A burst of spiritual power swept the two of them and flew over the Wen Mansion. Lu Daoxuan and Jiang Yan unexpectedly arrived at the Seven Pavilions of the Wen Mansion. The seven pavilions were based on clouds and were built in an orderly manner in mid-air, just like a fairyland.
When Jiang Yan saw the three characters "Bi Tui Pavilion", he hesitated a little.
"Mr. Lu, this is a forbidden area of Wenfu"
Bi Tui Pavilion is a place where portraits of celebrities and sages from past dynasties are enshrined in the Wen Mansion. No one can take a step forward without the permission of the palace owner.
"Don't worry, Wei Changli asked you to come."
After hearing what Lu Daoxuan said, Jiang Yan took a step forward.
Before entering Bi Tui Pavilion, Jiang Gu noticed several terrifying auras sweeping over him. Since there was no obstruction, it was naturally because he had received the order.
Bi Tui Pavilion is not big, with only two floors and is very empty. There are dozens of figure paintings hanging on the walls. These are the sages of the Zengwen Mansion.
Next to the painting, there is a special booklet introducing their lives, and a shelf with pens used by these people.
Lu Daoxuan stood outside the door and straightened his clothes, then bowed and entered Bi Tui Pavilion. Jiang Yan also did the same.
Lu Dao
In the Wen Mansion, there has never been a ritual of kowtow, but seeing Lu Daoxuan kowtow respectfully in front of the two portraits, and his master was kowtow, it was definitely right for him to follow suit.
"One of these two is my master, and the other is my master. I guess you are a wise boy."
"Master, where is the painting you asked me to admire?"
There were many scrolls on Xiaoyao Gong's painting shelf. Lu Daoxuan took out a scroll from it and unfolded it.
Jiang Yan touched it with his hand and realized that the drawing paper was actually the top quality Five Clouds Quicksand Paper. Moreover, after only half-reading, he could already faintly sense the quality of the painting.
"Tianpin paintings!" Jiang Yan said.
"Not bad, but it's a pity that half of the painting is missing"
After the scroll is unfolded, there is a portrait. In the painting, there is a short and fat man sitting barefoot on a big stone to rest. But the strangest thing is that there is a huge toad lying on the back of this man, and half of the portrait is missing.
.
"This painting is called "Toad Immortal Picture", what do you think?" Lu Daoxuan asked.
"This painting has a unique shape and layout, outstanding character, thick brushwork, appropriate thickness of hooks, well-proportioned ups and downs, and exquisite rendering.
You see here, the mussels are used to make the picture look dark and concave, giving it a rich three-dimensional effect. It can be said that the brushwork is extraordinary and the business is multifaceted."
It can be said that this is the fastest painting Jiang Yan has seen since he came to Yuling Continent. Originally, he thought that relying on the painting skills he learned was enough to despise the world's painters, but after seeing this painting, he realized that he was
Sit in the well and look at the sky.
"I know you are good at painting figures. Can you paint them in full color?" Lu Daoxuan asked again.
Full color is to repair the original damaged painting without damaging the spirit of the painting.
"Mr. Lu, you also know that it is not easy to get full color.
I have my own habits of inking and coloring. The artist who created this painting showed his sharpness when writing, but I have to restrain my own style and follow the word "hidden", which is even more difficult than making an exact painting myself.
"Jiang Yan said truthfully.
"Difficult means there is hope?"
"I need to take this painting away and study the brushstrokes carefully. After all, where the original painting uses a bald brush, I can't use a center, and where I use a center, I can't use a slant."
Lu Daoxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Okay, I make the decision and you take it away"
"Let's make an agreement first. It will take at least a year and a half to complete the work."
"No problem. These paintings have been incomplete for hundreds of years. They are not less than your year and a half, but there is one requirement. They are intact and no different from ancient times."
"I can only say try my best, what else do you call these?" Jiang Yan asked rhetorically.
Lu Daoxuan smiled and took down a few more pictures to show them one by one.
"This is the "Picture of All Living Beings Paying Respect to the Buddha", this is the "Picture of Chanting", this is the "Picture of Splash-Ink Immortal"!"
This is the first time Jiang Yan has seen so many Tianpin paintings, but all of them are incomplete.
"I have been working hard to complete those landscape scrolls and flower and bird scrolls with Wei Changli for hundreds of years, but figure painting is a taboo in Danqing. Neither of us is good at figure painting, so I can only rely on you."
"What's the benefit?" Jiang Yan smiled mischievously.
"For ordinary scribes to be able to see the master's original work is already considered a blessing. If you are allowed to take it back for study, you still want benefits? Do you know that if you can complete it, it will also be a training for you?"
Jiang Yan did not refuse. These paintings should be by Wen Zhenggong or Xiaoyao Gong. In the process of full color painting, he will also learn the painting skills of two generations of the strongest painters in Yuling Continent. Not everyone can have such an opportunity.
.
"But you are my apprentice, so of course I have to help you and let Wei Changli bleed out. Don't worry, after you are fully colored, you will definitely get more than you thought."
The master and the disciple looked at each other and smiled wildly. Not everyone can scheme against Wei Changli.
"The full color can be put on hold for now, as long as you have this in mind. The most important thing right now is to go back and prepare for the painting of the Ehu Club." Lu Daoxuan patted Jiang Qian's shoulder.
"I will lead the team at the Ehu meeting this time. If you don't give me face, be careful and I will slap you."
"Are you leading the team? Didn't it mean that the palace master personally led the team?"
"He is getting out of shape day by day, and now he doesn't know where he is wandering. I have to go there."
After leaving Bi Tui Pavilion, Jiang Yan thought of something very important.
"Master, they have all gone to secret training. Is there anything you can teach me?"
Seeing Jiang Yan's playful smile, Lu Daoxuan pinched his cheek with his hand, and then said through gritted teeth.
"When you have something to do, you call me Master, when you have nothing to do, you call me Master Lu, and when you are unhappy, you call me Old Man Lu. You are really my good disciple."
"Tell you, there's nothing!"
Jiang Lian left in despair. He thought he had learned from a famous teacher, the best painter in the world, but he didn't expect that he had been left alone.
"Senior brother, this time's Ehu meeting is extraordinary. You really don't want to teach him anything? At least you should personally guide him in practice, otherwise you are too unqualified to be a master!"
Wei Changli appeared next to Lu Daoxuan quietly.
"I can't teach him" Lu Daoxuan smiled bitterly.
"This kid is a freak. His painting skills are not inferior to mine, and his way of practice is completely different from that of ordinary painters. He is his own school.
If I instill my own understanding into him, perhaps not only will it not be able to help him, but it will be counterproductive."
"So what you did was to use your power for personal gain, split the treasure left by our master into several piles, and secretly let him understand it? Senior brother, you are making it very difficult for me to do this."
"Wei Changli, you should have fun secretly having such a precious apprentice, otherwise you won't be able to complete the paintings when you close your eyes." Lu Daoxuan glanced at him.
