Lei Yue did not look at the person who spoke. He continued to look at the blue sky outside the door and said, "Why not?"
"The Lei family's Dragon Ascending Stone was given to our Lei family by the Dragons. It is the protection of Ancestor Lei. How can we lose it to an outsider? Why don't you go to the Dragon Palace and ask for an ordinary Dragon Ascending Stone for Fang Yun? I don't think he will dare to say anything. If he dares to argue, use Ancestor Lei's relic and ask the Dragons to ban him from the Dragon Ascending Stage. "
One person said unhappily, "Although the Dragons and Ancestor Lei's relationship is so deep that we don't know how deep it is, using Ancestor Lei's relic for a mere Dragon Ascending Stone is not taking Ancestor Lei seriously."
"That's right. Ancestor Lei's relic cannot be used casually. No matter how deep the relationship is, there will be a time when it will be used up."
"What's more, Ancestor Lei's relic can even kill a Half-saint. Our Lei family has only used it twice in hundreds of years. We can't use it for this matter!"
That person said, "I don't really want to use Ancestor Lei's relic. I just want to leak some information. I think the Dragons will give me some face."
"Fang Yun's imperial poem is very helpful to the Dragons. The Dragons may not give him face. After Chinese Valentine's Day, I went to the Dragon Palace to ask the Dragons about their attitude towards Fang Yun. The princess firmly refused. It seems that the Dragons do not think that Whale King is worthy of punishment for helping him kill our Lei family. "
Everyone was silent.
Lei Yue said, "I did not agree to you asking the Great Scholar Nangong Lengwen to suppress Fang Yun. However, I did not stop you because you wanted to restore the Lei family's honor. In the end, we bet on the Lei family's Dragon Ascending Stone. The Lei family is already riding a tiger and it seems that they have a good chance of winning. However, the Lei family is humiliated. Now, who has a way to solve the problem of our Lei family's reputation? "
The Lei family looked at each other. No one spoke.
"It's not humiliating if you lose. It's humiliating if you can't afford to lose. This matter is over. The Dragon Ascending Stone already belongs to Fang Yun. I will ask for another one. "
Some of the Lei family members looked at each other with gloomy expressions.
After a long time. The members of the Lei family walked out of the meeting hall one after another. The four elders walked together slowly.
"My grandson died tragically because of Fang Yun. We can't afford to offend the Whale King, and I don't want to do anything to Fang Yun. However, he has to confess his sins in front of his grave! "
"Although the situation was complicated, Fang Yun should plead guilty."
"Fang Yun is in the limelight, and we can't make a move openly. What should we do?"
"Soon, the Ten Nations Grand Tournament of the Ten Nations and the Confucius Academy will be held. If he knows what's good for him, he will leave the Upper House. I can't do anything to him, but since he has joined the Upper Dormitory, he has to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. This is my chance! I will personally make a trip to Jingguo and promise some benefits to Jingguo's Left Chancellor, Mount Liu. I won't ask for anything else. As long as Fang Yun dares to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, I will definitely have a way to pin the blame for Jingguo's defeat on him! "
"Jingguo has been defeated year after year, and the Ten Nations Grand Tournament is a test of the strength of many people. Fang Yun may be able to hold on with his own strength in the beginning. However, he will definitely not be able to enter the top three or even the top five. If we can use this to deal a blow to Fang Yun's Literary Name, it will be a safe way. "
"Yes. I don't want to deal a heavy blow to Fang Yun. I just want to ruin his Literary Name to comfort my grandson in heaven! As for who will use this matter to pursue the matter in the future, it will have nothing to do with the Lei family. Besides, we can add fuel to the fire at the beginning and lift Fang Yun up high. Once he falls, the effect will be better. "
"Wonderful!"
"After the matter is done, he better know when to back off and return the Lei family's Dragon Ascension Stone. Then, the Lei family can give him an ordinary Dragon Ascension Stone. If he doesn't know when to back off, don't blame us. "
"Get rid of the Dragons. Among the humans, demons, and barbarians, the Lei family knows the Dragon Ascension Platform the best. It won't hurt to punish him a little in the Dragon Ascension Platform. "
Everyone smiled and walked away.
In front of the seventh pavilion in the Lingyan Pavilion.
The surroundings were still surrounded by white fog, and there was still a wooden pavilion in front of them. There were also three words written on the plaque on the wooden pavilion.
Colorful Song Pavilion.
Two pieces of wood that were glowing with golden light were suspended on one side of the Colorful Song Pavilion.
Fang Yun: Mountain Shifter 10 points, Ink Sword 10 points.
Fang Yun smiled faintly as his gaze continued to fall on the words "Colorful Song Pavilion".
The first realm of the Five Realms of Painting Dao was "Poetic and Pictorial". There were many other names for painting. Because the main colors of painting were red and green, it was also called "Painting". There was also a famous poet who once said, "Painting is colored poetry, and poetry is black and white painting." Therefore, "Colored Poetry" became another name for painting.
Fang Yun's Painting Dao had been guided by Zhao Hongzhuang and was already on the verge of the First Realm of Painting Dao. Although he had not entered the First Realm of Painting Dao, he was not far away.
Fang Yun was fully prepared for this Colorful Song Pavilion.
Fang Yun slowly walked into the seventh pavilion.
Fang Yun opened his eyes and felt that the world was spinning. All kinds of sceneries flashed crazily in front of him. Mountains, hills, fields, wilderness, deserts, grasslands, snowy mountains, streams, long rivers, sunrise, peacocks, parrots, leopards, markets, red-light streets, old women, young girls … Everything that could be painted quickly appeared.
Fang Yun immediately closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked around.
To the north was a snow-covered plateau. Not a single blade of grass grew. There were eagles flying in the sky.
To the west was a bustling street. There were many shops and pedestrians. There was an endless stream of people. All kinds of people were there.
To the east, there were mountains and forests. They were tall and majestic. Green trees covered the mountains and fields.
To the south, there were hills and pine forests. There were rocky streams and boats made of reeds. It was peaceful and quiet.
Fang Yun observed the surroundings seriously. These sceneries were the test of the Colorful Song Pavilion.
The reason why the Colorful Song Pavilion was ranked as the seventh pavilion was that it did not only test one's painting, but also one's poetry. Poetry and painting were equal to ten points. Even the number one painter, Gu Kaizhi, didn't get ten points. Instead, Tao Yuanming got ten points because Tao Yuanming was excellent in both painting and poetry.
Before Fang Yun entered the Lingyan Pavilion, he saw the three words "Colorful Song Pavilion". Naturally, he thought of Su Shi's evaluation of Wang Wei.
There were paintings in poems, and poems in paintings.
Before obtaining the World of Wondrous Books, Fang Yun only knew that Wang Wei was a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. But after obtaining the World of Wondrous Books, Fang Yun knew that Wang Wei played an important role in ancient China's painting. Wang Wei was even regarded as the "Ancestor of Southern Painting" by the Ming Dynasty's painter, Dong Qichang.
In the entire history of China, only Su Shi's poetry and painting could be compared to Wang Wei's. Thus, when Fang Yun saw the three words "Colorful Song Pavilion", he immediately thought of Wang Wei. Before entering the Lingyan Pavilion, he had already made up his mind to learn Wang Wei's painting. Furthermore, Wang Wei had the famous "Treatise on Mountains and Rivers", "Mountain and River Secret Art", and the famous "Broken Ink Mountain and River".
In order to learn Wang Wei's painting and poetry, Fang Yun went deep into Wang Wei's story. He discovered an interesting matter, which was the relationship between Wang Wei and Li Bai.
The two were born in the same year and died in the next year. They both appeared in Chang 'an at the same time. The two were friends with many poets, but the two had almost no interaction. It was simply inconceivable in the Tang Dynasty.
The two had interacted with Meng Haoran, Wang Changling, and Du Fu. They also had dealings with Princess True Jade. Li Bai was the best at writing poems to send his friends. Meng Haoran, Wang Changling, Du Fu, Gao Shi, and many other poets had appeared in Li Bai's poems. However, the famous Wang Wei did not.
The reason why the two had such a relationship was still unknown. Some people guessed that it was because of Princess True Jade, while others guessed that it was because of a personal grudge that was not recorded.
In terms of the height of ancient poetry, Li Bai was above Wang Wei. But in terms of painting and poetry, Wang Wei was better.
Fang Yun did not immediately choose what to draw. Instead, he silently recited Wang Wei's "Treatise on Mountains and Rivers" and "Mountain and River Secret Art" in his heart. He also recalled Wang Wei's poems, and finally looked at the surrounding scenery again.
Fang Yun observed the snowfield, the downtown area, the mountain forest, and the stream. After thinking for a long time, he finally chose the stream.
The scenery in the other three directions disappeared. Then, the table, brush, ink, paint, and all the other tools for painting and poetry appeared in front of Fang Yun.
Fang Yun closed his eyes and recalled the great paintings of mountains and rivers in the past. Then, he chose a medium-sized white drawing paper and spread it on the table. Soon, he began to draw mountains and rivers.
Before entering the Three Realms, painting emphasized fine brushwork and light brushwork, because fine brushwork was more useful for war painting. But after entering the Three Realms, it emphasized both brushwork and fine brushwork.
Although Fang Yun emphasized fine brushwork more, he did not neglect the Dao of Brushwork. These days, he mainly asked Zhao Hongzhuang for advice on the art of painting mountains and rivers.
The reason why Wang Wei was called the "Ancestor of Southern Sect Painting" by Dong Qichang was that his "Broken Ink Mountain and Rivers" was a link between the previous and the following. It inherited the rendering method of the Tang Dynasty and had a great impact on literati painting. The texturing method of the Southern Sect was deeply influenced by it.
Texturing originally referred to skin cracking due to cold or wind. In landscape painting, the texturing method was a painting technique that represented the surface of rocks, peaks, and barks. The texturing method was a symbol of the maturity of landscape painting.
The landscape painting before the Sui and Tang Dynasties was "empty without texturing", but the landscape painting after the Tang Dynasty was "texturing and dyeing". It could even be said that the development of the texturing method contributed to the development and peak of ancient landscape painting.
Without the texturing method, a landscape painting was not complete.
After looking at the stream in front of him, Fang Yun knew that the painting had to focus on "stone", "pine", and "water". The other elements could be simplified. But the painting methods of these three elements were different. If one could paint stone, pine, and water well, one could be considered a master.
At first, Fang Yun followed the mainstream painting method of the Saint Origin World. But when he painted the hills and the stones in the water, his brushwork suddenly changed. He used the Southern Sect's landscape painting method created by Wang Wei, the Drape Texturing Method, and the Raindrop Texturing Method invented by Mi Fu.
Under the effect of talent qi, the stones in the painting were extremely lifelike, as if they had broken out of the paper and were extremely heavy.
After using the various texturing methods that were not available in the Saint Origin World, Fang Yun's painting level increased at an unstoppable speed.
Before he finished painting the rocks, Fang Yun heard a strange sound of paper tearing in the literature palace. It was as if he had pierced through a layer of paper. Then, the scenery in front of him and the painting under his brush became completely different. He had a deeper understanding of the landscape and painting dao.
The first level of painting dao, poetic and artistic.
Fang Yun smiled slightly. Although his painting skills were average, just a few special texturing methods were enough to reach the eighth level. But to reach the ninth level, he was still a little bit away.
Therefore, when he was painting the stream, Fang Yun could not help but use some of the techniques in the "Yangtze River Painting" by the famous Southern Song Dynasty artist Xia Gui. This painting had an important position in the history of painting. This was because the "water" in this painting and the "water" in the previous landscape painting had a qualitative leap. The water in the painting was fuller.
