Chapter 7 Technique is close to the true meaning of the Tao

"Who are you?" asked Wang Yao. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Xiao Lao'er is the shopkeeper of this small shop, and he is also a builder, his family name is Li, and the son can politely call Li Lao. The old man reported his name, and Wang Yao knew that he was the boss here, and what he said just now must have provoked the other party.

Sure enough, Li Lao began to be difficult, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Xiao Lao'er just saw Gongzi shaking his head at these ornaments from a distance, and I heard Gongzi say that Xiao Lao'er's works are too ordinary, with this insight, presumably Gongzi must be an insider, Xiao Lao'er wants to ask Gongzi what kind of high opinion he has, and solve the confusion in his heart?"

Wang Yao was speechless for a while: "This, this ......"

Li Lao's eyes showed unkind eyes, he was young, he dared to speak wildly, he wanted to see what kind of flowers could pop out of Wang Yao's mouth.

Wang Yao couldn't help but be embarrassed, where did he know what jewelry aesthetics were, but looking at the expression of this old Li in front of him, I was afraid that he would not be able to estimate that he would not be able to give up his thoughts, thinking that he could not lose the face of the earthlings, and immediately felt a sense of pride in his heart, okay!

Wang Yao's eyes rolled, he already had a way to deal with it, coughed, and said in a deep voice: "Since Elder Li is very affectionate, that kid is offended." ”

Li Lao was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Yao to really dare to say it.

Just listen to him: "To be honest, every piece of jewelry here can be called the best, whether it is style or handiwork is perfect, if it is not for the people who have reached the peak of their skills will never be able to carve such a work, it can be called a unique work in the world, but ......"

Wang Yao's words of praise that were very close to going against his will almost praised Li Lao's works out of the universe, and just when Li Lao was proud, the suspense that suddenly broke out couldn't help but whet Li Lao's appetite, making him hurriedly ask: "But what?"

Wang Yao's eyes flashed with a ray of fine light, and with his hands behind his back, he instantly seemed to be incarnated as a master who had reached the peak, looking up at the roof at a forty-five degree angle, and his eyes were deep as if he had seen through the boundaries of time and space, but not to mention, the anxious Li Lao was about to have a heart attack.

He kept pretending to man for a while, and then he said slowly: "The fly in the ointment is that after all, it is an ordinary product, and it has not reached the point of being passed down for hundreds of generations and thousands of generations. ”

"What are you talking about?!" Li Lao was shocked and angry.

"The style is exquisite, but it inevitably falls into clichΓ©s, some are the same, think that there are thousands of such works in this world, and the works that go with the flow are like a soulless body, can you achieve the best? Exquisite handicraft, with their own almost artistic carving means to sublimate gold, silver and jade and other vulgar things to make them lifelike, but after all, it is difficult to get rid of the word skill, only care about carving with beautiful jade, gold and silver, is flashy, blindly selling their own skills, is complacent, can not go further, has already made their works stained with secular atmosphere and do not know it.....

As the so-called technology is close to art, art is close to the way, you work behind closed doors, and you know the size of the world and the breadth of the lake and sea.

The more Wang Yao spoke, the faster he spoke, Li Lao was still very angry at first, but as he continued to listen, he was already sweating with shock, and his body trembled, especially when he heard Wang Yao's last words, the whole person seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt from the sky, and muttered to himself: "Skill is close to art, art is close to Tao, skill is close to art, art is close to Tao......"

Wang Yao saw that what he said was effective, so he added a fire, and Shi Shiran asked: "Dare to ask Elder Li, what was the original meaning of you naming this store [Crystal Palace] in the first place?

Li Lao was stunned, he instantly recalled the ambition of his youth, he didn't expect to be muddy for decades, but now he has long forgotten his original intention, if it wasn't for Wang Yao to wake up today, he would have almost forgotten, and he couldn't help but cry for a while, and bowed respectfully to Wang Yao, and asked in a trembling voice: "I still hope for the guidance of the son." ”

Wang Yao was startled, and hurriedly helped Li Lao, he didn't dare to accept such an old man bowing to him, raised his hand and pointed to the counters made of crystal, and said: "Li Lao, you can think of using crystals to build counters, but why don't you use crystals to make jewelry? I looked at it just now, there is no jewelry made of crystals for sale here, Crystal Palace Crystal Palace, what can we talk about Crystal Palace without crystals? There must be corresponding town store goods for sale, so that they can be called complementary to each other!"

Immediately, he told Li Lao about the concepts of diamond rings, crystal earrings, crystal necklaces, diamond headdresses and bracelets on the earth, and Li Lao's eyes lit up when he listened, as if he had seen a new world, and he admired the various concepts that Wang Yao said, but then his eyes dimmed and explained the reason to Wang Yao.

It turns out that this kind of thing is not valued by them here, it is basically no different from stone, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it is at most a more beautiful stone, if it weren't for Li Lao's feeling that this thing still has some effect, it would not appear in his store at all, let alone make jewelry.

After Wang Yao heard this, he was speechless, did the people here have aesthetic problems or what, and said to Li Lao with deep meaning: "Your vision is just like this?"

Li Lao was a little ashamed: "But, but this thing is worthless!"

Wang Yao continued to pretend to be mysterious and said, "Beauty, can it be measured by money?"

Li Lao was stunned, as if he had been empowered, and finally was completely convinced, and said: "Son, I see it, it's the little old man who looks good." ”

Wang Yao laughed: "It's okay, in fact, I'm just talking nonsense, if you really have a heart to explore beauty, every grass and tree in the world, mountains and rivers, can become the material in your hand, it doesn't have to be valuable." Wang Yao's words are sincere, in his hometown, there are people who use bamboo to carve, and if they want to come to the same place, jewelry carving should be similar!

"Explore the heart of beauty? Childe is every word, the little old man has been taught, and today he has benefited a lot from Childe, and please accept my worship. After saying that, Li Lao bent down and made a ninety-degree bow, which is a courtesy that only between master and apprentice.

Wang Yao was flattered, and hurriedly looked around, and hurriedly helped Li Lao up, this one who bowed at every turn is still an old man, how embarrassed are you to make him, just say a word, and want to leave.

"Hey, stay here, the little old man has a clumsy work, please take a look at it. Li Lao didn't give Wang Yao a chance to shirk, and quickly went into the room and took something out.

Wang Yao saw that it was a box.

Under the instruction of Li Lao, he could only open the box slowly with curiosity, and at the moment when the box opened, in his eyes, he saw a trace of scorching white streamer shooting out, and he was shocked.

I saw that the things in the box were a snow-like hosta, the whole body was snow-white, the shape was like a silver shuttle, and the overall depiction of the texture of flowing water, at first glance, it seemed that it was really like the water was flowing, but the material did not seem to be made of jade, like jade and not jade, so it gave people an indescribable visual experience, making it dazzling and abnormal.

Wang Yao was surprised: "This is?!"

Li Lao explained: " This hairpin is called the water spirit, it is my clumsy work when I was young, the raw material is the heart of a hundred-year-old cedar tree, it is carved on a whim after I found it by chance in the early years, because of its special material, it can be worn in the body to repel insects and avoid dust and sand, the whole body is fragrant, but unfortunately no one appreciated it at the time, and over time it was pressed by me at the bottom of the box, after this blow, gradually I did not dare to try again, did not dare to find another way, if it was not for the child's point today, I did not dare to take it out to offer ugliness, according to the child's vision, how about this [water spirit]? ”

Wang Yao gave a thumbs up and shouted, "Good, beautiful, it's beautiful." Old Li, I didn't expect you to hide it deeply, and what I said just now was a shame. ”

Li Lao couldn't cry and laughed: "Childe won't make fun of me, it's just that after so many years, it's hard to return to the original intention." ”

Wang Yao shook his head with a smile and retorted: "I don't agree with this sentence, as long as you have a dream, you will never be late." ”

Hearing this, Li Lao couldn't help but cheer up, and said: "I am far from the depth of the child's realm, dare to ask, can the son look at this [water spirit]?"

Wang Yao quipped: "Don't be a fool, I'm afraid you won't cede it!" After saying that, Li Lao and he both laughed.

"What a perfect hosta, I finally saw something satisfying, old man, I want this hosta. ”

At this moment, a voice interjected between the two, Wang Yao and Li Lao couldn't help but follow the reputation, and when they saw the comer, Wang Yao was stunned and said secretly: "It's her!"

The person who came was the girl she saw when she came in before, and at this moment her gaze was completely fixed on [Shui Lu].

"I'm very sorry, this guest, this hairpin has already been sold to the boy in front of you. Li Lao explained.

"Oh?!" Shen Muxi moved his gaze to Wang Yao.

Wang Yao was also looking at her, his mind was like electricity, and he smiled at Li Lao: "Since this beauty wants it, how can I take the favor of others, although I am very reluctant, but I am willing to let it be given to a person with a heart like a beauty." ”

These words, if it were an ordinary woman, it would have been Wang Yao's way, but unfortunately Shen Muxi was not moved by Wang Yao's sweet words at all, but stared at Wang Yao with a frown, and said secretly: "This person's face is bloodless, the green qi is surging, and the eyes are deeply sunken and faintly covered with black gas, which is a sign of Jingyuan's great loss, which is a sign that only too much sex can have." ”

Looking at Wang Yao's mouth full of lewd words and a handsome face, Shen Muxi immediately regarded him as a disciple, a lewd person who hooked up with women everywhere, she hated this kind of person the most, she had no good impression of Wang Yao, on the contrary, she was extremely disgusted, and she didn't have a good face when she heard that he was willing to give up the hosta, and said coldly: "No need, this girl doesn't need others to give alms, let's leave it to you who is about to die! Hmph!" After speaking, she turned around and left.

Leaving Wang Yao with a look of surprise, when he reacted and caught up, where was the figure of the woman, and said angrily: "This evil woman has a poisonous mouth, and she cursed me to death for no reason, if I didn't beat women, I would want you to look good today." ”

Li Lao also followed, and persuaded with a smile: "Forget it, son, why bother competing with a little girl, come and put it away, from today onwards, this [Water Spirit] will be yours." ”

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, and took the hairpin box that Li Lao had installed, and then suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have any money on him?!

In the secular world here, the currency in circulation between ordinary mortals is the same as in ancient times, and it is also used for gold, silver and copper coins, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and one hundred taels of copper coins.

He only found it when he entered the downtown area, but he forgot it for a while, and at this moment, facing the hairpin handed by Li Lao, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking that he would have to use spirit stones to offset the account?

Li Lao observed his words and looks, naturally saw Wang Yao's embarrassment, knew what he was thinking at the moment, and laughed abruptly: "Childe has seen the outside, this hairpin doesn't need money, it is given to you for free." ”

"Free?!" Wang Yao was stunned and hurriedly excused himself: "No, how can this be." ”

"There's nothing you can't do, just with your kind words today, it's enough to offset the price of this [Water Spirit] a hundred times, and I still take advantage of it, please accept it!" Li Lao was resolute.

Wang Yao saw that he couldn't get rid of it, so he could only accept it, and said gratefully: "Then I'm welcome." ”

"Childe is serious, I just hope that my clumsy work in my early years can still get into the eyes of Childe's intentions. ”

"What?!"

Wang Yao didn't react for a while.

Li Lao smiled kindly: "Men can't use this thing." ”

Wang Yaodeng knew that Li Lao was laughing at himself, so he rubbed the bridge of his nose helplessly, circled with Li Lao for a few words, and said goodbye.

Li Laomu sent Wang Yao away and said goodbye: "Son, let's go, goodbye." ”

"See you soon. ”

Wang Yao also learned to arch his hand, and left the jewelry store, not paying attention to the matter of the strange female cultivator, but he didn't know that the crisis had already quietly laid the groundwork.
