Wow!

Zhang Xuan paused.

Although Master Lu Chen's collection of books was large, it could not stop him from flipping through the books. In about an hour, he finally finished reading them all, and tens of thousands of identical books formed in his mind.

"Elementary Painting and Calligraphy Experience", "Complete Collection of Calligraphy and Painting Techniques", "How to Enter the Second Realm of Calligraphy and Painting", "The Only Copy of the Sunset"...

As expected of a master, he has collected almost all the books on calligraphy and painting in the entire Tianxuan Kingdom. Adding them all together, there are tens of thousands of books, among which there are hundreds of so-called unique books, which are difficult to find on the market.

If he were asked to collect them, even a master of calligraphy and painting would probably not be able to do it. It turns out that His Majesty Shen Zhui, in order to repay the kindness of enlightenment, sent people to collect and send them one by one.

"With these books, it should be fine!"

After copying the book, Zhang Xuan paused, his mind moved, and he whispered in his head: "Correct!"

Wow!

Correct sentences from countless books were extracted and re-formed into a new book.

Opening the book, Zhang Xuan looked over.

"Calligraphy and painting, divided into calligraphy and painting, can cultivate sentiment and make people feel peaceful... "

It starts with an explanation of calligraphy and painting, followed by how to hold a pen, how to write, and how to polish.

Everything has skills, including calligraphy and painting. Although it requires hard work to complete, if you have a good teacher and a good path, you will learn a lot faster.

This correct book, which collects tens of thousands of calligraphy and painting techniques and works, is a broad road to the top without any detours. Along the way, Zhang Xuan's understanding of calligraphy and painting becomes more and more profound.

He stood quietly and read the book page by page.

After an unknown amount of time, I opened my eyes and saw a pair of black eyes appearing in front of me.

"ah… "

While he was wondering, the owner of the eyeballs was startled, shouted, and hurriedly backed away.

"Master Lu Chen?"

Only then did Zhang Xuan see clearly. It was none other than Master Lu.

The master at this moment looked over with a vigilant expression, as if he had a wild beast on his body.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Looking at his appearance, Zhang Xuan looked strange.

I don't know how to kill, what does this attitude mean

"You... didn't make a breakthrough this time?"

Master Lu asked cautiously.

"Breakthrough? No!" Zhang Xuan was stunned.

"That's good..." Master Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but Master Lu Chen still had lingering fears: "I saw you haven't come out for a long time, so I wanted to come over and have a look..."

I thought that little friend Zhang Xuan would come out after about ten minutes while he was reading. Unexpectedly, it would be close to two hours as soon as he came in. I couldn't wait any longer, so I walked over.

When I came in, I saw him standing in front of the bookshelf with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Suddenly I remembered... It seemed to be the same last time. He read for a while and closed his eyes in a daze. Then his study became a mess and he was thrown to death, and then... nothing happened...

This time... it won't happen again...

While he was struggling with what to do, he saw the other party open his eyes and didn't run out of the study in fear, even though he was quite courageous.

"How can a breakthrough be so easy..."

Seeing his vigilant look, Zhang Xuan understood and shook his head with a wry smile.

It would have been better not to listen to this. When he heard it, Master Lu Chen only felt a tightness in his chest and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Not that easy

Wasn't it that easy for you last time

It was also because the breakthrough was too big and I couldn't adapt to the strength... If I hadn't had some strength, I might have died at that time...

The more I think about it, the more depressed I become. Forget it, luckily I didn't break through here this time, otherwise... I'm really considering not letting you enter the study again...

"How are you? Have you adjusted your mood?" Lu Chen changed the heavy topic.

"It's almost done, let's go out!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

When the two returned to the hall, they saw that Huang Yu, Bai Xun and others were already looking forward to seeing what was going on. They were reading books to adjust their state. They spent two or three hours at a time. They were drunk just thinking about it.

"How about it?"

The original language master's face didn't look very good either.

He originally planned to visit the famous teacher Yang Xuan in the afternoon, but this guy was good. He adjusted his mood until the sun was almost setting. Coupled with the secret judgment in his heart before, he didn't leave in a hurry, which was good.

"Uh... that's it!"

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Xuan felt a little embarrassed at the loss.

"Let's start painting!" Master Lu Chen waved his hand for fear that the scene would not look good.

"Hmm!" After quickly going through the painting methods he saw in the Tiandao books in his mind, Zhang Xuan came to the table in two steps and picked up the brush casually.

Seeing that he really wanted to paint, Huang Yu and Bai Xun immediately concentrated their attention and showed excitement.

After adjusting for such a long time, what kind of masterpiece can Master Zhang paint

Even the master of the original language couldn't help but look at it. If he was really deliberately cheating and pretending, he would not teach him a lesson...

While everyone was watching, Zhang Xuan hesitated: "Master Lu, do you still have paper? Can I try the brush first?"

Calligraphy and painting are not exercises. Just circulate the Qi in the body for a circle. No matter how much you know, you still need to practice and explore.

He had never painted before, and he had never used a brush very much. He had to test the softness and hardness of the brush first and know the lightness and weight of the ink and watercolor colors on the paper before he could paint.

This is also the reason why I have studied so many alchemy books but cannot become a real alchemist in a short time.

Refining alchemy requires a lot of practice, while painting requires paying attention to the artistic conception. Even if the brushstrokes are weak, you can still make good works if you understand the artistic conception.

"Try it!" The original language master's face became even more ugly.

If the other person is really a master of calligraphy and painting, why do you still need to try his handwriting

Clearly trying to delay time.

Hmph, I'll let you delay. After a while, I'll see if you have any other excuses.

Ignoring his weird look, Zhang Xuan picked up his brush, dipped it in watercolor and ink and drew a few strokes on the paper. Then he used another brush, dipped it in water and smeared it casually.

"Is this the most basic dyeing method? You have to try this... Master Zhang, isn't this your first time holding a pen?"

Looking at his actions, Huang Yu couldn't help but say.

Split dyeing is a technique in painting. One pen is dipped in color and another pen is dipped in water to spread the color, forming a gradient effect from thick to light. This is the same as the Changquan in martial arts. As long as you can draw, there's nothing you can't do...

Others try their pens to test the softness and hardness, as well as the lightness and weight of the ink. But this guy is better. He tries all kinds of techniques, like a curious baby who has never been touched before...

I saw everyone was constipated.

Brother, we have been waiting for you for several hours, can you hurry up

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll die of old age without being able to see your paintings...

"When I first picked up a pen, it seemed like the same thing. I wanted to try it, but actually... I couldn't do anything..." Bai Xun was also full of doubts, and even he could tell that something was wrong.

Look at Master Lu and Master Yuan, their aura changes as soon as they hold a pen, just like a swordsman holding a sword. You... what the hell is this

In front of him, Master Zhang, whom he admired, held the brush in a correct posture, but his movements were stiff and not at all relaxed and free. It was no different from the first time he came into contact with it.

Don't tell me that just now you were reading a book to get in shape, but you were actually learning how to paint

Master Lu Chen was also at a loss and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhang Xuan's gourd was selling.

"alright!"

After adapting for a while, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief as he finally fully integrated the knowledge learned in his mind with the movements on his hands.

"Then... let's start!"

Seeing him stop, Master Lu Chen asked tentatively, for fear that the guy in front of him would do something wrong again.

However, fortunately, Zhang Xuan didn't say anything else. He responded and took a few steps to the clean white paper. With a flick of his finger, the brush flew up and touched the ink. At the same time, he lightly touched it with his other hand. Grab, hold the other brush in your palm.

Wow!

The two brushes kept flying in his hands as if they were alive, and a painting slowly appeared on the originally empty white paper.

"This is... a left and right dragon?"

The original language master who originally wanted to expose his deception immediately widened his eyes when he saw this scene, and almost dropped his eyeballs to the ground.

Even Master Lu Chen swayed and did not faint on the spot.

"What is the left and right dragon?"

Seeing the two masters looking like they had seen a ghost, Bai Xun couldn't help but ask.

"Normally when we paint, we use a brush. We first outline the general shape, and then fill in the details!" Lu Chen explained.

Huang Yu and Bai Xun nodded at the same time.

They have also been exposed to calligraphy and painting, and they all know the steps of painting, outlining the general environment, filling in ink and polishing the details bit by bit until the painting is completed.

"It's the same as building a house. You first create the frame and then tamp it down bit by bit. Although the foundation is solid, the painting speed is a bit unsatisfactory and not fast enough!"

Master Lu Chen continued: "In order to increase the speed of painting, some powerful calligraphers and painters have created this method of swimming dragons from left to right. As the name suggests, you divide your mind into two tasks, draw the bow left and right, and use two brushes to start from the left and right ends at the same time. , there is no need to conceive a frame, nor any embellishment or polishing. The whole picture exists in the heart and keeps moving forward... When the two strokes meet, the painting is completed!"

"Doing this can more than double the painting time and efficiency, but it's extremely difficult!"

"First of all, we must have a clear understanding of the size of the entire painting. Secondly, we must not make any mistakes when dividing our minds. Finally, we must have a clear understanding of the colors and tones, so that there will be no confusion when the two sides of the painting are connected. Any questions…”

"To be honest, this is an extremely brilliant skill. Even Brother Yuan and I can't do it..."

Speaking of this, Master Lu Chen shook his head, his old face still full of disbelief.

This method of painting a dragon with two hands requires absolute confidence in the painting, and it is difficult to complete without decades of practice in the cold and summer. Zhang Xuan just did it...

Isn't that too exaggerated

"Don't be shocked yet. The left and right drawn parts must be perfectly connected to be considered a real success. If they are not connected, it is all fake!"

The original language master on one side slowed down and couldn't help but hum.

The left and right dragons are awesome, but no matter how good they are, if they can't connect, it's all nonsense.

It's still the same as building a house. Superb technology was used on both sides, and it was so strong that even a sixth-level warrior couldn't destroy it. But in the end... it couldn't be connected, it was uneven, and it was a failure!
