Soul Painter

end……

Gao Fan saw the doomsday through the Dabengka mask.

He saw the fall of civilized society, the collapse of buildings, the crying of children, and the doomsdays gushing out from wherever human beings could see them. Light and fire that melts everything...

But Gao Fan couldn't tell the source of the end.

The mysticism at 26 o'clock allowed him to distinguish that behind these ominous pictures of the end is the withered and decayed face of the Great Elder.

"No, no, no, no..." He murmured, "Your soul is here, and you are bewitching me...!"

Gao Fan realized that through his own death, the Great Elder had transferred her soul into the Dabunka mask, and all the scenes he had seen before were nothing but the narration of the Great Elder's soul.

After being spotted by Gao Fan, the figure of the Great Elder began to fade away at the same time as the flames of the doomsday, but the roar of the Great Elder also reached his ears: "You will be the greatest pillar, but... you must know! You Be aware! The pillars will surely break, and mankind will surely end!"

Gao Fan grabbed the mask.

Breathing rapidly, he couldn't help coughing a few times.

Looking at the big collapse card mask in his hand.

Gao Fan understood everything about the Great Elder.

Bengka Village inherits the 'elders' with the ability of 'foreseeing'. Their abilities are so strong that they can even influence the rise and fall of a dynasty.

As the prophet with the most outstanding talent, the Great Elder was targeted by a foreign race wandering in time and space. He wanted to occupy the body of the Great Elder and use it as a 'coordinate' for returning to the race.

The Great Elder saw through the alien race's attempt and destroyed the possibility of becoming a "pillar" herself, so that she herself became a "prison" and captured the alien race. At the same time, she wanted to use the alien race to save mankind, because she saw that the human race The doomsday, this doomsday...should be true.

Although it is only a symbolic description of the scene, Gao Fan saw a lot of mysterious remains in it. It must be in the past or the future. Great beings appeared in human society in groups and destroyed human civilization. The elder judged that The date is in 1920.

Why can the past 1920 destroy human society?

Are the great beings using 1920 as the anchor point to launch an invasion towards the present timeline?

Is the "pillar" mentioned by the Great Elder a barrier against 1920?

Taking Wang Ximeng's "polluted" life as an example, is destroying the pillars of human civilization the way great beings invade human civilization?

In short, the Great Elder feels that there is no reason for human society to survive under the pressure of a great existence, so she wants to use the power of the black tree to preserve human souls to continue human civilization. This is what she did The logic behind the matter, so she would rather sacrifice all the villagers of Bengka Village. This is really... a life full of sacrifice and sin.

Gao Fan held the Dabengka mask in his hand, and in his inspiration he still recalled the mournful roar of the Great Elder. Three hundred years later, her old and withered face, compared with the figure of a girl full of sacred temperament three hundred years ago, gave Gao Fan Unrivaled creative inspiration.

He starts to create.

From the end of December to mid-January, Gao Fan once again entered into crazy creation.

Xin Wei went back to Shanghai for the New Year's Eve. She didn't spend the festivities in Tianshi, but Xiaoxue's mother next door brought a lot of dumplings on New Year's Eve. She also visited Gao Fan's studio. She couldn't see Gao Fan's creations I understand, it just feels great.

Lu Guoying should come more frequently. After all, Tianmei is right next door, and she can be there just by lifting her feet. Lu Guoying often came when the first 15 mask paintings were created, but he paid the most attention to the last one, almost always. In Gaofan Studio, I can't wait to work from morning till night.

Because Gao Fan used different creative techniques.

Conceptually, the previous fifteen mask paintings all express a metaphorical meaning, that is, the expression of a certain emotion of human beings, most of which are a kind of nature. Under the temptation, you can fall into the depth of the abyss.

One mask painting after another expresses falling again and again.

Lu Guoying knew that this was the main idea of ​​Gao Fan’s creation of the Demon School, and he also saw that Gao Fan used creative techniques that directly hit the depths of human reason. He appreciated the greatness of these works, but he did not agree with Gao Fan’s expression. He did not say it , but he sincerely hopes that Gao Fan can express something brighter.

Because for a painter, what is great is not only skill, but also spirit and thought.

At the stage of establishing a sect, what needs to be tested is the spiritual world of the creator. A great and pioneering master, facing his audience, is like a monarch facing his subjects. Tyranny can make the people submit, but Only a more lofty kingly ideal can last forever.

To put it simply, Lu Guoying did not want Gao Fan to use only madness and despair as his first expression.

Of course, this request was a bit too difficult for Gao Fan.

After all, Gao Fan is only 22 years old, and it is rare in ancient and modern times to be able to create a unique master skill. If you want to comprehend the spiritual realm of a master of the kingly way, it is tantamount to trying your best at the peak of your skill, which has reached its limit and is like a towering cliff. How difficult it is to open up a path to the sky, it is like a miracle.

But in the past few days.

Lu Guoying witnessed the birth of this miracle.

He saw light and hope in Gao Van's sixteenth mask painting.

This is a large painting of 120X180.

In the painting, the contrast between light and dark colors is used to draw a double mask. The lower mask is heavy and colorful, dry and hideous, as if it symbolizes the ugliness of the world, while the second mask is like a thick fog, gently covering the first On a heavy mask, it is light and clean, with a glimmer of light. In this painting, lightness and heaviness, light and darkness, turbidity and clarity form an extremely sharp contrast of perception.

This color alone is enough for Lu Guoying to look at it for several months. How did such light light be rendered? Why is its sense of existence so clear that when viewers look at the painting, although they will see the dignity and ugliness of the second mask at first glance, they will immediately be attracted by this light mask that is as light as sand Attention makes people feel that only the ultimate ugliness can give birth to the kindest light.

Lu Guoying believes that Gao Fan has surpassed Titian in the application of light in this painting, and has reached an astonishing level. Of course, compared with the technique, Lu Guoying appreciates the theme of this painting very much. Even a little worship expresses the extreme ugliness of the world, but a little bit of light saves this ugliness, as if there is only a little bit of goodness in human nature, and gods will not abandon the world.

When Lu Guoying asked Gao Fan about the title of this painting.

Gao Fan said: "I originally wanted to call it "Hope", but later changed it to "Origin", but now, I think "Redemption" is more suitable, but it is not good enough, and it still lacks an expression. I have to think about it. I have to think about it..."

This thought is half a month.
