Lao Zhang wanted to say something else, but Lao Xiao quickly pulled Lao Zhang aside and shook his head at him.
"Don't worry, wait for me here, I'll go talk to that young man. It's your fault too. If you hadn't left a bad impression on others before, they might not hate you so much." Lao Xiao said
.
Lao Zhang's hobby of carving is deeply rooted in his bones. Such a person has no scruples at all. It is precisely because of this that he rashly disturbs Chang Xing. He does not care at all that others do not know him at all and bother him rashly.
What attitude will it take.
Lao Xiao settled Lao Zhang and walked up to Chang Xing again. Chang Xing stopped before Lao Xiao could speak.
"Young man, I'm sorry, my old brother is a fool. He is crazy about the art of carving. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you so many times. I saw you carving the Monkey King the other day, and you only carved an outline.
I stopped, probably because I was a little unsure about the image of the Monkey King. As soon as I got back, I spent the whole night looking for friends and materials about the Monkey King. Yesterday, I hurriedly sent them to the park. I didn’t expect you yesterday
I didn't come for a day and couldn't deliver the materials to you. When I came today and saw that you had started carving, I came up to stop you at all costs, fearing that you would start rashly without getting it right. He is such an idiot and has no bad intentions.
"Don't mind." Lao Xiao said.
Chang Xing nodded: "I can also see that he has good intentions. I was a little upset before, so I had a bad temper. But I understand his good intentions. Everyone has their own style in creation, so
, I hope not to be disturbed while I am carving. I have already made up my mind on the carving of the Monkey King, otherwise I would not start today."
"What do you think if he just watches from the side without saying a word or disturbing you at all?" Lao Xiao asked.
"This park is not my home. As long as we don't disturb each other, how can I restrict him? Since I come to this park to carve, I am naturally not afraid of people coming and going around me. As long as I don't disturb him from time to time." Chang Xing said calmly.
"That's good, that's good. Young man, thank you for your magnanimity." Lao Xiao thanked him repeatedly. He knew that if Lao Zhang was not allowed to come and observe this young man's carvings, he would probably have trouble sleeping and eating again these days.
Only then did Lao Xiao go and invite Lao Zhang back. The two of them sat not far away and watched Chang Xing carving.
Chang Xing naturally knew that someone was watching, so he didn't care. His mood was not affected at all. The carving knife in his hand flew like a shuttle. The wood chips he carved flew around, but they all fell into a small tin jar beside him. These wood chips were still in Chang Xing's hand.
Of great use.
"Lao Zhang, how is this young man's carving skills?" Lao Xiao couldn't tell.
"Amazing! This kind of carving is unheard of. I can't see his carving technique as a sect, but every one of his cuts is exquisite. There is really no more carving and no less carving. It's really amazing!" Lao Zhang!
I was so impressed that I was completely in awe.
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, or the young man will chase people away again." Seeing Lao Zhang getting excited and talking louder and louder, Lao Xiao quickly reminded him.
Lao Zhang quickly covered his mouth with his hands and looked at Chang Xing's hands eagerly.
Chang Xing's technique is extremely fast. After all, he already has a carving sample in his mind, and all the details have been worked out. Now he is just carving according to the sample. Every cut of the knife is calculated by Chang Xing. Therefore, the speed is so fast that it is simply amazing.
It was dazzling, but despite the speed, every moment of the knife was redundant. By noon, the appearance of the Monkey King was already lifelike.
But Lao Zhang was a little puzzled: "It's really strange. Why didn't he leave the two feathers of the Phoenix Wings Purple Gold Crown in place at the beginning? Could it be that he was going to insert two more feathers later as a replacement? This is ridiculous.
.”
Although adding some things to the carving can simplify some details of the carving, after all, it is adding something, which is often incompatible with the carving. It makes people very uncomfortable. Therefore, they usually find ways to solve these details directly on the carving itself.
.Many Monkey King carvings allow the Monkey King to grasp the two phoenix feathers with both hands, so that the phoenix feathers have support and can be attached to the surface of the carving. No need to add anything.
When Chang Xing completed the entire carving, Sun Wukong was already wearing chain-locked golden armor, walking on lotus root silk, wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, and holding a wishful gold hoop. However, there was no long phoenix on the purple gold crown with phoenix wings.
Lingzi, it always seems like something is missing.
"Alas! What a pity!" Lao Zhang sighed.
Lao Xiao, a layman, also felt that the carving had some flaws: "No way. This young man is so good at his craftsmanship, how could he ignore these things?"
After Chang Xing finished carving, he did not stop. Instead, he picked up the tin can and selected a lot of wood chips from it. The wood chips were thick and thin. If you look carefully in the past, these wood chips were all very complete.
Granules. Chang Xing picked up a piece of sawdust and started carving on it. The sawdust was slightly larger than a grain of rice, so it was quite difficult to carve it. Generally, it was possible to wear a magnifying glass and use a very fine carving knife.
Carving, but Chang Xing did not change the carving knife at all. He still held the same carving knife, and the carving speed was not satisfactory at all. After a while, he carved the particles and pressed it on the purple gold crown with phoenix wings.
It was firmly fixed.
Lao Zhang's eyes immediately lit up and he said happily: "It's actually possible to do this! Wonderful! Although it is cumbersome and fragile to do this, if it is glued, these two phoenix feathers will be perfect and maintain the
The characteristics of Feng Lingzi are completely integrated into the whole sculpture. It is really a wonderful idea. Of course, without this superb skill, it would not be possible."
Lao Zhang thought that Chang Xing would first carve the two phoenix feathers out of wood chips piece by piece, fit them together, and then use glue to stick the wood chips together.
But what he didn't expect was that Chang Xing's work was even more perfect than he imagined. Chang Xing didn't intend to use glue at all. Instead, he wanted to use these sawdust to fit together, and then use the method of refining to make the two
The phoenix feathers have the quality of wood carvings and the flexibility of phoenix feathers.
The two phoenix feathers are very long and naturally require a lot of wood chips to form. It took Chang Xing a long time. The wood chips in the tin can were almost used up, but the two feathers were just completed. It seems that everything was done by Chang Xing in advance.
It’s just calculated. The parts carved on the mahogany wood just make up for the two phoenix feathers. What a wonderful thing it is!
When Chang Xing is finished, he turns the Monkey King slightly with his hands, and the two phoenix feathers on the Monkey King's head keep swinging, just like two real phoenix feathers.
"Amazing skills!" Lao Zhang stood up and was stunned for a long time before he said four words. He didn't use glue, didn't prepare other materials, and didn't waste any materials. It was so accurate. Lao Zhang was carving.
He is considered a number one figure in the world, and his knowledge is extraordinary, but I have never heard of such miraculous skills.
Even though Lao Xiao is a layman, he can still understand that if he can achieve this level of carving, then he is close to Taoism, right?
In fact, for cultivators, especially those who have reached the level of cultivation of Chang Xing, it is not that difficult to achieve this level. Ordinary people cannot consider all the details. But for monks,
, but it is not difficult. Chang Xing’s spiritual consciousness is stronger than that of ordinary monks. He can visualize the Monkey King perfectly in the Taoist orifice, and his control over the power of the carving knife is simply outrageous.
level, so that the calculated carving process can be realized without any differences.
At this time, the carving is considered complete, but it is not finished yet. If Chang Xing does not use Taoism, the two phoenix feathers will not last long. Although they fit together, after all, the joint is too delicate and only needs to be touched a few times.
, it may fall apart.
When Chang Xing shook the Monkey King, he had already used Taoism to refine the Monkey King. A shaft was formed in the two feathers, connecting all the sawdust wedges in series. And
It was completely integrated with the sculpture. Chang Xing put down the wooden sculpture of the Monkey King and stood up to move his body. Although doing such a small thing, for a monk at his level, it is not a big workload.
Lao Zhang hurriedly came over and asked eagerly: "Can I pick it up and take a look?"
"Take it yourself. I'll do some exercise here and I'll be back later. Just wait for me here," Chang Xing said.
"Don't worry, go over. We'll wait for you here. As soon as you come back, I'll return this carving to you. Thank you." Lao Zhang naturally understood that Chang Xing was giving him a chance to appreciate it.
Chang Xing also looked at Lao Zhang's age. Otherwise, he would not have shown this carving to Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang's hair was white, somewhat similar to the old Taoist's hair.
Lao Xiao quickly thanked Chang Xing: "Thank you very much, young man. We will never take away your carvings."
Lao Zhang was holding the carvings and burst into tears. Lao Xiao quickly tried to dissuade him: "Lao Zhang, don't get other people's carvings wet, otherwise you will have no chance to get close to that young man in the future."
"I know, I know, I'm just so excited that I can see such a miraculous work in my lifetime. I will die if I hear it in the morning! Even if I close my eyes now, my life is worth it." Lao Zhang said.
"You madman, if you die and this young man creates more shocking works, won't you regret it?" Lao Xiao said with a smile.
"That's true. This young man is still able to create such amazing works at such a young age. Fortunately, he didn't read the materials I found. Otherwise, it would affect his creation. His Monkey King is completely unconventional.
Only when you have transcended the traditional definitions can you innovate. In my whole life, I just can't get out of these limitations. Without the courage of this young man, I will create a brand new work when I go back." Lao Zhang was excited.
