The heavens begin with Hongquan

This is a long period of practice, and the birth of some kind of divine spirit has an extremely strong foundation.

"I really underestimated everyone in the world."

Huang Yaoshi reflected in his heart.

He didn't expect to meet such an expert by chance in a small teahouse.

Wanyankang smiled and said, "Mr. Lu has another masterpiece, so I have to take a peek."

Mr. Lu unfolded the scroll and hung it on the shelf.

The huge scroll only has three characters with flying dragons and phoenixes.

"Can it be said?"

Yelu Chucai murmured softly.

"Good word!"

Huang Yaoshi looked up and couldn't help but praise.

"Oh? May I ask this gentleman, what's so good about this word?" Mr. Lu said with a hint of amusement.

"His characters are as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon, and his writing style is as if divinely assisted. Each stroke and every stroke has infinite charm, and each hook and fold shows his elegant posture."

Like an old gourmet who has seen the best delicacies, Huang Yaoshi stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

The right hands point together to form a sword, and they imitate the handwriting in the air to feel the author's way of writing at that time.

"The writing style is smooth and natural, without any sense of artificiality. The words echo each other, and the layout is clever, showing an otherworldly artistic conception, just like an immortal splashing ink casually, all in one go."

Hearing Huang Yaoshi's comments, Mr. Lu's eyes widened and he suddenly grabbed Huang Yaoshi's arm.

He said happily: "Hahaha... Sir, you are such an old confidant."

No one present was reckless.

Everyone can see the momentum and charm of this calligraphy work.

Wan Yankang introduced the two of them.

"Master Huang, this is Mr. Lu Jinzhi, the owner of Qingxin Teahouse."

"Mr. Lu, this Huang Island Master has an extraordinary reputation in the world, and that is "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi."

Lu Jinzhi and Huang Yaoshi knew each other hand in hand.

The title of "Five Bests in the Jianghu" did not change Lu Jinzhi's expression.

"It turns out that it was the Master of Peach Blossom Island who was in person. Although I have not been involved in the world, I have heard of your reputation for a long time."

"They must all have a bad reputation for being deviant." Huang Yaoshi said, "Your Excellency is full of energy and has long energy. If you enter the world, your reputation will not be inferior to that of Huang."

"I never fight with others." Lu Jinzhi waved his hands repeatedly.

"I can only order things to guide Qi, but I know nothing about fighting techniques."

"The purpose of practicing Qi Daoyuan is to seek immortality, eliminate disasters, eliminate diseases, and live at ease in the world. It is not used to fight with others. In my opinion, fighting is a useless act that wastes life, physical energy, and energy."

Huang Yaoshi frowned, but then opened his eyebrows.

The other party has a Taoist idea of ​​​​health preservation, not a Jianghu person.

"How old are you, old man? If you don't mind, how about I call you Brother Huang?"

Brother Huang? ?

On Peach Blossom Island, I was called "Huang Laoxie" by Zhou Botong, who was not stingy, but this was the first time someone called me "Huang Laoxie".

"Brother Lu's calligraphy is truly a treasure of calligraphy, which is breathtaking."

It was all because of this calligraphy that, deep in his heart, Huang Yaoshi vaguely developed a feeling of admiration for Lu Jinzhi.

As for the people he identifies with, Huang Yaoshi doesn't care too much about the title.

"Hey! I'm showing my shame." Lu Jinzhi looked at Wanyan Kang, "I wonder what Mr. Kang's opinion is...?"

Seeing that Lu Jinzhi cared so much about Wanyankang's comments, Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but look over.

Could it be that his attainments in calligraphy are higher than Lu Jinzhi's?

"Mr. Lu's calligraphy shows superb skills and unique style, both in overall and in detail, and has everyone's style."

Wanyankang opened his mouth to praise.

"Mr. Kang, say no!"

"..."

Wanyankang couldn't help but laugh. The old man was still anxious. "However, this word means success and failure. Mr. Lu, you are already over seventy years old. What you pursue should be to strengthen your foundation and cultivate your strength, nourish your life and prolong your life. But if you always uphold this fluttering divine will, It is easy for the marrow to disappear, the bone marrow to dry up, and eventually to die quickly. "

Wanyankang's words were very serious, and Lu Jinzhi's expression suddenly changed.

Huang Yaoshi frowned: He felt that Wanyankang was being alarmist.

"You must be exaggerating."

Wan Yankang said calmly: "In matters of cultivation, people are like drinking water. They know whether it is hot or cold. I am just expressing my personal opinion."

Lu Jinzhi seemed to trust Wanyankang and asked.

"Master Kang, do you have a solution?"

Wanyankang was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll write a word too."

"please."

Lu Jinzhi immediately asked people to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study.

Huang Yaoshi and Yelu Chucai retreated to both sides. He wanted to see what kind of words Wan Yankang could write.

"Oh? It's a Hu pen. It's neat, sharp, round, and strong. It's top quality!"

Picking up the brush, Wanyankang looked at it and praised it.

"From Yipinzhai?"

"Ah ha, Mr. Kang has good eyesight."

then. Unroll the blank scroll.

Wanyan Kandy pen, wrote the word "国" on it in one go.

"country?"

Yelu Chucai came closer and read it out.

He was not surprised that the prince could write this character.

"The word "国" is different from the official word "国", isn't it?"

Country - this is how it is widely written today.

A member of the family holds a gun to defend one, which is where the great righteousness lies, holds a gun to defend the land, kills people to do whatever they want, swallows mountains and rivers with anger, and is impassioned, this is the "country"!

Huang Yaoshi spoke at this time and wrote on the table with his pointing pen.

Country, country, country.

"I have seen these three ways of writing it. They are actually the same word and have the same meaning."

Yelu Chucai frowned slightly and kept this in mind.

——Isn't "Books with Texts" not thorough? !

How can the same word be written in multiple ways?

Just like how can a country have multiple kings?

Lu Jinzhi came closer to observe, and saw a simple and dignified word "Jade" written in a square circle.

"We often say that a humble gentleman is as gentle as jade."

"Jade is gentle, delicate, harmonious and beautiful, with long life and longevity. It represents all the beauty in the world. It contains the true spirit of the Chinese people and is full of spirituality."

"Jin Qing, let me ask you, when it comes to "jade", what is the most precious thing that comes to your mind?"

"..." Sensing Wanyankang's thoughtful gaze, Yelu Chucai cautiously spat out four words.

"The imperial seal?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent.

Even Huang Yaoshi, who ignored secular ethics and even dared to mock Confucius and Mencius, could not ignore the imperial power.

[In the original work, Jin Da wrote that Huang Yaoshi once said: "How can a beggar have two wives? How can the neighbor get many chickens? There was Emperor Zhou at that time, so why are they talking about Wei Qi?" After research by Jiuqiao, this poem actually came from the Ming Dynasty. The playwright Feng Menglong's book "Laughter in Ancient and Modern Times" was adapted by Jin DaDa. 】

"good."

"If you receive orders from heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life. There is no more noble and noble jade article in the world than this!"

"There is jade in the circle, which is what makes a gentleman."

"There is jade in the circle, which means "country"."

After Yan Kang explained this, everyone immediately understood the mystery of the word "国".
