The white-haired old man, who was called Mr. Chen by everyone, thought of the Duanmuhui contestant's work that he saw yesterday, and suddenly a look of expectation appeared on his face, and then he said softly: "Perhaps, our jade carving world will have another breakthrough."
A grandmaster is about to emerge."
Mr. Chen's words shocked all the judges around him, including Yu Rui, who was sitting next to Mr. Chen.
You must know that it is easy to get started in the jade carving industry, but it is very difficult to achieve success. Many people have been carving for a lifetime, but at most they are just a craftsman and cannot reach the level of a master.
To be blunt, even though these judges will be called masters when they go out, of course, those judges who are bosses of the jade industry are not included in this category.
But only they know in their hearts that none of them are actually masters. Only a few can be called masters, and they are, at best, just craftsmen.
The biggest difference between a master craftsman and a master is that the charm of the carved jade carvings is lucky but not divine. It just depends on the carving skills. No matter how high the skill is, he is still just a craftsman.
Only when the jade carvings are carved with both form and spirit can one be considered a master.
And above the master, there is the grandmaster!
However, in the entire jade carving world, there is only one remaining master, and that is the master in front of me, Mr. Chen. He is the founder of the sect, and each of his works has its own characteristics.
Almost every master's work is handed down from generation to generation. Almost all jade carvers want to become a master, but only they know how difficult it is to become a master.
Mr. Chen is now eighty years old, but even Mr. Chen only became a master when he was seventy-two years old. That year, Mr. Chen was asked by his friends to carve a jade article, but no one cared about it.
What I thought was that when carving this jade, Mr. Chen actually made a breakthrough. That jade became a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, and Mr. Chen also relied on that jade to become a master.
However, Mr. Chen is old after all. He became a master at the age of seventy-two. After carving his own masterpiece, he can no longer carve it. His body cannot keep up. A generation of masters only have one.
It is a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation. I have to say that this is the tragedy of a master and the tragedy of the jade carving world.
However, Mr. Chen himself did not think so much. Mr. Chen was very open-minded and could not use the knife. However, he put more thoughts on cultivating future generations. These future generations are not just his disciples, but
He is a descendant of the entire jade carving world.
As long as it is a jade carving competition that has a certain influence in the country, Mr. Chen will participate as a referee. As long as there is a competition in which Mr. Chen participates, all the contestants will know about it, so there is no need to worry about a shady incident, because Mr. Chen will never allow this.
situation arises.
At 8:45, the staff had set up tables, chairs and a series of tools on the grass in the center of the empty gymnasium. In this last round of competition, the contestants were required to make a complete jade carving work, which naturally included polishing.
Grinding, so it includes everything from grinding to electric drills and the like.
Therefore, this last round of finals will take a long time, from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon, a total of seven hours, and the hour from four to five is when the judges score and announce the results.
At 8:50, Jiang Tingting finally saw her younger brother in the contestant column. Her younger brother had a very firm expression. Although he was the youngest among the ten contestants, he stood there without any stage fright.
When she thought of this, there was a mist in Jiang Tingting's eyes, and she whispered softly to herself: "Dad, Mom, you can see that Tiezhu has finally grown up, and his shoulders are already wider than mine.
Already."
When Tiezhu arrived at the contestant area, Qin Yu also came to the auditorium. Peng Fei had already reserved a seat for Qin Yu.
Seeing Qin Yu's arrival, Mo Yongxing was the first to ask: "Qin Yu, what kind of special training did you give Tiezhu? It's so mysterious, but I haven't heard that temporary training is really
can be effective.”
When Mo Yongxing said this, he just said what he was thinking, but he regretted it after he said it, because he caught a glimpse of Jiang Tingting sitting next to him, whose expression turned a little gloomy, and he quickly changed his words and said: "Of course
, this would definitely not be possible if it were anyone else, but Qin Yu, you still have some skills and will never do useless things. In addition, Tiezhu people are smart and have a good foundation, so you can definitely achieve good results."
After saying this, Mo Yongxing muttered in his heart that he only said that he had achieved good results, but he did not say how many places he got. Even if Tiezhu ranked ninth, he could still say that at least Tiezhu was not the worst.
.
Thinking of this, Mo Yongxing admired his own wit, and laughed secretly there. However, this smile looked like a silly smile in Qin Yu's eyes.
Qin Yu ignored Qin Yu and sat down directly in the seat left for him by Peng Fei. At this time, the finals of the Tiangong Cup Jade Sculpture Competition officially began.
Above the stadium, there is a floating four-sided display screen. These four screens will broadcast the carvings of the players for a while. In comparison, the stadium is so big that people sitting in the back cannot see what is happening on the field.
, can only be seen through this big screen.
In addition, many media reporters set up cameras around the venue. The Tiangong Cup Jade Carving Competition is very influential in the domestic jade industry. This time, no less than 30 media came to report on it.
But if you look closely, you will find that these media outlets all have one characteristic, that is, the cameras are all focused on the location of a certain contestant, and that contestant is Yan Song.
The sword skills that Yan Song showed yesterday have already been completely spread out. Most of these media are here for Yan Song. After all, the shadowless sword skills, which look like special effects,
It will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Nine o'clock sharp!
The ten people in Tiezhu sat on the table. Beside them, there were many jade stones, including jadeite, Qingtian jade, Hetian jade, and even chicken blood stone... In short, almost all the jade stones in the country were included.
type.
Moreover, these jade stones are also of high quality, and each piece is valuable. These are provided by the organizer for the contestants to choose and use. Of course, the organizer is not without benefits. The jade carvings carved by these contestants are
Everything belongs to the organizer, but the organizer will also provide each contestant with an engraving fee, which is considered a win-win situation for cooperation.
For a jade carving, you need to design it first, then choose the raw materials, and then cut it. Cut the raw stone into the size of the jade carving you want to design, and then start carving.
This competition is also very simple. Each contestant carves a jade carving of his own. There are no restrictions on types or themes.
Therefore, the design step can almost be skipped. Everyone present has already thought about what to carve in their minds. Therefore, as soon as the time started, the sound of cutting machines cutting jade could be heard throughout the playground.
However, there were three people on the field who did not use the cutting machine, namely Yan Song, Duanmu Hui and Tie Zhu.
The actions of the three Tiezhu people also aroused the curiosity of the audience. These three people would not be so stubborn. They had not thought about what they wanted to carve before, right? Now they are imagining it temporarily?
"I understand, Master Yan Songyan has the shadowless knife technique, and his carving is faster than others, so he doesn't need to be in such a hurry."
"I understand what you said, but why don't the other two players take action?"
"The two of them look so young, especially the one who looks younger than he is. They have broken into the top ten at such a young age. Their future is limitless."
"Brother, you think these two have never participated in such a big game before, so they are scared."
As soon as this voice came out, many in the audience showed their approval. This explanation was quite reasonable.
"Uncle Qin, what happened to Tiezhu? Why didn't he take action yet?" Jiang Tingting listened to the discussion of the crowd and asked Qin Yu anxiously.
"Don't be in a hurry, you'll know after you wait." Qin Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stared at Tie Zhu. Although he was confident in what he said, in fact, he himself didn't know what Tie Zhu was doing.
Tie Zhu had received the blood inheritance of the Jiang family, and he had not asked what exactly he had received, but he believed that Tie Zhu had his own reasons for doing this, and all he had to do was watch quietly.
On the field, Yan Song also saw Tiezhu and Duanmu Hui. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he showed disdain. These two young people didn't even do anything. Could it be that they also wanted to imitate him, but he was
There was the Shadowless Sword Technique, so I deliberately delayed it for a while to show my uniqueness.
Yan Song had already misjudged the winner of this competition. He had seen all the ten jade carvings last night, and there was still a gap between the other nine and his. What's more, that
Or he hid his strength.
In the last round of the jade carving competition, this kind of competition requires a race against time, because it is to complete a finished jade carving work. Seven hours is not a long time. However, half an hour has passed, and Yan Song and the others still have nothing.
Do it, just sit there quietly.
The crowd watching the competition became commotion because of the strangeness of these three people. Even the judges on the judges' bench were whispering. The media were even more furious. They secretly cursed Yan Song in their hearts. They were here to film the Shadowless Knife Technique.
Yes, Yan Song sat here without moving for half an hour, wasting how much tape they had.
"Hmph, I won't keep dragging it on with you two silly boys. You won't be able to finish the work in a while. Let's see if you can still laugh."
An hour later, Yan Song finally couldn't sit still anymore, squatted down and picked out the jade, and then started cutting.
Duanmu looked back at Yan Song starting to work, with the corner of his mouth raised slightly. Yan Song, he didn't take it seriously. This time he participated in the competition, he just wanted to announce something.
However, when Duanmu Hui found that the iron pillar behind him was still sitting there, staring blankly in a certain direction, his expression couldn't help but froze, and he murmured in his heart, "This kid can't be really scared.
