Chapter 12: Something Missing

"There is such a land where the country is rich and the people are strong? Wouldn't that attract the covetousness of other countries?"

The lady was puzzled.

"I'm not afraid, I have more than 10,000 soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, more than 10,000 people who have been disarmed and returned to the field, and more than 10,000 young and strong people who can go to the battlefield. ”

Chi Zheng's expression was calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary.

But this frightened the four women present, and the goose-yellow woman wrenched her hand and counted it, completely unable to count such terrifying numbers, and couldn't help but shudder: "Fortunately, it is thousands of miles away, and there are mountains and wilderness to block it, otherwise how could there be seven kingdoms waiting for my life?"

"Lay people don't have to worry, my Tang Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, not to mention thousands of miles away, even if it is close at hand, it will not offend other countries. ”

The noble lady's face was very ugly, she seemed to think of something, "There are so many people, aren't there people in the mountains and wilderness?"

"Yes, there are many people in the Tang Dynasty, people can be seen in the mountains and barren mountains, and there are no big insects in the territory, either they are killed, or they are kept in captivity, and there are a few of them, and they are also deliberately released to the mountains. ”

Chi Zheng sighed.

"Even the big insects are about to be killed and kept in captivity?"

The lady was dizzy and shook her head, not wanting to believe that there was such a powerful country in the world, but when she looked at Chi Zheng with a fixed mind, she found that his face was calm, his eyes were sincere, he was by no means a liar, how could a person with such a beautiful appearance lie?

She licked her lips lightly, and before she could speak, the woman in white came up with her meal.

"Daoist, please have a meal. ”

Chi Zheng looked down, the so-called meal, there are fruits, there are steamed meat, the meat doesn't know what kind of meat it is, it smells quite fragrant, and he doesn't recognize this fruit, anyway, he hasn't seen it, it looks like a verdant plum?

The woman in white didn't know how to talk, and found that several younger sisters were in a daze, sat down with them, and looked at them suspiciously.

"Chi Dao Chief, I wonder if dinner is to your taste?"

The lady whispered.

Chi Zheng didn't dare to eat it, he was sure that there was a 99% chance that there was definitely something wrong with these five women, how could they dare to eat the food that was served.

"Thank you for your hospitality, but you can't eat this night. ”

"Why is that? Isn't dinner to your liking?"

The lady hesitated.

"No," Chi Zheng explained, "the poor way is a monk, and he does not eat meat, and he has the precept of not eating at night. ”

"That's right. ”

The noble lady understood: "It's the concubine who doesn't know about it, and she collided with the Taoist chief, and I ask the Taoist chief for forgiveness." ”

"That's it, since the Taoist chief doesn't eat meat, he can't just forget it, isn't it snubbing the Taoist chief? Then let the sisters dance for the Taoist leader!"

Without waiting for Chi Zheng to agree, the lady clapped her hands, and the four sisters below immediately got up, grinning, and actually danced.

It's amazing!

While dancing, there was no accompaniment, so the four sisters also sang a la cappella, although Chi Zheng didn't know what kind of poetry he was singing, but it sounded good, and he finally knew why the ancient kings didn't come to court early, it was really a dancing girl who was too beautiful.

However, Chi Zheng's immunity is amazing, and he has long been accustomed to seeing such affectionate eyes, but soon, he found that something was wrong, the four sisters jumped and jumped, and came to his side, one leaned over to be next to him, and the other put his small face close to his ear and blew gently.

Is this teasing him?

"Dao Chief, is the little girl pretty?"

The second girl was next to Chi Zheng, her face flushed, and she looked at him intoxicated.

"Daoist, I can sleep tonight. ”

This is what the third and fourth girls said.

Needless to say, the fifth girl was about to stick to Chi Zheng's body, and her lips were open, revealing her teeth.

"Everyone, wait......"

Chi Zheng got up and sighed: "The faces of the four laymen are moving, and they are indescribable, but it is a pity that there is a little regret. ”

"Regrets?"

The four girls looked at each other, and the second girl asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Can you have pen and ink?"

Chi Zheng asked rhetorically.

"I'll go get the pen and ink. ”

The third girl was about to take the pen and ink immediately, and after a while, she brought the pen and ink and put it in front of Chi Zheng's case.

"Four girls, please stand in the middle and dance like you have just started. ”

At this time, he changed his name to girl, and when the four sisters saw him doing this, they understood that he was painting for themselves, and they were so overjoyed that they all jumped up again in the middle.

Chi Zheng picked up the brush and touched it, and began to grind again, he was forced by his grandfather to practice calligraphy when he was a child, and he is no stranger to brushes, but after all, he has not practiced for many years, and it is impossible to say that he can get started with how familiar he is.

In particular, the gap between the brush and the pencil and the fountain pen is too big, and Chi Zheng thought that it was impossible to sketch with a brush, and those painters who could use the brush to integrate Western pencil sketching were all masters.

But to his surprise, holding the brush, an instinct that seems to be in muscle memory takes over his right hand, so that he can swing it without dryness.

Surprised, Chi Zheng also patiently, the brush sketch can not be modified, the pen must be decisive, he strokes through the light and heavy lines of dense arrangement, forming black, white and gray to express the object, soon let a beautiful light dance picture depicted.

"Alright. Chi Zheng put down his pen.

Even if it was a noble lady on the main table, she couldn't help but come down to take a look.

Naturally, the four sisters also hurried over to watch.

Their mouths opened wide at this look, how could they have seen such a simple and clear, black and white, clear and concise brush sketch.

This kind of painting, which combines Western sketching techniques and ink painting techniques, surprised and disbelieved the five people who only knew ink painting.

Ink painting emphasizes meaning, while sketching focuses on the presentation and use of light and shadow, making light and shade a method of expressing three-dimensionality, not the same as ancient white drawing.

In the eyes of the five people, they can't understand the inner core of this change of light and shadow and the overall observation, but they feel the impact of the first impression, that is, the truth.

They never imagined that they could see their real selves and others on a painting.

Between the four sisters' light dance, they smiled and looked forward to the painting, which made several people stupid.

In fact, Chi Zheng painted in a hurry, although the brush is beyond imagination to feel familiar, this is not his real skills, if he is given half an hour and a pencil, he can make this painting several times more textured.

Rao is like this, and it still makes the five sisters stupid.

"Wait, why?"

Suddenly, the third girl in the goose yellow veil blushed with shame, and pointed to the sketch drawing of herself and others: "This dress is too strange." ”

Of course, it's strange, although Chi Zheng painted four sisters, the clothes on their bodies are different.

Although the ancient costumes worn by these five sisters have a unique temperament and flavor, Chi Zheng still prefers modern and improved Hanfu, without showing his thighs or arms, can he still be called good-looking clothes?

In addition to the noble lady sitting on the main seat, although the four sisters who took the initiative to get close to Chi Zheng were coquettish enough, they had never seen such a clothing design, what is the difference between this and stripping naked?
