Shenhao with a learning panel

The group chatted for a while.

No one said anything about asking for words.

If you only knew that Li Shi's calligraphy was good, you might say that Teacher Li helped write the calligraphy, but now that you know that Li Shi's calligraphy is so valuable, it's hard to ask.

They, including Wang Jianmu, are all very clear-minded and shameless people in this regard.

Most of the senior brothers are not very elegant and rough people. Except for Gao Shicang, the rest are not interested in calligraphy itself.

Senior Brother Gao is an educated Taoist priest who knows a little bit about calligraphy, so after seeing the screenshots posted by Wang Jianmu, he had the most praise.

After Li Shi said a few words of humility, he specifically asked Wang Jianmu: "Senior Brother Wang, why did you pay attention to this auction?"

Wang Jianmu replied: "I have been a child since I was a child. He particularly likes traditional culture and has been collecting paintings, calligraphy and porcelain for many years. I saw it at his place."

……

Smoke city.

Wang Jianmu had just finished chatting in the group, and before he put down his phone, a call popped up on the screen. It was his friend Qin Zhaowen who especially liked collecting paintings, calligraphy, and porcelain.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as he connected, a loud voice came from the other party: "It's okay, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong with your expression when you left me. I'll call you and ask you."

This.

The two of them grew up together and were so familiar with each other that it was normal for Qin Zhaowen to notice something was wrong.

Wang Jianmu was about to say that he knew the "Li Shi" in the auction information, but he swallowed his words again and said instead: "Wait a moment, I have something else to do, I will call you later."

After saying that, he hung up the phone first, and immediately asked Li Shi in the group: "Brother, can I tell my friend about you?"

Li Shizheng and Wang Yuan were eating mutton boiled in a copper pot. After seeing the message, they replied: "Sure, Senior Brother Wang."

He was typing with one hand and holding chopsticks with the other hand to pick up the meat - Wang Yuan ate too fast. The meat had just been cooked in the pot. If he didn't pick it up faster, it would be gone in the blink of an eye.

But Li Shiting likes to have dinner with him. Seeing the food he eats, he also enjoys it.

He himself has a large appetite, but his food is relatively elegant, while Wang Yuan is a typical "big eater". Seeing how delicious he eats, he can't help but smile and say: "Your appetite and eating style are not good." It’s such a shame to be a food blogger.”

Wang Yuan immediately showed off and said: "Brother Shi, don't say it, I have really thought about this. I might resign in the future and become a store tour anchor."

He finally put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat, and said in a pretentious manner: "A two-hundred-yuan restaurant opens a blind box, and I eat whatever the boss serves... How about it, brother, am I okay with my style?"

Li Shi smiled and said, "Two hundred yuan is definitely too little for your appetite, and you can't plagiarize other people's opening remarks so blatantly. You have to change it to five hundred yuan anyway."

……

It was already dark after eating, so Wang Yuan drove Li Shi to Zijinyuan Community. Before leaving, he said, "Brother Shi, can I see you off tomorrow morning?"

Li Shi waved his hand: "No, it's too early. I can just call a taxi online."

He bought a high-speed rail ticket that departs from Beijing South Station at 9:20 and arrives at Qinhuang City at 11:15 in the morning. To go here, you have to reserve an hour, which means that it must leave at 8 o'clock at the latest. .

Sleeping alone in an empty house in Beijing is a bit lonely.

He read until eleven o'clock, practiced calligraphy for ten minutes, turned on the TV, selected an old TV series to play, and then cleared an area in the living room and prepared to stand.

Stand quietly for a while, adjust your mood and breathing.

Then he hugged each other, pushed his head upward, stepped forward with his left leg, and slowly separated his hands. His left hand pushed forward and his right hand pulled back. The two hands seemed to be tearing invisible cotton, pulling the silk, as if they were apart.

The palm of the left hand is forward, no higher than the mouth, and it is pushed forward to the extreme. The arm seems straight but not straight, bent but not bent, as if pressing the palm into the void.

Pull the right hand to the lower abdomen in front of the navel, forming a hug with the left hand.

The legs are slightly bent, which also has the opposite meaning of hugging but not hugging.

The whole person forms a "whole" state that seems to be advancing while retreating, attacking and defending, still and moving.

What Li Shi is standing on is called the Sancai Zhuang, also known as the Three Body Zhuang. The "whole" is very important here. If this kind of Zhuang Gong is done in place, an ordinary person will suffer from muscle soreness and body numbness due to poor Qi and blood after standing for three to five minutes. Even Lin Zongyue and Gao Shicang, who practice martial arts all year round, cannot stand for long.

Those who say on the Internet that they can stand for half an hour or an hour are all bragging, otherwise they are not standing in place and have not shown their true meaning as "three talents".

Now that he understands more, he understands why so many people question and look down on traditional martial arts - one of the reasons is that many people on the Internet only know a little bit about it, or even don't understand it at all, so they feel that they are very powerful and exaggerate. Pretending to be mysterious, it looks very much like "people's science". In addition, there are many scammers under the guise of Chuanwu.

Real practitioners like Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Gao are very scientific and philosophical.

When Li Shi and Gao Shicang discussed qigong, senior brother Gao said that in his understanding, qigong uses the power of psychological suggestion to stimulate the body's qi and blood to nourish specific parts. It belongs to psychological hypnosis in psychology and blood transportation in medicine. combine.

This statement has a great inspiration for Li Shi's sword practice and strength training later.

Including the stance at this time, Li Shi also applied this point of view, using breathing and thoughts (psychological suggestions) to drive the dark energy and stimulate the blood flow in the body.

in the room.

Gradually, his breathing became longer and longer, almost to the point of being inaudible.

The room fell into a special kind of silence. Only the sound of the 1987 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" came from the TV, as if it was an empty room with the TV on.

……

The next day, Li Shi woke up naturally at five o'clock in the morning.

I practiced calligraphy for half an hour.

The first thing he wrote was "Xia Ke Xing". For him, who has the blessing of a learning panel and a permanent certificate, writing this poem was no different from practicing swordsmanship.

Later I wrote the Tao Te Ching for a while.

Since he decided to use "Viewing the Sea" as the basis for his sketch this time, he deliberately did not recite the entire poem, which he was already familiar with, nor did he write it with ink.

He wants to maintain a feeling that is both familiar and unfamiliar, so as to maintain a sense of freshness as much as possible.

Novelty is an important factor in generating passion.

After finishing morning classes, I picked up my luggage, called an online taxi, and went straight to Beijing South Railway Station.

Taking the high-speed train from Beijing to Qinhuang City takes more than two hours, and even takes less than two hours at the fastest. Li Shi's G8927 trip only took one hour and fifty-five minutes. He bought a business seat that cost more than yuan a seat. He lay down comfortably and found a novel on the app about time traveling as Cao Cao and read dozens of chapters. It felt like he had arrived at the station not long after.

I took a taxi at the station and read a novel. An hour later I arrived at the Aranya Gold Coast Community in Changli County.

This trip was a combination of doing business and traveling.

Aranya Gold Coast Community is a coastal tourist resort complex located in the middle district of Gold Coast, Changli County, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. Not only is it close to the community, it is convenient for people to enjoy the sea view, but it is also only 25 kilometers away from the target Jieshi Mountain Scenic Area.

Li Shi booked a king-size bed room with a view at the Lan'an Hotel here.

After checking in and having something to eat at the hotel, I immediately asked the front desk to help me find a car to go to Jieshi Mountain.

When I was in Aranya, I felt that there were a lot of tourists here, but when I arrived at the Jieshi Mountain Scenic Area, there were almost no people.

The driver who came with him didn't want to climb the mountain, so Li Shi asked him to wait at the bottom of the mountain. He spent 20 yuan to buy the ticket and entered the scenic spot.

Going uphill, the scenery is pretty good, but there are really not many people coming. Many of the built stone staircase roads have been blocked by shrubs and weeds, giving people a sense of desolation.

Jieshi Jieshi, the mountain is as its name suggests. On the way, Li Shi encountered many huge cliffs, some of which were just on the roadside. When people faced the stone walls, they felt very oppressive and shocked.

If you just come here to climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery, this place is actually pretty good.

But Li Shi came here to "see the sea".

When he reached halfway up the mountain and had a wider view, he sighed.

Not meeting anyone along the way, Li Shi accelerated to the top and looked far into the distance. He could see the sparkling waters of Jieyang Lake at the foot of the mountain, but looking around, he could only see a little shadow of the sea in the distance.

"It seems we have to find another place."

Li Shi was a little disappointed and sighed, but then he became happy again - since this place is not suitable, forget it, change his mood, and treat it as just for fun.

As his mentality changed, the surrounding scenery also became brighter.

He leisurely found a stone and sat down, basking in the not-too-strong sun and enjoying the breeze.

No longer thinking about anything else, he simply lay on his side with his pillow on the stone, looking at the houses at the foot of the mountain and Jieyang Lake in the distance, looking at the clouds in the sky, looking at the confusion at the connection between the sky and the earth, and unconsciously... , fell asleep.

No dreams.

I don’t know how long I slept.

When Li Shi suddenly woke up, he looked at the time and found that only twenty minutes had passed.

He stood up, stretched out, randomly picked up a branch on the ground, stretched out his hand to break the branch on it, and then used it as a sword to perform the "Xia Ke Xing" sword technique on the huge rock in front of him.

Tossing and turning, he is elegant and free, with his sword in full swing.

Regardless of the fact that there is no second person here, only the white clouds in the sky and the trees and weeds beside the stone can be seen.

After completing the twenty-four moves, Li Shi casually threw the branch onto the cliff outside the boulder, clapped his hands in ashes, no longer lingered, and turned around to go down the mountain.

When we got to the bottom of the mountain, we walked around the temple we had seen before, then called the driver. At around five o'clock in the evening, we returned to Ananya's hotel.

The hotel rooms are quite elegantly decorated, with gauze separating the living room and bedroom. When sitting in the living room, you can see the faintly large bed inside through the gauze curtain.

The first time he saw this design, Li Shi smiled. It was a pity that he came alone this time, otherwise this layout would be very sentimental.

Li Shi wasn't hungry either. After putting his bag in the room, he went out for a walk around the town. Finally, he came to the beach and saw the sea up close - a sea that seemed "gentle" on the surface.

On the beach, there are many Internet celebrity check-in designs. There are many more people playing and taking pictures than before. Occasionally, people pass by and judging from the accents of their chats, most of these tourists should be from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Li Shi had previously known that there was an Internet celebrity attraction on the beach here, which was known as the loneliest library in the world. He originally wanted to go in and have a look, but unfortunately he came a little late. When he arrived, although the lights were on, it had already closed for get off work. .

But to his surprise, when he looked up, he saw the bright moon hanging in the sky, which instantly made him feel that all the scenery around him became more alive.

The moonlight is bright and the waves are rolling.

A person's walk becomes more intense when he sees another person standing alone in front of the sea.

It was a woman. She was wearing a long skirt and stood facing the sea with her hands behind her back. She remained motionless for a long time, staring in the direction of the sea.

Li Shi didn't go over to disturb others, so he stood far away, looking at her and the sea. After sixteen or seventeen minutes, he saw that the other party took out his mobile phone to take pictures, and then he turned and left.

This silent waiting, no matter whether it is necessary or not, does not need to be known.

On the way back to the hotel, Li Shi thought that someone like Cao Cao might not be able to do what he just did, so Cao Cao is Cao Cao and I am me.

"However, I still have to learn from Cao Cao's poem "Viewing the Sea", which contains the heroic sentiments of having the world in mind."

"This kind of pride must be grounded in reality and cannot float."

"Then why does Cao Cao have such a desire to swallow the universe?"

Back at the hotel, Li Shi took out his notebook from his backpack, opened a page, and organized his thoughts: "A person's confidence certainly comes from his experience and strength."

He thought that before he wrote this poem, Cao Cao had led troops, killed people, served as a local official, suppressed the Yellow Turban Army, and done various major things including holding the emperor hostage and ordering the princes.

And when he wrote this poem, he had money, power, and soldiers!

Therefore, the pride in his heart is well-founded!

what about me?

If I wanted to play Cao Cao, what would I lack?

Li Shi pondered for a while, then got up, walked a few steps back and forth in the living room, and then came to the window and looked outside. Although he couldn't see the sea, he could faintly see the beach, and occasionally there were pedestrians in the distance. Take a walk under the lights.

"A person like Cao Cao must have that kind of ruthlessness in his bones."

"I have strength and huge support, but after all, I have never led an army or killed anyone. If I want to take the first two steps and play the role of Cao Cao to create "Guancanghai Sword Art", then the most lacking thing is , it is the ruthlessness of a hero like Cao Cao!"

How do we do this?

He returned to the sofa chair, picked up his notebook and wrote: Seeing blood, killing? Or something else?

At this moment, there was a huge noise in the corridor outside the door.

Li Shi's train of thought was interrupted and he frowned subconsciously.

However, he would not be able to figure out the next idea for a while anyway, so he simply closed the book and planned to watch the door to see the excitement.

As soon as the door was opened a crack, a jabbering language penetrated into the ears. The speaker seemed to be frightened.

It's not Mandarin, it's the Korean language. (End of chapter)
