Chapter 36: Painting I
Yancheng, Yancheng under Qingfeng Mountain.
Aomine faction......
If that "Xu Gongzi" is from the Qingfeng faction, wouldn't it mean that the Qingfeng faction also knows the "Grandmaster's Secret" mastered by the Wu family?
Thinking of the strong strength of the Qingfeng faction, Wu Yuexin only felt flustered.
However, how could the Qingfeng faction know? This matter was a top secret in the Wu Mansion, and only a very few people in the family knew about it, and the Lu family and the Huang family might have noticed it, or because the heads of the several families were too familiar with each other.
What if the Lu and Huang families leaked their secrets to the Qingfeng faction?
Thinking of this possibility, Wu Yuexin couldn't help but feel a tyrannical resentment in his heart, they idiots, don't they know that compared to the three of them, the Qingfeng faction is a fierce tiger that can eat them to the skin?
Wrong!
He quickly rejected this idea, because it was said that "Xu Gongzi" got everything in the end, and if the Qingfeng faction knew this secret, why didn't they use it themselves?
Moreover, there is also the most critical link in this, the Jianghu pawnshop, which is completely uncontrollable - if the Qingfeng faction can get through this link, there will not be only two grandmasters over the years.
The Lu and Huang families should not be so short-sighted......
However, this does not mean that there is no other connection between them and the Qingfeng faction, if the two families catch up with the relationship of the Qingfeng faction, this will definitely affect the existing pattern, and it must be a situation that the Wu family is unwilling to see!
Or even more serious than this, it was the Lu and Huang families who were actively contacted by the Qingfeng faction......
Thinking of this, Wu Yuexin couldn't sit still any longer, confessed to Mrs. Song, left two hundred taels of silver for tea, and left Baihuaxuan in a hurry.
Mrs. Song casually put away the silver ticket, and as night fell, Baihuaxuan entered the busiest period, and she began to be busy for a moment.
At the same time, after Xu Mo had eaten, he asked everyone not to disturb him for the reason of recuperation, returned to his small courtyard, closed the door, and the rest was completely his own time and space.
Then, he began his second cultivation of the Mirage Starry Sky Divine Mountain Diagram.
Once again, I was immersed in the observation of Mount Kinabalu, and in the blink of an eye, it was already dark outside.
In one night, he naturally observed a lot of content, but compared to the height of the sacred mountain, the progress was still extremely slow, so he had to speed up!
Until there is no better way, the only way to speed up is to increase the time, so the only way to use the time of the day is to use it.
Speaking of which, he put the exploration of the mirage at night, one is quiet at night, not easy to be disturbed by people and things from the outside world, and the other is also the time that subconsciously chooses the time corresponding to the mirage, but it is still in the stage of exploration, there is no need to be a period of time that is completely undisturbed and interrupted, using all the time to advance is what is needed at the moment, and he has had the experience of visualizing the black toad diagram, and the method of shallow visualization is just suitable for daytime use- It can only be used in this way, just now he observed a little bit of it, realized this and came to his senses, and the time had already passed two hours!
He is injured now, but he doesn't want to miss meals and medicine because of this incident, and make himself even more weak.
When it comes to focusing on one thing, time always flies, and in the blink of an eye it's the third day.
Another morning passed, Xu Mo took advantage of the time to take a walk after dinner to eat, carefully recalled the results of yesterday's day and this morning's research on the mirage map with shallow thoughts, and found that the speed is slow, and the memory is still a little blurry, and he has to endure a certain degree of headache, these may be because he is not proficient, but he should still find a more appropriate way.
He felt it might be better to draw them.
In his previous life, not to mention before he got sick, because he had to fight for survival and career, he had no time and interest in all kinds of art, and he had a lot of time after his illness, in addition to traveling everywhere, his eyes saw a lot of beautiful scenery, which made him interested in painting. Painting the beautiful scenery in my heart on paper not only has a higher level of enjoyment, but also shows that the shape and spirit of the scenery have been incorporated into my heart.
Therefore, the study of mirages by painting is definitely more advanced than simple observation, and more importantly, the integration of mind and hand, during the daytime, the speed and quality will be improved.
In order to make the light better and not affected by the wind, he moved the table to the window, and then he washed and stood in front of the table with a pen in his hand, ready to draw the part he observed on the first night.
This part has been clearly engraved in his brain, and with his skill, he should be very skilled in presenting them on paper, but it is as if he forgot to write at a certain moment, and it is clear that every stone and plant of that mountain is very clear in his heart, but he is stunned and unable to put pen to paper.
It may be that everything is difficult at the beginning, or it may be that the composition ideas are not clear, and he has not started writing for so long, and it is inevitable that his hands will be born, so he first took his own small courtyard to practice brushing, and after drawing a few pictures, he gradually found some feelings, and he also had a draft of the painting method about the mountain.
He compared his hand on the paper, moved his wrist, and then he took a deep breath, picked up the pen and drew the first stroke on the paper, unlike just now, at this time the mountain seemed to come to life, all kinds of thoughts and feelings came to him, so that he seemed to see the brilliance and the changes.
I don't know how long it took, but the chill on his body made him feel excited, and he woke up to find that the sun had run to the west, and the light in the room had dimmed, but there were only ink spots falling from the tip of the pen on the paper......
The next day, Ma Changlu, who rushed back from Shengyun Mansion overnight, told Xu Mo that he had negotiated the conditions with Baihuaxuan according to his requirements, and that he could send someone over at the beginning of next month, that is, the day after tomorrow.
Because he had to make all kinds of preparations in the past, Xu Mo took advantage of the morning meal time to call Ma Sheng to him, asked him if he had any questions he didn't understand and what he needed, and then told him the precautions he thought of one by one.
After instructing Ma Sheng, Fang Dongming, who was so excited that he had almost not slept all night, rushed over again, and after pouring a large bowl of fragrant millet porridge, he told Xu Mo about the Qingfeng faction's agreement to branch on the mountain.
In the end, it mattered, this time not only agreed to open a branch on the mountain, but also sent a storage house that is not commonly used, which has a ready-made two-story building, that is, the location is more partial, a little far away from the usual place where the disciples stay and eat, but this feature can sometimes become an advantage in some aspects, not to mention, it is between the martial arts training ground and the library building next to the Sun Yao Peak, and the overall location is also good.
The "approval" and site selection were completed so quickly, and there was a ready-made house, which could save a sum of money, Xu Mo was also happy, he planned to wait for it to be seen, and then put it to Fang Dongming after making the design, anyway, the personnel had already been selected, and when the time came, it would be completed, and his main focus now was still on studying the mirage map, so after sending Fang Dongming away, he returned to his small courtyard without stopping.
This time, he learned the lesson of yesterday afternoon, peeled off the mountain alone, pondered it in his heart, stopped thinking about it, and then started painting directly.
However, as soon as the pen fell, the mountain stirred his heartstrings, and the two seemed to resonate, and then the light in front of his eyes, the wind and clouds changed, and it was the body's gradually rising body temperature that woke him up, and the time was already noon!
Xu Mo dropped his pen and couldn't help but curse, what the hell is this?
The morning's time was wasted again, except for a single ink spot, there was still nothing left on the paper!
However, his body was still in a state of weakness, and no matter how angry he was, he had to eat, so he simply turned around and walked directly to the front home.
Fortunately, food can soothe people's souls the most, plus he has been cultivating for four days, with the good medicine of "Leopard Zhi Huyuan Dan", his body has recovered well, his appetite has recovered seventy or eighty percent, and his mood has calmed down after eating.
Xu Mo carefully analyzed the process of two failed paintings, and found that he had become accustomed to painting to have the form and spirit, so he would fall into it unconsciously.
Now the first thing to do is to draw them!
Back in his small courtyard, Xu Mo practiced the wood-chopping knife technique for a while, moved his body, emptied his brain, and then stood in front of the table again, this time he simply didn't think about it at all, and directly "hung" the mountain in his mind as a copy.
With the pen and the outline of the overall shape, the mountain couldn't help but "live" in his mind again, but this time he was already prepared, and directly stopped this thought, but "looked" while drawing, and the content on the paper gradually increased.
It seems to work!
Xu Mo held back the excitement in his heart, controlled the stability of his hand, continued to put down the pen, filled in the content, and almost let it "live" a few times in the middle, and he found it out in time.
The first thing I observed after deciding to study the mirage map was this mountain, although it was not painted yesterday afternoon and this morning, my impression of it was further deepened, so Xu Mo was most familiar with it, and it was naturally very smooth to copy it as a painting.
It only took an hour for Xu Mo to paint it completely.
Looking at the painting on the paper that was almost the same as the original, he couldn't help but wave his fist vigorously, and this first step finally came out!
Based on this experience, it takes less time and is more flexible, and he is basically sure that he can do it in the future.
However, at the moment when he was slightly distracted, the ink marks on the paper faded and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye from the place where the pen had begun to fall, and in the blink of an eye, the freshly drawn painting disappeared from the paper in front of his eyes, and even the paper on which he was painted dissipated into the air like a very fine foam after the wind blew, as if it had never existed.
