Views:

I strolled up to Uncle Zhang, looked at him, looked at his eyes, those eyes that could see through all the material essence in the world.

Uncle Zhang's name is Zhang Kuang. He is indeed very crazy. He also has the right to be crazy. He is only forty years old, but he has already become a leader in the industry of engraving that emphasizes seniority. It is precisely because he is crazy that he dares to confront "Bao Yuxiang"'s second son. The young master cursed loudly. Although he knew that the second young master was a real villain, even if he ended up in this situation, he still had no regrets.

He looked at the child in front of him, and for the first time he felt that he couldn't see through it. Although it was much harder to see people than dead objects, he could still see a little bit, but the child in front of him couldn't see anything at all. Looking at the child in front of me: he looks like a child, and his walking posture is steady and powerful, like a strong adult. Looking at his eyes, he has the vitality of a child, the maturity of a middle-aged man, and the vicissitudes of an old man. Profound. Who is he? Is he a child? Is he a hidden master? He has become a child again...

I smiled because I saw those eyes were confused...

"Uncle Zhang, although I am Zhang Yu's master, I am only six years old this year, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. After the Chinese New Year, I will be seven years old. I will call you Uncle Zhang!" I cupped my hands and said with a smile. .

Kuang looked at me. Did he know that his son had inherited his own madness? Most people would ignore him at all, let alone worship him as a master. The man in front of me asked his son to worship him as a master just because of his childish appearance. , it seems that he is really a master. Zhang Kuang still didn't believe that Zhang Xingfeng was a child and regarded him as an outsider.

Since the master wants to call me uncle, I can't refuse. Who knows what he is thinking.

"Oh, now that I have said that, my dear nephew, please come into my little bamboo house to have a rest. Yu'er, go make tea for your master and take out my share of the Holy Rain Guanyin. My dear nephew, please come with me. "Zhang Kuang and I entered his small bamboo house.

What's going on? Why is my father willing to take out the Holy Rain Guanyin? It seems that my father has also seen the magic of my master. Zhang Yu thought as he walked towards the small room at the back.

"Uncle Zhang, Zhang Yu said that you are an extremely powerful and skilled jade carver." I sat on the bamboo chair facing the room and said to Uncle Zhang.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. It can only be said that I am a little unworthy, haha." Uncle Zhang said this, the pride on his face was still very obvious. Others praise you when you are most proud of it. It’s strange to be unhappy!

"Uncle Zhang, I accidentally got two pieces of top-quality jade from Li Si. I would like to ask Uncle Zhang to take a look." I took out the two pieces of top-quality jade from my arms and placed them on the bluestone table.

Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up in an instant, and he looked at the two pieces of jade carefully. After a long time, he sighed and said:

"This piece of jade is the rare king of jade - Jade Essence. It is the essence of a jade mine. It can be used to calm down and concentrate. However, it is too hard. Only the light of a sword can scratch it. How can any first-class master What about carving? Besides, the carving knife must be very stable. A slight tremor will destroy the entire product. Therefore, although this jade essence is precious, it is of little use. But just because of its rarity, a piece of jade essence is also It will be sold for fifty thousand taels of silver."

"Then where can I buy jade essence?" I couldn't wait.

"Although there are very few, you can still buy some as long as you pre-order at a big auction house. In fact, top-grade jade is enough. It also has the effect of calming the mind and focusing on it, and it is cheaper. I have a top-grade jade here. , If your nephew doesn’t mind it, then you can use it from me." Uncle Zhang said boldly. In fact, he was very reluctant to part with it, but I am also his son’s master after all, so he would let it go even if he couldn’t.

I looked at Uncle Zhang and said with a smile: "How dare I accept Uncle Zhang's things? What's more, I already have a lot of high-grade jade. I actually need top-grade jade for some very important things. "

Uncle Zhang was very happy after hearing what I said. As a jade carver, he cherishes the good jade materials in his hands. You must know that good works not only require good knife skills, but also good jade materials. After calming down for a while, Uncle Zhang remembered what I just said about using the best jade for a very important thing. He couldn't help but be confused and asked.

"My dear nephew, although it is the essence of a jade mine, it should have some very important functions. I myself also have some reputation in the industry of jade carvers, but as far as I know, this top-quality jade has no important function. Yes, nephew, can you tell me what you are using this top-grade jade for? Oh, please forgive me for being presumptuous. If my nephew has any important secrets, it goes without saying. Uncle Zhang, I am not an unreasonable person. Someone." Uncle Zhang concealed his feelings and showed a smile, saying that he didn't necessarily want to know the secret at all, but I could still see his anxiety and longing in his eyes.

I looked at Uncle Zhang with a smile on his face, and I smiled. I reached out and picked up the teacup that Ayu had just brought to me on the bluestone table, and took a sip in my mouth. I carefully recalled the teacup. It has a fresh, ethereal and elegant feeling. I found that I fell in love with this Holy Rain Guanyin.

At this time, Uncle Zhang looked at me enjoying myself, but he didn't feel any pride at all. At this time, his heart was already filled with things about the wonderful uses of this top-quality jade. However, this top-quality jade has never been found to be of any importance. I don’t know how many jade carvers have spent their entire lives without discovering the function of jade. For a person like Uncle Zhang who loves carving jade, there is nothing more attractive than knowing the function of top-quality jade.

Looking at Uncle Zhang looking so anxious and trying to put on a calm expression on his face, it was really hard on our Uncle Zhang. I looked up and saw that it was almost enough.

I put down the tea cup in my hand, placed it gently on the bluestone, raised my head, and looked directly at Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang immediately showed a smile. I smiled and said to Uncle Zhang:

"Uncle Zhang, it's actually nothing, and it's not a secret. I just have a way to turn the best jade into jasper without a single flaw." I smiled lightly, but I know that there is no flaw in this world. What does jasper mean.

"What, what are you talking about? There is no flaw at all. How is this possible? How is this possible... Are you sure that you can create jade without any flaw at all? Are you really sure?" Uncle Zhang stood up from his chair. Get up and say it loudly.

He no longer has any trace of his usual composure, he is almost crazy, but how can you blame him? Any jade carver would be like this. Jade without any flaws is the jade carver's lifelong pursuit. Throughout the ages, and in recent thousands of years, the technology of carvers has made great progress, but to this day, no flawless jade has appeared. People think that flawless jade is just a legend. Now the legend is about to become a reality. , do you think he can't be crazy

I looked at Uncle Zhang and said firmly: "I am sure that I will be able to create a flawless jasper. As soon as we all return to the capital this time, I will immediately create a flawless jasper. Uncle Zhang, we are going to the capital soon, ah Yu will also go with us, will you go with us? Oh, I remembered, 'Bao Yuxiang' has a big store in the capital. For your safety, you should live a quiet life. Ayu will feel relieved if you are here." I said to Uncle Zhang teasingly, but I know that Uncle Zhang will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire just to see Wuxia Jasper.

"How is this possible? How can I leave my biological son? No matter what hardships and dangers there are, we can never separate our father and son." Uncle Zhang's face seemed to glow with the glory of a loving father. But I know that Uncle Zhang may not want to be separated from his son, but most of it is because of the impeccable Biyu who is about to be born.

Zhang Yu, who was reading in the study, heard his father's sincere expression, and his heart was agitated. He could not calm down his mood for a long time...

I looked at Uncle Zhang's appearance. Although he was mainly here for Wuxia Biyu, I could still truly feel his feelings for his son. Where is my father...

I suddenly felt excited, stood up from the chair, and said resolutely to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, if you come with us, no one can hurt you, let alone that 'Bao Yuxiang' , even if there are ten 'Bao Yuxiang', I won't take it seriously!" I suddenly seemed to be arrogant to the world. Indeed, looking at the world, who am I afraid of as a cultivator! For a moment, I was so proud that my majestic momentum naturally spread.

Uncle Zhang looked at me, and suddenly he felt confused. A royal aura rushed towards his face. The figure of the child in front of him became bigger and bigger, like a mountain, making it impossible to look up... Suddenly, there was a feeling in his heart that he wanted to look up to the child in front of him. The thought of worship arose... Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and everything in front of me became clear again. Others may think that their eyes are dazzled, but jade carvers who rely on their eyes to work believe in their own eyes. Therefore, he knew that everything just now was true, and the initiator of all this was the child in front of him.

I suddenly found that Uncle Zhang's eyes were blank and he was about to kneel down to me. I immediately found that I had spread the aura of my cultivation state. I immediately put away my aura and sat down again as usual. I know that people like Uncle Zhang will not believe that everything just happened was an illusion. I couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and suddenly my heart moved. I looked at Uncle Zhang and said:

"Uncle Zhang, when I came here just now, I saw you chopping bamboo. You have no martial arts, so why do you have such better eyesight than those who practice martial arts? Your knife is just an ordinary bamboo chopping knife. Why can you do it so easily? What about splitting the bamboo in half?”

As soon as Uncle Zhang heard my question, he immediately acted like a master, touched his three short strands of beard, and said loudly: "This vision is the basic skill of a jade carver. When we are carving, There can't be any mistakes, otherwise a work will be finished. And knife skills are the standard to measure a jade carver. When a jade carver can lift a heavy weight with ease and use only one force to produce a great effect, it is a very good one. I am a carver. But my knife skill is to experience the texture of the material itself and use the power of nature to do all this. This is a truly peerless carving master."

I was surprised that everything really has its own way, and even the carving industry has developed to the point where it can utilize the power of nature.

"Uncle Zhang, I admire you, I admire you, I really admire you." I stood up and expressed my sincere admiration to him. I am sincere. In my previous life, I only realized how to use the power of nature when I reached the Nascent Soul stage. I was already over 1,200 years old at that time!

"Master, are we setting off soon? Brother Wang is ready. He asked me to ask you." Li Da's voice came from outside the house.
