"Painting is the same concept as martial arts and kendo, but painting requires the painter to have a strong comprehension of all things, otherwise the nature of all things cannot be displayed on the drawing paper, so as to achieve the same attack effect as martial arts. But if you enter the way of painting, using the things depicted in the painting to attack and defend the opponent is far stronger than martial arts. It's just that from ancient times to the present, there are very few people who can enter the way of painting, and because of this, the world has never heard of what the way of painting is. ”

"Then how did the father-in-law know?"

"Because, I used to be, I was a painter!"

Feng Daozi sighed and said deeply, as if he had returned to the most beautiful time, but then showed a very regretful sadness. Because for him, success also paints the way, and defeat also paints the way.

"Father-in-law, did I ask what I shouldn't have asked?"

Mu Liansheng felt as if she had touched the scar in Feng Daozi's heart, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"It's okay, it's all over!"

Feng Daozi smiled slightly, making people feel extremely warm, but a trace of regret was clearly hidden at the corner of the smiling mouth. Although that regret was only slightly bitter, it was voluntarily magnified in Mu Liansheng's eyes. From a touch of regret, he seemed to see all the experiences of Feng Daozi in the first half of his life. My eyes couldn't help but redden.

After a long time, Mu Liansheng asked slowly: "Can the painting path be divided into hierarchical realms like martial arts?"

Mu Liansheng already likes to paint, but now that his father-in-law says that he has realized his own way of painting, he can't help but be interested in painting.

"Of course, because there are very few painters in this world who can enter the way of painting, so as far as I know, there are only two realms of painting, the first realm is the realm of entering the Tao, that is, realizing the way of painting that belongs to the painter, and when the painter truly understands his own way of painting, he can use the things depicted in the painting to achieve the effect of attack. The second realm is the soul realm, and the painter can use his own paintings to achieve soul attacks and kill people invisibly, but this second realm is just a legend, and no one can really step into it. ”

Feng Daozi said that he was extremely fascinated, because he was also a painter in the past, and he also tried to pursue the soul realm, but later, he ......

Mu Liansheng also fell into a reverie when he listened, "Is the Soul Dao Realm just a legend?" but I Mu Liansheng swore that I would definitely step into the Soul Dao Realm in my lifetime. ”

"Sheng'er, are you really not going to take it under the emperor's order?"

A purple halo appeared from the severed arm of the wind channel, and then turned into the Emperor Wind Cloud Order, slowly floating in front of Mu Liansheng's eyes, waiting for its owner to take it down.

That's right, Feng Daozi is a man with a broken arm, his right arm was directly cut off, and his left hand was also cut off five fingers, which is not much different from not having a left hand.

Seeing that Mu Liansheng didn't speak, just quietly looked at the token in front of him, Feng Daozi continued: "Sheng'er, if my father-in-law remembers correctly, you are now sixteen years old, don't you want to see your parents?"

Mu Liansheng suddenly raised his eyes to look at Feng Daozi, then looked at the crystal jar in his hand, and then slowly spoke: "But the lotus seed has not bloomed yet, and it has not yet broken its shell and sprouted." ”

Of course he wanted to go back, but when he left, her mother told him that if the lotus seeds did not bloom in the crystal jar, he would not go back, otherwise he would only suffer disaster for his parents and people. So he didn't dare to go back.

"Sheng'er, waiting can't wait for spring, the world is so big, why don't you take the initiative to take a step and look for the footprints of spring? Your spring may be the spring of lotus seeds, lotus seeds want to sprout, they need to be in the right season, they need enough nutrients and sunshine, do you think you have reached these conditions now? You don't, Longyuan Valley just keeps lotus seeds in an indestructible state, and if you want to sprout and bloom, you have to go out and experience it, looking for the nutrients it needs. Sheng'er, do you understand?"

"But the father-in-law ......"

Mu Liansheng looked at Feng Daozi and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

"Sheng'er, if the three-legged domain is standing today, and you are calculated by the Holy Stone of the Star Death Pavilion as the emperor's life, you will no longer be able to stand alone. But now that Nandi is full of talent, it is also the best time to hone you. Father-in-law wants you to take the lotus seed to the Heavenly Palace Imperial Courtyard to practice martial arts, and at the same time look for an opportunity for the lotus seed to sprout and blossom. ”

"Martial Arts, Father-in-law, are you saying that I can practice Martial Dao?"

Hearing the word martial arts, Mu Liansheng's eyes showed a gleam, and he stood up excitedly.

"Well, the reason why your Uncle Zhong doesn't let you practice martial arts is because if you are a fellow practitioner of the two paths, they will influence each other, so that your progress will be slow, and now you have reached your own level of swordsmanship, and you have also realized your own painting path, but your real strength is in the martial arts, such as today's situation has to let you step into the martial arts path as soon as possible. ”

After listening to Feng Daozi's words, Mu Liansheng slowly stood up, looked at the sun outside the bamboo window, and said lightly: "Father-in-law, you are right, I should go out to find the spring that belongs to me, I shouldn't wait here, I have time to wait, but my clansmen may not be able to wait, I need to be strong quickly, and I will eventually feel shallow on paper, only real swords and guns can improve my combat power, I need experience, and the source of experience is actual combat." ”

Mu Liansheng seemed to mature a little more in an instant, and the determination in her eyes became more and more firm.

Since I can't wait for spring, then I will go to find it myself, no matter the ends of the earth, there is always a spring sunshine.

Mu Liansheng's right hand stretched out and held the Emperor's Fengyun Order in his hand, "Since the heavens want me to be the emperor, then I, Mu Liansheng, will try it once." ”

Then, a wave of spiritual power slowly injected from Mu Liansheng's forehead into the Emperor's Fengyun Order, and a purple halo immediately appeared out of thin air, floating in the air, looking extremely excited.

"Now that there are ten Star Emperors in Nandi, they will definitely arrive in the imperial capital in two months as scheduled to take the entrance test of the Heavenly Palace Imperial Courtyard, so Sheng'er needs to prepare well. ”

Feng Daozi saw that Mu Liansheng accepted the emperor's order, and finally felt a little relieved.

"Why is the Father-in-law so sure that the other Star Emperors will arrive as scheduled? ”

"If they don't go, the royal forces will come out and kill them at all costs. Because the influence of the Star Emperor on Nandi's future national fortunes is too great. ”

"If you can't use it for me, I'll destroy it, the Nandi royal family is really ruthless to the extreme. ”

Mu Liansheng suddenly became extremely disgusted with the royal family.

"The imperial family is all about profit, and if anyone threatens them, they will naturally eliminate the threat before it grows up. ”

Feng Daozi paused, glanced at Mu Liansheng, and continued: "Sheng'er, since you have decided to go to the imperial capital to participate in the entrance test of the Heavenly Palace Imperial Courtyard, then prepare well, and you and Xiao Jiu will leave tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?"

Mu Liansheng has been living in Longyuan Valley since she was six years old, and she really wants to go out and see the outside world, but this is too hasty, right?

"Longyuan Valley is located in a remote place in the southeast of Nandi, and two months is just enough time for you and Xiao Jiu to reach the imperial capital. ”
