Selling words and paintings for a living, it sounds elegant, but in fact it is embarrassing and unspeakable.

Lu Ying calligraphy learned from "Chu Ti", but his qualifications were mediocre, and he couldn't learn the law, Chu Suiliang's strength, beauty, bones, and rhyme, he didn't learn the same.

As for painting, just like the crowns of later generations, Lu Ying is self-taught. Of course, it is also like calligraphy, limited by qualifications and low achievements.

is not only not high-achievement, but also has a low reputation, this market for selling calligraphy and painting is self-evident.

The two of them sat in a corner of the market for a long time, and only sold a hand-copied volume of "The Book of Filial Piety".

Dozens of copper plates, barely enough forage for two horses to go back and forth.

Lu Ying was in a low mood, lost her interest in the discussion, and packed her things to go home from the city.

Li Yu hurriedly stopped.

Don't go out of the city, if you leave, the plot won't go.

Li Yu persuaded: "Brother, wait a minute, there will always be someone who knows the goods." Lu Ying said that if it was any longer, he might miss the trip. I want to walk at night, and I am afraid that I will not be able to live.

Li Yu said that if this is the case, he will find a hostel in the city to live.

Lu Ying smiled bitterly: "Ruan Nang is shy, and he is in a dilemma. We can't afford to live in this hostel. ”

Li Yu was dumbfounded.

There is not much left in the three-day time limit. What Li Yu has gained now is only the [intellectual] experience gained by chatting with Lu Ying.

He didn't ask for this kind of experience when he entered [Lu Sheng].

"The Pillow in the Pillow" has two protagonists, Lu Sheng and Taoist Lu Weng.

Lu Sheng has nothing to say, this Lu Weng is one of the eight immortals Lu Dongbin.

But as long as Li Yu can get a little benefit from him, it will be worth the trip.

The true recipe for cultivating immortals and enlightening the Tao is the best, and the method of forging the body and refining qi is also acceptable. The worst thing is that you have to get a mysterious spell similar to the "Secret Record of the Avenger".

Lu Weng is a treasure mountain, and Li Yu is confident that he will never "enter the treasure mountain and return empty".

After all, his "character panel" has an additional status of "Immortal Fate +10".

Don't all immortals like to pay attention to fate, it's not good to let him go home empty-handed, right?

It's just that Li Yu's abacus crackled, but he didn't expect the situation in front of him-

No money!

Can't stay in the hotel!

Can't meet Lu Weng!

Could it be that his first "moonlight journey" died on this blockage?

What to do!

Li Yu thought about what to do, but Lu Ying packed up his bag and he didn't even go to help.

His eyes circled back and forth on Lu Ying's calligraphy works, and Li Yu pondered how to sell these things.

Well, the ordinary people can't understand it, the businessmen and wealthy households can't look at it, and the literati don't even look at it......

Take a look......

Li Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said loudly to Lu Ying: "Come on!" ”

Lu Ying was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Yu: "Virtuous brother? ”

Li Yu didn't explain, and said with a smile: "Brother, give me a pen and paper." ”

Lu Ying didn't ask anymore, nodded in response, opened the cloth bag again, took out the four treasures of the study and handed them over.

Li Yu spread out the rice paper, dipped the ink and brush, and made a full posture. In Lu Ying's strange gaze, Long Feifeng danced and wrote the four big words "diligence can make up for clumsiness".

Li Yu moved quite loudly, and his demeanor seemed exaggerated, which attracted the attention of three passers-by. When he finished writing, two of the three passers-by shook their heads and sneered and walked away, while the other rested.

"Brother Xian, you ...... You ......" Lu Ying frowned and looked at the word, wanting to speak again.

The virtuous brother has a good mind and is very talented, only this word......

What a mess!

Holding the pen, moving the wrist, using the pen, making the ink, the mistake is unbearable; The structure, the chapter, the rhyme, and the breath are not even seen.

Lu Ying even felt that the schoolchildren in the village came and fell a few strokes, which were better than this.

However, it was such a "mess" word, and when the passer-by who stopped saw it, he said yes in a loud voice!

even took out more than a dozen [Kaiyuan Tongbao] from his arms and bought the words.

Lu Ying was dumbfounded.

Then, Li Yu wrote a few more paintings, and they were all bought.

Lu Ying was very puzzled, so he went to look at Li Yu's words again.

Length, thickness, shade......

It's still a mess!

Some words are not an exaggeration to say that they are naughty children.

For example, write "dragon", wrap around, paint the dragon's head, draw the dragon's tail; When writing "horse", the four hooves are in the air, and the head is raised and neighing; There are also "Buddha" and "Zen", which are often a large piece of paper, and then draw a small monk with his legs on his knees and his palms together.

It's not a word, it's not a painting, it's vulgar.

But it was these "vulgar things" that won the joy of many people, and they spent Tongbao to buy them.

It also attracted many onlookers, including butchers, farmers, Confucian scholars, and businessmen, pointing fingers and making different evaluations.

The peasant said that the bird on the word was extremely fat, and the butcher said that it was refreshing to look at, and the merchants were thoughtful, and the Confucian sneered at it.

"[System]: Time limit for '[Lu Sheng]' boundary: 1:59."

Li Yu put away the pen and paper.

The onlookers asked, "Scholar, why didn't you write it?" ”

"My book is a side door, and I can't get into the hall of elegance." Li Yuchao threw his hands around to compose, "I was poor and hungry, and it was really difficult to continue, so I took advantage of this book to sensationalize the public and earn some expenses." Now that the money is enough, naturally I don't dare to stain the eyes of the elders anymore. ”

A few Confucian scholars in the crowd were about to reprimand, but when they saw that he thought he was a "leftist", they gave up.

And they dispersed.

Lu Ying and Li Yu packed up and led their horses to the outside of the city.

Lu Ying was curious about the origin of his "leftist calligraphy", and Li Yu said that he got it when he was in the rivers and lakes, and the name was "Jianghu style".

In fact, this "Jianghu style" is a kind of calligraphy font hated by many people in the calligraphy world in later generations.

This body does not come to the ancient post, does not talk about penmanship, only practices words by himself, and blindly pursues visual impact.

The most criticized thing about Jianghu style is its lack of basic rules and pen and ink literacy.

is also the reason why Lu Ying commented on "a mess".

Lu Ying smiled bitterly and said: "There are people who like the left road, but I am not welcome as a rule-by-law." ”

Li Yu comforted: "Current affairs are like this, it's not my brother's fault. It's just a pity that my brother's talent is not applicable to the world. ”

When Lu Ying heard this, she was used in her heart, and regarded Li Yu as "the first confidant in her life".

The two walked and chatted and came to a hostel.

This Sheluying has lived many times, and it is said that it is cheap and affordable.

The shopkeeper greeted him and asked with a smile: "Lu Langjun wants to stay in the hotel?" ”

Seeing Lu Ying nodding, he called the servant, sent the horses and lines to the backyard, and led the two into the guest house.

The store took out the [store book] registration information, although he was curious about how Li Yu left his hometown and came to Ganyu Danyu, but with Lu Ying as a guarantee, there were no twists and turns.

After the registration was completed, the store asked "Can you eat", and the two shook their heads.

The store arranged them in the lobby, waiting for the dinner with a few other customers.

Li Yu looked around, paused at a Taoist priest who had put away his hat, untied his clothes, and was sitting against a bag, and then quietly looked away.

"[System]: Time limit for '[Lu Sheng]' boundary: 23 minutes."

Li Yu pinched his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Lu Ying asked with concern: "Brother Xian, are you unwell?" ”

"It's just a little painful in my head, this is a trivial matter, don't worry about it." Li Yudao.

After a while, the store led five more people into the lobby. There are a lot of people, and the other seats can't be opened.

The shopkeeper came over and said to Li Yu and the others: "Two Langjun, it's convenient." ”

He wanted to ask the two to sit with the other to make room for the new five.

Lu Yingji was worried about Li Yu's headache and didn't want to go over. But Li Yu was as good as a stream, and immediately got up. Lu Ying had no choice but to go over together and fight with the Taoist priest.

During the banquet, Lu Sheng asked Li Yu if he was better, and Li Yu was moved and said, "It's okay."

"I think Xiao Langjun is healthy and full of energy, there should be no major incident, this Langjun doesn't have to worry." The Taoist priest on the side suddenly interjected.

The former Langjun is talking about Li Yu, and the latter Langjun is Lu Ying.

Li Yu's heart tightened, and said: "I have a lot of headaches when I am sleepy and nervous, I don't know why. If the Taoist is proficient in medicine, can you take a look at it for me? ”

"It's not my long time to heal the disease, otherwise it will be a relief for Lang Jun." The Taoist priest glanced at Li Yu's left hand and refused directly.

Li Yu's expression froze.

The Taoist priest turned to Lu Ying and said, "Lang Jun, I see that you look depressed and worried, and you seem to have a knot in your heart." I am good at divining evil fortune and relieving people's worries. The Quartet has traveled for decades, and there has never been anything that has not worked. Can you let the poor way give you a hexagram? ”

"Thank you for your concern, I don't have any knots." Lu Ying didn't take his words, but said to Li Yu, "The Taoist has no way to cure the disease, so my brothers and sisters will have dinner earlier and go to the hospital." ”

Lu Ying didn't go on the road, and Li Yu was very distressed.

Lu Daochang seems to have no feeling for [Immortal Fate +10], so what can he do?

Let's go to the plot first and wait and see what happens.

Li Yu persuaded Lu Yingdao: "Brother, my headache is due to years of chronic illness and I can't rush it." Now sit back and wait for the meal to be cooked, and there is nothing to do, so why not let this Taoist master take a look at it for you. ”

"Brother Xian, I hit it off with you at first sight, and we have a good relationship. If there is any knot in your heart, how can I not tell you? Lu Ying disagreed, and then frowned and said to the old Taoist, "If the Taoist is missing entanglement, it is the wrong person." Our brother has no money. ”

Yes, Lu Ying regarded the old Taoist priest as a charlatan.

Taoist priest Lu Weng's heart was bored.

He is a master of enlightenment, and as long as his identity is revealed, he will be worshiped as a living immortal wherever he is. It's not obvious, and everyone respects it, why is it Lu Ying's turn not to be entertained like this?

There is also this Li Langjun, who has fate, has a strange treasure, and can't calculate the bottom line, but he is a turbid mortal.

Both horizontally and vertically are strange.

The Taoist priest was full of doubts in his heart.

He took a hexagram half a month ago, and the hexagram suggested that the person who had the fate was Lu Sheng in Shezhong. If it is pointed, it can be included in the mountain gate.

This morning's whim, the repetition of the hexagram is already very different.

Not to mention that there are one more people, this time the journey of ignition has also been blurred.

Li Yu was speechless when he saw the plot trend.

Isn't it supposed that "the Taoist priest comes to ask each other, the scholar complains, and then a pillow of yellow sorghum"?

Elder brother...... Why don't you follow the routine!

"Ahem!" The Taoist priest cleared his throat and asked Lu Yingdao, "Dare to ask if Lang Jun's surname is Lu?" ”

Lu Ying was stunned: "It's surnamed Lu, how do you know?" Oh, I just heard from the store, right? ”

"Calculated by divination." The Taoist priest stroked the goat's whiskers under his chin and said slowly, "Not only did I calculate your surname Lu, but I also knew that you were frustrated in the field and had no way out, and you have been busy for most of your life." ”

"Huh!"

Lu Ying was surprised, this old Taoist priest turned out to be a person with real skills.

Li Yu on the side was also surprised: "The Taoist is really a god, my brother has his own hills and ravines in his chest, but he can't achieve fame and is trapped in acres." The Taoist chief said that the heart knot should refer to this. ”

The Taoist priest glanced at Li Yu and pondered in his heart, although this person is a mortal fetus, he also has a fate. If the trip goes well, he will be given a method to turn stones into gold to ensure that he will be rich and free of food and clothing throughout his life.

After Li Yu transferred from the circle, Lu Ying's attitude improved, and he said to the Taoist priest in disbelief: "Since the Taoist knows my heart knot, what is the solution?" ”

The Taoist priest took out a celadon pillow from the bag behind him, handed it to Lu Ying, and said, "With this pillow, you can realize your ambition of going out and going to the prime and eating at the top." ”

Lu Sheng took the celadon pillow suspiciously, and asked the Taoist priest: "Really? ”

Taoist priest: "Try it." ”

Lu Ying was still hesitating, and Li Yu couldn't wait.

"[System]: Time limit for '[Lu Sheng]' boundary: 12 minutes."

Li Yu said to Lu Ying: "Brother, you and I have no wealth or treasure, and there is nothing worth deceiving the Taoist." Why not give it a try? ”

The Taoist priest looked at Li Yu more pleasantly, but he shook his head when he heard Li Yu talk about "no treasure". Although this baby has a strange treasure, he can't recognize it or use it, which is a pity.

It's just that he has the fate of the law, so it's better to take it under the door together. Even if you can't be a disciple, you can be an alchemy boy who fanned the wind and ignited the fire.

Lu Ying here was finally moved by Li Yu's words. Under the smiling gaze of the Taoist priest, the two went to the reserved house.

After entering the door, Li Yu kept pinching his eyebrows.

The true recipe is gone, the method is gone, and the spell is flying.

What to do?

Tossing this trip, can you give a title of [Xuanpin]?

It doesn't have to be that little bit of [intellectual] experience, right?

"Brother Xian, is it because of the headache again?" Lu Ying asked with concern.

Li Yu nodded, and Lu Ying said: "I have been delayed for a long time for this old Taoist, so I don't need to try this pillow." Brother Xian, let's go to the hospital now. ”

"This headache is a once-in-a-bit attack, and it will get better after a while." Li Yu's heart moved, and he suddenly said to Lu Sheng, "Brother, I think this old Taoist is also a master of Taoism, I don't know if the pillow is right for my illness?" Can I give it a try? ”

"Of course you can give it a try, but didn't the old Taoist priest say that he wouldn't be able to heal himself?"

"I'm just trying."

"Okay, here you go."

Outside the guest house, the Taoist priest felt something in his heart, and always felt that something was lost. pinched his fingers, but he didn't figure out why.

……

A moment later, there was a sudden howl in the house!

"Brother Xian!!"

The Taoist priest was stunned, what's wrong?

I'll just take in a disciple, is it easy for me!

Before he could finish sighing, he saw Lu Ying running out of the house with red eyes and a hideous face, grabbed the old Taoist priest's collar, and cried: "Demon Dao! Return my virtuous brother!! ”

"Give back my good brother!"
