Chapter 194
"So that's how it is..." Chen Mange thought for a while and sighed in a low voice: "The thing Zi An wants to do is a long way to go..."
Qu Duodou nodded: "That's right. Master Lu's thoughts are too advanced. To be honest, I really don't dare to say this without certain ability. To be honest, I thought it was ridiculous when I heard it for the first time."
"Um?"
"What Master Lu wants to do is to inherit his unique skills and carry forward them, but how difficult it is to do this? So many people have never done it before, so why should he have the confidence to say that he can do it?" Qu Duoduo said to the point: "And he is not old and has no weight in his words, so I was not optimistic at the beginning."
Chen Mange also smiled helplessly: "Actually, I had this feeling before, but I think Brother Zi'an will definitely succeed."
"Well, later I carefully studied all the works of Master Lu. Do you know? His progress is really terrible. He has basically made no mistakes. Even if there are any flaws, they will be compensated immediately. Moreover, the skills of each work are more exquisite than the previous one." Qu Duoduo looked very serious: "If such a person cannot succeed, who else can succeed?"
And this is one of the reasons why she had to devote herself to this career despite her family's opposition.
Cooperating with Lu Zian is an investment that combines both challenges and risks. She was also very nervous at the beginning, but now it seems that she has bet right.
At this moment, everyone in the hall stopped and the long prelude was finally completed.
"Please...good luck!" the old man dragged his tone and sang leisurely.
Lu Zian and the other two took a step forward at the same time and uncovered the lids on their respective auspicious trays.
The rock craftsman's auspicious piece is a very exquisite stone sculpture. A landscape painting carved with bas-relief skills on the thin rock is particularly elegant.
The sculptors stepped forward to appreciate it carefully, and finally nodded, and placed the auspicious item on the stage in the joyful eyes of the representative of the rock craftsman.
The bricklayer's auspicious product is a stack of extremely square brick-red tiles. What is rare is that each piece has handprints on the back, but the surface is very smooth, the overall appearance is neat and neat, and very exquisite.
Jie Jiang’s auspicious product is much simpler. It is an extremely thin piece of wood without any carving or any tricks. It is just a word: thin.
These two works were finally placed on the pedestal, and then everyone looked at the carpenter and carver's auspicious works, both showing the same expression.
In dilemma.
The reason for feeling embarrassed is that these two auspicious items are actually nuclear carvings.
[Wow, I have seen a car crash with the same clothes and I have never seen a lucky product!]
【Even if you bumped into it before, I don’t know...】
[No matter what you say, I will bet on Master to win!]
Even Lu Jianfeng couldn't help but feel nervous and frowned and said, "Brother, why did you let Zi'an do the core carving? I think the round carving he made last time was not good. If it really doesn't work, just make some lacquered lines to make up. What's the core carving? The maker of this carving master is good at micro carving. You really..."
Lu Jianwei said expressionlessly: "If I ask him to do it, I will make sense."
The carpenters next to them were originally a little nervous, but when they looked at his calm and calm appearance, they temporarily suppressed their doubts and turned their eyes to the field.
Lu Jianwei held the small box with a core carving in his palm. This was the last core carving of his father during his lifetime. Although it was not exquisite enough, it was still fine to take it out to save the market.
If Lu Zian's work cannot be passed, he will be the last line of defense.
The masters of carving craftsman looked at each other with a serious expression, and they were a little hesitant.
This has never happened to two similar auspicious items before. It was the first time they saw them, and they couldn't help but hesitate.
If two core carvings were really placed on the public platform, would they be too disrespectful to the ancestor?
"This... in my opinion, why not change another piece of carpenter's auspicious product, right?" An old carpenter said hesitantly.
Without waiting for the others to speak, Lu Zian said calmly: "Can I ask the reason?"
"You have also seen it. These...the two auspicious items are nut carvings..."
Lu Zian nodded thoughtfully: "So the auspicious products of this Luban Conference cannot be nuclear sculptures?"
"That's not..." A person next to him hurriedly said: "It's just that the two auspicious items are the same..."
He didn't say anything else after that, but the implication was still very obvious.
Lu Zian thought for a while: "In this case, will both works be replaced?"
All changed? How can it be?
The sculpturers shook their heads repeatedly: "Of course, it's not possible. Just change one piece, just one piece."
Another person said directly: "I believe you understand that with your skills, it is still a bit difficult to compare with Master Meng, the sculptor."
This statement is actually not malicious, and it can even be regarded as a tactful hint. No one would say anything if he borrowed the donkey from the rampage at this time.
"Oh..." Lu Zian was not angry, but said calmly: "Then I think, for fairness, either withdraw from both pieces or participate in both pieces, and our carpenters' auspicious products will not be replaced."
He didn't want to compare with Master Meng, nor did he want to cause any disputes, but he could only force this matter to the end. Jipin was related to his face. Unless his skills were not as good as others, it would be impossible for someone to get out of the game casually with just one word.
Seeing Lu Zian's attitude so tough, the faces of the craftsmen were not very good-looking, but the carpenters all looked like they were advancing and retreating.
That's it! They are all craftsmen, so why are sculptors always superior to others?
Lu Zian is now in the limelight. Carving is an extremely rare master among his peers. The important master even personally invited him to participate in the selection, which is not necessarily worse than their masters of carving.
Lu Xun once said: "The Chinese people always like to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark, you must open a window here, and everyone will not allow it. If you advocate demolishing the roof, they will come to reconcile and are willing to open the window. Without more intense proposals, they will never even be willing to implement peaceful reforms."
Looking at the expressions of everyone, knowing that it is unlikely that they want to voluntarily change the auspicious products, the sculptors finally began to face up to Lu Zi'an's nuclear sculpture.
How to choose between the same nuclear carving?
Naturally, choose the best.
A master carving master hesitated and said: "No matter how exquisite the carpenter's skills are, he will never be able to carve in microcarving. Master Meng's work perfectly carves a whole couplet into this exquisite and exquisite core carving, with the style of a nuclear boat..."
Everyone knows what he said about the nuclear boat, "The couplet, title and seal script, are thirty-four characters in total. But if you think of the length, you will never be enough." This state of mind cannot be achieved by practicing casually.
With such confidence, the carving craftsmen began to carefully appreciate Lu Zi'an's auspicious product.
Their evaluation was also very fair: "The carving is quite exquisite, and the rare thing is that the artistic conception is also very good..."
"Oh, these antlers are so wonderful!" The man became more and more happy: "Wait, why do I see that there seems to be someone here? Wait until I put on my glasses and take a look..."
