Nie Yuanbin's studio is huge, full of paintings and paints.

In the center of the studio, there is a painting of the Four Flying Heavens, in Cave 320, painted above the canopy above the head of Amitabha Buddha in the "Western Pure Land Change" on the south wall. Two bodies on each side, in a symmetrical form, surround the canopy, chasing each other: one in front, raising his hand to scatter flowers, reflexively looking back, raising his arms to chase. It shows a kind of mental strength and beauty of flying that is not only enterprising, but also free and relaxed. Around the flying sky, colorful clouds float and fragrant flowers fall, which not only shows the flying sky to make offerings to the Buddha, but also expresses the freedom and joy of the Buddha's paradise. The overall image is clear, the figure is slender, the posture is light, the proportions of the human body are accurate, the line drawing is smooth and powerful, and the colors are bright and rich.

MAY was stunned, this is just like being carved down from the wall, to be able to copy it like this, not only is the painting profound, it is the awe and love of Dunhuang culture.

IN THIS CLASS, MAY SAT AT THE BACK, AND THERE WERE 12 PEOPLE IN THE CLASS, 8 MEN AND 4 WOMEN, ALL OF WHOM SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN CONQUERED BY NIE YUANBIN'S PAINTINGS.

"I've painted 578 flying skies, and although you all think I'm doing a good job, I'm still not satisfied. I can draw his body, his posture, his verve, but I can't restore his color. I've done countless debugging and many sleepless nights, and the best is what you see today. ”

Nie Yuanbin has been working hard to accurately express the scenery seen by the eyes with lines and colors. He had used the lines well, but he was never satisfied with the colors.

In this world, except for numbers, nothing can be exactly the same, and it is even more impossible to perceive things, especially to restore the colors of more than a thousand years ago.

This person is either demented or crazy, they are already infinitely close, and what else can they do, this is simply impossible to get along with themselves. ’

MAY THOUGHT THAT IN ORDER TO GET AN ACCURATE DATA, HE ATE AND LIVED IN THE LABORATORY, AND LOOKED AT THE REACTION CUP FOR DOZENS OF HOURS WITHOUT SLEEP.

It's okay that the experiment is successful, but if it fails, you will want to die. At that time, I really wanted to change careers to engage in art, and I could express myself how I wanted, without a fixed form, and I didn't have to worry about a conclusion.

'Is this art teacher Nie going to turn himself into a technical worker?' 'MAY CAN'T UNDERSTAND NIE YUANBIN'S PARANOIA,

"The obsession is too deep." MAY SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID.

The one-and-a-half-hour class ended quickly, and these enthusiasts were obviously still unsatisfied, and kept talking around Nie Yuanbin. It can be seen that Nie Yuanbin has a good relationship with them, not so much a teacher as a friend. When Liu Sassa turned around, he suddenly discovered the existence of MAY.

"There was a big beautiful woman in the class, and I didn't even notice it?" LIU SASSA SECRETLY REJOICED, PRETENDED TO BE CALM, STRAIGHTENED HIS CLOTHES, AND WALKED OVER TO GREET MAY:

"Are you a new student?"

"Uh, uh, that, I 。。。。。。" MAY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION

"She is my friend, and she came to Dunhuang for a tour." Nie Yuanbin said

"It turned out to be a friend of Teacher Nie, hello hello, my name is Liu Sasa, and everyone calls me Da Liu." Liu Sasa immediately became attentive.

"You have chosen to travel to Dunhuang, you really have chosen the right place!

This was once a node city of the Silk Road, and at that time it was the center and transit point of trade between China and the West, with envoys, soldiers, merchants, and monks from all over the world in an endless stream, engaged in the trade of silk and porcelain from the Central Plains, treasures from the Western Regions, camels and horses from the north, and local grain.

At the same time, the Central Plains culture, Buddhist culture, West Asian and Central Asian cultures continue to converge and collide here, forming a prosperous scene of a metropolis where Huarong is intertwined.

Although it is now a wind-sown building with thousands of miles in the sky, and the moon shines on the quicksand for another day, it still leaves us with the precious cultural heritage of grottoes and murals.

It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, I can be your tour guide, take you to see the scenery of our Great Dunhuang, and tell you about the history of the circulation. Don't worry, don't charge money, hehe. “

Liu Sasa is a freelance writer who came to Dunhuang with his parents when he was in high school.

My parents are experts in digital image processing, and because they love the culture here, they have used their professional knowledge to make outstanding contributions to Dunhuang culture, especially in the preservation of murals and how to present them perfectly to the outside world.

Under the influence of his parents since he was a child, Liu Sasa has a deep love for Dunhuang culture.

After graduating from university, he could have studied abroad, but he insisted on staying here and conveying Dunhuang's culture to the outside world in his own way.

Today, I met a girl who came to travel and looked good, so I should seize this opportunity to spread culture and communicate feelings.

'This Liu Sasa, when he sees a beautiful girl, he can't help it, doesn't he know that beautiful women are poisonous? I've been dumped countless times, but I still don't have a long memory. Xu Li thought about it, and shook her head helplessly, it is estimated that in a few days, she will be able to see Liu Sasa who has turned sadness into food.

Xu Li, a beautiful, intelligent and generous beauty, dare not say that everyone loves her, and she is also considered superior. But at the age of 27, if you don't look for a boyfriend, your family is in a hurry, so it's almost impossible not to disturb.

Of course, Xu Li and Liu Sasa are just good buddies, Xu Li is worried that Liu Sasa's hospitality will be used by the wrong object, and in the end, there will be no joy.

MAY was driven by Liu Sasa's enthusiasm, anyway, they are all here, so let's go and enjoy the desert scenery.

Three

The sunshine in Dunhuang is very long, in summer, it will be dark at 11 o'clock in the evening, and at 5 o'clock in the morning, the sky is already bright. Liu Sasa said that the sun at noon is very poisonous, and there is no big trees to shade it, so it is necessary to set off early.

Just after 7 o'clock, Liu Sasa came, accompanied by Xu Li and Nie Yuanbin.

Xu Li brought a camera, Nie Yuanbin brought a drawing board, and Liu Sasa only needed to bring himself.

"In the Book of Han, it is said that Dun, Da Ye; Huang, Sheng also. It is famous for its wide opening of the Western Regions.

However, the etymology of Dunhuang is not Chinese, it is the Chinese translation of the local minority languages before the Han Dynasty, as for whether it is the language of the Tocharians or the ancient Qiang people, this remains to be verified. “

Liu Sasa introduced as he walked, like a Dunhuang encyclopedia, from the origin of the name to the topography to the history and culture.

In this 30,000 square kilometers of land, there are so many natural and human beings, and it is because of how many years of alluvial and precipitation that it has become what it is today.

THEY RODE CAMELS ALL THE WAY FORWARD, AND LOOKED AT THE DESOLATE SCENE OF "THE DESERT IS LONELY AND THE SUN SETS OVER THE LONG RIVER" IN FRONT OF THEM, IMAGINING THE PROSPERITY AND ABUNDANCE AT THE BEGINNING, ALL THE PROSPERITY IS NO MATCH FOR THE FULL MOON AND THE LACK OF A MOON, A SAND AND A WORLD, A SCENE AND A CHANGE.

Xu Li took pictures all the way, pressing the shutter one after another, as if she wanted to put together this piece of yellow sand into a painting, and she couldn't miss any of them, otherwise it would be incomplete.

Nie Yuanbin changed his outfit today, white clothes and white pants, his hair should have just been washed, black and straight, if you put yesterday's style and today's style together, it is simply black and white.

This is really a weirdo, all the way, neither talking nor drawing, only to see the hair flying, as if in the unconscious world.

The book says that the more lonely a man is, the better he is, and the more excellent a woman is, the more lonely he is, and I don't know if he is really romantic or false.

Liu Sasa thought that everyone was impressed by his rich knowledge, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, and he was going to go on the wild history together.

But then again, Liu Sassa is really powerful, and he explained for eight hours that it is not the same, is this a human brain or a computer?

MAY enjoys this atmosphere very much, you can listen to Liu Sasa's gossip when you enter, and you can silently enjoy the scenery when you retreat, this kind of life is much more interesting than the laboratory.

XU LI HAS ALWAYS BEEN NOT INTERESTED IN MAY, SUCH AN UNKNOWN Y HEAD CAN LET LIU SASSA TALK FOR A DAY, AND LET NIE YUANBIN ACCOMPANY HIM FOR A DAY, I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT EVIL THESE MEN HAVE FALLEN INTO, IS THIS THE LEGEND, APPEARANCE IS THE FIRST PRODUCTIVE FORCE?

Xu Li watched Liu Sasa's eyebrows flutter, and suddenly wanted to tease him very much.

"BIG LIU, IF WE GET LOST IN THE DESERT TODAY AND ONLY HAVE A BOTTLE OF WATER, WILL YOU GIVE ME A DRINK OR A DRINK FOR MAY?"

Liu Sasa was stunned when asked, now is tourism, not exploration, how can there be such a problem?

Hey, a woman's heart.

"Xu Li, you're asking this question so well!

There was only one bottle of water, so of course I drank it myself. Liu Sasa replied with a smile.

"Liu Sasa, I can recognize you today, you can really be yourself." Xu Li gave him a big roll of his eyes.

"In the future, water access to the desert will no longer be a problem." MAY says:

"Now there's a new technology, called the Water Harvester, which doesn't require electricity and can collect water in the dry desert air."

Hearing this, Nie Yuanbin seemed to have summoned his soul back, his eyes suddenly lit up, his eyebrows were about to rise to his forehead, he grabbed MAY and asked, "What kind of equipment is this, where is it, can you buy it, how do you get water?" “

MAY didn't expect a painting to be interested in black technology, it's really unseemly.

"You're scratching me, let it go!"

Nie Yuanbin didn't realize that his actions were too violent, and he quickly put his hand down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Nie Yuanbin apologized to MAY.

MAY RUBBED HIS WRIST AND CONTINUED,

"This device uses a metal-organic framework, which is essentially a powder made of tiny crystals, and its internal structure is very peculiar, with extremely complex refraction, interlacing, and adsorption, which can collect and store water molecules. When the temperature drops, the water molecules are caught by the metal, and when the temperature rises again, the water molecules are released into the air, and about 3 ounces of water can be collected in a day and night. “

"3 ounces, 1 ounce equals 29.27 milliliters, 3 ounces is 87.81 milliliters, and if there was water, it wouldn't be what it is now."

Nie Yuanbin muttered and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see what was in front of him.

Xu Li knew that Nie Yuanbin had gone back again, and he couldn't let go of what happened back then.

"Okay, okay, big doctor, talented girl, we don't understand your knowledge, and we are not interested, so please don't talk about it.

Aren't you here to travel, it's better to learn more about our customs here, and your research data will be slowly processed after you go back. ”

MAY WAS INTERRUPTED BY XU LI'S WORDS, SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT SHE SAID WRONG, IT SEEMS THAT XU LI IS NOT VERY FRIENDLY TO HERSELF, A WOMAN'S INTUITION, MAYBE SHE AND NIE YUANBIN HAVE SOMETHING.

The first day of the tour was neither pleasant nor unpleasant, but Liu Sasa's enthusiasm and rich knowledge made MAY appreciate it very much, and made an appointment, and Liu Sasa will be a tour guide for MAY in the next few days.
