Chapter 692 The mysterious ice carving master

Children who grew up in the Northeast are not unfamiliar with ice and snow. In the past, every winter, Tang Ning often took saws and iron drills with his friends to shaved ice on the Huma River, and then carved small animals and other things.

But he had never seen many huge ice cubes stacked together and built ice sculpture buildings that were dozens of meters long and more than ten meters high before. There were many in the park, some even larger than this scale, and some smaller ones, each with exquisite shape and crystal clear.

"Is this the world of ice and snow?"

"Well, this is the world of ice and snow. It is more beautiful at night, colorful and colorful, just like walking into a dream world. Basically, I go back to the provincial capital every year, and if I can catch up with the world of ice and snow, I will come once. Every time I have a deep impression."

Someone stopped him at the entrance of the park and was not allowed to enter casually. He wanted to go in and visit, so he got the pavilion next to him to buy tickets.

As Xu Taishi said, the world of ice and snow is coming to an end, and only a very small number of ice sculptures have not been completed and have begun to open to the public. It is not surprising, because the New Year will be in ten days.

After buying the ticket, Tang Ning twitched his tongue, "It's so expensive? A ticket costs seventy yuan."

"It's not the New Year, and the ticket price will at least double by that time."

With two tickets, the two entered the world of ice and snow. There were still many tourists like the two of them, and they were slowly visiting, taking photos.

In front of a castle more than ten meters high from the ground, Tang Ning stopped and he fell in love with it.

European-style buildings, with pointed tops, windows and doors, are exquisite and are basically imitated in one-to-one proportions. There are steps at the door and two ice doors are open. I don’t know if I can let you enter it.

At this time, above the castle wall, a little girl in a red down jacket poked her head out and waved her hand excitedly to the relatives below. Another young couple walked out of the door. Tang Ning grabbed the small hand of the squad leader Xu and said, "Go, Feifei, go inside and take a look."

"Tangning, please slow down, it's very slippery." As soon as he finished speaking, his feet slipped and he threw himself into Tangning's arms.

When the couple who had just passed by next to him saw this scene, the handsome young man secretly raised his thumbs up at Tang Ning and squeezed his eyes. Brother, your move is so high! Squad leader Xu suddenly blushed, beat him a few times, and then grabbed his hand and ran away.

There are stairs inside, which can be directly up to the top floor. There are also rooms and seating arrangements. It can be seen that building this castle is a considerable project. I don’t know how much it will cost to just have these ices. I feel that Tang Ning is very interested in this place. Squad leader Xu asked him in a low voice: “This is suitable?”

Tang Ning nodded, "Well, but don't hurry, let's take a look, maybe you can find something better than here."

The two of them wandered around here next. Squad leader Xu rarely showed his lively side like an ordinary girl. With a beautiful face, she ran and shuttled through the ice sculptures and buildings, having a lot of fun. The only regret was that the two did not bring a camera and did not leave beautiful photos.

Before I finished shopping, the sky started to dark. All the lights in the ice and snow world were lit up and I suddenly fell into a beautiful dream world. What I saw during the day was indeed very different from what I showed at night. That kind of beauty and dazzling colorful colors were hard to describe in words.

And at this time, there were obviously more tourists inside.

After buying two strings of candied haws, Squad Leader Xu was obviously more interested than in the afternoon. His beautiful eyes were brighter, and his pupils reflected the colorful light around him. With Tang Ning, a multi-purpose human-shaped heating stove, you don’t have to worry about the coldness around him. As long as you keep holding his hand, keep warm in winter and relieve heat in summer, it’s very useful!

After a while, after visiting for the rest of the afternoon, I found several places suitable for disaster. Tang Ning had lost interest in continuing to play. But seeing that Squad Leader Xu was still energetic and full of energy, he couldn't help but distract her from the mood, so let's continue to accompany her! Isn't it just this fate to be someone else's boyfriend!

When they almost finished visiting the entire ice and snow world, there was a master doing ice sculptures in their existing place. Moreover, the things he carved were different from other ice scene ice sculptures. The works created by artists around them were abstract and concrete, but no matter a certain shape, human, animal, or a certain type of building, they could not be separated from the category of art.

However, the works created by this master are all statues, statues in real proportions, fifteen or sixteen standing there, some completed and some unfinished. The carving technique is perfect, and the statues are lifelike and amazing.

Tang Ning looked at the statues one by one, and suddenly, he stopped in front of one statue and his eyes were slightly condensed.

This is a female statue, wearing a student uniform from the Republic of China era, with short ears and holding a book in her hand, with a natural expression. This is not the reason why Tang Ning stopped. And he stood here and his footsteps were difficult to move because he saw this ice sculpture look familiar. Although the carving object was very young, like a student from the old era, the charm contained between his eyebrows seemed like a real person.

Everyone has their own unique temperament, just like fingerprints and palm prints, which cannot be copied. Only extremely familiar people can imitate, or even make the real ones fake.

Tang Ning pointed to the statue of the girl and asked the squad leader Xu Da next to him, "Feifei, who do you think this person looks like?"

"She..." Squad leader Xu opened his eyes wide and watched carefully, because it was late at night. Although the lights around him were bright, there was still visual error. After looking at it for a while, she suddenly threw away the candied haws in her hand and covered her mouth and screamed in surprise: "This person looks like a grandma! It's so similar! This is basically when my grandma was young!"

Sure enough, I read it right!

But how is that possible! Squad leader Xu grabbed Tang Ning's arm tightly, and the two looked at the master who was concentrating on carving on the wooden rack.

This man was wearing a thick down jacket, felt boots, camouflage pants, a dome hat on his head and a plush scarf wrapped around his neck. He could only see his back and could not see his face clearly.

The two of them moved their steps slightly, afraid that they would disturb him by making a sound. They slowly turned to the front.

The ice chips were flying, and his head and face were all white, with ice chips and frost condensed by breath.

The brim of the hat was pressed very low, covering his eyebrows, wearing a mask, and a scarf surrounded his chin and neck. Except for his eyes, everything else was tightly surrounded. But his hands did not have anything to keep warm. He only held a dagger, not various knives for ice sculptures.

This man's movements were very focused, completely immersed in his own creative world, completely ignoring external objects.

Xu Daban leaned close to Tang Ning's ear with red lips and whispered: "This man is very powerful! Do you think these statues were carved with that knife?"

"Well, it's very powerful. The skill in your hands is so old that it's not limited by tools. He is a master."

The frozen ice is very hard, and no matter how heavy the dagger is, it will not weigh half a pound. If there is no force of more than a hundred pounds between the palms and fingers, when the knife is put, there will be no deep marks on the ice, let alone the large pieces of ice to carve out the figure.

Tang Ning had made an ice sculpture by himself and knew that when he first started carving the outline, some large pieces of ice at the corners needed to be cut out in one piece. At that time, he sawed it directly with a saw. But here, he did not find any other tools, only a dagger in this person's hand. So, how much force does it take to start carving the outline with such a lightweight dagger? Moreover, when carving to the subtle point, it not only requires enough force, but also mastering skill. This skill will all come from the hands without suitable ice sculpture tools.

This person is definitely not an ordinary ice sculpture master or artist, he is not an ordinary person!

Tang Ning and Squad Leader Xu held hands and stood together, standing not far away and watching quietly. They were carrying a little behind and not many people passed by. So they seemed a little quiet, and only the rustling sound of the tip of the knife touching the ice.

About twenty minutes later, the master jumped off the wooden stand, took a few steps back, and just stood beside Tang Ning and Squad Leader Xu.

"How is it?" The man suddenly spoke, his voice very old, and he was an older man.

"The kung fu is old and lifelike. The old man is amazing!"

The statue he had just finished was also a woman. He was tall and dressed in a cheongsam highlighted his delicate curves. He climbed his bun, had a flower in his temples, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked graceful, looking like a singer or socialite from the old Shanghai beach.

Look at this and then look at all the statues next to you. Tang Ning only suddenly appeared at this time. All the statues were dressed in the same style as the old era, and they were actually figures from the old age.

"It's not that I'm awesome, but that they all live in my mind and can't forget it. Just like your little girlfriend, if you want to carve a statue for her, you must be able to pick it up at will." Squad leader Xu's face turned slightly red, and his hand holding Tang Ning couldn't help but tighten.

"The old man has a surname? I also like ice sculptures. I hope I will have the opportunity to learn from my predecessors in the future."

He covered it tightly, only a pair of eyes exposed, his eyelashes were stained with white frost, and the mask was also white frost. Some places had become ice, and his body was covered with ice chips and ice chips. He looked at Tang Ning like a master walking out of the ice and snow, "......... it's familiar... nothing to teach people...... cough cough..." With a violent cough, the man left.

Tang Ning stood there without moving, like a wooden stake. Squad Leader Xu pushed him for a long time before he could react.

He was shocked. The man just looked at him as if he had penetrated his internal organs directly. What was even more terrifying was that at that moment, his body lost its ability to move independently, and even the blood flow became slow.

who is he?
