Jiang Yuanchen kept his concentration and finished the green bamboo painting in one go, then went to Jinquan Pavilion to present it to Elder Sikong for review. At this time, several bamboo paintings were placed in front of Elder Sikong. Except for one of them, which was a decent ink bamboo painting, the other bamboo paintings were all painted down by Elder Sikong. Either the ink painting is intermittent and distorted, or the bamboo marks on the painted bamboo leaves are inconsistent with the green bamboo potted plants.

Sikong Changming took a look at Jiang Yuanchen's green bamboo painting and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Your painting skills are getting better and better. If you come to the mortal world, you can become a famous painter of the generation."

The green bamboo painted by Jiang Yuanchen is lifelike and exactly the same as the bonsai beside Sikong Changming. It has more artistic conception than the qualified work just now.

Jiang Yuanchen smiled modestly and waited for Sikong Changming's judgment results.

Of course he has good painting skills, otherwise wouldn’t the decades in the dream be illusory? Jiang Yuanchen thought secretly in his heart.

Jiang Yuanchen has a rather secret matter buried deep in his heart. When he was seven years old, he met a fairy because of his playfulness with butterflies. When he caught the colorful butterfly, he fell asleep for three days and three nights without waking up.

While sleeping, Jiang Yuanchen seemed to have come to another world, where he experienced birth, old age, illness, and death. Even the reason why he decided to become an immortal was because of this great dream journey.

The two worlds are very different. The other world is bustling with traffic and has tall skyscrapers. Even the sun, moon, stars, geographical environment, and civilization system of that world are also very different from this vast land of China. But there are many similarities between the two worlds. For example, during a certain period in the history of that world, its humanistic style and clothing were quite similar to those of Shenzhou Haotou. Even the ink paintings of Shenzhou Haotou can be copied from it. That world found the same skill in painting. The reason why Jiang Yuanchen appears to be quite precocious and even quite accomplished in painting skills is entirely due to his sleepwalking in that world.

Which one is a dream and which one is real? Is the Dream Butterfly World fake, or am I still in the Dream Butterfly World? Even Jiang Yuanchen now has a hard time figuring it out. After waking up from the dream on the first three days, Jiang Yuanchen was in a state of confusion and was sent directly to the nearby Taixu Taoist Temple for treatment by his family, which gave him the idea of ​​becoming an immortal. The original purpose of Jiang Yuanchen's question was to find the "truth".

Fortunately, decades of experience in the dream made Jiang Yuanchen quite mature. He understood that such things should not be said in vain, so he did not tell others, but excused himself that he had only slept for three days and three nights.

Because there are many demons and spirits in the vast land of Shenzhou, the temple owner of Taixu Taoist Temple just thought that Jiang Yuanchen was like this, and unknowingly offended a demon and was teased, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuanchen often went to Taixu Taoist Temple to seek advice from the Taoist master because he had the desire to seek immortality. It was under the leadership of this temple master that he was admitted to the outer sect of Taixu Taoist Sect at the age of ten.

"Is it related to the morning dew? It seems to be an illusion?" Sikong Changming compared the two qualified works. Although the painting by the disciple just now was considered qualified, it seemed quite satisfactory and rigid compared to Jiang Yuanchen's painting. Less angry.

"Not bad!" Jiang Yuanchen said proudly: "The disciple painted a few more drops of morning dew on the green bamboo, and laid out an illusion array according to the pattern of Miluo's Little Illusion Array, which gave others more vitality when viewing the painting. .”

It's a good idea to use illusions to infect the viewer's mood, but it's a pity that this little trick is of little use to a Golden Elixir monk like him. Elder Sikong thought to himself, but it is rare for this man to deliberately capture a ray of vitality on the green bamboo potted plant and express it through illusion. If he goes a step further, he may be able to enter Taoism through painting.

To be fair, Sikong Changming's topic today is just a test of attention and concentration. He only needs to completely depict the green bamboo according to Sikong Changming's potted plant. But according to the description, there is a lot of room for development. Should we describe the shape of the green bamboo and describe the veins of each bamboo leaf on the green bamboo one by one, or should we capture the vibrant artistic conception within it?

Although those few morning dews are not all on the green bamboo, it goes without saying that Jiang Yuanchen's ability to capture the artistic conception of the green bamboo is better than the first qualified work.

"Okay, would you like to come and take a seat?" Sikong Changming pointed to the futon next to Shen Pingcheng.

Since there were only three places to ask today, Elder Sikong only prepared three futons opposite him. The one on the left is Shen Pingcheng, who is sitting upright. After looking at it, Jiang Yuanchen also walked to the middle seat.

It was just a matter of using the front and back legs, and another young man came forward with a bamboo painting. The young man's name is Shen Yan, with a stern face and a thin body. He came to the mountain gate at the age of nine and is only one year younger than Jiang Yuanchen, but his cultivation has steadily entered the realm of nourishing qi.

Elder Sikong looked unhappy after seeing the bamboo painting, and when Jiang Yuanchen glanced at the scroll with his peripheral vision, he also had a strange look on his face.

"Isn't this painter too bad?" Jiang Yuanchen was also a master of calligraphy and painting in the dream world. Of course, he could see the difference in his painting skills. That's right, Shen Yan prefers killing swordsmanship, and naturally knows nothing about this skill.

"Elder, I'm offended!" Shen Yan apologized to Elder Sikong and directly took the brush in his hand and scratched the potted plant in front of Elder Sikong.

Elder Sikong moved his fingers slightly, but seemed to have thought of something and did not move. Jiang Yuanchen suddenly realized what he was doing when he saw Shen Yan's actions. He stared at his bamboo painting and the potted plant back and forth. But when Shen Pingcheng saw this situation, he directly scolded Shen Yan: "What crime do you deserve for practicing swordsmanship in front of the elders?"

Although both of them have the surname Shen, this is just a coincidence, and they are not the same family.

Shen Yan said nothing, and after cutting the green bamboo potted plant, she stood aside.

Seeing that Shen Pingcheng was still about to speak, Jiang Yuanchen stopped him: "Senior Brother Shen, Elder Sikong hasn't spoken yet, please don't go overboard."

As his name suggests, Shen Pingcheng is an honest and honest man, so the painting he painted is also quite satisfactory. It is not as accomplished and talented as Jiang Yuanchen in calligraphy and painting, nor is it as original as Shen Yan's eccentric swordsmanship. Instead, he carefully paints and paints. The branches and veins on the green bamboo were copied one by one from calligraphy and painting, so Elder Sikong commented that his paintings were dull, mediocre and lifeless.

"What do the elders think of Junior Brother Shen Yan's actions?" Jiang Yuanchen had come here several times and asked. He was also familiar with Elder Sikong. After understanding the elder's temper, he asked directly.

"What do you think?" Sikong Changming asked Jiang Yuanchen, pointing to the now bare potted plant.

"The sky and the earth are destroyed, and the only way to survive is to fight for life with a sword." Jiang Yuanchen said with a smile: "Junior Brother Shen Yan knew that he was not good at painting and could not completely depict the green bamboo, so he simply did not draw a leaf and only painted a bamboo trunk. Then he came over and pulled off the leaves on the potted plants one by one. Although the method is extreme, isn't the 'bamboo painting' he made exactly the same as the current green bamboo potted plants?"

Even the main stem of Shen Yan's bamboo painting was crooked, so he also cut the diameter-diameter green bamboo stem in front of him into a twisted shape.

Elder Sikong looked at the lifeless green bamboo and remained silent. Flexibility, similar to what Shen Yan is doing now, has not happened before. Even Jiang Yuanchen and Li Wen have done similar things before. He used small tricks to deceive others, and finally got a quota for questioning. After all, the road to immortality is bumpy, and if you don’t know how to adapt, you won’t be able to go very far.

Elder Sikong knocked on his jade chime and shouted to the disciples outside the pavilion: "Now the three quotas have been filled. Come back tomorrow."

The disciples paused for a moment, then sighed and raised their brushes horizontally before bowing and leaving.

"It's been another day in vain. It looks like we have to get up early tomorrow."

"It's a pity that the time when Jinquan Wenwen started happened to be when Lingxia Qi collection was finished. It seems that tomorrow I can only learn from Senior Brother Shen, get up early and rush over to wait, and put down the homework of Qi collection for the time being."

"But that guy Shen Yan is quite ruthless. Are you really not afraid of hurting Elder Sikong?"

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Jiang's painting skills are the most advanced. He can actually capture the artistic conception?"

In twos and threes, many outer disciples started talking while going down the mountain to work.

Because the time for Jinquan's questions is available every day, they are not too anxious. In addition, most of their questions are similar. It only takes one person to ask and a large group of people can benefit. It's like looking for tokens. For this category of questions, the number of people has a great advantage. This time, they didn't have much hope for the question that tested their painting ability.

After Jiang Yuanchen saw the disciples leaving, he asked Elder Sikong for instructions, then left the pavilion and packed away the pen and ink desks of many disciples.

Pretending to be smart and good, Jiang Yuanchen certainly knew how to please his elders after experiencing a different life in his dream.

While Jiang Yuanchen was busy, Shen Pingcheng had already finished asking the cultivation questions he wanted to ask, and got up directly and went down the mountain to continue practicing. Before leaving, Shen Pingcheng looked at Jiang Yuanchen strangely. No wonder the elders like this junior brother. His courtesy as a governor alone makes him much better than those young boys. Maybe I should be more respectful to those elders in the future?

When Jiang Yuanchen returned to the futon, Elder Sikong was explaining some issues about kendo to Shen Yan.

Because they are outer disciples, it is impossible for Taixu Dao Sect to teach the real immortal swordsmanship to outsiders. Therefore, the swordsmanship of the outer disciples association only has three sets of "Qingfeng Demon Sword", "Mingguang Demon Slaying Sword" and "April Moon Lingkong Sword". ". These three sets of sword techniques are enough for many outer sect disciples to use when traveling outside. They are also disassembled from a set of inner sect sword techniques. They can be said to be compulsory courses for outer sect disciples.

However, the swordsmanship questions asked by Shen Yan had some hints of fairy swordsmanship. Jiang Yuanchen was not very proficient in swordsmanship. The three sets of swordsmanship were only used to show the moves. He only had a partial understanding of the swordsmanship skills while listening to them.

However, Elder Sikong seemed to notice that Jiang Yuanchen was confused, so he turned to say: "The three swordsmanship passed down by the outer sect is the dismantling of the inner sect's swordsmanship 'Mingyue Lingfeng Sword'. Shen Yan, your preference for swordsmanship can be used from now on." Comprehending a little bit of the innate sword intention will also be of great help to you in building your foundation in the future."

Elder Sikong condensed the two index fingers of his right hand into sword energy, and demonstrated three sets of sword techniques one by one in front of the two of them. Finally, the three different sets of sword techniques suddenly merged into one place, and another sword technique was performed. The sword energy shot into the bamboo forest not far away and directly cut off a row of green bamboos in the bamboo forest.

"Okay! This Xian family swordsmanship is beyond your comprehension at the moment, so go down first." After demonstrating the starting position of Mingyue Lingfeng Sword, Elder Sikong gave Shen Yan an order to expel him.

Shen Yan was eccentric and taciturn. He bowed his hands to the elder and stood up to leave, leaving only Jiang Yuanchen who was thinking about the sword style. Although he didn't understand the swordsmanship skills, he was very good at artistic conception. He could feel the piercing cold moon artistic conception contained in the sword energy. This was what Sikong Changming deliberately reminded him.
