Chapter 174

February of the second year: You and Lin Ye take your younger sister A-Yu out for an outing to collect wind. You sigh that this time is not good, the flowers have not bloomed yet and you cannot appreciate the true beauty of spring. Lin Ye hears this and waves his hand, and suddenly, flowers bloom from the ice and snow...

"So beautiful!"

New work get!

A-Rong immediately recorded this work. Sure enough, Lin Ye is still the most miraculous! Without Lin Ye, you really couldn't see such a scene.

And in Fuyuki City, Lin Ye at this moment didn't expect at all:

Because your painting skills are becoming more and more exquisite, your illusion technique has broken through to A.

"No, what does my exquisite painting skill have to do with my illusion technique breaking through to A."

Lin Ye didn't understand, but after he thought about it carefully, he suddenly understood.

Illusion technique, to put it bluntly, is still a kind of magic constructed by the caster to build the scene in their mind. His painting skills have improved, the composition is naturally becoming more and more perfect, so the illusion technique displayed is also more vivid and full of soul, and naturally, it will continue to improve.

Understanding this point, Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh:

"It's still easier to simulate these artists. You don't have to do anything, just travel around the mountains and water every day. If I simulate like this, I will also be worry-free."

Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the style of the subsequent simulation suddenly became mysterious.

May of the second year: This day, A-Rong suddenly found you. She told you that a "Painting of One Hundred Ghosts of Hell" she drew for a courtesan caused trouble.

You followed A-Rong curiously to the red-light district, and you saw the Oiran here. You saw that at this moment, this Oiran had no spirit in her eyes, she was huddled in the corner, her soul was not in her body.

You learned from the mouths of the people around her that during this time, this Oiran could always see some strange things.

She saw shadows seeming to turn into ghost hands circling around her, she saw one hundred ghosts floating outside the window, she saw her soul come to hell and then start to be constantly bitten by one hundred ghosts!

And the reason for all this was because Katsushika Oei drew a fierce ghost painting for her!

"It's over, starting to lose SAN value."

Lin Ye had already felt that something was wrong. This painting style was obviously wrong! This legend has always been regarded as A-Rong's painting skill being so superb that it could be mistaken for the real thing, and then it was used to praise A-Rong's skill.

But where is this!

Type-Moon!

A-Rong and Katsushika Hokusai are related to whom! Cthulhu! Cthulhu might not be the strongest in the Cthulhu Mythos, but it is definitely the most famous one!

SAN, which is sanity. In the Cthulhu Mythos, when SAN drops to 0, people will go crazy and insane.

And in Type-Moon, Outer Gods also exist. But these Outer Gods cannot directly descend into the Moon World, so they will use various means to drop the target's SAN to 0, and then descend into this world through means similar to possession summoning.

And the Outer God related to Katsushika Hokusai is precisely Cthulhu!

And at this moment, Katsushika Hokusai also walked in. He didn't react much to you and A-Rong walking together. After all, he doesn't care much about anything other than paintings now.

He came directly to this fierce ghost painting, and then said to A-Rong:

"You have been drawing better and better recently, but what you need to improve is not just painting skills, finishing work is also very important. Paintings with problems are no different from waste paper."

After Katsushika Hokusai finished speaking, he waved his paintbrush and started drawing on this painting constantly!

Soon, on this painting, a Bodhisattva full of holiness had already appeared. The appearance of this Bodhisattva directly suppressed the one hundred ghosts in the picture!

Bodhisattva Myoken!

With the appearance of this Bodhisattva, the original fierce ghost painting turned into a Bodhisattva subduing ghost painting! For a time, the haze dissipated, and the insane Oiran gradually returned to normal.

"So, Cthulhu targeted Katsushika Hokusai at this time?"

Lin Ye had already noticed that something was wrong. Maybe Cthulhu was just descending for fun, but Katsushika Hokusai's appearance attracted Cthulhu's attention.

And while Lin Ye was thinking about Cthulhu here, A-Rong on the other side didn't think so much.

"The matter is solved, fortunately."

A-Rong was fortunate that her painting didn't cause any problems, but she was also very unconvinced. Clearly, her painting skills were not weaker than her father's, so why did she fail this time? Was it really her improper thinking?

August of the second year: Under Lin Ye's inspiration, you created "Three-Piece Ensemble Painting", your father was greatly shocked, and your reputation finally began to spread.

December of the second year: Under Lin Ye's inspiration, you created "Bamboo Forest Fuji Painting", and your reputation spread far and wide.

July of the third year: Under Lin Ye's guidance, you created "Guan Yu Cutting the Arm Painting"...

April of the fourth year: "Lily Painting"

June of the fifth year: "Beauty Beating Cloth Under the Moon Painting"

August of the fifth year: All the masterpieces you created were bought by Lin Ye. This day, Lin Ye funded an art exhibition for you. The guests coming and going praised your paintings endlessly. For a time, the name Katsushika Oei spread far and wide!

"I... really have my own name!"

For a time, A-Rong was moved to tears. Wasn't her lifelong pursuit to no longer live in Katsushika Hokusai's shadow and let the name Katsushika Oei spread far and wide? She actually succeeded?

"Of course it will succeed, isn't this a matter of course?" Lin Ye felt it was very normal.

First of all, Katsushika Oei's painting skills are not bad. Even Katsushika Hokusai thinks that A-Rong's level of drawing beauties and adjusting light and shadow relationships is above his. However, even good wine is afraid of deep alleys. If an artist wants to be famous, you also need hype.

Real gold will shine wherever it is, but! You also need someone to look at you when you shine. If a person shines in the dark, they can only pity themselves.

Now, A-Rong is very happy. Regardless of the future, at least now, her reputation in Edo indeed exceeds her father's.

And all of this was brought to her by Lin Ye. ===== CHAPTER 176 =====
