Oops, overslept!

The next day, at the appointed time, Zu Yu went to the Sculpture Association again, this time he went alone.

According to the agreement, Zu Yu packed all the jade stones that Cecil found and took them away, waiting for old Ronnie to choose by himself.

The small ones of these jades can only be used as a jade ring at most, while the big ones are taller than a person, but each piece is made of top-grade jade.

Now it can only be regarded as a rare but worthless stone.

It is impossible to say no to regret, but the subtle beauty of jade products is not admired by passionate alien races, and its cultural inheritance is almost lonely, so naturally fewer people know how to appreciate it.

But maybe it can pick up some more in the future, right?Not to mention anything else, there is aura in a good jade. Ordinary people will benefit physically and mentally after wearing it for a long time. People who practice can transform the energy in it, and as long as it does not absorb all the aura in the jade at once, It also recovers slowly for continued use.

When Zu Yu arrived at the Sculpture Association, old Ronnie was already there. He had his own studio in the association. When Zu Yu went to find him, the old man had already started working.

After changing out of formal attire, the old man in work attire and an apron sat there intently, carefully carving the white jade material in his hand. He was already very old, his face was full of wrinkles, and his hands were well-maintained. Very good, hardly any traces of age can be seen.

The old Ronnie who was engrossed didn't notice his arrival at all. Zu Yu didn't disturb him. Instead, he admired the work in the studio first, and then turned back to stare at the jade slips carved by the old Ronnie.

As old Ronnie said yesterday, today's engraving tools are more practical than Zu Yu thought, or the jade plaque has been processed in advance. Outline the desired pattern.

Zu Yu quietly watched as Lao Luo Ni finished carving a "jade" character. With his eyesight beyond ordinary people, he could clearly see the formation contained in this jade character, so he could naturally see that Lao Luo Ni's carving lines are clear and clear, exactly the same as the jade slips in his hand, without any mistakes or omissions.

"You're here." Old Ronnie, who was about to take a rest after carving a character, stood up and stretched his muscles, turned his head and saw Zu Yu.

He didn't know how long Zu Yu had been here, he only vaguely remembered that someone called him teacher before, but he forgot it because he was busy with work.

"I forgot the time when I got busy. I'm sorry, it's been a long time."

Zu Yu smiled, and didn't say that he had waited for more than an hour, just staring at the semi-finished product that old Ronnie put on the table: "Mr. Ronnie's craftsmanship is really good, this one is exactly the same as my original one, And it looks more spiritual."

He is not talking nonsense, although it is an imitation jade tablet, and it is still incomplete, but the agility that is almost coming out of the body seems to bring the words on it to life, but it has been imitated The jade slip is more like an imitation.

It’s okay to be praised for your good craftsmanship. Old Ronnie said with a smile on his face, “I love what you say. Wait, I’ll get you the finished one.”

He turned around and found Zu Yu's custom-made items in the cabinet on the side. The small jade slips were placed in the box. The fully-made jade slips were even better than the half-finished ones, let alone Zu Yu's hand. The piece can be compared.

This is probably also a matter of course, the piece in Zu Yu's hand was made by Haiya herself, she is not a professional sculptor, she also pays attention to the practicality of the formation, the craftsmanship is naturally not as good as that of old Ronnie, a professional sculptor.

Zu Yu took the milky white jade slip, his spiritual sense lightly swept over the jade slip, and it was easy to get inside.

His eyes brightened slightly: "Mr. Ronnie, thank you, this is what I want!"

"As long as you are satisfied."

Putting away the new jade slips, Zu Yu also took out all the jade stones that he brought, large and small jade stones were immediately piled up all over the floor.

"These are all the jades I have in my hand. Teacher, which one do you want?"

When old Ronnie saw those jade stones, he couldn't even blink his eyes.

He walked back and forth among the pile of jade obsessively, looking back and forth, touching it a few times from time to time, as if he saw some peerless treasure.

Old Ronnie has never touched jade before, and some of the occasional photos are just information photos. Most of them are jade videos of jade bracelets and pendants handed down from the earth age. Occasionally, some ornaments are also exquisitely crafted. Well, good-looking is good-looking, but it doesn't fit his aesthetics very well, so he never thought of finding some unprocessed jade stones back.

Now that he has seen so many jade stones of different shapes and colors, he realizes that this kind of stone that is highly praised by China is so amazing.

Even their seemingly messy lines reveal a natural beauty.

Seeing them, his inspiration gushed out, and he seemed to be able to see how each piece of jade was carved here, not jewelry, but pictures.

Landscapes, flowers, birds and figures, all the themes he can think of can be carved out of them, which makes him more impulsive than other gems.

Old Ronnie wished he could keep all the jade stones and carve them slowly, but in the end he only chose a washbasin-sized piece of white and green jade, with dark green in it.

This piece of jade is not the largest among these jades, nor is it the best in appearance, but it has a lot of spiritual energy, and this spiritual energy makes it look full of vitality, like a pine forest in the mountains after snowfall, with a sense of ease and refreshment.

"I was inspired when I saw it. I can't help but want to move my hands." Old Ronnie touched the selected piece of jade and couldn't put it down. He had already sketched a beautiful view of the mountains and forests in his mind. Block material carving.

Old Ronnie is a gemstone carver, but only a few of the gemstones he carves are used to make ornaments, and more are used as various works of art. This jade is exactly what he wants.

He was even a little annoyed, why did he know that there was such a material a long time ago, but because he didn't appreciate Huaxia's toads, bats, cabbage and other sculptures, he felt that they were too rigid, so he never thought about getting a piece of rough stone back to himself Thinking about it.

After Zu Yu saw that he had chosen his favorite jade, his old eyes couldn't help but keep looking at other jades, so he said: "Mr. Ronnie, if you like it, you can choose a few more. Anyway, I will keep these jades." It's useless."

Although the value of jade in Zu Yu's heart is not ordinary, but this is in the federation, the jade here is really worthless, there is no other use for jade besides making various jewelry and handicrafts, but the federation race is not very able to appreciate jade Mei, now seeing someone he likes, he is naturally happy too.

Old Ronnie refused to accept it no matter what. Although he didn't know the saying that you don't get paid for nothing, you understand the truth.

He shook his head: "I've already taken a piece of jade from you, so don't be too greedy."

But he still couldn't help staring at the few pieces of jade he liked. The one that could be used to carve a figure like a model would be his wife, and she would definitely like it; the one that could be used to carve a city sunrise, the one A piece of red is really good; ah, that one is even better, it is a living green planet!

Seeing his greedy look, Zu Yu felt that the old man was really cute. When he met his sweetheart, the serious and steady feeling he saw at first disappeared, like a child who saw candy but couldn't eat it.

He thought about it, and said to old Ronnie: "Why don't you think about it, teacher? I'm actually interested in carving, but I don't have any foundation, and I'm not familiar with those tools. Can you teach me? It doesn't take too long. There are many, just teach me how to use those tools? These few pieces of jade should be regarded as learned."

What he was talking about was the few pieces of jade that old Ronnie valued. Although he said that jade was worthless now, because of its worthlessness, no one mined it even if there were veins, which made it rare.

If old Ronnie wanted to accept apprentices, he would naturally refuse. He had already taught many apprentices, and he had already said that he would no longer accept apprentices. Although Zu Yu was quite likable, accepting apprentices was Another story.

But just to teach how to use tools, that's okay.

The reason why Zu Yu wants to learn this is naturally because he can't engrave a formation in the future and has to ask someone to help him. Naturally, it is more convenient to learn it by himself, and he has no plans to make the formation public at present. Naturally If it can be kept secret, it will be kept secret. As for whether it will be made public in the future, we will have to wait and see.

One of the two wanted to learn carving, and the other wanted jade, so they hit it off right away. Zu Yu left him the few pieces of jade that Old Ronnie valued, and put away the rest, and asked Old Ronnie to help him choose a set. the right tool.

"I'm not familiar with this either, so I can only trouble you."

Old Ronnie said with a smile: "Since you call me teacher, I can't even help you with this matter."

Although this "teacher" is not the other "teacher", and old Ronnie does not accept apprentices, he also automatically regards Zu Yu as a student.

And he felt that after collecting so much jade from Zu Yu, it was right to help him find a suitable set of tools.

Zu Yu also smiled and said, "Cecil has a jade mine in his hand. If you still want jade, when the goods arrive, I will send a batch for you to choose."

"How embarrassing." Old Ronnie was really happy to see Liexin. He was a little tired of carving gems, but now he has new inspiration after seeing jade. I am afraid that he will love this material for a long time. .

But if he is himself, it may not be so easy to find good jade materials, after all, no one is digging these things now.

Now Zu Yu's words naturally moved him quite a bit.

"It doesn't matter, I like these myself, as long as you don't dislike the ones I picked and left."

If there is a jade that he also likes, Zu Yu naturally wants to keep it for himself, he is not generous enough to take care of others first.

Moreover, these jades are not free for old Ronnie, and Zu Yu has checked before, and found that old Ronnie is indeed a very famous and respected master carver, if he uses jade to carve, the works After it comes out, it should also change a group of people's views on jade, and improve the situation that no one cares about jade now.
