I am the only one who can do it: I think I am really going to become an immortal

However, it seemed that he had not had time to change his lower body, and it was still in the same flowery shorts as when he opened the door.

Obviously, Bai Shi was a little anxious to come out and reply to Chen Yun.

He sat on the sofa pretending to be calm, puffed out his chest towards Chen Yun, as if everything was self-explanatory.

Chen Yun smiled and tilted his head in an uncooperative manner, pretending to be confused.

This made Bai Shi's eyes widen in anxiety, and then he quickly stood up and pointed at the half-carved plaster statue in the middle of the living room, and then pointed at himself.

The meaning is self-evident.

"You mean..."

"Are you the world's top carving master?"

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, his tone deliberately full of doubt.

This made Bai Shi so angry that he was fuming.

He quickly sat down in front of Chen Yun with a small stool in his hand and said seriously, "Who in the world doesn't know my name? Everyone says that I have a pair of magician's hands and a heart that can see through the essence of everything! Let me tell you..."

Next.

Bai Shi began his long speech.

In Florence, Italy, he stood in front of Michelangelo's David and carefully studied every muscle line and detail of expression, trying to replicate this classic in marble while adding subtle modern aesthetic changes.

At the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, he tried to replicate the damaged sculptures using plaster, reinterpreting the beauty of antiquity through the perspective of art restoration.

In India, at the Ajanta Caves and Ellora Caves, he studied how to convey the deep tranquility and sacredness of the soul through stone carving art, and experimented with incorporating the characteristics of classical Indian Buddhist sculptures and contemporary minimalist concepts into wood carving creations, creating Buddhist statues that are both traditional and innovative.

In Kyoto, Japan, he focused on learning the delicate art of wood carving, creating small sculptures that embody both Zen and personal style.

His trip to Africa exposed him to primitive and powerful sculptures, especially the bronzes of Benin and the Dogon sculptures of Mali. He tried to use local materials such as soapstone or wood to create sculptures that reflect the spirit of African tribal culture while maintaining his personal style. These works often emphasize natural forms and the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.

In Mexico, influenced by Mayan and Aztec civilizations, he tried to carve symbolic totem poles or statues of gods out of stone, while incorporating modern design concepts.

In the southwestern part of the Lighthouse State, the clay sculptures of the Navajo and Hopi people inspired him to explore new materials of clay, and he has created works that have both traditional charm and modern feel.

In New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, he was attracted by the Maori wood carving art and learned how to tell stories and pass on history on wood. The sculptures he created not only reflect his awe of nature, but also incorporate modern thinking on environmental protection, using art to call for the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.

Although his real name seems to have never appeared, and he has never left any trace in various media, Shiraishi has indeed completed many sculptures full of artistic attainments.

If it weren't for the fact that his main purpose in these places was to quietly take something away, he would have decided to stay and become a real artist during a certain sculpture.

"So, it's not too much to call myself a modern Michelangelo, right? I'm good at sculptures made of marble, plaster, wood, etc., and they're all absolutely world-class."

Bai Shi finished this long speech.

Feeling a little thirsty, he picked up the water on the table and started drinking.

Obviously, he, who has always been regarded by the outside world as a top master of theft and art imitator, also urgently wants to be regarded by his friends as a real artist, not a poor imitator.

This is probably very important to him.

Chen Yun looked at Bai Shi, who was eager to prove that he was the world's top sculptor, and stopped joking and teasing him.

"So, can you teach me how to carve?"

Chen Yun stopped teasing and got straight to the point.

That was why he was here this morning.

"You want to learn sculpture again? You can learn it..."

Bai Shi raised an eyebrow in confusion, but swallowed his words before he could finish.

When thinking of Chen Yun's amazing learning ability when learning signal modulation and demodulation, Bai Shi suddenly felt that learning sculpture was not a burden at all?

A moment of silence.

“Carving is an ancient and sophisticated art that involves a variety of materials and techniques,” Shiraishi said. “Whether it’s wood carving, stone carving, ice carving or carving in other materials, there are some basic techniques and principles that are common.”

“Study the properties of your chosen material, such as hardness, texture, crack direction, etc. And before carving directly on the material, sketch out the overall structure and details of the piece on paper or using digital software. This helps avoid mistakes and ensures that the proportions are accurate.”

"Apart from actually doing it, it should be easy for you to remember these tips and precautions."

As he spoke, Bai Shi threw a book titled "Introduction to Carving Techniques and Precautions" to Chen Yun, which he had just taken out of the bookcase, and asked Chen Yun to read the book first.

He believed that with Chen Yun's learning ability, it would be quite easy for him to at least remember the key points in this book.

But considering that it also involves hands-on work.

While Chen Yun was reading, Bai Shi went to the cabinet in the second bedroom and took out two plaster blocks for carving that he had in stock.

"I will carve one first. You can read the book while watching me carve. Then you can try to do it in practice later to get a feel for it."

"To be honest, the skills are not difficult. It's nothing more than using various tools and following the instructions to remove the excess material. The most you need to do is understand and consider the various properties of the materials to avoid damaging the carving materials."

"It's nothing too advanced. I don't need to teach you much. You can get started easily by practicing for a while."

Shiraishi said so.

Then he picked up the carving knife and began to carve skillfully.

The plaster block kept falling into various pieces as he manipulated it.

soon.

Then he roughly sketched out the shape of a human head.

Seeing this, Bai Shi was about to change to a smaller carving knife to continue carving.

But when his eyes noticed Chen Yun, who couldn't wait to start creating, he couldn't help but stare in shock with his eyes wide open.

Under the soft and even light, Chen Yun is like a master standing quietly in front of his workbench, surrounded by a faint smell of plaster powder, which interweaves with the tranquility in the air to create a unique artistic atmosphere. His eyes are deep and focused, as if he can penetrate the plaster that is about to take shape and look directly into the soul of the work.

Chen Yun's fingers brushed across the uncarved plaster block with extraordinary dexterity, and he seemed to have already sketched out the outline of the upcoming work of art in his mind.

With each light cut of the knife, plaster chips scattered finely, as light as the first snow.

Chen Yun's movements were calm and unhurried, and each cut was precise and accurate, with both power and delicacy, as if he was having a silent conversation with the plaster.

Sometimes he frowned, immersed in thinking about the form and details; sometimes the corners of his mouth rose, feeling satisfied with the fit between the idea in his mind and the reality in his hands.

As time slowly passed, the plaster block gradually lost its original roughness, and the shape of the sculpture gradually became clear. It was a bird spreading its wings, ready to fly. Every feather on its wings was lifelike and full of free will, as if it was about to fly high in the next moment.

The light wanders on the surface of the sculpture, outlining soft and powerful lines. The work seems to be given life as light and shadow interweave. Chen Yun takes a few steps back from time to time, squints his eyes to examine the whole, and makes fine adjustments to certain details. Each correction makes the work closer to perfection.

Finally, when the last piece of excess plaster fell, Chen Yun put down his tools and dusted the back of his hand covered with plaster powder.

Under his skillful hands, the plaster sculpture before him has been transformed from a piece of cold material into an artistic masterpiece full of emotion and soul, quietly expressing the craftsman's voice and pursuit.

"Well, it's not difficult indeed."

After Chen Yun finished all this, he looked at the handsome bird in front of him with satisfaction, as if it was about to take off.

I couldn't help but watch the whole process which was so smooth and perfect that it was almost like art.

Bai Shi couldn't help but remain silent for a long time.

Not to mention that the flying bird is carved extremely perfectly, full of the charm of longing to fly high.

Just look at Chen Yun's smooth speed, precise cutting angle and force. He looks like a master who has been immersed in carving for decades.

"What the hell??? If I say there's no need to teach, then you really don't need to learn?"

"You know how to do it now?"

"I was just saying it casually."

"Oh my God, how many Michelangelos can you eat in one meal?"

Bai Shi was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise. He excitedly grabbed Chen Yun's shoulder and started complaining loudly.

You call this a beginner?

Then what is Bai Shi?

Idiot?

Although carving is indeed a skill that requires hands-on practice and makes perfect, the specific technique is indeed not difficult.

Anyone who is serious will know the answer after reading it once. It is nothing more than understanding the materials, using the right strength, and having a certain level of spatial imagination.

but……

Everyone also knows that the principle of nuclear fission is a form of nuclear reaction in which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two or more atoms with smaller mass.

Why can't everyone rub a nuclear bomb with their hands?

Chapter 150: Uncle, you are not allowed to park in the ditch

[It's nothing too advanced, I don't need to teach you much, you can get started easily by practicing for a while. ]

Shiraishi had to admit it.

When I said this, it was purely out of a desire to show off.

But he didn't expect that his words would come true.

After all, no normal person could have imagined that Chen Yun would be able to get started right away.

And this door seems to be quite deep.

In one go, he completed the journey that most people would take a lifetime to complete, and almost stood at the top of this field.

Bai Shi swore on his excellent artistic qualities that the flying bird carved by Chen Yun in front of him was definitely a work of art.

That agile body, that posture that seems to be about to soar upwards, is full of vitality.

This is not a work of art. Are we really going to point at a pile of garbage and call it a work of art?

Looking thoughtfully at Chen Yun, who had found paint from his home and started to color the flying bird sculpture, Bai Shi deeply felt the disparity of the world at this moment.

to be frank.

This feeling has always been given to others by him.

After all, he has always been a genius in everything he learns, especially in areas related to art, where he has made rapid progress.

But now.

But he truly felt the same feeling he had once given to others.

The kind of despair where you can only see the taillights of a car.

No.

To be precise, the feeling brought by Chen Yun was even more exaggerated.

He was already at the top of the industry from the start, transcending the definition of genius.

But a genius!

He is a monster that can easily destroy the confidence of anyone who claims to be a genius!

Looking at Chen Yun who was carefully painting the flying bird with gold, Bai Shi slowly said, "How about... we go out together to buy some plaster or marble later? I've been focusing on painting recently, and I haven't been sculpting much, so I don't have much stock of sculpting materials at home."

Bai Shi did not praise Chen Yun.

Because he couldn't think of any words that were really suitable to describe Chen Yun.

So after pondering for a long time, Bai Shi thought that he could buy some more materials and appreciate Chen Yun's strength, which was at the peak of his ability as a beginner.

"Okay, get some other materials later, and I'll try to carve something suitable for playing with."

Chen Yun agreed with a smile.

Then he continued to paint the flying bird sculpture he had carved.

·························

Bai Shi drove his Cadillac with Chen Yun in the traffic.

At 9:30 in the morning, the city gradually wakes up and the streets begin to weave a busy prelude to the day. The sun has calmly climbed up the shoulders of the tall buildings and gently sprinkled on the road, covering the early risers and vehicles with a layer of golden coat.

The traffic is like a river just awakened by the morning light, converging from all corners of the city and flowing slowly.

The traffic at this time was not yet crowded, and every car seemed to maintain a tacit understanding and move forward at a moderate speed.

Without the sense of urgency of the morning rush hour, drivers seem to be more relaxed. Some of them gently roll down the windows, allowing the fresh air mixed with the aroma of the breakfast stalls to flow into the car, awakening their good mood for the day.

Shiraishi drove the Cadillac all the way and soon left the bustling downtown area.
