Chapter 50: Stone Carvings (Part 1)

Views:

The spring sunshine is warm and comfortable, and the teenagers in the 1987 dormitory are staying in the courtyard.

Yale, George, and Reynolds were all chatting with each other. Now Yale and George are sixteen years old, and Reynolds is fourteen years old. The height of the three men also jumped very fast. Even the shortest George was about 1.6 meters, and the tallest Yale was 1.9 meters.

"George, don't pretend to us. The fourth child is broken, so you and the third child are still pretending? In this way, at the end of this month, you and the third child will go to the 'Clear Water Paradise' in Finlay City. Comfortable clothes, and also make sure that the little girl is a good place, how about it?" Yale kept exercising his chest muscles with two small stone piers, and said with a smile on his mouth.

These two small stone piers were estimated to be twenty or thirty pounds each, and normally Linley wouldn't even look at them.

George smiled and said, "Boss Yale, don't force me, you go to Clear Water Paradise, and I and the third child are drinking outside, isn't that good?"

Renault also curled his lips and said, "George, you are not a man at all."

George could only helplessly smile.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard. Yale put down the two small stone piers, looked towards the courtyard door, and said, "I'm afraid the third child is coming, let's go, we're going to eat—" Halfway through, Yale said nothing. end.

I saw Linley carrying a huge rock on his shoulders. This rock was one meter high and definitely weighed several hundred kilograms.

However, Linley seemed to easily carry the boulder into the courtyard. Yale, George, and Reynolds were stunned. Linley placed the boulder weighing several hundred kilograms in a corner of the courtyard at will. The heavy sound of the boulder hitting the ground was also heard. Let the three of Yale tremble.

"Damn it, the third one, I know you are very strong, but why is it so strong?" Yale stared at the boulder, "Could it be that this boulder is hollow?" The boulder tried to lift.

"Humph!"

Yale tried so hard that his face turned red, but the big rock didn't move as if it had taken root.

"Boss Yale, don't waste your energy, you can't move it." Linley said with a smile.

Yale's physical strength is not even a first-level soldier, how can it be moved

Renault opened his eyes wide and looked at the boulder. He was amazed a few times. Then he turned to look at Linley and asked, "Hey, Linley, what did you do with such a big rock in the dormitory? Ah, I see." Renault's eyes lit up. , "I've seen powerful warriors who constantly use boulders to lift weights with both hands to exercise their bodies. Are you planning to lift weights, Linley?"

"Such a big rock can smash me into meat patties." George looked at the boulder and exclaimed a few times, then looked at Linley and said suspiciously, "Young third, you moved this big rock into the dormitory, what is the point? What is it for?"

Linley looked at his three good brothers with a smile, and spit out two words: "Stone carving!"

According to Dering Cowart's words, his own stone sculptures are already in the palace, and it takes a long time to carve stone sculptures, usually one or two days is not enough. In the past, you could guard against the back mountain at will, and you didn't care about damage, but now it's different.

"stone carving?"

Yale, Reynolds, and George all stared at Linley with wide eyes in surprise.

"Why, surprised?" Linley looked at his three brothers.

Renault said again and again: "Not very surprised, but very surprised. We four brothers have been together for six or seven years, but we have never seen you carving before. Are you going to start learning stone carving from today?"

Lin Lei smiled: "Who said that I started to learn carving today, I have been practicing carving in the back mountain for more than five years, and this time, this work has been carved, and I am going to send it to the Prux Hall for an exhibition to see if it is possible. Can sell for some money."

In order to raise enough gold coins to send his younger brother Wharton Jr. and the housekeeper 'Ciri' to study in the O'Brien Empire, the Baruch family's money was almost emptied.

But even so, Hogg was very happy.

What if the family is hollowed out? Now his eldest son 'Lin Lei' is a student of Ernst College, and he must be a great magician with respected status after coming out, while his younger son 'Walton' has the possibility to become a dragon blood warrior.

Hogg can predict the glory of his Baruch family in the future!

"Prucks Club?" The three of Yale heard this and looked at Linley in surprise.

Linley is the pride of their dormitory No. 1987. He entered the fifth grade of Ernst College at the age of fifteen. He and Dixie are also called 'the two peerless geniuses of Ernst College', and the three of them at Yale also admitted. lei is a genius, but...

Stone carving is a very profound art.

Many people have studied stone carving for decades, and they can only be regarded as ordinary craftsmen. As an art with the longest heritage, is it so easy to succeed? Linley even tried in vain to get his works to be exhibited at the 'Prux Hall', the highest hall of stone carvings.

"Third, don't get hot." George joked and comforted.

"Lin Lei, I'm worried... Will someone buy your work?" Renault frowned, in a tone of disbelief in Lin Lei.

Yale laughed and said, "What are you talking about, third child, you can just go to the exhibition. As long as it is your work, I will buy it for you with 10,000 gold coins."

"What I said is true." Linley took out a flat knife from his pocket.

"Flat knife?" Reno said in surprise, "Lin Lei, you seem to be well prepared, but I was planning to learn stone carving. There are many tools for stone carving, including flat knife, round knife, triangle knife, jade bowl knife, And an ax or something, why, are you going to use this kind of tool?"

Whether it is Reynolds, Yale or George, they all have a general understanding of various arts.

lei did not say much.

Holding the flat knife, Linley naturally entered a state of calm and naturalness. He also felt the flow of elements inside the boulder in front of him. Linley could barely sense the veins inside the boulder. Linley smiled and waved the knife immediately.

The light of the knife was like a shadow, and the reflected sunlight caused the three Renaults next to them to narrow their eyes involuntarily, but the three of them still stared at the boulder.

"Hoohoo!"

The shadow of the knife slashed at the same place in rapid succession, and a large piece of rubble was thrown into the air.

"How is that possible?" Yale looked at this scene in shock, "Such a big piece of rock should be chopped off with an axe, but it was chopped off with only a flat knife. How amazing is the arm strength?" Reynolds and George next to him It was completely silent.

Arm strength

To be as elegant as lei, and the cut surface to be so natural and smooth, it is not possible to do it with a single arm.

Lin Lei's whole body is as natural as a peaceful lake. The flat knife in his hand is like an extension of his right hand. The flat knife is rapidly and continuously slicing all over the boulder, and the stone waste is constantly thrown up. Just watching is a pleasure.

"The third, he..."

Yale, George, and Reynolds looked at each other. At this moment, they had a feeling that Linley was really a master of stone carving.

Tranquil, natural, peaceful.

Linley really enjoyed the feeling of sculpting, to the point where Linley is now, how much effort should be used in any place in the stone. There is no need to think at all, the flat knife in the hand will naturally reach the point of perfection. That's a subconscious one.

Compared to the 'flat knife' genre.

It is impossible for other stone carving schools to have this kind of enjoyment. The masters of other stone carving schools need to use different tools in different places when carving, and it takes a lot of thought.

In this kind of natural harmony, Lin Lei's mental power grew rapidly like a grass bathed in spring rain. That feeling of natural growth also made Lin Lei feel wonderful to its peak. It was a feeling of comfort from the heart.

Linley's right hand stopped suddenly.

The stone scraps flew, and it took a while to fully land, and the boulder already had a rough embryonic model of a reptile.

"What are you three doing standing there, staring blankly?" Linley smiled and turned to look at the three of them at Yale, "It's only now that we can make the simplest rough embryo, it will take a long time later, let's go, let's go Go to lunch first."

Yale, Reynolds, and George looked at each other.

Just from the hand that Linley showed just now, the three of them were sure—

"Master." Yale said with admiration.

"Genius." Reno exclaimed even more.

"Genius in the masters," added George.

Even if one learns stone carving and can reach the level of lei within five or six years, it is difficult to see one in a hundred years.
