Chapter 28: The Master's Gift II
Chapter 28βThe Master's Gift (2)
Inside the package are several thin thread-bound books, all of which are made of good paper materials and can be stored for a long time. There are also two letters, one is addressed to Yuan Lie, and the other is left to Yuan Zhichen. Yuan Lie was a little surprised that Ding Fuzi left a letter for himself, and at the same time he understood that there must be something important, otherwise, a person like Ding Fuzi would not do meaningless things.
Yuan Lie solemnly opened his letter. Sure enough, in the letter, Master Ding once again told Yuan Lie to protect his son, and explained that he strictly urged Yuan Zhichen to study his homework according to his own instructions and not slack off. Between the words, the words are harsh. Obviously, Ding Fuzi attaches great importance to Yuan Zhichen, and he is better than his parents. After reading the letter, Yuan Lie was not unhappy in his heart, but was grateful and respectful.
After his son had breakfast, Yuan Lie called Yuan Zhichen and gave his son the letter from Master Ding.
Yuan Zhichen unfolded the letter, and Ding Fuzi's free and unique font was still so familiar, but it seemed to be written in a hurry. In the letter, Ding Fuzi explained that he needed to strictly follow the usual homework review, and especially explained the practice music and the two books he left him. One is "Danqing Instructions", and the other is "Secret Pattern Preliminary Examination".
Yuan Zhichen is not a little strange, although usually the master has taught and supervised himself in the qin music and calligraphy and painting, but he does not ask himself to work hard in these aspects, but at the moment, the master's tone in the letter is quite strict, the qin music needs more practice and comprehension, even if you can't understand the artistic conception in the song, you have to practice diligently.
What made Yuan Zhichen even more puzzled was that the master mentioned at the end of the letter that "Danqing Instructions" can be read and watched by Yuan Lie to guide Yuan Zhichen, but another "Secret Pattern Preliminary Examination" must not be known to outsiders, but it must also be copied and depicted every day, and it must not be abandoned for a day.
After reading the letter, Yuan Zhichen took out the piano music and two atlases from the package.
Because of the master's special explanation, he first picked up the booklet of "The Preliminary Examination of the Secret Pattern" and looked through it, and found that this booklet was very thin, only a dozen pages, and there was almost no text description on each page, only some strange patterns and patterns, strange shapes, some shaped like wild beasts, some shaped like strange birds, and some like mountains, rocks, flowers and trees in different shapes. Looking closely, I feel that these patterns are mysterious and mysterious, and I can't figure it out!
Yuan Zhichen stared at these patterns and gradually looked a little fascinated, his eyes gradually began to be confused, and he seemed to be deeply immersed in them and couldn't extricate himself. Yuan Lie saw that his son stared at the thin booklet for a long time without saying a word, and he was not a little strange, and he bent down and found that there was something wrong with his son's eyes, and he was startled. Quickly patted his son on the shoulder. Yuan Zhichen came back to his senses and looked around blankly. Only then did he gradually come to his senses.
Thinking of what the master and Master Sorrow had said, Yuan Lie asked without some worry, "Xiao Chen, are you okay?"
"Oh, I'm fine, by the way, Dad, after the master asked you to read the book "Danqing Instructions", guide me in my calligraphy and painting homework!"
Yuan Lie took the book suspiciously, turned the first page and looked at it, and when he saw it, he fell into it, and shouted "admiration and admiration" in his mouth, and he actually stood and read the book and forgot about his son. He is also a very talented person, in his early years in the school, his poetry Danqing was also outstanding and attained. This directive undoubtedly had a great attraction to him.
Yuan Zhichen saw that his father was fascinated by reading, so he took the qin music, and quietly left by himself, going to another room to pick up the guqin.
Looking at the qin music in front of him, Yuan Zhichen was a little at a loss, although he had studied, but the master did not teach him too much in this regard, and now he has to master these songs by himself, and the difficulty is not ordinary. Besides, what the master used to teach was just some ordinary tunes, like these tunes called "The Language of the Moon" and "Canghai" in front of him, it seems that it is very difficult, how should he learn it? Yuan Zhichen began to worry!
After thinking about it, Yuan Zhichen still went to find his father.
Yuan Lie held the book, still standing in place, looking up and closing his eyes to think about something. Hearing the voice, Yuan Lie opened his eyes, and said to his son with his eyebrows fluttering: "Xiao Chen, Master Ding is really a strange person, and he is definitely a generation of grandmasters. His book "Danqing Guidelines" is an unprecedented summary of calligraphy and painting! His understanding of the way of Danqing is simply incomparable, not only mentioning the style and skills of various schools of Danqing, but also pointing out the advantages and disadvantages! The most admirable thing is that he pointed out the fundamentals of Danqing and Danqing, and sorted out the artistic conception, brush technique, composition management, and so on, and even mentioned the thesis that 'the soul is the soul of painting'! I have benefited a lot from reading this guide!
Maybe he was too excited, Yuan Lie's mood was very high, and he was a little talking, and he didn't care whether Yuan Zhichen understood it or not.
Yuan Zhichen just said "oh", and said, "Dad, after the master asked you to read it, teach me to practice!"
It's no wonder that Yuan Zhichen is just a child who doesn't know the world, and Yuan Lie knows the value of this "Danqing Instructions", because this book also includes some lost Danqing techniques, including some unheard of penmanship skills. He knew how much shock it would cause in the Holy Heavenly Emperor Dynasty if it were to be circulated.
In fact, what the two fathers and sons don't know is that this "Danqing Instructions" is not only a calligraphy and painting guide and the heavenly book-like "Secret Pattern Preliminary Examination", but also involves a mysterious inheritance. For the world, it may just be a precious secret book related to painting.
Yuan Lie saw that his son didn't seem to be in high spirits, so he asked, "What are you doing looking for your father?"
"Dad, Mr. Ding wants you to guide me to practice Danqing skills!" Yuan Zhichen shouted, "By the way, I don't learn much of the qin music taught to me by the master, Dad, you have to teach me too!"
Yuan Lie smiled embarrassedly: "Xiao Chen, Dad's Danqing level is not comparable to your husband at all, at most I can only give you some basic allocation." As for the piano art, hehe, my dad doesn't have much contact at all, so I can't give you any advice!"
It's no wonder that Master Ding was in a hurry, and he didn't expect Yuan Lie to give Yuan Zhichen much help, but he just did his best to obey the will of God.
Hearing Yuan Lie say this, Yuan Zhichen was very disappointed, and muttered: "Daddy, you are so bad!" If he had heard this before, Yuan Lie would have slapped his son on the head, but now, he could only laugh a few times at himself.
After thinking about it, Yuan Lie changed the subject: "Son, don't you want to be a martial artist? Daddy can teach you some martial arts skills, do you want to learn?"
Sure enough, Yuan Zhichen's attention was immediately diverted, and he asked excitedly: "Really, Dad, great! I can finally be a martial artist! By the way, can my younger brother learn with me?"
"Yes, my brother will study with you!" Yuan Lie sighed secretly.
Yuan Zhichen cheered, turned around and ran to find his younger brother.
Hearing that he could learn martial arts, the chubby Yuan Zhiyue hurriedly came to his father with his brother happily.
Yuan Lie's plan is that no matter how far his two sons can go after learning martial arts, his secret skills must be passed on to them. Perhaps, it may not be possible for a son to be able to stand out on this basis!
After thinking about it, Yuan Lie instructed his son to fetch another basin and a bucket of water.
He poured some water into the basin, and then called his two sons, and he lifted the remaining water from the bucket himself, and gently poured it into the basin, and the thin stream of water poured into the basin, causing a circle of ripples, and the bottom of the basin bubbled, and it broke up until the surface of the water.
Yuan Lie put down the bucket and asked with a smile, "What do you see?"
Yuan Zhiyue looked at his father blankly: "I saw a basin of water and a bucket of water!" Yuan Zhichen also nodded!
When Yuan Lie heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and gritted his teeth and said, "Two rabbit cubs, are you so enlightened?"
"Dad, I saw it, there were ripples in the basin, round and round. Yuan Zhichen saw that his father was a little angry, and hurriedly said seriously.
The little fat Dunyuan Zhiyue hurriedly nodded his little head and said: "Mmmm, Dad, I also saw small bubbles in the water, they exploded one after another, it's fun!"
Yuan Lie was stunned for a moment, wiped a handful of cold sweat, and said angrily: "These two boys, how dare you fool me?
The two boys hurriedly restrained their expressions and obediently obeyed.
Don't care about joking with his son, Yuan Lie said solemnly: "You two boys, remember it for me, no matter what you understand just now, but, if you have time, you can take a look at these more, or waterfalls, it will be of great benefit to your martial arts practice In addition, my father will tell you some mantras later." You should remember that these mantras are the work of my father for many years, and you can only figure out and practice them yourself. Without my father's permission, you must not let any outsiders know! Remember?"
When the brothers saw what their father said solemnly, they both nodded vigorously.
Yuan Lie nodded with satisfaction, and then took his son to the room and told the two sons in detail the mantra and essentials of "Shockwave".
What makes Yuan Lie relieved is that although his son is young and he can't see any genius at this time, his comprehension is still good, and he can ask in time to understand what he doesn't understand, after all, he has not been exposed to martial arts before, and Yuan Lie is also patient to explain. By the way, I introduced in detail some common sense of the human body's meridians and acupuncture points, as well as some precautions when cultivating.
As he was talking, it seemed that someone had come to find Yuan Lie. The Qin family shouted outside the door: "Father, the eldest brother of the Lin family is coming to you!"
Yuan Lie's father and son all went out, and in the corner of the yard, the little dog saw that the little master came out, and he hurriedly shook his head to join in the fun.
Two men came in the courtyard gate, one tall and thin, the other short and stout. Yuan Lie greeted him and said with a smile: "Lin Ting Linde, didn't you work today, why did you have time to come to me?"
The short man smiled innocently: "Yuan Lie, I came with Lin Ting to discuss something with you!"
Lin Ting, who was tall and thin on the side, nodded and didn't speak. Qin Shi turned around and quickly brought out tea and snacks to greet the guests, and the brothers also quickly moved out of the stools and asked the adults to sit down in the courtyard to talk about things.
Linde smiled and patted the brothers on the head. The two children were teasing the fat fat on the side, while listening to the adults talk about things.
Lin Ting picked up the tea on the small wooden table and took a sip: "Yuan Lie, recently we heard that the martial arts hall and spiritual cultivation hall in the city have begun to recruit a large number of disciples from the outside world, and I heard that the recruitment threshold has been lowered and is no longer so harsh. Lin Liang of my family and Lin Xi of Lin De's family are also clamoring to go. We thought that this was not a bad thing, so we came to you to discuss. β
Lin Ting and Lin De's family are ordinary Zhuang families, they have a close relationship with the Yuan Lie family, and they usually move around a lot, and Yuan Lie had a small reputation in the town in the past, so if there is any major matter, they all come to him to discuss.
Yuan Lie smiled when he heard this: "This is not a bad thing, in the past, the threshold for accepting apprentices in the city was high, and I didn't have the heart to let the children go." In the past few days, I've been thinking about sending my son there!"
Lin De, a straightforward man, was overjoyed and patted his thigh: "That's good, Xiao Chen and the others play together almost every day, and now they can go to the city together as disciples, and their little brothers take care of each other, and we are much more relieved!"
Lin Ting also nodded: "Then let's say it." Besides, your eldest brother Yuan Cong is also on business in the city, so he has a care. β
The two brothers had sharp ears, and when they heard these words, they ran over and shouted, "Great, let's go to the city to learn martial arts together." Finally have company!" he said, jumping for joy.
Yuan Lie frowned and said, "Little broken child, don't be complacent." Brother can go, Xiaoyue, you are still young, you can't go, stay at home first. β
"Ah, why?" Xiao Yue asked his father with a blinking eye and a shriveled face.
