Chapter 121 There Are Countless Painters in the World, but a Piece of Lovesickness Cannot Be Painted
At the end of the sea of flowers.
There are traces of human life.
There is a wooden house here.
It covers an area of nearly half an acre.
The wooden house is as solid as a morning erection.
There is no sign of looseness.
Ye Xing approached cautiously.
[Last time it was a stone house, this time it is a wooden house. Could it be another relic left by Laozi? ]
[It shouldn't be. This house is a typical Tang Dynasty architectural style. The former owner was at least a figure from the Tang Dynasty or later. ]
[Be careful that there are ghosts inside to eat you! ]
There is a simple kitchen extending out from the house.
The stove is well preserved.
The pots and pans are made of some valley plants.
They are neatly arranged.
It means that the owner had enough time to deal with trivial matters before leaving or dying.
The wooden house has no door.
You can see the scenery inside.
It seems there is no danger.
There are three sad words engraved on the plaque: Acacia Gate.
It feels weird.
This is a Zhen house facing east and west.
The Wenchang position in the northwest is the study.
"There are many calligraphy and paintings in the study."
"All the characters in the paintings are the same, all of them are extremely beautiful women."
"Lifelike, graceful as a startled swan."
"Each painting is embellished with a white peony in various postures."
"The signature left by the painter is... Lü Yan?"
"Fuck! It's Lü Dongbin!!!"
Ye Xing suddenly became excited.
Lü Yan is Lü Dongbin's real name, and Dongbin is his pen name, which means the same as Guan Yu, whose pen name is Yunchang.
Although Ye Xing talked to netizens about the folk story of Lü Dongbin fighting Tieguai Li in the Valley of the Dead before entering the valley.
But that was mostly a rumor and should not be taken seriously.
But I never expected that Lü Dongbin actually came to the Valley of the Dead and lived here!
The woman in the painting,
Isn't it Miss White Peony who had countless love-hate entanglements with Lü Dongbin?
[Amazing discovery! The anchor has found the fairy nest! 】
【I was just wondering why so many white peonies were planted. It turns out that they are the favorite of Brother Dongbin. 】
【Shouldn’t he be working in the Heavenly Palace? Why is he here? 】
"Lü Dongbin really existed. As for whether he was an immortal or not, we can't say without evidence."
"Why did he live in seclusion here? Perhaps we can get a glimpse of it from the poems he left behind."
"There are a few lines of small characters in the lower right corner of almost every painting. I'll pick two poems to read to you."
"Don't say lovesickness is bitter, who is the most tired? What can I do about peony? I am the only one who is drunk with lovesickness."
"The general meaning of this poem is: Don't tell me how bitter lovesickness is, it makes me very tired. Peony, I really can't do anything about you. I can only use alcohol to numb my lovesickness."
"From these poems, Lü Dongbin and Bai Mudan should be in a long-distance relationship."
"There are wrinkles on the scroll that have dried after being blistered."
"Lü Dongbin may have been drinking, painting and crying at the same time."
Ye Xing said slowly.
Walked to another painting.
This is the only painting without a human figure,
only a few strokes of lonely scenery.
"There are countless painters in the world, but they can't paint a piece of lovesickness."
"The sword goes off the beaten path for seven thousand miles, and this love will last forever."
"In this poem, Lü Dongbin borrowed the famous lines of Gao Chan and Bai Juyi."
"Seven thousand miles should refer to the geographical distance between him and his sweetheart."
"The sword goes off the beaten path means that it is difficult and dangerous for them to meet."
"Not only is it a long-distance relationship, it may be an underground relationship that is not fulfilled."
Ye Xing secretly speculated.
[Everyone says that Lü Dongbin is a romantic wanderer, but they don't know that he is a lovesick man. ]
[So why don't they live together? Isn't Lü Dongbin very awesome? At worst, he can elope with her? ]
[The scroll of the Tang Dynasty is worth a thousand gold! Wouldn't it be a fortune if he collected all of them? 】
"I think Lu Dongbin must have some unspeakable secrets, so he can't choose to live together or elope."
"These scrolls are smeared with special secret materials."
"You can look at them, but you can't touch them."
"It's good to open your eyes."
"Huh?"
Ye Xing found a damaged handwritten book under the desk.
There are four large characters on the cover: Chunyang Wuji!
