In the face of the enthusiasm of the third prince Zhao Jing, Li Xiuyuan was only perfunctory, although he was a prince, but in his eyes he was not worthy of awe.

Because in his tiger diagram is a prince of the Great Song Kingdom.

Zhao Jing was enthusiastic and said: "Li Gongzi's painting skills are so superb, today's daughter wants to paint, it must be Li Gongzi, can you ask Li Gongzi to paint another picture, so that my father can see how miraculous this monk's finishing touch is to see how miraculous this monk's finishing touch is? If Li Gongzi's painting skills are buried."

No, then this is a loss for the Great Song Kingdom. ”

"My paintings are not worth mentioning. ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "Paintings that are close to ghosts and gods, if they are given to the official family, it will inevitably spoil the atmosphere of the court, and the first-class spell is easy to disgust the princes above the court

The painting just now is enough to make everyone happy, but it is really not suitable for showing in front of people. ”

"Li Gongzi's words are not right, if this kind of painting skills can't let my father and the emperor take a look, let the world know, then it's a pity in the literary world, please Li Gongzi don't shirk it, this prince really begs you a treasure. Zhao Jingdao.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said: "My painting can't be on the table, I can't convince the scholars, lest people think that I relied on magic to get the first place in illusion, I can privately send a painting to the three princes, as for the three princes, your daughter should be selected among these paintings,

In this way, we can convince the public and convince people. ”

"If the three princes agree, I will immediately make a painting, if the three princes insist on begging for a thousand gold, I will not accept it. ”

After speaking, he gave a salute, and his tone was very serious.

He accepted this gold to ask for paintings, and he was tied up by fame and fortune, but it was just a result he didn't want to see.

If you send a picture privately, it won't affect anything.

"This, this ......" Zhao Jing hesitated, a little hesitant.

In fact, for Li Xiuyuan's identity, even if his paintings are average, he will ask for a thousand dollars, not to mention that his paintings can be spiritual, I didn't expect that such a temptation of fame and fortune could not move him, it seems that this matter can't be so impatient, you have to slowly figure it out.

"Since Li Gongzi said so, what can't the prince agree to, just follow what Li Gongzi said, as long as I can ask for Li Gongzi's paintings, I will agree to whatever the conditions. Zhao Jing said politely.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "I don't know what the three princes are looking for? Is it a picture of landscapes, birds and beasts, or a picture of the scenery of the four seasons?"

Zhao Jingdao: "Li Gongzi, your painting can be spiritual, rare in the world, in the past, there was Zhang Seng Xiang to put the finishing touch, and today the prince has the courage to ask Li Gongzi for a picture of the nine days of dragon travel dedicated to his father." ”

"Painting dragons?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.

The prince begged for a dragon map, although this is not taboo, but it is also an opportunity to confide in his ambitions.

I also want to do my best to jump and become a true dragon emperor.

Li Xiuyuan pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Although it is not difficult to draw the dragon tour for nine days, it is difficult to put the finishing touch on it, if the eyes are painted, the real dragon will definitely break free from the picture and rush to the sky, and travel to the vicissitudes of life

The eyes will still break free from the stone wall and be trapped, let alone a thin piece of rice paper. ”

Zhao Jingdao: "Then can you not draw your eyes first?"

"Naturally, it's okay, but the dragon has no eyes, is it still a dragon?" Li Xiuyuan said: "It's better to repaint something else, such as a tiger and leopard, a white deer, a golden rooster and the like." ”

The implication is that you Zhao Jing can't be a dragon, be a prince, be peaceful, and be rich is also good.

"Although there are many Rui beasts in the world, how can any Rui beast compare to the real dragon, please Li Gongzi write. Zhao Jing thought about it for a while, but decided to draw a dragon.

It's not a question of painting, it's a question of his determination.

If he didn't even have the determination to ask for a real dragon picture, then what kind of face did Zhao Jing have to solicit and win over Li Xiuyuan?

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Since the third prince insists on painting, then draw the dragon." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked over, spread out the rice paper, and the ink pen in his hand was already in his hand.

"I'm grinding ink for my husband. Zhao Jing hurriedly walked over and sharpened the ink for him.

Seeing this, Li Xiu did not refuse, but immediately dyed ink and painted, and in an instant, there were many clouds above the picture, as if it was sunny after the rain, the sun was falling, and everything was bathed in light, and what was shocking was that the clouds drawn in his hands were not dead, but shaking

It's like a real cloud floating in the air, moving slowly.

"It's moving, it's moving, the clouds are moving, it's really God. Zhang Bangchang exclaimed, and the small notebook in his hand was not idle, and such strange things were recorded in it.

The nearby scholars widened their eyes even more, and their hearts were both envious and adoring.

I can't wait to have this kind of skill for myself.

It's a pity that Li Xiuyuan painted in public, and he couldn't learn a little bit by watching from the sidelines.

In the same way, in other people's hands, the clouds can shake, the breeze blows, and the sun shines, but in their own hands, the clouds are still clouds, the wind does not see the wind, and they still look lifeless, and there is no such miracle.

I can't learn, I can't learn.

The scholars sighed with regret in their hearts.

After Li Xiuyuan finished drawing the sky, he drew the real dragon, and as his ink pen outlined, the dragon scales appeared, and in the blink of an eye, a real dragon shuttling through the clouds jumped on the paper.

"This dragon is alive, look, look, this dragon is flying through the clouds, and its body is about to fly. A gentleman next to him exclaimed.

In the clouds, the body of the real dragon swam, sometimes revealing its vigorous body, sometimes revealing its sharp dragon claws.

It's just that the dragon's head is not complete, and I can't see the dragon's demeanor.

But it is conceivable that if this dragon is extraordinary after the painting, it will definitely be able to shock the audience and amaze countless scholars.

Before the form, God has been obtained.

"In vain I have been learning painting for ten years, and today I only know the essence of this painting, the original painting skills have reached a certain height can really make dead things become living things, psychic and spiritual, I used to doubt the achievements of the ancients, it is really stupid. ”

"Isn't it? I used to hear that someone painted a cluster of peach blossoms in the spring, which attracted bees to stay and butterflies to stand, and at that time I only thought it was absurd, but now it seems that other people's painting skills have been psychic, so painting flowers has a fragrance, painting birds have bird calls, only hate me, the frog at the bottom of the well, can't see it

How wide is this day, and I missed the opportunity to meet that master. ”

"I can see the finishing touch today, and I have no regrets in this life. ”

Seeing the dragon on the rice paper gradually taking shape, the scholars watching were amazed and emotional, and some couldn't help but cry excitedly.

It's hard to believe this kind of thing if you don't see it with your own eyes, but once you see it with your own eyes, it's even more crazy.

Such a painting is not only worth thousands of gold, but it is impossible to ask for ten thousand gold.

"Shhh Someone booed.

Immediately, the presence instantly fell silent.

No one dared to disturb loudly, and those who were close directly held their breath, if there were scholars on the periphery looking and shouting and asking, they would immediately be killed by the eyes of others, and then obediently shut up.

This is the birth of a legend.

Today, Li Xiuyuan painted a real dragon on the shore of Longyin Lake, which must be famous through the ages, just like Wang Xizhi made an orchid pavilion preface after drinking, and Emperor Tang Ming wrote a song of neon clothes and feathers.

And they may not appear in the story, but to see such a legend in this life, future generations will be proud.

Wait for hundreds of years from now when the scholars will visit Longyin Lake to talk about today's story, if future generations are there, they will be able to proudly point to the shore of this lake and say to those scholars: My grandfather saw Li Xiuyuan painting a real dragon here.

Less.

Ninety percent of the dragon's head is painted, leaving only a pair of dragon eyes empty.

As soon as the painting stopped, the supernatural stopped.

The clouds are still clouds, the dragon is still the dragon, and the line does not move.

This is a flaw, and the flawed thing cannot be channeled.

"Why, why don't you draw it? Sir, please keep writing, this dragon is about to be finished." ”

Some people see that this painting is not painted again in the end, and their hearts are even more like a cat scratching, and they are very anxious, and they only hate that they don't have such skills, otherwise they will definitely rush up to grab the pen and continue.

"I can't paint anymore, after painting the eyes of this dragon, this dragon will really open its teeth and claws and tear open the painting and fly out of it, and when the time comes, the painting will be destroyed, and the real dragon will fly away, isn't it a pity?"

"Absolutely can't paint anymore, back then, someone didn't believe Zhang Seng Xuan, so he must draw the eyes of the dragon, but four dragons flew two dragons, and now this Li Gongzi only painted one, if he flies away, where to find?"

"yes, you can't draw. ”

The scholars would not do what such mediocre people do, and with the experience of Zhang Sengqiu, not only did they not ask Li Xiuyuan to draw his eyes, but prevented him from painting his eyes.

This shows that they are convinced that Li Xiuyuan's painting can communicate with the gods.

I was already very sure in my heart that as soon as this painting was completed, the dragon would fly away.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "The eyes still have to be painted, and when I painted before, I thought of a good note, neither worrying that the dragon would fly away, nor worrying that the eyes would not be painted and mutilated." ”

With that, he put pen to paper again.

But I saw this real dragon shuttling through the clouds, not with its teeth and claws, glaring at the world, but with its eyelids drooping, and it fell into a coma with its eyes closed.

But Rao's eyes are still painted.

The real dragon coiled around the sky, the clouds and mist were swirling between the breaths, the glow was ten thousand ways, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, which was endless.

"Oh my God, this dragon is sleeping, I hear it snoring. Someone almost bit his tongue and almost jumped up.

The people who are close can even hear the sound of the real dragon breathing clouds and mist, spitting out glow, and emitting wind and thunder, and it is really like a real dragon sleeping in front of him.
