Jiang Gu was relieved until he left the valley. The bright sun outside was completely opposite to that inside the valley.
"Why, are you scared now?" Lu Daoxuan asked with a smile.
"Who wouldn't be afraid of something like this?"
"There is actually an ancient battlefield near Panshan Mountain. It is said that the bones of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are buried in the valley. The resentment, death, and hostility are buried underground and gradually form a sinister force. Every April, as the earth's energy rises,
The city will leak a lot.
This kind of yin evil energy can easily affect strangers, causing hallucinations or affecting the character of the mind. It is not impossible for those with insufficient yang energy to die suddenly on the spot." Lu Daoxuan explained at the side.
Hearing Lu Daoxuan's explanation, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the body of Wu Laoliu he met in the valley. That sense of reality was definitely not an illusion. Who was the 'Wu Laoliu' who left the valley? Why was the Liu family's dead baby
His speaking voice is exactly the same as Wu Laoliu?
"Due to the leakage of evil spirits, Nanping Town has also passed down a unique evil festival, the Festival of Sacrifices!"
In the second half of April, every household in the town will close their doors and the whole family will gather together to resist the evil spirits. They will not go out until mid-summer when the Yang energy rises.
"What's going on with the stone walls in the valley?" Jiang Yan asked.
"We painters have a technique called Danqing method, which can give spirituality to the objects we paint. Paintings on stone walls or walls can be used as shadow walls, which can be used as house guards.
It must be that a painter passed by this place and saw that the evil spirit in the valley was too strong. In order to prevent the evil spirit from hurting people, he left this shadow mural to suppress it.
But now that the screen wall in the valley has been broken, I am afraid that Nanping Town’s Memorial Festival will be sad.” Lu Daoxuan shook his head.
Nanping Town is full of weird things, and if all the evil spirits in the valley are leaked, everyone will suffer.
"You must be the painter," Jiang Yan suddenly asked.
"I am indeed a painter, but I am not good at painting figures"
"Then who should I ask for help now..."
Jiang Qian was a little anxious. In three days there would be the Sacrifice Festival. If he couldn't think of a way, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I have seen the paper figures you drew. With your painting skills, I will give you the painting method. You should be able to control this valley."
"Really? Then old gentleman, please teach me!"
"Teaching here?"
Lu Daoxuan had a playful smile on his face, and Jiang Yan patted his head.
"I'm confused. Old sir, please come home with me. It's not far from here."
The yard where Jiang Yan lives is very small, and it is a bit crowded with paper bundles placed everywhere.
After returning home, the two of them sat down separately. Two fist-sized paper figures laboriously carried a bowl of tea to Lu Daoxuan. Lu Daoxuan was also very curious about this kind of thing.
"Who taught you this?" Lu Daoxuan asked.
"My grandfather was an enlightened tyer, but he has been dead for several years."
Lu Daoxuan was not in a hurry while drinking tea. He saw that Jiang Qian wanted to ask several questions and finally swallowed his words back.
"Do you know what enlightenment is?" Lu Daoxuan asked.
"I don't know, I became enlightened out of nowhere."
Jiang Yan thought for a while, it was impossible to tell Lu Daoxuan that he traveled here on a stormy night and became enlightened?
"When you have extremely high talent and skills in a certain way, and at the same time can feel the existence of Qi under certain opportunities, the combination of the two will lead to enlightenment and the ability to empower spirits.
Yuling Continent has the saying that all kinds of things are connected to the sky, and once enlightened, all kinds of industries can display all kinds of miraculous methods.
Enlightenment also requires the guidance of famous teachers. Not one person among a hundred thousand people may have such qualifications. People like you can become enlightened in a daze. You are either lucky or talented. But you don’t have to be proud. Enlightenment is the only way to achieve enlightenment.
Just stepping into the threshold of spiritual practice.”
"How to Practice"
This is the issue that Jiang Yan is most concerned about. His cultivation only relies on tying the color or some insignificant ghost power.
"There is a kind of spiritual energy in this world that nourishes the survival of all things. Through some air-guiding methods, the spiritual energy can be absorbed into the body, but if you want to use it in battle, you need certain means.
There are eight palaces in the world of the Three Kingdoms, and all the means of practicing and fighting are in these eight supreme schools.
Warriors use martial arts, Taoists use spells, monks use Buddhism, musicians use music, and we painters use paper and pens," said Lu Daoxuan.
"You mean that painting is also spiritual practice?"
This makes Jiang Qian a little bit incredible. Before he time traveled, he studied Chinese painting, and he has been practicing boy skills for more than 20 years. He has won many competition awards and is already well-known.
"Come and watch"
In order to give Jiang Gu a more detailed understanding, Lu Daoxuan took out pens, inks, paper and inkstones from the bamboo tube around his waist and placed them on the table, along with some various paints.
Lu Daoxuan put his pen on the paper and outlined the shape of the duck and the posture of the duck with just one stroke. After the tip of the pen was stained with fuel, he began to color. It didn't take long for a brightly colored duck to appear on the paper.
superior.
"Using calligraphy and paper as the carrier, spiritual power builds flesh and blood, calligraphy and painting frame the muscles and bones, and the strokes of the pen are perfect. This is the Wenfu painting method, and it is also the most basic method of a painter."
Jiang Yan's jaw almost dropped when he saw the scene in front of him. Lu Daoxuan waved his hand, and the green water originally on the paper flowed out of the painting and flowed in the room. A snow-white goose floated on it and looked at the water. Anthuriums
Push through the clear waves and swim slowly.
The content of the painting actually appeared before his eyes. Jiang Yan rubbed his eyes. Is this old man Ma Liang the magic brush?
"When you become enlightened, you can use your painting skills to give spirituality to the paintings you create. This is the painting spirit. It sounds simple but is actually very difficult to do. You need to study hard and practice hard..."
Lu Daoxuan was talking as Jiang Yan folded the paper in his hands, and soon a piece of paper turned into a paper crane in his hand, fluttering its heavy wings and flying past the old man's eyes...
"You learned it while I was talking?" Lu Daoxuan asked in surprise.
"I knew it myself before you told me."
Jiang Yan always felt that the enlightenment of the color-maker was very profound and obscure, and this origami was a method he learned from the color-maker.
Lu Daoxuan no longer knows how to describe Jiang Chan. Even in Wenfu, there are not many people who can learn in one day, but Jiang Chan can be self-taught?
Lu Daoxuan's words opened up a new idea for Jiang Yan. This painting method was simply a practice tailor-made for him. His skills as a painter were very high, but his painting skills were even higher, and the two were quite similar!
"Cultivation is divided into seven realms according to the accumulation of spiritual power, Enlightenment Realm, Enlightenment Realm, Living Spirit Realm, Xuanling Realm, Huiyang Realm, Qianyuan Realm, and Dengxian Realm. Poetry, calligraphy and painting are also divided into seven grades according to creative techniques, low grade,
If you want to refine the painting method, you must use the spiritual power of the seventh level to create calligraphy and painting corresponding to the seventh level. You cannot form a painting spirit if you are not yet enlightened or have not entered the level."
"How to practice spiritual power, Mr. Lu also asked me to teach you"
Lu Daoxuan seemed to have discovered a piece of rough jade, so he naturally taught him carefully and handed over the training method of Danqing method to Jiang Gu.
I was full of curiosity at first, but after hearing about it, this cultivation method is actually not that mysterious. It is actually a breathing method.
Jiang Yan could clearly feel that the world around him was filled with a spirit of vitality. Through the Danqing method, all this energy was introduced into his body and flowed through his limbs and bones.
"It doesn't seem that difficult," Jiang Yan said.
"There are three elements required to create a painting method: spiritual power, painting skills, and pigments. All three are indispensable.
Although you have a talent for painting, you are already past the best age for practicing painting. I will give you guidance for three days. Whether you can succeed in practicing depends on your talent."
Lu Daoxuan left the room after leaving his pen, ink, paper, inkstone and paint. He was also curious about the paper bundles in the yard.
