Chapter 474: Staying at the Taoist Temple

"Mr. Chen, do you have to do what you say, can't you just look at our portraits?" He Wenzhi thought for a long time and said with some difficulty.

Chen Yi shook his head without any hesitation, "Mr. He, you are a painter, you should know the difficulty of a stranger to paint your beloved, not only to paint well, but also to paint perfectly, to paint like a real person, although you have already painted the other parts of the picture, only the eyes remain, but the eyes are the only place that can convey the spirit of the whole picture, only by understanding all your past, I can draw these eyes with feelings, and draw the feelings between you." ”

"Just looking at the painting between you, it can't be painted perfectly at all, it doesn't mean your last relationship now, in the same way, how do I paint, just copy it according to your portrait, what you want is a real person to save zĂ i, so, I need no less conditions, otherwise I can only say sorry, because I won't waste precious time on something that can't be done."

The eyes are the windows of the soul, which can be said to be the most critical place in painting, otherwise, there would be no idiom of the finishing touch.

He Wenzhi's palms continued to clench into fists, and then released, originally between the eyebrows became the shape of Sichuan characters, and now it is like mountains and hills, he looked at the painting on the table with affection, this painting is said to be the picture of his and his wife's last visit to the scenic spot, and it is also the painting he vowed to paint perfectly, after a while, he raised his head, looked at Chen Yi, and finally sighed.

"Well, Mr. Chen, I promise you that you will see the portraits we have painted for each other, that you will see our correspondence, and that I will tell you the story between me and Wan'er, and I will only ask you to help complete this painting and let it replace the cup of the god of flowers. It has become the most important thing on my mind. ”

He had to agree, because in his current state, he couldn't paint this painting at all, although he didn't know how Chen Yi's painting skills were, but that kind of bearing, which was definitely something that no one could have, originally came for the Flower God Cup. But many times he simply gave up the Flower God Cup, and he thought that he couldn't do it.

This painting was something he had promised his wife, and it had been a decade or two since then, and it could not be delayed any longer, and most of the painters he knew were self-styled. is very disdainful of him for a woman like this, how can he help him complete Wan'er's portrait.

"In order for you to know that I am not lying to you, I will copy this painting later, and use it as a finishing touch, if you think that I am not capable enough to complete it, you can bring it up directly. In addition, this painting is so important to you, and it will not be so easy to put the finishing touch, so can I stay in this Taoist temple for a long time in the coming days? ”

Seeing that He Wenzhi agreed, Chen Yi couldn't help but nodded, and then asked. This painting can't be painted in a day or two, and it can be painted outside, but it is by no means as suitable as this worldly Taoist temple.

finally found an almost paradise-like existence, Chen Yi didn't want to leave like this.

"Copying is inevitable, and I won't let someone with unknown abilities put the finishing touches directly on my paintings, as for whether you can continue to stay in the Taoist temple. I can't make the decision about this, so I have to consult with the Xuanji Dao Master. He Wenzhi recovered from his memories at this time, and turned into a cold look again.

"That's good, the Xuanji Daoist once said. Let's talk about things and go to him, and now let's go and visit the Xuanji Daoist. Chen Yi nodded and said to He Wenzhi.

He Wenzhi slowly walked over from the desk, "Xuanji Daoist will not let others stay here lightly, let alone make an exception because you help me, if he doesn't agree, you can only finish copying the painting and listen to me tell these stories in the outside world." ”

"You have to try everything to know the result." Chen Yi smiled slightly, but he was not affected by He Wenzhi's words, if he could stay here, it would naturally be good, if he couldn't stay here, he would accept it.

After that, Chen Yi and He Wenzhi walked out of the house again, and Qing Xuan looked at Chen Yi and the two with doubts on his face, not knowing if the two had discussed things or had an awkward quarrel.

"Daoist Qingxuan, I don't know where Daoist Xuanji is now, Mr. He and I have already discussed things and want to visit him together." Walking out of the door, Chen Yi said to Qing Xuan.

Qing Xuan nodded, "Master Ancestor is now in Yuqing Palace, I'll take you there." He felt in his heart that these two people were a little strange, He Wenzhi needless to say, this Chen Yi actually had the ability to make He Wenzhi admit his mistakes, and there were birds to lead the way, which was very strange.

Then Qing Xuan took them to the tallest building of the Taoist temple in the middle, representing the Yuqing Palace of the Yuan Shi Tianzun.

This Yuqing Palace is built along the mountain, with the longest staircase of the entire Taoist temple, and on both sides of the staircase, it is also overgrown with all kinds of flowers and trees, it seems that its scenery is no less than the Qingcheng Taoist Temple outside.

Its building is also the most majestic of the three palaces, a total of three portals, in front of its central door is also placed in front of the Taoist temple square on the incense burner, Qing Xuan asked Chen Yi and the two to wait at the door first, and he himself slowly entered the hall, which enshrined the statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and at this time the Xuanji Taoist was sitting cross-legged under the statue.

As if hearing the movement, Daoist Xuanji slowly opened his eyes, "Master, Chen Jushi and He Jushi have discussed the matter and want to visit you." ”

"Okay, lead them to the ashram at the back of the hall, and I'll be there later." The Xuanji Daoist nodded lightly and said with a smile.

Qing Xuan answered yes, then exited the main hall, took Chen Yi and the others to the side hall, and then entered the quiet room behind through the side hall.

Although there is a curtain between the side hall and the main hall, in the gap, Chen Yi is also the Xuanji Taoist who is sitting on the mat in the main hall.

And the Xuanji Daoist seemed to notice Chen Yi's gaze, and couldn't help but turn his head and smile at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was a little surprised in his heart, this mysterious Daoist master's feeling was too sensitive, and he really deserved to be an old Taoist who had practiced for decades.

There wasn't much in the ashram, just a bookshelf, a table, and a bed, and on the wall facing the bed, there was a word written on it.

After Qing Xuan took Chen Yi and the others to the quiet room, he beckoned them to sit down at the table, and then served tea.

Soon, the Xuanji Daoist walked into the room with the dust whisk in his hand, waved the dust, and hugged Chen Yi and the two with his fists, "Let the two lay men wait for a long time." ”

And Chen Yi and He Wenzhi hurriedly returned the salute, "Xuanji Dao is serious, I'm really sorry to disturb your Qing cultivation." ”

"It's okay, Chen Jushi, in the past hundred years of our Taoist temple, there has not been a situation like today, two destined people coexist together, it can be said that it is the honor of this temple, two laymen, please sit." Xuanji Dao Chang waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Dao Chief, please be seated." The two of them made a gesture of invitation to the Xuanji Daoist, and then sat down at the table together, after which Qingxuan served another cup of tea, walked outside the quiet room, and gently closed the door.

Xuanji Daoist glanced at Chen Yi and He Wenzhi, and then spoke first: "I heard that Qingxuan said that Chen Jushi has already discussed things with He Jushi, but I don't know what the result is. ”

"Dao Chief, I have already had preliminary results with Mr. He, I will help him complete a finished painting and achieve his satisfaction, and he will also give me the Flower God Cup." Chen Yi said with a smile to the Xuanji Daoist.

Xuanji Daoist looked at He Wenzhi with an inquiring look on his face, "Yes, Daoist, what Mr. Chen said is true, my state is not able to complete an important painting, so he helped me complete this painting, and I will give him the Flower God Cup." ”

"Oh, it's the best of both worlds, do you need any help from Lao Dao?" The Xuanji Daoist asked with a smile, these two people came to him, and they didn't just report to him.

"Xuanji Daoist, that's the case, I want to stay in the Sanqing Temple for a while, first, to better help Mr. He, and secondly, I want to cultivate my state of mind in the view, get some improvement, and hope that the Taoist can be fulfilled." Chen Yi nodded, and without hesitation, he explained the reason to the Xuanji Daoist.

He Wenzhi's face showed a look of surprise, he just thought that the reason Chen Yi said at first was probably just to help himself, and through this reason, he asked the Xuanji Daoist to agree, but he didn't expect that now he also said his own idea of wanting to stay in the temple.

"Oh, is it so difficult to complete this painting by He Jushi?" The Xuanji Dao Leader couldn't help but ask with some doubts.

He Wenzhi nodded, "Dao Chief, the only thing that my painting is unfinished is the eyes, but the eyes are the window of the soul, the most important organ of the human body, and the key to the painting. ”

"Chen Jushi, if Lao Dao doesn't let you stay in the view, what should you do?" With a smile on his face, the Xuanji Daoist asked Chen Yi, he was very interested in this young man who had passed through the birds and entered the Taoist temple.

"Taoism is a place for Taoists to practice, pay attention to purity, do not let outsiders stay, this is naturally the rules of Taoism, I can enter the Sanqingguan by chance, I already feel very honored, so, will not be more demanding, will help Mr. He to complete the painting in the outside world." Chen Yi said with peace on his face.

Xuanji Taoist nodded, his face slowly changed to solemn, "Chen Jushi, stay in the Taoist temple, even if you are an outsider, temporarily stay and live, you must abide by the Taoist rules, do not eat meat, since you said that you want to cultivate yourself in the Taoist temple, then you must be the same as other disciples, go up the mountain in the morning to practice, although you are a guest, but you can't sleep until noon and get up again, this kind of behavior is inconsistent with the Taoist rules in our view." ”
