Chapter 520: The most famous craftsman in the world
Although this guy has a bad attitude.
But Li Chengqian didn't take it to heart.
Instead, he continued to express his thanks politely: "Thank you, brother."
After saying this, he said no more and continued to look at the stage.
As the gong rang, the competition between the two parties officially began.
First of all, what emerged from the gray clothes was a bird made of wood. .??.
When I saw this wooden bird, I heard a sound of exclamation from the people around me.
"Is this...is this the long-lost flying bird?"
"It looks like it is, but I don't know how well it can be restored, and whether it can really fly in the sky all night without falling."
After hearing what these people were talking about, Hou Junji, who knew nothing about these things, was filled with doubts.
He turned to look at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, what are these people talking about..."
"Wooden bird."
"Master Lu Ban's famous work."
"I think back then he became famous all over the world with his ability to make wooden birds fly into the sky."
"As time goes by, the method of making wooden birds has been lost in the long river of history."
"For many years, countless craftsmen have worked hard on it, but no one has been able to restore this wooden bird."
Li Chengqian looked at the stage, rubbed his chin and said: "I just don't know how much this person can restore, and whether he can really be like Master Lu Ban..."
After all, even in later generations, very few people can restore the flying wooden bird according to ancient methods.
Li Chengqian also tried many times in his previous life, but all ended in failure.
He really wanted to see it today too.
Are the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty stronger than those of later generations?
Is it possible to restore this flying wooden bird?
Hou Junji on the side also showed a clear expression after hearing Li Chengqian's explanation.
"It turns out that this wooden bird actually has so many things to say, and he has learned a lot..."
And while the two of them were talking, the demonstration had already begun on the stage. The guy in gray clothes took two steps forward, and then threw the wooden bird into the sky.
At that moment, the wooden bird flew into the sky.
I saw the wooden bird's wings flapping, and it actually soared in the sky like a living bird, circling around the venue.
Seeing this scene, there was an exclamation of exclamation from all around.
"Oh my God, this...is this really Luban's flying bird..."
"I heard that the Luban bird can fly in the sky for three days. At first, I just thought it was a legend, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it really feels like a dream."
The craftsmen around him were stunned by this miraculous skill.
After all, the craftsmanship of this era is limited, so in their eyes, such things can already be regarded as miracles.
The craftsman in gray clothes also had a proud look on his face at this moment.
That expression seems to be saying, what about it, my craftsmanship is enough to win the first prize, right?
Hou Junji below couldn't help but said: "My dear, there are actually wooden birds that can soar in the sky in this world. This is so amazing..."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, why don't we take this man back to Chang'an..."
"hold on."
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and said, "Look at the others."
Hearing this, Hou Junji was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Highness, can't this be considered a masterpiece?"
"Looking back, I'm afraid there will be no one better than him."
"Absolutely not."
Li Chengqian said it very confidently.
At first, he thought the Luban bird production process was complicated.
But now it seems that he couldn't do it at the beginning because he was just limited by his inertial thinking.
If he could open his mind, it would not be difficult for him to make this Luban bird.
And of course, now that he has seen with his own eyes how the Luban Bird works, he can of course understand it in an instant.
It turns out that this thing is actually so simple.
It's nothing more than a small kinetic energy conversion.
The wooden bird uses the wind to blow its paper wings. When the wings are raised upward, it will pull the elastic cord on the central axis of the wooden bird. When the elastic cord tightens, it will pull the wooden bird's wings down.
As the wooden bird's paper wings move up and down, and a paper swallowtail is used to maintain balance, the wooden bird will naturally fly into the sky.
Although the craftsmanship of this wooden bird can amaze people of this era.
But compared with the technology of Li Chengqian's time, this is a bit childish.
Moreover, this person is far from the standard of craftsman in Li Chengqian's mind.
Now, his purpose is very clear, which is to select one or two top figures among these craftsmen.
In front of those complicated machines, this wooden bird seems a bit like a toy.
If he wanted to make these toys, Li Chengqian didn't have to go all the way to this place.
But he also knows that now that this wooden bird is shown first, there will definitely be a better one as the finale.
In this case, he also has the patience to continue waiting.
However, what came next really made him a little disappointed.
What these guys on the field displayed were a bunch of bamboo carvings, bamboo carvings, and some wood carvings, wood carvings and other handicrafts.
There is no skill at all, let alone any ingenuity.
At that moment, Li Chengqian had some doubts as to whether these guys in front of him were the real descendants of the Lu Ban family and the Moh family.
Doesn’t it mean that their skills are superb and unstoppable?
So what are all the things on display now?
Except for the wooden bird, the rest are just a bunch of ornaments and ornaments... Just when Li Chengqian was filled with disappointment and was about to leave with Hou Junji.
Suddenly, a loud laugh was heard: "Now, all cats and dogs dare to stand up and say that they are descendants of the Lu Ban family and the Mo family."
"What kind of bullshit is this? It's not as technical as the map my son drew on the wooden bed last night. You should leave quickly and don't make people laugh."
When I said this, I took it seriously as a curse.
The craftsmen present, as well as the descendants of the Mohist and Luban families on the stage, all looked in the direction of the sound at this moment.
I saw a man in a green shirt with several patches standing in the crowd.
This guy has an ordinary face, he doesn't have the slightest hint of being a worldly expert, he just looks like an ordinary person.
And the way this man was picking his nose while talking was really disgusting to see.
However, after this person appeared, the scene became surprisingly quiet.
All eyes are focused on this guy.
There were surprises and anger in these looks, but most of them were surprises.
To be honest, Li Chengqian was a little confused.
Logically speaking, if this guy suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation, shouldn't he be beaten to death?
Why do these people show such expressions of admiration?
One of them said with astonishment on his face: "Look at this dress, look at this appearance, could this be the legendary Zhu Guang, the most famous craftsman in the world..."
"If you can't get rid of it, this person is Master Zhu."
"Three years ago, I had a chance encounter with Master Zhu. He even gave me a lot of advice. It's just that I was in a hurry and didn't have time to become a disciple..."
When he spoke, the man was proud, as if he was now the disciple of the man in front of him.
But Li Chengqian on the side was even more confused.
