The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun felt familiar when he saw this large lecture hall, and immediately imagined the scene of thousands of people listening to the old teacher's lecture.

The biggest reason why the sixth pavilion, the Ink Sword Pavilion, is difficult to pass is the forced elimination method, because the first test of the Ink Sword Pavilion is a two-person competition of brushes and ink swords.

Only those who win the Ink Sword competition can accept the second test.

If the calligraphy works of the winners are too excellent during the Ink Sword competition, they can be directly evaluated and enter the final seventh pavilion.

Using the pen as a sword, the ink as a tip, and the words as a blade is the content of the test of the Ink Sword Pavilion.

The students in this Ink Sword Pavilion are not compared by literary rank, but are allocated according to the realm of calligraphy. If the literary ranks of the two are different, the power of the lower literary rank will be strengthened.

Fang Yun walked up to the literary platform in the lecture hall, and on the wall on one side of the literary platform were hanging calligraphy works.

There are no signatures under these calligraphy works, but Fang Yun knows from the books given by Zhao Hongzhuang that every ten-level calligraphy work will be hung here. Except for a few who died young, most of those who can reach the ten-level calligraphy here have left their names in history. Fang Yun, who studies calligraphy, naturally recognizes their handwriting and style.

Works such as Wang Xizhi, Zhu Yizhang, Chen Guanhai, etc. are all on this list, with a total of 27 pieces.

The first one is the "Jian Mo Tie" by Wang Xizhi, who is known as the Saint of Calligraphy. Although this work is not as good as his "Lanting Collection Preface", "Sangluan Tie" and "Ping An Tie" and other masterpieces, it is also a masterpiece of accidental creation and has been passed down for many years.

In the Mojian Pavilion, as the calligraphy improves, different phenomena will be formed, from the words coming out like flies to the legendary words coming out like dragons. Among the ten-level students of Lingyan Pavilion in all dynasties, only Wang Xizhi has reached the level of words coming out like dragons.

Fang Yun looked through the 27 pieces of calligraphy that were awarded ten-choices, and the pressure in his heart doubled. Although these predecessors had entered the Lingyan Pavilion dozens of times before their calligraphy works were awarded ten-choices, they proved to be extremely excellent.

Fang Yun learned from countless famous calligraphers in the world of Qishu, and the calligraphy skills of these "teachers" combined far exceeded those of the 27 people in the Lingyan Pavilion.

When he was also a juren, Fang Yun mastered calligraphy skills that were better than those of the 27 people. After all, he spent a lot of time learning calligraphy and countless sweat.

But the problem is that the 27 people in Mojian Pavilion have worked no less than Fang Yun, and they also have elusive inspirations and untraceable ingenuity.

Geniuses are not scary, but perfect geniuses are scary, because they not only work harder than ordinary people, but also have inspirations that others can hardly have.

Fang Yun believes that the ten-choice predecessors who can leave their names in Mojian Pavilion are all perfect geniuses.

This Mojian Pavilion's handwritten works are different from ordinary calligraphy works.

In Mojianting, calligraphy's brushwork, calligraphy, composition and inkwork all have extraordinary power.

To exert these powers, talent alone is not enough, and a lot of time is needed for practice.

Among the various parts of calligraphy, there are fourteen commonly used brushworks, including center, side, side, lifting, pressing, starting, and moving.

There are nearly a hundred uncommon brushworks, and there are many unique brushworks.

Even if Fang Yun has been practicing calligraphy seriously, he is only unique in brushwork and calligraphy, but slightly lacks in composition and inkwork.

Once the composition is perfected, combined with the improvement of brushwork, he can at least become a master of the second realm of calligraphy.

Fang Yun has long studied Mojianting's calligraphy works with the help of Zhao Hongzhuang, but he has not been able to see the original works of famous masters. Now he has the opportunity to carefully observe the calligraphy of more than twenty seniors. Fang Yun is fully focused, hoping to gain more direct and real gains from them.

Fang Yun re-observed the works of these calligraphy masters when they were young. When he saw the twentieth calligraphy, Fang Yun stared at it for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took, and a familiar voice came from behind.

"Fang Yun, I will no longer despise you. I admit that you are an almost unbeatable enemy. However, you have calculated everything, but you forgot that I, Wei Yu, am also a scholar! Chang Dongyun gave up his future to protect you, and as for me, I also gave up my ambition to defeat you!"

Fang Yun looked back and saw Wei Yu appeared under the writing desk and was walking towards him.

At this time, Wei Yu was neither arrogant before nor depressed afterwards. He was full of energy, sharp eyes, and extremely steady steps, like a martyred warrior, showing the style of a former Shangshe Jinshi.

In Wei Yu's hand, there was a thick brush.

Fang Yun's heart sank, and he realized what Wei Yu was going to do.

Fang Yun showed no fear, his face was normal, and he said slowly; "Come up, I want to see how strong your calligraphy is after giving up everything!"

"As expected, you are worthy of the name of a mad king. You, Fang Yun, are indeed qualified to be so arrogant! I will not chatter like before, but just tell you in your words, it is not that I don't want to let you go, but that you chose to fail! The Denglong Stone of the Lei family will never lose to you!"

"Come up." Fang Yun looked at Wei Yu calmly.

Wei Yu held a large brush and slowly walked up to the writing platform.

The two looked at each other, and Wei Yu said: "Today, no matter what, it is the last time I see you. I heard that you are good at regular script, so I will write a word "Yong", please teach me, Brother Fang!"

After speaking, Wei Yu held the large brush, pointed the tip of the brush at Fang Yun, and wrote in the air.

There was no ink on the pen tip, and no paper in the air, but as Wei Yu's wrist and brush moved, a black word "Yong" was formed with the strokes of the brush.

The character "Yong" has an extraordinary status in the calligraphy world. Even calligraphy masters in the Three Realms or even the Fourth Realm must practice writing this character frequently.

The character "Yong" contains the basics of regular script writing, including side, le, crossbow, 误, ce, plunder, peck and 甔, a total of eight writing methods. It is called the eight methods of Yongzi. It was the first creation of calligraphy sage Wang Xi. The "eight methods" can even be borrowed from Refers to the entire calligraphy, it can be seen how important the eight methods of Yongzi are.

The character "Yong" not only contains various brushwork techniques, but also basic calligraphy and composition. Some calligraphers even believe that if you practice the character "Yong" to the extreme, you will know everything about calligraphy.

If many beginners want to learn a master's calligraphy, they often start by copying the master's "Yong" character.

This word "Yong" is the foundation among foundations.

Fang Yun squinted his eyes slightly and looked seriously, carefully observing Wei Yu's word "Yong".

Wei Yu deliberately wrote "Yong" with his ink sword, not out of respect or courtesy, but because he wanted to completely overwhelm Fang Yun with his solid basic skills!

Once you completely defeat Fang Yun on the basis of block letters, it will have a strong impact on Fang Yun's state of mind, thus taking an absolute advantage and winning step by step.

When Wei Yu was halfway through writing the word "Yong", Fang Yun's face became even more serious, because Wei Yu actually learned his calligraphy from Chen Guanhai!

Chen Guanhai's calligraphy skills are firmly in the top three among all calligraphers today. He is not third, but there are three people who are ranked in the top three at the same time.

In Jingguo, a large number of scholars learned calligraphy from Chen Guanhai. The biggest reason is that Chen Sheng's original calligraphy is very common in Jingguo. Especially in Jingguo Academy and the capital, Chen Guanhai's calligraphy can be found everywhere.

There are everything from Chen Guanhai's calligraphy works when he was a child to his works after becoming a saint. It can be said that he has the most complete calligraphy path in the world. The brushwork, brushwork meaning, strokes, etc. are all laid out in front of him as clearly as a textbook.

Although it is said that in order to enter the four realms of calligraphy, one must create one's own font and style of writing, but that is too difficult. It is better to quickly enter the three realms by learning Chen Guanhai's calligraphy.

Chen Guanhai's name has sea in his name, and he also loves water very much. When he became a Jinshi, he wrote the magnificent poem "The Great River Flow" on the Yangtze River. He also successfully entered the second realm of calligraphy and created his own brushwork "Run Liu", which laid the foundation for his future career in calligraphy. Lay a solid foundation in all four areas.

Chen Sheng's "rushing brushwork" is famous for being the overlord of Mo Jian Ting, because this brushwork is gushing, continuous, exciting in the beginning, steady in the middle, and full of stamina. At that time, Chen Sheng traveled to the nine countries and the Confucius Academy, and was undefeated in Mo Jian Pavilion. He relied on his flowing writing skills.

His peers even laughed and said that the reason why Chen Guanhai created such a style of writing was just to defeat the others in Mo Jian Pavilion.

But now, Wei Yu's word "Yong" actually contains the shadow of Chen Sheng's meaning of "running flow". The whole word "Yong" seems to be alive. The big black characters seem to be rolling slightly in the air, about to turn into a continuous line of "Yong". The Yangtze River flows to the sea.

Soon, Wei Yu finished writing the word "Yong", and saw that the word "Yong" suddenly broke into many small dots, flying in the air like flies. This is a word production that a master of calligraphy can easily achieve in Mojian Pavilion. Like a fly.

However, these shattered ink marks quickly merged again, and then the words trembled like water waves, and the eight strokes of dot, horizontal, vertical, hook, lift, left, short and N that made up the character "Yong" suddenly split and turned into Eight crooked ink marks trembled in mid-air, like eight black earthworms.

This is the rare word-forming earthworm in Mojian Pavilion, which is dozens of times more powerful than the word-forming like a fly. Every earthworm in Mojian Pavilion has great power.

Different from ordinary earthworms with Chinese characters, the surface of these eight-stroke earthworms has a faint watery sheen.

The power contained in the word "Yong" is at least twice that of No Shuiguang!

At the same time as the word "Yong" was formed, six one-foot-square pieces of white paper appeared on the ground. There was one piece under each person's feet, and two pieces of paper behind each person.

This is the well-known "paper withdrawal". During the ink sword competition, the person who wins once can leave writing on the white paper at the opponent's feet and force the opponent to retreat at the same time.

Whoever's three returned papers have words written on them will lose this Mo Jian Pavilion competition.

And returning paper is also the key to evaluating the number of chips.

"Fang Yun, step back!" Wei Yu looked at Fang Yun and said, "I don't know what method you used to drive away Xiaoguo Gong and the people from Liufeng Society in Kangshe in Danbo Pavilion, but after all, this calligraphy is based on basic skills and Experience. If you use the word "forever" to connect with me, you will definitely fail; if you use other words to connect it, you will be afraid, and your mind will be confused if you are afraid."

Fang Yun held the brush in his hand, pointed at Wei Yu, and said: "Your character 'Yong' is indeed good, but it's a pity that you got Chen Sheng's character for nothing, but you didn't get Chen Sheng's meaning. If Chen Sheng had written this character when he was young, I would have definitely lost. but you It's different! I like to sit by the Wudao River. I often see wooden sticks beating my clothes, breaking the water and clearing my clothes; Stay tuned!”

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he held the brush in his hand and slowly wrote the word "Yong" in block letters in mid-air.
