The crane crosses thousands of mountains, and the blood enters the painting
(article introduction)
In the spring of the first year of Xuanhe, the Bianliang Painting Academy released its rankings, and Wang Ximeng's name fell from Sunshan.
He got drunk in a tavern and painted the hollows in his chest on old drawing paper.
The emperor in disguise stopped behind him, picked up his pen and added a pair of white cranes among the sea of clouds.
"Crane can survive the disaster," the man said. "Young man, don't break your wings."
Only when Ximeng entered the palace did he realize that the nobleman in the tavern was actually the emperor.
Huizong gave him secret paints and taught him his brushwork, but he was always awakened by the same nightmare at night——
In the dream, the Fairy Fairy led him to travel across the mountains and rivers of Kyushu. When he returned, his sleeves were stained with morning dew and his temples were frosted. The emperor turned into a white crane, carrying the young man and flying over thousands of peaks: "Hold on to my feathers!"
On the night when Ximeng coughed up blood and completed "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Huizong locked himself in the palace.
The green and green in the painting made his eyes sting, and every inch reflected the boy's dissipating temperature.
"Give it to Cai Jing," he hissed, "I... Will never look at this painting again in my life."
When the fallen leaves covered the courtyard in late autumn, the palace people heard the emperor murmuring to the painting table:
"Ximeng, my crane... Is it tired from flying?"
