Chapter 162: Peerless Painting

"Stay out of here?"

"I beg the Immortal Master to help me."

"I don't know how far is it?"

"The farther away the better."

“……”

Song You showed a smile.

A few days ago, in the Taiwei Mansion, although the first meeting with this Master Dou was not friendly, it was known that he was coerced, and Song You, as a Taoist, naturally would not hold a grudge against him.

In addition, he has long had a fate with Master Dou, and he knows that Master Dou's painting skills are superb, close to the ancestors of the Dou family, and he has admiration. Back then, the ancestor of the Dou family was also a god of skill, such skills are really rare, just like Master Kong in Yizhou at the beginning, Song You naturally did not want it to be lost.

I can hear a little from Master Dou's story-

The reason why he came here to visit Doctor Cai, and felt that Doctor Cai would most likely help him, in addition to knowing that Doctor Cai was kind-hearted and willing to save people, was because of Doctor Cai's medical skills.

Master Dou felt that Doctor Cai was also a person with great skills, and he must know how rare such skills were and how pity it was to lose them, so he naturally cherished them. So he confessed his identity and explained that at this time, the fate of the inheritance was about to be broken, and Doctor Cai would most likely help.

It's hard to talk about this kind of thought.

But you can hear it.

If you can save someone's life with a gesture, and you can keep a psychic skill, why not?

Dr. Cai is willing.

The Taoist is also happy.

However, if he had the ability to travel thousands of miles in one day, he would not be worried that he would not be able to see the last side of the old way in Guanzhong.

After thinking about it, the Taoist said:

"Master Dou's painting skills are superb, he is already the best in the world, and he may not be able to have the attainments of the ancestors of the year in time, so he is naturally willing to help the master. It's just that he has to go step by step when he travels the world, and he doesn't have the ability to send Master Dou away thousands of miles away with a wave of his hand. There are also means to change the appearance with illusion, but only a little bit of this technique, not to mention attainment, it is reluctant to use it on oneself, and it is difficult to use it on the master, I am afraid that it can only be managed for one day at most. ”

The Taoist said and looked at Master Dou helplessly: "In one day, how far can the master go?" ”

“……”

Master Dou didn't answer for a while when he heard this.

However, he did not show any disappointment.

Instead, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't move, as if his mind was quickly calculating something.

After a while, he finally came to his senses.

"The immortal master wants to travel the world?"

"I have watched the heirs walk the world from generation to generation and travel through the world." Song You looked at him with a smile, "It seems that the master has a new method." ”

"Does the immortal master know what the treasure in my house is?"

"I only heard it was a painting."

“……”

Master Dou didn't say a word, and took the bag from his back.

Among them are two long boxes, wrapped in oilcloth, one is shorter, roughly the picture of two tigers fighting for a mountain, and the other is longer, more than half a person's length.

When I opened the long box, it was a picture scroll.

Untie the red rope and slowly open the scroll -

A fantastic and beautiful picture of a mountain village gradually came into the eyes of several people as the picture scroll unfolded.

The women next to him all cast their eyes on this side.

The scenery in the painting is far and near, the pen is casual but very aura, that is, it is not the popular freehand landscape painting at the moment, nor is it like the Taoist portrait and the general statue painted by Master Dou a few days ago, as if it found a mysterious point between realism and freehand, and the scenery in the painting is a little real, and full of artistic conception.

Nearby, there is just a loess path, which seems to grow on the edge of the lakeside lake, and the road is covered with reeds, and in late autumn, white ears are pulled out, and they are connected into a piece, like a blanket as gentle and comfortable.

The whole reed is poured in one direction, and one can see the traces of the wind in the painting.

The path by the lake, but the road surface is very dry, often walked, stepped on smoothly, and it looks very comfortable, making people want to go inside for a walk.

The path is sloping and leads to the front.

Where lies ahead?

It is a high mountain like a wall of sky, which runs from the far left to the far right. Although there is a difference at the top, it is about the same height, with a line of peaks that is close to flat. At the foot of the mountain, there are countless houses and cottages on the slightly sloping ground, and it is dusk, when it will be dark, and the smoke of the cooking is only rising.

It was late autumn, so people kept burning straw.

Plumes of green smoke rose.

In the twilight, the green smoke is gray and blue, but it does not rush straight up.

Either it was blown by the wind, or the mountain was so far away from the village below that the smoke could not rise to the top, and from then on it seemed to stay only above the cottages at the foot of the mountain, and then it was pulled by the evening breeze into a line of smoke from south to north, spreading along the ground, covering the gentle curves of the foot of the mountain, like a veil over the cottages in the twilight.

The painting is large, but there is no shortage of details.

The geese returning late, the cows walking back, the colors of the sky at sunset, and the first star that just emerged, there are no less at all.

Even the woman who didn't know how to draw was stunned.

Even cats are full of novelty.

As for the Taoists, they feel an indescribable mystical charm that fills the painting, which is full of life, and it seems that the picture is still, but it seems that everything is running.

Where is this painting?

It's clearly a real world.

Where is the drawing paper?

It's clearly a door.

The Taoist gradually widened his eyes.

Just looking at this glance, even if you can't find Doctor Cai in this line, even if you don't want to avoid the disturbances of Changjing for the time being, it's already worth it.

It's worth it.

It's worth it to walk another thousand miles.

"It is true that the ancestors had the ability to make paintings come true, but they did not make them true with a casual stroke of ink." Master Dou's voice broke the tranquility of the scene, "Not only is the time and place indispensable, but also the opportunity and feeling must also be felt from the inside out, serious, poured into the painted things, and endowed with spirituality, so that it can be born." ”

"This painting ......"

"This painting is the treasure of my ancestors, it is a treasure that is more precious than all the paintings of my ancestors combined." Master Dou paused as he spoke, looking at the painting with a complicated expression, "It is indeed more precious than all the paintings of the ancestors combined. ”

"Put it away quickly, even if there is no wind at this time, don't get dusty and lose your spiritual charm."

"Yes."

Master Dou only put the painting away temporarily.

The Taoist recalls the scenery in the painting and the subtlety he felt, and still feels that the aftertaste is endless, and says: "This painting is extremely extraordinary, the spirit is sufficient, the mystery is incomparable, most of the painting has become a world of its own, presumably it must have been made by Dou everyone who devoted their lives to it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the heroine was stunned for a moment.

The painter was even more shocked.

Ordinary people look at this painting, they will only feel that the painting is good, and people with keen spiritual sense will feel that there is a kind of magic in the painting, so that they feel that they can walk in, at most they feel that the painting is full of mysteries, but they can't say where the mystery is. To say that the painting has its own world, few people dare to think so.

But it's true.

"The immortal master is worthy of being an immortal master, and you can see the subtlety of the spirit at a glance, and Dou admires it."

"I don't have the ability to see through it at a glance." Song You said truthfully, "It's just that a few years ago in Yizhou, I saw another master carving master with great skills, and I went to visit in the next place, and after some knowledge, I got a touch of creation from the master, so I had a little more skill, which happened to be on this road." ”

"That's ......"

"I wonder where this painting is?"

"It's the ancestral home of my Dou family, Yunzhou Nu County."

"I must go in this life."

"It's a pity that Dou has lived in seclusion in Angzhou with his father since he was a child, and he has never returned to his ancestral home to visit."

Master Dou's face was full of regret, but this was not the time to talk about this, he shook his head and continued: "Everyone in the world knows that my Dou family has been a family heirloom with painting since this ancestor, but I don't know that my Dou family had been a court painter thousands of years ago, just because the son of heaven was mediocre and rude, and the ancestors were unwilling to serve anymore, and the progress of living in the deep palace in Danqing for a long time was also very unfavorable. ”

"The ancestors are noble."

Song You dealt with it casually and listened attentively to what he said.

The little girl next to her also stretched her neck and stood upright, staring at the painter without blinking.

Although Master Dou was afraid that the people in the rivers and lakes would come over, he also knew this person's skills, and knew that his top priority was to persuade this immortal master, and to convince such a person, it was absolutely impatient.

So be patient and say slowly:

"Since leaving the court, unfettered, the ancestors have specialized in painting techniques from generation to generation, pursuing the mysteries of mountains and rivers, and the progress is really fast, and I gradually have the skills that my Dou family has passed on.

"If you want to go to the extreme of Tongshen with Danqing, in addition to skills, pen, ink, paper and inkstone must also be exquisite.

"Legend has it that there was an ancestor who traveled the world, got acquainted with the gods, walked with it, took the 10,000-year-old green tung that the phoenix inhabited in the north of Yuezhou to make paper, made a total of four, it is a peerless paper, full of spiritual charm.

"When the ancestor went back, he used one, although the painting was miraculous, but he felt that his painting skills were not enough, so he passed down the remaining three, and told future generations that the painting skills were not at the peak and could not be used easily.

Later, two more ancestors, thinking that their skills were excellent, used two pieces of drawing paper, but they were the same as the original ancestor, full of confidence before putting down the pen, after the painting was completed, the miracle was beyond imagination, but it was this unimaginable miracle that made them regret it.

There was even an ancestor who died after painting, so he told his descendants more strictly not to abuse Qingtong painting paper.

"Until later, there was an ancestor with excellent talent, according to legend, he could draw miracles on ordinary drawing paper, and when he reached middle age, he had painted people to live and tigers to come true, so early, has far surpassed the ancestors of previous generations.

However, there was only one piece of drawing paper left, and he didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, so he packed his bags, stayed away from other places, traveled all over the world, and saw many landscapes. It is said that in order to wait for a wonderful scenery, he could wait for half a year. However, I don't know how much I have seen the peerless landscape, and the more I have seen, the more I don't know how to put pen to paper, and the more I can't find what I want to paint.

"When the ancestors returned to their hometown in frustration, it was already the twilight of their lives, braving the war, wasting half their lives, the previous dynasty was destroyed, and the new dynasty was established, but no results were found, and the drawing paper was still blank."

Master Dou shook his head when he said this.

Song You seemed to know the result.

Sure enough, I only heard Master Dou say with emotion:

"It was a late autumn in the sixth year of Xinzheng, the ancestor just walked back to his hometown, looked up, it was the scene in the painting, peaceful and peaceful, he was stunned, tears filled his eyes, after a while, he picked up the pen on the spot, and it took only half a day to make this painting, the painting moved the world, and the ghosts and gods were frightened for a while."

The Taoist only felt a thousand emotions, which was wonderful.
