() In the process of dancing the sword, the prisoner cow and the mantis kissed unknowingly sprinkled a lot of ink on their bodies, and the mantis even splashed a few bits of ink on their faces. The words on the wall were as ugly as ghost paintings, and the two of them had long known that there was no hope of passing this test, so they simply had fun with each other, but it was also interesting. The woman in blue walked over, looked at the words of the two, laughed, and shook her head.

Bei Yuankai's ink was also sprinkled with spots, and his four big characters of "spring, summer, autumn, and winter" were barely completed, although they were not as beautiful as the words of the woman in blue, but they were much stronger than the words of the imprisoned cow and the kiss. After reading it, the woman in blue commented: "Although it is a zigzag, it has no charm." There is no body, but there is no soul. It's a pity, it's a pity. Bei Yuankai scratched his head: "The girl's swordsmanship is very mysterious, and I am deeply admired." ”

Meng Fantao's handwriting is much more beautiful than the previous ones, and his body is quite clean, only the cuffs are stained with a few bits of ink. The woman in blue nodded and praised: "After only watching the swordsmanship of "Four Seasons Reincarnation" once, I memorized the movements, and began to have a charm, this comprehension ability is really outstanding." Meng Fantao touched his beard and said calmly: "There are a total of thirty-three strokes in four words, and this set of swordsmanship is only thirty-three moves, which is not difficult to remember." The woman smiled again: "This set of swordsmanship does not have offensive power, you must pay attention to the strength and amplitude of the action when writing, so it is just a set of swordsmanship to stabilize the mind, no need to remember the mantra to cast, and there is no need to use spiritual power to urge, it is natural and simple." It's just two of them over there......"

The prisoner bull arched his hand and said: "Girl, my brother is really not talented in this area, this kind of test is really difficult for us, see and laugh." ”

"This level has passed, you go to the fourth floor. The woman in blue waved her sleeves, and the four of them returned to the small building in front of them. The woman in blue was gone, and the inkstone, brush, and ink on the four of them were gone.

"Compared to the first two levels, this level is much more interesting. Meng Fantao said with a smile.

"Don't look complacent. Pei Yuankai didn't look very happy. Among the four people, he was the only one who did not pass any of the tests, although he did not know what the final result would be, and his anxiety was inevitable.

"The Phantom Array within the Phantom Array...... It's not easy. The Prison Cow muttered.

"That's right, I didn't even find out just now, this landscape, this small building is already a phantom array, that woman actually brought us to a phantom array, I only know that different formations can be nested and superimposed, and similar formations can also work?"

"Yes, but it's hard. And we didn't move at all just now, it was she who waved her sleeves and directly laid down the phantom array, containing us in it. This formation attainment is breathtaking. The prisoner cow admired.

"Alright, stop making small talk. There are four Star Monarchs in Xidou, and there is still one final level left. Meng Fantao urged.

"Huh? Bei Yuankai suddenly thought of a question, "This small building is clearly five floors, if the first four floors are a test, then what is in the fifth floor?"

"Could it be the Tai'a Immortal Sword?" Meng Fantao was excited at first, then frowned slightly, and said, "No, the first level of Brother Niu has passed the test, the second level is Brother Kiss, and the third level is me, so who does the Tai'a Immortal Sword belong to in the end?"

Bei Yuankai said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, there is still a fourth level, maybe I can pass the test of one level." ”

Meng Fantao was silent for a while, and then proposed: "Everyone, how about this, we will do our best in the last level, and the person who has cleared the most times in the end can get the Tai'a Immortal Sword, how about it?"

He kissed and said, "What if only Brother Bei has passed the fourth level?

Meng Fantao said: "The probability of that is relatively small, and it is not too late to make plans at that time." ”

"What do you mean by 'relatively small odds'!" Bei Yuankai felt despised against, "Don't underestimate me, now the four arts of 'piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting' are the only ones lacking a 'painting', if it is a test I will definitely not lose to you!"

"Yo, you still know how to paint, why have I never heard of it?" Meng Fantao was weird, "What's the use of you not losing to us, you have to win the Star Monarch." ”

Pei Yuankai snorted from his nose: "You don't know much." Without further ado, the fourth layer will be clear. With that, he strode up to the fourth floor.

The Prisoner Bull and the Kiss had already heard the news of the Fire Spirit Bead and the Shuzang Palace from Jairus, and it was speculated that the Tai'a Immortal Sword should not be in the Jinge Cave either. Now that they have passed each level, the task of this trip has been completed, so it is very easy.

When you reach the fourth floor, the most striking thing is the four long strips hanging from the ceiling. The length was very long, hanging down to the ground, and it was blank, about three feet wide, and about a foot apart from each other.

On the ground in front of the four long banners, there was a woman in green sitting up, and when she saw the four people coming up, she got up and said, "I am the Xidou Juwei Xingjun." This level tests the drawing. ”

As soon as the words fell, Pei Yuan laughed: "How about it, I guessed right, it's really a painting." What do you want to draw?"

"Plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum are the four gentlemen, you can choose one of them. The woman in green said.

"Haha, it's simple. Don't say choose any one, you can draw all four. "Bei Yuan is in the chest.

The woman in green said: "You choose first, I naturally have other requirements." ”

Meng Fantao pondered: "Plum blossoms have five petals, chrysanthemums have complex clusters, and although bamboo has no flowers, there are many bamboo leaves. Only orchids, only three petals, are the best to paint. So he said to the other three, "I love spring, so I choose orchids." ”

The kiss then said: "I love winter, then I will paint plum blossoms." ”

"I'll choose Qiu Ju. "Prison Cow Road.

"Okay, I'll draw Xia Zhu. "Pei Yuankai thinks that painting is the same.

The woman pointed to the painting behind her and made a request: "From left to right, in order, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, plum, no need to mix colors, the shape can be similar, but not less than 50 strokes." In addition, I will hinder you from approaching the frame, you can only hide or guard,

If you can't attack, the attacker will be disqualified. The first to finish the painting wins, and the time is until the incense burns out. Following the woman's other hand, there was a stick of incense burning in the incense burner on the table in the corner of the room, and the incense was still very long, and it looked like it had just been lit.

"What weird request...... It's really depressing, the first and second layers don't have to fight, the third layer has no opponent, and the fourth layer has an opponent and won't let me go, but I can't suffocate me. Pei Yuankai complained.

"Miscalculation, it takes no less than fifty strokes, so how many orchids do you have to draw...... Meng Fantao thought depressedly.

The prisoner asked, "Girl, I don't know if you paint by one person at a time or by four people at the same time?"

"Four people at the same time. The woman in green replied.

"I see...... It's easier said than done, just look at the gap to paint. This level is a test of reaction speed. The prisoner said secretly in his heart.

"The pen and ink are on the table next to it, so you can pick it up and start drawing. The woman said.

Bei Yuan rushed to the table with an arrow step, grabbed a brush, picked up the ink, and immediately turned around and rushed to the second canvas. The woman in green raised her right hand, her sleeve covering the middle of the frame. Pei Yuankai turned the pen upside down, holding the pen in his left hand and trying to smear a vertical stroke on the left part of the frame. The woman slapped her backhand back, causing the painting to swing backwards, and Bei Yuankai did not apply it this time, but threw out a few drops of ink and stained it on the canvas. He suddenly thought of a problem, if the ink droplets are always splashed and the painting is dirty, then even if the painting is completed, it will not be considered a pass, because the pattern full of ink droplets cannot be called a "painting", and it seems that the requirements of this level are higher than imagined.

Taking advantage of the woman in green and Bei Yuankai's fight, the mantis kiss rushed to the picture on the far right. The woman in green's arms were not long enough to protect her here. Unexpectedly, after the woman took the second picture, her figure appeared in front of the mantis in a flash, and her left palm slashed his wrist, causing the brush to fall directly to the ground. The woman quickly flashed back into the second and third frames. At this time, the swinging canvas has not yet fallen.

Meng Fantao rushed to the first frame, and the prison cow also rushed to the third frame. If the two can't do it, they will come to the two of them again and see how the woman in green responds.

But the speed of the woman in green disappointed them, she moved like a phantom, slapped Meng Fantao's arm with one palm, and then punched the prisoner cow's chest, and the prisoner cow hurriedly put away the pen and retreated. At this time, the picture opened by Bei Yuan had just swinged back, and the woman gently blocked it and fixed the frame. In the first round of the battle, it was undoubtedly the woman in green who had the upper hand.

The four of them slightly certain, rushed to the canvas at the same time. This time, the woman stepped forward instead, and her two palms struck out to both sides, Bei Yuankai and the prisoner cow hurriedly dodged sideways, but they bumped into Meng Fantao and Kiss. It seems that the four of them can't go up at the same time, the place is too crowded to move.

What should I do?, the four of them frowned in unison.

Bei Yuankai glanced at the canvas and had a plan. His figure flickered, and he turned into three phantoms, rushing towards the upper, middle, and lower sections of the canvas respectively. This is Bei Yuankai's "One Qi and Three Yuan" body method, only one of the three figures is true, this body method can not only play a confusing role when attacking the enemy, but also a big guarantee when escaping. This time, the figure at the bottom is real. Bei Yuankai had already imagined in his heart that the woman in green would definitely think that the figure above that was the farthest away and the most difficult to block was real, and his real body simply rushed directly to the picture scroll.

The eyes of the remaining three people lit up, and they had a good body! Even Meng Fantao secretly applauded. Although he looked down on Pei Yuankai and Pei Yuanguan's brothers, their body skills were indeed second to none in the world of cultivating immortals, and he sighed to himself.

Unexpectedly, the woman in green also flashed, and conjured three figures to meet Bei Yuankai's three figures, each of which struck out a palm. Bei Yuankai didn't dare to bet on which of the woman's figures was real at this time, so he had to retreat and dodge, and at this time, the upper and lower figures dissipated.

"One Qi and Three Yuan" body method, you are only the first stage, and you haven't practiced yet. The woman in green laughed.

Bei Yuankai was shocked, the woman was right, the body method of "One Qi Sanyuan" is divided into three stages: the first stage is called "virtual three-element", at this time, one of the three figures is the body, and the two are phantoms, so it is named; the second stage is called "complex three-element", which is also a body and two virtual shadows, but the entity can be changed at will in the three figures; the third stage is called "real three-element", and the three figures are real. In fact, the three figures of the "One Qi and Three Yuan" body method are just illusions due to the extremely fast speed, and in the third stage, the speed reaches the extreme, and it can appear in three positions almost at the same time, so each figure is an entity. In fact, there is still a very small difference in time, but it is impossible to tell it by the eye. This set of body methods is taught by the master, and it is said that it is a rare exercise that will never be passed on except for the disciples of the original lineage, and Pei Yuankai doesn't know why the West Dipper Star Monarch in front of him actually can.

Pei Yuankai and Bei Yuanguan's body methods have only reached the first stage, and this body method consumes spiritual power, so the two of them will not use it easily unless they have to. Bei Yuankai was anxious just now, only thinking about how to touch the picture scroll, and didn't take into account the drawbacks of "One Qi and Three Yuan" for a while. Now he felt that his spiritual power had been consumed a lot, and he had not received results, and he couldn't help but secretly regret it.

"You have to be like him to have a chance. The woman in green smiled faintly and pointed to the rightmost frame.

On the canvas, there is already an arc, which is drawn by the woman in green when she blocked Bei Yuankai just now. Although the woman in green was already aware of it, she was powerless to stop it. And Meng Fantao and the prison cow paid too much attention to the fight between Bei Yuankai and the woman in green, and they didn't even notice the action of the kiss.

However, it also woke everyone up. To put it bluntly, if you want to win, you have to work together. No matter how fast the woman moves, there is only one person, even if she can use the "One Qi Three Yuan" body method, but she only has one pair of eyes. The four of them stepped forward in turn, keeping the woman in green busy, so that she had a chance to touch the canvas. In addition, it is unrealistic to just wait for an opportunity and wait for others to create an opportunity for themselves, and if everyone thinks like this, everyone will not have a chance.

Figured it out

, the four of them went into action. Although the woman in green's "One Qi and Three Yuan" body can conjure up three entities, the duration is very short, and the four people take turns to step forward, and the time is staggered, sometimes two, sometimes three, and five people are tossing up and down, so it's not lively.

After about half of the incense was burned, Meng Fantao had already painted sixteen strokes on the canvas, Bei Yuankai relied on the speed advantage and painted twenty-three strokes, the prisoner cow was the worst, only ten strokes, and the kiss was the same as Meng Fantao's sixteen strokes.

It can't go on like this, there is only half a stick of incense left, but the four of them are still far from the number of fifty strokes, and the quality of the painting is not satisfactory.

Meng Fantao's 16 brushstrokes are all grasping a little gap, drawn by a quick brush, the brushstrokes are relatively light, most of them are slender, and can only be used for orchid leaves; Bei Yuankai's 23 brushstrokes are some thick brushes that can be used as bamboo stems, but the length is different; the 10 strokes of the prisoner cow are all short and broken brushes, and even a cluster of chrysanthemums is not enough to count; most of the 16 strokes of the cheek kiss are arc-shaped, but unfortunately some are large and some are small, and they are far apart, and they cannot spell out the shape of plum blossoms.

"What should I do? There is not much spiritual power, and I am afraid that it will not be long before I can use the extremely fast body technique, but the woman does not have the slightest tiredness, it seems that she has to find another way, and she can't fight with speed alone. Bei Yuan said happily. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of many pens on the table by the wall. "Yes, one hand is too slow, I'll do it with both hands!" he rushed to the table and took another brush. Painting with both hands is not difficult for him. The other three also suddenly realized, and they all rushed to the table to get pens.

When the prisoner came back, his hands were full of brushes, and he had one between his fingers. He cried and laughed and said, "Big brother, are you going to put a splint on yourself?" Eight pens, how can you draw?"

The prisoner laughed: "I draw chrysanthemums, and there are many strokes in the chrysanthemum clusters, so it doesn't hurt to have a few more brushes." ”

Bei Yuankai listened, thinking that what the prisoner cow said made sense, he also went back to take the pen, holding two in each hand, a total of four. He paints bamboo, and it is useless to have too many pens.

As for orchids, there are only three petals and they are angled to each other, so it is difficult to draw with too many brushes. The curved petals of plum blossoms are even more so, so Meng Fantao and Kiss didn't go to pick up the pen again.

With more pens, the efficiency really increases. After about a quarter of the incense sticks had passed, Meng Fantao had already made forty strokes. However, the petals of the orchid are very poorly drawn, with different lengths, different sizes, and wrong positions, most of which are mixed with the orchids, and they are almost a mess.

The eight brushes of the prisoner cow went into battle together, looking majestic, but in fact, it was not. There are too many pens to hold at all, and as soon as they come up, they were knocked off three by the woman in green with one palm, and then the woman elbowed and punched, and the brush fell to the ground with a "crackle", leaving two in hand. The prisoner smiled bitterly and gave up this method. The chrysanthemums he painted were so far away from each other that they could not form a cluster at all, and if they were divided into several clusters, there would not be enough of them, and he would almost give up.

The plum blossoms of the kiss have been basically painted, and only the branches are left unpainted. But his plum blossoms are really not flattering, a few are as big as a cake, a few are as small as a projectile, and some of the flowers have five petals of different sizes, which is very ugly. The kiss doesn't care about this, just connects the petals.

Pei Yuankai's bamboo painting is the best, his hands because of the perennial theft, the ten fingers are extremely powerful, the grasp of the pen is very firm, and very flexible. The bamboo leaves have been painted, the shape is roughly similar, and the four main stems are basically formed, and only the last few thick brushstrokes are needed to complete.

But Bei Yuankai found that the more difficult it was to draw in the end. At first, the canvas was blank, and it was possible to use it freely, but now that the picture has taken shape, the only few missing strokes have been raised accordingly, and both the position and strength must be appropriate to complete the painting. Of course, the woman in green understood this, and Bei Yuankai felt that she was clearly trying to embarrass herself, and always blocked those key positions to prevent his brushstrokes from reaching the frame.

Gradually, there was not much time left, and the incense was about to burn out, and the last stroke was still missing from Bei Yuankai's painting. If this main stem is at the bottom of the bamboo, it will be counted, and it can barely be considered complete if you add a sum of fifty elsewhere, although the bamboo is shorter, but it is also bamboo. But the missing pen happens to be in the middle, and the bamboo is disconnected up and down, but it can't be said.

"Are you going to fail?" Bei Yuan happily burned the fire, after all, the other three had passed the first level test, and this painting was his last chance. Looking at the empty section of bamboo on the canvas, Pei Yuan happily thought, "If only I could add that stroke without touching the canvas...... Alas, it's all a fantasy, if you can paint in the air, where is the need to work so hard?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and at the critical moment, he finally became wise in a hurry. He rushed to the table and brought back two more brushes.

The woman in green glanced at the grappling with the other three, smiled, and said, "No matter how many pens there are, it's useless. ”

Bei Yuankai didn't seem to hear it, he still put six strokes in both hands and walked towards the scroll. The woman in green gave up blocking the other three and came specifically to stop Bei Yuankai. Since Bei Yuankai was only short of this one, he put his hands together, and the tips of the six pens were all aimed in the same direction. It couldn't be easier for the woman in green to block this shot, she directly punched Bei Yuankai's hands, once it hit, Bei Yuankai had no chance.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when he was about to be hit, Bei Yuankai suddenly opened his arms, and the woman in green was stunned, and her fist hit Bei Yuankai's chest. Bei Yuan opened a "poof" and spit out a mouthful of blood.

No, it wasn't blood, it was a mouthful of ink! This mouthful of ink crossed the arm of the woman in green and sprayed right on the top half of the blank space! Then, the ink slowly flowed down, filling in the blank space in the lower section, and a pair of "Summer Bamboo and Moon Pictures" was completed!

It turned out that Bei Yuankai had already calculated that the woman in green would definitely attack him from the direction of the missing bamboo section in the painting, and she could just go over the woman's arm with the inkjet method. How much ink can be used to fill the second half of the water, Bei Yuankai has already estimated, and going to the table to get a pen is just a trick. It worked!

The girl in green nodded approvingly and shouted, "It's time!"
