Chapter 39: The Immortal Master
Zhou Yang nodded, pointed to the one on the right and said: "This painting, the number of years is indeed in line with that era, but I remember that Zhang Daqian is a great painter, and the peach blossom petals in this peach garden picture have only four petals...... A great painter wouldn't not even know that a peach blossom has five petals, right?"
Swish!
The hands of the three white-bearded old men stopped on their beards at the same time, you look at me, I look at you, and they were all silent.
"Grandpa, he must have said something wrong, right, it's just a flower, what does it matter if there is more or less of a piece, this is art and not a program. Shen Mengqi took Master Shen's hand and said.
"Art is also rigorous, it is five petals to paint five pieces, otherwise how to convey the spirit, he is right, this painting is indeed a fake. Master Shen sighed and said.
"I didn't expect it to take me a few months to open a fake, and you can see it at a glance, and it's really a master. Meng Changhe put away the painting and stood beside Cao Zhengqi.
"That young man, the last one, is it really?" Master Shen asked with a smile.
Zhou Yang looked at this painting intently, in fact, he didn't study the painting at all, Zhang Daqian he had only heard of it, but everything is inseparable, and the painting is inseparable from the word realm to a certain point.
"This painting has only reached the realm of desirelessness, obviously the person who painted this painting has completely looked down on the seven emotions and six desires, but it is not without desire, at least he yearns for a quiet and natural life......" Zhou Yang sighed and said.
"What is desireless, what is desired, you still haven't said the truth or falsehood. Shen Mengqi was unconvinced.
"To be honest, I'm not very good at painting, and I don't know much about Zhang Daqian, but since he is a real master, then this painting must also be fake. Zhou Yang smiled.
"How can it be that all three of them are fake, you guessed wrong. Shen Mengqi said happily.
"What's your name, young man?"
At this time, Master Shen sighed and stretched out his hand to ask.
"My name is Zhou Yang, the security captain of the village, you can call me Captain Zhou. Zhou Yang shook hands with the three of them one by one.
"That's right, you're right, it's not a real painting. ”
It's not genuine!
Shen Mengqi covered his mouth, this man guessed all right, could it be that he is really a master who is more powerful than his grandfather?
"Captain Zhou, I have seen the painting you made, although I don't agree with some of your statements, but I have to admit that your painting is better than mine. Master Shen seemed to be a lot older after saying this, and Shen Mengqi felt distressed for a while.
"Grandpa, your master of Chinese painting is much better than his. Shen Mengqi comforted.
Zhou Yang didn't refute either, he wouldn't hit an old man in his twilight years.
"Come on, take out the painting I made the day before yesterday and show it to Master Zhou. Master Shen said to the bodyguard behind him.
At this time, the bodyguard took out a painting again.
"Master Zhou, please appreciate it, this is my new work, a new landscape. ”
New Landscape People......
Zhou Yang just glanced at it and shook his head.
"Why, can't you tell, you must be an imposter master. Shen Mengqi said proudly.
"Do you have to say it?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Say, I'd like to see what you can say. Shen Mengqi didn't believe it.
Zhou Yang nodded: "The person who taught me to paint told me that in this world, all art will end up in the same way, and it will return to the spiritual realm of people themselves.
"Who said that grandpa's landscape paintings have already entered the realm of transformation, and after reading them, they are immersed in the scene, where has they not reached the realm of integrating into nature?" Shen Mengqi retorted.
"In that case, then tell me, can you feel your grandfather's mood when he painted after seeing this painting?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
Shen Mengqi looked at the painting for a long time, and her eyes flickered a little: "It must be indifferent and freewheeling." ”
"Really?" Zhou Yang looked at Master Shen.
Master Shen's face was obviously a little ashamed.
"I see a competitive heart in this painting, and I think you were thinking more about how to save face when you made this painting, or you want to win me, right?"
"Nonsense!"
After Shen Mengqi finished speaking, he found that his grandfather had a thick look of shame in his eyes, Zhou Yang, he said it again.
"I heard that you often go to the mountains and rivers to collect the wind, and often go to the countryside, but have you lived such a pastoral life, have you ever lying in the mountains to feel the pulse of the mountains, have you felt the combination of rigidity and softness of the water in the river, you don't, you just went to see and listen. ”
Zhou Yang's words shocked Master Shen's eyes, at this moment he seemed to have touched a magical realm, but this feeling was very wonderful, if it was there, it didn't seem to be there.
Mountains and rivers are the most common and easy-to-touch things in nature, and a few people have experienced them.
"You want to blend in with nature, but you don't embrace it, you just take it for granted to draw nature, which proves that your understanding of nature is very shallow. ”
"You are over seventy years old, but you are still competitive, you cherish your feathers too much, and even go out of your way to compete with me in the remote countryside here for a painting, is this kind of state of mind that a master should have?"
Master Shen sat weakly on the chair, and Zhou Yang's simple words were like a sharp sword piercing his heart.
That's right, he is too competitive, he wants to try it when he meets someone better than himself, and at the same time, his knowledge of nature is also very shallow, and his pampered life even makes him forget what dirt tastes like.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Shen Mengqi was a little anxious, it was the first time she saw his grandfather so lost, and she couldn't help but feel sad, and in a moment it was already raining.
"Zhou Yang, you bad guy. ”
"This ...... You asked me to say that. ”
Zhou Yang was a little helpless, and after thinking about it, he picked one of the two paintings in the old box and handed it to Shen Mengqi.
"This painting was made by the person who taught me to draw, and it may be helpful to you, but you can't sell it. Zhou Yang said.
"Drawing, what can your teacher draw. ”
After Shen Mengqi opened the painting, he took a closer look and saw that this was also a landscape map, but this mountain and this water, as if there was a strange magic that attracted his consciousness to float to the landscape in the painting.
And the three masters were also looking at the painting, and they didn't move their bodies for a long time.
"Xiantu, Xiantu, ......"
After about ten minutes, Master Shen took the painting as if he had received a treasure, and for a while he burst into tears.
"Grandpa......" Shen Mengqi's eyes were still a little confused, and half of her consciousness was still in the landscape in the painting.
Looking at the tearful Master Shen and the other two demonic barriers, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile.
This painting was made by the old man when he was 11 years old, and when he first saw it, it was the same as Shen Mengqi, and later the old man told him that this is not a painting, but a kind of realm, even if it is just a painting on the ground with a branch, the effect is the same.
After that, the old man stopped letting him draw, saying that he had no talent at all.
True, he really had no talent and no interest in drawing.
"Master Zhou, the old man has a request, and I ask you to grant it. ”
Master Shen has turned "you" into "you".
"Say it. Zhou Yang was a little impatient, he still had to go up the mountain to collect spiritual water.
"Disciple Shen Chongshan, please take me as an apprentice. "Saying that, Master Shen is going to bow to the teacher.
"No, grandpa. ”
Shen Mengqi took Master Shen's hand and cried, but Zhou Yang also stopped at the same time: "I'm not interested in painting and I'm not good at it, you better find another master." ”
"Master Zhou, you're right, my realm is indeed too low, not to mention the works of this immortal master, even yours is far inferior, but I don't want to admit it. Shen Chongshan said and took a deep breath.
"Your mentor is an immortal master, and I am not qualified to visit him, but I hope you will see it...... For Mengqi's sake, take me as an apprentice. ”
"Grandpa, how can you worship him as a teacher. Shen Mengqi said hurriedly.
"The master comes first, why can't I apprentice, come to Mengqi, and kneel down with me. ”
Shen Chongshan said and pulled Shen Mengqi to prepare to bow again.
"I don't want it, whoever wants to defeat him as a teacher, I won't worship this voyeur to death. Shen Mengqi struggled.
"Okay, there is no need for the apprenticeship ceremony, if you have to worship, you should be a registered disciple first, but I accept disciples all free-range. Zhou Yang Alliance diverted the topic, if this old man knew that it was convenient for him to accidentally see his granddaughter in the toilet, then he was not allowed to marry his granddaughter.
"Stocking ......"
Shen Chongshan was a little disappointed, but at least the apprenticeship was successful.
"Master, I don't know how many paintings you have like this, can you show me them all. Shen Chongshan asked in a low voice.
"It's just a good look at a wreckage, it's worth a few bucks. Zhou Yang shook his head.
"This is impossible to estimate, but if this kind of painting is to be sold, it will be tens of millions of ......," Cao Zheng said with a smile.
"I'll just say it's only a thousand...... Wait, how much do you say. ”
