When it ca horses, the artwork co the best
Back in those days, the Underhand Sect had stolenhorses created by old mister Xu As Le Xiaobai always tried to assu replicas of these paintings every single day But in the eyes of Wu Qi, Le Xiaobai was actually trying to produce counterfeit paintings to con so horses which Le Xiaobai had arduously practiced for many years had been beautifully recreated by Wu Qi today, and it si paper with the length of thirty feet and the width of ten feet, using a large brush as thick as an adult's ar horses, each with different expressions, were splendidly drawn by Wu Qi The stature of these horses was strong and healthy, there was a glea out frohtiness and liveliness was leaping out fro out from the paper at any time With merely ink strokes of various thickness, Wu Qi had drawn out seven fine horses which gave all viewers a feeling as if they were painted with er be described as a skill, but it was alical ability as a Human Immortal and branded a tiny thread of his divine sense into the painting, thus giving the effect of stirring one's soul to this painting
When a few youngit on a long pole, displaying in front of all few thousand men on the platform, shrieks of shock and amazement immediately broke out like a sudden thunderclap They were so loud that even the surrounding water beca Sos, they were gazing at the seven galloping horses on the painting with amazement Then suddenly, tears flowed down fro their chests and sta loudly like a child
Each of the for several dozens of years, yet their achievements could not even be co his adulthood How e was that?
Like a proud little Peacock, Princess Zhang Le stood beside Wu Qi triu her arms on the hips She tilted her pretty tiny chin uphile snorting a few times at Yu Qianqian, who now bore a wan expression on her face Wu Qi had composed three poems with a style totally different from the current trend of Great Yan Dynasty, yet they were beautiful, refreshing, and extraordinary Together with this grand painting of galloping horses, she felt she was noering in a great honor and glory!
In the past years, every ti of poe, Yu Qianqian alwaysto ad every year Fortunately, she got Wu Qi co back all her lost honor in the for Le twisted her little waist Her long dress spun and spread out like a large dazzling flower of green, then she let out a glorified laugh and said, "Who else wishes to co and poetry with Marquis Tianyun? I'll have a reward too If any of you can defeat Marquis Tianyun, I'll acco for three days! Hohoho!" As she was too happy with the result, Princess Zhang Le hardly refrained herself and let out a winning laugh However, as she was overexcited, the loud laugh actually forced out froh, and even she herself was taken aback by it
The five colored divine rays gradually spread out behind Princess Zhang Le As she was having a good mood now, each of the colors beco out fro several thousand feet into the sky The surrounding water of the river become calm and flat like a mirror Yet, underneath the s white were countless vortexes the size of a hu Le
Yu Qianqian was looking at the grand andhorses while the expression on her face kept shifting like the clouds At last, she forced out a brief smile on her face and said towards Wu Qi, "Marquis Wu is indeed a great artist This painting of galloping horses is bold and ih"
The divine rays of five colors behind Princess Zhang Le retracted, suddenly transfor into a five-colored ball of chaos She was like a little hen who had all her feathers plucked away by so ue with Yu Qianqian Not delicate enough? What do you iven out by you was drawing of galloping horses, not so Le, threw a look over at Yu Qianqian who had her eyes glinting He smiled, then said with an indifferent voice, "Not delicate enough? You're right, these horses looked bold and grand, and only us, the men who have killed people and set fire to houses could ever appreciate the miss Yu Qianqian, who is nurtured in a flower nursery, of course you cannot understand the lofty sentiive you delicate!"
He laughed and ordered soood quality brocade on top of the table Then, he requested a set of tiny brushes and paints of myriad colors He personally mixed a few colors, after which, he picked up the tiny brush and began painting on the brocade, stroke by stroke
He wanted to create a delicate painting, a luxurious andthat even Yu Qianqian could not find out any flaws in So, the best option was the painting of rare birds created by E dynasty [2] Just like oldhorses, Underhand Sect also possessed a few of Es, and Le Xiaobai had recopied thele stroke, style, color, had almost become his second nature What Wu Qi did was to copy exactly what Le Xiaobai did in the past, and as a Human Immortal himself, he had an excellent control over his muscles, which simply turned him into a laser copier Within just a short one hour, he had replicated a painting of a rare bird
It was a painting of a golden pheasant with gorgeous feathers and lively expressions, standing and resting on a flowering branch[3] The painting was created following a very strict, conscientious and meticulous style The color was vibrant and luscious, filled with a strong luxurious i with a long pole and displayed to everyone, a loud claain broke out on the wooden platforering pace, looking like wanting to squeeze the All few thousands ofthe place into a state of chaos
Suddenly, Princess Zhang Le's eyes ide The five colored divine rays on her back thrust towards the crowd, sending a powerful force and pushed back all the young men in white With a stern voice, she cried out, "What are you rushing for? Why are you creating such a scene? This painting belongs to e it or crumble even just a tiny bit, her towards the river, unleashing a dazzling thunderbolt the size of a bowl that impacted forcefully onto the surface of the water with a loud booe hole with the diaing up a huge wave that was several hundred feet tall
With that, nobody dared totheir glances over at the two paintings, and a perfect silence reigned So under their breath, repeatedly reciting the three poems which Wu Qi 'co, Wu Qi had given all of the none of theain
With a lifeless expression, Yu Qianqian stared at both paintings with totally different styles Her face turned red, then pale, then green Her body was shivering, and even after a very long time, she seemed unable to come out with any words At last, after nearly fifteen ave Wu Qi a rather blank look Hastily, Wu Qi waved his hands and said, "Big sister Yu, please don't askrelated to ancient books and records Wu Qi is just a wild es I can still recite a few poems and draw a few rare birds, yet if you want e worldly affairs, Wu Qi has no wit in those"
He then cupped his fist, dragged Princess Zhang Le who had her face melted in a smile, and walked back toward the ferry If not for the sake of Princess Zhang Le's face, Wu Qi would not want to waste his time with this bunch of fools, who claimed themselves as some cultured people, who appeared to have eaten tooto show off their air of elegance and prestige by discussing poe ago, and there was a great deal of Human Imest So, did he really have a lot of free ti with this group of youngimportant to do?
