Chapter 110: I, Sun Xide, Concede Defeat to Senior!
“Alright, who are you going to pinch?”
Liu Changgong’s indifferent voice was like the might of Heaven. The moment he opened his mouth, everyone shut their mouths!
They suddenly felt that this seemingly ordinary-looking man in front of them seemed to have an indescribable temperament!
Calm, elegant, and carefree!
Sun Xide was also secretly beating his heart, and the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch!
Could a person with such a temperament be a person who was fishing for fame and deceiving the world? Wasn’t he shooting himself in the foot?
But since things had come to this, as the head of the family and the leader of the pottery art in the Ceramic Capital, Sun Xide had no choice but to ride the tiger!
“Then, Mr. Liu, follow this old man and make a ceramic puppet!”
Sun Xide braced himself and spoke.
Liu Changgong naturally did not have any objections. Who wouldn’t be kneaded?
He looked at Sun Xide. This old man’s hair was white, but his eyes were full of energy. The art of ceramics was a craft, but at the same time, it was a craft that required a high degree of vision and control!
He was dressed in a green robe. His clothes were luxurious but not flashy, making him look like a rich man.
Almost instantly, Liu Changgong had dozens of ideas on how to make a pottery person!
In the end, he randomly chose one and directly kneaded a piece of clay from the clay plate handed over by the servant next to him.
His hand movements were ordinary, but in less than a minute, he had already formed a rough shape!
With such speed and proficiency, everyone could tell at a glance that he was an expert!
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Liu Changgong.
However, no matter how they looked at it, Liu Changgong’s techniques did not seem to have any special characteristics!
It was just a simple pinch, stroke, and press!
Pottery often required a lot of tools to be made to be lifelike and incomparably exquisite.
However, Liu Changgong had long passed that stage. In his hands, even if it was just fingernails, it could still display the effect of a wooden knife!
He casually kneaded the mud, and before long, a small figure appeared in his hands!
However, at this moment, the clay figure did not have eyes.
Liu Changgong thought for a moment, and directly took two small pieces of black mud from the clay plate. He casually pinched it, and placed it in the clay figure’s eye socket!
In an instant!
Sun Xide’s expression changed crazily!
In his eyes, the clay figurine seemed to come to life when the two eyes were pinched!
He even had the courage to believe that the clay figurine was him and that he was just a dummy!
This effect…
Sun Xide was shocked!
One had to know that the clay figurine was already so lifelike even before it was baked and colored!
If the rest of the steps were completed, what would this clay figurine look like?
At this moment, Sun Xide’s eyes were dull, and his heart was extremely curious about the true shape of this clay figurine!
He had forgotten that he was the reference object of this clay figurine. No matter how lifelike the clay figurine was, wasn’t it just like him?
However, the charm of ceramic arts was here!
Before the finished product was released, everyone was probably guessing in their hearts!
After the finished product was released, that lifelike and lifelike feeling made everyone agree and go crazy for it!
In less than 15 minutes, Liu Changgong had finished kneading the ceramic puppet.
Next, it was time to bake and color it on the spot!
After another hour, under the gaze of everyone who was stretching their necks.
Liu Changgong gently placed a small person on the stage!
Everyone was stunned!
Especially those who were close enough to see it clearly!
These people were all famous craftsmen from Ceramic City. Although they usually respected the ten great families of Ceramic City, in their hearts, they probably thought that their craftsmanship was about the same as the people from the ten great families.
But now, looking at their dull and stupefied eyes, one could tell.
The clay figurine that Liu Changgong pinched had already exceeded their imagination!
That was a miniature version of Sun Xide!
Even the facial hair and the expression in his eyes were exactly the same!
When everyone looked at the clay figurine, they even had the feeling that this was Sun Xide. The one standing next to him was just a magnified version of the clay figurine!
Sun Xide was also stunned!
“S-Senior… may I ask if Senior is the Master of Ceramic Arts, the Ceramic Puppet Zhang?”
What Sun Xide was talking about was a Master of ceramic arts from a hundred years ago!
This person was extremely good at making ceramic figurines. It was even rumored that the Ceramic Puppet Zhang could not only make ceramic figurines, but also create ceramic souls!
However, a hundred years ago, this Ceramic Puppet Zhang had already disappeared in front of people!
It was unknown whether it had died or gone somewhere else!
Now, there was a pottery figurine made by Liu Changgong. It even made Sun Xide feel that he was the real pirate. No wonder Sun Xide thought that he was Ceramic Puppet Zhang!
Liu Changgong shook his head indifferently and said, “My name is Liu Changgong. I don’t know any Ceramic Puppet Zhang!”
Sun Xide pursed his lips. He wanted to say something, but he did not know where to start.
In the end, he could only bow deeply and sigh.
“I, Sun Xide, admit defeat to Senior. The judge of this Ceramic Arts Convention is none other than Senior!”
Liu Changgong helped him up and said with a smile, “Elder. you don’t have to be like this. It’s fate that we met by chance. I’ll give this ceramic puppet to you.”
“Thank you, Senior!”
Sun Xide was ecstatic! A ceramic puppet of this level could be used as a family heirloom!
This Senior Liu actually gave it away so easily!
‘As expected of an expert who was indifferent to fame and fortune. With such a style, we can’t compare to him!’
As Sun Xide thought so, the whispers in the audience continued to ring out!
“Oh my god! Is that a ceramic puppet? I thought I saw the soul of a legendary person!”
“Exactly, exactly! Isn’t this too similar?”
“I’m really convinced this time! And did you guys notice that this Senior didn’t use any knives and only used a pair of hands to create such a similar pottery doll!”
“That’s right! I looked carefully and there was nothing special about the technique, but it just had to be so similar!”
“This is an expert! This is definitely an expert!”
“I think that this Senior has reached the legendary realm of returning to origin. His casual actions are moves that we’ve been struggling with for a long time but still can’t make!”
“Brother, you’re absolutely right!”
…
While the audience was discussing animatedly, the three princes on the stage were already stunned!
In their arms, the treasures used to examine the Heaven’s Legacy clay dolls were vibrating crazily!
And the pottery puppet that triggered the shaking of these treasures was now in Sun Xide’s hands!
“Senior… Senior…”
Sun Xide was a bit incoherent!
“Is this really for me?”
This kind of pottery puppet, which was a family heirloom, was a priceless treasure even in a place like Ceramic City where pottery was everywhere!
This Senior actually gave it to him so casually?
Liu Changgong looked at him with some amusement and chuckled.
“What else? Why would I take a pottery doll like you? It’s not a beauty!”
“Ah, this…”
Sun Xide also laughed dryly twice and hurriedly took it carefully as if he was holding his heart, not daring to use any strength!
“Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!”
“Alright, let the competition continue,” Liu Changgong said calmly.
