Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2491 (two thousand four hundred and ninety-one) or

Li Pingrun told Tie Jinjue how to make the changes, and Tie Jinjue made the changes in the painting strictly according to what he said.

As Tie Jinjue was revising the document, he thought: Why is he asking me to change in a direction that is not like Le Yueyang? This is really strange!

He suddenly remembered what Li Pingrun said when he saw his painting of a cactus in the sun in Hongfeng Hall, and thought: Could it be that the painting he saw was different from the painting we saw? Just like before, when my men and I saw the painting I drew, the painting was a cactus in the sun in our eyes, but in the eyes of this Taoist priest, there was no sun in the painting, and the cactus was just some kind of "thorny thing" that was not a cactus. Now, the reason why he asked me to change in a direction that was not like Le Yueyang was because the scene he saw in the painting was different from the scene I saw in the painting? But if what he saw was different, how different was it? If the difference was as big as when he saw the cactus in the sun, then after he had just painted a part, how did he paint the other part based on the part he had already painted? How did they connect? Also, he told me that although the changes he made would make the person in the painting look even less like Le Yueyang, the places he pointed out were indeed the places where something was drawn on the paper. He never pointed to a blank space and said to me, "Make this line thicker," nor did he ask me to use a place where something was already drawn as a blank space. What's going on? Did he say those things after looking at the cactus in the sun because he was in a different situation from the one we saw in the painting, or did he say that on purpose? From the look on his face, it didn't seem like he said that on purpose at all. He seemed quite serious and thought I was joking with him. Besides, I had never offended him. Not only did he have no grudges against me, he also thanked me and wanted to give me something. Although I didn't accept it, I felt that he wanted to give it to me sincerely, and it wasn't just a casual remark. He shouldn't lie to me on purpose under such circumstances. Besides, he also knew that I was asked to paint with him because it was a task assigned by the tribe leader. He always did things that the tribe leader asked him to do seriously. He would never deliberately paint Le Yueyang differently from what he saw in the Guanji fan to deceive the tribe leader. I think that whether it was when he saw the cactus in the sun or when he asked me to modify his painting, his performance should be real. However, his performance when he saw the painting at different times made people feel that it was not the performance of the same person. Why couldn't he see the sun in my painting, but could he accurately tell me which position in his painting to modify? Could it be that... the degree of difference between the scene he saw when he looked at different paintings and the actual scene in the previous painting was different? Or, the situation when he saw other people's paintings was different from that when he saw his own painting? Could it be that... although the content he saw when he looked at anyone's painting seemed to be different from that of others, but the different situations were different? If the situation when he saw other people's paintings was different from that when he saw his own painting, then what would the scene in the painting he saw be like after I modified his painting?

While Tie Jinjue was revising the painting, he glanced at Li Pingrun's expression and felt that he seemed very satisfied with his revisions.
