"What..." Meng Ping looked at the thing in his hand in confusion.

This is said to be a wooden box, but the seams are very smooth. If he hadn't made some decoration, he would even think it was a wooden block.

The lid was very tight, and the buckle seemed to be a mechanism. Meng Ping thought about it for a while before he found the trick and opened it.

Then he was stunned.

A piece of white velvet was placed in the wooden box, and through the velvet, an jade ornament was buckled into the depression in the box.

It carved a cat, which was a bit fat and a bit fierce. Its design was very clever. Its ice-type floating flowers, so the sculptor used jade-colored floating flowers as the fur color of the cat, and showed it vividly.

Meng Ping almost immediately recognized it as the tabby cat named Dachun in the yard outside!

At the same time, he also recognized the water color of this jade. Needless to say, it was the one he saw Xu Wen who opened out of the rough stone yesterday.

After going around, it was carved into shape and returned to his hands.

"It's good carving, thank you teacher?" Meng Ping suddenly smiled and began to look at its carving with an scrutiny.

After a few glances, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Wen on the other side of the workbench. After a while, he slowly walked over and watched his movements through the glass door.

In just a few minutes, Xu Wen entered, the stone ball had basically taken shape and saw its round shape!

About half an hour later, Xu Wen walked out of the glass compartment, patted the lime on his hand, handed him the work he had just finished, and handed him the original sample.

If the stones used as raw materials are not somewhat different, Meng Ping may not even recognize the difference between the two.

They are the same material, the same size, and are extremely round, without a trace of ups and downs or chisels. It is impossible to see that they were completed with only the most basic tools.

After a while, Meng Ping's eyes finally moved away from the stone ball and asked, "Do you know how long I have been doing this sample?"

"It should be about the same time." Xu Wen said.

"Then do you know how long it took for me to use it when I first tried this?" Meng Ping asked again.

This time Xu Wei couldn't answer, so he shook his head.

"Three years." Meng Ping replied.

Xu Wen didn't say anything.

"I gave you this task today. I originally wanted to give you a warning and let you know that the eight methods of Meng characters are not that simple. Only by practicing the eight methods of Meng characters to the realm of transformation can you complete such a ball. When you try it out for the first time, you will clearly feel this. Unexpectedly..." Meng Ping looked at Xu Wen, his eyes very complicated, "There are always some people in this world who will break through your imagination..."

Xu Wen still didn't say anything.

In Meng Ping's view, he only learned the Eight Methods of Meng's Characters yesterday, and today he was able to achieve this level, probably a real genius.

But only he himself knew that this was not the case. After returning yesterday, he used Xu Zhai’s special time situation to practice the eight methods of Meng characters repeatedly until he turned this newly learned skill into the skill he mastered.

He didn't know how long it would take, but it was definitely not as simple as Meng Ping thought.

In fact, talent also requires sweat to accumulate. Even his master, Tianqing, has never seen him have any time he is idle.

Either thinking or practicing, only by doing this little by little can one create the legendary amazing talents.

However, Xu Zhai's situation was indeed special, so he could not explain it to Meng Ping, so he had to misunderstand it.

"Did you carved this yesterday?" Meng Ping didn't worry much. He raised the cat carved from jade and asked.

"Yes, after practicing, the carving skills are not good, so please give me some advice," Xu Wen said.

"The carving is good, and the idea is very clever, especially the use of natural floating flowers as the fur color, which is particularly outstanding. However, the carving is a bit awkward and a little hesitant." Meng Ping was very strict.

"Yes. I need to practice more." Xu Wen said.

"I'll accept this. You have raw stones, right? There is another piece of jade that should be hidden in it. You can carve it for me again, and it will be better than this one." Meng Ping said bluntly.

The jade he gave to Xu Wen was nakedly saying that he wanted to take it back and carve it before taking it back.

But Xu Wen seemed to think this was very normal. He Zheng pointed his head and replied again.

"You have learned the eight methods of Meng's character and don't need to practice them any more. Next, I will teach you the Mengjiayang Pingshi." Meng Ping walked to a display stand, took off a stone sculpture on it, took it to the glass workshop, and placed it on the stage.

Meng Ping taught very carefully, and Xu Wen learned very quickly.

The Meng family has a total of twenty-four types of carvings, twelve types of brick carvings, and twelve types of stone carvings, all derived from the eight methods of Meng character. They are detailed and in-depth for different stones and brick materials.

Meng Ping had no reservations and told all the skills he passed down from his family and what he had learned throughout his life, which was more dedicated than a true master and disciple.

Xu Wen knew this was a rare opportunity and studied very seriously.

The more he learned, the more surprised he became. The Meng family stone sculpture is worthy of being one of the seven charades in the garden. It is not only unique, but also profound!

It includes many different techniques from ancient times to the present, from south to north, and even many foreign techniques, which can be said to be eclectic and insignificant.

Moreover, on this basis, Meng Ping also introduced some modern tools and techniques to integrate them with tradition, so that the accuracy and efficiency of sculptures can be further reached a new level.

Xu Wen's skills came from another world, and he wanted to try to avoid using modern tools.

But after Meng Ping explained a little, he discovered the benefits and advanced nature of doing this. After thinking deeply, he still started to learn.

The happiest thing for a good teacher is to meet good students. Xu Wen learned seriously and had an understanding, and Meng Ping was also very happy to teach.

Soon, he discovered something amazing.

Such a complex skill will definitely not be taught in one day.

The day after Xu Wenqiu came, Meng Ping finished talking about four of the twelve stone carving methods and asked Xu Wen to go back to practice and come back tomorrow.

At that time, Xu Wen had already understood all these four techniques and learned them, but they were obviously very awkward when carved, and there were still many shortcomings.

Meng Ping was thinking about letting him practice for a while when he came tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Wen came here the next day, he had learned these four techniques very well, reaching the level of his eight methods of Meng character!

Meng Ping was speechless. Xu Wen was indeed talented, but he had been able to reach this level after all, after all, he went back to practice all night.

Although it is still amazing to be able to reach this level in such a short time of practice, isn’t it even more rare to have such talent and work so hard?

Meng Ping saw it and remembered it in his heart, but his attitude towards Xu Wen was not gentle, but was more harsh than before.

Xu Wen didn't mind at all, and became more and more serious. He made rapid progress with the four methods of daily life. He learned it during the day and could fully master it when he went back at night. Meng Ping was surprised at first, but later he didn't mention this matter again - he was already used to it.
Chapter completed!
