Chapter 158: Discussion
At first, Master Lu, who gave people the impression that the sky had fallen, didn't care about it, but now he is crying and laughing, like crazy, this style of painting changes too quickly, and people can't adapt to it for a while.
Yuwen Yan and the three of them were all stupid, looking at Master Lu, who was completely different from their impressions, they only felt that they were in a dream. Lin Yusheng, the young man, was only shocked by Master Lu's reaction, while Yuwen Yan and the middle-aged man were more proof of what Tang Dou had just said and done.
If all of this was not their illusion, and it wasn't Tang Dou's trick used to blind his eyes, then there would be a huge tremor in the rune realm of the Thousand Souls Realm, a change that could be called revolutionary.
The middle-aged man's name is Yan Bai, and he is the only disciple of Master Lu, and Lin Yusheng is nominally a disciple of Master Lu, but he forcibly apprenticed to the master by virtue of the relationship of Tianshufang, and only Yan Bai really guided Lin Yusheng. Therefore, Lin Yusheng didn't know most of Master Lu's secrets. But Yan Bai knew that he knew what Master Lu's life's wish was, and he knew why his master died back then, and what his master's biggest knot was.
And this cut, it seems, will be unraveled today, here.
After laughing and crying, Master Lu stopped after a long time, but between his expressions, he was still very excited, and he looked at Tang Dou: "Di Gongzi, can you talk about it?" ”
"Just what I want!" Tang Dou smiled happily: "There are still some incomprehensions, I want to consult with a master like the master!" ”
"I, Lu Miaozi, can't be a master, trapped in the heart for thirty years, but still nothing, if it weren't for Di Gongzi's words to wake me up today, even if there are another thirty years, I can't get out of the predicament!" The arrogance on Master Lu's face at the beginning was gone, and it was replaced by sincere gratitude and inner excitement.
"No, no!" Tang Dou shook his head, not daring to take credit: "I still take the battle soul as an example, soul cultivation understands that no matter how amazing the exercises are, or how genius the idea is, in the end, it also needs that solid basic skills to set off." Just like me, I have an idea, but I still can't go on, because I am only a halfway monk in Rune, and many places know what it is, but I don't know why. Only a true master with a vast sea of basic skills like a master can bloom the flower of fruit because of an idea. ”
Anyone likes to listen to compliments, and it depends on whether the person speaking can catch the other person's point. Obviously, Tang Dou grabbed Master Lu's point, making this serious old man laugh so much that he couldn't close his mouth.
"Good, good. The old man doesn't talk to you about these irrelevant topics with Di Gongzi, we only talk about runes today. The writing utensils I saw Di Gongzi using just now were very strange, I have never seen them, Di Gongzi, you invented it yourself? There is also the rune, the old man looks at it as a self-contained whole, like a word but not a word, like a painting but not a painting, what is going on? "Master Lu is indeed a master-level figure, and based on what he says now, no one can deny his ability.
Tang Dou nodded: "It's okay for the master to call me Xiao Di." The tool just now is called a brush, which is a tool that I accidentally discovered, which is used to write with its own elegance, and more importantly, it can be easily combined with the mind! ”
As he spoke, he took out another brush, and after making the same preparation, drew two strokes on the paper, and the paper burned again, apparently his fire character had come into play again. But this time, instead of writing the word "fire", Tang Dou drew a simple flame diagram.
"There is fire in my heart, and my pen comes true. However, this is also the simplest single rune, and it is not so easy to complete the rune of complex abilities. In fact, it was only when I simplified this fire character to this point that I realized the true meaning of the rune! Tang Dou's modest appearance now really made people can't imagine the arrogance he was when he faced Lin Yusheng just now.
Master Lu nodded: "Indeed, the difficulty of the compound rune array lies in the fusion of multiple runes. But you've found a new way out, and as long as you continue to walk down the clouds, sooner or later it will be a whole new world! ”
After that, Master Lu motioned to Tang Dou to give him the brush and looked at it carefully: "The green bamboo is the pole, and the animal hair is the edge, because it is soft, so the edge is converted to freehand, and the weight is appropriate." Yes, this particular pen has a great advantage over a hard pen in writing runes. ”
Tang Dou also had to admire Master Lu's ability, just by looking at it, he could know the benefits of the brush, which was not something that ordinary people could do.
The writing instrument of the Thousand Souls Spiritual Realm is a hard pen, whether it is a quill pen, a metal pen, or a carving pen, all of them are hard pens. However, the core requirement of the rune is often to unite the rune with the mind of the portrayer. To put it simply, it is what Tang Dou said just now, there is fire in the heart, and there is fire in the pen, so the pen falls, and the fire rises.
It's not that a hard pen can't write this feeling, but in terms of artistic conception, the brush has a natural advantage. Some of the great calligraphers in Tang Dou's previous life really came true with their pen, writing a fire character, which can make people see the raging fire, and writing a wind character can make people feel that the wind caresses their faces.
In his previous life, Tang Dou was an antique dealer, of course, he was involved in calligraphy, although he didn't dare to be a calligrapher, but he was also a small achievement, and it was not difficult to achieve unity of mind and mind. And he has always had the habit of writing to soothe his emotions, and the result was that he stumbled upon the true meaning of the runes while writing.
As for the text, the characters of the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm are the same pictographs as the Chinese characters of Tang Dou's previous life, but the difference is still very big, especially the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm itself is also divided into human language, elf clan, demon clan, and the four major systems of lingua franca, and the first three also have many subdivisions. For example, human languages are divided into Euro dialects, Yan dialects, Moorish dialects and Hao dialects. Although these dialects were all developed on the same system, some of them are so different that they can make people feel that they are two languages.
Therefore, the script of the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm is very complex, especially the lingua franca, with the characteristics of various family scripts. In Tang Dou's view, these words are as complex as a big seal. So there is a very embarrassing thing that although Tang Dou can inexplicably listen and speak various dialects and lingua franca after crossing over, he doesn't know many words. He is still semi-literate.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Master Lu was full of praise for the brush: "This is a genius idea. But the material is a little worse. I think you can use the leg bones of the black pole bird as a rod, and use the tail hair of a sniper as a front! ”
The master is a man of action, he does what he says, Tianshufang has provided him with countless materials, Yan Bai knows his master very well, so when Master Lu finished speaking, the leg bones of the black pole bird and the tail hair of the sniper were already placed in front of the master.
Master Lu is a person with extremely solid basic skills, just looking at Tang Dou's self-made brush, he already knows the key and essentials, and when he does it again, he doesn't need Tang Dou to say anything at all, and he quickly makes one. Tang Dou took the brush handed over by Master Lu, felt it, and smiled: "The master's craftsmanship really makes me jealous." This thing pays attention to the four points of 'circle', 'qi', point, and 'health'. I call them the 'Four Virtues'"
"'Round' means that the barrel of the pen should be round, and the tip of the pen should be round and full, and it should be conical; Qi' refers to the tip of the pen is moistened, after pinching and flattening, the tip of the pen is neat; 'Sharp' means that the tip of the pen is sharp and not bald, and when the pen is gathered, the end should be sharp; 'Jian' means that the pen is elastic, and the bristles are spread out and easy to collect and recover. Master, you only need to take a look at my finished product, and you can grasp that these 'four virtues' are really admirable and admirable. ”
If Tang Dou's kung fu is called second, there are few people in the world who can be called first. obviously knew that he was slapping sycophants, but whether it was Master Lu or other people around him, they all felt that "it makes sense, I can't refute it".
Master Lu laughed: "This is nothing, the main thing is that Xiaodi, your sample is very good." But I think this ...... Uh, brushes...... It's a fitting name. This brush will have a lot of partitions because of the different materials, right? ”
Tang Dou nodded: "Yes, there is not only a difference between size and size, but also a difference between soft and hard, and the mystery cannot be said for a while." Of course, this thing also has disadvantages, it can only be written, not engraved, and runes that need to be carved cannot be used for it! ”
"It turns out that after talking about it for a long time, it's just a defective product!" Lin Yusheng on the side thought that he had seized another opportunity, and hurriedly turned on the spit mode.
It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was immediately glared at by Master Lu, but Yu Bai looked at himself speechlessly, a guy named junior brother who was actually a disciple, with a face of hatred that iron could not become steel. Yuwen Yan looked at Tang Dou, his eyes were full of playfulness, and he seemed to have seen that Tang Dou's words just now were deliberately revealing flaws, waiting for Lin Yusheng, an idiot, to fall into the pit by himself.
Not to mention that in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, even in Tang Dou's previous life, there are many materials that can corrode steel and wood without hurting the brush, the shortcomings that Tang Dou said are indeed a shortcoming, but they are not an obstacle at all, and they can be done with a little brain. What this guy said just now was simply used by people who dug holes.
Lin Yusheng looked at the idiot-like eyes of everyone looking at him, thought about it quietly, and finally understood that he was pitted by Tang Dou, and he felt even more resentful in his heart, but he had no choice, his face turned black with anger, and he looked like he might hang up at any time.
Yan Bai also came back to his senses after Yuwen Yan, knowing that Tang Dou deliberately tricked Lin Yusheng, and threw a merciful look at Tang Dou.
But after Master Lu just glanced at Lin Yusheng angrily, he stopped caring about that guy and began to discuss Chinese characters with Tang Dou enthusiastically.
In Tang Dou's view, there is nothing comparable to Chinese characters than calligraphy.
However, a new language system is not such a simple thing, Tang Dou can only say that Chinese characters are symbols that he has obtained by his own skill, and he does not dare to really give examples of Chinese characters, otherwise it will be fun to be found out that he is from another world. Don't forget that the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm has otherworldly legends of the Heavenly Realm and the Demon Realm.
Although Chinese characters cannot be widely disseminated, some simple characters can still be used, and they are all used as symbols.
In this way, Tang Dou and Master Lu had a heated discussion, leaving everyone else aside. (To be continued.) )
