After the first painting was completed, Cheng Ling closed his eyes and felt quietly. Although it feels like the situation in the body has not changed much, and the cold poison and fire poison that can be vented are extremely limited, but as long as the direction is found, it can be completely solved over many years.
He stood up, took out a piece of drawing paper again, filled the pen with ink, and continued to draw. But this time, what he painted was not landscapes, but flames, all kinds of fires, dots of prairie fires, bonfires, candlelights, stove fires, mountain fires... and so on.
But as the painting continued to deepen, he gradually discovered that some simple flame paintings still have seven or eight points of spiritual essence, but once they touch powerful flames, such as mountain fires, raging fires, large fires, lava fires, etc., they will become very powerful. It was blurry, even the outlines of the flames were overlapping, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Moreover, he also found that the clearer the flames were drawn, the more fire poison would be released. If he wanted to force out a large amount of fire poison from the body in one go, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
Cheng Ling immediately put away his quick thoughts, stopped writing, and began to meditate again.
On the Snow Volcano, the cold poison and the fire poison should be equal. In other words, there should be a delicate balance between the two, which can create the strange scene on the top of the Snow Volcano. It can be deduced from this that the cold poison and fire poison that invaded one's body should also be emitted simultaneously. Otherwise, once the balance is imbalanced and either party has the upper hand, God knows what kind of changes will occur.
In this way, in the future, the cold poison and the fire poison must be released simultaneously, and the interval between the two must not be too long. Then the order of painting must be rotated. You can make a painting about the water system first, and then a painting about the fire system. This order is very important and must not be easily disrupted.
Another point is that you should not aim too high. After being hit by Yun Jingshan's love-cutting method, the immortal energy in the body was almost exhausted. In that case, the cold poison and fire poison that invaded cannot be completely eliminated in a short time. It requires a An extremely long process.
In the same way, we must first express the two attributes of water and fire in the simplest form through paintings, and then go deeper step by step after we get used to it.
The only way to confirm your assumptions is to practice. He took a deep breath, changed the quality of another picture, closed his eyes, and after a long time passed, he started to draw lightly on the paper with a talisman pen.
This time, what he painted were just water drops. It is said that he knows something from the smallest details. If he wants to become a top painter, the first condition is that he must have solid basic skills. There are many techniques in painting, the first is form, followed by lines, perspective, light and shade, color, contrast and so on.
When the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci began to learn painting, the first step was to paint various eggs, and he painted for three years. This was to hone his observation skills and painting skills, and in the end he became a great master. .
This is actually similar to the practice of swordsmanship. Only by thoroughly understanding the basic swordsmanship can you exert the maximum power of each move. In the later stage, any simple sword move can be compared with other people's killing moves. compared to.
Moreover, after previous experiments, Cheng Ling discovered that the more realistic the object is, the more cold and fire poison will be released. This may be a different approach, but currently this is the only method that can be thought of.
Water droplets appear one after another in Cheng Ling's paintings. Some are rolling around on the lotus leaves, like crystal pearls; some are hanging at the ends of the leaves, round and full; The raindrops fell and rippled in the air, like a misty veil.
More than two hours passed before the entire painting was finally completed. Cheng Ling was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely. His frail body could not sustain the mental exertion for a long time. But the result was gratifying. The painting was lifelike, and every drop of water seemed to be alive. He could clearly feel that with the completion of the painting, the cold poison in his body was reduced a lot.
After resting for a while and regaining his strength, he began to feel hungry again. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. His body was in bad shape now. Not only did he feel tired easily like ordinary people, but he also needed to take in food from time to time to replenish energy.
Fortunately, he still had one hundred cents coins given to him by Shopkeeper Wu, which he could use to buy some food. He walked out of the room and planned to buy some daily necessities. As the saying goes, the great hermit hides in the city. Xuecheng is a purely mortal town. The monks who chased him must not have thought that he would stay here.
Depending on my situation, I won’t be leaving anytime soon. He had originally promised the Immortal Emperor of the Void to return to the Wuji Sect within ten years, but it seemed that he was going to break the promise. Speaking of which, Immortal Emperor Void has sincerely invited me twice. Unfortunately, everything was in vain and I missed it every time.
It has been almost four or five years since he left the Luochen Sword Sect. I hope he can hold on to his longevity until he can turn around.
After recovering my thoughts, Xuecheng was just a small town with not many shops. Fortunately, the variety was quite complete. After wandering around for a long time, I finally bought all the needed items and spent ninety cents of the fairy coins I had on me.
He took out a fairy coin and looked at it carefully, and found that it was made of several special metals. It was similar to the one-yuan coin on earth, except that the pattern on it was more exquisite and lighter.
Cheng Ling nodded silently. Zhongyuan Continent is not much different from the earth. Each class has its own specific survival rules. Isn't this kind of currency used for transactions the best embodiment?
But soon, he began to worry about his future livelihood. To live in Snow City, you also need resources. In the past, they were fairy crystals, but now they are fairy coins. Although I bought a lot of things this time, I spent ninety cents so quickly. How will I maintain my livelihood in the future?
That’s all, let’s take it one step at a time! If it doesn't work, the worst possible thing is to sell his paintings.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved again, dragging the daily necessities he purchased, and in order to save a few immortal coins, he spent a lot of effort to transport them all back to the store. After returning, he threw away the goods and collapsed on the bed, gasping for air.
"This body is really fucked. Just transporting these things back takes a lot of effort. When you make money in the future, you should buy a servant!"
Cheng Ling murmured to himself and rested for a while. After recovering his strength, he got up and went to get food. But this time, he no longer dared to cook food with herbs. The aroma could attract Shopkeeper Wu from a distance, not to mention that he lived next door to the medicine shop and would not have to cause trouble.
After eating and drinking, his physical strength was almost restored. Cheng Ling came to the table again, set up his posture, and started painting.
The flames appear one by one in the painting, like dancing elves, like burning life, and sometimes like the rhythm of youthful melody. Cheng Ling did not paint complicated flame scenes, but simply painted some bonfires and candlelight.
Painting over and over again, enjoying it endlessly. When I got tired, I would lie down and rest. After I had rested, I started painting again. Repeating this cycle, the shapes of water droplets and flames become more and more vivid on the drawing paper, as if they are real.
Moreover, through this kind of painting, Cheng Ling felt that she had a more thorough understanding of the subtleties of the mysteries of water and the five elements. A long time ago, he had upgraded all the Five Elements Mysteries to the realm of Dacheng. He originally thought that he had mastered all the changes in the two.
But after these few days of painting, he found that those were not enough. The level of mysteries is one aspect, and the other aspect is application. Having a sharp weapon but not knowing how to use it to unleash its maximum power is like a pearl covered in dust and unsatisfactory.
Cheng Ling's paintings, starting from the smallest point, can deepen the understanding of the origin of the two rules of heaven and earth, better see the essence, control and use them in the subtleties. This has no direct connection with immortality and divine consciousness, it is just an understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.
For example, the same spell and monks of the same realm will have different powers, depending on their understanding of the rules of heaven and earth.
Time passes day by day. From the beginning, I could only make two paintings a day, and later increased to four or eight. When I find one I am satisfied with, I will take it out and hang it in front of the shop for sale.
Unfortunately, not many people bought the paintings, and he didn't care much. The fairy coins exchanged were just for daily expenses, which was enough, and he didn't want to be rich.
Sometimes, when Mu Yan and Mu Qing came back from hunting, they would invite him to sit at home and talk about their hunting experiences. When they got interested, they would cook some food for the two brothers and sisters. However, although the food Cheng Ling makes is delicious every time, it is never as memorable as the first time.
This was naturally his intention. With paintings, the cold and fire poisons in the body could be vented, and the effect of medicinal food was greatly reduced. However, he would occasionally add some herbs to relax muscles and strengthen the body in the food, but they were well hidden. , don't let that fragrance spread out again.
After the two siblings ate it, the hidden wounds left by hunting were basically eliminated. Gradually, Mu Yan found that his body was getting stronger and his speed and strength had increased a lot. Mu Qing found that his skin and figure were getting stronger and stronger. Well, it became more and more beautiful. In less than half a year, it attracted many matchmakers in Snow City, but they were rejected every time.
As time went by, and soon a year passed, Cheng Ling seemed to have completely forgotten his past. Such a life was very comfortable, with no fighting or intrigues, allowing him to completely relax physically and mentally. Only in the dead of night, he would occasionally Looking at the north, everything is desolate.
Mu Qing was very curious, why could he see so much vicissitudes of life and sorrow in his eyes when he was obviously just a down-and-out scholar. She also asked Cheng Ling, but she never got a reply, so she had to give up in the end.
Cheng Ling's paintings have become more and more famous, and the reason is still related to Shopkeeper Wu.
One day, an immortal who came to buy herbs accidentally saw Cheng Ling's paintings. He was shocked at first glance. A mortal without any immortal energy had such a profound understanding of the mysteries of water and fire. Even he was shocked. Very inspired by this.
Excited, he did not hesitate to buy all of Cheng Ling's paintings hanging in the shop. Naturally, Cheng Ling also received a very considerable sum of immortal coins and became one of the few rich people in Snow City.
