Chapter 15: The Three Sacred Walls
Take a closer look, under the city, there is a long dragon, with no beginning and no end, winding and undulating.
"Could it be that this is the so-called Northern Theocracy?" Liu Sheng thought secretly in his heart, and sped up.
When I finally got closer, I saw that the whole city was also as quiet as ruins. In many places, the walls have been destroyed.
I can only see that there are still the words of Luoyang City God hanging at the city gate.
The entrance to the city gate, which is empty and dead. There are also countless ghosts, floating inside and out.
Beibei Theocracy, Luoyang City God......
Liu Sheng thought in his heart, and continued to move forward quietly. I finally saw the light.
But among the huge ruins of the city, a few places are still lit.
However, the seal of the capital of the north did not lead Liu Shengzhi into the city. Rather, it raged shoulders.
Faintly visible, in the midst of light, there was a towering spire building with a huge cross on it.
In the distance, the bells of Buddhist temples seem to be faintly floating.
Beibi ruled the capital of Gongyin, and then walked with Liu Shengzhi. But they came to a valley, pavilions, and countless pavilions. But it is also a ruin of countless ruins, but on a mountain rock, there is a faint red light.
Where the light shrouded, all the ghosts did not dare to approach.
Liu Shengzhi whispered "Huh" and walked over. But I saw a ruined mural.
He originally thought to himself, how could this mural be preserved until now, and it was still in this abandoned spiritual realm?
But I saw it on the mural. A few immortals with fluttering sleeves seemed to be walking.
At a glance, the characters in the painting actually seem to be alive, walking in the painting.
Liu Shengzhi was taken aback. If you look closely, you can see that the ink lines of the sleeve ribbons, the folds of the clothes, the tassels of the flags, etc., are staggered and swirled to achieve a harmonious interest and walking dynamics. Let the characters in the painting seem to be really walking!
This made Liu Shengzhi even more surprised, which national player painted this mural?
"It's about a portrait before the Yuan Dynasty," Liu Shengzhi vaguely guessed. This style of painting is exquisite. It's not something that can be possessed by that kind of freehand painting after the Yuan Dynasty.
Liu Shengzhi remembers when he was in school. A certain lecturer said it. Regardless of the East and the West, after the realism comes to an end, the style of painting will change.
It's like Western oil painting, that kind of realistic technique. It can almost be similar to a photo. Almost brought the painting to a dead end. After all, no matter how high the realism technique is, there is always a photo instead.
At this time, Van Gogh, Picasso and others began to come into being. Introduce painting into the artistic category of impression, abstraction, and so on.
And in ancient times, on the occasion of the Song and Yuan dynasties. Classical painting has also begun to change from realism to freehand, plantain in the snow. On a cloud.
But they are all slowly detached from the body and begin to pay attention to things other than the concrete.
And the mural in front of Liu Shengzhi is vivid. But there is a visible God in it. That is the handiwork of the national handicraft!
Liu Shengzhi just glanced at it twice, and felt that the immortals in the painting were alive from the flowing clouds, walking down and appearing in front of him.
This shock is incomparable!
“...... The painter looks at the seniors. Wu Shengyuan is good at the field. Senluo moves the earth's axis, and moves the official wall wonderfully. Five Sacred Alliances Dragongon...... Is this Du Fu's poem? Could it be that this is a mural? It is the legend that Wu Daozi painted the statue of the Five Saints and Thousand Officials in Beibi Mountain!"
Liu Sheng's heart was for a while, and he sighed unconsciously.
It is no wonder that after the wars of various dynasties and generations, all the carved buildings have been annihilated. Only such a divine work is immortal, and it is still imprinted in the depths of this spiritual realm.
The reason why Liu Shengzhi still has some impressions of this picture is mainly from a well-known allusion in the Tang Dynasty.
In Kaiyuan, Tang Xuanzong patrolled Luoyang, and Wu Daozi followed. Wu Daozi is known as the saint of painting, but he met Zhang Xu, known as the grass saint, and General Pei Ming, known as the sword saint, here.
On the occasion of General Pei's mother's funeral, he begged Wu Daozi to paint a few Buddha murals in the corridor of the Shangqing Palace, praying for his mother's blessing and promising generous gifts.
Wu Daozi said that the teacher Zhang Xu watched Gongsun Auntie dance the sword and realized the calligraphy, and now the cursive script is like a dragon, and the changes are endless. I have been painting for a long time, and if the general wants to, he does not need to be rewarded, just dance the sword before I paint, so that I can be inspired. Pei Ming immediately agreed
On the day of painting, the Shangqing Palace was crowded. On the open field in front of the palace, General Pei stopped in costume and performed a sword dance in public. I saw the sword flashing, like lightning and thunder, and the sword was swirling left and right in the air, and it was superb. Suddenly, the general threw the sword into the sky, dozens of feet high, and landed like lightning and stone fire, only to see him raise the scabbard, impartially take the sword into the sheath, for a time the joy thundered, the applause was shocking for a long time. Wu Daozi saw the general's heroic sword dance, and was inspired for a while, and immediately painted, "The wind rises, and it is magnificent in the world." Zhang Xu, who was standing on the sidelines and watching the painting, was so drunk that he took the brush in Wu Daozi's hand and wrote down the cursive script on the wall.
On that day, the onlookers were extremely happy, and within one day, the three uniques came together, leaving an immortal legend.
It's just a pity that that section of the ruins was destroyed by Japanese bombs during the war of aggression against China......
Now, what I see in front of me must be the statue of the five saints and thousands of officials!
No wonder, between these lines, so agile and flying, with a bit of sharpness. It must have been Wu Daozi's gratitude for the sword qi at that time, and he involuntarily brought a bit of sword qi between the strokes.
Sincerely bowed a few times before the mural. Liu Shengzhi retreated a few steps and walked a few more steps, and then walked towards the place where the Gongyin of the Northern Zhidu was directed.
However, to Liu Shengzhi's surprise, although he was already far away from the mural. But when he closed his eyes slightly, the scene in the painting still appeared unconsciously in front of him, as if all those immortals appeared in front of him.
I don't know how long I left this place. Suddenly the eyes opened.
But under the dim and bleak sky, the great river rushed by.
The terrain on both sides of the strait is flat, and the river is flat. But right in front of me, on the bank of the big river, a mountain was raised.
Although this mountain is not very high, it is like a long dragon undulating, and the weather is myriad. There are green pines on it, and there are layers of ancient and majestic buildings.
Liu Shengzhi looked back, and the city god he saw at the beginning, and the blessed land he saw later, were all gone. Only in sight, this is much more ancient everything.
He suddenly realized that this was the location of the Northern Theocracy.
Liu Sheng's heart moved, and he realized.
In the past, the five buckets of rice were also called ghost roads. Twenty-four theocracy, also known as ghost rule.
But it is those twenty-four places, each of which has a place to establish a government and a secretary, and not only rules the people of the world. It is the ghosts of the underworld, but it is also ruled by it. (To be continued)
