Surrounded by everyone, Li Yizhi rode into the city and walked slowly.

Along the way, the people took the initiative to give way and bowed down to say hello.

The changes in Jiangdu County this month, people are looking at it, not only are there no bandits outside, they can walk with peace of mind; The hooligans and ruffians in the city are almost extinct.

Even the people in the rivers and lakes who practice martial arts must be honest in the city, and they must not fight at will, let alone oppress ordinary people, otherwise they will be arrested by the city guards and put in prison.

Therefore, for Li Yizhi, the Taishou who brought all this, they naturally really love it.

Li Yizhi rode on his horse and smiled at the people on the left and right.

When he walked to the city gate, he saw a handsome young man beckoning to him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a very friendly feeling.

At the same time, although this person is dressed as a Confucian student, he holds a folding fan and gently fans it, but he has an indescribable feeling of being dignified and chic and free.

Li Yi was puzzled in his heart, guessing who the other party was and what his intentions were, such a romantic person must not be a nameless.

His face was as usual, and he bowed back to the other party, but he didn't want the Confucian student to come forward, and said loudly: "Wait for Xibai, meet Li Taishou." Because of his admiration for Taishou's painting, he came to ask for advice. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the amorous son Hou Xibai."

Li Yi's heart was clear, he turned over and dismounted, and chuckled: "It turned out to be Brother Hou, I don't dare to ask for advice, everyone learns from each other." Since Brother Hou has come to Yangzhou, please follow me into the city, and I will also fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

In the Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Hou Xibai is a person that Li Yizhi admires very much, although he was born in the Demon Dao, he is a decent person, romantic but not obscene.

Feeling Li Yizhi's sincerity, Hou Xibai was also quite moved.

Although he Hou Xibai has some reputation in the rivers and lakes, for a big official like Li Yizhi, he may not take it seriously.

Therefore, Hou Xibai smiled casually and arched his hand: "Since Brother Li invited, dare not obey his fate!" ”

"Please!"

Li Yizhi's right hand is falsely invited.

More than half an hour later, the group returned to Taishou Mansion.

Gao Shouyi and others were sent down by Li Yizhi.

He took Hou Xibai to the living room of the back house and asked the maid to serve fragrant tea.

Hou Xibai took a sip, then put down the teacup and said, "Brother Li, this time Hou Mou came here and wanted to ask you for painting skills." A few days ago, Brother Li went to inspect the place, and I was fortunate to see one of Brother Li's masterpieces in a wealthy businessman. ”

Li Yizhi said with a smile: "I also heard that Brother Hou is a holy hand in painting, and he is good at beauty painting. Since we are fellow believers, I naturally do not hide my secrets, and hope that we can make progress together. ”

Although he is good at sketching, he doesn't know much about traditional painting techniques, and Hou Xibai is the pinnacle of traditional painting skills in this era.

If you can learn from each other, it will also have a great effect on his painting skills.

Hou Xibai thought that this was Li Yizhi's modesty, and admired: "Brother Li is really too modest, Hou's ability can enter Brother Li's eyes." ”

After drinking tea, Li Yizhi led Hou Xibai to the study.

Spreading out the drawing paper on the desk, Li Yizhi began to talk about modern sketching.

The sketching method is based on the modern Western painting theory, which is completely different from the ancient Chinese painting theory, so at the beginning, Hou Xibai still had some difficulty understanding it.

However, Hou Xibai is a talented character after all, especially in painting, so he quickly adapted to it, and the whole person was immersed in it, his eyebrows fluttered, and he couldn't extricate himself.

The theory of sketching is just those points, and the most important thing is to practice more.

As for the final achievement, it depends on the individual's talent.

Time flies, and soon it's noon.

After a brief lunch, Li Yizhi and Hou Xibai returned to the study and continued their morning lecture.

After finishing speaking, Hou Xibai couldn't wait to start practicing.

I have to say that this person's talent in painting is too strong.

Although it is the first time to paint with sketches, I have already mastered the various techniques, and the characters drawn are very realistic.

Li Yizhi praised: "Brother Hou, with your talent, I believe it won't be long before you can surpass me." ”

"Brother Li is a false praise, I don't want to surpass you in the future, as long as I can compare, I will be satisfied."

Hou Xibai shook his head and smiled, and then said: "But Brother Li, the painting method of your school pays attention to 'technique' and strives for authenticity, which is to 'seek truth from truth', while my painting method pays more attention to 'true meaning', and is to reflect the truth with 'true meaning', each with its own advantages and disadvantages." So I thought that if we could integrate these two techniques, we would definitely be able to push the way of painting to an unprecedented peak. ”

In the end, he showed a look of longing and excitement.

Li Yizhi smiled happily and arched his hand: "Brother Hou has such pride, I naturally can't fall behind." But before that, Brother Hou has to teach me first. ”

"Haha, that's nature."

Hou Xibai smiled happily, being able to communicate with a painting master like Li Yizhi, then the idea of integrating the techniques of the two schools is not impossible to realize.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, night had fallen outside the window, and the night was deep.

Hou Xibai finally stopped, he took a sip of tea and moistened his dry throat.

Compared with sketching, the system of traditional painting is larger, and there are more knowledge points that need to be taught.

Fortunately, Li Yizhi can never forget and draw inferences from one another, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to remember so much content without ten days and half a month.

Such a terrifying memory made Hou Xibai sigh.

He had heard of people who had never forgotten, but it was the first time he had heard of people who could not only remember but also draw inferences.

It's no wonder that the other party is so young and has made such dazzling achievements in painting.

Perhaps, the heavy task of integrating the techniques of the two factions has to be completed by the other party.

Hou Xibai sighed and said, "Brother Li, your talent for painting is the best I've ever seen. It's a pity that you have long passed the age of practicing martial arts, otherwise you will be able to practice the exercises of my faction and enter the Tao with painting, and you will definitely be able to travel thousands of miles in a day, even if it is the realm of a great grandmaster, it is not impossible. ”

Although the Huajian School is a demonic way, there is no demonic nature in the cultivation of the exercises, but it pays attention to the art of entering the Tao, and the higher the artistic achievement, the faster the progress of cultivation.

Therefore, the disciples of the Huajian School are the most talented, so they have the least number of successors.

Li Yizhi smiled lightly and pretended to ask, "I don't know Brother Hou, which sect you come from?" I think that being able to cultivate a romantic character like Brother Hou is not small compared to fame. ”

Hou Xibai pondered for a while before he said, "I don't know what Brother Li thinks of the Demon Gate?" ”

Li Yizhi said: "It is said that the Demon Gate was formed in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, so that the disciples of the hundred schools merged with each other, forming today's two sects and six ways of the demon sect. I don't have a big opinion about the Demon Gate, after all, they don't deal with me. ”

Hou Xibai raised his eyebrows quite unexpectedly, and said: "Everyone in the world is said that the people in the Demon Gate are perverse and ruthless, killing people like hemp, and they are the one who is in trouble, I thought that for a court official like Brother Li, the Demon Gate should need to be suppressed." ”

Li Yizhi said, his voice domineering, and said: "For me, as long as you don't make trouble for me, they are all good sects, and there is no distinction between good and evil." If you make trouble with me, then don't care what kind of demons are right, and suppress them together. ”

Hou Xibai couldn't help but be shocked.
