Chapter 659 Three Damages
Chu Xian felt that he couldn't get enough of the whole painting. There were too many things in it for him to learn and improve his painting skills.

Naturally, at this time, Chu Xian also saw the damage of this painting under the explanation of several painters.

There are three places in total.

Two places are on the edge, and some scenery and mountains and rivers are lost, and the other one is more troublesome. Among the immortals, a hole the size of a thumb was directly damaged in one immortal, so that it is impossible to see what that immortal looks like , the entire image, less than [-]% left.

"It is a pity that such a precious treasure is damaged. We have thought about these three damages for a long time, but we can't find a way to repair them. If we can't achieve them, I will wait for death." Several painters said emotionally Everywhere, there is an expression on their faces, as if this painting is their lover.

Speaking of these painting saints, they are also well-known figures in the holy dynasty.

They are famous not because of their high official positions, not because of their strong cultivation, but because of their outstanding skills and high morals.The four saints of painting are Han Xi, Wu Daoxuan, Li Tang, and Song Zhao. In addition to being saints of painting, these four are also proficient in various techniques, such as porcelain, such as appraising ancient objects, and they are also the leaders of the holy dynasty. Inside, the famous historian is even a sage of literature.

The four painting saints are in charge of the East and West Treasure Pavilions, which are equivalent to millions of treasures in the Holy Dynasty, all of which are under their management. In the words of these four, they are the most "powerful" and "richest" in the Holy Dynasty people.

Chu Xian knows that this kind of wealth refers to the spiritual level, and the four of them don't seek fame or profit. They have been guarding this treasure pavilion for nearly a hundred years. Their persistence and perseverance alone are admirable.

Chu Xian has always respected his elders. Of course, if he is an opponent in the officialdom, Chu Xian will not be polite, but to these four, Chu Xian only respects them.

Since Chu Xian is going to restore the Picture of Hundred Immortals this time, the first step is of course to have a deeper understanding of it. Although he has learned it before, it is relatively one-sided after all. Now that there are four teachers, how can Chu Xian let it go? This opportunity to ask for advice.So he took the initiative to express that he wanted to stay in the Treasure Pavilion for a few days, of course, on the premise of not violating the rules. After all, this place is not only the Treasure Pavilion, but also within the imperial city.

For this request, the four painters did not refuse, because they also had the same idea, and in the past so many years, they often stayed here, and they were already used to it.

Here Chu Xian wrote the Zhihe Biography, reporting the situation at home, and then stayed in the Zhenbao Pavilion.

The whole day, Chu Xian was asking the four painters for advice, and the four painters did not hide their secrets, and taught them everything they knew.

In this way, Chu Xian already knows the origin and background of the entire Hundred Immortals Picture, and even details such as the painting method used, the canvas, and the ratio of paints.

But knowing is only the first step.

Chu Xian remembered his errand, and his errand was to restore this painting.

So I have to work hard in this direction. What's more, Chu Xian likes to do this kind of thing. Chu Xian has a feeling that if he can really restore this painting, it will be good for his cultivation. A huge improvement, and the realm of painting will definitely be raised to a higher level.

"There are rumors that the Master Miaobi who painted this painting used ten thousand catties of materials to paint this painting. There are hundreds of altars of pigments just from grinding." Chu Xian asked at this time.

He also paints, but to be honest, he can't use so many materials in one painting, so he feels that the rumors are a bit exaggerated.

But Hanxi Painter over there immediately shook his head: "This is not a rumor, it is a fact."

After speaking, he fetched a piece of paper with a technique, condensed the brush, and then dipped the brush in the ink.

An astonishing thing happened. Han Xi's painting master actually sucked up all the ink on a plate, and then drew a cliff pines and cypresses with a few strokes.

This painting is so lifelike that it is already a phantom god's technique.

"Everyone, come in with me."

The next moment, at the invitation of Master Hanxi, Chu Xian only felt the change in brilliance, and found that he had already reached a cliff, next to the pines and cypresses at that moment, and surrounded by a vast sea of ​​clouds.

"The imaginary brushwork, one stroke and one boundary, to outline a picture of a hundred immortals, ten thousand catties of material is not much." Hanxi Painter stood on the cliff and said.

Chu Xian nodded.

He himself has reached the realm of phantom gods, and once used the phantom god brushwork in "Xiandian" to draw thousands of pictures. Of course, the materials used are also astronomical.

It's just that Chu Xian's phantom god is not the top one after all. He is also a phantom god, and his brushwork is divided into multiple levels. Simply put, Chu Xian's current painting skills are incomparable to the four painting saints. As for It's a world of difference from the Miaobi real person who drew the picture of a hundred immortals.

The paintings drawn by the magical brushwork can form a world of their own, just like at this moment, Chu Xian is on the cliff, and the pines and cypresses he sees are in the painting. Of course, this kind of brushwork is extremely mysterious.

Chu Xian then humbly asked the four master painters for advice. In just seven days, Chu Xian had already raised his magical brushwork to a level comparable to the four master painters.

This speed alone really shocked the four painting sages, saying bluntly that Chu Xian's talent is rare in the world, a rare talent that has never been seen in a thousand years.

In this way, Chu Xian still didn't ask too much, but asked the four painters for their thoughts on repairing the picture of the hundred immortals.

Regarding this, Han Xi, Wu Daoxuan, Li Tang, and Song Zhao also nodded in secret. A talented person like Chu Xian is also a Daoist, who is also in a high position, and he is even the one who has just compiled the incomparable divine book "Xiandian" , they are still so polite, without getting carried away, this state of mind makes them feel close.

You must know that they have seen too many people who get carried away with a little achievement. Compared with these people, Chu Xian is much, much better.

However, the four painters were very cautious about how to restore the picture of the hundred immortals. Although they have come up with many methods based on the experience of their predecessors over the years, they have never tried it because this painting is too precious. Because they dare not.

They were afraid that if something went wrong and the painting was destroyed again, they would be sinners through the ages, and at that time, they would be responsible even if they committed suicide.

Chu Xian listened and nodded.

In fact, he has already seen that the obsession of these four painters with painting skills has reached an unbelievable level. Xian's experience and realm are not enough, so if anyone can really restore this painting, only these four have the ability.

The reason why they haven't done it for so long is just as they said.

Because I dare not.

Chu Xian thought for a while, and then asked the four painters to do a good job, and then explained the current situation in the officialdom.The four painters actually didn't care about the situation in the officialdom, and only after hearing Chu Xian's explanation did they understand a thing or two.

Chu Xian said again: "From what the four seniors have seen, what do you think of the difference between Xiao Yu Zhongshu and Yang Zhenqing?"

If it were someone else, it would definitely be impossible to ask this question. Firstly, Chu Xian would not be able to ask, and secondly, it would be impossible for the other party to answer. After all, this topic is too sensitive, who would dare to talk nonsense.

But these four painting saints are different. In their eyes, the affairs in the officialdom have nothing to do with them, and the four are pure-minded, they don't care about this and that, basically they say what they have.

When Chu Xian asked, they answered.

"I think Xiao Yu Zhongshu is more pleasing to the eye." Han Xi replied directly, without seeming to think about it. Wu Daoxuan, Li Tang, and Song Zhao also nodded: "Yes, Yang Zhenqing feels bad, but what should I say? No, we can’t say it, we feel very important when we paint, and we feel that Xiao Yu’s book is better.”

Chu Xian nodded, and then explained the dispute between Xiao Yu and Yang Zhenqing.

"This time they must have tried to encourage the four saints of painting to restore the painting, and they probably said some deceitful words. They did this to hold me back and block my promotion, but they thought wrong Well, I, Chu Xian, am serious about restoring the painting of the hundred immortals, and I am also happy to do so. I knew the painting of the hundred immortals when I first learned to paint. It’s what they wished for, they thought they were using this method to deal with me, but that was a big mistake.”

While expressing his heart, Chu Xian also told the situation of the Holy Dynasty.

In addition to the idea of ​​further winning over the four painting saints, there is also the idea of ​​trying to wake them up. In Chu Xian's view, as an official of the holy dynasty, even if he only guards these silent treasures, he cannot really keep them alive. All things are ignored and ignored.

That's obviously not right.

If you are so withdrawn, no matter how good your painting skills are, you will not be able to do without that kind of understanding of the overall situation. Chu Xian knows that in terms of painting skills, it is not impossible for the four painters to work together to restore this picture of a hundred immortals. The main reason is that they are too cautious. They only have pictures in their eyes. The more they think about it, the more cautious they become. I said that Li Tang said before that he could not repair it with magic brushes. From Chu Xian's point of view, he was afraid of backlash. Mostly, mainly, I was afraid of ruining this treasure.

It is estimated that people like Yang Zhenqing understood these mentalities, so they framed themselves under the guise of restoring paintings, because they knew that with these four masters of painting, they would not want to restore them for a year or so, maybe three to five years , Even for more than ten years, these few dare not write.

If you don't write, how can you get out?

Chu Xian saw that it was tricky, so naturally he couldn't sit still, so the one who should be honest should be honest. Although Chu Xian can fool these four people and achieve his goal, since Chu Xian respects these four people, he should not be deceived good.

"To put it simply, Taishi Yang and the others are using four of you to trap me here, but I, Chu Xian, really want to restore this painting, and after thinking about it for the past few days, I've figured out a way, so please invite the four of you The painting sage will help you with all your strength." Chu Xian bowed at this point.

The four people on the opposite side were already dumbfounded.
