Li Yang's movements were extremely skillful. In just ten seconds, the jadeite appeared in his hand again, and the carving knife continued to carve the jadeite body.
Careful people discovered that during the entire process, Li Yang's eyes never opened.
Not to mention the ordinary audience, even the judges and other jade carving masters have never seen the jade carving master who does not use his eyes to see.
This is jade carving, a job that requires very high precision.
In the audience, the eyes of the people sitting in the front row were even wider. These were the jade carving masters who had been eliminated before. Although they were eliminated, their skills were not bad, they were just not as good as those on the stage.
These people didn't pay special attention to what Li Yang's eyes looked like. Their attention was now entirely on Li Yang's hands. To be precise, it was the Wukun knife in his hand. This proved that the working conditions here were better than Li Yang's.
Get their attention.
Li Yang holds the Wukun knife in his hand and naturally uses the knife carving method.
The knife carving method is not commonly used by jade carvers, especially for jade. The hardness of jade is very high, and ordinary knives cannot carve on jade. Only specially made knives can.
Even if you have a very sharp knife, you can't do this without wrist strength. This is one of the reasons why knife carving is very rare nowadays. Even Chen Wuji used some machine assistance in the first place, and finally used his own carving knife to make the jade.
forming.
Only Li Yang used a carving knife when he came up, which was very unconventional.
Just use the carving knife directly. As the saying goes, a layman can see the fun, and an expert can see the door. Others only think that Li Yang's movements look comfortable. Only they can understand what is really shocking about it.
What frightened them the most was the result of Li Yang's stabbing.
This is very similar to the legendary stippling method. All jade carving masters are familiar with this term. Some jade carvers even use some machines to carve stippling on jade articles, claiming that they use the stippling method.
However, real jade carving masters all understand that this is a self-deceptive statement. The stipple engraving method has not appeared in history, and Lu Zigang once used it. Unfortunately, after Lu Zigang, it has never been used again, and it has become a regretted lost tradition.
Unique knowledge.
"Master Hu, you are from Suzhou, what do you think?"
A jade carving master in his sixties with a gray beard turned his head and asked the person next door. Several people around him also turned their heads and looked at the Master Hu who was being asked.
"I don't know, I really don't know!"
Master Hu was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed bitterness. He was born in a family of jade carvings in Suzhou, and his ancestor was once the descendant of Lu Zigang. He has always regarded himself as the authentic descendant of Lu Zigang.
He naturally understands Lu Zigang's dot engraving method very well. He also understands what the person asked just now. Others just want to know from him whether the dot engraving method used by Li Yang is the legendary dot engraving method that no one except Lu Zigang knows.
Law.
It's a pity that he can't answer this question. Like everyone else, he has never seen the stipple engraving method.
"Master Wang, what do you think?"
The person who asked the question before did not give up and asked another jade carving master. This jade carving master came from Yunnan and had no specific relationship with Lu Zigang. However, he also used the knife carving method.
They both have the inheritance of knife carving, so they should know something about it.
Master Wang turned around, glanced at the many colleagues around him, and slowly shook his head: "I don't know if this is true or not!"
His words made many people look disappointed. Is the stipple engraving method very important? This is an important factor for Lu Zigang to become a master. It is precisely because Lu Zigang created the magical stipple engraving method that he made those few pieces.
The master's work has achieved the name of the master.
This also means that with the stippling method, it is very possible to become a master.
Grandmasters, even jade carving masters like them need to look up to them. If Chen Wuji's name hadn't been used to call for this masters competition, it would never have been possible for so many masters to come.
Without Chen Wuji, half of the people might not come. This is the influence of the Grandmaster.
Master Wang glanced at the big screen again, and suddenly said: "But I know that the carving method used by Master Li is definitely extraordinary. The effect of each stroke of his knife is different, and it is not as simple as it seems!"
After Master Wang finished speaking, he looked at the big screen quietly and used the knife carving method at the same time. He was the most shocked at this moment.
Every time Li Yang used his sword, it seemed like a simple click, but it actually contained a lot of complicated things. If he hadn't looked at it carefully and been immersed in the art of knife carving for many years, he might not have been able to see it.
"not simple!"
Several people said in unison, with shock on everyone's face. They might not believe what others said. Master Wang, who has been using knife carving all his life, said this, so they couldn't help but think about it.
"Master Wang, how do you think Master Li's sword skills compare with yours?"
A jade carving master asked carefully. This question was a bit sharp. After all, they were all eliminated. If Master Wang said that his sword skills were stronger than Li Yang, wouldn't he be very unconvinced that he was eliminated.
However, this question worried them so much that they still wanted to ask it even though they knew it was not good.
Master Wang slowly shook his head, a hint of loneliness suddenly appeared on his face, and said lightly: "Compared to Master Li, I am far behind!"
Out of reach?
The people around were even more shocked. This evaluation was beyond their expectation. It can be said that it was very, very high. Although Master Wang was eliminated, he was still a famous jade carving master. Compared with those on the stage,
It's only a little bit different.
If we use academic performance to compare, Li Yang and the others are top students with scores above 95 in Keke, while Master Wang and the others are top students with scores above 90 every time. This gap is not obvious.
But at this time, Master Wang said that he was far behind Li Yang. Doesn't this mean that Li Yang was too much higher than him?
This gap even gave Master Wang the idea of being incomparable for life. You can guess this just by looking at Master Wang's expression at this time.
"How on earth did he do it!"
Another jade carving master suddenly asked. He didn't specifically ask anyone, it was more like talking to himself.
"I don't know, I really don't know!"
Every jade carving master suddenly had this answer in his heart after hearing this question. I don’t know. I really don’t know anything. Li Yang makes everyone unable to see through it, let alone how he achieved such achievements today.
.
Compared with other jade carving masters, Li Yang is like a legend and even more of a mystery.
Time passed slowly, and the jade carving masters stopped talking. Their eyes only stared at one place, and that was Li Yang.
The jade carving work of other masters is also worth learning and learning from, but it is not enough compared to Li Yang who brought them a completely unfamiliar field. After the game, many jade carving masters who participated in the finals even regretted not being able to see it with their own eyes.
When Li Yang made this work, he had no choice but to watch the video.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the works of many jade carving masters gradually took shape. Although they have not yet taken shape, they already have a difference.
These jade carving masters are well-deserved. They are just prototypes and have already brought out their own artistic conception.
Among the fifteen jade carving masters, Li Yang is the most incomprehensible.
The jadeite in Li Yang's hand is smaller than before, and a small hole was dug out in the middle by Li Yang. However, the general image has not changed and it is still the same as before.
No one else knows what to carve into his piece of jade.
"Mr. Chen?"
At the judges' table, Mr. Hong turned to look at Chen Wuji again. Like the eliminated jade carving masters, they saw the magic of Li Yang's previous sword skills, but they also couldn't understand Li Yang.
Everyone is curious, and seniors like them are no exception. Mr. Hong finally couldn't help but ask Chen Wuji.
Chen Wuji turned around with a faint smile on his face: "There are still three hours until the end of the competition. Everything will be revealed naturally in three hours!"
Chen Wuji's answer was almost the same as not answering. Everyone knew that there would definitely be a result after the game.
What they wanted to ask was what Li Yang was doing and what impact his actions had on the outcome of the game. Chen Wuji avoided answering this question, which disappointed them.
How did they know that even Chen Wuji didn't know what Li Yang was doing at this time.
Everything Li Yang did was completely beyond his knowledge. These things were not taught to Li Yang by him at all, so he could not answer Mr. Hong's question.
In the competition field, the corners of Li Yang's mouth raised higher and higher, and his smile became thicker and thicker. This was a natural reaction.
This work is developing into what he imagined.
Although Li Yang closed his eyes and was in a state of unity between man and nature, no one knew the situation of Jade at this time better than him. Under the three-dimensional picture, he could see much more clearly and detailedly than the naked eye.
.
Although the appearance of the entire jadeite has not changed much, Li Yang has changed it a lot internally.
These changes are not out of Li Yang's control yet. As long as this continues, when this work takes shape, it will definitely be a work that shocks everyone.
Time continued to pass, and the closer it was to the end of the game, the louder the discussion in the audience became.
The works of many jade carving masters are in the final stage. Many people feel a sense of satisfaction watching these exquisite works of art being born in front of their eyes.
Some jade carvers, or people who are very proficient in jade carving, are still talking about their own opinions and commenting on the works of these jade carving masters.
These comments are basically compliments. These jade carving masters are really good at what they do, so they can't find any faults at all.
Among all the masters, Li Yang is the one who is talked about the most. Li Yang’s jadeite has also taken shape, but it is a square shape. This piece of jadeite by Li Yang is more like a semi-open carving, with several sides of the jadeite carved by
Li Yang carved many patterns.
These patterns are displayed on the big screen. Unfortunately, not many people can understand these patterns.
The time is already 4:30 in the afternoon, and there is only the last half hour left before the end of this game. (To be continued)
