Chapter 87: Amazing Craftsmanship


"Is the dragon ball the one on the dragon man?

Ye Baldy, you really brought it back?"

I said in surprise.

"Hey, I can save your kid's life only because of this dragon ball.

This is also the reason why I came to your grandfather last year."

Ye Baldzi said with a smile.

Then he took out a delicate sandalwood box from behind, and Ye Tuzi slowly opened the lid.

There was a space as big as a small drawer, with a protruding arc in the middle, which was padded with white silk cloth.

In the middle of the silk cloth is a golden bead the size of a fist.

This is the dragon bead that was pulled out from the dragon man five years ago.

This dragon ball seems to have been carefully taken care of and cleaned.

The surface of the dragon ball is smooth and gleaming, just like a moment of golden amber.

In the golden colored glass, the paintings can be clearly seen, making the altar and the crowd more lifelike.

I took the dragon ball in my hand and looked it up and down.

I didn't find anything unusual except that it was more crystal clear and the paintings inside the dragon ball.

I was a little puzzled.

Although the devil had been imprisoned in the body for the past five years, the devil I have also recorded all the studies in my mind, which means that I have also accumulated five years of knowledge and half a year of archaeological knowledge.

What's more, the devil used my body to read all the four-year university courses, so I am no exception.

My head contains the knowledge I have learned in four years.

I have already started studying archeology, but I still don’t have any idea about the dragon beads.

When we were in the ghost cave five years ago, we guessed that the dragon beads might be made of yellow dragon jade, but I don’t think so now.

Although the appearance and texture of the dragon beads are They are very similar to yellow dragon jade, but when you smell it up close, you can actually smell the smell of wood.

It is really hard to imagine what kind of material the dragon beads are made of.

The craft of dragon beads almost did not exist for thousands of years.

It is difficult to imagine what technology the ancients used to make it.

I looked through what I have learned in my mind, and it seems that there is no special description of the dragon ball in history, and I can't see any symbolic meaning.

Is it true that, as the legend says, this dragon ball can help people realize their wishes.

But I can’t figure out what the meaning of the dragon ball is.

As for contemporary dragon sculptures, a dragon ball is usually carved under the claws or on the lower jaw.

But we found the dragon ball in the Witch Gu Ghost Cave.

The dragon made does not look like a dragon, the snake does not look like a snake, and it is not even a Chinese totem.

"Kid, you will never imagine what an amazing secret this bead contains."

Ye Baldzi looked at me with a strange smile.

I shook my head and glared at Ye Tuzi and said, "It must have something to do with me, right, otherwise you wouldn't go to grandpa."

"You're smart," said Ye Tuozi.

Then he took the dragon ball again, stood up, and watched with interest as Jing Wei moved the dragon ball in front of her and said, "It's only thanks to Jing Wei that I discovered such an amazing secret.

Her father, Jing Hao, is the most authoritative miniature carving expert in the country, and it was he who discovered the secret inside the dragon ball."

"Miniature carving expert" I asked doubtfully.

I have also heard a lot about the art of micro-carving, which is simply called micro-carving.

Chinese micro-carving has a long history.

As far back as the Yin and Shang dynasties, miniature carvings appeared in oracle bone inscriptions.

During the Warring States period, the seals were as small as millet, but the seals were red and white.

The well-known Wang Shuyuan's boat carvings are also classics of miniature sculpture art in Chinese history.

Core carvings, bone carvings, ivory carvings and miniature painting carvings all belong to the category of micro carvings.

"I know you have learned some knowledge in this area in the past few years.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

The most influential and highest level in modern times is hair engraving.

As early as 1952, there was a master of folk engraving art in Guangzhou who carved inscriptions on a piece of hair.

The words "serve the people" suddenly became a legend.

"Ye Tuzi looked at me and explained like an expert: "You must know that human hair is a hollow tube with an extremely thin layer of skin on the surface. , there is fibrous tissue under the epidermis.

It is on such a hair.

Under a high-power microscope, the words flat, edged, curved, and straight can be clearly seen.

At that time, the technology was not advanced.

It’s amazing that someone can carve words into hair that can only be seen under a high-power microscope.”

I glared at Ye Tuzi and said, "I know all this, but you are wrong about something.

The master sculptor used a microscope at that time.

It was not based on his eyesight, but under a microscope with a power of more than 150 times, he concentrated and held his breath. , use a carving knife that is only one-tenth of the hair, and move on the hair without any error.

The intention of the knife is first, the heart and hand are corresponding, and the rhythm of the knife is magical.

It all depends on the mind, eyesight, finger skills, wrist and It took half a year to carve it out in Perseverance, so can you tell me the key points?”

Grandpa, Xie Delin, and Ye Yinlong looked at me in disbelief.

Xie Delin exclaimed: "Damn it, Su Ye, you actually know so much."

I laughed dumbly and said: "It is meaningless to say that I have lost anything in the past five years.

I have gained an unexpected knowledge base.

When I passed away, even I was shocked.

The amazingly huge sea of ​​knowledge , I couldn't digest it for a while, I could only see a few things, and a few things automatically appeared in my mind.

This can be regarded as the best gift after being imprisoned for five years. " Grandpa said: "Let me tell you."

Grandpa took the dragon ball in Ye Tuzi's hand and looked at it and continued: "At first we thought that the bead contained only colored paintings, but in fact it was all colored paintings composed of inscriptions, densely packed with tiny inscriptions.

The amazing secret is the inscriptions."

I was shocked.

If hair carving is enough to shock the world, then the dragon ball’s concave micro carving is enough to shock the world.

The technology of hair micro carving is only external micro carving, but the dragon ball is different.

It is a glass sphere, painted on the ball.

The body cannot be said to be an amazing art, but such art was enough to shock the world thousands of years ago.

However, the paintings are just the appearance of the dragon beads.

The real shocking secret is the micro-carved inscriptions.

Countless tiny inscriptions make up the paintings.

Five years ago, I probably wouldn't have thought it was anything strange, but after I gained enough knowledge in my head, I realized how difficult it was to create such a spherical inner wall micro-carving, not to mention that it was in a complete building.

Inside the spherical structure, I can't imagine what means the ancients used thousands of years ago to put those micro-inscriptions on the inner wall of the sphere.

Grandpa took a breath, but it seemed that he could not calm down this universal art.

After a long time, he continued: "It contains information about the Witch Gu Ghost Cave, and also records the secrets of the dragon people.

Jing Wei's father is not only the He is an expert in miniature carving and is also an expert in studying ancient texts.

He spent three months deciphering only one part of the language from the paintings, which is enough to shock the world
