【Chapter 179】Substitutions and comparisons

The butterfly that flew to pick flowers was actually Li Xiaochen who asked Sun Yingying to call someone to a nearby park to catch it in advance. Then choose the right time to release the butterflies. They will smell the scent of honey and fly to Li Xiaochen's paintings.

It's like magic, it's magical when you look at it. But once the modus operandi is revealed, people feel bored. It can be said that its charm lies in the mystery.

But Li Xiaochen will not rashly tell the whole inside story. Otherwise, how could he win this game? Let the magic blossom in the hearts of everyone, and only then can the realm of this painting be raised to a new level.

As for the rest of the techniques, I can talk about them.

For example, make the paper appear dynamic. Regarding this, Li Xiaochen made use of the tea he sprayed on the drawing paper.

Water is a substance that gradually evaporates. Li Xiaochen combined the knowledge he had hidden from his deep memories to create a pigment that could change color with different humidity in a short period of time. Of course, he had to add his own immortal arts and true elements to achieve the perfect effect.

In order to achieve the dynamic effect of layering and changing, more than a dozen overlapping sheets of paper also play a big role. Because color is a superimposed discoloration thing. After a specific treatment, it can produce a wonderful visual impact.

On the technical level, Li Xiaochen only explained slightly. If the elaboration is too deep, it will be incomprehensible.

All of his work, including his mastery of painting, was found in the memories of his second life. Qin Yufei's grief-stricken cry before actually awakened a few memories of his previous life. I don't know if this is a coincidence or intentional. But in any case, he successfully completed this amazing work, which opened his eyes.

After listening to Li Xiaochen's narration, Mayor Jiang couldn't help nodding: "I didn't expect Xiao Li to have such a deep study of painting." I've never seen anyone use painting techniques so well. What works in theory may not work in practice. And you did. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I definitely wouldn't have believed you could do that. Now, it's time to ask you, what does your painting have to do with 'immortals', and how does this explain what 'immortals' are?"

Li Xiaochen said: "Before I explain to you, I would like to tell you a story, a story about the Buddha Shakyamuni a long time ago, before he became a Buddha. ”

The original Shakyamuni Buddha had not yet completed his practice. He once practiced in a mountain forest outside the city, called "Endure Humiliation Immortals".

One day, the king of that era, King Gore, led his people to play here. The king had his officials rest and garrison at the foot of the mountain. He himself and his concubines and palace ladies hiked to the mountain. King Goreth was so tired that he fell asleep on the spot. The concubines and palace ladies he brought with him left him and went to pick flowers.

When they saw a Taoist sitting under the tree, they were very happy and came forward to salute. The Taoist prayed for them and sat them down. Speak for these women yourself.

When the king of Gori awoke, he did not see the daughters, so he went and searched for them. As a result, he found that all his concubines and palace maids were sitting in front of the Taoist. King Goli was very unhappy, and he became angry, so he asked the man why he seduced his concubine, why he meditated here, and who he was.

The Taoist said that he was a forbearance and humiliation immortal, and practiced forbearance and benevolence here.

King Gorei said disdainfully, "You said you practiced forbearance." I'm going to give it a try today. ”

King Goli drew his sword, cut off the two arms of the Taoist, and asked him who he was.

The Taoist replied that he was indeed a person who endured humiliation.

King Gorek cut off the ears and noses of the Taoists. The Taoist Dao's heart did not move at all, and he still replied that he was a person who endured humiliation.

When King Golly saw that his face did not change, and that he was indeed a great cultivator, he repented in front of the Taoists.

The Immortal said to King Gori, "Today, you cut off my body with a weapon because I have seduced a woman." But indeed I have no hatred in my heart, and I have no greed. ”

King Goreth asked how he could know that he was free from hatred and greed.

The Immortal made an oath and said, "If I really have no resentment, please restore my body to its original state immediately." ”

With that, his body immediately returned to its original form.

The immortal who endured humiliation said that he could endure humiliation and not move his Dao heart, and that he would attain equal enlightenment in the future, and that he would use all the great wisdom to cut off life and death for King Gori, and be free from suffering and happy.

After telling this story, Li Xiaochen said to everyone: "This is 'immortal'. The heart is full of compassion and love, and even in the face of those who harm him with disgust, instead of resentment, he can make a wish to help the other person. This is what I express in this painting. The Bodhisattva smiled and passed on his heart to his heart. The Tao is in a thought. One thought becomes an immortal, and one thought becomes a demon. Although I had the audacity to paint a bodhisattva with the appearance of my son, it conveyed my meaning that butterflies represent all beings. They like to pick flowers, and the Bodhisattva uses them to preach and normalize, so that they can be free from suffering and happy. That's the meaning of immortals. Bodhisattvas have no heart, and take the hearts of all beings as their hearts. Bodhisattvas have no thoughts, and they think of the thoughts of all beings. The ultimate of the immortal path is selflessness. The purpose of becoming an immortal is to serve the public and free all sentient beings from the sea of suffering. Just for oneself, where can one be considered an immortal? Many immortal cultivators do not understand this truth. So after cultivating for a lifetime, you can't become an immortal. Even if it can soar, the immortal world may not accept it. ”

Izumo Chiyuki pondered for a moment and sighed, "Your realm is indeed much higher than mine. In this game, I am willing to bow down. ”

Li Xiaochen said ashamedly: "I just talk about it, and I haven't really put it into action yet." Just now, when I heard Uchiko crying, I was very impulsive to duel with your Hattori Tenzo. Now that I think about it, I feel that my mind is still very immature. The immortal who endured humiliation suffered so much, and still did not have the heart to resent King Gori. This is a veritable true immortal. I am really ashamed of my little cultivation. ”

"The fact that you can say this shows that your horizons are wider than mine. In any case, I am 108,000 miles behind you in terms of mood. Izumo Chiyuki took the initiative to admit defeat and tore up everything she had drawn.

This answer made the immortal cultivators present fall into thought. Giving up oneself and perfecting others is the way of true immortals. Otherwise, they will fall into the evil immortals. It turns out that cultivating immortals is cultivating a heart. Immortal Dao Technique, still secondary.

Elder Qinggu, who was sitting in the corner, nodded slowly at this moment. Isn't the spirit of "sacrifice" inherited by the Xianlun Sect over thousands of years the same as what Li Xiaochen said? It seems that this kid is not only talented in Dao and immortal arts, but also has a transparent understanding of the "Dao" beyond ordinary people, and he is indeed a rare talent.

Hattori Tenzo saw that Izumo Chiyuki seemed to be retreating, so he persuaded him, "Don't be bluffed by that kid's nonsense. You should be aware of the mission you are here for. ”

"Is it really right to be brave and ruthless? Is it really right to be obsessed with glory and face? Is it really right to be stubborn in the narrow prejudices of one country?" Izumo Chiyuki bit her lip and thought seriously.

"Qianxue, if you give up halfway, then I will personally take action to defeat the 'myth' of Li Xiaochen!" Hattori Tenzo has already planned to firmly carry out Uesugi Sensei's instructions.

Izumo Chiyuki sat down on her knees and muttered, "I want to think about it, think about it......"

Hattori Tenzo sighed indisputably: "You who have a firm belief will actually be confused by a few words from the immortal cultivators of Shenzhou. What did Izumo Taisha cultivate you for? Forget it, I don't need you to do it. I'll meet Li Xiaochen for a while. ”

Taking off the clothes on his upper body, Hattori Tenzo walked up to Li Xiaochen and said in Chinese: "Li Xiaochen, I want to compete with you!"

Li Xiaochen smiled slightly: "I have also changed people here." It is also reasonable for you to change people to compete. ”

"Hmph, I'm not like Qianxue, doing some crepe things. Hattori Tenzo pulled out a kitchen knife from his waist and chopped it on the table, "I'm going to play two games with you." The first game is cooking. The second game is a fight. In case of a tie, an extra game will be played. The content of the competition is up to you. How's that, do you dare to fight?"

Li Xiaochen replied: "There is no need for an extra game. A tie counts me as a loss. ”

Hattori Tenzo frowned, pointed at Li Xiaochen and said, "You will pay for your arrogance!"

Since the first round takes time to prepare the ingredients. So both sides can take a break for a while.

During the preparation, Sun Yingying came to Li Xiaochen's side and couldn't help but sigh: "These Japanese are really weird. One will be calligraphy, another will be painting, and now it is cooking. I really don't know what these people are thinking. ”

Li Xiaochen smiled: "I guess, the cooking of the cuisine is definitely not simple. It won't be using normal cooking techniques. At least you have to use your own Tao to cook. The result is something that is more delicious than a regular dish. ”

"What, what? What did you just say?" Sun Yingying looked at Li Xiaochen with a sneer, "I can't see through you more and more." What kind of Taoism, immortals...... Li Zhenren, you have married such a beautiful woman as a wife, do you still want to become a monk?"

Li Xiaochen said disapprerovingly: "What's wrong with that? Didn't Prince Siddhartha resolutely become a monk after marrying a wife and having children? Otherwise, how could there be Shakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment?"

"You really have this kind of thought!" Sun Yingying almost popped out her eyes, "I just said it casually." Qin Yufei is so pitiful. What did she do wrong? You're going to do that to her...... What a terrible thing!"

"Don't mess around with idioms. Li Xiaochen laughed, "I'm also talking about playing." As for my father-in-law's and mother-in-law's temper, if I were a monk, they would have beaten me to death. ”

At this time, Lu Bingbing and Meimei both came over and greeted him. Lu Bingbing looked at the people who were preparing the ingredients with great interest, and suddenly asked Li Xiaochen: "Have you thought about what you are going to cook later?"

"Golden nugget meal. Li Xiaochen replied without thinking.

"Wow! What perverted and disgusting food!You actually want to use poop to cook!" Meimei immediately pinched her nose with a look of disgust.

Li Xiaochen smiled happily, said a word of unaccompaniment, and went to Qin Yufei's side, saying, "The 'my child' you just said was so miserable, even I was deceived by you. Don't pretend, you're alright, are you? ”

Qin Yufei pursed her lips and shook her head pitifully: "People's stomachs hurt so much......

Li Xiaochen straightened his face and poked her waist with his fingers, making Qin Yufei giggle and tremble.

After enough trouble, Li Xiaochen asked solemnly, "Is the child really okay?"

Qin Yufei gave him a reassuring look and said, "It's okay." The little one saved. Mom worked so hard. Daddy deserves a reward, right?"

"What's so embarrassing about that? I love shy young man so much, in front of ......" Li Xiaochen glanced at Qin Yichuan and his wife next to him, and couldn't go on.

"Uh-huh, let's go. Qin Yichuan left with Lin Yifei with interest and went to the front to greet the guests.

Qin Yufei smiled and closed her eyes: "You can kiss now, right?"

Li Xiaochen happily kissed Qin Yufei at this time. The two kissed passionately for a while, and Qin Yufei simply pulled Li Xiaochen down on the bed and let him caress him to his heart's content.

"Ahem, Brother Chen, it's ready ahead. Just as Qin Yufei was impatiently unbuttoning Li Xiaochen's pants, Sun Yingying's voice startled the two.

Qin Yufei caught a glimpse of Sun Yingying smiling at them, and her face was red with shame. When Sun Yingying retreated, she blamed Li Xiaochen: "It's all you who hurt people." I...... I just wanted to kiss it. Now they are all seen. She must have thought I was!"

Li Xiaochen smiled: "You are already very hungry and thirsty. Are you still afraid of what people say? If you're pregnant, you won't let me go, haha!"

Qin Yufei said angrily: "You laugh at me again." I'll ignore you. ”

Li Xiaochen quickly shut up and turned around. But the body still twitched and endured very hard. Qin Yufei didn't have a problem with him, so she had to change the topic: "How did you find out that I pretended to be a child who couldn't be saved?"
