"Since we are on the observatory, facing the stars in the sky, why don't we make this the theme?"
Qi Xingwen looked up at the stars in the sky and said.
"Can."
Zhu Youji agreed.
"Paper, ink and pen."
Qi Xingwen nodded slightly, shook his folding fan lightly, and said something in an understatement.
The next moment, green light emerged, and painting tools such as pens, inks, paper, and inkstones emerged one by one.
They fell to their sides respectively.
"please!"
"please!"
The two of them saluted each other, then walked to the suspended rice paper and began to draw.
Qi Xingwen waved his ink pen, pressed the inkstone, smeared it with thick ink, touched it on the rice paper, and began to outline the outline of the starry night scene...
The paintings by Confucian and Taoist painters are different from the paintings by ordinary painters. They not only pay attention to the composition of the picture, but also contain the artistic conception and show the special features of Confucian paintings.
The pen falls in the storm, and the painting becomes the ghosts and gods!
This is the highest realm of Confucian painting.
It is also the realm that painters pursue throughout their lives.
According to legend, there was a painter in the Tang Dynasty who was called the Painting Sage, named Wu Daozi. His painting of Zhong Kui catching demons could suppress evil spirits, restrain evil spirits, and even restrain ghosts and gods.
The two of them were competing in painting skills, not just in painting, but also in Confucianism and Taoism, their understanding of the stars in the sky, and even their own understanding of the Tao.
Only by integrating your own feelings into paintings can you have the magical effect of turning decay into something magical.
As Qi Xingwen started writing, Zhu Youji's ink pen also landed on the rice paper suspended in front of him. The fresh air surged and gathered at the tip of the pen, outlining dots of stars and falling on the paper.
The artistic conception surged, and the surrounding pictures gradually became distorted, as if crimson stars were emerging one after another, covering the figure of Zhu Youji who was painting.
Seeing this, Qi Xingwen was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Youji's painting skills to be so outstanding?
With just a few strokes of pen, the artistic conception space is outlined through clear air?
Sure enough, is he also a great scholar who is proficient in painting?
Qi Xingwen restrained his emotions and put his whole heart and soul into the painting. He also pointed out the stars, and the starlight emerged, condensing the corresponding illusory artistic conception.
Two illusory artistic conceptions confront each other and occupy the two halves of the observatory. They are like Taichi fish on the ground, competing in separate chambers, making it difficult to distinguish the superior from the inferior.
As the two men deepened their painting, the illusory artistic conception of confrontation began to gradually emerge, and changes in the stars began to emerge.
Corresponding to Qi Xingwen's illusory artistic conception, what emerges is a dazzling starry sky, the most outstanding of which are seven stars shining with different lights. They correspond to outline the shape of a spoon.
"Big Dipper?"
"The four stars of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji and Tianquan form the fighting body and are called Kui."
"The Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Fluctuating Lights form the handle of a bucket, which is called a ladle."
"It seems that Xingwen is planning to use the Big Dipper to fight against Liu Yun's star map."
Jiang Mei looked at the spoon-shaped diagram of the Big Dipper that emerged and said softly.
Qian Ziyu on the side showed a smile and said: "Xingwen's best thing is the Big Dipper chart, which uses stars to draw pictures. Liu Yun miscalculated this one, but he is sure."
"Indeed, when it comes to painting beautiful mountains and rivers, or using people to paint, Qi Xingwen can only be ranked among the top three in Jixia Academy. But if we talk about star pictures alone, with this Big Dipper picture, he can be ranked second."
"Except for Liu Yong who is still in seclusion, he has no rivals." Jiang Mei nodded slightly, acknowledging Qian Ziyu's words.
At the same time, the students who saw the Big Dipper chart were also excited.
After all, they are students from Jixia Academy, and they know Qi Xingwen's strength very well.
Especially Qi Xingwen also showed his best picture of the Big Dipper.
No matter how hard you think about it, you won’t lose, right?
At this moment, the illusory artistic conception corresponding to Zhu Youji gradually sketched out the corresponding pattern.
The boundless sea of stars and the bright and boundless road of stars are paved with silence, tranquility and eternity, seeming to wrap up all the unknown and darkness, waiting for others to explore.
At this moment, the illusory artistic conception exuding the light of the Big Dipper appears so small and illusory in the vast universe, like a drop in the ocean among thousands of stars.
"this……"
Qi Xingwen's ink pen flickered and he almost made a mistake. He looked at the eternity, dead silence, and boundless vastness contained in this artistic conception, and his own insignificance emerged in his heart.
Compared with the artistic conception of this painting, any picture of the starry sky seems to have become a foil and a part of it.
Others are painting the night sky, the starry sky, the Big Dipper, and the corresponding stars. They are trying to use this method to contain the spirit of Confucianism and Taoism and form a powerful consciousness space.
The paintings painted by Zhu Youji are not the starry sky, nor are they just stars.
This is the universe.
This is the universe that only belonged to Zhu Youji's previous life.
The vastness behind the starry sky, the boundless vastness, the ultimate unknown that is difficult to explore in a lifetime, the planets that breed countless lives and countless hopes.
Any picture, any content, seems small and insignificant in the endless vastness of the universe.
In terms of far-reaching intentions, Zhu Youji has already won.
"How could anyone in heaven and earth make such a painting?"
Qi Xingwen almost collapsed and gave up on the spot.
The difference is so big that it doesn't look like the same level of artistic conception at all.
No matter how powerful the artistic conception contained in the Big Dipper is, it is just a combination of seven stars.
Once this painting was published, there was no more starry sky painting in the world.
"Stay steady, steady your mentality, I haven't lost yet."
"Even if he wins on purpose, we are competing on the Tao of Painting! We are competing on the Tao of Confucianism!"
"How can he integrate his own pure energy into such a terrifying and boundless vastness?"
"He can't blend in. No matter how high his intentions are, he can't surpass my Big Dipper chart!"
"Hold on, I can win!"
Qi Xingwen took a deep breath, forcibly stabilized his mentality, and continued to paint, pouring his own spirituality into it, and through the mutual connection of pure Qi, he gradually finished the Big Dipper diagram.
The stars are shining brightly, among which the Big Dipper occupies the core position, exuding a powerful fresh air.
Qi Xingwen's starry sky map is completed.
After Qi Xingwen stopped writing, he closed his eyes silently and did not watch Zhu Youji's painting.
Instead, he began to silently adjust his emotions and calm down the mental energy that had just been spent on refreshing his energy and spirituality.
Zhu Youji's pen strokes were still slow and slow.
Most of the entire starry sky appears in his paintings.
Various star patterns, Sagittarius, Leo, Pisces...
Milky Way, Solar System, Black Hole, White Hole, Neutron Star...
Countless celestial shapes were formed one by one under Zhu Youji's pen.
Zhu Youji only saw this starry sky, but his thoughts had already begun to wander the stars in the universe and the vast and vast world.
In this environment, his soul is constantly being worn away and recovering.
The mind wanders in the void, sleepwalks in the universe.
Zhu Youji's condition has reached an unprecedented level.
The whole person is extremely relaxed.
The picture scroll written by the pen is also in this state, unconsciously continuing...
It wasn't until Zhu Youji stopped writing that he recovered from this dream-like state.
He looked at the stars in the universe in front of him, and his whole soul seemed to be sublimated.
It turned out that Zhu Youji agreed to discuss Taoism and chose to compete in painting just to fulfill Zhutler's dream.
A dream of defeating the master of painting and defeating the teacher of Jixia Academy.
Although this is just a moment in the life of the Sims, Zhu Youji also hopes to fulfill his dream and his own.
However, I didn't expect that due to a strange combination of circumstances, I actually gained huge benefits?
Zhu Youji did not expect this.
Is this because of the blessing of the observatory?
Or is it because it uses the stars in the universe to create special effects?
Zhu Youji didn't know.
He originally planned to paint Dongfang Canglong Qisu.
But...as I continued to draw, the stars of the universe from my previous life naturally appeared in my mind, and the vast expanse of heaven and earth emerged.
