Chen Wuji let out a long breath. The book Li Yang gave him did not record much. Chen Wuji read it very quickly. After a while, he finished reading the manuscript that recorded the use of the Wukun knife. He had just read it.
After he finished, Mr. Song on the side hurriedly took the book from his hand.
Mr. Hong was squatting next to the table, still staring at the carving knife on the table.
After several minutes, Mr. Hong raised his head and asked softly: "Li Yang, can I pick up this knife and have a look?"
The four top jade carving masters reacted fiercely when they saw Wu Kun Dao, but Chen Wuji and the other three couldn't compare to Mr. Hong. To Mr. Hong, this was the sacred object of his ancestor.
"Okay, just be careful, this knife is very sharp!"
Li Yang nodded. He fixed the carving knife for everyone to see. When fixing it, he deliberately hid the blade inside. However, he did not expect Mr. Hong to have such a big reaction.
"Thanks!"
Mr. Hong said softly. He tried to calm down his mood, and then stretched out his hand to pick up the carving knife.
As soon as he stretched out his hand halfway, Mr. Hong suddenly stopped and ran out in a hurry. He washed his hands vigorously and soaked them in milk for a few minutes. After doing all this, he ran back again.
When he left, everyone was reading the book Li Yang brought, and no one touched the carving knife on the table.
Mr. Hong came back with an extremely solemn expression. He walked to the table. He first looked up to the sky and bowed, and then carefully took the Wukun knife in his hand. When he took the carving knife, his face showed another expression.
A violent excitement.
Chen Wuji, Mr. Song and Mr. Qi have been watching from the side, with the same serious expressions.
Mr. Jade King Ma stood next to Li Yang, his expression seemed very natural and he didn't say anything. Although they are both from the jade world, there are still big differences between jade carving and stone gambling.
Mr. Ma is not a jade carver, so he will not have the same feelings as these people.
Holding the carving knife, Mr. Hong's mood became even more excited. Mr. Hong's sect is a disciple of Lu Zigang. Strictly speaking, it was passed down by one of Lu Zigang's disciples. Although no one in later generations can achieve the achievements of the ancestor.
, but the respect for the ancestor is deep in everyone's heart.
To this day, Mr. Hong still has a memorial tablet of Lu Zigang in his home.
No one else said anything, and just watched Mr. Hong holding the carving knife quietly. The living room seemed extremely quiet for a while.
After more than ten minutes, Mr. Hong slowly stood up. His expression was no longer so excited, but Li Yang felt worried in his heart.
It can be said that Wu Kun Dao has a great attraction for Lu Zigang's disciples. If Mr. Hong asks for Wu Kun Dao, Li Yang really doesn't know how to refuse.
After all, Mr. Hong is also a highly respected senior, and he cannot be so perfunctory as he was with the Japanese.
Mr. Hong turned around, looked at Li Yang, and walked directly towards Li Yang.
Li Yang's brows twitched slightly, and he sighed slightly in his heart. He still had to face what he should face.
Mr. Hong was only a few steps away from Li Yang, and he soon stood in front of Li Yang. He lowered his head and glanced at the carving knife in his hand, and then said: "Li Yang, in fact, Mr. Chen wants to accept you as my wife."
When I was a disciple, I was opposed to it in my heart!"
"ah?"
Li Yang raised his head in shock. Chen Wuji and Mr. Song on the side also looked surprised. No one expected that Mr. Hong would say these words when he walked in front of Li Yang.
Mr. Hong ignored the others, still looking at the carving knife, and said slowly: "You are very talented, a true genius I have ever seen. Among the people I have seen in my life, it can be said that no one can compare with you.
However, the talent of stone gambling is not necessarily the talent of jade carving. Stone gambling can rely on luck, but jade carving is not good, it requires real efforts and no tricks!"
Everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise again. Mr. Jade King Ma was the most deeply touched by Mr. Hong's words.
In terms of stone gambling, he has never seen anyone more talented than Li Yang. His apprentice Shao Yuqiang is already very good. He can be said to be a genius and has achieved remarkable results at a young age.
But comparing him with Li Yang, it was like clay versus gems, there was no comparison at all.
Li Yang, he was the one who even won. Even though he only won once, in a fair comparison, he really lost.
Chen Wuji frowned slightly again. He did not agree with Mr. Hong's words, but he would not refute it at this time.
Li Yang's talent, in his opinion, is applicable to all aspects. It is a kind of wisdom, not simple luck. No matter how lucky a person is, it is useless to face things that he does not understand.
Just like the Mao porcelain that Li Yang got in Nanjing, if he hadn't had this knowledge and understanding, he wouldn't have picked it up. That tea set had been used many times in the teahouse.
Everyone was silent. Mr. Hong raised his head, sighed, and continued: "But now I have changed my previous view. I think you are really suitable for learning jade carving. Maybe there will be another master among our jade carving masters.
A great story about becoming a master and a disciple!"
Mr. Hong held up the Wu Kun Sword with both hands, placed it flat in front of Li Yang, and said again: "Promise me that you will not bury this magical sword, and use it to create a glorious era again, okay?"
Li Yang froze there, looking at Mr. Hong blankly.
He originally thought that Mr. Hong would ask for this Wukun knife, but he didn't expect that Mr. Hong would actually say such a thing in the end.
Judging from Mr. Hong's intentions, not only did he not have the slightest idea of returning the Wukun sword, he also wanted to let Li Yang use this sword to achieve something. This is a truly broad-minded ambition.
Mr. Hong's eyes were full of sincerity, and he looked straight at Li Yang, even with a sense of longing.
He had sealed the sword long ago. If he had seen the Wu Kun Dao before sealing the sword, he might have tried his best to get the Wu Kun Dao back and hold the knife in his own hand, as Li Yang thought.
But he won't do that now. As a person with half of his body in a coffin, his thoughts are much broader. For him, this knife will have the greatest effect when it is placed in the hands of the right person.
.
Li Yang was about to become Chen Wuji's master. Chen Wuji used the knife carving method, but Li Yang got the Wukun knife at this time.
All of this was God's will in his eyes, that's why he said those words just now, hoping that Li Yang would not bury the reputation of the Kunwu sword and use this sword to create a glory again.
"Don't worry, I will definitely try my best!"
Li Yang slowly took the Wukun knife from Mr. Hong's hand, and a smile slowly appeared on Mr. Hong's face, a happy smile.
He seemed to see that another master of jade carving would appear in China in the future. This master would hold the Wukun Dao and create masterpieces one after another, making Chinese jade carving famous all over the world.
Chen Wuji also smiled. Li Yang's words were a promise. He believed that Li Yang would work harder in the future.
Mr. Song's smile was even brighter. It was an indisputable fact that Li Yang was from the north, and Li Yang had made great achievements in many aspects. It would be impossible for him to stay in the south forever in the future.
This means that if Li Yang can achieve success in his studies, he will definitely stay in the north, and a true successor of northern jade carving will appear.
Just because of this, Mr. Song secretly made up his mind to help Li Yang no matter what, and do his best to help him.
At this time, Li Yang had no idea that he already had high hopes placed on him by several seniors.
"Okay, it's almost two o'clock, Lao Chen, if you don't care about the food, can I go out to eat?"
Mr. Jade King Ma suddenly called out, Li Yang's flight was at ten o'clock, and Chen Wuji had been waiting for him without eating. When Jade King said this, several people felt their stomachs growling.
"Eat, go and eat right away, I'm treating you today!"
Mr. Hong immediately answered, he was very happy, really very happy. No matter whose jade carving Li Yang learned, as long as he used the Wukun knife, he would be inseparable from their Suzhou jade carving.
"Okay, I'll let you treat me today!"
Chen Wuji laughed. He understood Mr. Hong's feelings, and he didn't fight at this moment. It was just a meal, nothing.
Several people left the villa together. This meal was a treat for Mr. Hong, so naturally they had to go to the best restaurant.
When they came, these people were just curious about Li Yang. When they went out, the eyes of several people looked at him differently. It is no exaggeration to say that except for Mr. Qi, everyone else was very curious.
Think of Li Yang as a *** person.
Being valued by several top masters, if these words spread, it will definitely shock the entire jade carving world, and will also make countless people even more envious and jealous of Li Yang.
We had a great time having lunch, and all the seniors ate a lot.
After returning from lunch, several seniors went to take a lunch break, and Chen Wuji called Li Yang into the room to discuss the apprenticeship ceremony with him.
This is a real apprenticeship, so every step must not be taken carelessly and carefully.
However, under normal circumstances, there should be a dedicated person to instruct Li Yang on these matters, rather than having Chen Wuji personally come forward to discuss them.
Chen Wuji directly consulted with Li Yang, which shows how much he attaches importance to Li Yang.
After confirming all the details, Li Yang asked a few more Tai Chi questions, and Chen Wuji finally answered them for him.
Chen Wuji is even more satisfied with Li Yang's progress in Tai Chi. Li Yang is now practicing intermediate Tai Chi. The intermediate level is much more complicated and difficult than the elementary level. It is not like the elementary level where he just needs to hit that one point repeatedly.
Just use a boxing set.
Several of Li Yang's questions were on point. From these questions alone, Chen Wuji could tell that Li Yang had been practicing Tai Chi hard during this period and had never been lazy.
These questions also allowed Chen Wuji to understand Li Yang's progress. Compared with others, Li Yang's progress is absolutely amazing. Although there is still a long way to go before he reaches the advanced level, compared with ordinary people, Li Yang's
The speed is definitely a thousand miles faster.
Chen Wuji was naturally very happy about these. After explaining all the problems, he even went to the ring to punch Li Yang in person, so that Li Yang could have more understanding.
