Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 359: Kunpeng Map, I’ll pay double!
Yu Ke picked up the brush and dipped it in ink. The ink dripped onto the white rice paper like night dew, spreading a black color.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, and the memories of Xie Guan flooded into his mind like a tide. The pen in his hand seemed to be integrated with his soul, and there was no hesitation in his writing.

The memories of the past few years surged in his mind. He pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

With a turn of the pen, he drew a long line on the paper.

Li Xiangjun and others had just witnessed the strange scene when Xie Guan was painting, and now they gathered around, holding their breath and concentrating.

Zhou Yuner looked down and saw the ink on the white paper spreading out like ripples, as if it contained endless vitality.

Yu Ke was born with the destiny of "spirit in the pen". There is divine will flowing between his pen and ink, and every stroke seems to inject spiritual energy into the paper.

Jia Yu and the other two were also staring intently. The white paper was surging with waves, and their eyes were filled with wonder.

"There is... a divine charm in Master Guan's writing!"

Although it was the second time Jia Yu saw it, there was still disbelief in his eyes.

This kind of miraculous writing is really astonishing.

Yu Ke's hands never stopped.

A few strokes were drawn, and a few curves appeared, creating surging waves.

Zhang Yuanlai had already seen clearly what the scene was.

"Is this... the sea?"

Da Qi has a vast territory and borders the sea to the east.

The coast of the East China Sea is a famous estuary, and the first place to set out to sea in search of immortals is from here.

Most people in Da Qi also know that "beyond the mountains there are mountains, beyond the sky there is the sea."

Yu Ke "brush away" a few strokes, like a long wind blowing obliquely.

A few strokes of the pen fell like heavy rain.

Under the violent storm.

The scene on the white paper was like a strong wind blowing, stirring up huge waves like a mountain and the sea, with raging waves.

The heavy rain poured down, pushing the sea surface to shake!
In this turbulent sea, every wave is like a sculptured work of art. They are sometimes as high as mountains, sometimes as low as valleys, with various shapes and unpredictable changes.

Yu Ke's pen never paused, and his writing flowed freely like smooth clouds and running water.

In the painting of the turbulent sea, he suddenly changed the style of his brush, lightly touched a few strokes of ink under the layers of waves, and then quickly outlined a few more strokes.

He Xiao's eyes closely followed every change on the scroll, and he suddenly felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

He saw clearly that in this vast "ocean" something extraordinary was being nurtured.

Unable to help himself, he murmured in a low voice with a hint of disbelief: "It's... a big fish! Could there really be such a huge creature hiding in the deep sea?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ke added a few more strokes, and a strange scene suddenly appeared in the painting!

The looming existence gradually revealed its true appearance in the churning waves - the back of a huge fish, cutting through the waves like a giant mountain, majestic and shocking.

He painted lightly, and each stroke seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, freezing on paper the moment when the giant fish broke through the waves.

The shape of the fish was clearly that of a fish, yet it was incredibly huge beyond imagination.

Everyone present stared with bated breath.

Jia Yu's eyes flashed with memories, and he spoke slowly, "Ancient books record that there is a giant fish in the sea called a whale, which is as big as a mountain and swims in the deep sea."

The big fish slowly emerged, and its shape was finally fully revealed to everyone.

What a huge fish it was! A slight swing of its tail stirred up huge waves and the ocean was surging.

Everyone's exclamations came one after another.

Jia Yu and others also looked surprised. This scene undoubtedly attracted the attention of Chen Mu and Chen Yong.

As Chen Yong walked over, everyone naturally moved aside to make a passage for him.

"This is... a whale!"

"The whale is a giant fish in the sea. It swims in the deep blue sea, swims in the current, sinks its gills in the vast sea, and drops its tail under the raging waves."

Chen Yong's eyes were full of shock, but the young man kept writing without stopping.

At this moment, another miracle happened!
The whale actually grew a pair of wings. When its wings were spread, it looked like clouds in the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. It was a spectacular sight.

The body of the big fish actually grew a beak and spread its wings, and the feathers on its wings sparkled with golden light, dazzling and brilliant.

Rush out to the sea and fight the wind and waves!
Jia Yu's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Could this be a Peng bird?"

"The Peng bird, brushing its feathers, drinking and pecking at will, folding its wings between the vast heaven and earth, stretching its neck beside the magnificent rivers and seas, a pair of ducks riding on a wild goose, cannot compare to its majestic appearance..."

Chen Yong chanted slowly, with a hint of amazement in his voice.

Chen Mu looked at the surprise on the face of his eleventh brother Chen Yong, and his face was also full of confusion.

Although Chen Yong was weak and sickly, he had profound attainments in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting. He was extremely intelligent since childhood and studied hard, making him a leader among many princes.

Besides, his mother's family was from the northern nobility, and they had broad vision. How could they not have seen rare toys in the world?

The red jade and ivory sent from the southern Buddhist kingdom and the fine horses from the northern Eternal Heaven were nothing special in his eyes and were not worth the sight.

It is rare that the paintings painted by Xie Guan could shock Chen Yong.

He involuntarily walked closer to the table and looked at it carefully.

"This……"

Chen Mu looked at the scene on the white paper and saw the whale transform into a peng bird. The peng bird changed again and lurked in the waves, changing unpredictably.

Chen Yong said in a deep voice: "This is Kunpeng!"

"In the North Sea there is a fish called Kun. Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousand miles it is. It changes into a bird called Peng. Peng's back is so big that no one knows how many thousand miles it is. When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds drooping from the sky."

Jia Yu also murmured to himself: "The Kun in the sea is like the embryo of the Great Saint nurtured in the body of the Great Dao. Just like the great Kun, it cannot be nurtured and grown without the vastness of the North Sea."

Chen Mu stared at the painting. Amid the turbulent waves, a huge fish was lurking in the water, rising and falling, and then suddenly flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.

This painting seems to contain the spiritual charm of heaven and earth, slowly changing and dazzling.

The children around them exclaimed over the adults' shoulders: "The painting is moving!"

The child's voice is tender and full of surprise.

Chen Yong looked up upon hearing this, and saw that the young man had stopped writing and was dipping his brush in ink again, preparing to write an inscription on the left side of the white paper.

The scenes under his brush are magnificent, like dancing dragons and snakes.

When Chen Yong saw it, he couldn't help but applaud: "What a great handwriting, so powerful and majestic!"

Yu Ke kept writing, writing slowly.

"People today do not know a tree that reaches the sky. Only when it reaches the sky do people realize how tall it is."

"The roc's wings hang low in the sky, laughing at the world, which is nothing."

Every word is precious!

Chen Yong muttered to himself, savoring it over and over again: "People at that time did not recognize the towering tree until it reached the sky, and then people knew it was high..."

His eyes sparkled with admiration, "What a great word, with a profound meaning."

Chen Mu frowned and stared at the drawing above, only to see that it seemed to be slowly changing. He concentrated his mind and saw the sea was surging and the big fish slowly transformed into a big roc. He stared again and saw that it had turned back into a whale.

This painting actually contains the magical scene of "Kunpeng Transformation".

Such a painting! Yu Ke gently put down the pen and placed it on the bookshelf, his movements unhurried.

Zhou Yuner carefully blew away the ink on the paper, fearing that this rare masterpiece would be destroyed.

Recalling that Xie Guan’s previous painting “Exploring the Dragon’s Head in the Clouds and Mist” was already extremely precious, this painting not only possesses the strange beauty of change, but also has Xie Guan’s inscription to complement it, making its value even higher.

Chen Yong turned his eyes away from the picture and turned to Xie Guan, asking doubtfully, "Master Guan, could this be the legendary Kunpeng?"

“I wonder what the meaning of this painting is?”

Yu Ke nodded slightly, "Your Highness Yong, this painting is of Kunpeng, a mythical beast in legend."

"'The future is unpredictable, but Kunpeng will change.' Ancient books record that Kunpeng feeds on dragons and phoenixes, flies 100,000 miles across the water, and soars up to the sky."

After hearing this, Chen Yong was stunned and exclaimed: "Eating dragons and phoenixes, it is really... a divine creature!"

The dragon is the king of all beasts in the world and is unattainable.

Even in the mortal world, he is likened to an emperor on earth.

As Jia Yu gazed at Xie Guan's paintings, his sense of wonder grew stronger.

Although Xie Guan’s brushwork may not be perfect, the charm of the painting is so vivid that it is difficult to look away.

In comparison, his own tiger painting was rather poor. Jia Yu couldn't help but blush, remembering that he had just competed with Xie Guan in painting skills.

After Xie Mu finished looking at the painting, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Although this painting is extraordinary, it is worth four million taels? You are not joking, are you?"

Yuan Yue, who had been following Xie Mu, also walked closer to the table and casually glanced at the "Kunpeng Picture" on it.

After taking one more look, she no longer cared and continued to pour out a handful of melon seeds from the brocade bag at her waist, held them in her hand, and started to eat them leisurely.

Chen Mu sneered, "A painting is worth four million taels. Xie Guan, do you think anyone would really be willing to pay that much?"

After hearing this, Li Xiangjun couldn't help but nodded. Although Xie Guan's paintings were indeed extraordinary, the price of four million taels was indeed staggering.

After all, the truly priceless paintings in this world are often created by famous people.

She recalled the "Lu Chen's handwritten letter" that was unearthed from the ancient tomb of Dayan. Because of its long history and Lu Chen's prominent reputation, the letter was sold at a sky-high price and was eventually purchased by a wealthy businessman from the Sui Dynasty for a high price of 10 million taels.

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree, deep and lasting.

There is only one land sinking in the world.

And Xie Guan is just a young boy who studies quietly in a small courtyard?

Xie Guan is not Lu Chen!
Zhang Yuanlai was also vaguely worried about what Chen Mu, the Thirteenth Prince, said.

Either we devalue Xie Guan's paintings so that no one dares to buy them, otherwise they will be taken advantage of.

When Chen Yong was about to speak, a man's voice suddenly sounded.

"Master Guan, this painting is worth four million taels, right?"

"I want it!"

Chen Mu turned his head abruptly and saw a familiar figure walking quickly towards him amid the bustle of the banquet.

This man was already an adult, with a purple gold crown on his head to hold his hair together, a golden headband with a pattern of two dragons fighting for a pearl tied to his eyebrows, a red arrow-sleeve robe with two-color golden butterflies and flowers, and a pair of small court boots with a green satin and pink base. His entire outfit showed how noble and extraordinary his status was.

However, the only flaw is that his appearance can only be described as handsome, with protruding ears and extremely large earlobes, which add a bit of funnyness to his look.

The person who came was Su Yun!

Su Yun ignored Chen Mu and Chen Yong. Instead, when he saw Yuan Yue, he was surprised and asked curiously, "Yuan Sanmei, why are you here?"

Su Yun was already accustomed to Yuan Yue's habits and knew that she was a person who could not stop talking.

In the past, because I always ate cakes and rock candy, I damaged my good teeth and was often teased by people around me.

From then on, she dared not smile anymore.

In order to satisfy her appetite, Yuan Yue's parents asked her to eat melon seeds instead, which she carried with her every day.

The Su family and the Yuan family also have close contacts, so naturally they know the Third Miss Yuan.

Su Yun knew very well that Yuan Yue, who looked cute and adorable, was actually a captain in the Demon Slaughtering Division, and had established a firm foothold in the Demon Slaughtering Division with her outstanding military achievements.

She had killed several great demons with her own hands, and her strength should not be underestimated.

The Thirteenth Prince Chen Mu had always intended to make friends with the Yuan family, so he had already quietly contacted the Third Miss Yuan, Yuan Yue.

Yuan Yue was wearing a palace skirt, looking pretty and cute. She just smiled at Su Yun without saying a word, and continued to peel the melon seeds in her hand with her head down.

Seeing this, Chen Mu frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Su Yun, why are you here to join in the fun?"

Chen Yong had a smile on his face, as if he already knew Su Yun's character.

"Mr. Yun, you are indeed a person who can't sit still."

Su Yun bought the painting drawn by Xie Guan without even seeing it.

He looked at Chen Mu sharply, "Chen Mu, Xie Guan is a member of the Caotang Poetry Society. How dare you humiliate me like this when there is no one at the Caotang Poetry Society?"

Su Yun is the eldest son of the second branch of the Su family, and his grandfather is the powerful Prime Minister Su.

Under the influence of Prime Minister Su, even the royal family Chen had to swallow their anger. Therefore, Su Yun called Chen Mu by his name, and everyone present did not think there was anything wrong with it. After all, in terms of status, Chen Mu was indeed lower than Su Yun.

In the eyes of the people of Bianliang, there was no difference between the royal family and the nine major surnames.

Today, Xie Guan made the Caotang Poetry Festival famous. Su Yun was extremely happy and left Yaoxian Tower in advance to thank Guan.

I didn't expect to see such a scene.

Chen Mu's face turned gloomy in an instant. He didn't expect that Xie Guan actually had a friendship with Su Yun.

Su Yun was well-known for protecting his people. With Prime Minister Su as his backer, many princes in Bian Jing had to stay away from him. Naturally, Chen Mu did not want to offend him easily.

"Su Yun, you have to think it through."

"How could this painting be worth four million taels?"

Su Yun snorted nonchalantly, "No matter how many paintings Master Guan has, I'll take them all."

Zhang Yuanlai's face lit up with joy when he saw this.

He had long known that Xie Guan and Su Yun had a close relationship. Now that he saw Su Yun helping Xie Guan so much, he felt more reassured.

However, just then!

A woman's voice sounded at the right time.

"If Master Su Yun doesn't want it, I wonder if I can give it up."

"I'll pay double."

Chen Mu recognized the voice, turned around, and his eyes fell on the path between the tables.

A woman of about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a golden phoenix crown, was speaking in a clear voice.

Next to the woman was a man in purple sable fur, who smiled and said:
"Linxi, don't rush ahead."

"My second brother didn't want the painting just now, so don't come and take what I love again."

Chen Mu's face looked bad. The people who came were the Second Emperor Chen Fengzi and Princess Linxi.

He is the rival of Prince Yan on his way to the throne.

"Second brother, I wonder if you can give this painting to me."

A voice came like a spring breeze!
