Chapter 154: Chapter 154, as expected of me

When he returned to Qingfeng Temple, it was only about three o’clock in the afternoon.

Ning Fei borrowed a cutting machine and an angle grinder from a farmer’s house in the village and began to process the stones that he had brought back.

He first cut the four sides of the stone tablet into a standard rectangle, then used an angle grinder to polish the surface of the stone tablet.

After some operation, a rectangular flat tablet was carved out.

The tablet still retained the unique charm of the mountain rock. When it was close enough, one could feel the thickness and vicissitudes of the mountain.

The stones bought in the market did not have such a feeling.

“The material of this stone is the door stone of Mount Qin. It is just right for making stone tablets.”

“Most of the stones in Mount Qin are granite. There are a variety of them. There are decorative stones, door stones, white hemp stones, thousand layer stones, snow wave stones, landscape stones, and so on.”

“Many schools, government units, and enterprises will also specially transport huge stones from places like Mount Qin and Mount Tai. They will place them at the entrance of the school and carve the names of famous people or schools

“Normally, a huge stone will not be too expensive, but the transportation cost may be hundreds of thousands or even millions.”

As Ning Fei spoke, he finished polishing the entire stone tablet.

Then, he put down his tools and went to the house to find a wooden basin. He poured out a basin of water and used a cloth to carefully clean the surface of the stone tablet.

The entire stone tablet was instantly cleaned exceptionally clean.

......

Next was the inscription.

“The inscription on the stone tablet is a kind of culture, a unique cultural carrier.”

“Generally speaking, the inscription on the stone tablet mainly records events. By studying the previous inscription of the ancient times, one can also see the traces of the rise and fall of that era.”

“Nowadays, there are almost a few stone steles in scenic spots and shops with more than a hundred years of history

“But I don’t intend to record events. My master said that the previous Abbey Dean of the Qingfeng Temple had always been free and easy. He only wanted to pursue nature and have a clear conscience in his life. He never wanted to leave his name in the future.”

Ning Fei took out a brush and ink again.

Before engraving, one had to write well so that it would be more accurate to engrave by hand.

Nowadays, it was mostly done by machines, and there were very few artisans who could engrave words.

However, there were still such old people in the mountains. They could engrave words on stones, and they were square and upright. The asking price was not expensive either. A few words cost 200 yuan. People in Qin City and town would often invite the old man to go down and engrave words.

After Ning Fei returned from the mountain, he changed into a loose dark blue Daoist robe. This Daoist robe was his daily home attire, and it was very comfortable to wear.

In the live broadcast, a Taoist priest held a writing brush in his hand and dipped it in ink. Then, his elbow was suspended in the air, and the tip of the brush was writing on the stone tablet. This scene was full of tradition and ancient style.

“It’s too beautiful!”

“I don’t know why, but I feel very comfortable watching this scene.”

“I finally understand what the people’s daily means when they praise Abbey Dean Ning for promoting culture.”

“Yeah, I’m afraid this kind of scene can only be seen in ancient China.”

“Abbey Dean Ning is really amazing.”

The drone flew closer and drew close to the inscription on the stone tablet so that the netizens could see what Ning Fei was writing.

Ning Fei’s calligraphy was very good. The tip of the brush was light as if it was lifted by weight, and the strokes were steady and powerful.

His expression was very focused, and his eyes were full of sincerity, without any meaningful impurities.

The little dog ran out again.

There was a threshold at the entrance of the temple. This was a culture that was not a custom.

At this moment, the door of the temple was open. The little dog was in the temple. He rested his chin on the threshold and squinted at Ning Fei.

The Little Falcon was not far away from Ning Fei. It was also quietly staring at Ning Fei.

What Ning Fei wrote on the stone tablet was his favorite passage in the Scripture of Tranquility.

Title: calm the mind

”... A Man’s mind is clear, but his heart is disturbed; a man’s mind is calm, but his heart is troubled. He can often control his desires, and his heart is calm; his mind is clear, and naturally his six desires are not born...”

The netizens were not very interested in the content, but they could clearly see that the content written by Ning Fei was smooth and smooth, and there was a sense of vastness between the strokes.

“Good handwriting!”

“The handwriting is just like the person!”

“I think the handwriting is just like the person. My handwriting is very ugly, but I’m really handsome.”

“I agree. In this era, there are more computer typing and fewer writing, so it’s normal for the handwriting to be ugly.”

“But Abbey Dean Ning’s handwriting is indeed good.”

“I’m impressed. I’ve studied calligraphy for five years, and I feel that it’s far from being comparable to Abbey Dean Ning.”. The paragraph he wrote was not just good looking, but the whole paragraph looked majestic. This was something that only a great calligrapher could do

“This is a true master.”

“Don’t use the word ‘master’. These two words have already been derided by those clowns.”

“Indeed.”

At the end of the article, Ning Fei added another sentence:

“In the depths of this mountain, there is a breeze temple. It is secluded in the mountains and rivers, and Mo Wen is involved in worldly affairs.”

At this point, the inscription of the entire stone tablet was completed.

Ning Fei placed the brush on the Inkstone and stood up, looking at the entire stone tablet from a distance.

On the stone tablet, there were a few lines of text that were square and upright. The left and right edges were symmetrical, and the top was narrow while the bottom was wide. The structure was very balanced, and it had a simple aesthetic feeling.

Ning Fei touched his chin and smiled in satisfaction. Then, he muttered to himself, “As expected of me.”

When the netizens heard this, they also echoed.

“Hahaha, as expected of me!”

“It’s rare for Abbey Dean Ning to boast. I feel like I’m going to become famous.”

What Ning Fei did not expect was that his simple self-mockery had triggered a different chemical reaction.

After a few people said this, more and more people joined in.

The bullet screen was densely packed with the words “As expected of me”.

This was similar to the famous joke of some streamers, such as League of Legends. If that man was successful, the bullet screen would definitely be 7777777.

There was also the famous streamer Yin Zi. Once, he was live streaming a game to the finals and the netizens were very nervous with him. At this time, his daughter Yiyi came to disturb him. Yin Zi said a famous misquote to his daughter:

“Dad, Yiyi is working.”

At this point, this sentence became the golden sentence of the netizens.

Ning Fei didn’t really care about such things. As long as the atmosphere in the live streaming room was good, it was fine.

Then, Ning Fei found many carving knives that were used for carving characters.

He had the skill “Carving expertise”, so carving characters was very easy for him.

Then, Ning Fei didn’t say anything more. He started to use the carving knife and concentrated on carving characters on the stone tablet.

Halfway through, the little dog ran over. It lay on the ground not far from him and looked at him for a while. Then, it moved to the other side and lay down, as if wanting Ning Fei to play with it.

Little Fox also ran out. Seeing that Ning Fei was working hard, she ran back.

Little Fei jumped over the threshold and came outside. Then, he chased and played with the little dog mindlessly.

The Little Falcon was still cold and domineering, silently accompanying Ning Fei.

Ning Fei’s attention was focused on the stone monument. He did not pay much attention to the changes around him.

He exerted force with his hand, and the carving knife left marks on the stone bit by bit.

There were almost a hundred words on this monument. It was a pity that one of the words was not perfect, So Ning Fei could not make any mistakes.

His live broadcast did not deliberately show anything, but the popularity was still high.

At this moment, several streamers of the Tianjun Union were watching Ning Fei’s live broadcast offline.

They could not help but curse, “Are the netizens crazy these days? Tell me what’s the point of carving a broken stone? So many people are watching him!”

“I guess they bought it with money. That kid is not simple. He knows how to do publicity!”

“Aren’t we better at catching fish and catching loaches than this?”

What they didn’t understand was that Ning Fei’s live broadcast was more realistic.

The so-called catching fish and catching loaches was done underwater or in the mud a day in advance. They waited for nature to smooth out the man-made traces before digging them out to deceive a wave of viewers.

Now, there were more and more people who had the ability to recognize words online.

Ning Fei was focused on carving words. The netizens were watching the folk skills of a craftsman.

Machine processing was much more convenient, but it was far from the feeling of man-made engraving.

“It’s finally done!”

Engraving was very exhausting. After Ning Fei finished engraving the last word, he wiped the sweat off his head and stood up to move his body. Only then did he realize that the sky was almost dark.

“It’s so late?”Ning Fei said in puzzlement.

“Woof Woof Woof!”The Little Dog barked at the side, wanting Ning Fei to play with it.

At this time, Ning Fei saw the four little guys around him. All of them looked bored and were lying on the ground listlessly.

They had been with Ning Fei for a long time. Ning Fei was focused on engraving and did not notice it at all.

However, it felt good to have the four little guys guarding him.

“Abbey Dean, it’s time to eat.”

Jiang Xue came to the door and called out.

“Okay, let’s go. Let’s eat.”

Ning Fei said to the four little ones and then walked into Qingfeng Temple.

The four little ones followed him happily.

In the live broadcast, the netizens watched the back of a man and four animals leaving. They felt that this was the most relaxing and beautiful scene in the world.
