Chapter 513: Seven Needles
“Of course, I understand what Grandmaster Yun said.”
Su Cha’s smile did not diminish and her eyes were calm. “But I believe Master Yun Zu is also aware that while even the embroidery methods of various major embroidery methods can produce such a pattern, can their effects really compare to Tang Embroidery? Plus, if you have some understanding, you should know that Tang Embroidery is the fastest technique in the world. The complexity of the needlework is the reason for its speed. Moreover, the most important craftsmans.h.i.+p processes in embroidery are Shun, Qi, Ping, Even, and Clean. Only Tang Embroidery can reach the pinnacle of these five processes.”
The Cloud Ancestor was shocked.
He looked carefully at the handkerchief in his hand again. The pattern did give him a familiar feeling.
In his early years, he had studied Tang embroidery for a period of time. Unfortunately, he could not understand its mysteries. He could only look at the embroidery and do nothing.
Now, a girl actually said that her work was Tang embroidery?
Judging from the brand new embroidery, it was obvious that it had just been done.
Thinking of this, Master Yun Zu said directly, “I want you to embroider a pattern on the spot.”
This was within Su Cha’s expectations, so she took out the pattern that was being embroidered. “This is half a cloud pattern. I’ve thought of proving that the embroidery method is not so simple. Half of it will be done here, and I believe Master Yun Zu has a gauge in his heart.”
She was not long-winded as she spoke. There were several needles in her hand. Just this posture alone surprised the Cloud Ancestor.
Tang embroidery was indeed different from others, but if the needle and thread were not controlled well, the more needles there were, the more difficult it would be, especially when it comes to… hurting the hand!
How painful would it be if she accidentally stabbed her hand?
The bald old man found it interesting. Although he did not speak, there was a faint smile on his face.
Su Cha took a stool and started her embroidery.
Even such a simple pattern would take an hour. When Ancestor Yun saw her fingers moving, his eyes widened.
The embroidery technique that Su Cha used had several needles working together. Since she was good, it did not affect her. Moreover, she had good control over her balance. She explained as she embroidered, “The basic level of Tang Embroidery is one needle, followed by three needles, five needles, and seven needles. Among them, seven needles are the most important. It is the pinnacle of Tang Embroidery. Only a few can achieve it.”
Ancestor Yun knew this. After all, although Tang embroidery was extinct, some basic knowledge had been pa.s.sed down. He counted the number of needles in Su Cha’s embroidery. There were exactly seven needles.
The Cloud Ancestor had snorted and boasted earlier.
But he had to accept it now.
He had never seen anyone who could use seven needles like Su Cha.
The number of needles used was the main embroidery method of Tang embroidery. All the major embroidery techniques believed that it had achieved a certain degree of beautification in history. It was very difficult to embroider Tang embroidery, but having multiple needles was an unbelievable embroidery method. Five needles were already the limit of one’s imagination. Unexpectedly, there were actually those who could use seven needles.
Master Yun Zu took a closer look. The size of her needles was also different. This was indeed very important in embroidery. If anything went wrong, it would affect the overall appearance of the pattern.
Master Yun Zu was already shocked by what she’d embroidered, but he could not believe it… she really used the legendary Tang embroidery?
But he had never heard of the Seven Needles Embroidery Technique.
Unconsciously, while Su Cha was embroidering, Master Yun Zu could not help but move his fingers slightly. He was simulating the needlework.
