Chapter 271: The finishing touch
Confucianism re-cultivates the mind, distinguishes between right and wrong, and what is needed is to be broad in the past and the present, widely learn from the strengths of others, be impartial, and most taboo to be limited by the words of a certain family and a surname, and the heart is prejudiced.
Therefore, Pei Ju was not surprised that Pei Tuo, a master of Confucianism at the grandmaster level, would leave instructions to his disciples before the age of twenty to listen to the [Spring and Autumn Simple] mental method, and not read it throughout, but felt that this practice was a symbol of Pei Tuo's deep understanding of Confucianism.
If the disciples of later generations begin to practice this kind of [Spring and Autumn Simple] in a step-by-step manner since childhood, after the concept is deeply rooted, nine out of ten people will be trapped in the barrier of this mental method for the rest of their lives.
Under the blindness, it is difficult to peek to a higher realm!
On the contrary, before the age of twenty, when they only listened to the words of the mind, most of them could not remember all of them, and could only remember the most impressive fragments and sentences, which were often the most suitable part for themselves.
Then use this as a reference, check and fill in the gaps when reading through many Confucian classics, and use your own perception to make up the missing parts of the mental method, and reintegrate it into a roughly complete mental method, and most of it will be quite different from the original version of [Spring and Autumn Simple].
This is forcing the juniors to come out early!
After the age of twenty, the juniors have their own unique or shallow semi-self-created mental methods, and then read through the full text of the grandmaster-level [Spring and Autumn Simple] mental method.
Comparing the two, the juniors can clearly see the gap between themselves and Pei Tuo, as well as their own advantages and disadvantages, and can vaguely understand how they should go in the future......
Pei Ju had to admit in his heart that this was a very clever education method, and the advantage was that Pei Tuo's own highest achievement would not become the end and shackle of the younger generations.
But the shortcomings are also obvious - it can really come out of the machine. After all, there are still very few juniors who have created a clever mental method. Most of the juniors can only create a shallow mind. As a result, the martial arts are mediocre.
And after the age of twenty, although they can read through the whole article of [Spring and Autumn Simple], but they have missed the best teenage period to shape their minds, and under the prejudice of their hearts, the fit with the [Spring and Autumn Simple] mental method is greatly reduced, and even if they switch to this mental method, their achievements will not be high!
Pei Ju secretly speculated that it was for this reason that the eldest uncle Pei Rangzhi became the tail of the crane among the first-class masters.
Dong Ze Lake in early spring. As Pei Ju expected, there was no one, only a clear wave and clear water, and geese and ducks frolicking.
However, as soon as he crossed the Immortal Bridge, Pei Ju's spiritual sense sensed a faint peeping gaze, and lingered on the three of them for a while.
But in addition to him pretending not to know, Pei Rangzhi and Pei Suzhi really didn't know it!
Pei Ju knew that the person who was secretly peeping was likely to be his future master, the head of the Huajian faction this time, as for martial arts...... At least the best of the world's best masters. As for whether or not to enter the Grandmaster level, we have to meet to find out.
Walk around a few empty restaurants. Pei Ju followed Pei Rangzhi and Pei Suzhi straight towards an octagonal pavilion by Dong Ze Lake, and that was also where the secret peeping person he sensed before was.
From a distance, Pei Ju saw a light blue figure moving in the pavilion, but what attracted his attention the most was the eight thick red lacquer pillars supporting the top of the pavilion, and I don't know when there were many phosphorescent golden lines!
At a glance, the golden scales are hazy, convex and concave, although I have not seen the whole picture of the things painted on the red pillar, but I have faintly felt the majestic and majestic air rushing to my face.
Pei Ju was secretly surprised, in the way of painting, although he is not a master, but he is not a layman, he naturally understands that the person who paints on the red pillar should be the top painter in this world, and can be called the master of painting.
However, when he came to play in the autumn of last year, he never saw anything painted on the red pillar, so ......
As soon as they approached the pavilion, Pei Rangzhi and Pei Suzhi took the lead in greetings: "Brother monk, are you okay?"
Pei Ju's heart was shocked, and he vaguely guessed the identity of the person in the pavilion, but his face showed just the right childlike curiosity, and his big eyes turned out of Pei Rangzhi's back and looked at the person in the pavilion.
The subtle spiritual sense told Pei Ju that although the people in the pavilion did not look directly at him at this time, they had been lingering on him with a trace of vague spiritual thoughts, as if they were paying attention to any subtle reactions from him.
In this situation, he must not show his flaws, just show his true colors as a child.
I saw that the man was dressed in a light blue Confucian suit, tall and well-proportioned, and his temperament was chic and free, and he was holding a large paintbrush at this time, swaying endlessly on the red lacquer pillar, and responded easily: "TOEFL TOEFL ...... I can drink a few more glasses of the cellar every day!"
Pei Rangzhi and Pei Suzhi didn't care about his debauchery, but stopped when they approached the outside of Zhang Xu, not only did not hinder the man from painting, but also could carefully appreciate the paintings on the red lacquer pillar, and quipped: "With the great deeds of Brother Monk and Brother Zhenting, this place will be overcrowded in the future!"
The man said casually and politely: "Vulgar work, it's good not to be laughed at by the Fang family......" His subordinates still didn't stop, and with a few strokes, a huge dragon head jumped into the column.
Looking at it up close, Pei Ju felt that this person's essence of painting Taoism is enough to crown the world, and he is a generation of painting masters who will carry forward the past and open up the future.
The golden dragon on the red lacquer giant pillar is vigorous and vigorous, lifelike, and the artistic conception is still secondary, but its brushwork effect is extremely convex and concave, three-dimensional...... That is, the chiaroscuro method and the perspective method.
"This is very different from the contemporary painting style! No, to be precise, this is the ultimate skill of ingenuity beyond the times......" Pei Ju's eyes were dripping and turning, showing the liveliness of the elves, as if he couldn't understand the subtleties of the paintings, but in fact, he was analyzing this person's painting techniques in his heart, "As far as I know, among the many famous families of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there is only one person who has this exquisite skill, and it is named 'Zhang Seng Xuan'!"
If Zhang Seng is his name, there are not many people who know his life in later generations, but if the idiom of 'finishing touch', it can be said that everyone who has gone to school and read books knows it, and the legend of 'finishing touch, breaking the wall and flying away' is actually the words of the people of the time who praised Zhang Seng for painting the dragon!
Of course, Pei Ju has also vaguely heard that the method of convex and concave dizziness was originally a religious painting technique from Tianzhu, which is actually the brushwork of painting Buddha statues and Bodhisattva statues.
"So...... The relationship between the flower school and Buddhism. At least a generation has to go back a generation?" Pei Ju muttered quietly in his heart. Or rather. The study of the religious culture of Buddhism is not the independent behavior of one or two generations, but has a glorious tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation!
It is no wonder that the entire Demon Gate has been fighting with the Daomen and the Buddha Gate for hundreds of years, but only the Huajian School has opened its mind and truly absorbed the essence of the opponent's civilization, so as to 'master the long skills of the master to control the enemy'......
Tsk, an artist has a brain, a state of mind and a strategy and tactics. It's more than a cut above the other rotten boys in the Demon Gate who can only fight and kill!"
Zhang Seng carried the pen like flying, and finished painting the last golden dragon in a moment, put the large paintbrush holder on the ground at the mouth of the barrel, and then hurriedly arched his hand to Pei Rangzhi and Pei Suzhi, and said modestly: "Rude and rude......"
Pei Ju glanced at the wooden barrel curiously, only to see that it was full of golden paint, but there was no pungent smell of paint, but with a faint fragrance of plants and trees, thinking that it was made with the exclusive secret recipe of the Flower School.
Pei Rangzhi and Pei Suzhi looked at each other and smiled, Pei Suzhi waved his hand and said, "Brother Monk has seen the outside...... My brother didn't meet the monk on the first day. Don't you know that once the monk brother starts painting, there must be a beginning and an end. The old habit of not being shocked when the sky falls, and the thunder will not move?"
Zhang Seng turned his head to look at Pei Ju with a smile, his eyes were shining, and he looked carefully, as if he wanted to see through his internal organs.
Pei Ju didn't realize it, but his big black eyes looked back at him, and he also looked up and down, only then did he notice that on Zhang Sengqiu's extremely handsome face, crow's feet appeared faintly in the corners of his eyes, and his sideburns also showed a little white.
According to the vitality of the Huajian School Qigong, the longevity of youth, and the effect of delaying aging, Zhang Seng Miao is at least sixty years old!
For a while, seeing that in the 'eye competition' between Zhang Sengqian and Pei Ju, Zhang Sengqian inexplicably 'fell behind', Pei Rangzhi wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Sengqian raising his hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "What a trick to 'avoid the real and hit the false'!"
It turned out that Zhang Seng Miao had been pouring his qi gong into his eyes, and wanted Pei Ju to look at him involuntarily, and test Pei Ju through eye induction.
Unknowingly, Pei Ju's eyes were rolling around, but he focused his gaze on other parts of Zhang Sengqiu's body, and walked back and forth, just not looking at Zhang Sengqiu, so that he had nothing to do.
Zhang Seng Miao said to Pei Rangzhi: "Ling's nephew has excellent qualifications and is extremely intelligent, why don't Brother Pei teach him personally, so that he can inherit the ancestral business in the future and magnify Pei Men?"
Pei Rangzhi said bitterly: "Our talent is limited, so I'm afraid that I will delay Ju'er's superior qualifications in vain...... Moreover, the current situation of our gate in Northern Qi is ......"
Zhang Seng bowed his head slightly, obviously knowing that the Pei brothers' situation was not good, and suddenly pointed to the golden dragon on the red lacquer pillar, and said to Pei Ju: "Good boy...... How do you see my dragon drawn, it doesn't seem to look like it?"
According to the quality of the children of the family, at this time, what should be said such as 'lifelike', 'vivid', 'majestic', 'galloping and pretentious', which not only makes the future master happy, but also shows the good upbringing of the scholarly family.
But Pei Ju's eyes widened, and he looked at the golden dragon on the red lacquer pillar with great difficulty, and said, "Is this a dragon?...... I've never seen a real dragon, so how do I know if it looks like it?"
At first glance, Zhang Seng was stunned, Pei Rangzhi and Pei Suzhi couldn't cry or laugh, and Pei Suzhi was still busy giving Pei Ju a look.
Pei Ju turned a blind eye to it, and asked Zhang Seng Xuan, "Has Mr. seen the real dragon?"
Zhang Seng shook his head with a wry smile.
Pei Ju was puzzled: "Since Mr. has never seen a dragon, why does he draw dragons?
Zhang Seng opened his mouth to speak, but stopped again, only to smile bitterly again.
Pei Rangzhi scolded: "Ju'er, don't be rude......"
Zhang Seng Miao raised his hand to stop and sighed: "I'm ashamed...... Zhang has painted countless dragons in his life, and he has heard countless beautiful words, and he was originally complacent, thinking that he was in the art of painting dragons, and no one in the world can be out of my right!
I never thought about it, but in fact, Zhang himself didn't know if he was drawing a dragon!"
After a pause, Zhang Seng said calmly: "Zhang originally wanted to teach a few words in poetry and articles, but after listening to Ju'er's words, I realized that his nature is eclectic, unconventional, and seemingly unruly, but in fact, it is deeply in line with the essence of our school's inheritance......
Cheng can be described as a peerless disciple who Zhang wants to get and then fast!"
The Pei brothers' faces were overjoyed, but they heard Zhang Seng Miao say again: "But...... My Holy Gate accepts disciples, but there is a rule of 'cutting vulgar fate', and Zhang does not dare to violate it!"
The Pei brothers' hearts rose again, and after looking at each other, Pei Rangzhi was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Sengqiu: "I have a relationship with our faction in Peimen, and Brother Pei Tuo also has a great life-saving grace to me, Zhang can turn around a little......"
Looking at the two uncles looking at Zhang Seng Xuan, with a look of deafness, Pei Ju secretly disdainful: Tsk...... A few words are led by the nose, this mental quality is not good, and the negotiation skills are not good, no wonder politics is not good!
Zhang Seng took a moment to say: "Ju'er's biological parents are deceased, but your five uncles are still alive, which is really not in line with the example of 'cutting vulgar fate'......
In this way, Zhang entered the nature stone in front of the door wall of the flower faction, and only after entering the door did he follow the master's surname Zhang, and now the surname has been changed to Shi, which is my stepson, and the son inherits his father's business, so it is not against the door rules!
Well, the best name has also been changed...... Let's call it 'Stone Xuan'!"
Listening to Zhang Sengqian talking to himself, even if the Pei brothers reacted slowly, they knew that this was Zhang Sengqiu's premeditated plan - if he didn't like Ju'er, he would refuse directly, and if he could see it, he would directly rob people, let Ju'er change his surname, not Pei, and cut off relations with the Pei family!
The people in the Demon Gate are really unprofitable and can't afford to be early!(To be continued.) )
