followed Miao Hengsheng to Sai Xizhi's house, Sai Xizhi was already equipped with paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and seemed to know that Miao Hengsheng and Shen Xiqiao would inevitably come.

"Come, boy, come over and paddle and paddle?" Sai Xizhi didn't say much to greet, and handed a soft pen to Shen Xiqiao straight to the point.

Shen Xiqiao has practiced some big characters, and he has a little confidence in his heart, holding a pen in his hand, sitting firmly on the stool, laying out rice paper, and hanging his wrist to write.

"Outside the body is full of sorrow and emptiness, and joy is often scarce in the eyes. Ming ......"

After writing the finished words, Sai Xizhi saw that he said to himself: "Well, there are some skills, but I don't practice for a day, go back three days, and I need to improve every day!" Sai Xizhi said, picked up the pen, and still wrote calmly according to what Shen Xiqiao wrote.

Shen Xiqiao looked at it again, Sai Xizhi's font has more or less Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun's penmanship, the momentum of Yan Zhenqing, the structure of Ouyang Xun, in the coherent, there are some Wang Xizhi's meaning, the whole text, the meaning of the seal is strong, the momentum is soaring, the structure is dangerous, it can be described as impressive.

Shen Xiqiao silently praised after reading it, but also had doubts in his heart, Sai Xizhi saw the meaning and said: "Calligraphy and painting have the same origin, but calligraphy is the mother of painting, learning words first, painting last, there is a solid foundation of calligraphy, and the basic skills of painting have one or two." ”

Shen Xiqiao looked up at Sai Xizhi again.

"Let's learn the words first...... Take a three-year cycle. Sai Xizhi stretched out three fingers and said, without waiting for Shen Xiqiao to answer, he said: "Come to my house at this time every day, start with the seal!"

"Why is it not regular script?" asked Shen Xiqiao.

"Seal script is the source of the book, wonderful in a line, the most basic practice, step by step, in order to be deep-rooted. Saixi's answer.

After listening to Sai Xizhi's words, Shen Xiqiao looked up at Miao Hengsheng again, Miao Hengsheng spread his hands, as if to say, this is the only way, first learn calligraphy and then learn painting. Spread your hands, Miao Hengsheng is moving out.

"I'll practice here today first......" As he spoke, Sai Xizhi handed Shen Xiqiao a booklet, and Shen Xiqiao looked at it and wrote three big characters on it, "History of the Chapter".

Shen Xiqiao immediately looked at it in his hand, only to feel that the writing font was crooked, but it was quite strong, and suddenly he saw that the pen was weak, and he was finely closed, all of which were strong and breathtaking.

"Do you still feel like a monkey?" asked Sai Xizhi.

Isn't that a monkey? Shen Xiqiao thought to himself, but said on his lips: "It does feel like a puppet, and every setback in it is all where the skill lies, it seems sticky, but ordinary people can't imitate it." ”

"Of course! Many skills are so profound that they seem simple, but in fact they are even more difficult to learn. Saixi said.

Shen Xiqiao heard this, was silent, and copied it word by word according to this book.

Sure enough, it seems simple, but it is actually difficult, no matter horizontal or vertical, not to mention skimming, how to write is how discouraged, the silkworm head will be written, the tiger tail has become the tip of the rat tail, the rat tail is a taboo for calligraphers, catch up with the tiger tail to write, the silkworm head has lost its appearance, and has become a whisker tip, in short, it is Gu head regardless of the tail, Gu tail regardless of the head.

"It's not too early to practice today, it's better to get a ......," Sai Xizhi said to Shen Xiqiao while sipping tea.

Shen Xiqiao was already obsessed with poetry, calligraphy and painting, this was reminded, and he suddenly realized, but no, it was already ten o'clock at noon, and he was called by Sai Xizhi early in the morning.

"Gurgling ......" stomach rang and sounded, at this time, although Shen Xiqiao was provoked by poetry, calligraphy and painting, it didn't seem to be tired of chopping wood and carrying water, but if he didn't eat, after all, he couldn't fight the survival needs of ordinary people, and as soon as the sweat came out, the three souls panicked, and the six gods would have no owner.

is panicking, the door is pushed, is another person pushing the door and entering, this person does not care about politeness, just willful enter, this person is not someone else, it is the pet door leaf worm Qiu.

"Master Ye, this, this is difficult for Sai, this is the time to learn words. Sai Xizhi pretended to be unhappy.

"There is only one complaint, you must know, Tianqu is the mother of habits, I think I am also tired of this apprentice, I am frightened and disturbed by you many, even the womb of the sages is also made in the clouds, I don't know what to do, come and go, apprentice, for the teacher and compassion, come and drink this porridge first. ”

Shen Xiqiao saw it, and it became more and more inexplicable, this leaf insect autumn has never had any contact, just passing by in the face, how can I still know what I think, holding a bowl of porridge, it is a charcoal in the snow.

No matter what, after all, I am better than these masters, so I know my warmth and coldness.

"Master Ye, this, this is really ashamed, I can't learn even a little bit of the real thing, but I bother you to deliver rice and soup. As he spoke, Shen Xiqiao arched his hand.

"Cricket cricket ......" did not wait for the leaf worm to respond, but the cricket in his arms seemed to understand the words of the person and responded on his behalf.

Shen Xiqiao saw that this master was interesting, he didn't say anything but waited for insects, and his unrestrained personality was very consistent with himself, and he didn't say much, he took the porridge bowl in his hand, tilted his neck, and drank it all away.

Just about to lick up the remaining grains and eat them clean, the leaf worm Qiu hurriedly grabbed it.

"Hey, hey, that's it, forget it, my treasures are still waiting to be filled. Saying that, the leaf worm Qiu pinched up a few rice grains and put them in his arms, at this time, the crickets suddenly chirped more sufficiently, and after a while, the chirping gradually stopped, and the sound of the cricket gradually rose, and after a while, it was silent.

"Master Ye, this, you love things, are you, asleep?" asked Shen Xiqiao.

"Naturally, people and animals are the same way, the insect road is still like this, Mo Dao those big things are animals, these little insects still belong to the animal road, there are all kinds of complexes, knowing that this is full of warmth and cold sleepiness, not less than dogs, horses, pigs and sheep, but the body is small, most people will not care. ”

"Xiqiao?" called Leaf Worm Autumn.

"Hmm!" Shen Xiqiao replied.

"I'm going to give you one meal a day. "Leaf worm autumn road.

When Shen Xiqiao heard this, he thought to himself, one rice particle a day, it is not simple, "Yes!"

"One meal a day, one dew a day, one exercise a day, one song a day, one practice a day, one stroke a day...... "Ye Worm Qiu listened to Shen Xiqiao's response, and he told it again.

"It's easy to understand one meal a day, what is the rest?" asked Shen Xiqiao

"One dew a day, that is, water without roots every day to be fed. "Leaf worm autumn road.

"Rootless water?" Shen Xiqiao asked again.

"Yes, it's dew, the dew between the leaves, the dew on the stones, it's all dew. "The leaf worm replied.

"What about the others?" Shen Xiqiao asked again.

"Every day, that is, at noon, the sun is strong, you must take it out, let it do whatever it wants. Leaf worm Qiu replied again. Without waiting for Shen Xiqiao to ask again, Ye Qiqiu continued: "This is a song every day, if you have a good tune, you can play the piano alone, and listen to this cricket, if it is still shallow, you can go to the guest room of the qin sound and make a song on your behalf, so as to soothe the spirit of this worm." ”

Shen Xiqiao heard it, this is too evil, for such a bug, what a mess, the most terrible thing is that to listen to a tune for it, and go to the qin sound guest, how can the qin sound guest be dependent, I didn't see it, only Mu Xiaoliao can let him teach it by hand, such a bug, let alone play to listen, it is not easy to take it into the house.

But Shen Xiqiao really didn't say it, because there was still a practice every day and a stroke every day, and this time, he wanted to hear the leaf worm Qiu explain clearly.

Ye Worm Qiu understood what he meant, and paused and said: "This is a practice every day, but it will be released, followed by it, flashing its mouth and cheeks, making it jump, and it has moved its muscles and bones." ”

Shen Xiqiao thought about it, okay, this is raising crickets, isn't this waiting for the master.

Don't talk about stroking it every day, don't you want to know it, "This daily petting, is it waiting for it to be full of wine and food, turning it over and rubbing its belly?" Shen Xiqiao replied as if asking.

"Enlightenment, exactly, but almost, not wine feet, but tea feet, must be after the meal is full, feed some Longjing tea, and then turn your stomach and stroke ninety-eight times. "Leaf worm autumn road.

"Why is it still two times, less than a hundred?" asked Shen Xiqiao.

"Forty-nine times clockwise, forty-nine times counterclockwise, and so on, ninety-eight times. "Leaf worm autumn road.

Shen Xiqiao heard it and thought to himself, this is more difficult than serving his master, he thought that feeding half a soybean every day was enough, and he agreed for a while, who would have thought that he had become a slave of insects.

"Just do it!" Shen Xiqiao gritted his teeth, but he still coped with it.

"Okay, but ......," said Leaf Worm Autumn.

"But what?" Shen Xiqiao was already impatient.

"However, after these forty-nine times are full, you still need to rub your life door ninety-nine times. Leaf worm Qiu said again.

"Where did this come from?" asked Shen Xiqiao through gritted teeth.

"It's all about eating. "The leaf worm replied.

This said that Shen Xiqiao's nose was crooked, and he thought, in order to eliminate food, then he can't eat less, I haven't heard of crickets feeding tea, Longjing tea is a cold thing, crickets are insects with horns, cold bodies, for the sake of cool things, can you not touch your stomach and make it warm, this is simply taking off your pants and farting.

"It's just a fart......" Shen Xiqiao blurted out when he thought of this.

"Wonderful, enlightenment, is to let it fart, otherwise the qi is depressed in the body, which is not good for the body and mind. Leaf insect autumn clapped his hands.

"Hey!?" Shen Xiqiao scratched his head, feeling that everyone was teasing him, if it was before, he would have had a seizure, but now he is also a little mature, although he still has something to say, but if he thinks about it, it is better to say less, and Shen Xiqiao promised again.

"Can you do it?" asked Ye Worm Qiu again.

"Yes, every day is a grain, a dew, a stretch of the legs and waist, a listening to music, a jump, a fart out of the ......" Shen Xiqiao repeated.

"Yes, but this time to listen to the music, I must go to the room of the qin to listen to the music of the qin......" Ye Worm Qiu instructed.

"Yes, yes, yes......" Shen Xiqiao said three yes in a row, thinking, what can a cricket know, and when the time comes, he can whistle twice in his mouth.

Ye Worm Qiu heard him say yes again and again, so he took out a chicken heart gourd from his sleeve, and took out the gourd of "cricket cricket ......", and the cricket was like exhaling fresh breath and kept screaming......
