Chapter 891: The Man in the Painting
The pursuit of immortality is because you don't want to die, so what is the purpose of living?
Tang Chengnian's words rang heavily in Shang Liujia's heart.
"You like to draw, are you still happy if you don't let you paint?"
"If you weren't happy, wouldn't it be unpleasant to live?"
"If you live in this world and can't find something that you like and make you happy, how boring and sad it will be."
Shang Liujia smiled and hugged Tang Chengnian hard: "I understand!" ”
If you have cultivated to the realm of tribulation, and you have to be afraid to even do something you like, wouldn't this life be too boring?
Shang Liujia is really grateful to Tang Chengnian, not the kind of thank you to his benefactor, but he just feels that the lover next to him is such an understanding person, he is so happy. Although they don't know each other well enough, they are both willing to understand each other, tolerate each other, and change each other at a distance that they are willing to change - and at the same time are willing to accept change. Maybe when they get used to each other, this lover will become a Taoist couple.
Tang Chengnian and Shang Liujia are not people who are in a hurry.
In the realm of cultivation, a Taoist couple generally refers to a husband and wife who are both cultivators. Mortal husbands and wives pay attention to supporting each other, and the same is true in the cultivation realm, some pursue transactions, but more still hope to find someone who can be trusted. Of course, sometimes, many people just make do with that, or only see each other's true colors at a critical moment, such people are undoubtedly extremely miserable.
Fortunately, Tang Chengnian and Shang Liujia's relationship is different from many people.
They saw each other for what they really were from the start, and luckily they could both accept it. From the beginning, their relationship was trading, saving and being rescued, some were unintentional, some were intentional, but as they slowly got to know each other, when Qianfan passed, they found that they were so close unconsciously, obviously they were not even sure if they were friends, but they already had an inexplicable sense of closeness and trust in each other.
Maybe they don't know much about their own preferences and so on, but it's easier for them to influence each other and accept each other.
Even this person has accepted that if you like painting or tea ceremony, even if it is not the icing on the cake, it will not lose points.
Now, Tang Chengnian and Shang Liujia are still adapting to the feeling of getting along for a long time, you must know that the longest time they got along was in Central City, but at that time, they only met occasionally, and they usually did their own thing. Now, they have to walk together, stay with each other everywhere they go, and they may not have to be glued, but they have to get used to having to spend a large part of their lives with another person.
Tang Chengnian is more accustomed to being alone, but she also hopes to get used to staying with Shang Liujia.
If it's awkward to stay with your lover, it's hard to maintain such a relationship.
Shang Liujia coincided with her, and although they did not communicate, they made the same determination.
Being together is such a difficult thing, but if both people are willing to put in the effort, it's full of hope.
Untangled the knots in Shang Liujia's heart, Tang Chengnian looked at his painting.
"This flower is so beautiful, can I put it away? When the time comes, it will be framed and hung in the spirit carving shuttle, okay? Tang Chengnian was originally accustomed to collecting, but now that he has a "home", and both of them have the idea of wanting to decorate it well, Tang Chengnian naturally can't help but come up with the idea of participating. Hang this painting on the wall, I don't know how much color it will add to it.
"That's fine, but it's better not to hang it in the place where the camellia is kept." Shang Liujia nodded.
In fact, hanging calligraphy and paintings on the wall was originally a very common design, but Shang Liujia always wanted to plant camellia on the wall just now, so he naturally ignored all the arrangements related to the wall.
In fact, that didn't matter, the spirit carving shuttle is so big, there are so many cabins, and there is not only one wall.
"What are you good at, flowers?" Tang Chengnian already knew that Shang Liujia was very interested in camellias.
"Yes, I know more about flowers, and I am more comfortable with painting, but I don't paint those landscapes well." Shang Liujia smiled bitterly, although it was said that monks who want to learn to paint are more effective than ordinary people, but they also need to practice diligently. And Shang Liujia's painting originally had some meaning of hiding, how could it be possible to move painting tools to the field to "sketch"? He occasionally painted landscapes, but only relied on his own imagination, and those works were very disappointing to him, and they were usually torn on the spot, and none of them remained.
"Don't you like it?" Tang Chengnian didn't know about Shang Liujia's mind, so he asked.
Shang Liujia shook his head and explained, "No, it's just that I don't draw much, I'm not good at it." ”
"It doesn't matter, we will go to many places in the future, there are mountains and rivers, you can paint at any time."
If you don't like it, you can practice more.
Shang Liujia moved her pen twice in front of Tang Chengnian, and every time that focused gaze made Tang Chengnian's heart beat, as if a deer was bumping into each other, she was embarrassed to say, but in fact, she really couldn't help but want to see more of Shang Liujia's focused appearance. This is different from the usual Shang Liujia, as soon as he moves the pen, as long as Shang Liujia is engrossed, he occasionally raises his eyebrows, and every smile makes Tang Chengnian's girl's heart pound. For Shang Liujia, the "girl's heart" that hasn't moved for a long time is about to become a wild horse.
"It's useless for me to take these, you put them away." Tang Chengnian took out a large pile of paper from the red glass jade ring, various types, handed it to Shang Liujia, and pointed to the four treasures of the study on the table, paint, and said, "I heard that painters are all free, once they see beautiful things, they want to start writing, and if you want to use a pen in the future, you can't call me every time, so naturally you still hold it yourself." ”
After speaking, he looked at him with eyes that were not rejected by Shang Liujia.
Shang Liujia took the paper first, and suddenly smiled: "Beautiful? ”
He looked at Tang Chengnian, selected one from the pile of papers, put it on the stone table, and put the rest of the paper away. Then he took away all the paint on the table, washed the pen in the pen wash, and then dipped it in the dark ink in the inkstone next to him, and lightly scratched on the inkstone a few times, and then landed on the paper with a very relaxed gesture, still only the tip of the pen. The paper he picked out this time was more difficult to ink than Tang Chengnian's pick just now, but that didn't mean that it didn't absorb ink, as soon as the tip of the pen was swiped, the ink marks dried on the paper, of course, this was also related to his fine handwriting.
One stroke at a time, the work is neat, Shang Liujia is very casual, and after a while, a fair beauty is sketched on the paper.
Her black hair was tied behind her head, her hands were behind her back, and her posture was arrogant, although she was walking forward, she was looking back.
The slender arms are narrow-waisted, and the long skirt falls to the ground fluttering like mercury, which has a fluttering temperament.
"Who are you drawing?" Tang Chengnian asked.
"Far away, close at hand."
Shang Liujia raised his head, glanced at her carefully, then smiled and lowered his head, and began to paint the slender beauty's face.
The eyebrows are not thin willow leaf type, they look heroic, but they do not match her slender beauty's bearing, but soon, Shang Liujia painted her eyes, her eyes with a touch of joy, the eyelashes are fine, slightly covering the eyes, and the pupils in the eye sockets account for many parts, these factors are mixed together, lining the eyes with a sense of confusion, the tip of the nose is round, and the sharpness is reduced by three points, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, although only ink is used, but it also carefully depicts the richness of her lips.
Seeing this, Tang Chengnian stared at the woman in the painting and was already stunned.
Shang Liujia washed off the ink, dipped it in cinnabar, and gently touched the woman's eyebrows.
He looked up and smiled: "You are right, look at the beauty, I didn't know how to write before, I'm so sorry for these skills I learned." ”
This is just a joke, in the past, Shang Liujia regarded painting as a burden of love, and only when he really couldn't help but write, but when Tang Chengnian said it, he put his mind at ease and picked it up again as a fun thing.
Tang Chengnian walked to the painting, and Shang Liujia also let her go, so that she could appreciate it carefully.
The woman in the painting, needless to say, is far away in front of Shang Liujia - Tang Chengnian.
"You drew it, and it was really me."
Tang Chengnian almost couldn't help but reach out and touch it, but the woman in this painting did capture all her characteristics.
She has a sharp heart, but hides herself brilliantly for a lot of the time.
But how could Shang Liujia not notice it?
He actually painted this feeling of holding the pipa and half-covering his face.
"Your drawing skills are simply ...... It's amazing! Tang Chengnian praised sincerely.
Shang Liujia was proud in his heart, and he also showed it.
How can you not be surprised? is not only praised for what he likes to do, but also Tang Chengnian is the person who praises him.
His lover likes this, and, it seems, there is some little adoration? Shang Liujia had a rare sense of pride.
"I love this picture too." Tang Chengnian picked up the painting from the stone table very willfully and asked, "Is the ink dry?" Can I roll it up? ”
It's just that after finishing speaking, Tang Chengnian shook his head again, and said to himself: "It's better to put it away directly." ”
There is a scroll rolled up, and here there is only a piece of paper, which has not yet been framed with the scroll. So Tang Chengnian quickly realized that he didn't continue to roll it, otherwise the painting would have been destroyed by her.
Then, with a stroke of her mind, the painting fell into her system warehouse.
There is an extra painting in the grid of the system warehouse, and there will be an item introduction under the grid, probably because this is the only painting that Tang Chengnian put into the system warehouse, therefore, the name of the system is quite simple: the person in the painting.
When Tang Chengnian finished this qiē, Shang Liujia was still stunned and didn't react.
Is this put away?
Seeing Shang Liujia's dumbfounded, Tang Chengnian asked, "What, aren't you willing to give it away?" That's not going to work, I'll take it, it's mine. ”
Shang Liujia chuckled and patted her head gently: "Even if you don't want it, I have to stuff it for you." ”R1152
