Liu Zhizhi planned to take advantage of the calligraphy association's activities to pay a visit to Ge Miao from the Iron Blood Alliance. When others help you, it is also the proper etiquette for you to visit and thank others.

After Liu Zhizhi returned to the villa, he went to visit his seniors. It was a bit embarrassing to go empty-handed. What gifts should he prepare? Nutritional products or luxuries from the world have no meaning to a monk. If he gave a magic weapon, it would be a bit of a show off for a junior.

Liu Zhizhi thought about it for a long time, and decided to go to the jade market. What he could get his hands on without appearing obtrusive were jade carvings. For monks, they are not only a kind of art, but also a way to calm their mind.

The use of Qi is similar to the Feng Shui instrument, but it is just right.

Liu Zhizhi wandered around the jade market for a day before he selected a stone that could not be regarded as jade. It was a silica fossil of an ancient wood, but it could not be used as pith for refining because it did not have the physical properties to be useful, but it had some spirituality.

, can calm people's hearts, and because of this, Liu Zhizhi won it.

After returning to the villa, I spent a few days thinking carefully about it, and finally it turned out to be a work of a shepherd boy's flute. A cow is crossing a river, and the shepherd boy is half coiled on the cow's back. He is blowing the flute from his mouth, creating ripples in the water, duckweeds and a water lily.

It is clearly visible that the whole work immediately removes people's irritability and creates a weak and peaceful aura within a certain range. This work is not big, about the size of a watermelon. After polishing, it is warm and translucent.

It's a good piece of work.

Liu Zhizhi made another wooden box, which is actually a basket. The jade carving is not easy to carry. Liu Zhizhi can put it in a storage bag, but according to Liu Zhizhi’s understanding, there are very few storage devices. Although the other party is a senior

, Liu Zhizhi decided that it would be better not to show it. Using some soft things as a buffer, Liu Zhizhi put the object into a wooden box. The entire basket was not too heavy. Of course, for Liu Zhizhi, if he were an ordinary person. Watermelon

Small and large rocks are quite heavy.

When it was time to set off, not many people came to Yushan. Although Shanghai was a big city, not many people could join Qian Wen. According to the agreement, Liu Zhizhi arrived at the appointed place in advance to wait for him. It took about half an hour for the car to arrive.

It was a luxury bus. Liu Zhizhi was carrying a bag. There was a change of clothes in the bag. These things were necessary when going out. In addition, he prepared a set of the four treasures of the study.

But he was holding an exquisite basket in his hand, with the jade carving inside. The car stopped in front of Liu Zhizhi, and Liu Zhizhi got on. There were not many people in the car, less than twenty people, and the air-conditioning was sufficient, but for Liu Zhizhi

He said that it didn't matter whether there was air conditioning or not. Liu Zhizhi didn't know anyone else except Qian Wenzhi.

When Qian Wenzhi saw Liu Zhizhi getting on the bus, he hurriedly greeted him and asked Liu Zhizhi to sit next to him. After Liu Zhizhi also said hello to Qian Wenzhi, he walked to the empty seat next to Qian Wenzhi. Everyone else was a little surprised. After all, he could

Not many people are as enthusiastic as Qian Wenzhi, not to mention that Liu Zhizhi is too young. Calligraphy requires not only basic skills, but also life experience. It is difficult to do this at such a young age. Some people even doubt whether Liu Zhizhi

What is the relationship with Qian Wenzhi?

Qian Wenyi introduced everyone in the car to Liu Zhizhi one by one, and Liu Zhizhi also greeted them politely. After all, he was the youngest among them, and some of them were at least thirty or above. With this introduction, Liu Zhizhi

Only then did I realize that everyone in the car was considered famous in Shanghai.

At the same time, many people in the car also knew about Liu Zhizhi. Some of them had heard Qian Wenzhi talk about Liu Zhizhi before, and they praised Liu Zhizhi very much and Qian Wenzhi could praise him. These people knew

, this Liu Zhizhi should have two brushes. Although Qian Wenzhi often supports young people, Liu Zhizhi is the first person to receive such praise from him. There are still a few people to pick up in the car, so everyone started chatting.

When Qian Wenzhi saw Liu Zhizhi carrying an exquisite basket, he couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Xiao Liu, what is in this basket? Is it one of the four treasures of the study?"

"Mr. Qian is joking, but that's not the case. I have an elder in Yushan, Changshu, whom I haven't seen for many years. This is a gift for him." Liu Zhizhi didn't hide it either.

"What could be inside such an exquisite basket? Is it cakes and fruits? Or nutritional supplements?" Qian Wenzhi guessed that baskets were often used as food boxes in ancient times, so guessing the food was not a bad idea in theory.

However, Liu Zhizhi borrowed the form of a food box to store the jade carvings because it was difficult to carry them around, which led others astray.

Liu Zhizhi was a little embarrassed and said, "The basket is supposed to contain food, but my gift was not easy to carry, so I forced it into the basket, which made Mr. Qian misunderstood."

Everyone was even more curious, what was it if it wasn't food? Everyone looked at the basket. Qian Wenzhi was also very curious. When he saw Liu Zhizhi's basket placed at his feet, he reached out to pick it up. Unexpectedly, it was very heavy and he almost broke his waist.

Liu Zhizhi quickly stretched out his hand to support Qian Wenzhi: "Mr. Qian, be careful, this thing is very heavy."

"Xiao Liu, don't be too pretentious, what's in this?" Qian Wenzhi finally couldn't help it anymore and said.

When Liu Zhizhi heard what Qian Wenzhi said, he picked up the basket and placed it on his lap very easily. He opened the lid of the box and found something wrapped in velvet, surrounded by some cushion-filled rags and silk cotton.

Something like that. Liu Zhizhi untied the flannel and everyone saw clearly. It turned out to be a jade carving. When everyone saw the jade carving, the carriage became silent for a while. Everyone couldn't help but feel a moment of tranquility in their hearts. They only heard

The low sound of a car engine.

"Whose craftsmanship is this good thing?" Qian Wenzhi asked. He did not think of Liu Zhizhi, thinking that Liu Zhizhi asked someone to order it. The work naturally made people feel natural and peaceful. Although Qian Wenzhi and everyone in the car were not

He is a jade carver, but as a calligrapher, he still has this aesthetic vision. Liu Zhizhi’s work is not a modern Western art, but is in line with the traditional Chinese aesthetic view and the aesthetic cultivated by calligraphy in the car.

View.

"I carved it," Liu Zhizhi said naturally.

"You can carve jade?" Qian Wenzhi didn't expect it and was very surprised.

"Master Luo Huang is my teacher." Liu Zhizhi didn't say much, this sentence was enough.

"Luo Huang is your teacher? How come we haven't heard of your name?" Some people were surprised. Luo Huang has several disciples who are basically famous in the jade carving world. Although everyone is in the calligraphy world, they also know some things in the jade carving world.

After all, jade is more valued than ordinary jewelry in Chinese civilization. A gentleman is more virtuous than jade. This Confucian saying can well explain the position of jade in the hearts of Chinese people.

"I am different from my senior brothers. They make a living by carving jade. I am just a hobby of my own. I don't make a living from it. I rarely have any works floating around. Therefore, except for a few of my teachers, most people don't know about me.

." Liu Zhizhi explained.

"Xiao Liu, you are indeed a formidable person." Qian Wenzhi said.

"Mr. Qian, you think too highly of me. There is no contradiction between jade carving and calligraphy. They are interconnected. When I study, they promote each other. For calligraphy, it broadens my horizons." Liu Zhizhi said.

"Sure enough, Kungfu lies outside the book!" Qian Wenzhi sighed with emotion.

Liu Zhizhi reinstalled the jade, stopped the car several times, picked up people, and then drove all the way to Changshu.

However, less than two hours away, when I arrived in Changshu, I was not staying in the city, but in a resort and leisure village in Yushan Mountain, close to Xingfu Temple, an ancient temple in Qiliang. Members of the Changshu Calligraphy Association were already waiting for me.

.

When the car arrived, it was less than 12 noon, and the Changshu Calligraphy Association warmly greeted us. The banquet had already been prepared, all of which were Changshu’s local specialties, such as beggar’s chicken, asparagus bamboo shoots in white sauce, hot pot chicken, clear soup to remove lungs, and hibiscus.

Crab fighting, duck off the bone, pine grass oil, eel paste with oil, tofu soup with oil, etc. After the meal, everyone took a rest for a while and started to communicate. Many people spent money on the spot, except leaving some for the organizer.

They also donated some words to each other. Liu Zhizhi was not unconventional and wrote a lot of words. Of course, he also received a lot of words. It was Liu Zhizhi’s first time to participate, but his book**

He has a very solid background, and as he is a practitioner, his words have a kind of free and easy character, which gradually becomes one. Everyone thinks highly of Liu Zhizhi.

We didn't go out to play in the afternoon. The Changshu Calligraphy Association had made arrangements for everyone to catch up on the journey and have some exchanges with each other on the first day. No play was arranged to let everyone take a rest. Tomorrow, we will officially arrange for everyone to visit different scenic spots.

The entire afternoon was spent in this atmosphere of communication. After the dinner, the organizer asked everyone to take a rest early and recuperate. Tomorrow's day of playing will be very tiring.

Everyone took a shower, chatted with each other for a while, and then went back to the room to rest early. Most of the calligraphers who came here were in their early fifties and their energy was no longer as good as the young people. Liu Zhizhi did not stand out and went back to the room early.

Take a break.

When Liu Zhizhi returned to the room, there was one more thing to do, which was to find Ge Miao. That is to say, Liu Zhizhi did not know where the senior who came to visit this time lived. Liu Zhizhi only knew that the senior who came to visit this time lived in Yushan, but the specific location was

He doesn't know where it is. Yushan is not big or small. There is a local saying that "half of the green hills of ten miles reach the city."

If you use ordinary methods and don't know the other party's exact address, you may not be able to find it even if you give it a week.

Liu Zhizhi is not worried, he has his own method. He rests early, not really resting, but preparing to look for Ge Miao in a trance. In the eyes of the Yin God, practitioners are easier to spot than the naked eye. The Yin God can see clearly in the air.

In the situation of mountains and rivers, practitioners have their own spiritual light, which is much more powerful than ordinary people. In the dark night, especially at night, when there are few people in the mountains and there is little interference, the deeper the other party's cultivation level, the more like a bright candle. A true practitioner, if

In the state of power, communicating with the heaven and earth, in the eyes of the Yin God, a large ray of light will even appear through the room, which can be seen miles away.

Liu Zhizhi lay on the bed and covered himself with a blanket. Although it was summer, there was air conditioning in the room. In addition, the temperature in the mountains was lower than that in the city, so it was still cooler. He simply did some early warning measures around the bed, closed his eyes, and it seemed that
