This scene was simply too absurd and horrifying!
A talented youngster since childhood, famous for a long time, known as the 'double walls of painting and calligraphy', Gu Huangwu was drinking hard liquor and shouting that his skills were not as good as others — — What is he trying to do?
Li Muyang is not Gu Huangwu's illegitimate child, is he? Otherwise, why would he not hesitate to lower his status to praise and flatter the other party?
It should be said that, if this matter were to spread out, Li Muyang's name would spread throughout the divine continent. Even if he were to close his eyes and draw a 'chicken pecking rice' painting, countless people would still pay a lot of money to buy it.
It must be like this. He had long heard that Gu Huangwu was good at calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and beauties. This Li Muyang also looked talented, which proved that his mother was also a rare beauty. Maybe when Gu Huangwu went to a small city to sketch, he met a good girl, and then they secretly got pregnant. Many years later, the girl brought his son to him, and he shamelessly ran over to make his illegitimate child famous — — Aren't all artists lustful?
This is a trap!
Everything that they had experienced had been arranged!
The West Wind Princess's provocation was fake, Gu Huangwu's proposal for a literary competition was also fake, Chu Ning's superhuman skills were fake, Li Muyang's supernatural skills were also fake — — All fake, everything was to set off Li Muyang's excellence and greatness.
Chu Ning's excellence was to set off Li Muyang's excellence, Chu Ning's beauty was to set off Li Muyang's miracle.
Look at Gu Huangwu's arrogant expression, look at his exaggerated acting, oh, he's still smiling — — Although his smile is very reserved, but I still discovered the secret hidden in his heart.
Now he must be very proud of his ability to set up a trap, right?
"Teacher Gu — —" The first to react was Chu Ning. Her face was pale, the shock in her eyes had not completely dissipated. She looked at Gu Huangwu and asked: "Teacher Gu, is what you said true? That Li Muyang — — is his painting that good? "
"Huh?" The onlookers' eyes were wide with question marks. "Aren't they together? Why did Chu Ning suddenly question Gu Huangwu? That's right, for the sake of the plot. Didn't Chu Ning's questioning make the story more realistic? It would be best if there was a tearful scene, the West Wind Princess would cry because she was defeated by a penniless commoner — -Then no one would suspect that this was a planned drama. That must be it. "
Gu Huangwu gulped down another mouthful of strong wine, looking at Chu Ning with hazy eyes, he shouted, "Do you still think Master is deceiving you?"
"I don't dare." Chu Ning hurriedly apologized and said, "It's just that I really can't see what's so good about this painting."
Chu Ning pointed to the surrounding students and said, "I think everyone has the same doubts."
"That's right, Teacher Gu. We all feel that Li Muyang's paintings are crude and clumsy. It was a far cry from Chu Ning's painting. Why would Teacher Gu give him such a high evaluation? "
"Student is slow-witted, Teacher Gu please show me the right path — –"
----
Many students spoke up at the same time, asking Gu Huangwu to give them an explanation, a reason.
They did not care that Li Muyang had surpassed Chu Ning and won the bet. What they cared about was that even the world-famous Teacher Gu admitted that he was inferior to Li Muyang, which was too shocking and hard to accept.
Only Qiandu's eyes sparkled as she looked at Li Muyang, the corners of her mouth curling into a faint smile.
When the two of them looked at each other, she only nodded slightly and did not ask any questions.
Lin Canghai took in the expressions of the two people with his eyes, feeling inwardly depressed.
"There must be a story between these two people." Lin Canghai thought to himself.
Gu Huangwu took a sip of wine, walked over to the painting of 'Shower of Spring Sunshine', and said: "I just told you about the ten realms of painting, then do you know which realm Li Muyang's' Shower of Spring Sunshine 'is at?"
The crowd shook their heads.
There were many students who did not know which of the ten realms of painting Gu Huangwu was referring to, so how would they know which realm Li Muyang had reached?
"The realm of simplicity." Gu Huangwu said in a loud and clear voice. "When we paint, we always like to use cumbersome lines and thick ink. We always feel that the more strokes we use, the thicker the ink, the more we can express the mood and mood we want to express, and the people or scenery we depict will be more vivid — — "
Gu Huangwu walked over to Chu Ning's painting, pointing to the 'Boy Competing in Spring Painting' she had just painted, saying aloud: "Take this painting as an example, Chu Ning used the extremely cumbersome iron line drawing technique, layer upon layer, airtight. Of course, the effect is that the image is perfect, every detail is remarkable. "
"The way of painting is to first do addition, then subtraction. Only by being able to understand and master complex things can you express them more clearly. This is why I asked Chu Ning to observe the boy more, to observe the people or scenery you depict. Because only when you enter his heart, can you display their essence, qi and spirit. "
"However, when your level reaches a certain level, you should try to omit as much as possible, leaving behind a few strokes, enough to cover the entire paper and ink, or even more than the capacity of the paper and ink, because there are many meanings that cannot be expressed, beyond the painting."
"This' Sudden Appearance of Spring Sunshine 'does not see a peach tree, but there are fallen petals in the stream. We can't help but have this kind of association, even in the stream there are so many fallen petals, then how prosperous are the peach blossoms on the bank of the stream? Don't draw it, you can't draw it. When you draw it, there will be a tail, more flaws. Because everything in the world has flaws, but the human imagination is flawless. It is close to infinite perfection. "
"There are also the roots of the ancient peach tree, proving that this is a huge peach tree. It has lived for hundreds of years, what kind of wind and rain has it experienced? However, until now, it still stands there firmly, making people sigh at the power of life — — "
"That dog is also beautifully drawn. It's ugly and realistic. It's full of food and drink, sitting there in a daze, even when butterflies stay on the tip of its brush it is indifferent — — The dog is the same, what does its master look like? Is it a human or an immortal? "
“----”
The crowd was speechless.
After listening to Gu Huangwu's explanation, it seemed to be true.
However, was this painting really that mystical?
They put aside their prejudices at first glance, stepped forward to carefully examine it. The more they looked, the more entranced they were, the more mesmerized they became. Many people could even imagine themselves in the painting, becoming the master of the peach garden.
Li Muyang tried hard to maintain a calm expression on his face, as though he knew they would worship him so much, but his heart was in turmoil.
"My painting — — is that amazing?" Li Muyang could hardly believe his eyes and ears. "It seems I really am a genius."
He had already forgotten about the old dragon and took all the credit for himself.
"The most wonderful thing is the overall layout, it has the beauty of simplicity and eternity, but also has the Zen meaning of banishing the soul. Such a beautiful painting, but came from the hands of a young man who painted for the first time. Such a genius, how could people not be envious and jealous? Ancestor Gu Sanjue was highly regarded by Xie An, and thought that there has never been such a person in the world. Today I send these words to Li Muyang, and thought that there has never been such a person in the world. "
“----”
The whole audience was silent.
Everyone was shocked by Gu Huangwu's words.
It was just a careless painting, but the world-famous Gu Huangwu said that there has never been such a person in the world. In other words, before Li Muyang was born, there had never been such an outstanding person like Li Muyang in the whole world.
Those talented painters, those heroes who left their names in history, what would they think after hearing this?
Li Muyang was greatly moved, thinking that it was no wonder that Gu Huangwu could become a famous artist of his generation, admired by the people of the entire divine continent. Based on his magnanimity, based on his vision and taste, based on his moral sentiments that power cannot be subdued, wealth cannot be corrupted, he deserves to occupy such a lofty position.
Li Muyang felt a little regretful, feeling that he had gauged the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure.
How could he suspect that Teacher Gu was bribed by the Royal family of West Wind? This was simply a stain and insult to Teacher Gu.
Li Muyang came over, bowed deeply to Gu Huangwu, and said: "Thank you Teacher Gu for thinking so highly of me, Teacher Gu's great kindness — —"
Before Li Muyang could finish his words, Gu Huangwu had already pulled him up. "You can't do such a big thing. You are the reincarnation of the Saint of Painting, it will shorten people's life. "
“----”
Gu Huangwu reached out and grasped Li Muyang's arm, pulled him to the front of the painting table, and pointed to the 'Shower of Spring Sunshine' painting: "Seeing this masterpiece, my mood is good, I should be happy."
He lifted the wine gourd and gulped down a mouthful of wine, before he said in a loud voice: "Today I'm happy to see Muyang, I'll give you a gift."
His eyes swept across the crowd of students. "I know you still have doubts about this painting, now I'll let you see how this' Shower of Spring Sunshine 'truly reveals a pool of spring sunshine — —"
With a brush in his hand, he said: "Li Muyang's talent is excellent, but his attention to detail is slightly weak. Everything is ready, only lacking a wisp of spring breeze — — Now, I'll give Li Muyang a wisp of spring breeze. "
Lifting the brush, he flicked it a few times over the painting, and there were wisps of breeze blowing out.
In the painting, peach blossoms fluttered with the wind, and more falling red appeared in the stream.
The fur of the big dog was blown by the wind, and butterflies fluttered their wings, dancing gracefully.
In the Peach Blossom Cove, it was late autumn.
Infected by the spring breeze, the bare branches of the peach trees sprouted buds, the green leaves grew larger and denser at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tiny buds sprouted from the branches, and the flower buds bloomed.
Crimson red filled the field, and the fragrance of flowers filled the courtyard.
