Under the influence of the talisman, Miao Shi, the youngest son of Miao Yuanwai, could no longer hold on any longer and spilled the beans about everything that had happened during this period.
Most of them are similar to Lu Jing and Yan Yun's previous guesses.
Whether it was Han Erlang's wife, Li Er's cattle, the nine-tailed fox demon encountered outside the Miao Yuan, or the nine-dragon treasure basin that made Xin Papi miserable, they were all written by him.
The magical pen in Miao Shi's hand has the powerful power to turn the things on the painting into reality.
After getting the pen, the first thing he drew was a stool. As a result, after finishing the last stroke, the stool really jumped out of the painting and landed in front of him.
It didn't look any different from the one in his house.
Then he tried to draw his own desk, screen and bed, and they were all the same as the real ones.
Then Miao Shi gradually became more courageous and began to focus on those living things. The first living thing he painted was a goldfish.
After the painting was completed, he threw it into the pond in the backyard. As expected, the goldfish started to swim with its tail swaying, and soon it got into the school of fish, making it difficult to distinguish it.
Miao Shi, who was greatly encouraged, then drew an oriole and a rooster. Among them, the oriole soared into the sky, while the rooster jumped into the courtyard, flapping its wings.
Miao Shi knew that he had met a treasure, so he immediately drew a golden mountain for himself.
However, for some unknown reason, the golden mountain did not become real.
Miao Shi tried to draw another ingot of silver, but the silver was still on the drawing.
Miao Shi couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he saw this, and hurriedly drew another pen holder. The pen holder appeared in front of him this time, but once he thought of selling the pen holder for money, the pen holder turned into a painting again. .
Miao Shi also vaguely realized that the things drawn with this pen could not be exchanged for money.
In the next half month, Miao Shi did nothing else but kept groping for the magic pen in his hand, and he discovered many things.
For example, the thing in the painting can only stay in this world for ten days at most, and then it will turn back into a painting, and it cannot be painted again.
Also, if the painting is not good, even with this magic pen, it will not make the things in the painting come alive. For example, Miao Shi later tried a pomegranate picture that he was not familiar with, and nothing happened after finishing the painting.
Miao Shi studied painting for less than two years, and he didn't spend it every day. He didn't have many things that he was good at, so he finished them all quickly. He was faced with the dilemma of having a magic brush but nothing to draw.
However, this situation is not without a solution, and that is copying.
Compared with drawing by yourself, copying is simpler and the success rate will be much higher.
Naturally, Miao Shi's best person to copy was his teacher Ma Liang.
So he went to Ma Liang and asked for some paintings, including meticulous figures, animals and birds, rural scenery, and even a few strange beasts, but they were from an ancient book called "The Chronicles of Mountains and Seas".
After Miao Shi came back, he copied a portrait first.
He had never seen Han Erlang and his wife before, and he didn't know who the woman in the painting was. He just thought she was very beautiful, so he had the idea to copy her.
It took about five days to carefully copy it, and then he saw a woman dressed the same as in the painting appear in his room.
Although Miao Shi had painted tables, stools, and even swimming fish and birds before, he was still shocked to see a living person step out of the painting.
Especially when he listened to the woman's self-report, he realized that the woman was actually from the capital.
Then he and the woman returned to her residence in the city. However, when Miao Shi inquired with the neighbors, he discovered that the woman had died two years ago.
Then Miao Shi simply told her that she was actually the person in the painting and that she only had ten days to live. After hearing this, the woman was silent for a long time, and then asked Miao Shi if she could stay in the city.
Miao Shi didn't care about this. He copied the painting before to verify the power of the magic pen. Now that the person appeared in front of him, he didn't know how to deal with him.
Although the Miao family's house is not small, he is just a commoner after all, and basically all he can manage is his own small courtyard. In addition, he also knows what kind of character his father is.
He was worried that keeping this woman would not make his mother's already precarious position even more unstable, so he happily agreed.
After this incident, Miao Shi cherished this magic pen even more, and at the same time began to try to do something with it.
Although the way to make money has been blocked, in addition to making money, there are also many places where this magic pen can come in handy.
For example, a few days later, Li Er's cattle trampled the Miao family's chrysanthemum field. There were many chrysanthemums that Miao Shi liked very much. He originally planned to go there to paint a few pictures. Now he can't paint chrysanthemums, but there are other things. Things can be painted.
Miao Shi noticed that among the paintings Ma Liang gave him, there was a picture of Li Er's cattle, so an idea came to his mind. Miao Shi asked a nurse who had the best relationship with him to take Li Er away at night. Two cattle.
Then he killed the cow, took off its horns, and threw the body into the river.
Then he placed the pair of horns outside the backyard of the butcher in the village. When Li Er discovered the horns and went to the Yamen to sue the butcher, Miao Shi finished the last stroke of the picture of the cattle he copied.
The re-transformed cow was sent to Li Er's home, which gave Li Er a slap in the face, and Miao Shi also looked forward to the look on Li Er's face when the cattle disappeared again in ten days.
After that, Miao Shi continued his efforts. First, he drew a fox demon to scare his lecherous father, and then he drew a Nine-Dragon Treasure Basin, which he sold to Xin Papi, who had cheated his mother. Of course, the two thousand taels of silver were given to Miao Shi. I didn't dare to ask for any stone.
When he said this, Lu Jing and the other two people all frowned in unison, and then Yan Yun said, "Where is your teacher Ma Liang?"
"What?" Miao Shi was confused.
"You also drew your teacher Ma Liang. Calculate the time...it should be ten days ago, one day earlier than you drew the cow."
"I...I have never painted my teacher." Miao Shi didn't look like he was lying.
Moreover, Ma Liang was never mentioned before when he was given a talisman.
Seeing the unkind expressions of the three of them, Miao Shi quickly added, "I am indeed a little worried that the teacher will see something. After all, he gave me those paintings, but he has never asked me about it, and of course I won't either." Take the initiative to tell him.”
Lu Jing's heart moved, "Have you ever lent your pen to anyone during this time?"
"No," Miao Shi replied simply, "How could I give this kind of treasure to others."
"Then how did you get this pen in the first place? Could it be that it was really given to you by some god?" Xia Huai said.
"That's right," Miao Shi nodded, "The god also told me to be careful about people from the academy, so I have been avoiding those scholars recently."
