After the Gongsheng examination was over, some families were happy and some were sad. Lin Fan and Lin Wanxi, father and daughter, sat in the courtyard and had a heart-to-heart talk.
"I'm sorry, father, to disappoint you," Lin Wanxi said.
"Disappointed? Why am I disappointed?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
"Even if you don't tell me, I can tell that Jiang Chan's paintings are better than mine, but they are tied for first place just for your sake.
Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and there has never been a parallel precedent in the twenty-three cities of Yunzhou. You have high hopes for me, but I failed to meet your expectations."
Lin Wanxi is very proud and never gives up easily. At the same time, she is not stupid and understands the ways of the world.
"I am very happy that you are so awake as a father." Lin Fan touched Lin Wanxi's head.
"I heard that Jiang Yan was in danger at Sanchuankou. He had no chance to paint during the entire examination period. He only started writing on the return ship."
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment and then asked
"Did it on the way back on the ship? You mean he only spent three or four hours on this painting?"
The Gongsheng Examination lasts for seven days. Even though some people can't make a painting within seven days, Jiang Chang only spent three or four hours?
“Yes, many people have seen it”
"It seems that medium-grade paintings are not his limit. Wen Mansion may be about to produce a great talent. Chen Mo and Zhao Suixian are the top contemporary. If I, Lin Ancheng, produce someone who can rival them..."
Lin Wanxi is only in the last position among the four elites of Yunzhou, and Zhao Suixian and Chen Mo are recognized as having overwhelming talents among their peers. Even the Wen Mansion's teachings left a message after seeing these two people, and no one
Be able to predict where their limits are.
Lin Fan had a smile on his face. If this was the case, the reward from the Wen Mansion would definitely be huge. As for the origin of Jiang Yan's painting method, Lin Fan would certainly send a letter to the Wen Mansion. Everyone would be willing to give the greatest tolerance to the genius.
This world lacks nothing but genius, real genius!
"Wan Xi, there is no doubt that you are a genius. At the same time, you must also admit that there will be monsters in this world who are better than you, but no matter what, my father is proud of you."
Lin Fan did not forget to comfort his daughter.
After Jiang Yan returned to the inn, he started his second task, which was to create a carrier for the ghost spirits to live in for Old Guitou and Little Guitou.
He himself is a color tying craftsman, so tying color is naturally the best carrier.
Old Guitou and Little Guitou were also very excited, and they flew around beside Jiang Yan.
"Old Ghost, what do you want?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I don't like the way I look now. Just do the opposite. First, I need to be fatter. The fatter the better. Don't have too much hair and have bigger eyes."
Now the old ghost looks like a skinny guy, with deep-set facial features but long hair, giving him the impression of a thin horse with long hair.
We specially found the best bamboo silk and all the tools from Lin'an City, and our craftsmanship was not lost at all. Weaving silk, tying, papering, and painting shapes were completed in one go.
After the tattoo was done according to the old ghost's request, a fat and bald old man got a paper tattoo, which was completely different from the current one. I originally wanted to have a red one, but the old ghost was extremely satisfied.
"That's it, that's it!"
The old ghost couldn't wait to lie down in it, but his Yin spirit couldn't merge with the paper and would always pass through.
Before leaving Sanchuankou, Fang Xiangdi gave him the magical talisman. The magical talisman was a strange pattern. Jiang Gu moved his pen according to the strange pattern in his mind, and the Yin power was poured into the tip of the pen to draw the talisman.
After the talisman was completed and pasted on the paper tie, the old ghost head began to fuse with the paper tie. The original paper turned into flesh and blood, the pale skin also became red, and a smiling, half-bald old man appeared.
The old ghost was also very curious about his own body. He pinched his face with his hands. Although there was no pain, it was very real. He touched Jiang Qian's hand again.
"I feel it, I feel it," the old ghost said excitedly.
"I want it too, I want it too," the little devil said hurriedly.
"What do you like?"
"Anything works!"
As long as he can become a human being, the little devil doesn't care what he looks like.
Using the same method, Jiang Gu made another boy's hair, with a red bellyband and braids that reached the sky, a doll that looked like porcelain jade.
After being possessed by the little ghost head, it also has a sense of flesh and blood reality. In appearance, it is the same as a real person. However, these two bodies are afraid of water and fire. As long as the enchanting talisman is pulled off, the Yin spirit will be separated from the paper.
The old ghost directly picked up the little ghost and put it on his head, and the two of them giggled happily.
Because he lacks most of the memories of his previous life, the old ghost head and the little ghost head are very simple in mind. They laugh when they are happy and cry when they are sad.
The two of them were very interested in everything in the room, including a stool. The old ghost moved it over, and the little ghost moved it over and played with it happily.
They picked up some pastries on the table and stuffed them into their mouths. Even though they couldn't taste anything, maybe all they needed was this feeling of reality.
He was a little tired after staying at Sanchuankou, so Jiang Yan lay down on the bed and rested no matter what they did.
I slept until dawn. When I opened my eyes, the old man and the little man were lying at the window, dragging their chins and watching the bustle of people coming and going downstairs.
"Do you also want to go out and play?" Jiang Yan asked.
"May I?"
"Of course you can, but there are three chapters in the agreement. First, you can't tease people. Second, you can't do bad things. Of course, if you meet a bad person, the above two don't count."
After all, these two people are Yin spirits with some weird tricks. The old ghost head and the little ghost head clapped happily when they heard this.
"Let's go find the bad guys"
"Wait a minute, there are two most important things. You are not allowed to stay in one place for too long, and you are not allowed to interact with enlightened people!"
After all, they are not normal people. They always stay in one place and are in contact with people for a long time. It is easy for others to guess something from their behavior.
As for not letting them interact with enlightened people, it was mainly because Jiang Yan didn't want to cause trouble for himself and he didn't want them to get into trouble.
Ordinary enlightened people should not be able to see that the old ghost head and the little ghost head are unusual, but if you are a thief with a guilty conscience, you should always take precautions in the bud.
"OK"
Jiang Yan took out some banknotes and scattered silver coins and gave them to Old Guitou.
"This thing is money. You can use this thing to exchange for anything you want."
"I'll give you this paper crane. If you are in danger, let it fly. This paper crane will come back to me."
"I will stay in Yunzhou Qingdu for a long time in the future. If you get tired of playing, you can come to Qingdu to find me."
Old Guitou and Little Guitou were friends with him in times of adversity, and they did not abandon him to escape alone in the most dangerous time, despite Jiang Yan's mother-in-law's constant advice.
But these two people obviously didn't listen to Jiang Chan's words. They only selectively heard a few words from Jiang Chan's words, that is, you can go out and play.
The two of them picked up the paper crane and left happily. After staying in a dangerous and depressing place like Mikawakou for a hundred years, they had long wanted to see this world.
Jiang Yan had a headache and wondered if he would regret letting them leave alone in the future.
