Chapter 260

Woof, woof——

The local dog squatted at his feet and barked at Li shepherd.

Shouting and shouting, the body became weaker and weaker, the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely.

After all, it was just an illusion, not really dragging the local dog into reality.

Li shepherd's eyes turned to the picture scroll and found that the local dog by the stream pool had disappeared. That piece looks empty, like the painter's clumsy blank.

Even when he was in the peach blossom dock, he had witnessed the wonder that Gu desolate could make the peach blossoms in the dock bloom with a wisp of spring breeze, but when the local dog appeared in front of him, Li shepherd still felt stunned and uncontrollable.

Even if you see such a picture a hundred times, you will be surprised.

Immortals can "turn stone into gold", while talented painters can point ink to revive the scenery in the painting - the latter is even more forced.

"Master Gu, this is --" Li shepherd looked at Gu desolate excitedly and asked aloud.

"There is true meaning in the painting. What is the true meaning in your painting?" Gu barren interrupted Li shepherd and asked aloud.

Li shepherd finally woke up and sorted out his mind, but he didn't speak out.

Pondering for a moment, he said, "words are the voice of the heart, and paintings are human mirrors."

"Wonderful." Gu Huangwu finally affirmed Li shepherd's answer and said, "speak what you think and draw what people feel as a mirror. What people think is what they draw. No fake. "

Li shepherd giggled. It seems that he passed the test and will be accepted as an apprentice by master Gu.

"Speak up, don't feel embarrassed, I'll think about it carefully -" Li shepherd thought in his heart.

"What's the meaning of the word?"

Li shepherd was stunned and said, "meaning?"

The teacher doesn't play cards according to common sense at all. You may scare the apprentice away if you have too many questions.

"True meaning."

Li shepherd thought longer this time and said, "what do you mean? The theme that the painter wants to express? "

"It can be meaning, meaning or spirit -" Gu Huangwu put his brush on the Shuo stage and said aloud, "have you heard the story of the magic pen Ma Liang?"

Li shepherd held back his smile and said, "master Gu, this story is well known to women and children."

In ancient times, there was a painter named Ma Liang. His parents died early and made a living by gathering firewood and mowing grass. He liked to learn painting since childhood, but he didn't even have a pen. One day, he walked past the gate of a school and saw the county magistrate in the Yamen drawing with a pen. He went in unconsciously and said to the master that I wanted to learn painting very much. Could you lend me a pen?

The magistrate glared at him, "bah!" Spit on his face and scold, "the poor boy wants to take a pen and learn painting? you must be dreaming. Then he kicked him out of the gate. Ma Liang is an ambitious child. He said: I don't believe it. Why can't poor children even learn painting. From then on, he made up his mind to learn painting and practiced hard every day. When he went to the mountain to collect firewood, he broke a branch and learned to draw birds in the sand. When he went to the river to cut grass, he dipped grass roots in the river and painted swimming fish on the bank stones. In the evening, when I got home, I took a piece of charcoal and painted the things painted during the day one by one on the wall of the cave. He learned to draw without a pen.

Year after year, Ma Liangxue's paintings never stopped. The walls of his cave are covered with overlapping paintings, all of which are painted. Of course, the progress is also very fast. It's really that the painted bird can't cry and the painted fish can't swim. Once, he drew a little hen at the entrance of the village, and eagles circled over the entrance of the village all day. Once, he drew a black wolf behind the mountain, so that cattle and sheep were afraid to eat grass behind the mountain.

Later, Ma Liang became more and more famous. The county magistrate heard the news and sent someone to seize his magic pen. As a result, Ma Liang painted cranes and sails. All the paintings can be realized. The loser boy finally counter attacks and becomes a winner in life, which is praised by the world.

When Li shepherd was young, whenever he felt pain and couldn't sleep, his mother Luo Qi and his father Li Yan would take turns to watch the night, and then tell him stories one by one until his body temperature dropped down and he fell asleep slowly - at that time, his parents would tell him this story countless times.

Like other children, Li shepherd always asks such a question at the end of the story: where did Ma Liang go at last?

It's hard for parents to answer this question clearly. He only said that he went far away, but he painted for those in need.

"I really miss my father, mother and Li," Li shepherd thought in his heart.

However, it is only a myth, a legend. It's an untrue story.

Gu Shi asked him this question at this time. What does it mean?

"Have you ever thought that Ma Liang didn't get grandpa white beard's magic pen at all, but only because he dreamed, drew into the Tao and broke the environment with meaning, so he had the magic power of turning stone into gold?"

Li shepherd was stunned and said, "master Gu, that -- it's just a legend."

"Who told you it was a legend?"

"That's what everyone says." Gu desolate sneered and said, "there are many ignorant people in the world. Ma Liang is a master of Mohism. He is a strong man who can travel through the stars. The world only focused on his dream that Grandpa white beard was given a magic pen, but he didn't see his diligence and hard work of collecting firewood in the mountains, painting birds with branches, cutting birds in the river and depicting fish with grass roots. Are there still few such talented people who have worked hard for many years and broken the road overnight? "“ Li Qiubai and Du Ruofu both entered the Tao with poems. When they made good poems that have been handed down for thousands of years, they were born with a strange image. It makes people feel fragrant and lingering in a hundred miles. In fact, they are the same characters as Ma Liang. It's just that everyone's breakthrough points are different. " Li shepherd was as numb as a chicken. Although he couldn't believe what guru said, he couldn't believe that the protagonist of the folk story, Ma Liang, was an expert in painting and could eventually become a strong star in the sky - however, he didn't know what was going on, and he vaguely felt that he was right. Besides, Li Qiubai and Du Ruofu really broke the Tao with poetry, and broke the realm with poetry. They broke the nine sky overnight, and became the strong stars that the world looked up to. This is a real precedent“ Your painting already has the true meaning. Of course, the true meaning only refers to meaning and meaning. " Gu Huangwu is very satisfied with Li shepherd's performance. He thought he couldn't suppress you“ Today, I will teach you the method of Qi. Enter the Tao with painting and break the environment with meaning.
