Chapter 16 Tao Yan
Pei Min asked about Mu Cong and Mu Ling's mentorship. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mu Cong said: "We are the descendants of the Kongtong Death Killing Gate, and among the dozens of Kongtong sects, my Death Killing Gate is also the number one in the row." Especially my master Qing Songzi, that is a great deal. It's a pity that his old man died early, and we didn't fight for it, and we didn't carry forward the martial arts of the life-killing door. ”
Pei Min was dumbfounded when he heard this, Mu Cong and Mu Luan were fierce and swift with a crescent shovel, a double hook was cunning and vicious, and he thought that they were the descendants of the Kongtong faction, but he didn't want to be one of the dozens of sects. After a careful understanding, I realized that there was no Kongtong faction at all now.
In the major novels, most of the Kongtong faction is burdened, belonging to the kind of soy sauce that plays soy sauce, and it can't be compared with the famous Shaolin, Wudang, Tianshan or something. In fact, the Kongtong faction has a long history, and when it comes to splendor, it is only better than Shaolin and Wudang.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Buddhism had not yet been introduced to the Central Plains, the ancient dictionaries of the Qin and Han dynasties "Zhuangzi", "Erya" and "Historical Records" already had a record of "empty and human-martial". In ancient times, the Qin people were martial and invincible in the world. Kongtong Mountain is famous for Guangchengzi and Peng Zu, as a sacred place of Taoism, gathering many kung fu masters, and is a place of pilgrimage for martial artists.
With the development of time, Kongtong's reputation spreads far and wide, after the martial arts confluence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism who have entered the mountain to practice in the past dynasties, it is the reason why Kongtong martial arts are known for their complexity, swords, guns, swords, sticks, fists and legs are practiced, and there are many unpopular and strange weapons, hooks, shovels, whips, thorns, iron fans, flying claws, hot wheels, judges' pens, etc., are all there, and they are all in the west.
"Shaanxi Tongzhi" recorded: "Pingliang is connected to the border barren and many martial arts festivals" Li Bai also has a poem that says: "The legend is that Kongtong is brave, and the spirit is fierce and strong." ”
It is because of Kongtong's reputation that there are many sects in Kongtong Mountain, including the Flying Dragon Gate, the Soul Chasing Gate, the Death Gate, the Drunken Gate, the Divine Fist Gate, the Strange Soldier Gate, and the Xuankong Gate, and there has never been a leader who can hold the town. It wasn't until the end of the Tang Dynasty that the first generation of the head faction, Fei Hongzi, absorbed the dances of Guazhou and other places at that time, forming the highest and deepest martial arts of the Kongtong faction, which unified Kongtong!
Shaolin martial arts developed because of the meritorious work of the Tang Dynasty, and Wudang martial arts because of the emergence of a great martial arts master like Zhang Sanfeng. And Kongtong has been a gathering place for warriors from ancient times to the present, a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and there are many strange people among them, and it is a place for simple warriors to practice.
Pei Min couldn't imagine that the unknown Kongtong was so good, no wonder a martial arts curator in Xiaozhou was so powerful, thinking about when he had free time, he would definitely go to Kongtong to meet the various masters in the mountains for a while.
After making an agreement with Mu Cong and Mu Ling, Pei Min took Jiao Chen for a walk around Jiulian Mountain.
Ancient play, no more than modern times, each attraction is properly developed, with a clear plan.
Many places are inaccessible animal trails, and the main purpose of Pei Min and Jiao Chen is the Taoist temple in the mountains.
The Taoist incense in the Nine Lotus Mountain is not vigorous, and the Taoist temple is not very large, but it is enough to shock Pei Min, who is "lonely and weak".
The Taoist temple of Jiulian Mountain is not built on the foundation of the mountain, but is carved out of the cliff, and a sheep intestine path leads directly to the hanging temple on the cliff.
With only ancient technology as a reference, Pei Min really can't imagine how great the wisdom of the ancients is.
After adding incense money, they stayed in the temple in the mountain for a night, and the next day they saw the lotus peak towering show at the head of the eight views of Taozhou, and the husband and wife came down the mountain satisfied.
Because Pei Min changed his attention, it is better to ask for others than for himself, and he handed over the matter of Tao Yan to his own incarnation, and made it convenient for himself. The coordination is seamless, and the preparation of the workshop is extremely fast.
There is nothing else in Taozhou now, there are homeless people who have nothing to do, and the streets are full of them, as long as they can afford the money, how much manpower is needed.
With Jiao Chen's family background for many years, the Outer California government has given the green light all the way, and it is easy to create a quarrying workshop, an inkstone workshop, and a stone carving workshop.
As for the SF Dart Bureau, it is also in preparation. It's just that the inkstone workshop and stone carving workshop have not officially started, and the matter of the dart bureau is not in a hurry at this time.
Five days later, Zheng Yongtai, the carving master invited by Pei Min, has come to Taozhou.
Zheng Yongtai had already sealed his pen, but Pei Min taught him the wonderful use of Song characters, and also told him in detail about the development of the history of sculpture in later generations.
Zheng Yongtai was deeply inspired, and his originally slack-off knife skills have improved again.
Zheng Yongtai always thought that his sword skills had surpassed his predecessors and it was difficult to improve, so he had the idea of sealing the knife. Nowadays, it is found that the art of carving is like the culture of Zhuzi, only excellence, and there is no boundary, so I picked up the carving knife from the new.
Zheng Yongtai was very grateful to Pei Min who made him understand this, and did not hesitate to bring his disciples and grandchildren to help him with his call.
"Master Zheng! Tao Yan carving, please you! Pei Min expressed great enthusiasm for Zheng Yongtai's arrival, and personally greeted Zheng Yongtai at the gate of the city with the respect of the state capital, giving Zheng Yongtai full face.
Zheng Yongtai was also flattered and said: "Little Lao'er has nothing else, only this little ability in his hands." Pei Tingshi can rest assured ......"
Zheng Yongtai was in place, and the masters of inkstone making also jumped from the Duan Yan Workshop and She Yan Workshop to Taozhou under the temptation of heavy money.
For them, Pei Min did not receive them as a thorn history, but led Azhu, who was Jiao Chen, in disguise, as Qiao Feng, to meet them in person, and properly placed all the recruited inkstone masters.
After all, Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu are the real owners of the workshop!
With sufficient manpower support, the first batch of inkstones used to make inkstones has been mined from the old pits.
Most inkstone masters come for money, and they don't have much expectation for Taoshui Stone in their hearts. Especially Feng Wei, a master inkstone maker who used to be engaged in the production of inkstones.
Feng Wei is very famous in making inkstones, he grew up in Duanzhou since he was a child, like a poor child in Duanzhou. When he was born, he was accompanied by the stone and learned the mining and polishing of inkstone. Feng Wei said goodbye to his talent here, and after forty years of training, he is one of the few master inkstone makers. It was only later that due to different ideas, he left Duanzhou. At the invitation of his son, he retired in Luoyang.
The inkstone used by He Zhizhang was made by Feng Wei, who was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and Feng Wei's son also worked in the Ministry of Rites. He Zhizhang learned that Pei Min was looking for a master inkstone maker, so he personally came to invite him.
Facing his son's boss, Feng Wei was full of disdain for Tao Shuishi in his heart, but he couldn't just tear his face and come to the appointment.
These inkstone masters have their own thoughts, but after seeing the strange stones of Taoshui dug out of the old pit of Taoshui, they were all dumbfounded, and they all showed ecstatic expressions.
To them, the inkstones, a good inkstone is as lovely and precious as their sons.
The emerald green Taoshui strange stone seems to have a great attraction and attracts everyone's attention.
Feng Wei stroked the Taoshui Stone, felt the soft luster of the stone, and said with an unbelievable face: "Impossible, this is impossible...... How can it be! ”
Pei Min came to Feng Wei's side as Qiao Feng and said, "Nothing is impossible, this world is so big, there are no surprises." I have a lot of treasures in the Tang Dynasty, how many treasures are there, who can understand them one by one? Although the inkstone of Duanzhou is the creation of the world, it may not be unparalleled in the world. This Taoshui inkstone will never be inferior to Duanzhou inkstone. ”
Feng Wei said excitedly: "Only surpassing!" ”
Pei Min did not deny Feng Wei's words, this strange stone in Taoshui is the best material in the old pit of Taoshui. The amount of Taoshui stone is far less than that of Duanzhou stone, but it is qualitatively superior.
Feng Wei bowed deeply to Pei Min and said, "Qiao Dongjia, if you can trust the old decay, give this stone to the old decay to polish and produce, and you will definitely have a satisfactory result." He was so excited that he even changed his name.
"Good!" Pei Min agreed without hesitation.
In the face of Taoshui strange stones, almost all inkstone masters gave up their rest time, selected their favorite strange stones, and participated in the polishing and production of Taoshui.
The production of an inkstone needs to go through ten complicated processes of sawing stone, encircling the stone, grinding, naked, carving, polishing, dyeing, deinking, waxing, and waxing before it can be successful.
After two months of careful production, the first piece of Tao inkstone was completed by Feng Wei, a master inkstone, and Zheng Yongtai, a master carver.
Pei Min held the Tao inkstone in his hand to watch, and the pitch black of the inkstone is different, the overall appearance of the Tao inkstone is grass green, which is more beautiful than the end inkstone, especially Zheng Yongtai's unparalleled knife skills, the inkstone carved beautifully and gorgeously, like jasper.
He sighed lightly at the inkstone in his hand, and the center of the inkstone condensed into a mist, and when he wiped it with his fingers, there were droplets of water.
"Good inkstone, good inkstone!" Pei Min is also a person who is proficient in calligraphy and has a certain understanding of inkstone. The inkstone he used was not in the same grade as the inkstone in his hand.
Feng Wei said proudly: "Can the owner take the ink pill and try it?" ”
Pei Min couldn't wait for someone to get the best ink pills, added a little water, stood up straight, and grinded with his left hand evenly and slowly.
Zheng Yongtai couldn't help but feel it, but Feng Wei's eyes lit up, and he thought: "The owner is so rough and heroic, he actually sharpens his skills like this." ”
The four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and inkstone are the first of the four treasures, not without reason.
The quality of the inkstone affects the inking and the inking, in short, the inking is through grinding, and the speed at which the ink enters the water from the ink block on the inkstone. Ink refers to the speed and delicacy of the fusion of ink and water.
The ink that comes out of the inkstone is like oil, and it can shine in the inkstone. However, the ink is fast and slow, and the ink is thick, but often the ink is coarse and the ink is slow. Therefore, the inkstone with good ink and ink is extremely precious.
The inkstone in Pei Min's hand just has these two points.
Looking at the ink in the inkstone, which obviously did not rush into the oil smoke ink, it was shining brightly, and I knew that I had succeeded!
Tao Yan, one of the three famous inkstones in history, appeared in history in his hands!
With this Tao Yan in his hand, Pei Min is full of confidence in the promotion of Tao Yan in his heart!
