The exchange with Tatsuko was mainly to show that Donglizi would not seek revenge on Tatsuko because of this, and Tatsuko's response showed that he didn't have much grudge against it, or even if he had any grudge before, it was eliminated today.
.
The two sides didn't talk much, but the atmosphere was very harmonious and they reached an agreement with each other.
But while Wu Sheng eliminated this hidden danger, the uneasiness he had felt before suddenly came to mind.
Chenzi said four words - "the sword is at stake". Wu Sheng kept thinking about these four words on the way back to Longhu Hall.
These four words are usually used to describe a critical situation that is about to break out. Although I supported Dong Lizi and was successfully elected as a follower, it was during a discussion. Even if there was any verbal conflict, it should not reach this point.
Tatsuko used this word to describe his relationship with Chang Hong. Is it an exaggeration, or is that just what he thinks?
Wu Sheng once again reflected on his experiences over the past few days. Starting from the end of the discussion, he could only think of one thing: Changzi left Wenshitang after the election was completed, and he did not see him after that.
The academicians have always belonged to the upper echelon, and most of them are reclusive and reclusive masters. There are very few people like Wu Sheng who are close to the people and down-to-earth. Chang Hong is also a type who rarely shows up. He usually hides behind his piano.
Xuanzhong is engaged in art, so it is normal for Wu Sheng not to see him these days.
Since Chenzi said such a word, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Wu Sheng thought that he must pay great attention to it and not make it a big deal. After so many years, when has he escaped a disaster because he was not cautious?
Thinking of this, Wu Sheng quickened his pace and immediately called Shi Jiu over as soon as he returned to Longhu Hall: "Is there anything going on over there at Chang Hong?"
Shi Jiu reported: "There has been no movement. I haven't seen him at any mountain peak or at any church in the past few days."
Wu Sheng thought for a while and asked again: "The last time you showed up, was it the one seven days ago?"
Shi Jiu nodded: "Yes."
Seven days ago, it was the day when all the scholars set off for Luodu. Wu Sheng was also on the way and saw Chang Hong. He looked at Chang Hong many times, wanting to smile with him and ease the relationship, but Chang Hong always refused.
Ignore him.
Wu Sheng's nervous mood calmed down. Since Chang Hong didn't move, it meant he was just sulking. He had been sulking for seven days, so it was almost over. Should he take the initiative to visit?
Whether he stabbed him or scolded him a few times, even if he stayed behind closed doors, it would still give him a break. Artists do things purely based on passion. If this tone made him calm down, that would probably be enough.
Wu Sheng didn't ask for anything else, he just asked Chang Hong not to do anything extreme.
"Call Zhong Liying over."
Shi Jiu said: "Zhongli is in retreat at the seventh peak."
Wu Sheng said: "Didn't he break through the realm and refine himself as a god three months ago?"
Shi Jiu said: "He also wants to consolidate his cultivation."
Wu Sheng said: "No, let him come out. After this matter is done, go back to retreat. The Seventh Peak will be there, and it won't run away. What are you afraid of?"
Zhong Liying has been in seclusion on the Seventh Peak for a year. In fact, he broke through three months ago and stood in the queue of monks in the God Refining Realm. If he had been in the past, he would have been shaking when he walked.
trembling, but now he is in the academy, talking and laughing all the time about practicing the spirit, and when he goes to practice practice, his spirit is high. He always feels that an ordinary divine realm is not enough. I am sorry for his position as Sun Fengxing's confidant, but he must at least practice it.
He was distracted and entered the advanced level of god refining, so he had the nerve to eat large pieces of meat and drink from large bowls with his fellow students in the academy. Therefore, he still worked very hard and could not come out of the seventh peak.
After getting the order today, I reluctantly came to see Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng told him: "Go to Shouchun and customize a picture of a hundred birds listening to the harp from Wan Tao. I painted Chang Hong playing the harp and hundreds of birds listening to the harp. When they were very happy, they landed on Chang Hong's shoulders and returned the favor.
Let's sing along. Let him paint something more like it. I want to use it to give gifts. This must be done quickly. The sooner the better. If others urge him to paint, I'm afraid he will be careless and delay my important things. You go
After that, no matter what he is doing, force him to do it immediately."
Zhong Liying nodded in agreement. He was very familiar with Wan Tao and had a very good relationship. As long as he came forward, Wan Tao should know the seriousness.
Wu Sheng added: "Remember, let him paint well and don't get those messy things in. He must be elegant!"
Zhong Liying was ordered to set out overnight, while Wu Sheng asked Shi Jiu to keep a close eye on Tingqinxuan to prevent any sudden changes.
Within three days, nothing happened to Tingqinxuan. On the night of the third day, Zhong Liying rushed back. Wu Sheng comforted her warmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Zhong Li."
When I opened the scroll, I saw someone sitting on a huge rock playing the piano in a deserted mountain. There was a waterfall rushing in the distance, and peach blossoms blooming nearby. There were flowers on the trees, rocks, and on the shoulders of the person in the painting.
Birds of various colors raised their heads and sang happily. Looking at the face of the person in the painting, it turned out to be Chang Hong. He was truly lifelike, a hundred times more accurate than the portraits on the wanted notices issued by the academy!
The painting produced by Wan Tao must be a dynamic composition. The portrait is very well balanced between movement and stillness. Although there is no sound, it seems to hear the bursts of piano music coming from the painting.
Wu Sheng praised that Wan Tao's paintings are getting more and more amazing! It's just right to give this painting to Chang Hong, who can just fill in the missing music. After completing the song, everyone can laugh and let go of their grudges. Isn't that great?
?
Those who engage in art should use art to persuade!
Wu Sheng didn't waste any time and went to Chang Hong's Tingqin Pavilion that night.
Tingqinxuan is not on Xiandu Mountain, but in a mountain depression where Beiyuan and the second peak of Xiandu Mountain are connected. The scenery is quite beautiful and it is particularly quiet.
When he came to the door, Wu Sheng sensed inward and found that Tingqinxuan was blocked by a magic circle. This was also necessary - Chang Hong's way, and in music theory, playing is often full of unpredictable power. If
Without using a magic circle to block the sounds inside and outside, when someone passes by and hears the sound of Chang Hong's piano, something might happen.
Wu Sheng knocked on the door, and a boy answered: "Who is outside the door?"
Wu Sheng said: "This is Sun Wu, who came here to pay a visit to Changzi."
There was an "ah" sound inside, and then a burst of hurried footsteps could be heard. It must be the door boy who went in to report Chang Hong.
It was late autumn, the wind had passed, and the ground was golden. Wu Sheng held the painting scroll in his arms and admired the scenery outside Tingqin Pavilion. He was not in a hurry and just waited outside the door.
After a long time, someone asked at the door: "Is it Sun Fengxing?"
Wu Sheng replied: "Exactly. I got a wonderful painting recently, and I would like to share it with Changzi."
The person in the door said: "Sun Fengxing has invited me. My family is in retreat, so I don't want to disturb you. Please forgive me. I will go back to the Longhu Hall to pay my respects on the day when I leave the retreat."
Wu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's it, it's disturbing."
So he turned around and left. After walking far away, he came back again.
Something is wrong with Chang Hong!
