Episode 2 Chapter 9

Meng Chuan walked, watching the vendors on the side of the road soliciting business, and some Taoist disciples walking side by side in twos and threes, talking about it.

"Look, it's Senior Brother Meng. ”

"Senior Brother Meng. ”

The disciples of the Mirror Lake Daoist Academy immediately shouted respectfully.

What he saw along the way made Meng Chuan smile as well. Suddenly, he saw a disabled old man on the side of the road, who was sitting on the edge of the river and leisurely watching the passers-by, with a fishing rod beside him, he looked at it with a smile, and occasionally took a big cigarette stick.

Meng Chuan is a very clever painter who observes everything very carefully. He can feel the sense of enjoyment and comfort of the disabled elderly. The kind of 'satisfaction' that overflows. But the old man was very disabled and broke a leg and a hand.

"The disability is so severe, can he still be so comfortable and so enjoyable? He looks the worst on the whole street, but he enjoys it the most?" Meng Chuan walked over curiously.

"Old man. Meng Chuan walked over and spoke politely.

"Huh?"

The disabled old man held a big cigarette stick with one arm, looked at it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Isn't this Meng Chuan Gongzi? Meng Chuan Gongzi actually talked to me, an old man, and I have to tell my wife when I go back." ”

The smile of the disabled elderly is very contagious.

Meng Chuan said: "Old man, I don't know why you are so happy, but there is a great joy?"

"You see, teenagers are practicing martial arts, and adults are running for life. The disabled old man pointed to the street, "Looking at all this, I am happy old man." ”

Meng Chuan was slightly stunned.

"Back then, in Qinyang Pass, the demon clan gathered a large army and wanted to kill it under the leadership of a group of demon kings. The disabled old man said, "Once killed, the entire Dongning Mansion and even the surrounding area will be turned into a scorched earth, and no one will survive." At that time, the old man, I served in Qinyang Pass, up to the gods and demons, down to every soldier...... They all resisted desperately. ”

"The gods and demons are fighting the demon king. ”

"We also fended off every monster, corpses were everywhere, and one companion after another died. We were talking and laughing together last night, and today we collapsed. As long as there is a breath, you will drag the youkai to die together. The old man's eyes were slightly moist, and he smiled, "The eyes of the killer are red, when you find that there are no monsters around, but there are few companions around who can stand." ”

"We survived the support of other gods and demons, and finally held the Qinyang Pass. The disabled old man smiled, "We saved the lives of tens of millions of people in the area around Dongning Mansion, and at that time, of the 20,000 soldiers there, only 1,633 were alive. Of the five gods and demons guarding Qinyang Pass at that time, only two were left alive. ”

"Why are we all desperate, we don't want to run away when we are desperate. It's because I don't want to be slaughtered, I don't want my family and my children to be slaughtered...... I hope they can practice in peace, drink in a big bowl, and brag about their skins. I hope they can also ask their daughter-in-law to have children in the future......" The disabled old man smiled, "I, ah, come out every day to see." Looking at the hometown people on this street, I thought of the companions who fell one by one, and everyone's death was worth it. ”

"I am lucky that out of 20,000 brothers and sisters, 1,633 survived. I survived, I could eat meat buns, I could drink wine, I could fish, I could smoke a dry tobacco...... Ha ha...... How happy. The disabled old man smiled.

Meng Chuan listened silently.

The confusion in his heart was gone.

Some so-called miserable families, compared with the elderly, are really ridiculous.

For example, Hongyu's sister and brother are in their family, Hongyu works as a maid in a big family, and they can earn money to support their families. Who can blame her father for his bad gambling and debts? He said that he was deceived? And if he didn't say this, he might have coaxed his son, and he couldn't even read the debt slip clearly, so who could blame him?

"There are a thousand kinds of people. ”

"There are those who are willing to fall. ”

"Some people, even in the abyss, still have a big smile. ”

"And the vast majority of people ......," Meng Chuan also looked at the street vendors, "they are all full of anticipation and running for life." ”

......

Meng Chuan returned home, had lunch, and came to the study.

Unfolding the scroll, Meng Chuan began to paint.

He had so much in mind that he wanted to draw.

He first painted one of the places in Dongning Province......

......

From this day on, Meng Chuan spent the rest of his day painting except for his normal cultivation.

Painted day by day.

The painting also lasted for more than four months, from summer to autumn, and finally came to an end when the autumn leaves turned yellow and began to fall.

It is a huge scroll painting, eight meters long.

The left half of the entire scroll is an ancient city, Dongning Fu City.

The most conspicuous thing is one of the luxurious mansions, the 'Ancestral Mansion of the Meng Family', in which an old woman on crutches stands there, her whole body shining brightly, and her majesty is terrifying. On the side were a large number of clansmen such as the patriarch, the three elders, and Meng Dajiang, and Meng Chuan seriously painted dozens of people. The rest of the clan used some illusions.

Outside the ancestral house of the Meng family.

It is Liu Chang, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang who bows respectfully, Meng Chuan has never seen Liu Chang, but there is a portrait in the file. Meng Chuan exaggerated, and the painted Liu Chang was stronger and more fierce, but in front of the Meng family's ancestral house, Liu Chang was extremely respectful and flattering.

Behind Liu Chang, there was 'Zhou He' who bowed even more, and Zhou He even showed a flattering smile to Liu Chang, and the smiling face was drawn very carefully.

Behind Zhou He are the cautious and timid Hongyu and Tiesheng sisters and brothers.

Then there are group portraits of the entire Dongning Mansion City.

There are several poor women who were forced to sell themselves by their families, crying and walking towards the idle stone garden;

There are also dozens of people who work hard and hard, and some of them even have broken arms and are disabled and work with one hand;

There are also restaurants, teahouses, noodle restaurants and other customers of various terrains, roadside vendors, pedestrians, as well as bad gamblers and ruffians...... Of course, there is also the disabled old man with a broken arm and leg by the river, who has a fishing rod next to him, smoking a dry cigarette, smiling and looking at the street next to him, and also looking at the far right of the whole picture scroll.

Ordinary people in the entire Dongning City, Meng Chuan painted hundreds of people out.

The focus is on the Taoist Temple.

In a Taoist courtyard painted by Meng Chuan, there are children, teenagers, and young people, all working hard to cultivate, and there is also the dean Ge Yu drinking and giving advice. The temple is on the far left of Dongning City, and the sun rises next to it. This group of Taoist disciples is the rising sun of the entire Dongning City and the hope of Dongning City.

However, on the far right of the entire city of Dongning, outside the city,

Outside the city, a group of young people dressed in Taoist clothes...... Under the watchful eyes of a group of parents and family members, they left Dongning City and went to another place.

The far right of the entire portrait.

It was a blood-stained border pass.

There are gods and demons and demon kings fighting, the gods and demons are 'Meng Xiangu', and the demon king is also a snake demon king flying high in the sky.

At the border gate, countless soldiers are fighting with the monsters.

Most of these soldiers are sketchy, but some of them have careful faces.

For example, among the soldiers, there are father Meng Dajiang, dean Ge Yu, patriarch, three elders, Yun Fu'an, Liu Chang, and Zhou He...... Although these people have different identities in Dongning Mansion City, they all once had a common identity - Terran soldiers who fought with monsters!

"Alright. Meng Chuan drew the last figure, the warrior who still plunged his sword into the monster's head with his broken arm, and the disabled old man who died in battle, his eyes were staring at the monster, and he seemed to be looking at the far left of the entire scroll, looking at the peaceful city of Dongning.

The whole picture scroll draws a lot of what Meng Chuan wants to express.

Like the leader of the Black Wolf Gang, 'Liu Chang', he is afraid of the gods and demons family, but he also makes some wealthy businessmen fear.

Zhou He commanded with arrogance, and there were a group of servants under his command, but he also had many fears.

Meng Dajiang has a high status, but he has also fought a bloody battle at the border for ten years.

Gods and demons are high above and are the backbone of the human race.

They need to shelter the whole Terran.

And on the entire map, there are many ordinary people of all kinds, and those idle stone garden women are just a handful of countless ordinary people. Although these ordinary people are weak, they are the largest number on the picture scroll, they are protected by gods and demons, but they are the foundation of the human race. Countless ordinary people can give birth to gods and demons from generation to generation. In this way, the human race will not end.

The whole painting depicts the three religions and nine manifolds.

It draws the tip of the iceberg of the human race, but also shows the reason why the human race has survived to this day.

In the upper right corner of the entire picture scroll, Meng Chuan wrote three words - "The Appearance of All Beings".

Beings.

There are many people here, Meng Xiangu, Meng Dajiang, the three elders, Liu Chang, Zhou He, the disabled elderly, Ge Yu, and so on...... These characters are them, and they are not.

"It's done. Meng Chuan sat on the chair and only felt extremely satisfied.

Since childhood, he loved to draw.

It is because he likes to observe the world, likes to use the pen to record what he observes, in the early days he painted the outside, painting vividly, and later when he was "Horse Picture", he gradually painted Shen Yun, and the horses seemed to be alive. Therefore, people who don't know how to paint, they are shocked when they see these paintings, and they are willing to buy them at a high price.

And to this day...... He went to another level.

Draw your own 'heart'!

Draw the strong emotions in your heart and integrate them into the painting. At the moment of drawing, I felt a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

"All beings. Meng Chuan closed his eyes and smiled.

The tremendous satisfaction in his heart made his mind dizzy.

He didn't know.

In the sea of his eyebrows.

A vague humanoid soul is gradually condensing, and in the process of painting the painting of 'Faces of All Beings' for more than four months, this humanoid soul is gradually blooming with spiritual light. The soul of this humanoid form is constantly condensed, and when it is drawn, the soul has a great sense of perfection. This humanoid soul has finally accumulated to the extreme, and it has completely condensed and revealed its true appearance.

At this moment, Meng Chuan also felt dizzy in his head.

Then he 'saw' it, as if he was cultivating True Qi and looking inside. His consciousness 'saw' a vast void space at the center of his eyebrows, and a figure was standing in this space, which was his own appearance.
