Chapter 87: "Impressions"
Xu Zhenyun was secretly surprised in his heart.
For a moment, there seemed to be a lot of insight; But I can't say what I figured out.
Mu Qingyun continued: "Because it is related to cultivators and secretly in line with the purpose of helping all people, this auction is not a magnificent image; On the contrary, he pays attention to the speed of Senxuan and has a solemn bearing. β
Of course, there is no hosting, shouting, enticing bids and so on. The exact amount of bid depends on the heart. β
Xu Zhenyun pondered carefully, and wanted to say, "Is this a connection between the two worlds of secular and monasticism?" But on second thought, the parties and the purchaser did not have specific interests and contacts.
It didn't take long for the bidding to be called to 23,500 taels.
This auction has risen alternately to the dust settled, the peaks and loops turned, and the poles were extremely dynamic and static.
After reaching the price of "23,500 taels", it suddenly quieted down, and there was no imaginary see-saw process.
The winning bidder was the person in the third private room in the first row.
The next few pictures were all completed in such a "solemn and decisive" atmosphere.
Among them, the highest price point reached 39,000 taels.
Xu Zhenyun found that the high price seems to be directly proportional to the "abstractness" of the picture.
The first picture similar to the "Phoenix Divine Bird Picture" is already the most "realistic" among the successive pictures, so the price is also low.
In the end, the auction price reached 39,000 taels, and what was really painted was "a mess", as if it was just a few circles that a child had scribbled on randomly; The author Ma Xiusi is actually this year's second-class heir, and he had a relationship with Xu Zhenyun at the Pengcheng banquet.
Mu Qingyun said: "Which one you like, tell my sister that it is." β
Xu Zhenyun smiled: "I still like to be a little more realistic." β
Mu Qingyun nodded and said, "This is also what I want; You're trying to save me money. β
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Zhenyun also understood the key. In fact, the patent right of this "chest embroidery pattern" obviously has the taste of luxury.
"Secret Immortal Relationship" and "Immortal Approach" are actually just words; Because everyone knows very well that this thing has nothing special except for the hands of cultivators, it is not an illegal treasure, and it does not have any divine skills to protect the body.
Then the more abstract the pattern, the more obvious the characteristics of the monk, and the more it can be distinguished from the worldly pictures such as "Five Blessings and Longevity" and "Three Friends of the Cold"; The higher the value, naturally.
After several more paintings were auctioned, the next painting came up, and Xu Zhenyun's eyes immediately lit up.
Imaginary "realistic flow" drawings!
It is a picture of a lady playing the flute by the stream, and the scenery is lifelike and extremely moving.
Xu Zhenyun said: "That's it......"
But his words came to an abrupt endβ
Because Xu Zhenyun clearly saw the author's name on the right side of the small picture - "Jiang Chengzhi"!
It's really ghostly......
Mu Qingyun thought for a while, and then said: "I didn't expect to pick this one." Whether you use it or not, it seems ominous to buy it and spread it to the world. β
Mu Qingyun immediately bid: "Ten thousand taels." β
This is the floor price.
No one raised the price.
Jiang Chengzhi's paintings can perfectly integrate the "charm" of monks with secular aesthetics, and are extremely talented in the eyes of his colleagues; But in the eyes of ordinary people, using it as a chest embroidery will inevitably have the disadvantages of "brocade night walking", so the value is not high.
Just when the time was approaching, Xu Zhenyun thought that Mu Qingyun had taken down this picture scroll, and a majestic voice suddenly came from a box in front of the right: "Twenty thousand taels." β
Mu Qingyun said: "Thirty thousand taels." β
There was no hesitation in the box on the right, and the price was increased instantly: "Forty thousand taels." β
Mu Qingyun's expression was calm: "Fifty thousand taels." β
Xu Zhenyun was speechless, could it be that his judgment just now was wrong?
Mu Qingyun said in a low voice: "For the vast majority of people, such a chest embroidery picture cannot show their identity, of course, the value is not as high as the first-class 'ghost painting symbol', but there are also unique people who like this kind of 'seemingly ordinary, but actually extraordinary' tone." β
"When you put it out, you mistake him for normal clothes, and he's happy."
Xu Zhenyun nodded slowly, it turned out to be like this; Such emotions can be understood.
The man in the box in front of the right hesitated for a momentβthe first hesitation in the auction so farβand finally increased the price: "Fifty-five thousand taels." β
Mu Qingyun's expression remained unchanged, and Gu Jing did not wave: "Sixty thousand taels." β
There was no sound there.
Xu Zhenyun said: "Sister Qingyun, I changed my mind, so let's leave it at that." β
It turned out that Mu Qingyun's plan was to "recycle" the painting at a high price; As for Xu Zhenyun's chest embroidery custom drawing, buy another one.
But on second thought, this "realistic style" is not only in line with my own intentions, so why change it again? Jiang Chengzhi is a person who died under his own stick, even if he comes back from the dead, he can kill him again, why be afraid?
A smile appeared on the corner of Mu Qingyun's mouth, and he said, "This picture is indeed suitable for you." The pearl is secretly cast, and the brocade clothes are in the middle of the red dust and need to overcome the state of mind. β
About half an hour later, an auction ended unpretentiously.
After going out to deliver, because it was still early, Xu Zhenyun and Mu Qingyun chose to go to Tianxin Garden for a turn.
Soon after entering the "Dense Forest Wall", after walking about two or three hundred steps, Xu Zhenyun's heart suddenly moved slightly, and said, "Sister, is there a situation?" Is someone stalking us? β
"In my perception, it seems to be a 'mortal', but I wonder if it's a cultivator with extremely clever concealment methods?"
In Xu Zhenyun's perception, he is a young man with extremely delicate facial features, but his expression is slightly vicissitudes, and he is "following" himself and Mu Qingyun; It's even a bit blatant.
It was hanging far away, but then it got closer and closer; Almost within three feet!
After a few days of intense work, it's rare to have a break today; Do you want to give birth to moths again?
Mu Qingyun's expression was indifferent, he turned his head to look at Xu Zhenyun, and then pointed to the wooden chairs placed on both sides of the aisle in front of him, stretched out his hand to hold Xu Zhenyun's arm, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, go over and sit for a while." β
Xu Zhenyun's brain immediately went blank, and in an almost involuntary state, he was "half-dragged" by Mu Qingyun and taken to the wooden chair to sit down!
"Xianggong?"
"Didn't you say playing a brother and sister?"
"Or is the stalker behind really extraordinary, even Mu Qingyun needs to be false and wronged to cover up his identity? No, this is the capital of God! β
"Even if it's Shu Hansu, you shouldn't dare to sneak in directly!"
β¦β¦
Suddenly, the fragrant fragrance from the end of his nose disrupted Xu Zhenyun's thoughts.
It turned out that after the two sat on the wooden chair, Mu Qingyun leaned back and rested his head on his left shoulder.
After calming down for a few seconds, Xu Zhenyun sensed his surroundings and suddenly found that the young man who was suspected of "following" him was standing directly behind him at the moment, his eyes were red, and his fists trembled slightly.
In an instant, two lines of tears flowed.
Mu Qingyun kept leaning on Xu Zhenyun's shoulder, motionless; And the man behind him also turned into a statue; The picture in his eyes never seems to have changed!
After a full quarter of an hour, a smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, and then he turned sharply and walked away quickly, as if he had seen enough, and did not look back again!
It wasn't until he completely disappeared that Mu Qingyun sat up straight and glanced at Xu Zhenyun.
Xu Zhenyun seemed to sense something; But not exactly.
Mu Qingyun said leisurely: "It's very coincidental." His wife also liked to wear red clothes of the same style back then; And his appearance and dress are also seven points similar to Ling. After the husband and wife got married, they loved each other for three years. β
Xu Zhenyun immediately asked, "Then ...... his wife?"
Mu Qingyun said: "Two years ago, I passed away due to illness. β
Xu Zhenyun was puzzled: "We are ...... this"
Mu Qingyun smiled slightly, and said: "There are nineteen kinds of cultivation in the world, and what you have seen so far are three types: asking for signatures, liking, and judging appointments; What I have inadvertently touched and is about to feel is also getting married and starting a family. β
"The one just now is one of the more advanced ones; It is second only to finding the best relationship between the world's couples and another special kind of 'cultivation'. It's called 'Impression'. β
"Impressions?"
Xu Zhenyun repeated.
Mu Qingyun said: "Speaking of which, the definition of this 'impression' is very simple - when you walk in the red dust, appear in the field of vision of others, and become what others see and know, it is actually an 'impression'. β
"But to really promote the world's merits, this 'impression' needs to be deep enough for others."
Xu Zhenyun suddenly realized, and immediately said: "Become a beautiful picture in the minds of others, pinning on other people's expectations, thoughts, wishes, or other emotions; Is it a real 'impression' that his 'mind cultivation' has been promoted? β
Mu Qingyun smiled faintly and said, "It is said that you are very talented in the cultivation of world martial arts; Now it seems that this is true. β
"Actually, 'impression' requires a high level of talent. Because you don't have direct communication with the person who has the potential to stir up a ripple; Different characters have completely different habits. β
For example, the person just now, after staring for a long time, finally left, when there was a blessing for you and me in his heart, pinning the beauty of his life on others. Isn't this state of mind a relief for him? β
"But if you change someone, maybe you will see things and think about things, and you will be sad and haggard in vain, and all your thoughts will be lost."
"What kind of 'presentation' can achieve the best enlightening effect and test your understanding of each person."
Xu Zhenyun frowned slightly and said, "What about this person's experience...... Sister, do you know him? β
Mu Qingyun shook his head and said, "I don't know!" Of course, it was deduced on the spot. β
Xu Zhenyun was stunned, and said with a slight emptiness: "Isn't this cheating?" β
Mu Qingyun smiled: "Just be worthy of your heart." Normally, of course, this would not be done; But because of your special identity, you suspect that you are really a person with bad intentions, so you perceive and probe it. In the end, there is nothing wrong with taking the sheep and accumulating a worldly practice. β
Xu Zhenyun said cautiously: "I have a suggestion......"
Mu Qingyun's expression was straight, and he said lightly: "You say." β
Xu Zhenyun said: "In fact, playing husband and wife can enter the role better than sister and brother...... What do you think? β
Mu Qingyun did not directly refuse; With a slight blink, he smiled and said, "You can try it next time." β
