Rebirth of the White Lotus

Mr. Su's birthday is coming soon, and the Su family is getting busy.Among them, the third young master of the Su family was the busiest. He locked himself and the sculpture teacher in the room all day long, and no one was allowed to enter.

In the room, Su Yu and an old man were talking about something around a pot of small and compact Lingmei flowers. This old man was Su Yu's teacher of carving jade.

"Xiao Yu, I don't suggest you carve this kind of flower." The old man's expression was slightly serious.

"Why?" Su Yu looked up, very puzzled.Today, he wanted to ask the old man to teach him how to carve this kind of longevity flower, so that the finished product he carved would be more excellent. It always takes more thought to give grandpa a birthday gift.

"Xiao Yu, as I said before, the things you carve are exquisite, but have no soul." The old man continued to say earnestly, "It is better to give a pot of fresh flowers than a pendant without a soul."

"No matter how fresh a flower is, it will wither. What I want to give to grandpa is the beauty that never fades." Su Yu was a little sad. It seemed that since rebirth, she began to cling to something that she never had in her previous life—eternity .

"Things without a soul, how can you say something beautiful." The old man hit Su Yu mercilessly.Su Yu's thoughts are good, and he has sincerity, but the most taboo thing to give away jadeite jewelry, especially relatives, is empty and soulless things.The nouveau riche don't understand this, they just keep sending good-looking things.But the members of the Emerald Family are different, their vision is higher than others, and they pursue different things.Although Mr. Su would not mind no matter what he gave and would store it properly, but as a top jade carving master, he could not tolerate these soulless dead things.As Su Yu was his student, he didn't even want him to send out soulless dead things. "Xiao Yu, wait for you to mature a little more, then use carving as a gift."

"I have carved something with a soul." Su Yu retorted. "This." Su Yu took out his mobile phone and showed the photo to the old man. There was a bellflower carved by him on it. After seeing the photo clearly, Su Yu blushed.He just wanted to show his teacher his work, but he forgot that besides Kikyo, there was another person in this photo.

What Su Yu took out were some photos that Xiao Xuan had sent him in the past few days, in which he put bellflower to his lips and kissed it.Xiao Xuan's eyes were so gentle, with a little pampering, the corners of his mouth curled up, a half-smile.

Fortunately, this old man is obsessed with carving jade, so he didn't have too much thought to look at the sundries other than jade in the photo. (Stuff? Xiao Xuan raised his brows, and looked dangerously at Mou~~~ Mou: Help!)

The old man took a closer look at the platycodon flowers in the photo. Although the flowers on it were not delicate, they were full of agility. "Is this...you carved it?"

"Yes." Su Yu nodded, "I carved this when I was in T City."

"Hmm." The old man's eyes were full of scrutiny and approval, "Although he is not very proficient, but it is very good. From this flower, we can see the sculptor's full of emotion and deep love."

The more the old man talked, the redder Su Yu's face became. He didn't expect that the old man could see his emotions so easily, and he even said it outright.After finally waiting for the teacher to finish watching Jade, Su Yu couldn't wait to take back her phone.But the old man's next sentence made him embarrassed.

"Who did Xiao Yudiao give this to? Such a work cannot be carved out by ordinary emotions. Does Xiao Yu have someone he likes?" The old man asked, "Could it be that man in the photo?"

"No..." Su Yu dodged his eyes, not wanting the old man to know.Because once the old man knows, it means that grandpa may also know. "This person just borrowed it to take pictures...that's all..." I couldn't say anymore, who would have nothing to borrow such a thing to take pictures of such ambiguous things, unless it was my lover.

"That person looked quite like a person just now." He was so focused on Fei Cui just now that the old man didn't look at the person in the photo carefully. Now that he thinks about it, he looks like a person. "But I also remember it for a while." I don't know."

"Don't worry about this for now," Su Yu immediately changed the topic. He was afraid that if the old man continued talking, he would get out of hand. "Then can I carve longevity flowers now?"

Sure enough, Su Yu got to the point, and the old man didn't have time to chat with him about other things.

"Xiao Yu, do you know the three realms of carving jade?" The old man's face became serious.

"Three realms?" Su Yu was a little confused. In his previous life, he had never heard of the three realms.

"The soul lies in the heart, and the way of the mind is dexterity. This is the first level. The soul lies in emotion. Only by integrating emotion into things can we turn decay into magic. This is the second level. The soul lies in nature. Flowers are neither flowers nor fog. It is the last third layer." The old man began to explain to Su Yu the three realms of carving jade in detail.These three realms are unknown to ordinary jade carving masters, and only at his level will they understand them. "The white lotus you showed me for the first time was only at the first level. It was a delicate and lifeless white lotus. At this level, as long as you are proficient in carving jade, you can basically do it. But such a person in the jade carving world, You can’t be called a jade carver, you can only be called a sculptor at best. And the flower you just showed me is at the second level. It integrates your deep emotions and contains a part of your soul, making it appear agile. , Only those who can reach this level will be recognized as a jade carving master. But the highest level of jade carving is the third level."

Su Yu looked at the teacher half-understanding. He could understand the first two layers, but he didn't understand the last layer.

"A flower is not a flower, because it is not a real flower, but it looks like a real flower. This is called a flower but not a flower. Natural ones are the best. On the third floor, the pursuit is to return to the original." The old man patiently Teach Su Yu carefully.Su Yu is very talented in carving and can reach the second level in such a short period of time.Many people can only stay at the second level for the rest of their lives.In time, Su Yu will definitely open up his own world in the world of jade carving, Su Yu's teacher firmly believes.Thinking of the child who was very similar to Su Yu in front of him, he still couldn't help sighing, that was also a child with a bright future, but it was a pity that he just disappeared in the jade carving world.That is, if he agrees to be his student, maybe now he has his own world.Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help shaking his head, the past is irreversible, and now he just needs to teach this extremely gifted child in front of him well.

"Now you know too little," the old man stroked Su Yu's head affectionately, "slowly you will understand."

"En." Su Yu nodded. He knew that things like realm could not be rushed, and he had to figure it out slowly. "Then can I carve longevity flowers now?"

"Yes." Knowing Su Yu's current ability, the old man also expected Su Yu to carve better works. "What kind of jade are you going to use?"

"Red Fei." Su Yu took out the cockscomb red that he had gambled from the wool market not long after his rebirth.

The old man was immediately attracted by the crimson, delicate and transparent jadeite in front of him, and couldn't help picking up the palm-sized red jadeite in front of him to enjoy, "It's beautiful, it's so beautiful." He kept stroking the jadeite in front of him.What their jade carvers want most is to carve a perfect work of art with satisfactory jadeite. The higher the quality of jadeite, the more they love it.The cockscomb red in front of him was a great attraction to him.Although I like this piece of jadeite very much, it is the rule in the jade carving world not to snatch other people's jadeite.He had no choice but to reluctantly put the red jadeite back into Su Yu's hands, but he was more careful when guiding Su Yu, for fear of accidentally ruining the jadeite.

For several days, the old and the young hardly left the room except for meals.In addition to instructing him, the old man will also give him detailed pointers on the three realms.After a few days of careful teaching, Su Yu felt a sense of enlightenment.The self in the previous life really knew too little. He thought he knew a lot, but it turned out to be just a trickle in a vast ocean.

The birthday gift in Su Yu's hand also gradually took shape under the guidance of the old man. The crimson longevity flower carried a haughty aura.It is very similar to Mr. Su's decisive and resolute temperament.

Although he is not very proficient, the old man is quite satisfied. "Children can be taught." He praised Su Yu several times.

Although the past few days have been very tiring, Su Yu is still in a good mood seeing his finished product.I don't know what my grandpa will do after seeing this, but when I think of the old man's doting on me, I feel warm and grateful in my heart.

"What's so happy?" A voice rang in Su Yu's ear.

The owner of this voice was very familiar to Su Yu, "Xuan, why are you here already?" Su Yu smiled and turned to look at the person in front of him.

"I miss you." Xiao Xuan said it very bluntly, and it was natural to see Su Yu's slightly red cheeks. "This is for you." Xiao Xuan handed the prescription to Su Yu.

"Huh?" Su Yu looked at Xiao Xuan suspiciously.

"This is a prescription of traditional Chinese medicine. It is for you to regulate your body. Mote asked his teacher for it. Remember to ask the Su family to buy all these medicinal materials and cook them for you every day." Xiao Xuan smiled, but Su Why does Yu always feel that there is some conspiracy?Su Yu knew that his current body was really weak, he only thought that Xiao Xuan gave him the prescription because Xiao Mo meant to make his body stronger.If he knew the real purpose of Xiao Xuan giving him this traditional Chinese medicine, I don't know what would happen.Looking at Su Yu's slender body, Xiao Xuan secretly sighed in his heart. He didn't know when Su Yu's body would be able to withstand his torture. Xiao Xuan was still very annoyed that he couldn't enjoy himself every time. (Mou: If you enjoy yourself to the fullest, Su Yu will probably be killed by you~~~Xiao Xuan: Looking for death? Mou: I’m just passing by~~~)
