Chapter 423: Night Exploration of the Huguang Guild Hall

............ "Calligraphy is an art form unique to China, and in order to reach a certain realm, in addition to diligent study and hard practice, we also need a certain amount of talent and profound social experience! Only after these conditions are met, what can be written is not just pen and ink graffiti, but calligraphy art with spirit! For example, the calligraphy of Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan was called 'Yan Muscle and Willow Bone' by later generations, and the thin gold body of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was called 'Iron Painting Silver Hook'!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, whether it was Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, or Zhao Ji, the deceased emperor Song Huizong, they were all grandmaster-level masters in calligraphy.

"Therefore, if you want to achieve something in calligraphy, you must have your own spirit when you write it, Xiaodong, now you have reached this realm in italics, and what is even more rare is that you are only twenty years old. You're a lot more promising than an old man like me!"

"Old Qi, you think too highly of me, I don't dare to compare with you!" Liu Dong hurriedly said, now among the calligraphy masters in China, Qi Lao is recognized by everyone, and he has reached the realm of a grandmaster in terms of calligraphy art alone. There are countless people who come to the door to ask for words, and Liu Dong is too far behind him.

"Alright, don't be modest with me!" the old man waved his hand, and after a little silence, he continued, "By the way, Xiaodong, would you like to join the Calligraphers Association?"

The first time the old man saw Liu Dong so young, a junior who had already stepped into the realm of a master in calligraphy, his love for talent suddenly rose. In addition, Qi Lao himself is also the honorary chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association. So the old man suddenly came up with a plan to include Liu Dong in the association.

"Of course I do!" Liu Dong said happily.

The Chinese Calligraphers Association has gathered the best calligraphy talents in China. For Liu Dong, who is interested in continuing to advance in the art of calligraphy, this is a rare opportunity.

Moreover, with the guidance of so many calligraphy seniors within the association, it is undoubtedly more beneficial to promote his calligraphy level than Liu Dong's own boring groping.

"If you want, I'll leave your information for a while, and you won't have to worry about the rest!"

"Thank you, Qi Lao!"

……

Next, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Liu Dong took the opportunity to ask Qi Lao for calligraphy and Chinese painting. The old man did not hide his selfishness, and taught Liu Dong the experience he had accumulated over the years without reservation, and Liu Dong did not leave at noon, after lunch, the two exchanged for a while, and after seeing that Qi Lao's spirit began to be sleepy, Liu Dong consciously said goodbye and left.

"In the future, we should have a good relationship with the seniors in the industry, the benefits are too great!" After walking out of Qi Lao's courtyard, Liu Dong said secretly in his heart. Although the two had only been together for half a day just now, Liu Dong felt that he had made great progress in calligraphy and Chinese painting.

Wait for Liu Dong to take the car home. From afar, he saw two sports cars parked at the entrance of the courtyard where he lived, and he didn't need to look at him to know that Miss Jiang was here again this time.

Really. After Liu Dong entered the door, he heard the chattering of Jiang Tingting and Zhuang Wen in the hall, as well as the kind laughter of Zhang's mother.

"Liu Dong, where are you going? I can't get through to call you!" Seeing Liu Dong enter the door, Jiang Tingting's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up and greeted her.

As soon as he heard that Liu Dong was calling, he remembered that when he was there with Qi Lao, Liu Dong was afraid that someone would disturb the opportunity he had finally encountered to seek advice, so he turned off his phone!

"I went to Panjiayuan for a walk, and my phone was out of battery!" took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and after turning it on by the way, Liu Dong coped.

"By the way, Tingting, why did you come here today?" said Liu Dong, sweeping the faces of several people. Compared with Zhuang Wen's friendly smile, Li Yuncong smiled bitterly at Liu Dong. Obviously, this time is certainly not a good thing.

"What's the matter, can't we come over if it's okay?" Jiang Tingting pouted and dissatisfied.

"Yes, why can't it? Miss Jiang can come over whenever she wants!" Liu Dong hurriedly said, after getting along for so long, Liu Dong has almost figured out Jiang Tingting's temperament. At this time, if he dares to say no, then he won't want to be quiet.

"It's pretty much the same!" Obviously, Miss Jiang was very satisfied with Liu Dong's answer.

After dealing with Jiang Tingting, Liu Dong took a maza, walked to Li Yuncong and sat down, and quietly asked, "What's the situation?"

"What else can it be, have you forgotten what I told you a few days ago?" Li Yuncong also whispered.

Hearing this, Liu Dong frowned, "Where did they get so much interest, such an unclean place as the ghost mansion really attracts them so much?"

"How do I know, I don't know which tendon is wrong with Miss Jiang, I have to go to see and see, and I also stir up the one in my family, so I can't hide. What do you call this!" Li Yuncong's words were filled with deep resentment.

Although he also likes excitement, he definitely doesn't have the slightest interest in going to the major murderous mansions in the capital to find out, and he can't hide from it!

"I really don't understand why the two girls are so concerned about these gods and ghosts!"

Listening to Li Yuncong's complaints, Liu Dong patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It's okay, just go, there are no ghosts in this world, these so-called ghost mansions are just rumors from people who don't know, you don't have to be afraid!"

"I also know that there are no ghosts in this world, but this is a good heart! Forget it, don't talk about it, I hope there will be no accidents tonight!"

A few people chatted for a while in Liu Dong's small courtyard, and after eating in the evening, when the night really got dark, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Jiang Tingting, who was in high spirits, dragged and threatened, and got Liu Dong to the Porsche outside.

"Tingting, tonight's matter, only this once, not an example!" Liu Dong said helplessly.

Although Liu Dong tried his best not to go, Jiang Tingting took out the three conditions that Liu Dong promised him to say something, and threatened Liu Dong not to go, so she sued Wang Qiang and sued Liu Dong for not treating her as rude. In the face of this kind of big move, all Liu Dong's persistence came to naught.

"Okay, got it! You've said it eight times, it's more annoying than my mother!" Jiang Tingting said impatiently after fastening her seat belt.

"By the way, where are you going tonight?" asked Liu Dong.

"Hufang Bridge Huguang Guild Hall!" Speaking of this, Liu Dong clearly saw a feeling of excitement on Jiang Tingting's face.

However, compared with Jiang Tingting, Liu Dong doesn't know much about these gods and ghosts in the capital.

In fact, the Huguang Association is a hometown association established by people from the two provinces of Hunan-South and Lake-North to connect with the villagers. It is mainly used for hometown accommodation or gatherings.

The Huguang Hall in Beijing was built in the 12th year of Jiaqing, with a total area of more than 43,000 square meters. The gate of the original hall is facing east, the door is embedded with exquisite brick carvings, and there are theaters, main halls and village sages in the hall, and a garden is attached. The theater building is in the front part of the hall, there are two floors of watchtowers on the north, east and west sides that can accommodate 1,000 people, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Tan Xinpei, Yu Shuyan and so on have performed here.

As for the haunted legend of the Huguang Guild Hall, there are two folk sayings, one of which is that it is said that this is the former residence of Zhang Jiangling in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Jiangling is the famous reformer Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty, in March of the 11th year of Wanli, Shenzong issued an edict to take away Zhang Juzheng's title of Shangzhu and Wen Zhong, and removed his son Jinyiwei's command position. In May, Zhang's house was raided, more than ten people starved to death, the eldest son Jingxiu committed suicide, and the third son Maoxiu threw himself into the well without dying, saving a life. Under the begging of Pan Jitao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Shenzong left an empty house and ten acres of land to support Zhang Juzheng's octogenarian mother. Most of the family members died unjustly, and legends began to circulate that there were unjust ghosts.

The other is to say that the hall was built here before the mass grave gang, after the early years of the Republic of China, there were Foshan Dajia spent money to build Yizhuang, hired a leprosy old man like a lion to take care of Yizhuang, after the old man lived here, the original night ghost crying and phosphorus ghost fire gradually decreased, until the old man died of no illness, because he had suffered from leprosy, his face was terrifying, and no people rushed forward to talk, and the identity of the old man has become a mystery forever... Since the death of the old man, the ghost has been reborn, and there are people who behave misbehavingly or are unfilial, and some stones and rubble are thrown outside the wall for no reason, and there is a sound of scolding, but no one is open to open the door......

And before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were several murders in a row inside the Huguang Guild Hall, although the government quickly solved the case, but it added to the terrifying atmosphere inside the Huguang Guild Hall.

According to the old generation, there is a heavy yin atmosphere here, and there are unclean things.

Of course, regardless of whether this statement is credible or not, basically no one dares to come here anyway. Especially at night.

Therefore, when Liu Dong and others drove over, it was originally more than ten o'clock, which was the most abundant nightlife in the summer night, and it was located in the center of the capital, and there were not a few pedestrians.

Fortunately, the bright street lamps next to it and the flashing neon lights on the surrounding buildings illuminate the place very brightly, but there is no scary atmosphere.

However, after breaking through the strength, Liu Dong, who is particularly sensitive to the outside world, suddenly found that the temperature around him had dropped in a different way.

Liu Dong, who encountered this situation for the first time, frowned suddenly, although he didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world, but in the world, there are many natural phenomena that cannot be explained by science, and many of them can take people's lives in an instant, so Liu Dong immediately paid attention to it in his heart.

For the safety of Li Yuncong and Jiang Tingting, Liu Dong immediately urged his relics to the maximum, and the appearance of the relics made Liu Dong couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
