Wang Yougui was taken aback before he said with a smile, "That's good too. Venerable Fangzheng, I won't beat around the bush. It's like this. It's almost the new year. Everyone needs to put up couplets. In the past, everyone would go out to buy them. Now that our village has a calligrapher, everyone naturally doesn't want to go out to buy them. I just want you to write a couplet for everyone. Look … "Wang Yougui shrugged, indicating that it was up to Fangzheng.
What else could Fangzheng say? They were all from the same village. There was no way he could reject them. Besides, Wang Yougui had mentioned it previously. It was not a sudden attack. Therefore Fangzheng readily agreed.
The villagers were delighted when they saw Fangzheng agree. They were afraid that Fangzheng would have some strange rule that would reject them.
The villagers were happy. Sun Guanying, Ouyang Fenghua, and company also saw hope. They came forward with the people from the Calligraphy Association to greet Fangzheng.
Fangzheng still remembered Sun Guanying. He jumped in fright when he saw him and hurriedly said, "Amitabha. Patron, if you still wish to compete in calligraphy, please leave. This Penniless Monk will not compete with anyone in the future. "
"Venerable … Venerable Fangzheng, you are mistaken. We are not here to compete in calligraphy. We are here to ask for your calligraphy." After seeing Fangzheng's Dragon Buddha Epithet, how could Sun Guanying have the confidence to compete with Fangzheng? Unless he had a screw loose!
Fangzheng was stunned. He could understand why the villagers wanted calligraphy but he could not understand why these calligraphers wanted calligraphy! Wasn't it just a couplet? Couldn't they write it themselves?
Fangzheng did not say a word. Sun Guanying and company were feeling uneasy. Were they going to fail? What would happen if Fangzheng rejected them? All of them looked at Fangzheng, panting uneasily.
Ouyang Fenghua leaned over and said carefully, "Venerable One, are you still mad at us? Why don't I apologize to you? "
"Yes, yes, yes. We apologize to you. We were the ones who messed around the last time and broke the rules," someone immediately answered.
Fangzheng hurriedly shook his head. "Amitabha. Patrons, you are mistaken. It's just This Penniless Monk never expected that all of you would come to ask for calligraphy. Forget it. Since I'm here, I might as well write it together. "Fangzheng pondered. It did not matter if he wrote the villagers' or these people's. Since it was the new year, everyone should have fun.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that!
Fangzheng didn't know how precious his words were, but they knew! Even if each word was not worth a thousand pieces of gold, each word was worth at least a thousand! When he returned home, he would place it in his own room, adding a bit of the fragrance of books! If Fangzheng's words became popular one day, they would be worth even more! The main point was that it felt good to see such good calligraphy! If he could comprehend one or two of them, it would be even more beneficial!
Liu Shuqing was originally walking at the back. Mt. One Finger's scenery wasn't bad, so he wanted to take some pictures and draw them before composing a poem. It would be a pretty good experience. As for what the people in front of him were talking about, he didn't care at all.
Liu Shuqing only took a glance at Fangzheng's appearance before shaking his head. He thought nothing of it. "What can such a young monk write? Even if he started practicing calligraphy in his mother's womb, he wouldn't have had more than ten years of experience, right? Could it be better than Elder Sun's? Sigh … I really don't know what background this monk has for everyone to praise him so much. "
Liu Shuqing muttered in his heart. He walked around the crowd. No matter what they said, he only cared about himself.
When he came to the monastery's entrance, he picked up his cell phone and was about to take a picture when he suddenly froze in his spot!
After putting down his cell phone, Liu Shuqing looked at the Spring Festival couplets at the entrance as though he had seen a ghost! At a glance, Liu Shuqing seemed to see a Buddha riding a divine dragon, leaving behind imprints!
The words were bold and majestic. While they made one's blood boil, they also felt a righteous aura descend from the heavens and cleanse their bodies. All the frustrations in their hearts were swept away! Their minds were at peace!
"What … What are these words?" Liu Shuqing looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
"Uncle Liu, this is Master's calligraphy. How is it? Isn't it shocking? " Ouyang Fenghua had come to Liu Shuqing's side at some point in time. When she saw Liu Shuqing's expression, she smiled in satisfaction.
Liu Shuqing nodded immediately. "It's indeed shocking! It's no wonder all of you praise him so much. This calligraphy is really good! "
"Uncle Liu, you are overthinking things. We are not praising Master. It's that Master really has the ability! It's just that he's humble. "Ouyang Fenghua looked at Fangzheng's back, her eyes filled with confusion and idolization. Born into a family of scholars, she had been influenced by that environment from a young age. Her love for calligraphy was something no ordinary person could compare with!
From a young age, she was the best calligrapher in her class and school. She received all sorts of awards and was augmented by all sorts of halos. She was like a future star of the calligraphy world! That was what she had always demanded of herself. She had to become a national calligraphy master!
Under the halos, she had always been picky about the calligraphy of her peers. She did not believe that anyone could challenge her! But after seeing Fangzheng's calligraphy, she suddenly realized that her calligraphy was a joke!
Why did he have such accomplishments at the same age? He was clearly a young monk, but why was his smile so radiant? His every move made people feel comfortable?
Logically speaking, she should have been hostile to people who suppressed her in every aspect. But against Fangzheng, she actually idolized him … It left her astonished! She originally believed that this would only happen to her father …
"He is indeed a genius. However, I still can't accept it without seeing his calligraphy! Let's go and take a look! "Liu Shuqing was completely intrigued. Could the young monk really write such calligraphy?
And at that moment, with everyone's help, the table was set up and red paper for writing couplets was spread out. Sun Guanying personally ground the ink for Fangzheng.
Wang Yougui held a small booklet and placed it in front of Fangzheng. "The couplets everyone wants are written in here. Write as you see fit. As for whose family it belongs to, just come and claim it. "
Fangzheng nodded and waved his brush. His brush moved like a serpent as beautiful and majestic words appeared on the paper as though they had come to life!
Every stroke seemed to produce a thunderous dragon roar. However, it was only an illusion. In fact, there was no such effect.
Liu Shuqing was completely convinced after reading a few words. She stared intently, not daring to let her mind wander! It would be a great loss to miss such good calligraphy!
It would have been fine if Fangzheng did not write, but the moment he started writing, he felt like he could not stop! Ever since he learned the Dragon Buddha Manjushri, he did not have enough ink and paper to write. Now that he finally had enough, he was able to let loose!
Furthermore, it was the Chinese New Year. It was bustling on the mountain, and he was in a good mood. He naturally felt happier. With a flourish of his brush, he wrote faster and faster. His words also became more beautiful and majestic!
