Doutu Continent

Mo Xuetao: "It's ugly!"

Mo Xuetao: "Ugly as always."

Mo Xuetao: "It looks like you painted it."

Gu Qingzhou "..."

After three consecutive strikes, Mo Xuetao finally cared about his apprentice's face, and remedied it: "It looks like you drew it after you were injured. The injury has not healed yet. Listen to Master and cultivate more."

Gu Qingzhou was about to cry.He didn't want to paint like this, but he couldn't control his hands.

Influenced by the way of painting, Doutu Dalu's paintings all pursue lifelikeness. Even if ink painting emphasizes meaning over shape, there must be a shape.

What did Gu Qingzhou draw?A trembling and irregular circle is regarded as a face, and the facial features are... without aesthetic feeling, subverting the traditional aesthetics.Even Mo Xuetao, who was born in the Mochi Painting Academy and the head of the two schools, couldn't appreciate it.

The aesthetics of Doutu Continental has to start from the origin of painting.From the "finishing touch" allusion.

Zhang Sengyou, a great painter in the Liang Dynasty, painted four dragons on the wall of Anle Temple in Jinling.These dragons are lifelike, just like they are alive, but Zhang Sengyou is not eye-catching.Because if you put eyeballs on the dragon, the dragon will break through the wall and fly away.Everyone didn't believe it, so Zhang Sengyou was forced to draw eyes on two of the dragons. After "finishing the eyes", the two dragons broke through the wall and flew away without knowing where they ended up.There are only two dragons that have not been "finished" on the wall.

This is the finishing touch story.

At this point, the way of painting was born, and the painters also mastered the skill of "finishing the eyes".

No matter what they paint, everyone pursues lifelikeness, imitating Zhang Sengyou, the "Painting Ancestor".How could he be as casual as Gu Qingzhou?His emoji painting style is simply a mudslide in the painting world, which is too subversive.

Gu Qingzhou showed the emoticon pack to the master, which can be said to be very courageous.But it is better to be ridiculed for painting skills than to be treated as a weak person and always be treated with caution.

Although Mo Xuetao looked disgusted, out of trust in his apprentice, he still reached out to take the paper, pinched the emoji and read it casually, his face changed.

Gu Qingzhou's painting style is unique, but the effect is unprecedented, and the power is astonishing.

"Let's go to the back mountain with master! Let me see your skills!"

With a thought in Mo Xuetao's mind, two beautiful cranes appeared in front of them.

Although Gu Qingzhou couldn't tell the color, he could still see that the crane's feathers were as white as snow, and the crane's crown was gorgeous with a red crown. When connected with the extravagance of Master's use of bloodstone in the painting, Gu Qingzhou could feel the bright red of the crane's crown so dazzling.

These two cranes, drawn by Mo Xuetao, stretched their wings and displayed in front of Gu Qingzhou in a leisurely and refined manner. At this moment, he felt the beauty of the painting, and the contrast with himself became more and more intense.

"The red top should inherit the sun, and the frost feathers will not be stained with mud." Gu Qingzhou thought of the poem describing the crane, and his heart was full of emotion.

"Okay, don't immerse yourself in the paintings of the master. Quickly ride the crane and go to the back mountain with the master."

Mo Xuetao flew in the sky on a crane, his clothes fluttering, and his appearance was like a fairy. Gu Qingzhou hurriedly followed him all the way on the crane.

There is a special place in the painting academy for students to experiment with the effect of "finishing the eyes", and the back mountain of the painting academy is the site of the teachers. Without the guidance of the teachers, the students will just circle around in circles, and they can't even find the back mountain.

Gu Qingzhou has been under the master's favor and has been there several times. It is absolutely secluded and undisturbed, and it is enough to keep it secret.

Once at the place, Mo Xuetao included the crane in the scroll, and Gu Qingzhou looked at the place where the crane disappeared, reluctantly looking back.

Mo Xuetao's mansion said with his hands behind his back: "There is no one in the back mountain today, so I will try your picture here."

Gu Qingzhou's fingers touched the emoji package, his eyes locked on a palm-sized stone, and he said: "Put your eyes on!"

【Why don't you go to heaven.jpg】The effect is triggered.

The fist-sized stone rose straight up, and this time it rose to the height of two trees before being smashed down hard.

"Boom!" The stone smashed a hole, and the surrounding mud splashed.

Mo Xuetao's eyes were fixed, and he already thought about what happened to his apprentice "playing with mud" in the courtyard just now.

"Again!" Mo Xuetao sternly said, "If you want to prove that you have the ability to protect yourself and are not weak and bully, then use your best ability to prove it to me!"

Gu Qingzhou was so emotional that he locked onto a big rock that needed to be hugged with open arms.

"Dotting!" He shouted while pinching the picture in his hand.

The big rock flew up into the sky, casting a huge shadow. Just by looking at it, you can feel the power it will have when it hits the ground.

Gu Qingzhou didn't take it directly this time, but slowed down his emotions, and deliberately let the stone gradually fall back from the terrifying height.

But how can it be so easy to control emotions?Gu Qingzhou just mastered the usage of this emoticon pack, and he is not proficient at all.When the boulder fell to the height of the tree crown, his agitated emotions had dissipated, and the stone was about to hit the ground.

Mo Xuetao raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and all the birds emerged out of thin air, lifting and grabbing around the stone.The falling movement of the boulder slowed down, but the birds flying out of the painting were already crushed to the point that their black feathers scattered, and they couldn't support the boulder after all.

When the boulder fell to the height of a person on the ground, the ink of the birds disappeared and returned to Mo Xuetao's painting. The birds in the painting seemed to have gone through a hundred years, and the color of the ink became lighter and faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, not as bright as before.

"Boom!"

The big rock finally hit the ground, shaking the surrounding ground, and even the leaves were shaken down one after another.Mo Xuetao raised his hand to take a leaf, squinted his eyes with a smile, and couldn't hide the upturned corners of his mouth.

"Gu Qingzhou, you are a great surprise to me! This is your self-protection ability? It scared me, Master. Very good, very good!"

Gu Qingzhou was also happy to be praised by his master, but Mo Xuetao changed his tone.

"It's just this style of painting, this power... as a teacher, I hope you don't show this to others. You can't bear the consequences."

"Master is saying that this picture will cause me trouble?"

"You should also realize that this picture deviates from orthodoxy and is too shocking. Once it is born, it will set off a stormy sea. If you don't want to be condemned by others, before you are strong enough, don't show this picture in front of others. Even if Be more cautious when using it yourself."

"Thank you, Master, for your reminder, I understand." Gu Qingzhou listened to the instruction and replied sincerely.Mo Xuetao thought about him everywhere, not only thinking about the present, but also looking at the long-term.

Mo Xuetao said: "You have already become a painter. To go further, you need to have paintings to show people. The more people recognize you and copy your works, the greater your reputation will be, and the faster you will be promoted to a painter. Infamy is also famous, and it can give you Increase your cultivation base and become a booster for your promotion, does it contradict what Master said before?"

Gu Qingzhou shook his head, and said firmly: "I have always understood that there is no shortcut to painting."

Mo Xuetao said with relief: "Many people who have absorbed foreign painting skills have become painters or even painters by virtue of abilities that do not belong to them, but the expectations of you as a teacher are not limited to this. Just like you know that the effect of this picture is amazing, It is easy to make a blockbuster out of this, but even why it is so simple, yet powerful and abnormal has not yet been thoroughly understood.”

Gu Qingzhou thought of the little fat bird he drew with one stroke the night of the attack. The composition of the picture was obviously very simple, but as long as he thought about it deeply, he would have a splitting headache.

Gu Qingzhou was thoughtful.

Mo Xuetao said: "So as a teacher, I hope you will not be unable to withstand the temptation and try to take shortcuts. If you are classified as an evil painter, the teacher cannot protect you well. Even if you are lucky enough to become a painter by relying on the reputation gained from controversy, In the future, the road will become narrower and narrower. If you want to keep walking on the road of painting and reach a higher level, you can only rely on your true skills."

"You don't need to understand now. As long as you learn painting steadily and practice painting skills hard, when you have a solid foundation, your strength will naturally follow. When you become a master of painting like Master, or go further to become a master of painting, then take out this Zhang Tu will not be conspicuous. Because your strength has been recognized. Even if you draw a line, you will be sought after by others. At that time, you must have understood the truth."

Gu Qingzhou bowed to the other party and said: "Master's painstaking efforts, my disciples must remember that I, Gu Qingzhou, will definitely practice my painting skills hard in the future, and be recognized by the world with my true skills. I will never rely on inspiration from foreign lands and opportunistic tricks."

Mo Xuetao nodded and said, "As a teacher, I know that you don't have to hold back the power you have. So when you really can't hold back and want to show people these things, you might as well change your identity."

"..." Gu Qingzhou was dumbfounded.

"A teacher is not such a rigid person. If you have strength, you don't have to wait to be beaten?" Mo Xuetao said with a smile: "But you must know what you are doing. On the way of pursuing the way of painting, you must not lose your heart. This is what I most want to teach you as a teacher."
