Chapter 911 The Man in the Picture

The pursuit of longevity is because one does not want to die, so what is the purpose of living?

Tang Chengnian's words rang heavily in Shang Liujia's heart.

"You like to draw, but if you are not allowed to draw, are you still happy?"

"If you are unhappy, wouldn't living become an unpleasant thing?"

"If you live in this world and can't find something that you like and can make you happy, how boring and sad it would be."

Shang Liujia smiled, and hugged Tang Chengnian tightly: "I understand!"

If you have reached the realm of crossing the catastrophe, you have to be afraid to do something you like. Isn't this life too boring?

Shang Liujia really thanked Tang Chengnian, not the kind of gratitude to benefactors, but just felt that the lover beside him was such a considerate person, he was so happy.Although they don't know enough about each other, they are both willing to understand each other, tolerate each other, and change each other within the distance they are willing to—and at the same time, they are willing to accept changes.Maybe when they get used to each other, this lover will become a Taoist couple.

Neither Tang Chengnian nor Shang Liujia was in a hurry.

In the realm of self-cultivation, Taoist couples generally refer to husband and wife who are both self-cultivators.Ordinary couples pay attention to supporting each other, and it is the same in the cultivation world. Some people are looking for deals, but more people still hope to find someone they can trust.Of course, sometimes, many people just make do with that, or only see each other's true colors at critical moments. Such people are undoubtedly extremely miserable.

Fortunately, the relationship between Tang Chengnian and Shang Liujia is different from many others.

They saw each other's true colors clearly from the very beginning, and luckily, both of them could accept that.From the very beginning, their relationship was a transaction, saving and being rescued, some were unintentional, some were intentional, but as they gradually got to know each other, Qian Fan realized that the distance between them had grown unknowingly. So close, even though he is not sure whether he is a friend or not, yet he already has an inexplicable sense of closeness and trust towards the other party.

Maybe they don't know much about their own preferences, but this is easier to influence and accept each other.

Even if this person accepts it, whether you like painting or the tea ceremony, even if it is not the icing on the cake, it will not detract from it.

Today, Tang Chengnian and Shang Liujia are still getting used to the feeling of being together for a long time. You must know that the longest time they have been together is in Central City, but at that time they only met occasionally, and they usually went their separate ways.Now, they have to travel together and stay with each other wherever they go. Maybe they don't have to stick together, but they have to get used to it. A large part of their lives will be related to another person.

Tang Chengnian is more used to being alone, but she also hopes to get used to staying with Shang Liujia.

If you are embarrassed to stay with your lover, such a relationship is difficult to maintain.

Shang Liujia coincided with her. Although they did not communicate with each other, they made the same determination.

Being together is such a difficult thing, but if two people are willing to work hard, it is full of hope.

After clearing up the tangle in Shang Liujia's heart, Tang Chengnian looked at his painting.

"These flowers are so beautiful, can I put them away? When the time comes, they will be framed and hung in the empty shuttle of the spirit sculpture, okay?" Tang Chengnian was used to collecting them at first, but now that they have a "home", both of them have sprouted again. Tang Chengnian couldn't help but think of participating if he came up with the idea of ​​making a good arrangement.Hanging this picture on the wall, I don't know how much it can add color to it.

"That's not bad, but it's best not to hang them where those camellias are placed." Shang Liujia nodded.

In fact, hanging calligraphy and paintings on the walls is a very common design, but just now Shang Liujia always thought of planting camellias on the walls, so he naturally ignored all the arrangements related to the walls.

In fact, that doesn't matter. The Spirit Eagle Shuttle is so big and has so many cabins, and it doesn't just have one wall.

"What are you good at painting, flowers?" Tang Chengnian already knew that Shang Liujia was very interested in camellias.

"That's right, I know flowers better, and I can draw them more easily, but I can't draw those landscapes very well." Shang Liujia smiled wryly, although it is said that monks want to learn to draw with less effort than ordinary people, but they also need to practice more .However, Shang Liujia’s painting was meant to be hidden, so how could it be possible to move painting tools to the wild to "sketch"?He occasionally painted landscapes, but he only relied on his own imagination. Those works disappointed him. They were usually torn up on the spot, and none of them survived.

"Don't you like it?" Tang Chengnian didn't know what Shang Liujia was thinking, so he asked.

Shang Liujia shook his head and explained: "No, it's just that I don't draw enough and I'm not good at it."

"It doesn't matter. We will go to many places in the future, including mountains and rivers. If you want to paint, you can do it anytime."

If you don't like it, you can practice more.

Shang Liujia wrote twice in front of Tang Chengnian, and each time the focused gaze made Tang Chengnian's heart beat, as if a deer was bumping wildly. She was embarrassed to say it, but in fact, she couldn't help but want to see more of Shang Liujia's focused look.This is different from the usual Shang Liujia, when he writes, as long as Shang Liujia is concentrating, he occasionally raises his eyebrows, and every frown and smile makes Tang Chengnian's girl's heart thump wildly.For the sake of Shang Liujia, the "girly heart" who hasn't moved for a long time is about to become a runaway wild horse.

"It's useless for me to take these, you can put them away." Tang Chengnian took out a large pile of papers from the red glass jade ring, and handed them to Shang Liujia, pointing to the four treasures of the study on the table, paints, Said, "I heard that painters do what they want. Once they see something beautiful, they want to paint. In the future, if you want to paint, you can't call me every time. Naturally, you should hold it by yourself. "

After saying that, Shang Liujia looked at him with eyes that couldn't help but reject him.

Shang Liujia caught the paper first and suddenly smiled: "Beautiful?"

He looked at Tang Chengnian, selected one from the pile of papers, put it on the stone table, and put the rest away.Then he removed all the paint on the table, cleaned the pen in the brush wash, and then dipped it in the dark ink in the inkstone next to him, and stroked the inkstone a few times, with a very relaxed and freehand gesture. It landed on the paper, still only the tip of the pen.The paper he picked this time is harder to get ink on than the one Tang Chengnian picked just now, but that doesn't mean it doesn't absorb ink. As soon as the tip of the pen is drawn across, the ink marks will dry on the paper. Of course, this also has nothing to do with his handwriting. very fine about.

One stroke at a time, neat and tidy, Shang Liujia was very casual, and in a short while he outlined a slim beauty on the paper.

Her black hair was tied back, her hands were behind her back, and her posture was arrogant. Although she was walking forward, she was looking back.

With slender arms and narrow waist, the long skirt fluttered to the ground like mercury, giving her an air of ecstasy.

"Who did you draw?" Tang Chengnian asked.

"Far in the sky, right in front of you."

Shang Liujia raised his head, glanced at her carefully, then lowered his head with a smile, and began to draw the face of that slender beauty.

The eyebrows are not thin and willow-leaf shaped, which looks heroic, but it does not match her slender beauty, but soon, Shang Liujia drew her eyes, the eyes are full of joy, the eyelashes are fine and dense, slightly covering the eyes , the pupils in the eye sockets account for a lot of parts, these factors are mixed together, making the eyes have a sense of confusion, the tip of the nose is rounded, and the sharpness is reduced by three points, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, although only ink is used, it is also delicate. Depicting the fullness of her lips.

Seeing this, Tang Chengnian stared at the woman in the painting, already stunned.

Shang Liujia washed off the ink, dipped it in cinnabar, and gently tapped it between the woman's eyebrows.

He raised his head and said with a smile: "You're right, seeing a beauty, I didn't know how to write before. I'm so sorry for the skills I learned."

This is just a joke. In the past, Shang Liujia regarded painting as a favorite burden. He only started to paint when he couldn't help it. But when Tang Chengnian told him that, he was relieved and picked it up again as a fun thing.

When Tang Chengnian walked to the painting, Shang Liujia stepped aside so that she could appreciate it carefully.

Needless to say, the woman in the painting is Tang Chengnian, who is far away and close to Shang Liujia.

"The one you drew is indeed me."

Tang Chengnian almost couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but the woman in this painting did capture all her characteristics.

She has a sharp heart, but hides herself very well for a lot of time.

But how could Shang Liujia not notice it?
He even painted this feeling of still holding the pipa and half covering his face.

"Your painting skills are simply... amazing!" Tang Chengnian praised sincerely.

Shang Liujia was proud and showed it.

How can you not be proud?Not only was he praised for what he liked to do, but Tang Chengnian was the one who praised him.

His lover likes this, and, seems to have a little adoration?Shang Liujia had a rare sense of pride.

"I like this painting too." Tang Chengnian picked it up from the stone table willfully, and asked, "Is the ink dry? Can I roll it up?"

But after finishing speaking, Tang Chengnian shook his head again, and said to himself: "Let's just put it away."

There is a scroll when it is rolled up, and there is only one piece of paper here, which has not been framed with a scroll.So Tang Chengnian quickly realized that she didn't continue to scroll it, otherwise the painting would be ruined by her.

Then, with a thought in her mind, the painting fell into her system warehouse.

There is an extra picture in the grid of the system warehouse, and there will be an introduction to the item under the grid, probably because this is the only picture Tang Chengnian put in the system warehouse, so the name of the system is quite simple: in the picture people.

When Tang Chengnian finished all this, Shang Liujia was still in a daze without reacting.

Put it away now?

Seeing Shang Liujia's dumbfounded, Tang Chengnian asked: "Why, aren't you willing to give it away? That's not okay, I'll take it away, it's mine."

Shang Liujia chuckled, and patted her on the head lightly: "Even if you don't want it, I have to give it to you."
