Under One Person: Starting from the Inheritance of Gods

Chapter 97: Divine Painting (Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me everything!)

Right after the giant mountain bear and the silver-light falcon, a gorgeous tiger emerged from the black cloud, revealing a ferocious and ferocious appearance.

The tiger roared so loudly that it could captivate the souls of the people who heard it and made them tremble with fear. Its tiger mouth was like a guillotine, cutting the corpse into two pieces. Moreover, dark winds and ghostly clouds emerged.

Not long after, another dozen elite fighters were torn apart by the countless skeleton hands of the ghost and submerged in the rolling dark wind and ghost clouds.

Afterwards, the five great immortals revealed their true forms.

"One, two, three... eight, a total of eight immortals!"

"Old Lu, the intelligence is wrong!"

Wang Ai shouted anxiously: "Those are the three great demon immortals from the previous dynasty. They have actually joined forces with the five great immortal families!"

They watched as the eight huge ferocious beasts continued to reap the lives of the younger disciples of the Wang and Lu families.

Lu Ci said anxiously, "Old Wang, don't worry about whether you can capture these immortals or not. Use your backup plan to hold them back first."

"Evacuate the people. Otherwise, if everyone is left here, both our families will be finished!"

Wang Ai immediately gritted his teeth.

He shouted loudly, "Please—God of Painting!"

What is Shentu?

Shen Tu is one of the two major schools of painting, and it is also the largest school of painting in the world and the unique skill of the Wang family.

In a nutshell, it is: ink and color, and wonderful brushwork.

In the art of painting, there are two related myths and legends.

Just like the painted wall in Pu Songling's book, the painted wall becomes a fairyland with a cave world within it; and the finishing touch is the finishing touch that allows the painting to break away from the wall.

Another example, the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State, and the Magic Painter Ma Liang!

Between the two, one emphasizes meticulous craftsmanship, while the other emphasizes artistic conception and charm.

The former formed the school of secret painting, while the latter formed the school of divine painting. Therefore, secret painting is good at landscapes, while divine painting is good at figures and living beings.

What is Tu?
When painting, the emphasis is not on form but on meaning. Just a few simple strokes can outline its charm and dynamics, emphasizing its spiritual aura!
The reason why the Wang family has been able to be passed down to this day is because of the paintings and scrolls treasured by successive Wang family members, which can serve as the family's heritage.

Paintings painted by gods are difficult to complete. They require gods to be painted by gods, and require extremely high mental and spiritual energy from people. Often a single scroll will take months or even years to complete.

It takes half a lifetime of hard work to create just a few paintings, which are accumulated from generation to generation. This is the reason why the Wang family has remained strong for thousands of years.

As soon as Wang Ai gave an order, Wang's disciples opened ten lifelike scrolls, showing a tiger descending from a mountain, a black dragon stepping on the sea, an eagle flying across the sky...

His brushwork is either old and vigorous, or majestic, or lively and agile, each is different.

The four scrolls in the middle do not depict animals but gods, namely: Zhao Gongming, the Zhao Marshal; Ma Lingyao, the Ma Marshal; Wen Qiong, the Wen Marshal; and Guan Yu, the Guan Marshal. Zhao Gongming has a black face and thick beard, wears an iron crown, rides a black tiger, and holds an iron whip. He has a round and black face and a thick beard. He rides a tiger to inspect the world and investigate whether the practitioners are loyal, filial, benevolent, and righteous.

If anyone is disloyal, unfilial, or unfraternal, he will be punished with an iron whip. His mount, the black tiger, is also a god. The black tiger is the king of all beasts and has the power to ward off evil, repel evil, and protect the law.

Ma Lingyao is the red-haired spiritual official of the Fire Bell Immortal and the Southern Fire Deity Mars. He is portrayed as a mighty warrior with a fire bead on his head, red hair, angry eyes, a red face and short beard, and wearing a red robe. He rides a red-bearded dragon and intimidates demons and monsters on earth.

Wen Qiong is the Great Spiritual Officer of Dutian. He investigates the evil in the world and eliminates harm in the human world. He holds a golden spear and a white tablet in his right hand, a plague and fire talisman in his left hand, and rides a divine tiger to hunt down harmful ghosts.

Guan Yu has a red face, long beard, phoenix eyes, and drooping eyebrows. He wears a green robe and golden armor, rides a Red Hare, holds a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his left hand, and a Seven-Star Sword in his right hand. He is loyal, brave, and righteous.

These four are the four Taoist guardians!
This is also the reason why Wang Ai has the confidence to make this trip, otherwise he would never dare to provoke the five great immortals.

Meng Fan looked through a telescope on the top of the mountain and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Where did the Wang family get their foundation? Even the famous Taoist sects probably don't have this thing!"

I saw Wang Ai cut his wrist, used his blood as ink, and combined the ink with Qi to form twenty drops of blood, which he then dotted on the pupils of the ten portraits.

With the addition of blood beads, these ten portraits seemed to have charm.

In the scroll of Ink Dragon Tide, ink-colored water vapor emerges, and a black dragon with dark scales is roaring as it is about to emerge; in the scroll of Tiger Descending the Mountain, there is a heavy snowstorm, and the white-browed tiger with hanging eyes looks fierce and aggressive.

And on the images of the four guardian marshals, there was a golden glow, radiant light, and the ink and color energy transformed into fairy air and auspicious mist. The four marshals actually "walked" out of the scroll and walked into the mortal world.

Wang Ai paid homage to the spirit in the painting, not only to pay respect to the gods, but also to pay respect to the spiritual charm left by the ancestors of the Wang family in the painting.

"Wang Ai, the unfilial descendant of the younger generation, please use the family's divine painting today to cut off the evil and exorcise the demons!"

As Wang Ai finished speaking, the four guardian marshals seemed to respond to his call. Their figures became more solid, and they were surrounded by a faint stream of Danqing Qi, majestic and inviolable.

Zhao Gongming rode a black tiger and swung his iron whip, thunder rumbling in the air as if it could scare away all evil spirits; Ma Lingyao stepped on a red-bearded dragon, fire bells jingled, and his hot breath drove away the dark winds and ghostly clouds around him; Wen Qiong held a golden spear in his hand, his eyes were like torches, and wherever he went, all evil spirits were dispersed; Guan Yu swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and everything fled wherever the blade pointed.

The eight demon immortals were suddenly shocked by this sudden change, especially because their pure sacred majesty actually restrained their own demonic energy.

Wang Ai and Lu Ci felt relieved upon seeing this and immediately ordered the remaining disciples of the Wang and Lu families to retreat in an orderly manner.

Those disciples who were originally forced to retreat step by step by the immortals were finally able to catch their breath under the protection of the four marshals and evacuated to a safe area.

"Old Wang, it seems that your Wang family's magic painting technique can really restrain these beasts!" Lu Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a hint of relief in his tone.

"Humph, this is the thousand-year-old foundation of our Wang family. How can it be easily shaken by these beasts!"

Wang Ai snorted coldly, but his eyes flashed with solemnity: "However, we can't take it lightly. After all, these beasts have lived for thousands of years. They are definitely not so easy to deal with."

As he was speaking, the Saker Falcon replaced the Golden-winged Roc's divine nature, and suddenly the ferocious bird's demonic power emerged, and it used its sharp claws to directly scratch the Black Dragon, and the Black Dragon turned directly into a ball of ink cloud and dissipated.

Black Bear King also replaced the Black Bear spirit, and flattened the white-browed tiger with hanging eyes that was transformed from the tiger descending the mountain with one claw, and then roared: "Humph, it's all fake, I almost thought it was someone from the Heavenly Court who came."

Seeing how ferocious the two demon fairies were, Wang Ai's forehead was covered with cold sweat for a moment. It seemed that his family's foundation was like a piece of window paper!
