Chapter 161 The left and right dragons are the water of the alliance
Wow!
Zhang Xuan paused.
Although Master Lu Chen had a large collection of books, he couldn't keep up with the speed at which he turned through the books. In about an hour, he finally finished reading them all, and tens of thousands of identical books formed in his mind.
"Basic experience in calligraphy and painting", "Complete collection of calligraphy and painting techniques", "How to enter the second realm of calligraphy and painting", "The only copy of the setting sun"...
As expected of a master, he has collected almost all the books on calligraphy and painting in the entire Tianxuan Kingdom. Added up, there are tens of thousands of books, among which there are hundreds of so-called unique books, which are difficult to find on the market.
If he were asked to collect them, even a master of calligraphy and painting would probably not be able to do it. It turns out that His Majesty Shen Zhui, in order to repay the kindness of enlightenment, sent people to collect and send them one by one.
"With these books, it should be fine!"
After copying the book, Zhang Xuan paused, his mind moved, and he whispered in his head: "Correct!"
Wow!
Correct sentences from countless books were extracted and re-formed into a new book.
Zhang Xuan opened the book and read it.
"Calligraphy and painting, divided into calligraphy and painting, can cultivate sentiment and make people feel peaceful..."
It starts with an explanation of calligraphy and painting, followed by how to hold a pen, how to write, and how to polish.
Everything has skills, including calligraphy and painting. Although it requires hard work to complete, if you have a good teacher and a good path, you will learn a lot faster.
This book, which collects tens of thousands of calligraphy and painting skills and works of art, is a broad road to the top without any detours. Along the way, Zhang Xuan's understanding of calligraphy and painting becomes more and more profound.
He stood quietly and read the book page by page.
I don't know how long it took, but I opened my eyes and immediately saw a pair of black eyes appearing in front of me.
"ah……"
While he was wondering, the owner of the eyeballs was startled, shouted, and hurriedly backed away.
"Master Lu Chen?"
Only then did Zhang Xuan see his appearance clearly. It was none other than Master Lu.
At this moment, the master looked over with a vigilant expression, as if he had a wild beast on his body.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Looking at his appearance, Zhang Xuan looked strange.
I don't know how to kill, what does this attitude mean?
"You...didn't you make a breakthrough this time?"
Master Lu asked cautiously.
"Breakthrough? No!" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
"That's good..." He breathed a sigh of relief, but Master Lu Chen still had lingering fears: "I saw you haven't come out for a long time, so I wanted to come over and have a look..."
I thought that little friend Zhang Xuan would come out after about ten minutes while he was reading. Unexpectedly, it would be close to two hours as soon as he came in. I couldn't wait any longer, so I walked over.
When I came in, I saw him standing in front of the bookshelf with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
Suddenly I remembered... It seemed like the same thing happened last time. He read a book for a while, closed his eyes and was in a daze. Then his study became a mess, and he was thrown to death, and then... nothing happened...
This time...it won't happen again...
While I was struggling with what to do, I saw the other party opened his eyes and didn't run out of the study in fear, even though he was quite brave.
"How can a breakthrough be so easy..."
Seeing his vigilant look, Zhang Xuan understood and shook his head with a wry smile.
It would have been better not to listen to this. When he heard it, Master Lu Chen only felt a tightness in his chest and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Not that easy?
Wasn't it so easy for you last time?
It was also because the breakthrough was too big and I couldn't adapt to the strength... If I hadn't had some strength, I might have died at that time...
The more I think about it, the more depressed I become. Forget it, luckily I didn't break through here this time, otherwise... I'd really consider not letting you enter the study again...
"How are you? Have you adjusted your mood?" Lu Chen changed the heavy topic.
"It's almost done, let's go out!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
When the two of them returned to the hall, they saw Huang Yu. Bai Xun and others were already looking at him eagerly. They were reading books to adjust their state. They spent two or three hours at a time. They were drunk just thinking about it.
"How about it?"
The original language master's face doesn't look very good either.
He originally planned to visit the famous teacher Yang Xuan in the afternoon, but this guy was good. He adjusted his mood until the sun was almost setting, and coupled with the secret judgment in his heart before, he didn't leave in a hurry, which was good.
"Uh...that's it!"
Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Xuan felt a little embarrassed at the loss.
"Let's start painting!" Master Lu Chen waved his hand for fear that the scene would not look good.
"Yeah!" After quickly running through the painting methods he saw in the Tiandao books in his mind, Zhang Xuan came to the table in two steps and picked up the brush casually.
Seeing that he really wanted to paint, Huang Yu said, Bai Xun immediately concentrated his attention and showed excitement.
After adjusting for such a long time, what kind of masterpiece can Master Zhang paint?
Even the master of the original language couldn't help but look at it. If he was really deliberately cheating and pretending, he would not teach him a lesson...
While everyone was watching, Zhang Xuan hesitated: "Master Lu, do you still have paper? Can I try the brush first?"
Calligraphy and painting are not exercises. Just circulate the Qi in the body for a circle. No matter how much you know, you still need to practice and explore.
He had never painted before, nor had he used a brush very much. He had to first test the softness and hardness of the brush and know how the ink and watercolor appeared on the paper before he could paint.
This is also the reason why I have studied so many alchemy books but cannot become a real alchemist in a short time.
Refining alchemy requires a lot of practice, while painting requires paying attention to the artistic conception. Even if the brushstrokes are weak, you can still make good works if you understand the artistic conception.
"Try it!" The original language master's face became even more ugly.
If the other person is really a master of calligraphy and painting, why would he still try his handwriting?
Clearly trying to delay time.
Huh, I'll let you delay. After a while, I'll see if you have any other excuses.
Ignoring his strange look, Zhang Xuan picked up a brush, dipped it in watercolor, and drew a few strokes on the paper with ink. Then he used another brush, dipped it in water, and smeared it casually.
"Is this the most basic dyeing method? You have to try this... Master Zhang, this isn't your first time holding a pen, is it?"
Looking at his actions, Huang Yu couldn't help but say.
Splitting is a technique in painting. One pen is dipped in color and another pen is dipped in water to spread the color, forming a gradient effect from thick to light. This is the same as the Changquan in martial arts.
As long as you can draw, there's nothing you can't do...
Others try their pens to test the softness and hardness, as well as the lightness and weight of the ink. This guy is better, trying all kinds of techniques, like a curious baby who has never been touched before...
I saw everyone was constipated.
Brother, we have been waiting for you for several hours, can you hurry up?
If this continues, I'm afraid I'll die of old age without being able to see your paintings...
"When I first picked up a pen, it seemed like the same thing. I wanted to try it, but actually... I couldn't do anything..." Bai Xun was also full of doubts, and even he could tell that something was wrong.
Look at Master Lu, Master Yuan, his whole aura changes as soon as he holds a pen, just like a swordsman holding a sword, you... what the hell is this?
In front of him, Master Zhang, whom he admired, held the brush in a correct posture, but his movements were stiff and not free at all. It was no different from the first time he came into contact with it.
Don't tell me that just now you were reading a book to get in shape, but you were actually learning how to paint?
Master Lu Chen was also confused and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhang Xuan's gourd was selling.
"alright!"
After adapting for a while, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as he finally fully integrated the knowledge learned in his mind with the movements on his hands.
"Then...let's begin!"
Seeing him stop, Master Lu Chen asked tentatively, fearing that the guy in front of him would do something wrong again.
However, fortunately, Zhang Xuan didn't say anything else. He responded and took a few steps to the clean white paper. With a flick of his finger, the brush flew up and touched the ink. At the same time, he lightly touched it with his other hand.
Grab and hold the other brush in your palm.
Wow!
The two brushes kept flying in his hands as if they were alive, and a painting slowly appeared on the originally empty white paper.
"Is this... a wandering dragon from left to right?"
The original master who originally wanted to expose his deception immediately widened his eyes when he saw this scene and almost dropped his eyeballs to the ground.
Even Master Lu Chen swayed and did not faint on the spot.
"What is the left and right dragon?"
Seeing the two masters looking like they had seen a ghost, Bai Xun couldn't help but ask.
"Normally when we paint, we use a brush. We first outline the general shape, and then fill in the details!" Lu Chen explained.
Huang Yu and Bai Xun nodded at the same time.
They have also been exposed to calligraphy and painting, and they all know the steps of painting, outlining the general environment, filling in ink and polishing the details bit by bit until the painting is completed.
"It's the same as building a house. You first make the frame and then compact it bit by bit. Although the foundation is solid, the painting speed is a bit unsatisfactory and not fast enough!"
Master Lu Chen continued: "In order to increase the speed of painting, some powerful calligraphers and painters have created this method of swimming dragons from left to right. As the name suggests, the mind is divided into two parts, the bow is drawn left and right, and two brushes are used to start from the left and right ends at the same time.
, there is no need to conceive a frame, nor any embellishment or polishing. The whole picture exists in the heart and keeps moving forward... When the two strokes meet, the painting is completed!"
"This way, both the painting time and efficiency can be more than doubled, but it is extremely difficult!"
"First of all, you must have a clear understanding of the size of the entire painting. Secondly, you must not make any mistakes if you are distracted by two things. Finally, you must have a clear understanding of the colors and tones so that there will be no confusion when the two sides of the painting are connected.
Any questions…”
"To be honest, this is an extremely brilliant skill. Even Brother Yuan and I can't do it..."
Speaking of this, Master Lu Chen shook his head, his old face still full of disbelief.
This method of painting a dragon with two hands requires absolute confidence in the painting, and it is difficult to complete without decades of practice in the cold and summer. Zhang Xuan just did it...
Isn't that too exaggerated?
"Don't be shocked yet. The left and right drawn parts must be perfectly connected to be considered a real success. If they are not connected, it is all fake!"
The master of primitive language on one side slowed down and couldn't help but hum.
The left and right dragons are awesome, but no matter how good they are, if they can't connect, it's all nonsense.
It's still the same as building a house. Superb technology was used on both sides, and it was so strong that even a sixth-level warrior couldn't destroy it. But in the end... it couldn't be connected, it was uneven, and it was a failure!
