Chapter 2: "Wenxin Carving Dragon"
Chen Youniao is no stranger to "Wenxin Carving Dragon", after all, he was born in the Chinese department in his previous life, but this book in his mind is different, antique, thick one.
Is this an illusion?
Or is it the golden finger that comes with your own crossing?
He perked up and curiously moved his mind to open it to see.
Who knew that he couldn't turn it, it was very difficult, his head was groggy and very tired.
I tried two or three times, but to no avail, so I had to give up and talk about it with enough energy.
After a while, Uncle Wang came in with a big bowl of porridge and two plates of pickles.
Chen Youniao was hungry and immediately started eating.
After eating, I took a nap again, and when I woke up, my mental outlook really improved, and I went to turn over the book "Wenxin Carving Dragon".
Flip it open......
For several days, he stayed in the cabin, looking demented, as if he had hit his brain, but in fact he had been concentrating on studying the sudden ancient book.
The book is divided into two parts:
The upper part says: "The Original Way of Learning", which contains thousands of chapters, including the original world's thousands of years of classic poetry and literature, as well as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., the category is very comprehensive.
Some of them were memorized by a lot in his previous life, such as "the bright moonlight in front of the bed", "how much do you know about the flowers";
But there are many more distant and obscure ones, even if he is a professional, he has only read one or two famous words and sentences in it, and he has no impression of the full text.
In the blank space at the back of "Original Path Learning", you can add a new entry, but I don't know how to operate. Presumably, it is to find good texts of value in this world and then include them.
The lower part said: "Divine Thoughts and Temperament".
This one seems mysterious and profound, but I see a white breath curling around, contained between the lines. Covered by these breaths, it is impossible to see what those words are written.
As the name suggests, the breath in the lower part is called "Wenqi" by Chen Youniao.
As the saying goes: there is poetry and books in the belly.
That's what I'm talking about.
Miraculously, the tone will increase.
If Chen Youniao often enters a meditative state, use his mind to read the text in the previous part of "Studying the Original Path". Whenever there is something to gain and understand, then the tone can be increased.
The increase is not large, often only one or two, relying on the accumulation of water mill work, the accumulation of small amounts.
Although I don't know what the specific effect of this tone is, in line with the principle that the more the merrier, on weekdays, Chen Youniao often immerses himself in his mind and goes to study the classic texts in the previous part of "Yuan Dao Learning". concentrated on this, but left all the exercises practiced in Laoshan behind and ignored them.
This is his profession, as well as his hobby and interest, and it can be used as an entertainment pastime in a boring and boring journey.
It is not easy to accumulate literary atmosphere, and it takes a lot of time to really read a poem in "Original Learning". Even a short poem like "Silent Night Thoughts" that is simple and can already be memorized backwards is not simple.
Because of the rules, it is difficult to get the recognition of "Wenxin Carving Dragon" by reading books like in the previous life, looking at the flowers and looking at the meaning of the text.
If it is not recognized, there will be no generation and increase of culture.
It is necessary to scrutinize it repeatedly, figure it out again and again, and even substitute it into the background and mood of the words and phrases of the poem, so that God is in the chest, and the scenes are blended, so that there is understanding.
On this day, Chen Youniao suddenly thought, if the tone can be increased, will it be reduced?
Since opening the book is beneficial and increases the tone, if you want to reduce the tone, you probably have to write it.
So he asked Uncle Wang to prepare the four treasures of the study.
The Chen family is a big family, and it is also a scholarly family, and some people have been officials from generation to generation.
Although Chen Youniao was sent to the mountain at a very young age to practice Taoism, he practiced pen and ink kung fu every day, but he did not fall behind, and he could write and write.
After dinner, I sat down at the bow of the boat, and a small table was set up in front of me, on which pen and ink were spread out, and white paper was pressed with a paperweight.
The canopy boat is carried on the river, just downwind, and the speed is not slow.
This Yi River is not an ordinary small river, it is several zhang wide, and the depth of the water is not known. A little farther away on both sides of the shore are the undulating mountains, which look like huge dragons and snakes from afar.
This world is mountainous and watery, with big mountains and big waters, and it seems primitive. I walked along the river for several days, but there was no one in sight.
Not long after, a bright moon hung in the sky, sprinkling a cold light and sparkling.
Chen Youniao raised his head to look at the month, and there were strange thoughts surging in his heart.
These days, he has gradually become accustomed to his identity and life after the crossing, but he still has some memories.
So he sharpened the ink, then raised his pen and wrote a poem by hand:
Moving the boat and mooring in the smoke, the sunset is sad and new, the wild sky is low and the trees are low, and the river is clear and the moon is close to people.
After writing it, I felt a sense of tiredness, which was quite exhausting.
Put down the brush, Chen Youniao went to see his own words, decent, better than upright, set of jargon, between the pen, more than ingenuity, lack of aura.
The words of the predecessor are so-so and not very satisfied.
Well, it seems that I have to use the pen and ink knowledge of the previous life to improve the level.
In the first part of "Wenxin Carving Dragon", "Original Dao Learning", there are also many classic calligraphy rubbings, such as "Lanting Collection Preface" and so on.
After eating these thoroughly, you can write beautiful characters, and even become a calligrapher, which also belongs to a way to advancement.
Chen Youniao closed his eyes, went to check the breath, counted carefully, and sure enough, he found that there were two Wen Qi missing - the original number was thirty-eight, but he could count it clearly, and now there are only thirty-six left.
It can be seen from this that after putting pen and ink, the tone will indeed be reduced.
So, what is unique about this pen and ink?
Chen Youniao immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully.
But looking at it, I really don't see any doorway.
He touched his chin, put the paper back on the small table, and when he was stunned, a gust of wind blew, rolled up the paper, and floated away in a blink of an eye.
He subconsciously reached out and fished it, but unfortunately he didn't catch it, and watched the paper fall into the water.
The paper is not resistant to water, not to mention the ink on it, and when it encounters water, it begins to melt, staining the river there black.
Written in vain.
Chen You's beak was flicked, but he didn't care too much, so he lost two pieces of culture.
Hey, Ben was expecting this tone to be of great use, but now it seems that it is not like that.
Feeling more and more sleepy, he went back to the cabin to rest.
The canopy boat drifted down under the control of the boatman, and it didn't take long for it to go far.
gurgling!
After the boat left, the water in the river suddenly churned, as if it were boiling. There was a wind and waves, and a big fish suddenly appeared, with a green body and a head and tail that were five or six feet long, very fierce.
Then there was another strange noise, but it was a black-bodied crab the size of a millstone, coming with teeth and claws.
A moment later, a hideous black shadow swam in, and it was a big snake, unknown how long, and from the waist down, all hidden in the river.
A fish, a snake, a crab.
The three alien creatures formed a horn twist, and in the central area around them, a cloud of river water was inky black, and it was not dispersed by the current.
As for the paper, it had already been swept into the river, and it was a mess, and it was missing.
gurgling!
There was a strange sound, and the three creatures rushed to devour the river water that was blackened by pen and ink......
Such a black river was quickly swallowed up.
"Humph!"
The herring flicked its tail and turned around and dived into deep water.
Whoa!
The long snake swam ashore, and its huge body passed by, crushing the dense woods and grasses, forming a terrible snake path.
The crab the size of a millstone was left, and a pair of eyes blinked, as if thinking of something, and their claws swiped and chased towards the downstream.
