Chapter 757 Discovery

Noisy long street.

Wu Chong pondered the four realms of calligraphy and painting.

After chewing through the books in the academy, he began to try to practice calligraphy and painting through spiritual practice.

The first step is naturally to practice calligraphy and painting. Calligraphy and painting are simple to say, but in fact they involve two disciplines. Each discipline requires ordinary people to spend a lifetime to connect. In Wu Chong's memory, there were people who were excellent at calligraphy and painting, but there were only a few such people in the entire history. Wu Chong wanted to reach that point from scratch. Unless cheating.

Fortunately, that's what he originally thought.

As long as you break the deadlock, use experience points to top up your skills.

The practice didn't go well at first.

Without the blessing of extraordinary power, his progress is only that of an ordinary person with slightly better qualifications.

"Brother Wu, come here quickly! There is a shadow puppet show here!!"

The voice sounded, pulling Wu Chong back from his thoughts.

The person who spoke was Ling Zhujun, the son of destiny in the academy who was disguised as a man. His bodyguard Dai Yong was guarding the passers-by in the distance, faithfully performing his duty as a bodyguard. Although he pretended to be a scholar, anyone with a discerning eye could see it at a glance.

Wu Chong was invited by Ling Zhujun to go shopping today.

I am always embarrassed to say no when I owe a favor.

In order to learn calligraphy and painting, he asked Ling Zhujun to help him find a teacher. If you have connections, you don't have to be tough. Master Wu has never done that. Eating while standing is great, but why do you have to stand when you can lie down?

In the center of the crowd.

A stage was performing here, with people banging gongs asking for money, and a few jugglers on both sides.

On the palm-sized stage, two shadow puppets were exchanging hands with each other.

Nowadays, very few people can master the tradition of shadow puppetry. You can only encounter it occasionally in big markets. The craftsmen in this performance are very good, and there are also ventriloquist masters who can perform various sound effects. The audience next to them would raise their hands and applaud from time to time when they saw the highlights.

Wu Chong glanced at it twice and lost interest.

With eyes closed, I continued to recall the knowledge of the first realm of calligraphy and painting.

Ling Zhujun next to him was very excited and his face turned red.

After the performance, she even lost a piece of silver. The stall owner was so shocked that he came out and said thank you several times.

After watching the performance, Ling Zhujun took him to eat several famous snacks and walked around until the lantern festival ended in the evening before reluctantly leaving.

During this time, the relationship between Ling Zhujun and Wu Chong also changed from strangers to familiar ones.

The initial contact was indeed just out of curiosity, but after being together for such a long time, even she herself couldn't explain her emotions clearly.

Maybe this is fate.

This thought came into Ling Zhujun's mind.

"I'm going back."

In front of the vermilion door, Ling Zhujun stopped.

This is the residence of their Ling family, and she did nothing to hide her communication with Wu Chong. At first, she was afraid that Wu Chong would be like those flattering people, who would nod and bow after learning her identity. But Wu Chong's performance later made her more and more sure of her vision.

That kind of unmoved look was simply not comparable to the flattering people in the academy.

Calm and calm.

This is purely Ling Zhujun's own imagination, and Wu Chong may not have thought of many of them.

Dai Yong in the distance wanted to come over, but was glared back by the little girl. Unwilling to do so, Dai Yong could only glare at Wu Chong from a distance to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Brother Wu, let me tell you a secret."

The little girl was holding a lantern in her hand that Wu Chong had given her not long ago.

This gift is just Ling Zhujun's own opinion, because she paid for it. Although it was not a valuable item, Ling Zhujun was still very happy. From the moment they met in the academy, Wu Chong gave her a different feeling. That magical attraction made her feel like a destined child.

‘He is the Mr. Right I am looking for! ’

Thinking of this, Ling Zhujun made a decision in his heart.

"What secret?"

Wu Chong was speechless. This girl just had the words "Ask me quickly" written on her face.

"Don't be too surprised."

After speaking, Ling Zhujun grabbed his hat and pulled it back gently.

The long black hair fell down from the hat, revealing Ling Zhujun's original daughter's appearance.

Master Wu was speechless.

Is this still a secret?

"How about it!"

Ling Zhujun was not aware of this detail. She decided to tell Wu Chong her gender today, and she made the decision only after struggling for a long time. Because she didn't want to miss it. Brother Wu looked so dumbfounded. What if I didn't tell him that he always regarded me as his brother.

"Ugh, so surprised!"

Wu Chong's mouth twitched, trying to show surprise.

"I knew it."

Ling Zhujun looked satisfied.

Dai Yong, the guard in the distance, could hardly stand it anymore and covered his face with one hand.

"this is for you."

After saying that, before Wu Chong could react, Ling Zhujun gave him the gift he had already prepared.

Looking at the little girl running away, Wu Chong smiled.

"Um?"

When he opened the gift, a strange smell came out.

This kind of aura can only be seen by Wu Chong. Although due to the different rules of the world, his power of 'true immortal' cannot be used, but his personality still exists and he can see many things that cannot be seen by living beings in the world.

"It's really calligraphy and painting."

Taking out the things, Wu Chong saw a beautifully packaged calligraphy and painting.

Wu Chong had been studying calligraphy and painting during this period, and Ling Zhujun also knew about this, so she specially had someone prepare this calligraphy and painting as a gift exchange.

Unrolling the scroll, Wu Chong saw an ink painting.

What comes into view is a lake. There is a small pavilion in the center. Inside, a scholar wearing a green mountain coat is standing on the river embankment, looking into the distance with his hands behind his hands. The picture further away is a hazy landscape. There is also a small poem in the lower right corner, signed - Dongting.

"Huh"

Wu Chong's hand touched the picture, and he felt a faint wave from it. When he stared at the picture for a long time, he would feel relaxed and happy.

"too weak."

Wu Chong observed it for a while and quickly absorbed the artistic conception contained in the scroll.

But this power can only be used to light a fire.

It has no effect at all, let alone leveraging the harsh rules of this world and planting your own 'delusion'.

"It seems like this little girl needs more contact."

After collecting the scroll, Wu rushed into the carriage.

He is now just an ordinary student in the academy. If he wants to explore more secrets, he needs to improve his status.

Imperial examination.

The legacy of his dead father should be enough for him to pursue an official career.

After you have your identity, try to find out who this so-called Mr. Dongting is.

This is a long-term solution.

Wu Chong still had a shortcut in mind. Thinking of this, he turned back and glanced at the majestic mansion behind him.
