Chapter 55: There is a Heaven Outside the Sky
Something that is highly imitated?
As soon as Long Zun's words came out, the originally quiet class atmosphere instantly became lively.
All the students turned their heads to look at Long Zun, these students all knew the origin of the "Baked Cakes", and the story of this character alone was told by Yao Tianzang many times.
Wang Xizhi learned calligraphy from his father at the age of seven and was taught by the famous calligrapher Mrs. Wei.
When Wang Xizhi was a teenager, he studied for a while, and he was very distressed that he was stagnant, and he was discouraged and lazy, and he became more and more unable to lift his spirits.
One day, he wrote a few more pages, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly he felt, so he went out for a walk.
He walked to the bottom of a mountain, and when he looked up, the mountain was lush with pines and bamboos, and the small stream below the mountain was crystal clear, and the birds were chirping very well.
Because he was so obsessed with sightseeing that he forgot to return home, and in the evening his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he wanted to find something to eat on the spot, so he went to a farmhouse to explain his intentions.
The master was a blind mother-in-law, but she was very quick in her work, making fires, making noodles, and anointing oil...... In the blink of an eye, the pancakes were thrown into a pot, and more than a dozen pancakes, the same size, one after the other, without overlapping or squeezing.
Wang Xizhi was dumbfounded and amazed, and he asked her curiously how to practice this kind of kung fu.
The blind mother-in-law smiled: "There is no trick, it will work naturally!"
When Wang Xizhi heard this, he thought of his own calligraphy, and couldn't help but suddenly open his mouth, forget about his hunger, run home in one go, grab the pen, and practice hard.
Later, according to this incident, Wang Xizhi wrote "The Story of Baked Cakes".
Of course, this incident is just a legend, and the origin of "The Story of Baked Cakes" is probably only known to Wang Xizhi himself.
Although Yao Tianzang's lifelong interest was in the study of calligraphy, as a person, it was inevitable that he still had vanity.
Therefore, this "Baked Cakes", which makes Yao Tianzang proud, is always hung in the middle of the most obvious wall, so that people can see it as soon as they enter the room here.
Occasionally, friends who like calligraphy come to visit, Yao Tianzang will make a pot of tea with friends, a few friends sit on each other, chat happily, and hear the love of friends for the genuine "Baked Cakes", Yao Tianzang is also very happy.
Over the years, it is not that no one wants to ask Yao Tianzang for this painting, and even a famous collector has offered 60 million to buy this authentic handiwork, but Yao Tianzang still did not make a move.
This is Yao Tianzang's pride as a disciple of Wang Xizhi, and he has decided that this calligraphy is his heirloom, and he would rather put it in the calligraphy club for those students to admire, and will never sell it.
The students all know these things, so they also worship this "Baked Cakes" as a god, after all, it is a treasure of sky-high prices.
Long Zun's words made the students below talk a lot.
"What is this person talking about, he dares to say that "The Story of Baked Cakes" is a high imitation. ”
"It seems that this person is just a golden jade outside, and I feel sorry for Senior Sister Xiao's eyes. ”
"I really like to talk big, so many famous people admire this genuine product, and some even come to our school to visit, does he think he knows better than those masters?"
"Yes, even if one or two people look away, can't so many masters see it? ”
......
Xiao Yiren, who was sitting next to Long Zun, felt a little embarrassed, quietly pulled Long Zun's sleeve, and asked softly.
"Is that really fake?"
Long Zun smiled slightly and nodded.
Xiao Yiren didn't know much about calligraphy, and only what he learned in the calligraphy club when he was a student was just a hobby.
However, Xiao Yiren looked at Long Zun's confident and indifferent expression, and unconsciously felt a kind of trust in his heart.
Although Xiao Yiren has known Long Zun for a short time, the two seem to have known each other for a long time, and she feels from the bottom of her heart that she can completely trust Long Zun.
When those juniors and sisters came to sign just now, Xiao Yiren had already told Long Zun his identity, but Long Zun's attitude towards her had not changed at all.
This made Xiao Yiren very happy, what she wanted was such a friend, and she could vaguely feel the confidence that Long Zun exuded from the inside out.
No matter what kind of status and identity others have, Long Zun leads people to do things the same, and he will not look down on anyone, nor will he look down on anyone, such a person will not be a person who can talk big at all.
Therefore, after seeing Long Zun nodding, Xiao Yiren already believed it.
It's just that she can't help muttering in her heart, when she was chatting just now, she obviously heard Long Zun talk about when she went to school, she either asked her classmates to fight, or took her younger brothers and sisters to go up the mountains and Haiti to play, and there was nothing about studying.
When did Long Zun learn the skill of calligraphy appreciation?
Yao Tianzang looked at Long Zun's appearance and snorted coldly.
"Dare to amplify words without evidence, do you know how many masters have tasted this "Baked Cakes"?"
"Young people are red-mouthed and white-toothed, and it is understandable that they have no knowledge, but don't think that you understand something, and you can talk nonsense. ”
Yao Tianzang's cultivation is still good, if in normal times, even if he is his friend, he dares to say such things in front of him, he has to argue with this person.
Now, on the one hand, in front of a group of students, and on the other hand, Yao Tianzang considered himself an elder to Long Zun, so it was naturally impossible for him to argue with a young layman.
That not only damages one's own identity, but also suspects the big of bullying the small.
Long Zun's expression was indifferent, and he didn't pay attention to the discussions of the students around him, but smiled faintly and said.
"My eyes aren't omnipotent, but I can still see a little bit of it, and I'm sure it's an imitation or if it's for another reason. ”
"What is the reason?"
Yao Tianzang was really a little upset when he saw Long Zun's tone so loud, but he still asked.
"That's because the real thing about this "Baked Cakes" is in the hands of a friend of mine, and this friend of mine only has one hobby in his life, which is to collect superb calligraphy and paintings, and if there are two identical things in the world, they will never appear in his collection. ”
"What's more, the place where my friend hid the treasure will never be allowed by anyone to enter and exit at will, and it can be said that it is the safest place in the world, so I can be sure that this "Baked Cake" is a counterfeit. ”
Yao Tianzang really couldn't bear it, and Long Zun's words made him extremely insulted.
"You said that the real thing is somewhere else, can you show evidence, and the tone of the voice is so loud that I don't know what to say. ”
"Listen to what you mean, you have a lot of research on calligraphy, why don't you let me see it, don't just brag, it will make me look down on it even more, I don't welcome people like you here!"
Xiao Yiren stood up and said to Yao Tianzang.
"Teacher Yao, I believe that Long Zun is not a liar, please don't be angry. ”
Yao Tianzang saw Xiao Yiren standing on Long Zun's side, shook his head and sighed.
"Yiren, such a yellow-mouthed kid casually boasted for vanity, how can you believe it casually?"
Long Zun didn't want to pay attention to Yao Tianzang, but after all, Xiao Yiren brought him here, so how could this face be given to Xiao Yiren.
So, Long Zun stood up, stretched out his hand to take Xiao Yiren's little hand, and said.
"Since this Teacher Yao wants to see Long's handwriting, then Yiren, you can study ink for me. ”
Long Zun slowly walked to the podium and nodded at Yao Tianzang.
Yao Tianzang glanced at Long Zun, stepped aside, and thought to himself: I want to see what kind of arrogance you have, calligraphy is not as easy as you think!
Long Zun laid out the rice paper, pressed it with a paperweight, reached out and took a wolf hair, and washed it in the pen wash.
Xiao Yiren fought beside Long Zun again, and the inkstone had been prepared, and after everything was completed, he quietly looked at Long Zun.
After Long Zun added ink, he put his left hand next to An, looked down at the lectern, and wrote with a pen.
Yao Tianzang had been secretly observing Long Zun.
"The posture of holding the pen is quite standard, it looks very skilled, not a novice, it seems that this young man has also learned calligraphy. ”
"The body is upright, the lower plate is solid, but this posture is very beautiful, and the place where the pen is put down is also very exquisite, it seems that it has been hard work. ”
If it weren't for Long Zun's big tone, seeing that he was so talented, Yao Tianzang would really be interested in teaching it, but it's a pity......
Just when Yao Tianzang was commenting on Long Zun in his heart, Long Zun had already put away the wolf hair and put it back on the pen stand.
Yao Tianzang took a step forward, and after seeing the words written by Long Zun, his face immediately changed.
......
