Chapter 117: Calligraphy, New Entries
"Okay."
Zeng Anmin sighed slowly and put the jade pendant in his arms.
Incorporate your own preparation space.
He wasn't curious about it.
His thoughts at this moment began to drift away slowly again.
The green viper came from Lou Yingqi's mansion.
Now the back of this snake is infected by people from the Eastern religion.
If this is the truth.
I'm afraid this will be an unprecedented major case!
The people in the court colluded with the demon clan, the Eastern Sect...
Just based on this one item, if this case is investigated, I'm afraid the whole capital will be in chaos.
The eldest princess, Ren Weizhi, King Qi...
What role do they play in this case?
Zeng Anmin narrowed his eyes.
It's really like pulling out a radish brings out the dirt.
It was originally just a case of poisoning of the son of a minister.
But I never thought that there were so many undercurrents in it.
“That’s a good thing.”
Zeng Anmin looked at Bai Ziqing and said these four words inexplicably?
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Ziqing was slightly stunned. He frowned and looked at Zeng Anmin.
"If you can thoroughly investigate this case, your position as Beitidu will be completely secure, and you might even be able to advance further."
There was a cold light in Zeng Anmin's eyes:
"Furthermore, my father will certainly have fewer opponents in the court because of this case."
"When the two of you and I unite, the future of this Great Saint Dynasty will be promising!"
What a big pie!
But Bai Ziqing really fell for Zeng Anmin's trick.
Not to mention anything else, since Zeng Anmin came to Beijing.
The fall of King Qi left the position of Bei Ti Du, a fourth-rank official in the Imperial City Department, vacant.
The Lou Tong poisoning case quickly helped him find the real culprit.
He sat on the throne of Beitidu.
Every time he met Zeng Anmin, he would get a lot of good things, more or less.
"Where did the Eastern Religion spy flee to?"
Zeng Anmin slowly raised his head and looked towards Bai Ziqing.
Bai Ziqing said solemnly, "The bamboo tracking shows that he went south."
oh.
Zeng Anmin nodded slowly.
The Jiang Kingdom was located to the south of the Great Saint Dynasty, so it was natural for its spies to escape southward.
"Then we must capture him before he leaves the borders of our Great Saint Dynasty. There is no time to lose. Brother Bai, please set off quickly!"
Zeng Anmin stood up and looked at Bai Ziqing solemnly. He reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder:
"I will wait for you to catch the murderer and return to the capital, so we can have a drink and chat happily!"
"Don't you have any poems to give me at this moment?"
Bai Ziqing looked at Zeng Anmin hopefully.
Well……
Zeng Anmin frowned and thought for a while, his eyes serious:
“Don’t worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you!”
Bai Ziqing took a deep breath: "Even though I don't understand it, it resonates with me very well!!"
…………
The next day.
Imperial College.
Zeng Anmin looked straight ahead.
Try your best to sit in the way a model student should.
Just because the teacher standing on the desk now is... Qin Shoucheng.
"Today I will discuss one of the Six Arts, 'Calligraphy.'"
Qin Shoucheng's expression was calm, and he glanced towards Zeng Anmin from time to time.
By the way, take another look at Qin Wanyue who is sitting next to Zeng Anmin.
That look was like guarding against thieves.
Zeng An behaved very honestly.
About calligraphy.
"Studying the Six Arts, especially the art of calligraphy, is a path you cannot escape in this life."
There was a hint of calmness in Qin Shoucheng's voice.
In the classroom, he always looks very serious.
"From ancient times to the present, most Confucian scholars have used the Way of the Book to break through the Sixth Rank and condense the Dharma."
“Because calligraphy will accompany you throughout your life, starting from the time you first learn to read.”
Qin Shoucheng's teaching method is somewhat different from that of other teachers.
After he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of rice paper.
Hold your breath and concentrate.
Then, he ground the ink and started writing.
An extremely comfortable aura emanated from his skinny body.
As his pen moves forward like a dragon.
Then you can see his vast green aura floating like clouds and mist.
"town!"
A large word slowly appeared on the paper.
The words give people a sense of extreme security and stability.
“Pah.”
Qin Shoucheng slowly placed the brush in his hand on the table, his eyes showing a serious look:
"From the moment I put pen to paper until the moment I put it down, it was all sustained by a sense of 'intention'."
“It is this ‘intention’ that makes the words written by me, a Confucian and Taoist monk, completely different.”
He slowly opened the paper in his hand.
Let everyone see clearly.
“Good handwriting!”
"The orthodox style of calligraphy is straight and round. I heard that Master Qin was able to comprehend the new style and condense the Dharma image in one fell swoop, reaching the fifth level."
"Just this one word can be sold for at least a hundred taels of silver."
"Yes, if Master Qin were to pass away someday, his posthumous works would be priceless!"
“…………”
The corner of Qin Shoucheng's mouth twitched.
His dead fish eyes looked at the crowd one by one.
I want to see who is so good at talking?
Then he saw a scene that broke his heart.
Under the sun.
Zeng Anmin was looking at the words on the podium carefully.
And Qin Wanyue beside Zeng Anmin.
At this time, her fair left hand was supporting her face, and her face was facing diagonally forward.
But those eyes would fall on Zeng Anmin's face from time to time.
“Huh~”
Qin Shoucheng took a deep breath.
He lowered his fluttering eyelids.
"Someone just said that I was able to enter the fifth rank by relying on this 'traditional Chinese characters'."
"That's true."
After trying to calm himself down, he turned his gaze to all the students, his voice trembling with an imperceptible tremor:
“This is related to the method of entering the Dao through the medium of ‘books’.”
"Two methods."
“The first is to understand the true meaning of the books of the predecessors and copy them until you reach enlightenment.”
"The second way is to break through the shackles of your own thinking and create a new style of calligraphy, just like me."
Qin Shoucheng looked at the crowd and said, "As for the calligraphy of our predecessors, we need authentic works."
"In the current Great Saint Dynasty, I am the only one who relies on the second method."
When he said this, his voice was filled with pride:
"So, you are lucky to be able to copy my original works."
He has the capital to be proud.
This is also the fundamental reason why he was able to hold the position of doctor in the Imperial College.
Traditional Chinese characters are a writing style that he created.
"Now, start copying."
He glanced at the students below.
His eyes glanced at Qin Wanyue.
At this time, Qin Wanyue was grinding ink.
After grinding it, she handed the ink to Zeng Anmin with a smile on her face:
"Brother Quan Fu, here you go."
"Thank you, Sister Qin."
Zeng Anmin grinned and took the ink that Qin Wanyue had ground without any pretense.
The job of grinding ink.
In the past, it was always done by the little fat prince.
…………
“Huh~”
Qin Shoucheng pursed his lips tightly, then simply turned his head away and looked outside the hall.
He walked to the fence outside the hall.
He lay on the fence and took several deep breaths.
…
In the hall.
Zeng Anmin after hearing Qin Shoucheng's words.
His expression turned slightly serious.
I am about to participate in the fantasy imperial examination.
He now wants to urgently improve his Confucian cultivation strength.
After he entered the Dao through the art of archery last time, he did not rely on that experience to condense the fifth-grade Dharma image.
It just condensed the "Green Bow" Dharma image.
Master Tian, who taught archery, said that perhaps he needed to learn another of the Six Arts, just like the ancient sages, and condense two of the Six Arts to break through to the fifth level.
During this period, he has also been trying various six arts.
But he tried "Music Theory".
You can't listen to it at all, and you might even fall asleep while listening to yourself.
As for Yu...he hasn't even understood it yet.
Right now, this "book" is the only one that can be tried.
Under the tyranny of his father, his predecessor had some skills in calligraphy.
Although he came from another world.
But in my previous life, I have seen many authentic works of calligraphers.
There is even an authentic painting by Mr. Qi Gong in his home.
He was not so arrogant as to think that he could attain enlightenment in this world by "copying" the calligraphy from his previous life.
I just can’t understand it.
Even if you can write in a completely different style.
It's just a facade.
It makes people laugh when they think about it.
So about the authentic work of Qin Shoucheng.
He looked very carefully.
“Huh~”
Zeng Anmin gently dipped the brush into ink.
His eyes were fixed on the word "Zhen" written by Qin Shoucheng in front of him.
After thinking for a while.
Only then did he begin to write slowly.
Soon, he wrote a big word "Zhen".
But... although the appearance is similar, it lacks the spirit.
"When writing, adjust your mind and don't think about anything else." Qin Wanyue smiled at Zeng Anmin and said:
"Copying my father's traditional Chinese calligraphy requires respect for all living things between heaven and earth, and reverence for the unique teachings of the ancient sages."
"Um."
Zeng Anmin frowned deeply.
He closed his eyes.
He couldn't respect Qin Shoucheng's calligraphy.
He has no respect for any of the sages in this world.
It is impossible to enter into meditation quickly.
Thoughts slowly drift away.
The long-forgotten memories of his previous life floated through his mind bit by bit.
What floated through his mind were the sages of his previous life.
Since Dayu was controlling the flood, he passed by his home three times without entering.
The three meetings between Confucius and Lao Tzu laid the foundation for the profound thoughts of China for five thousand years.
From Fan Zhongyan's "Before the world worries about itself, be happy after the world is happy."
To Zhang Zai's "Four Sentences of Hengqu."
From the sage Wang Yangming's "Unity of Knowledge and Action"
Then to the blood-red journey for the people in modern times.
From Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface.
To a certain silly thin gold style.
From Cangjie to Qi Gong in modern times.
Pictures appeared in his mind like slides.
He frowned deeply.
My thoughts are in a mess.
From the outside, Zeng Anmin's hand holding the pen was trembling slightly at this moment.
finally.
Zeng Anmin saw a picture.
That was the waterfront where the lights of thousands of homes in the previous life were reflected.
I have a sword.
It’s called the Wanjia Denghuo Sword!
He felt as if a raging fire was burning in his heart!
The next moment, Zeng Anmin suddenly opened his eyes.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly controlled the brush in his hand and stroked it across the rice paper.
"install"
"civil"
There are two characters, each of which is written in a different handwriting.
The first character is “安”.
It is an imitation of Qin Shoucheng's traditional Chinese characters.
And the word "people".
It was created by imitating the cursive script of the previous life.
He had only learned this kind of font in his previous life.
His understanding of cursive script is very shallow.
Only the surface is shallow.
Cursive calligraphy.
A very domineering name.
It was created by the cursive calligraphy master Zhang Xu in the previous life.
The reason why Zeng Anmin was willing to study in his previous life was because he thought it was cool.
There's no way around it, being handsome is a lifelong thing.
Then after studying it for two years, he put it aside.
Disaster.
It's too difficult.
Cursive script is arguably the most difficult to learn among all forms of calligraphy.
It looks like a few random strokes like a ghost's scribbles.
In fact, it is not the case. Every stroke is even ten times more difficult than normal calligraphy!
Before learning cursive script, you must first be able to write regular script well.
So he only studied for two years and then gave up.
However, today he seemed to have a new understanding of calligraphy.
He felt that the cursive script was very suitable for his personality.
In fact, he wrote it just to give it a try.
“Buzz!!!”
He has just put down his pen.
He suddenly felt a vibration in the space of his sea of consciousness!
He closed his eyes and looked seriously into his sea of consciousness.
At that time, the shadow of Kanlongtu was still floating in the air.
The martial arts true energy on the left also circulated independently from the martial pill using the two bridges of heaven and earth as the medium.
A green bow composed of righteous energy also floated there.
Just follow his gaze.
Next to the green bow, an even more violent green energy quickly condensed.
The original dark blue now even had a hint of purple.
After a while, it suddenly formed into an extremely thick pen.
Like a pen and a bow, there is a hint of purple in the green air.
The great energy in his sea of consciousness has become much more solid!
"An Min."
On the pen, two large characters slowly appeared with a fierce momentum.
See this "An Min" pen.
Well……
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched.
Another breakthrough.
But it didn't completely break through.
He still had not broken through to the fifth level and condensed the Dharma image by understanding the "Book".
But it has further solidified the righteous spirit on the basis of the original foundation.
Every stroke of the pen and every bow flashed with a purple aura from time to time.
[Congratulations on breaking through the level]
[Please choose one of the following three martial arts terms. ]
"[Silver] Martial Arts Giant: Gain 50 Years of Life"
[Silver] Share Happiness: At the start of battle, you gain a 20% increase in combat power. Your opponent gains 10%.
"【Silver】Insufficient Luck: Within three years, you can only advance twice and then obtain three martial arts spiritual weapons."
[Note: Unselected entries will disappear permanently, counting down to 30, 29, 28...]
Another entry has been released.
Zeng Anmin's eyes were fixed on the panel of the golden finger, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
【Martial Arts Giant】
Add fifty years to your life?
Such a nice scent!
As for [Sharing Happiness]…
It’s okay if you’re facing someone with a lower realm than you, but if you’re facing someone with a higher realm than you... go to hell!
Don't even bother looking at the [Insufficient Capacity] at the end, it's just rubbish.
Ten years from now, I don’t even know if I’ll still be in need of spiritual weapons…
Soon, Zeng Anmin carefully chose a lifespan of fifty years.
Then, he felt an extremely tingling sensation surge throughout his body.
It seemed as if it was going to electrify his soul and make it take off.
As he opened his eyes.
I found that the whole school was quiet.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
"Brother Quan Fu!! You... understood the meaning?!!"
Liu Xian widened his eyes, looked at Zeng Anmin's profile, and took a breath in disbelief.
He picked up the "An" character copied from Qin Shoucheng's handwriting on Zeng Anmin's desk and looked at it very carefully.
"What's going on??"
"Zeng Liangjiang is indeed a great talent in our academy. He has grasped the meaning of 'books' so quickly?"
"No, is the difference between people so huge? I just took a few glances and people understood it?"
"Who's still playing with you?!"
…
"What are you arguing about?!"
Qin Shoucheng appeared at the door with a gloomy look on his face.
When Liu Xian saw Qin Shoucheng, he was not afraid. Instead, he stood up excitedly and said with the rice paper in his hand:
"Master Qin!! Look! Brother Quan Fu has understood the meaning of your words!!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Shoucheng's brows immediately frowned.
He looked at Liu Xian with disbelief.
So he took the initiative to walk towards this side.
But he didn't look at the words in Liu Xian's hand first.
Instead, he looked at Qin Wanyue first.
At this time, Qin Wanyue was staring blankly at the word "People" on the table.
Qin Shoucheng followed the girl's gaze and looked over.
His eyes just fell on the word "Min" on Zeng Anmin's desk.
The whole person fell into a daze.
The character "民" was written by Zeng Anmin imitating the cursive script of his previous life.
