Chapter 185: An Inkstone Full of Righteousness (Part 1)
After reading the text left by Wen Tianxiang, Mr. Wang's expression became even more excited. If the words of Xie Fangde before were only possible, the inscription left by Wen Tianxiang now shows that this inkstone is truly the righteous inkstone of Yue Fei that has disappeared for more than ten years.
Yue Fei’s righteous inkstone has Yue Fei’s eight-character inkstone. The inkstone inkstone shows Yue Fei’s ambitions and will not change his moral integrity due to the environment.
The reason why this inkstone has great reputation in China is not just Yue Fei's hand-written inkstone. The inkstone engraved by Xie Fangde and Wen Tianxiang makes this inkstone a world-famous and righteous inkstone.
Yue Fei, Xie Fangde, Wen Tianxiang, these three are all national heroes who are enchanting. The beliefs in their hearts will never change in the slightest because of anything.
After Yue Fei was killed by Qin Hui and others on false charges, this inkstone was repeatedly turned and obtained by the patriotic poet Xie Fangde. After the Yuan Dynasty unified China, he sent several missions to surrender Xie Fangde several times, but Xie Fangde refused, and wrote a letter of employment. All of them died, either more important than Mount Tai or less than a feather. If I were forced to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, I would die and never lose my ambition.
During his lifetime, Xie Fangde gave this precious inkstone to his friend Wen Tianxiang. After Wen Tianxiang got the inkstone, he engraved a paragraph of text to express his ambitions.
All three of them gave their precious lives for the survival of the country, defended their beliefs with their lives, and wrote the most beautiful song of righteousness in the world.
This inkstone disappeared after Wen Tianxiang became an immortal. Later, it was obtained by Wu Lu, the top scholar of the Qing Dynasty, and thus changed his hall name Sutang to Zhengqi Yanzhai.
Later, after Wu Lu's mother passed away, some friends came to visit him. One of Wu Lu's student Xu Shiying was the ambassador to the small island country at that time, and two small island country followers. Since Xu Shiying was a favorite student of Wu Lu, he opened the door of convenience to let him watch his home collection.
It was only after these people left that Wu Lu discovered that the righteous inkstone disappeared, and then quickly sent one of his sons to search for the small island country. After more than a month of searching, he finally recovered the inkstone from the small island country Dongdu.
However, during that decade of turmoil, the Wu family was affected, and some cultural relics were seized, and their whereabouts were still unknown. They have disappeared for more than 40 years.
Legend has it that inscriptions engraved by Yue Fei, Xie Fangde, Wen Tianxiang and the other two, as well as the three characters Shoyanzhai engraved by the son of Wu Lu after recovering the righteous inkstone from a small island country, in order to protect his father's beloved thing, there is no inscription for anyone else except for the three characters Shoyanzhai engraved on the inkstone surface after the son of Wu Lu recovered the righteous inkstone from a small island country.
Moreover, the three characters engraved by Wu Lu's son were on the front of the inkstone, but were not engraved on the back with Yue Fei and the other two.
It is just because these three people's integrity is more than willing to surrender. It is considered a national hero. If the person who gets the inkstone does not have the same integrity as these three people, then it is undoubtedly a humiliation to keep the inkstone together with these three national heroes on the inkstone.
Mr. Wang was extremely excited. Yue Fei's righteous spirit, who had disappeared for decades, appeared in front of him inadvertently, making him feel a little uncontrollable.
"My friend Fang, Wen Tianxiang's handwriting has appeared. Let's take a look now. The eight-character inscriptions of Yue Fei and Yue Zhongwu." Old Wang took a deep breath, controlled his body that was trembling due to excitement, and then began to peel off the last part of the back of the inkstone.
After Yue Fei's death, Song Xiaozong, the next emperor of the Song Dynasty, rehabilitated Yue Fei's Zhaoxue and gave him the posthumous title Wu Mu. During the reign of Song Lizong, he changed his posthumous title to Zhongwu.
Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Fang You nodded, and his face was also excited. Even though he had escape skills, he ignored the mud layer on it and directly saw the inscription on the inkstone, but it was far less real than seeing it with his naked eyes.
Under Wang Lao's slow movement, the mud layer in the last part of the inkstone was removed bit by bit, and the eight-character handwritten book engraved by Yue Fei was completely revealed.
These eight big characters are the largest characters on the entire inkstone, and even Wen Tianxiang, who has the most characters, occupies less than these eight big characters.
Persistence, keep white, not phosphorus, not Zibo. This is the inscription that Yue Fei engraved on the inkstone, which shows his belief in his life.
The meaning of these eight words is that the mind is hard and will not become thinner no matter how hard it is, and the mood is pure and white. Even if it is put into sewage, it will not become darker.
These handwritings are full of wildness and magnificence, which makes people look at them. A kind of righteousness comes from nature and unknowingly reminds people of that magnificent history.
Looking at these handwritings, Fang You seemed to see the helplessness of Yue Fei's plot against the villain when he was regaining the mountains and rivers of the motherland. He also seemed to see Xie Fangde and Wen Tianxiang faced the coercion and temptation of the Yuan Dynasty after the country was destroyed, and he did not waver the firmness of the slightest. People can die but cannot be destroyed.
Fang You vaguely remembered that when he was in school, after learning this history, he secretly made up his mind that when he grew up, he must become a person like Yue Fei who insisted on his beliefs and would not be shaken by anything.
After graduating from college, when some of his former classmates faced the temptation of interests and were involved in the ranks of interests, they still insisted on their dreams and beliefs.
It is precisely because of persistence that he was able to obtain the ancient books on the Five Elements Escape Art. It is precisely because he maintained the purity in his heart that he was able to face Ye Yuqing and his younger brother's car accident, and stood up without hesitation and rescued him regardless of his own life. Many things made him possess the Escape Art Art.
If he becomes a person who is just considering the interests of the market like the market, then when he faces Ye Yuqing's car accident, he will only hesitate without even thinking about it, and will instantly step forward to rescue him.
Fang You was beside Mr. Wang, watching the handwriting, and secretly said thank you.
"What a strong person who persists, keeps white, does not phosphorus, and does not Zi. These eight big words show the principles that Yue Fei adhered to throughout his life. Like Mount Tai, it will not be shaken by anything. In this world, some people can abandon their friends and family for the sake of profit, and can even kill their own biological brothers. Throughout history, there are very few people who are as determined as the three heroes, Yue Zhongwu, Xie Fangde and Wen Tianxiang."
Mr. Wang kept sighing, looking at the three lines of big words on the Zhengqi inkstone, and continued to say: "Even if I have seen many precious antiques, Ru kiln, Jun kiln, and calligraphy and paintings of famous people in my life, none of them can be like this Zhengqi inkstone, which makes me feel a lot of emotion. These words are full of the purest righteousness in the world. When I see these words, deep in my heart, it seems that I keep roaring, roaring in the injustice of this world, and roaring in the country like a country breaking through mountains and rivers."
"Old Wang, you are right. When I saw these handwritings, the scene of these three people not changing their will for anything appeared in my mind. These scenes seemed to exist real, and at the same time, they also made me remember the dreams and beliefs that have never been erased in my heart. Mr. Wang, thank you for letting the righteous inkstone see the light of heaven again."
After hearing what Mr. Wang said, Fang You nodded and said in agreement. Just like Mr. Wang's words, even the Venus Dragon Inkstone could not bring him this kind of upright feeling like a magnificent mountain and river.
In his opinion, what brings these feelings is not the inkstone, but the righteousness revealed in the handwriting, which is the scene that these handwritings recall.
"My friend Fang, I should thank you. Without your discovery, this inkstone that has disappeared for decades will not be seen again. I would not have had the honor to see it again. I have always felt very sorry for the loss of Yue Fei's righteous inkstone. I even felt that I would not see it again in my lifetime. However, you brought me surprises and miracles. Fortunately, my carelessness before did not destroy this righteous inkstone. Otherwise, I would have become a sinner for the eternal period."
Mr. Wang shook his head and sighed. He thought it was just an ordinary inkstone, but he didn't expect that this was the righteous inkstone he had missed for a long time. How could he not regret some of the actions he had done?
"Old Wang, there is no need to be like this. You are not careless, just because the miracles in this world come too quickly. Sometimes when you are unintentional, they will suddenly appear, just like this righteous inkstone. No matter how much I think, I will not think that this will be a righteous inkstone." Fang You said with a smile. When he saw the inkstone at the home of those counterfeiters, if he did not use escape techniques to watch it, even if he found the marks on it, he would not think that it would be a famous righteous inkstone.
"My friend Fang must be the righteous inkstone and don't want to hide it anymore. He happened to meet you, a person with pure heart, so he wanted to reappear in the world through your hands. Haha, we will now show the front of the inkstone and let it truly reappear in the world." Boss Wang said with a smile.
Afterwards, the mud layer on the front of the inkstone was slowly removed. Fang You was worried that Mr. Wang would be overworked and wanted him to rest for a while, but was rejected by Mr. Wang. Looking at Mr. Wang's serious expression, Fang You couldn't help but smile. This was the charm of the righteous inkstone and the immortal legend created by the heroic integrity of Yue Fei and the three of them.
Finally, the mud layer that hides the righteous inkstone was completely removed, and the true appearance of the inkstone was revealed in front of Fang You and the others. This inkstone did not have various flower decorations like other inkstones, full of elegance. However, unlike the elegant aura, the inkstone was full of righteousness.
