Meng Chuan was walking, looking at the vendors on the roadside soliciting business, and some Taoist disciples walking side by side in twos and threes, talking among themselves.
"Look, it's Senior Brother Meng."
"Senior Brother Meng."
The disciples of Youjing Lake Taoist Academy immediately shouted respectfully.
What he saw along the way made Meng Chuan smile. Suddenly he saw a disabled old man on the roadside. The disabled old man was sitting on the edge of the river leisurely watching the passers-by. There was a fishing rod beside him. He looked at it with a smile and occasionally took a puff from the big pipe.
Meng Chuan is a very clever painter and observes everything very carefully. He could feel the enjoyment and comfort of the disabled elderly. That overflowing ‘satisfaction’. But the old man was very disabled, with one leg and one hand broken.
"How can he be so comfortable and enjoy himself with such a serious disability? He looks the most miserable on the whole street, but he enjoys it the most?" Meng Chuan walked over curiously.
"Old man." Meng Chuan walked over and spoke politely.
"Huh?"
The disabled old man held a big smoking pole with one arm. He looked over and said with great joy, "Isn't this Mr. Meng Chuan? Mr. Meng Chuan is actually here." If you talk to me, an old man, I have to tell my wife when I get back."
The smile of the disabled old man is very contagious.
Meng Chuan said: "Old man, I don't know why you are so happy, but there is a big happy event?"
"Look, the teenagers are practicing martial arts, and the adults are doing it. Life is busy." The disabled old man pointed to the street, "Seeing all this makes me happy."
Meng Chuan was slightly stunned.
"Back then, at Qinyang Pass, the demon tribe gathered a large army, and under the leadership of a group of demon kings, they wanted to come in." The disabled old man said, "Once they come in, the entire Dongning Mansion and even the surrounding areas will be transformed into It was a scorched earth, and no one could survive. At that time, the old man and I were serving in Qinyang Pass, and every soldier, from the top to the gods and demons, fought hard to resist the gods and demons."
" We are fighting against the monster king."
"We are also resisting every monster. Bodies are scattered everywhere, and our companions are still talking and laughing together last night, but today they are dead. You have to drag the monsters with you to death." The old man's eyes were slightly moist, and he smiled, "You will be so angry that you will be killed when you find that there are no monsters around, but there are not many companions standing around."
"We received support from other gods and demons and finally defended Qinyang Pass." The disabled old man smiled, "We saved the lives of tens of millions of people around Dongning Mansion. That time, 20,000 people were there. There are only 1,633 sergeants alive. Of the five gods and demons who guarded Qinyang Pass at that time, only two are left alive."
"Why do we all fight so hard, even in desperate situations? I am willing to run away. It is because I don’t want my family and my children to be slaughtered... I hope they can practice peacefully, drink a lot of wine, and brag about themselves. I hope they can also ask for a wife in the future.A woman gives birth to a child..." The disabled old man smiled, "I come out every day to see. Looking at the people from my hometown on the street, I thought of my companions who fell one by one. Everyone's death was worth it. ”
“I am very lucky. Out of 20,000 brothers and sisters, only 1,633 survive.” I survived and was able to eat meat buns, drink wine, fish, and smoke dry cigarettes...haha...how happy I am. "The disabled old man smiled.
Meng Chuan listened silently.
The original confusion in his heart was gone.
Some so-called miserable families, and It's really ridiculous when compared to the elderly.
For example, Hongyu works as a maid in a wealthy family and can earn money to support her family. Who can blame her for being in debt? Have you been deceived? Not to mention that you may be trying to trick your son. If you can’t even see the debt note clearly, who can you blame?
“There are thousands of kinds of people. ”
“Some people are willing to fall. ”
“Some people, even in the abyss, still smile brightly. "
"And the vast majority of people..." Meng Chuan also looked at the vendors and pedestrians on the street, "They are all full of expectations and running for life. "
......
Meng Chuan returned home, had lunch, and came to the study.
Unrolling the scroll, Meng Chuan began to paint.
There are so many things in his heart that he wants to paint.
The first thing he painted was one of the places in Dongning Mansion...
...
< p>From this day on, in addition to normal practice, Meng Chuan painted every day.From summer to autumn, he painted this painting. I continued painting for more than four months, and when the autumn leaves started to turn yellow and fall, the painting finally came to an end.
This is a huge long scroll painting, eight meters long. .
The left half of the entire long scroll painting is an ancient city - Dongning Fucheng
The most conspicuous one is the "Meng Family Ancestral Residence". An old woman with a cane stood there, her whole body shining with terrifying power. Next to her were the clan leader, the third elder, Meng Dajiang and many other clan members. Meng Chuan carefully drew dozens of other clan members. He was led by some shadows.
Outside the ancestral home of the Meng family, there was Liu Chang, the leader of the Black Wolf Gang, who was bowing respectfully. Meng Chuan had never seen Liu Chang. There is a portrait in the file. Meng Chuan exaggerated it, and the picture of Liu Chang was stronger and more fierce, but in front of the Meng family's ancestral home, Liu Chang was extremely respectful and flattering.
Behind Liu Chang, it was. 'Zhou He' bowed even more, and Zhou He even showed a flattering smile to Liu Chang. That smile was painted very carefully.
Behind Zhou He was the cautious and timid Hong Yu. , Tiesheng sister and brother.
Following them were the group portraits throughout Dongning Fucheng.
Several poor women who were forced to sell themselves by their families were crying towards Xian.Shiyuan;
There are also dozens of hardworking people, some of whom even have broken arms and are working with one hand;
There are also restaurants, teahouses, There are all kinds of customers in the noodle shop and other places, including roadside vendors, pedestrians, bad gamblers, gangsters... and of course there is also the disabled old man with a broken arm and leg by the river. There is a fishing rod next to him and he is smoking. Han Yan looked at the street next to him with a smile, and also looked at the far right side of the entire picture.
Meng Chuan drew hundreds of ordinary people in Dongning City.
The focus is on Taoism.
In a Taoist temple painted by Meng Chuan, there are children, teenagers, and young people, all working hard to practice, and the dean Ge Yu is drinking and giving guidance. The Taoist Temple is on the far left side of Dongning City, with the sun rising next to it. This group of Taoist disciples is the rising sun of the entire Dongning City and the hope of Dongning City.
However, on the far right side of Dongning City, outside the city,
outside the city, a group of young people wearing Taoist attire... left under the watch of a group of parents and family members. Dongning City, go to another place.
The far right of the entire portrait.
It was a border stained red with blood.
There are gods, demons and demon kings fighting. The gods and demons are ‘Meng Xiangu’, and the demon king is also a snake demon king flying high in the sky.
On the border, there were countless soldiers fighting with monsters.
Most of these soldiers are simply drawn, but some have detailed faces.
For example, among the soldiers, there are father Meng Dajiang, dean Ge Yu, clan leader, third elder, Yun Fu'an, Liu Chang, Zhou He... Although these people have different identities in Dongning Fucheng, they They all once had a common identity - human soldiers who fought with monsters!
"Okay." Meng Chuan drew the last character, the soldier who still inserted the sword into the monster's head after breaking off his arm. It was the disabled old man who died in the battle. He was staring at The monster seems to be looking at the far left side of the entire picture, looking at the peaceful Dongning City.
The entire picture depicts a lot of what Meng Chuan wanted to express.
Like the leader of the Black Wolf Gang ‘Liu Chang’, he is afraid of the Gods and Demons family, but he also scares some wealthy businessmen.
Zhou He was very angry and had many servants under his command, but he also had many things to fear.
Meng Dajiang and the others have a high status, but they have also fought bloody battles at the border for ten years.
The gods and demons are at the top and are the backbone of the human race.
They need to protect the entire human race.
On the entire map, there are many kinds of ordinary people, and those Xianshiyuan women are just a handful among countless ordinary people. Although these ordinary people are weak, they are the largest number in the scroll. They are protected by gods and demons, but they are the foundation of the human race. Only countless ordinary people can give birth to gods and demons from generation to generation. In this way, the human race will never end.
The whole painting depicts the three religions and nine streams.
Draws the tip of the iceberg of the human race, but also reveals how the human race has survived to this day.reason.
Meng Chuan wrote three words in the upper right corner of the entire scroll - "Appearances of All Living Beings".
All living beings.
There are many people here, including Meng Xiangu, Meng Dajiang, the Third Elder, Liu Chang, Zhou He, the disabled old man, Ge Yu, etc... These characters are them, but they are not them.
"The painting is finished." Meng Chuan sat on the chair, feeling extremely satisfied.
He loved painting since he was a child.
This is because he likes to observe the world and record what he observes with his pen. In the early days, he painted the exterior, which was lifelike. Later, when he painted the "horse picture", he gradually painted the charm. The horses seemed to be alive. Therefore, even people who don't know how to paint are shocked when they see such paintings, and are willing to pay a high price to buy them. At that time, he was the first person in Dongning Mansion's painting skills.
And today...he has reached another level.
What you draw is your own ‘heart’!
Draw out all the strong emotions in your heart and integrate them into the painting. The moment I finished painting, I felt a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
"All living beings." Meng Chuan closed his eyes and smiled.
The huge sense of satisfaction in his soul made his head dizzy.
He doesn’t know.
In the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows.
A vague human-shaped soul is gradually condensing. During the more than four months of painting the painting "Appearances of All Living Beings", this human-shaped soul is gradually blooming with spiritual light. As a result, the soul of this human figure is constantly condensing. After it is drawn, the soul feels a great sense of completion. This humanoid soul has finally accumulated to the extreme, and 'suddenly' completely solidified, showing its true appearance.
At this moment, Meng Chuan also felt dizzy.
You can 'see' it when you follow him, as if you are looking inwards through cultivating your true energy. His consciousness 'saw' a vast empty space between his eyebrows, and in this space stood a figure that looked exactly like himself.
