1. Magic pen

Once upon a time, there was a child named Maleonn. His father and mother had long since died, and he relied on himself to collect firewood and cut grass to make a living. He likes to learn to draw since he was a child, but he doesn't even have a pen!

Folklore stories

One day, he walked past the door of a school hall and saw the teacher in the school hall, holding a pen and drawing. Unconsciously he walked in and said to the teacher, "I really want to learn to draw, can you lend me a pen?" The teacher glared at him, "Phew! A mouthful of spit spat on his face and scolded: "The poor boy wants to take a pen and learn to paint?" It's a dream! And with that, he threw him out of the gate. Ma Liang is an ambitious child, he said: "I don't believe it, how can a poor child not even learn to paint!" ”

From then on, he was determined to learn to paint, and practiced hard every day. When he went to the mountains to collect firewood, he broke a branch and learned to draw birds in the sand. When he went to the river to cut the grass, he dipped the grass roots in the river water and learned to draw fish on the shore rocks. In the evening, when I returned home, I took a piece of charcoal and painted the things I had traced during the day on the wall of the cave, one by one. Without a pen, he learned to draw.

Year after year, Ma Liang's study of painting has never been interrupted. The four walls of his cave are painted with overlapping paintings, and all twist flowers are painted. Of course, the progress is also very fast, and the birds that are really painted are almost unable to call. The fish that was drawn almost couldn't swim. Once, he drew a little hen at the entrance of the village. There are eagles swirling around in the sky above the entrance of the village. Once, he drew a black-haired wolf behind the mountain. Frightened, the cattle and sheep did not dare to graze behind the mountain. But Maleonn doesn't have a pen yet! He thought how nice it would be to have a pen of his own!

One night, Ma Liang lay in the cave, because he was tired from working and painting all day, and as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know when, there was a burst of colorful light in the cave, and an old man with a white beard came. Give him a pen: "This is a magic pen, use it well!" Ma Liang took it and looked at it, and the golden light was shining; In the hand, it is heavy. He jumped up with joy: "Thank you, old man,......" Ma Liang's words were not finished, and the white-bearded old man was gone.

Ma Liang was startled, so he woke up and rubbed his eyes. It turned out to be a dream! But it's not a dream! Isn't that pen nice in your own hands!

He was so happy that he ran out and knocked on the door from house to house to wake up his companions. Tell them, "I have a pen!" "It's only the middle of the night! He drew a bird with a pen, and the bird flapped its wings and flew into the sky. Shout at him and start singing. He drew a fish with a pen with a bent tail. Swim into the water and dance to him. He was overjoyed. He said, "How good is this magic pen!" With this magic brush, Ma Liang painted for the poor in the village every day: whoever did not have a rake, he would draw a rake for him; Whoever has no ploughing ox, he will draw a ploughing ox for him; Whoever doesn't have a waterwheel, he paints a waterwheel for him; Whoever doesn't have a stone mill, he paints a stone mill for him......

There were no impermeable walls, and the news quickly reached the ears of a wealthy man in a neighboring village. So the rich man sent two families to arrest him and force him to paint.

Although Ma Liang is young, he was born with a hard character. He saw through the bad intentions of the rich man, and no matter how the rich man coaxed him and frightened him, and asked him to draw a gold ingot, he just refused to paint it. So the rich man shut him up in a stable and gave him no bread.

In the evening, the snow was falling in a flurry of snow, and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground. The rich man thought that Ma Liang was not starving to death this time, but also freezing to death. He walked past the door of the stable, and saw a red light shining through the crack in the door, and he smelled a fragrant smell. He felt strange, and leaned in to the crack in the door, ah! Not only did Maleonn not die, but he also lit a large stove, and while he was roasting the fire, he was eating hot cakes! The rich man knew that the stove and the bread must have been painted by Maleonn, so he went to the servants in a huff and asked them to kill Maleonn and take the magic pen. More than a dozen fierce servants rushed into the stable, but they didn't see Ma Liang, but only a ladder leaning on the east wall. Ma Liang took advantage of the darkness to climb the ladder and walk over the wall. The rich man hurriedly climbed the ladder to chase after him, but before he had climbed three steps, he fell. It turned out that this ladder was drawn by Ma Liang with a magic brush.

When Maleonn came out of the rich man's house, he knew that he could not live in the village, so he waved his hand to his village and said silently:

"Goodbye, guys!" Ma Liang drew a big horse with a magic brush, jumped on the horse's back, and ran towards the road. He had not gone far but to hear a commotion behind him, and when he looked back, the torches were shining brightly, and the rich man rode a fast horse, holding a bright steel knife in his hand, and led one or twenty servants to catch up.

Seeing that he was about to chase, Ma Liang was not in a hurry, and drew a bow and an arrow with a magic pen. As soon as the arrow was wound, it hit the rich man's throat with a "bang", and the rich man turned over and fell off his horse. Ma Liang patted the big horse, and the big horse galloped forward like a fly.

Maleonn ran on the road day and night for several days, and when he came to a town, he saw that it was already far away from his hometown, and stayed here. He painted many paintings and sold them in the neighborhood. Because he was afraid that others would know, he didn't let the painting come alive, and the things he painted were either missing his mouth or breaking his leg.

One day, he drew a white crane without eyes. Accidentally, a drop of ink was splashed on its face, and the white crane opened its eyes and flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

This caused a sensation in the whole town. The local officials immediately reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor issued a decree and sent someone to summon him to Kyoto. Maleonn refused to go, and they dragged him away.

Ma Liang had heard many things about the emperor bullying the poor, and he hated it in his heart, how could he paint the emperor! The emperor asked him to draw a dragon, but he drew a large gecko; The emperor asked him to draw a phoenix, but he drew a big crow. The big gecko and the big crow were very ugly, crawling and screaming in the Jinluan Palace, and they also got into a fight, making the palace a mess. The emperor was furious, and ordered his guards to snatch his magic pen and beat him to prison.

The emperor got the magic pen and drew it himself. He first painted a mountain of gold. The emperor, who was not greedy enough, painted one after another, painted one after another, and painted many on top of each other. Draw a good look, which is the gold mountain! but heaps of great stones; It was pressed too much, and it collapsed, almost injuring the emperor's foot.

The emperor is not dead. He thought to himself, if he can't paint a mountain of gold, he will change it to gold bricks. He drew a piece that was too small, a piece that was too small, and finally a long strip. Draw a good look, which is the gold brick! But it was a long python that opened its bloody mouth and pounced on him. Fortunately, the guards saved him quickly, otherwise, the emperor would have been eaten by the python.

The emperor had no choice but to release Ma Liang, and said some good things to him in a mock manner, saying that he would give him a lot of gold and silver, and that he would marry the princess to him and recruit him as a concubine.

Ma Liang was bent on regaining the magic pen, and he pretended to agree. When the emperor saw that Ma Liang agreed, he was very happy, so he returned the magic pen to Ma Liang and asked Ma Liang to paint for him. The emperor thought, if you can't paint gold mountains and gold bricks, then you can paint a cash cow! The cash cow is full of money, and with a gentle shake, you can drop a lot of money, how good is that! He asked Ma Liang to draw a cash cow.

Ma Liangxin made up his mind, didn't say anything, lifted the magic pen and waved, and a boundless sea appeared in front of him. The blue sea water, without a trace of ripples, is shiny like a big jade mirror. The emperor was very unhappy when he saw it, his face was blank, and he scolded: "If you are asked to draw a cash cow, who told you to draw the sea!" ”

Maleonn drew a small island in the middle of the sea, and on the island he drew a tall and big tree, and said, "Isn't this a cash cow?" When the emperor saw the tree, glowing with a dazzling golden light, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva in his throat, he giggled and said to Ma Liang in a hurry, "Draw a boat quickly!" I'm going to the middle of the sea to shake money! "Maleonn drew a very large wooden boat, and the emperor took his mother, the prince, the princess, and many ministers and generals on board.

Ma Liang drew a few more strokes of the wind, and the sea water set off dense ripples, and the big wooden boat started.

The emperor was itching in his heart, and thought that the ship was going too slowly, and shouted on the bow of the boat: "The wind is stronger!" It's windy! ......" Ma Liang added a few rough strokes. The sea was turbulent, the white sails were full of bulging, and the wooden boat was hurrying towards the middle of the sea.

Maleonn added a few more strokes of gale. The sea roared uneasily, rolling waves, and the big wooden boat swayed.

The emperor was frightened, waved his hand at Ma Liang, and shouted loudly: "The wind is enough! Enough wind! ......" Ma Liang pretended not to hear, and painted the wind without stopping. The sea was angry, and the waves rushed aboard. The ship tilted, and there was chaos on board.

The Emperor, soaking wet from the sea, clung to the ship's mast and kept shouting: "The wind is too strong!" The ship is capsizing! Don't draw anymore! ...... "Ma Liang didn't pay attention to him, but he still didn't stop painting the style. The wind was stronger, and there were many thick dark clouds, and there were loud and lightning, and torrential rain. The waves became more violent, and the sea was like a collapsed wall, pressing down on the boat one after another. The ship capsized, the ship shattered, and the emperor and they all sank to the bottom of the sea.

After the death of the emperor, the story of "The Divine Pen Ma Liang" spread. However, where Ma Liang went later, no one knows. Some said: He returned to his hometown and was with his farming partners. Some people say: He wandered everywhere, specializing in painting for many poor people. (To be continued.) )
