My Life Simulator

The next day, Lu Li and Shen Menglin went to Nanyang.

Booking air tickets, applying for passports, and shuttle service, Shen Menglin treated Lu Li as an uncle waiting for her.

"Master Lu, due to some special reasons, we cannot hold a press conference for the time being about your cooperation with us."

In the first class cabin of the plane, Shen Menglin looked at Lu Li apologetically, "After you finish this jade carving, you will hold a press conference, can you watch it?"

Lu Li understood Shen Menglin's request very well.

Because of the infighting in the family, Shen Menglin, who was desperate, made a special trip to find Lu Li. When a helper is invited, it is natural to try to keep it as secret as possible to prevent others from making tricks.

Lu Li also felt that it was good to keep it secret for the time being, so as not to get involved in some messy things.

"no problem."

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "Wait until the engraving is completed, then hold a press conference!"

A press conference is a must. In the art industry, fame is also very important. To be a master, you must have enough fame.

"Okay. Thank you for understanding!"

Shen Menglin was full of gratitude, "Master Lu, I will trouble you this time."

The plane took off from Yunnan Province and arrived in Siam all the way.

After landing at Bangkok Airport, Shen Menglin brought Lu Li to the main branch of Xiangfenglou in Bangkok.

"Master Lu, this is the main store in Bangkok. There is a villa next to me."

Arriving at Xiangfenglou Bangkok head office, Shen Menglin turned to look at Lu Li and asked, "Are you going to the villa to rest first, or..."

"Go and see that piece of jade first!"

For Lu Li, where he lives doesn't matter at all, what he cares most about is the giant jade that is more than two meters high.

In fact, jade that is more than two meters high is not really a giant jade.

The famous king of jade in China, weighs 260 tons, like a mountain. Compared with the king of jade, this piece of jade, which is more than two meters high, can only be regarded as slag.

It's just... this is already the biggest jade that Lu Li has come into contact with.

Following Shen Menglin to the jade warehouse, Lu Li saw this giant jade stone more than two meters high.

The whole piece of jade is elongated and irregular in shape. The jade skin has been peeled off. The jade flesh has various colors, including dark green, full green, light green, black, yellow, red and other colors. The jade is crystal clear and free of impurities. There is no fracture in the whole body, and there is no penetrating pattern. It is indeed a good piece of jade.

However, such a large piece of jade cannot be of the same texture, but is varied, including top-grade jade materials, second-class jade materials, and low-grade scraps.

After walking around the giant jade stone, Lu Li even picked up a small hammer and tapped it a few times, listening to the sound of the jade stone.

After checking it again, Lu Li nodded slightly.

"Master Lu, is this material still suitable?"

Seeing that Lu Li's inspection was completed, Shen Menglin hurried up and asked Lu Li.

"good!"

Lu Li nodded, "Although there are some scraps, it's not too much. Overall, it's quite good. Those who choose this material are still very discerning."

"You flatter me!"

A reserved smile appeared on Shen Menglin's face.

"Oh? It turned out that Miss Shen chose the material herself?"

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "Sure enough."

"You feel comfortable with it."

Shen Menglin's heart was full of joy when she heard Lu Li's praise. I got the affirmation of Master Lu, which shows that my vision for choosing materials is still very professional.

"You said that this material is to be carved with a life-size Buddha statue, and it was designated by the Siamese royal family. So...do they have any requirements?"

Lu Li felt that this should be a "custom work", not just letting him play it freely.

"There are indeed demands."

Shen Menglin hurriedly took out a document and handed it to Lu Li, "Master Lu, look at it. This work is a Buddha statue used to celebrate the wedding of the Crown Prince of Siam. According to domestic sayings, this is a ritual vessel. Siamese The royal family still has some requirements."

Gifts?

The word is used incorrectly.

The sacrificial utensils of the Yanhuang nobles are called ritual utensils. Siam can only be regarded as a vassal state, not qualified to use ritual equipment.

Lu Xin murmured and didn't care, after all, Shen Menglin was just making an analogy.

Reaching out his hand to take the materials and flipping through them, Lu Li also knew the requirements of the Siamese royal family for this work.

First of all, it must be a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, and the size must match the height of Sakyamuni, so it is called a Buddha.

The other requirements are nothing more than the meaning of auspiciousness and happiness, and there should be no horrible shapes such as the devil's head of a hell yaksha.

After reading these requests, Lu Li nodded slightly. Fortunately, the delineated frame is not too dead, and does not affect the creation.

As a creator, the most annoying thing is to be limited in inspiration and creativity. The things that do the dojo in the snail shell are the most disgusting.

After reading the information, Lu Li has already made up his mind.

Handing the materials to Shen Menglin, Lu Li started to circle around the giant jade again, inspiration blossomed in his mind, and various composition schemes emerged in Lu Li's mind.

When Lu Li entered the working state, the giant jade in front of him was more attractive than the beautiful Shen Menglin next to him.

"Master Lu, I arranged a banquet in the evening to catch the wind and dust for you..."

"Don't be noisy!"

Before Shen Menglin could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Li waving her hand.

Lu Li completely ignored Shen Menglin's existence, reached out and touched the giant jade, picked up the hammer and tapped gently, completely immersed in the creation.

Shen Menglin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.

Well, artists are all eccentric. Master Lu's eccentric temper... Maybe it's a straight man of steel, right?

If Lu Li knew what Shen Menglin was thinking, he would definitely tell her. It's not that I'm a straight man of steel, but that you're not attractive enough. If Liu Qin was here, I would be too lazy to care about jade!

For the next few days, Lu Li was completely immersed in his creation.

After carefully measuring the entire piece of jade, checking the color and texture of every part from top to bottom, Lu Li began to shape the composition.

The various reception activities arranged by Shen Menglin were completely useless.

Lu Li completely ignored the dust, luxury houses, luxury cars, and beauties.

How can a beautiful woman be beautiful?

So... a week after coming to Bangkok, Lu Li plunged into the creation, and even the meals were sent by Shen Menglin.

It was the first time for Lu Li to create a giant jade sculpture.

The word zeal... well, it's actually a tiger-wolf word. Intrigued, then exuberant, you know.

After a week, Lu Li finally completed the overall composition.

The creation of large-scale jade carvings is much more work and takes longer than the previous small jade carvings.

"The Ten Thousand Buddhas!"

Lu Li looked at the 3D modeling diagram constructed on the computer screen, with a smile on his face, "Finally done."

After the composition is completed, I have to show it to Shen Menglin.

Lu Li turned his head and looked out the window... Well, it's already late at night, so I'll talk about it tomorrow.

Turning off the computer and getting up, Lu Li was ready to take a shower and go to bed.

Although it is still the end of April, it is already very hot here in Siam.

When I came out of the shower, there was a knock on the door.

Uh? It's so late, is anyone coming to see me?

Is it... sir, do you need service?

Lu Li smiled and shook his head. This is the dormitory of the main branch of Xiangfeng Building in Bangkok. It is definitely not possible that "technical workers" have arrived.

Reaching out his hand to open the door, Lu Li was obviously stunned when he saw the figure outside the door.

Not Shen Menglin!

Standing at the door is also a beautiful woman. She is a white-collar worker in the Bangkok head office of Xiangfenglou, and she seems to be Shen Menglin's assistant.

As for the name, Lu Li didn't pay attention at all.

At this moment, this female assistant, wearing a short skirt with suspenders, dressed coolly, with a charming face, "Master Lu, the night is long..."

Well, not a "tech worker", but also a "bed jock."

Lu Li glanced at the female assistant and sighed, "You want to say... the moonlit night is sleepless, may Xiuyan be well?"

"whee!"

The female assistant smiled sweetly, "Is this what Nie Xiaoqian said to Ning Caichen? Master Lu, do you compare me to Nie Xiaoqian? I'm not as beautiful as Nie Xiaoqian!"

"No! You are the same as Nie Xiaoqian."

Lu Li sighed, "You... are all ghosts!"

"Eh? Master Lu, you are so humorous."

The female assistant's face froze for a moment, and then she became coquettish again, "Master Lu, you... won't you invite me in?"

"No!"

Lu Li shook his head, "I'm still very taboo about ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night!"

"Master Lu, are you kidding me? What am I like a ghost?"

The female assistant deliberately twisted her waist and straightened her chest, showing "every point".

"The inner ghost... is also a ghost!"

Lu Li was helpless. Is she still involved in Shen Menglin's family fight?

"Uh...you're really joking."

A hint of panic flashed in the female assistant's eyes, and the smile on her face became more coquettish. The coolly dressed body leaned towards Lu Li.

Lu Li quickly reached out to stop him.

"How bad are you!"

The female assistant threw a wink and reached out to grab Lu Li's arm.

The action of grabbing the arm was very gentle at first, like coquettish. In the next instant, the movement suddenly accelerated, and a cold light flashed between his fingers.

It turned out that a sharp blade was suddenly caught between the female assistant's fingers.

This knife was aimed at Lu Li's hand, which wanted to abolish Lu Li's hand.

If the jade carving master loses his hand, it is equivalent to abolishing martial arts.

However……

Lu Li flipped his wrist and instantly grabbed the female assistant's arm. With a twist, the female assistant screamed and fell to the ground.

"Qing Ben Jiaren, how can you be a thief. Isn't it bad to be a human? Why do you want to be a ghost?"

Lu Li sighed and shook his head. I am a psychologist! You are not a professional spy, your micro-expression has long exposed you, and I can see at a glance that you have a problem.

Reaching out and picking up the phone, Lu Li called Shen Menglin, "Miss Shen, you'd better come over and take care of your family affairs."

Shen Menglin's face changed, and she said quickly, "I'll come right over."

After a while, Shen Menglin hurried over with a bodyguard.

"Master Lu, you..."

Shen Menglin looked at the cool-dressed female assistant, and then at Lu Li, who was wrapped in a bath towel, with a strange look on her face.

"She wants to attack me!"

Lu Li pointed at the female assistant.

"Uh...I see it."

Shen Menglin's face was very strange. Is there a difference between a night attack and a raid? Master Lu, are you a straight man of steel to this point? Beauty night attack, are you making such a fuss?

"It's a real attack!"

Lu Li spread out his palm, revealing a sharp blade, "She wants to abolish my hand."

"Um?"

Seeing this blade, Shen Menglin's expression changed, "Master Lu, are you... Are you okay?"

so close! so close!

Shen Menglin immediately understood. Her female assistant must have been bought by someone in the family.

Fortunately, Master Lu is a straight man of steel, and fortunately Master Lu has no plan between China and the United States, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable!

"take away!"

Shen Menglin waved to the bodyguard beside her. The bodyguard hurried forward and pushed the female assistant down.

"Master Lu, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Shen Menglin quickly apologized to Lu Li, "I will make up for the damage I caused to you!"

"okay."

Lu Li waved his hand, "I'm not interested in interfering with your family affairs. However, don't affect my creation. This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen again."

"Understood! I assure you, there is absolutely no next time!"

Shen Menglin answered seriously.

The next day, Lu Li finally knew what "absolutely there will be no next time"!

Because... Shen Menglin lived next door to Lu Li.

Shen Menglin personally brought Lu Li to eat, and Shen Menglin washed Lu Li's clothes by herself... All the trivial matters of life that had nothing to do with creation were done by Shen Menglin herself.

In this regard, Lu Li did not care, and devoted himself to the creation.

The giant jade has been moved to the workshop.

Because she wanted to carve large jade carvings, Shen Menglin also purchased special carving equipment.

These carving equipment were originally used to make large stone carvings. Essentially, jade and stone are the same, and these devices work equally well.

Fixing the jade on the large jig, Lu Li picked up an electric electric cutting knife, mounted the shelf, and cut the piece of jade more than two meters high.

Compared with the cutting method of small jade carvings, the cutting of such large jade carvings is drastic. The broken pieces of jade that were subsequently cut are equivalent to the whole piece of jade carved by small jade carvings.

It was cut with a knife, and pieces of broken jade were scattered.

Irregular jade stones were corrected little by little under Lu Li's knife, and the shape of the jade Buddha appeared little by little.

It took three days for rough carving and one week for fine carving.

As for grinding and polishing, it took Lu Li ten days.

Then it took another three days to carve the base of the Jade Buddha.

After Lu Li inscribed the two seal characters "Lu Li" at the bottom of the huge jade statue of Buddha, the large-scale jade statue of life-size Buddha was officially completed.

The entire Buddha statue is polished to a warm, lustrous, glittering, glazed shape.

The Jade Buddha smiled and smiled, with a compassionate expression.

At the foot of the beautiful lotus platform, there are countless statues of Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Eight Heavenly Dragons, and Buddhas in Lingshan carved around the lotus platform.

These Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Eight Heavenly Dragons, and all Buddhas of Lingshan are all respectfully worshipping the big Buddha standing in the center.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas are lifelike.

"Wow! Magical craftsmanship! Magical craftsmanship!"

Shen Menglin saw the finally completed large-scale jade sculpture "Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty", her face was full of shock, and her eyes were fiery when she looked at Lu Li, "Master Lu, you are amazing!"

"There are even more powerful ones!"

Lu Li smiled and reached out to turn on the light.

The light shone on the Jade Buddha, and on the top of the Jade Buddha's head, a colorful Buddha light suddenly appeared.

"Ah...this...this..."

Shen Menglin was stunned.

"It's just the principle of refraction of prisms. Is it necessary to be so surprised by the knowledge of physics in junior high school? The pimple hairstyle on the head of the Buddha is almost transparent, and it is easy to make countless tiny prisms."

Lu Li explained with a smile.

"Master Lu, you are the real master of jade carving!"

Shen Menglin burst into tears with excitement, "Thank you! Thank you! Your work is ingenious and unparalleled in the world!"
