When Sun Mo followed Lu Zhiruo to the cabin, he had already heard the entire process from her. He also saw the little maid.
"Greetings, Teacher Sun!"
The little maid greeted. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, resembling a pair of large walnuts.
"Teacher, that painting is here!"
Lu Zhiruo pulled Sun Mo to the table.
Sun Mo actually wanted to say that if it was an ordinary painting, he could still copy it. But a famous painting wasn't something that could be drawn just because he wanted to. However, when he saw Lu Zhiruo's gaze of worship, Sun Mo really couldn't bring himself to say the words' impossible '.
"This is a landscape painting. The name of the artist is Wu Yezi!"
Li Ziqi introduced, "Wu Yezi is from Linchuan and has been learning painting since he was young. It's said that when he was 19 years old, he didn't sleep or rest at all in the snow, drawing the Winter Snow Painting for seven days straight.
"He's even a famous person?"
Sun Mo frowned. Then what the hell was he going to do? Many people would definitely know about the painting of such a famous person. If he were to copy it, even a small mistake would be discovered.
"Wu Yezi's famous paintings are very valuable. Hence, I reckon that this painting was just drawn and not many people know about it. That's why the Jinling Governor would use the opportunity of the Deer Tail Banquet to show it off."
Li Ziqi introduced.
"Is there any other way to save her?"
Sun Mo admired the famous painting.
This was a painting of a wealthy and leisurely life. It belonged to the category of a landscape painting.
In the distance, there were mountains as far as the eye could see. A thousand-foot waterfall cascaded down and flowed past a wheat field. In this tranquil land of peach blossoms, there was a humble room.
The moss on the stairs was green, and the grass was green!
No one could be seen in the painting, but a pair of shoes could be seen placed in front of the door.
"It does have a hint of the elegance of a pretentious person!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. He was a famous artist now. Hence, he understood the meaning of this painting after taking a few glances.
This was a high official who was either unemployed or retired. He built a straw house in a secluded land of peach blossoms and lived the life of a farmer.
Why was he a high official?
Because the style of the shoes was something that only rich people could afford to wear.
In modern terms, it was like a tycoon with billions of assets or some major character who ran to the Zhongnan Mountains and built a straw house to live alone, pursuing elegance and elegance.
"I'm so bored that it hurts!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
"Teacher, can you draw it?"
The papaya girl asked.
The little maid sobbed. She looked at Sun Mo with her final hope.
"You can copy it, but you definitely won't be able to produce the same effect as a famous painting."
Sun Mo knew his own standard. Currently, he had grasped two different branches of traditional painting. One of them was at the grandmaster-grade for portrait painting, while the other was at the elementary-grade for landscape painting.
Of course, Sun Mo still had time emblems that could increase his proficiency index. However, he didn't harbor any hope.
"Teacher, you don't have to be humble. Her life is in your hands!"
Lu Zhiruo waved her little fist. She was even more confident than Sun Mo.
"Teacher, I have prepared the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
Li Ziqi didn't feel that Sun Mo could succeed, but she had done all the necessary preparations.
"System, use three time emblems to upgrade my landscape painting skills!"
Honestly speaking, he felt a little heartache. However, after seeing the little maid's miserable and helpless expression, he would accept it even if he had to use ten time emblems.
Ding!
"Congratulations, the proficiency index of your traditional painting technique, landscape painting branch, has been raised to the grandmaster-grade!"
The system congratulated him.
Sun Mo picked up the brush and brewed his emotions for a while before starting to draw. His grandmaster-grade drawing skills allowed Sun Mo to draw as though he had the help of the gods. He could easily depict what he was thinking in his heart and what he saw in his eyes.
"Teacher is so impressive!"
Lu Zhiruo was agitated as she watched the Riches and Honor Solitary Residence Painting taking shape.
Even the little maid was so nervous that she couldn't breathe. She stared at the paper.
"Teacher's drawing skills are truly impressive!"
Seeing that Sun Mo had copied it perfectly, Li Ziqi also felt anticipation for him. However, as the painting was completed halfway, her heart gradually sank.
As expected, when two-thirds of the painting was completed, Sun Mo tossed the brush aside in frustration. He stretched his hand out to grab the paper and crumpled it into a ball.
"Ah?"
Lu Zhiruo didn't understand. "Why did you crumple it? I think it looks quite good! "
"It hasn't reached the Wondrous Blossom realm."
Li Ziqi explained.
If one couldn't reach this realm, the painting wouldn't be able to be colored. Hence, it was useless even if the painting was exactly the same. In this era, there was only black paint. Hence, if one wanted to have all seven colors, the only way was to 'Wondrous Blossom'.
Next, Sun Mo drew another two, but he gave up halfway.
Li Ziqi glanced at the sky and her countenance turned heavy. Although her teacher was drawing very fast, it was getting late and the banquet was about to start. There wasn't much time left for him.
"Teacher, which part of these paintings are you not satisfied with?"
The papaya girl asked.
"They are quite well drawn and the concept is passable as well. However, they are still quite far from perfection."
It wasn't that Sun Mo looked down on Wu Yezi's words.
It was like how some people didn't like the popularity of the Replica Couplet. You couldn't possibly say that the standard of these people wasn't good, right?
"In that case, you should just draw according to the perfect feeling in Teacher's heart!"
Lu Zhiruo spoke as though it was a matter of course.
"What are you talking about?"
Ying Baiwu was speechless. "Teacher wants to copy this painting, how can he draw it according to his own thoughts?"
The iron-headed girl actually felt a little resentful towards the papaya girl. She kept finding trouble for her teacher that was impossible to accomplish.
"Why can't I?"
The papaya girl blinked her eyes.
Ying Baiwu turned her head. She was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Lu Zhiruo. Even if she didn't know how to draw, she knew that when copying calligraphy or famous paintings, one had to follow the original author's train of thought. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called copying.
"Zhiruo, copying..."
Li Ziqi started to impart this general knowledge to Lu Zhiruo.
However, Sun Mo's eyes brightened because of the papaya girl's words. (That's right, why must I rigidly adhere to Wu Yezi's concept?)
Wasn't his painting expressing the lofty sentiments of a major character who had retired?
After thinking of this, Sun Mo started to draw.
He didn't want to follow Wu Yezi's concept and drew it according to his own thoughts. However, the overall layout of the painting didn't change. This meant that Sun Mo was still using the same painting, but the core of the expression had been changed to his own.
With such flexibility, Sun Mo instantly grasped that concept.
The mountain didn't matter if it was tall or not.
After working, Sun Mo would sometimes have gatherings to socialize. He truly didn't want to go, but he had no choice. He could no longer do as he pleased.
The water didn't matter if it was tall or not.
Actually, Sun Mo's pursuit was very simple. He wanted to do the work he liked and earn a salary that could support his family.
Why must he force himself to go with the flow? To live like a dog?
Bzz!
The tip of Sun Mo's brush lit up with a layer of fluorescent light. Everywhere it passed by, the ink left behind on the paper also started to glow.
Some motes of light floated over and gathered on the painting, causing this' Riches and Honor, Solitary Life Painting 'to instantly become brighter.
The little maid, who was originally in despair, directly bit her right hand when she saw this scene. It was very painful, but she still exerted more force.
Because she felt that this was a dream and that she hadn't woken up yet. It was because she didn't bite hard enough!
"Success! Success! "
Lu Zhiruo grabbed Li Ziqi's arm and shook it with all her might. She was so agitated that her face was covered in sweat. "I knew that Teacher was omnipotent!"
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo + 500. Reverence (24150/100000).
"Is this something a human can do?"
Li Ziqi was stunned.
Compared to a naive little girl like the papaya girl, Li Ziqi knew how difficult it was for Sun Mo to achieve this step.
The little sunny egg believed that her teacher would be able to draw out a famous painting by himself. However, this was just copying.
It was like if you took Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and wrote the [Preface to the Collection of Orchid Pavilions] that was even more beautiful than the original author. Was this possible?
"..."
Ying Baiwu didn't know what expression she should have.
Sun Mo held the brush in his right hand and pulled his sleeves with his left hand to avoid touching the painting.
(This is a humble house, but my virtue is the fragrance!)
Every time after working overtime, Sun Mo wanted to quietly stay in his little nest, drinking iced cola and playing games to his heart's content. He didn't want his parents to nag him, and he didn't want his girlfriend to give him advice.
Eh!
(What am I thinking about?
Quickly wake up. You're a single dog, how can you have a girlfriend?)
Sun Mo entered a state where he forgot himself, venting all the emotions and worries in his heart.
(Why do I have to follow those established rules?)
(Why can't I live a carefree and unrestrained life?)
(I really want a little nest, even if it's only a few square meters. In there, I'm the heavens, I'm the earth, I'm the ruler of my life!)
Swish!
For the last stroke, Sun Mo drew a stalk of tender grass that couldn't be touched by the wind. After that, he retracted his brush and took a few steps back, quietly admiring his work.
The coloring continued. Because this was a famous painting and it was Sun Mo's Wondrous Blossom, there were some places that were different from the original.
"Wow, it's done!"
Lu Zhiruo happily jumped onto Sun Mo's back. "Teacher is so awesome!"
"He would be able to see through this!"
Sun Mo shook his head.
"Teacher, you're thinking too much. The Jinling Governor definitely wouldn't think that someone could copy a famous painting. Hence, he would only think that he remembered the different details wrongly."
Li Ziqi had a self-mocking smile. In any case, if it was her, she would definitely not believe it if she didn't see it with her own eyes. "Oh right, Teacher, it's Wu Yezi!"
Sun Mo added on the signature.
"It's done? It's really done? "
Because the little maid was too happy, there was no expression on her face.
"That's right, it's done. You don't have to die anymore!"
Lu Zhiruo consoled.
Li Ziqi started to dismantle the original painting and used a scroll to frame the new one. Although it might be seen through, she still had to work hard.
"I've done my best!"
Sun Mo looked at the little maid with a smile on his face. He consoled her, "Although it might not be as precious and famous as that Grandmaster Wu Yezi, it's still a famous painting. It's impossible to buy it on the market."
"Teacher, I feel that this painting of yours is better than the one earlier!"
Lu Zhiruo spoke. This wasn't because she loved the house and its crow. Rather, she truly felt this way.
"Yes, in terms of concept, Teacher's painting is able to cause a resonance in me!"
Li Ziqi commented.
"Yes, yes, I feel it too!"
The little maid hurriedly nodded. For Wu Yezi's famous painting, if one wasn't a major character in the imperial court or a retired high official, they wouldn't have such a mental state. However, Sun Mo's painting was different. After all, he was just an ordinary person.
