PS: I originally wanted to add two more chapters, but after reading the opinions in the book review area, well, I'd better reveal the mystery a little in advance. Sometimes, the thread is buried too long and too deep, and you are uncomfortable with yourself!

These two days of sketching were not easy.

Although Li Yi's current level is not bad, he is only bad at ink and wash landscape techniques, so not long after he first started painting that boneless landscape, he found that he should have been taken to the ditch by his master.

Although he is not sure why, he is particularly talented in calligraphy and painting, and his control of muscles is also handy, but there are some things that are not good.

Especially painting skills, which require an epiphany but require a lot of boring repetitive practice, are really not something that can be mastered if you want to.

Therefore, after painting for a long time, looking at the somewhat miserable picture, he resolutely decided to abandon the boneless method, even if the artistic conception of the painting was worse, he would finish the homework first.

It was a boneless method that had no way to try, and now it has returned to the old road of no way, and the quality of Li Yi's two paintings is naturally conceivable.

If some of his previous works have crossed that threshold and reached the level of entering the house, but his two paintings, just from his own eyes, are still not far from that threshold, let alone Old Man Hu.

Similarly, things such as gardenias and pomegranate flowers, which rarely appear in Gongbi flower and bird paintings, are obviously impossible for Zhong Qi to reach the peak of their paintings in just two days.

So, the two finally knew what Hu Jinquan meant by letting them pass the test as long as the painting was not too bad. This means that you can pass the level, and the time will be added, but it is not 5 hours, but 2 hours that are very humane and contain the meaning of care.

"Two hours or care? If I didn't have the previous 10 hours of foundation, I wouldn't talk nonsense, but now that I deduct the time to eat and go to the toilet, the actual sleep time is less than 8 hours, which is really pitiful! ”

After getting the results, Zhong Qi began to complain secretly.

"No, it takes you 4 hours to eat and go to the bathroom? 1 hour is enough, right? Besides, I think 6 hours of sleep a day is about the same, and it's a big deal to find a day to concentrate on sleep......"

"Stop, stop, I kind of understand, it turns out that you are here to help the abuse......"

After more than 20 days of going back and forth like this, the time for the two of them to practice basic skills every day has unexpectedly risen to 16 hours, and now, even Li Yi feels struggling, and even the toilet is rushing to the toilet and rushing back.

And when their practice focus finally shifted to starting to prepare for the competition, it was time for Lu Ningshuang to return to France, which finally gave them a chance to breathe and take a day off.

"I'm rubbing, grounding is really terrible, no, I must win the first prize!"

Walking out of the studio, Zhong Qi glanced at the sun hanging obliquely in the sky, and waved his fist vigorously.

"How likely do you think it is?"

Li Yi's words were like a needle, poking Zhong Qi's balloon and leaking with a snort, he scratched his scalp and pinched his teeth.

"We're assaulting, and so are others. What's more, if such a thing as painting is useful if it is practiced so hard, then painting will be worthless, and the painter will not be valuable......"

With a long sigh, the guy turned his head to look at the door of the studio,

"Don't talk about others, it's just the two first prizes that came to participate in this session last year, and we can't win. And after watching so many first-prize works, I found that their level has always been almost maintained at the position of touching the threshold of the second step, and I know that even if there are no opponents, the two of us want to win the first prize, it is not enough to rely on luck, and those judges are blind to ......"

Hearing this, Li Yi rolled his eyes, knowing that if you can't do it, you are still so desperate?

"I'm a dead person, I'm pretending to be pitiful! I hope that in the future, Master can see that the two of us are so desperate, and can be grounded for a few days less, and I will be satisfied. ”

After speaking, Zhong Qi glanced at Li Yi with ill will,

"Actually, I've been doubting one thing......"

"What?"

"Master didn't just know that there was a national competition today, but why did he attach so much importance to it this time? I participated in the previous one, and although I also had special training, I decided on the entries at the beginning, and I spent more than two months painting over and over again. Where is it like this time, it's a basic exercise and a sketch, I doubt ......"

Hearing him say this, Li Yi also felt a little wrong, and couldn't help blinking,

"What do you suspect?"

"I suspect I was killed by your kid!"

Before the words fell, Zhong Qi flew over, grabbed Li Yi's neck, and then panted and said indignantly:

"Lao Tzu has practiced the basic skills for more than 20 years, and on weekdays, the master didn't say anything bad, but he came to catch my basic skills before the competition, and this happens to be your shortcoming...... Say, "How shall you compensate me?" ”

Li Yi was caught off guard and was pinched by him and directly stuck out his tongue, and was about to fight back, when he suddenly heard this guy say this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Impossible, right? Master wants me to practice basic skills, just say no? Do you need to make excuses again, and find someone to accompany you?

"Straight to the point? Look at you kid, how many days did you spend in Yanjing before? A few homework a week, running around in Hangzhou, Taiwan, France, picking up treasures and gambling stones, and bringing girlfriends...... Damn, with you as a little junior brother, Lao Tzu is so unlucky! ”

Li Yi thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, could it be that the two masters thought he was too useless, so they deliberately set up this bureau?

With a slight twist of the hand holding Zhong Qi holding his neck in his right hand, he dragged the bluffing guy aside,

"Unlikely, right? If they want me to practice, just arrange it, I can really ......"

Li Yi couldn't go on talking as he spoke, he knew his situation very well.

It's like an appraisal of gambling stones, when he just got the spirit card, he really studied very hard, and even did not hesitate to interview Tongruibao as an appraiser. However, once he found that the spirit card should not disappear suddenly, for such a long time, although he still often pays attention to this aspect of learning, but that momentum is not the same as the first two months.

In the same way, his attitude towards calligraphy and painting is the same. When he first started studying, no matter how windy or rainy, no matter where he was, he could guarantee at least two hours a day, and even when he was in Hong Kong and Myanmar, he was taking the initiative to practice, and the average study time even exceeded 10 hours at one time, but now he ......

Li Yi bared his teeth, it seems that since he went to France, this time has been cut by him intentionally or unintentionally with various excuses, especially during this period of time, he and Lu Ningshuang live together, this time is even less pitiful, not to mention that it is often impossible to hold on for two hours, and even if it does, the quality is ......

Thinking about it this way, he felt that Master's arrangement this time might really be like Zhong Qi guessed, and the competition was just an excuse, and it was true that he had to take the opportunity to clean him up......

But......

This guy glanced at Zhong Qi, his eyes gurgled and rolled, just understand this kind of thing by yourself, you really have to admit it, and you won't be bullied to death by this guy?

"I think it's you who the master is going to clean up, right? How long have I been studying? Now the level is almost the same as you, even if you are a genius, it is impossible to be a genius to this extent, right? Besides, I'm still very young, and I'll have more opportunities in the future. And you? Even this time, there are only three chances left to participate, who will you whip if you don't whip it? Say, how are you going to compensate me? ”

Li Yi originally just wanted to make a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect that Zhong Qi himself was also weak-minded, Li Yi's progress was obvious to all, and Zhong Haoqing and Hu Jinquan were also very satisfied with this guy's performance, could it be that this time it was really because of him that Li Yi was pulled to accompany him?

Zhong Qi pondered for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker a little.

But then, he strengthened his confidence, this kind of thing, as long as he understands it, he resolutely can't let this guy know, otherwise he won't be pinched by his pigtails?!

"Okay, I sincerely point out your shortcomings and mistakes, not only do you not accept it with an open mind, but you also want to beat me upside down, see if I don't tell the master, let them give you more weight!"

"Cut! Scare me? I'm telling you, it's because of you! ”

"It's because of you!"

The two guys are like two bickering children, standing at the door of the studio, you and I are talking about it. After shouting a few words, they suddenly pointed at each other and laughed.

"It doesn't matter who he is, anyway, I found out, if I don't perform well in this competition, I'm afraid that the next days will not be too good."

After laughing, Zhong Qi waved his hand in distress.

"It's okay for you, your girlfriend is far away in France, and it's normal to not see you for a few months. I'm different, it's all in Yanjing, I haven't seen me for dozens of days, and I'm about to run away with others! Besides, your intensive training during this period of time has indeed improved, and the progress is still very obvious, but what about me? Sometimes, I don't think I know how to draw! ”

"Uh...... So serious? ”

"What do you say?"

"Then do you want me to tell the master, just say that you have been abolished from practice, and you can't even draw, so naturally you don't have to participate in that competition!"

"Get out! Be careful to go back and give you a small report about Xiaolu, just say that you have been fooling around with me every day these days, and you have been to all the red light districts, bars, and bathing centers......"

"! Come here, I'll let you see how many eyes Lord Ma has! ”

"Cut! If you have the ability, I will stick out your pinched tongue three feet long...... Damn, where did you kid get so strong! Help, help! Someone is rude......" (To be continued.) )
