Chapter 80: Phoenix dances for nine days
"This is the owner of this phoenix shawl, Mr. Zhao!" Manager Wang introduced quickly.

Several old ladies obviously had some guesses. When they heard what Manager Wang said, they all turned their attention to Zhao Shi. The elegant old lady Lin asked, "Mr. Zhao, which master created this phoenix shawl?"

The other old ladies also stared at Zhao Shi with shining eyes.

They were also very curious.

When ordinary embroiderers see something like this, they will just say, "That's not that difficult." They can make it if they are given some time.

This is not a lie. With modern mechanical technology, it is not difficult to make a phoenix bridal cape.

The hard part is that it’s all handmade.

You know, only things that are entirely handmade are worthy of being collected. In the eyes of those collectors, only works that are entirely handmade have charm and soul. In other words, every work of a master actually contains the master's painstaking efforts, and this is the soul of the work.

However, only when they reached this stage did they understand how difficult it was to embroider a phoenix bridal cloak.

wrong.

It should be about how difficult it is to embroider a phoenix cape that can be sold and dare to be sold.

"Masters, this phoenix cape was made by an unknown old woman from a mountain village during her prime!" Zhao Shidao said.

"Oh!"

Several people nodded in understanding.

They believed this.

They all knew the masters of embroidery today, but none of them matched the identity of the owner of this phoenix cape, and the needlework used were dozens of types that had never been seen before.

Only those people who have never appeared in the world are qualified to be the owner of this phoenix cape.

Moreover, these needlework techniques inspired them a lot.

"I wonder if we can visit the master?" Old Mrs. Lin asked after a moment of hesitation.

This is actually taboo.

But they were too curious. If they did not go to meet a living master and ask for advice, it would always be a regret for them.

"I'm sorry, masters, the old lady is no longer here!" Zhao Shi said after thinking for a while.

no way.

It's a world away!

Even if he wanted them to see him, they couldn't.

"This"

"Oh, what a pity!"

“I didn’t get to meet this Grandmaster!”

"Yes! This is God's will to end my embroidery lineage!"

When the old ladies heard what Zhao Shi said, the smiles on their faces disappeared and they began to sigh.

Only Manager Wang showed joy upon hearing this.

Excellent product!

Even a unique piece!

Once this gimmick comes out, the value of this phoenix bridal robe will increase by several levels.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhao, where is the village of this master? We want to go there to pay tribute and then write a biography for this master. Such a person should leave a mark in the history of embroidery!"

After recovering, Old Lady Lin asked Zhao Shi.

"Sorry!" In response, Zhao Shi just shook his head.

"Uh"

When the old ladies heard what Zhao Shi said, they were stunned for a moment, and then they understood.

This should be Mr. Zhao's business secret.

But, that's right, this person is not from the embroidery industry, but just a businessman. There is only one thing they have to do, which is to protect their business secrets in exchange for the greatest benefits.

They don't care about the embroidery world or the heritage at all.

There are many people like this, including Babaozhai, who just does a little better than others. Therefore, they have no right to criticize Zhao Shi.

However, when he looked at Zhao Shishi again, his attitude became much colder.

Old Lady Li patted the other old ladies gently as a way of comforting them, and said, "Old Lin, we haven't opened this phoenix bridal veil because we are waiting for you."

"Yes, Lao Lin, whether you can become a top-notch talent depends on this one move of yours!"

"Ah, after thirty years, I finally see Feng Wu Jiu Tian again! Time flies!"

Several other old ladies also looked emotional.

"Grandma Li, Grandma Lin, I've only heard you mention Feng Wu Jiu Tian a few times. What exactly is Feng Wu Jiu Tian?" Manager Wang asked curiously.

What about this problem?
This is exactly what Zhao Shi wanted to ask.

Several old ladies mentioned Feng Wu Jiu Tian twice.

"Phoenix Dances in the Sky! It's a set of techniques, specifically used to open the Phoenix Cape. This set of techniques was created by a patriarch of Old Lin's lineage, who also made a Phoenix Cape. In order to better display the Phoenix Cape, he created this technique!" Old Lady Li said with emotion. Hearing what Old Man Li said, Old Lady Lin also spoke up and said, "This set of techniques has been passed down in our lineage, but there are not many opportunities to use it. If you are not a real Phoenix Cape, you are not qualified to use this set of techniques! It has been seventy years since I learned this set of techniques, and I only used it once thirty years ago!"

After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she elegantly carried the tray to the center of the office, grasped the folded shawl by her shoulders with both hands, and shook them gently. The shawl, which was originally as light as gauze, instantly fluttered in the air.

It was like a phoenix sleeping in the flames, gradually raising its head from the flames, then stretching, and starting to dance sleepily.

“This is the first form of Phoenix Dancing in the Nine Heavens, born from fire!” Old Madam Lin’s voice sounded just in time as the Phoenix took off.

With another shake of the hand, the phoenix bridal robe began to flutter and wave in the air.

Instant!

The phoenix embroidered on the phoenix shawl seemed alive, with its wings spread and its tail feathers fluttering, and the red gauze dress looked like a dancing flame.

this moment.

The golden phoenix soars in flames!

Under the light, the two ruby ​​eyes flashed a dazzling red light, like two blazing fire eyes, or like gods looking down on the world!
"The second form, the golden phoenix spreads its wings for the first time!" said Old Lady Lin.

embroidery?

Do not!
This is a real phoenix.

Phoenix on fire!

"hiss"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Shi took a breath and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Ah, what a beautiful phoenix bridal gown!"

"Ah, this is the beauty of embroidery, which can never be compared with mechanical creations!"

"What a shame! This phoenix bridal cape may be the last of its kind!"

When the old ladies saw this scene, they couldn't help but sigh.

indeed!

Very shocking.

Even if they had seen such a situation once, they would still be amazed by it.

Old Mrs. Lin did not stop, but shook her hands again. The phoenix bridal veil, which was originally like a wave, rose directly into the sky. Where was the phoenix on the embroidered clothes?

Also flew straight up.

Flapping wings!

The five tail feathers move with the wind.

As the phoenix flew straight up into the sky, it seemed as if the sound of a phoenix's cry could be heard.

Not an auditory hallucination!

It was the cry of a real phoenix. This had to be attributed to the ingenuity of the design and the superb technique. When the phoenix flew straight into the sky, the sound was made by the wind pressure formed by the phoenix cape and the air.

"The third form, Phoenix sings across the world!"

After a moment, Mrs. Lin grabbed the phoenix cape and shook her shoulders again. What about this time? Mrs. Lin's legs moved quickly around the office, and a golden phoenix bathed in flames followed her footsteps and soared, surveying the sky and the earth.

"This is the fourth form, the Golden Phoenix Patrolling the Sky!"

"The fifth type, Golden Phoenix Facing the Sun!"

"The sixth type, the golden phoenix brings good luck!"

"The seventh type, Phoenix dances across the world!"

"The eighth type, Phoenix Nirvana!"

"This is the ninth form, Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!"

After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, her shaking hands stopped instantly, and the golden phoenix that was originally flying through the sky and earth also stopped, floating quietly in the sky. Around the golden phoenix, countless colorful light spots appeared without anyone knowing, and under the light, they flashed like a rainbow.

hiss.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the room gasped.

Even Zhao Shi is the same.

They were very sure that the phoenix cape had no other color except the golden phoenix, they were sure of that, but what about the sudden flashes of light? The most important thing was that these light spots formed the shapes of small birds one after another, guarding the golden phoenix, which was like a dream.

After a while, the phoenix shawl floating in the air gradually fell down. Old Mrs. Lin was a little out of breath and exclaimed, "I didn't expect it! This phoenix shawl can actually perfectly display the nine forms of the phoenix!"

"The phoenix cape donated to the museum thirty years ago could only display eight forms. Even this is a rare and exquisite piece!"

After Mrs. Lin’s explanation, Zhao Shi and these masters also realized that phoenix peony and phoenix peony are different.

An ordinary phoenix bridle can be considered top quality if it can display four or five forms. There have only been one or two phoenixes with eight forms in history.

What about this phoenix bridal cape?
It can actually display nine forms.

She had never thought that the ninth form could be displayed perfectly.

But it apparently worked out at the last minute.
