"The master said that I have only started to cultivate my mind now, and the first thing I need to do is to understand the nature of heaven and earth, and in addition to practicing the exercises every day, I should also find something that can make me focus, such as practicing swords, carving, reading sage books, writing, and of course, painting is also among them. Ning Hanlu explained to Du Ziyuan.

"Really?" Du Ziyuan had heard of this kind of thing for the first time. He doesn't have a master, his cultivation is all on his own, and the operation of the exercises is systematically guided, and he doesn't worry about going mad, but he doesn't know anything about other aspects. It turned out that painting could also speed up his cultivation, but he didn't feel much of it.

[By the way, the main purpose of cultivating the mind is to perceive nature, if you are like an artist to integrate your own ideological conception into the painting, it is indeed possible to improve the spiritual power, but my paintings are all types of craftsmanship, and it is not the content that I came up with, and it is natural if it has no effect. Du Ziyuan guessed.

Thinking of this, he said to Ning Hanlu: "If you want to paint, then I'll go and find you a painting master to teach you, you learning my painting won't help your cultivation." ”

"Why? I think you're much better than those masters, and your paintings are much better than their ink paintings. Ning Hanlu was puzzled.

Du Ziyuan said to her seriously: "Listen to Lu'er, I don't paint ink painting not because I don't think ink painting is good, but because it is too profound, even the gods in the sky dare not say that they thoroughly understand the way of ink painting, I don't have the ability to draw good ink paintings, so I found another way, I just took the lead in the style of painting, if I really want to paint, ink painting can also be very beautiful." ”

"Really?" Ning Hanlu was a little unconvinced.

"Then let's give it a try. Du Ziyuan took her back to the house.

"Little Kim, help me bring the brush and paper. ”

"Oh, here we are. Xiao Jin, who was reading the comics, immediately took out all Du Ziyuan's painting tools and took the initiative to help him study ink. These were all sent by Pei Mingyang when he settled the manuscript fee last month, and a set cost almost 1,000 taels of gold.

Taking advantage of her time to study ink, Du Ziyuan opened the fan store and chose the "Elementary Ink Painting Tutorial".

"If the exchange is successful, 100,000 fans and 5,000 taels of gold will be deducted. ”

Du Ziyuan only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and after it became clear again, he had appeared in a pure white room. There was a table in the room, and it was full of the tools needed to paint ink paintings, and the ink had already been sharpened.

Immediately after, he found that his hand actually moved involuntarily. I picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and began to draw.

He first drew a mountain, saying that it was a mountain, but in fact, it was just an arc drawn with one stroke. But the control of the force makes the color level change, and this simple arc really looks like a mountain at first glance.

This is followed by water, flowers, birds, insects, and fish...... Draw the past one by one. Although they were all involuntary, Du Ziyuan remembered these actions. After one round of drawing, another round, round after round, until Du Ziyuan found that he had regained control of his body but was still able to draw these pictures.

When he met the teaching requirements, his body was controlled again. This time, he changed to a thin pen and began to draw flowers and birds. Unlike the previous ones, this time he painted extremely finely, and every petal and feather was painted vividly.

He knew in his heart that he had learned freehand painting before, but this time he learned gongbi painting. What he wanted was the skill of gongbi painting, which was more suitable for storytelling comics than freehand painting.

After learning both painting methods, Du Ziyuan's eyes bloomed again, and he returned to his home. On the side, Xiao Jin was still studying ink, and Ning Hanlu was looking at him expectantly, and time didn't seem to pass at all.

The beginner course teaches two ways to draw, and the others, such as splashed ink painting, are not included. Du Ziyuan is quite satisfied with the effect of the tutorial, at least his current ink painting skills are enough to meet his painting needs.

After Xiaojin polished the ink, he began his own creation. After the first lesson, he now writes incredibly smoothly, with thin lines being sketched and outlines appearing and he begins to fill in the details. The cultivation of the third floor of the Cultivation Realm combined with the fourth-order physique of the Upper Forging Body Realm made him write like the wind, and in just an hour, a delicate figure jumped on the paper.

Ning Hanlu watched the whole painting gradually take shape from the side, and his mouth had already opened into an O-shape. Although there are only two colors, black and white, Du Ziyuan's paintings are completely different from her previous impressions. There is no doubt that the person in the painting is her, because it is too similar, but it is different from the image recorded by Lingguangyu, and it is still recognizable that this is a painting.

"Can an ink painting also paint like this?" Ning Hanlu was so shocked that she didn't know how to express it, Du Ziyuan's painting completely broke her previous perception of ink painting.

Beautiful, dignified, and antique, it has all the charm of ink painting, but it is better than ordinary ink painting.

"It's ok. Du Ziyuan shook his wrist, satisfied that he was able to reproduce the picture in his mind.

In that dream, the painting method of combining gongbi painting and comics has already appeared, and can be seen in works such as "Long Song Xing" and "Nanyanzhai Records", and even on the covers of some online novels. Du Ziyuan had a general impression of the painting style in his mind, and then combined with the gongbi painting skills he had just learned, it was not difficult to copy Ning Hanlu.

Ning Hanlu, who came back to his senses, suddenly grabbed his hand and begged: "Teacher Shanfeng, I want to learn this! You teach me well, please." ”

Du Ziyuan said: "I said it all, you can't learn to paint with me." ”

"Just teach me. Ning Hanlu looked at him pitifully, her eyes were already a little moist, as if she was ready to cry to him at any time.

Du Ziyuan can't help her, who can refuse the request of an 11-year-old good-looking young girl? The key is that the other party is still his female fan.

"Then let's do it, you will be my assistant for a period of time during this time, if you behave well, I will mention it to your master next time he comes, and I will teach you if he agrees. In the end, he chose a compromise.

"Okay!Okay!Thank you, Mr. Shanfeng!" Ning Hanlu immediately smiled happily.

"Oh, and also, don't use my pen name anymore!"

"Ah...... Oh, then I'll call you Sensei. ”

"Call brother. ”

"Okay, senior brother. ”

“......”

Du Ziyuan accepted her as an assistant on a whim, he actually had this plan for a long time......
