The subordinate responded: "My lord, Chen Juzhong is an eccentric, but also talented, his paintings are unique, they are sought-after, and ordinary people can't ask for them. ”

"Ah, such a man is a strange man, you take me to him quickly!" Zhang Xuan said.

"My lord, he is not something that anyone can see when they meet, the former city lord Jiang Liu has eaten a lot of closed doors." The subordinate responded, "You didn't make an appointment, and if you rush to see him, it is very likely that you will be closed like the previous city lord!" ”

"You guy, why don't you talk at all?" Zhang Xuan reprimanded, "The former city lord is the former city lord, I am me, and there is no comparison at all." The former lord of the city was closed to him, but I might have been welcomed by him with great enthusiasm, didn't you think of such a situation? ”

"I'm thinking!" The subordinate bowed his head in response.

"Don't think about it, let's see for yourself how he welcomes me!" Zhang Xuan said, walking out as he spoke.

Several subordinates had no choice but to follow him out.

When they came to the door of Chen Juzhong, as Zhang Xuan's subordinates expected, the gatekeeper really didn't plan to let them in, and said through the crack in the door: "Everyone, please go back!" My husband said that the guest would not be seen unless he had an appointment and he happened to be available when he came. You don't have an appointment, and my husband happens to be out of time right now, so he's missing. ”

After all, it is necessary to close the door that is only open by one crack.

Seeing this, several subordinates turned their eyes to Zhang Xuan, with a faint sneer on their faces.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the gatekeeper squeaked open the door, and said to Zhang Xuan with a smile on his face: "Lord City, it is a small recklessness, please forgive me!" You moved your body here, the little one is very honored, please come in, please come in! ”

Yes?

Seeing this, several subordinates couldn't help but be stunned, and said in their hearts: How did this gatekeeper's condescending and refusal transformation come so abruptly and naturally? His master is a weirdo, could it be that this janitor has also practiced a strange supernatural power with his master?

How did they know that the thunderous and lightning-like rapid transformation of the janitor was caused by Zhang Xuan's strange supernatural powers, and the janitor was still in an involuntary state at the moment, and he would definitely be confused after he came to his senses.

Zhang Xuan smiled at a few subordinates, strode in, and thought as he walked: Hmph, you damn guys, you want to see Lao Tzu's jokes, but Lao Tzu just makes you can't see it!

Everyone followed Zhang Xuan to Chen Juzhong's study, and saw that Chen Juzhong was concentrating on painting, so they stood quietly and watched.

Chen Juzhong didn't pay attention to who came in, and he didn't even glance at Zhang Xuan and the others, Gu Zi waved his animation brush and dotted on the desk, holding the brush to his mouth from time to time to ponder.

Zhang Xuan saw that Chen Juzhong painted a hairpin lady waving a Luo fan to flutter the fireflies, in addition to the hairpin lady, there was also a girl who looked like a handmaid, and there were some flowers and plants and scattered rocks around the two.

In his opinion, there is something special about this painting, especially in the nail heads, in addition to the hairpin ladies and girls have nail heads on the clothes, there are also those mountain stones.

The two women had nail-headed rat tails on their clothes, which was actually not surprising, because Zhang Xuan already knew this when he studied calligraphy and painting with Da Mao. It's strange that there are a lot of nail heads in the painting, and there are also places where they shouldn't.

However, on closer inspection, these nail heads are not obtrusive, but are full of texture and movement, and become the finishing touch of the whole painting.

Zhang Xuan sighed because of this: "Ah, too many nails and not nails, Mr. Chen is really a master of painting!" ”

Chen Juzhong, who was concentrating on painting, heard this, immediately stopped what he was doing, straightened up, turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan, and said with his eyes: "Little brother, it turns out that you also know how to paint?" ”

"I just know a little bit about it, it's far worse than Mr. Chen!" Zhang Xuan opened his mouth to respond.

"Who is your husband, and did he deliberately tell you not to pause too much when he taught you?" Chen Juzhong asked.

"Well, my husband did say something like that." Zhang Xuan replied with a bow.

Hearing this, Chen Juzhong threw away the paintbrush in his hand, frowned while pacing, and said: "The mediocre teacher is wrong, and the mistake is even worse!" He only understands the surface of some painting art, but he has no intention of studying the principles of painting art, and he is unable to study it, so he dares to teach people casually, he should be killed! ”

Zhang Xuan saw that Chen Juzhong was so contemptuous of Da Mao, a court painter, that he hurriedly changed the topic: "Mr. Chen, the ink you used to paint these nail heads should be special, right?" ”

"Well, you're right, you have a discerning eye!" Chen Juzhong said, "I have mixed some special soil with these inks, as for what kind of soil it is, it is my secret that I can't tell you!" What I can tell you is that only such a nail head, with the right rat tail, can achieve the most agile feeling of fluttering clothes. ”

Zhang Xuan came here not for the purpose of learning and expanding his painting skills, but after listening to Chen Juzhong's words, he seemed to have a feeling of being a little surprised. Because of these textured and dynamic nail heads, the clothes worn on the hairpin ladies and girls have a sense of agility. It can be seen that a little ingenuity can enhance the beauty of a painting several times over.

What would happen if such a practice were applied to the slaughter of the Soil Demons?

In many cases, the only way to achieve unexpected results is to break away from the usual habits of thinking and practices.

Thinking of this, he even forgot to say goodbye to Chen Juzheng, and strode out, lest the spark of enlightenment he had just generated suddenly be extinguished.

Unexpectedly, Chen Juzheng sent it out with his front heels and back feet.

When he got out of the gate and heard the footsteps behind him, Zhang Xuan realized his faux pas, turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, I won't say goodbye, you don't need to send it out." ”

"Don't say goodbye, it's worth a gift. Those who don't say goodbye are laymen, but they are not worth giving! Chen Juzheng responded with a smile.

Zhang Xuan waved at him, immediately turned around and left, and said in his heart: This Chen Juzheng is really a strange person, and he is acting differently from ordinary people!

On the way back, he wondered what would happen if he added some spikes and rat tails to his jacket to fight back against the Earth Monster.

The damned earth demon, like the wood demon and the wind demon, thought that he had no means to deal with it, but he wanted to think of some means to deal with it, so that not only could it not attack with impunity, but he was afraid at the thought of it.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, he calmed down and pondered the resources he could currently use, and the first thing that came to his mind was the tree knot.

The practical function of the tree knot has been verified when dealing with the Wood Demon and the Wind Demon, and it may as well be used as a nail head to deal with the Earth Demon. He can infuse the knot into the spinner in advance, and when the trough demon attacks him, let the whirlwind bounce back the attack energy of the trough demon along with the knots that have been placed in advance, thus dealing a heavy blow to the twich.

As for what materials to use to deal with the rat tail of the earth demon, he didn't have a clear idea for a while.

He imagined that the rat tails connected to the nail head might not have much of an offensive effect, and their main function was to stick to the soil demon in order to transmit information about the location of the soil demon to him. To achieve this, the material that makes up the rat's tail must be very unique and easily recognizable to him.

Such materials are very rare, and he has to think carefully about whether he has them on him.

After racking his brains and pondering for a while, he set his mind on the ghost.
