Myth: Xianwu Tang Dynasty

Chapter 91

Time is like running water, passing by quietly.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time, after half a month of continuous study of calligraphy and painting contemplation, Bai Yuxian's attainments in calligraphy and painting and the progress in acquiring the [Zen Heart] destiny can be said to have made rapid progress.

The progress value of obtaining the entire [Zen Heart] destiny has reached as high as [713/1000].

The progress value is only 287 points short of obtaining the [Zen Heart] destiny.

But at this time, Bai Yuxian found that the way he learned calligraphy and painting by observing and copying the original works of calligraphy and painting masters was completely ineffective, and it was difficult to improve his own understanding.

At the same time, Bai Yuxian himself also felt that his calligraphy and painting attainments seemed to have fallen into a bottleneck. If he wanted to continue to improve, he would have to rely on his own understanding or find other methods. Continue to observe and learn other methods. The works of calligraphers and painters have lost their effectiveness.

"However, the [Zen Heart] destiny acquisition progress value has now reached 713. Even if I can no longer increase the acquisition speed of destiny progress value by observing and copying the works of calligraphy and painting masters, I only need to ensure that I spend more than three hours a day. The self-study is enough to obtain the [Zen Heart] destiny within the next three months, and then it can be combined to obtain the [Martial Saint] destiny."

Even if three months pass, it will still be mid-May, and there are still more than four months left before the martial arts examination, which is enough time for him to obtain the [Martial Saint] destiny and attack the martial arts Xuangang.

Looking at the progress of obtaining the [Zen Heart] destiny on the information panel at this moment, Bai Yuxian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although my calligraphy and painting attainments seem to have hit a bottleneck now, I can no longer improve myself and speed up the acquisition of [Zen Mind] destiny by observing and copying the original works of other famous calligraphy and painting masters.

However, based on the current progress in acquiring the [Zen Heart] destiny, he only needs to continue practicing calligraphy and painting for three hours every day, which is enough to ensure that the progress in acquiring the [Zen Heart] destiny is fully completed within three months.

And even if another three months pass, it will only be mid-May.

By then, he will obtain the [Martial Saint] destiny. With the blessing of the [Martial Saint] destiny, it will definitely be enough for him to break through to the martial arts Xuangang realm before the martial arts examination in October this year.

Bai Yuxian couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and the slight sense of urgency in his heart completely disappeared.

Of course, if we can continue to find a way to quickly obtain the [Zen Heart] fate progress value, it would be best to obtain the [Zen Heart] fate as soon as possible.

"Brother Yuxian's paintings are really getting better and better."

Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling next to them were looking at Bai Yuxian's new paintings.

On the white paper, Bai Yuxian's own figure appears vividly on the paper. It gives people a vague feeling of being lifelike and lifelike, but if you look closely, it seems that it is still a little bit short.

In the past half month, it can be said that Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling accompanied Bai Yuxian every day and watched Bai Yuxian's calligraphy and painting skills improve bit by bit.

Especially when it comes to painting, although the original Bai Yuxian could also paint and draw things accurately, he lacked the lifelike feeling before his eyes.

Bai Yuxian's previous paintings gave people the impression that they had their own shape but no spirit. He could paint skin but had difficulty painting bones.

Now, Bai Yuxian's paintings give people the feeling that they are both physically and spiritually complete, and they already have a bit of a master's style, but they still seem to be a little bit behind.

"In painting and calligraphy, I have reached a bottleneck. Whether I can make further progress depends on my own understanding."

Bai Yuxian slowly put down the pen in his hand.

He knew that he had indeed reached a bottleneck when it came to his attainments in calligraphy and painting. Whether he could make further progress in the future depended on his understanding.

But if he can take the next step, then in terms of calligraphy and painting attainments, he will completely enter the ranks of everyone, and from then on he will become his own family and be on par with those famous calligraphy and painting masters.

And if this step can be taken successfully, Bai Yuxian has a hunch that the progress of obtaining the [Zen Heart] fate may also be increased by this wave.

"It would be great if we could find one or two famous calligraphers and painters to exchange ideas and ask for advice."

Bai Yuxian felt that if he could find one or two famous calligraphy and painting masters to seek advice from each other and get personal guidance from them, he might soon be able to gain enlightenment and completely break the current bottleneck.

"Sir, the boy at the gate has sent word that Mr. Li Bai is here and is waiting for you at the gate."

At this time, a nun walked in from the entrance of the courtyard and bowed to Bai Yuxian.

"it is good."

I see.

Bai Yuxian nodded immediately.

During this period of time, Li Bai has been staying in Beijing to make friends, trying hard to show his talents and win opportunities for himself to become an official.

Nowadays, Li Bai has gained a lot of fame in Beijing and has made many friends. Among them, Cui Zongzhi and Li Bai have become each other's confidants.

However, Bai Yuxian's relationship with Li Bai was not estranged, and they became closer as time went by. Li Bai often came to him to go out drinking and playing together.

During this period, Li Bai also had two sword duels with Bai Yuxian, but both times ended in Bai Yuxian's defeat, and this was without the use of simple swordsmanship.

As for the comparison of cultivation level, it goes without saying that Li Bai's martial arts cultivation level is already the martial arts Xuangang.

If he really compares his cultivation level, the current Bai Yuxian can't even catch Li Bai's sword.

Although Li Bai is now famous among the capital and the world for his talent, Bai Yuxian knows that Li Bai's talent in martial arts and swordsmanship is definitely the best in the world.After returning to the wing, Bai Yuxian changed clothes under the service of Han Shiyin and Xiang Ling, and then went out.

Soon he arrived at the door and saw Li Bai coming in a carriage and waiting for him.

"Brother Li."

"Haha, Brother Bai, get in the car quickly!"

Seeing Bai Yuxian, Li Bai laughed immediately, feeling happy in his heart, and pulled Bai Yuxian into the car without any explanation.

Although during this period of time, Li Bai had gained quite a reputation in Chang'an City and made many friends.

But deep down in his heart, there are only two people in Chang'an that Li Bai feels can truly be called friends and worthy of deep friendship. One is Cui Zongzhi, and the other is Bai Yuxian in front of him.

Especially Bai Yuxian, the first person he met when he first came to Chang'an was Bai Yuxian. Then on the night of the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival a month ago, Bai Yuxian did not dislike his identity as the son of a businessman and took him to Tianxiang Tower with him, giving him the opportunity to get to know him. When it comes to Cui Zongzhi and others, it was also that night when he had a poem battle with Bai Yuxian that made him famous in Chang'an.

It can be said that Bai Yuxian was not only a close friend to Li Bai, but also a certain amount of support.

Therefore, Li Bai cherished and was grateful to Bai Yuxian as his friend.

Before Bai Yuxian could say anything more, he was pulled into the car by Li Bai.

Then he was pulled by Li Bai and went straight to Tianxiang Tower.

"I heard that Brother Bai has been specializing in calligraphy and painting recently. I happened to have met two friends in the past few days. They are people who are proficient in calligraphy and painting. I will introduce them to Brother Bai today. I believe Brother Bai will also like them."

"Oh, I don't know who it is."

"I believe Brother Bai must have heard their names, Zhang Xu and Wu Daozi."

Grass Saint Zhang Xu.

Painting sage Wu Daozi.

Bai Yuxian was shocked, she didn't expect it to be these two people.

Then I felt happy.

To him, it was like someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep.

He was still thinking that if he could find one or two calligraphy and painting people to exchange ideas with, he might be able to obtain the [Zen Heart] destiny faster.

As a result, Li Bai found two of them for him.

"It turns out it's Zhang Changshi and the Wu family. They've heard about their names for a long time."

Zhang Xu is now known as Zhang Changshi because he served successively as the chief historian of Zuo Led Mansion and the chief historian of Jinwu after he became an official.

Wu Daozi is now a doctor of internal medicine in the court. He is famous for his paintings and is known as the Wu family.

Later, through talking with Li Bai, Bai Yuxian also learned that Zhang Xu was a good drinker, so he got acquainted with Li Bai, and Wu Daozi was now asking Zhang Xu for calligraphy lessons, so Li Bai also got acquainted with Wu Daozi because of Zhang Xu.

"Oh, Mr. Bai, I'm a rare visitor. You haven't been here for a long time. Hong Xiu has been thinking about you recently."

Not long after, Li Bai came to Tianxiang Tower.

Seeing Bai Yuxian arriving, Zhang's mother, who was in charge of picking up the guests, immediately brightened up and hurriedly came up to greet her warmly.

"I'll ask someone to notify Hongxiu for you." He then added.

Regarding the matter of Bai Yuxian and Liu Hongxiu, it has naturally been spread in Tianxiang Tower for a long time.

Everyone knew that Bai Yuxian spent the night at Liu Hongxiu's place during the New Year's Eve Poetry Festival, and had already expressed his intention to redeem Liu Hongxiu's life and marry Liu Hongxiu in the future.

For this reason, many people in Tianxiang Tower were envious of Liu Hongxiu.

Zhang's mother, who is responsible for entertaining guests at Tianxiang Tower, naturally knows everything about it.

"No, I will go to Hongxiu's place by myself after drinking in the evening."

Bai Yuxian smiled and said.

Although his relationship with Liu Hongxiu has been made public now, he has no intention of asking Liu Hongxiu to come out and accompany him when gathering with friends.

If you want to accompany me, you must go alone.

"Okay, then I'll tell Hong Xiu to wait for you in the room tonight, Mr. Bai."
