I am the Almighty King of the City

Chapter 102
After making a decision, Ye Fan didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened the outer box, revealing the crystal clear jade inside.

"Grandpa, it's Huo Fei!" Li Mei touched the jade, shook her head and said, "It's not as beautiful as dad's piece, and the light feels so weak."

Grandpa Li Mei looked at the lively and active Li Mei, and couldn't help but smile. He took the jade from Li Mei's hand and observed it in the sun.

"Grandpa Li, how is it? Yes?" Ye Fan asked.

Grandpa Li Mei pondered for a moment, then said: "The water color of this piece of jade is not bad, but there are many small locks inside, which affects the value of the jade.

As far as carving is concerned, the places with strands will affect the color difference and overall layering of jade. I suggest dividing the places with strands before carving, young man, what do you think? "

Ye Fan knew a thing or two about jade and knew that what Grandpa Li Mei said was true, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

"Grandpa Li, can I ask how many ornaments can be carved out of half of this jade?"

What he wanted was to get a piece of jade for his parents and Mu Zixi, which would be soaked in both rain and dew, and no one would be able to pick it out.

However, this piece of jade was not very heavy, and he did not know how many ornaments it could be made into.

"It depends on the size of the jewelry." Grandpa Li Mei replied: "It's definitely not possible to make large items, but small items like pendants and jade plaques can still be made."

"I want to make a jade tablet and two pendants, okay?"

"Of course, it's just that the smaller the accessory, the more difficult it is to engrave, so you need to wait for a longer time and be prepared to fail the engraving."

"Do you think you can accept it?"

Ye Fan hesitated, he didn't know much about Grandpa Li Mei, he didn't know if he was deliberately shirking responsibility, or carving jade was really risky.

Li Mei was somewhat disappointed by Ye Fan's hesitation. If Wang Ke were here, he would definitely agree without saying a word.

"Ye Fan..."

"what's up?"

"Let my grandfather carve it for you. If the carving fails, I will pay you back."

Ye Fan was startled, but did not agree.

At the same time, Li Mei's words also prompted him to make a decision.

It's meaningless to gossip about success and failure in a sentence.

"Then please trouble Grandpa Li." Ye Fan cupped his hands.

Grandpa Li Mei's expression remained unchanged. In his eyes, this was just a trivial matter.

"Stay here for lunch?" Grandpa Li Mei said.

Ye Fan shook his head and refused, "No, the college entrance examination is coming soon, and time is tight."

Grandpa Li Mei didn't force it either, "You send me the style of the jewelry when the time comes, and I'll let Xiaomei contact you after the carving is finished."

"Thank you."

……

When going out, Ye Fan was holding half of the jade in his hand, which he asked Grandpa Li Mei to help cut.

The fracture is smooth and the texture is neat.

Ye Fan saw Grandpa Li Mei's cutting skills.My heart is half relieved.

It can be seen that Grandpa Li Mei has a relatively thorough grasp of the texture of jade, otherwise he would not be able to cut this effect.

In the yard, Lao Jiang was sweeping the floor in the yard. When Ye Fan saw Lao Jiang, he smiled and said hello.

"Young man." Old Jiang's voice came from behind.

Ye Fan stopped in his tracks, turned around and said, "What else is there for Grandpa Jiang?"

"It's nothing serious." Lao Jiang put down the broom and clapped his hands, "I'm bored, how about two tricks?"

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "No, the boy is not good at learning, so who is your old opponent?"

Lao Jiang smiled, "They are all martial arts practitioners, just to learn from each other. Are you afraid that I will touch porcelain?"

Ye Fan was silent.

Old Ginger: "..."

"Put down the jade, or don't blame me if you bump into it."

Ye Fan took a deep breath, knowing that this fight might not be avoided.

He put down the jade, and the two faced each other from a distance. Ye Fan clasped his fists and said, "I have accepted."

Old Jiang bowed back, posed casually, and said, "You attack first."

Ye Fan wasn't too polite, and with the help of his feet, the man had already rushed a long way.

When approaching Old Jiang, Ye Fan straightened his arms suddenly, spread his palms, and attacked the old man's shoulders.

"Don't ask me, use all your strength."

While speaking, Lao Jiang moved his footsteps a few times, luckily dodging Ye Fan's attack.

When Ye Fan's old strength was not broken and new strength was not born, Lao Jiang pulled Ye Fan's arm and drew an arc.

Ye Fan frowned, only felt a huge force coming from his arm, his body unconsciously stepped back a few steps, and the soles of his feet felt numb for a while.

"This?!" Ye Fan opened his eyes wide, "Tai Chi?"

Lao Jiang smiled and nodded, "My skills are not worth mentioning."

Ye Fan adjusted his breath, and his expression finally became serious. He always believed that Tai Chi is a boxing method for strengthening the body, but he didn't expect...

"Be careful."

The wind was blowing under Ye Fan's legs, and the sweeping leg had already been used. Lao Jiang moved his body, jumped up to avoid the sweeping leg, and at the same time stepped on Ye Fan's leg.

Ye Fan quickly retracted his legs, his arm resisted Lao Jiang's attack, and at the same time, the other hand grabbed Lao Jiang's ankle.

What he didn't expect was that Lao Jiang stepped on the soles of his arms and exerted force suddenly. With the help of the reaction force passed by him, the whole person completed a standard 360-degree turn.

Lao Jiang finished venting his strength in the air, but Ye Fanke felt uncomfortable, and his knees were under tremendous pressure.

His knees softened, and he couldn't help falling to the ground.

How does this work?Seeing that he was about to kneel down on one knee, Ye Fan gritted his teeth, rolled his body violently to the side, and performed a standard rolling dragon.

Although he looked embarrassed, fortunately, he didn't directly make a fool of himself.

Appreciation flashed in Old Jiang's eyes, "You have a good foundation, but your strength is too straight, and you haven't used it to the fullest."

Ye Fan let out a foul breath, but didn't make a sound, he was not very convinced.

"Come again!"

"thump…"

Get up from the ground, "Come again!"

"boom!"

……

Ye Fan discovered that the greater his strength, the greater the opponent's reaction force, which made him doubt life.

How could he not beat an old man with white beard and hair?

Lao Jiang stretched out his hand to pull up Ye Fan and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged. I have been practicing boxing with my master since I was a child. It has been more than thirty years. If you can achieve something small at this age, you are already better than most ordinary people." .”

Ye Fan sighed, cupped his hands and said: "The boy is not as skilled as others, so he is willing to bow down."

After finishing speaking, Ye Fan dusted off the dust on his body, picked up the jade, and said goodbye.

"Wait." Lao Jiang touched his bosom, took out a small broken notebook, handed it to Ye Fan and said, "This is my research on Taijiquan these years, and I may not be able to use it in the future. It is rare to meet someone with good talent." , I will give it to you now."

Lao Jiang stroked the little book lightly, his expression sighed, Chuanwu finally fell.

Back then, Wudang Shaolin, Bronze Head and Iron Palm... have all become acrobatics.

Ye Fan took the notebook and was dazed. It was the first time the two met, but the other party gave him such an expensive gift.

"Don't worry, I have no other purpose, I just want to pass it on. These days, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to practice martial arts."

"Maybe one day, Chuanwu will gradually withdraw from the stage of history, but I hope this day will come later."

Ye Fan pursed his lips, with a complicated look on his face. Traditional Chinese medicine, martial arts, sculpture...these skills, which used to be very popular, have almost lost their inheritance now.

"I will study hard."

Lao Jiang looked at Ye Fan's back, full of hope. After many years, he finally met a good seedling.

Master, you and I can rest in peace.

The heavy burden on his shoulders suddenly disappeared, and Lao Jiang smiled, as if he was more than ten years younger.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Tai Chi Jingyi.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the collection reward: goodwill +1000, title Tai Chi Disciple. "

Just as Ye Fan left, the system beeped, and several messages appeared in his mind.
