Shenhao with a learning panel

The little girl is nice, not only good-looking, but also very polite.

Li Shi glanced at the weather forecast on the phone screen, clicked on it, swiped to look at Tanzhou, then switched to WeChat and typed: "There will be light rain in Tanzhou in the next few days, and the temperature will be around 15 degrees. This In this kind of weather, we usually wear two layers of clothes here. Considering that the weather will be colder later and the air is relatively humid, I suggest you bring some thick coats."

The little girl had quite a lot of questions, one after another. After Li Shi answered three or four questions, he found it troublesome to type. Thinking that the other party could speak Chinese anyway, he simply said: "How about we chat on video call, it will be more efficient." .”

"Ok."

He replied to the conversation and quickly sent a video call request. After Li Shi connected, a young girl appeared on the screen. She had grand features, bright eyes and white teeth. She wore gold-rimmed glasses and held a pen in her hand. It looked like Like learning.

This girl is not the kind of girl with particularly delicate and perfect facial features, but she is very good-looking. Especially when he saw Li Shi, she had a shallow, polite smile on her face, which was very eye-catching and comfortable to look at.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you."

Li Shi's eyes felt comfortable and his mood became comfortable. He smiled and said, "It's okay. We just need to finish the communication quickly. If you have any questions, just ask."

In the next ten minutes, the two talked a lot.

I have to say that Zhang Qingya speaks Mandarin very well. Although she has a slight accent, she can communicate smoothly.

"Mr. Li, thank you very much. When I get to China, I will definitely thank you in person."

Li Shi smiled and said: "Let's talk about it in the future. I'm not in Tanzhou at the moment. Maybe you will have returned to China when I go back. But I wish you good luck in the competition and good results!"

He has a very good impression of this girl. In addition to her beautiful appearance, she is also good at teaching Chinese and can participate in competitions to promote Chinese. During the chat just now, he can also feel her good impression of China - in fact This is rare among foreigners, especially Koreans.

Li Shi frequently browses the Internet to post comments from foreign forum netizens on China-related topics. When it comes to hating rabbits, sticks almost rank first, even surpassing chickens in feet.

If this girl's true inner thoughts are as she revealed, then she has emerged from the mire and is untainted.

"Thank you! If you have returned to Tanzhou by then, I hope I can have a meal with you to express my gratitude."

"No problem, come on!"

After Li Shi hung up the video, he temporarily put this beautiful foreign girl aside and continued writing.

Time always passes very quickly when a person is highly focused.

November 2nd.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Li Shi sat on the wooden couch in the small tea room with his laptop in his arms, listening to the sea breeze and typing on the keyboard.

The crisp voice echoed in the room, and it seemed to contain the fragrance of ink.

"Chapter 15, calligraphy work."

"The first section, the level of calligraphers and the realm of calligraphy works."

"Section 2: Masterpieces of famous calligraphers and their grades."

……

After writing another chapter, Li Shi was not in a hurry to start writing the remaining thirteenth chapter. Instead, he put down his notebook, stood up, and took a drink of water.

Then I looked out the window at the sea and enjoyed the open sea view for a while.

The weather in Yancheng has been very good these days, the sun is shining brightly, so in the evening, the clouds on the sea will be particularly beautiful.

He took a photo with his phone, sat back, picked up his laptop, and continued typing:

"Chapter 16, calligraphy appreciation."

"Section 1, the aesthetic rules of calligraphy appreciation..."

Just after losing the first section of the new chapter, He Yaru called in.

Li Shi picked up the cell phone next to him and connected: "What's wrong, my big agent?"

"Teacher Li, I know you are very busy now, so in order not to disturb you, I will finish the matter quickly. There are only two things. One is the application materials from the Book Association, which I have already submitted; the second is publishing. I also contacted the social sciences publishing house, and according to my aunt’s suggestion, I contacted the Social Sciences Literature Press, which is a professional academic publishing organization directly under the Academy of Social Sciences and has published many high-quality academic works in the humanities and social sciences.”

Sister He's slightly magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone. She knew that Li Shi was in retreat and writing a book during this period.

Li Shi laughed when he heard this: "It seems, thank you for your hard work."

Sister He also smiled: "These are not hard work. I am only responsible for the arrangements. The assistants will do the specific things. It is the homework you assigned me. It is very hard to complete. Teacher Li, can I only write half of it? Copying carefully fifty times a day is a bit too much."

Some time ago, Li Shi assigned her a calligraphy assignment of copying "Beauty Bath" twenty times a day, and she had to copy it carefully stroke by stroke.

He also told her that he could tell at a glance on her homework whether she was copying seriously or not.

So don't be lazy.

He Yaru initially felt that "Beauty Bath" had only a few words, so copying it fifty times was nothing. But when she copied it according to Li Shi's request, she realized that copying it once would cost her a lot of time and energy.

Now she basically spends four to five hours a day studying calligraphy.

Li Shi said angrily: "What do you think? Can you cut corners when it comes to studying?"

He Yaru, a noble lady, sneered and said quickly: "Of course you can't be lazy when it comes to studying. I'm just kidding. Teacher Li, you see, I will definitely complete my daily homework with high quality and quantity!"

Only then did Li Shi say with satisfaction: "Well, if you overcome the difficulties and study and practice according to the plan I made for you, by the time you complete this stage, your level will definitely improve qualitatively."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that he was going to give his first calligraphy lecture in a few days. As his only named disciple in calligraphy, He Yaru could be present at this occasion.

Moreover, there will be a lot of useful information in my ten lectures.

Then he talked about the lecture again and said: "The first lecture is on November 6th, there are less than four days left. If you can be free, come and listen."

He Yaru immediately said: "Then I must listen!"

"Okay, Sister He, please contact Zhang Huijing."

After the two chatted, Li Shi continued writing.

Unexpectedly, about twenty minutes later, He Yaru called again.

"Teacher Li, um, after my aunt heard that you were going to give a lecture, she also wanted to come and listen to it. Let me ask if it's convenient for you." He Yaru was a little embarrassed.

Li Shi didn't care, and said: "Come here, but I've been too busy recently. After writing this first book, I still have to prepare lessons, so I don't have time to entertain."

"That's not necessary, it's just...actually I don't want my aunt to go back the same way. She is old and her health has not been particularly good, so Teacher Li, I want you to persuade her."

It turned out that this was where she was embarrassed.

Li Shi thought for a while and said: "Then I will call Teacher Wu directly later and tell her that she can watch the live broadcast of the lecture."

"That's great. She is just an old child now. My advice is useless. She probably only listens to you, an idol."

He Yaru said with a smile. Sure enough, Li Shi called and Wu Xiulin agreed to watch the live video of the lecture at home. She also said that she would share the link of the video lecture with her old friends so that everyone can watch the live broadcast together, which can be regarded as bringing the old people in the calligraphy world to follow the trend.

Li Shi thought to himself that it would be okay to use a lecture to make his first appearance in front of this group of older generation colleagues. As the saying goes, an expert will know if he is good or not as soon as he makes a move. If they are really good at it and listen to my lecture once, they will naturally know where the gap is with me. .

This may save you a lot of trouble in the future.

Moreover, preaching to colleagues, especially those who are authoritative in the calligraphy world, spreading your calligraphy ideas to them and letting them be influenced by your calligraphy thoughts is the highest quality of preaching in itself!

They have so many disciples and disciples, and if one of them affects them, it will affect a large group of people behind them!

"So, this lecture should be taken more seriously."

Just when Li Shi thought about it, something suddenly touched his mind.

He called up the learning panel to check——

Name: Li Shi

Constitution: 35.9

Wealth: 24.331【Whether to redeem】

Currently studying: Calligraphy (Professional+) [0.21%]

Learning completion library: omitted.

……

"what!"

Li Shi was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a learning progress bar behind the column he was studying!

He quickly used his consciousness to touch it, and there was immediate information feedback: The current progress from (Professional+) to (Grandmaster) is 0.21%. This is the accumulation of all the previous efforts to spread his calligraphy concepts and educate people with calligraphy.

He suddenly understood that on the one hand, he could get progress rewards by completing the triggered promotion tasks; on the other hand, all his other missionary efforts would also be reflected on the entire learning progress bar!

"Learning progress bar, this is another change in the upgrade process of the learning panel."

"There are already two of the three functional changes in the learning panel, leaving only the final daily task triggering function."

The new changes in the learning panel made Li Shi fall into deep thought again.

The new features of the learning panel upgrade were naturally influenced by his own subconscious, because the panel itself was the product of his soul entangled with the annihilation power of the nebula.

"But everything is to objectively assist my evolution, so that I can integrate more of the Nebula Annihilation Power."

"After much thought, in fact, the third change of daily task triggering function is the most important."

"The purpose of this daily random task triggering function is to regulate my mental health and cultivate my humanity and divinity as an immortal being in the future - that's right, people who live for five hundred years and people who live for a hundred years, In fact, they can no longer be regarded as the same kind of life."

"Ok?"

Li Shi suddenly expressed surprise and realized that he had previously ignored the hidden meaning of this new function.

"So in the panel estimation, now we need to start considering longevity? So, have I grown to this point?!"

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Let’s be honest, the allure of increased longevity outweighs everything else!

As much fear as there is between life and death, there will be as much joy as ever in immortality.

It's just that in this world, there should be no one whose lifespan exceeds 150 or 200 years. No one has ever been an immortal species, and no one knows what it feels like to live forever.

"So, this daily random task trigger function is for me to start learning how to be an immortal, hehe."

"Mental health adjustment, human nature and divinity...well, the amount of information hidden in this is also huge."

……

The last chapter is about calligraphy appreciation. Li Shi spent more than three hours writing it.

He stopped, quickly flipped through Chapter 16, and nodded with satisfaction.

“We’ll talk about the refinement later.”

So far, the first draft has only completed the text part, and there are still many illustrations of famous works from various dynasties that have not been completed.

For this part, Li Shi plans to divide it into two parts. For the works that have been handed down and preserved in China, he will use pictures from his previous collection of materials, and for those works that have been lost in history or lost overseas, he will write them himself!

He stood up, stretched, picked up his cell phone and dialed Zhang Huijing's number.

After a few rings, the phone was connected, and the assistant's voice immediately came over there: "Boss."

"Have you returned to the hotel?" Li Shi looked at the time on the phone screen. It was already after six o'clock in the evening, and then asked.

Zhang Huijing: "I'm back from school and it's going very well, so I didn't come to disturb you."

Li Shi didn't come to her to ask about the preparations for the lecture. He said directly: "Has the antique paper box and antique silk cloth I asked you to buy arrived?"

"We're here, boss. I just picked up the express delivery this afternoon. It's in my room right now. Do you want to deliver it to you?"

"Send it over, I want to use it now."

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Li Shi got up and went to open the door, and found two little girls, Zhang Huijing and Wang Yao, carrying a large cardboard box outside the door.

He quickly took it, and it was quite heavy. No wonder they had to carry it with two people.

"We'll talk about other things later. You can go and rest first."

After the two employees went out, Li Shi closed the door, opened the box, and took out a roll of antique silk cloth from the inside. He touched it and felt that the material was good and met his requirements, so he cut a piece with a knife and spread it on the Ready for use on desk.

He thought about it for a while and planned to imitate "Sang Luan Tie" first.

In "Introduction to Calligraphy", which he has just completed the first draft of, this is one of Wang Xizhi's important masterpieces and has been quoted as many as four times.

The Tang Dynasty copy of the original work is rumored to be in the Sannomaru Shokan of the Imperial Household Agency in Japan.

When Li Shi was learning calligraphy, he collected many high-definition images and was very familiar with this post.

Moreover, he is not only familiar with "Sangluan Tie", but also "Lanting Preface", "Peace Tie" and other works. It can even be said that his copying of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy had reached a state of perfection long after he created the "Linlan Pavilion Preface" which is comparable to a masterpiece.

It's just that this time I copied it for the purpose of publishing a book. First of all, I wanted to be similar in form, and secondly, in spirit.

So on the contrary, you don’t have to exert your highest level of copying, you even have to keep it in check.

I found the original image data, looked at it once, and after a while, I dipped my pen in ink and wrote:

Xi Zhi paused and said: The mourning is extremely chaotic, the tomb is first and then the poison is inflicted, the pursuit is so cruel, the admiration is destroyed, the pain is piercing the heart and liver, and there is nothing you can do when the pain is there! (End of chapter)
