Chapter 75: The Charm of the Spirit

Wen Muya is worthy of being a teacher at school, and she speaks politely and politely.

She looked to be about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and wore a plain black suit overalls, a white shirt, a black knee-length skirt, neat short hair, and silver-trimmed glasses frames on the bridge of her nose.

The woman who is a teacher looks full of righteousness, and her expression and movements are slightly kind.

Pang Guang and I explained our intentions, and Wen Muya heard us mention his father, and then mentioned the Huanghuali bookshelf on that side, probably because she missed her old father, and she opened the conversation box to us.

"My dad's life is not easy! He likes to paint Chinese paintings since he was a child, and he is very talented. My dad became famous when he was very young, and he was also the president of our calligraphy and painting association, but later, when he reached middle age, my dad also fell into a trough for a while. ”

Wen Muya said.

"Painting this kind of thing, the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. People's natural potential is only a few years of hard work, and after the peak of their lives, they will naturally slowly fall to the trough.

My dad used to like to paint landscapes, but when he was middle-aged, he may have lost his inspiration, and his life got better and better. But it may be a coincidence, but today I understand when I hear you mention it, my father's calligraphy and painting career reached the peak of his life, and it is probably related to the pair of Huanghuali bookshelves! ”

Wen Muya said as she led us into the study at home.

Looking at the decoration of the Wen family, it is worthy of being a scholarly door and a painter's home.

The Wen family's study is decorated in an antique style, and the walls are all finely framed Chinese paintings and calligraphy.

The old sandalwood table in the room is very distinctive, the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all the best.

I looked at the black and translucent ink stone, as well as the blue marks, warm and textured inkstone.

"This is Huizhou ink, Duanzhou ink!" I asked Wen Muya.

Wen Muya smiled knowingly.

"It seems that this little brother also understands the four treasures of the study. That's right! Xuancheng paper, Huzhou pen, Huizhou ink, Duanzhou inkstone. The four treasures of my family's study are the qualities that my father loved the most during his lifetime.

When my father was alive, he once said that pen, ink, paper, and inkstone have aura, and only with the best pen and ink can we draw the most brilliant paintings! ”

Wen Muya pointed to the table in front of us.

"My father would lean over in front of this table every day to paint, and sometimes he even stayed up all night."

She pointed to a white wall behind the desk.

"Once upon a time, the Huanghuali bookshelf was placed in front of this wall.

Speaking of this Huanghuali bookshelf, my father wanted to go to the Fa'an Temple in Liangshan to ask for it! ”

"Ho'an Temple?" I'm a little confused.

"What? Didn't Mr. Wen buy this bookshelf back? ”

Wen Muya shook her head with a smile.

"Not really. It was a coincidence that my father got this shelf.

It was when my father reached middle age that his painting fell into a bottleneck. At that time, he liked to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and would go to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. Later, this habit continued for more than ten years, and my father became an old pilgrim of Fa'an Temple, and even became close friends with the abbot of the temple.

By the way, little brother, do you know where the Fa'an Temple in Jingliangshan is? ”

I nodded.

"Isn't it on the outskirts of Dongcheng on the Jingliang Mountain? Not far from us, I have heard that there is a temple on the mountain before, but my legs are inconvenient, and I haven't been there for so many years! ”

"That's right, that's it!" Wen Muya said.

"There is a Buddha hall in the Dharma Room, which is not the main hall for burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, but the place where the scriptures are placed in the temple.

My father was a good friend of the abbot of Fa'an Temple, and he often went into the Buddha's hall to read scriptures. The Huanghuali bookshelf is placed in the Buddha's hall all the year round, and it is full of scriptures.

My father used to like Huanghuali too, and he fell in love with the bookshelf at a glance, and it took a lot of tongue to lick his face and ask the abbot Master Miaokong for this bookcase. ”

I hurriedly asked Wen Muya.

"After the father got this bookshelf, did he suddenly become brainy?"

Wen Muya nodded like pounding garlic.

"That's right! I was about to say this. After your reminder today, I really remember. My father became obsessed with painting in his later years, and it really happened shortly after the bookshelves were brought back.

At that time, my father was already 54 years old, but suddenly, he seemed to become very energetic, burying his head in front of the table every day and constantly painting, and even a pair of "Charm and Spirit" sold for 3 million.

But I don't know why, my father's paintings in his later years are very different from before! ”

"Painting style?" I'm a little confused.

Wen Muya led me to the east wall of the study.

"Little brother, look at it! These are some of the landscape paintings that my father used to make. These are the works of my father when he was young, and although my father is a little famous, his paintings can't be sold at a price, so they have always been framed and hung in the study! ”

I looked at the landscape paintings on the wall, which were bright and dark, splashing ink. These paintings are beautiful and magnificent, and there is really a sense of ambition. ”

"Not bad! Not bad! I nodded.

"What a pity! No one appreciates these landscape paintings. On the contrary, the fierce gods and evil spirits painted by my father in the later period are sought after by everyone now. ”

"What a fierce god!" I'll smile. Is there anyone in this world who likes to draw fierce gods and evil spirits?

Wen Muya shrugged helplessly.

It's just that the paintings that my father painted in his later years have been bought by others at a high price. I don't have any ready-made works here.

However, my father used to hold art exhibitions when he was alive, and if I search the Internet now, I can still see the video version of the paintings that my father made during his lifetime! ”

Say, the phone is a good thing. Ever since Pang Guang got me an apple, I've been playing on it every day, and now I've reached more than a thousand levels!

I immediately opened Baidu and searched for the three big characters "Wen Zhengru".

When I opened the picture, I saw that it was full of well-known paintings that Mr. Wen sold for in his later years.

"The Charm of the Dragon", "The Eighteen Layers of Hell", "The Hundred Ghosts and Cannibals", "The Nine Sons of the Dragon", "The Underworld......

I look at these paintings on my phone, evil ghosts, hell, ancient mythical beasts, the underworld, the painting style is tragic and lifelike, it is simply purgatory on earth.

Just looking at these pictures on my mobile phone, I can't help but feel a trace of depression in my heart. The tension of this drawing is very strong, and it will give people a sense of immersion.
