How can I become a master of painting?

Teleported back to his room, Gu Qingzhou suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning on the couch, forcing himself to fall into a dream.

In the dream, there was still a small boat floating on the water, and a man dressed in green and unparalleled in style was playing the piano, and his slender jade fingers were plucking at the strings.The melodious piano music soothed Gu Qingzhou's heart and made him feel calm.

Gu Qingzhou said: "What's the name of this song?"

""Flowing Water"." The handsome man in Tsing Yi stopped playing the piano and said with a smile, "I haven't played the piano for a hundred years. Fortunately, I am not unfamiliar with it. How is your uncle playing?"

"It sounds good!" Gu Qingzhou praised without hesitation, "Is this "Flowing Water" talking about Boya and Zhong Ziqi?"

Gu Youzhi took his hands off the strings, got up and stroked his clothes lightly, "Don't the painting academy teach the six arts of a gentleman? Or is it that things are different and people are different in the painting academy now, and they have already given new repertoires?"

Gu Qingzhou explained: "Uncle, I can play Fengqiuhuang! My former roommate Xie Chunfeng is more proficient in piano art than me. This "Flowing Water" has now been combined with "High Mountain", called "High Mountain and Flowing Water". You often say that in the mountains and rivers, you have to meet a bosom friend, for example, he met me, so he often played in front of me."

When Gu Qingzhou talked about his roommate, his eyebrows danced with joy, and his eyes sparkled with dazzling light.

Gu Youzhi's expression was different, and he couldn't say anything in an instant.He asked: "Does your roommate please the female disciples very much?"

Gu Qingzhou nodded and said, "How did Uncle guess right?"

Gu Youzhi's expression became slightly melancholy.

Gu Qingzhou didn't know what he said wrong, so he said carefully: "Uncle, do you think there is something wrong?"

"No." Gu Youzhi sighed, "I just remembered some things in the past. Your uncle and I were once so romantic and attractive, but now I can only recall the past in the painting. Your roommate, how is it now?" ? Has graduated from the painting academy, so no longer live with you?"

"He's missing." Gu Qingzhou said with a sad expression, and forced himself to say, "Although he disappeared in the beast tide, I believe that my friend is still alive somewhere, but I can't contact me."

After Gu Youzhi listened, he picked up the piano from the desk, flicked his sleeves, and threw it out of the boat.

Plop!The guqin hit the water, causing waves to ripple.

"Uncle?" Gu Qingzhou was puzzled.

"It's just a reminiscence of my life." Gu Youzhi said lightly, "It seems that Tianjiao, who is good at playing, is not very lucky. Back then, I was outstanding at playing the piano, and I played the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" to make Gong Huanyan Called."

The patriarch of the Gong family was named Gong Huanyan, and Gu Qingzhou immediately showed sympathy when he heard it, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, but he still poked the opponent's sore foot, was blown away by a gust of wind, and hit the bow of the boat.

"Uncle—" Gu Qingzhou said aggrievedly.He would not be like this on weekdays, but saw Gong Shuo's mother go crazy, still protecting his son.He lost his mother's love since he was a child, and was touched by emotions that have been dusty for a long time. When he saw his elders, he couldn't help but unconsciously bring out a trace of dependence.

Gu Youzhi asked in a Qingyue voice: "It's a happy event for you to get rid of the spiritual restraint today and recover your cultivation base. Why are you in a bad mood instead? What happened?"

Gu Qingzhou thought of the scene in Xinyuan Xiaozhu, and confided: "I met Gong Shuo's mother today, and she held my hand during the day, asking me to get along with Gong Shuo, but hysteria broke out at night, even Gong Shuo I can't even recognize it."

After he sighed, he raised doubts: "Uncle, has Gong Shuo practiced ruthless painting?"

He felt that the lady knew best, but he couldn't ask her clearly. Fortunately, there was his uncle as a helper hidden in the palace.

"No." Gu Youzhi said firmly. "If he practices ruthless painting, it will be difficult to control. With his mother as his hostage, Gong Shuo can devote himself to Gong Huanyan, how can she be willing to give up this useful chess piece in her hand? The most intuitive expression is to practice ruthless painting." , is to abandon feelings."

Gu Qingzhou frowned, the ruthless painting is so evil, why didn't it destroy it?Why did the painting league, which is so jealous of evil, let it go for so many years?Is it because the Gong family has a painter?

He always felt that practicing ruthless painting can give birth to a painting master, and the artistic conception should not be so simple, but before seeing that set of exercises, he couldn't tell why.

Gu Qingzhou asked: "Since Gong Shuo has not practiced, why is he always so cold?"

Gu Youzhi lowered his eyes, and his long black eyelashes hid the emotion in his eyes. He said, "Before he was pushed onto the stage at a young age, he was in power in front of people. People always fear him. As for now, I think he is used to it." , the mask can’t be taken off after wearing it for a long time, I’m afraid he even forgot how to really laugh. But he is cold-tempered, just in line with Gong Huanyan’s wishes. People who don’t know the details of the Gong family mistakenly think that only the head of the family can practice ruthlessness Painting the Dao can conceal the real cultivator."

"A real cultivator? Who is it!" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Gu Youzhi raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Gong Lingyan."

"It's her?" Gu Qingzhou was surprised, "It's really Gong Lingyan? Although I had guessed it a long time ago, after seeing her in person, I thought I was wrong."

"If you don't have hot and strong feelings from the beginning, how can you break your heart after losing and turn your grief into a boost for promotion?" Gu Youzhi said while looking at the slightly turbulent water outside the boat.

"...The ruthless Dao painting is like a seed. If it is not watered with despair and pain, it will not germinate. It seems to be just a practice of nourishing the body and expanding the meridians on weekdays. It is only good for people. When it germinates by chance, it will be beneficial It is also beneficial and harmless to practitioners, because after the pain is lost, the improvement it enables people to gain is a pleasant surprise for practitioners, and it is a timely help.”

Gu Qingzhou was surprised and said: "Uncle, you described it so well. Not only is it not evil, but it is all good. Even I am tempted to practice this preparedness technique."

Gu Youzhi said with a smile: "So knowing that Gong Lingyan practiced ruthlessly, none of her close relatives stopped her. Gong Shuo loves her sister so much, but she just kept it from her. What exactly is it."

Gu Qingzhou wondered: "For so many years, did Gong Lingyan know nothing about it?"

Gu Youzhi grabbed a strand of hair in front of her chest, and stroked gently: "Even if she vaguely guessed, she still believes that Gong Shuo will not harm her, nor will her ancestors harm her. She is just so confused Practice. This exercise will not harm people, it is always the human heart that harms people."

Gu Youzhi recalled on his face: "A hundred years ago, Gong Huanyan took a shortcut when she got the ruthless painting method. Now she only has three years to live, and she once again set her mind on the Gu family, wanting to repeat the past. Let the Gong family produce another painter."

"Three-year lifespan?" Gu Qingzhou was shocked when he heard the secrets of the Gong family. When I took the shortcut, I was already a master of painting. Even if I sacrificed my life, the Gong family wouldn’t be able to get a master of painting, right?”

"The method of inheritance." Gu Youzhi explained, "Painting Saint Lu can inherit the title of Saint Painting, and Master Gong Painting can of course inherit her own cultivation. But compared to the brilliant method of inheriting the paintings of Saint Painting, she can only Dig out your painting heart and exchange it with Gong Lingyan to succeed."

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and said: "Isn't ruthless painting the way to abandon feelings? I think this Gong Huazun is unexpectedly affectionate and righteous to the Gong family."

Gu Youzhi laughed and said: "She is not for the Gong family, all she does is for herself. That Gong Lingyan looks exactly the same as her back then, what is she thinking, even if you don't tell me Guess. She wants to occupy the magpie's nest, replace her old body, and be reborn in Gong Lingyan like a phoenix. After the inheritance, the girl is Gong Huanyan, the changer. Gong Huazun who never replaces medicine with soup!"

"It turned out to be like this? Do the rest of the Gong family know what she's up to?"

"Only me." Gu Youzhi snorted softly, "I saw through her thoughts, but unfortunately, after all these years, I only met you, a descendant of the Gu family, and fell into your dream. It's a pity that even if you want to identify her, Someone has to believe it. I think the Gong family has this painting master, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it can only be borne by the Gong family themselves."

"It's really difficult." Gu Qingzhou thought about it, "It's important to get out of this quagmire of the Gong family. Who will take the initiative to step into it?"

Gu Youzhi said with a half smile but not a smile: "I see you, Qingzhou, and I really want to step in."

Gu Qingzhou quickly waved his hand and clarified: "Uncle, I know myself! I have a bunch of things I haven't solved yet, how can I take care of others. Fortunately, I only met Gong Lingyan once, and nothing has developed. As long as I Once you leave, you will stay away from trouble, and you can disrupt Gong Huazun's plan."

Gu Youzhi smiled and said nothing, looking at the other party quietly.

Gu Qingzhou looked embarrassed and asked, "Uncle, did I say something wrong?"

Gu Youzhi said: "Since your emotions have stabilized and your doubts have been resolved, let's start practicing."

"Ah?" Gu Qingzhou asked in surprise, "Uncle, what do you want me to practice in my dream?"

"Practice how to trigger the Fengqi Wutong pen holder, and take it as your own." Gu Youzhi said seriously, "I just passed a little bit of aura with you, so that you can open the badge to get things smoothly. I never thought that the remaining aura would be in your hands today. When I was practicing gestures, I resonated with the pen holder, and Gong Huanyan almost discovered it. Fortunately, she thought that her three-year lifespan was approaching, so she didn't suspect me. But from today on, don't try it easily in the outside world, lest the pen holder will change frequently. It makes people suspicious. You can only practice in your dreams, and in this world of painting, I will guide you well until you learn it and can perform it without fail."

"I'll listen to Uncle." Gu Qingzhou said obediently, "Uncle, is the time in this painting slower than the outside world? Last night I stayed in the dream for a long time, and it was just dawn when I woke up."

Gu Youzhi said: "That's true. If you practice here, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and you can also simulate success or failure, increasing your chances of winning."

Gu Qingzhou moved in his heart and said: "Uncle, can I practice the art of repairing the heart here?"

Gu Youzhi smiled and said: "Yes. You will understand how to use the world in the painting so soon."

He lowered his sleeves, dusted off a chair, sat down and said, "I see that you are already a master of painting, but your cultivation has been stored outside and not absorbed into your body. Do you have any other ideas?"

Gu Qingzhou shook his head.He just didn't switch identities, put on a black gold mask, and received Ye Mofan's prestige.

Gu Youzhi suggested: "When you become a painting king, you will definitely be perceived by Gong Huanyan. You might as well wait a little longer, and it won't be too late to advance when you act."

Gu Qingzhou nodded and said: "I listen to my uncle."

Gu Youzhi nodded, satisfied with the sensibility of his younger generation, and taught: "Who in the world can't know you, this is the condition for becoming a painting king. After you become a painting king, reputation is no longer the key to climbing up. You can Do you have a clue to take a step forward and prepare for being promoted to the Master of Painting?"

Gu Qingzhou shook his head. He upgraded too fast. It took less than a year from a painter to a master. His master Mo Xuetao didn't teach him how to go to the next level after becoming a master, and what to prepare .

"Uncle, since prestige is no longer the key, how can one become a master of painting?" He asked impatiently.
