Chapter 114 Writing with a pen

"All right, take the oath to heart, and then, come with me. Zhong Dushan said.

The three of them followed Zhong Dushan and walked out of this room.

"Father, are we going to copy the scriptures now?" Zhong Shen asked.

"Yes and no. Zhong Dushan replied mysteriously.

"Master Zhong, what do you mean by that?" Zhong Dushan also asked puzzled.

"It is true to copy the scriptures, but what do you need to copy them?"

"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone. Zhong Jin replied.

Could it be that Master Zhong didn't even prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? Murong Feng couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

"I have pen and paper, but only ink, and you need to prepare it yourself. Zhong Dushan said.

"What? But we didn't have ink. Hearing this, Zhong Jin was a little anxious.

However, after saying that, he realized that this might be the so-called lotus test again.

"Jin'er, don't worry, no ink, doesn't mean you can't make it. Zhong Dushan said.

"But how do you make it?" Zhong Shen asked.

"Come with me. After Zhong Dushan finished speaking, he led them to another room.

The three of them did not speak, but obediently followed him.

It didn't take long for them to walk into another house.

This house is much larger than the previous one, and it is also very bright, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that let in all the sunlight.

Moreover, this house is more like a house, with tables and chairs, bookshelves, and a place to copy scriptures.

The three of them walked in with Zhong Dushan.

Before, Zhong Dushan told them that it would take ten days to complete the copying of the scriptures, so the three of them thought that this house was a sea of books, with countless scriptures.

However, when they walked in, all three were dumbfounded.

There were bookshelves in the room, but there were only three books on top of the huge shelves.

And these three books don't seem to be thick.

Zhong Jin stepped forward and opened the three books, but he was very surprised.

These three books are exactly the same.

"Father, why are these scriptures the same?" Zhong asked puzzled.

"Because the three of you copied it, the scriptures were all the same, one for each person. Zhong Dushan replied.

"So, everyone just copied a copy?" Zhong Jin exclaimed incredulously.

"What's wrong? too little?" Zhong Dushan looked at Zhong Jin's unsteadyness, so he was a little unhappy.

Zhong Jin realized his situation, and then said, "Father, I didn't mean that. ”

At this time, Zhong Shen also saw what Zhong Jin meant, so he hurriedly helped his brother to relieve the siege.

"Father," Zhong Shen said, "what the eldest brother means, if everyone only copies one copy, how can it take ten days?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try it. Zhong Dushan did not explain Zhong Shen's question, but said simply.

The three of them couldn't ask anything when they looked at themselves, so they all shut up.

"Alright, now you guys are going to prepare the ink. After saying that, Zhong Dushan walked to the back room of the room.

After a while, Zhong Dushan came out with an extra package in his hand.

The three of them asked curiously, "What is this?"

Just when everyone thought it was ink, Zhong Dushan opened the package, and inside was a lotus heart.

Due to the long period of time, this lotus heart is a little dry.

"Father, aren't we going to prepare ink, how do you talk about taking out the lotus heart?" Zhong Shen asked.

"Master Zhong, could it be that the ink you are talking about is this lotus heart. Murong Feng said.

Zhong Dushan nodded appreciatively.

"However, this lotus heart has dried up, how can it be written?" Zhong Jin still didn't believe it.

"Although the lotus heart is dry at this moment, in order to write, you need to let it melt. ”

"Melt? Is it burned with fire?"

Zhong Dushan shook his head.

"And that blister?"

After listening to Zhong Jin's words, Zhong Dushan said: "You need to take a soak, but you can't just use water. ”

"And what else is needed?"

"Now the lotus heart is dead, if you want to write, you need to make it come alive. Zhong Dushan said, and then took out a dagger from the package.

"Therefore, each of you needs to put a drop of your own blood into the water, and only a lotus flower soaked in such a liquid can come to life. After speaking, Zhong Dushan brought a container, then put the lotus heart in it, and then put a glass of water into it.

"Alright, let's get started. Zhong Dushan said when he finished all this.

Zhong Jin first took the dagger, cut his index finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and then dripped it into the container.

Zhong Shen did the same.

Murong Feng didn't hesitate at all, and after a while of coldness, the blood on his index finger dripped into the container.

Three drops of blood quickly dissolved in everything.

Then, the lotus flower, which had been dry just a moment ago, suddenly changed color, and became more or less alive instead of withering like that.

"It worked. Zhong Jin cheered happily.

"This is just the beginning, and when the lotus heart melts, the ink will be good. Zhong Dushan said.

So, everyone looked intently at the lotus heart in the container.

At the beginning, the lotus heart regained its vitality and turned in the clear water.

After three turns, the lotus heart stood still, and then, little by little, it began to sink until all the water had overflowed the lotus heart.

Tightly, the clear water began to change color.

And the lotus heart is shrinking little by little.

At the same time, everyone noticed that the room began to fill the room with a burst of fragrance.

The fragrance of lotus flowers.

It may be because of the blood of the three people that the lotus heart was resurrected, and the lotus heart also began to have life, and naturally it also had a fragrance.

And such a fragrance, in addition to the lotus flower, there is also a person.

This person is none other than Wan'er.

So, in the hearts of Zhong Jin and Murong Feng, Wan'er appeared at the same time.

At this time, Zhong Shen also realized that this aroma was very familiar, but he couldn't think of it, and suddenly, he remembered, didn't his sister-in-law have such a fragrance?

So, without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said, "Isn't this kind of fragrance the fragrance of my sister-in-law?"

However, in the next second, he realized that he had no words to hide.

Wan'er is everyone's taboo, and she is amazing to mention in front of everyone, especially in front of Zhong Jin and Murong Feng.

Zhong Jin's face changed suddenly.

Zhong Shen wanted to take back what he had just said, but he knew that the wood was already in the boat.

So, he had no choice but to look at Zhong Dushan.

And Zhong Dushan was also a little worried, he looked at Zhong Jin.

Murong Feng's heart was naturally touched a lot. He naturally knew that such a fragrance was Wan'er's, but he didn't expect Zhong Shen to say it bluntly.

Murong Feng's face was also a little strange, but he knew that now everyone knew that his memory had been erased by Wan'er, so he had to not let everyone see that his memory had been restored, nor could he let everyone know that he was a little touched by what he said just now.

So, in order to act, he hurriedly adjusted his mood and asked, "Zhong Shen, is it? Your sister-in-law also has such a fragrance, and it is also true that for so many years, I have not had the opportunity to meet Zhong Jin's wife, and when I have the opportunity, I must visit." ”

Murong Feng's performance was very similar, and everyone thought that this was his polite remark, and they all thought that the sister-in-law that Zhong Shen was talking about just now, Murong Feng really didn't have the slightest impression.

At this time, Zhong Jin also put away his unhappy appearance, and said politely: "Okay, if you have a chance, let you get to know each other." ”

Then, everyone fell silent, as if nothing had happened.

And the most nervous thing is Zhong Shen, after all, such a senseless misunderstanding is caused by himself.

Fortunately, everyone didn't have too many thoughts, and Zhong Shen was finally relieved.

However, Zhong Shen didn't know that Murong Feng at this moment was mixed because of what he said just now.

"Okay, okay, you see. In order to divert everyone's attention, Zhong Dushan pointed to the container and said.

So, everyone looked into the container.

The lotus heart that still existed just now was suddenly gone.

"The lotus heart melted. Zhong Shen said.

"yes, you can get started. After Zhong Dushan finished speaking, he found a pen and paper.

Then one of the three scriptures was handed out.

"Copying the scriptures is very simple, and the scriptures are not thick, so you can be serious. ”

The three men took up the scriptures.

The scriptures are really thin, but why does it take ten days to copy such a thin book?

Not daring to ask more, the three of them began.

At this time, Zhong Dushan said, "Wait a minute, do you remember how I warned you at the beginning?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and remembered the rumors when they entered the first door.

"Remember," Zhong Jin said, "at that time, you told us that we must concentrate on it, just like listening to the rumors of the time, without any distractions in our hearts, and concentrate on it, so that we can copy the scriptures." ”

"Okay, since you all remember, let's get started. After Zhong Dushan finished speaking, he looked at them.

So, all three of them picked up pen and paper and opened the scriptures.

Before that, Zhong Dushan had divided the ink capital into three equal parts, and each person sent one copy.

Zhong Jin picked up the pen, dipped it in a little ink, then looked at the first self on the scripture and began to write on the paper.

However, after a stroke, there was not a trace on the paper.

What's going on?

Zhong Jin thought that his ink was not dipped enough, so he dipped a little ink.

However, the result was the same.

On the white paper, it is still as white.

Zhong Jin was very puzzled.

However, he loves face, and he doesn't dare to ask others, let alone his father, because he knows that as the eldest son, his father has given him a lot of hope.

At this time, he remembered his father's teachings.

When copying scriptures, you must be calm and calm, and there should be no distraction.

So, he breathed a sigh of relief and told himself not to think about anything.

However, after I put pen to paper, it was still blank.

He knew that he was not distracted, because, when he had just told himself to concentrate, it was precisely because he was constantly strengthening this consciousness that he was doing the opposite.

His mind was full of Murong Feng who suddenly appeared, and Wan'er who left him.

No, don't think about them. Zhong Jin admonished himself.

However, the more this is the case, the clearer the image of the two people becomes.

And after trying this a few times, the paper is still blank.

At this time, he secretly raised his head.

And the paper in front of Zhong Jin was also blank.
