let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 115 The Saint of Painting: Wu Daozi
……

Kong Xilai was the first to take the test again.

The difference is that this time there is a set topic, and the assessment of painting can be carried out at the same time.

After all, calligraphy takes less time, but it takes longer to make a painting.

There is no need to wait!

Xiang Hesheng took out a few bamboo sticks and placed them on the table, and Kong Xi came to draw lots to choose the type of painting this time.

Kong Xi came to draw lots and saw that there were two characters written on it - Shanshui.

"Landscape." Kong Xilai smiled.

"It seems that Mr. Kong is lucky." Jiang Chaoge knew from Kong Xilai's expression that landscape painting should be his forte.

"Thank you!"

Kong Xilai nodded.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain of books. Immediately, he began to adjust his footsteps and position, as if he wanted to choose the best view.

When Luo Yu saw this, he said, "This Kong Xilai, is he trying to draw Shushan?"

"The top of the mountain of books is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a white river stretching across the sky. Taking this scene as a painting...it fits the theme of mountains and rivers." Jiang Chaoge replied.

"Painting according to the scenery is cheating!" Luo Yu pouted.

"He won Shanshui, so you can only say that you are lucky?" Jiang Chaoge smiled, and asked again: "Have you prepared in advance for the second level?"

"No, the theme is optional...I don't have that much time." Luo Yu shook his head: "After all, there are only seven days when the master decides the special ceremony."

Jiang Chaoge nodded.

In seven days, being able to practice a few words... is not bad.

It is basically impossible to practice painting again.

While the two were talking, Kong Xi came to the chosen location and started painting.

And Jiang Chenshui also walked up at this time.

"Jiang Chenshui, come and choose a topic."

"Okay." Xiang Hesheng put out a few bamboo sticks again.

Jiang Chenshui didn't look too much, and took out one casually.

There are two big characters written on it - Songzhu!
It means that you can paint green pine or green bamboo.

This made him heave a little sigh of relief, because this Jixia Academy was built on the mountain, and there are Cangshan Mountains everywhere, and, coincidentally, there is a tree on the way here.

"Jiang Daochang seems to be lucky. When I first came up, I saw a tall and handsome pine tree in the mountains, which can be used as a scenery." Jiang Chaoge said immediately.

Jiang Chenshui's lips moved, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "I draw bamboo!"

"Painting bamboo is good!" Jiang Chaoge immediately said again: "Bamboo artist: Noble, upright, upright, and tenacious. Isn't Daoist Jiang coming to participate in the assessment of Jixia Academy this time, a manifestation of integrity and nobility?"

Jiang Chenshui's body swayed, ignored Jiang Chaoge, and ran to draw bamboo.

Luo Yu looked at Jiang Chaoge: "Let's choose too."

"En." Jiang Chaoge nodded.

The two went up together and picked bamboo sticks.

Luo Yu's luck seemed to be good, as Kong Xilai also chose Shanshui.

So, she shouted happily: "Hahaha, I am also a landscape, and I can also paint according to the top of the mountain of books."

"Didn't you say this is cheating?" Jiang Chaoge glanced at her with a smile.

"What cheating? This is good luck!"

"Ha ha."

Jiang Chaoge didn't say much, just pulled out a bamboo stick.

There are two words written on it - lady.

"Lady?" Jiang Chaoge's face became a little strange.

And Xiang Hesheng also noticed the bamboo stick on Jiang Chao's singer, the corner of his mouth slightly raised and said: "Jiang Jieyuan's calligraphy skills in the first level, I have seen it here."

"So, this lady's bamboo stick...you put it in front of me on purpose?"

"Ahem!" Xiang Hesheng coughed violently twice: "You chose the topic yourself, so what does it matter to me?"

"That's right, it's impossible for Mr. Xiang to do this deliberately because he wanted to suppress my vigor. The students are overwhelmed." Jiang Chaoge smiled.

"..." Xiang Hesheng.

……

In fact, Jiang Chaoge really didn't care what to draw.

Anyway, he's in the plenum!

Generally speaking, when it comes to painting, Tang Bohu is definitely the first thing that comes to mind.

Although Tang Bohu also painted pictures of ladies, in fact, the real heyday of pictures of ladies was in the Tang Dynasty.

Tang poetry and Song Ci can be described as the pinnacle of poetry.

The same was true for the pictures of ladies at the time.

And the most famous person among them is Wu Daozi, a saint of painting.

Jiang Chaoge didn't see many pictures of ladies, but he had seen one, because that picture was placed in the LN Provincial Museum in the original world, and it was regarded as the treasure of the town hall.

It is called "87 Immortal Volume".

This is the only picture of a lady left by Wu Daozi in later generations.

Of course, it is impossible for Jiang Chaoge to copy all the pictures...he only needs to choose one.

"Since there used to be immortals in this world, I will draw a picture of 'immortals', which is also suitable for the occasion."

As for the prototype of the face...

Several shadows appeared in his mind at the same time: Meng Po, Ji Ruxue, Shan Gui, Cai Wenji, Liang Wan'er, Luo Yu...

In the end, he chose the Queen Mother!

The reason is very simple. Luo Yu mentioned to him that Xiang Hesheng once painted a picture for the Queen Mother on her 30th birthday, which is still displayed in the palace.

And Xiang Hesheng deliberately put the "lady" bamboo stick in front of him, no doubt to "suppress" his vigor in the first level.

To show the majesty of Jixia Academy.

That being the case, Jiang Chaoge is also ready to fulfill Xiang Hesheng's wish.

So, he looked at Xiang Hesheng again: "I heard that Mr. Xiang once painted for the queen mother in the palace?"

"That's right." Xiang Hesheng nodded.

Jiang Chaoge stopped talking and turned around to start painting.

Xiang Hesheng frowned, not quite understanding what Jiang Chaoge wanted to say.

And at this moment, Gargamel and the others also climbed up.

"Hey, it's a waste of my hands and feet!"

It could be seen that Gargamel also chose to break it with force, his clothes were stained with mud and water, and a few pieces were damaged, making him somewhat embarrassed.

Meng Xiao is a strategist in the four realms, so naturally he is no exception.

As for Han Huo and Song Yuanping, these two people are Legalists, but unexpectedly, they didn't have much damage on their bodies. It seems... they broke through with calligraphy.

The remaining few are all disciples of Confucianism, so there is no big problem, only two people are missing.

……

I saw that the second assessment was painting.

Meng Xiao consciously chose to break it with force.

Han Huo and Song Yuanping looked at each other, and they both walked towards the path to the left.

It seems that the two of them are very average in painting...

The others started to choose.

Gargamel also stayed, but instead of drawing bamboo sticks, he looked left and right, as if he wasn't thinking about the assessment.

time flies.

About two quarters of an hour later...

Gargamel suddenly yelled strangely: "Huh? Brother Jiang, is this... the Queen Mother?!"

With this shout, almost everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Chaoge, including Xiang Hesheng who was sitting behind the table with a calm face.

"The Empress Dowager?"

Xiang Hesheng looked at the "lady" described by Jiang Chaoge.

That is obviously not a mortal woman, the fairy spirit that is out of the world, and the fluttering ribbon all represent that this woman is a fairy who has ascended to the fairy world.

However, the woman's facial features are undoubtedly the empress dowager.

Long willow eyebrows, bright phoenix eyes, and that awe-inspiring temperament.

"It's really the Queen Mother!"

Xiang Hesheng was shocked, but not limited to the person Jiang Chaoge painted, he was actually shocked more by the "magnificence" in that painting.

Painting does not lie in similarity, but in color!
Xiang Hesheng's painting skills are already superb, especially in the painting of ladies, he surpassed his teacher, and he is known as the number one painter in Daqin's paintings of ladies today.

Therefore, he naturally knows how to draw.

Just because he knows how to paint, the degree of shock in his heart is far from comparable to others.

Looking at the "ladies" in Jiang Chaoge's works, he felt an inexplicable imagination, as if he saw a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, floating on the drawing paper.

So beautiful.

Not only is the beauty of the person, but the thin lines drawn by the strokes... are even more beautiful!
As if alive.

This is still a painting, this is obviously a fairy in the sky!

……

As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Xilai naturally knew how to paint.

He still remembered what Jiang Chaoge said before.

"A person's energy is limited. Since I am proficient in calligraphy, it is naturally impossible to be proficient in painting. On the contrary, Master Kong's family has a long history, so it should be painting?"

"boom!"

His hands shook.

A drop of ink fell on the scroll.

"Is this called not knowing how to paint? He actually said he didn't know how to paint?!"

Kong Xilai was stunned, and then he remembered the words he had answered Jiang Chaoge, and for a moment, he had an urge to dive into the ground.

And at this moment...

Jiang Chaoge turned his head and smiled at everyone.

He was very humble and polite.

He didn't respond with a word, just smiled lightly, and continued to paint.

But Kong Xilai was struck by lightning in his heart.

Then, he looked at the landscape painting in front of him, and the drop of ink on the painting... His heart was not just struck by lightning.

"Fuck!"

Kong Xilai couldn't hold back, and cursed out.

……

Another quarter of an hour passed.

Those who paint have all painted.

Luo Yu was the first to hand in the scroll. She painted the top of the mountain of books, with delicate brushwork and relatively light ink, which gave the scroll a feeling of after the rain.

"Not bad, grade B!" Xiang Hesheng nodded, "I'm sorry, I didn't pass."

"What didn't pass? How could I not pass!" Luo Yu refused to accept.

"It can only stop here."

"..."

Luo Yu was very upset, and walked up to Gargamel who was at the side: "Look, Gargamel, why did I fail? My drawing is obviously very good."

"Of course, Her Royal Highness's painting must be very good, but Her Royal Highness's choice of theme is not good, and luck is a bit unlucky, but you can still choose to break through." Gargamel reminded.

"Lipo?" Luo Yu was thoughtful.

And the next one to hand in the paper was Jiang Chenshui.

Jiang Chenshui painted bamboo.

He paints with ink and wash brushwork, each bamboo is vigorous and powerful, and he really has a very high attainment in painting skills.

Ge Ge commented: "I didn't expect that Taoist priests who draw symbols really know how to draw?"

Jiang Chenshui naturally ignored it.

Next, Kong Xi came.

He also painted landscapes.

However, compared to Luo Yu, this descendant of Confucius is indeed good at painting, even if there is a little more ink on it.

However, he still stippled the ink into a rock.

"Jiang Chenshui, A."

"Kong Xilai, my lord."

Both passed the second test.

In the end, it was naturally Jiang Chaoge's turn.

He walked to the table and directly handed the drawn 'Empress Dowager Picture' to Xiang Hesheng.

Xiang Hesheng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the painting on the table, his eyes lit up, and he immediately moved closer to the scroll in front of him, and started to look at it.

After watching for a full quarter of an hour.

He yelled in satisfaction.

"Good! Good! Good!!!"

The more carefully he looked at the picture scroll, the closer he looked at it, the more shocked he was.

Every stroke, every painting is elegant and natural, without any superfluous, and it is just right to outline the elegance of "immortal".

He had never seen such an exquisite "Portrait of Ladies".

His teacher couldn't draw it, and he... couldn't draw it!
Instinctively, he let out a series of "good" sounds, he really wanted to suppress Jiang Chaoge's aura and show off the erudition of Jixia Academy.

However, he knew that he couldn't suppress it at all.

"Jiang Jieyuan, I thought your calligraphy attainments were already superb, but I didn't expect...your painting skills are even higher than your calligraphy attainments!" Xiang Hesheng took a deep breath.

"Mr. Xiang's absurd praise." Jiang Chaoge was polite.

"It's a pity, I can't give a real rating for this painting, I can only give the highest rating (ten)." Xiang Hesheng looked a little regretful.

"It's okay, it's enough." Jiang Chaoge nodded.

"Jiang Jieyuan, please continue to move forward!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Chaoge smiled and walked up again.

Luo Yu spoke at this moment: "Jiang Yu'er...you wait for me up there, I'll go break it!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain." Jiang Chaoge replied.

Both Kong Xilai and Jiang Chenshui looked at Jiang Chaoge. Because the two of them handed in the painting in advance, they are still in front of Jiang Chaoge.

However, they also understand...

Just walk ahead, that's all!

But Gargamel remembered something at this moment, and said to Xiang Hesheng: "Mr. Xiang, this picture of the Queen Mother, but you want to show it to the Queen Mother?"

Xiang Hesheng glanced at Gargamel and nodded, "Of course it should be presented to the Queen Mother."

"It's so good." Gargamel didn't say any more.

……

Jiang Chaoge continued to go up.

At this point, he has passed two assessments in a row.

Calligraphy, painting.

In front of him, apart from Bai Mei, who chose to break through earlier, only Jiang Chenshui, who was on the National Scholars List, and Kong Xilai, the descendant of Kong Sheng, remained.

"After two assessments, there are only three people left in the front. It seems that it is indeed extremely difficult to reach the top of the mountain of books." Jiang Chaoge sighed.

"It may be extremely difficult for others, but it shouldn't be difficult for Mr. Jiang?" Kong Xilai replied to Jiang Chaoge with a depressed face.

"It's no match for Young Master Kong."

"..." Kong Xi came.

This sentence is incomparable, it is more harmful than ridicule.

Kong Xilai really wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say a word when he got to his mouth. Who made him say that his painting skills are outstanding?
