I rely on emoticons to lower my intelligence

"Teach you how to draw an ink girl?" Gu Shanhai said.

"...It's a figure painting." Pei Chengping said, "You are right. The figure paintings drawn by Dou Tushi have advantages that cannot be replaced by photos. You have drawn me, and I want to draw you too."

Mo Nu is just a branch of figure painting, Pei Chengping has a big heart, and if he wants to learn, he can learn a whole category.

Gu Shanhai projected his portrait just now, which touched Pei Chengping a lot.

As long as you lightly touch your eyes, it is like a portrait of a real person, and it will be projected realistically in front of you.

With such an effect, Dou Tushi only needs to carry one painting, which costs a little cultivation.Ordinary people have to move out the projector and keep it plugged in.

I have seen too many odd-shaped emoticons that Doutushi racked his brains to come up with for the battle.

It is a very novel experience to see Dou Tushi and restore the retro figure paintings.

Such a painting method with ancient rhyme is rarely mastered now.

You drew me, and I want to draw you too.

It is obviously a sentence with a high sugar content.After thinking about it seriously, Gu Shanhai came to a conclusion, "Pingping, I'd be happy to teach you how to paint. But, do you plan to use my image every day to hone your painting skills?"

His tone was troubled and aggrieved.

"Is there a problem?" Pei Chengping frowned in confusion.Because of Gu Shanhai, he had the idea of ​​learning figure painting seriously.Why do you feel that the other party is disgusting?

"Hey, you can't even draw an ink girl well, I don't want to become an emoji." Gu Shanhai wailed.

What level can a beginner draw?

Pei Chengping's face suddenly darkened. "It's time to eat." He turned around and walked out the door, only then remembered the purpose of going into the study to find Gu Shanhai.

But as soon as he took a big step forward with his long legs, there was resistance from behind his clothes, and it was Gu Shanhai who tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"I'll teach! Start learning from me tomorrow morning, don't go back on your word!" Gu Shanhai knew he was wrong.If the adopted son wants to learn painting in the future, he should encourage it.

Don't you just use him as a reference?If he is willing to sacrifice, he will be ugly!

Not only did Gu Shanhai quickly agree, but he also had to make sure that the other party was not acting on a whim.

He will unreservedly teach the other party those ancient painting skills that are about to be lost.

Intuition told Gu Shanhai that if the tradition can be revived in the hands of the Son of Heaven, the painting skills handed down from the past can be rejuvenated.Perhaps it is beneficial to his cultivation and the completion of this commission.

Because I was delayed in the study for too long, the dishes and soup were a little cold.

Sitting at the dining table, Gu Shanhai felt that Pei Chengping still had a little temper.Because the other party didn't take the initiative to serve him a meal for the first time.

The basis for Gu Shanhai's judgment was that Pei Chengping took all the food in front of him before he moved his chopsticks.He thought the other party was angry, but after a while, Pei Chengping reheated these dishes and brought them to him again.

Boy, what do you want to do?

Gu Shanhai couldn't be sure of his deduction, because Pei Chengping's attitude was unpredictable.He's not good at reading people's hearts.

He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't guess at all.

Work hard.

The taste of the reheated dish is not affected much, and it is still delicious.

Gu Shanhai had a full meal again, and was overwhelmed by the opponent's craftsmanship.He has already turned a blind eye to the big orange cat's contemptuous eyes.

The next morning, Gu Shanhai got up early and began to give formal lectures.

He and Pei Chengping washed their hands with a sense of ritual, and entered the study together, making the big orange cat think that he closed the door to eat something delicious, and squeezed in without telling it, and was invited out again by Gu Shanhai, shutting down Outside the study.

Although Gu Shanhai usually plays with cats when he has nothing to do, he often does things in a daze and misses the point.But for his major, Gu Shanhai maintains the awe of the predecessors and the original aspiration when he was painting.

What he is teaching Pei Chengping now is also what his teacher taught him when he entered Qingfeng Painting Academy.

"If you want to learn how to paint, study ink first." Gu Shanhai didn't teach Pei Chengping how to draw figures at the beginning, but handed an ink ingot to Pei Chengping.

Of course he knew that there was ready-made ink, and the practice of grinding ink was too old-fashioned.But this was the first lesson he taught Pei Chengping.

The ink ingots were bought by Gu Shanhai casually, the quality is not particularly high, it cannot be compared with the ones he used back then, but it is not cheap either.The surface is made of bells and whistles, and the value of ornamental collection is greater than its practicality.

However, in Gu Shanhai's eyes, not giving full play to its use value is putting the cart before the horse.

When Pei Chengping wasn't smiling, it was like a burning flame.He looked fierce and aggressive, his eyes were sharp and aggressive, and when he took the ink ingot, he glanced at Gu Shanhai, which made Gu Shanhai think that the next second the ink ingot would hit his head, but he was actually thinking too much .

The young man took the initiative to learn painting, and he was indeed studying ink very seriously.Pour an appropriate amount of pure water into the inkstone, and grind it clockwise, slowly and slowly, until the ink in the inkstone becomes thicker and thicker.

The mechanical movements should have been boring and boring, but the heart of the Chi Ling painter, who was naturally impetuous and violent, slowly settled in the process.

Studying ink is a process of meditation before painting.It is also a process of thinking.

If it was Gu Shanhai, he was already thinking about the composition of the picture and how to write it.Putting it on Pei Chengping, what he thought about was the experience and gains in the process, what he had vaguely realized.

After spending more than ten minutes, Pei Chengping stopped, the ink was enough.

Except for the ink stains on the bottom of the ink stick, the actual volume has not decreased at all.

"Ink is very durable." Gu Shanhai took the opportunity to educate the other party, "There is a story recorded in the ancient book "Four Books of the Study". No less than [-] words, and it will take ten years to use up."

Because of his words, Pei Chengping carefully looked at the ink ingot in his hand again.

"Can it be used for decades?" The ink stick in his hand was as thick as the mouth of a drink bottle.

"You think too much, don't dream! Tinggui ink is made by Li Tinggui, an ink official in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In ancient times, it was hard to find a fingernail size. The ink ingot you are holding now is not so durable." Gu Shanhai pressed Then a word was mentioned, "Pingping, do you know what 'Momoren' is?"

At this time, Gu Shanhai had a serious expression and a straight posture, unlike his usual appearance, as if he was imitating some old pedant.

But Gu Shanhai's appearance, in Pei Chengping's opinion, is cute, and he can feel his seriousness.

Pei Chengping was distracted for a moment, and then quickly thought about this unfamiliar vocabulary. What is the allusion of "Momoren", I have never heard of it before.

"Does it mean that ink is hard to grind?" He speculated.

"Almost." Gu Shanhai applauded.

Gu Shanhai recalled his first teacher back then, although when he became a master of painting, the other party was still just a painter, teaching in that not-so-famous painting academy.However, Gu Shanhai always has respect for the other party, remembering the first lesson the other party taught him.

"Ink grinding people—it's useless to use ink, people have already been buried in the soil." Gu Shanhai picked up the ink ingot that had been ground by Pei Chengping, weighed it, and put it back in Pei Chengping's hand with emotion, letting the other party hold it well .

"The person who taught me back then said a word. 'Prime does not grind ink, but ink grinds people.' I will also give it to you." Gu Shanhai looked at Pei Chengping very seriously and said, "I hope you will take this piece of ink Use it up, don't become an 'ink grinder'."

This paragraph of polite words actually expresses only one thought: Diligence!

In terms of painting skills, if you can't persist in fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, you will not achieve success.

The infusion of chicken soup for the soul is complete.Gu Shanhai's expression became less serious.

But he emphasized it again and asked Pei Chengping: "Do you understand?"

"Understood." Pei Chengping nodded,

Gu Shanhai knew the importance of the first lesson.Playing mysteries, imitating what his teacher taught him back then, speaking Zen words.

"Do you really understand?"

This time, Pei Chengping didn't answer right away.Instead, he closed his eyes and fell into thinking.He was feeling something, and he didn't speak for a while.

Gu Shanhai didn't interrupt the other party's thinking, quietly took out his phone, turned it to silent, and silently tapped his finger on the screen, he was playing a small game.

After playing for a few minutes, Pei Chengping responded.

"I understand." Pei Chengping said.As soon as the words fell, the airflow in the study suddenly changed drastically.

Pei Chengping's body is like a magnet, which has a strong suction to the outside world.Countless energies floating in the air were all attracted by him, and rushed into his body in one go.

Pei Chengping's cultivation soared.

He heard a bang in his mind, an invisible barrier was broken through at this moment.

He really understood the epiphany just now.

He has advanced!Become a brand new second grade painter.

Gu Shanhai let go of his hand in shock, and the phone slipped from his palm.

"That's okay too?"

Gu Shanhai was in a daze.He felt sorry for the teacher who taught him the first lesson.

For the same lecture content, look at Pei Chengping, and then think about himself.

He closed himself.

Gu Shanhai now understands what a son of heaven is.Pei Chengping is the son of this world consciousness.

In front of his face, Hua Dao brazenly cheated on the other party!

Gu Shanhai cried with envy.

He also wants such treatment!But he knew that Hua Dao would only hinder his cultivation and urged him to work.

As a veteran fighting figure master, he originally wanted to take the opponent to fly.Who knows that the adopted son in the future will be endowed with extraordinary talents and excellent understanding.Just a chicken soup at the beginning, and he hadn't formally taught the other party to draw, Pei Chengping's cultivation level soared unreasonably, and he was even higher than him all of a sudden.

Where can I justify this?

Although my heart is crying constantly.On the surface, Gu Shanhai was very stable.Maintain the dignity of being a teacher at the beginning.

After completing the advanced stage, Pei Chengping opened his eyes and looked at Gu Shanhai in surprise. "I broke through!"

His fiery eyes seemed to melt people.

Gu Shanhai put up two thumbs up and gave the other party a thumbs up.

Pei Chengping tightly held the ink ingot in his palm, with firm eyes. "Don't worry, I will use it well. I will live up to your expectations."

Gu Shanhai quickly emphasized: "My expectation is that you will be an upright, kind, and great person!"

"..." At the beginning, the sentence did not seem to be arranged in this way.But the meaning is about the same.

Yue Yue's Pei Chengping nodded heavily under the beautiful atmosphere.

His energetic and sincere attitude infected Gu Shanhai.Now Gu Shanhai didn't have any complaints in his heart.

The future son is too promising.

And he said to be a good man!Be a good person!

"The ink is finished, are you going to teach me how to draw characters?" Pei Chengping urged with bright eyes.

"Yes!" Gu Shanhai replied.

When I thought that I would be used as a reference, the other party would paint countless ugly paintings inhumanely until the ink ingot was used up.

It doesn't seem like it's something to celebrate, something worth celebrating!

Gu Shanhai's smile froze on his face.

Even after thinking this way, he didn't delay at all, and started to talk about figure painting in depth.

"To draw a good character, start with Mo Nu. Because Mo Nu has a complete system to refer to. But don't think that Mo Nu is simple." Gu Shanhai said, finishing his own painting of Mo Nu.

As soon as the Mo girl in modern attire was concretized, she walked slowly to a set of tea sets that Gu Shanhai had prepared long ago, and began to perform tea art.Her movements are beautiful, without any jerky feeling, a set of smooth and graceful movements is completed, the tea is brewed, and the fragrance of the tea is overflowing.

Mo Nu served them two cups of green tea, which turned into a streak of ink and returned to the scroll.

Gu Shanhai puffed out his chest proudly.Although his black girl is still unable to cook with modern kitchen utensils fluently.But the art of tea is already baked into her program, so don't bother with setting it up.

Pei Chengping looked down at the tea in his hand and tried to take a sip.

He, who also owns Mo Nu, has already seen the gap between the two.Not just on the outside.

"Mr. Mo originated from a painter's longing for his dead wife." Gu Shanhai recalled the girl Mo that Pei Chengping summoned, and complained, "Your late wife will definitely not grow into an emoji."

"..." Pei Chengping clenched his hands into fists.

He didn't have a dead wife, he didn't even have a wife!If he didn't know that Gu Shanhai didn't have any malicious intentions, he would have swung his fist upwards.

"Ahem——I mean don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. If you put your emotions into painting and treat Mo Nu as your relative, partner, and friend, the painting will not be too ugly." Gu Shanhai Noticing the other person's expression, he realized that the words were wrong, and explained, "When you drew the ink girl, you didn't put any emotion into it, and subconsciously used her as a tool. She is really just a tool. The ink girl picture produced in this state , If you compare it with people, it means you have no energy. If you evaluate it according to painting skills, it means that every brush has four powers, muscles and bones, and you don't have any of them."

When he said this, his tone paused, and he softened his voice and said gently: "This is nothing. If you want to learn, I will teach you well."

He picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea made by Mo Nu.His expression softened.

"Get emotional?" Pei Chengping looked at the other party.

It was Gu Shanhai who gave him the urge to draw figures.If it was the other party, of course he would not be perfunctory in order to deal with the teacher like when he handed in the picture of a girl in ink.

Otherwise, he would not be able to pass his own level.

"Get emotionally involved. I'm not saying this to make you feel emotionally attached to Mo Nu. It's about taking every painting you draw seriously and creating it with all your heart." Gu Shanhai thought of Sister Meng.

If you have too much love for Mo Nu, you will confuse the difference between the painting and the prototype, and you will have big problems.

So Gu Shanhai quickly added: "If it is not necessary, don't create a special form of Mo Nu."

Pei Chengping felt that Gu Shanhai's words were meaningful, as if there was some hidden story?He looked straight at Gu Shanhai, waiting for the other party to speak.

Gu Shanhai didn't want to go deep into this topic because he was talking all the time.However, Pei Chengping's thirst for knowledge was so strong that he almost ate his eyes, making Gu Shanhai cower.

Originally, Pei Chengping advanced today, so he didn't intend to teach the other party too much new content. After consolidating his state, he would teach painting skills to be more effective.Today, he mainly wanted to chat with the other party about popular science, common sense that ancient map masters knew, so he just continued talking.

"In yin and yang, ink is yin, and there have been records of ink turning into mysterious girls since ancient times. Therefore, drawing an ink girl has a natural advantage, and it is easier than drawing an ink man. Few map masters can't get along with me. It takes time and effort to consume cultivation. Summon Mo Nan."

Gu Shanhai preached from shallow to deep.

"However, there are exceptions. The original birth of Mo Nu was just to keep the image and soothe the sad heart of the painter. But some people are not satisfied with this. Therefore, above Mo Nu, some people use the same technique to refine different results. .That is the fairy in the painting."

Pei Chengping listened with great interest, and the other party's popular science knowledge was full of freshness.Until he heard a familiar word - "immortal in painting".Pei Chengping's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stood up.

"The fairy in the painting and the ink girl were made by the same method?"

The fairy in the painting is too famous.He was not created at will like the Mo girl.It's the real Dou Tushi who once existed in this world, and after death, he becomes the fairy in the painting.

The fairy in the painting retains the memories of his life and has his own thoughts and consciousness.Except for being out of his original body, it was no different from when he was alive.

Compared with Zhu's special state, remembering the deceased, seeing paintings and talking about comfort, are weak.

The fairy in the painting directly continues the original life of the deceased, but changes the form and continues to live.

in history.It records a very famous fairy in painting.He is the painter Gu Youzhi.

He became a fairy in the painting, but more than 100 years after his death, some descendants sank his body into the Mo Qin Realm, which was already in the honeymoon period with the Dou Tu Realm at that time, into the ink lotus reincarnation pool that gave birth to life.Within a few years, the corpses in the Reincarnation Pool disappeared.

Later, someone said that he had seen the fairy in the painting, and he came back to life.

How can such a legendary experience of becoming a fairy after death and being resurrected from death not move people's hearts?

"That's why I said don't underestimate Mo Nutu." Gu Shanhai blinked, "Any system starts from easy to difficult."

Pei Chengping was thoughtful.

Gu Shanhai said: "Actually, as opposed to the Mo girl, it is more appropriate to call the fairy in the painting the Mo fairy. But in ancient times, there was an ink seller——Pan Gu. He was so famous that he devoured ink like his life. He is called Mo Immortal. In order to praise him, Su Dongpo also specially wrote "Dongpo Inscriptions and Postscripts Shu Pan Gumo". Everything has a first come and then come. In order to avoid the famous Mo Immortal, the latter can only be called the Immortal in Painting."

Gu Shanhai shared this out-of-the-ordinary knowledge. "Mo Nu and Hua Zhongxian, because the two names are not similar, there are very few people who know that they are of the same system, and it has almost been lost until now."

"But you know." Pei Chengping said, "You tell me, and I know too. So this knowledge will not be lost."

"But even if you know it, it's just useless knowledge." Gu Shanhai is not proud of his erudition, it is common sense to him.

"Why?" Pei Chengping asked eagerly.

"Because to draw a picture of an ink girl, you only need ordinary rice paper. To draw a fairy in the picture, you need Long Yun Huang Teng paper. Even a thousand years ago, it was very rare and precious."

This kind of paper is used to record ancient imperial decrees.That is, it is used to issue emperor's orders, national decrees or legislation.

Only by decree can one become a god or immortal.

"Dou Tushi established the painting alliance. Thousands of years ago, there was no real dynasty and imperial power. How could there be an edict to enshrine the gods? As far as I know, there were three thousand years ago. Two paintings are now in the world. One is "Nuwa Mending the Sky", which seals the space cracks in all walks of life; ——"Magpie Bridge Immortal", which is still in use today, and he is also sanctified because of it."

"The only one who was used to draw the fairy in the painting is only one person: Gu Youzhi. He is the king of painting himself. The body and soul are enclosed in the world in the painting, and it has been carefully cultivated for more than 100 years before it is successful."

Gu Shanhai revealed another cold knowledge: "Also, if you want to paint the deceased as a fairy in the painting, you must do so within seven days. Otherwise, it will be invalid."

"It's far away, what are you talking about? The birth of the fairy in the painting is simply a coincidence, the conditions are too harsh, and there is only one successful case in more than 1000 years. In modern society, it is even more just a legend, and it is impossible. Reproduce the miracle of the fairy in the painting." Gu Shanhai waved his hand.

Pei Chengping's expression showed regret.

For a while, Gu Shanhai thought that the other party wanted to revive his former adoptive father.

But look at the way the other party is ready to move.If the conditions are in place.Maybe something will really happen.

It's a pity that the other party's former scumbag father, the first seven have passed.Moreover, the way of doing business was too dirty, which caused Pei Chengping to fall into the lawsuit left by the other party, and the house was sealed up by the bank.Staying at his house now.

Gu Shanhai felt that even if he had the conditions, Pei Chengping would not be too hard-pressed to make the other party into a fairy in the painting.

Pei Chengping said: "It's the first time I've heard what you said today. In school, the teacher didn't teach this kind of knowledge."

"Because it's too remote and unpopular, it's normal that knowledge that is completely useless for the moment will not appear in textbooks." Gu Shanhai said.And he doubted that Pei Chengping's teacher might not have heard of it.

"Ping Ping, now you know why I said, to draw a good character, first draw the picture of the ink girl? If you can't even draw the ink girl well, no matter how bizarre the idea is, the exquisite conception is empty talk. If your hands can’t keep up with your brain, you should learn from the basics first, lay a good foundation and practice hard.”

Pei Chengping nodded thoughtfully.As if he had realized something again.

Gu Shanhai didn't dare to take advantage of the other party's epiphany to play mobile games.My heart hurts when my phone falls too much.

Fortunately, Huadao didn't go crazy and hang up again.

Pei Chengping has advanced today and has not broken through.He pondered, comprehended, and learned step by step.

Gu Shanhai is also progressing step by step, according to the progress of the other party, teaching all the painting skills he knows.

While he was teaching the other party how to draw figures, Gu Shanhai finally revised the picture of Mo Nu.Let Pei Chengping see the craftsmanship of female chef Mo.

Everything is going well.One studies seriously and the other teaches with heart.

I don't know if it was Gu Shanhai's first lesson, the chicken soup for the soul was instilled well.Pei Chengping not only showed his amazing understanding, but also worked extremely hard.

He has both talent and hard work, why should such a person not succeed in the future?

Gu Shanhai is very optimistic about the other party.

The most important thing this world entrusts to Gu Shanhai is to make him a good person and not go astray.Gu Shanhai had been in contact with Pei Chengping during this time, and he didn't feel that the other party showed any signs of turning bad.

Could it be that Pei Chengping will make bad friends in the future?I was taken away!

Just as Gu Shanhai had this speculation, one night, he saw Pei Chengping receive a phone call.

The background voice on the phone was very loud, and the speaker's voice was very young and his tone was very serious.

"Young Master Pei, come quickly, I'm waiting for you to drink!" The person on the other end of the phone was clearly drunk, his voice fluctuating rhythmically with the background music.

"Come on!" Hearing the other party's voice, Pei Chengping prepared to go out without hesitation.

Gu Shanhai quickly stopped the opponent.

He felt that the person on the other side of the phone was spoiling his future son!He has to watch.

"Are you going to the bar? Take me with you! I haven't been to a bar yet." Gu Shanhai's eyes flashed with desire, wanting to get the other party's permission, otherwise he could only follow secretly. "I hear the bar is messy!"

"...Do you want to see?" Pei Chengping stopped and asked.

"Huh? That's right!"

The expression on Pei Chengping's face that was ready to move disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The phone is still on.Loud music came from the mobile phone, and there were urging voices from the opposite side, "Master Pei, Young Master Pei, are you out? Who are you talking to? The voice is very nice. Bring your friends and let's play together." , today I treat you!"

"Your friend said he was treating guests." Gu Shanhai heard the point.

"I'm not going." Pei Chengping raised his phone and refused.

"Why, do you think I'm a brother? Don't dawdle, come quickly! You're not like this before. If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't come home." The other side drank too much, tongue out, and spoke incoherently.

Hearing the complaints from the other side, Pei Chengping was a little shaken. He attached great importance to friendship, but when he looked up and saw Gu Shanhai's expectant eyes, his heart became as firm as a rock.

Pei Chengping said angrily, "Which bar are you going to? Don't you know that minors are not allowed to drink? Why are you fooling around so late? Go home!"

Didn't wait for the other side to react.

He hung up the phone immediately.

with a snap.

The friend on the other end of the phone looked confused.Call Pei Chengping again and tell him that the phone has been turned off.

Young Master Pei, what's your situation?
