Chapter 236 Cow Eating Grass

The Yunshui Secret Realm is composed of small worlds. Only after passing a test can you enter the world where the next test is located.

"Cultivators from Jiuzhou, welcome to the Secret Realm of the Painting Immortal. I am the divine thought left here by the Painting Immortal, Xizhi."

A beautiful voice rang in their ears, and from the voice, they could tell that the owner of the voice was a very beautiful woman. People looked around, but could not see Xizhi.

Xi Zhi smiled, somewhat playfully: "Don't look for it anymore. The Painting Immortal 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 it and realized that the system task was [Please obtain the "Breakthrough Grass" in the Cloud and Water Secret Realm], so he found the system store and said: "Buy the Breakthrough Grass."

The realm-breaking grass appeared out of thin air in Jiang Li's hand.

After all, the mission is about obtaining the breakthrough grass in the secret realm, not obtaining the breakthrough grass in the secret realm test.

[…Congratulations to the host for completing the mission]

The system reacted for a moment before determining that Jiang Li had completed the task.

【Do you want to receive the mission reward? 】

"No." Jiang Li was not in a hurry to receive the reward. He would get it anyway.

Now that you are here, you might as well say hello to the painting fairy Shennian Xizhi before leaving.

Maybe over the past few hundred years, my painting skills have improved and caught Xi Zhi's eye, and I can also pass on my legacy as a painting master.

Jiang Li felt that his painting skills were definitely better than Qin Luan's.

At that time, I was in the Jindan stage and could not control my body perfectly. It was understandable that the painting made people unable to distinguish whether it was an elephant or Yuyin.

Now that he has reached the Mahayana stage, his ability to control his body has reached the extreme. What he draws is more than just 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 use the cows in this world as the prototype and paint a work titled “Cow Eating Grass”. There is no limit to the painting style.”

Xi Zhi, who had been speaking calmly, suddenly thought of something and added with gritted teeth at the end: "But it is forbidden to draw too abstract!"

Everyone was confused, but anyone who could come here wouldn't paint too ugly, right? "The test has changed." Jiang Li remembered the test he had to go through when he came to the Yunshui Secret Realm five hundred years ago. It was also the third level of painting, something like seeing mountains as mountains and seeing water as not water, which was quite mysterious.

At that time, Xizhi was testing people's understanding of the three levels, thinking that if they had a thorough understanding of the three levels, they would be able to inherit the painting fairy's legacy.

What Xi Zhi said was mysterious, but what Jiang Li said was even more mysterious. He fooled Xi Zhi three times, and after he passed three tests, he almost inherited the art of painting.

Xi Zhi is still frightened, but fortunately she examined Jiang Li's painting ability at the last minute and did not pass on the inheritance to him.

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

Now Xizhi has learned his lesson. He doesn't need to examine the empty things. He can just compare the drawings directly. There will definitely be no problem.

The ink painters in the small town brought in documents, study tools, charcoal pencils, fruits and snacks and placed them in front of people. Since there was no limit to the genre, they naturally could not just use brushes to paint.

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

Jiang Li spread out the rice paper and fell into deep thought.

Song Ying was the first to be inspired and to study painting.

Li Er pondered for a moment and began to write.

After thinking for a while, everyone started to take action one after another.

This question was carefully thought out by Xizhi. Although the cow eating grass seems simple, it actually contains a mystery.

As soon as everyone stepped into the Yunshui Secret Realm, they saw an old cow plowing in the fields, but few people noticed that the old cow had finished plowing and walked to the side to start eating grass.

The old cow was a little happy because it was eating grass after being tired, and its tail was shaking slightly.

The saying "seeing mountains as mountains and seeing water as water" tests the observation ability of the painting monks. Whoever can draw an old cow shaking its tail while eating grass will pass the first test.

Painting originates from life and is higher than life, but before that, one must observe life first. This is the concept that the Painting Immortal has always upheld. As the Painting Immortal's divine thought, Xizhi naturally continued the Painting Immortal's concept.

Of course, the old cow is now resting aside and no longer eating grass.

If we could still see old cows chewing grass now, it wouldn’t be a test at all.

"I'm done." Qin Luan was the first to finish and raised his hand and shouted.

"Let me see if the cow's tail is shaking...where is the cow's tail?" Xi Zhi's surprised voice sounded in Qin Luan's ears.

Qin Luan drew a bull's head eating grass. There was no part below the neck. The drawing was very abstract and it was not certain whether it was a bull or not, but at least it could be seen as some kind of creature with horns.

"Cows use their tails to eat grass?" Qin Luan was even more surprised than Xi Zhi. Could it be that the cows here don't use their mouths to eat grass, but use their tails? Qin Luan suddenly felt that this ink world was terrible, and the Painting Fairy was a mentally twisted fairy.

"...You pass." Xi Zhi felt that it was because of the imperfection of his rules and did not blame Qin Luan.

"I'm done." Aguna was the second to raise her hand. She didn't know how to use a brush, so she used charcoal pencil.

"Is your cow wagging its tail?" Xi Zhi asked uncertainly.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

This was the first time for Aguna to paint, so she drew and erased, erased and drew again. She even revised the tail part more than a dozen times, resulting in visible afterimages after the final draft. The combination of the tail and the afterimage made it look like the tail was wagging.

"You pass." With Qin Luan's example, this was considered good for Aguna, and Xi Zhi reluctantly agreed to let Aguna pass.

"I've finished my painting too." Li Er was the third to raise his hand. He was full of confidence in his painting. He felt that he had a talent for painting.

"Is yours a cow?" Xi Zhi was speechless when he saw Li Er's painting.

The painting shows a woman with cow horns sitting on a table, eating grass from a bowl, and she doesn't even have a tail.

Regardless of the content, the painting is still very vivid, and it can be seen that Li Er's observation of the transformed monster is very detailed.

"Look at these horns, how come they are not from a cow?" Li Er pointed at the woman's horns and said with confidence.

If he revealed his identity directly to Xizhi, Xizhi would probably give him face and help him draw the picture.

But Li Er was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. He believed that he should satisfy the other party before asking them to do something for him. He felt that he had to pass these two hurdles.

"Why draw a transformed cow?" Xi Zhi couldn't understand Li Er's thoughts.

This time it was Li Er's turn to be confused: "Didn't you say that we should use the cows in this world as the prototype to draw a cow eating grass?"

"I said that." Xi Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Wasn't it just a picture of how cows in this world eat grass? "Since it's the original form, it means that the cows here can transform. Isn't it normal for my cow to transform?"

"…I said the prototype, not the original form."

"What's the difference?"

"Forget it, you pass." Xi Zhi covered his face helplessly in the second test world.

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

When Xi Zhi saw Jiang Li's paintings, he even wanted to curse him.

There's nothing on the paper!

"Where's your grass?"

“It was eaten by a cow.”

"Where's the cow?"

"After eating the grass, I left."

Xizhi felt that he had seen all kinds of monsters and demons in the first test.
