Peng Fei came to the jade carving factory again and entered the workshop where Tie Zhu was located, only to find that Tie Zhu was still carving words on the stone tablet with a carving knife.
But this time, Peng Fei was surprised to find that just one night had passed, and Tiezhu's carving knife was actually able to carve words on the stone tablet. Although it seemed very difficult, at least it was done.
Peng Fei's eyes fell on the iron pot on the side again, but he sighed in his heart, no wonder today's society pays attention to fighting for the father. Having a good father can really save decades of struggle, and when it comes to Tiezhu, it means that there is
A good uncle can also save decades of struggle.
"Tiezhu, let's take a rest. We will rush to participate in the competition later." Peng Fei interrupted the iron pillar that he was concentrating on carving.
"Oh, Uncle Peng, wait a moment."
After Tiezhu carved the last word, he put down the carving knife in his hand. Then, he looked at the words he had carved on the stone tablet. His face finally showed a happy look, and with his right hand, he subconsciously squatted down next to him.
Take a bowl and drink the golden liquid inside in one gulp.
"Uncle Peng, we can set off." After putting down the bowl, Tie Zhu said to Peng Fei.
Peng Fei glanced at the bowl that Tiezhu had put down. He had just seen clearly that the liquid in this bowl was golden yellow. In other words, the liquid in this bowl was not the pot of medicinal liquid, but similarly, Peng Fei
Fei also knew that this must also be Mr. Qin's handiwork.
Since even the liquid medicine used for Tie Zhu to wash his hands was so precious, let alone the golden liquid used for Tie Zhu to drink.
Of course, Peng Fei didn't ask, because he was afraid that after asking, the result would make him as shocked as last night. You know, last night he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep well. As soon as he closed his eyes,
It reminds me of the scene where Mr. Qin kept throwing those precious medicinal materials into the iron pot.
With the iron pillar in hand, Peng Fei headed directly towards the competition venue. This time, the 100-to-10 competition was not held in an open square, but in a hotel.
When Peng Fei arrived at the hotel, Xu Rui and the others were already waiting at the door of the hotel. When Jiang Tingting saw Tie Zhu, she quickly stepped forward and pulled Tie Zhu, saying some words of advice.
"Where are the Qin brothers?" Yu Rui asked with some confusion when he found that only Peng Fei and Tie Zhu got out of the car.
"I don't know, I haven't seen Mr. Qin." Peng Fei answered truthfully.
"Brother Tiezhu, come on." Qiaoqiao waved her pink fist and shouted towards Tiezhu.
Zhou Wei, who was standing beside Qiaoqiao, smiled at Tiezhu with encouragement in his eyes. Only Liu Buyuan still had a cold face.
Qiaoqiao, Liu Buyuan, Tiezhu, Qian Duoduo and Zhou Wei, these five people are from the same generation. Except for Zhou Wei, who is slightly older, the other four are all within a few years of each other.
Perhaps even Qin Yu did not expect that ten years later, these five people would be full of grievances and entanglements. Of course, this is an afterthought and is not within the scope of this book.
"Tie Zhu, just keep a normal mind and perform steadily." Leng Rou also said from the side.
"Yeah." Tie Zhu nodded heavily, and then walked to the contestants' exclusive rest area, while Leng Rou and the others were led to the guest area by Peng Fei, while Qi Rui was sitting in the
On the judges' bench.
The second round of the top ten competitions of the Tiangong Cup Jade Sculpture Competition was much more difficult than the preliminary round. Not only did each contestant need to complete a jade sculpture within five hours, the most important thing was that the jade sculpture was still a semi-finished product.
Each contestant will go on stage to draw a number, and this number will have a corresponding semi-finished jade carving. All the contestants have to do is to complete the remaining carving work based on this semi-finished jade carving and carve out a finished jade carving.
.
The number Tie Zhu drew when he came on stage was 27. When Tie Zhu returned to his seat, a staff member had already come to Tie Zhu holding a tray covered with red cloth, and then lifted the red cloth to reveal the contents inside.
Semi-finished jade carving.
This is a square piece of jade, with only the upper half carved out, and this upper half is the head of a phoenix, which means that Tie Zhu's task today is to carve out the lower body of the phoenix.
Seeing the semi-finished jade carving on the iron pillar table, Yu Rui breathed a sigh of relief. The phoenix is a frequently carved pattern in carving. It is no exaggeration to say that almost all carvers know the phoenix and dragon by heart.
's two mythical beasts.
Yu Rui has been a judge for several Tiangong Cups. He knows that what he fears most in this second level is encountering some weird semi-finished jade carvings. He remembers that there was once a Tiangong Cup competition, and a popular contestant appeared here.
At the first level, he drew a very strange jade carving semi-finished product. The patterns carved on the jade carving were almost rare. The player didn't know how to start. In the end, he lost the qualification to become the top ten.
Of course, after the game, the provider of the finished jade carving was scolded by many people and even caused protests from many contestants. Since then, the organizer has not produced any more cold semi-finished products.
Jade carvings, however, even if there are not some cold jade carvings, there are still difficulties among a hundred jade carvings.
Therefore, luck sometimes plays a large role in this round.
It should also be noted that in the first and second rounds of the competition, the jade rough embryos were prepared by the organizer. What was tested was only the carving skills of the carving master. Otherwise, if you want to polish it, you will have to drill holes.
, if you even have to cut jade, those few hours will definitely be too late.
When the iron pillars were being carved, there was a man of about forty years old sitting in a row on the iron pillars, not far from the iron pillars. The semi-finished jade carving in front of the middle-aged man's table was a piece of longevity.
Lu.
The so-called Fu Shou Lu means that the upper half of the jade carving is Fu Shou Lu and the lower half is blank. In other words, the middle-aged man has to imagine what to carve on the lower half.
However, after the man looked at the jade carving for a while, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. The next moment, he raised his right hand and a carving knife appeared in his hand. At the moment when the carving knife appeared, the middle-aged man's
His expression suddenly became very serious, and his whole demeanor completely changed from before.
Swish, swish, swish!
The man's hands were very fast. At first, none of the guests or judges present paid attention. However, as time went by, some guests noticed this scene. Immediately, voices of surprise filled the guest seats one after another.
"Look at that player, look at his hands."
"where?"
"That's it, seventh in the sixth row."
As the guests discussed, more and more people looked at the contestant, and even the judges at the judges' table were alarmed.
"This is……"
Many judges on the judges' bench also became shocked. One of the judges' lips trembled a little, "What did I see? Is this the lost shadowless knife technique?"
In everyone's eyes, they could only see the middle-aged man's right hand turning into afterimages, shrouding the entire jade carving. The shadows of his hands flew around, and pieces of jade fragments flew out.
"Oh no, how did this person's hands achieve such speed? It's just like watching a movie." Mo Yongxing in the guest seat was also stunned to see how this person did it.
"Did you just hear what the judges said? This is called the Shadowless Knife Technique. I really wonder where I have heard of this carving knife technique." A guest at the guest seat fell into thinking about whether he could win the guest spot.
They are either relatives and friends of the contestants, people in the jade carving industry, or enthusiasts and collectors who are interested in jade carvings.
"The Shadowless Knife Technique was passed down by a jade carving master in the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was lost during the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, when carving with the Shadowless Knife Technique, only the shadow of the hand is visible but not the carving knife. Once the shadow of the hand disappears, it is
When the carving is complete.”
At the judges' table, a judge stared intently at the young man's hand shadow, but spoke slowly.
And just when everyone's eyes were focused on the middle-aged man, on the other side, a young man in his early twenties showed a trace of disdain on his face, and then turned his gaze away from the middle-aged man,
Looking at the jade carving in front of him, there was a carving knife as white as transparent jade in his hand.
The young man's way of holding the knife is also very strange. His thumb and middle finger hold the carving knife, while his index finger presses on the carving knife and carefully carves the jade carving in his hand.
"Who recommended that player?" Everyone at the judges' table was discussing the origin of the middle-aged man.
Yu Rui listened to the discussion of the judges around him, but his expression became a little serious. With this middle-aged man showing off his skills, I am afraid that the first place this time will be decided in advance, but fortunately, he just let
Tiezhu strives for the top three.
In the second round of the competition, the middle-aged man dominated the limelight, while all the other contestants were eclipsed. Everyone was discussing the young man's identity and the shadowless sword technique.
After the competition, all the players left the field. Peng Fei also took Jiang Tingting and the others to wait for Tie Zhu in the hotel. However, after waiting for a long time, Tie Zhu did not come out.
"Peng Fei, don't wait any longer. Tie Zhu was taken away by Brother Qin. Brother Qin just came here and left in a hurry with Tie Zhu." Xu Rui walked out of the hotel and said to Peng Fei and others.
.
"Uncle Master took Tiezhu away?" Jiang Tingting was a little surprised. What exactly did Uncle Master want to do mysteriously?
Yu Rui spread his hands and said that he didn't know either.
"Peng Fei, you take Mr. Mo and the others to dinner. I have to be with the judges at noon, and I have to score the contestants' jade carvings in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you all."
"Well, Brother Zhuang, you don't need to accompany us." Mo Yongxing nodded, and then, he and Peng Fei led everyone towards a nearby restaurant. (To be continued)
