Chapter 118: The Tao can lead to God
The boy in Tsing Yi took half of Zhang Yutang's painting and returned to the center of Suiyuan angrily.
"Childe, I'm back, the so-called holy master and apprentice have a false name, knowing that I went to place a war post, so he avoided it, and in the end I was forced by words to take the battle post, but in the end he didn't show up, obviously not taking you in his eyes. ”
"Oh. ”
In the center of the fate, Fang Ruyu was dressed in civilian clothes, sitting there quietly, with a strong momentum, such as the towering mountains, like the mighty green darkness, holding a pen, engrossed in painting a picture, painting a picture of pine cranes extending their years, pine trees dripping green, old branches are strong, a crane spreads its wings and wants to fly, such as the blue sky.
The boy in Tsing Yi saw that his son was painting, standing aside, not daring to squeak, Fang Ruyu was most taboo that someone disturbed him when he was painting.
I remember that once, there was a new boy, because he didn't know Fang Ruyu's habit, when Fang Ruyu was painting, he inadvertently broke in, disturbing Fang Ruyu's train of thought, and was beaten half to death by Fang Ruyu, until he was tired of beating in the end, and he was spared his life.
"Shh
After finishing the last stroke, Fang Ruyu gently blew the ink on the tip of the pen, admired the painting he had just completed, and said:
"This is my last year, on the snowy mountain, I happened to see a pine tree, covering the sky and cracking clouds, the old branches are like dragons, when a snow-white crane flew by, its scenery is ethereal, wonderful, and now I think about it, it is still as if it is close at hand. ”
Turning his head, he looked at the boy in Tsing Yi and smiled slightly:
"Tsing Yi, what do you look at this painting?"
Tsing Yi stepped forward and looked at it for a while before saying:
"Childe's painting, between the strokes, is like nature, has reached the peak of painting, and there is no one in this world who can paint better than Childe. ”
Fang Ruyu smiled faintly:
"Tsing Yi, don't say that, Childe's paintings have not yet reached the highest level, listen to my former master, only by not sticking to the law, finding another way, can you become a generation of grandmasters, I just according to the master's words, step by step, to have today's achievements. ”
It was the first time that Tsing Yi had heard that Childe's paintings had not yet reached the highest level, and he was a little surprised:
"Childe is now a painting saint, once a painting is released, everyone is rushing to buy it, and he is proud of Childe's paintings, isn't this the highest level?"
Fang Ruyu said:
Legend has it that there was once a painter who met an old man spinning, the old man was poor and could not afford to buy an oil lamp, so the painter painted a picture of the stars and the moon in the sky for the old man, and at night, the moonlight was shining, the stars were shining, shining like daylight, and the old man was able to spin by the moonlight and starlight. ”
"Haha, it's hard for me to believe that there really is such a painting skill, is that kind of painting skill still a painting, maybe only a god can do it. ”
"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about this incident, you went to the Holy Master's Mansion and didn't see the Holy Master himself, so he didn't have anything to say?"
Tsing Yi says:
"Indeed, there was a reply, he asked me to bring half of the painting, and said that he would definitely come to Suiyuanju at noon tomorrow to ask Gongzi for advice. ”
"Childe, when the time comes, you have to humiliate him fiercely and vent your anger for Tsing Yi. ”
Hugh said more. ”
Fang Ruyu smiled at the corner of her mouth:
"I didn't expect the Holy Master to give me a painting back, I guess I think very highly of myself, and I plan to continue to paint a complete painting tomorrow, and then defeat me in one fell swoop. ”
"It's just that I don't need to look at half of your paintings, tomorrow at noon, I will draw whatever you paint, so that you can lose convincingly. ”
Tsing Yi Road:
"Childe, aren't you going to see this painting?"
Fang Ruyu shook his head and said:
"Why do you need to look, when you see it, you will fall down, you put it away, and wait until noon tomorrow, and you will see the high and low. ”
... The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhang Yutang got up to practice and never stopped.
Raising yang, practicing swords, and drawing talismans, as always.
After eating, Zhang Yutang said:
"Let's go, let's go to Suiyuanju, and we will meet this world's first painting saint for a while, and see what he has to do, and he can call the last holy word. ”
"Yes, Childe. ”
Li Yong, Ah Bao, and Xu Jiaorong were all a little excited, and followed behind Zhang Yutang and came towards Suiyuanju.
Along the way, after the people of Qiantang saw Zhang Yutang, they all cheered excitedly:
"Come on Zhang Gongzi, you must defeat the so-called painting saint. ”
"When it comes to our Qiantang territory, even the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down. ”
"The holy master Jin Shengyu Zhen is unparalleled in the world. ”
... Pedestrians made way for Zhang Yutang one after another, crowded up from behind, and walked together in the direction of Suiyuanju.
"Childe, Zhang Yutang is here. ”
The boy, who had been paying attention to the movement outside, trotted into Fang Ruyu's room.
Fang Ruyu was sitting on the stool in the room, closed her eyes and recuperated, stood up when she heard the words, and said:
"Take that half of the painting with you, and let's go and meet this holy master for a while. ”
Tsing Yi followed behind him, holding half of the painting made by Zhang Yutang, and walked towards the center of the hall where he lived with his fate.
Found a wide table, Fang Ruyu sat steadily, his eyes blazing and looking outside with his fate, waiting for Zhang Yutang.
"In the lower Zhang Yutang. ”
One step into Suiyuanju, Zhang Yutang saw Fang Ruyu sitting in the center, Fang Ruyu raised his head and also looked at Zhang Yutang, the eyes of the two met in the air, without giving in, like sparks.
Fang Ruyu slowly stood up:
"It's like jade down there, Holy Master, please!"
Zhang Yutang walked to the opposite side of the table and said with a smile:
"I can only write some poetry and articles, for painting, it is really very rough, Brother Fang has been invited several times, and I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman and learn from Brother Fang. ”
Fang Ruyu said:
"The name of the holy teacher, spread all over the world, the gentleman knows everything about the six arts, how can it be said that it is just a rough painting, and I have learned painting skills for a few years, and I want to ask the holy master for advice. ”
With a wave of the hand:
"Tsing Yi, hang up the half of the painting that the Holy Master asked you to bring yesterday, and ask the Holy Master to complete this peerless painting. ”
"Yes, Childe. ”
Tsing Yi led the two boys forward, slowly opened the half of the painting, and a five-clawed dragon soared through the clouds, looking up to the sky and roaring, like a living thing, magnificent.
But the fly in the ointment is that this five-clawed dragon did not have eyes drawn.
Fang Ruyu glanced at it and snorted coldly in her heart:
"There is no finishing touch in the painting, it seems that you are here for the finishing touch, no matter what, no matter what, this painting is beautiful, but it lacks a spiritual temperament, even if you point to the eyes, what can you do. ”
"Today, I will also make a picture of the five dragons, so that the name of this holy master will change hands. ”
Looking at the open half of the painting, Zhang Yutang smiled slightly:
"Yesterday I wanted to finish this painting, but I didn't expect to be disturbed halfway, so I only made half of it, and today I finished painting this painting and asked Brother Fang for advice. ”
Fang Ruyu smiled:
"It's just right, I also want to make a picture of the five dragons today, it's better to do this, let's make a bet, if we win by luck, and ask the holy master to take the name of this holy teacher, after all, the holy master is the teacher of the saint of literature and Taoism, and the example of the world's scholars, not to write a few poems to be called the holy teacher, such a holy teacher, is too worthless. ”
"Of course, if I am not the opponent of the Holy Master, I really have no face in the next place, and I call myself a painting saint. ”
Zhang Yutang's cold light flashed, hidden, and a smile appeared on his face:
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not qualified to be a saint teacher in the first place, it's just that the emperor praises me and the people respect me, and I am not a saint master who has achieved it with any poetry, poetry is just a flash of inspiration, it's nothing. ”
"What I rely on is nothing more than an article, the way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the insufficiency, the way of man is not enough to be described, and the way of heaven and man is just the way of heaven and man. ”
"The Way of Heaven and Man?"
Fang Ruyu was shocked when she heard this, the more she chewed these two sentences, the more she felt that the mystery in them was unfathomable, and her eyes were shining:
"The Holy Master's understanding of the truth is as ashamed as jade, and now we will only talk about painting, regardless of anything else. ”
At this point, in fact, Fang Ruyu lost from the momentum.
"Since the Holy Master has already made half of it, Ruyu will be presumptuous, first make a picture of the Five Dragons, and ask the Holy Master to comment. ”
Standing up, he said to the boys behind him:
"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone waiting. ”
"Yes, Childe. ”
Four boys, one grinding ink, one carrying an inkstone, and two tearing open a banner and standing in front of the public, allowing nearby readers to watch.
Walking to the banner, Fang Ruyu pondered for a while, waved his pen, and a picture of five dragons jumped on the paper, with deep pen power and strength through the back of the paper.
On the banner, five dragons haunted in the sea of clouds, some lightly soothered their claws, some sprayed clouds and belched mist, some played with double dragons playing with pearls, and some flew in the sea of clouds, lifelike, like living creatures.
Zhang Yutang saw it, and couldn't help but admire:
"The technique is close to the Tao, the Tao can be channeled, this is almost a painting skill that is close to the avenue, and it is wonderful. ”
When he got closer, he shook his head again and sighed:
"It's a pity that one step is a long way away. ”
Fang Ruyu was satisfied with the five dragons picture he made on the spot, no matter what he did, he almost reached the peak of his life's skills, and under the pressure of the Holy Master's reputation, his potential was released.
However, looking at Zhang Yutang, who shook his head, Fang Ruyu was unhappy, but he still said calmly on his face:
"Please ask the Holy Master to teach me. ”
The boys hung the five dragons aside, and then pulled the boy with half of Zhang Yutang's painting and stepped forward.
In this regard, Zhang Yutang didn't care, he was proficient in the way of drawing talismans, and he had already reached the realm of two ghosts and gods.
Drawing talismans, drawing talismans, talismans are also drawn, these readers, if they want to compete with Zhang Yutang to try painting, it is simply a class axe.
Glancing at the picture of the five dragons, Zhang Yutang smiled, walked to the unfinished half of the painting, and put the finishing touches on it.
The five-clawed golden dragon that originally roared in the sky had eyes, and above the banner, the clouds and mist suddenly appeared, and a long howling dragon roared, and with a loud sound, the five-clawed golden dragon flew out of the banner and danced for nine days.
This dragon is alive!
Looking at the five-clawed golden dragon flying away, Fang Ruyu's face turned white, and he sat on the chair with a plop, and was silent for a long time.
Zhang Yutang smiled slightly:
"Take!"
