Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1162: One Thought

"Did you immediately agree to paint another one?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"When I heard what he said, I had an indescribable feeling, but I didn't agree immediately. Perhaps because he saw that my state was different from before, he said: 'The dead are gone, and only the living are left. The deadness left you the moment the painting entered the brazier, and what was left for you was spring.' I heard what he said, and I don't know why, at least for a moment, I suddenly felt as if those painful things had really disappeared, but I didn't think this feeling was enough for me to paint a painting full of spring. I said to Nian Zhuzhong: 'If that's the case, then I won't paint anymore. If I paint again, and the painting I paint is like the one just now, won't the "deadness" come back?' Nian Zhuzhong said: 'What disappeared in the brazier just now was not only the painting, but also the "deadness" itself. You have to believe that what you don't want is gone, and it's gone, and it won't come back.' I asked: 'Just thinking it's gone, can it really disappear?' Nian Zhuzhong told me: 'Entering a state, or leaving a state, One thought is enough. Then, he told me about his past. He said that the name "Nian Zhuan" was given to him by his master, who hoped that he could change his mind quickly when he was focused. He said that because he used to think about those frustrating things, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. Over time, he fell into the abyss of pain and couldn't extricate himself. He always felt that it would take a long time and be extremely difficult to extricate himself. However, his master said that if he practiced focusing on beauty, his state could change to a beautiful direction in a single thought. He said that he didn't believe it at first, but later with the help of his master, he let himself focus on beauty, and some things really changed in a single thought. After he developed such a new habit, he found that his situation was different from before. After telling me about his story, Nian Zhuan told me not to think that he couldn't paint the spring, and he didn't need to think about anything else. When painting, just focus on the four words "spring". I said it was difficult to concentrate, and he said that when I didn't think it was difficult, it was not difficult. "Tie Jinjue said, looking at the painting hanging in the meeting room.

"Then what? You painted with him?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes, he lit a stick of incense and said that this might help me concentrate. I followed his instructions and closed my eyes first, concentrating on the four words 'spring is in the air', not thinking about anything else. I don't know why, but at first there were some things in my mind that could disturb me, but later those things gradually could not compete with the four words 'spring is in the air' that I was concentrating on, and then I started to paint. While he was painting, he talked about the scenes of spring, and every word he said at that time revolved around 'spring is in the air'. While he was talking, he occasionally asked me about the beautiful state of the sun, birds, flowers, trees, and streams, and I answered him while painting. In the time between answering one question and answering the next question, the four words 'spring is in the air' were also in my mind. As I was painting, I seemed to have suddenly entered another world. At this time, I felt like I was floating like the wind, and I kept writing 'spring is in the air' in that world."
