Chapter 466: Carving into the Dao
In the underground library, Lu Zixin looked at the dozen or so tall bookshelves in front of him, and pointed with his hand: "This is the freehand book you want to read." ”
Ye Changsheng had a bitter face, there are so many books, not one can finish them in a year and a half?
Lu Zixin had a playful smile on his face: "Immortality, there is no quick way to succeed in this world, in the final analysis, freehand is a kind of accumulation, and it is the precipitation of the heritage." ”
Changsheng coughed: "Mountain Chief, this, this is too broad." ”
Lu Zixin said leisurely: "Freehand, poetry can enter the Tao, painting can enter the Tao, articles can enter the Tao, musical instruments can enter the Tao, and swords can also enter the Tao, all of which are within the scope of the six arts of the gentleman, you can choose one yourself." ”
Poetry enters the Tao, the pen falls into the storm, and the poem becomes a weeping ghost and god.
The article entered the Tao, and Feiwen was sprinkled, and Vientiane was destroyed.
Painting into the road, the clouds are still there after the green mountains, drawing the four or five peaks in the southeast.
Musical instruments enter the Tao, Wenkang laughs at the unicorn, and a song of flying dragon longevity.
Practicing the sword into the way, the sword rises and the stars run thousands of miles, and the sound of rain is rough when the wind and thunder are blowing.
Ye Changsheng listened to Lu Zixin's explanation, and vivid pictures flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.
Even if the poems and articles are forgotten, he can play some flutes, but they are just country tunes, and they can't be elegant.
Practicing swords seemed like a good choice, but it also meant that he had to overturn many of his previous understandings and start all over again.
Otherwise, it would only cause him to fall into chaos, and instead delay his sword cultivation.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Changsheng asked, "Mountain Chief, the younger generation knows a little about carving, can you start here?"
The way of carving?
Lu Zixin frowned and fell into deep thought.
Ye Changsheng's jade carving skills are by no means superficial, but they have already entered the hall, and the way of carving is relatively independent, and it will definitely not disturb Ye Changsheng's cultivation system.
From this point of view, it is indeed a good choice to enter the Tao with carving.
Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Zixin's heart shook slightly.
Ye Changsheng's mysterious black carving knife, he had seen it, but he didn't see anything, but it was certain that it was definitely not ordinary.
Could it be that there is providence in the dark, that carving knife......
Lu Zixin's expression became strange, and he said slowly: "In ancient times, when there was no paper and silk, the words were engraved on tortoise shells and bamboo pieces, and the carving knife was the pen, and the pen was the carving knife. ”
Ye Changsheng replied kindly: "The younger generation also suddenly thought that the owner of the ancient tomb had written the Bayeux Sutra with a carving knife, so the younger generation had this question. ”
Lu Zixin's expression became even more strange, nodded, and said cautiously: "Since this is the case, you should study calligraphy first, whether it is poetry or painting, the essence of calligraphy is indispensable, which is also similar to your carving way." ”
Ye Changsheng nodded happily, inexplicably looking forward to it in his heart.
His calligraphy used to be terrible, but since the engraving came into the house, the handwriting has become much more beautiful.
This shows that there is a similarity between calligraphy and carving.
Then his study of calligraphy also greatly promoted the way of carving, and the two complemented each other.
Lu Zixin seemed to be looking forward to it more than Ye Changsheng, walked into the tall bookshelves, and personally selected the classics for Ye Changsheng to comprehend the freehand.
Freehand, as the name suggests, uses the brush and ink of "freehand" to arouse the resonance of heaven and earth.
It's just a title, who can guarantee that after Ye Changsheng integrates the way of carving, he won't find something else and form a system of his own?
The beauty of a gentleman as an adult, but not the evil of an adult, it is originally a pleasure to promote the latter, how could Lu Zixin not care?
If Ye Changsheng can really understand from carving, it is also a great inspiration and a great development for the way of Confucian cultivation, how could Lu Zixin not look forward to it?
Besides, if you receive a supreme treasure from others, how can you repay this favor.
It was only after half an hour that Lu Zixin went and returned, handing two scrolls and a wooden box to Ye Changsheng.
The first scroll is a poem, which is the poem "Chivalrous Journey" that has been passed down through the ages.
Look at the penmanship again, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, the wind and bones are magnificent, and I see "ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without staying", the sharp handwriting seems to come to life, turned into a knife, turned into a sword, which is thrilling.
Ye Changsheng was shocked, closed the scroll, and opened the second scroll.
This is a painting called "Soaring Clouds".
In the wind and rain, several ink bamboos are tall and slender, comfortable and colorful, standing proudly in the wind and rain with the posture of Lingyun.
There is also a poem above the picture: Listen to the stormy night in the South Garden, and the scales and armor of the dinosaur are all dragons.
After reading the poems, and then looking at the tall bamboos, it seems that they are really going to come to life, like a black dragon wearing scale armor and eager to fly into the sky.
Lu Zixin said solemnly: "These two calligraphy and paintings are from the hands of my Confucian powers, and the freehand they practice is hidden between the calligraphy and paintings, and how much you can comprehend depends on your creation." ”
Ye Changsheng was excited in his heart, nodded hurriedly, and carefully put away the two scrolls.
He took a third thing, a wooden box.
The wooden box is not a box, but eight planks folded together, like a box.
Eight wooden planks are folded together to create a rectangular whiteboard, the front is smooth as a mirror, and the texture of wood is revealed inside, adding a bit of freshness.
Lu Zixin explained on the side: "The wooden board is called Zixu Wood, and when you cut it with a pen knife, it will leave ink marks, and if you wipe it with your hand, it will become blank again." ”
Ye Changsheng nodded again and again, this is good, it saves the trouble of carrying pen, ink and paper all day long, it can be used at any time, and it can be reused, it is best to practice.
Fold the Zixu wood again, Ye Changsheng bowed down and said, "Thank you for the success of the mountain!"
Lu Zixin stroked his white beard and said earnestly: "Changsheng, you can borrow the classics in this library at any time, but you can't let the second person see it, remember, if you can't do it, don't force it." ”
Ye Changsheng was humbly taught, and listened to the teachings of many mountain chiefs, so he said goodbye and left.
Naturally, he went back by himself, and a fast horse had already been prepared at the foot of the mountain to carry Ye Changsheng, but he entered the city in half an hour.
Changsheng thought about it for a while, but decided to go back to his residence first and practice for the night.
On the side of the Royal Military Bureau, he has already finished explaining, and the swordsmiths are also busy, and he will not delay going over tomorrow morning.
Back in the room, Ye Changsheng locked the doors and windows, then took the two scrolls and Zixu Mu, and disappeared from the bed in an instant with a single thought.
Slowly opening his eyes and looking at the prayer wheel circling outside the Ura Realm, Changsheng looked at the three things in his hand again, and couldn't help but smile happily.
Fortunately, the Zara Realm does not exclude these two calligraphy and paintings, so he can study them in the Jara Realm.
If you can get inspiration from the Confucian freehand and let him get a glimpse of a little bit of the mystery of the tantric mudra, then it will be very satisfying.
