Lin Yue nodded and said: "I used to study art design, and I am very interested in things that are full of beauty and spirituality. I think carving is magical. In the hands of a carver, anything can be turned into something extremely beautiful in the world.

Especially when it is spiritualized by people, it is even more moving. I think it is a wonderful thing for something like wood or jade to turn into a beautiful person or object little by little in your own hands."

Chang Tai nodded when he heard this. Interest is the motivation for learning, but he doesn't know how long this interest can last. Many people have temporary interests, and will give up when they know that there is an extremely boring process. Such people will

Saw a lot.

He Changhe was listening to the conversation between an old man and a young man and didn't know how to interrupt. The other party's choice of apprentice was not something he could intervene in. It was the other party's business to accept or not accept it. He could only play the role of threading the needle.

"Well. It seems that you are quite interested in sculpture. Have you ever learned sculpture before?" Chang Tai asked again.

Lin Yue shook his head with a hint of regret on his face and said: "No, after graduating from college, I wanted to learn but there was no one to teach me. Later I entered a jade processing workshop, where the jade jewelry was made not by manual carving but by machines. At that time, I felt

It’s very awkward, jade was originally a spiritual thing but they turned it into a dead thing.”

"What did you do before?"

"The stone-cutting workers in the processing workshop are now working in He Lao's Ronglexuan."

At this time, He Changhe appropriately interjected: "Although Lin Yue is young, he has the best stone-breaking technology in our factory."

"Oh? So your eyes and your command of the saw blade are very good?" At this time, Chang Tai's eyes finally showed a little interest.

"It's okay. Mr. He said that there is still a big gap between me and the real masters of Jie Shi." Lin Yue said a little embarrassed. He didn't dare to say big words in front of two master-level people.

Chang Tai nodded when he heard this, very satisfied with Lin Yue's humble attitude, and then said: "Can I see your hands?"

"Hands?" Lin Yue was stunned and didn't understand what Chang Tai meant for a while, but he still stood up and walked to Chang Tai, looking deeply at his hands.

Lin Yue's hands are very slender and extremely white. They don't look like hands that a man should have. I don't know how many girls are envious of his hands. Many girls sighed loudly after seeing him posing with his hands.

My hands were born to the wrong person," which made Lin Yue very embarrassed.

When Chang Tai saw Lin Yue's slender hands, he couldn't help but a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Then he moved Lin Yue's fingers, and then smiled and motioned for Lin Yue to sit back.

After that, Chang Tai never mentioned the carving and kept talking about home affairs with He Changhe and Lin Yue. The three of them chatted until the morning, and then had lunch together at Chang Tai's house. Li Qingmeng was accompanying him, although there were two

The elders were there, but there was still no smile on her face. Only occasionally a warm color flashed in her eyes, just like an ice sculpture that had not been painted for thousands of years, but with a little human emotion.

Like an ordinary and kind old man, Chang Tai drank and chatted with He Changhe. From time to time, he told Lin Yue and Li Qingmeng some of his experiences in life and life. The meal was enjoyable, but Lin Yue's psychology was very troublesome.

bitter.

Chang Tai's attitude made Lin Yue feel very depressed. Aren't his hands suitable for carving? Why has he never mentioned carving since he saw his hands?

It wasn't until they were about to say goodbye at two o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Yue felt a little hope in his heart, because he was called into the study alone by Chang Tai.

Chang Tai didn't talk nonsense and said: "Learning sculpture is not something that can be accomplished in a day. Can you endure the pain?"

"Yes!" Lin Yue nodded firmly, with a hint of expectation in his heart.

"Don't be so arrogant. The pain involved is not something that ordinary people can understand. Only those who have experienced it will know. Since you want to learn sculpture, it means you like this. You need to know that sculpture is firstly an art, and secondly, it is your means of making a living.

, if you put the cart before the horse, even if you enter the carved door, you will not be able to truly enter the house." Chang Tai's tone became very stern after speaking.

Lin Yue nodded solemnly, he would never let Tongxi let us master this art. Anyway, he would rely on his supernatural powers to gamble on stones in the future, and he would have plenty of money, so he would not need to use carving to make money.

"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. I'll give you a way. When you get home, put a lighted ordinary incense stick upright in your room at night. You take a knife, no matter what kind of knife it is, and don't turn on the light.

, when it is completely dark and only the incense is lit, you use a knife to chop the incense stick. Give you one month. At least six out of ten knives must hit the incense stick. Otherwise, we are both destined to have no connection. One month later

Come to my house today and I will test your results."

Using a knife to chop ordinary incense in total darkness at night?

At least six out of ten hits must hit?

Give one month?

Lin Yue looked at Chang Tai in disbelief. This was a test for him. Isn't this trying to force someone to do something difficult?

It’s impossible for anyone to do it in such a short period of time, within a month!

Lin Yue suddenly felt that his dream was getting further and further away from him. Is it so difficult to learn sculpture by himself?

But soon, Lin Yue recovered from his heavy depression. It was a big deal. Since the other party said that, someone must be able to practice it within a month, otherwise it means that the other party did not want to accept him as a disciple at all. Since

I don’t know why I have to go through such a big detour, so the second possibility is not true, so there is only one possibility.

Since some people can succeed, Lin Yue is confident that he can succeed too.

He nodded heavily towards Chang Tai and said, "Okay, I'll come back in a month."

Chang Tai glanced at Lin Yue in surprise, wondering why Lin Yue agreed so readily, and then said calmly:

"Don't tell that old man He Changhe about this. If he finds out, you won't stand a chance!"

Hearing what Chang Tai said was serious, Lin Yue nodded.

Soon, Lin Yue left Chang Tai's home with He Changhe.

On the way, He Changhe saw Lin Yue looking slightly depressed, so he asked, "Did that old man say anything to you in the study?"

"I didn't say anything, just chatting casually." Lin Yue clearly remembered the agreement he made with Chang Tai.

"Just a casual chat?" He Changhe glanced at Lin Yue thoughtfully, smiled slightly, and then stopped asking.

After He Changhe and Lin Yue left, Chang Tai was reading alone in the study. At this time, Li Qingmeng walked in from outside with a cup of tea.

"Teacher, please drink some water."

Li Qingmeng put the tea on the side of the desk and was about to retreat when he heard Chang Tai ask: "Qingmeng, do you know what Old Man He and that young man are here for?"

Li Qingmeng shook his head, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Haha, he's here to become a disciple, but whether I will accept him or not depends on his performance in a month."

Chang Tai picked up the tea cup and took a sip. There was a meaningful look in his eyes outside the window.

Li Qingmeng next to him still looked unfazed and just nodded lightly.

Along the way, Lin Yue was always thinking about Chang Tai's words. He put a burning incense stick in the dark and struck it with a knife. He hit at least six out of ten strikes. Can he really do it? And how should he do it?

Lin Yue rehearsed chopping incense with a knife back and forth in his mind. The more he tried to hit it, the more he failed to hit it. This made his hope, like a candle in the wind, on the verge of being extinguished at any time.

Lin Yue sighed heavily, forget it, he will go to Chang Tai's house to explain the situation in a month at most, but before that he will try his best and do his best.

Soon they arrived at the intersection where Lin Yue got on the car. Lin Yue walked slowly out of the car. Just when he was about to say goodbye to He Changhe, He Changhe rolled down the glass of the car. He said meaningfully to Lin

Yue said: "No matter what you do, just try your best. If you and Lao Chang really don't have a fate, it won't mean anything. The worst is to find another master. There are thousands of capable people in China, and there will always be a master suitable to teach you. Also

One point, it’s up to the individual to lead him to practice. No matter how good the teacher is, it won’t work if you don’t rely on yourself to study and study. The most important thing to learn some sculptures is not Lao Chang but yourself.”

He Changhe's words were like enlightenment, awakening Lin Yue from his confusion.
