Chapter 3 The third chapter makes people not confused and worried

The expressions of the three Wei family children in the open space of the ancestral hall changed drastically.These four pen spirits appeared extremely abruptly, without any warning signs in advance, obviously they had planned it long ago.Before they had any reaction, another six figures jumped into the open space, each of them was tall and tall, with dark blue complexions. "Sanzhuo Pen Boy of the Zhuge Family!" Wei Shiqing was the quickest to react. He stretched out his hands and shouted angrily.The Lingyun pen came out in response, and a violent storm was set off on the ground, and sand and stones flew outside the ancestral hall for a while, making people almost blind.The few pen boys were swayed by the strong wind, Wei Shiqing shouted: "Caichen, come on!"

The pen official named Wei Caichen waved against the wind, and there was a white stick in his hand for no reason.This stick is extremely straight and long, and it is pure white without any blemishes or knots on it, it is extremely powerful.Wei Caichen held the stick with both hands, his eyes were wide open, and he used the most popular Taizu stick method in this dynasty.There was a pen boy who was already unable to stand still due to the strong wind, but was suddenly hit by a Shangluo stick in both legs, making the sound of "cracking" bamboo bursting, his legs were broken, and he fell to the ground immediately.

"What a good Shangluo pen!" Lu You couldn't help but praise. The owner of the Shangluo pen is Wang Yucheng, a famous scholar in the early Song Dynasty.He pioneered the reform of poetry in the Song Dynasty. He was famous for his straight and concise writing style, and was praised by Su Shi as "Xiongwenzhidao".It's a pity that compared with the masters of the past, Wang Yu said that his talents and learning are limited. The Shangluo brush he refined can only be bent and bent, and turned into a straight stick that can be long or short, which has become a rare melee weapon among pen spirits.

I saw that Shangluo stick dancing into a ball in the strong wind, the stick technique was proficient and sharp, the remaining five pen boys could only barely deal with it, and soon another one was swept down with a stick. The black shadow on the northeast corner of the wall sneered: "It turned out to be Lingyun Bi and Shangluo Bi. It seems that the Wei family came to you today." Wei Shiqing's face froze, these six pen boys were only used by the enemy to test the truth.The Wei family and the Zhuge family have been fighting for so many years, and they know each other's pen spirit very well. Whoever can judge the truth first will have the tactical advantage.Now that the two pens of one's own side have revealed their identities, but the strength of the other side is still unknown, this battle is a bit difficult to fight.

After all, Wei Shiqing was an old Jianghu, he licked his lips, and fanned the strong wind to turn rapidly around the ancestral hall.Those four people were obviously very afraid of his Lingyun brush, they never dared to jump into the open space, this is an opportunity.He knew that the pen boy must have spiritual threads connected to the controller, and when he glanced at it, he found that the spiritual threads of those pen boys were all connected to the black shadow in the northeast corner - this black shadow was obviously controlling the six Pen boy. "As long as you knock him down, the enemy will have no advantage!" Wei Shiqing thought to himself, raised his eyebrows, and shouted in a low voice: "Wei Caichen, Northeast!" After speaking, a fierce gale swept across the wall.Without further ado, Wei Caichen propped himself up on the ground with a Shangluo stick, and took advantage of the wind to jump towards the northeast wall.

As if they had already calculated their reactions, Zhuge's pen spirit with four tubes hanging in mid-air began to move.Wei Caichen rushed up to the wall, exerted all his strength, and smashed it hard on the head, the black shadow actually shattered into countless drops of water and disappeared without a trace. "It's a phantom!" This shot missed, Wei Caichen had nowhere to rely on the air, so he jumped back to the open space again.As soon as he landed, he found that the bluestone slab he was stepping on had become as soft as porridge, as if it had turned into a piece of stone liquid, and his legs were mired in mud.Wei Caichen was taken aback, and wanted to pull his leg out of the blue stone, but the stone slab suddenly recovered its hardness, wrapping him in the stone forcibly, unable to move.

"Uncle!" Wei Shiqing didn't wait for Wei Caichen to call for help, and already made moves with both hands.The wind turned into a whirlwind, and condensed into two small conical whirlwinds that rotated rapidly, drilling desperately towards the cracks in the stone slab, trying to pry the entire slate open. At this moment, two small locks that were almost transparent and invisible approached him silently from behind. They moved very slowly without any fluctuations.Wei Shiqing wanted to get Wei Caichen out with all his heart, but at the same time he had to disperse his energy to control the wind, so he didn't have time to observe his surroundings.

By the time Wei Shiqing realized something was wrong, it was already too late, the two small locks flickered, and they had already locked two of his nerves.A sharp pain hit his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a scream, his consciousness was in turmoil, and the original fierce situation suddenly faded away.Several pen boys who had been suppressed by the wind were released and rushed towards Wei Caichen together.Wei Caichen couldn't move his legs, so he had to rely on the Shangluo stick to resist, but in the end he was outnumbered, and it was only a matter of time before he was knocked down.

"It's actually a rare pen." Lu You raised his brows, it seems that this time both the Wei family and the Zhuge family have dispatched good hands.However, the Zhuge family obviously needs to be more well-trained. The four pen officials cooperated tacitly and advanced and retreated properly. One is responsible for controlling the attack of the pen boy, one is responsible for creating phantom cover, one is fossilized as mud, and the other is creating pain.The entire attack method is like flowing clouds and flowing water, interlocking.Lu You intensively studied the pen array, and at a glance, he could see that the formation of these four people was not bad.

At this time, Shangluo Bi was trapped in the stone, Ling Yun Bi could not be used because of Wei Shiqing's confusion, and the other person was missing.The overall situation has been decided, and the four writers of Zhuge's family jumped into the ancestral hall leisurely. The leader smiled and said to Wei Shiqing who was paralyzed on the ground, "Shiqing, I never thought you would fall into my hands this time." He raised his finger, and Wei Shiqing's pain increased again. Beads of sweat flowed down his forehead. Wei Shiqing yelled angrily: "Zhuge Zongzheng, you can only use tricks! If you have the ability to challenge me head-on, you despicable villain!"

Zhuge Zongzheng said leisurely: "What is this despicable, my Unicorn brush is better than your Lingyun brush, this time you are considered white..." In the middle of speaking, Zhuge Zongzheng's face suddenly changed, his muscles twisted a bit, and he said to the three people behind him in a strange voice: "You three, leave the ancestral hall quickly!" The three Zhuge family disciples behind him were puzzled , obviously the scene is great, why do you want to leave? "Let's go! Otherwise, the family law will serve you!" Zhuge Zongzheng shouted angrily, his face getting weirder.The Zhuge family's family law was strict, and the three Zhuge family disciples didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they turned around and were about to leave.But one of the disciples looked back before leaving, and found that Zhuge Zong was holding his throat with one hand, making a lotus sound, while shaking his hand desperately at himself, feeling very suspicious.He hurriedly called the other two disciples to stop, and turned around to look. But Zhuge Zongzheng kept yelling: "If you don't leave, it will be too late!" His right hand grabbed a disciple's sleeve, his eyes were urgent, and his trembling fingers scratched back and forth on the clothes. The child of the Zhuge family who was in charge of controlling the pen boy was the most thoughtful, he frowned and said, "Uncle Zongzheng seems to have something to say, get the ink quickly!" The other two quickly fetched the ink.Zhuge Zongzheng couldn't wait to dip his finger in the ink, and wrote a few words on his sleeve in a fluttering motion. When he finished writing, the three disciples looked at it, and it turned out to be the words "Su Li no doubt".The three of them had no further objections, and got up to leave.Zhuge Zongzheng saw these four words, his eyes were red, he grabbed the sleeve of one person, and wrote a few more words with a wave of his finger: "Don't worry about me." Zhuge Zongzheng was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood, but said in his mouth: "You don't go away anymore , otherwise we will all die here!" The three disciples of Zhuge's family were still suspicious, and the wind in the open space of the ancestral hall suddenly picked up again.Wei Shiqing's voice came along with the wind: "You brats! Die!" A hundred-foot-long tornado rises from the ground, and the majestic and powerful wind like a Han Fu fills the entire ancestral hall in an instant.Sima Xiangru's Lingyun pen spirit is known as the hero of the pen, extremely majestic, and few people can confront it head-on.Just now Zhuge's family outraged the widowed by the crowd, so they didn't dare to lift Lingyun's pen head-on, and they dared not jump down from the ancestral hall until the owner of the pen was restrained.At this time, Wei Shiqing took advantage of Zhuge Zong's distraction, got rid of the shackles of the rare pen, and attacked directly with anger, its power can be imagined. The bodies of the three disciples and Zhuge Zongzheng were blown high by the wind from the Lingyun brush, circled several times in the air, and then slammed into the gable of the ancestral hall. A pale young man stood up from behind the stone tablet of the ancestral hall, above his head, a pale yellow writing brush was silently suspended in mid-air. "Hey, the boy of the Wei family who uses a regular pen, the timing is really good!" Lu You couldn't help admiring. He saw that Zhu Xi was still puzzled, so he explained to him: "Orthodox pens can only control other people's voice and writing, and their value in battle is very limited. But this boy is at a disadvantage on our side. When Zhuge Zong was disturbed, his control was greatly weakened, and Wei Shiqing was able to get rid of the front of the Rare Pen. Opportunity to attack—no one can stand up to Lingyun Pen.” Zhu Xidao: "This child's orthodox pen is just for him. What if he reaches the realm of the gods?" Lu You said: "I really don't know about this. No one has really understood this pen since it was refined, so the Wei family will safely throw it to the children of the family." Zhu Xi flashed a trace of sarcasm, thinking to himself: "Of course, who is worthy of this Confucian master?" The fighting in the shrine continues.With one blow, Wei Shiqing succeeded, and immediately lifted the bluestone slabs that restrained Wei Caichen with strong wind.Once Wei Caichen's legs were freed, he chased and beat the Shangluo sticks in his hand, knocking down those pen boys who lost control, and then swung his sticks at the four Zhuge family pen officials. Wang Yu said how upright and upright he was, and the stick he turned into was extremely hard.The four of them had just been hit by the Lingyun pen against the wall, before recovering their spirits, they were hit by the Shangluo stick again, and in the blink of an eye, two disciples had their arms broken.They were determined to control the pen spirit to resist, but Wei Caichen's stick technique was too fast, like a storm.Originally, they stood on the top of the wall, relying on pen holders to separate them from each other, so they could take advantage, but once they fell into hand-to-hand combat, their disadvantages suddenly appeared.Spots of blood splashed out in the stick dance. Zhuge Zong was furious, he gritted his teeth, locked his pain sensation with the Unicorn Pen, and stood up desperately against the stick rain, with a strange light blooming all over his body. Say hello.Wei Caichen was resolute by nature, let these rare locks tease his five senses, supported him with one breath, and was even more merciless when he hit the stick.Both of them were red-eyed, completely ignoring themselves, just bombarding each other frantically.Zhuge Zongzheng's pen spirit slowly began to degenerate into many scales. Lu You, who was watching from a distance, saw this scene, got up suddenly, and said angrily: "Oops, these boys are playing for real, how can they go so far!" Although the Zhuge family and the Wei family are not used to each other, they belong to the same family after all.Therefore, although the two families are intriguing with each other, they seldom have life lawsuits.As for the move that Zhuge Zongfang is going to use right now, Lu You knows that it is the most dangerous move in Linjiao's pen. Once it is used, there will be no enemy or enemy within a radius of several tens of meters, and all five senses will be destroyed by the small lock decomposed by Linjiao. Waiting for it to die together. "These bastards, why are they attacking so hard as if they have met their enemies?" Lu You cursed, and said to Zhu Xi: "You watch here first, I have to go and teach them a lesson. Otherwise, people will die, and the world will be destroyed for nothing. There are a few more wild brushes with nowhere to rely on." Zhu Xi stood up slowly, but his eyes became sharp: "Leave the work of enlightenment to me." "What?" Before Lu You could react, Zhu Xi had already waved his sleeves, and he flew over like a big bird. In the ancestral hall, the officials of the Zhuge family and the Wei family were fighting to the death. Suddenly, it was as if a huge curtain was lowered all around, and everyone was plunged into darkness.They were stunned to find that the world around them seemed to be slowing down, and the whole person entered a mysterious state, unable to see, speak, or hear. Only a very loud voice sounded, as if descending from the sky: "The gentleman said respectfully. No loss, be respectful and courteous to others. The use of etiquette, peace is the most precious. Isn't this kind of brave and fierce fight against the way of saints?" In normal times, these pen officials would only find it ridiculous when they heard such teachings.But now they are in the boundless darkness, their mentality is greatly shaken, but they feel that this is really a clear statement, which directly shakes their hearts, and their fighting spirit is like white snow in boiling soup, all of which melt away, leaving only warmth Hehe atmosphere like golden light.They feel their bodies soften and their spirits completely relaxed. "Everyone has two minds, the human mind and the Dao mind. What is reasonable is the principle of heaven and the mind of Dao, and what is partial to human desires is human desire and human mind. What you have done is nothing but a wrong way; all kinds of pen spirits are human desires. So you should It is the right way to destroy human desires and restore the principles of heaven." Zhu Xi deliberately modified the rules in the domain into a state of silent suspension.In this state, people lose all five senses and have no body to rely on, so they often have incomparable trust in the only sound that appears. The seven people were suspended in the field, Zhu Xi raised his head and observed them one by one.What caught his attention the most was that young man from the Wei family—to be precise, it was the orthodox pen that the young man was carrying. That is Yan Shigu!That Yan Shigu who determined the Five Classics and wrote "Five Rites"!As early as his youth, Zhu Xi read many of his works with reverence, from which he experienced the true way of heaven and human relations, and was infinitely close to the inner world of Confucius. But now, the soul of this Confucian master is imprisoned in such a ridiculous pen spirit, and is taken over by ignorant teenagers like a toy to play with. "When we don't even respect our ancestors, how can we abstain from self-restraint and revive the sacred teachings?" Zhu Xi yelled loudly at the seven people in the darkness, all of them turned blue and their bodies were on the verge of falling, even their pen spirits were dimmed. "Hey, it's almost ready." A hand rested on Zhu Xi's shoulder.With a thought in Zhu Xi's mind, the entire field was immediately taken back into the Ziyang brush, and the seven people sat on the ground in a daze, their eyes blank. Lu You said to Zhu Xi with some dissatisfaction: "Just persuade them to leave, why talk so much." He felt that Zhu Xi's actions were a bit too much, which reminded him of the scene where Zhang Jiao, the "great virtuous teacher", bewitched the Yellow Turban Army. Zhu Xi said lightly: "Always let them know what is called the law of heaven." Lu You said angrily: "Okay, okay, you're doing it again. You haven't argued enough with my two brothers, have you?" After speaking, Lu You walked over and pulled Wei Shiqing and Zhuge Zongzheng away. Get up and instill two spiritual energy into them.The two of them were shocked, and then they woke up. "Lord Lu?" The two shouted in unison.Although Lu You is not a member of Wei family and Zhuge family, he is quite favored by the master of the Bi Tomb, and he has frequent contacts with these two families on weekdays. Lu You clasped his hands on his chest, stared at the two juniors and frowned, "What are you guys thinking? Do you think that there are too many Zhuge and Wei families?" Wei Shiqing and Zhuge Zongzheng stared at each other, and said at the same time, "It's their fault!" Lu You stretched out his fist, gouged one of them hard on the head, and cursed: "You two are over forty, and you are still so childish!" He pointed at Zhuge Zongzheng: "You tell me first." Facing Lu You, Zhuge Zongzheng didn't dare to breathe, and replied respectfully: "A few days ago, someone from my family was traveling around Suyang, and suddenly saw a spirit beast. A writing brush once entered Suyang City, and disappeared without a trace. You know, it is very important for a spirit beast to hold a brush. Naturally, my family attaches great importance to it, so I sent me and three children to investigate in Suyang first. Come." "The spirit beast holds the writing brush? Are you sure?" Lu You's pupils suddenly dilated. Zhuge Zongzheng glanced at Wei Shiqing, and said, "There were also witnesses from their Wei family at the time. Of course, they overheard information about my family first, and then went to confirm it." When Wei Shiqing heard this, he flew into a rage, and the two of them were about to quarrel again, but they were beaten by Lu You one by one, so they dared not say anything more.This incident seems to have been witnessed by people from both families, basically ruling out the possibility of forgery. Lu You stroked his gray beard, his expression became serious.This matter is strange, Bi Ling has always been alone, rarely accompanied by other things.Now there is a spirit beast holding a pen. You must know that the spirit beast is not actually a beast, it is the same as the pen spirit, it is also transformed by aura.It's just that the pen spirit is derived from the talents of human beings, while the spirit beast is mostly formed by the accidental condensation of natural aura in the world, and it is not likely to be encountered once in hundreds of years.The spirit beast holds the pen spirit in its mouth, which means that the power of the pen spirit itself is probably too strong, overflowing to form a pen spirit beast, so this spirit beast is inseparable from the pen. The power is so powerful that it can give birth to spirit beasts, so one can imagine how precious and rare that pen spirit is. No wonder the Zhuge family and Wei family tried their best to get it. What is the origin of the pen spirit favored by the spirit beast? Presumably only the owner of the pen mound can find out—but he has closed the mound now, so he has no way to ask.It seems that I have to accept this spirit first, and then make plans.Lu You has always been obsessed with pens, but now when he thinks of encountering this mysterious pen spirit that has never been seen before, his whole body becomes excited and full of anticipation. "You said, is this spirit beast in this ancestral hall?" Lu You asked. "Exactly, I have repeatedly inspected it with the ink inkstone, and the entire Suyang City belongs to this ancestral hall with the most aura." Wei Shiqing took out the inkstone, and the ink on it was gathered into a ball, which was the extreme concentration. Lu You nodded in satisfaction: "Well, not bad. The ancient inkstone is slightly concave and has a lot of ink." Zhuge Zongzheng knew that this was a poem written by Lu You himself, so he quickly complimented: "Master Lu's poem really fits the real scene." Lu You patted him on the shoulder, proudly said: "Your flattery is a bit obvious, but I like it." "Excuse me, what kind of brush did Master Lu use to stop us just now?" Zhuge Zongzheng asked respectfully, he still remembered the wonderful domain and voice just now, and he had never experienced this kind of shock. . Lu You chuckled, pointed to Zhu Xi who was standing beside him and said, "This is a friend of mine, he was the one who made the move just now." Zhuge Zongzheng and Wei Shiqing saw that this middle-aged man was not amazing in appearance, but he was so skillful, they both admired him very much, and stepped forward to salute one by one. Lu You said: "Don't underestimate him, his pen spirit was cultivated by himself." "Spirit of refining the pen?!" Wei Shiqing was extremely astonished, and couldn't help but wonder: "The spirit of the pen is formed by the human heart. Could it be said that the master can use two things at once?" Zhu Xidao: "I told you just now. Everyone has the mind of the Tao and the heart. Those who pursue the way of heaven are the mind of the Tao; those who pursue the way of greed are the mind of man. I am determined to the Tao and eliminate desires. Yes, it contains my Dao heart of seeking to prove the Dao with all my heart.” The two said in unison: "This method of refining the pen is really admirable. Mr. Wu is extremely brilliant." Zhu Xi said in a deep voice: "The truth I told you just now is not the method of the skill of the brush, but the ultimate truth. Don't forget it." The two nodded in agreement. Lu You was afraid that Zhu Xi would be talking again, so he wanted to quickly find something else to talk about, when he suddenly found him standing next to the young man with a regular pen, he smiled and said, "Old Zhu, this trip is so lively, we have to mix it up .Since you care so much about Zhengsu pens, the child will be taken care of by you when we put away the pens later." Zhu Xi said "Oh" and said nothing more, just put his right hand on his shoulder.Standing beside the poor Wei family boy, Zhu Xi felt that the coercion was too great, his face showed fear, but he didn't dare to move. After making arrangements for Zhu Xi, Lu You walked to the gate of the ancestral hall, walked back and forth for a few steps, observed it, and said, "The spirit of the pen is guarded by spirit beasts, so it is difficult to put it away. I came out in a hurry this time, and only carried a I got the Congrong pen. You lend me all the spirits of the pens, and I will set up a pen formation."
