Chapter 183: The flame burns, and the woodcarving finally appears (2/2)



“It’s amazing to see such wonderful artistry in the live stream, it’s so awesome.”

Netizens expressed their admiration and appreciation one after another.

Because Ning Fei’s wood carving technique was really too brilliant, it was simply divine!

Not only was it just the magical technique of revealing the true appearance after the flames, but what made netizens marvel was that the two birds facing up towards the sky made netizens really feel a genuine feeling of affection.

It was as if the wooden sculpture carved by Ning Fei really had a soul.

“Did you guys ever feel that those two birds, like they were alive?”

“I thought I was the only one who felt that way.”

“What’s the deal with that?”

“My grandfather happens to be a wood carver and has been carving wood for decades, I’ll ask him.”

Everyone was still in awe.

Satisfied, Ning Fei looked at his work and carefully observed if there was anything that needed to be repaired.

The answer was no, every bit of force was just right.

Meanwhile, the netizen who had said his grandfather was a woodcarver really ran off to find his grandfather.

“Grandpa, look at this video, there’s an awesome person who carved a wooden sculpture, it’s simply divine!” Lin Hui ran excitedly to his grandfather Lin Zhanwu, holding his phone and said.

“There’s another awesome carving? Let me see.” Lin Zhanquan, who was carving a golden toad, put down the file in his hand and took his phone.

Nowadays, it was the era of universal self-publishing, and many craftsmen would upload videos to the internet, so they, the craftsmen, could also take a look at the works of their peers.

Lin Hui would often find some awesome wood carvings for Lin Zhanquan to evaluate.

“Grandpa, this one is completely different, this one is so awesome!” Lin Hui exclaimed.

Lin Zhanquan didn’t say anything, he had seen many wood carvings on the internet before and most of them were in vain.

Outsiders see the fun, but insiders see the art. Ordinary netizens thought the wood carving was overbearing, but insiders could tell from the texture and lines how the other side had carved it and what level it was.

“Is this the carver? It looks very young.” Lin Zhanquan shook his head.

In this line of carving, one really couldn’t carve anything without a decade or two of skill.

There were some things that really needed to be underpinned.

The video Lin Zhanquan watched was the one where Ning Fei lit the fire, and as the fire slowly rose, the carving gradually revealed its true appearance. Lin Zhanquan’s expression, too, became increasingly serious.

“Nirvana from the ashes?”

Lin Zhanquan murmured.

“This is a lost skill of the wood carving craft: bathing in fire and nirvana?”

He was a little confused.

Whirling around, the entire wooden carving was revealed, and Lin Zhanquan put on his glasses and scrutinised every detail of the carving.

“Impressive, this master’s attention to detail is impressive.” Lin Zhanquan enlarged his wings to look at the patterns on it and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“Grandpa, what’s so impressive about it?” Lin Hui asked.

“Coherence and integration. When he carves, he strives to use the fewest knives to create the most exquisite craftsmanship, so a lot of wood chips are connected together, and they won’t fall off at all.”

“Moreover, his attention to detail is so good that it can even be described as precise. There’s not a single flaw.”

Lin Zhanquan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“I’ve seen many wood carvings, but in terms of detail that can compare to him, there won’t be more than five people in China!”

“Is it that impressive?” Lin Hui’s eyes widened in some disbelief.

“This is just one of them.” Lin Zhanquan looked at the carving as a whole again, and the two birds made a dash to the sky as if they were about to fly up.

“The most impressive thing about this master is not just his awesome technique, but his ability to give this wooden carving a kind of divine charm, a kind of soul that belongs to the wood carving itself.”

“A great carver, the sculptures carved out are full of charm.”

“If you carve a dragon, it is all righteousness and awe-inspiring, making people not dare to look at it directly; if you carve a tiger, it is like a fierce tiger descending from a mountain, forcing all things back, and can deter a hundred beasts.”

“And this wooden carving expresses the nestling of two birds in love with each other, and the vigour of vigour.”

“This man, he is really powerful!”

Hearing Lin Zhanquan’s comment, Lin Hui couldn’t help but gulp, feeling a little shocked.

It was the first time he had heard his grandfather give such a high rating to someone.

“Grandpa, how much would this wooden carving be worth if it was sold?” Lin Hui asked again after thinking about it.

Young people were concerned about artworks, or their reciprocal value.

Lin Zhanquan took a closer look and said.

“A good wood carving, especially one with divine charm, is worth a lot of money.”

“But the average wood he used reduces the value a bit.”

“If we really get those guys who like to collect wood carvings, this one is estimated to be able to reach around one and a half to two million if it is to be auctioned.”

“How much? Two million?” Lin Hui was dumbfounded when he heard Lin Zhanquan’s offer.

Wouldn’t this mean that a one-day carving by Master Ning Guan could fetch a high price of two million!

That was too fierce.

“Which school does this person belong to, and from whom? How come I have never heard of such a powerful engraver?” Lin Zhanquan asked.

“Grandpa, he’s just an outdoor anchor who does live broadcasts, but he’s really very impressive, he knows everything!” Lin Hui exclaimed.

“An anchor?” Lin Zhanquan sighed, “Just an anchor, ah, I’m afraid that if he was in the carving session, his status would be very frightening.”

“It’s possible that he could become the most powerful woodworking artist in China.”

“It’s a pity.”
