Even with Chu Chen's sharp spiritual sense, he couldn't even see how the old man disappeared!
A strange chill suddenly rose from Chu Chen's back. This meant that if the old man made a move on him, he wouldn't be able to resist at all.
It seemed like the Medicine Palace was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. They couldn't be underestimated.
Everyone followed the old man's finger and walked past a row of tall bookshelves. Sure enough, they saw four small sandalwood tables neatly arranged together. Each table had a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. There were also a few mahogany chairs around the small tables.
"Six Beast Hair Brush, Mysterious Spirit Ink, Celestial Celestial Spiritual Paper, Golden Star Snow Wave Inkstone!"
After seeing the Four Treasures of the Study on the sandalwood tables, Shen Hou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Only those who truly loved and understood books would know the rarity and preciousness of the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on these small tables.
At this moment, even Chu Chen couldn't help but feel his pupils shrink slightly after hearing Shen Hou's words. A trace of surprise appeared on his face.
"It seems like that old man is really willing to spend a lot of money. He actually used such precious and rare treasures for us to copy ancient runes." Chu Chen smiled bitterly. "It seems like if we don't work hard, we'll really be wasting these rare treasures!"
"Hmm? Are these things very precious? They don't look any different from ordinary brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. "
Seeing Shen Hou and Chu Chen's serious expressions, the usually lazy Zhou Mei was a little surprised.
Chu Chen was still alright, but his expression was a little serious.
Shen Hou's expression was more exaggerated. He stood in front of the four sandalwood tables, tidied his clothes, and repeatedly wiped his hands on his clothes. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to the Four Treasures of the Study on the tables.
"Hey, hey, hey … What are you doing? Why are you bowing for no reason? The bookworm is jealous again." Zhou Mei couldn't help but sigh softly after seeing Shen Hou's actions.
"It seems like Brother Shen is really a book lover."
Chu Chen sighed softly. He gently tugged at Zhou Mei and gave her a look.
At this time, even Tang Rou gently tugged at Zhou Mei, signaling her not to disturb Shen Hou's etiquette.
Chu Chen, who had pulled Zhou Mei aside, lowered his voice.
"Books are the embodiment of human civilization. They continue the glorious history of human beings. As a scholar, he should have a devout heart for books. Legend has it that when ancient sages were reading or writing, they would first burn incense and bathe, calm their Qi, and pray devoutly before they could officially start reading. "
"It was because of their pious reverence for human civilization that those ancient sages were able to truly explore the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth from books and leave their names in history! At this moment, the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk are not inferior to the divine weapons of the spiritual level to a scholar. "
Zhou Mei gently smiled and waved her hand. "You scholars have so many rules. You can bow. I'll just watch."
Chu Chen immediately walked to the desk. Just like Shen Hou, he wiped his hands on his clothes and tidied his clothes to show his solemnity. Then, he respectfully bowed.
Behind him, Tang Rou also bowed respectfully.
This bow was actually not just for the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. It was also for the brilliant wisdom of countless human ancestors!
After Shen Hou bowed, he was the first to start 'copying'.
He walked to a sandalwood desk and pondered for a moment. Then, his expression turned solemn. He gently exhaled and his right hand reached for the brush on the table.
Hm?
Just as Shen Hou grabbed the brush, his expression froze for a moment, revealing a look of horror. His hand actually couldn't grab the brush.
In the next moment, the spiritual energy in his body burst out. His face instantly flushed red and the veins on his right arm bulged. It was as if he was using all the strength in his body to slowly lift the Six Beast Hair Brush.
How was this like grabbing a brush? It was clearly grabbing a mountain!
It was just a brush, but it was actually so heavy!
This was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone's gaze immediately focused on Shen Hou.
At this moment, Zhou Mei, who was originally in a daze at the side, also had a slight twinkle in her eyes.
Shen Hou's body was very strong. He came from the Wildlands and was born with divine strength. In terms of strength, he could definitely be considered a super hercules.
However, at this moment, this burly man, who was famous for his strength, couldn't even lift a brush!
It was only when he used all the spiritual energy in his body that he slowly lifted the brush.
Even so, Shen Hou held on for a few breaths of time before he finally couldn't hold on any longer. His trembling fingers loosened, and the brush in his hand softly fell on the wooden table with a "pa" sound, making a dull sound.
It was like the sound of dull thunder!
This, this, this … How was he supposed to live? A brush was so heavy???
Zhou Mei frowned slightly. The laziness and laziness from before had also lessened by a bit.
A trace of solemnity appeared on Tang Rou's face. "Let me try."
She walked to the small square table and silently circulated all the spiritual energy in her body.
As she circulated her cultivation method, her entire right hand instantly turned dark green like jade, as if it was carved out of jade. It seemed like she had already activated the Divine Wood Sea-crossing Spring to its peak.
After the dark green hand slowly grasped the Six Beast Hair Brush, she lifted it up unhurriedly. The speed at which she lifted the brush was slightly faster than Shen Hou, but it was still twice as slow as a normal person.
The genius girl, Tang Rou, calmly flipped open an ancient book on the table. Then, she picked up the brush and gently dipped it in ink on the inkstone.
When the brush with six different colors was gently dipped in the jade-like ink, Chu Chen saw Tang Rou's right arm clearly tremble again.
Fine beads of sweat started to appear on the girl's smooth forehead.
After a long pause, the slender brush was finally fully dipped in ink. Tang Rou, whose breathing was getting more and more rapid, picked up the brush in a very elegant and slow manner. Then, she started to write on the clean porcelain paper that had already been spread out on the table.
Shen Hou and Zhou Mei suddenly felt nervous. They were worried that the brush in Tang Rou's hand would drop at any moment!
Tang Rou wrote very slowly and more steadily than they had imagined. Every stroke of hers seemed to carry the weight of a thousand kilograms.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she finally finished writing the first word with great difficulty. The beads of sweat on her forehead had already formed sparkling and translucent beads of sweat that dripped down her face.
Tang Rou, the genius girl, had always had extraordinary perseverance. She wrote one word after another, and after almost an hour, she had completed the third word!
After she finished the last stroke of the third word, Tang Rou could no longer hold on. She gently placed the brush on the brush rack at the side, and her entire body went limp as if she had collapsed.
