Taoist chanting

Returning to the top of the mountain, Zhang Wenfeng saw that the door of the west hall was open, and there was a woman laughing and talking, so he walked over.

"Negative, indifference, when did Brother Fu and Fellow Daoist Yun come?"

"Zhang Guanzhu is very polite. We just arrived a while, and I heard from Senior Sister Yue that you were refining medicine, so I didn't bother. By the way, has your medicine been refined?"

Yun Qiuhe and Yue Anyan sat together and asked with a smile in a strange way.

Zhang Wenfeng shook his head slightly, "It's not easy to refine medicine, and I'm still groping."

He took out a wooden box from the cuff and put it on the coffee table, opened the lid, a burning smell wafted out, and said with a smile: "Can you two give me a few words for this post-study? Help me to see where the problem is. ?"

The problems that he can see may not be all problems. If there are existing acquaintances who come to the door, he has to ask for advice.

Last time, Wu Ganping gave him some common sense about spell confusion, which benefited him a lot.

Fu Gujing glanced at the end of the yellow and sticky pieces in the box, and smiled: "I still know a little bit about the refining of medicine. I am a layman in refining medicine, so let Junior Sister Yun take a look at it for you. You are not bad, you can start refining so quickly. medicine."

The last time he was in Xihe Mountain, he saw that Brother Zhang's cultivation was a level of Xiaojin.

Yun Qiuhe said humbly: "I have studied medicine refining, formation Taoism, and talisman making. All of them are sparse and ordinary. At present, I can't refine pills, and I can only refine a few medicinal powders. We can exchange a word or two."

She picked up the box, looked at it carefully, and said in amazement: "You have a good control of the heat, this is almost done, it is your Yuan Qi that is not continuing, you may be in a hurry with the Yuan Qi you poured in front of you, urging the stove to turn on. The spinning speed inside is too fast, it can't be slowed down like that, and it consumes a lot of Yuan Qi."

The few words she pointed out were all her experiences from countless failures.

In fact, it is best to wait until the cultivation base is higher, and it is easy to control. Yun Qiuhe saw through the scrapped medicinal powder that this Zhang Guanzhu has advanced to the middle stage of Qi Qi at a magical speed, otherwise it will not reach this level. And the talent for refining medicine is too good, and it is close to success after trying it.

People are more popular than people, how can she persuade others to wait?

Zhang Wenfeng clenched his fists and sincerely thanked: "Thank you for your pointers, I will try it next time."

Yun Qiuhe smiled and waved his hands: "Don't tell me, I also have questions to ask you later, can you give me advice?"

Zhang Wenfeng laughed, what did this straightforward man say? At the beginning, he couldn't play too clever tricks when he used him as a shield. After dealing with him a lot, he no longer refused, and said very straightforwardly: "It's done!"

He knew that Yun Qiuhe wanted him to point out the portrait, and he was really persevering, and he would not let go when he got the chance.

Yue Anyan glanced at his younger brother, and it seemed that the last time Guanzhu succeeded in refining medicine was an accident.

I don't know what skills the master can instruct Yun Qiuhe, who is only half a step away from the realm of Qi Qiu, who is only half a step away from the realm.

Fu Gujing interjected: "Brother Zhang, don't teach her portraits, she wants to learn everything, her master is so angry that he wants to beat her, scold her for wasting energy, and delaying her practice..."

"Brother Fu!"

When Yun Qiuhe saw that Guanzhu Zhang finally agreed to teach her to learn portraits, he was very happy. The annoying senior brother was making trouble, or was he from the same class?He interrupted with anger and shouted, "I've tried to find opportunities for breakthroughs in my practice in many ways, don't talk nonsense!"

Raise a small fist as a threat.

Fu Gujing was helpless, so he changed the subject: "Daoyou Yue, when will you go to the city to assess and register the identity of a loose person? Now that our Daolu branch is short of manpower, it is the time when you are thirsty for talents."

Yue Anyan smiled and said, "Wait for a few days and then go to the assessment before I advance. I want to stabilize my realm first."

Zhang Wenfeng interjected and asked, "Didn't fellow Daoist Chen Qingqiao apply for Keqing Law Enforcement Guard?"

Fu Gujing said: "The night we left, his master, Wei Guangzong, who was in cahoots with the ghosts in Xihe Mountain, sat down and repaid his debts and his life, and Wei Guangzong took all the blame for it. Bear it, and give Qingshuiguan a cleanliness. Chen Qingqiao is organizing funerals these days."

For the sake of the dead, some words are not suitable to be made public.

Zhang Wenfeng was silent, that old man didn't live for a few years, and he used death to pay for his crime.

Life and death is also a kind of ability.

Fu Gujing saw that it was noon after so long, and said: "Brother Zhang, you have solved the case beautifully this time, the hospital owner should report it, and the reward will have to wait for a while, this time I will come. There is something to discuss with you, there are two spiritual plants in the Sky Tower and the Xuanyun Temple, and they intend to sell them at a moderate price. I wonder if you need them?"

Zhang Wenfeng understood that this was an extra benefit for him, and smiled: "Thank you for your good intentions, just what you need."

In the early decades of the rising tide of spiritual energy, every spiritual plant is a rare treasure.

On the way of cultivation, there is such a long-term accumulation, the benefits are more accumulated, the Taoist heritage and the strength of their own cultivation have risen.

The two sects are reciprocating, or Wu Ganping and Fu Gujing are returning their favors.

"Okay, it will be delivered in the spring, and you are ready to plant it."

Fu Gujing finished the business.

Yun Qiuhe couldn't wait to pull Zhang Guanzhu to ask how to use charcoal sticks for portraits. She really likes to paint. Other refining medicines, formations, and talismans are all for practice. Painting is her hobby.

Zhang Wenfeng got the benefits of the two spiritual plants, although he wouldn't show it on his face, he was in a happy mood.

Taking out the cut rice paper from under the desk, Yun Qiuhe had already taken out a bag of willow charcoal wrapped in coarse cloth from her pocket, which she purposely burned to practice her skills.

Zhang Wenfeng picked a piece of soft charcoal, tilted his head and looked at Yun Qiuhe's front and side faces, with a serious look.

This girl is really good-looking, her skin is fair and tender, her facial features are delicate, her face is delicate, her eyebrows are like a machete, and her temperament is active and straightforward.

Yun Qiuhe was a little embarrassed to be looked at, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

She knew that Zhang Guan mainly painted her.

Yue Anyan was very rude to see the watcher staring at a woman from such a close distance. Seeing that Yun Qiuhe had no opinion, she didn't say a word.

She knew that the younger brother had been taught by Master in painting, but it was the first time she had seen painting with such a small root of charcoal.

Zhang Wenfeng retracted his gaze, stared at the blank paper on the desk and thought for a while.

"It's better to draw it better!"

Yun Qiuhe reminded in a low voice that she had changed from being a painter to being painted, and of course she cared about looking good.

Zhang Wenfeng ignored her rude request, picked up the charcoal and dropped it, "wipe", the thick ink and black scraped out the turning point of the hair, and said:

"A painter should be good at observation and be able to observe. Painting is good or bad. Technique is important, but understanding of a thing is more important. 'It is difficult to paint a dragon and a tiger, it is difficult to paint the bones, know the face but not the heart'. Among them, the painter is The most difficult, because people's emotions change at any time, whether it is the painter or the person being painted, my suggestion is that if you really want to learn this technique, you have to practice from the basics."

The charcoal sticks in my hand kept going up and down, and the writing was fine.

A three-quarter profile of a woman, quickly sketched on paper.

The strong black and white contrast of charcoal strips gives people a very shocking visual experience. With the completion of the facial features, the background is added with blurred lattice lattices, and a painting is completed.

There are not too many detailed carvings, and there is very little excessive gray tones, just like black and white woodcuts, and more flexible than woodcuts.

But it is very similar to Yun Qiuhe, and the painting is extremely beautiful.

It is the kind of bright and crisp beauty.

Zhang Wenfeng did not make any corrections, and gently put down the charcoal.

He was immersed in it just now, and after a short time, he almost touched that magical state of mind, and the phantom handwriting of the ancient book floating in the sea of ​​consciousness became a little clearer.

Maybe you can try it next time, complete a painting in depth and extend the time.

After a while, Fu Gujing praised and broke the silence: "Watching you draw is a very different kind of enjoyment!"

He couldn't tell the charm, it made him feel something vaguely, but he couldn't grasp it.

Yun Qiuhe never knew that she could be so beautiful that she could be a mystery to herself. She was so beautiful.

With bright eyes, she pulled Yue Anyan by the side and asked softly, "Does it look like it?" She felt a little embarrassed and coy.

"It's so similar, it's so beautiful!"

Yue Anyan didn't tell lies, only one sentence remained unspoken.

More like real life!

The spectator is deeply hidden, which can be regarded as knowledge.

Chapter 83 Discovering the Evil Dao Dharma Again

Yun Qiuhe was admiring his own portrait, feeling elated, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Guan Zhang, you suggested that I start from the basics, but I don't know anything about this skill, can you teach me how to lay the basics? I can Exchange with you with the skills you know."

She has studied landscapes, flowers and birds, and knows the importance of the foundation, but the practice after getting started is on the individual.

But she couldn't get in, so she was helpless, no matter how she painted, she couldn't do it right.

Zhang Wenfeng said with a smile: "When Senior Sister Yue encounters something she doesn't understand, please don't hesitate to point me out. Let's take it as a mutual exchange of skills. If it's too formal, you'll be cautious."

"Okay, what Zhang Guanzhu said is very pleasant, we are more comfortable when we get along as friends."

Hearing that the other party was willing to teach, Yun Qiuhe put himself in her shoes and was overjoyed. He took Yue Anyan's arm and said with a smile, "I hit it off with Senior Sister Yue at first sight. She encounters difficulties in her cultivation. I don't feel sorry for her." Will stand down."

Zhang Wenfeng nodded with a smile. When the senior sister learns the formation, Yun Qiuhe, who knows how to do it, will give her beginner's instructions, so she will avoid many detours.

He took a cotton fruit (apple) from the plate on the coffee table, put it on the blank rice paper on the desk, and simply arranged it to find the angle with the best light and shadow effect.

Six feet away, a piece of rice paper is placed at the end of the desk, and the draft is drawn with charcoal sticks.

Explain the meaning of the top horizontal and the bottom horizontal, and then a short vertical on the left and right to determine the size and rough shape of the cotton fruit, then cut the shape with a short straight line, compare and observe the whole, step by step, draw the shape and light and shade of the cotton fruit turning structure.

Draw a structural sketch in a formal way, explaining that this is to understand the objects in front of you, don't wipe the redundant lines, and exercise your observation, analysis, and modeling skills.

The method is not complicated, just like the same book, some people can take the number one exam after learning it.

Some people have been working hard for ten years, but the articles they write are still unsightly, and their names have fallen to Sun Shan.

Yun Qiuhe has many years of landscape painting foundation, showing a sudden expression, it turned out to be like this.

A cotton fruit is decomposed like a peel, but it stands out on the paper with a strong sense of prominence.

Let her find a way to get started, and finally no longer confused.

Then she was a little distressed. She definitely wanted to take these two model paintings back so that she could observe them from time to time, but the figures drawn by willow sticks and charcoal were blurred by accidental rubbing, and they couldn't be rolled up. How should they be taken away? ?

She still doesn't know the advanced Yuan Qi restraining spells, only simple sound insulation.

Hearing Yun Qiuhe's question, Zhang Wenfeng thought for a while, and said, "I can prepare a special kind of viscous water, can you have a way to spray the water evenly on the paper, as fine as rain and fog? Once it's completely dry, the charcoal painting can be rolled up."

Yun Qiuhe said with a smile: "I know the 'clear water and fog' technique, and it should be able to achieve the effect."

Zhang Wenfeng then transmitted his method to the senior sister, and asked the senior sister to go to the East Palace Pharmacy to get some peach gum collected for medicinal materials, soak it in warm water to remove impurities, and then slowly heat it in a clean pot with a certain proportion of water. , and then filter it again with a white cloth to get a water-like dilution of peach gum.

The method of preservation of charcoal painting by spray glue, he has done it in a previous life.

There is no milky white glue in the other world, and it is not bad to replace it with peach gum according to local conditions. The concentration does not need to be too particular, but it is a little more troublesome. He knows a lot of miscellaneous things.

Don't easily tell outsiders the so-called secret method, which is in line with the code of conduct in this world.

Yue Anyan carefully wrote it down, she can learn the skills that the master passed down to the younger brother, it is a kind of great trust, she is very warm in her heart, and she is ready to go out.

In the West Hall, Yun Qiuhe used another piece of white rice paper to draw from Mianguo at the same angle, and looked at Zhang Wenfeng's paintings from time to time. She seized the rare opportunity to learn and ask for advice.

Zhang Wenfeng and Fu Gujing drank tea and chatted, except that his portable gourd was filled with spiritual spring water, the West Hall would prepare a wooden bucket of clean water for guests in the morning, when no guests came, they scooped it in the wooden basin to clean their hands before evening class, the senior sister was Use clean water to cook tea.

Yun Qiuhe drew four sketches of the structure of the cotton fruit, and the latter one turned out to be quite impressive.

The shape is basically accurate, and the relationship is handled well. Zhang Wenfeng was a little surprised by the painting talent he showed. He gave some tips and demonstrated how to draw the structure of Zongguo (pear) and peach.

He doesn't need to compare with real objects, he draws by hand, and analyzes the turning structure blocks clearly.

There are fan paintings of these three common fruits, enough for Yun Qiuhe to practice for a while.

He taught Yun Qiuhe to learn painting, and he also meant to sell Fu Gujing's face. He made good friends with the big sect monks, and it was a matter of course.

About half an hour later, Yue Anyan prepared a large bowl of clear peach glue and brought it to him.

Yun Qiuhe first tried her hand with her own clumsiness, and cast a spell to wrap a small ball of water to create a fine mist. This is a variation of the light rain spell, which requires a strong ability to control spells. Spray a layer of charcoal painting evenly and quickly , do not completely wet the paper, wait for the next few sheets to be sprayed one by one, let it dry a bit, and then spray again from the beginning, a total of three times.

After lunch, the painting was completely dry, and the charcoal ink was fixed, and Yun Qiuhe even said that this method is good.

She no longer has to worry about the charcoal drawing being scratched and damaged, and her heart is full of joy.

Sending away Fu Gujing and Yun Qiuhe, Zhang Wenfeng and the second senior brother went down the mountain to the construction site in Aoshan, checked the progress of the construction site, communicated with the craftsmen about some problems, and then returned to the mountain to seize the time to practice and restore the lost Yuan Qi .

Every alchemy takes a lot of effort, especially the last step of Yuan Qi controlling fire, which has a good effect on promoting cultivation.

Of course, you can't fail again and again, and you can't find the reason.

Otherwise, it is not called promotion, but the destruction of the whole body, mind and confidence.

It is an indisputable fact that the elixir is refined smoothly, and the growth of cultivation base and realm is faster than that of the same level.

The second senior brother was about to take the medicine for the second time to break through the situation. He had already selected an auspicious day, so he didn't go out in the afternoon. Yue Anyan took the magic weapon and went to the surrounding villages to assess and screen the apprentice seedlings.

When the sunset was still high, Yue Anyan finished the work ahead of schedule and returned to the mountain.

She went to Mitan Village, eight miles away to the southeast today.

Sitting down in the west hall and drinking a cup of tea, he took out a green handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, opened it and took out a folded yellow paper, which was not old, but was still stained with dirt and mud, and handed it to the priest.

"A child in Nitan Village played with his hand. I found something wrong, so I exchanged it with a penny. Look at the priest, there seems to be some evil in it?"

Zhang Wenfeng took the folded yellow paper and looked at it over and over in his hand.

The yellow paper is folded so that the front end sticks out a bit like a paper crane, and one corner is not closed, and it is tilted up.
