In the recent period, everyone in the originally relaxed Wenfu has been working very hard, and there are even fewer people chatting with each other. It has been nearly half a year since I entered the government, and the first internal examination for all the students in the lower house is coming soon.
Even Song Yu would come to Mahuang Alley every now and then to ask Jiang Yan for advice on some painting skills, but Jiang Yan never held back.
"Your natal painting spirit is flowers and plants. Wenfu paintings mostly use fine strokes, strokes, and color filling.
But I also know another way, which is to write branches, leaves, calyxes and stamens with thick brush and thick ink, and then apply a little mixed color, so that the color does not block the ink and does not cover the handwriting.
It’s called Luo Mo.”
While Jiang Yan was drawing on the drawing paper, he was explaining it to Song Yu.
Perhaps only Song Yu in the entire Wen family knows best how strong Jiang Chan is as a painter, who is looked down upon by everyone. Not even those taught by the Wen family have such skills.
"It turns out you can still draw like this"
Song Yu suddenly realized that this painting method was beyond the imagination of his predecessors, fresh and refined.
"The civil service examination is coming soon, do you want to take part?" Song Yu asked.
"I am a foreigner student, why should I take the internal examination?"
"I specifically asked someone to find out how a foreign student can become an internal student. There was a person in Wenfu who passed the internal examination as a foreign student and beat all the internal students, and was admitted as a special student. Although this is a bit difficult, I
I believe you can do it." Song Yu always had great confidence in Jiang Yan.
"I'll see how your preparations are when the time comes," Jiang Yan said perfunctorily. He actually thought it would be good to give birth outside the home.
"My natal painting spirit is Zirong Song. I am planning to go to Songshan Mountain to collect scenery and observe Zirong Song in the next few days."
"Have you thought about it?"
Songshan Mountain is steep and dangerous. When he was in Danqingyuan, he heard He Qingzhi say that many people who went to collect wind died on the mountain. Jiang Yan was a little surprised. Song Yu, who seemed a bit weak, seemed to be able to make such a decision.
.
"Other people don't know it, but I have to know it myself. My fifth place in the college entrance examination is actually mostly due to you. In terms of talent, I'm not even as good as Zhang Ji.
So if you want to get good results, you can only work harder than others."
"Don't belittle yourself. Your decision must have been carefully considered, but you must pay attention to safety in everything. Take this."
Jiang Yan grabbed one of the paper cranes flying above his head and gave it to Song Yu.
"If you encounter any danger in Songshan Mountain, release this crane and I will rescue you then."
Jiang Yan also had good intentions, but he didn't expect that Song Yu wouldn't accept it.
"If I encounter danger, how can I involve you again?" Song Yu shook her head and refused.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you quietly, all the demons in Xiandu Mountain are all my eldest brothers."
Jiang Yan said half-jokingly and half-seriously, and forced the paper crane into his hand, and sent him away from No. 11.
After returning to the yard, Jiang Yan began to regret it. He was a color tying craftsman. Wouldn't it be against his professional ethics to advise others to pay attention to safety? He would not do such forgetful things in the future!
But then I thought about it, he didn't have many friends in the first place, and one of them would be missing if they died.
Jiang Yan's internal examination had nothing to do with him, he was just an outsider.
Jiang Yan was sitting under the eaves, with a group of small paper figures dancing happily around him. Paper cranes and purple swallows were flying together over the yard.
Song Yu went to Songshan Mountain to collect knowledge, and while he was still living in confusion in the Wen Mansion, Jiang Yan thought that if he wanted to speed up his practice, Xiandu Mountain was the best place to go.
First of all, the practice of Helingshu must use the big monsters in Xiandu Mountain as a template. He must observe the living habits and status of these big monsters in order to make the best paintings.
Secondly, after opening the hundred acupuncture points, he will need more spiritual power to practice. There are too many scribes in Qingdu Mountain, and it will be difficult for the spiritual energy here to supply so many people for practice.
"Can't stay lazy like this"
Jiang Yan stood up and stretched. The atmosphere of Wen Mansion was so comfortable that people couldn't help but want to immerse themselves in it.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yan decided to go into the mountain.
Living outside the home means having such freedom, you can come and leave as you please.
I decided that day, packed my things and set off on the same day.
Among the demons in Tiandu, the one he was most familiar with was Hu Meiniang.
He already had a draft for his second Heling Picture, and was going to use the image of a fox to draw the nine-tailed celestial fox recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. If he wanted to make it more realistic, he had to continue to observe the living habits of the fox.
Moreover, the Fox Cave in Yuxiu Mountain is full of spiritual energy, where he can let go of hundreds of acupuncture points and practice unbridled.
In the past few days, Su Kou did not carry or prepare some erotic drugs as usual. Su Kou felt a strong sense of crisis ever since he saw the Gu insect in the basket.
Medicine masters and Gu masters are old enemies, and they are also natural enemies.
The maturity of one Gu worm will not have much impact, but if a large number of Gu worms mature, it will be enough to fight across borders.
It is recorded in the Pharmacist's Medical Code that hundreds of years ago a Gu master went deep into the mountains to raise poisonous insects, and brought thousands of poisonous insects with him to destroy ten cities in a row. He was hunted down for more than ten years before being eliminated.
Jiang Yan rode a donkey into the Xiandu Mountains. The Xiandu Mountains are extremely huge, with nearly a hundred large and small peaks in total. Even if it takes decades, it may not be possible to understand all the terrain.
But ever since he opened a hundred acupuncture points, the topography of Xiandu Mountain has been engraved in his mind, and Jiang Yan himself doesn't know who left this map for him.
Following the map in my mind, I soon arrived at Yuxiu Mountain.
As soon as Jiang Qian approached the mountain peak, Hu Meiniang had already noticed his aura.
"Jiang Leng? I thought you, such a heartless little person, had forgotten your sister Leng."
Hu Meiniang's angry tone floated in the mountains.
"How could it be possible? After all, I am also a student outside the Wen Mansion and have to go to class!" Jiang Yan hurriedly found a reason for himself.
Everything in the Yuxiu Mountain Fox Cave was the same as before he left. Foxes of all sizes shuttled back and forth in the forest, and some wandered around Jiang Lun's donkey.
Not only did Jiang Yan not chase them away, but he was also carefully observing their every move. If he wanted his paintings to be realistic, he must have sufficient mastery and understanding of what he was painting.
When he first arrived outside the fox cave, he was greeted by a gust of fragrant wind. Before Jiang Yan could react, he was knocked down by Hu Meiniang.
One person and one fox rolled around on the grass twice. Hu Meiniang hugged Jiang Chan's waist, while Jiang Chan raised his hands in the air with a panicked expression.
Jiang Yan finally understood why Xiandu Mountain was considered dangerous by many people. The fox in front of him was even more dangerous and could eat him at any time!
"Sister Fox, can we not do such dangerous actions!"
"You are so old and you still haven't made any progress. Could it be that my sister is old and loses her charm?" Hu Meiniang said and glanced resentfully at Jiang Gan, who was confused by the charm.
