The Best Cultivation Master in the City

Chapter 152 Carving
"cause and effect?"

The simple words changed the expression on Ye Tiannan's face. He thought it was just an ordinary fight, but he didn't expect that Sun Xiaobao would say the word cause and effect. The existence of taboo.

There are two types of cause and effect, good cause and evil cause. Now what Sun Xiaobao said is not as simple as good cause.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tiannan said: "Don't worry, brother Sun, I will definitely restrain the disciples." Speaking of this indifferent look at Ye Liangchen, Ye Liangchen felt almost suffocated with just one look, he knew After returning, he will definitely be severely punished by the family law.

"Brother Sun, there are many people here, how about we talk in another place?" Ye Tiannan looked at Sun Xiaobao with a smile on his face.

"Alright!" Sun Xiaobao nodded, then said something to Qi Zhenzhen, and finally followed Ye Tiannan, his grandson, and Kong Sheng to a private room downstairs.

"How long will Brother Sun stay in the provincial capital this time?" Ye Tiannan asked with a smile.

Sun Xiaobao: "I don't know, I should stay for a while."

Ye Tiannan hesitated for a while, and said: "Then what, there will be a party in March Red in three days, I wonder if Brother Zhao has time to come to attend?"

"What kind of party?" Sun Xiaobao couldn't help asking.

Ye Tiannan: "The gathering among practitioners, this gathering not only includes people from the six major families, but also some casual cultivators. Of course, there is also an auction. Brother Sun, if you have time, you can come and have a look. You can use it baby."

"Okay!" If it were an ordinary gathering, Sun Xiaobao would definitely not be interested, but he would still be very interested in gatherings among cultivators, especially exchanges between cultivators. This kind of activity is very popular even in the realm of comprehension.After all, some things you may not need, but others can use.

After that, Sun Xiaobao and Qi Zhenzhen left Emgrand KTV. He originally wanted to pretend to be Qi Zhenzhen's boyfriend, but no one knew that it would cause so many things in the future.

After returning to Qi's house, it was already 10:30 in the evening. After taking a shower, Sun Xiaobao returned to his guest room. Although he said he drank a lot of wine before, he didn't feel drunk at all. He planned to take advantage of these few days in the provincial capital to call out this piece of jade in the rough.

The large cut surface of the millstone looks very smooth, and there are several different colors inside, besides, there are cracks.In Hetian jade, cracks are the most important factor affecting quality, and the number of cracks will directly affect the price.However, most Hetian jades have more or less cracks, which is also one of the characteristics of Hetian jade, as long as it is not too obvious, it will not affect anything.

But the piece of raw jade in front of Sun Xiaobao had too many cracks, unless the uncracked parts were cut off to make pendants and rings, it would be worthless if sold as a whole, carving is definitely the best choice.

"Carve what?"

Sun Xiaobao quietly looked at this piece of uncut jade. In fact, he planned to carve a piece of Eight Immortals crossing the sea, but finally gave up on this idea.After all, he plans to give the carved thing to Wang Su's father, even if he carved the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the other party may not like it.

In fact, the color of this piece of uncut jade has limited his imagination, which is like drawing on a blank piece of paper, where he can develop as he pleases.But if you put some stains and restrictions on the white paper, it will not be so simple. You must also integrate the stains on the paper, which will greatly increase the difficulty of creation.

This is true for ordinary creation, let alone sculpture.

In his previous life, Sun Xiaobao liked sculpture very much, because it not only improves his spiritual power, but also a process of turning decay into magic, especially when he creates good works, he has an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

"Would you like to carve a picture of eight steeds?" Sun Xiaobao's eyes lit up.

The painting of eight horses is the work of Xu Beihong, a famous modern calligrapher and painter. This painting takes the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou as the theme. In the painting, the eight horses are in different shapes, elegant and agile, and vivid. It is a rare treasure.

"This theme is good, Wang Su's father should like it."

The horse has a very high status in the culture of the Chinese nation and has a series of symbols and meanings.It is synonymous with vigorous, bright, warm, high, rising, plump, prosperous and developed.

Ordinary people like horses, not to mention that Wang Su's father is still working in the government, so it must be very appropriate to give him a picture of eight steeds.

After thinking about the subject matter, Sun Xiaobao began to sculpt.

Jade carving is divided into four steps. First, jade examination. To put it bluntly, it is based on observing the appearance, shape, color, quality and cracks of jade, and then conceiving and designing according to the size, color, texture and texture of jade.

Now that Sun Xiaobao has an idea, the next step is the second step, which is called modeling. To put it bluntly, it is to use a pen to draw the image of a person or animal on the jade in detail. This is an important process from virtual to real. It is also the key to jade carving creation.

Horses may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but they are not unfamiliar to Sun Xiaobao, because there are too many species in the cultivation world that do not exist on earth, even dragon horses have been fed by him, so he has already kept the shape and appearance of horses in mind.It may take a long time for others to create a shape, but it took him less than an hour to design the posture of eight horses, and each one looks majestic.

Yes, Sun Xiaobao did not copy the original version of Xu Beihong's Eight Horses, he felt that it was too untechnical.It's not that he feels that Xu Beihong's works are not good, but that his own works can be better in his opinion.

The third step is to shape the shape. From this step, it is necessary to carve the uncut jade.To put it bluntly, it is rough carving, which means gradually turning jade into a three-dimensional sculpture through technical means such as guillotine, chisel, marking, buckling, scratching, punching, rolling, and drilling.However, this is only a semi-finished product, and the next step of processing is needed, which is the fourth step of vividness.

To put it simply, expressiveness is to carry out fine decoration to make the jade carving works more vivid and expressive.Specifically, the detailed parts of the jade that can show the charm, such as the facial expressions, eyes, clothing patterns of the characters, the eyes, hair, claw tips, and beaks of animals and birds; the stems and leaves of flowers and plants are vividly depicted.

Vividness is like the finishing touch that people often say, no matter how ingenious and realistic your previous design is, if the skill is not enough, it will be a waste product.The reason why many people fail to carve good works is that something goes wrong here, so that months of painstaking efforts fall short.

Yes, for ordinary people, a piece of jade carving can take three to five months to break, and it can take a year or two, but what does it matter to Brother Xiaobao?
Three days, three days is enough!
