Chapter 183: Chapter 183: the fire burns and the wood carving appears
Ning Fei was still carving.
From the morning, six to seven hours had passed. Except for a short urination on the vast prairie, Ning Fei did not rest.
Of course, when he urinated, he avoided the drone images.
The rules of the city were different from the rules of the wild. There were no toilets here. There were all toilets here.
The carving was still going on.
The netizens could already see a rough outline.
In the picture, it seemed like two birds were spreading their wings and spiraling into the sky.
The outline was a little rough. The connecting point of the carving was at the bottom and the wings. It was very secretive. It looked like the two birds were really flying in the sky.
Ning Fei was very confident. He leisurely continued to work, as if he was completing a great piece of art.
“I really can’t tell what this is. It’s too blurry.”
“It seems to be two birds.”
“Mandarin Ducks?”
“Maybe this is just the first step of carving. After making a mold, the rest will be done meticulously.”
......
“That makes sense. This is just the beginning. Art needs time.”
“Right, let’s Wait a little longer.”
Ning fei used the carving knife to draw the lines from the top down.
Finally, after doing all this, Ning Fei wiped the sweat off his forehead and muttered to himself,
“Alright, it’s done.”
“It’s done?”
When the netizens heard Ning Fei’s words, they were a little stunned.
“This is the finished product?”
“It’s a little funny.”
“I also feel that something isn’t quite right.”
Ning Fei’s carving technique was quite special. Many wood chips and fine pieces of wood that had been refined into a whole were still left on it, so the netizens couldn’t see many of the details.
Then, Ning Fei smiled confidently and said,
“Don’t blink, everyone. Next, it’s time to witness a miracle.”
When the netizens heard this, their interest was instantly piqued.
Then, they saw Ning Fei take out a fire stick from his tool bag. When the netizens saw the fire stick, they were all stunned.
Fire Stick?
Fire?
What was he going to do?
The wood carving was connected as one, and there was a layer of wood chips at the bottom.
It was a very thin piece of wood that was bent and curled into small pieces.
Such sawdust was very flammable, just like a thin layer of toilet paper.
Then, what everyone didn’t expect was that Ning Fei actually placed the flame of the ignition stick on the sawdust at the bottom.
This scene made all the netizens unable to help but widen their eyes.
Fire was the natural nemesis of wood, especially this kind of wood shavings. It was simply the best combustion medium.
A faint flame rose from the bottom of the wood carving.
The flame was not intense.
This kind of wood shavings only burned for a moment before it disappeared without a trace, turning into ashes and disappearing.
Following that, the fire started to spread upwards bit by bit.
From the bottom up, it was as if there was a line pulling this kind of flame.
The speed of the upward burning was neither fast nor slow, but where the flame burned, the fine patterns drawn by Ning Fei with the carving knife were completely revealed.
Every feather on the bird’s body was so fine, and the patterns and patterns on its wings were like works of art.
The flame continued to burn upwards.
It passed through the body, went straight to the top of the head, and burned to the highest point. The Nothingness of the flame jumped at the top for a moment, and then completely disappeared.
After the flames burned, the wooden sculpture finally revealed its true appearance.
These were two birds with exquisite feathers. They were leaning against each other and spiraling toward the sky.
Their eyes were looking at each other. The eyes of the wooden sculpture seemed to be able to see the feelings of loyalty and love toward the other party.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast were completely silent.
Only a deep shock remained in their minds.
These two birds were really too beautiful.
Their overall appearance was fluid and smooth. The birds spread their wings as if they were about to hug each other.
What kind of immortal artwork was this.
Then, the netizens paused for a moment before the bullet comments erupted like a tsunami.
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit!”
“Abbey Dean Ning is awesome!”
“I’m dumbfounded. What did I see?”
“Is this the realm of an Immortal?”
“I actually doubted abbey Dean Ning’s craftsmanship just now!”
“This video must be popular. It must definitely be popular. It’s too awesome.”
“This is too exaggerated. I feel so excited.”
“I can’t believe I’m able to see such a wonderful artistic creation in the live broadcast room. It’s amazing.”
The netizens expressed their admiration and admiration one after another.
This was because Ning Fei’s wood carving technique was really outstanding. It was simply amazing!
Not only was it the magical technique of revealing one’s true appearance after the flame, but what made the netizens even more amazed was that the two birds that were facing the sky really made the netizens feel a sincere feeling.
It was as if the wood carving that Ning Fei had carved really had a soul.
“Do you guys feel that those two birds seem to be alive?”
“I thought I was the only one who felt that way.”
“What’s going on?”
“My grandfather happens to be a wood carver. He has been carving wood for decades. I’ll go ask him.”
Everyone was still in shock.
Ning Fei looked at his work with satisfaction and carefully observed if there was anything that needed to be repaired.
The answer was no. Every part of his strength was just right.
At the same time, the Netizen who said that his grandfather was a wood carving craftsman really went to look for his grandfather.
“Grandfather, look at this video. There’s a powerful person who carved a wood carving. It’s simply godly!”Lin Hui excitedly ran in front of his grandfather, Lin Zhanwu, and said while holding his phone.
“There’s another powerful carving? Let Me See.”Lin Zhanquan was carving a golden toad. He put down the file in his hand and took the phone.
Now was the era of self-media. Many craftsmen would upload videos to the Internet. Craftsmen like them could also take a look at the works of their peers.
Lin Hui would often find some amazing wood carving works for Lin Zhanquan to comment on.
“Grandpa, this time is completely different. This person is too amazing!”Lin Hui exclaimed.
Lin Zhanquan did not say anything. He had seen many wood carving works on the internet before, but most of them were just superficial.
The layman watched the show, but the connoisseur knew the ropes. Ordinary netizens thought that the wood carvings were very domineering, but the connoisseur could tell how they were carved and what level they were at from the texture and lines.
“Is this the sculptor? He looks very young.”Lin Zhanquan shook his head.
In the field of carving, one couldn’t really carve anything without ten or twenty years of skill.
Some things indeed needed foundation.
The video Lin Zhanquan watched was the part where Ning Fei started the fire. When the flame slowly rose, the carving gradually revealed its true appearance. Lin Zhanquan’s expression became more and more serious.
“Nirvana by Fire?”
Lin Zhanquan muttered.
“This is the lost skill of wood carving: Nirvana by Fire?”
He was a little confused.
Soon after, the entire wood carving was revealed. Lin Zhanquan put on his glasses and carefully observed every detail of the carving.
“Amazing. This master’s detail handling is very impressive.”Lin Zhanquan enlarged his wings and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when he saw the patterns on them.
“Grandpa, what’s so amazing about it?”Lin Hui asked.
“It’s coherent and integrated. When he was carving, he strived to use the least amount of knives to carve the most exquisite workmanship. Therefore, a lot of wood chips are connected together and won’t fall off at all.”
“Moreover, his details are handled very well, and can even be evaluated with precision. There’s not a single flaw.”
Lin Zhanquan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“I’ve seen a lot of wood carvings, but in terms of details, there are no more than five people in China who can compare to him!”
“So Powerful?”Lin Hui’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“This is only one of them.”Lin Zhanquan looked at the whole carving again. The two birds were in the shape of soaring into the sky, as if they were about to fly up.
“The most powerful thing about this master is not just his powerful technique, but the fact that he can give this wood sculpture a kind of spirit, a kind of soul that belongs to the wood sculpture itself.”
“Powerful sculpting skills, the sculpture that is carved out has a spirit.”
“Carving a dragon, it is full of righteousness and soul-stirring, making people not dare to look directly at it; carving a tiger, it is like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, forcing back all living things, it can intimidate all beasts.”
“And this wood carving expresses the love between two birds and their vigorous vitality.”
“This person is really amazing!”
Hearing Lin Zhanquan’s evaluation, Lin Hui couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, feeling a little shocked.
It was the first time he had heard his grandfather give such a high evaluation.
“Grandfather, if this wood carving is sold, how much can it be worth?”Lin Hui thought for a moment and asked again.
The young man was still concerned about the value of the artwork.
Lin Zhanquan looked at it carefully and said,
“Good wood carvings, especially those with charm, are very valuable.”
“But the wood he uses is average, so the value has decreased a little.”
“If we really get those guys who like to collect wood carvings to come here, this wood carving will probably be sold for 1.5 million to 2 million.”
“How much? 2 million?”Lin Hui was dumbfounded when he heard Lin Zhanquan’s bid.
Didn’t this mean that Abbey Dean Ning’s work could be sold for 2 million a day!
This was too fierce.
“Which sect is this person from? Which School is his master from? How come I’ve never heard of such a powerful carving junior?”Lin Zhanquan asked.
“Grandpa, he’s just an outdoor streamer. He does live broadcasts, but he’s really amazing. He knows everything!”Lin Hui praised.
“Streamer?”Lin Zhanquan sighed. “He’s just a streamer. If he were in the sculpting industry, his position would probably be very terrifying.”
“He might even become the most powerful woodworker in China.”
“What a pity.”
