Last time I went to the southwest with two other imperial envoys, I took an official ship that could go to sea. The ship was thick and had a reinforced hull. I put more thought into it and less about enjoying it.
When he arrived at the boat hall and saw the rich flower hall, Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh: "This is a good place for painting."
"Who says it's not the case? When you have nothing to do, you can come here and paint here. The view is wide and there are windows to enjoy the scenery. You don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun on the deck. It is really an elegant place." Luo Pei smiled.
Su Ziji also smiled, not really taking what he said seriously.
At this time, a painting table was set up in front of Liu Zhan. It was a wide and flat mahogany table, and a large piece of drawing paper was spread out. Liu Zhan thought for a moment, then directly picked up the pen and painted like a dragon and a snake.
stand up.
Su Ziji and Luo Pei both arrived at this time and looked at him painting as if no one else was watching. The painting was also strange. It looked like a landscape, but there were layers of people inside.
The upper level of the heavenly maidens and immortal officials becomes poorer as you go down, and the hell below becomes even more gloomy and hairy.
It has to be said that Liu Zhan is very good at Taoism and is also outstanding at Danqing.
Su Ziji could see that when he was painting, this man was very cool and unrestrained, and he also had a kind of force, as if his murderous aura and strong character were all integrated into the painting.
This kind of painting that has always been full of aura is more appreciated by animation people than paintings that only have originality.
Not to mention, Liu Zhan not only has aura in painting, but also has skills.
Luo Pei read it and praised: "The real person's painting skills are indeed the essence of the eight Wei masters. The painting with dry brush is majestic and unique. It is really a rare and good painting!"
Su Ziji also nodded secretly.
Luo Pei's praise is not exaggerated. This landscape painting has not been finished yet, but it already gives people a sense of majesty and grandeur.
As for the eight Wei families mentioned by Luo Pei, Su Ziji, as a scholar, certainly knew about them.
The Eight Great Painters of the Wei Dynasty refer to the eight famous painters of the previous dynasty. In fact, they are not from the same era, but they are basically famous painters who appeared a hundred years before the founding of the Wei Dynasty.
Because he had many disciples and disciples, in the years that followed, the school developed to such an extent that when a scholar studied painting, he had to learn one or two of them to avoid being laughed at.
After the fall of the Wei Dynasty and the establishment of the Zheng Dynasty, the literati of the Zheng Dynasty collectively called these painters who were active for hundreds of years during the heyday of the Wei Dynasty the Eight Great Masters, that is, the Eight Great Masters of Wei.
Liu Zhan's painting style is quite similar to the style of Liu Daoyuan in the eight families of Wei, and because both of them are named Liu, Su Ziji can't help but wonder whether Liu Zhan is related to Liu Daoyuan.
Seeing that the painting was about to be finished, he was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Luo Pei ask: "A good painting like this should be paired with a good poem. I wonder if you have any poems to match this painting?"
Su Ziji thought for a moment: "There is indeed a poem, but it may not match this painting."
Then he chanted:
"Government consists in tolerating the people and punishing the traitors, and tolerating the harsh and cruel."
"The old and young in the east are harmonious, but all the people in the west are sick."
"Thousands of people can't even hear it, and the two commanders are sitting as if they were idle."
"Have you ever known, if you pass by this place, that hell and heaven are just around the corner?"
After chanting, he sighed: "It's a pity that I can't do calligraphy well, so I won't show off my shame much."
I wrote this poem on rice paper with a pen.
"It's actually a good poem!" Luo Pei read it twice and praised: "You said it doesn't match the painting, but I think it still matches. Heaven and hell are so close, isn't it in the hearts of you and me?"
"If you have a heart for all people, you will be kind even if you kill. If you don't have a heart for the people, it will be hell not only for yourself, but also for all people. I think this poem can be mentioned in a painting."
"One Confucianism and one Confucianism set off each other."
But he smiled again: "It's just your calligraphy. Hey, I heard you say that you are not good at calligraphy before, and I thought you were being modest. From this point of view, it is a bit far from your talent."
"Although it is good, it is okay for official documents, but not enough for talents."
As he spoke, he picked up his pen and wrote a few words.
Even though it was just a few words of advice, Su Ziji benefited immediately.
"Luo Pei taught you "Kuai Xue Shi Qing Tie", did he transform [Guange Style] into [Calligraphy]?"
"yes!"
"[Calligraphy] Level 11 (335/11000)"
This made Su Ziji a little surprised. After all, he was lacking in calligraphy, and precious original copybooks were hard to find. Most of the copybooks circulating on the market were photocopies.
Not only in calligraphy, but also in Danqing, Su Ziji also received information.
"Liu Zhan taught you the Yin Guan Cave Heaven Map, do you want to learn from it?"
"yes."
"Acquire the ink painting technique of the Liu school in the eight schools of Wei, transform [ink painting] into [painting], +1000, level 11 (2655/11000)"
Due to the sudden increase in experience, Su Ziji's understanding of the ink painting of Liu's school among the eight Wei schools has been greatly improved, but this is not the end yet.
"It's not that I wasn't prepared to talk about Taoism, but in the end, I passed on my core secret. With 3000 experience points, I mastered the Jianggong Zhenzhuan Dan method in no time."
Su Ziji was a little speechless. If he just talked about ordinary Taoism, he might not have gained so much. He had experience in this, but then he thought about it, who could see the secret in this picture?
It's only me.
After thinking about it and carefully analyzing the information that came with the experience, Su Ziji's expression suddenly changed and he took a deep look at Liu Zhan.
"What, the core of Yin Guan Sect is Yin Guan Cave Heaven. This is the core of Yin Guan Sect. Only the headmaster or the elders know it."
"It turns out that the cave sky hangs down, but it is connected to the underworld. So there really is an underworld in this world?"
"That's all. The picture turns out to be real. It's divided layer by layer and tortured below. In fact, it's not punishing the guilty souls, but the Demon Refining Tower. It's just the reverse tower."
"The so-called alchemist means that there are no supernatural beings in the world, only monsters. Therefore, he can kill monsters and take the demon elixir to make elixirs. Therefore, he has various special effects and is highly valued by the government and the court."
"The Yin Guan sect has gone a step further. Many generations of real people have turned the entire cave into an alchemy furnace. It can kill monsters. Not only the demon pills, but also the demon souls will be inhaled. After being tempered by hell, there is a chance that they can be transformed into alchemy furnaces.
Aura.”
"This... is really a bit crazy."
"No wonder the Yin Guan sect and Liu Zhan hate the demon clan so much, and they also look at the Dragon Girl. If they refine the Dragon Girl, how much benefit will they get?"
"No, Dragon Girl is in danger."
Su Ziji suppressed his heart palpitations and pretended to ask for advice. Luo Pei keenly discovered that Su Ziji was easy to understand. He was not only eager to learn, but also really talented. He suddenly became more and more fond of this new champion.
Liu Zhan did not show his impatience this time, but responded and even asked Su Ziji: "You are very talented in Danqing. Didn't you concentrate on studying before?"
After receiving Su Ziji's reply, Liu Zhan advised: "Although painting is mostly a way to cultivate one's sentiments, it is a pity to waste one's talent. If you have time in the future, you can focus more on it."
For Liu Zhan, this was considered sincerity. Luo Pei laughed and pointed: "I didn't expect you to be such a good teacher in Danqing School!"
Su Ziji responded repeatedly and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He just wanted to go back and sort out the new information carefully.
