Chapter 163: Entrusting with the Immortal Master
Song You roughly knew Master Dou's method.
"It's just that this painting is so miraculous, and the master has painted my portrait in the Taiwei Mansion, how dare you hand over this painting and your net worth and life to me?"
"As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw a tiger and a tiger, and you don't know your heart. But if you want to draw a bone appearance, before drawing people, you must first learn to look at people, and before drawing tigers, you must first learn to look at tigers. Although Dou does not have the ability of his ancestors to communicate with the gods, he also has his own experience of watching and painting people. Master Dou respectfully bowed and saluted, "Although I have offended the immortal master, I also know that the immortal master has a great way to cultivate, and he is no different from the immortal god, his heart is indifferent, and his conduct is noble, and he feels that the immortal master will not covet Dou's painting." ”
As he spoke, he paused:
"What's more, at this time, there are not many people in the rivers and lakes on Beiqin Mountain who are searching for Dou's traces, Dou is already desperate, if the immortal master really wants this painting, rather than handing over the painting to them, or destroying it, or being treasured by dignitaries, it is better to give it to the immortal master, maybe it is a better place to go than to stay in Dou's hands."
Song You smiled when he heard this.
But instead of being happy, I think it's funny.
"This painting is truly a peerless brush, and it should be well preserved for generations to come." The Taoist said, "The unique painting skills of the master and the family should also be passed on." ”
"The immortal master promised to help me?"
"I only hope that thousands of years later, the world can still see this painting, and there are still unique painting skills of the Dou family in the world."
"Dou worships the Immortal Master......"
"The master's approach has to do with painting."
"The immortal master is clever."
"Tell me about it."
"This painting is related to the brushes left by the ancestors, and only by touching the brush on the paper, people can walk into the painting and survive in the landscape. It is like a real world, it is said to be a little smaller, but there are more than ten miles between the east and west, and dozens of miles from north to south, and there are more than 100,000 villagers in it, and Dou's wife is among them. ”
"What a paradise."
"Dou can carry his bags and enter the painting, so he asks the immortal master to take the painting down the mountain, put it away properly, and wait for the immortal master to leave Changjing in the future, travel the world, and wherever he goes, the immortal master thinks it is appropriate, so he uses a paintbrush to open the world in the painting and release Dou." Master Dou said respectfully, "This painting is four feet long, and it has to be carried by the immortal master, if the immortal master agrees, Dou is grateful, and if the immortal master should not, Dou also admits this calamity." ”
"It's just a painting, it's not a problem."
"Thank you, Immortal Master."
Master Dou said that he was about to kneel down.
"It's just a gesture, not such a big gift." Song You helped him up, "What's more, this painting has amazing charm and is extremely mysterious, if you can coexist with it for a period of time, not only will you be lucky, but I am afraid you can also find a lot of insights and enlightenment from it, which will help you practice in Xia, and the benefits you will get can be regarded as an exchange with the master." ”
Master Dou had already gotten up, and he was stunned again when he heard the words.
He is not stupid.
It is already a great grace for immortal masters to help each other, and now they are specially saying this, what a great kindness to take care of their own feelings?
I couldn't speak for a while, but I had to make a big salute.
"Master, no."
"Immortal Master's Kindness ......"
"Under the surname Song Mingyou, he practiced in Fulongguan, Lingquan County, Yizhou, but he was just a Taoist, and he deserved to be called an immortal master." Song You only corrected him now, "The master can just call him sir." ”
"Dou's name is Dou Xuan, taking the word Miao Xian, he was really frightened before, and he never reported his home to the immortal master, it really shouldn't be, and I ask the immortal master to forgive me."
"Master, please come into the painting." Song You didn't want to talk to him more, "It's still early at this time, but after a while, I'm afraid that someone from the rivers and lakes will come to me." ”
"Good good ......"
Master Dou said yes repeatedly.
Then he took out a paintbrush from his bag that he hadn't used for many years, unfolded the painting again, holding the brush, and only being careful about his painting.
Subtle hooks, spiritual charm.
The Taoist man's face was calm.
The little girl craned her neck and couldn't take her eyes off it.
The woman behind also held a knife in both hands, leaned back against the door, and stared without blinking.
"This painting can only be opened from the outside, when you use it, you only need to touch the paper with a pen, if the immortal master wants to enter the painting to find Dou to do something, please be sure to explain in advance outside."
"Got it."
"The great grace of the immortal master, Dou will always remember it in his heart."
“……”
"Dou will leave for the time being."
This painting is more than half a person wide, almost as big as a door in an ordinary house, and more than a person long, and when hung up, it looks like a door.
Master Dou handed the paintbrush to Song You, picked up all the bags except for the box where the painting was placed, and walked towards the painting with the bags under the gaze of the two people and a cat.
Mysterious and mysterious.
The painting seems to have really become a door, and this person has actually walked through the drawing paper and into the painting.
The woman's eyes widened, and the girl's eyes widened.
All three of them gathered around.
The scenery on the painting has hardly changed, but the returning geese in the sky have disappeared before, the buffalo has changed its position, the twilight gray smoke spreading along the mountain in the distance has changed a little, and the village at the foot of the mountain is too far away to see the difference, but in the near distance, there is an additional figure.
Middle-aged, thin, with bags, standing on the path, frozen.
"God!"
"Wow!!"
Both the woman and the girl were taken aback.
The figure of the middle-aged man is still frozen in the painting.
The Taoist did not answer, but only put the painting away.
Halfway through it, he suddenly paused, opened the painting and looked at it again.
The extra figure had already walked some distance on the path, and seemed to be uneasy, still looking back. It's just that I don't know what kind of scenery he sees when he looks back in the painting.
Only then did Song You put the painting away again and put it in the box.
I took the rest of the ancient paintbrush, looked at it, and put it in the box.
The paintbrush doesn't have much spiritual charm, maybe it was used by that Dou family back then, and it was indeed stained with aura, and now it is almost scattered. It's just that this painting is painted by this pen, which is quite related, and naturally the pen becomes the key to unlocking the world in the painting.
But in fact, Song You can do without it at all.
Although the creation he obtained from Master Kong in Yizhou is different from the painting of the truth, there are many things in common, and with this subtle ability, Song You can open up the world in the painting.
The same should have been the same for the Dou family back then, with the ability to naturally open the world in the painting, and the ability to enter and exit freely, even if he was in the painting, he could come out.
Until now, others can only open it with a pen.
“……”
Song You shook his head, he couldn't witness the demeanor of the master back then, and he regretted it.
I didn't look at it in the painting, and my heart itched.
Only then did the woman beside her speak:
"It's priceless."
"I'm afraid it's more than that."
"Are you really greedy?"
"Nope."
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a master of cultivation."
"Do you have a woman?"
"Yes, it's big."
"Oh?"
"I just never thought of fighting for it before, but this painting is enough for me to eat for eight lifetimes." Wu Nuxia shook her head and sighed, "If it weren't for you, I would have come here alone to find Doctor Cai and meet him, even if I didn't slaughter him, I would have to snatch the painting and exchange it for money." ”
"The woman is calm."
"Are you really going to take the painting back and take it out when you leave Changjing, and then release him and return it to him?"
"If you have promised, how can you go back?"
"Yes."
Wu Nuxia smiled, wasn't it because of trustworthiness that the two of them could meet in Lingbo back then?
"I think his name is Ling Shenxian, that's right."
"Definitely."
This woman naturally didn't know that although Song You was not greedy for this painting, he only took it back and hung it in the room, and often watched it, experienced the charm in the painting, and realized the subtlety, and he had benefited immensely.
"How do you take it down? Do you have that kind of ...... A spell that can hold something in your sleeve? ”
"Nope."
"So how do you take it down? This box is a picture at first glance, and there are so many people on the mountain. Wu Nuxia said, "Oh, you are in the Taiwei Mansion, among those who were stunned by you, I heard that there are also many Jianghu people raised by the Taiwei Mansion, and you are not afraid of them." ”
"Not much."
"Then do you still have to wait for the miracle doctor?"
"Nature."
"Okay!"
The two of them sat down again and hid the box.
Only then did he start a fire to boil water, cook breakfast and eat, according to last night's plan, and wait for Doctor Cai to come back.
From time to time, people from the rivers and lakes came and asked them what they were here for, the woman said that she was here to find Dr. Cai, and someone asked them if they had seen a thin middle-aged man, and the woman rushed to answer and said no, these people left in disbelief, saving the Taoist people to be entangled between lying and trouble.
I have to thank her for that.
It gradually passed noon.
The little girl was so bored that she turned into a cat to catch rabbits, took out wild eggs, and then turned back into a small branch, and practiced writing on the dirt ground, or pestered Taoists to teach her new characters.
Wu Nuxia stared quietly beside her.
The sun is half tilted.
The Taoist peeled off the boiled wild egg, ate the egg whites himself, and stuffed the yolk into the mouth of the little girl next to him.
"Hmm......"
The little girl sat on the threshold, and didn't look at the Taoist, but he opened his mouth when he handed it over, chew it, chew it, and then continued to stare at a few lines of words on the ground, and before she finished eating, she muttered: "Go to two or three miles, four or five Yan villages, six or seven pavilions, eighty or ninety branches, and ......."
"Flowers."
"Flowers~"
After the little girl corrected it, she turned her head to look at him, sensitive and studious: "What do you mean?" ”
"Doesn't Sanhua Niangniang know the meaning of every word?"
"I don't know if you connect it."
"Read a book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning."
"Read it a hundred times?"
"The meaning is self-evident."
"Oh!"
After the little girl answered, she really read it in a low voice, and counted it carefully with her white and tender fingers.
The Taoist doesn't care, let her read.
The woman next to him, still holding a knife, sat and asked him, "When did you start teaching her to read?" ”
"Soon."
"How long was that?"
"It's late spring."
"Two months."
"Almost."
"I know a lot of words."
"Sanhua Niangniang is very smart and diligent and studious." Song You glanced at the girl next to him, and saw that the girl was also slanting her eyes towards her, and her reading voice was lowered, and when she saw herself looking at her, she quickly took her eyes back and continued to read carefully, he smiled, "I taught her words, I basically learned them once, and they will soon be able to write well." ”
"Pretty smart."
"yes."
It's so cute that children want to be complimented.
"It's good to learn more words."
"It's half afternoon, is the woman still waiting?"
"I'm not waiting."
"Then I won't wait."
"What do you say? Do you still go to Beiqin Mountain to find your snake fairy who has a fate with the master? ”
"I know enough about this trip, so I won't go."
"Not going?"
"I'll go later."
"When will it be in the future?"
"Probably winter."
"How?"
"This mountain is vast, and the scenery must be very good in winter."
The Taoist replied, turned out the box with the painting, put it behind his back, called the girl, and went down the mountain with the woman.
