Chapter 29 29. Don’t pretend, let’s show off
“I heard that you were slapped three times by the stone master because you didn’t pay attention to the class?”
Zhang Yin came to pick up the boat. He looked at Song Yan strangely.
Song Yan sighed: "Master Shi's lecture is too profound. I can't understand it."
Zhang Yin patted him on the shoulder and said: "Forget it, go to leatherworking, you .This is a waste of opportunity.”
Song Yan scratched his head and said with a smile: "How come even senior brother knows about this?"
Zhang Yin laughed and said coldly: "I'm not the only one who knows?
The entire Shadow Puppet Peak knows that Master Shi gave a tough lesson to a young man who doesn’t understand etiquette!
This young man was stuffed in temporarily by me, Nanzhu Peak!
It’s such an embarrassment!
You, don't say that your senior brother didn't take care of you, go find the peak master and apologize. "
Song Yan was stunned for a moment, but as soon as his thoughts changed, he suddenly understood.
Gu Rufeng and Lu Hong were fighting for the mantle of stone master. For an outsider like him, although neither of them had Why did he catch his eye, but he still used the topic with tacit understanding, and spread the news about him being slapped by the stone master in a tacit way. In this way, he would be completely eliminated. , and it was even difficult to stand up. No matter where he went after that, he would be pointed at and even laughed at.
The only reason to blame is that he is neither Gu Rufeng's nor Lu Hong's. But he was thrust into the "Linglong Valley Strange Beast Club" at this sensitive moment.
'How cruel.'
Song Yan sighed silently, then went to the top of the mountain, knelt in front of Cheng Danqing's stone gate, and said respectfully: "Disciple Song Yan, come here to admit your mistake."
Cheng Danqing did not show off to Song Yan. Wait, but after he spoke, he asked directly through the stone door: "What's wrong?"
< br>Song Yandao: "Even if the disciple cannot understand Master Shi's profound words, he should listen carefully to the lecture and should not bow his head. It is a loss of etiquette."
Cheng Danqing was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "You That's right.
It was Gu Rufeng and Lu Hong who harmed you.
They compete for the mantle and cannot tolerate any changes, even if you are just a little ant in their eyes, they cannot tolerate it.
Even if you don't get into trouble here, they will try to trick you into making other jokes.
Do you know why? "
Song Yan:.
Cheng Danqing said: "Because you have no backer, no matter who wants to bully you or step on you, they can." ”
Song Yan:.
His thoughts were racing, countless thoughts came to him, and he suddenly felt blessed and said in a tone of suppressed anger: "This disciple will be Master Cheng's from now on!"
“Hahahahaha, you are indeed enlightened. A talented leather master." Cheng Danqing laughed, and then said, "Don't think too much, just go for it. You won't regret your choice today."
Song Yan said gratefully, "Thank you, Peak Master!" ”
After saying that, he resigned.
After retreating down the mountain road, winter was still not over. When the cold wind blew, he felt his back getting wet.
He couldn't understand what Cheng Danqing meant at all. Was it a factional fight? Or something else?
Is "I won't regret my choice today" just a saying?
Since Lu Hong rejects outsiders so much, does Lu Hong, as an elder of the inner sect, have a higher status than Cheng Danqing? At least not low, right?
Cheng Danqing requested that he be forcibly inserted into the "Linglong Valley Strange Beast Club". In theory, Lu Hong could veto it. And the difficulty for him to veto is much easier than for Cheng Danqing to intervene.
But he still went to the Fairy Beast Club smoothly. Does this mean there is someone behind Cheng Danqing?
The person hiding behind the scenes has a higher identity than an inner sect elder.
Song Yan raised his head suddenly and suddenly saw a silhouette in front of him.
That is the back of a disciple.
The uniform on the back is embroidered with a double-faced face, one crying and one laughing, which is weird and hard to describe.
And dusk has arrived, the earth is rolling in the distance, the strange red mist climbs up from the cold cliffs, the mountain wind passes through the thousands of holes in the deep mountains, and makes a strange weeping sound like the cry of a widow
Song Yan can't bear it. He smiled bitterly and secretly said in his heart: 'I really want to run away.'< br>
Ga~
Ga~
I don’t know when a strange shadow crow landed on Nanzhu Peak along with the shadow of the night, and then stood in an evergreen spot Looking down from the branches of the old tree, I saw the young man walking away, silently.
This crow is obviously not ordinary. When it appears in a certain environment, it will completely blend into that environment.
For example, if it is in the shadow now, it is completely integrated into the shadow.
Let alone Song Yan, even if Zhang Yin were here, he would not be able to notice it at all.
But the crow only stared at Song Yan.
The next day, the golden sunlight fell from the skylight and shone into the cave where Nanzhu Peak leather was made.
Song Yan took out another piece of monster animal skin, put it aside, took out paper and pen, and started today's drawing.
When he focused on the [Spell] column, his eyes naturally fell on "Painting Skin Technique (Dacheng) (can be deduced by longevity)".
He arrived very early.
Arrived early, there is no one else in the cave at this time.
The dome of the cave is full of light, with only some shadows in some rugged depressions.
Thinking of the bad feeling that emerged in his heart yesterday, Song Yan decided to give it a try in order to master some power as soon as possible.
[Please choose to invest longevity]
[You have invested ten years of longevity to understand "Painting Skin". You have copied dozens of monsters and mastered their looks, but these How should the divine appearance be reflected? You thought about the discussion you heard in Linglong Valley that day, and naturally came to the conclusion: eyes.
Only by dotting the eyes can you give the monsters their appearance. The drawings need to be spirited, and the shadow puppets need dotting.
You start trying to add some eye candy.
After ten years of polishing, even if you write randomly, the sketch will still have a look, but when you use the sketch to carve the skin, you will find that the look on the sketch cannot be transferred to the shadow puppet]
["Painted Skin" Technique, Perfection] Song Yan was stunned for a moment.
He clearly hasn’t solved the problem yet, and hasn’t discovered the method of “transferring the spirit from the drawing to the shadow puppet”. How can it be complete?
‘Continue. ’
[You have devoted ten years of your life to continue to understand "The Art of Painting Skin". You try to find the answer to that question. Day after day, year after year, you keep drawing and carving skin.
In the eighth year, the answer you had thought of suddenly broke into your mind.
Did God move?
My expression remains unchanged, but your heart is moved.
You have always naively believed that the divine appearance is in the drawing. Even if you follow the drawing 100%, you still failed. The reason is that the divine appearance is not in the drawing at all.
The tree didn't move, and the wind didn't move either. It was your heart that moved.
You are thoughtful, put aside the drawing, look at the skin attentively, and take the knife directly.
You draw the sword like a pen, and the pen moves like a dragon or a snake, and soon a picture of a monster with a mysterious appearance appears.
You raise the knife and think about those eyes.
What you are carving is the Nine-Eyed Boa Boa. The Nine-Eyed Boa Boa’s whole body is full of eyes. You are a bit dazzled just thinking about it.
You dropped the knife, but failed]
‘Continue. '
[You have devoted ten years of your life to comprehend "The Art of Painting Skin". You have made some progress, but you always feel that it is not enough.]
[You have devoted ten years of your life to comprehend "The Art of Painting Skin". "Skin Painting Technique", you have made a lot of progress, but you always feel that it is not enough.]
[You devoted ten years of your life to mastering the Art of Painting Skin. In the tenth year, you exhausted all your energy and completely forgot yourself. You seemed to have become the nine-eyed anaconda. When you dropped the knife, This time, with the help of God, the knife carved out the eyes and completed the finishing touch.
Just as you were admiring your masterpiece, you suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, your whole body felt chilly, and the pupils of the nine-eyed anaconda actually started to turn.
Then the nine-eyed harp shadow puppet jumps up and devours you.
You are dead]
[You have understood "Spiritualism"]
["Spiritualism", entry; threshold of practice: fourth level of Lianxuan]
Song Yan opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
"Spiritualism" should be part of "Painted Skin Spiritualism", and it should also be the core part.
Compared to "Little Five Elements Silk Winding Hand", "Painted Skin Spiritualism" is the most important.
Because the function of "Small Five Elements Silk Winding Hand" is to make your hands more flexible and able to contact all kinds of dangerous monster skins.
But how to make leather, I still read "The Spiritualism of Painted Skin".
Unexpectedly, Song Yan realized it on his own without needing others to pass it on.
However, there is a threshold for practicing "Spiritualism". He understood the spells of the fourth level of Lianxuan with his second-level Lianxuan body, but this wave was directly counterattacked.
Add the eyes to the shadow puppet and the shadow puppet will come to life. Kill him.
This is rare enough.
‘To improve your realm, you still have to find a way to improve it. ’
Song Yan sighed softly. In fact, he had been trying during this period, but he became more and more certain that "if you want to break through to the third level of Lianxuan, you need some kind of medicine."
‘After some time, let’s go to the market to look for it and see if there are any clues. ’
Just as I was thinking about it, other disciples came to the cave.
Song Yan said hello, then buried his head again and started leatherworking.
He still took out the sketch and drew the two-headed wolf, but when the tip of the pen was suspended in the empty wolf eyes, he instinctively stopped, then he put down the pen hastily, and clicked with the same level as before.
The crow in the dome of the cave watched this scene quietly.
For several days after that, the crow found nothing unusual.
This crow is naturally a special shadow puppet controlled by the Stone Man with a secret method.
Although it is just a crow, it is an intermediate monster called the "bodyless phantom crow". This can even be said to be the group of intermediate monsters that are best at hiding themselves. Their ability to hide themselves is basically It can be hidden from all the monks who exist in the Xuanxuan Realm.
So, Song Yan was naturally unable to discover the existence of the "bodyless phantom crow shadow puppet".
Shi Zuoweng was born as a handyman and has been obsessed with the art of shadow puppets his whole life, so he has a mysterious feeling about some things related to shadow puppets.
For example, that day, he always felt that the young disciple at Nanzhu Peak seemed to have realized something, but he did not dare to say it due to the situation, so he deliberately hit him three times to see if he was smart enough, and whether he could Will visit in the middle of the night.
But the result was no.
But he still felt something was wrong, so he deliberately used the secret technique of shadow puppets to control the "bodyless phantom crow" to peek.
But after peeping for a few days, there was still nothing unusual.
Logically speaking, it's time for the Stone Seat Man to leave.
But the old man felt that something was a little bit wrong. In his eyes, the eyes that the young man highlighted were nothing but just getting started.
However, The young man's gesture of writing gave him an indescribable feeling.
In the past, he would not have had the time to follow a junior. Now that he is old and his end is approaching, he has developed a bit of childishness and feels that it is quite interesting to follow this junior.
However, Stone Man's patience has finally been exhausted.
‘Forget it, don’t pretend, show your cards, just ask directly. ’
