Since returning to Qingdu, many people have invited Jiang Yan to banquets, but Lao Lu has almost become an old fool, and he still has the energy to argue with others.
What's more, people in Qingdu now use Jiang Chan's poems to portray Jiang Chan as a chic and elegant image, which makes Jiang Chan a little speechless.
After Jiang Chan looked in the mirror, he didn't want to go out, for fear of ruining Jiang Chan's perfect image in the eyes of Qingdu people, but he still felt unwilling to do so.
"Does genius have to be handsome?"
Jiang Qian wanted to curse a few times, but after thinking about it, whether it was Zhao Suixian, Zhou Xiaoshi, Su Kou, or Shui Wuxin, these people all had great talents, but they had good looks, as if they were really a combination of talent and talent.
Appearance is directly proportional.
In fact, my appearance is not bad, but it's a pity that a pair of squinting eyes ruins everything.
“People in Qingdu damn judge people by their appearance, and I don’t know when they will change it.”
In Qingdu, good-looking people always receive more tolerance, and appearance is linked to justice.
After Jiang Yan left Mahuang Lane, he discovered that men, women, and children on the street would all have flowers on their foreheads to show their image of being literati. Only then did Jiang Yan realize that today was the annual Hairpin Festival in Qingdu.
This festival has been passed down for thousands of years, and together with the Yanhui Festival, it is known as the two most popular festivals among people in the Qing Dynasty.
After arriving at Wen Mansion, perhaps it was the red flower in the middle of his white hair that made Lao Lu look particularly good today.
"Today is the Hairpin Festival, why don't you even have any flowers?"
A grown man pinned a flower on his head. Jiang Yan felt disgusted no matter what he thought, but he couldn't resist Lu Daoxuan. He just picked a yellow chrysanthemum from the flower pond and pinned it in his hair.
"It looks much more pleasing to the eye."
Lu Daoxuan was very satisfied with his masterpiece.
"Tell me, why did you come to me today?"
Jiang Chan would visit Lu Daoxuan every day in Qingdu, talk to him, and recall the past. Jiang Chan was very afraid that the old man would one day turn into an old fool.
"Didn't you ask me to come here yesterday? You said you wanted to teach me some painting techniques?"
"Aoao, yes, I asked you to come."
Lu Daoxuan nodded, and then began to think hard about what kind of painting techniques there were.
"Danqing painters are divided into two types: Danqing techniques to improve painting skills, and Danqing techniques to control the spirit of painting.
Needless to say about your technique, your painting skills are in a unique vein and are different from Wenfu's painting techniques, and are unique, but your painting techniques are somewhat unsatisfactory.
The six techniques of Danqing are headed by He Ling. Although you have learned and completed the He Ling technique, it is a technique for fighting people with their lives and cannot be used indiscriminately in your spare time. Therefore, you must first enrich your fighting methods."
When Lu Daoxuan was teaching Danqing techniques, his eyes seemed to have the sparkle of the past.
"You said there are six methods in Wenfu Danqing Garden? They are all those six methods."
"The art of controlling spirits is a way to control the painting spirit in battle. The first requirement is that you must have a deep understanding of the object you are painting, so that you can perfectly bring out the fighting power of the painting spirit during the battle."
"Then do you remember who in our Wen family knows the art of controlling spirits?"
Jiang Yan followed the temptation, hoping that Lu Daoxuan could remember more things, but Lu Daoxuan grabbed Jiang Yan's wrist and looked at him with some seriousness in his eyes.
"Jiang Yan, you don't need me to teach you your skills, but your skills are too bad. I know you are afraid that I will become an old fool, but don't interrupt me. While I still remember it clearly, I will teach you as much as possible what I have learned."
for you"
"Almost everyone knows the art of controlling spirits, but the real art of controlling spirits actually needs to match the art of combining spirits. The paintings made by the art of combining spirits possess the innate magical power of the objects they draw. Only the art of controlling spirits can transform this magical power."
Played out perfectly.
The Spirit Inscription Technique is actually the Fuyuan Technique. It is the strongest auxiliary technique in Wen Mansion. It is extremely important for Danqing painters, so it is included in it.
It is the simplest to practice, but the biggest barrier to exerting its power is talent. You wrote more than a dozen poems in Xihe, so it goes without saying that you are talented. This spiritual inscription technique is not too southern for you.
You have also seen the spirit-eating technique at the Ehu Club. This is a very domineering secret technique of the Wen Mansion. You must have multiple spirits in one painting to be able to use it.
Among multiple painting spirits, one is the main painting spirit and the others are auxiliary. The main painting spirit absorbs the power of other painting spirits and merges it for its own use.
Before you reach the Qianyuan Mirror, there is another prerequisite for using the Spirit-Eating Technique, that is, when painting with Duo Hua Ling, you need to have a coherent stroke of spirit.
Moreover, one of the biggest flaws of the Soul-Eating Technique is that it will cause irreversible damage to the painting. In other words, the Soul-Eating Technique can only be used once on a painting."
Lu Daoxuan paused, as if hesitating whether he should continue teaching or not.
"Jiang Yan, when we first met in Nanping, I already knew your identity. The cause and effect entangled with you is so deep that it will even drag the Wen family into the abyss.
But your talent is rare in my life, and everything that followed proved that I was right about you. Regardless of your character or talent, I chose to be willing to take risks.
I didn’t want to teach you this spiritual sacrifice technique, but you will encounter a lot of troubles in the future, so teaching it to you may save your life in the future.”
"Do you know what materials are used in the art of spiritual sacrifice?"
"Isn't it paint?" Jiang Yan asked back. It is common knowledge in the world that paint is used for painting.
"No matter what kind of painting it is, almost all paints are used, but only the paintings painted by the spirit worship technique are not.
When painting in the spirit-sacrifice technique, you must first kill the object you are painting and then sacrifice it, using its soul as the spirit of the painting and its blood as the paint.
In terms of realism and restoration, it is even better than the spirit-combination technique, but the paintings drawn are all of great evil, and if one is weak in cultivation, he will easily suffer backlash."
"Like your painting "The Python Swallowing the Sky"?"
Jiang Yan thought of the three giant pythons on E Lake. Their respective powers were terrifying and terrifying, even worse than the real ferocious beasts. It was difficult for the four major Five Classics doctors to join forces.
"Yes, those are the three ferocious pythons I have killed. I used the blood of the pythons into the paintings to blend their madness and brutality into the painting spirit. However, this method is harmful to the world and cannot be used except as a last resort.
"Lu Daoxuan warned again and again.
"I understand, sir, you keep talking about the Six Skills of Danqing and the Soul-Combining Skill. So what is this last skill..."
Lu Daoxuan talked about the six methods of painting, but after counting, he only mentioned five.
"This sixth method..."
When Lu Daoxuan was talking.
"The six skills of Danqing, headed by the spirit union technique, include the spirit control technique, the spirit engraving technique, the spirit eating technique, the spirit sacrificial technique, the spirit union technique..."
Lu Dao
He was only grateful to this old man. He was the most respectable old man he had ever met, and the benefactor who introduced him to the world of painting. In Xihe, he even used his body to bear the wrath of the entire Confucian family for him.
