In the painting, a Taoist priest rides a young man, facing the setting sun and white clouds, riding into the distance.
The strokes on the scroll are quite simple, not very complicated, but extremely subtle. Just a few strokes outline a high, leisurely, and carefree artistic conception.
There are white clouds, but you can see leisurely;
The setting sun sets in the west, and there is no desolation;
Green mountains and green waters, harmonious nature;
The immortal rides and is at ease;
The entire painting features white clouds, setting sun, green mountains and green waters, and Taoist and green cattle. If one part is too large, it will be complicated and if it is too small, it will be desolate. They are perfectly blended together.
A painting is a world.
"The white clouds are slowly setting, the sun is setting, and the immortal is riding an ox across the green mountains. Could this be a picture of an immortal riding an ox across the green mountains?"
While everyone was immersed in the artistic conception of the scroll, Kitata on the treasure viewing platform suddenly exclaimed: "How is it possible? This is impossible?"
"It does look very much like the legendary painting of an immortal riding a bull across the green mountains." Bai Gongzi, who had not spoken since the beginning of the treasure appreciation party, looked up at the scroll at some point and said.
"What about an immortal riding a bull? What about crossing the green mountains? Xiduoduo. Is there anything special about this painting?" Ancestor Qingmu asked doubtfully.
After hearing Ancestor Aoki's question, Kitado came back to his senses, but instead of answering directly, he asked: "I wonder if Ancestor has ever heard of Li Qingniu?"
"Li Qingniu, who is it?" Ancestor Qingmu frowned.
"What about Li Wangxian?" Xidoduo asked again.
"Li Wangxian? The famous Taoist invincible Li Wangxian thousands of years ago?" Ancestor Qingmu asked: "Who doesn't know this?"
"Li Qingniu is Li Wangxian, and the picture of the Immortal Riding a Bull Crossing the Green Mountains is exactly the work of Li Wangxian." Xitao said.
"What? You said this painting was painted by Li Wangxian?!" As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar, which was even worse than the shock Wen Liangzhu gave them before.
Who is Li Wangxian?
That was a more legendary figure than Demon Lord Lihentian.
Li Wangxian was born in the Zhenwu Sect, one of the three Taoist sects, and was the youngest disciple of the Lotus Peak headmaster of the Zhenwu Sect at that time.
Unlike the demon king Lihentian who was born out of nowhere, Li Wangxian was extremely talented since he was a child. He was born with all-knowing knowledge and a bright mind. He read Taoist scriptures at the age of three, understood the meaning of the scriptures at the age of five, and was said to be invincible in Taoism at the age of ten. Around him, even Master Xuanqing Daomiao, the master of Sanqing Hall in East Kunlun, who is known as the ancestral place of Taoism and is known as the Taoist Master of the world, also said that Li Wangxian said: "Only one path of Taoism, five hundred years before and after, no one If you can get out of their left and right, I will be out of reach."
This was just what Master Xuanqing Daomiao said after Li Wangxian went to East Kunlun alone when he was ten years old to preach and debate scriptures with Master Xuanqing Daomiao.
Due to the words of Master Xuanqing Daomiao, Li Wangxian was called the Invincible Taoist by the world, which means that Li Wangxian was invincible in the world based on his understanding of Taoism.
In Taoism, Li Wangxian is invincible in the world. However, in martial arts, Li Wangxian has no talent at all. He only has the simplest method of tempering the body and condensing Qi. It took Li Wangxian more than ten years of hard work to achieve some success.
In order to improve Li Wangxian's martial arts realm, the Zhenwu Sect has worked very hard, including cleansing the scriptures and marrow, and instilling the true meaning, using heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and magical elixirs. However, even so, Li Wangxian's martial arts progress is extremely slow.
For any one person, with the guidance of so many famous teachers and so many cultivation resources, he dare not say that he is invincible among his peers, at least he is not bad, but when he comes to Li Wangxian, he is like a drop of water like a vast ocean, without any ripples.
He was so angry that the leader of the Zhenwu Sect and the contemporary emperor of subduing demons pointed at Li Wangxian and yelled: "With so many cultivation resources, even a pig can become a peerless master, but you, Li Wangxian, are just stubborn and can't figure it out, even a pig." Worse than anything else.”
Li Wangxian, on the other hand, didn't care about this and took a very open-minded view. He believed that those who could practice martial arts were better, and those who couldn't practice martial arts were better. In this way, he could concentrate on studying the Taoist scriptures.
From then on, Li Wangxian became less interested in martial arts training.
In this regard, Master Zhenwu had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
In the next ten years or so, everyone of Li Wangxian's generation has become famous in the world, but Li Wangxian is still studying the Taoist scriptures at Lianhua Peak, and gradually disappears from the public. The world only hears about the Five Thunder True Monarch of Tianshi Mansion. , Haoyuan Daozi of Sanqing Palace, but did not hear about Li Wangxian, who was unparalleled in his grace at that time.
At that time, the demonic path was strong and the righteous path was declining. The Demon Lord of the Demon Mountain used his supreme power to unite the nine evil paths and the thirty-six left paths to cause chaos in the world.
The two Buddhist temples, the three Taoist sects, and the five Xuanmen sects could not bear the chaos and disorder in the world and the chaos of demons, so they made an appointment with the demon lord to fight at Butian Peak.
However, the devil's power was so great that he used one enemy to defeat many, smashing the golden bodies of the two major Buddhas in Buddhism, severely injuring the leaders of three sects, and forcing the five sects of Taoism to close the mountain gate.
For a time, the power of the devil was unparalleled, and the world was in turmoil.
The Demon Lord took advantage of the situation and entered the True Wuzong with the intention of destroying the True Wuzong.
At that time, the leader of Zhenwu was seriously injured, and the guardian elders betrayed him. For a while, the whole group was leaderless, and the sect was about to be destroyed.
Li Wangxian, who was at Lianhua Peak, heard the news and went out of the mountain.
Everyone in the Zhenwu Sect felt that Li Wangxian was committing suicide and tried to dissuade him.
But Li Wangxian smiled and said: "In the past, there was a Taoist ancestor who rode an ox across the Han Valley and blocked the demons alone. Today, there is also Li Wangxian who came out of the peak and defeated the demons alone."
Everyone thought Li Wangxian was crazy, but Master Zhenwu laughed loudly when he saw it.
Li Wangxian held Taoist scriptures in his hands, rode an ox down the mountain, came out of the peak and condensed his Yin spirit, passed the mountain gate and became a master, and reached the foot of the mountain and became a saint.
Breaking the demon formation with one palm, driving away the demons with one word, fighting against the demon lord and the ninth level of the outer world.
In this battle, the nine heavens split, chaos opened, and the heaven and earth became dim.
In the end, no one knows the victory or defeat. They only know that after the battle, the demon lord returned to the magic mountain and was unable to escape. The demonic dragons were leaderless, and the natural tree fell and the hozens dispersed. The righteous path took advantage of the situation and worked hard to eliminate the demons and return the world to a bright and prosperous world.
Afterwards, Li Wangxian rode an ox down the mountain, one step at a time, one scene at a time, and entered the rivers and lakes to become a saint, which became the eternal masterpiece of the spring and autumn rivers and lakes.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been thousands of romantic affairs, and I hope that the immortal will bloom, starting from the green ox.
Li Wangxian was also the youngest saint of that era, far behind his peers.
After Li Wangxian achieved success, he still liked to read Taoist scriptures, was careless and went his own way.
After the Master Zhenwu emerged, he was passed down to Li Wangxian. Three years after Li Wangxian took over the seal, he left with the seal, imitating the Taoist ancestors of the past, riding an ox westward, passing Han Valley, and opening the way to heaven.
In the past, the Taoist ancestor rode a green ox out of the Han Valley. Purple air came eighty thousand miles from the east, and the demons fell like heavy rain;
Today, Li Wangxian rides a green bull and passes through the Han Valley. The eternal sound of the sky is heard, and the nine-fold cloud reaches the sky. The gate of heaven opens. Li Wangxian rides a bull and ascends to the sky, never to enter the human world again.
Therefore, in terms of reputation alone, Li Wangxian is undoubtedly more legendary and more widely known than Lihentian.
Therefore, everyone was shocked when they learned that this painting was made by Li Wangxian.
"I'm just saying it's possible."
Xidoduo said: "According to legend, when Li Wangxian left Hangu in the west and ascended to heaven, he used his hand as a pen to draw a picture to leave a legacy to future generations. This is the picture of an immortal riding an ox across the green mountains."
