The two looked at each other and smiled, walked to the gate, pushed open the ajar door and walked into the courtyard. They saw several houses lined up inside, and in the courtyard facing the gate, there were piles of There are piles of large rocks, some of which have been carved into half-finished human or animal shapes, and more of which have been chipped with axes and dismembered to form a mess of rubble.
The courtyard is filled with the smell of stone chips.
Two skinny old men with bare feet were sitting on a stone bench, holding a half-man-high bluestone and arguing about something.
There was a rugged pattern on the surface of the half-person-high bluestone, which had been polished smooth. The two old men took carving knives respectively, and one said unconvincingly: "The nine-turn stone pattern needs to be carved with a flat knife flow to be smooth ¡
Another old man sneered and shook his head: "Nine-turn stone pattern? No, you misjudged it from the beginning. This is the thirteen-turn stone pattern. You use a flat knife to flow, and with one cut, the entire stone sculpture's starting point will be removed. Wrong, then such a precious bluestone will be useless."
"Thirteen turns of stone patterns? I have been appreciating stones for a lifetime, how many turns of stone patterns will I still get wrong?"
"You can't be mistaken. How many times have you seen such a precious bluestone in your life?"
The two old men kept arguing. Zhou Lu and Mo Qingxiu stood there feeling a little embarrassed. It seemed that the landlord of this place was a stonemason.
Zhou Lu shouted:
"We want to rent a house"
Over there, one of the skinny old men waved his hand impatiently without raising his head: "The agreements are on the wall. Go to the backyard to choose a house. If you like it, throw the money here."
The old man pointed to the stone bowl on the side of the door, then ignored Zhou Lu and started arguing with the old man over there.
The tone was quite rude.
Zhou Lu was stunned, they hadn't bargained yet, but seeing that the two old men were not in a good mood now, and didn't even have time to talk to them, Zhou Lu had no choice but to wait there. The old man who had spoken earlier argued a few more words, and suddenly noticed When Zhou Lu arrived, the two of them were still standing there, frowning and raising their heads, and asked impatiently
"What else do you want?"
Zhou Lu quickly smiled: "I just want to ask if the rent can be cheaper if we want to stay longer. We"
Zhou Lu had not yet finished speaking a lot of words that he had prepared, but the old man waved his hand decisively and said:
"If you like it, rent it. If you don't like it, rent it out, and you won't negotiate the price for how long you want to stay."
The old man actually refused coldly, and then ignored Zhou Lu. The two old men held the bluestone and stroked it carefully, observing the stone pattern bit by bit, and continued to argue while observing.
Stone patterns are like the meridians of the human body, which cannot be seen with the naked eye or the mind. We can only rely on a lifetime of experience to figure it out.
The risk in the stone masonry industry is that once you make a mistake and carve it with a few knives, you find that the stone patterns are not as many as you thought, then the big stone will be considered useless.
It doesn¡¯t matter if an ordinary big stone is carved into pieces.
Which piece of stone that can be entered into the stonemith's eyes is not worth 10,000 yuan, rare people are moving, and only the stone carvings carved and carved by such stone materials can sell high prices.
"It seems that we can't negotiate the price anymore."
Zhou Lu smiled bitterly at Mo Qingxiu: "Let's go to the backyard and pick one."
"Um."
Mo Qingxiu nodded, and the two of them walked through the courtyard and walked side by side to the house going back. The two old men didn't even look at them, they were focused on the bluestone.
Mo Qingxiu walked past the two old men and suddenly said:
"This bluestone is neither a nine-turn stone pattern nor a thirteen-turn stone pattern. It is actually an eleventh-turn and a half stone pattern. It is a natural black stone with half a stone vein."
Over there, the two old men all raised their heads and looked at Mo Qingxiu who was speaking, and were stunned for a moment at the same time.
"Eleven turns and a half stone pattern? A joke."
"Eleven and a half turns, that is simply not something that can be generated naturally. If they really discovered that there are eleven and a half turn stone patterns, then they would have unearthed a rare and rare stone in the world."
The two old men sneered together.
How dare such a young female cultivator question their vision?
The old man who spoke before snorted and asked, "You two are preparing to take the temple assessment, right?"
"how do you know?"
Zhou Lu and Mo Qingxiu were both stunned.
The old man curled his lips and said, "What's so hard to guess? Judging from your years of cultivation and the fact that you have traveled so much to rent a house, you must have heard that the temple in Purgatory City is recruiting people and came here from the outer city."
The expression on the old man's face became even more arrogant. He looked at Mo Qingxiu and asked, "All those who took part in the temple examination are those who are less than a hundred years old. But, you know,An old man also stood up and looked at Mo Qingxiu and clicked his tongue.
Observing stone patterns is all based on experience. They have been practicing this way for more than three hundred years, but their experience is not as good as that of such a young girl?
"You, are you also a stone sculptor?"
An old man asked in surprise and joy.
Mo Qingxiu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I just played with stone carving for a few days, so I don't dare to call myself a stone carver."
Mo Qingxiu is telling the truth. She has never studied stone carving in depth at all. There are too many things in this industry that she does not understand. However, if she is asked to observe stone patterns, Mo Qingxiu dares to say that no one can do it.
She senses the power of gold just like she sees patterns on the palm of her hand.
She only had to stand there quietly. In the realm of the Heart of Gold, she could vividly remember all the stone patterns inside the bluestone. The two old men were guessing based on experience, but she saw it with her own eyes, so of course she could tell. Right.
As for the lotus stone sculpture just now.
Mo Qingxiu can even cut out the martial arts graphics on the stone wall completely, and even a small stone sculpture can't stop her.
"let's go."
Mo Qingxiu and Zhou Lu walked side by side to the backyard.
"Wait a minute"
The two barefoot old men were all a little uneasy. Facing such a great stone carving, they wanted to get close to him. However, Mo Qingxiu was too young and such a stunning and beautiful girl. The two of them called Mo Qingxiu was stunned, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
¡°Could they allow such a girl to have a long conversation with them?
Seeing Mo Qingxiu and Zhou Lu looking towards them, the old man who had spoken before was embarrassed. He suddenly shouted: "You go and choose a house. You can stay there for as long as you like. There is no room fee." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
