Chapter 262: It's getting more and more grounded
"This Huang Hanlin seems to be Delong's return to his hometown in five years, and he built this mountain villa to live for a long time.
In the past few years, I was attached to the way of Danqing, and there were many paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds, but later, I accidentally got a "Skeleton Fantasy Picture" made by Li Song in the Southern Song Dynasty, and suddenly the painting style changed greatly, full of skulls and white bones, and a picture of hell.
But it has to be said that this level is getting higher and higher. ”
While admiring the personal paintings of Huang Hanlin in front of him with secret surprise, Li Yu recalled the relevant information he had obtained from reading the files, trying to find some useful information.
One thing that is almost certain is that the original painting of "Skull Fantasy Drama" in Huang Hanlin's hand has turned into a strange treasure and has some kind of magical power.
Huang Hanlin must also know something about this, and was once obsessed with it, trying to study and master it.
During this period, there must be a large number of exercises, but those that can be selected and placed in front of all guests for comment and appreciation must be the representative works that they are proud of.
Judging from the date of the inscription of these paintings, it is not difficult to see that he has been improving.
Regardless of the structure, brushwork, as well as the overall artistic conception and charm, it is getting higher and higher.
If the first two "Merchant Picture" and "Spring Society Tianlun Picture" just make people feel gloomy and weird, then this "Peach Mountain Market Map" has a chilling sense of horror.
In this regard, Li Yu's evaluation is that "the old guy's art is becoming more and more grounded".
But to be honest, he really didn't understand the meaning of the paintings.
Maybe I don't have any artistic cells.
It seems that seeing the good response to the first few paintings, Huang Hanlin's confidence has greatly increased, and he ordered his family to take out a few new ones.
March 15, 15th year of Delong, Taoshan Jushi, "Walking on the Green Map".
In this painting, it is not difficult to see that Huang Hanlin's painting skills have obviously improved, and he can be called a famous artist, even people like Li Yu who do not understand art can clearly feel that some of the technical things are gradually maturing, and the style is completely finalized.
It's like a confused person has his own direction and is on the right path.
However, the things described in the picture are even more eerie and weird, which is really hard to explain.
On the surface, it seems that it is a scene of the gentry and nobles dragging their families to the suburbs, but in the corner of the picture, a skeleton figure running far away appears abruptly, dragging the half-crippled skeleton to dig the pit by hand, as if digging some treasure.
Li Yu looked at the skeletal figure with some confusion.
In the whole picture, his behavior is the most bizarre, and even destroys the structure of the whole painting to a certain extent.
But the person in the painting doesn't notice him at all, as if the other person doesn't exist.
At this moment, Li Yu suddenly noticed that the yellow warbler beside him seemed to react to the painting.
Her gaze was fixed on the paper, as if she was also observing the skeleton man who was digging the pit, still unaware of her own gaze.
It's just that after looking at it for a long time, I finally seemed to notice it, and I couldn't help but turn my head and glare at him, my face was crimson.
"Good painting! It's really a good painting! ”
"I am reminded of the "Spring Tour" painted by the famous Sui Dynasty artist Zhan Ziqian......"
"The level of this painting is not inferior."
"Hahahaha, you have praised it, I am still far from Zhan Ziqian."
A group of literati and scholars did not hesitate to admire.
Huang Hanlin was praised and was quite happy, but he still said humbly.
Ignoring the mutual praise between these literati and scholars, Li Yu withdrew his gaze from Huang Ying and landed on the sixth painting.
As always, the style of painting in the underworld, without any accidents, is full of paper skeletons.
This time, it was an even more eerie scene.
I saw that in the market similar to the previous "Momoyama Market Map", pedestrians were weaving, and the eyes were full of white bones.
Looking closely at the pork stalls on the street, it seems that there are human bodies and legs, and the children on the roadside are not playing with shuttlecock balls, but human heads, human bones, and eyeballs.
The only exception was a large living person with a frightened face, walking in it with a normal appearance, afraid to raise his voice.
That person, as if in disguise!
I don't know why, the skeletons all over the street didn't notice his strangeness at all, only he knew.
However, once it is noticed, according to the scene where there are aliens everywhere, the end must be very miserable.
Because in such a terrible place, a living talent like him with fresh flesh and blood is an outlier in the true sense!
This is the 18th day of April in the 16th year of Delong, the "Taoshan West Street Map" made by Taoshan Jushi.
"Where is this Taoshan West Street, it's clearly the Xudu Prefecture, right?"
Li Yu frowned.
"Childe, look."
At this moment, Xue An's slightly surprised voice alarmed Li Yu.
Li Yu followed his secret reminder and looked forward, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The seventh painting is displayed there.
This painting is a painting of a villa in a fine brush, depicting a mid-view of the villa courtyard with a three-point perspective unique to ancient Chinese paintings, with the houses inside in order, like other similar paintings, showing the daily life of the gentry in the countryside.
If you don't look at anything else, just this breath of life on the paper can already be called clever.
However, as in the previous works, the characters in it are all skeletons, and both men and women, young and old, have a bit of the treacherous meaning of the underworld.
With the blessing of Huang Hanlin's increasingly sophisticated techniques, this eerie meaning has become even stronger.
On the eighth day of the fifth month of the seventeenth year of Delong, Momoyama Jushi, "Villa Map".
"Why does this place look familiar?"
Li Yu subconsciously looked at the dirt slope in front of the main gate of the villa, and his expression moved slightly.
It is the mountain villa of Huang Hanlin's family, that is, the mountain villa where he is located!
"There are two more pictures in the back."
Xue An reminded with a solemn face.
Li Yu walked over, and sure enough, he saw that the eighth picture depicted a close-up view of the villa, and the picture showed several living people entering a gate that looked like a netherworld.
There were a few skeletons at the door, dressed in the costumes of servants, standing in a regular manner, but in the courtyard, there were a few little skeletons like naughty children probing their brains, even if there was no flesh and blood, and they couldn't see their faces, they were still alive and smart.
On the twenty-sixth day of August of the eighteenth year of Delong, Momoyama Layman, "Into the Illusion".
"It really seems."
Li Yu frowned secretly.
Although the actual picture was not the same as what he and Xue An saw and heard when they came in, this eighth picture still caused a slight ripple in his heart, and a strong sense of déjà vu emerged.
The last one, the inscription is July 15, 19th year of Delong, Momoyama Jushi, "Fantasy Viewing Painting".
An even stronger sense of déjà vu struck, because what was presented in the picture was a scene of several living people and several skeletons gathered around the table to enjoy the painting together!
