Chapter 50 Carving
Updated: 2012-11-25
After returning to the room, Tang Tianyou lay on the bed, constantly pondering in his mind, how should he make his first pot of gold in his life?
Could he go to business?
Although most businessmen are businessmen, successful businessmen need excellent vision and sensitive grasp of timing. Both of these abilities are indispensable, otherwise they will only lose money.
What's more, he is now a senior high school student who is close to the college entrance examination and does not have much time to do business, so doing business is not a good choice.
It seems that we need to find some ways to make money quickly. Tang Tianyou thought about it and bought a lottery might be a good choice, but the chance of winning is too low. Winning a five-million jackpot requires a great luck and it is not safe at all.
Or, in gambling, Tang Tianyou had this idea again!
But nine out of ten gambling are cheating. He is not a genius with amazing gambling skills. I guess he will be wasted if he invests money.
So, gambling is better than robbing this promising job, and it is professionally matched. If Tang Tianyou takes action, probably few people will be able to escape and be sure to win every opportunity.
However, although he could do this easily and had no repulsion for robbery at all, Whitebeard is a big pirate, and killing people and catching treasures is common. How could Tang Tianyou, who inherited Whitebeard's memory, be rejected by these things?
But he makes money just to help his parents reduce the burden on his family. If all the money is shameful and cannot be used, then it will not be of great help to his parents.
After thinking for a long time, Tang Tianyou couldn't figure out a clue and found a good way to make money. After a long time, he sighed and thought to himself: "It's really difficult to make money! It seems that I'd better get into the memory of Whitebeard first and see if I can find some useful help in it."
...
The memories in my mind were like playing a movie, constantly flashing in front of my eyes. I don’t know how long it took, but Tang Tianyou suddenly exhaled and a happy smile appeared on his face.
He finally found a way to make money!
When everyone sees Whitebeard at first sight, they will think that he is extremely brave, uneasy, heroic, and an absolute warrior.
However, what few people know is that Whitebeard also has a delicate side, not a rash man who blindly believes in power, but in fact he is also a great artist.
However, what he is good at is not the art of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, etc., but the art that has been passed down from ancient times and is unchanging - stone sculpture!
So what is a stone sculpture?
The shape, texture, texture and color of the stone contain not only the specific image, but also the beauty itself. Use a carving knife to cut off the extra part of the stubborn stone, so that the beautiful image in it will naturally be exposed and revealed.
This is a stone sculpture!
From ancient times to the present, among the countless art forms, probably none can be older than stone carvings, and no one can express people's joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness better than stone carvings. This has also made stone carvings last for countless years.
For Whitebeard, the art of stone sculpture, after countless years of precipitation and training, can definitely be called a master-level figure, and has long reached the level of superb level!
Several stone sculptures he once created were once accidentally circulated on the market, which immediately aroused the world's exclamation. These works have been auctioned for at least hundreds of millions of Baileys on the black market!
Of course, the reason why Whitebeard likes stone sculptures is not that simple. During a boring voyage, Whitebeard was very bored and carved the stone in his hand, but inadvertently, he was suddenly surprised to find that carving stones can actually improve his mental power!
In the world of One Piece, many people know that the only way to exercise mental power is meditation!
However, after meditation exercise, the whole person will be very tired, because meditation exercise is to constantly use mental power, consume a bottom line, and then restore the mental power by itself, which will lead to a feeling of fatigue in the body and the efficiency of mental power training will become very low.
However, the carving method created by Whitebeard himself is different, and it is completely at an extreme. It may take energy to be consumed in the early stage of carving and sweating profusely, but in the middle and late stages, the exercise effect is very good.
This is a method that can be regarded as a secret technique!
The reason why Whitebeard has become the world's strongest is largely because it relies on this unique exercise method!
More importantly, stone sculptures are a very expensive work of art, especially the famous stone sculptures. The value contained in them is immeasurable, which is very consistent with Tang Tianyou's idea of making money.
It is said that a sculpture by sculpture master Brancusi, "Birds in the Sky", was sold at Christie's Auction in New York for US$27.45 million, setting a world highest price record for sculpture auctions!
Although "Birds in the Sky" is an exception in stone sculptures, even some relatively ordinary stone sculptures may cost tens of thousands of yuan each, which is extremely expensive!
It can be said that in this world, stone carving is a very prosperous job.
"If I learn how to carve stones, I can not only take out the carved works to sell them, but also play a role in training. It's really a win-win situation!" Tang Tianyou thought happily.
...
Early in the morning, in the park.
Tang Tianyou was holding a flat knife bought from the store in his hand and was looking at it attentively. This stone, about the size of a palm, had just been picked up from the mountain.
"Start with the basics, let's practice with this little stone first..."
Speaking of carving, the difficulty of carving is the most difficult, because the stone is hard and carving is very difficult, and it also needs to form a unique charm, so the more difficult it is to carve, but the more difficult it is, the more precious the successful works are.
The general method of carving stones requires many tools, such as round knives, flat knives, oblique knives, triangular knives, jade bowl knives, axes, saws, etc. The reason why there are so many tools is also the reason why the stones themselves are relatively hard. They will use round knives to arrange, flat knives to cut, triangular knives to polish, etc.
However, the carving method of Whitebeard is different from everyone else, because his carving method only uses one tool - a flat knife, so the carving method of Whitebeard is called "flat knife flow"!
Flat knife flow has very high requirements for skills, and it emphasizes flowing water and is completed in one go, and there is no pause in the middle, because as long as you pause a little, it will destroy the overall beauty and fluency of the work.
However, the hardness of each part of the stone is different. As long as the strength of your carving becomes slightly different, your wrist strength will cause you to be unable to master the accuracy and smoothness of the carving, thereby damaging the stone.
Therefore, ordinary people simply cannot master such advanced skills.
Some people say, how can you carve a flat knife alone? For example, how can you carve a scale with a flat knife? Is this impossible?
However, Tang Tianyou is different from Whitebeard. They both have the ability to activate vibration at will. They can fully feel the internal structure of the stone, and then use the ability to sculpt the most subtle control to remove all the parts they want to carve.
It can be said that the carving technique of flat knife flow was born for Tang Tianyou. Of course, this does not mean that if you have special talents, you can learn carving well. Next, he must practice a lot to control these skills.
Fortunately, Tang Tianyou has the lifelong sculpting memory of Whitebeard, and he accepted Whitebeard's lifelong experience as if he was enlightened. Therefore, he did not need to start from scratch like a beginner. He only needed a little practice to carve a good work.
