"I'm spouting nonsense? Hehe. " Wuhai had the temper of a child. Once he heard someone doubting him, he immediately lost his temper. His "Hehe" was the maximum level of ridicule.
"Then why does it look like clouds?" Seeing that Wuhai had fallen for his provocation, the customers immediately voiced out their doubts.
It was no wonder that the customers doubted him. Yuan Zhou took a kitchen knife and started carving on the ice mountain. Soon, a complete line was carved out. It wasn't long, but it definitely wasn't as agile and elegant as clouds.
Not only that, sometimes, Yuan Zhou would carve a line in one go. Sometimes, he would carve it slowly and intermittently.
Saying that it was a green line on a mountain range was more reliable than clouds. Thinking carefully, when had they ever seen clouds in the sky?
"This isn't simple." Wuhai's tone seemed to be saying, "You must be blind."
"Look at the turn of the line. Isn't it like the small but numerous clouds in autumn? The curve in the middle is more stable. Isn't it like the layers of clouds in winter? The other small lines are hidden within the big lines. It's like the common clouds within clouds," Wuhai pointed at the line that Yuan Zhou was carving and said logically.
"I think the better one is the lines on the second ice block. I think it should be a dog or a cat. The lines are so similar but not so similar. However, I feel that the artistic conception is a little lacking. It's too deliberate," Wu Hai continued. "That's right.
Then, the others followed Wuhai's' guide 'and looked at what Yuan Zhou was carving on the ice block. They all had the same thought.
Maybe what they saw was different from what Wuhai saw. Damn it. What dog and cat? If the dog and cat were pressed into a line, it would look similar.
"Listen to your bragging. It's just a line. How can it have the elegance of clouds?" a customer said doubtfully.
"Shameless Wu also knows how to bluff people?"
Ling Hong wouldn't let it go. He added, "How naive of you to believe his words."
"You guys really have no artistic vision," Wuhai said in disdain.
"Why don't you think about it yourself?" Wuhai said matter-of-factly, "Painting and sculpture both rely on imagination. I remember that you seem to be from some art college. How can you study art without imagination?"
The one who was criticized by Wuhai was the diner who had some painting skills. Hearing Wuhai's words, he felt a little guilty and hurriedly said.
"Well, it does look like a cloud. For example, these lines are especially messy and disorderly, just like the clouds floating randomly in the sky."
"It seems so. If it were a mountain, it would have some regularity. If it were a cloud, it would indeed be so messy. The key is that it seems to have a little feeling of clouds." Another customer who knew a little about painting firmly supported Wuhai's words.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. When one or two of them said this, other customers also began to nod in agreement. The key was that Wuhai was an authority in painting, and it was the habit of people all over the world to believe in authority.
"No wonder Shameless Wu is a painter. He really has some skills." The customers began to praise Wuhai.
"Of course." Wuhai accepted the compliments without hesitation.
It was not a big deal for Wu Hai to show off here. Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou at the side had just finished sculpting the ice block in his hand. The practice this time didn't make Yuan Zhou satisfied either. He had a heavy heart. If he still couldn't finish it, he wouldn't be able to use his secret weapon during the competition.
There were also some who were skeptical of Wuhai's words. After Yuan Zhou sheathed his knife, they immediately asked him.
"Boss Yuan, what you sculpted just now was a cloud, a cloud that looks like a cat and a dog," a customer said curiously.
"You can actually tell it's a cloud?" Yuan Zhou looked at his knife with a puzzled expression and then looked at the ice block in front of him.
The square-shaped ice block was covered with lines. Some were thick, some were thin, some were curved, and some were straight. At first glance, it looked like a child's scribbles. But upon a closer look, it seemed to follow a certain pattern. It was disharmonious yet beautiful.
"You can tell it's a little powerful?" Yuan Zhou muttered.
The ice blocks in front of him, including the last one yesterday, were indeed sculpted with clouds. This was the ultimate move that Yuan Zhou had prepared for the competition with Yang Shuxin.
Yuan Zhou's ultimate move was the Cloud Dragon. If the Nine Dragon Sculpture was the symbol of a top-notch ice sculptor, then the Nine Appearances of the Cloud Dragon was definitely at the legendary level.
The Cloud Dragon required the use of clouds, and these clouds were very important. It could be said that they were the symbol of the success of the Cloud Dragon.
If Yang Shuxin knew what Yuan Zhou was planning, he would definitely gasp in shock. The current ice sculptors could only sculpt the Soaring Dragon or the Rising Dragon.
As for the Cloud Dragon, it was somewhere in between. It seemed to be soaring but not soaring, and it seemed to be rising but not rising. There were also some sculptures that had clouds and dragons on them, but they were all dragons above the clouds.
In the Book of Changes, the Qian Hexagram, it was said that clouds followed dragons, and wind followed tigers. From this, it could be said that the relationship between dragons and clouds was very subtle.
In order to sculpt clouds, the most important thing was the lines. This was the reason why Yuan Zhou had spent so much effort to prepare these lines.
However, Yuan Zhou was very dissatisfied with these lines. In his opinion, these lines were too deliberate. They didn't have the naturalness and liveliness of the clouds floating in the sky.
"How did you know?" Yuan Zhou asked the man.
"Really?" The man looked at Wuhai and then looked at Yuan Zhou. He clicked his tongue and asked, "Do you really have the clouds of cats and dogs?"
Yuan Zhou didn't answer, but his gaze meant that he had already answered.
This was simply ridiculous. The man answered blankly, "Shameless Wu said so. He could tell at a glance."
"Isn't it easy to see the clouds? After all, I'm also a painter," just at this moment, Wuhai interrupted and said smugly.
"Painting? Yes, painting. " Yuan Zhou seemed to have figured something out. Wuhai knew about natural composition very well. It would be a waste if he didn't use the resources.
Yuan Zhou started to pack up. It seemed that he wasn't going to sculpt anymore.
"Huh? Is it time to prepare lunch? "The customers who had been paying attention to Yuan Zhou looked at Yuan Zhou's actions curiously.
"Not yet. It's only 10: 00 am," someone looked at his watch subconsciously.
"Yeah, I haven't gotten anything today." The naughty kid who had been holding his phone frowned discontentedly. If this continued, there would be no capital injection and the secondary market would collapse.
"I don't know. I guess he won't sculpt anymore. He'll come again tomorrow," said a customer who was preparing to leave.
"I've never seen anyone sculpt clouds like this. I'm really curious if we can see a complete cloud tomorrow," said a customer who had just asked Wuhai.
Some customers were already used to it and prepared to leave. There were also some who had been waiting, afraid that Yuan Zhou would sculpt again. For example, the naughty kid.
However, Yuan Zhou cleaned up very quickly. In just a short while, there was an empty space in front of the door. Then, the onlookers also left.
Although the onlookers had left, Wuhai didn't. He just stood there in a daze. Perhaps he was reminiscing the feeling of being praised for being smart.
After all, it wasn't easy for Wuhai to be praised for being smart.
