Chapter 259 – The True Meaning Of Painting! (2/2)

Seeing that Li Muyang was no longer acting modest or making excuses, Gu Huangwu cheered up. “Now begin cla.s.s. Just now you guys have showed your peach blossom painting to Li Muyang and he had commented on it, so I will not explain too much. Now I will point out the flaws in your painting and then you can produce another peach blossom painting. If I feel that the latter is not a work of any progress, I will ask you to draw 100 pictures of peach blossom for me.”

Everyone were shocked, afraid of producing 100 peach blossom painting, so when their work was submitted to Gu Huangwu they listened very seriously. They were worried that they would miss something and would not make any progress on their next painting.

Li Muyang also carefully listened. Gu Huangwu absolutely does not count as a hardworking teacher, most of the time a subst.i.tute teacher had to come take his cla.s.s. Li Muyang found out that Gu Huangwu would come to cla.s.s today, so he specially came.

But Qiandu and Lin Canghai had other things to do today and had not came with Li Muyang to the walls of peach blossom.

Although Li Muyang had fused with the Tear of the Dragon King, inherited the old dragon's painting skills, he still wanted to study hard, master the subject, and become a little dragon that surpa.s.ses the master.

Gu Huangwu finished drinking his wine and the morning cla.s.s ended.

He tossed the bottle gourd to the little boy in green, staggering away in his loose robe with wide flowing sleeves.

As though he suddenly thought of something, he yelled to Li Muyang who was standing among the crowd seeing people off: “Li Muyang, come with me, I have a problem to discuss with you.”

Under the envious gaze of his cla.s.smates, Li Muyang followed after Gu Huangwu with quick steps.

Chu Ning was about to go forward to talk to Li Muyang. When she saw Li Muyang was called away by Gu Huangwu, she stopped abruptly, stamping her feet in frustration.

'There is a peach blossom hut in the peach blossom village, where the peach blossom immortal lives.'

This was a poem of Tang yi, a great painter and poet in ancient times. It was evident that it was Gu Huangwu's favourite poem, not only had he named the place he teaches at the Walls of Peach Blossom, but also the little courtyard that he lived at was called Peach Blossom hut.

Gu Huangwu brought Li Muyang into his art studio, pointing to the scroll unfolded on a table. It was Li Muyang's 'Shower of spring suns.h.i.+ne' that made him famous.

“Li Muyang, why do you paint?” Gu Huangwu asked loudly.

Li Muyang was taken aback, stumbled for a moment and then replied, “Because I like to.”

Why did he ask such a question all of a sudden? Could it be that Gu Huangwu also wanted to take him as his disciple?

Li Muyang was very troubled, he has to deal with so many men he was really worried that he would be too busy.

“Poem has a poetic soul, paintings has a meaning.” Gu Huangwu was not at all surprised with Li Muyang's answer, questioning him further: “What is the meaning of your painting?”

“——” Li Muyang was thinking to himself that wasn't it you who told us to take peach blossom as the theme? Now why are you asking for the meaning of my painting?

“Grind the ink for me.” Gu Huangwu said aloud.

Li Muyang grinded the ink stick against the ink stone into a smooth flat surface, his force was even and his speed was uniform as he grinded in one direction. This was the way to make good liquid ink.

Once Li Muyang prepared the ink, Gu Huangwu dipped his brush in ink, walked toward Li Muyang's 'shower of spring suns.h.i.+ne' painting and added a speck to the huge dog's eyes.

A gust of wind blew, the dog leapt out of the paper, jumped to the ground, barking loudly.
