"As expected, he still wants to accept me as a disciple." Li Muyang thought to himself.
Before the awakening of the dragon soul, Li Muyang was a waste that everyone despised. Classmates bullied him, teachers ignored him, friends — — Li Muyang had almost no friends. Everyone was unwilling to be associated with a guy that people called 'Charcoal' and 'pig'. Because that would be a joke.
However, after Li Muyang's dragon soul awakened, not only the school beauty Cui Xiaoxin took the initiative to strike up a conversation — — Anyway, that was what Li Muyang thought. His friends also appeared one after another, especially after he arrived at Starry Sky Academy, Li Muyang displayed his amazing talent. Starry Sky teachers appeared one after another, crying and shouting, hugging Li Muyang's thigh, wanting to accept him as a disciple — —
"It's really troublesome." Li Muyang sometimes also felt troubled by this.
For example, now.
Li Muyang bowed deeply to Gu Huangwu and said with a sincere look on his face: "Thank you Teacher Gu for thinking highly of me and for being willing to teach me the way to enter the Tao through painting. Student will engrave this in my heart, I will never forget it. "
Gu Huangwu waved his hand dismissively. "Between teacher and student, why be so polite?"
"It's to let Master Gu know that I'm majoring in dragon slaying. Later on, I was favored by Master Xiahou and learned Daoist classics under him. Master Kong Li thought highly of me and taught me all the Buddhist scriptures. In other words, I not only have a major course, but also study both Buddhism and Taoism at the same time — — Now that Teacher Gu thinks highly of me and wants to teach me the way of painting, I'm afraid I don't have enough time and energy. If he failed to learn it well, Teacher Gu would be greatly disappointed. It won't be beautiful. "
Gu Huangwu frowned, asking: "You want to practice both Buddhism and Taoism?"
Li Muyang smiled awkwardly. "I just want to try — —"
Practicing both Buddhism and Taoism was like marrying two wives at the same time, and the two wives were both outstanding beauties, rich and powerful. Every time he mentioned this wish to others, they would look at him in surprise. 'You want to marry two wives?'
Li Muyang felt that he was indeed too greedy. How could a man marry two wives at the same time? If you have such a thought, you might end up empty-handed and not be able to marry a wife.
Sure enough, Gu Huangwu's brows were knitted more tightly together. "Be careful. The majority of dual cultivators of Buddhism and Daoism were not proficient in both. But this is your choice, I have no right to interfere. I just want to ask you, do you really like painting? "
"Heaven and Earth can bear witness," Li Muyang said in a deep voice. "Teacher Gu should be able to sense my heart."
Gu Huangwu nodded. "It's his first time painting, but he was able to achieve true meaning in the painting, he really is a rare genius."
"Teacher Gu, I like painting, but I just want to use the way of painting for my leisure, I don't want — — to enter the Tao through painting." Li Muyang had no choice but to explain.
Dual cultivation of Buddhism and Daoism meant that he was not proficient in Buddhism and Daoism. If he majored in Dragon Slaying, coupled with the Dao of Painting, he would probably not be able to master any of the skills. That would be a laughingstock to the world.
At that time, Li Muyang would become a negative example of Starry Sky Academy, and all teachers would tell the new students: Just choose one major. Don't bite off more than you can chew, there was a student called Li Muyang — —
At that time, even if Li Muyang died, he most likely would jump out of his grave and quarrel with people.
"What? You look down on the strong people of Starry Sky who entered the Tao through painting? "Gu Huangwu said coldly. "Li Muyang, you should know that although there are very few people in the world who entered the Tao through painting and poetry, but these people can have an epiphany overnight, what they can achieve in one day is better than decades of painstaking cultivation — — Not to mention Li Qiubai and Du Ruofu, who are well-known to the world for thousands of years, but also Wang Wei, Su Dongpo and the others. Their achievements, can those who rely on hard work day and night to walk the orthodox path be compared to them?"
"I understand what Teacher Gu means, I also do not look down on the strong people of Starry Sky who entered the Tao through painting and poetry. On the contrary, my heart is full of reverence for them, and I also hope to become like them. Talented in both literature and martial arts, this is the dream of any student of Starry Sky Academy. I'm afraid — — afraid that I want to be proficient in everything, but in the end I'm not proficient in anything. At that time, I would be ashamed of my many years of painstaking cultivation, and also ashamed of the earnest teachings of my teachers. "
Gu Huangwu's face looked a little better. "You don't have to worry about this. Although I don't approve of your dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, but — — since you really like the way of painting, then I can rest assured and teach you the way to break through the boundary. "
"What is the most important thing in painting? The most important thing is the concept. The heart must first have the intention, then the brush can produce a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers. You don't have to painstakingly cultivate, nor do you have to meditate every day. Naturally, follow the will of heaven. When the conditions are right, success will follow. "
Gu Huangwu pointed to the 'Shower of Spring Sunshine' painting where the dog disappeared, asking: "The painting of the dog came true, was it your intention or my intention?"
Li Muyang's intention referred to the realm of painting, while Gu Huangwu's intention naturally referred to the spirit of painting. There was a big difference between the two.
Li Muyang looked at Gu Huangwu, saying: "Of course it was Teacher Gu's intention."
"However, without your concept, even if it was my spirit, it would be meaningless — — First there is a concept, then the spirit can be drawn out. Just like the Divine Brush Ma Liang we know, first the birds and fish he drew were lifelike, then they could jump out of the paper and become living creatures. Before I only told you about the ten realms of painting, in fact there is the last realm, which is what I said just now — — This is the eleventh realm of painting, also the highest realm. "
Li Muyang nodded solemnly. "Student understands."
"Have you thought it over?"
Li Muyang knelt on the ground, heavily kowtowed three times and said: "Thank you Teacher Gu for teaching me. Student Li Muyang will never forget it. "
"Get up." Gu Huangwu smiled as he stepped forward to help Li Muyang up. "From today onwards, we are teacher and student on the surface, but master and disciple in private. Now, I will teach you the method of entering the Dao through painting — — First enter the Dao, then break through. "
"Disciple understands." Li Muyang also changed the way he addressed him.
Gu Huangwu walked over to the drawing table, lifted the brush he had just used. "Hold your breath, watch my starting gesture — —"
----
When Li Muyang returned to the small courtyard he lived in, he found a bright and beautiful girl standing at the door waiting for him.
Li Muyang was greatly puzzled, asking aloud: "Why hasn't the princess gone back yet?"
"Li Muyang, do you still have clothes to wash?" Chu Ning asked aloud.
