Doutu Continent

"Mr. Mo, has your apprentice ever woken up?"

"I have been in a coma for two days, but fortunately there is no danger of my life."

"Alas, in troubled times, the beloved disciple of that Venerable Master of the Suzaku Academy of Painting, Chi Ling's painting heart was taken away, and he even lost his life. Gu Qingzhou..."

Gu Qingzhou woke up from his daze, and vaguely heard his master talking to someone. When he moved a little, the voice outside disappeared, and someone came in after a while.

The visitor used the ivory fan bone to open the curtain, and the big gemstones inlaid on the fan pendant were shining brightly. On the feet that stepped into the bedroom, even the uppers of the shoes were covered with pearl gemstones, the pearls were dazzling.

This person wore a lot of precious ornaments on his body, and the jade and jade ornaments on his body struck each other. It was a crisp and pleasant voice, and it was also the voice that reassured Gu Qingzhou the most.

A palm reached out and covered his forehead, taking care to avoid the wound.

"The fever is finally gone!"

"Master—" Gu Qingzhou pushed aside the complicated bead chain on the opponent's chest, and squeezed his face to rub against it.

"Don't move around, hold down my orb, don't put it on your face!" The visitor laughed and cursed, his tone couldn't be more gentle, only those who are familiar with him can hear such a trace of it from the deliberately soft voice. Unconscious arrogance.

This person is his teacher Mo Xuetao, who is said to be the heir of the Gemstone Painting School, although he himself has never admitted it.However, the consumables used for self-made paints are enough to bankrupt more than [-]% of painters.

Others use cinnabar, realgar, malachite, clam powder, etc. to grind and paint, but he uses bloodstone, agate, amber, Tianhuang, and even fine jadeite, pearls, and emeralds cannot escape being ground.So his Runge is also frighteningly tall, and people who want to paint are flocking to him.

These fan pendants, pouches, sachets, and ring masks, which are regarded as treasures in the eyes of others, are worn by the master, but they are only paints that can be painted at any time.

He is full of jewels and riches, and Mo Xuetao looks graceful and elegant. He is also one of the most popular teachers in the Academy of Painting.

Gu Qingzhou's eyesight was impaired, and he felt that the master's shiny jewelry was kind, and his eyes became moist unconsciously.

"Master..." Thousands of words came to my lips but I didn't know where to start.

"Qing Zhou, I am here as a teacher." Mo Xuetao pinched his cheek and said softly, "I brought you into the painting academy ten years ago, you cried once, and you have never seen him again in these years. Yes. Even if you have been wronged yourself, you never show it in front of me. Qingzhou, this is the second time I see you cry."

"The apprentice made the master worry." Gu Qingzhou got up from the other party's arms, and said embarrassedly, "I don't feel wronged, and I don't want to cry now, but..."

"But the tears can't be stopped." Mo Xuetao replied on his behalf, with a solemn expression.He lightly covered Gu Qingzhou's eyelids with his fingers, wiping away the tears, but his fingertips were soon wet again.

"My dear apprentice, you are crying because your body is telling you that you are seriously injured." Mo Xuetao rubbed the other party's hair and said, "The heart-picking hand that has been extinct for 20 years has reappeared in the five major painting academies. I am very happy that you survived."

"Heart-picking hand?" Even though he had never heard of it, Gu Qingzhou also realized the seriousness of the matter from the master's dignified expression.He suddenly remembered the danger of that night, and hurriedly said: "Master! Junior brother Wang who protected me that day, how is he now! Is...is he alright?"

The master didn't answer him immediately, but sighed softly: "The child is no longer here."

"..."

"Don't think about it too much, the Academy of Painting will find out what happened and take care of your injuries."

Although he had prepared for the worst, Gu Qingzhou felt really uncomfortable when Junior Brother Wang died because of his own reasons.He still has some doubts about Junior Brother Wang, and he can't open his mouth now.

After stabilizing his emotions for a while, he asked, "Master, what is a heart-picking hand?"

Mo Xuetao paused with his hand in his hair, sighed and said, "There are five kinds of painting hearts in the world, corresponding to five colors and five elements. They are Chiling, Qinggen, Huangji, Baiyao, and Heihai, collectively known as five-color painting. Heart."

"Picking the heart is a sinister technique. There is only one move, which is to pierce the center of the eyebrows and leave a blood hole. This move can capture the hearts of the world, plunder the qualifications of other painters, and achieve oneself. It should have disappeared 20 years ago. gone."

"But it reappeared." Mo Xuetao's eyes showed coldness, "Three days ago, the dean of the Suzaku Painting Academy sent a letter by Dapeng, spreading the news that his beloved apprentice was taken away by others, and Chi Linghua's heart was taken away. The fifth academy intends to remind all the academy to be alert and to seek countermeasures together. Dapeng spreads his wings a thousand miles a day, but he is still a step behind. I almost lost my apprentice and became the object of pity for the entire painting academy."

"..." The most face-saving master almost became a pitiful person. Gu Qingzhou didn't know whether to comfort the other party or comfort the more pitiful self.

When he woke up in pain that night, he realized that he had lost something very important.Is it because his heart was taken away that his eyesight was damaged, and now he is crying even more?

Of the five colors, green is the liver.

The damage to his heart affects the liver, and the damage of the liver directly affects the eyes and appears on the nails...

Gu Qingzhou looked down at his hands, but he was half-blind, unable to tell whether his nails were ruddy or pale.

He just kept his head down, thinking that he had been brainwashed, so he quickly raised it up.

"Master, has my Qingen Eixin... been picked too?"

"Master, am I disfigured?"

Mo Xuetao rubbed his black hair and said: "I don't want to lie to you as a teacher. Yes! But that person has not learned his skills, and your heart has not been completely stripped. There is still hope for you to recover from your injuries."

"Master, did you mean painted heart or my face?"

"..." The fan bone in Master Mo's hand couldn't hold back.

"Qingzhou, I send you four words for my teacher: contentment and happiness. That unlucky bastard from the Suzaku Academy of Painting, Chi Linghuaxin was picked clean. If you have a heart, you will die if you don't have a heart. Poor Dean Zhu is so old. You need white-haired people to give black-haired people. You are different, you still have a chance."

Gu Qingzhou responded with a low voice.Green belongs to wood, which originally represents vitality, and a glimmer of vitality naturally represents hope, and there are countless opportunities.

Even if it is to defend his master's face, he can't feel sorry for himself. He has to live strong so that his master will not lose his beloved disciple and become the object of sympathy for everyone.And as a painter, I don't need the sympathy of others.

Mo Xuetao didn't know that his apprentice was slandering him in his heart, so he smoothed out the messy hair of the other party, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qingzhou is more optimistic and stronger than he imagined. Even in the most difficult moment, he tried his best to amuse him and didn't want him to worry. He was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

He looked at the other party's pale face, a pair of teary eyes, especially lovely and pitiful.

Pity……

Gu Qingzhou has been good-looking since he was a child, and his appearance is not crooked now. The young man's fresh and handsome appearance is pleasing, especially his pair of eyes, which are clear and bright without being charming or bewitching, just like holding a bend of spring water in the dog days, which is particularly attractive ,impressive.

Now these eyes are watery, adding a third of weakness, which reminds people of the misty rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River, and also reminds him of ten years ago, when he brought the little Gu Qingzhou back to the painting academy.

The little guy who left his parents, his eyes were red from crying, Gu Qingzhou at that time was really weak, pitiful and helpless.

I thought it was a bag of tears, so I had to coax him well, but I didn't expect him to miss it. This child is stronger than anyone else.Ten years, this is the second time he saw each other cry.

Even if he fell into a trough and was secretly bullied, he never saw Gu Qingzhou make a sound.

In the past few years, he waited for the other party to ask for help, but the other party struggled silently.The first time he waited for the other party to call for help, it turned out to be the scene where blood poured into his arms and almost died.

Recalling the scene that happened two days ago, Mo Xuetao felt suffocated and suffocated.

Scream bitterly, is it so difficult?

Mo Xuetao glanced at the other party's watery eyes, and his heart softened.

After the accident, the child seemed to have become fond of acting like a baby, but for this disciple, it was not entirely a bad thing.

People's hearts are fleshy, and Gu Qingzhou's ability to cry makes him feel bad, and it can also move others.Mo Xuetao had a school in his heart, even if this apprentice was abolished, he would find a way to keep him in the painting academy.

"Master, you're staring at me so much that I'm panicking." Gu Qingzhou shuddered.

Mo Xuetao said reservedly: "You have handed in all the paintings, what are you afraid of? I am planning your future way out for you as a teacher. Tell me the truth, how blind are your eyes now?"

"...The apprentice is not blind."

"impossible."

"Master——" Gu Qingzhou said frankly, "I can see things! It's just that everything is gray, as if separated by a layer of veil, I can distinguish the changes in light and dark."

Mo Xuetao pinched the center of his brows, knowing the current situation.

He comforted: "You Huixin was severely injured, you are alive, and you are not completely blind. Frankly speaking, you have brought too many accidents to the teacher."

"..." Sure enough, it was my master.

"So, your eyes can see clearly the face of the teacher? Can you see clearly the handsome face of the teacher?"

"... I can see clearly." The corners of Gu Qingzhou's eyes twitched.

"My dear disciple, can you see the style of this new robe for Master?"

"Can see. Just can't tell the colors."

"Master, I understand." Mo Xuetao waved his hand in front of his eyes, "Tell me, what color is this emerald finger ring?"

"...Master, you revealed your color to me!"

"Oh, what about this string of deep sea pearls for Master?"

"...Dark color, is it a black pearl?"

"This is a string of shallow water purple pearls. I probably know what's going on with you now."

"..."

After some testing, Mo Xuetao initially thought that the other party was pretending to be optimistic, but found that Gu Qingzhou's mentality was very good, which was not in line with common sense, and there must be something happening that he didn't know about.For example... the little bird that sent the message.He had never seen a bird so poorly drawn.

"Tell me about the details of that day, by the way, and that... that little fat bird that looks very emotional, was it you who drew it?"

【Angry Birds.jpg】

Gu Qingzhou's body was stiff, what should come is still here.What frightened him at this moment was not forcing himself to recall the tragedy of being robbed of his painting heart, but the fact that his master questioned why his painting skills had deteriorated so much.

Throwing away the miscellaneous images that resurfaced in his mind, Gu Qingzhou began to recall that night.

From the time when he had a problem drinking Dao tea to when he was recognized by Dao Dao, he told the truth all over again, except for concealing that his first soul map was an emoji.

"You have become a painter?" Mo Xuetao was pleasantly surprised when he heard that.

"Master, this disciple will prove it to you!" Gu Qingzhou closed his eyes and experienced it for a while, using the abilities he would have after becoming a painter, a layer of light mask emerged around his body.

However, the light mask that should have been turquoise, except for the remaining color of Aone Eshin on the edge of the top of the head, the other places are gray.This time without using his eyes, his perception clearly fed back to him what the mask looked like.

【Love is a ray of light, green to the point of panic.jpg】

Somehow, a picture from a foreign land appeared in my mind.Gu Qingzhou's mind was shaken, and the cover all over his body immediately shattered.
