Emperor Xuanzong said: "Previously, there were many craftsmen from the Divine Works Bureau in the Bad Man's Hall. The monks and Taoists were sent back, and I gathered them together to know the refining process of the 'Shengren Jia'.
If you want to forge a pair of "human armor", you certainly need excellent materials and the blessing of monks and Taoists, but the most important thing is the so-called "ink drawing".
This 'Eighty-eight Immortals Scroll', you think it is also the best among the 'Ink Paintings'?"
As the saint spoke, he cast his gentle and protective eyes on Wu Daozi again. Wu Daozi felt as if he was lying on the clouds for a moment.
He stood up and replied to the saint in a reserved manner: "The bad commander originally wanted me to stay in the Shenggong Bureau for a longer period of time, hoping that I could leave a few more ink pictures for the Shenggong Bureau.
But after I sketched the 'Eighty-eight Immortals Scroll', he no longer bound me and let me go, saying that this scroll was worth dozens of ink drawings."
As soon as Wu Daozi finished speaking, all the wise men started talking about it.
"There is only one so-called 'ink painting' in which eighty-seven immortals are outlined. Could it be used to refine eighty-seven pairs of human armor?"
"This painting is truly unique!"
"Master Wu can be described as a saint in the painting..."
Xuanzong listened to the comments of the people around him. He looked at the ink painting on the case, and he was also full of expectations for it. He said: "Now my subordinates have also gathered many craftsmen and lettermen. They also
I have the experience of creating the Shengrenjia, and now I have this "Eighty-eight Immortal Scroll"... The Shengrenjia was created by the Divine Works Bureau. With the cooperation of my ministers, it may not be impossible to be better than others and even better.
Yu Lan!"
The saint's words had already revealed some unusual information.
But when the officials at the banquet heard what Xuanzong said, they all remained calm and nodded in agreement.
When Wu Daozi heard the saint's words, he looked a little embarrassed.
Li Longji, who was paying great attention to him now, naturally caught the change in Wu Daozi's expression immediately, so he immediately smiled and asked Wu Daozi: "If you have any concerns, Aiqing, you might as well tell them.
I want to set up a ‘Shenjia Division’ to unify the ‘General Supervisors’ and put it under the control of the Ministry of Works, and I want to make you the ‘Shenjia Division Chief’.”
High-ranking officials and generous salaries are now just around the corner.
The saint promised Wu Daozi the position of "Shenjia Sizheng". After Wu Daozi made some achievements in this position and refined the first human armor produced by the Shenjia Division, he would definitely be promoted even more.
Rewards and titles will follow!
But before that, Wu Daozi still had some things that needed to be clarified with Emperor Xuanzong.
Wu Daozi bowed down to the sage, and then said: "The sage doesn't know something, but the 'true meaning of heaven and man' in this 'Eighty-eight Immortals Volume' has been captured by the bad commander.
With this true meaning flowing through the painting, it is natural to use it to forge human armor.
However, now the true meaning in the painting has been captured by the bad commander. If you want to use this picture scroll to forge human armor, you need the bad commander to first release this "true meaning of heaven and man".
——However, if this true meaning of heaven and man is really released by a bad commander, I am afraid that it will be easily snatched away by heaven, but it is impossible to spread to the outside world. Therefore, if it is forged with this 'Eighty-Eight Immortal Scroll'
It is actually impossible to give birth to Ren A.
But Wei Chen is willing to devote himself to this matter and strive to draw another picture containing the true meaning of heaven and man within one month, so that it can be used by the future ‘Shenjia Division’!”
Wu Daozi solemnly promised.
However, Xuanzong suddenly saw the "Eighty-eight Immortals Scroll" and felt the mystery in the painting. Now he heard from Wu Daozi that the current scroll could not be used for his own armor, so he was inevitably unhappy. Fortunately.
Without showing anything on his face, he smiled and asked Wu Daozi: "Why is the so-called true meaning of heaven and man in this painting taken away by heaven?
Moreover, I see that there are only eighty-seven immortals in this scroll, why is it called the ‘Eighty-Eight Immortals Scroll’?”
"Because the Eighty-Eight Immortals seem to be in the painting, but also seem not to be in the painting, with its existence, the Eighty-Eight Immortals Scroll is very flexible and has various wonderful changes, so it is called the Eighty-Eight Immortals Scroll.
And the true meaning in this painting was taken away by Heaven... The reason why the bad handsome name is because of the wonderful charm of the painting, which is jealous of Heaven, so it wants to take it away..." Wu Daozi replied to the sage.
As soon as he said these words, the officials looked surprised, and they became more aware of the weight of this "Eighty-Eight Immortals Scroll".
The ministers evaluated this painting from the perspective of art appreciation, but Wu Daozi's words mentioned the true value of this painting, which obviously exceeded the artistic value - this "ink painting", once painted, became
To the point of being jealous of heaven, if you use this ink drawing to refine human armor, what kind of magical armor can you create?
It's a pity that the true meaning in the painting was occupied by the bad handsome man, but Xuanzong could not take it as his own!
Wu Daozi's words made Emperor Xuanzong feel even more uncomfortable. He suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, ordered the palace attendants to put away the scrolls on the table, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. A bad handsome man can steal food from a tiger's mouth.
, be the first to capture the true meaning in the painting.
This painting should also be used by him."
The saint made a pun.
The ministers looked at their noses with their eyes, and their noses looked at their hearts, but they had no response to the sage's words.
Xuanzong smiled and looked at Wu Daoxuan, who sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere and was worried, and then said: "I have Wu Qing now, which is no more precious than the so-called true meaning of heaven and man in the Eighty-Eight Immortals Volume.
?
The green mountains are here, why are you afraid that there will be no firewood?
What's more, there are so many talented people in the world, so they use the position of "waiting for imperial edicts" to recruit talents for the country and make them fill the temples!
Wu Qing, the craftsman and monk who had previously left the Shenggong Bureau, has been placed in a building in the west of the city by me, so I will use that building as the office of the "Shenjia Division".
You are responsible for the uprightness of the Divine Armor, and you shoulder the great responsibility to create the first human Armor as soon as possible - I will reward you!"
Wu Daoxuan was frightened. He felt a lot of inexplicable pressure on his shoulders, and his mood became slightly heavier: "I am willing to devote myself to this matter until my death!"
"good!"
The saint's smile became even more satisfied, he raised the wine cup in his hand and said to the ministers: "Wu Qing, everyone, drink to win!"
…
late at night.
The banquet in the palace garden has dispersed.
Li Longji moved to the palace where he usually worked and changed into loose robes.
He sat leaning against the couch, his right elbow supporting the armrest, and the tall eunuch behind him gently kneading his forehead.
In the hall, many Taoist priests gathered here, sorting out many talismans into categories and putting them into brocade boxes.
The old 'Zhang Guo' was leaning on a cane and sitting beside him.
The old man took a nap slightly, as if he was a little sleepy because it was already late at night.
Emperor Xuanzong looked down at the golden and purple talisman on the low table in front of him. The talisman itself had nothing special. It was just a talisman to ward off disasters and bring blessings. It also fit in with the demon-suppressing ritual that was about to be held tomorrow, but it outlined
The person wearing this talisman is actually Zhang Wu, the bad handsome man today.
