Devil Fruit of the City

You know, there is a set of strict procedures for stone carving, starting from the draft, then painting, rough carving, fine carving, smooth work (finishing), sanding, polishing, and finally waxing.

After such a pass, the sculptor spent a lot of effort to carve the originally featureless stone into a work of art that amazes the world. It can be said that every step is full of the sculptor's wisdom and labor results.

For example, when carving a lion, the first step is to determine the direction of the lion, determine which side is the tallest and which side is the longest, and then draw lines to position: head, body, legs and feet, etc.

Then enter the carving stage: first hit the lion seat.

After laying the base, use a crane or a pulley to lift the stone upside down, so that the lion seat faces down, and then carve the head. After the mouth and lips are in place, carve the teeth, nose...after the head is finished, and then carve body.  Urban Devil Fruit 268

Anyone who has seen stone lions knows that any stone lion can see the belly of the stone lion through the gap between the two front feet. In the words of experts, it is called "the front feet show the belly".

This is a very delicate craft link. The sculptor must grasp the height very skillfully and accurately when carving the forefoot, so as to ensure that "the forefoot shows the belly".

Immediately afterwards, from the feet to the legs, after the legs have a rudimentary shape, the back is beaten, the head is finely ground, and then the "hair" is embroidered. Smashing with a hammer, chiseling with a chisel, carving with a knife, grinding with gauze... Gradually, the head, body, and legs of the lion were exposed, and a lifelike lion emerged from a squatting stone...

After these complicated projects, a stone lion can really be carved out.

It is conceivable how difficult it is, but the kid actually said that he would do it at a glance, Nima, without any preparation, isn't that a complete underestimation of the skill of stone carving?

Of course, it’s not like no one has done this before. Some people simplify all these steps, without drawing lines, drawing pictures, or drafting. Keep it in mind, size, type, all in mind, all in one go.

When you see a squatting stone, you can see the squatting lion inside. Its height, size, fat and thinness, and appearance seem to be all clear, and the outline of the outline is redundant.

But that is something that only real top masters can do. In the eyes of these masters, there is a lion living in every rock... Naturally, there is no need to think about it.

But can you, a rookie who has only studied stone carving for a year, compare with other masters? I'm not afraid to say this and laugh at other people's big teeth.

"Mr. Tang, don't you really need to prepare any more? For example, it's good to draw a draft first." Jiang Heng couldn't help asking.

"No need." Tang Tianyou said with a smile, "I never draw sketches in carving, as long as you have something in your heart and eyes, then every time you cut, you don't need to think about it, and your body and knife skills will naturally follow your mind Flowing, constantly peeling away the excess stubborn stones, so that the beautiful images in it can be "naked" and displayed naturally, this is the highest art."

"Huh?" Jiang Heng was confused.

"To put it simply, I am not carving with a knife, but with my heart!" Tang Tianyou said earnestly, "Cumbersome and cold stones have spirituality, so every time I carve a stone, I am carving with my heart." Talk to the stone, communicate with it."

Carving with your heart?

Both Li Chengbin and Jiang Heng twitched, looking at Tang Tianyou with eyes as if they were looking at a fool. They both have the feeling of looking up at a mountain.

Alas, these days, thick-skinned people have food to eat. You, a rookie who has only learned stone carving for a year, dare to say that you are carving with your heart instead of using a knife. What an arrogant person! Say something like that.

Defeated, Li Chengbin and Jiang Heng were completely defeated. They both looked at Tang Tianyou as if they were defeated. This guy turned a blind eye to their previous contempt and ridicule. It's as if people can be enemies.

The thick skin is so thick that there is no cure.

Such a person can't be cured by words alone!  Urban Devil Fruit 268

"Hehe, Mr. Tang's realm is really high, we mortals just can't understand it." Hearing this, Jiang Heng forced a smile.

This guy is just too annoying, too wretched.

If it wasn't for the wrong place and the wrong time, he really wanted to make this kid's head full of flowers with a brick, so that you kid still dare to brag?

"This kind of state is indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. It took me a year of study before I gradually realized this profound truth." Tang Tianyou seemed to understand.

Nima, this kid is really mean, Jiang Heng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but after a while, he let it go helplessly, and kept hypnotizing himself in his heart. Chaotic conspiracy, I have to endure it, I have to endure it...

"Okay, I won't talk to you guys anymore, I'm going to start carving." Seeing Jiang Heng's aggrieved expression, Tang Tianyou chuckled secretly, and stopped teasing him.

Great, as long as this guy is carved, he will definitely show his feet, Jiang Heng burst into tears, he can finally drive away this plague god, he doesn't know if he continues to stay with this kid, he will not I can't help but beat him up. .

"Mr. Tang, I don't know what tools you need? I can get them for you." Li Chengbin was very active, and he couldn't wait to see Tang Tianyou make a fool of himself.

"Ping knife." Tang Tianyou affirmed, "When I carve stones, I only use flat knife."

What?

Only flat knives? !

General stone carving will use a lot of tools, such as: round knife, flat knife, oblique knife, triangular knife, jade bowl knife, axe, saw... and many other tools.

The reason why there are so many tools is also the reason why the stone itself is relatively hard. They will use round knives to arrange, flat knives to cut, triangular knives to polish and so on.

However, they have never heard of carving stone, they only use one tool! This is simply not possible.

Does this kid understand stone carving? Didn't you say that you have studied for a year? Hearing Tang Tianyou's words, Li Chengbin and Jiang Heng were completely dumbfounded.

Dumbfounded!

Li Chengbin and Jiang Heng were just dumbfounded, but Mr. Dong, who had a calm expression on his face, became angry. He was furious and could no longer calm down. It was so gloomy that it was almost dripping.

His "grandmother", the old man endured feces and urine, and he can't bear this kid anymore. If this brazen kid continues to be arrogant and insults the art of stone carving, he will definitely vomit blood from depression. Mr. Dong was originally a person with a bit of a temper, and Tang Tianyou's words simply ignited the powder keg.

He casually picked up a piece of broken stone, squeezed it lightly with his right hand, Mr. Dong looked at Tang Tianyou viciously, if he didn't smash your face with flowers this time, I wouldn't be Dong Guoan!

At this moment, a pretty face suddenly appeared at the warehouse door.
