readx;
After the old monk finished speaking, he opened a wooden box that he had brought with him. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Daozi was stunned at a glance, this box full of sketches, none of them were complete, and they were all a small drop of water, a wave or a layer of water waves, and at this time, Wu Daozi knew that he had made a big mistake.
Since that incident, Wu Daozi has gotten up early and returned late every day to learn to paint water droplets and waves, and on rainy days, he also went to the beach with an umbrella to watch the changes in the water waves.
The light is like an arrow, and three years have passed, and Wu Daozi's painting of water has made great progress, which has been appreciated by the master. But he never expected that the day after returning to the temple, the old monk fell ill in bed.
Wu Daozi knelt in front of the bed and said sincerely: "Master, I would like to paint that "Picture of the River and the Sea Rushing" for you. When the old monk saw that Wu Daozi, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, said such ambitious words, he was overjoyed in his heart, and his illness was half healed, so he agreed immediately.
So Wu Daozi walked into the apse and painted the "River and Sea Rushing Map", for nine months, he did not leave the palace, eating, drinking and sleeping all in it, Jing conceived the mural.
One day in late autumn, Wu Daozi happily ran out of the apse, knelt in front of the old monk and said excitedly: "Master, I have drawn the "Rushing Picture of the River and the Sea", please go and watch it. โ
After the old monk heard this, he was cured, he bathed and changed clothes, and led the monks of the whole temple to the apse to watch.
Wu Daozi gently opened the door of the apse, only to see the turbulent waves, and a monk rushed in front of him and exclaimed loudly: "Oh no, Tianhe has spoken." "The monks are so frightened that you squeeze me and run for your life.
The old monk had a bottom in his heart, stood at the door of the hall, looked at the waves in his face and looked up to the sky and laughed, and said to Wu Daozi: "Child, the "Rushing Picture of the River and Sea" you painted has been successful. โ
Since then, there has been an endless stream of literati painters who come to Berlin Temple to see and copy the "Rushing Picture of the River and Sea". But Wu Daozi was not proud, he studied painting more diligently, and finally became the "painting saint" of the Tang Dynasty in China, in order to help the apprentice to be aggressive, Wu Daozi adopted the master's method, and the apprentice and himself were one.
"Yes, even if you're still an antique master, what else do you know?" Li Tianbao asked again after listening to the words of the old man of the shopkeeper.
"I don't know about the rest, do you know?" The old man of the shopkeeper saw that his knowledge was timid, so he returned the matter to Li Tianbao, although he was willing to sell the painting to Li Tianbao for a dollar, but he did not want to lose to a person in professional knowledge.
"Old man, listen, I'll tell you other stories, master." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he told the story of Wu Daozi that he was told by Pixiuyan.
The "Miscellaneous Records of the Lu Family" records the story of a time when Wu Daozi went to visit a monk and asked for a cup of tea, but the monk was not very polite to him. He was very angry, so he invited a pen and inkstone, and immediately drew a donkey on the wall of the monk's room, and Wu Daozi left after the painting.
Unexpectedly, one night, the donkey he painted turned out to be a real donkey, and he was so angry that he ran back and forth in the house, and trampled on the furniture and other things in the monk's room.
The monk soon felt that it was Wu Daozi's donkey painting that was making trouble, so he had to ask him to smear the painting on the wall, Wu Daozi saw that the monk knew that he was wrong and apologized for the painting and painted the painting off the wall, which is strange to say, and since then the monk's room has been peaceful in the world.
On another occasion, the painting of the saint Wu Daozi came to Jizu Mountain, and the moon was exceptionally bright on the night of his stay at Jinding Temple. He and Zen Master Yuezhi drank to the moon, gossiped about ancient and modern, and talked very speculatively.
The Zen master said: "Master Jiuwen is a master of Danqing, take this good night, dare to ask the master to improvise a painting, one to open the eyes of the poor monks, and the other to leave a permanent memorial to the Han Temple, I don't know how to do it?" โ
Wu Daozi nodded again and again. The Zen master ordered the little monk to serve the marquis. After thinking about it for a while, the painter picked up the pen and made a picture of the horse, and the horse was really alive. Just as he was about to draw the last stroke, the ponytail, the painter felt that his chest was tight and nauseous, and he was very sad, so he put his brush aside, walked quickly to the courtyard, and vomited.
The deacon monk hurriedly brought tea and asked the painter to wash, and then went back to the meditation room to rest.
When he woke up the next day, the painter Jing was better, but he didn't remember the painting of horses, and after dinner, he said goodbye to the monks and went down the mountain.
After a few days, the Zen master carefully looked at the "Horse Map" and found that the horse's tail had not yet been painted, which was very regrettable, but he had no choice but to hang it in the side room of the meditation hall. The Zen master burns a furnace of incense in front of the painting every day, one to remember the master, and the other to watch the horse picture. The more I looked at the horse, the more I felt alive, as if it was neighing and trying to jump down.
Once, a dozen or so peasants at the foot of the mountain rushed into the monastery and said angrily to the Zen master: "The bald-tailed horse in your temple comes to eat our crops every night, and this time we are chasing it, and it has been running into your temple, and you have to pay back our crops." โ
The Zen master was really "the second monk was confused" and said: "What kind of horse does the Buddha raise? If you don't believe me, please search all over the temple. โ
The peasants searched everywhere, but they didn't see even a shadow of a horse, and they thought that the Zen master must have hidden it, so they entangled with him. The Zen master thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered the painting, so he said to the peasants: "Neighbors, the old monk really has no horses, but there is a picture of the horse painted by Master Wu Daozi, please come into the house and take a look." โ
When the farmer saw the horse in the picture, he was astonished to see that the bald-tailed horse was exactly the same as the bald-tailed horse they were chasing, and that it had a few green wheat seedlings in its mouth! So, pointing to the horse in the painting, he said, "This is it, stealing our crops every night." โ
The Zen master was furious, pointed to the bald-tailed painted horse and scolded: "Beast, it is better to send you to the fire pond if you are left to harm people." โ
As soon as he said this, he saw the horse fall on his knees, and his eyes were full of tears. The farmer was amazed when he saw it, and felt that it was a pity to burn it, so he said, "Forget it, as long as it sincerely repents and does not spoil the crop again." โ
Since then, people have often seen a bald-tailed horse coming down from Jizu Mountain to help the farmers, carrying firewood, wheat, and rice. Many people don't know its origin, but the more than ten croppers know in their hearts: it is the bald-tailed divine horse painted by Wu Daozi.
After Li Tianbao's story was finished, Jiang Tianqi, who was already a little fascinated by it, said even louder: "It's really interesting, Brother Li, is there anything else." โ
"Yes, I'll tell you later, I'll ask the old man if he agrees first." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he looked at the face of the old man of the shopkeeper with a shy face, thinking that the appraisal of calligraphy and painting must know a thing or two about the life deeds of everyone, but the old man of the shopkeeper only identified the authenticity, but he completely failed in his understanding of the author.
"It turns out that Mr. Li is a real master, little old man, I really have no eyes, I want to come to this painting should be yours."
The old man of the shopkeeper finally admired Li Tianbao's five-body appeal, but Li Tianbao's story just now was very interesting, and he still wanted to hear it, so he said to Li Tianbao: "Mr. Li must have something more colorful, can you say a few more." โ
"Brother Li, tell me quickly, there are more amazing stories." Jiang Tianqi couldn't help it for a long time on the side.
"Yes, listen to me tell you slowly." Li Tianbao made a look of an old pedant, and told him and Jiang Tianqi again.
One evening, Wu Daozi passed by a thatched house and heard the sound of spinning cotton coming from inside, but strangely he couldn't see any light inside, because it was late, so he didn't stay.
Early the next morning, Wu Daozi came to the thatched house again, and after a while, a white-haired old woman came out of the house and asked him to come into the house to drink tea.
After Wu Daozi entered the house, he took the tea and asked, "Do you recognize me, old man?" โ
The old woman said: "I know, I know, I went to the street to sell threads, and I heard that you were a Wu painter, and that you were a good person, and that you would not be troubled by the rich and the government." โ
Wu Daozi smiled and nodded, and asked her again, "How many people are in your family?" โ
The old woman said very much: "My husband died early, my son died of illness a few years ago, and I am left with a lonely old woman, who relies on spinning cotton and selling thread to make ends meet."
Wu Daozi sighed and asked again: "You spin cotton at night, why don't you light the lamp?" โ
The old woman said with tears in her eyes: "Hey, Mr. Wu, I spin day and night, and the money I earn is not enough to eat and dress, how can I have money to buy oil and light lamps, since my son died, I haven't lit a lamp for three years." โ
Wu Daozi thought for a while and said to the old woman: "Old man, your son is very bitter, and I can't help you, let's paint a picture for you." โ
Wu Daozi grinded the paper and began to paint, he first threw the pen dipped in ink on the paper, and suddenly many shiny dots appeared on the paper, and then lightly scribbled on the dots with the pen, and finally drew a circle in the blank space.
"If you stick this picture in the house, it will be useful." Wu Daozi said to the old woman.
Although the old woman couldn't see what the painting was, she was convinced that Wu Daozi was a good person and would not lie to her, so she happily took the painting, and then took out a handful of thread from the side of the bed and said to Wu: "Cฤo thank you Mr. Wu, I don't know how to repay you, so I will send you the thread to change the pen and ink!" โ
"I paint, not for money. If it's for money, I won't paint it even if you pay a thousand taels of silver. You'd better keep the thread for rice! After speaking, Wu Daozi packed up his painting tools and went out.
The old woman carefully pasted the painting on the wall in front of the spinning wheel, but she could not have imagined that a legendary scene would take place in the night.
When it was dark, the old woman found that the painting was a blue sky, with countless stars shining on it, and a round moon illuminating the house as bright as day.
Since then, at night, the stars and moon in the painting will shine, and it will be much easier for the old woman to spin the thread against the stars and moon.
Li Tianbao pursed his lips after speaking, showing his proud side, but all these things were told to him by "Pixiu Eye".
"It's so godly, it's just a myth." Jiang Tianqi said with a smile on the side. But his admiration for Li Tianbao has deepened a lot, including the shopkeeper and old man on the side, who also admires Li Tianbao.
Wu Daozi was inspired and cultivated by the rich and colorful nature to create a "splash ink freehand landscape painting" without outlining the brush, and became a famous painter in the history of Chinese art with a pioneering spirit, which is beyond doubt. โ
"Then how much is this painting saint worth?" Jiang Tianqi couldn't help but ask Li Tianbao.
"It's expensive, but it doesn't mean much to us, because it's meant to be given away." Li Tianbao even painted the price, but he didn't say it, he was really afraid that the old man of the shopkeeper would have a heart attack when he learned about it, but he didn't know that the old man of the shop had already known the price.
"Okay, it's time for us to go to Cai Yujie, she should still be there, and we asked her to help introduce Councilor Cai, which will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort."
Li Tianbao was full of support from Councillor Cai at this time, first, Councillor Cai had a grudge against Jiang Ba who wanted to assassinate him, and he could be used as a backing to compete with Jiang Ba, and he could also ask him for help to see if he could rescue Shuichi Yamaguchi.
Walking out of the door, Li Tianbao and Jiang Tianqi began to look for Cai Yujie in the entire antique market, but the two who didn't even let go of the women's toilet didn't even see a shadow of her.
"Brother Li, I've been to the women's toilet twice, and I haven't seen the shadow of that woman, what should we do?" Jiang Tianqi didn't know what to do, so he had to ask Li Tianbao.
"Since you can't find it, forget it, go back to Zhang Xiao and try to see if you can help contact that Councilor Cai."
Li Tianbao was actually very unhappy in his heart, he had saved Cai Yujie's life when she was in danger, but she had just met her, but she left, how could this not make him angry.
Jiang Tianqi took Wu Daozi's landscape painting and followed Li Tianbao out of the antique city.
"Li Tianbao, I've been waiting for you for a long time, get in the car." After the back door of a commercial vehicle at the door opened, Cai Yujie beckoned to Li Tianbao.
"So you were here, I thought you were gone?" Li Tianbao was a little unhappy, but at the same time, he also had a sense of luck, in short, no matter what, it would be good to successfully contact Councilor Cai.
Li Tianbao did not hesitate, walked into the car in two steps, sat next to Cai Yujie, and found that the commercial vehicle was modified, and it was separated from the cab by a steel plate, and it was known from the special material of the metal that it was a bulletproof car.
"You can't get in the car." Just when Jiang Tianqi also wanted to get in the car, the bodyguard at the door stopped him.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Jiang Tianqi was a little unhappy, it wasn't that the treatment was different, he was just afraid that Li Tianbao would encounter some danger.
Li Tianbao pondered for a moment, shook his head at Jiang Tianqi, signaled that he was useless, and reached out to take Wu Daozi's painting, and then instructed Jiang Tianqi to go home and fight Wang Fei and the others.
After the car door closed, the car moved slowly, and Cai Yujie, who was sitting opposite Li Tianbao, looked at him with a smile When she found the injury on Li Tianbao's arm, she asked a little distressed: "I'm sorry, I didn't find the injury on your arm just now, I went to the hospital before I came here, but they said you didn't know when you left." โ
Cai Yujie put her hand next to the wound on Li Tianbao's arm and gently soothed it, and then leaned over the wound and blew softly.
"Wow, what a Xing sense of rugou."
"What are you looking at?" Cai Yujie, who found that Li Tianbao's eyes were a little wrong, asked.
Li Tianbao hurriedly straightened up, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he followed up and asked, "By the way, what gifts did you buy in the antique city?" โ
"By the way, aren't you an antique dealer? I'll show you if what I bought is worth the price. After Cai Yujie finished speaking, she took out a red jewelry box from her handbag, and then put it in front of Li Tianbao.
"It turned out to be a jade pendant, a very top-level Hetian jade." After Li Tianbao opened the brocade box, he found that there were two pendants of Hetian jade, which were shaped like a Buddha and a goddess of mercy.
"Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, are you sending your boyfriend?"
Li Tianbao didn't know if Cai Yujie had a boyfriend before, but when he saw that it was a pair of pendants, he thought of this.
"Boyfriend?" Cai Yujie was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, Li Tianbao said: "I don't know if it's a boyfriend, but I like him, but I don't know if he likes me or not." โ
"Oh, she actually has someone she likes, it's not easy to soak." Although Li Tianbao feels that things are difficult to do, he is not afraid of challenges and moves forward bravely.
"I see!" After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he didn't mention it, but asked Cai Yujie about Councilor Cai, and naturally wanted to ask her to help introduce him.
Cai Yujie heard Li Tianbao's meaning extremely smartly, and suddenly showed a weird smile on her face, and stared at Li Tianbao with a pair of big eyes, as if a mother saw her child's little secret.
Li Tianbao was a little uncomfortable by Cai Yujie, but this kind of thing is really not a fair thing in his heart, so his eyes flashed a little, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Don't look at me like that, I just want to give a gift, what's wrong?"
Li Tianbao was a little anxious by Cai Yufen, and changed his submissive appearance just now, but became straightforward, and looked directly into her eyes, without the slightest embarrassment.
Cai Yufen blinked, she had never looked at Li Tianbao for so long, and slowly, her face became a little rosy, which is difficult to see with this temperament beauty.
Slowly, Li Tianbao looked at Cai Yufen's delicate sรจ with a slight flush, in his eyes she was more beautiful and more feminine, which made him suddenly have the idea of wanting to kiss that skin.
"Don't be stingy, what are you afraid of, do you have a favorite person, kiss and say."
Li Tianbao thought for a while, and then slowly approached Cai Yufen, at first, she dodged shyly, but then she didn't move, but her body trembled a little because of shyness.
When Li Tianbao's lips were almost on Cai Yufen's face, the car stopped, and at the same moment, the door was opened.
Cai Yufen hurriedly dodged Li Tianbao's mouth, and then walked outside the car with the help of a fashion girl.
Li Tianbao was naturally unhappy, because this may be the last chance to kiss Cai Yufen, obviously if she has a boyfriend, it will be difficult for her to have any good opportunities.
Li Tianbao walked out of the car door, and in front of him was a three-story building comparable to any villa, the green trees in the ancient courtyard were very dense, and the entire courtyard of the river was almost completely covered except for the road.
