Chapter Twenty-Eight: Better Than Zero Eggs
Each examination room here is only equipped with a set of tables and chairs, and during the examination, in addition to the examination papers and a cup of spiritual spring water for mixing ink, the examination room does not provide other cultural utensils, and all the candidates have to bring their own. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Put down the paper, pen, inkstone, ink and other treasures from his hands in turn, Zhuo Wen gently mixed the spring in the inkstone, and began to grind with a spirit ingot, because the test is not a drawing, and does not require the quality of the treasure, so Zhuo Wen did not use a black ore ingot this time, but used the lowest black soil ingot, so it will not be wasted.
Lifting the pen on the inkstone surface dipped and dipped again, dipped and dipped again, but the pen was delayed.
Looking at the exam papers in his hand, Zhuo Wen only felt like sitting on pins and needles to spend his days like a full year of sweating and sweating, but how to start at this moment has become his biggest problem at present.
At the moment, this is no longer a difficult question, the problem is that he has no clues and clues at all.
Originally, Zhuo Wen wanted to be honest and hand in the white papers, but just now the deacon of the auditorium had already read out the rules of the examination room when the second bell rang, if he handed in the white papers, it would be tantamount to blaspheming the sages, which would be disqualified from the exam, Zhuo Wen didn't want to die before leaving the school...
At present, there is only one test paper, which means that if you make a mistake, there is no room for revision, unless there is "white ink".
The so-called white ink, that is, the white ink ingot, is equivalent to the correction liquid in the previous life, and the quantity is extremely rare, which also leads to the fact that within the same quality, it is ten times more expensive than ordinary spirit ink.
In the landscape world, white ink is also used for painting, because of its rarity, it is not possible to use it by painters who are not rich and noble, and there are no more than three or four of them in the audience, which can be seen.
Is it cheating? Zhuo Wen smiled bitterly, don't think about it, if you want to cheat in the Ice Spirit Palace, it's almost impossible, if it's a school poem, you can also take a cheat sheet, but the test is painting, you can still bring the painting with you?
"Hey, even if you have the help of white ink, it's useless, I don't know how to draw at all!" Zhuo Wen sighed in his heart, shook his head, and smiled bitterly: "Since you can't stop drawing, then draw casually, getting a zero score is better than losing the exam qualification." ”
"Uh... But even if it's a casual painting, it has to be close to reality, if the protagonist is crying, but I painted a smiling expression, it must also be misunderstood as an insult to the saint, this kind of thing, losing qualifications is a small matter, being pulled to mine to atone for a big thing, I have to be cautious!"
"As the so-called knowing the subtleties, I'll try to see if I can find some useful clues from some small pieces of the back, as long as I can deduce a general demeanor, I should be able to enter the topic..."
After thinking about it in his heart, Zhuo Wen suddenly threw away some miscellaneous thoughts and began to appreciate this faceless painting in detail.
The paper is raw rice paper, the size of which is about two pieces of 4K paper combined... Uh, this clue is useless... Look for something else.
Zhuo Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared perpendicular to the examination paper at close range, this was a small habit in his previous life when appreciating literary treasures or painting details, if you want to ask why he has this habit, he will definitely not tell you that he is a little short-sighted.
After reviewing for nearly five minutes, Zhuo Wen first noticed the first detail!
If you look closely, this brother is holding a pen in his right hand, and on the back of his left hand, there is a sparrow standing about to take off.
Sparrows may seem ordinary, but if you don't pay attention, it's hard to spot the weirdness. However, Zhuo Wen is a very careful person, which is enough to see from the previous Lingmo Xuan and the bits and pieces when he was hunted down before.
In Zhuo Wen's view, the author of this painting is definitely not an ordinary person, because this sparrow is so detailed that you can see the feather down, although it is a few simple strokes, but it almost gives full play to the likeness.
This pen power must at least have a year of precipitation before it can be realized, and ordinary young painters can't do it. Zhuo Wen guessed that it may be from the pen of a master who resembles the peak of the realm or even reaches the artistic conception!
It's a pity that this exam paper is not the original, but a copy, so it doesn't float in painting, this kind of copy can't produce a painting spirit at all, even if someone uses the finishing touch on it, it's also a fool's errand.
Nonsense, how can a person who may be a peerless painter draw exam papers for hundreds of candidates one by one? You must know the value of their works, but at least they all start with 10,000 words, and the original works must be in the hands of the people in the auditorium.
"I see, the wings of this sparrow are actually 'painted' by the protagonist in the painting? No wonder it looks more robust and slender, ordinary sparrows can't grow such wings at all. ”
"He actually used painting to save lives and help the wounded, and he was not stingy with painting because the other party was a small creature, and he treated everything equally, and he was dressed plainly and unpretentiously, and even the crown of his hair was made of bamboo, which shows that he likes to live in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, and is not a person who admires vanity... It seems that the protagonist must be a righteous gentleman who cherishes the world and is compassionate and compassionate.,This kind of person's demeanor,Should have profundity and wisdom.,Need a little sadness and tenderness.,Of course,Handsome, that's definitely inevitable..."
Thinking about it this way, Zhuo Wen also has some bottom in his heart, what? You say that the face of mercy is the face of Curator Jin? That is definitely not good, although this is an all-purpose face, and it is indeed pitiful enough, but it is too evil, and if you draw it, you may be thought to be an insult to the saint, but it is better to hand in a blank scroll.
But... However, there is a face that is extremely suitable, this face not only has courage and wisdom, but also is full of positive energy and compassion for the country and the people, which is suitable for this exam question.
After thinking about it, Zhuo Wen dipped his pen in ink again, and immediately put down the paper, working hard like a snake, but after a while, a perfect face of the Beidou God Fist was painted on it...
If you want to say that the face is sad, tender, and upright, is there anything more fascinating than the Beidou God Fist? Zhuo Wen snorted, put the pen on the inkstone, and looked up to close his eyes to recuperate. In fact, except for his appearance, he didn't draw it right, and everything else was actually guessed. Because the protagonist in this picture scroll is one of the most loving painting saints among the human race.
"It's true that someone who has been instructed by a hermit painter has completed the exam questions so quickly. When the auditorium deacon and the two captains of the patrol passed by Zhuo Wen's examination room, they couldn't help but be surprised to see that he had finished handwriting.
"yes. I'm afraid that among the 150 candidates in the audience, he is the fastest, right? It seems that he is also a diligent reader of the ancient books of the saints behind his back... Sure enough, it is a good seedling of excellent quality!"
"Those painting children who always complain about the injustice of the heavens and the unfairness of the treatment of him should really take him as an example to study hard, as the so-called ten years of work on the stage for one minute and off the stage, don't look at his relaxed energy, who can know how much sweat and effort he has put in behind it?"
The eyes of several captains lit up, and the more they looked at it, the more they felt that Zhuo Wen was pleasing to the eye, and they suddenly felt that this candidate was not a thing in the pool, and some even deliberately scolded Zhuo Wen and prepared to let his daughter and sister approach him.
I'm afraid they're going to be disappointed...... Half an hour later, at the moment when they received all the candidates' papers, a painting that stood out from the crowd suddenly surprised the entire auditorium review team.
Straight sword eyebrows, bright starry eyes, a slight arc at the corner of the mouth, a face looks full of compassion and righteousness, it is indeed a good face, but! Who the is this?
"What kind of bullshit exam paper! Zero points!" shouted angrily, but when he saw a sturdy old man with a beard and white beard slam the table, he smashed the entire table in one fell swoop, and his beard was almost straightened in anger. At this moment, if there are candidates from the Zhuo family beside him, he will definitely be surprised, because at this moment, even the hall master of the auditorium can only stand aside and wait, and he does not dare to make a sound at all, so it can be seen that the identity of this old man is extremely unusual.
That's right, he is Zhang Lie, the examiner sent by this state court, as his name suggests, his personality is violent, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, as soon as he looks at Zhuo Wen's examination papers, he feels that this person has insulted the saint, and he is immediately angry. This is simply nonsense! The "Ma Liang" holy master, one of the three living painting saints, has been painted like this! It would be strange if such an unbelievable examination paper was submitted to the "state court" for review and registration, and the "state president" would not be scolded with blood!
Enduring Zhang Lie's anger, at this moment, the hall master's face turned extremely red, he knew that Zhuo Wen, this little guy, was so nonsense, and the audition should not have been given to him... Hey, little doll, the old man will be miserable by you today!
"Lao Zhang, your temper in the past few decades should also be changed, you are all old, what kind of anger do you have with a descendant..."At this time, I saw a thin old man next to Zhang Lie picking up Zhuo Wen's exam paper, swept his eyes, put it on the exam table on the other side, and said indifferently: "Although this son is mixed, it is not completely undesirable, it can be regarded as a painting with facial features, and there is a painting talent looming in the volume, which is not easy for a painting boy, let's give him a five-point encouragement... Okay, let's go their separate ways. ”
As soon as he said it, no one dared to object, even if it was as violent as Zhang Lie, he didn't say a word, and the right should be acquiescing.
Even the examiner Zhang Lie had no objections, so it can be seen that this person's status is only above Zhang Lie! In fact, it is true that there are actually two examiners sent by the state court, Zhang Lie is only the deputy, and the main position is still the thin old man in front of him - Chen De!
The captains who praised Zhuo Wen just now were also gloomy at the moment, and their faces were as red as a monkey's buttocks, and they couldn't wait to find a hole to drill...
It's too bold to come here, this kid dares to mess around like this during the exam! Even if you have the back of a hermit painter, you can't come like this...
Hulai, hehe, Zhuo Wen is not Hulai, he is a very serious and serious Hulai!
Anyway, he didn't have much hope for drawing lines, just draw a perfunctory drawing, it's better than nothing, as for getting a painting score, it's an accident, to be honest, he himself couldn't imagine that he actually got five points in the clueless line drawing test.
When handing over the scroll, Zhuo Wen also took back the "Book of Paintings" and his own storage scroll, and walked out of the Ice Spirit Hall with Baili Wushan.
