Chapter 531: But I Heard Light Thunder Over the Clouds (2) Glass Jar
The green mountains are far away, and the green and dark are vast.
The pace is not fast, but it crosses a hundred feet and thousands of mountains in an instant.
"Ding-ding-ding-"
The crisp sound of knocking came into Li Pichen's ears, and the Taoist raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that there was a grass house in the mountain forest.
The bamboo is the pillar, the thatch is the top, and the top is covered with some tattered tiles, which seem to have not been repaired for a long time.
The Taoist's pace slowed down and walked towards that place.
The clanging sound is getting louder and clearer.
A stubborn stone like a barrier came into view, Li Bichen walked outside the hut, and saw clearly, at the entrance of the house, there was a half-kneeling man, he held a hammer and a cone in his hand, and he couldn't beat on the stubborn stone, the hammer was crisp, and the wrist was swung very fast, but when the cone was lowered, he was cautious, but it was very accurate.
This fast and accurate sound echoes in people's ears, like a beaded curtain, just like in front of the tiled house on a rainy day, the raindrops crackle and fall, connecting into a unique and string-like sound.
The stone wall was carved by him, and the stone skin kept falling, and what was exposed in it was a beautiful jade that shimmered with warmth and brilliance.
This man is a jade craftsman.
If the jade seeker has a very high skill, he can call the jade craftsman.
Li Bichen stood not far away, his eyes were fixed on him carving, and the man seemed to know that someone was coming, because Li Bichen saw his back move slightly, which was a sign that he was going to stand up.
"Whew-"
The man got up, and a large piece of stone skin in front of him had been knocked down by him, and it could be seen that there was no little broken jade slag on the stone skin underground.
"Good craftsmanship. ”
Li Bichen nodded at him, and the man smiled: "Where did Dao Ye come from?"
Li Bichen pointed behind him, and then pointed to the sky: "I came from the sky, and I walked here in Huangchen." ”
"Heavenly?"
The man raised his head, looked at Li Bichen again, and smiled: "Dao Ye compares himself to a master outside the world?" But in this deep mountain and old forest, there are few people, I think Dao Ye is here, if the guess is good, it should be to collect medicine, right?"
Li Bichen didn't explain, and the man didn't delve into it, Li Bichen saw this, and looked at the jade, it was just a casual walk, so he talked to him: "This jade looks warm and glutinous, is it the best mutton fat jade?"
"White jade mutton fat, this is the best of the best, what Dao Ye said is not bad at all!"
The man took Li Bi's words, there was joy in his voice, and his hand pulled on the jade in front of him, and said: "I have been a jade craftsman for thirty years, this jade, just by looking at the appearance, I can know how big this jade is, how many there are, whether it is a good jade or a bad jade." ”
"Our work, without a little eyesight, it's not easy to do, for example, this piece of big jade, I'll compare it like this, hey, little Taoist, let me tell you, this thing is estimated to be as tall as a person!"
"I'm afraid that I have dug up the mother jade, and now, if I carve something, even if it is ground into a jade bracelet, I can have a lot of silver...... Oh no, it can sell a lot of gold!"
The man looked at the jade wall in front of him, his eyes were radiating brilliance, but at the same time, he scratched his head: "But, such a big piece of jade, what do I have to carve?"
Li Bichen looked at the piece of jade, and said casually: "Why don't you carve a picture of the dragon ascending to heaven?"
"Dragons, no way, no way!"
The man listened to Li Bichen's suggestion, and waved his hand again and again: "The dragon is a good thing, and it is a sacred object, but if you want to say that carving the dragon on this jade is not only an insult to the dragon, because although this jade is good, it is still not qualified to carve a dragon." ”
Li Bichen was surprised when he said this: "Such a good mutton fat jade, one person is tall, only people who are destined to find it, so how many people who are looking for jade and can see this thing in their whole life? If you want to carve a dragon, you still don't want to?"
"If you don't want to, it's just that you can't say it's qualified?"
Li Bichen was curious, the man looked at the Taoist, and said: "The Taoist master doesn't know, I have been doing this for thirty years, how to carve all jade, what it can carve, what it can't carve, I have a rod in my heart." ”
"It's like carving an ordinary broken jade, that kind of chaotic black and green jade, if it is carved with a dragon, it is an evil jade, which will attract disasters, and it is completely unworthy of the dignity of a dragon!"
"Dragon, the emperor's honor, this white jade is just the posture of a minister, and it can have a product, but it is definitely not God. ”
The jade hammer in his hand danced, and he made a comparison to the jade: "This thing can only carve a tiger and a snake, or a statue of the god of the earth, if it is a thing that ascends to heaven, it must not be carved, this is a piece of jade." ”
Li Bichen heard this statement for the first time, and he became interested: "Then according to what you said, what kind of beautiful jade can carve a dragon?"
The man didn't say a word, but at this time he turned around, put down the jade hammer and chisel in his hand, strode back, and returned to the house.
The tile house was dilapidated, and the thatched hut was shivering, but when the man entered the house, Li Bichen suddenly felt that his back looked a little solemn, as if there were some great utensils in that house.
This kind of look was only experienced by the blacksmith master who wanted to make a golden wrong knife.
The craftsmen are the same in some ways, Li Bichen's eyes are fixed on the portal, and after a few cups of tea, the portal is pushed open with a creak, cautiously, and slowly to the extreme.
The man was holding an object in both hands, and the door in front of him was brought up with his feet, and he paused one step at a time, and he walked slowly, like a devout believer, holding an artifact that must not be desecrated.
Seeing it clearly, it was Li Bichen, who also lost his mind slightly in an instant.
The man's tone was solemn and solemn: "Only this kind of jade can be worthy of carving a dragon, this is something that I spent thirty years carving, three days ago, just made it, Xiao Dao Ye is the first person to see this treasure in the past thirty years, except for me." ”
The thing in his hand was a lamp.
The lower lamp is like a wave, the upper lamp is like the Tianshan Mountain, and a long dragon in the center is flying, which is bright and bright, and shocks people's hearts.
"I don't dare to call this lamp by any name, I only feel that it is an insult to it, so I only dare to call this treasure - glass lamp. ”
The man's tone was full of joy, but there was a lack of excitement, because thirty years of time had been spent on this jade cup, Li Bichen looked at his expression and face, and understood a lot in an instant.
All the jade carvings and jade are actually trial works made for the purpose of carving this glass cup, and the only thing he poured his heart and soul into is this glass cup.
This kind of treasure can be carved in the mortal dust, if it is said to be an immortal magic weapon, it still makes people believe, but anyone who sees it should be indescribable, because it is impossible to believe that such a strange treasure is actually from the hand of a mortal.
This artifact cannot be obtained from a non-imperial house.
It can be seen that this is definitely not the glass of later generations, this is a glass jade cup that really only exists in legends.
And this kind of glazed jade is something that no one has ever seen.
"I see, it's true, take out this glass jade cup, and I will understand, why you said before, the mutton fat white jade wall is not enough to carve a dragon, it is a torment. ”
Li Bichen nodded: "It's really tormented." ”
The man's face was still religious, and at this time, he looked at the glass cup for a while, and sighed again.
"Why sigh?"
Li Bichen asked, and the man said: "This glass jade was carved by me as a jade cup, but the dragon body on it has no eyes, no matter how unparalleled it is, it is just a dead thing." ”
"So my glass cup, in fact, is a defective product, the dragon has no god, even if it lights up the fire, it is still a missing vessel. ”
His tone gradually became lower, from the initial excitement to shame: "This last knife, I don't dare to carve, because I don't dare to destroy the previous artistic conception, I don't know when I can carve the last knife, but this dragon has no eyes, this lamp is a remnant." ”
"This thought has become a demonic obstacle, and the Taoist master also knows that sometimes the obsession is deep, and it is a demon. ”
"If you are obsessed, you become a demon?"
Li Bichen fell silent, looked at the man in front of him, and peeked into the glass cup again.
The light is bright in the lamp, but the man is dark and indescribable.
One is in its prime, and the other is in its twilight.
"The demons in the heart have no appearance, they come with things, joy turns into suffering, happiness turns into sorrow, why do you have to do this?"
Li Bichen sighed, and said at this time:
"How can everything in the world be absolutely perfect? The so-called heaven and earth are incomplete, besides, you carved this dragon, it is not godless, in my opinion, this dragon, but there is a god tight. ”
The man was stunned, and then shook his head: "Little Daoist, you don't know the trick of this, it's really ......"
"Non-yes, non-yes, you see, you look at it again?"
Li Bichen gently stroked the palm of his hand on the glass cup, but in an instant, in the eyes of the man, the scenery changed, and he suddenly saw a magnificent brilliance.
A jade dragon suddenly appeared, the king ascended to the sky, the sun and the moon on the top, the rivers below, the yellow dust in front of him, and the clouds and rain in the sky were long.
The sound of the dragon's chant spread all over the world, the man's body was trembling, and the green dragon lowered his head, but the man could see clearly, and there was no brilliance in his eyes.
The dark dragon, how can it be called a dragon? But there is no perfect thing under the sky, and if everything comes, if it is not, there is no need to force it.
The green dragon lowered his head and came to the front of the man, and the man stroked the dragon's eyes, and the surrounding scenery was cloudy and mist, and he didn't know when to wrap him, and he was swaying and drunk.
A firelight suddenly appeared in his eyes, which illuminated the universe, and at this time the dragon body was extremely sacred, and the smoke and clouds on the body lingered, and it was at this time that the man suddenly saw clearly.
As if the spiritual light crossed his heart, he picked up the hammer and chisel in his hand at some point, as if someone was guiding, he carved it over with the eyes of the green dragon, and waited for a while, two, three times..... I don't know how long it took to knock, the dragon eyes were successful, the fire in the sky lingered, and suddenly seven thunder swords flew down.
"Bang!"
It was like something was broken, the man watched the seven thunder swords slash through, through his chest, the blood gushed out, and the next moment, as if the sky was spinning, he suddenly came back to his senses, and when he looked at it again, the glass cup was placed on the ground, and there was a fire burning on it.
Clouds and smoke swayed in the dragon's eyes, and the white gas curled up, and at this time the glass cup was raised.
"Cheng.... It became ......"
The man trembled and knelt down, holding the glass cup up, looking at the everlasting fire, and the glass cup was held up by him, and above the dragon eye, the clouds were rising.
"Dao Ye - Dao Ye - I ——?"
The man laughed, and stood up frantically, but he was stunned.
There were no Taoists, no other people, it was still a deep mountain, and the sky was getting dark.
In the depths of this green mountain, there is a glass lamp, igniting an inextinguishable brilliance.
It's burning, as if he's burning.
The life that burned for thirty years was exchanged for eternal brightness.
In the sky, there was a sudden light thunder.
In my ears, there was a sudden whisper.
Is that.... Sigh.
.....
"When the glass in the sky is in the world, Huang Chen is reckless and a few people are stupid;"
"How can there be a complete thing in ancient times, who knows if the lights are reflected through the ages?"
