Dao Fruit

The five words were not long. After writing them in one breath, Qiu Yan threw away the branch.

Qi Jiulian stepped forward quickly, regardless of his image, he squatted down and stared at the word "mountain and river". He felt a natural breath from it, because the branches were drawn on the soil, which was slightly blurry and a little crazy. The wild and unruly artistic conception is looming.

Seeing his action, Zhen Zhizuo's attention also moved to these two words, and his expression changed again.

"These two words really have the flavor of explaining mountains and rivers. Although they are just superficial, the thick mountains and flowing water give me the feeling that mountains and rivers are introducing themselves. With the vitality, it seems that they have captured a little of the charm of mountains and rivers... "

Zhen Zhizuo thought and glanced at Qiu Yan again. He came here for inspection this time. He first asked about Qiu Yan's name, and then through his family connections, he got two poems that Qiu Yan copied in Wuxin City, and he also understood calligraphy. Achievements.

However, Qiu Yan could not see the few characters that showed the bones and blood of the characters. Those few calligraphy were collected by the Zhang family, the magistrate and the Sun family, and they were easily refused to be shown to others.

During the Wu Xin Literary Meeting, Qiu Yan's handwriting for recording other people's poems had charm, but in Zhen Zhizuo's eyes, he would not think highly of Qiu Yan because of it. When Lizong chose people, he first looked at virtue, and then at talent and learning, and his calligraphy skills were not included. in.

Qiu Yan's virtues can be seen from his treatment of Liu Huai's family. As for his talents and learning, he worked together to unify the Yuan Dynasty, and made military plans to level the border. He was called "the wise man of the country" by the emperor. All these things have made Zhen Zhizuo Acknowledged Qiu Yan.

As for the art of calligraphy, in his opinion, it was just the icing on the cake.

However, this idea changed after seeing the five words written on branches in front of me.

"Mr. Taixu believes that everything in the world is composed of Taixu Qi, even the human body is no exception. Therefore, to study all things carefully, we must start from the outside in, from heaven to man, and hope to understand the Taixu Qi. And then Although this Qi Jiulian does not show much knowledge in elucidating the principles of human nature, the foundation of its calligraphy lies in this. It explains the mountains and rivers, and then becomes transcendent and enlightened! "

After thinking about it, Zhen Zhizuo's thoughts gradually changed.

"And there is something vaguely aura in Qiu Yan's words! According to him, he had some insights after reading Qi Jiulian's words. He could understand something from just a few words, and then expressed it with pen , It can be seen that the understanding is not low. If you fall into the trap of Taixu because of this, it will be bad. How can such a person be snatched away by his school? "

As soon as he thought about this, Zhen Zhizuo felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

other side. Qiu Yan was exchanging ideas with Qi Jiulian.

Although this young calligrapher was arrogant, he had mixed emotions when facing Qiu Yan. I feel both unwillingness and admiration.

At this moment, Qi Jiulian actually felt a sense of affirmation when he heard Qiu Yan talk about his feelings about the mountains and rivers. Even that trace of madness was restrained subconsciously.

Seeing this scene in Zhen Zhizuo's eyes, he clearly felt respectful and flattered.

"It's not simple! This Qiu Yan is not simple!"

Thinking like this, he thought about it, and was about to step forward to talk to Qiu Yan, but was interrupted by a shout from a distance——

"Cousin——"

Qiu Yan heard the familiar voice, looked around, and saw Liu Yue running hurriedly, shouting from a distance.

"Cousin, what's the matter?" Seeing this, Qiu Yan turned around and responded.

When Liu Yue arrived, he bent down and took a few quick breaths to calm down. Then he said out of breath: "My father asked me to come. There is a guest at home. I heard it was Zhao." The old gentleman knows that you won the imperial examination and got the gift, and the person sent here is a talented person from Quanyou Academy. My father asked me to come to you, so I can't lose my courtesy and neglect the guests. "

"Mr. Zhao?"

After listening to Liu Yue's words, Qiu Yan immediately knew who he was referring to. He should be Zhao Bingcheng, whom he had met in Wuxin City.

"Mr. Zhao asked someone to come over and give you a congratulatory gift? How can the elders be alarmed by the fact that he won the imperial examination?" Qiu Yan shook his head and said this, but he knew the reason behind it.

Mr. Zhao originally valued him because he could compete with Ma Yang, but now he is sending congratulatory gifts not because of Ma Yang, but because of Qiu Yan's plan to pacify the southwest and reach heaven to listen, and his talents, knowledge and opportunities are suddenly complete!

"The influence of military strategy is finally dissipating."

With this thought in his mind, Qiu Yan confessed to Zhen Zhizuo and Qi Jiulian, then left and followed Liu Yue.

Watching Qiu Yan's retreating back, Zhen Zhizuo began to ponder, his eyes scanning the five words on the ground, thoughtfully.

"No wonder Liu Jing did not hesitate to recommend Qiu Yan even if he owed a favor. It is indeed extraordinary. Quanyou Academy is the authentic school of Shu. Mr. Zhao should be Zhao Bingcheng. The school of Shu is now in decline. It seems that he is interested in this person. Qiu Yan said.

As soon as he finished this thought, he heard Qi Jiulian next to him pointing to five characters on the ground and saying to his servant: "Go and ask for a calligrapher to come over and make these characters into engravings."

The servant looked puzzled: "Master, if you want a copybook, just go to Mr. Qiu and ask him to write another one. Why are you carving the words on the ground? The soil is soft and difficult to write. It is no better than writing with pen and ink. It has some flaws." ”

"That's not the case," Qi Jiulian glanced at Zhen Zhizuo, and then murmured, "Qiu Yan just had some insights. He was not as good as me in describing the rivers and mountains in terms of words, but he used these five words in a clever way. If you don't use the branches as pens and the ground as paper, how can you write such a rich meaning of heaven and earth? Do as I say!"

As soon as he said this, Zhen Zhizuo's eyelids twitched, and his urgency became even more intense. He clasped his fists to say goodbye, turned around and walked away.

When Zhen Zhizuo's figure disappeared around the corner, Qi Jiulian's servant suddenly said: "Master, you shouldn't have said what you just said. If Lizong's people heard it, they would definitely think highly of Mr. Qiu, wouldn't it..."

"Uncle Lu, I know this well," Qi Jiulian laughed, "I think that Qiu Yanqi is not a person who can be restrained, and the people of Lizong all have their eyes above their heads. How can it be so?" Can you accommodate him? I guess there will be a good show in the end..."

"I hope so." The servant shook his head. From Qi Jiulian's words, he heard a hint of selfishness and sighed secretly.

………………

"Both Shu School and Taixu Academy are paying attention to Qiu Yan, and Li Qi from Na De School has heard that he has also been in contact with Qiu Yan. The situation is chaotic. Qiu Yan should be admitted to Lizong as soon as possible. In this way, no matter what his achievements are, , it won’t become a threat, but if you enter another academy, it’s hard to say.”

Zhen Zhizuo thought to himself, walking all the way without stopping, and soon saw Zhang Yu and Liu Jiang waiting halfway.

"You're here just in time," Zhen Zhizuo walked over and invited the two of them into the tavern again, "come with me."

After the three of them were seated, Zhen Zhizuo didn't go around in circles and said straight to the point: "There is something I want to entrust to you two."

"Young Master Zhen, just give me your orders!" Zhang Yu and Liu Jian were not surprised but happy after hearing this. For them, being able to help Lizong's people not only gave them face, but also honour. They could use the tiger's skin as a banner in the future.

Zhen Zhizuo nodded and continued: "I have something urgent and I have to go back to Dongdu first. I want to meet with my master, but there are still things to be done here..."

As he said that, he took out a piece of silver and put it on the table: "Since you two are familiar with Qiu Yan, you will stay with him during my absence. Take these pieces of silver and go to the city." Dongjing Study, buy books according to the list and send them to Qiu Yan." At this point, he took out a list from his arms and placed it in front of the two of them.

"This kind of thing. How can I let Mr. Zhen spend money?" Zhang Yu and Liu Jiang didn't know how to accept money. They just took the list and glanced at it. They all saw the works of Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen, and they suddenly felt at ease.

The two looked at each other and realized that Qiu Yan had a bright future.

"You keep the money and don't have any other thoughts," Zhen Zhizuo said, changing the topic, "In addition, you can also go to the study room to read books from now on, learn the principles of studying things and reason, and deepen your knowledge. Although you can't enter The lintel of the academy, but in the future, when Lizong spread throughout the world and Confucianism became orthodox, it became easier to understand and able to teach and educate people."

"This...must, definitely."

Zhang Yu and Liu Jiang studied literature and calligraphy in order to have a good background and win fame. They had no intention of teaching and educating people. However, when they heard Zhen Zhizuo's instructions, of course they would not refute, but just obeyed blindly.

Zhen Zhizuo could naturally see that the two people did not mean what they said, so he just shook his head: "The world is in chaos and the laws of nature are unclear. It is because human desires are too strong, which causes the imbalance of yin and yang. That's why we need to read more. The more we understand the laws of nature, the better we will be." If you don’t understand human desire, you will inevitably experience disasters in the future.”

After saying this, he stood up and turned around without taking any money.

………………

"Then Zhen Zhizuo should take action."

On the way home, Qiu Yan made some calculations in his mind.

"This time I took the opportunity to communicate with Qi Jiulian and showed a little bit of the so-called Taoist boxing spirit, which should arouse his thoughts. It is impossible for my avatar to take a step-by-step path, but to understand the way of humanity. This The dispute between schools is a part of it, but you must always give yourself a position..."

With this in mind, he and Liu Yue returned home.

In the main hall, Liu Huaizheng was talking to a young man with a smile on his face. When he saw Qiu Yan coming in, he quickly greeted him: "Yan'er, come here and give Brother Zhao a greeting."

Qiu Yan came over as he was told, his eyes fell on the man, and he immediately noticed a faint aura of inclusive literary thought.

"Brother Qiu, I'm Zhao Zhu, please be polite." The man also came up to greet him.

Qiu Yan said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Zhao. I wonder if Brother Zhao and Mr. Zhao..."

"It's the ancestor..."

After the two got acquainted, Zhao Zhuo mentioned that the gift he gave this time turned out to be an inkstone. Scholars were very particular about giving gifts, and Qiu Yan was familiar with this.

This Zhao Zhouji is very good at talking, and his words are like a spring breeze. He often flatters people without revealing any traces. No wonder Liu Huai just smiled and was very kind to this person.

In the middle of the conversation, he suddenly felt something in his heart. However, he did not get any insights from Zhao Zhuo's words, but realized that a statue in the Five Marshes was surrounded by people.

Through his spiritual thoughts, Qiu Yan also discovered the extraordinary traces hidden behind these people. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
