Painting objects, mountains, and water are all easy, but painting people is the most difficult.
People have thousands of faces. If any face is missing, the portrait will be unreal.
A doctor does not heal himself, and a painter does not paint himself.
Any master of painting never depicts his own appearance.
Because no one knows what their appearance looks like in the minds of others.
Treacherous perhaps?
Maybe cunning?
Maybe wise?
Maybe stupid?
…
Liu Wuxie didn't know what kind of person he was in the minds of everyone.
Does the picture he painted fit the image in everyone's mind?
If it doesn't fit, the painting has failed.
"Liu Wuxie actually painted himself. Is he crazy?"
The whole stage was in chaos, including the senior officials of the Yuan family.
They couldn't understand. Liu Wuxie was seeking death.
Jiang Yulang looked at the lotus with one petal missing, his expression gloomy and scary.
If he couldn't win against Liu Wuxie, he would have to destroy his cultivation in public.
For him, this was worse than killing him.
When he heard Liu Wuxie portraying himself, Jiang Yulang showed a hint of ecstasy on his face.
As long as he thought that the portrait was inconsistent with Liu Wuxie's image, he would win this level without a fight.
The immortal beasts who stood up gathered towards Liu Wuxie.
The monks sitting next to Liu Wuxie had no choice but to avoid him.
The space is limited and there are too many fairy beasts.
"Now for the painting review!"
Yuan Fengshan stepped forward and wanted to rate all the paintings.
By selecting some highly respected people and assisting in testing the immortal weapons, you can test to find out whose portrait is better.
The seniors who were responsible for evaluating the paintings intentionally put the paintings by Liu Wuxie, Jiang Yulang, Yuan Tianwei, and Caviar at the end.
At present, all four of them have hope of winning the first place.
After more than half an hour of evaluation, the quality of other people's portraits was average, and a dozen or so could reach the superior level.
The steward of the Yuan family moved Liu Wuxie and Jiang Yulang's easels together to make it easier to observe.
Liu Wuxie was lined up on the left, followed by Jiang Yulang, Yuan Tianwei, and Yu Zile.
"Let's look at Caviar's painting first. The subtlety of this painting is that the mountains and rivers overlap and moisten things silently. It is a rare and good painting and is priceless."
The elder of the Cangyun Sword Sect was the first to stand up and comment on Caviar's paintings.
"I agree with Elder Liu. If the full score is 100 points, I would give it 95 points. The only shortcoming is that the portrait lacks a sense of righteousness."
The elder of Jiguang Cave nodded and agreed with the elder of Cangyun Sword Sect.
After everyone scored, Caviar finally scored 96 points, which is very high.
Then, everyone looked at Yuan Tianwei's portrait.
"Miss Yuan's portrait is also good. The mountains are steep, the peaks are stacked on top of each other, and the rich and heavy atmosphere seems to be blowing through the painting paper. I can give it a score of ninety-four."
It was still the elder of the Cangyun Sword Sect who gave the first score, and the other elders followed closely behind and announced their scores.
The final average score was ninety-four, two points lower than Caviar.
If it can reach 90%, this painting has already established itself at the top of the Xianluo Realm.
The highest score given by others just now was only eighty points.
Everyone came to Jiang Yulang's painting and stood for a while. No one said a word, quietly looking at the lotus emerging from the water.
"It is worthy of the Wanxiang Yuxu technique. Each lotus leaf is covered with tiny laws. If you don't look carefully, you will think it is just an ordinary portrait. When the spiritual consciousness penetrates deep into it, a faint fragrance is released from the depths of the lotus. Refreshing."
Elder Liu of Cangyun Sword Sect clicked his tongue and said.
Among the three portraits, he commented the most on Jiang Yulang's portrait.
Although Caviar's paintings are good, I always feel that there is something missing.
They couldn't tell. Some said it was the spirit of righteousness, some said it was the spirit of Confucianism, and some said it lacked the laws of heaven.
There is no precise answer to what exactly is missing.
"It's really wonderful! At first glance, one of the lotus flowers is missing a petal. In fact, it is not the case. It is precisely because of the missing petal that the whole painting is more coordinated."
The elder of Tianwang City stroked his beard and admired Jiang Yulang's paintings.
"The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows. There is no perfect painting in this world. In fact, incomplete paintings are the most beautiful. I think this painting should score at least 99 points."
An old monk from the Blood Mist Temple stood up, clasped his hands, and expressed his views.
Jiang Yulang's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that his mistake would actually improve the overall level of the painting a lot.
If it were flawless, it would feel like the painting was too fake.
This is true whether it is the real world or the world in paintings.
Imperfection is the most perfect.
After everyone's deliberation, Jiang Yulang's painting finally scored ninety-eight points, surpassing Caviar's painting.
This score made the scene boil.
The senior members of the Yuan family didn't say anything. Putting aside other issues, Jiang Yulang's painting was indeed approaching the level of perfection.
Even if they wanted to stand up and defend themselves, they would be weak.
The group of people walked to Liu Wuxie's easel and looked at Liu Wuxie's portrait. Everyone fell into deep thought.
"Elder Liu, what do you say?"
The other elders of the sect were too embarrassed to speak first, so the elder of the Cangyun Sword Sect spoke first.
"It's hard to tell!"
Elder Liu shook his head. He couldn't explain. This portrait seemed ordinary, but it was extraordinary.
Call him ordinary, but he contains a mysterious power.
Call him extraordinary, he is just an ordinary picture that cannot be ordinary.
"But judging from the portrait, both the eyes and the expression are absolutely wonderful, and the character and personality are vividly portrayed."
In the end, the elders of Dongxing Island stood up first and gave their own evaluation.
"The eyes are powerful and the expression is resolute. I feel an indestructible power from the portrait. This is the power of faith."
The elder of Aurora Cave followed closely and expressed his thoughts.
The fairy beasts entrenched around them couldn't hold back any longer, and kept pushing forward, trying to get closer.
What is the mystery hidden in Liu Wuxie's painting that makes these fairy beasts and birds reluctant to leave?
Everyone is afraid of saying something wrong. When everyone expresses their thoughts, they all give mixed reviews. No matter what the outcome is, there is always room for maneuver.
It's like kicking a ball, everyone refuses to give the final score, letting others score first.
finally!
Everyone's eyes still fell on the face of Elder Liu of Cangyun Sword Sect, asking him to rate first.
He scores high and most people will probably follow suit.
If he scores low, others will follow suit.
"Wuxie, can you tell us the mystery of this painting?"
Elder Liu has lived for almost ten thousand years and is a mature man. How could he not know that these people set a trap for him?
If he says something wrong, he will be the one to laugh at it.
Liu Wuxie glanced at everyone, a hint of disappointment flashed deep in his eyes.
It seems to be saying: "Your level of painting criticism is too low."
Although Liu Wuxie said nothing, his eyes said everything.
Elder Kong and Elder Xia Ru remained silent. They were elders of Baguio Palace, so of course they couldn't stand up and comment.
Since Elder Liu asked, Liu Wuxie naturally found it difficult to refuse.
Picking up the portrait, he flipped the portrait up and down in front of everyone.
It was head up just now, and turned into head down.
The moment the portrait was turned upside down, the entire pattern on the drawing paper changed drastically.
"Hiss!"
Countless gasps of cold air sounded around, including the old antiques from various sects standing in front of the portrait.
"It's a portrait, but it's a painting. How did he do it?"
The elder of Aurora Cave had a look of shock on his face, and the expression on his face changed countless times in just a short moment.
The other elders of the sect were also similar. They couldn't believe that if the portrait was transferred, it could turn into another painting.
Everyone thought it was just an ordinary portrait.
This is not the case.
A painting is a painting, like a likeness.
Together they form a portrait.
Looking at the world, only today's painting saints can combine portraits.
Whether it's Jiang Yulang's paintings or Caviar's paintings, what they painted can only be called paintings. It cannot be called a portrait.
Because the portrait is a combination of the two.
Painting refers to landscapes and objects.
And images refer to people, and all living creatures are called images, including fairy beasts.
"What an exquisite mountain map, as if the whole world is connected together."
After being transferred, a towering mountain peak appeared in front of everyone.
A touch of awe-inspiring righteousness echoed through the drawing paper over the martial arts arena for a long time.
"What a powerful force. I have never seen a mountain give people such a heavy sense of oppression."
More and more monks crowded together with the immortal beasts to watch Liu Wuxie's portrait.
"This is the power of faith. My Taoist heart is actually stronger than before."
Elder Liu, who was standing in front of the portrait, had a look of disbelief on his face.
He found that after observing this mountain peak, his Taoist mind became more perfect.
"Exactly, it's just an image instead of a painting. It's just opportunistic. What we are discussing today is whose painting skills are better."
The elder of the White Crane Sect made a scornful sound.
He was not included in the comments. He stood not far away, and his mocking voice spread throughout the martial arts arena.
Judging from the quality of the portrait alone, Liu Wuxie's painting is indeed not as good as the other three.
After experiencing the example just now, no one dares to jump to conclusions.
To avoid being slapped in the face again.
After the elder of the White Crane Sect finished speaking, many people around him started mocking him.
As for whether Liu Wuxie's paintings are good or not, I don't care too much.
After all, most of them are ordinary people, and they care more about excitement and results.
Liu Wuxie picked up the portrait and turned it in another direction, this time with the left side facing up.
When the portrait returned to the easel, the surroundings suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Senior members of the Yuan family, you look at me, and I look at you.
"Tao follows nature!"
Elder Liu staggered and let out a cry of surprise.
After Liu Wuxie turned the portrait side up, four words appeared on the paper.
The four words were like a ball of mysterious energy, sweeping out from the drawing paper.
The first person to bear the burden is the elder of the White Crane Sect. This is the vast righteousness that leads to the imperial way.
"boom!"
The elder of the White Crane Sect seemed to have been hit by some force in the chest, and his body flew backwards.
This scene shocked countless people. The portrait took the initiative to attack, which was simply unbelievable.
Up, down, and left, the pictures seen from three directions are completely different, completely subverting everyone's perception.
