Due to his heart-cutting dragon rice paper, Ye Chen arrived in Quanyang in more than an hour, got off the high speed, and went straight to the antique street.

When the calligraphy and painting shop appeared in sight, I saw the figure of Liang Lao wandering in the distance, and there was a strange old man next to him.

In the calligraphy and painting shop, the fragrance of tea is lingering.

"Thank you for your generosity this time." Ye Chen took a sip of tea and said sincerely grateful. On the table next to it, there was a suitcase, and inside it were two full dragons of rice paper.

To Ye Chen's little surprise, these two sword dragon rice papers were actually not owned by Liang Lao, but belonged to the old man who was waiting outside with him before, and his name was Tao Moren.

"Master, you're so polite."

It was Tao Mo who spoke, although the old man was over sixty years old, but he looked good, in good spirits, his tone of voice was very humble, and his posture was also very low, "To be fortunate to see the master's inscription is the honor of the old and decrepit." ”

After a pause, he said: "A pair of war letters, it is really what the old man has seen in his life, and what he has seen in his life......"

Tao Moren praised for a long time, and Ye Chen had been silently tasting tea, smiling without saying a word.

Liang Lao next to him also interjected: "Master Ye, I can't hide it, the previous painting "Soldiers Coming to the City" was made by my old friend, and when he saw the battle script you inscribed, he couldn't put it down, and he said that he would personally visit you." ”

"Ahem!" Ye Chen was a little embarrassed, he was so praised by the two old men, even if he was thick-skinned and thicker than the city wall, he couldn't help but feel a little hot, "Two old men, don't be polite anymore, I deserve it!" ”

"Hmph, you know it's well deserved." The little girl who poured tea on the side muttered dissatisfiedly, since the three of them entered the door, her grandfather was full of praise for Ye Chen, but she could only act as a maid, and she didn't even have the right to speak, and she had been unhappy with Ye Chen for a long time.

"Girl, don't be unreasonable to the master." Liang Lao's face sank and said: "Master, that's modesty, if you can learn half a point, you don't have to worry about you all the time." ”

"Grandpa!" The little girl pouted, almost cried out aggrieved, and said pitifully: "He just writes better, grandpa, you and Grandpa Tao are a master, I just can't get used to it!" ”

"Nonsense, how can you understand the artistic conception of the master...... a little girl can comprehend" Liang Lao still wanted to reprimand, but Ye Chen hurriedly stopped him, and said, "Uh...... This little sister is right, I really just have better handwriting, not worth mentioning. However, I can see that the two old men are very good at studying calligraphy and painting. ”

The little girl rolled her eyes widely, and was even more speechless at Ye Chen.

What does it mean to have research?

His grandfather Liang Yihong is a famous calligrapher in China, okay!

Tao Moren Grandpa Tao is the top master of calligraphy and painting in China, okay!

You're pretending to be too forced, okay!

When Grandpa introduced Grandpa Tao just now, she saw clearly that Ye Chen was completely indifferent. No, that's not indifference, it's simply unheard!

Tao Moren suddenly asked Ye Chen with a solemn face: "I want to ask Master Ye, have you reached the legendary Essence Dream Realm!" ”

"The Realm of Magical Dreams?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and said quietly: "Could it be that Old Man Tao has some understanding?" ”

"Don't just feel it." Tao Moren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since I saw the master's "Battle Character Post", I almost couldn't sleep at night, I couldn't eat sweetly, I dreamed day and night, and the Jin Ge killing revealed by the lines of words could always converge into a 'war' word in my mind!" ”

Ye Chen was really moved.

The last time he wrote the inscription, he completely integrated his mind into it, and those who really knew calligraphy could naturally feel the deep meaning of the killing, which was a very normal performance.

However, it is possible to gather the word "war" in a dream...... This can no longer be called tasting, from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as entering the ranks of half a cultivator.

There are thousands of avenues, and the means and ways to enter the Tao are very different and innumerable for people with wisdom roots.

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and the eye of heaven quietly opened, looking at Tao Moren.

Sure enough, the Taomo people not only possessed qi veins, but were even in a semi-activated state.

Ye Chen pondered slightly, and then was relieved.

This kind of situation is rare, but it is not impossible, he once had a detailed understanding of the history of this world, and many literati and writers in history did not have a sense of "Tao" under the cultivators.

For example, Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, wrote a mere 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching" that vividly depicts the "Tao", the truth of heaven and earth. Even if he is a saint who has been passed down through the ages, he may also be a super master.

Although this old man Tao is not a cultivator, he has been immersed in the Tao of the Dharma for many years, and to a certain extent, he has seen a little superficial appearance of the "Dao".

Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly became interested, an old man in the secular world can have a "Huigen", so if it is in the ancient martial arts world where there are many masters, wouldn't there be more cultivators?

"Master ......"

Seeing Ye Chen frowning and pondering, Tao Moren was slightly embarrassed, after all, it was a bit reckless to ask others.

Ye Chen smiled, retracted his thoughts and said, "The old man is right, I have indeed reached the realm of marrow dreams!" ”

Hearing Ye Chen's personal admission, the two old men were extremely shocked, and glanced at each other, suddenly, Tao Moren stood up, leaned over and bowed, and his tone was extremely reverent: "It is really a privilege to be able to meet the master of the legendary Essence Dream Realm this time. Master, the old man has a reluctant request, and I hope the master can agree. ”

"Old man, you have tormented me, say, what is the matter, as long as I can do it, it is my duty!"

Ye Chen hurriedly helped the old man up, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he was very unaccustomed to this kind of etiquette, plus the two sword dragon rice paper, he basically couldn't refuse any request made by the other party.

"Ask for words!" Tao Moren paused, looking at Ye Chen with burning eyes.

"Good! No problem! ”

Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief and happily agreed. If it's just asking for words, it's too pediatric for him, and he was afraid that the other party would say something like apprenticeship. He is a young man in his prime, and it is a little awkward to accept such an apprentice.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!"

Tao Moren couldn't imagine that Ye Chen was so happy, like a child, his face was about to smile a flower, and Liang Lao next to him was also excited, it was definitely a blessing to be able to see Ye Chen lifting the pen again.

Tao Moren couldn't wait to take out a scroll from the suitcase on the table and unfold it directly on the table.

"Please guide the master!"

This is a landscape painting of people!

A woman in a fluttering white dress, standing on the stone arch bridge of the river, smiling like a flower, the distant view is a hazy small village, the river embankment is green willows, fluttering flowers, spring flowers and autumn moon, flowing water is ruthless......

This painting seems simple, but it can be regarded as having two artistic conceptions, and the woman's demeanor in the painting is particularly expressive.

"Don't hide it from the master, this painting was made ten years ago, and it can be regarded as the most proud work in Lao Yu's life. In the past ten years, the old man has wanted to write countless times, but whenever he puts pen to paper, he is worried that he will ruin the painting if he does not have the ability. Take it today, and ask the master for some guidance, not stingy with pen and ink inscriptions, thank you very much! ”

"The person in this painting ......" Ye Chen first took a closer look and asked.

Tao Lao smiled lightly, a touch of tenderness flashed on the old face, "The master really has good eyesight, this is what my wife looked like when she was young, but unfortunately, she left ten years ago!" ”

Ye Chen's face was apologetic, and said, "I'll ask the question now, do you have pen and ink?" ”

"Yes, yes." Liang Lao took over the conversation, quickly took out the brush and an inkstone, handed it to Tao Moren, and asked him to grind it himself.

Such a small detail was taken into Ye Chen's eyes, and he had already faintly judged in his heart.

This old man Tao painted this painting ten years ago, and he called it the most proud work in his life. In his opinion, the standard of this painting is not bad, but if it is the best in his life, I am afraid that there are other things in it. If his guess is correct, I'm afraid that in the past ten years, Old Man Tao has been immersed in missing his wife and can't extricate himself.

In fact, this is not a good phenomenon, if the old man can't come out, he will even accumulate depression and become ill, where can his body at his age eat.

Of course, since they have all been encountered, Ye Chen will definitely not sit idly by.

Lifting the pen and dotting the ink, Ye Chen was about to put down the pen, suddenly stopped, looked at Tao Lao and said, "Does the old man have any thoughts or words of his own?" ”

"No, please rest assured that the master will inscribe!"

Ye Chen nodded, no longer hesitated, the tip of the pen roamed on the paper, and the beautiful and beautiful words jumped on the paper.

"The flowers bloom and the clouds smoke, the people go to the empty building, there is no news, and the dream is ......"

"Sleepless nights, waiting for the dawn, reminiscing about the bitterness, thinking about feelings, wandering the world in this life, looking back at dusk, looking forward to seeing each other......"

"If there is love in the sky, but the heart is ruthless, life is only a hundred years, and this life is sad and parting......"

"Why don't you go back! Return! Return! ”

In the end, three consecutive 'returns', and the payment - Ye Chen!

There was silence all around, Liang Lao and Tao Lao were staring blankly with wide eyes, and even the little girl came over curiously, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This time, the style of Ye Chen's characters has changed, it is no longer the previous iron painting and silver hook, which is sharp, but has become mellow and soft, which is very amazing.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Tao Lao shouted three times in a row, his old eyes were even slightly red, and he grinned happily: "If you don't go back, why don't you go back!" ”

"Alas!" Liang Lao shook his head, he had been friends with Tao Mo for many years, how could he not know what he was thinking, and while he was sad in his heart, he was also happy for his old friend.

"Lao Tao, now you are at ease, this "Return Post" is enough to fulfill your wishes."

Compared with Ye Chen's previous "Battle Post", "Return Post" has a unique charm, compared with the "War Post", it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, although it is from the same person's hand, but the style and artistic conception are very different.

"That's right, a ten-year wish, once it is."

Tao Lao bowed deeply to Ye Chen again, "Thank you Master Ye for this "Return Post", the old man has no regrets in this life, and he has no regrets in this life!" ”

As he spoke, his old eyes were filled with tears.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, and he was not pretentious, he bowed and accepted it calmly.

"Two old men, it's not too early, if there is nothing else, I'll leave next, and we'll have a chance to talk again in the future."

"Then don't delay Master Ye."

The second elder didn't say anything to stay, and respectfully sent Ye Chen to the door, until his back completely disappeared, and then returned to the store.
