Chapter 236 Cow Eating Grass

  The secret realm of Yunshui is surrounded by small worlds. Only after one test can one lead to the world where the next test is located.

   "Cultivators from Kyushu, welcome to the secret realm of Huaxian. I am the divine mind of Huaxian staying here, Xizhi."

   There was a pleasant voice in my ears, and it could be heard from the voice that the owner of the voice was a very beautiful woman. People looked around, but they couldn't see Xizhi's figure.

   Xizhi smiled, a little playful: "Don't look for it, the painting fairy divides painting into three realms, and the cloud and water secret realm also has three corresponding tests. I am in the world of the second test. If you want to see me, please pass the first test."

  Jiang Li thought about the system task saying [Please get "Breakthrough Grass" in Yunshui Secret Realm], so he found the system store: "Buy Boundary Grass."

  Breakthrough Grass appeared in Jiang Li's hands out of thin air.

   After all, the task is about obtaining the breaking grass in the secret realm, not getting the breaking grass in the secret test.

  【...Congratulations to the host for completing the task】

  The system reacted for a while before judging that Jiang Li had completed the task.

  【Are you receiving mission rewards? 】

   "No." Jiang Li was not in a hurry to receive the reward, since the reward would not run away anyway.

  Since you are here, you might as well say hello to Nian Xizhi, the painting fairy god, before leaving.

  Maybe over the past few hundred years, I have been good at painting skills, and I have caught Xizhi's eyes, and I have also given myself a painting fairy inheritance.

  Jiang Li felt that he was better at painting than Qin Luan.

  At that time, I was in the golden elixir stage, and I couldn't perfectly control my body. The painting made people unable to distinguish whether it was an elephant or a jade, which is understandable.

   Now that I am in the Mahayana period, my ability to control the body has reached the extreme, and what I draw is more than a circle, it is a perfect circle that conforms to 3.1415926...

   "The first level of painting is to see mountains as mountains and water as water. Please take the cows in this world as the prototype and draw a work with the title "Cow Eating Grass". There is no limit to the genre of painting."

  Xi Zhi, who had a calm tone, somehow thought of something, but changed his tone, and added a sentence at the end: "But it is forbidden to draw too abstractly!"

  Everyone is confused, but those who can come here will not draw too ugly, right?

   "The form of the test has changed." Jiang Li recalled that the test he came to the Yunshui Secret Realm 500 years ago was also a triple realm of painting. It was quite absurd to see that mountains are mountains and water is not water.

  At that time, Xizhi tested people's understanding of these three realms, thinking that if they had a thorough understanding of these three realms, they would also be able to obtain the inheritance of painting immortals.

  Xizhi said something mysterious, Jiang Li said something more mysterious than her, he fooled Xizhi three times, passed the triple test, and almost got the inheritance of the painting fairy.

  Xizhi still has lingering fears. Fortunately, she inspected Jiang Li's painting ability at the last moment and did not pass it on to him.

   Otherwise, the reputation of the painting fairy will be ruined.

  Now that Xi Zhichang has taught me a lesson, it will definitely be no problem to compare the painting directly without examining the imaginary.

  The ink painters in the small town brought copybooks, four treasures of the study, charcoal brushes, melon and fruit snacks, and placed them in front of people. Since there are no restrictions on genres, naturally they can't just use brushes to paint.

   "The time limit is two hours, starting now."

  Jiang Li spread out the rice paper, lost in thought.

  Song Ying was the first to have the inspiration to polish the painting.

  Li Er pondered for a moment, and then began to write.

  After thinking for a while, everyone moved one after another.

   This question was carefully thought out by Xizhi. It seems simple to eat grass, but it actually contains a mystery.

  As soon as everyone stepped into the secret realm of Yunshui, they saw the old cows plowing in the field, but few people noticed that the old cows that had finished plowing went to the side and began to graze.

  Because of eating grass after being tired, the old cow was a little happy, and his tail shook slightly.

  The so-called seeing mountains as mountains and seeing water as water is a test of the observation ability of Taoist painters. Whoever can draw the scene of an old cow wagging its tail while eating grass will pass the first test.

  Painting originates from life and is higher than life, but before that, one must first observe life. This is the concept that Huaxian has always adhered to. Xizhi, as a painting fairy, naturally continues the concept of Huaxian.

  Of course, now the old cow has rested aside and no longer eats grass.

   If you can still see old cows gnawing grass now, what kind of test is it?

   "I'm done." Qin Luan shouted after finishing the painting first.

   "Let me see if the cow's tail is shaking... Where's the cow's tail?" Xizhi's surprised voice rang in Qin Luan's ear.

  Qin Luan drew a cow's head grazing. There is no place below the neck. The painting is very abstract. I'm not sure if it's a cow, but at least it can be seen that it is some kind of creature with horns.

   "Cows eat grass and still use their tails?" Qin Luan was more surprised than Xizhi. Could it be that the cows here don't use their mouths to eat grass, but use their tails instead?

  Suddenly, Qin Luan felt that the ink painting world was terrifying, and Huaxian was a fairy with a twisted mind.

   "...you pass." Xizhi felt that it was because of his imperfect regulations, not Qin Luan.

   "I'm done." Aguna raised her hand the second time. She doesn't know how to use a brush, but draws with charcoal.

   "Are you wagging your tail?" Xizhi asked uncertainly.

  Aguna was exposed to painting for the first time, so she painted and rubbed, rubbed and painted, and changed the tail part more than a dozen times, resulting in afterimages that could still be seen after finishing the draft.

   "It's your pass." With Qin Chaos in front, Aguna was fine, Xizhi reluctantly agreed to Aguna's pass.

   "I've finished painting too." Li Er was the third to raise his hand, full of confidence in his painting, and he felt that he was quite talented in painting.

   "Your one is a cow?" Xizhi was speechless when he saw Li Er's painting.

  In the painting, a woman with horns is sitting on a table, eating grass with a bowl, without even a tail.

  Aside from the content, the painting is still very vivid, and it can be seen that Li Er has observed the monsters in great detail.

   "Look at this horn, why isn't it a cow?" Li Er pointed to the woman's horn, confidently.

   Prove your identity to Xizhi directly, and Xizhi will probably sell his face and help him paint.

   But Li Er is a face-saving person. He feels that he must satisfy the other party before asking for help. He feels that he has to pass two checkpoints no matter what.

   "Why do you want to draw a transformed cow?" Xizhi couldn't understand Li Er's thoughts.

  This time it is Li Er's turn to be puzzled: "Didn't you say that the cows in this world are used as the prototype to draw cows eating grass?"

   "I said it." Xizhi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Isn't it just painting how cows eat grass in this world?

   "Since it is the original form, it means that the cow here can change form. Isn't my cow form normal?"

  “…I said archetype, not original form.”

"What's the difference?"

   "Forget it, you passed." Xizhi, who was in the second test world, covered his face helplessly.

   "I've finished drawing too." Jiang Li was the fourth to raise his hand.

  Seeing Jiang Li's painting, Xizhi even has the desire to curse people.

   Nothing on paper!

   "Where's your grass?"

   "Eat by a cow."

   "Where's the cow?"

   "After eating grass and leaving."

   Xizhi felt that he saw all kinds of monsters and ghosts in the first test.
