Chapter 845: Drawing Avalokitesvara(1/2)
On the open space inside the gate of Mengcheng.
A huge canvas was laid.
The painter found by Ye County Magistrate was listening to Zhao Ce's words, with a puzzled expression.
"Draw Guanyin Picture?"
"I can do this in Guanyin picture, but sir, you said you are not the ones you are doing?"
The painter was holding a picture of Guanyin in his hand, showing it to Zhao Ce.
The pictures in his hand are similar to most ancient ladies' pictures.
They are all characters with slender eyes and abstract faces.
But this is not what Zhao Ce wants.
He described to the artist: "The eyes are so bad."
"You have to draw realistically, just like the portraits we usually draw."
Civil servants and emperors of the Ming Dynasty basically had ID photos.
Those ID photos are realistic painting methods.
But the folk painting method is basically the type of ladies with slender eyes that everyone is familiar with.
Zhao Ce asked this painter to draw, although it was to be more realistic.
But I don't want to be so realistic.
They are like the gods in the previous movies.
If Zhao Ce hadn't lit up this skill, he would have wished he would have made a move directly on himself.
After hearing Zhao Ce's words, the painter barely understood.
He tried to draw a sketch first and then modify it based on the opinions put forward by Zhao Ce.
When Magistrate Ye arranges other things Zhao Ce wants, he returns.
I saw the sketch on the painter's desk, and it was already performing the finishing action.
Zhao Ce stood aside and said a few words to him from time to time.
"Yes, the eyes should be brighter."
"The characters' lines should be smooth and there should be more white space around them."
Zhao Ce gave the painter guidance according to the image of Guanyin on TV he had watched in his previous life.
After the painting was finished, the painter holding the pen opened his eyes widened in surprise.
"So, is there such a Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Magistrate Ye, who was beside him, also walked over curiously and looked down.
The person on the drawing holds a clean bottle in his hand, and willow branches are inserted into the bottle.
Her eyebrows were a little red, her mouth was smiling, and her eyes revealed her kindness. Even through the portrait, people could feel the love for all living beings.
County Magistrate Ye also exclaimed.
"This is Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Zhao Ce felt a little proud when he heard the two of them's exclamations.
This prototype of Guanyin Bodhisattva is praised as the existence of the living Guanyin Bodhisattva in modern times.
In ancient times, isn’t this a big killer against a group of superstitious young people?
Yes.
What Zhao Ce thought was that the way to make these White Lotus thieves surrender without sacking their troops was to defeat faith with faith.
These group of demons from the White Lotus Sect bewitching people's hearts and use so-called faith.
The White Lotus Sect has various beliefs, but the most common one is to believe in Western Buddhism.
But for the local people of the Ming Dynasty.
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoist gods, as long as they are gods, they worship them.
Therefore, Zhao Ce asked someone to draw this Guanyin to manually create a miracle of the Bodhisattva appearing.
Such a realistic portrait of Guanyin is matched with their original beliefs.
What will be rebelled then?
Just kneel down and worship God.
but.
It is not enough to just be a portrait of Guanyin.
Zhao Ce pointed to the details and discussed with the painter.
The general pattern remains unchanged.
But meticulous adjustments are necessary.
After confirming the first draft, Zhao Ce asked the painter to draw the painting onto a large canvas.
At this time, County Magistrate Ye finally found the time and reported the progress with Zhao Ce.
"Sir, what you want is ready here."
Zhao Ce nodded.
"Go and go and have a look."
......
County government office.
The people hired by County Magistrate Ye were sewing all the fur collected from the yamen.
Nothing to care about beauty.
The dense pins are exposed to the fur surface.
Zhao Ce reached out and pulled it hard.
“Good, the sewing is very strong.”
"It's almost done."
County Magistrate Ye smiled.
He was a little puzzled.
What exactly is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court going to do?
Forget it to paint Guanyin statue, it makes people sew such a large piece of fur.
What is this to do?
Thinking of this, he asked curiously.
Zhao Ce smiled and said, "I want to use this thing to send the portrait to the sky."
"Send it to heaven?"
County Magistrate Ye looked up at the sky.
"Flew, fly kites?"
"Yeah, it's almost the same."
"But this kite has to be controlled by someone."
After Zhao Ce finished speaking, he checked the other equipment and told the person to assemble it.
There is no need for Magistrate Ye to ask someone to prepare lunch.
But like everyone else, I made do with the big pot rice.
Shortly after the meal, Zhao Ce continued to go to the city gate to see the painter painted.
At this time, Xie Qianhu brought a man to him.
"Mr. Marquis, this is my close servant."
"It was said that Eunuch Liu asked him to bring news to the Jinyiwei."
Xie Qianhu suppressed his voice and reported in a low voice to Zhao Ce.
The appearance of the prince's close servant means that they can know Zhu Houzhao's movements.
After receiving the report from the people below, Xie Qianhu did not think about it.
He brought people directly to Zhao Ce.
However, when he first arrived here and saw that the painter had completed more than half of his paintings, he couldn't help but be stunned.
To be continued...
