Chapter 890: Conscience

Then, Shang Liujia remembered Tang Chengnian's question just now.

She said to paint color on these lines?

Of course, this Shang Liujia has studied, and in order to paint, he has read a lot of classics, and he has also appreciated and studied a lot of pictures.

It's a pity that those shocking works are all mortals, and it seems that the facts are proving that cultivators should not dabble in this kind of ...... Something that doesn't matter.

"Do you want to see them colored?" Shang Liujia asked tentatively.

Although Tang Chengnian can occasionally look at people's eyes, he can't see anything from Shang Liujia's casual appearance.

If she was wary of him, of course she would study his micro-expressions, but she didn't feel that Shang Liujia was a subject that needed to be wary of her. She didn't need to have any suspicions about him, she could trust him, and they could say something that had nothing to do with cultivation now. Just like she thought before, get to know each other! Now they can talk about what they like, although Tang Chengnian doesn't know much about this kind of thing, but that doesn't affect her liking this.

"It's not bad to try. Anyway, as long as it looks good, no matter what the style...... Actually, I don't know much, it seems, you probably know more than I do, do you think you should paint the colors on these lines? Still is...... Anything else? Tang Chengnian turned out color blocks such as cinnabar, and took out other inkstones, water, and new white paper.

Shang Liujia glanced at it and said, "It's better to draw a new one." ”

When it comes to color, he still prefers more wanton strokes.

Tang Chengnian nodded: "You can draw as much as you want, I'll just take a look at it from the side." ”

Shang Liujia's painting skills can be called a master, and Tang Chengnian can't get rid of the thoughts from beginning to end next to him - although he can't understand what these actions mean, he always feels that they should be very powerful. Like grinding color blocks, adjusting water, depth and shallowness, the pen is no longer the monotonous thin lines of hair just now, and the pressure pen leaves a wide handwriting on the paper, and when it is closed sideways, the handwriting becomes from thick to thin again. Shang Liujia can even control the tail marks of handwriting, staggered, sharp, broad, and even pointed on both sides and retracted in the middle.

Tang Chengnian looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked to his side.

Hey?

No wonder she felt familiar, wasn't this piece of paper the scene in the garden today?

Shang Liujia completely grasped the point, which was the scene of camellia flowers placed in front of the wall opposite her. Of course, for the painter Shang Liujia, this view is from the side, he only looked up, remembered, lowered his head, and took in all the qiē he had just seen in his eyes. The color of those gradient petals was completely rubbed on the paper by him, and the color was exactly the same, without the slightest deviation, Tang Chengnian took a look, this painting was as if it was taken with a camera, of course, it was also processed by the "ink painting" in the computer software.

Tang Chengnian looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he couldn't see through it.

Perhaps, it was a very correct decision in the first place.

It turned out that there were still so many unknowns in Shang Liujia that she didn't know. Tea ceremony, painting, what else will come in the future?

In fact, this piece of paper is not very large, so Shang Liujia quickly finished drawing. It's just that when he finishes it, his movements are a little hesitant, not as attentive as when he was engrossed in painting just now, as if he was thinking about something else, so the last few strokes are slightly hesitant and sloppy. However, even if these few strokes seem hesitant and sloppy, they are above the level of many people, not to mention that the whole picture is already extremely exquisite, and they do not cause any undue defects to the completeness of this picture.

Although Tang Chengnian didn't know how to draw, he had a keen heart, and she looked up at Shang Liujia, estimating that he was struggling with something.

Shang Liujia spoke quickly, and it seemed that he didn't want to hide it from her.

"Actually, if you use jade slips, you can also rub out what you think in your heart, exactly the same, more ...... than painting More like the real thing, right? Shang Liujia put the pen on the inkstone beside him, and he was so entangled in this doubt that he even forgot to wash the paint on the pen. He asked, putting down his pen, resting his hands on the edge of the stone table, and grasping them slightly. He didn't exert so much force that the green tendons on the back of his hands became obvious, but his expression also showed undisguised tension.

"Yes, I don't know how to draw, but I can use the jade slip to show people what I want him to know." Although Tang Chengnian was keen, he obviously didn't have enough talent for off-topic tapering, and inadvertently made up for it.

What she said was the last time she used Yu Jian to recall Ming Yueqian's face and show Sheng Fei what it looked like.

After all, her apprentice is a little fan of Ming Yueqian.

Shang Liujia's hand trembled unconsciously.

"Really? That...... If there is a jade slip, isn't it a bit ...... to draw? Superfluous? Shang Liujia asked in a low voice.

He seriously wanted to get a reminder from Tang Chengnian.

Sometimes, outsiders see better than insiders, and many people think so.

There is also an old saying, "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear".

However, the premise is that the bystander is really responsible, can realize the confusion and persistence of the authorities, and the bystander must also have some understanding of the cause and effect. Otherwise, it will be as tragic as the "Bigan" in the myth and legend "Fengshen List".

In the ancient myths and legends "Fengshen Bang", Bigan was the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, one of the three loyal ministers of the King of Zhou, and his uncle. Bigan has a "Seven-Trick Heart", a very rare heart that is born with seven holes. Of course, this is a myth, so there is no need to cling to the seven holes of the heart, whether there will be any sequelae. Soon after, Daji learned of this and asked Bigan to cut out the heart and present it to the king.

Jiang Ziya gave Bigan a spell protection and made him take a rune, which could protect Bigan's internal organs, so that he would not die even after cutting out his heart. However, after dissecting the heart, if he meets someone selling heartless vegetables on the road, Bigan must ask him, "What would happen if a person was careless". If the vegetable seller answers, "People can live without heart", it is better to be better than to do it, and they will not die; If the vegetable seller replied, "If you don't have the intention, you will die", and Bigan will be killed immediately.

Later, Bigan really broke his heart and soon met a vegetable seller. After questioning, the woman replied, "If you don't have a heart, you die," and when she was bleeding, she screamed and screamed.

This is the result of the authorities looking for an outsider who does not know the situation.

If the vegetable seller knew the situation, he would have understood how she would have to answer in order to save the life of this loyal servant.

It's a pity that she doesn't know the situation, so naturally she can only say according to what she knows, if people have no heart, isn't there only one way to die?

Even in mythology, mortals are still only mortal minds.

However, Tang Chengnian was not the kind of person who didn't know the situation, although she didn't know much, but she could see that Shang Liujia was seriously asking her for an answer. She didn't speak immediately, she first looked at Shang Liujia's appearance, and then she could see the entanglement and confusion on his face, if she answered casually, he might also listen, after all, he was now tangled and swaying. Unless he is really firm, even if she says an answer he doesn't want, he still chooses his own idea, but if he is really firm, how can he ask her?

Therefore, she naturally has to think about it carefully, and she can't prevaricate him casually.

Tang Chengnian thought about it seriously and replied, "I don't think it's redundant." ”

"However, cultivators generally don't do this, only mortals, they can't cultivate immortals, so they can only use this kind of ...... to play time. Shang Liujia was a little emotional, and he asked, "Am I wasting my time?" ”

Tang Chengnian shook his head and asked him, "Do you like to draw?" ”

Shang Liujia hesitated for a moment and nodded.

He didn't know if the answer was correct, but he did, and it was a genuine answer.

Tang Chengnian smiled: "Since you like it, just keep doing it." Painting is originally the mood of the painting at the time, and it is also the appearance that the painter wants to express. It's not about imagining it, it's like there's a saying among mortals, 'godlike', you know? I think, your painting is very good, many people can't compare to you, if you like it, and you can paint so beautifully, cultivate your mood, cultivate your feelings, and put it down first, even if it's just for your own liking, you should continue. ”

When Shang Liujia painted, there was never a trace of reluctance.

Shang Liujia hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't this a waste of time?" ”

"Cultivation isn't just for the sake of cultivating."

"And for immortality." Shang Liujia said.

Cultivation increases lifespan, just like learning spells, and many cultivators are just trying to protect themselves from being assassinated by other monks. In the final analysis, I still want to live for a long time, and no one wants to die unexpectedly, let alone die of old age.

Tang Chengnian smiled: "Then what is immortality for?" ”

She pointed to the sky, pointed to the wall, and said, "You see, the sky has no feelings, the clouds have no feelings, the mountains, the water, the flowers, the trees, they can all live for a long, long time, and they don't have to do anything." However, before the birth of the Spiritual Intelligence, they are no different from a stone, they cannot be moved, it doesn't matter, they live for the sake of living, and there is no meaning in doing so. But we are different, we have feelings, we also have pursuits, immortality is not to die, but to live, and to live is naturally to be happy. ”

"You like to draw, are you still happy if you don't let you draw? If you are not happy, wouldn't life be an unpleasant thing? Tang Chengnian shook his head, "It's not that you should die if you don't have the meaning of living, it's just that if you live in this world and can't find something that you like and make you happy, how boring and sad it should be." ”

These words fell on Shang Liujia's heart, as if he had been empowered, and he immediately sobered up.

The pursuit of immortality is because you don't want to die, so what is the purpose of living? R1152
