God Weird Fairy

Chapter 45 The only name Bawu seeks in this life

As the library opened, the scholars and celebrities who had received the invitations in advance entered the library and went straight to the backyard.

And some ordinary people rushed to the enlightened bookshelves in the library to see what books and newspapers they could read at will.

Nan Yi had been mingling among the onlookers. When he saw the crowd starting to flow towards the library, he was ready to leave.

For him, the main purpose of establishing Kaiming Library is to accumulate popularity for "The Legend of Two Dragons" and strive to get out of the industry as soon as possible.

But Nan Yi feels pretty good about making some insignificant contribution to the people by popularizing education within his ability.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the people around him, Nan Yi felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

However, he didn't want to show his face, so he prepared to withdraw.

As a result, Nan Yi turned around and saw the lecturer Zhu Xianzheng not far behind him, hiding from the sun under the eaves of a shop that was closed for the New Year, and waved to him.

Nan Yi was slightly surprised. He didn't know when Zhu Xian saw him, but he seemed to be waiting for him intentionally.

But Nan Yi still went up to greet him, bowed and said: "Master Zhu, I wish you a prosperous new year and a long life."

Zhu Xian also returned the gift with his hand.

After a few words of greeting, Zhu Xian asked: "Nanyi, is it you who is named Yi Mingbao?"

Nan Yi was slightly startled, but nodded directly in agreement without hesitation.

He didn't publicize this identity much, but he also didn't go out of his way to hide it.As long as you have the intention, you can notice it.

Zhu Xian never thought that Nan Yi was Yi's name at first, but Nan Yi once told Zhu Xian about changing his name and wanted to change it from "Nan Yi" to "Nan Yi".

Then today, Zhu Xian saw Nan Yi outside the library, and heard that "Yi Ming" had a junior fellow student named Zhou Qing. Plus the content of a letter he received this morning, he suddenly made some assumptions in his mind. .

He called Nan Yi and asked, and sure enough, the person named Yi was Nan Yi.

"I have been a teacher for three years, but I didn't see that you have such painting skills. It's just my eyesight that is stupid."

Nan Yi laughed sarcastically: "Master Zhu's words are serious. It must be because the student was concentrating on studying and had no intention of showing off his painting skills. It was not until recently that the student had the courage to show off his ugly face when he was going to study in the county town and was preparing to save some money. .”

"By the way, regarding the name change, the student met Mr. Bi, the county magistrate, a few days ago. Mr. Bi is a warm-hearted man and has already helped me change my household registration name tag, so there is no need to trouble Master Zhu anymore."

"Oh? Have you changed your name?" Zhu Xianlian was surprised, changed his title smoothly, and continued to ask, "Nan Yi, may I ask, who did you learn your painting skills from?"

When asked this question, Zhu Xian looked directly at Nan Yi with bright eyes.

"It's probably hard to say who I studied under." Nan Yi said carefully, "I used to learn painting, and I referenced the paintings of many painters. But I was half self-taught and half blind, and I painted for several years without being known to anyone. His paintings suddenly developed the painting skills and style he has now."

Hearing this, Zhu Xian was very happy.

He had long guessed that Nan Yi's painting skills were not inherited from his master.Because there is such a unique painting technique, it is impossible for him to be unknown, but to spread his painting skills to Nan Yi.

But while he was overjoyed, Zhu Xian suddenly spoke in embarrassment: "Nanyi, if you don't have a master, if you tell people in the future, can you let your master have the false name of half master of painting and Taoism?"

Nan Yi was startled at first, and then his expression turned strange.

He also said that Zhu Xian asked why he was a master, but it turned out that it was just to gain his reputation and use his name as a master.Zhu Xian's face turned red, as if he was embarrassed, and he said sarcastically: "Master, I know this request is really presumptuous. But I am old and have no other aspirations in this life. I can't let go of just one word of my name. I am in the school dormitory. When I teach, I also want to teach students who are talented and famous, so that they can gain some reputation as teachers and students."

"If you don't want my name to be used, there's no need to be embarrassed, just say so. But if you can give me some false name, if there is any place where I need my help, you can make it clear."

Nan Yi suddenly realized that he was so impressed.

Why did Ming Pao easily capture the minds of scholars in Nanshan County as soon as it was published?
It's not because of how strong the direct-drawing technique is, but because it's new and different, in line with future trends, and can become a genre of its own.

Frankly speaking, regardless of the difference in painting style, just looking at painting skills, there are not many people in Nanshan County who are superb in painting skills; there are also many people who are far better than Nanyi in painting skills.

But it is useless to be better than Nan Yi. As long as he is not a master of painting or a master of painting, he is just an ordinary painter.After a hundred years, no one knew about it.

But it's different if you switch to direct drawing technique.

First change the hilltop, occupy the high ground, and then work together to promote the direct painting technique into a new trend and new faction.

When the faction grows in the future, and future generations can trace back to the beginning of the faction's development and rank them based on their seniority, those who seize the highland throne will naturally be famous for future generations.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the literati and celebrities in Nanshan County are so interested in the direct painting technique.

It was truly a God-given opportunity that allowed many people to see the opportunity to pass down their name in history.

Furthermore, on one side are unknown ordinary painters, on the other side are famous new leaders. The literati and celebrities voted with their feet and actively competed for the first place, which will naturally further promote the growth and development of the trend.

This is the momentum.

As for Zhu Xian, as a trend follower, he originally received an invitation from Xie Beihe in advance and was planning to attend the New Year's tea party at Kaiming Library.

But he saw Nan Yi in the crowd and guessed that Nan Yi was his name.

At this time, Zhu Xian suddenly became interested.

Rather than fighting for the high throne of the new school of painting, it is better to lean directly to the highest throne.

"I am Zhu Xian, the leader of the new sect of painting, the first leader of the new sect, the master of realistic painting... and half of Nan Yi's master."

Zhu Xian, who was fascinated by him, felt a little embarrassed, but after some ideological struggle, he finally stopped Nan Yi and asked anxiously.

But under Zhu Xian's uneasy gaze, Nan Yi began to think: If Zhu Xian was cited as his semi-artist, would it have some effect on covering up the direct-drawing technique, which has a completely different style?
He said: "Master Zhu, you are my teacher, how can you say that you are half a teacher? However, I don't want to speak falsely, and I don't like to show up in public, but it is inconvenient to talk to others. But now, my painting skills The person who opened his eyes is Zhou Qing, please ask Zhou Qing to tell the public and publicize this matter."

Zhu Xian was overjoyed: "Very good, very good."

In Zhu Xian's eyes, Nan Yi cherishes feathers and is not willing to publicize them personally, which is normal.But Zhou Qing now has the name of Nan Yi's painting disciple, so it is enough for Zhou Qing to talk about this matter.

"But how did Zhou Qing learn your painting skills so quickly?" Zhu Xian was puzzled by this.

After hearing this, Nan Yi smiled slightly: "Zhou Qing once had a friend who was the best in ink. He was extremely talented. He could learn from ink and get the meaning on paper, and he could also use ink to teach others. With his help, Zhou Qing was able to learn. My painting skills are truly passed down. I just don’t know if Master Zhu is willing to eat ink?"
