Chapter 165: The Return
The next day, Tang Xiaobao's figure did not appear at the gate again, but under the supervision of Lin Wenfeng, he set up a table and honestly copied the scriptures with a brush in the courtyard.
The most difficult part of writing with a brush for novices is that you have to be able to calm down and control the strength of your pen, and you also need to pay attention to the overall structure and order of strokes.
Although it is said that you can know what this character is, it is absolutely impossible to say that this character is beautifully written, after all, calligraphy is also an art, and it is not so easy to master.
No, Tang Xiaobao hasn't written for a while, he is already sweating profusely, except for the reason that the weather is too hot, in the final analysis, his mind can't calm down, or his mind is not on this at all.
Lin Wenfeng looked at the crooked words that came out of his hand, and he was angry, and said, "If you continue to be so unserious, you won't want to stand easily today." ”
Tang Xiaobao said aggrievedly: "Master, it's not that I'm not serious, it's that I really can't write calligraphy, no matter how I write, I can't master the strength, it's either heavy or light." ”
Lin Wenfeng said: "I think you don't just can't master the strength, you see that the order of your paintings is completely according to your own ideas, you can write how you want, you are here to complete the task for me, right?"
I don't mention what I just said, but look at the words you wrote, you can still see that you are serious at the beginning, the more you go to the back, the more sloppy, you think that the regular script is already difficult for you, right, you haven't learned to fly yet, I think you just can't calm down. ”
Tang Xiaobao had no way to refute what Lin Wenfeng said, because what Lin Wenfeng said was all the truth, and he really regarded it as a task to complete, and he didn't completely calm down, and even he forgot Lin Wenfeng's intention to emphasize letting him copy books with a brush.
At the beginning, he could still write two words seriously, but he used a writing tool like a brush, which was soft and difficult to control, and he began to be irritable when he wrote, so the current situation appeared.
Of course, Lin Wenfeng knew what the reason was, but his purpose was to let Tang Xiaobao grind off his urgency, so he directly took the scriptures copied by Tang Xiaobao and tore them up, threw them aside, and said: "Since that's the case, let's rewrite it, anyway, time is something, take your time, practice makes perfect." ”
Looking at the two scriptures that he had worked so hard to write, they were torn apart with a few "clicks" in Lin Wenfeng's hands, Tang Xiaobao wanted to cry at that time, he felt that this was more tiring than his martial arts practice, but what can be done, as long as Lin Wenfeng is not satisfied with the futility of writing more, especially Lin Wenfeng's tone, although he said it lightly, it always made Tang Xiaobao feel creepy.
So I hurriedly re-wrote carefully one stroke at a time, and I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Just when he finally had a little bit of improvement and was able to endure his temperament, a group of chattering voices came from outside the Taoist temple, and Tang Xiaobao was not calm when he heard this voice, because this voice represented that Lin Xiaohou was back.
So Tang Xiaobao turned his head to look at Lin Wenfeng, and his eyes showed hope that he would agree to go out and have a look.
Lin Wenfeng sighed and said, "Okay, let's go out with me to have a look, even if I force you to write now, you won't be able to write, hey!"
Tang Xiaobao happily put down the brush in his hand and followed Lin Wenfeng to the gate of the Taoist temple.
When they came to the gate, Tang Xiaobao was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him, dozens of monkeys with batons in their hands escorted nearly a hundred monkeys standing densely outside Wenfeng Temple.
This scene reminded him that every time there was a major war in the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the army was victorious and triumphant, he had to pay tribute to the emperor at the noon gate as a prisoner of war gift.
Lin Xiaohou, who was commanding the monkey group, became a general who returned victoriously, and Lin Wenfeng, who was standing facing them in the center of the gate, became the emperor who accepted the sacrifice, and his position was more awkward, either a eunuch or a minister.
Lin Wenfeng looked at such a big formation and asked Lin Xiaohou, "What do you mean by bringing them?"
Lin Xiaohou smiled and said, "Isn't it so that the boss can see the fruits of our victory this time more intuitively!"
Lin Wenfeng pointed to the monkeys tied by the rope and said, "Then what are you going to do with them? It's not easy to solve so many monkeys!" He was worried about whether Lin Xiaohou could subdue these monkeys, if he couldn't subdue them, it would still be a big trouble.
Lin Xiaohou didn't care and said: "Don't worry, boss, I have my own way, I will take care of this!"
Seeing that it said so, what else could Lin Wenfeng say, after all, this is its own "family matter", since it has said that it has its own way, Lin Wenfeng doesn't care about it, it can do whatever it likes, anyway, as long as it doesn't affect Wenfeng's view.
When he looked around and was about to say something, he found that there was a monkey lying still at Lin Xiaohou's feet, and asked a little strangely, "What's the matter with this monkey?"
Lin Xiaohou looked at the place of Lin Wenfeng's finger and said with a smile: "This guy is their monkey king, he was defeated by me, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead." ”
Lin Wenfeng really couldn't understand it now, and said: "Isn't it the habit of your clan to expel the defeated Monkey King, what are you bringing it back for, aren't you afraid that it will rebel when it comes?"
In the eyes of Lin Wenfeng, a human being, this monkey is the king of a race, although it has been defeated now, it is not ruled out that it has the possibility of a comeback, and it will be over when the time comes.
But it is impossible for animals to have so many thoughts, except for monkeys like Lin Xiaobao, who no longer regard themselves as monkeys.
Even if it was really like what Lin Wenfeng said, Lin Xiaohou didn't care at all, in its opinion, if I can defeat you once, I can defeat you for the second and third time, so it waved its little hand and said: "That's absolutely impossible, bring it back this time because it's still useful to me, so let him go for the time being." ”
Lin Wenfeng nodded after hearing this, looked at Lin Xiaohou and said: "Since you have your own ideas, then I won't say anything more, but now I have seen everything that should be seen, so hurry up and let them do what they should do, what are they like at the door, I don't know and think that my Wenfeng Temple is selling monkeys." ”
Listening to his words, Lin Xiaohou made a simple gesture to the monkeys behind him, and they walked towards the station neatly, not to mention that it was really like an army, seeing this, Lin Xiaohou also followed, but before leaving, he said to Lin Wenfeng: "Boss, I'll come back when I settle them down." ”
Looking at Lin Xiaomonkey's disappearing figure, Tang Xiaobao sighed: "Master, don't you really say that the little monkey is getting more and more powerful now, it seems that it won't be long before he can unify the entire group of monkeys in Fangcun Mountain, who will believe it if he says it!"
Lin Wenfeng didn't speak, but he was very relieved that Lin Xiaohou was developing in the direction he wanted, as long as he liked it.
The two of them stood quietly at the door for a while, and then returned to the temple.
