In Daxuan Kingdom, it is difficult to find holy artifacts, and it is equally difficult to find quasi-sacred artifacts, so Su Ping'an was greatly shocked when he heard that the table turned out to be a quasi-sacred artifact.
"Is there actually a semi-saint in Wen Palace?" Su Ping'an couldn't help but ask.
Liu Qingxi shook his head and said: "Wen Gong has been established for thousands of years. Although the elders of the college have devoted themselves to pursuing the holy way, no one has succeeded. However, in order to leave some strong foundation for Wen Gong, the sages of the Wen Gong branch have been painted
They came up with a way, that is, before they die, they will inject their entire life's literary energy into this 'sea of paintings' table in front of them.
After hundreds of years of cultural nourishment and the wishes of countless branch elders, this table finally became a quasi-sacred instrument more than a hundred years ago. Of course, it is also because this table embodies the wishes of countless sages.
Therefore, this quasi-sacred instrument has a function after enlightenment, that is, it can identify the level of calligraphy and painting.
Usually in the Painting Branch, if there are students whose works cannot be distinguished for a while, they will take the paintings to this table for verification. There are many stars in the table, which have been injected with literary style in the past.
It was formed by the power of the wishes of the sages.
So when the painting is placed on the table, it is equivalent to inviting the sages to appreciate it. The more stars that light up on the table, the more people the painting has been recognized by the sages..."
After listening to Liu Qingxi's description, Su Pingan was even more shocked.
He did not expect that the sages in the Wen Palace would have such great courage and perseverance to complete such a seemingly impossible thing, and yet, they succeeded!
Perhaps, somehow, Heavenly Dao was also moved by their behavior, so that's why the table became a quasi-sacred artifact.
"Since the Huadao Branch can come up with such a method to create a quasi-sacred weapon, then shouldn't other branches also have one?!" Su Pingan suddenly thought.
Liu Qingxi shook his head with a slightly sad expression and said: "Do you think that a quasi-sacred weapon is so easy to cultivate? Without the power of a saint, it needs the literary spirit of countless sages to nourish it. In order to cultivate this quasi-sacred weapon,
The elders of other branches will also pour their literary energy into this table when they die. Therefore, the hard work contained in this table is not only the sages of the Hua Dao Branch, but the hard work of the sages of the entire Wen Palace.
.”
Hearing this, Su Ping'an couldn't help but be silent. He was shocked by the selfless spirit of the sages like Wen Gong.
At this moment, even his previous dissatisfaction and grudge against Wen Gong were relieved a lot.
"The perseverance and selflessness of the ancients are really admirable, but I don't know what they would think if they knew that the current Wen Gong was not tolerant at all in order to preserve his own reputation...
…”
Su Pingan couldn't help but shook his head with emotion.
Maybe the Wen Palace in the past was really a holy place that people yearned for, but today's Wen Palace is simply disappointing.
While Su Pingan and Liu Qingxi were communicating in low voices, Xiyinting and a group of people behind him had also come to stand in front of the holy table in front of the main hall.
Xiyinting then stood in front of the steps and said loudly: "Today is the day of the 'Graduation Competition' of our Wen Palace. The purpose is to enable our Wen Palace students to communicate with literary cultivators from all over Daming Prefecture.
Mutual improvement. Usually every year in the competition, each branch will come up with a cultural treasure as a prize to reward those who can come out on top among each branch. This year we are no exception.
And our Hua Dao Academy's reward this year is a gold-quality scroll created by the elder of our Hua Dao branch, Elder Baiye, who is at the pinnacle of literary cultivation. Elder Baiye is also good at painting scrolls of ferocious beasts. I don't think I need to say more.
Do you know how powerful this painting would be if it were realized?
So in today’s competition, if you are confident, you can take the challenge. As long as you can defeat the students from our painting branch, then this painting can be taken away..."
When he said this, Xiyinting paused for a moment, then looked directly at Su Pingan, and then said: "Wenshi Su, we have finished talking about the scene. I think we should not waste time next. This competition will be decided by
Let’s get started right away.”
As if he was afraid that Su Pingan would cause trouble again, Xiyinting suddenly became much more direct after saying the scene, and he was about to confront Su Pingan at roll call.
Seeing his attitude, Su Ping'an couldn't help but smile, "Okay, that's exactly what I meant."
With that said, Su Ping'an walked forward directly and stood in front of the same steps as Xiyinting. The two looked at each other, and the smell of gunpowder seemed to fill the scene instantly.
Xiyinting stared at Su Pingan for a long time, then he narrowed his eyes slightly and broke the silence first, asking in a deep voice: "I wonder, Su Wenshi, are you better at quick painting or full painting?!"
There are two types of painting challenges.
Speed painting is about who can draw a complete painting first within the specified time. If both are completed within the specified time, then the content and level of the painting will be compared.
This requires a lot of skill and mentality on the part of the painter.
Because in the past, during competitive speed drawing competitions, some people made mistakes in a moment of impatience because they saw that their opponents could draw faster than themselves, thus ruining the entire painting.
Therefore, the speed drawing competition has quite high mental requirements.
The full painting challenge means that there is no time limit or subject matter, allowing the painter to paint as much as he likes. Only in this way can the painter show his strongest strength.
This was also the most commonly chosen method of competition in the past when competing in painting, Taoism, and literary studies.
Since Xiyinting first asked Su Pingan which one he was good at, it showed that the other party was quite confident in both quick painting and full painting.
And these words also revealed a kind of provocation. He seemed to want to challenge Su Pingan's best side and then defeat him.
Seeing this, Su Ping'an curled up his lips and said loudly: "Since there are two ways to compete, let's compete together..."
"Um?!"
Su Pingan's words puzzled many people around him, including Xiyinting.
They didn't know what Su Ping'an was thinking. Why would there be two matches when the outcome could be decided in one match?
Is it because he doesn’t have confidence in himself?!
But just when everyone was doubting, Su Pingan went on to say: "Because only in this way will you be convinced of losing!"
Wow...
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and then the surrounding Wen Gong students became angry again.
"What, this is what he meant when he asked for two games? Where does he get the confidence?"
"Oh no, does he think he is a Confucian sage?!"
"This guy is so damn arrogant!"
And Tao Waner looked at Su Ping'an at this time, and she kept complaining in her heart: This guy, if you don't pretend for a while, will you die?!
