Chapter 26 Painting and Martial Arts
The second assessment has ended, but the lantern festival continues, in the enthusiastic expectation of the people, Lin Tianyang took out the lantern production drawing, and taught the craft to the people.
Under the inventory of more than 30 people in the plum garden, the number of bamboo plaques in front of the marquee soon came out, there were 5,327 pieces, Lin Tianyang won the first place of the Lantern Festival again with an overwhelming advantage, and Ye Qiu fell to the seventh place.
However, Cao Ruohai no longer had the heart to blame him for abandoning Zhang Wencheng's help, and the whole person was unfortunate, and his face was like ashes.
The three elders of Meiyuan quickly left the square, and there were distinguished guests from the various wealthy families and nobles of Mobei City waiting in the main hall, even if they could not be rude.
After the Lantern Festival is over, the Plum Garden will also hold a Lantern Festival banquet, under the full moon, 10,000 people celebrate and share the Lantern Festival.
More than 100 people appeared in the square, began to clean up the mess, and brought up 500 sets of long dining tables, and the people who came here to enjoy the lanterns tonight will be able to participate in the Lantern Festival banquet, which can be described as a real joy with the people.
"Tianyang, I really didn't misunderstand you!" Lu Huanyu sighed a lot of emotion at this time, and said: "This time, our art gallery is really in the limelight at the Plum Garden Painting Conference, and you will definitely become one of the most outstanding students in the history of the art club.
Lin Tianyang said with a smile: "Pavilion master, now is not the time to be satisfied, the third assessment will start soon." β
"Hey, the third assessment is a contest between painters, you have just opened your mind, and you haven't comprehended a piece of heavenly talisman yet, how can you compare with them?" Lu Huanyu is very regretful, if he can discover Lin Tianyang's talent earlier, under his full teaching, Lin Tianyang may not be able to become a painter, and compete with the painter geniuses of various art galleries, but at this time everything is too late, and the counterattack of Qingjiang Art Gallery seems to be able to end here.
The rest of the Qingjiang Art Museum was also very disappointed, and they were naturally full of joy when they won two first places in a row, but thinking that the third game was about to lose, no one could laugh easily, and they all showed frustrated expressions.
At this time, someone came to invite them to take a seat in the main hall, and all the painting galleries selected for the third assessment will participate in the Lantern Festival banquet in the main hall.
For all art galleries, it is an honor to be able to participate in the Lantern Festival banquet in the Plum Garden Hall.
Lin Tianyang and his entourage climbed the white jade steps, and a splendid luxury hall appeared in front of them, which was difficult to see clearly when they were far away before, but this time they could feel the grandeur of this hall when they watched it closely.
Eighteen stout golden pillars rise from the ground in front of the main hall, the eaves kiss the beads, the jade floor in front of the hall can be discerned, translucent and clear, a gold-inlaid red carpet goes straight away, straight to the main hall of the main hall, the palace is extremely luxurious, the golden incense burner, the silk curtain tent, the jade carving crane, just like the emperor's palace, everyone is dazzled, dare not touch indiscriminately.
In the center of the main hall, a white jade round platform is set up, the red carpet is paved, and ten thousand red plums are embroidered on it, which is majestic and atmospheric, and a simple white stone disc is placed in the center of the round platform.
Lin Tianyang just glanced at it, and recognized that this white stone disc was the eight-grade spirit treasure he had seen before, the Spirit Appreciation Instrument.
The content of the third assessment is the painting and martial arts, and only those who have reached the realm of enlightenment can participate.
Therefore, in the eyes of all those who don't know that Lin Tianyang has become a painter, he is destined to be named Sun Shan in the third assessment, and the dark horse trend is about to come to an end.
The rules of the painting will be very simple, each artist who is qualified to participate in the martial arts can choose five people from the warriors prepared in the plum garden to form a team, and start a real combat competition with other candidate teams, the winning side will be promoted, and the loser will be eliminated.
The strength of the martial artists prepared by Mei Yuan is comparable, and it is difficult to distinguish between them, so the victory or defeat of the martial arts competition is in the hands of the leading painter.
The painter is admired by the people of the world and is highly valued by the imperial court, not only because the painter himself is strong, but also because the painter can use the power of the heavenly rune to improve the combat power of the warrior, on the battlefield, the difference in the strength of the painters of the two sides is enough to determine the victory or defeat of a battle.
The imperial court vigorously assisted local art galleries to train painter students, in order to improve the strength and number of painters in their own country, in other words, only the battlefield can reflect the maximum value of painters.
However, the role of low-level painters on the battlefield is limited, and there is not much advantage, because the low-level painter's painting skills and strength realm are insufficient, the speed of drawing the heavenly rune is too slow, and the ability to resist the enemy is very weak, and they rely very much on the personal protection of the military warriors.
Although there is no need to go to the battlefield, learning to assist the army into battle is also a must for every painter, so the third assessment of the Plum Garden Painting Club is to test the painter student's ability to control the battle situation.
Because Lin Tianyang won the first place in two consecutive games, the seat of the Qingjiang Art Gallery is the closest position to the main hall in the main hall, and you only need to look up slightly to see those top people sitting firmly above the main hall.
There are ten gilded tables on the main hall, the three elders of Meiyuan occupy the middle three seats, and the rest of the VIPs sit on both sides, all of which are full of aura and indescribable luxury.
These are the top people in Mobei City, such as the middle-aged man closest to the three elders of Meiyuan, wearing a blood-red soft armor robe, his face is as sharp as a knife, and there is a hidden evil aura in his sharp eyes, it is Bai Changsheng, the general of the garrison of Mobei City, whose martial arts strength is the best in Mobei City, and he is really a top master honed from the sea of blood, next to him is a man in a fancy suit, about forty years old, with a kind face, and there seems to be a smile in his eyes at any time, but it makes people feel extremely shrewd, this person is sitting in the same place as Zhang Wencheng, it is his father, Zhang Tianyao, the richest man in Mobei Cityγ
Zhang Wencheng looked at Lin Tianyang and nodded as if encouragingly, but in his heart, he wanted to tear him to pieces on the spot.
Lin Tianyang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and was about to withdraw his gaze, but he felt a very strange gaze in the main hall that seemed to be staring at him.
He turned his head to look, and saw that what was looking at him was an expressionless middle-aged man, in a brocade robe, not angry and arrogant, and his calm eyes seemed to be ancient, but Lin Tian's spiritual sense was sensitive, and he could feel the anger surging under his deep eyes, and he seemed to have a lot of opinions about himself.
Lin Tianyang was sure that he had never seen this person, and when he wondered why he looked at him with such eyes, he realized that the person sitting next to him was Wang Ziyan with a smile in her eyes.
His heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately reacted: This middle-aged man is only afraid that it is Wang Ziyan's father, the big boss of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Wang Jingxing!
"It's over! Lao Wang has a grudge against me!" Lin Tianyang understood why Wang Jingxing's eyes were so strange, the outside world was rumored that he was eating his daughter's soft rice, which father could stand this kind of thing!
He hurriedly looked away, pretending to admire the decoration in the main hall, but the cold sweat gushing out of his forehead still exposed the panic in his heart, and he was worried about a big man like Wang Jingxing, how many people in Mobei City could not do the same?
Lin Tianyang regretted that his intestines were green at this time, and he tried hard to figure out how to quickly clarify this before Wang Jingxing killed him......
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Three drums sounded in the hall, Mo Qingmei stood up, looked around at the performance, and said: "Today's guests are full, the heroes of the major art galleries gather here to participate in the plum garden event, the old man is deeply honored, for the celebration of the Lantern Festival, I hope that all the candidates will shine in the martial arts test and achieve good results, but anyone is willing to take the lead on the stage to show their style?"
As soon as Mo Qingmei's voice fell, someone immediately responded: "I'm coming!"
During the banquet, a young man in white walked out, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a white face and a fearless vitality in his eyes.
This person is from the Dazi Art Museum, named Zheng Youtian, and is a well-known painting genius in Mobei City.
"Okay, the young man should have such courage!" Mo Qingmei approved.
Zheng Youtian was overjoyed when he heard his personal praise, ran quickly to the round platform, saluted with his fists in his fists, and said loudly: "Zheng Youtian of the Great Freedom Art Museum, first offer ugliness!"
He concentrated and calmed down, and used his mental power to push the small ball on the spirit approving instrument to start rotating, but his strength was limited, and after pushing the small ball out of the way a few inches, it was weak, and it was far from the quality in the hole.
"That's good, open up the next product!" Although it was only qualified, Mo Qingmei still smiled and praised again, which attracted thunderous applause in the audience, cheering for Zheng Youtian, who won the first place test.
After Zheng Youtian's opening, Yingjie, who had been promoted to painter in the major art galleries, also went to the test, but after all, they were all students, and their strength was very average, and none of the dozen or so people pushed the ball through the scale mark of the opening grade.
Soon, it was Ye Qiu's turn at the Xuanmo Painting Gallery.
As soon as he got up, he immediately became the focus of everyone, and even the VIPs in the main hall sat up slightly straighter, expressing their anticipation.
Ye Qiu's name resounded throughout Mobei City, although he failed to win the first place in two consecutive games, no one dared to underestimate him because of this.
He walked up to the round platform with a calm demeanor, without greetings, his mental power erupted, and the ball immediately turned, far faster than everyone before, almost in the time of three breaths, the ball crossed the scale mark of the middle grade of the opening of the body, and approached the top grade of the opening of the body.
"This son is really good!" the dignitaries in the main hall all nodded in approval.
When there was still some distance from the opening of the upper grade, Ye Qiu had already reached the limit, and the ball could no longer move, and there was no more to enter.
"Okay, it's very close to the top grade, Ye Gongzi is really good!" Mo Qingmei praised vigorously.
Ye Qiu's strong performance lifted the spirits of the people in the Xuanmo Art Gallery, and Cao Ruohai also recovered his spirits, and made no secret of his pride: "Among all the students in the field, Ye Qiu is definitely the only one who can achieve the middle quality of enlightenment, and the leader of this painting will perform martial arts must be in Ye Qiu's bag!"
These words caused many people in the hall to frown, and they all felt that Cao Ruohai was too arrogant, but he didn't care at all, he was hit by Lin Tianyang several times in a row, he lost face, and he urgently needed to get back face.
Lin Tianyang is not a painter, he is not even qualified to participate in the competition, and the students of other art galleries cannot be compared with Ye Qiu.
Cao Ruohai's words were very harsh, but Ye Qiu's strength was really strong, and after him, no one dared to take the test on stage again, and the venue was deserted.
"Why, don't you dare to go up and be embarrassed?" Cao Ruohai was unscrupulous and said strangely: "If you don't dare to go up, then do you need to compete again in this painting performance?"
His demeanor was arrogant and his tone was arrogant, causing everyone to look at each other angrily, and even Ye Qiu frowned a little unhappily.
"Lin Tianyang, you won the first place in two assessments in a row, why don't you go up and give it a try?"
Wang Jingxing, who was above the main hall, suddenly spoke, and the target was Lin Tianyang, who was bored.
He suddenly called names, and suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Lin Tianyang.
"Nima, Lao Wang has already started to harm me!" Lin Tianyang sensed Wang Jingxing's deep malice, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.
