Chapter 41: The Old Man\'s Past
Gu Heng shook his head: "Your words are too sharp, too eager, and you lose your composure. I think this young master has biased your mood..."
Gu Heng couldn\'t say that the old man\'s handwriting was not beautiful. In fact, it was quite good, but it couldn\'t be compared with his.
His calligraphy skills were acquired through systematic training.
It is impossible for ordinary people to write calligraphy that is better and more meaningful than his.
"...Hahaha!"
The old man suddenly raised his head and laughed.
He had planned everything, but he never expected that he, who was skilled in calligraphy and was known as the "Dry-Brush Demon Killer", would be taught a lesson by a mortal boy in this small Yunling City!
He once suppressed a huge force with a piece of calligraphy. He could shock countless people with his writing. It is true that when he put pen to paper, his words are true and his writing expresses his true meaning!
"Dry brush kills demons" is so powerful.
But to the old man, all that is in the past.
It was just because he was defeated by a strong man who also entered the Tao of Calligraphy. No matter in terms of cultivation or artistic conception, he lost miserably. Since then, "Qianbi Shamo" disappeared, and Yunling City had an old man who carved plaques for others.
He devoted himself to this and delved into calligraphy, just to erase his former murderous nature, immerse himself in the path, and hope to make a breakthrough one day.
More than ten years have passed.
The old man was immersed in the understanding of writing every day, and he had a thorough understanding of the true meaning contained in his words, but nothing had changed. It seemed that his path had reached a bottleneck.
However, he did get rid of his tendency to kill people at any time.
No matter how secluded he was and how kind he was to mortals, he almost forgot that he was actually a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
but...
This young man dared to comment on his "writing" like this! ?
The old man felt insulted.
How can a mortal be qualified to judge his calligraphy?
They couldn\'t even feel the slightest bit of the true meaning of the great Dao contained in these words!
"I know my handwriting very well! You are so young, how can you judge my handwriting?"
The old man\'s words seemed to have touched upon some kind of taboo, which instantly intensified, causing the air in the entire store to suddenly freeze.
"You..." The young man was frightened when he saw the old man getting angry.
"How dare you humiliate Senior Gu! I think you are tired of living!" the young man shouted.
Lu Yan is a cultivator at the first stage of the Nascent Soul stage. He is very young and his vision is not high, but he has no problem observing people\'s words and expressions and feeling the atmosphere.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very oppressive. He almost couldn\'t bear it if the old man\'s aura escaped even a little bit.
His name sounds very flamboyant and domineering, but in fact, as the second son of the Lu family, the overlord of the west of Yunling City, he is not like his brothers who practice the martial arts inherited from the family, nor does he join the Nianling Sect to practice. Instead, he is obsessed with calligraphy and plans to use it to enter the Tao!
Lu Yan found this alley by chance.
After seeing the words written casually by the old man, he was deeply moved. It was the sharp meaning contained in the words that allowed him to successfully break through that barrier and enter the Nascent Soul stage!
From then on, Lu Yan was very grateful to the old man and was determined to become his disciple, even if it meant just being a handyman here.But the old man never had that idea.
He just saw that the second son of the Lu family really loved calligraphy, so he gave him some pointers, but that was all.
But Lu Yan\'s stubbornness was indeed beyond his imagination.
In the past, the old man would have killed this kind of young man in one move, saving trouble. But now he has already put aside his murderous aspirations and is unwilling to engage in unnecessary fighting.
I was just worrying about it, but I never expected that a business would come to my door today, and the one who came was a very arrogant young man!
Naturally, Lu Yan couldn\'t bear to see the old man\'s profound calligraphy being humiliated by a mortal, and he said something like "it\'s still lacking the right technique". Then, looking at Gu Heng, there was not a single fluctuation of true energy on his body, and he was just an ordinary mortal.
Lu Yan was even a little worried that this guy was too arrogant and would be killed by the old man soon.
Gu Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, I think you also practice calligraphy, but I think your talent is a little inferior. You can\'t understand Mr. Gu\'s calligraphy, but I can."
The young man was so angry, "How can you be so arrogant!"
The old man narrowed his eyes, stared at Gu Heng, waved his hand, and signaled Lu Yan to leave: "Okay! You sit down!"
"Senior..." The young man was still a little unconvinced.
"Let him continue talking." The old man said in a deep voice.
The young man gritted his teeth and could only glare at Gu Heng hatefully, but he still sat obediently on the chair.
"Little kid, just say whatever you want to say. I want to see what you have to say that my handwriting is not mature enough!"
Gu Heng\'s mouth curled up, his eyes sparkled with pride, and he said loudly: "Okay, if I say one point wrong, I am willing to accept the penalty!"
He calmly walked to the table, pointed at the word "Tao" in the painting "Asking for Peace of Mind" on the table, and said calmly: "Mr. Gu\'s \'Tao\' has fine strokes, and he writes with care. Its tip is sharp, but it is mixed with too many distracting thoughts. It has never reached the peak. Although it is a realm that ordinary people cannot reach, but..."
He deliberately didn\'t finish his words, but the old man\'s mouth twitched anyway.
Indeed, what he said was right. I tried my best to eliminate all distracting thoughts when I put pen to paper, but no matter what, the true meaning of what I wrote was far from perfect.
But...did this kid see through it?
How could a mortal understand this? Could he have guessed it?
The old man narrowed his eyes.
"In short, it\'s not perfect."
The old man scolded, "Boy, stop showing off in front of me! I know much more than you do. You did guess some of the questions by coincidence, but I think you are just bragging!"
Gu Heng shook his head and sighed: "It seems you don\'t believe it."
Indeed, such an old man must have spent his entire life studying calligraphy. How could he accept a young person questioning his handwriting?
But unfortunately, Gu Heng can be questioned.
Because his "calligraphy" has reached "superb perfection", no mortal can be better than him!
He pointed to the scroll in the old man\'s hand.
"Open it and take a look. I believe Mr. Gu is also a master of calligraphy. I think you understand the difference between them."
The old man\'s face trembled. He didn\'t understand where this young man got his confidence from, but he still opened the copybook doubtfully, and his pupils suddenly shrank!
I saw a pair of vigorous words jumping out of the paper——
"Gu\'s Medical Clinic"!
The old man was stunned and stood there.Lu Yan\'s eyes were filled with horror! He took one look and then immediately closed his eyes, because the moment the calligraphy was opened, the boundless Dao rhyme instantly rushed out, and Lu Yan actually felt the threat of death at that moment!
He can\'t read this calligraphy!
If your cultivation is not good enough, you will die if you try to understand the true meaning of this great Dao!
Although Lu Yan knew that as long as he could see the words, his cultivation would definitely improve, but that was a delicacy containing a deadly poison. For the sake of his life, he must not try it!
"This is... this is..."
The old man\'s not-so-cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with golden light!
These four simple words contained a vast rhyme of Taoism that almost made the old man fall into it and couldn\'t extricate himself!
Different from his extremely sharp true meaning, this calligraphy made him feel as if it could contain all rivers and contain the majestic power of heaven and earth, which was truly displayed in the form of these words!
The deeper he explored, the more mysteries he discovered. It seemed that there was a collision between the supreme sword will and the knife will that split the mountains and cracked the earth, as well as the fierce might of the military formation condensed by thousands of troops, and even the shape and rhythm of the profound techniques when the holy forging of magic tools...
The old man was speechless.
But he had the answer in his heart.
This is "a word he will never be able to write."
After a while, the old man raised his head with difficulty and said in a bitter voice: "...Who are you?"
If these words were written by the young man in front of me... No, he is definitely not a young man!
Which young person could have such a profound and profound truth? Impossible.
"My surname is Gu, and my given name is Heng. Mr. Gu, you can just call me Master Gu. There is no need to call me anything else. I have heard too many of them since I came in. It is quite annoying."
"But I am no different from you. I am just a casual person living in this market."
Gu Heng was frank and had nothing to hide.
He knew that the old man was definitely impressed by his calligraphy. The old guy might have been very high-spirited in the past, and maybe he still is now, but being defeated by a "yellow-haired kid" must be very uncomfortable.
But who else could he be? He was just an ordinary man trying to make a living in Yunling City.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
He couldn\'t help frowning.
Is this old man crazy? How can he laugh like this?
The old man\'s laughter lasted for a long time before it stopped.
"No different from me... Indeed, but you have achieved something, while I have studied calligraphy for decades, but I still cannot reach your level."
The old man looked at Gu Heng, but he never thought that there was another master living in seclusion in Yunling City.
Just like him...haha, the old man even felt a little ashamed.
He was in great difficulty and unable to break through, so he had no choice but to hide himself from the world and seek the truth.
But Gu Heng was completely different in her eyes. He had already reached some kind of peak. Perhaps he had already completed the journey of seeking the truth and had nothing to do, so he lived in seclusion in the city.
The two people\'s realms are completely different.
The old man felt that there was a huge gap between his own realm and his.
He seemed to have accepted his fate. He rolled up the calligraphy and put it aside, but his thoughts were always immersed in the vast and boundless artistic conception. He knew that the "insight" that had eluded him for many years was about to appear!
