Jade carving and wood carving are two completely different fields, first of all, the difference in materials. Jade is crisp and easy to crack, and it will crack if you are not careful. This requires a high degree of control and keen observation on the part of the engraver.

The second is the size of the volume, generally speaking, nephrite is not large, so the subject matter will be limited, and it cannot be carved according to the shape of the wood like wood carving.

The piece of material in Zhao Xiaoning's hand has a golden skin, although it is not big, but it can add a lot of points to this piece of material. In addition to the golden skin, there are also some colored skins in other places. But it's nowhere near as concentrated as that.

"Kim... The golden sun?"

Zhao Xiaoning first had an idea of the sun.

"Sculpting a picture of the countryside at sunset?"

"It's not good, it's not good, if you carve a rural area, you must first have trees, so that you can meet the situation. However, this piece of material is obviously white, and it is a bit inappropriate to carve the countryside. ”

Zhao Xiaoning rejected the previous idea.

"There are golden cow skins on this piece of material, and there are also small areas of green and yellow skins, although they are not concentrated, but they can be used well. ”

Zhao Xiaoning fell into meditation, giving up the material itself, and only those different colors in his mind. You must know that the value of this material is the skin, and the market price of pure white material is not very high.

"Golden... Yellow... White... Cyan... Black..."Zhao Xiaoning seemed to have an idea, but he couldn't grasp that idea. It made him a little depressed, but that kind of flash of inspiration was hard to grasp. It's like a monk's epiphany, but it's hard to find.

Zhao Xiaoning can believe that if he grasps that idea, he will definitely be able to carve a work that shocks the world.

Just when he was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks, Xiao Qi flew over humming a song: "The white dragon horse's hooves are facing west, carrying Tang Sanzang to follow the apprentices, and the west is on the road to learn scriptures, and it is tens of thousands of miles away." ”

Hearing Xiao Qi's incomplete singing, Zhao Xiaoning was about to collapse: "Master, please don't ruin my childhood memories..."

Zhao Xiaoning was directly stunned, he found that the thought in his mind had become clearer and clearer with Xiao Qi's singing. It made his eyes flash with excitement.

"Sun Wukong is covered with golden hair all over his body and carries a wishful golden hoop stick on his shoulder. Tang Seng wore a golden robe and rode a white dragon horse. Zhu Bajie was dressed in black, and the sand monk's face turned blue. Coupled with that dense piece of golden cow leather, it can be regarded as a sunset, and this work can be set as a way to learn from the scriptures. ”

"Okay, I'm so handsome, aren't I? Young man, you're very discerning. The little seven monsters smiled and fell in front of Zhao Xiaoning.

"Young your sister!" Zhao Xiaoning felt like vomiting blood. He found out that he was the natural enemy of animals and birds, first he was almost scared by the dragon mastiff, and now he was said to be a young man by a bird, which was too shocking.

With a light cough, Xiao Qi spoke: "Boss, I'll give you bad news." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xiaoning frowned.

Xiao Qi sighed and said, "Da Lao Hei and the dragon mastiff you brought back are working on the mountain. ”

"How could they do it?" Zhao Xiaoning hurriedly asked. Whether it is the big black or the blood dragon mastiff, they all belong to the category of alien beasts, and if there is a real war, there will definitely be deaths and injuries.

"Big Black wants to eat dog meat, that's what he said. also said that it is the head snake here, let the dragon mastiff be cautious, don't be too arrogant. Xiao Qi said helplessly.

"Wait. Zhao Xiaoning said: "What I want to know is why is that perverted dog arrogant? Why did it cause dissatisfaction with the old man?"

Xiao Qida glanced at him meaningfully: "It... It stabbed two she-wolves in estrus and almost killed them. ”

"Uh..." Zhao Xiaoning was a little confused, that dragon mastiff really deserves the title of color dog. On the first day I came here, I killed two she-wolves, Nima, are you two races, okay?

Recalling what happened in Kunlun Mountain that day, Zhao Xiaoning was a little worried, and couldn't help asking, "Are the two she-wolves okay?"

"Why are you asking this question? Could it be that you are also called by it?" Xiao Qi looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Xiaoning rolled his eyes: "Get out, you were just called by it." ”

"Quack, you're angry, are you annoyed and angry? Boss, you won't really be offended by it, right?" said the little seven traitors with a smile.

"Getting back to business, what's going on?" Zhao Xiaoning's eyes widened, he was not insulted by that perverted dog, but he was also scolded dozens of times, but this kind of embarrassing thing can't be said!

Xiao Qi continued: "That dragon mastiff is not a good stubble, what is not a raptor but not the river, and said that if it is in a hurry... It doesn't mind slapping the big black too. You know, Big Black is the mother. So the two of them didn't agree and did it. ”

Zhao Xiaoning was defeated by that perverted dog, buddy, don't be like this, you are not Xu Xian, don't call it a snake!

"What happened to the result? There will be no casualties, right?" Zhao Xiaoning asked.

Xiao Qi said: "Those two guys have similar strength, and they can't help each other." But I'm sure I'll eat some of the flesh and skin. ”

Zhao Xiaoning nodded slightly: "Actually, this is a good thing, I haven't controlled Da Lao Hei yet, and it's a hidden danger for that guy to stay here." If the dog can contain it, it will definitely not dare to mess around. ”

Xiao Qi hummed: "Okay, I just saw you come back and come over to talk to you, you are busy with you, I will withdraw." With that, he flew out of the window.

After Xiao Qi flew away, Zhao Xiaoning started his previous work. Xiao Qiwu's incomplete singing voice made him grasp the flash of inspiration in his mind, and looked at the palm-sized piece of material, there is nothing more suitable for carving the path of learning scriptures.

After the idea was conceived, Zhao Xiaoning picked up the carbon pencil and began to draw. He had to sketch out the shape of the figure before he could sculpt it.

It took almost an hour for Zhao Xiaoning to sketch out the images of several characters in pencil. This is a very appropriate idea, if he can really express all the ideas in his mind in the way of carving, it is very likely to win the Tiangong Award, which is the biggest honor in the jade carving industry.

Since Zhao Xiaoning is involved in the jade carving world, he must have a goal, and the Tiangong Award is his ultimate goal.

The figure is sketched out, and the next step is the carving.

Because this set of carving knives uses electricity, it is much easier to carve than wood. However, Zhao Xiaoning did not dare to be careless at all, after all, jade is fragile, and he must be cautious and cautious.

The sharp carving knife spun rapidly and made a buzzing sound, and the carving began under Zhao Xiaoning's control. He didn't plan to use this work to select the Tiangong Award, but at least it had to shock the world like that hope, right?

On the professionalism and ambition of an engraver...
