Chapter 87: The Finishing Touch

Today's golden toad was obviously tired of playing and running, and after explaining, he directly turned into golden light and went to sleep in the silk forging.

The city is full of incense? Chenghuang may not have this treatment, right? Would the city god be to blame if he found out? Wan Sheng was so happy that he didn't know how to adapt. The mother-in-law doesn't know what to do, so she can only ask Sister Xiaozhuo about this matter.

After eating, Wan Sheng began to make up for the embroidery homework that was poisoned last night. Last time, Wansheng stared at the embroidery cloth after comprehending the eye of the sky, trying to "look at the mountain is not a mountain, and see the water is not water", but he didn't see why. And this time, the three souls of Wansheng are in place, and there are black and white instruments inside, what will this cloth look like?

It was still the same cloth, and I didn't even see the whereabouts of the golden toad. This made Wansheng both disappointed and relieved. The loss is that it is nothing more than becoming an immortal. Rest assured, Jin Toad is so well hidden, there is no need to worry about others finding out.

So Wansheng didn't think much about it, and began to start work at a "mountain stone" position that was not completed the day before yesterday, but at the moment when Wansheng twisted the needle and thread, Wansheng suddenly had a strange feeling, Wansheng suddenly dispelled the idea of getting a needle, and a strange feeling told himself that he couldn't put a needle in this position, but should be in - where?

Wansheng was instantly at a loss! What's going on?

Wan Sheng looked at the needle and thread in his hand, and the feeling of being very confident that he could throw the needle and thread accurately arose. Of course, Wan Sheng knew that his earth soul had returned to its place, and the "rain in the sky" mental method comprehended in the earth soul had also returned to its place. This is the first time I have embroidered with a heart, and of course it feels different from usual?

Wan Sheng hurriedly called his mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, I have encountered a new situation......

After listening to Wan Sheng's statement, the mother-in-law was amazed: "Child, you have entered the realm of the grandmaster with one foot, and you are still half a step away from the grandmaster!" The reason why you have the feeling that you can't get a needle is because as a half-step grandmaster, you know that the needle here is wrong, it's the next embroidery method! ”

Wan Sheng said happily: "I'm a half-step grandmaster? ”

Then he exclaimed: "What I embroidered before was all inferior embroidery?" ”

The mother-in-law shook her head and smiled: "What do you say?" It can't be said to be inferior, it can only be said that what you showed before is basic...... In this way, my mother-in-law will tell you a finishing story! This is the story of Emperor Wu of Liang's royal painter Zhang Seng Miao in the Liang Dynasty, Miss Xiao Zhuo happened to be in that era, she must know this person, because Emperor Wu of Liang repaired the temple, basically all the big temples that were completed would let him paint. ”

Sister Xiao Zhuo's time? Wan Sheng immediately came interested and listened.

Mother-in-law said: "Once, this monk was ordered by Emperor Wu of Liang to paint four golden dragons for the newly completed Anle Temple, Zhang Seng Miao painted it in three days, everyone ran to watch, all praised the painting is good, just like the real thing, but when I got closer, I found that these four golden dragons had no eyes, and they all asked him to draw the dragon's eye, and he said that as long as I painted the dragon's eye, the dragon will live and will fly." Others don't believe it, and they all say that it is a semi-finished product that has not been painted, and it cannot be counted as wages. As a last resort, Zhang Seng Miao painted the eyes of the two golden dragons - guess? ”

Wan Sheng exclaimed: "Alive? ”

The mother-in-law sighed: "Alive! The sky was full of dark clouds, the wind and thunder were raging, and a lightning bolt came down and smashed the wall, and these two golden dragons broke through the wall and flew into the air! ”

Wan Sheng was stunned on the spot: "What happened later? ”

The mother-in-law sighed: "Later, I didn't know, of course, such a big thing happened by Emperor Wu of Liang to block the temple, and there was no news in the future, and even to future generations, the descendants could not find the location of Anle Temple, and they didn't know the whereabouts of the two golden dragons on the remaining wall." ”

Wan Sheng's brows jumped wildly when he heard this, and his heart was fascinated: "This monk must be a painting saint who can be as famous as the book saint Wang Xizhi, right?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled: "It seems that it is still a little close, after all, it is not canonized, but it is not trivial." In short, what you embroidered before is painting dragons, you only need the basic skills that ordinary people will know, and all you need to do is to find the 'finishing touch'! ”

Wan Sheng exclaimed: "How do I find the finishing touch?" ”

The mother-in-law sighed, "I don't know either. Now that you're a half-step master, you already know where you can't draw, so as long as you feel you can't draw, just don't draw it. ”

Wan Sheng nodded: "That is, I want to skip the homework that I didn't finish the day before yesterday and go to embroider something else?" ”

The mother-in-law smiled: "Probably yes, at your current level, it is useless to rush homework, what you need is enlightenment and inspiration." ”

"Got it."

So, Wansheng twisted the needle again, but looking at this piece of embroidered cloth, Wansheng still couldn't get the needle, although Wansheng decided to jump away from the mountain stone just now, but the embroidery other feeling is not suitable, anyway, the embroidery is not right!

Inspiration! Realize!

Wan Sheng began to stare at the embroidered cloth and meditate, but he couldn't find the feeling after staring at it for an hour, Wan Sheng's mood became more irritable, and Wan Sheng couldn't get a needle for this irritability.

The mother-in-law also felt heartache when she saw this: "Child, if you really can't do it, then go to sleep." ”

Wan Sheng smiled bitterly: "I slept all day, and now I am sleeping in good spirits." ”

At this moment, Jin Toad's croaking sounded: "You are always staring at the cloth, and I am also very irritable, do you still let me sleep well?" If it really doesn't work, you can embroider a toad. ”

Wan Sheng said angrily: "You can embroider phoenixes and swans, and you can't embroider toads!" ”

Jin Toad didn't say angrily: "Then you will embroider the phoenix swan!" ”

Wan Sheng cut off: "This is a tribute to the splendid country, how can it be embroidered?" ”

Jin Toad said angrily: "There are still thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains, but there are no people in thousands of miles, and there is no vitality at all." ”

The mother-in-law was stunned: "Angry? Maybe? ”

Wan Sheng was surprised: "What? ”

The mother-in-law looked moved and said: "No one stipulates that this brocade can't be embroidered with anything else, so it's better to embroider it personally?" ”

Wan Sheng was surprised: "Who is embroidering?" ”

Jin Toad smiled: "The beauty of the country, of course it is an embroidered beauty!" But no matter how good the beauty is, it is not as beautiful as a female toad in the eyes of a certain one, you can embroider a female toad, by the way, embroider a certain one, put it next to the female toad, and then embroider a gold mountain with gold thread under us, no, all the remaining mountains are embroidered with gold thread into a gold mountain, this is called a fortune and a thousand miles of gold mountain map......"

Wan Sheng suddenly realized: "I'll embroider Sister Xiaozhuo!" ”

The mother-in-law smiled: "Okay! The picture of the ladies of the country, I never knew what Miss Zhuo looked like, and I embroidered it just for me to see. ”

Wan Sheng said excitedly: "Yes, yes, Sister Xiaozhuo is a lady, I must embroider it for my mother-in-law!" ”

The mother-in-law did smile and said: "Have you been embroidering dragons and phoenixes, and embroidering ladies?" ”

Wan Sheng was at a loss.

The mother-in-law smiled: "So you don't need to embroider her, just embroider a skirt with an umbrella to cover the upper body, which can not only hide clumsy, but also embroider the artistic conception." ”

At such a moment, Wan Sheng suddenly blessed his heart: "I think the position of the mountain stone just now is just right to embroider Sister Xiao Zhuo in, and this position is just right to see the landscape!" ”

Mother-in-law Zhengse said: "Then do it according to your ideas, however, you rarely embroider ladies, you must be very attentive!" ”

Of course, Wansheng knows that this is not a waste cloth for himself to practice, and once something goes wrong, it will be terrible! Wan Sheng Zhengse said: "I know, I am not absolutely sure that I will not get the needle, mother-in-law go and rest." ”

So the following time is Wan Sheng staring at the position of the mountain stone, and recalling Xiao Zhuo's sister over and over again, although he still hasn't taken the needle for a long time, but his heart is indeed sweet and longing, and there is no sense of irritability.

And Jin Toad really couldn't stand it: "Can you not stare at me sleeping so squintingly?" You're staring at me all over my body, it's really not good, you let that female ghost stand in front of you with an umbrella and let you embroider! ”

As soon as the words fell, Sister Xiao Zhuo's voice sounded: "Which female ghost?" ”

(Note: Zhang Seng Xuan, a Liang painter of the Southern Dynasty, had a great influence on later generations, and the Tang Dynasty painter Wu Daozi was far from him)
