Chapter 2 Rookie Painting Skills
The scholar was originally an aide in the roadside army on Huainan East Road. He was familiar with medical skills and used some means to rescue Geng Mao just now. He asked the boy named Wen all kinds of questions.
From the person whose surname is Wen, the coma is Mao Geng, who is his cousin. This time, Mao Geng and his family of five were accompanied by the boy named Wen to join the Song Dynasty from Shandong under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. They did not want to be attacked by the Jin soldiers patrol while smuggling the Huai River. The other four people died or scattered. Mao Geng and the Wen family were holding a wooden board and drifted all the way. They luckily drifted to the south bank of the Huai River and arrived on the side of the Song Dynasty, but were rescued by the Song soldiers.
The surname Wen was very verbal, and he made the process of joining Song reasonable, and there was no flaw. Unexpectedly, Mao Geng, who was in a coma, said two words in a confused way, which aroused a suspicion from the gentleman who claimed to be a wise man. Now, one of the two seemed dull but the other was erect, both at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Although the surname Wen was a little thin, Mao Geng's body was very strong, and an elite Jin soldier must have been just like this. But Mao Geng kept silent after he made a strange accent, and the more he looked, he seemed to be guilty and deliberately concealed.
Suppose the two were fine works sent by the Jin soldiers. One pretended to be deaf but had strong force, and the other was smart and able to adapt to the situation. However, they cooperated with each other and were the best partner to cheat, kill, kill, and set fire. Could it be that they were really "to fish for a long line" to do conspiracy? The scholar stroked his beard and pondered, and even thought about it. The secret master of the Jin soldiers conspired to send a fine work to the Song Dynasty. In his eyes, the suspicion of these two guys' detailed works was a little higher.
The boy from the Wen family continues to explain:
"My cousin's father, also known as my uncle, Gong Mao, was shot to death by Jin soldiers when he returned to the south. We have an unbearable grudge against the Jin soldiers, so we are absolutely impossible to be spies of the Jin soldiers! Please check it out!"
Seeing this literary boy looking sad and angry, this literary man was a little inaccurate. If he misjudged the corrective guest who hated the Jin soldiers as a spy, it would be a bad thing. Given that the Song Dynasty spared no effort to absorb the Han people ruled by the Northern Jin Dynasty over the years, this major policy strategy has been implemented without fail. If an unjust case is created and spread, it will not only be punished, but may even implicate Shangguan. This matter must be careful!
When the military man next to him heard the "Taoist" and "Mao Gong", he immediately recalled the words "the god with the surname Mao" and "Maoshan Taoist" mentioned in his speech, so he said in his voice:
"Brother Wen said that Brother Mao has a Taoist master. That master is not a god-like figure, right?"
When Cousin Wen heard this, he relaxed and said with a smile:
"This sergeant brother was joking. Where did the gods come from in this world?"
The scholar had heard the legend of the pre-Qin Mao Meng ascended to immortality. There was a proverb that "the gods and immortals were at the beginning of their enlightenment, and they rode the dragon and ascended to Taiqing." There was also the saying of the three masters of the king of Sanmao, but "the son did not say that the strange powers were in chaos." The scholar just laughed it off. Looking back, he was reminded by the words of the military man, and then asked a tricky question:
"You little brother Mao is named Mao Geng, right? Since you have become a Taoist priest, you must have some Taoist practices. I don't know what kind of skills you have learned. It's better to show your skills and let me see them."
He wanted to take the exam for the Mao family. If he didn't have any knowledge, he was lying on purpose, and he was definitely a liar and a spy.
Geng Mao knew that the so-called Mao Geng had a Taoist priest but was just a temporary fabrication by his cousin Wen, but he wanted to fulfill his lies by himself. Thinking about seeing Taoist priests in later TV, such as pinching a sword technique, muttering words while chanting, and such urgent as the law. I don’t know if this was the way to play in the Song and Jin Dynasties. If you play the wrong trick, you have to use another lie to fulfill your lies. If you are not sure about this, you should forget about it.
Suddenly, I thought about alchemy. In terms of chemistry, Taoist priests these days are just scumbags, and they can even develop various advanced gameplay methods. But if you take a step back, you can't get all kinds of props at the moment. Besides, I am familiar with chemical symbols and some chemical equations, and it's okay to talk about it on paper. If you practice it in practice, you may not be as good as the alchemy Taoist priest. Alas! The so-called "straight walks are like a mountain". Although the tricks of Taoist priests are not good, they are now pretending to be a disciple and perform two Taoist abilities, but they don't know where to start, and they are a little embarrassed for a while.
The scribe saw Mao Geng in a dilemma and felt proud, hehe! Let's see how the two boys were trying to make excuses.
Geng Mao was at a loss, so he looked at the military man with his eyes. The military man said something about a god, but he secretly agreed with the way to throw bricks and lead jade, which made this scholar like Diao De follow the trend and propose the method of taking the school exam to make things difficult for him. Could it be that his luck after traveling through time is as good as before traveling through time!
But this look doesn't matter. After a closer look, the military man looked a bit similar to a college classmate in the past. I remember that as a painting enthusiast, I painted a picture of that classmate. Of course, my portrait sketching level is only a rookie, but with a black and white photo of that classmate, that's another matter. Using a transparent plastic film with squares, it's much easier to draw portraits. Well, afterwards, the students unanimously despised the painting method without technical content. Also, you think, first cover a square transparent plastic film on the photo, and then use a magnifying glass to draw a portrait to fill in pixels on the paper, but it's just to use a charcoal pen to enlarge the black and white photos. However, it's undeniable that it looks very similar to it, and I'm still a little proud of it.
It seems that I have to use my painting skills. Maybe I can't do it in my previous life, but in the Song and Jin Dynasties, there is no problem to use it to attract attention.
He said to the scribe:
"At that time, the master once taught me that painting technique, the boy learned some of that fur, today's courage, that ugly. I'm just for this guy, Jun brother, how about that picture?"
This sentence is a Shandong accent that comes with a sluggish statement. It is both slow and not smooth, and the one that says it is painful. But Little Brother Su Zhi is a fool who doesn't know a few words, but now he praises his painting skills seriously, so he naturally doesn't believe it. However, since Mao Geng said that, it was originally because of the trouble caused by his temporary essay. Seeing the scholar still looked suspicious, he immediately made up his mind to help him:
"This Jun brother is very majestic, and it must be good to let my cousin draw a picture with you."
In fact, the military man has a prominent cheekbones and looks nothing to do with the word "superior". As for the fierce look of his cheekbones, he insists on leaning on "magnificent and extraordinary", it is not too far-fetched, but because his facial features are clear and distinctive, it happens to be a bit similar to Geng Mao's later classmates. Since Geng Mao has painted the portrait of that classmate, he is familiar with it, so of course he has to choose this ready-made object to paint. Once he is well painted, he can show off his suspicion and at the same time he can regain some self-esteem, so as not to be condescending to the thief.
The military man was hated by Brother Wen and was well-off. In this life, except for his parents, it was probably this brother Wen who made a positive comment on his appearance. He was so excited that he said to the scholar:
"Mr. Jiang, look, that one can be made?"
Mr. Jiang nodded:
"Okay, just as you wish, please show your skills in painting."
He turned around and said to the military man:
"Niu San, go and get paper and pen."
Geng Mao Zhan smiled and said something:
"Mr. Jiang, just take the paper - that one is fine. I draw - that one without a brush, I use the one I use - that one I will make myself, just give me the fire - that one."
Geng Mao had practiced a little Chinese painting, but he could draw a few strokes of orchid, grass, ink bamboo and the like imitating the "Biographies of Mustard Garden Paintings". He was completely in the form of the shape but not the meaning. Those few strokes of flowers and plants could barely make up the numbers. If you want to show off in the Song Dynasty, you can only reveal that you are ugly. Not to mention using brushes to draw characters. So you should just use charcoal strips honestly! However, charcoal strips have to be made by self-made. In my previous life, I used cans to burn willow branches by myself, but now there is no such condition.
The scholar named Jiang was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't know where this young man Mao was from. His expectations for his painting skills were 10% higher. He gave him a good face and told Niu San:
"Niu San, then take two pieces of paper and fire sickle and velvet."
Geng Mao walked around and broke some willow branches. Willow trees were not rare. Then he broke a few willow branches as thick as a little finger, then folded them into small sections, and then asked Niu San to help make the fire with a fire sickle and ignite the fire drying fire. To be honest, he still couldn't play with this fire sickle.
Then ignite these willow branches and burn them together. When they reach about 70%, cover them with soil to isolate the air. After the temperature drops, half of the charcoal strips are used.
Mr. Jiang saw the boy of the Mao family for so long, and guessed that this boy should use this black charcoal strip to paint. In his impression, only children would use this charcoal strip to doodle randomly. Could it be that this guy's master also used this charcoal strip to paint? But then again, painting charcoal strips should be longer than brushes. Perhaps the master of the Mao family was passed down from a special painting sect, and he should not be despised rashly. Thinking about this in his heart, he wanted to see what the method of painting charcoal strips was like.
Geng Mao, okay, it should be called Mao Geng! One of the past and present lives is called "Geng Mao" and the other is called "Mao Geng". In terms of pronunciation, the order of "GENGMAO" and "MAODENG" are reversed, and the pronunciation is very high. The pronunciation is high. The pronunciation is probably due to the cause and condition of the past and present lives. In reverse order, it means that the past and present lives are clearly distinguished. Well, it is good to call Mao Geng in this life. At least, Mao Geng's fortune should be better. Geng Mao decided to forget the name Geng Mao, and from then on, he was Mao Geng himself.
Feeling that luck was about to change, Mao Geng began to turn on the protagonist mode, and gradually started to pick up the style. Niu San also asked a wooden board to fill the painting board, and a simple painting board was supported. Then Mao Geng finally started painting. As a student examiner, Mr. Jiang was quite patient. During this period, he also let the two boys have a full meal of cakes. He waited for more than half an hour before the Mao boy opened his painting.
In fact, the level of portrait sketching in previous life is not enough. However, as we grow older, the feelings about outlines and light and shadows in previous life are different after 40 years old. It seems that we have a little glimpse of the mystery, but we have never written it again, so today is also the time to prove it.
The first stroke that Mao Geng fell was a short line. Mao Geng himself knew that this was because he was not sure about writing, but immediately, he drew a long outline and then began to confirm it after writing.
Unlike all portraits in the Song Dynasty, although Mao Geng also used lines, it was more important to express Niu San's facial contour through light and dark, light and shadow. When he was drawing sketches in his previous life, he was tired of highlights, light and dark lines, etc., but he didn't understand them, so he wrote without any spiritual energy. However, when he was old, he learned some sketching methods, but he never tried his painting skills again. The reason was that he spent time on fishing.
Unexpectedly, after traveling through time today, the first thing I did was to pick up the sketch. Fortunately, after the more I realized it later, I really felt it.
As Mao Geng continued to write, the surprise of the Wen family's cousin began to reveal itself. The later, the cousin Mao Geng became more and more magical.
Half an hour later, a sketch was completed. Mao Geng was really not satisfied with the self-evaluation of this sketch. There were several failures in the outline and light and darkness, but there was no eraser and it could not be remedied. Therefore, in terms of shape, it can only be said to be between the image and the difference. As for the expression of spirit, of course, it is not.
But in Mr. Jiang's eyes, this was a strange painting. Even when Mr. Jiang looked at the painting with his myopia, almost all his face was pasted on paper.
