Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 116
Du Chongyang stayed in the room for three full days.

Tea does not think about food and does not want to.

During the period, I just made a phone call to arrange the matter of "paying money", and then it was like sitting on a dead end, comprehending this piece of porcelain.

Qin Luo sent him a few meals, and he ate them too, but obviously he didn't know how to eat them, so he hurriedly filled his stomach.

His hair was greasy, his face was not washed, the stubble came out, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Originally black hair, in just two or three days, the temples became mottled.

His state...

Instead, Qin Luo felt a little appreciation in his heart.

Because, people have no addictions, so you can't make friends with them.

"Why, aren't you ready to implement your retirement plan?"

At noon on the fourth day, when Qin Luo delivered the meal, he couldn't help asking with a smile.

Du Chongyang raised his head blankly and stared blankly at Qin Luo, then he just woke up like a dream, heaved a long sigh, and smiled wryly.

"I can't go back."

"me……"

He faltered and said, it was difficult to speak for a while, took a deep breath again, stood up suddenly, but stared at the stars, staggered, and quickly supported the table.

"I want to learn... can you teach me?"

His voice was hoarse, but he asked extremely seriously.

Qin Luo: ...

"Can't teach."

"I only teach people the truth, not the false."

Qin Luo said calmly.

It looks full of style.

In fact... I don't have such a thing as the trace of time.

Du Chongyang was silent for a moment, nodded, and smiled sadly: "That's fine. That's fine..."

He shook his clothes, then suddenly fell to his knees and knelt down.

It turned out to be a big kowtow.

Qin Luo was stunned.

"Master, please teach me the truth."

There was a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had suddenly gained some kind of relief, with a certain sense of freedom.

Qin Luo: Uh.

"Why are you doing this? Financial freedom, whether it's spending time and drinking, or traveling in mountains and rivers, wouldn't it be happier?"

Du Chongyang raised his head and grinned.

"I didn't have a choice before, but now, I just want to be a good person."

Qin Luo couldn't help laughing.

wonderful.

He reached out to help him up: "Don't shorten my life, let's study together, and you don't need to ask a teacher."

Du Chongyang was silent for more than ten seconds, then nodded slightly.

"it is good."

"I will build an art gallery for you. I will use this treasure as the treasure of the town hall. I will invite experts from all over the world to come and observe it with my own eyes. Then I will see them dumbfounded and completely stunned. Thinking about it, it is extraordinarily special. interesting."

He fell out of his old ways and became "frivolous" again.

However, many things are just so wonderful.

It's all based on one thought.

Qin Luo couldn't help laughing.

"As you like."

……

after one day.

Qin Luo received a call from Zhang Zhengde.

"Brother Luo, you're crazy! They're all crazy!"

"Hmm. Who's crazy?"

Qin Luo was surprised.

"Collectors and experts in the capital are all crazy for the Marco Polo's fan lotus vase."

"Du Chongyang is crazy too, he returned 500 million to me!"

Zhang Zhengde said in shock.

When Qin Luo heard this, he smiled and said, "Just be happy."

hang up the phone.

Qin Luo couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

at this time.

I only think of the five dimensions of the ancients' evaluation of porcelain.

Clean as gelatin.

The sound is like gold and stone.

It is as shiny as jade.

Clear and transparent.

Various poses.

For a while, some rather subtle fits arose in my heart.

……

Three days later.

late at night.

Qin Luo's consciousness sank into the system space.

Look at your next task.

[Mission No. 007: Wuzhong's stunt]

[Famous jade carving master Lu Zigang, during the Jiajing period, was famous in the government and the public for his skill in grinding jade. He was known as Wuzhong's unique skill, and the jade he made was called Zigang jade by later generations.In the Qing Dynasty, he was revered as the patriarch of the jade industry.Lu Zigang carved jade with a knife, and Zigang died, and the skill was not passed on. 】

[Task Requirement: Reappear Zigang Yu]

[Task Reward: A Portable Jade]

Since finishing the task of porcelain, this task has been revealed, but the matter of porcelain has not been completely settled, Qin Luo waited patiently until now.

Zi Gangyu.

Lu Zigang, there really is no one before, and no one to come after.

A myth in the history of jade.

His status is roughly similar to Li Bai in the poetry world.

Personal style is too strong, completely crushing an era, leaving future generations unmatched.

Legend has it that Emperor Ming Muzong Zhu Zaihou heard that Lu Zigang was a master of jade carving, so he ordered him to carve pictures of hundreds of horses on jade ring fingers.

He was not stumped, and it took only a few days to complete it. On the small jade finger, he carved an atmosphere of mountains and mountains, and a city gate that opened wide.

As for the horses, only three were carved.

A horse gallops through the city.

A horse is galloping towards the city gate.

A horse just emerged from the valley...

Just this, but it gives people the feeling that there are countless horses hidden, and they are about to come out.

It is wonderful to express the meaning of Baijun in a virtual way.

Since then, his jade carvings have become royal patents.

And then……

He is famous all over the world and has created many excellent works.

Jade narcissus hairpin, sapphire baby play pot, sapphire landscape figure square box...etc.

They are all hidden in the Forbidden City.

When he was alive, his jade carvings were already on a par with Tang Bohu's pictures of ladies.

Wait until old age...

"Mudu Town Records" records: "Lu Zigang, who was not yet sixty years old, became a monk and did not enter the city for more than ten years..."

He saw through the world of mortals and fled into Buddhism, so his skills were lost.

However, Qin Luo checked the classics these days, but he restored a poignant story related to love.

-

When Lu Zigang was a teenager, he fell in love with "Jin'er", the daughter of a well-known luthier at that time.

Childhood sweethearts, talented and beautiful, in eachother, the relationship between the two has grown with the years.

But things didn't go as expected, Jin'er was about to reach the marriageable age, but Jin'er was favored by the eunuch sent by the palace to choose a happy girl, and was about to be sent to the capital the next day, but Jin'er had to leave, and hurriedly wrote "" Keep it like jade in this life, and wait for the king to carve it in the next life", and left with tears.

When Lu Zigang heard the news that Jin'er had been elected to Beijing, he rushed to Jin'er's house like a bolt from the blue, but he couldn't find his lover, but only saw a message.

All thoughts are gone, I miss him day and night, and I can no longer study with peace of mind.

He gave up the easy life of a rich son, went to Suzhou, and became an apprentice jade craftsman, pouring his unforgettable love for Jin'er into jade carving.

Maybe it was talent, maybe it was hard work, and soon Lu Zigang became a well-known jade master.

But he has a stubborn personality. Even if the jade pieces selected by the manufacturing office are sent to the court, they insist on engraving the name "Zigang" or "Zigang Zhi".

Everyone in the know knows that the infatuated Lu Zigang hopes that his name will be seen by Jin'er in the palace.

Because of Lu Zigang's outstanding skills and unparalleled skills in the world, the emperor also acquiesced in his act of engraving his name on his works, and invited him to Beijing to make imperial articles for the royal family.

Lu Zigang was overjoyed, thinking that it would be easier to see Jin'er when he arrived in the capital.

After entering the palace, Lu Zigang took every opportunity to inquire about Jin'er's situation. One day, while chatting with several eunuchs, he heard that the girls who came from the south of the Yangtze River had passed away one after another due to acclimatization.

After hearing this, Lu Zigang burst into tears immediately.

Later, Lu Zigang resigned from his job in the manufacturing office with an excuse, and returned to his hometown, with all the love and nostalgia for Jin'er, and remained unmarried all his life.

Suddenly one day, Zigang received a letter from his former lover "Jin'er".

It turned out that Jin'er was abandoned outside the palace after being seriously ill due to acclimatization, but happened to be fatal and was rescued.

Although she saved her life, she lost her face. She didn't want Zigang to see her ugly appearance. The letter was just to say that she was safe, and she vowed that she would never see her again.

From then on, Lu Zigang never showed up in his jade carving workshop again.

Even the apprentices in his workshop did not know his whereabouts.

There is a record in the local chronicles of Suzhou and Hangzhou: Lu Zigang, who was not yet [-] years old, suddenly had a strange meaning. He was a monk who ruled the Ping Temple for more than ten years, and he did not enter the city.

this story...

Qin Luo watched with concern.

Porcelain making is the same, and so is jade carving.

After all, none of the ancient artists had a good end?

However, after thinking about it, maybe it is because, only when you are extremely emotional, can you be extremely Taoist.

Tragedy makes an artist.

Qin Luo couldn't help but think of that line——

This is love!
