Fang Yun felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this large lecture hall. He immediately imagined the scene of tens of thousands of people listening to the old teacher's lecture.
The reason why Mo Jianting found it difficult to pass the sixth pavilion was mainly because of the forced elimination method. Mo Jianting's first test was a competition of brush and ink sword.
Only the winner of the brush and ink sword could accept the second test.
If the winner's calligraphy was too outstanding during the brush and ink sword competition, they could directly be evaluated and enter the final seventh pavilion.
The brush as the sword, ink as the edge, and words as the blade. This was the content of Mo Jianting's test.
The students in Mo Jianting were not judged by their calligraphy positions, but by their calligraphy realm. If the two positions were different, it would increase the strength of the lower position.
Fang Yun walked up to the writing desk in the lecture hall. On the wall beside the desk, there were calligraphy works.
These calligraphy works did not have a signature, but Fang Yun knew from the books given by Zhao Hongzhuang that every calligraphy work with ten points would be hung here. Those who could reach ten points in calligraphy, other than a few who died young, most of them left their names in history. Fang Yun, who studied calligraphy, naturally recognized their handwriting and style.
The works of Wang Xizhi, Zhu Yizhang, Chen Guanhai, and others were all on this list. There were a total of twenty-seven works.
Ranked first was Wang Xizhi's work, "Ink Sword Calligraphy". Although this work was not as great as his "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion", "Funeral Calligraphy", and "Peace Calligraphy", it was still a masterpiece that had been passed down for many years.
In Mo Jianting, as one's calligraphy improved, it would form a different phenomenon. From words like flies to the legendary "Dragon Calligraphy", and among the ten points in the history of Lingyan Pavilion, only Wang Xizhi had reached the level of "Dragon Calligraphy".
Fang Yun looked at all twenty-seven calligraphy works with ten points. The pressure in his heart multiplied. Although these seniors had entered Lingyan Pavilion dozens of times and only once had a calligraphy work with ten points, it still proved that they were incomparably outstanding.
Fang Yun had learned from countless famous calligraphers in the World of Wondrous Books. The calligraphy techniques of these 'teachers' combined far surpassed the twenty-seven people in the Lingyan Pavilion.
When they were all High Scholars, Fang Yun's mastery of calligraphy far surpassed these 27 people. After all, he had put in a lot of time and effort to learn calligraphy.
But the problem was … The twenty-seven members of Mo Jianting were sweating just as much as Fang Yun. Furthermore, they had unfathomable inspirations and untraceable miracles.
Geniuses were not scary. Perfect geniuses were terrifying because they were not only more hardworking than ordinary people, but they also had inspirations that were almost impossible for others.
Fang Yun believed that a senior who could leave his name on the Black Sword Pavilion was a senior. They were all perfect geniuses.
This was Mo Jianting's handwriting, and it was different from ordinary calligraphy.
In Black Sword Pavilion. The brushwork, character, composition, and ink techniques of calligraphy all possessed extraordinary power.
To unleash this power, talent alone was not enough, and it required a lot of time and practice.
In the various parts of calligraphy, there were fourteen commonly used brushwork, including the center stroke, the side stroke, the side stroke, the lift stroke, the press stroke, the start stroke, and so on.
And there were close to a hundred that were not commonly used. As for the individual's unique brushwork, there were many more.
Even if Fang Yun had been practicing calligraphy seriously, he was only unique in the brushwork and character, and was slightly lacking in the composition and ink techniques.
Once the composition was mastered. Coupled with the improvement of the brushwork, he could at least become a master of the second level of calligraphy.
Fang Yun had already studied Mo Jianting's calligraphy with the help of Zhao Hongzhuang. But he was unable to see the original works of the famous masters. Now that he had the chance to seriously observe the calligraphy of more than twenty seniors, Fang Yun was completely focused, hoping to gain a more direct and vivid harvest from it.
Fang Yun re-observed the works of these calligraphy masters when they were young. When he saw the twentieth piece of calligraphy, Fang Yun stared at it for a long time. His eyes lit up, and he fell into deep thought.
After an unknown period of time, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Fang Yun, I will no longer underestimate you. I admit that you are an almost undefeatable enemy. But no matter how calculating you are, you have forgotten that I, Wei Yu, am also a scholar! In order to protect you, Chang Dongyun did not hesitate to give up his future. As for me, I also have ambitions to defeat you! "
Fang Yun turned around and saw that Wei Yu had appeared below the desk and was walking towards him.
At this moment, Wei Yu was no longer as arrogant as before, nor was he depressed. He was in high spirits, his gaze sharp, and his steps steady. He was like a hero who had sacrificed himself for justice, displaying the demeanor of a scholar.
In Wei Yu's hand was a thick brush.
Fang Yun's heart sank as he realized what Wei Yu was about to do.
Fang Yun showed no fear. His expression was normal as he slowly said, "Come on up. I want to see how strong the calligraphy you've given up on is!"
"As expected of the Crazy Lord. You, Fang Yun, do have the qualifications to be so arrogant! I will also not chatter endlessly like before. I will only use your words to tell you that it is not that I do not want to let you go, but that you have chosen to fail! The Lei family's Ascending Dragon Stone will definitely not lose to you! "
"Come on up." Fang Yun calmly looked at Wei Yu.
Wei Yu carried the large brush and slowly walked up to the table.
The two of them looked at each other. Wei Yu said, "No matter what, today will be the last time I see you. I heard that you are good at regular script, so I will write the character 'Yong'. Please advise me, Brother Fang! "
After saying this, Wei Yu held the large brush and pointed it at Fang Yun, writing in the air.
There was no ink at the tip of the brush, and no paper in the air. But as Wei Yu's wrist and brush moved, a black character 'Yong' was formed.
The character 'Yong' had an extraordinary status in the calligraphy world. Even a third or fourth level calligraphy master would often practice writing this character.
The character 'Yong' was full of the basic strokes of regular script. It included the eight strokes of 'Yong', which were called the 'Eight Strokes of the Yong'. It was created by the Master of Calligraphy, Wang Xizhi. The 'Eight Strokes' could even be used to refer to the entire calligraphy. It could be seen how important the Eight Strokes of the Yong were.
The character 'Yong' not only contained various strokes, but also the basic characters and composition. Some calligraphers even believed that if they practiced the character 'Yong' to the extreme, they would know everything about calligraphy.
If a beginner wanted to learn the calligraphy of a master, they would often start by copying the master's character 'Yong'.
The character 'Yong' was the foundation of the foundation.
Fang Yun slightly squinted his eyes. His expression was serious as he carefully observed Wei Yu's character 'Yong'.
Wei Yu deliberately wrote the character 'Yong' not out of respect or courtesy. Instead, he wanted to completely overwhelm Fang Yun with his solid foundation!
Once he completely defeated Fang Yun on the basis of regular script, it would be a strong blow to Fang Yun's state of mind. Then, he would have an absolute advantage.
When Wei Yu was halfway through writing the character 'Yong', Fang Yun's expression became even more serious. Wei Yu's calligraphy was actually learned from Chen Guanhai!
Chen Guanhai's calligraphy was in the top three among all the calligraphers today, not the third. Instead, there were three people who were equally ranked in the top three.
In Jingguo, a large number of scholars' calligraphy could be said to have been learned from Chen Guanhai. The biggest reason was that Chen Guanhai's authentic calligraphy was very common in Jingguo. Especially in Jingguo Academy and the capital, there were treasures of Chen Guanhai's calligraphy everywhere.
From Chen Guanhai's calligraphy when he was a student to his works after he became a Saint, there was everything one could think of. It could be said that it was the most complete calligraphy path in the world. The strokes, strokes, strokes, and so on were all placed in front of one's eyes like a textbook.
In order to enter the fourth level of calligraphy, one had to create one's own font and stroke intent. But that was too difficult. It was better to learn Chen Guanhai's calligraphy and quickly enter the third level.
Chen Guanhai's name had the word 'sea' in it, and he liked water very much. Back when he became a Jinshi, he saw the Yangtze River and wrote an ancient masterpiece, 'Great River Flow'. He successfully entered the second level of calligraphy and created his own stroke intent, 'Torrent Flow', which laid a solid foundation for entering the fourth level of calligraphy.
Chen Sheng's' Torrent Flow Brush Intent 'was famous for being the overlord of Ink Sword Pavilion, because this brush intent was endless. It was continuous and intense at the beginning. The middle stage was stable and full of energy. Back when Chen Sheng studied in the Nine Nations and Confucius Academy, he had never tasted defeat in Ink Sword Pavilion because of his brush intent, 'Torrent Flow'.
His peers even joked that the reason why Chen Guanhai created such a brush intent was so that he could surpass everyone in Ink Sword Pavilion.
But now, Wei Yu's' Yong 'word actually contained the shadow of Chen Sheng's brush intent,' Torrent Flow '. The entire' Yong 'word seemed to be alive, and the black word seemed to be rolling slightly in the air, about to transform into an endless river that would flow to the sea.
Soon, Wei Yu finished writing the entire 'Yong' word. Suddenly, the word split into many small dots, dancing in the air like flies. This was something that a first level calligraphy expert could easily achieve in Ink Sword Pavilion, 'Words Like Flies'.
However, these shattered ink marks quickly merged together, and the words trembled like water waves. The eight strokes that formed the word 'Yong', including the dot, horizontal, vertical, hook, lift, stroke, short stroke and stroke, suddenly split apart, transforming into eight curved ink marks that trembled in the air like eight black earthworms.
This was the rarely seen 'Words Like Earthworms' in Ink Sword Pavilion. It was dozens of times more powerful than 'Words Like Flies'. Every single earthworm had great power in Ink Sword Pavilion.
What was different from ordinary 'Words Like Earthworms' was that the surface of these eight earthworms had a faint watery glow.
The power contained in this' Yong 'word was at least twice as strong as that without the watery glow!
At the same time as the 'Yong' word was formed, six pieces of white paper, each measuring one square foot, appeared on the ground. There was one under each of their feet, and two behind each of them.
This was the well-known 'Paper Return'. In the course of the Ink Sword Competition, the winner could leave his words on the white paper under the opponent's feet, and at the same time force the opponent to retreat.
Whoever's three pieces of paper had words written on them would lose the Mo Jianting competition.
The paper returned was also the key to the evaluation of the wagers.
"Fang Yun, you should step back!" Wei Yu looked at Fang Yundao. "I don't know what method you used to drive away the young duke and the people from the Kang and Liu Feng Societies at the Bouncing Wave Pavilion, but in the end, calligraphy takes into account one's foundation and experience. My 'Yong' word, if you use 'Yong', you will lose without a doubt. If you use other words, your heart will be afraid, and your mind will be in chaos. "
Fang Yun held the brush in his hand and pointed the tip of the brush at Wei Yu. "Your 'Yong' word is indeed not bad. Unfortunately, you have Chen Sheng's words, but you don't have Chen Sheng's meaning. If Chen Sheng had written this word when he was young, I would have lost without a doubt, but you are different! I like to sit by the Enlightenment River, and I often see wooden sticks beating my clothes, breaking the water to clean my clothes. I also see boatmen paddling, parting the water to move forward. Because of this, I comprehended a brush technique. Although it is not mature, it can beat you! Watch carefully! "
