It was almost noon before the car arrived in Dunhuang.

The ancient name of this place was Longxi, and Zhong Yue couldn't help but think of the years when he was in Daqian, and in a trance, the car stopped at a shopping spot in the city.

"Let's get out of the car and rest for a while, and we'll eat later. Although the young tour guide said so, the toilets and restaurants are generally inside the mall, so the words seem to imply consumption.

Zhong Yue naturally didn't plan to spend his kung fu here, and was about to leave the group alone, but was stopped by Alice Tam.

"Why are you going?"

"Go to the Thousand Buddha Cave, otherwise you really want me to travel with a group. ”

Alice Tam saw that Zhong Yue, who had taken a ride, was about to slip away, so she hurriedly said hello to the second elder, and chased after her with her bag, "We talked about it at the beginning, and I also plan to join this East China Young Artists Alliance, haven't you forgotten?"

"Well, when the alliance is formed, just fill out the form and register. ”

"Hey, don't be so ruthless. Anyway, we are also comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side. ”

Zhong Yue lifted the bag belt, stopped, and said: "Now according to what you said, the situation is very complicated, and I can't be sure if this alliance is led by me, so I can't promise you anything, I can only say that if there is a chance in the future, I may let you try it." ”

"When your "Zhong's Family Letter" was just famous, it was actually the best time, and many older generations in the book world recognized it at that time, after all, you were a little famous before, but in the past two years, you have not heard from you, and I and Changyu still thought that you were kidnapped and murdered by Gushan and them, and originally wanted to call the police, but then was stopped by your friend named Ou Yangming, and it was over. ”

"If you go so far, aren't you afraid that your parents won't find you later?"

Alice Tam said: "I told them, I will move alone with you." ”

"Your parents are really relieved. ”

Alice Tam blushed and said, "I'm ...... I said that my college classmates have something to worry about. ”

As soon as Zhong Yue turned around, Alice Tam couldn't stop the car a little and almost hit Zhong Yue.

"The problem is that we're not college classmates. ”

Alice Tam was a little annoyed by Zhong Yue's answer to a straight man of steel, and she followed like this, didn't this person understand?

"That, Huang Youwei said, she's your sister?"

"Hmm. Zhong Yue looked at the flying buildings in the center of the city, this city in Longxi is really small, so small that it is difficult to get lost here. The city built along the river is more like a collection of several small towns, and there are buildings in the west and east of the main trunk canal, but in general, the east of the river is more developed.

Zhong Yue looked at the map, and from here to the southeast, it would take about half an hour's drive, so he prepared to have dinner in the city now, and then rushed to the Thousand Buddha Cave. The climate in the northwest is really dry, this was once the origin of the Silk Road, out of this urban area, is the endless Gobi Desert, the scorching sun, in this environment, more like an oven, to cook people.

"What are you going to Mogao Grottoes for?"

Zhong Yue ate the local noodle dish, that is, the popular ramen all over the country - Lanzhou ramen, but the Lanzhou ramen here should be called beef ramen, he swept some chili sauce with his chopsticks, and said, "What can you do?" ”

"Are you going to copy the Wei Monument? Then you should come to our Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, where there are many fine Wei Monument relics, how can you come to Mogao Grottoes?"

Zhong Yue ate the noodles, looked at the few slices of beef thinner than paper floating on this noodle soup, and said, "Waiter, bring me another plate of cumin beef." ”

He knocked on the edge of the bowl and said, "Where I go, naturally I have my reasons." ”

……

……

After eating, the two drove to the Mogao Grottoes. There are special minivans in the city to pull live to the scenic spots. Along the way, except for a concrete road, the surrounding is the real Gobi Desert, and there is no life. This barren and vast Saibei style makes this trip more meaningful. Zhong Yue is a native of Jiangnan, his eyes are all beautiful green Jiangnan scenery, so the style of painting is also soft, the painters of the north and south schools do have great characteristics with the region, the northern school is rough and bold, the southern school is beautiful and dignified, this is not only people and paintings, but also the way of life, customs and customs, are similar to this.

On the rugged wilderness of the Gobi, Zhong Yue looked at the seven-story pagoda with red pillars and cornices, and also sighed, in such a sandy desert, there can be so many grotto Buddha statues hidden in it, these Chinese treasures are afraid, handed down for thousands of years, maybe he dedicates it in the way of painting, but also a kind of cultural inheritance and development.

"I want to collect wind and paint, if you want to follow, don't make a noise to disturb me, or you won't follow. ”

“……”

was rejected by Zhong Yue so directly, Alice Tam was also a little depressed, and said, "Who rarely follows you!"

"That's the best. Zhong Yue holds a cedar board in his hand, the board surface is fixed with felt, such a drawing board, Zhong Yue specially designed by himself, used to facilitate the drawing of small Chinese paintings, the difficulty brought by the wind, after all, in ancient times, Chinese painting rarely will be the word "wind", the ancients painted, many are not going out and paint the rivers and seas, three mountains and five mountains, pay attention to an image rather than an image, of course, to this day, the wind is understandable, especially Zhong Yue to the Buddha cave Buddha statue as the theme, showing the style of thousands of years of Gongbi figure painting, it is impossible to close the door。

Zhong Yue stood in front of the Buddha cave, using his pen and eyes, to outline here. It is just a small whisker, just drawing lines with pen and ink, such a single way of painting, it is the most singular and primitive way of painting before the appearance of techniques such as smudging and splashing ink.

Zhong Yue's painting inherited from Zhang Shengqian is different from the style of "Wu Belt Dangfeng" and "Cao Yi Out of the Water", but among the four major styles of Chinese painting, the famous "Zhangjia style".

Under the application of the eight methods of bone painting, coupled with the fact that Zhang Seng Miao himself is the originator of painting Buddha, Zhong Yue's pen is full of flowers, dotted and slashed, and the brushwork is smart, and the lines are vividly expressed.

In this era when Chinese painting is no longer determined by lines, what Zhong Yue is doing is to reshape the charm of Chinese painting, trace back to the source, and restore the most primitive and essence of figure painting!

In this era when the masters are hidden, in the era when the painting world is still chasing and remembering the giants of the twentieth century, Zhong Yue has taken this step and inherited the ancient style of the Wei, Jin, and north and south!

The Buddha is Zhong Yue's own style of painting.

In the painting with calligraphy, Zhong Yue's technique is not only as simple as hiding some calligraphy in the painting, but also completely integrating the eight methods of painting bones into the painting!

There are three thousand Buddhas, and Zhong Yue only takes one method!

However, this method can paint thousands of Buddhas!
