Gongzi Yu was a Jin ling man during the Jin Dynasty, and he was very good at painting, especially the characters, and people praised the characters painted by Gongzi Yu as vivid, as if they could come out of the painting. On that day, Gongzi Yu drew a picture of a beautiful person, but unexpectedly, the beauty in the painting came back to life, and said that he wanted to repay the favor!
It turned out that on that day, Gongzi Yu slept in the afternoon of the corridor, dreaming of a young girl wearing a goose yellow dress, the girl was born bright and moving, which made people very moved at first sight, Gongzi Yu had the ability to never forget, he woke up, he painted the girl in the dream.
Gongzi Yu was obsessed with the young girl, and after he drew the portrait of the young girl, he hung the painting on the bedside and often stared at the girl in the portrait. Early this morning, Gongzi Yu woke up from his sleep and found that the girl in the painting had suddenly disappeared, his face changed greatly in fright, and he looked around at home, but saw that the girl was walking with one hand on the wall.
Gongzi Yu was extremely surprised to see this scene, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask the young girl, "You were drawn on paper by me, and you have no form at all, how could you come out alone from the drawing paper?" ”
The girl smiled and said that although she had no form, but there was a god, although the appearance of the person in the original painting was painted, it was painted according to the image of the world, if the painter was skilled, the person in the painting would have a sanity, and he could act alone without the drawing paper.
Gongzi Yu thought that the girl was very reasonable, so he went over to teach the girl to walk and left her around to live. The young girl calls herself Gantang, she has a lively personality, loves to talk and laugh, Gongziyu talks with her very happily, and the two accompany each other day and night, as if they are husband and wife.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, Gongzi Yu felt very tired because he was mixed with Gan Tang day and night, and he couldn't even pick up the paintbrush, so he asked Gan Tang to ask for a doctor for himself. However, Gan Tang said that he had a way to cure Gongzi Yu's illness, and Gongzi Yu asked him to try it, and when he saw Gan Tang's way of curing the disease, he called out to himself and opened his eyes.
Only to see Gan Tang take a piece of drawing paper and draw the appearance of Gongzi Yu, Gan Tang only painted a light color on it, And Gongzi Yu felt that his body was much better. Gan Tang said that she was the elf in the painting, and she used her spiritual power to paint Gongziyu, which could cure Gongziyu's illness.
After that, whenever Gongziyu felt unwell, Gantang would take a paintbrush to paint color on Gongziyu's portrait, and as time went on, the color on the portrait became more and more vivid, and the portrait was also more and more similar to Gongziyu.
On that day, Gongziyu woke up and found that he could not move, he carefully observed for half a day, and found that his soul and the portrait painted by Gan Tang were integrated, and Gan Tang occupied Gongzi Yu's body and went out in a bright and upright manner. Gongzi Yu then understood that Gan Tang did not want to be with him, everything she did was to occupy her own flesh.
Gongzi Yu was trapped in the painting for a whole day, he didn't think about how to get out, but after dark, he saw the servant carrying his body back from outside, and Gan Tang appeared in front of him covered in blood, and said to him: "I don't want to harm you, I occupy your body to repay the favor!" ”
It turned out that after GanTang came out of the painting, she had the ability to foresee the future, and she knew that Gongziyu did not covet fame and fortune, and never painted for dignitaries and nobles, so she offended many people. A high-ranking and powerful prince wanted to find someone to break Gongziyu's arm because Gongziyu did not paint for him, so that he could no longer paint.
Gan Tang was grateful to Gongzi Yu for painting herself, and was even more grateful to Gongzi Yu for treating her sincerely, and in order to repay her kindness, she sealed Gongzi Yu's soul in the painting, and she blocked this disaster for Gongzi Yu. When those people wanted to hurt Gongzi Yu's arm, Gan Tang used all her spiritual power to protect Gongzi Yu's body from damage, and her own spiritual power was exhausted, and she immediately dispersed.
Later, Gan Tang used her last breath to let Gongzi Yu's soul return to the body, and she turned into a green smoke and disappeared. After Gongzi Yu's body recovered, he went to live in the mountains and wilderness in anonymity, and he painted one portrait after another of Gantang, but Gantang never appeared again. After all, everyone's life is only once, and if they lose it, they can't start again.
Editor's note: Gan Tang gave everything for love, which shows that true love for a person, is unable to control themselves, but in real life, we still have to remain rational when we encounter love, do not believe strangers, do not be deceived to regret it.
