Chapter 922 Lifelike
The Zhong Kui visualization was originally like a portrait, and it was a little abstract, but when Xia Ruofei sensed it with his spiritual sense, the portrait began to become three-dimensional and lifelike, as if it was a 2D picture all of a sudden. turned into a 3d one.
More importantly, Xia Ruofei could even feel the arrogance and righteousness of this Zhong Kui portrait, and it became clear what he hoped to express in this visualization.
There is no doubt that the works carved under such circumstances must be the most charming!
Xia Ruofei already had an idea in his mind, this visualization is so magical, the prototype used to make jade carvings is the best, since the image of Bao Gong can't be found, then don't use it, just use Zhong Kui and Master Guan's, and then look at it. Jade material planning, making several Guanyin jade carvings.
After making up his mind, Xia Ruofei visualized the images of Guan Gong and Guanyin Bodhisattva again, and after he understood it in his heart, he took out the spiritual picture scroll, and entered the spiritual picture space with a thought.
When he picked up the rare black jadeite again, he was no longer so at a loss, and he had a certain confidence in his heart.
This kind of natural jade is definitely irregular, so how to plan is also a knowledge, to find the best arrangement and combination, in order to maximize the utilization rate.
Although Xia Ruofei has no experience in this area, his brain is much faster than ordinary people, and his computing power is far beyond ordinary people. In addition, he has a deep understanding of the content to be engraved, so he quickly constructed a prototype out.
Some raised irregular parts on the black jadeite can be used as part of the jade carving if they are used well. It only needs a little carving. Only when these details are taken into account, can this jadeite be used to its advantage. Extreme.
So Xia Ruofei was not in a hurry, but repeatedly pondered the structure of the entire jadeite until he understood every detail, and then began to deduce it quickly.
Finally, Xia Ruofei took out a red marker and began to draw lines on the jadeite surface.
After double-checking it several times, Xia Ruofei took out the carving knife, poured the infuriating energy into it, and cut the jadeite piece without hesitation.
Because he had deduced it many times in his mind, Xia Ruofei was very decisive when he took down the knife. After a while, the jadeite was divided into a dozen pieces of different sizes by him.
According to Xia Ruofei's calculation, this piece of jadeite can carve 8 Zhong Kui statues, 6 Guan Gong statues, and 5 Guanyin statues. In addition, the remaining scraps can also be made into at least 3 pairs of bead chains, some ring faces, earrings and other gadgets .
After dividing,
Xia Ruofei picked up a piece of black jade, and just glanced at it, it was clear that this piece of jade was what he was going to use to carve the statue of Guan Gong.
He silently revisited Guan Gong's visualization several times, and then concentrated on the first knife...
Jade turned back and forth in his hand, and fell down with a knife without error, and the image of a Guan Gong soon took shape.
Xia Ruofei has a complete set of jade carving tools, including carving knives, files, etc. of various knife-edge specifications, but because of the infuriating energy that goes nowhere, a medium-sized ordinary carving knife can basically meet all carving needs. He only occasionally changed tools once or twice during the entire carving process, which is the small details that the commonly used carving knife cannot complete.
Xia Ruofei's every knife is just right, not only does it reproduce the image of Guan Gong in the visualization picture, but also the accuracy is almost 100%, there is no excess, even the leftovers cut out are the result of his deduction. the same.
You must know that these scraps of different sizes are also useful. If there is a deviation in the lower knife and you need to make up a knife or two, the scraps there will inevitably become very small and broken, and cannot be reused at all.
But under Xia Ruofei's incomparably precise control, such a situation is impossible.
After Guan Gong's image took shape, Xia Ruofei began to sculpt the details.
In this process, all the scraps cut by the knife are scraps, because they are all very small pieces of jade.
But Xia Ruofei didn't waste it. He directly controlled the spiritual map space with his mind and absorbed them all. Although for the upgrade, this little bit of jade can be said to be not even a drop in the bucket, but Xia Ruofei has no habit of waste.
After a while, a lifelike statue of Guan Gong appeared in Xia Ruofei's hands, with a handsome beard, a domineering Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and the iconic Danfeng Eyes lying on silkworm eyebrows...
The most rare thing is that at the moment when the whole jade carving is completed, it seems to have a charm all of a sudden. It is obviously just a lifeless jade carving, but it seems to have a kind of arrogant, heroic and fearless temperament, which makes people unable to help but feel respect.
Xia Ruofei took this Guan Gong statue and admired it for a while, and was very satisfied.
He has also carved some things before, including a Doraemon pendant for Song Wei. Although they are all very realistic, they cannot reach the level of Guan Gong's jade carving.
This is the role of the visualization map. Xia Ruofei visualized the image of Guan Gong, and then restored the charm on the jade carving, and the effect is naturally better.
After a short rest, he picked up another jadeite embryo.
Because it is relatively easy to carve this Guan Gong statue, and he already has a feeling, so Xia Ruofei simply continues to carve Guan Gong statue.
It took about ten hours, and there were 6 lifelike Guan Gong jade carvings around Xia Ruofei. At the same time, there were a bunch of leftovers of different sizes, all of which were carefully collected by Xia Ruofei.
Because there is thirty times the flow rate of time in the early Yuan Dynasty, Xia Ruofei didn't even have the space to leave the spiritual map, so he continued to carve the remaining jade embryos.
When he was sleepy, he would take a nap on the reclining chair. When he was tired, he would come to the Spatial Spirit Pool. When he was hungry, he would just eat some biscuits to deal with it.
Thanks to him being a cultivator, he was able to support such a high-intensity work.
Physical fatigue is second. This kind of jade carving work is more labor-intensive. If you are mentally exhausted, if you shake your hand a little, a priceless jade carving may be abolished.
These problems are naturally not a problem for Xia Ruofei, whose spiritual power has reached the spiritual stage.
Of course, to be cautious, he would drink some Spiritual Heart Flower Petal Solution to recover after he had consumed some of his mental power. At the same time, he also paid attention to the combination of work and rest. After carving a jade carving, he would take a proper rest.
In this way, Xia Ruofei spent four or five days in the early Yuan realm of the spiritual map space before he finished carving all the jade.
There are 8 statues of Zhong Kui, 6 statues of Guan Gong, 5 statues of Guanyin, and 4 bead chains. Each jade bead on this bead chain is hand-polished by Xia Ruofei, the size is the same, and the beads are round, just like a machine made the same.
In addition, Xia Ruofei also used some slightly larger leftovers to make 3 pairs of earrings, 5 small pendants and 9 ring faces.
The shapes of these trinkets are also scientifically designed according to the size and shape of the leftovers, such as drop-shaped, leaf-shaped, heart-shaped, etc. Although not many jadeites are used, each pair is a treasure.
Seeing that the black jadeite in his hands turned into these jade objects that can be called works of art, Xia Ruofei was also full of a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, his work is only half finished. Next step, he still has to draw patterns on the inside of each jade according to the characteristics of each jade.
But Xia Ruofei didn't plan to do it all at once today.
As a result, his continuous fighting spirit is also relatively exhausted. The sculpting of the pattern is also a task that requires a high degree of energy and concentration, even more laborious than carving jade.
Second, it is necessary to think carefully about what kind of pattern to draw, and also to deduce and practice in advance, and start to draw when there is a greater degree of confidence. This is really not something that can be done in a while.
Xia Ruofei didn't have any urgent needs, and he was going to use these jade articles soon, so after finishing the carving work, he left the spiritual map space.
Even with thirty times the flow rate of time, Xia Ruofei stayed in the spiritual map space for so long, and more than three hours had passed in the outside world. At this time, the outside time was more than one o'clock in the morning.
So Xia Ruofei went straight to bed after taking a bath.
...
The next morning, Xia Ruofei didn't make breakfast by himself, but got up early to practice for a while. Now that he has a lot of spirit crystals, he doesn't need to practice.
By seven o'clock, Xia Ruofei had finished washing up, dressed neatly, went downstairs, and went directly to the company canteen for breakfast.
Xia Ruofei "disappeared" for more than ten days, but the employees didn't feel that they were all used to the chairman being the boss.
However, Feng Jing, who didn't know that Xia Ruofei was back, was startled when she saw Xia Ruofei sitting in the corner of the cafeteria and drinking porridge.
She rubbed her eyes and took a few more glances, only to be sure that it wasn't her dazzling eyes.
Feng Jing walked to the opposite side of Xia Ruofei with a dinner plate and sat down, and then asked with a half-smile, "Comrade Chairman, are you finally willing to come back?"
Xia Ruofei drank the porridge in a rush, then went to a tissue to wipe his mouth, then reached out and picked up a fried dough stick, dipped it in the soy milk, and took a big bite.
Then he said inarticulately while chewing: "Mr. Feng, it's been hard work and hard work..."
Feng Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw Xia Ruofei's cheeky appearance.
Seeing her strange expression, Xia Ruofei asked again, "Mr. Feng, is there anything wrong with the company these days when I'm not at home?"
"No!" Feng Jing was a little puzzled.
"Isn't it over?" Xia Ruofei took another big bite of fritters and continued, "This means that I am not here, and your work is still done very well! It also means that you have lived up to my trust!"
Feng Jing took a bite of the buns and said, "Anyway, you are right? You are the boss!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Sister Jing, I know you've worked hard! For an incompetent boss like me, please bear with me..."
Xia Ruofei's "Sister Jing" made Feng Jing feel soft. She also knew that with Xia Ruofei's temperament, it was impossible for him to be tied to the chairman's post.
So Feng Jing sighed and said: "Okay... I don't blame you, but you have been out for a long time this time... Don't run outside this morning! I need to report to you about the work during this time. a bit."
"Don't worry! I'm not going anywhere this morning!" Xia Ruofei said.
"It's almost the same!" Feng Jing glanced at Xia Ruofei and said.
At this time, another figure walked into the cafeteria and went straight to the window for the meal.
Xia Ruofei looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.
