Back at his residence, Yuan Chonghui flipped through the "Sea of Books", and couldn't help but be attracted by the words inside, it turned out that it was all about the knowledge and content of some calligraphy, and he was deeply impressed by the word "water" written by Mr. Hong that day, and hoped that he would be able to write such heart-warming words at will in the future, so he couldn't help but pick up the pen and began to practice calligraphy.

Writing and writing, I have also realized some Taoism: for example, to write with the tip of the pen, the importance of the pen is like a fast and slow writing mystery......

But as he wrote, he found several problems: first, in the process of going deep into the calligraphy, the later writing did not seem to be as good as the beginning of the writing; second, it was difficult for the mind to calm down when practicing calligraphy, and there was always a feeling of boredom; third, Mr. Hong did not take some calligraphy for them to copy, but wrote some words for them to figure out and learn, which is very different from the pursuit and learning of the calligraphy of the two kings on the earth in the previous life.

There were no answers to these questions in the book, so Yuan Chonghui went to ask Mr. Hong, who pondered for a while and answered the first question first: " When I first learned calligraphy, people's interest was stronger, they were more sensitive to strokes, and their observations were careful and meticulous, so it was naturally more standardized to write, and after a long time, the interest declined, and the thinking was slack, and the writing was not so serious, so it felt that it was not as good as when I first practiced, which means that your calligraphy has reached a bottleneck, and if you persevere, it will soon go to the next level. ”

For the second question, he did not answer directly, but asked Yuan Chonghui to write a note at will.

Yuan Chonghui casually wrote such a sentence: "Hongyu, I have eaten enough today, can I go out and rub it again?"

After reading the note written by Yuan Chonghui, Old Master Hong was speechless for a while. After Yuan Chonghui finished writing, Mr. Hong scrambled all the words on the note, asked him to write it again in the order of scrambling, and then arranged it in the original order of the note after writing, compared the font of the two writings, and then thought about why there was such a difference.

Yuan Chonghui was very puzzled by this strange arrangement of Old Master Hong, and he didn't understand whether this was for fun or something else, but he still kept his doubts in his heart and complied with them one by one.

When Yuan Chonghui put together the words he had written twice, he found that there was a noticeable difference, the second time was obviously not as good as the first time, no, the second time should be better than the first! Why did this happen? He was puzzled, so he asked Old Master Hong.

Old Master Hong said a meaningful sentence: "Words have spirits, and calligraphy has roads, but it also requires writers to invest their thoughts and feelings!"

He went on to explain, "When you practice calligraphy simply for the sake of practicing words, you just imitate them rigidly according to the writing method of the font, and the words are written to death, no different from other people's writing, there is no innovation and novelty, and it is naturally easy to be boring and boring, so it is difficult for the mind to calm down! But when you write with a certain purpose of application, your energy will naturally be concentrated, and it is easy to invest in your thoughts and feelings, so the words you write will be flexible and vivid, which is much better than simply writing." Therefore, when you don't use a word and don't give it vitality, it is just a rigid and rigid word without soul and vitality, so using it to make it alive is the key to calligraphy. Of course, how to use it to make it alive is directly related to the writer's cultivation and spirit, and it is also closely related to the environment and atmosphere when writing, and you will naturally understand it later. ”

"Write it with thought and emotion, use it, it will be full of vitality, and it will be good to write!" Yuan Chonghui suddenly understood the truth, "No wonder the calligraphy classics that have been handed down are some life notes, articles and the like, and there are few simple calligraphy!" Seeing that Yuan Chonghui understood the truth so quickly, Old Master Hong was very happy, he stroked the few thin beards on his chin and then answered the third question:" The way of calligraphy is broad and profound, advancing with the times, and even the sage of calligraphy cannot be said to have mastered all the mysteries of calligraphy, let alone the learners of later generations, let alone that he has reached the pinnacle of calligraphy, but he is just a climber who trekked on the road! ”

Master Hong Dun Dun taught: "The most taboo thing in calligraphy is to be ambitious, as for why you are not allowed to go to the past to write some fonts that everyone including the sage of calligraphy, is because your character cultivation cannot reach that height and level, once you fall into it, not only can you not learn the essence of it, but it is easy to go crazy and go astray!"

Yuan Chonghui listened to Old Master Hong's teachings, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but move in his heart, "Isn't this similar to Niandao!

After discovering the similarities between calligraphy and reading, I wondered in my heart, starting with "Haoran Righteous Song", how to build a bridge between calligraphy and reading, so as to master the power of words, in this way, I can make a lot of money!

Therefore, when Yuan Chonghui was fine, he chanted words in his mouth and pondered the Tao in it, which seemed a bit of a mental disorder to outsiders.

Those who know understand Yuan Chonghui's obsession with cultivation, and those who don't know think that he is a little crazy, quietly ran to report to the dean Mr. Hong, and Mr. Hong laughed at himself.

Maybe it's because he has a heart, Yuan Chonghui was thinking about the book and the Tao, and Hongyu came. It turned out that this section of Hongyu was choking enough in the Qidao Courtyard, and he thought that the life in the courtyard was too monotonous and boring, so he came over and quietly asked Yuan Chonghui if he wanted to sneak out to let off steam.

Yuan Chonghui naturally understood his careful thoughts, he must be greedy, and wanted to ask Qi Ji and others to go out to do some stealing and touching dogs, and did not readily agree like the note he wrote before, but gave him a chisel on the head, Hongyu covered his head and ran away grinning.

After driving away Hongyu, Yuan Chonghui calmed down again and realized "Haoran Righteous Song", if according to what Master Hong said, "Words have life, soul, and power", then this life, soul and power will definitely be hidden in the words, so you can start from the words themselves.

"The sun rises in the east, according to my mullioned window, wash my soul, Yao my Purple Emperor, the mountains and rivers appear, all things grow, the breath of Haoran, a flood of the ocean" These sentences say that the breath of Haoran appears and grows with the rise of the sun, and gives baptism and nourishment to the soul in the body, the purple mansion, including all things, then you visualize the sun!

As he read these few words, he visualized the appearance of the sun and the radiant appearance in his heart, and sure enough, with the impetus of the thoughts in the sea of knowledge, a warm breath slowly rose in his heart, much faster and much larger than simply reciting words.

There is a door! Yuan Chonghui was overjoyed in his heart.

Thinking about the following sentences again, "Promote its righteousness, dispel its perverseness, avoid the charm, and shock the spirit" is to say that the heroic righteousness has a deterrent and expelling effect on the yin and evil qi, and where the haoran qi goes, all evils are hidden.

He then visualized that his divine consciousness and mind drove this breath to expel the damp evil qi in his body, only to feel that the faint trace of cool qi in his body seemed to be slowly expelled out, which was really amazing!

If it is the sky, it will wear its firmament, if it is the earth, it will be yellow, if it is water, it will be a vast soup, if it is a mountain, it will be majestic, if it is a sword, it will cut off the void, if it is a furnace, and create the four directions", it means that the aura of Haoran can change into the shape of various things such as heaven, earth, water, and mountains, and has the great power of things.

It's just that the heaven and the earth are too vast, and he also knows that his breath is like a mayfly shaking a tree, so it's good to look at the mountains and rivers! So he muttered "If it is a mountain, it is majestic" while contemplating the shape of the "mountain" in his heart, he only felt that a great mountain in the sea of consciousness was shining with a mighty breath and came straight to his heart, and his eyes were so dark that he did not breathe in his breath, and quickly stopped contemplating.

Finally gasped for breath, Yuan Chonghui sighed in his heart that the breath that could function in his body was still too weak, and he couldn't bear such a strong thing as a mountain! He looked at the eight characters of "If it is water, Haohao soup soup", his eyes were a little uncertain, "water is soft and beneficial to all things", but he didn't know how vast the "Haohao soup soup" was, don't be the same as visualizing the mountain, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know whether to continue.

After struggling for a long time, he made up his mind, how can he know if it will work if he doesn't try! Then he continued to visualize the water, so he bit his teeth and tried again! He then muttered, "If it is water, the soup will be a soup," and at the same time he meditated on "water" in his heart The shape of the stream, at this time, I only felt that a river in the sea of consciousness exuding a majestic aura poured straight into the heart, instantly submerged the entire heart, and rushed towards the depths of the heart, but the positive character in the depths of the heart seemed to perceive something delicious, and swallowed this so-called torrent at once, and shook it, as if it was still unfinished.

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, but Yuan Chonghui's eyes turned black and he suddenly lost consciousness. Originally, when he was visualizing the mountain just now, he already had some internal injuries, and this time it was the injury on top of the injury that made him suffer this heavy setback, which was also fortunate to be devoured by the positive characters, and he had been reciting the Haoran Righteous Qi Recipe for some time, and the breath in his body had some familiarity and adaptation to it, and he could get a certain amount of storage in his lungs, and he would definitely explode and die!

When Yuan Chonghui woke up, he found himself lying on the bed, with the frowning old master Hong and the shopkeeper with a calm face standing beside him.

Seeing Yuan Chonghui wake up, Old Master Hong did not blame him for his recklessness and rashness, but stroked a few beards, and said to Yuan Chonghui with a wry smile: "Yuan boy, tell you the truth, the 'words with spirits' I told you are actually in different situations, and all people with physical constitutions can only affect and infect people when they write words because of their physique; 'Spirit character', is a type of spirit rune. 'Words' and 'characters', the difference between the two words is very different, and the word 'water' I wrote to you that day is a kind of spiritual character. “

Speaking of this, he said with a smile on his face: "I have dredged the meridians of Yu Sai for you, but the wounds between your lungs are more troublesome, and it may be difficult to heal for a while. In addition, in this way, the course of the initiation class has basically been completed, and during this time, you should go back to recuperate well, and then come to the academy to continue your studies after you have recovered. He also thought that Yuan Chonghui was caused by the cultivation of calligraphy, but he didn't know that it was the recitation of the Tao! However, there were similarities between the two at the beginning of cultivation, and it was difficult to distinguish them.

The shopkeeper didn't have such a good face, he said angrily: "Boy, I know that you are eager to cultivate, although the cultivation is about diligence, but also about chance, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, especially on the way of calligraphy, pay more attention to accumulation, ten years of sharpening a sword, how many days to die on the way of calligraphy, not to mention that you are a poor boy with ordinary qualifications and ordinary background! After speaking, he stuffed a pill to treat his body, and shook his hand to go to play chess with Old Master Hong, the last time he came to the academy to play chess with Old Master Hong, he lost a few games, and this time he had to get it back, otherwise he would not have the face to come to the academy again in the future.

After the two left, Yuan Chonghui thought about the words of the shopkeeper, every sentence is a wise saying, but according to the current situation, I don't know that the Year of the Monkey can become a strong person in cultivation, and he always has a sense of crisis when he can't wait for me.

Therefore, he recognized a principle - things are man-made, as long as he perseveres, he will always walk out of his own path of cultivation. I ran away from the words of the shopkeeper just now. Although Old Master Hong said that his wound in his lungs would not heal for a while, he believed that he had a way to cure it quickly, and the secret was in the Haoran Righteous Qi Technique!

He no longer visualizes, but still recites the song of Haoran righteousness, as the recitation progresses, the warm breath flows in the body again, with the cycle of Haoran righteousness in the sea of knowledge and the dantian, the cycle repeats, moisturizing the injured lungs and meridians over and over again. As the ancients said, the bell must be tied to the bell, and the injuries recovered quickly, and other injuries in the body also recovered, of course, the pills of the shopkeeper also contributed to it.

After recovery, Yuan Chonghui did not give up pondering the Haoran Righteous Qi Song, he quietly explored the reasons for the problem, and summed up a few, one is that his own power of thought is still too weak, and he can't bear such a huge thing as the mountains and rivers where Haoran Righteousness resides; second, his own contact time is too short, and he can't control his own breath easily; third, his own physical problem, the physical strength is not big enough, and he can't communicate with the outside aura, and the qi is naturally more prone to depression when circulating in the body, and the shopkeeper will not lie, and he who is from an ordinary background with ordinary qualifications may suffer suffering and twists and turns on the path of cultivation！

In response to the above problems, he thought about it repeatedly according to his own situation, and finally found a solution: first, cut off the relationship between the recitation of "The Song of Haoran Righteousness" and visualization, do not visualize when reciting, and do not recite when contemplating. Do you have a soul and power, you first communicate with the words in the Haoran Righteous Song itself, and after you are familiar with its inner soul and power, these words will not have the power to repel yourself from the mountains and rivers and other things;

"The cage of difficulty can't bind the wings of thought, as long as you want to fly!" Yuan Chonghui carefully and slowly experimented. Visualize the word mountain, the eyes are full of hills, the hills are verdant, quiet and peaceful, and the image of the water character is overflowing, the stream is murmuring, cheerful and leisurely......

Yuan Chonghui immersed himself in the world of happiness and images brought by the visualization of words, lingering, and whenever he contemplated, the positive characters in the depths of his heart shook their bodies, as if they were enjoying themselves.

Although this method is a bit clumsy and naïve, and far from the requirements of harnessing the power of words with thoughts, he has at least glimpsed a little bit of the doorway, and has a greater sense of the charm and connotation of words than before.

He believes that with the progress of his recitation, his thinking power will gradually become stronger, and one day, he will build a bridge between the recitation and the calligraphy, and write spiritual characters like Master Hong!

There are difficult things in the world, and I am afraid of people with hearts!
