Chapter 99 The Celebration Begins

Bathing in the Misty Rain of Weilong City

Weilong City in June ushered in a grand birthday celebration of the painting saint Lu Xiuyuan.

On this day, the street was full of lively crowds who came to participate in the grand ceremony. Fighters, who were rarely seen in the past, gathered in this remote city, and a single signboard could overwhelm four or five people.

Vendors are hawking goods for the occasion on both sides of the street.Holy fate cakes, melons and fruits and snacks used to worship the saint of painting.Among them, seasonal fruits and plums are the best sellers, and vegetarian noodle soup is also something that everyone comes to try.

Under the guidance of Master Gongyang, Gu Qingzhou wore white clothes. It is said that Lu Huasheng likes to wear white clothes, so that it is easier to attract the liking of the remaining consciousness of the painting saint, and to gain more inheritance of painting skills.

Gu Qingzhou originally wanted to go out with Master Gongyang, but was rejected by Gongyangyi.In the past, the other party was always invited to the VIP table, but this time because of the sharp drop in cultivation, he declined the invitation of Lord Bai to co-host the ceremony, so he didn't want to go out and squeeze in the crowd.Even if there are four ghosts to carry Buyu, the other party is unwilling, and only intends to stay in the mansion.

Seeing Gong Yangyi's firm attitude, Gu Qingzhou went out by himself.

He walked all the way, always felt that he had forgotten something, and when he passed the signboard of "Yunlai Inn", he remembered that Tao Chu had invited him to participate in the celebration, saying that he was staying in this inn and would not leave until after the celebration.

The other party should be in the inn now, right?

Gu Qingzhou was hesitating whether to go in and find the other party for company, when he saw Tao Chu walking out of the inn gate with a proud and confident step, dressed in gorgeous and complicated clothes.

Although the eyes can't distinguish colors, Gu Qingzhou understands that the gorgeous clothes must be extremely bright in color by looking at the reactions of passers-by.

According to Master Gongyang, combined with Tao Chu's golden attire in the past, it is not difficult for Gu Qingzhou to deduce that today's Young Master Tao is also a shining human-shaped walking signboard.

Gu Qingzhou is used to keeping a low profile.He was dressed in white today, inconspicuous in the crowd.Even his cloak was chosen in silver color.Seeing that the other party was so flamboyant, Gu Qingzhou tightened the cloak that covered his face, and wanted to pretend that he didn't see this person, and quickly passed by the door of Yunlai Inn.

However, he did not get his wish.

"Thank you, Xiao Gu!" Gu Qingzhou didn't take two steps before he heard Tao Chu calling him.As soon as he turned around, Young Master Tao's arm had already stepped forward to wrap around his shoulder.

"Are you here to look for me? I just went out." Tao Chuxin said happily, "I'm still thinking, if you don't come, will I go to find you secretly?"

"Looking for me? Do you know where I live?" Gu Qingzhou asked curiously.

Tao Chu nodded and said, "Actually, I was already at the gate of Wang's Medical Center, and I ran into you twice. It's just that I didn't have time to say hello the second time, so..." I was blocked by that damned evil painter Qin Wuji!

Tao Chu didn't want to talk about such a disappointing topic. He didn't even intend to tell the other party that Qin Wuji was also in Weilong City, and was even very close to the other party.

When Tao Chu said this, Gu Qingzhou was a little impressed.

He suddenly said: "A few days ago, I went to grab medicine, and I vaguely heard someone calling me, so it was you."

"It's me!" Young Master Tao said proudly, "I was afraid of admitting the wrong person, so I went to the medical clinic to ask the doctor in charge. The doctor knew that the person I was looking for was you after hearing the description."

From the angle of Gu Qingzhou's raised face, Tao Chu saw the redness between the other's brows, and said with a bright smile, "This white dress really suits you."

Gu Qingzhou looked at the Doutushi passing by all over the street, and at a glance, seven or eight of them were wearing white.

He then revealed to the other party a secret that is almost known to everyone: "I heard that Lu Huasheng likes white clothes, and it is easier to get inheritance if you wear them this way. Do you want to change your clothes?"

"No!" Tao Chu resolutely shook his head and said, "I am Huang Ji Huixin. Although gold is born in the five elements, but without Baijin Huixin, the chance of getting inheritance is not great. It's better to wear the clothes I like."

Gu Qingzhou slandered, from the beginning of the acquaintance, all the clothes of the other party are golden, maybe there is no other clothes to change?But since other people like it so much, they don't care about inheritance at all, so they can wear it however they want.

He nodded and smiled and said, "You are right. But I want to fight for it."

Tao Chu couldn't help showing a trace of pity on his face.

The days of folk painters are difficult, and there are too few opportunities to make progress.The other party's health is not good...

Although the doctor in charge of the Wang's Medical Center did not reveal what medicine the other party had bought at all, but went to the hospital every three days, Tao Chu knew that the other party was not in good health.

He felt that the other party's complexion was worse than when they separated last time.If he can be promoted to a higher realm and get the chance to wash his marrow after breaking through, his body will also improve. No wonder the other party is so determined to visit a famous teacher.

"Sorry." He said suddenly.

Gu Qingzhou looked at the other party suspiciously, and his moist eyes revealed inquiries.

"I shouldn't have blamed everyone last time." Tao Chu admitted his mistake, "After entering Weilong City, I saw his paintings in the painting studio. Make unreasonable comments."

A smile appeared on Gu Qingzhou's face.The Tao Chu he saw always had a kind of spoiled pride.Although he has taken care of others and "saved" him all the way, his arrogant personality cannot make people get too close.This time the other party took the initiative to apologize, which surprised him, but he couldn't help but feel a little good about it.

"You know?" he asked.

"En." Tao Chu nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to enter the Gongyang Mansion. Congratulations, you have found your ideal teacher."

"..." Gu Qingzhou thought of Master Gongyang's violent temper.

"Let's go, let's go over there and have a look." Gu Qingzhou pointed to the high platform where everyone gathered for the celebration.

If the other party really wants to apologize, it should not be to him, but to Master Gongyang.However, their relationship is not familiar enough to facilitate the two to meet.Since they happened to meet each other today, and the other party invited him to participate in this grand ceremony, today we will just have fun together.

Gu Qingzhou didn't even reveal the real names of the partners he met on the road because he felt it was unnecessary.Anyway, after the grand ceremony, even if Tao Chu didn't leave Weilong City, he and Senior Gongyang were going to leave.

He has already persuaded Master Gongyang to go to the Qingyuan to recuperate after his leg injury is cured, but the other party has already let go.He also said that after the celebration, the other party would pass on to him the Gongyang family's method of integrating treasures into the body instead of drawing hearts.

These days, I didn't see Gong Yangyi going out, nor did I search for anything in the study.Gu Qingzhou suspects that the set of secret books has been found by Master Gongyang and is temporarily held in his hand as a bargaining chip to not teach him, or that the place where the books are collected in the Gongyang Mansion is connected to the other party's bedroom, otherwise there is no other explanation. The other party does not go anywhere. Found the book.

Together with Tao Chu, they crowded together with the crowd to a place close to the high platform of the celebration.They didn't come early, and they were at least half a mile away from the platform, and they couldn't get through if they were crowded.

But Tao Chu was clever, and led him to the side, pointing out a raised platform made of earth, and the two of them stood on it, not disturbing others, but also able to see farther from the high place.

However, Gu Qingzhou's eyesight is not good, and he could vaguely see what the people on the ceremony stage were doing, but he couldn't see the faces clearly. He could only recognize one of them as someone who had visited Master Gongyang through the clothes and beard length and shape of the other party. Lord Cypress.

It was already noon, when the sun was at its strongest.Today's weather is fine, without the usual cloudy rain in Weilong City.

Dragon and lion dance performances, gongs and drums blaring, on this lively day, ordinary people in the city also came to see this celebration.The atmosphere at the scene was warm, but the Dou Tu masters did not gather here to see these ordinary things.

"If I had known this, we could go to Julongzhai to have lunch first, and come back later." Tao Chu complained, "I tried it last time, and the dishes are very local and taste good, unfortunately Without you, eating alone is meaningless, so I went there just once."

Although Tao Chu's eyes were attracted by the performance on the stage and he found it lively, like most of the Dou Tu masters, he was anxiously waiting for the real feast of the grand ceremony.It was a carnival belonging to Dou Tushi.

Gu Qingzhou said: "When you go to Julongzhai, where can you squeeze in, look behind!"

Tao Chu turned his head and saw the densely packed figures, condescending to see countless black heads, which made him feel dizzy.

In Doutu Dalu, there is no such thing as intensive phobia.Anyway, after watching it once, Tao Chu just stared at the stage. Even if the following program was completely trivial for him, a disciple of a family who came out of Fengyun Mansion and had seen the world, he gradually Seeing the fun, watching it with relish.

Finally, the drama begins.

Lord Bai took the lead in highlighting Lu Huasheng's many collections of works. The rubbings of these paintings are not circulated in the market, and each painting is endlessly memorable.

City Lord Bai only put his eyes on the paintings with good visual effects, auxiliary types, and no eye-catching and lethal paintings. Most of them just used techniques to project huge projections of paintings in the air, so that everyone can clearly see the paintings.

Seeing these paintings that would not be announced to the public on weekdays, the Dou Tu masters gathered here, and the atmosphere was a bit more intense, but the hustle and bustle just now was gone.

Everyone held their breath, admiring these rare masterpieces.Even the voice of the discussion was so small that they were afraid of disturbing the projection of these paintings.

After a round of display, Lord Bai canceled the dotting effect and took back all the projections of the paintings.There are sighs one after another everywhere, and everyone hasn't seen enough.

But then, the inheritance ceremony belonging to Lu Huasheng finally entered the most important ceremony.Push the atmosphere of the scene to the extreme.

Lord Baicheng and many invited guests on the stage jointly opened a "Picture of Misty Rain in Weilong City".

"Hour!" he announced, and the crowd began to stir.

"Dotting!"

With the loudspeaker of Baicheng Lord, the clear announcement can be heard throughout the city.The VIPs who were invited on the stage activated the painting with Lord Bai at the same time.

"A Picture of Misty Rain in Weilong City" was opened.From the painting, thousands of golden lights rushed out and shot to different places.

"Inheritance!" Someone followed the golden light, eagerly squeezed out of the crowd, and disappeared in that direction.More people stayed where they were and waited.

The golden light continued to shoot out, and then, a mask expanded from the painting, passed through the bodies of countless people, and pushed outward, covering the entire Weilong City in this layer of light.

The sun in the sky is no longer dazzling, but is blocked by the ink clouds diffused in the painting.The entire sky became gloomy, shrouded in layers of black clouds.

The sky began to drizzle, and Weilong City, which was still illuminated by the sun just now, entered the lingering rainy season.

It will rain for three days and three nights.In these three days, they can freely follow the footsteps of Lu Huasheng 300 years ago from this city.

All the buildings are covered in a layer of ink and become unreal.Some of the buildings whose shapes and positions have been changed overlap with the buildings that existed 300 years ago, between real and unreal.

Gu Qingzhou looked up.The rain that fell did not wet his clothes.Because all this is an illusory scene after finishing the eyes.

"Dot your eyes!" He heard the people around them, and they all dotted their eyes on the "Picture of Misty Rain in Weilong City" that they copied.In many cases, more than a dozen people share a copy of the rubbings, copy them together, and activate them with finishing touches.

The rain in the sky no longer falls evenly, but has a difference in density, and more of it flows to the crowd after the finishing touch.The painting activated by their finishing touches flew away from their hands, turned into a beam of light, and gathered towards the "Misty and Rainy Picture of Weilong City" on the ceremony stage, blending with the painting on the stage.

The more people dotting their eyes, the more rain falls from the sky.

The painting held in the hands of Lord Bai and the distinguished guests also escaped their control and flew into the air by itself.Blessed by the paintings flying one after another, it exudes dazzling light.

Gu Qingzhou opened his eyes.He suddenly remembered what Master Gongyang mentioned when he sent him out.

"The non-stop rain for three days and three nights can improve Doutu Master's physique and improve his cultivation level. If you can get rained, just get more."

Gu Qingzhou raised his hand to catch the emptiness of rainwater falling around him, and felt his hand was bitingly cold, which made him shiver a bit.

"Strange!" he murmured.Master Gongyang clearly said that when the rain falls on a person, it feels warm, as if bathing in the sun.

How can it be so cold?
