The middle-aged man in front of him was Hua Wuqing, who was once famous in the Eastern Continent.
As for the life and death of Huarui, Xu Zimo is not very clear, but he knows that the middle-aged man in front of him is just an afterimage of Huarui.
Speaking of Hua Wuqing, he is actually an infatuated kind.
Many people have difficulty escaping a love word in their lives.
Hua Wuqing once fell in love with Feng Zu for a while, but Xu Zimo didn't know the specific situation.
He only knew that Fengzu and Wuchen had been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and the two later became husband and wife.
At that time, Emperor Wuchen had not carried the mandate of heaven, and someone wanted to threaten Emperor Wuchen with Fengzu's life.
During a chase, Fengzu would rather jump off the cliff and fall to his death than drag Wuchen the Great.
But few people know that Feng Zu did not fall to his death after jumping off the cliff, but was saved by Hua Wuqing instead.
Because Feng Zu was seriously injured, Hua Wuqing took care of Feng Zu for a long time.
But during that time, the two actually fell in love with each other for a long time, and developed a good impression of each other.
However, Feng Zu couldn't let Emperor Wuchen go in his heart, and among the two, Fengzu also chose Emperor Wuchen.
In her words, when Hua ruthlessly left, her heart ached.
But when Emperor Wuchen left, Fengzu felt that his whole heart was dead.
This is probably the difference between like and love.
It is impossible for Fengzu to be ambiguous to two people at the same time, so she chooses to leave Hua Wuqing. It is said that on the eve of their parting, Hua Wuqing specially painted a painting for Fengzu.
He also promised that if someone came to him with a painting in the future, he would do his best to satisfy that person.
But Feng Zu never thought of asking Hua Wuqing for help, she accepted the painting, but only as a souvenir.
Even after she left and left the painting in her inheritance, she did not tell the people of the Immortal Spirit Sect about the origin and purpose of the painting.
Because in her heart, this painting is just a beautiful memory in her life.
She also doesn't want future generations to bring up the old things again, so she took the painting to ask for help ruthlessly.
In later generations, there are also many such remarks, saying that when Hua Wuqing was fighting for the destiny with Emperor Wuchen, Hua Wuqing automatically gave up the destiny because of Feng Zu.
Of course, the veracity of the rumors has yet to be proven.
... ...
Hua Wuqing took the painting in Xu Zimo's hand, and grinned a few times, as if the past scenes were recalled in his mind.
He only had calligraphy and painting as companions all his life, and never thought of marrying a wife and having children.
But during an unintentional search for scenery, he met Fengzu and fell in love.
That was his first love, and the last.
"You want the world beads?" Hua Wuqing looked at Xu Zimo and said.
"Yes," Xu Zimo nodded.
Hua ruthlessly remained silent for a while, and then saw his hands waving slightly in the air, and the air in front of him began to fluctuate.
He swiped across the air with the magic pen in his hand, the space was torn apart, and a ball flew out of the crack.
The whole body of this round bead is pure white, and the structure inside is very transparent. At first glance, it seems to contain everything in the world.
There are auspicious deer galloping, wild horses neighing, flowers blooming, and long rivers running.
Hua Wuqing took back Feng Zu's painting, and then handed the World Bead to Xu Zimo.
He chuckled and said, "I hope it will shine in your hands."
"Yes," Xu Zimo nodded with a smile.
After obtaining the World Orb, Xu Zimo was about to leave when the space next to him suddenly fluctuated.
A young man in a white shirt came out from inside.
"It seems that the second inheritor has also arrived," Hua Wuqing said with a smile.
The young man in white shirt first looked around. When he saw Xu Zimo, he was stunned, obviously he didn't expect anyone to come earlier than him.
But when he saw the painting was ruthless, the young man was very excited, he hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed: "Song Qianqiu, the seventeenth generation disciple of the Song family, pays homage to the ancestor."
"Okay, get up, I'm not into this," Hua Wuqing shook his head with a smile.
Xu Zimo glanced at the young man, he knew that Hua Wuqing's real name was not Hua, and he didn't know whether his surname was Song in his previous life.
But when he looked at the young man's face, he was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere in his previous life.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Xu Zimo looked at the familiar face of the young man, "Isn't this guy the future saint of painting, Hua Qianqiu?"
Many people in the previous life said that Hua Qianqiu changed his surname to Hua after he obtained the ruthless inheritance of Hua.
Now it seems that the two should belong to the same family.
"Is the Song family okay?" Hua Wuqing glanced at the young man and asked with some emotion.
In fact, for Hua Wuqing, the current Song family is not that important anymore.
After all, after such a long time, his parents and friends reckoned that his life span had long since come to an end, and now the Song family basically knew no one except his blood relationship.
But no matter what, it was also his family, and he naturally didn't want it to decline.
"Ancestor, you left a lot of inheritance and skills in the family back then. Although no one in our Song family can surpass your achievements, we have developed rapidly in recent years and have become one of the best big families in Ziyang City." Song Qianqiu hurriedly replied: "The reason why I was able to pass the first three checkpoints so quickly this time is that when I found some items you left behind by accident, I got some information about the Painting Palace from it."
"Although you are my clan, if you want to obtain the inheritance of the magic brush, you still have to pass the fourth level," Hua Wuqing said: "This magic brush has been with me for so many years, I must find a good home for him."
"I understand," Song Qianqiu replied sincerely.
"If you draw a painting with artistic conception, you will pass the fourth level," Hua said, nodding ruthlessly.
... ...
Song Qianqiu came to the long table and took out a brush from his ring.
It can be seen that he is also well prepared, or that he is also a person who loves painting.
After laying out the white paper, the brush was flying around on the paper. Song Qianqiu's speed was very fast. What's even more frightening was that he completely closed his eyes when he was drawing.
After a long time, after a painting was completed, Song Qianqiu was seen lightly chopping with a knife on the huge waves on both sides of the cobblestone path.
A little bit of seawater splashed onto the white paper, adding a bit of artistic conception to the original ordinary painting.
The ink inside seems to be a little lighter, and then with the flow of the sea water, it looks more natural, without the cramped and deliberate painting.
The scene in this painting is the top of the mountain, and a pine and cypress grows alone on the edge of the cliff.
I didn't use too many fancy techniques to render it, but it is such an ordinary painting, but it reflects the steepness of the cliff, the tallness of the pines and cypresses, and the tenacious spirit for life.
