"It's just that this painting is so magical, and the master once painted my portrait in Taiwei's Mansion. How dare you put this painting, your fortune, and your life in my hands?"
"As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw bones when painting people or tigers. You know the face of a person but not the heart. But if you want to draw the bones and expressions, you must first learn to see people before painting people, and you must learn to see tigers before painting tigers. Dou
Although a certain person does not have the spiritual ability of his ancestors, he still has his own experience in seeing and painting people." Master Dou bowed respectfully and said, "Although I have offended the immortal master, I also know from this that the immortal master has a great way to practice.
"We are no different from immortals and gods, with a calm mind and noble conduct. I feel that the immortal master will not covet Dou's painting."
As he spoke, he paused:
"What's more, I don't know how many Jianghu people are searching for traces of Dou in Beiqin Mountain at this time. Dou is desperate. If the immortal master really wants this painting, instead of giving it to them, it will either be destroyed or be taken away by the high officials.
It is better to give it to the immortal master than to be treasured by a noble person. Maybe it is a better place than leaving it in Dou's hands."
Song You smiled when he heard this.
Not happy, but interesting.
"This painting is really a masterpiece. It should be well preserved and passed on to future generations for thousands of years." The Taoist said, "The unique painting skills passed down by the master and his family should also be passed down."
"Master Immortal promises to help me?"
"I only hope that thousands of years from now, the world will still be able to see this painting, and that the Dou family's unique painting skills will still exist in the world."
"Dou Mou thanks the immortal master..."
"The master's method is related to painting."
"The immortal master is wise."
"tell me the story."
"This painting is related to the brushes left by our ancestors back then. With just a touch of the brush on the paper, people can walk into the painting and live among the mountains and rivers. It is like a real world inside. It is a bit smaller, but the east and west
There are more than ten miles of land in the distance, and dozens of miles in the north and south. There are more than 100,000 villagers in it, and Dou's wife is among them."
“What a paradise.”
"Dou can carry his luggage, enter the painting, and ask the immortal master to take the painting down the mountain and put it away properly. When the immortal master leaves Changjing in the future and travels around the world, wherever he goes, the immortal master thinks it is suitable, and he will use the brush to open the painting.
The world has released Dou." Master Dou said respectfully, "This painting is four feet long, and I have to trouble the immortal to carry it. If the immortal agrees, Dou will be grateful. If the immortal does not agree, Dou will also admit his misfortune.
"
"It's just a painting, not too much trouble."
"Thank you, Master Immortal."
Master Dou said that he was going to kneel down.
"It's just a small effort, not such a big gift." Song You helped him up, "What's more, this painting has an amazing aura and is extremely mysterious. If I can coexist with it for a while, I will not only be lucky, but I'm afraid I can also find a lot of insights and blessings from it.
, it will help me practice, and the benefits gained can be regarded as an exchange with the master."
Master Dou had already stood up, but was stunned again when he heard this.
He is not a stupid person.
It is already a great kindness for the immortal master to help you, but now you specifically say this, how great a kindness is it to take care of your own feelings?
I was speechless for a moment, so I had to salute again.
"Master, no."
"The kindness of the Immortal Master..."
"My surname is Song Mingyou. I practice in Fulong Temple, Lingquan County, Zhuo County, Yizhou. I am just a Taoist and cannot be called an immortal master." Song You corrected him now, "Master can just call me sir."
"Dou's name is Dou Xuan, and his nickname is Miaoxian. I was so frightened that I never reported my family status to the immortal master. I really shouldn't have done so. I ask the immortal master to forgive me."
"Master, please come into the painting." Song You didn't want to talk to him anymore, "It's still early, but after a while, I'm afraid someone from the Jianghu community will come looking for me."
"Okay, okay..."
Master Dou said yes repeatedly.
Then he took out a paintbrush that had not been used for who knows how many years from his luggage, unfolded the painting again, held the paintbrush, and just be careful on the painting.
Mysterious connections and great aura.
The Taoist's face was calm.
The little girl stretched her neck and stared intently.
The heroine who was further back also held a knife in both hands, leaning against the door, staring unblinkingly.
"This painting can only be opened from the outside. To use it, you only need to touch the drawing paper lightly with the pen. If the immortal master wants to enter the painting to find out what Dou is doing, please be sure to explain it in advance outside."
"Got it."
"Master Immortal's great kindness will always be remembered by Dou in his heart."
"..."
"Dou Mou will say goodbye for now."
This painting is more than half a person wide, almost as big as an ordinary door, and as long as a person. When hung, it looks like a door.
Master Dou handed the brush to Song You, picked up all the luggage except the box where the painting was placed, and walked towards the painting with the luggage under the watchful eyes of two people and one cat.
Mysterious and mysterious.
This painting seems to have really turned into a door, and the person actually walked through the painting paper and walked into the painting.
The woman opens her eyes wide, and the girl opens her eyes wide too.
All three people gathered around.
There is almost no change in the scenery in the painting, except that the returning geese in the sky have disappeared, the buffalo has changed its position, the dusk gray smoke spreading along the mountains in the distance has changed somewhat, and the village at the foot of the mountain is too small because it is too far away.
I can't see the difference clearly, but there is an additional figure nearby.
A middle-aged man with a thin body, carrying a suitcase, standing on the path, frozen.
"It's amazing!"
"Wow!!"
Both the woman and the girl were surprised.
The figure of the middle-aged man is still frozen in the painting.
The Taoist didn't answer and just put the painting away.
Halfway through receiving it, I suddenly paused and opened the painting to take another look.
The extra figure has walked some distance on the path. He seems worried and is still looking back. But he doesn't know what scenery he sees in the painting when he looks back.
Song You then put the painting away again and put it into the box.
The ancient paintbrush was left, I looked at it and put it in the box.
The brush does not have much aura and mystery. Maybe it was used by Mr. Dou back then, and it was indeed stained with aura, and it has almost dissipated now. It’s just that this painting was painted by this brush, so it is quite related, and the brush will naturally become
The key to unlocking the world in the painting.
But in fact, Song You doesn’t need it at all.
Although the creation that he received from Master Kong in Yizhou was different from the reality of painting, it also had many things in common. With this mysterious ability, Song You could open up the world in the painting.
Master Dou back then must have been the same. He had the ability to naturally open up the world in the painting, and he also had the ability to enter and exit freely. Even if he was in the painting, he could come out.
Now, others can only open it with a pen.
"..."
Song You shook his head, feeling regretful that he could not witness the grace of that master with his own eyes.
Without taking a single look at the painting, my heart feels itchy.
The heroine next to her then spoke:
"This painting is priceless."
"I'm afraid it's more than that."
"Are you really greedy at all?"
"No."
"You are indeed a master of Taoism."
"Is there any heroine?"
"Yes, it's big."
"oh?"
"I just never thought about fighting for it before, but this painting can last me eight lifetimes." Wu Nuxia shook her head and sighed, "If it weren't for you, I would have come here alone to find Doctor Cai and meet him, even if I didn't kill him
I want to snatch the painting away and exchange it for money."
"The heroine is calm."
"Do you really plan to take the painting back and wait until you leave Changjing to take it out, then release him and return it to him?"
"Having already promised, how can you go back on your word?"
"Too."
Wu Nuxia smiled. Wasn't it because they were able to meet each other in Lingbo back then because of their trustworthiness?
"I think his name is You Shenxian, that's right."
"No."
Naturally, this heroine didn't know that although Song You didn't covet this painting, she just took it back and hung it in her room. She often looked at it, felt the charm of the painting, and understood the mystery, which was already a huge benefit.
"How do you bring it down? Do you have that kind of... magic that can hold things in your sleeves?"
"No."
"Then how do you take it down? This box looks like it's for paintings. There are so many people on the mountain." Wu Nuxia said, "Oh, you are in Taiwei's house. I heard that there are many people who were knocked unconscious by you.
You are not afraid of the followers of Jianghu who are supported by the Taiwei Mansion."
"Not even close."
"Then do you still want to wait for the miracle doctor?"
"nature."
"OK!"
The two of them sat down again and hid the box.
Then I started to light a fire, boil water, and cook breakfast as planned last night, waiting for Dr. Cai to come back.
From time to time, Jianghu people came and asked what they were here for. The female hero said they were here to see Dr. Cai. Another person asked them if they had seen a thin middle-aged man. The female hero rushed to answer, saying no, these Jianghu people were here.
The man then left half-convinced, saving the Taoist from having to struggle between lying and causing trouble.
Speaking of which, I have to thank her a lot.
It gradually passed noon.
The little girl got bored of waiting and turned into a cat to catch rabbits and fish out wild eggs. Then she changed back again, broke off a twig and practiced writing on the dirt floor, or pestered a Taoist to teach her new words.
Wu Nuxia watched quietly from the side.
The sun is half tilted.
The Taoist peeled the hard-boiled wild eggs, ate the whites himself, and stuffed the yolks into the mouth of the little girl next to him.
"Well……"
The little girl sat on the threshold without looking at the Taoist. She just opened her mouth when he handed it to her and chewed it. Then she continued to stare at a few lines of writing on the ground. Before she finished eating, she muttered vaguely: "One to two or three miles."
, there are four or five houses in Yancun, six or seven pavilions, eighty or ninety hairs..."
"flower."
"Flower~"
After correcting the little girl, she turned to look at him, sensitive and studious: "What do you mean?"
"Don't you, Sanhua Empress, know the meaning of every word?"
"You don't know if you put it all together."
"Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning will become apparent to you."
"Want to read it a hundred times?"
"The righteousness will be revealed by itself."
"oh!"
After answering, the little girl actually started reading in a low voice, and counted carefully with her white and tender fingers.
The Taoist didn't care and let her read.
The woman next to him was still sitting holding the knife and asked him: "When did you start teaching her how to read?"
"soon."
"How long was that?"
"Maybe at the end of spring."
"Two months."
"almost."
"I know a lot of words."
"Sanhua Empress is very smart, and diligent and studious." Song You glanced at the girl next to him, and saw that the girl was also looking at him with squinting eyes. She also lowered her reading volume. When she saw him looking at her, she quickly turned her eyes.
He took it back and continued to read it carefully. He smiled and said, "I basically learned the characters I taught her in one go, and she was able to write well very quickly."
"Quite clever."
"yes."
It's so cute that children want to be praised.
"It's a good thing to learn more words."
"It's already mid-afternoon, Heroine, are you still waiting?"
"I can't wait any longer."
"Then I won't wait any longer."
"What do you say? Are you still going to Beiqin Mountain to find your snake fairy who is destined to be a master?"
"This trip is enough, so I won't go."
"Aren't you going now?"
"Go again later."
"When will it be next?"
"Probably winter."
"How to say?"
"This mountain is vast and the scenery must be very beautiful in winter."
The Taoist replied like this, he had dug out the box containing the painting, carried it on his back, called the girl, and went down the mountain with her.
