Chapter Forty-Fifth: The Wonderful Colors of Danqing Transform the West Sea, and the Jade Girl Turns Yang into Yin and Returns to Yin (Part 1)
The spirit painter is one of the hundreds of weapon refiners.
The weapon-making process encompasses everything, including swords, spears, halberds, wheels, pins, sticks and rulers, carillons, drums and flutes, robes or beads, scrolls, flags and flags...
The various magic weapons used by monks have completely different production methods.
Swords, guns, swords and halberds are mostly made of spiritual gold and are mainly refined by fire.
The harp is a stringed instrument, which requires special techniques to play the harp.
The cassocks worn by monks are made of spiritual silk and auspicious clouds, and then cut and made into garments. The technique is different from that of ordinary gold and stone refining.
The production methods of boats, shuttles and palace gates are even more complicated and profound.
In addition to the masters of weapon refining who "know one method and know all the methods" and know hundreds of weapon refining techniques, generally new weapon makers will choose one to study.
Spiritual painters are the general term for monks who make paintings and other magic weapons. In terms of techniques, there are schools such as painting, carving, gold casting, flower stickers, Juan embroidery, and divine refining.
Henghua stared at Ji Mingfeng's folding fan: "Are you from the Danqing school? That's right, only the Danqing school is as elegant as the painting."
The line of Linghua paintings was originally created by a mortal painter. One day, he was painting paintings by the river and incorporated the scenery in front of him into one picture.
When the river map is completed, the will of heaven and earth will bless it, and a magic weapon will be created.
After that, he became the original spiritual painter, depicting the heaven and earth with pictures. He painted the pictures of treasures and put them into the foundation, he drew the pictures of the spiritual weapons and put them into the golden elixir, and he painted the pictures of the immortal weapons and reached immortality in one step.
Because this lineage requires superb painting skills, it often selects celebrities from the secular world and painters as disciples. Henghua Guanji Mingfeng's literary spirit is meaningful, elegant and peaceful, so he knows that he is an elegant and famous person in the world.
But thinking back to Ji Mingfeng's request, Henghua had a headache.
The superior treasure map and the cultivation color used in the spiritual map are made of Wuhua Tianbao mixed with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Where can Henghua find that kind of thing? How can he have that thing on his body?
He is not a color researcher who specializes in providing colors for spiritual painters.
After thinking for a while, Henghua reluctantly said, "You want Yan Cai to paint? Can you tell me more specifically?"
Ji Mingfeng took out an unfinished work.
This is a picture of the vast sea. Placing it in front of Henghua's eyes, it feels like he is visiting the West Sea in person. The sound of the tide mixed with the unique smell of the sea hits his face.
Plop——
A large whale rose slowly ahead, spouting towering water jets.
Henghua quickly closed his eyes and withdrew from the spirit map.
Looking at this picture again, the sky is blank and has not been filled in with color.
"The Xuanwei School has the 'Nine Colors of Zhan Qingcai', and the sky it draws can reflect a variety of colors in addition to its original color, reflecting the vastness of the sky."
Henghua heard this and silently communicated with Zhou Xiao.
When Zhou Xiao heard the words "Nine-faced Zhanqingcai", he recalled it for a long time before nodding silently.
"The Xuanwei Sect really seems to have this thing. It is a legacy of the Taixuan Sect from the Shenzhou era. But..."
He glanced at Fu Xuanxing, who was secretly talking to Fu Xiangfeng.
"A few years ago, there were some naughty younger people who were ignorant and used this stuff to smear it randomly. It has been used up."
Henghua learned from the wind that Zhou Xiao had replied and immediately informed Ji Mingfeng.
"Gone?"
"What Senior Zhou said is definitely true. I guess all Xuanwei Sect can give is a prescription."
Ji Mingfeng's face darkened.
The production of Lingyuan Yancai is similar to that of making alchemy, the process is very complicated. Especially for high-quality Yancai, the workmanship requires several years or even decades.
Ji Mingfeng asked himself, even if he got the prescription, he wouldn't be able to make it.
"But even if you have the recipe, you probably won't be able to make it, right? I've never seen a professional color researcher. Forgive me for my limited knowledge."
Ji Mingfeng sighed melancholy: "I haven't seen it either."
The color researcher versus the spiritual painter is similar to the metallurgist versus the gold and stone refiner, but the situation is completely different.
Gold weapons are, after all, the main faction of the weapon refining branch. As long as you study weapon making, you will definitely be involved in the production of metal magic weapons. From large swords to small golden needles, no matter what you do, you can dabble in it.
But Ling Painter is a special person in the field of making weapons. It is rarer than gold and jade utensils, silk and bamboo musical instruments, and cloud silk robes.
Not to mention the color researchers who work as a front-end for spiritual painters.
If you meet ten masters of metallurgy, you will most likely meet one or two people who are good at metallurgy. But if you meet ten masters of metallurgy, you may not meet even one master of color research.
The practice of Color Analyzers is even more bizarre than that of Spirit Painters. They believe that all things in the world are transformed by Yuan Qi, and each type of Yuan Qi has its own color. Color Analyzers enter the Tao with colors and seal the true spiritual power in Yan Cai. If they encounter a battle
, then use the color with corresponding attributes to fight against the enemy.
For example, green, red, yellow, white and black correspond to the base of the five elements. Sprinkling red color can attract fire. Black color can attract mysterious water.
Ji Mingfeng has been practicing for nearly a thousand years and has never met a serious color researcher in his life.
In desperation, he had no choice but to learn color research techniques on his own.
Henghua looked at "The Picture of the Western Sea" and thought: "I have also read two books on studying the color fairy method."
""Five Elements of Ten Thousand Colors" and "Lingcai Entering Immortality Technique"?"
"Yes. Have you read it too?"
Ji Mingfeng said quietly: "Five hundred years ago, I spent my own efforts to print three thousand copies and sent these two sets of books to major waters. The purpose..."
Henghua looked at Ji Mingfeng sympathetically. He understood that it was for the purpose of cultivating color researchers. But unfortunately, this was your industry's own fault and you couldn't rely on others.
When Henghua heard about the "Color Researcher", a strange practice method of "entering the Tao through color", he studied it specially.
He read through ancient books and finally came to the conclusion that the Color Researcher was a profession of monks that was involved in the spiritual painter's death.
Also a type of monk who provides materials.
The metallurgical Taoist helps the tool maker purify the spiritual ore so as to harvest it. He can also sell the compound gold essence he developed to the tool maker in exchange for spiritual materials such as pearls and jade elixirs.
A metallurgist has to deal with dozens or hundreds of tool makers.
But when it came to Yancai, they hoped to establish relationships with hundreds of spiritual painters. But when the spiritual painters of the Chinese era gathered together, they might not be able to find a hundred spiritual painters.
Among these spiritual painters, those in the Jinzhu lineage cast gold essence into iron coupons and carved on the surface of the iron coupons. Painters in the Jinxiu lineage used silk threads to embroider pictures on Yunjin gold silk. These two types of painters need the materials
The providers are Taoist Metallurgist and Yunsi Weaver Girl.
Danqing Yanhua is the only one that really requires a color master to blend colors.
This type of spiritual painter could be counted on a per-person basis during the Shenzhou period. Without a market, the profession of color researcher would naturally not be able to continue. It was incredible, and the color researcher could maintain only three or five people.
However, Linghua painters are all elegant in nature, and they also make paints themselves in their spare time. Their skills are not as good as those of regular color grinders, but low-level materials do not need to be provided by color grinders.
Without low-level materials to practice with, how can the Color Researcher train successors? Moreover, the successors they train may not be as skilled as the Danqing Ling Painter.
Without the help of spiritual painters, the profession of color grinder gradually declined. When the last color grinder passed away, the entire method of color grinding and becoming immortal has been lost.
Ji Mingfeng rarely met a knowledgeable person, so he couldn't help but drag Henghua to complain.
"You don't know that I have only met eight fellow spiritual painters since I started practicing. Two of them are engaged in gold carving, one is engaged in embroidery, and two are from the Shenlian sect. Although the remaining three are all us
He is of the same lineage as Danqing, but he has never seen a color researcher."
"I read through many ancient books and restored two techniques of studying color and cultivating immortality. However, after being spread for five hundred years, no one has practiced it."
Henghua kept a polite smile. Nonsense, it is difficult for a color researcher to enter Taoism, and it is even harder to achieve Taoism. According to the colors of green, red, yellow, white and black, he uses the colors of the five elements to make Lingyuan Yancai Chengdan. The effort required is more troublesome than that of a Taoist metallurgist.
He nodded to show his listening while studying "Picture of the Western Sea".
Suddenly, Henghua pointed at a few shallow marks on the sky.
"What you are describing is the West Sea at night? There was originally a moon in the sky?"
Ji Mingfeng's expression changed: "Can you tell?"
The manuscript of "Picture of the West Sea" was originally written by him when he came to the West Sea one night and watched the color of the West Sea. However, Ji Mingfeng could not come up with the pigments needed to outline the bright moon. He was eager to complete the volume of "Picture of the West Sea", so he wrote the manuscript
A slight modification was made to the scene of a clear sky and blue dome.
"I have done some research on the art of spiritual painting."
Later, Henghua added in his mind: It's just that I'm from the Sculpture and Divine Refining sect.
Keji Mingfeng's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"That's right, you acting mages are the best at reading and have a wide range of knowledge. You must have studied our spiritual painting technology. How about, help me think about it. How should I practice next? Help me calculate the techniques?"
The spiritual painter's practice lies in their paintings.
By incorporating a scene of heaven and earth into the scroll, the corresponding power can be activated. The more treasure maps and spiritual maps created, the stronger their power will be.
If the volume of the Western Sea Map in front of me can be completed, Ji Mingfeng can advance further in his cultivation. When fighting with others, he can evolve the Western Sea Domain.
"Help me find replacement materials, and I will let you go, and all grudges will be eliminated in the future.
"Help me complete the map of the West Sea and help me break through the bottleneck. In the future, my little brother will be my friend. I dare not mention the thirteen waters, Yanshui, Yuanming, Tianyang, Huanglong, I will keep you safe.
"If it can help me become an immortal through painting and enter the realm of calamity, I can follow Li Nanxing's example and call me "teacher".
"If I can reach the sky in one step and soar to the sky, my brother will be my reborn parents."
Heng Hua rolled his eyes: "Fellow Taoist, help me achieve elixir through the method of acting. I regard you as my brother."
"Help me perform the magic and become the Tribulation Immortal. I respect you as my teacher.
"Help me improve my Taoist career and complete my spiritual practice. You will be my reborn parents."
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed, feeling quite sympathetic to each other.
Yes, the road is bumpy and bumpy, and no matter where you go, reaching the top is not easy.
To practice as a spiritual painter, you need to draw spiritual pictures and fairy pictures, and the color requirements are extremely high. Acting as a mage is equally difficult.
Because he has read a lot of books and his energy is scattered, the higher Master Yan goes in his practice, the more his knowledge and vision become more complicated and his energy becomes less and less.
Fu Xuanxing and Fu Xuanxing were leaning against the wind, enjoying the cool breeze and looking at the two people chatting and laughing on the boat.
"Brother Fu, is it possible for Brother Fu Liu to have such a good conversation with the other party? Didn't you say that this is the third party who came to stop him? It seems that he can get rid of it amicably?"
"Maybe." Fu Xiangfeng saw the two of them talking enthusiastically and murmured in his heart: What on earth did Xiao Liu'er talk to him about? Can we leave? If we don't leave, the fourth group of people will catch up later.
"By the way, I've thought of a way."
Henghua chatted for a while, then an idea flashed through him.
"You might as well try the combo chart?"
"Composition? Present a picture in the form of a combined picture scroll."
"Yes." Henghua pointed to the "Western Sea Picture" and said: "You are very skilled in painting, and you can incorporate the artistic conception of the entire Western Sea into one picture. Therefore, you need the best color to accommodate and record this artistic conception. But if you retreat and seek
Secondly, use three, five or even more pictures to record the scene of the West Sea. Finally, use the "Technology of Combination" to fuse the pictures. In this way, even if the color quality is lower, you can complete the picture of the West Sea.
"
Combination composition?
Henghua's point made Ji Mingfeng's heart beat fast.
When he was a mortal, he played with many combination pictures. There were spring, summer, autumn and winter, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, pictures of hundreds of beauties, pictures of hundred blessings, etc.
But as I enter Taoism through painting, I prefer to incorporate all Taoism into one picture.
This is similar to Master Yan's philosophy of "exploring all the ways and becoming one".
Bringing everything into one has been the tradition of Dan Qing Ling painters for many years.
"Indeed, the environment is different. Back then, the master had a high-level appearance and could accommodate Taoism. But in our generation, it is natural to ask for changes."
Ji Mingfeng's aura changes.
Henghua watched helplessly as the "Western Sea Map" in front of him was divided into seven, turning into seven smaller seascapes. The sky was also blank, and there were also patches of white space in other places on the map.
Ji Mingfeng flicked his sleeves and robe, and a colorful jade lotus flower as big as a basin appeared. Each petal bloomed with a spiritual color.
No need for a paintbrush, just controlled by Ji Mingfeng's magic power, the colors automatically flew into the seascape, smearing out streaks of color.
The West Sea where the sun shines, the West Sea where it is quiet at night, the West Sea where the waves surge into the sky, the West Sea where the waves are calm...
Each of the seven sea charts has a different mood, and when combined together, it forms a complete scene of the West Sea.
When the seven seascape paintings are completed, the artistic conception of the roaring sea is revealed from each painting.
At this time, Ji Mingfeng looked at Henghua.
Henghua recited the formula of the art of matching.
Ji Mingfeng cast a spell according to the spell and merged the seven pictures into one.
Boom——
Pillars of air erupted from the water surface, and the image of the Western Sea slowly unfolded on the water surface.
"I'm done."
Ji Ming's heart was filled with joy, and he silently realized the meaning of Xihai Dao.
It will take three days to refine this set of scrolls.
At this time, he felt something in his heart and saw a group of people flying in the distance.
The sleeves of the robe were rolled up again, and the Cailuan Lingfang was lifted directly onto the waves.
"Brother, please get on your way quickly, the enemy is coming."
Mana sent Henghua to the Lingfang, and then sent Zhou Xiao, Fu Xuanxing, Fu Xiangfeng, Fu Heyi, Xiaoyu, and Hengshou into the boat. With a strong push, the Lingfang sailed towards the north.
"Wait, my golden hoop——"
Seeing this, Xu Wenyu didn't care to talk to Cheng Yuliang and others, and quickly chased after them.
Ji Mingfeng pulled him to his side: "Don't worry, we will catch up tomorrow and help me give the good brother of the Fu family something to avoid disaster."
Xu Wenyu saw those figures in the distance.
In addition to the dense demonic aura, there are also several large ships hanging with the flags of the Wei family.
After taking a look at the people on the island, Ji Mingfeng smiled and said: "These people come with bad intentions. After all, I have some cause and effect with you. I will help you repel these people and protect Dilie Island. By the way, help my brother to block them.
