Doutu Continent

Do you want to?

Gu Qingzhou lowered his eyes, staring in a daze at the figure paintings that only depicted outlines.

"Do you want me to finish the painting?" Gu Qingzhou murmured.

He guessed that the portrait he hadn't unfolded was the ancestor Gu Youzhi.This portrait is hidden so secretly, no one should have seen it, right?At least Steward Geng's reaction to the painting was normal.

His ancestor hinted in his dream that he would continue to paint, and now that he knew that the danger of exposure was reduced, Gu Qingzhou readily decided to do so.As for how to use this copied painting in the future, exchange the fake for the real one in the Buddhist hall.Since Gu Youzhi has dreamed twice, there will be more instructions later, right?

After thinking about this, Gu Qingzhou went back to the bed to catch up on sleep.The body is very sleepy, but the spirit is happy but I can't fall asleep, thinking about everything that happened that day.

His ancestors must have influenced his subconscious mind in his dreams.Otherwise, he would not take the risk of copying the portrait of the other party, at least not now.

Gu Qingzhou didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up the next day, the sun was already high.The Tiangong Spirit Smoke did not appear this day. He thought that the girl's reservedness made the other party muster up the courage to come to him only once and never take the initiative again. But he heard from Butler Geng that the other party went to pray to Buddha early in the morning to pray for his family.

As soon as Gu Qingzhou heard it, he knew that the other party was worried about Gong Shuo and prayed for his safety.From yesterday, he could see that the relationship between the siblings was very good.

"Miss Gong went out? Which temple did you go to?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Butler Geng said with an ambiguous and gratified smile, "Miss didn't go out, but she was worshiping the Buddha in the Buddhist hall at home."

"At home?" Gu Qingzhou asked with a thought, "Where is she?"

Butler Geng thought that Gu Qingzhou and his young lady met each other, so he smiled enthusiastically and said, "That place is forbidden by the palace family, even I can't get in. Is Young Master Gu looking for Miss Lingyan? I can tell you the truth on your behalf. .Miss is already a student of Qingyun Academy of Painting, and she is new here, and there are still many things that need to be pointed out by your senior brother..."

Gu Qingzhou hurriedly stopped the other party from talking endlessly.Knowing what he wanted to know the most, he interrupted the other party and said: "I'll just ask casually. I'm weak and can't bear to toss about it. Cough——I'll see Miss Gong again when I recover."

He raised his wrist and lifted it up. The thin chain of the spirit-forbidden manacles hung down, and in the sight of the other party, it swayed in the air and made a sound.

Butler Geng was embarrassed, not because he couldn't find a locksmith who could open the handcuffs so far, but because Gong Lingyan didn't restrain his strength when he got along with the other party yesterday, and he almost slapped Gu Qingzhou on the ground. arrive.

Butler Geng hurriedly tried to save his lady's favor by saying, "My lady is kind-hearted, and she followed her ancestors to cultivate her heart and worship Buddha. The accident in Weilong City had nothing to do with her, but the lady volunteered to help many wounded people as much as she could. .”

Gu Qingzhou listened perfunctorily, he had found out important information from the other party, and the Buddhist hall was indeed the place he passed by yesterday.It is a forbidden area for others, but Gong Lingyan can come and go freely, which shows that the patriarch of the Gong family loves her very much.

Originally, when he heard this, he didn't continue to scare the snake. Since the other party was still talking about this topic, he pretended to be interested in this topic, and said casually: "What kind of Buddha does Miss Gong usually worship? Shakyamuni or Maitreya Buddha?"

There was nothing to talk about, but Butler Geng's smile became even brighter.He hurriedly replied, "It's the merciful and compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva."

Gu Qingzhou nodded and stopped talking, he was afraid that if he mentioned Gong Lingyan again, the Gong family would really misunderstand.

The scene in the dream reverberated in my mind, and the dream really wasn't made casually.The scenes in the dream correspond to reality one by one.That portrait is behind the Guanyin statue in the Buddhist hall.

Gu Qingzhou started today's practice, drawing daily homework as usual, practicing paintings, and asked Steward Geng for a collection of paintings by famous artists as a reference, and also asked for a full-length mirror.Even such a blunt request, butler Geng also complied with him.

Because I am afraid that I will be affected by the dream, I will do reckless things.From the moment Gu Qingzhou held the pen, he only practiced the basic skills wholeheartedly.Only when the impatience in his heart that didn't belong to him gradually subsided and no longer affected his judgment, he began to add a few strokes to the unfinished figure painting.

Time flies by, there is no dream all night, and when I wake up, the sky is already pale.

This is already the third day he started painting.Gu Qingzhou found that Steward Geng had no reaction to the figure paintings he drew, so he felt relieved and bold.

In order to conceal his real purpose, he began to draw a self-portrait, referring to the paintings of famous artists brought by Butler Geng and his image in the mirror, and drew many waste drafts in succession.

At this time, Butler Geng was no longer interested in staring at him. Without the other party's supervision, the boy was not as diligent as before in emptying the wastebasket.

Gu Qingzhou learned from them that Gong Shuo had returned home.

When he came back this time, the other party was already the official patriarch of the palace family, and the patriarch had already ordered someone to prepare for the patriarchal ceremony. Steward Geng would not fall behind and go to visit him, so he couldn't take care of it for a while.

Gu Qingzhou stayed in the room all day without going out, writing constantly.Gu Youzhi's image took shape little by little on the rice paper.He rushed to finish the painting before the sun went down, and mixed this painting with a pile of unfinished self-portraits.

As night fell, Gu Qingzhou woke up suddenly and found himself in a strange environment that he had never seen before.A small boat in the lake is rippling in the center of the lake, surrounded by the endless water of the lake.

The water waves are so real, Gu Qingzhou came to the front of the boat, leaned over to scoop up a bay of water, it was clear and cool, it flowed cleanly from the palm of his hand, and ripples formed circles on the lake.

The scenery in this dream is so beautiful, it's not so much a dream, it's better to say that he was in his sleep and was pulled into another dimension.

While Gu Qingzhou was still playing in the water, someone said, "Does the scenery I chose for you match your name, Gu Qingzhou?"

The voice of a beautiful adult man is calm and gentle.

Gu Qingzhou turned his head to look and saw the face of the other party.Although he had already guessed that it was Gu Youzhi, he was still amazed by his similar appearance and unparalleled temperament.

He shouted: "Old ancestor!"

The man raised his head to support his forehead, and said leisurely: "...You can call me Youzhi."

Gu Qingzhou shook his head hastily, and said in fear: "I dare not. My father needs to know that I am not big or small in front of my ancestors, and he will take care of me in the family law."

Gu Qingzhou, who was chased and beaten from behind since he was a child, has a shadow in his heart. At first, he just wasted a few pieces of rice paper, but this time he is facing his elders who have been separated for several generations!

"What are you afraid of in your dream? I can't bring your father into the painting." Gu Youzhi smiled and said, "Are you blaming me for disturbing people's dreams?"

"No." Gu Qingzhou said the truth.After the initial surprise of facing his ancestors, Gu Qingzhou can already look at each other calmly. "This is the world in the painting? Old ancestor, what are you now?"

"Don't call me that." Gu Youzhi said helplessly, "I don't want to have anything to do with Gong Huanyan now, even if it's just the same name."

The name of the ancestor of the Gong family is Gong Huanyan, but no one knows it anymore.

Gu Youzhi said: "You are the king of painting, and I am also the king of painting. You and I are in the same realm, so there is no need to stick to the common rituals of the world. If you care about blood relationship, just call me uncle."

"...Uncle." Gu Qingzhou's mind went blank, he didn't know what to say, the amount of information was too much.

Hearing his words, Gu Youzhi smiled slightly.

Gu Qingzhou called out all the calls, no longer entangled in the address, and followed the other party's wishes.What he cares about is the information revealed by the other party just now.

Gu Qingzhou was surprised and said: "I'm the painting king?"

"What level have you reached, and you don't have any points?" Gu Youzhi began to doubt whether his choice was correct, why did he wait for such an unreliable junior in the family?But after waiting for hundreds of years, he met such a Gu family, and he had no choice.

"Gu Qingzhou, if it weren't for the fact that you and I have the same blood and the same realm. The closest condition, I wouldn't have easily entered your dream and brought you to the world in the painting."

This is already the second time he mentioned the painting.

Gu Youzhi folded his hands naturally, his flowing sleeves were hanging down, and his standing posture was casual and elegant.

He said: "I am the fairy in the painting."

"The fairy in the painting!" Gu Qingzhou was startled, and looked at the other party with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.The Immortal in the painting was called Jilingtu in the past, and it used the method of drawing Mo Nu to draw the deceased in the scroll.But that's just routine.

Fifty miles outside Weilong City, Qin Wuji deliberately threatened to turn him into a fairy in the painting in order not to let him enter the city. He once said another way.

"Do you know that the fairy in the painting in the eyes of the evil painter is to put a living person into the painting first, and then seal his consciousness in the painting when the living person turns into a dead person, so that he will remain young and beautiful forever? The fresh body after finishing the eyes, It is no different from a living person, but it is more obedient and can meet all the requirements of the eye-dotting person. Isn’t it great to maintain the original consciousness but not be able to resist?”

When Qin Wuji said those words to scare him back then, the corners of his mouth curled up vividly.

He didn't know what kind of experience the other party had, but in connection with the fact that Gu Youzhi had no bones left at the time, he guessed that his ancestor was the latter.

Gu Youzhi smiled calmly and said: "From the picture of sending spirits to the fairy in the painting, to the outside world, they are just called differently, but Gong Huanyan really found the extremely rare and precious Longyun Huangteng paper that exists in the world, completely according to the original It is also the only method for the birth of the fairy in the painting, and I will be sealed as the fairy in the painting with the pardon paper. Now I am enshrined in incense, and I have some fairy methods to meet you."

"A pardon to enshrine the gods!" Gu Qingzhou said in surprise, "It's so crazy!"

"She's really willing to use the pardon on me." Gu Youzhi's smile became a little bitter.

Gu Qingzhou became more and more sympathetic to the other party. The fairy in the painting could not resist the painter. For the past hundred years, his ancestors would not be allowed to do whatever the other party wanted every day, right?

"What kind of filthy thoughts are you thinking, stop quickly!" Gu Youzhi waved his sleeves, pushed Gu Qingzhou aside, kept away from him, and said with introverted eyes, "She doesn't know what a real fairy in the painting should look like. , I have been pretending to be crazy and foolish for a hundred years, demented like a wooden man, but she did nothing to me."

Gu Qingzhou was just a thought, but the other party noticed it, so he didn't dare to think about it.

Gu Youzhi said: "In the past hundred years, I have not gained nothing. Gong Huanyan has a tree-type treasure-the Fengqi Wutong pen holder, which has been kept by her for a hundred years, do you know?"

Gu Qingzhou nodded and said: "The Gong family still wants to use this thing in exchange to let me marry in."

Gu Youzhi laughed: "Gong Huanyan is really willing to give it to you? I can't see it."

Gu Qingzhou said: "So I didn't agree, so the Gong family used force to 'invite' me here."

"It is indeed a common method used by the Gong family." Gu Youzhi nodded, with a smile on his lips, "The Fengqi Wutong pen holder is a good thing, do you want it?"
