The bet between Tiezhu and Master Liu was not only watched by Qin Yu and Zhuang Rui, but also attracted several other carving masters. After these masters learned what happened, they all stood aside and watched with interest.
Of course, they don't think that iron pillars can carve jade cabbage patterns. They just think of it as passing the time. This carving is a laborious and physical job. Working under the light for a long time will inevitably make you a little tired. What about iron pillars?
Just enough for them to have a little fun.
"This is scrap material. It's of no use. Just use this material to carve it."
On this table, there was a piece of jade with some cracks. Tie Zhu's hand wandered back and forth over the several carving knives on the table, and finally, he picked up the most cumbersome carving knife at once.
"To carve the cabbage pattern, you have to choose a thin knife. How can this little guy carve it with a heavy knife?"
Seeing Tank holding a heavy knife, several masters next to him shook their heads. What's more, they were not optimistic about the iron pillars. Heavy knives are usually used to carve thick lines, and cabbage patterns are divided into several layers. If you use a heavy knife,
Even they can't carve the cabbage pattern smoothly, let alone this child.
The moment Tiezhu held the heavy knife in his hand, Qin Yu raised his eyes, and a bright light appeared in his eyes. Zhuang Rui on the side also had a look of surprise in his eyes. The little guy held the heavy knife in his hand.
There was a subtle change in the person's aura. Concentration and confidence, these two temperaments that should not appear in children, showed up in Tie Zhu.
Tie Zhu held the knife in both hands and observed the jade material on the table for enough time to make a cup of tea before he started to use the knife. The first knife went down, but he heard the sound of "chi la ke bang" and a knife mark appeared on the
On top of jade material.
As soon as this knife mark appeared, the expressions of the masters who were watching changed. The force of this knife was beyond what a teenage child could do.
However, the shock only started now. Starting from the first cut, Tiezhu did not hesitate and continued to cut on the jade material. Each cut was of different shades. However, with just a few cuts, the pattern of the cabbage was outlined.
.
The three-layered cabbage pattern took a total of eleven knives. When Tiezhu put down the heavy knife, the masters who were watching were shocked and speechless. Although the cabbage pattern looked a bit rough, it reminded me of this child.
At such a young age, it is quite surprising that he can be carved like this with just a few knives.
"This is the sword technique of the Han Eight Swordsmen. The sword is precise and can be formed in just a few cuts. This is definitely the Eight Swordsman of the Han Dynasty."
A master carver couldn't help but exclaimed. His words made Master Liu in front of him turn his head curiously. As a result, when his eyes fell on the piece of jade on the table in front of Tiezhu, Master Liu
His expression was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes burst into light. He immediately put down the carving knife in his hand, left the table, and walked to Tie Zhu.
"The sword technique is vigorous, rough, powerful, and the patterns are clear and dark. These are indeed the characteristics of the Eight Swordsman of the Han Dynasty." Master Liu's eyes kept wandering on the knife marks carved on the iron pillars on the jade material, and finally he said slowly
.
"How do you know the carving skills of Han Ba Dao? Didn't you say that you have never touched jade carving before?" Master Liu turned his eyes to Tiezhu and asked.
However, Tiezhu didn't care about him at all at this time. He seemed to have fallen into a state of forgetfulness. After putting down the heavy knife, he picked up a long, sharp knife.
"A long pointed knife? Are you using a long pointed knife to carve incised lines?" A carving master couldn't help but said doubtfully when he saw Tie Zhu picking up the long and thin knife.
The heavy knife in front of the iron pillar only outlines a rough pattern of the cabbage, but if you want the cabbage to appear layered and three-dimensional, you need to inscribe it. The inscribed line is a professional term, and it actually means exactly what it is.
Relief is the opposite carving technique. The relief is convex outward, while the inscribed line is concave inward. The same can produce a three-dimensional sense of hierarchy.
Tie Zhu held the sharp knife in both hands and slowly began to cut into the shadow part of the pattern. However, unlike the previous drastic move with the heavy knife, the hands holding the sharp knife were shaking slightly.
"Tie Zhu, don't be impatient, take your time."
Seeing Tie Zhu's hands shaking, Qin Yu spoke to encourage him, but as soon as he finished speaking, Master Liu gave him a sharp shout: "Don't disturb him."
Qin Yu touched his nose after being shouted at by Master Liu. Zhuang Rui, who was on the side, was afraid that Qin Yu would be angry, so he explained: "Mr. Qin, kid Tiezhu's hands are shaking because he is not impatient. I have also learned carving for a while.
, I have learned some carving knife techniques, and the current movement of Tiezhu is very similar to the jumping knife carving knife technique unique to the Han Dynasty."
"The jumping knife technique?" Qin Yu turned his head and looked at Zhuang Rui with suspicious eyes.
"There was a carving knife technique in the Han Dynasty. The negative lines were as thin as hairsprings and were connected by many short lines. Although they were broken and continuous, the lines were still smooth. Some of the negative lines were set off by extremely fine circles. This knife technique was called jumping.
The knife actually uses the knife head to perform regular and intermittent carving by shaking it."
Zhuang Rui pointed at the knife in Tie Zhu's hand, "Look at Tie Zhu's tip. Although it is shaking, it is actually very regular. Mr. Qin, has Tie Zhu really never learned carving before?"
Zhuang Rui was a little curious. The Han Badao and Tiao Dao were both carving knife techniques from the Han Dynasty. Even ordinary carving masters couldn't do it. How could a teenager like this do it?
"Tie Zhu has never learned jade carving before." Qin Yu answered affirmatively. This was what Jiang Tingting told him. Jiang Tingting had been with Tie Zhu since childhood. If Tie Zhu learned jade carving, her sister Jiang Tingting would definitely notice it.
"That's strange. I haven't learned jade carving. How can I master this carving knife technique? Although the knife technique is a bit unfamiliar, it is undoubtedly the authentic Han Dynasty knife technique."
Zhuang Rui expressed his confusion, but Qin Yu's eyes rolled slightly, but he thought of another possibility. Tiezhu knew the swordsmanship of the Han Dynasty, and his nominal senior brother was not from the Han Dynasty.
The people after that, and the Jiang family is a family that makes jade instruments...
An idea came to Qin Yu's mind: the Jiang family, a magical family that has been making jade for generations.
"Bloodline talent!"
Qin Yu's eyes flashed brightly, but other than that, there was no other explanation that could explain what happened to Tiezhu at this time.
Bloodline talent, this is a very magical word. In the Zhuge Neijing, the introduction to this word is: the same clan has a special bloodline. This bloodline is in every generation of the family. Having the bloodline is equivalent to having something unique to the family.
special ability.
There are two types of bloodline talents, one is passively stimulated, and the other is actively stimulated. The so-called passive stimulation means that people with this bloodline will awaken their bloodline talents when they reach a certain age, while active stimulation is what needs to be met.
It can be stimulated by conditions or through guidance.
Some people may think that this sounds very mysterious, but in real society, there are many such examples. For example, the children of a pair of musicians will be more talented in singing than the average person. In addition to family education,
In addition, bloodline is also a very important factor.
In current scientific terms, this is called genetic inheritance. There are some special genes. Through inheritance, future generations can still maintain this special gene, and these special genes will bring them special abilities.
Of course, this is also a question of probability. Nowadays, many rich people have requirements for IQ and height when hiring wives. They think that the next generation born from such a combination will have a higher IQ than the average person. Facts have proved that in most cases,
This is indeed the case, but there are exceptions.
The situation in front of him is obvious. Tie Zhu inherited the Jiang family's special blood gene and began to slowly awaken. Judging from the current situation, at least this blood gene will be of great help to his carvings, but
Isn’t that the only effect? It needs to be tested by time.
While the iron pillar was carving the incised lines, everyone fell into silence. Qin Yu speculated in his heart, while Master Liu and other carving masters stared at the hand of the iron pillar that was cutting the knife for a moment, each of them
There were excited looks on their faces.
"Click..."
The last sound of the sharp knife scratching the jade material disappeared, and Tie Zhu finally stopped the knife. Before Tie Zhu could take a closer look at the carved cabbage, a pair of hands stretched out in front of his eyes and removed the jade material on the table.
It was taken away.
"Master Liu, what are you doing? Put it on the table and let's all appreciate it together. This is the first time I have seen this carving method of Han Ba Dao plus jumping knife."
"Yes, Master Liu, put your things down and let's take a look together."
After Master Liu took the jade material on the table, several other masters refused and spoke one after another.
"What's so good about it? My knife skills are still very clumsy, but I can barely pass the test. You can learn carving from me." Master Liu said pretending not to care.
"I won't learn from you."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Master Liu finished speaking, Tie Zhu's stubborn voice came out, and the little guy was still angry.
"Did you hear that, Master Liu? I don't want to accept you as my teacher. I see that you usually have a lot of work, and you probably don't have time to take care of your apprentices. I do have a lot of time, so please leave this child to me."
"Master Li, when do you have time? Don't you still have a landscape jade carving to complete? It will take at least half a year. You'd better learn from me. I don't have any big work on my hands recently."
Another master was unwilling. Originally, among them, Master Liu had the best carving skills, but Master Liu had previously looked down on him, and now his children were quite stubborn, so he didn't want to do it anymore.
Thinking of this, the eyes of these masters looking at Master Liu are a little weird, full of schadenfreude. This is definitely a good seedling. He will be able to use Han Ba Dao and Jump Dao in his teens. Although the techniques are a bit immature, as long as they are cultivated
, it is definitely no problem to become a master sculptor. (To be continued)
