The Demon Soul is Coming

Xia Yingchen said: "What do you think, should we go to tonight's banquet?"

Liu Sang said: "Isn't it enough for the lady to make her own decisions?"

Xia Yingchen looked at him: "I want to hear your opinion."

"It's very simple," Liu Sang said with a smile, "Send someone to investigate the movements of that younger brother of Marquis Dingbei and the second son of Gong Zhiyu. If they go, we will go too. If they don't go, we won't go either."

Xia Yingchen slowly broke into a smile: "It's the same as I... think..." Looking at the sky again, the sun was empty, so he said with a smile: "Anyway, it's still early, we have to wait until we can see other people's movements clearly." Decided, it is better to take advantage of this time and go to the Palace of Inquisition."

Liu Sang, Xia Yingchen, and Xia Zhaowu came to the Palace of Research.

The Study Palace is built against the mountain, covering a vast area, with looming pavilions and an elegant atmosphere, as if there is an aftertaste of books, and it goes around the mountain endlessly.

Xia Zhaowu found Qin Qin. Qin Qin was surprised when he learned that the boy who sold paintings the day before was her brother-in-law. He pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me the day before? I thought he is yours……"

Xia Zhaowu asked suspiciously: "What is mine?"

Qin Qin coughed twice.

Xia Zhaowu blushed, and spat: "It's all guesswork."

Qin Qin asked: "Do you know about Shi Yuan?"

Xia Zhaowu nodded with a sad face.Shi Yuan was originally her boudoir friend, but the relationship between the two of them was not very close before, but this time when she came to Ying City, Shi Yuan treated her exceptionally well.

When she thought of Shi Yuan's death at home for no reason, and the murderer hadn't been found yet, she was naturally a little sad.

Qin Qin said: "You originally said you would arrive in the early morning, but the adoptive father waited for you all morning, and then went to Ying City to find your brother-in-law. The two paintings are still in the Danqing room, why don't you go there first Waiting for him?" Leading them to the room of Danqing.

According to Zhou Li, the six arts are Wuli, Liuyue, Wushe, Wuyu, Liushu, and Jiushu. Among them, "dancing" belongs to "music", and "painting" belongs to " Book".Due to different historical evolutions, although the origin is also Zhouli, the "six arts" of this life and the "six arts of Confucianism" of Liu Sang's previous life have completely different emphasis. As for the existence of she, Yu, and Shu, it is only to continue to retain the name of "six arts", which has long been underestimated by Confucianism.

In this life, due to the influence of Mohism, the books and numbers in it are particularly valued, but the "books" in it are no longer the Six Classics of Confucianism, but include the "Mo Jing", and all kinds of them are biased towards practical application. books.And music and control have also been fully developed, but the "ritual" that is most valued by Confucianism has not received much attention, and it has even been confused with divination. It is probably related to the "non-joy" and "non-life" advocated by the Mohists. (Note: Mohism's "non-music" opposes the shackles of rites and music divided into levels, and advocates the abolition of cumbersome and extravagant chime bell performances among princes and nobles, which are extremely wasteful of financial and material resources. It is aimed at the Confucian "rule the people with music", Not against the music itself.)

Looking at the various wooden armored organs and miscellaneous objects displayed in the square, Liu Sang felt more deeply the difference between "exclusive respect for Confucianism" and "great display of Mohism".It's a pity that Mohism's theory of governing the country is most easily accepted by people in troubled times, but once it settles down, various hierarchical divisions will slowly form, and will be suppressed intentionally or unintentionally by the upper class. In the midst of chaos, with the emergence of princes, nobles, and powerful families for hundreds of years, it is inevitable to decline at this moment.

Qin Qin led them into the Danqing room. The so-called Dan means cinnabar, so green means green market, which is a necessary pigment for color painting.There are about thirty young talents sitting behind the painting table, among them there are more men than women, and there are only a few women. Even though they are deeply influenced by the "Shang Tong" of Mohism, none of them wrote "Nv Commandment" and thought that women Ban Zhao, who has no talent is virtue, and the three obediences and four virtues strongly advocated by Confucianism have not been greatly promoted, but the matter of male superiority and female inferiority still exists.

It is not surprising that Wenxue Palace imitates the legacy of Jixia in the pre-Qin period, and it is quite free. People come and go.It's just that when Liu Sang entered the Danqing room, everyone's eyes moved over, but they were not looking at him, they were all looking at the two sisters behind him. Everyone has a heart of admiration. ", that is the words of Confucianism, the defense between men and women in this world is not so serious, if in the Ming Dynasty or Qing Dynasty where Confucianism ruled the country, like Liu Sang and Xia Zhaowu, you look at me**, I look at you* *, apart from marrying him, Xia Zhaowu probably has no choice but to commit suicide. Of course, even though she is a savage sister-in-law, Liu Sang is still reluctant to let her commit suicide...

Xia Yingchen's Tianxiang Country is beautiful, and when the two stand together, they can't take their eyes off the eyes of all the young talents.Xia Yingchen has long been used to such gazes and doesn't care, but Xia Zhaowu stares at them one by one.

After Qin Qin led the three of them to the empty painting table, Liu Sang sat alone, and Ying Chen and Zhao Wu sat on the same table.Xia Yingchen looked up and saw a brightly colored picture scroll hanging in front of him. The painting showed a monster and a group of mortals prostrating at the feet of the monster. They were all terrified, and the strange thing was that behind every mortal there were long, thin shadows. These shadows seemed to be there, gathered together, and looked dimly, like a bigger and more ferocious beast. But upon closer inspection, it was completely dismembered, and it was obviously powerful, but it seemed as if it didn't exist, so it was ignored by the monster.

Xia Yingchen thought to himself, this painting has profound meaning and touches a lot, but it is clear at first glance, it is not difficult at all, it is completely different from the paintings he has seen before.

Xia Zhaowu pointed at Liu Sang, turned sideways, and whispered in her sister's ear, "This painting was drawn by my brother-in-law."

The studio was originally extremely quiet, and my sister-in-law didn't deliberately lower her voice. Everyone's eyes "swept" from the two sisters to Liu Sang.

Liu Sang looked up at the ceiling... What's the matter with this sudden pressure?

A handsome young man next to him said: "This brother is..."

Qin Qin smiled: "This Mr. Liu is the owner of the two paintings my little sister brought back the day before."

"Oh?" Seeing that Liu Sang was only sixteen or seventeen years old, the handsome young man was quite surprised, and said, "I don't know Brother Liu's painting skills, where did he learn from?"

Liu Sang smiled: "It's all my little brother's own thinking, I have never paid homage to the teacher."

Is it self-taught?The handsome young man was even more surprised: "How long did Brother Liu learn to paint?"

Liu Sang did the math: "Well, it's been almost a month?"

There was an uproar in the arena, although the atmosphere in the academy was quite free, students could seek teachers freely, and doctors could recruit students independently, but in fact, all those who can stay in the academy for a long time are all talents, and the students in the Danqing Room These are young talents who are good at painting, and they will be boasted by everyone when they go outside.

To Liu Sang, in fact, everyone is full of grievances. For these young people who pursue painting as their lifelong pursuit, it is a great honor to receive a compliment from Dr. Qin, who is both excellent in calligraphy and painting.However, because of Liu Sang's two paintings a few days ago, everyone was criticized by Dr. Qin as "idiots".

This morning, Dr. Qin was supposed to teach them, but because Liu Sang might be coming, Dr. Qin didn't even attend the class, and waited blindly at his own residence.There are not few doctors in the school, but Qin Ruqu is the only one who can be called an "old doctor". From this, we can see his status in the hearts of all the students. The old doctor Qin suspended his classes just to wait for someone. Dr. Qin's pigeons were also released, and in the afternoon, Mr. Qin even went to Yingdu to find him. How could they feel so embarrassed even if Mr. Qin didn't come and dare not leave the studio?

If this person is really a talented person, that's fine. Now that we know that this young man not only has no famous teacher, but also only learned painting for a month, if such a painter who has just debuted surpasses them, he deserves so much respect from Mr. Qin. Learning to paint since childhood, Riri worked hard, did they really become "a bunch of idiots".

"On Yinglu, Xialuo County," the handsome young man stared at Liu Sang, and pointed to the front desk, "Brother Liu's "Picture of Heavenly Demons and People" took a different path, and it was so unique that I admired it a lot. We will appreciate it There are still a lot of puzzles in the way of painting, why don't Brother Liu invite you to sit down and explain the puzzles for us to teach?"

Others started to make noises, Qin Qin wanted to be a peacemaker, but couldn't help thinking: "Father-father said that these two paintings by Mr. Liu are not only the legacy of the pre-Qin Cang Wu, but also unprecedented. However, he is so young and a novice, how could he really be able to compare with the senior brothers who have invaded this way since childhood? Could it be that his adoptive father is old and dim, and he has misjudged him?" A thought arose, but he did not stop it.

Liu Sang was a little hesitant, but seeing that his wife and sister-in-law were looking over, he was somewhat suspicious. If he flinched, he might be embarrassed to raise his head in front of them again in the future.So he simply arched his hands together: "Don't dare, don't dare!"

He said "dare not", but got up on the spot and strode forward, as if he was doing his part.
