Chapter 260: Disappointing Results
Liu Cheng was locked up in this small courtyard, he was not tortured, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation were still decent, but Mo He was sure of one thing, that is, the strength in his body must have been limited.
But even if it was the limited power, when Liu Wei picked up the painting he had just completed, he looked at the ghosts of different shapes on the painting, one by one, with teeth and claws, lifelike.
The look on each ghost's face is different, whether it is painful and hideous, or cruel and bloodthirsty, or paranoid and twisted, or jealous and crazy.
A "Ghost Picture", on which the ghosts seem to have painted all the negative emotions in the world, melt them into paper, and express them through these ghosts.
"Please take a look at it with Your Majesty and this Mo Xiaoyou, and see how this painting of mine is?" The painting, which was more than five meters long, was held in Liu Wei's hand, and the ends still fell to the ground, but he didn't care about it, just looked at Xia Xian and Mo He with a smile and said.
"Mr.'s painting skills are well-known in the whole human race, and the level of this painting is naturally needless to say, but the artistic conception in this painting makes people a little unbelievable that this painting is from the hand of Mr. Xia Xian said to Liu Rong.
The ghosts on the painting, as if they were about to break out of the paper, rushed out with teeth and claws, Liu Wei's superb painting skills made the painting lifelike, but it also made the painting look even more weird and ominous.
"What does Mo Xiaoyou think?" Liu Wei asked, when he heard this, his eyes fell on Mo He's body again.
"Mr. Liu's painting skills are superb, in the next casual practice, I have not seen many famous paintings, Mr. This painting, in all the paintings I have seen, is definitely the highest level of the batch, if I want to describe, I can only say that Mr. skills are almost Tao!" Mo He looked at this painting, whether it was from the painting itself, this is the person who painted this painting, Mo He gave a very high evaluation.
The content of this painting is really a bit too evil, and now it is just an ordinary painting, but those ghosts that represent different negative emotions make this painting a very good ghost cultivator as long as it is refined a little.
"Your Majesty and Xiaoyou have won the award, but I think that this painting is not very good, after all, my painting skills are still the end, I originally wanted to paint the evil of human nature, but in the end it only turned into such a specious thing. Liu Wei also looked down at the painting in his hand, looked at the ghostly images with different emotions on the painting, and shook his head lightly.
After speaking, he spread the painting flat on the ground, then leaned down, grabbed one end of the painting, slowly rolled it up, and then stood up and came to Xia Xian, holding the scroll in both hands.
"Your Majesty and I have been with me for many years, after tonight, it should be the time of separation, at the time of parting, there is no long thing, and finally this "ghost picture", I will give it to Your Majesty as a souvenir. Liu Wei looked at Xia Xian and said with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing the scene in front of him, if he hadn't known what the relationship between the two was, Mo He felt that these two people were masters and apprentices or close friends, and they would normally give a parting gift.
Not paying attention to Mo He's gaze on the side, Xia Xian looked at the scroll handed to him, was silent for a few breaths, and then reached out to catch it.
"I've been with Mr. for so many years, and it's the first time I've gotten a painting from Mr., although Mr.'s painting is good, but it's not what Mr. likes, but since it's a gift from Mr., I'll collect it well, however, it's a parting gift, I'm afraid it's still a little too early. ”
Hearing this, Liu Wei nodded with a smile on his face, "That's right, there should be a while, but I don't know if it's tomorrow, or three days later, or five days later, I guess it won't be too long." ”
"Tomorrow!" Xia Xian said expressionlessly.
"Then there are still a few hours, if Your Majesty is not in a hurry on official business, would you like to wait for these hours with me to see what the final result will be?" After Liu Yu finished speaking, he turned to look at Mo He on the side.
"Seeing Mo Xiaoyou here, I was a little inconsiderate before, Xiaoyou, please take a seat. While talking to Mo He, Liu Wei turned around and walked into the room, brought out a set of tea sets, and then beckoned Mo He to sit down.
"Sit down, you and Gu stay here, after dawn, maybe there is something you need to do. Hearing Liu Wei's greeting, Mo He didn't react, so Xia Xian immediately spoke, and at the same time walked to the table and sat down.
"Oh, I don't know what's the matter with Your Majesty!" Mo He also walked to the table and sat down, and asked at the same time.
Mo He is not Xia Xian's subordinate, and he also refused Xia Xian's solicitation before, so what does Xia Xian want Mo He to do, Mo He has to ask clearly, if it is something he doesn't want to do, then Mo He will not accept it, even if it is something he doesn't dislike, he will not do it because of Xia Xian's order, otherwise what is the difference between it and letting him send it.
"It's about your friend, if you want to save your friend, then you have to do it, let the others who are lonely rest assured, and lonely have other arrangements. Xia Xian didn't explain directly, but he also opened his mouth to explain.
"It's been a long night, and I haven't played chess with Your Majesty for a long time, why don't you play a game at this time?" Liu Wei listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly spoke.
"No, I played a game before I came, and I'm not interested in it now, so let's talk about something else. Xia Xian shook his head and said.
"Others, that's only to talk about some ways of calligraphy and painting, Mo Xiaoyou is a cultivator, I'm afraid I don't have much interest in this. Liu Wei continued.
"Although Mr. Liu Wei said, although I am a mountain and field cultivator, but also read two books, although there is no research on the way of calligraphy and painting, but it is a long-term admiration, can have Mr. Liu Wei such a calligraphy and painting everyone to teach the way of calligraphy and painting, I really want to hear. Mo He said.
"Since Mo Xiaoyou is also interested, it would be the best, the so-called way of calligraphy and painting ......!" Liu Wei heard Mo He say this, so he immediately spoke.
The next content of the exchange between the three of them became the way of calligraphy and painting, during which Xia Xian sat there almost without saying a word, and his eyes never left Liu Wei.
On the contrary, Mo He was very relaxed, and when listening to Liu Wei explain the way of calligraphy and painting, he would ask questions from time to time, asking some questions that he didn't understand, just like a student who was really asking his predecessors for advice.
Liu Wei seems to have aroused more and more interest because of Mo He, and the explanation is getting deeper and deeper, and even involves a lot of specific painting techniques, when it comes to happy places, he will also reach out to dip a little water stain from the teacup and use his fingers to compare it on the table, so that Mo He can understand more clearly.
"That's pretty much it, other specific details, Mo Xiaoyou can learn by himself in the future, the main thing is to learn more diligently, observe carefully, not only to master the technique, but more importantly, it is still charm, can get its spirit, the way of calligraphy and painting can be regarded as the entry. After talking for a long time, Liu Wei finally stopped with some unfinished thoughts and instructed Mo He.
"Thank you Mr. Liu Wei for your advice, today's words have benefited me a lot. Mo He smiled and bowed, no matter what the other party's identity was, or what the purpose was, but what he said just now did make him learn a lot, and it was worth saluting him.
"It's okay, just talk about something, Your Majesty, the time should be almost up now, Your Majesty doesn't need to accompany me anymore, the result you have to wait for is almost here now, it's time to take a look." Liu Wei nodded at Mo He, and then turned his head to look at Xia Xian on the side.
"Indeed, the time will tell, whether the gentleman is dead or alive, will be known at once. Xia Xian stood up, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he took a deep look at Liu Wei's face, and then turned to leave.
Mo He also stood up and followed Xia Xian, and the two of them left the painting space together and returned to the room full of paintings and calligraphy outside.
Coming out of the space in the painting, Mo He can see that the sky outside has become a little lighter, and it will be bright in about an hour.
Xia Xian turned around, his body covered with a layer of golden light, and reached out to slowly remove the painting on the wall, and in the whole process, he behaved a little hard, as if he was holding an extremely heavy object.
"Sure enough, there is a forbidden law. Seeing the process of Xia Xian taking down this painting, Mo He secretly said in his heart.
Xia Xian took the painting down, and with a slight shake of his hand, the scroll was rolled together, and then he handed the painting to Mo He.
"Take it, your friend's life will be in your hands for the time being, if you don't hold it, then don't blame Lone!"
Taking a deep breath, Mo He grabbed the scroll in front of him, held it tightly in his hand, and nodded.
As early as when Xia Xian took him to see Liu Yuan, through the conversation between the two, Mo He had already guessed Xia Xian's intention to bring him over, and now that he handed over this painting to himself, Mo He was not surprised.
Although the painting is in his own hands, it does not mean that he is the only one who protects this painting, now that he is in the palace, there are a lot of guards around Emperor Xia Xian, and the person who controls the law of the dynasty Emperor Xia Xian is not a weak person, if he does not leave the palace, there will be no problem, these things Mo He understands in his heart.
Following Xia Xian, Mo He returned to the original palace, and not long after stepping into the palace, he saw two people wearing Taoist robes and having a fairy-like temperament walking in.
After seeing Xia Xian, the two of them first gave a salute at the same time, and then glanced at Mo He on the side.
"The two of you don't need to be polite, what was the result last night?" Xia Xian looked at the two of them and asked with a very calm face.
"Last night, the hidden rebel army of the former dynasty in the land of Sanzhou was leveled, although there were some clues, but no one was found, and when we returned, those ghost cultivators had already given an ultimatum, and after two hours at most, they wanted a clear answer. The two imperial worshippers with immortal temperaments spoke.
"Okay, Lone knows, the two worshippers have worked hard, go and rest first, and I won't have to trouble the two offerings for a while. Xia Xian didn't say anything about this disappointed result, and said to the two people in front of him as usual.
