When the old man heard this, a look of disappointment suddenly flashed on his face, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I thought it was a big deal." It turned out to be this. Hehe. It seems that I really made the wrong choice this time. The events that would change my life for the rest of my life turned out to be nothing more than my momentary delusions. ”

The old man's words were not so much for Wuqi as for himself. The blind old man's expression gradually became lost, and his waist, which was originally quite straight, seemed to have been bent down under the self-deprecation of these words, his back completely became bowed, and the whole person's complexion seemed to have aged dozens of years at once, and his face was like ashes.

"Nope. Your foreknowledge is not wrong. I know what I can do to you, all you need is you to promise to teach me how to draw and teach me how to improve my skills. Seeing that the old man's face was getting more and more ugly, Wu Qi hurriedly spoke.

When the old man heard this, he didn't care about Wuqi's words at all, but instead smiled bitterly again, shaking his head and muttering to himself mockingly: "How can a miracle happen in this world."

Something that will change my life for the rest of my life. Hehe. I'm so old that I don't even have a good brain. How could there be. It's all just a dream bubble. The ability to foresee the future, perhaps, is just an excuse for me to deceive myself. ”

The old man's expression became more and more lost, his whole person was like a flower that had withered before it could be put away, and his whole body was filled with a sense of despair, and his spirit was extremely low. Wuqi couldn't stand it anymore, and he didn't plan to say anything anymore, so he shook his right hand directly, and after spitting out a few obscure spells in his mouth, a white cloud appeared on his palm.

Without saying a word, he gently placed his right hand on the old man's closed eyelids and began to massage gently. It didn't take long, and when he withdrew his palm, the time had only passed for more than ten minutes, but the blind old man didn't notice the slightest abnormality, but only felt a faint tingling pain under his eyelids.

"What are you doing?" the old man subconsciously asked, but he didn't hear Wuqi's answer, and then said with a wry smile: "It's useless." It was also in vain to massage my eyes. My eyes were blind long ago when I was born. I've been to doctors for decades, and I've tried all kinds of methods, but if you can recover after a few massages, it's not ......."

"Open your eyes and try it now. Wuqi didn't wait for the old man to finish speaking, he interrupted the other party's nagging and said.

"I ......" the old man was about to say something, but Wuqi interrupted the other party again and said, "Don't say anything now, just open your eyes and try." ”

This time, the old man didn't like he was joking, he was very serious, but he was still not sure whether he was comforting himself or if it could really be done. So, after a moment of silence, the old man was skeptical, and tried to slowly raise his eyelids.

Suddenly, a bright light pierced his eyes like silver needles, and the old man suddenly couldn't stand it, and hurriedly closed his eyes again, and secretly said what was going on.

"Don't be afraid. You haven't opened your eyes for so long, you will definitely not be able to stand it for the first time you see something, no matter how faint the light is, you will feel dazzling, it doesn't matter. Just try a few more times, and when your eyes get used to it, you'll be able to see clearly. Wu Qi saw that the old man was suddenly startled, and explained patiently.

"Really?" the old man asked again, puzzled.

"Yes. You open your eyes and try again. Wuqi nodded and replied softly.

The old man took another deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, this time, as before. He opened his eyes a slit, and suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly turned white, as if he had suddenly entered a world where there was nothing but a blank space, and his eyes immediately stinged again.

He hurriedly closed his eyes again, but at this moment, an encouraging voice came from his ears, "Don't close it." Keep your eyes open a little wider and bear with me. Stick with it a little longer and give it a try. ”

The old man gritted his teeth and opened his eyes again, he suddenly felt that something was flowing out of his eyes with soreness, and subconsciously touched it with his hand and put it on his tongue to try, it was salty.

This is...... Tears!?

Now, the old man's eyes are still blank, and he still can't see everything around him clearly, but he can't help but feel a shock in his heart when he thinks of the word "tears". ,

I even have tears?

The old man's body trembled suddenly, and he wanted to speak with some excitement, but Wuqi interrupted him and said, "Don't speak." Now try to look at what is in front of you. What is this?"

After the old man nodded slowly, his mood returned to normal, he forced the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, and focused his attention on a white thing in front of him, as time passed, the blank space in front of the old man's eyes began to slowly fade, turning gray, and after a while, finally became a blur in front of his eyes.

Square, without any other color. It's just white, but it's not as thin as paper, and it's thick at first glance.

"Is this a book!?" When the old man's vision changed from blurry to clear, and he saw what was in front of him, a word suddenly sounded in his heart, so he replied without thinking.

"Yes. Take a look around, you should be able to see it now. Wuqi said with a smile and nodded.

After Wuqi's reminder, the old man's heart suddenly shook, and he quickly glanced around, all kinds of furniture, furnishings, as well as walls and floors, all suddenly came into view, and their appearance was almost exactly the same as what the old man had imagined in his mind.

But the old man couldn't help but cry in his heart when he saw these things he had been using for the first time with his own eyes.

This is not a tear of sadness, but a tear of excitement, joy. The old man who saw the light for the first time suddenly became much more energetic, and at a glance, his complexion was not only a lot ruddy, but also his eyes were bright, giving people the feeling that he seemed to be more than ten years younger all of a sudden.

"Thank you, thank you!" The old man who came back to his senses suddenly turned his head and grabbed Wuqi's little hand excitedly, and after saying these three simple words tremblingly, he finally showed an unprecedented smile, just like a happy child, who actually smiled so happily and innocently.

After that, the old man ran into the bedroom excitedly and called up the old woman who had fallen asleep, tonight was the most excited and happy night he had ever been born, so his most urgent thing at this time was to share the joy of his heart with his wife. The old woman saw that her wife could see things with both eyes, and she shed tears of joy with excitement.

Seeing two old people who were more than 100 years old together, laughing, cheering, and hugging in the room like two young people, Wu Qi also smiled with relief.

That night, Wuqi spent the night at the old man's house, and early the next morning, he left early and went to the imperial city to meet the sword saint Abel. At this time, there are still four days left before the appointed time, and Wuqi still has three days to prepare, but he now has new ideas in his heart, and his eyes are no longer confused, but he has the determination to fight to the death.

After leaving the old man's house, Wuqi's figure flickered, and he turned into a black light and went straight to the imperial city in Sword Saint City. His speed was extremely fast, his eyes were determined, and his mind kept recalling the picture of the night conversation with the old man last night. It seemed to ring in his ears those conversations that made Wuqi realize a lot in his heart.

"Strictly speaking, there are a lot of ways to draw. I can't help you if you don't tell me what you want to improve. ”

"You can paint anything. However, I always feel that my paintings are missing something compared to yours, but I can't say what is missing. I hope you can point me across. ”

"Then you draw a picture for me to see. The subject matter is that you choose to draw a hill. Everything other than the mountain can be ignored, but the grass and trees on the mountain can't be ignored, okay, you can concentrate on painting a picture of the mountain for me to see. ”

"Good. ”

"Yes. No, it doesn't work. Your painting lacks a sense of atmosphere. Although the layering of the space, the use of color and realism are not bad. But there is a feeling of painting a snake in the handling of many details. It's like the fog on the top of this mountain, you painted the fog too fakely. And the trees on this mountain, although you are painting the trees are already very close to the real feeling.

However, it only painted the real trees and did not deal with the connection between the trees and the mountains. Take away the mountain, just look at these trees, it is definitely comparable to the real thing, but if it is combined with the mountain, it seems too fake. I know what your problem is, what you lack is the attention to detail and the connection between big and small things. ”,

"Yes. With that you say, I really understand the problem. However, these questions seem to be the hardest aspects of a painting to be perfect, is there any quick way to improve my skills in this area? I am running out of time. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Since it's all about this, I won't hide it from you. I have three days left from tomorrow. If I can't solve the problems you mentioned in three days, my friends will die. I'm not afraid of death myself, but I don't want to see them die. ”

"It's so serious, you can't be a cultivator, right?"

"Yes. But how did you know about the Dao cultivators?"

"Oh. My son used to be a cultivator as well. But it's a pity that later, he died because of some cultivation matters. I've heard a lot about cultivators from my son. ”

"I'm sorry to remind you of the sad thing again. ”

"It's fine. It's been a lot of years anyway. Since it's such a serious matter, you let me think about it...... Perhaps, there is a way to do it. However, it is very dangerous. If you fail, you may not even have three days, and you will die on the spot, just like my son did at the beginning. ”

"No matter how dangerous it is, I'm going to give it a try. ”

"That'...... All right. If only you could find the King of our Empire, Lord Swordmaster. Let him take you to the forbidden place of the Imperial City, the Ice Pool. You might be able to improve your drawing skills in less than three days. However, that ice pool is not just ordinary ice, and if ordinary people enter it, they will be frozen into ice men in a second.

Even if a powerful cultivator enters, it will last for about an hour at most. It seems that the Sword Master himself went in a few times when he was young, and although he did not become an iceman and eventually walked out of the ice pool, it is said that he did not succeed. ”

"Success? What kind of success? Does that ice pool have any special effect?"

"Yes. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people willing to try it with death. Once successful, it is said to awaken the water element in the body. So, that place has another name, it's called the Elemental Awakening Pool. ”

"I see. But what does my painting skill have to do with the Ice Pool?"

"The reason why you have a serious problem with the details. It's not that your drawing skills are not high, it's that your observation is not good enough. But it's not the real reason, the real reason is actually in your heart. It's as if you're asking me to improve your drawing skills within three days. Your heart is too impatient.

If you don't calm your mind thoroughly, you won't be able to improve your drawing skills. So, if you want to achieve the result you want in three days, you have to make your mind completely in the realm of spiegel and stop water, so that you can do it. And the ice pool is the best place to go. ”

Does Spiegel stop water?

During the high-speed running, this term kept flashing in Wuqi's mind, and when he thought about it, his eyes gradually showed a decisive color, and he muttered to himself, "I don't have a choice now." In three days, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. As long as my painting skills are successfully perfected, the bottleneck that I have been unable to break through should be able to be successfully overcome. As long as my strength also reaches the realm of an advanced cultivator, I will be able to defeat Lao De!"
