Start with a hero

Chapter 216 Consignment
East of the city, a single courtyard.

Li Yizhi poured all his heart and soul into the painting, and it took ten days to finally complete the painting.

At this moment, he felt exhausted all over, even more tired than after a fight.

However, although he was haggard, looking at the self-portrait, Li Yizhi smiled and was overjoyed.

Because in terms of Shen Yun, this portrait is infinitely close to the Great Buddha.

Looking at it, it seems that countless Confucian classics have been transformed into the sound of reciting aloud, ringing in people's ears, which can make people understand.

Although in terms of Shen Yun, it is still somewhat lacking compared to the Great Buddha.

But in terms of subtlety, his self-portraits are naturally the winners, with the figures clearly visible.

If you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can even see the tiny folds on the skin, such as thousands of ravines.

Especially in the eyes of the portraits, countless classics and texts are reflected, forming a sea of ​​Confucianism and Taoism.

After rolling up the portrait, Li Yizhi fell on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the sun was three poles.

Li Yizhi woke up slowly, he felt full of energy, and all the fatigue was swept away.

After waking up, he took the portrait and went out. He came to Wenchang Street, planning to find a bookstore to sell it.

Logically speaking, the best way to consign paintings is to find a calligraphy and painting shop.

However, Li Yizhi's self-portrait is defined as a portrait of a Confucian sage, and only Confucian scholars can truly understand the value of the portrait, and can sell it for a good price.

Wenchang Street is a unique street in Yujing City. One street is full of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all kinds of books, calligraphy and paintings, and seals. It is more than 20 miles long.

At the same time, there are also many shops and inns, all of which are specially used for the residence of the people who come to Yujing for scientific research every time.

After asking someone around, Li Yizhi came to the largest bookstore, Yunkong Pavilion.

This Yunkong Pavilion not only has a huge area, more than 300 square meters, but also has four floors. It is the largest bookstore in Yujing City.

On both sides of the first floor against the walls, there is a row of tall bookshelves; in the middle, there are basically waist-high low bookshelves, which are also filled with densely packed books.

As soon as Li Yizhi walked into the Yunkong Pavilion, a clerk came up to greet him quickly, and asked enthusiastically: "I don't know what kind of books the young master needs, I will guide you to find them."

There are too many books in this Yunkong Pavilion, without the guidance of the store staff, it is difficult to find the books you want.

Li Yizhi said lightly: "Your shopkeeper is here. I have a business and I want to talk to him."

The clerk saw that Li Yizhi was wearing a fine attire and had an extraordinary bearing, so he hurriedly said: "Young master, please come to the backyard, please go to the living room to sit for a while, and then inform the shopkeeper if you are young."

Following the clerk through the shop, they came to the living room in the backyard. Li Yizhi drank a few sips of tea, and an old man in Confucian uniform walked in.

"I don't know how to call you son, what's your business, this old man is the treasurer of Yunkong Pavilion."

The shopkeeper bowed slightly, with a kind smile on his face.

Li Yizhi stood up, and replied: "Li Yizhi, shopkeeper, let's look at this painting first."

The old shopkeeper flashed a look of doubt, he took the scroll, put it on the table beside him and opened it slowly, then his breathing seemed to stop, and his eyes widened.

Hiss!

After a long time, a trace of cold air came from the mouth of the old shopkeeper.

He was shocked in his heart, and felt that looking at the portrait, he seemed to be swimming in endless Confucian and Taoist classics, and the sound of reciting aloud was telling the true meaning of Confucianism and Taoism in his ears.

It seemed that in an instant, the old shopkeeper felt that many things he didn't understand before suddenly became clear, and he felt a sense of enlightenment.

"Hey, the person in this painting is actually Li Yizhi!"

"Hiss, what a real portrait, it's so indistinguishable from a real person, every detail is completely visible, how is this done?"

The old shopkeeper had countless questions in his heart, and at the same time was extremely pleasantly surprised.

He raised his head, and said excitedly, "Mr. Li, I want this portrait, please make an offer!"

The old shopkeeper is a person who loves to paint. Leaving aside the charm of this portrait, the painting technique alone is already unique and has reached the pinnacle.

Li Yizhi shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper, I am here this time to consign this painting in the Yunkong Pavilion for sale. It will be auctioned. Within ten days, the one who pays the price will get it. If you want it, you can bid."

If you just sell paintings, how much money can you sell!
Only those from Confucian and Taoist families would bid at any cost.

This is like Wang Tong in the Tang Dynasty, who wanted the portrait given to him by Li Yizhi as a family heirloom, no matter how much money he gave him, he would not give it up.

The old shopkeeper smiled wryly, and said: "This old man is greedy. I can't collect this portrait. I understand what Mr. Li means. Give me a day, and I will notify all the great scholars in Yujing City and invite them to come and see it." .”

Li Yizhi smiled lightly: "Okay. I wonder how much commission the shopkeeper charges?"

"I don't need any commission. My Yunkong Pavilion is willing to promote and operate for Mr. Li for free. But I only hope that if Mr. Li has paintings in the future, we can ask our Yunkong Pavilion to sell them."

The old shopkeeper shook his head and said that he had regained his shrewdness as a businessman.

Leaving aside the consignment of this painting, it would cause a sensation in Yujing City and make Yunkong Pavilion famous; Li Yizhi alone is worth his curry favor.

Because judging from this painting, it should be Li Yizhi's self-portrait.

Such a master of Taoism, Yunkong Pavilion naturally wants to curry favor with him.

"In that case, I would like to thank the shopkeeper."

Afterwards, after signing a contract with the old shopkeeper, Li Yizhi left Yunkong Pavilion.

And the old shopkeeper hurriedly yelled outside, saying: "Quick, hurry up and invite the boss to come!"

As the capital of the Dagan Dynasty, Yujing City has gathered many great Confucian scholars. The old shopkeeper naturally does not have the ability to inform, only the big boss can do it.

Because the Dadong family itself is a member of the Confucianism and Taoism family.

…………

After dealing with the consignment of the portraits, Li Yizhi returned to the independent courtyard in the east of the city and began to concentrate on practicing martial arts.

He re-cultivated martial arts, starting from the most basic meat refining.

Although it is said that Li Yizhi's physical body has been tempered by Xudan and Xuedan, and it is already extremely powerful.

But this kind of tempering is not really tempering. It just sublimates the cells of the whole body and improves the level of the cells, but it has not really tapped out the potential of the physical body.

The essence of martial arts in the Yangshen world is to tap the potential of the human body to the limit.

Li Yizhi stood in the yard and began to practice "The Great Strength of the Bull Demon".

This boxing method not only refines the flesh and skin, but also strengthens the tendons at the same time. It can be regarded as a relatively comprehensive and superior boxing method.

When practicing boxing, Li Yizhi didn't just practice boxing simply, he also stimulated the blood pills, releasing pure blood energy to temper the body, so as to replace the role of elixir.

Moreover, because the blood energy is pure and flawless, it is better than any panacea.

In this way, in just five days, Li Yizhi completed the meat refining.

Then, immediately began to practice skin membrane.

Just when Li Yizhi was concentrating on practicing martial arts, his self-portrait had already caused a sensation in Yujing City.

Numerous scholars and Confucian scholars flocked to Wenchang family, just to see the portraits.
