Chapter 168: The devil's training begins, and the three ways of cooking, calligraphy and painting are taught together
Wang Fan slowly walked towards Nangong Yunxiang and the three of them, and said, "From today onwards, I will teach you three ways of cooking, calligraphy, and painting for one month. During this month, if you fail to complete the tasks assigned to the division, you will be severely punished. Did the three of you hear clearly? ”
"Yes! Master! ”
"Yun Chu, you come up first! Teach you the way of cooking first. ”
Nangong Yunxiang stood on tiptoe and slowly walked to Wang Fan's side.
"You need to remember that the kitchen journey is all about keen insight. Selecting the best ingredients from a wide range of ingredients is a basic skill that a chef should have. Look at the two pine litches in my hand, which one is fresher? ”
Nangong Yunxiang's small eyes stared at the two pine litchi fruits and looked at them, pointed to the pine litchi in her right hand and said, "This one is fresher!" ”
"Why?"
"It's just, it just looks fresh."
Nangong Yunxiang was hesitant, and couldn't say why for a while.
Wang Fan's palms released the Netherfire at the same time, and the two pine litchi fruits showed different results under the smoke of the Netherfire. The originally fresh pine lychee fruit in the right hand has deteriorated inside, but the crooked melon-like pine lychee fruit in the left hand has become even fresher.
"What looks good doesn't have to be the best ingredients. Therefore, when judging ingredients, it is necessary to perceive them not only by sight, but also by touch. It's like a human being, with a polite appearance, but a dark and dull heart. It takes a long time to get along with each other before you can judge a person's good or evil. ”
"Master, are you talking about yourself just now?"
Wang Fan's face is full of black lines, I said so much, the focus of your attention is actually here!
"Today, you need to find twenty of the best ingredients out of a thousand random mixtures!"
"Huh? Master, aren't you embarrassing me? ”
"To be a teacher is to embarrass you, how can you bear with me? The ingredients are all in it, and if you can't find them today, you don't have to eat. ”
Nangong Yunxiang took the storage ring in Wang Fan's hand, and found a place at random to facilitate the identification of ingredients.
"Qingya, come up!"
Changqingya respectfully came to Wang Fan's side and listened attentively.
"Calligraphy is the most important thing! Only by continuous and diligent practice can we break the norm. You need to forget the calligraphy of your predecessors and develop your own calligraphy. ”
Your own calligraphy? Changqingya naturally knew the difficulty.
"Today, you need to fill all these thousand pieces of rice paper."
"Qingya understands!"
Wang Fan nodded slightly, it is still a good student like Chang Qingya to bring a little bit, neither naughty nor obedient!
"Wen Wan, one of your paintings is similar to calligraphy. You need to be diligent and draw your own style and characteristics, and you can't be imprisoned by time and space. Therefore, your task today is only to give the teacher a painting, but this painting needs to have your own style and characteristics! ”
"Yes, the disciple is commanded!"
Wang Fan was relieved to see the three of them leaving one after another, it is really not easy to be a teacher!
Wang Fan originally planned to cultivate the "Immortal Golden Body Decision" to improve the strength of his physical body. However, the conditions for cultivating the "Immortal Golden Body Decision" are somewhat special, requiring fresh demon beast blood, and it is impossible to cultivate here at all.
In the end, Wang Fan could only choose to cultivate the "Imperial Soul Decision", and the number of soul power filaments became more and more, and Wang Fan's soul power became stronger and stronger. But there will always be an extra part of soul power, making it impossible for Wang Fan to condense all of his soul power into silk. The realm of soul cultivation has been unable to break through for a long time.
Nangong Yunxiang looked at the ingredients all over the ground, and couldn't help but grow her head. The ingredients all look the same, so how does she divide them?
"Dead master, stinky master! You know it's hard for me! ”
Nangong Yunxiang cursed Wang Fan while picking up the ingredients and throwing them on the ground.
Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration and a plan.
The best ingredients will not be easily broken, and the ones that cannot be broken will definitely belong to the best ingredients.
Nangong Yunxiang admires her smart mind very much, she can come up with such a method by herself, and she is worthy of being a genius among geniuses.
Chang Qingya looked at the blank rice paper in front of her with a sad face, after such a long time, she still didn't write a word.
It's not that Chang Qingya doesn't want to write, but she is thinking: how to create her own calligraphy?
Time passed bit by bit, and Changqingya still hadn't found any way.
Chang Qingya stared at the empty rice paper, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
"What am I struggling with here? The more I cared, the more I didn't dare to put pen to paper. Only by being like this blank piece of paper, thinking about nothing, can you find your true self. ”
Chang Qingya turned her wrist, and the pen flowed between her fingers, and the speed of writing was extremely fast.
Shangguan Wenwan is surrounded by abandoned paintings, and those are all her failed works. She began to wonder why her task was the easiest. But now she knew that the task given to her by her master was not as simple as it seemed.
A painting with its own style and characteristics can not be painted simply.
In retrospect, Shangguan Wenwan never considered style. In the past, it was painted casually, but today it really stumped her.
What kind of painting can show your own style?
Instead of fantasizing, don't put it into practice! Only by constantly painting can we truly find our own style through the surface of the painting.
Time passed like flowing water, and it was already evening when Wang Fan opened his eyes again.
Wang Fan was going to check on the completion of the task by the three of them.
"Yun Chu, is this how you completed the task assigned to you by your teacher?"
The ingredients were thrown all over the ground, and Nangong Yunxiang was holding a few ingredients and falling asleep on top of the many ingredients.
Nangong Yunxiang rubbed her eyes, only to find Wang Fan's figure, and quickly stood up.
"Master, why are you here?"
"How's the task assigned to you by the teacher going?"
Nangong Yunxiang spread out her hands and showed Wang Fan the "high-grade" ingredients she had found.
Wang Fan was stunned on the spot, "This is the high-quality ingredient you found?" ”
Nangong Yunxiang played with her two index fingers, stuck out her tongue and said, "Master, I searched and searched, but I only found nine, and I couldn't find one of them, and then I accidentally fell asleep." ”
Wang Fan frowned and asked, "What method did you use to find it?" ”
Nangong Yunxiang couldn't answer for a while, it was impossible to say that she fell out one by one, right?
"Of course I can see it! What's wrong Master? ”
"Go there and think about the past!"
Nangong Yunxiang was very puzzled, she had obviously completed the task, why did she still think about it?
"Do you feel very confused, why did the teacher punish you?"
Nangong Yunxiang's two cheeks were bulging with anger and nodded frantically.
"Out of these thousand ingredients, none of them are of the highest quality. That's the reason for the teacher to punish you! ”
Nangong Yunxiang was petrified on the spot, and there was no high-quality ingredient, which meant that all the ingredients she was looking for were wrong.
"Master, you actually lied to me!"
"As a teacher, it's just a test for you! Go, face the wall and think, don't eat today. ”
Nangong Yunxiang stomped her feet and walked towards the wall angrily.
Wang Fan came to Chang Qingya's side and found that Chang Qingya had already completed the task she had assigned and was still writing. Sure enough, good students don't need teachers to worry about.
"Master, when did you come?"
"I've been watching for a long time as a teacher, and you've done a good job, so let's stop here today!"
The text written by Chang Qingya has an elegant appearance, but it has a sense of charm. As long as you persevere, Changqingya will naturally be able to develop her own calligraphy.
"You go with your teacher to see Wen Wan!"
"Yes!"
Chang Qingya followed behind Wang Fan and came to Shangguan Wenwan's side.
The waste paper all over the ground can already prove Shangguan Wenwan's hard work.
Shangguan Wenwan seemed to be settled at the moment, stunned and motionless.
Chang Qingya wanted to wake her up, but was stopped by Wang Fan.
"Don't bother her! She is now in a state of epiphany in the painting. ”
The epiphany in the painting is a state that can be encountered but not sought in the painting. Once you enter this state, you will be able to comprehend the paintings you have cast.
After Shangguan Wenwan relieved himself, he found Chang Qingya and Wang Fan on the side.
"What's wrong with me?"
Shangguan Wenwan clearly remembered that she was still painting just now, but in the next second, she seemed to be sucked into the painting.
Every flower and leaf in the painting touches her senses. It makes her feel like it's the real world.
"That's all for today! Digest what you have learned in your paintings! ”
Shangguan Wenwan nodded slightly and put away the painting in front of him.
"Master, where is the little sister?"
"Leave her alone, she is the only one of the three of you who has failed to complete the task assigned to the teacher. Therefore, she thought about it for the teacher's punishment. ”
At night, Nangong Yunxiang was still standing facing the wall.
"Little Senior Sister, are you alright?"
"Senior Sister Qingya, Senior Sister Wenwan, go to the master to ask for mercy! I'm so bored here! ”
Nangong Yunxiang, as a martial artist, although her realm is low, the punishment station will not have any impact on her. Just looking at a wall all the time, a normal person would get bored.
"Little senior sister, I will secretly bring you some food, and the master will come to see you later."
Nangong Yunxiang took the food from Chang Qingya's hand and ate it in a big gulp.
At this time, Wang Fan happened to come over, looked at Nangong Yunxiang who was gobbling up, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Do you know it's wrong?"
Nangong Yunxiang shook her head frantically, and then nodded frantically.
"Master, Yun Chu knows that he is wrong, so you can spare Yun Chu!"
"If you really want to inherit your father's wishes, you should complete the tasks assigned to your teacher well, instead of taking shortcuts."
Nangong Yunxiang lowered her head slightly and whispered: "Tomorrow, Yun Chu will return to complete the task assigned by the master." ”
The next day, Wang Fan also assigned their respective tasks for the three of them.
Nangong Yunxiang is still looking for the best ingredients among a thousand ingredients.
Chang Qingya's task is still to write thousands of pieces of rice paper, but none of her words on this thousand pieces of rice paper can be repeated.
Shangguan Wenwan's task was to paint a hundred paintings of different landscapes, each of which required a different scene.
After Wang Fan finished assigning the task, he fell silent in his cultivation. The apprentices are constantly improving, how can he stop moving forward.
Qian Lai took care of the affairs of the merchant hall because of the lack of manpower. Wang Fan contacted Lu Ying through the token and divided some of the disciples of the Shadow Hall into the Shang Hall.
Jin Lingxuan was busy with the affairs of the array all day long, but because of the reputation of Wanhua Pavilion. The array hall only recruited a dozen disciples, which made Jin Lingxuan very helpless.
Jin Lingxuan wanted to deal with the matter by herself, but did not inform Wang Fan of the matter. Since Wang Fan handed over the array hall to her to take care of, she demanded that she must make achievements.
In the evening, when Wang Fan checked the task, this time the three of them successfully completed the task.
It's just that Nangong Yunxiang is still a little worse, Wang Fan mixed five kinds of high-grade ingredients into a thousand ingredients, and Nangong Yunxiang only found three.
"Master, is Yun Chu too stupid? There is no talent for cooking at all! ”
Wang Fan smiled and said: "There is no genius in the world, everyone is an ordinary person, and the reason why there is a gap is because of the different degrees of effort!" ”
Nangong Yunxiang's eyes became extremely determined, the same as the look in her eyes when facing her father's death.
