Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 2 [Town]

The sun shines on the eaves.

A ray of morning sun came through the window and gently pressed on the corner of the desk.

Holding the pen in one hand, Qi Xiu, with a calm expression, pointed the tip of the pen, and outlined one stroke, and the flowing fonts appeared on the paper.

This word is thick and full.

It has a mysterious ancient charm.

It is different from all existing calligraphy styles.

That is the word "town".

Written in seamless handwriting, a ray of golden light suddenly lit up on Qi Xiu's fingertips, penetrating into the words like a dragon playing with a phoenix.

creak-

Golden light entered the words, and the paper carrying the writing suddenly sank.

Picking up the ink paper on the table, Qi Xiu looked stunned.

It's so heavy. This piece of paper probably weighs one or two less.

With a thought, ink marks surged in the void.

[Calligraphy (One Realm): 0.2%]

[Cooking skills: 7.6%]

After his calligraphy was upgraded to the first level, his calligraphy attainments not only improved qualitatively, but he also gained a lot of ancient knowledge in his mind.

"Yunzhuan is an innate text that contains the essence of heaven and earth and the principles of truth in legend.

This kind of innate astronomy has special magical blessings.

It is completely different from ordinary text. "

Staring at the Yunzhuan script with majestic and majestic fonts on the paper, relevant knowledge automatically appeared in Qi Xiu's mind.

The word "town" is written in seal script.

It means guarding and suppressing.

Feedback based on the knowledge in your mind.

It can protect the mind and even... suppress demons.

"It seems that there are no news about monsters and monsters in this world." Qi Xiu squinted his eyes while biting the tip of his pen.

From a systematic point of view, Yunzhuan should be the talisman used by those monastic alchemists.

It's just that my Yunzhuan script is slightly different from the Taoist priest's talismans.

There is no need to set up the altar to perform the ritual or step on the cloth.

Instead, it is blessed with mindfulness and righteous thoughts, giving it magical powers.

Different paths leading to the same destination should be considered a kind of thing.

"How about I start another business in the future, painting charms for people's houses?"

Looking at the character [Town] on the table, Qi Xiu's heart moved.

Business is hard and life is hard.

Now that he has an additional skill, he is also thinking about how to monetize it.

"It's just empty talk, who would believe in the effectiveness of my Yunzhuan script?"

After thinking hard for a long time, Qi Xiu finally came back to his senses until his stomach growled in protest.

After writing all night, he was now short of food and water.

When this hunger comes up, I feel dizzy.

The station is a little unstable.

I took out the egg buns sent by Qiao Xuaner's mother yesterday from the kitchen and simmered them on the stove.
After eating the steamed buns and eggs, Qi Xiu's stomach felt warmer, and his sluggish face looked better.

"There is no need to rush the matter of Yunzhuan. When the progress of calligraphy improves and I can learn more Yunzhuan, the effect may be more obvious by then."

After living alone in a strange world for more than two years, Qi Xiu's originally impetuous character has become much more stable and mature.

I got a basin of hot water and washed my face.

Qi Xiu, who felt much more energetic, buttoned up his cotton robe, packed up his pen, ink and inkstone and other people who were eating, put on his scarf and went out.

He has a stall outside Danqing Pavilion in Ximen Neighborhood City.

Now is the end of the year.

There are many people writing Spring Festival couplets and letters home, and business is good.

So even if he didn't sleep all night last night, he didn't bother to catch up on sleep.

I rushed here early and waited for the guests to arrive.

It snowed heavily all day and night.

Ximen Neighborhood Market has also become covered with silver under the white snow.

Stepping on the snow that is deep and shallow.

Qi Xiu finally arrived at the stall.

Two large piles of snow almost buried his stall.

Seeing the old gods on both sides of his colleagues, who looked like they had nothing to do with him, Qi Xiu tightened his grip on his schoolbag and puffed his cheeks slightly.

If it weren't for my own unsatisfactory body.

He really wanted to pull out the wooden stick under the stall and beat these two wicked and smoking bastards hard!
"Hey, Mr. Qi, I'm here early today." Yu Sansuo said hello to Qi Xiu with a smile on his sleeves.

Colleagues are enemies.

Together they set up a stall in front of Danqing Pavilion.

Whoever has a good business will naturally become a thorn in the side of his peers.

It's just that the ghostwriters in this row are all weak-minded scholars.

Real swords and guns cannot come.

On weekdays, I can only use trivial tricks, which are disgusting and disgusting.

"Looking at the look on Mr. Qi's face, I'm afraid he didn't sleep last night. Could it be that he was invited by some girl to spend the night together?"

Liu Chunlai on the other side also smiled and teased.

He silently put down his schoolbag and took the large broom from the side. Suppressing the anger in his heart, Qi Xiu said calmly:
"Thank you both for your concern. Last night, Qi was suddenly inspired and gained a lot of insights into the art of calligraphy.

I wrote it down overnight and lost track of time. "

"Writing all night?"

After hearing Qi Xiu's answer, Yu Sansuo and Liu Chunlai looked at each other, feeling wary.

Qi Xiu's calligraphy skills are not much different from the two of them.

On weekdays, the three people's business is almost equally divided.

But if Qi Xiu's calligraphy skills really improved, he would definitely surpass the two of them.

Maybe he will be favored by the Danqing Pavilion behind him.

"The art of calligraphy lies in accumulation over time and step by step. Mr. Qi said that he has gained a lot of insights into the art of calligraphy. I wonder if he can write it down so that we can see it." Wanting to find out whether Qi Xiu's words were true or not, Yu Sansuo squinted. Said with a smile.

I heard that Yu Sansuo wanted to see his calligraphy skills.

Qi Xiu couldn't help but feel angry for no reason, and the clay figurine still had a bad temper.

Because he is young and has no family to rely on, he is usually squeezed out by the two of them.

Since you want to see it, someone like Qi will make it happen for you.

After clearing away the snow beside the stall, Qi Xiu took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed it on the stall table, poured ink paste, took out the brush, dipped it in ink and licked the pen.

Holding the penholder in hand, Qi Xiu concentrated on writing.

hiss!
When Qi Xiu started writing, the expressions of Yu and Liu changed slightly.

The so-called experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the excitement.

They are both people who have been working on calligraphy for more than ten years, and they both have some skills.

As soon as Qi Xiu started writing, both of them noticed a big difference in his posture and charm.

Calm and relaxed.

It's a completely different person from before.

Damn it, this guy didn't lie.

Seeing that Qi Xiu had really made a breakthrough in calligraphy, Yu and Liu felt a little nervous.

The brush danced on the paper, leaving smooth and powerful handwriting in the blank spaces.

Every stroke demonstrates Qi Xiu's precise control over the structure of fonts and the beauty of strokes.

Two lines and seven words flowed by.

"You two, please feel free to teach me."

Qi Xiu stepped aside and allowed Yu and Liu to come closer and watch.

I saw fourteen large Chinese characters written on the slightly yellow Badu paper.

Everlasting hatred is worse than water,
Wait for the flat ground to make waves.

"You..." After seeing the two lines of poetry, Yu and Liu looked ugly for a while.

Qi Xiu was clearly scolding the two of them in a roundabout way.

However, after the anger passed, the two also discovered that Qi Xiu's calligraphy skills had indeed undergone earth-shaking changes.

These two poems only have 14 words.

But the strokes flow continuously, the ink is rich and full of tension, as if it can penetrate the paper and reach people's hearts.

The whole character exudes a sense of freedom and majesty.

Unknowingly, Yu and Liu both looked in and couldn't move their eyes away for a long time.

"The writing is really good. Did you write it?"

There was a soft voice of praise in his ears, and Qi Xiu turned around.

A man of about 30 years old, wearing a dark blue silk robe and fox fur, with a face like a crown jade and an elegant expression, stood behind the three people.

"Boss Qian."

Qi Xiu slightly arched his hands.

The man in front of him is the boss of Danqing Pavilion.

One of the four rich families in Baohe County, the third son of the Qian family, Qian Yuze.

Walking down the steps, Qian Yuze came to Qi Xiu's stall.

Seeing the big boss coming, Yu Sansuo and Liu Chunlai quickly got out of the way and gave their place to Qian Yuze with a smile.

"The writing is very good, the writing is smooth and has an ancient style.

It's really good to have such accomplishments at such a young age. "

After reading Qi Xiu's words, Qian Yuze was not shy about praising him.

He himself loves calligraphy and painting.

In his opinion, Qi Xiu's calligraphy has become more sophisticated, his character is getting fuller, and his writing power is strong.

Given time, there will definitely be a chance to become everyone on one side.

"Boss Qian is so complimentary."

Hearing Qian Yuze's praise, Qi Xiu felt much lighter.

Now he has to rely on Danqing Pavilion to make a living and attract Qian Yuze's attention.

The days to come will be easier.

"The New Year is approaching, and my family is short of a few people who can write wedding couplets. If you have time, you can come and give it a try. I won't treat you badly with the editing fee."

When they heard Qian Yuze inviting Qi Xiu to his house, Yu Sansuo and Liu Chunlai's eyes turned red.

The Qian family is a well-known large family in Baohe County.

Even if there is a little leakage between the fingers, it will be enough for them to eat for several years.

What's more, being invited to the Qian Mansion means that he has been appreciated by Qian Yuze, and will probably be admitted to the Danqing Pavilion.

No more struggling to set up a stall on the street.

This guy's luck is so good!
Staring at Qi Xiu with envy, jealousy and hatred, Yu and Liu looked like they wanted to eat him alive.

"Boss Qian invited me, how dare Xiu refuse." Qi Xiu smiled and held his hand.

Yes, I can have a good year this year.

Nodding, Qian Yuze picked up the ink paper on the table:

"Give me this calligraphy. You'll be waiting here tomorrow at midnight. I'll send someone to pick you up and take you to my house."

After a few words of explanation, Qian Yuze rolled up the paper and Shi Shiran left.

"Mr. Qi, congratulations. You are appreciated by the boss Qian. You will definitely become rich and powerful in the future. Don't forget to look after me and my colleagues when the time comes."

Yu Sansuo came up with a shy face, a smile on his face.

I can't see the sarcastic and sarcastic look from 10 minutes ago.

"Yes, yes, we have been working together for more than a year." Liu Chunlai also supported him.

"It's easy to talk about. Since Qi came here to make a living, the two of you have taken great care of me. Qi will never forget it.

I will definitely repay this kindness to you two times. "

Qi Xiu smiled kindly, packed up his things and left.

it's over...

Recalling Qi Xiu's smile just now, Yu and Liu looked at each other with stiff expressions.

Otherwise, let's find another way to make a living.
