Chapter 460: The Elegance of Poetry and Literature
In order from left to right.
Miao Man stood in the "earth" position, responsible for killing the poisonous scorpions covered with colorful, black hard shells. The average size of each scorpion, including the poisonous sting on the tail, was about half the length of an adult's arm.
Xie Yixiu was in the "fire" position, responsible for eliminating the poisonous spiders covered in blue-brown secretions and barbed barbs. Including the stripes of antennae on their heads, the spiders here had a total of ten thick and long legs, each one the size of a palm.
Shi Yang stood in the "wood" position, responsible for eliminating bats with wings emitting a faint blue light and covered with short, fuzzy hair. Their teeth were extremely sharp, and their eyes were scarlet, filled with a terrifying cold light.
It flapped its wings, which were as long as two fingers, and made a series of grunting sounds like a dog barking.
Huo Jiuzhou was stationed at the water level, responsible for eliminating the fly-green and red giant Thousand-legged centipedes. They were called Thousand-legged because they had so many legs that they were impossible to count.
They are called "giant" because each of their torso and limbs is longer than the palm of your hand.
Shi Rong was assigned the "Gold" position, responsible for eliminating the extremely venomous male anaconda, whose body was pitch black with a faint crimson glow. The most distinctive feature of this snake was that its head and tail each had three raised, twisting, and twitching patterns.
It was like there was something extraordinary inside, ready to burst forth; it was also like there were six earthworms inside their bodies, sucking their flesh and skin. In short, it was disgusting to the extreme.
They moved in groups of tens of thousands, each wandering in the five limited channels. They did not cross the boundaries or run around randomly, as if they had been tamed by someone. They all attacked the enemy in an orderly and desperate manner.
"Ugh! Oh my god..."
Everyone in the reception room couldn't help but vomit on the spot when they saw this scene that had a strong visual impact and made people suffer from claustrophobia.
“I’m so disgusted…”
Song Qianchen tried to calm down for a long time but couldn't return to normal. Finally, thanks to Xing Jiashan, who fed him a mint candy to freshen his breath, he felt much better.
While they were still busy trying to stop vomiting, the five people on the other side had already started fighting.
Miao Man and Xie Yixiu used flexible body movements and the double-headed long sword in their hands to chop, slash, hit and kick.
He would often take out a handful of light blue powder from a black velvet bag tied around his waist and throw it out, which could instantly eliminate a large number of poisonous substances.
Huo Jiuzhou and Shi Yang, relying on their own imaginative stick ambush methods, shot left and right, flew up and down, and wielded the double-headed long swords in their hands with unstoppable force and fierceness.
The tip of the knife moved from top to bottom, and in the blink of an eye, he could split dozens of poisonous creatures above his head and under his feet in half. His moves were exquisite and his skills surpassed all others.
It makes people applaud and it is a feast for the eyes.
Among them, the most creative person was Shi Rong. He held two prepared white paper umbrellas in his hands. As his lotus feet stepped out of the black coil, he suddenly threw them forward with great force in a rapidly rotating manner.
He killed several black male anacondas that were hissing and crawling with their tongues out. The edge of the umbrella accurately cut off the seven inches of the snakes. The bright blood that splashed out happened to be the blank surface of the umbrella, spraying one dotted and striped pattern after another.
As the paper umbrella turned back, two powerful fingers flipped and picked it up, and with a flick of their hands, the two paper umbrellas flew out again in the same route.
After the first wave of black male boas in the 'gold' position were all killed, Shi Rong did not forget to clamp the boxwood handle under the umbrella leaves and circle around on both sides.
Get some of the bat's blue fluid and the centipede's green blood.
Then, satisfied, she returned to her coil and sat down, taking the fine brush and palette handed to her by Bian Fei, who was hiding behind her, and used the prepared red cinnabar and white chalcedony, as well as a small amount of dyes of other colors.
Start painting on the umbrella.
???
Chu, Xing and Song were simply stunned!
In this dangerous situation, with enemies from all sides, even their boss was still busy, so how did she manage to be so relaxed? How could she even have the leisure to paint?
They had realized that even if Huo Jiuzhou and Shi Yang did not come to help tonight, Shi Rong was fully capable of dealing with the poisonous creatures on the three roads by himself, which was more than enough.
The movement of Shi Chong holding the pen with five fingers is standard and beautiful. Even when the tip of the pen is against the uneven surface of the umbrella, he can still move it freely, combining both hardness and softness.
She used the existing three-color bottom surfaces of the two paper umbrellas to paint plum blossoms and bamboo respectively.
The plum blossoms are painted as if by god, with both the elegance of subtle fragrance and sparse shadows, and the integrity of defying frost and snow; the ink bamboo is painted in a natural artistic conception, with both the vitality of lush greenery and the perseverance of preferring to break rather than bend.
Coincidentally, at this time, Bo Fan and Bian Fei helped her make the other two white paper umbrellas. Shi Rong then continued painting, using the same technique to depict the chrysanthemum and orchid pictures.
The yellow chrysanthemum is elegant and beautiful, with both the elegance of a unique charm and the steadfastness of a late-blooming yellow flower; the mountain orchid falling on paper is like spring, with both the purity of its dancing shadows and the character of being spotless.
Maybe seeing the orchid with its unique features reminds you of the independent Huo Jiuzhou?
Shi Rong also wrote a poem specifically for the orchid painting: "How much sorrow can you have? It is like a river of spring water flowing eastward."
Shi Rong's calligraphy is written in connected regular script, which can be described as flowing like clouds and running water, agile like a startled dragon, neat and beautiful.
Looking up, Shi Rong and Huo Jiuzhou, who had killed the first wave of poisonous creatures and had been watching her paint, smiled at each other and tacitly extended their palms to attack each other.
It seems that Shi Rong's poem was well titled. After all, Huo Jiuzhou, who was aloof and cold, rarely looked at someone with such a breathtaking look as he did at this moment.
"Oh~! Ah Rong is truly gifted in writing. These four paintings of 'Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum' are merely casual sketches, yet they are truly rare masterpieces. One can tell at a glance that they are the result of Madam Ying's wise instruction!"
Huo Zhengtong really liked Shi Rong, this young woman with great talent and knowledge.
If you count the daughters of noble families nowadays, there are very few who can compare with her. No wonder even the old man who always looks down on others favors her.
It seemed that Huo Yan's insistence on Jiuzhou marrying the daughter of the Ying family was not unreasonable! He then took the lead in applauding her poetry and literary talent.
For a moment, the reception room was filled with thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
"Yes, Xiao Rong's versatility is truly unmatched. This is not a compliment. If Yi Yan could be half as omniscient and almighty as her, Renhe and I would wake up laughing in our dreams~"
"Hahahaha!"
Gu Xueqiao, who is usually taciturn, rarely speaks so eloquently in such an important occasion with so many people. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone around him burst into laughter.
oops…
Huo Yiyan was speechless on the spot. It was obvious that she was her real mother. She never forgot to criticize Shi Rong whenever she praised her.
