If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, no one could believe that Fang Yi's hands were so agile. An ordinary carving knife seemed to have come alive in his hand, constantly wandering on the seed material. Every time he touched it, some jade debris would be scattered.

After Fang Yi made a hole in the horse's nose, he decorated it with a carving knife. Even if the entire seal was finished, the rest was to engrave the text on the seal. This was also an important sign of whether a seal was good or bad. Before engraving, Fang Yi put the entire seal in water and cleaned it.

"I really didn't realize that you kid actually has such skills..."

Looking at the crystal clear and moist seal in the water, Yu Xuan's eyes were almost shining. The horse's head that was neighing to the sky appeared vividly. The buttons carved by Fang Yi made him very satisfied. In Yu Xuan's view, Fang Yi's jade carving craftsmanship was probably not inferior to those of some ancient craftsmen.

"I have also collected a lot of seal stones. When I have time, you can make a few more for me..."

Looking at the seal in the water, Yu Xuan liked it more and more, because although Fang Yi's technique was a wild way, it was true that his carvings were less shackles, looked wild and more natural and rough, but the delicateness was no less than those of those master-level.

Yu Xuan has been playing miscellaneous things for a lifetime, but he has never seen Fang Yi's craftsmanship style. Yu Xuan believes that as long as Fang Yi is willing to take on external work, their family will be crowded immediately, and those who come to ask for seals can squeeze through the threshold of Fang Yi's family.

"Sure, Mr. Yu, just turn around and have someone send it here..."

As Fang Yi spoke, he picked up the seal in the water, wiped it carefully with a dry cloth, and took a brush brought by Gu Junshan and wrote the four seal characters "Yu Zi'ang Seal" on the plane of the seal.

"Good characters!" Yu Xuan, who almost put his head in front of the seal, praised him well. Not to mention Fang Yi's calligraphy, he was just in four seal characters. The mistake was not for those who had studied them. Generally, they could not write them.

"Fang Yi, what method do you use to engrave words?"

Seeing Fang Yi change his carving knife, Yu Xuan felt a little nervous because the seal carved by the seed material was perfect so far. Yu Xuan was afraid that Fang Yi would fail when he engraved the last letter.

"What method? Just carve it directly..."

Fang Yi looked at Yu Xuan with a strange look. When the old Taoist priest taught him to engrave text on the stone, he had never mentioned any technique. He just started practicing with a carving knife. Otherwise, how could Fang Yi say that he was born in a wild way?

"Okay. You pretend I didn't ask, how can I do it? I really don't know how your master taught you?"

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Yu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He heard Sun Lianda talk about Fang Yi's origin. After seeing Fang Yi's move, Yu Xuan was also very curious about Fang Yi's mysterious master.

"Master leads you into the door, and you rely on your own practice..."

After Fang Yi replied with a smile, he calmed down. He always engraved the words in one go. It was also a test for Fang Yi to engrave so many strokes on the small seal, and he would not be able to withstand any distraction.

He took a deep breath, fixed the seal with his left hand, and moved quickly with his right hand. The slender carving knife flowed thousands of miles along the words written by Fang Yi with a brush. The dozens of strokes would only be raised when Fang Yi changed the characters and continued to engrave the next word.

However, in the eyes of the onlookers, Fang Yi's knife seemed to have no pause at all. One person held his breath, for fear that someone would accidentally make trouble and disturb Fang Yi and let all his previous efforts be wasted.

"Okay, after cleaning, it will be completed..."

In just one or two minutes, Fang Yi let out a long sigh and separated the carving knife from the seal, but the surface of the seal was covered with jade debris, and others could not see the font on it clearly.

At this time, Fang Yi also had sweat on his forehead. You should know that engraving these four characters is more exhausting than carving buttons just now. Because the seal characters are different from the current simplified characters, their strokes are not straightforward. In addition to showing the simplicity of seal characters, they also need to have a soft feeling.

So in just over a minute, Fang Yi not only had to concentrate his mind on the seal, but also had to use his true energy to control the movement of his hands, because as long as there was a little distortion and a wrong stroke was engraved, the entire seal would be considered aborted.

"Brother Sun, do you... do you see what technique Fang Yi uses?"

Seeing Fang Yi's actions, Yu Xuan was a little excited and said repeatedly: "What is a rushing knife? This is a rushing knife. Those so-called masters engraved with intermittent one sword can also be called a rushing knife?"

"Crushing the knife? What does it mean?" Fang Yiyan, who adjusted his breathing, raised his head. He had indeed never heard of this term.

"Fang Yi, it seems that I will teach you more theoretical things in the future..."

Hearing the disciple's words, Sun Lianda couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The seal engraving technology is divided into two types: punching knife and cutting knife. The punching knife is the knife technique you just used. It will be done with one knife in one go, and there are few pauses in the middle. However, this kind of knife technique is rarely used because it is too difficult...

The cutting knife is more cautious in the engraving process. It is usually cut continuously with a short-range broken knife. Basically, each stroke has to be paused for a while, just like the astringent brush in calligraphy, but it can show a vigorous, concise, thick and steady atmosphere..."

"Teacher, I really don't know about the rushing knife and cutting knife..."

Fang Yi touched his head when he heard this. When he first practiced engraving, he was not as fast as he was now. He only practiced it after a long time. However, although Fang Yi cut the knife very quickly, the vigorous and conciseness in the cutting knife could also be reflected in his sword technique.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, you can make something that is the real ability..."

When Sun Lianda explained the difference between punching and cutting knives to Fang Yi, Yu Xuan had already cleaned the text of the seal. Looking at the few words that were not very obvious, Yu Xuan's eyes were almost shining.

"Hurry up, Fang Yi, hurry up and deal with the side..." Yu Xuan stuffed the seal into Fang Yi's hand, turned around and said to Gu Junshan: "Mr. Gu, find some ink paste and ask for the best type..."

At this time, Yu Xuan was like a child seeing his beloved toy, and he wanted to immediately dip his ink paste to reveal his name on the paper.

"Old Yu, don't you need to polish it before applying ink?"
