Chapter 372

A month later, SHUSHUI ancient town.

SHUSHUI ancient town, located in the south, is a quiet, elegant and humanistic town.

In a small shop in an antique Town, a new boss was welcomed at this time.

The boss is young and handsome. The most rare thing is that he has a unique temperament and is full of a sense of vicissitudes inconsistent with his age.

The shop is a newly opened wood carving shop, but the boss is very casual. The shop opened without a big bang, so it opened in obscurity.

The boss is even lazy all day. He doesn't like to entertain guests and never cares about the coldness of business.

And the price of wood carvings in his shop is outrageous, and he never wanted to cater to the market.

This is the reason why few people pay attention to this wood carving shop.

The owners of other shops around shook their heads and said that the wood carving shop would close at a loss sooner or later.

The owner of the wood carving shop still goes his own way and doesn't care about external comments.

The boss is no one else. It is Zhang Yi who traveled here.

Zhang Yi came to this SHUSHUI ancient town from Yue city and planned to live here for a while, waiting for the opportunity to reappear.

He made a pot of tea every morning, and then began to carve until late at night. He only took a break during dinner.

In his previous life, after Zhang Yi entered the cultivation world, he taught himself wood carving in memory of his hometown of the earth.

Zhang Yi, who once lived in a previous life, has carved all kinds of magical trees for hundreds of years. His works even reached the point of being familiar with the great road, and were once popular among major departments. He was proud to get Zhang Yi's works.

Now, as soon as he is free, Zhang Yi will inevitably feel itchy, so he takes this opportunity to resume his old business, which should also be a memory of his previous life.

On this day, several unusual guests came to Zhang Yi's shop.

The first old man was about sixty, with thick reading glasses and long hair and beard. He smelled like a scroll, but his hands were very strong and had a thick calluses, just like working all year round.

With him were several young men and women, college students.

Zhang Yi treats guests equally.

He was still meditating on carving, unwilling to entertain guests, but still let them watch at will.

The leading old man was still quiet, but the men and women who looked like college students kept talking:

"Unexpectedly, there is a wood carving shop here, and it is still hand carved! This is very rare in this era full of computer carving! "

"I don't know the level of wood carving here. Can it enter the eyes of our famous art students?"

"You see, the owner of this shop is very young. I'm afraid his level will not be high."

"Yes, this time we followed Professor Guo, who is a famous wood carving master in China and has won numerous awards at home and abroad! His wood carving level, who can surpass it? "

"Is there anyone in the mixed wood carving industry who doesn't know Professor Guo? Why didn't the owner of the shop hurry to receive Professor Guo after he came in for so long? "

"Hum, I'm afraid the owner of a small shop in such a small place is not qualified to meet Professor Guo, so he doesn't know him."

"You say, shall we reveal Professor Guo's identity to him and scare him?"

"Come on, let's look at the wood carvings first. If the level is too poor, then this store is not qualified to let us stay for a long time. "

……

Several college students from famous brand art institutes strolled around the wood carving shop while talking.

Today, they came to SHUSHUI ancient town with Professor Guo to collect wind. They happened to meet Zhang Yi's wood carving shop and came in to have a look.

The wood carvings in the shop are large and small. The small ones are only peanuts, and the large ones can even cover a wall.

When Zhang Yi carved these wood carvings at the beginning, he didn't make any planning. He did it all at will. One day he suddenly wanted to carve something, so he carved at will.

Moreover, Zhang Yi did not pay any attention to the choice of wood, the softness and hardness of wood, or the texture of wood. In Zhang Yi's eyes, there is no wood that can't be carved. Every piece of wood has the most suitable carving for it.

After watching it for a while, these college students finally couldn't help talking again:

"What are these carvings? It's too abstract! "

"That is, abstract carving is not like this. It's just random carving!"

"Really, I can't feel any artistic flavor from these wood carvings!"

"And this carving technique has no skill at all. It's up and down and erratic. At first glance, it's just started, but it's not carved by a skilled novice!"

"At this level, I dare to open a wood carving shop. I think it's used to deceive those wronged big heads!"

……

Common wood carvings include figures, gods and Buddhas, buildings, ships, landscapes, plants, animals and so on.

Zhang Yi has also carved realistic wood carvings. In his previous life, he once carved a portrait of a sect leader in the cultivation world, which is not only in shape but also in spirit, lifelike and lifelike.

Even after the death of the sect leader, his descendants carried out the figure statue, and a group of disciples knelt down and saluted one after another, just as the leader was reborn.

But soon, Zhang Yi changed from realism to abstraction.

He wanted to carve out the emotion in his heart and the indescribable road.

These things have no form and cannot be described in words, so they are naturally carved in strange shapes and abstract and difficult to understand.

Zhang Yi never cares whether others can understand. He only carves the things in his heart.

At this time, a beautiful girl picked up a palm sized wood carving and asked Zhang Yi:

"Boss, how do you sell this wood carving?"

Zhang Yi continued his carving and replied without looking back:

"100 million."

"What?" The girl was startled and almost didn't get rid of the wood carving in her hand.

A group of students can't help but look strange.

Don't you ask for 100 million?

Immediately, a boy picked up another larger wood carving and asked:

"Boss, what about this?"

Zhang Yi still didn't look back and directly replied:

"Billion."

"I'll go!" The boy immediately showed disdain. There is no such price.

Just a wood carving, the opening is called one billion. He has never heard of a wood carving sold for one billion in the entertainment industry.

In addition to the artistic price, a large part of wood carving also attaches importance to the materials of wood carving.

The most expensive ones are small leaf red sandalwood and big fruit red sandalwood, followed by ebony, Huanghua pear, boxwood, mahogany, nanmu and so on.

Most of the wood carvings in Zhang Yi's shop are made of ordinary wood, which means that no matter how artistic, it is impossible to sell them at such a high price.

At this point, all the students only felt that Zhang Yi was bragging and forcing them to know that his works could not be sold, so they deliberately shouted at prices.

There was even a boy who joked:

"Well, boss, I think your wood carving is bigger. I'm afraid it's worth 10 billion?"

All the students covered their mouths and smiled. Everyone could hear the irony in the boy's mouth.

However, Zhang Yi still answered lightly:

"That's right."

This answer immediately made everyone speechless.

The boy shouted with exaggeration:

"How dare you sell 10 billion!"

The students couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

They just think that the boss is so boastful that he can easily reach hundreds of millions, or even 10 billion.

"No wonder this shabby shop doesn't seem to have business. In my opinion, don't want to sell anything in this shop."

"I'm also convinced that he dares to ask too much for his carving level!"

"If he carves some Bodhisattvas, divine Buddhas, divine beasts and so on, maybe he can have some business. And he chose to play these abstract arts, which doomed him not to want to do this business. "

……

The students laughed as they talked. The owner of this shop can be said to be the most unidentified person they met today.

At this time, an old voice suddenly sounded:

"Don't make any noise!"

The voice came from the leading old man, Professor Guo.

Since entering the store, Professor Guo has been immersed in watching wood carvings. The students are taking care of themselves to chat and almost forget the existence of this professor.

At this time, the professor shouted, and they hurried back to their senses.

However, the students are naturally free. Even if the professor yells, they still whisper:

"You see, Professor Guo's face is very ugly. It seems that he can see that these wood carvings are rough and will be angry!"

"Yes, Professor Guo is too decent to hold a little sand in his eyes. If you encounter this kind of black shop that asks for exorbitant prices and swindles, you will certainly teach a lesson! "

"As long as Professor Guo makes a speech, the boss's reputation will completely stink. He won't want to mix in the wood carving industry in the future!"

"Stop talking. We'll see how Professor Guo admonishes the boss!"

……

Due to Zhang Yi's outcry, a group of students have a big prejudice against Zhang Yi.

So now the students are happy to see Zhang Yi trained.

However, I saw that the anger on Professor Guo's face dissipated quickly. It seemed that this anger was not caused by Zhang Yi.

Professor Guo began to put on a dignified expression on his face. He pointed to several wood carvings in the corner and asked Zhang Yi:

"Boss, these wood carvings should be of the same kind. If you give them a name, it should be called 'homesickness'. Boss, am I right? "

Zhang Yi, who has been buried in carving, finally stopped his action at this time.

He looked back at Professor Guo and answered:

"The old man is right."

Professor Guo surprised Zhang Yi a little. Unexpectedly, there were still people who could understand his works.

This is the first time that Zhang Yi has met in the past month since he opened this store.

This wood carving work was not created by Zhang Yi in this life. He just restored the works of previous life.

At that time, he was full of longing for the earth's hometown in the cultivation world, so he had this carving in his spare time.

Homesickness is full of implication, which can only be buried in the bottom of my heart. But it is hot and can even make people toss and turn.

Zhang Yi's homesickness is expressed through carving, which is a twisted and tangled thing.

However, such an abstract emotion was actually seen by Professor Guo.

This time, I can't help but let Zhang Yi look at Professor Guo differently.
