Doutu Continent

As soon as Yun Zhixian left, although Gu Qingzhou was leaning on the soft cushion, he was no longer weak enough to faint at any time, and a sharp light of scrutiny condensed in his eyes.

"It seems that Tiexinshou does not intend to leave the painting academy and abandon his current identity." Gu Qingzhou analyzed.After all, the title of disciple of the five major painting academies is still very satisfying when encountering Ye Luzi outside, and it is also the best disguise.

The other party did not leave after killing him, and now he is testing him again, obviously reluctant to part with the identity that has been in business for many years.

Gu Qingzhou really wanted to identify the other party as the heart-trapper, but under the premise that the effect of the first natal spirit map was not exposed, he had a vague memory of that night.He couldn't tell what clothes the other party was wearing that night, what shoes, whether he was covering his face, or what techniques he used.Moreover, the other party has an indisputable reputation in the painting academy, and has become a painter.

Although he is the apprentice of the painter Mo Xuetao, a well-known good-for-nothing who has no heart for painting, facing the promising fairy senior sister, even if the master favors him, the testimony full of loopholes will only bring shame on himself.

If he reveals the first natal spirit map, everything can be explained, but the style of the emoji...will definitely reveal his identity as Ye Mofan.All the efforts of his master Mo Xuetao to cover up for him will come to naught, and his own future will also be ruined.

Is it worth it to gamble on your future for the sake of picking your heart?Gu Qingzhou, who used to have a healthy mind, dared to gamble, and Gu Qingzhou, who had no emoticons and had nothing, also dared to gamble, but now he is unwilling.It is precisely because of the loss of Huixin that he cherishes the current opportunity even more.

Even if he can't recover the memory of that night, he can still force the heart-picker to jump over the wall in a hurry.

Gu Qingzhou thought for a while, and his body gathered some strength again, which made his complexion turn better.

Yun Zhixian came by coincidence, he practiced basic painting skills and techniques for two hours in the afternoon, just when his body was exhausted and weak, he didn't need to pretend to be sweating on his face.

Gu Qingzhou got up and walked into the study.Today's basic skills practice has been done, but he didn't relax his demands on himself. After practicing calligraphy for a while, he spread out a piece of rice paper and started to try to draw emoticons.

【Come on, be happy.gif】

This is Gu Qingzhou's first attempt to make a moving picture composed of several emoticons, and he has lost his previous wanton brushstrokes, and is much more cautious in his writing.

【Come on, be happy.jpg】

【Come and chase me.jpg】

【if you.jpg】

【Catch me.jpg】

【I will let you.jpg】

【Hey hey hey.jpg】

A set of pictures is completed, without the smooth feeling of the past.

Putting down the brush, Gu Qingzhou fell into thought.seems to be failing.After drawing these emoticons, there was no aura flowing, Gu Qingzhou didn't even use the skill of "dotting the eyes", so he knew it was not successful.

But he still didn't give up, and tapped on one of the emoticons with his finger.

"Dotting!" No response.

After a while, Gu Qingzhou accepted the reality and threw them all into the brazier to destroy the corpses.Flatten a piece of rice paper again and start painting.This time, draw them in twos and twos in the order they appear in your mind.

【Come on, be happy.jpg】【Come and chase me.jpg】

【If you.jpg】【Catch me.jpg】

【I'll let you.jpg】【Hey hey hey.jpg】

There was still no spiritual energy surging, Gu Qingzhou knew that he had failed again.

Maybe draw them in a row?for example【】【】【】……?

Half an hour later, Gu Qingzhou carried a stack of waste paper and went to the yard with a brazier to burn stacks of emoticons. If he stayed in the room and burned paper, it would easily cause a fire, and the thick smoke would choke him to death.

While burning the paper, Gu Qingzhou recalled where did he fail?Why can't I draw gif emoticons?At this time, he heard someone entering the door from outside the courtyard, the footsteps accompanied by jade stones hitting each other, it was the master who came!

Mo Xuetao smelled burnt smell as soon as he entered the door, and when he saw Gu Qingzhou squatting in front of the brazier, he immediately showed sympathy.

"Are you burning paper for Xie Chunfeng?" He asked.

"..." Gu Qingzhou covered his chest.

【I'm heartbroken.jpg】

Inspiration from foreign lands flashed through my mind.The villain on the expression pack is also holding his chest, but the difference is that he has a knife in his chest, kneeling on the ground and tilting his body. Although he looks like he is dying, the expression on his face is so wretched that it makes people want to step forward and slap him. .

Gu Qingzhou temporarily ignored the churning inspiration in his head, and explained: "I am burning discarded drawings."

The four corners of the drawing paper thrown into the brazier were rolled up by the flames, and the ink in the middle had not yet been destroyed.Mo Xuetao only glanced at it, and also held his chest.

【I'm heartbroken.jpg】

Gu Qingzhou silently accompanied the opponent's actions with emoticons.Although this picture has not been drawn yet, based on his understanding of the nature of these emoticons, it must be another extremely lethal weapon.

Mo Xuetao unfolded the fan in his hand, stared at the mountain of peach blossoms on the fan without blinking for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at the vulgar painting in the brazier that was swallowed into ashes by the raging fire.With a more relaxed and cheerful expression, he smiled lightly and said, "It's well cooked."

"...Master." Gu Qingzhou complained.It seems to be saying, Master doesn't even support you in his creative career?

"Cough—" Mo Xuetao covered his face with a fan to block the choking smell, and stayed five steps away from his apprentice to prevent the soot from staining his sleeves.He said insincerely: "I can't stand this smell, my eyes are uncomfortable from being choked, but it's not that I dislike your paintings. You should bury these paper dust and use it as flower fertilizer."

"Yes." Gu Qingzhou nodded in response.

Mo Xuetao said again: "If it weren't for the ink on it, the paper ash smells sweet and non-toxic, and it can be used as medicine to stop bleeding."

"Paper ashes can stop bleeding?" Gu Qingzhou heard it for the first time.

Mo Xuetao was in high spirits, and showed off with a little pride: "The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records many prescriptions in the section on the explanation of the paper. For example, bamboo paper, wrapped with dog hair, burnt ash wine and taken to stop malaria; rattan paper, burned Apply ashes to wounds and bleed; white thin paper, five pieces of burnt ashes water to treat prolapse of vomiting blood. If you are interested in the prescriptions listed in it, you may wish to go to the teacher's study to read."

"By the way, why did you burn so many watches... expression packs?" Mo Xuetao was still not used to this name, so he recalled it and said.

Gu Qingzhou was distressed by this, and asked his master for advice: "I want to draw an emoji today, which is different from the past. I want it to move, but I can't do it."

"Move?" Doutu Dalu's paintings will move after finishing touch.Others may not understand Gu Qingzhou's meaning, but Mo Xuetao is a master of painting, and his understanding is extremely high. After thinking for a moment, he understood what his apprentice said.

"There are two reasons why a painting can't take shape: one is that the method is wrong, and the other is that the realm is not enough." Mo Xuetao said unhurriedly, "The realm needs to be developed step by step. As a teacher, I can't help you for the time being. But if the method is wrong, you can try to improve it. You used to be good at painting blue and green landscapes, but not good at figure painting, and this emoticon package... barely counts as figure painting, right?"

"What Master said is true." Gu Qingzhou cheered, ignoring the disgust on the other side's face when he mentioned "barely counting as figure painting".

Mo Xuetao shook his fan and said: "Figure painting pays attention to the vivid charm, the posture and expression of the people in the painting... Forget it, as a teacher, I don't expect you to pursue lifelike images by 'drawing the spirit with form', but the inner charm , but you can try to 'reveal the spirit with the spirit'."

"By expressing the spirit?" Gu Qingzhou pondered.

Mo Xuetao said: "The key to 'expression' is the treatment of the eyes. "Book of Jin Biography" Volume 62 records: Gu Changkang painted people, or did not close his eyes for several years. When people asked why, Gu said: "Si Tiyan Chi, it has nothing to do with the beauty; the vivid portrayal is in A Duzhong.' It can be seen that the importance of eyes to figure painting."

Gu Changkang is Gu Kaizhi who painted the "Fu Tu of Luoshen", one of the originators of ink painting.Although "dotting" has become a skill that all painters in Doutu Dalu must master, its true meaning seems to be ignored because it is too common.

Gu Qingzhou recalled these emoticons from foreign lands. Although the appearance is hard to describe, the eyes are extremely expressive.After he received that ray of consciousness, he just followed the gourd and drew a ladle, but did not grasp its essence. Now that he thinks about it, he is really inspired.When I think about it further, I get a splitting headache.It seems that wanting to analyze why emoticons are so powerful, no matter the method or the realm, is what he lacks now.

When Mo Xuetao saw his apprentice trying to think hard and break his head, he was so serious and cute, he laughed, "It's a good thing if you can't draw it. Seeing that you also have setbacks and can't draw an emoji, I feel relieved as a teacher."

"Master?"

"The power that is too easy to grasp is like a child holding a big knife. It is easy to hurt others, and it is even easier to hurt yourself." Mo Xuetao laughed, "Now this power is limited, so you have to think more before using it. That's a good thing."

Mo Xuetao closed the folding fan, tapped on the palm of his hand and said, "Oh, Master, I almost forgot that I came to change your medicine! Go into the house first, the yard will be cleaned up by Master Mo later."

Mo Nu was sprayed with medicine by Gu Qingzhou last time, and she hid in the scroll and refused to see him.Unexpectedly, the salary plummeted. In the past, they could serve tea and water in the house, and the red sleeves added fragrance, but now they are sent to clean up the ashes of the brazier in the yard.

I don't know if Mo Nu was frightened when she picked up the paper ashes. After all, she is the person in the painting, and the paper is her carrier.Originally born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other?

Back in the room, Mo Xuetao looked at the bronze mirror, untied the white cloth wrapped around Gu Qingzhou's forehead, and looked carefully.The wound healed faster than expected, the scabs fell off, and the surrounding skin was smooth. This wound was like a touch of rouge between the eyebrows.Said it was a scar, but now it is more like a mark.

"As a teacher, starting from tomorrow, I will teach you how to draw ink plums, shall we?" Mo Xuetao said suddenly.

Gu Qingzhou nodded, wondering why the master stared at the wound between his eyebrows for a while, and suddenly thought of teaching him how to draw plums.The master is willing to teach, but it is too late for the apprentice to be happy, how can he refuse.

"Plum, the orientation belongs to the east, and the east belongs to wood. Painting more plum blossoms can nourish your green roots and paint your heart, and dispel the stagnation of liver qi, so that your mood will get better and better." Mo Xuetao laughed.

"What exactly is Master trying to say?"

"What master wants to say is that this injury seems to be irreparable. I thought it was a deep wound, but now it seems that it is the imprint left by the hand that picked the heart. Unless you mend the heart, otherwise...

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, this mark will always be kept to tell the companion that this person has been picked, and there is no need to waste energy on you."

"..." Too much deception!

【I remember this grudge.jpg】

The author has something to say:

This chapter involves a lot of painting knowledge. I have read the painting theory myself, and I also compared it with Baidu when I wrote it. But after all, I am not a painting major and worry about making mistakes. Everyone thinks I am making up nonsense.

The name of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" paper was not found on Baidu, and I read other information books.
