Chapter 1454: Calligraphy Exhibition
“Count me in . I’ll go too!”
“Let’s go together and bring Master home!”
At the same time, some people’s attention was also attracted by the heated rumors online .
A particular female reporter who was buying shoes, an old secretary who was drinking, a female Daoist priest who was tasting tea in the mountains, a sunny girl who was arduously practicing calligraphy, a man wearing a crooked hat and playing with his cell phone, and a few kids who had banded together to search for Mt . One Finger…
Deep in the Southwest Mountain, the girl in the forest suddenly put down her phone and said to her brother, “Brother, I’m going overseas . ”
“What?” The boy was dumbstruck .
At the border of Vietnam, there was a youth who was making a deal with the elephant . He touched the elephant’s nose and said, “This person must be Abbot Fangzheng . Although he looks different, I will never forget the charm of his every move… I’m going to find him!”
The elephant trumpeted .
On a tall building in Southeast Asia, a man put down his wine glass and said, “Let’s go and pay a visit to Abbot Fangzheng!”
That’s right . A group of people who had always worshiped Fangzheng in their hearts saw something fishy through Fangzheng’s subconscious actions on video . Following that, they began their journey to Europe to seek out Fangzheng .
In an instant, countless people cast their gazes at Europe .
Of course, there were also some who had nothing better to do . They weren’t sure if it was Abbot Fangzheng, but no one believed that it was a waste of time to verify it . After all, there was nothing to do . Many people were even willing to waste it in exchange for a sliver of anticipation…
Fangzheng didn’t know that he had unintentionally caused a stir . In short, he slept soundly that night .
However, due to his personal habits, he still woke up before dawn . He could not stay inside any longer . He smacked Red Boy on the butt and pulled the brat out of the sheets . After washing up, they went out .
“Master, what are you doing? It wasn’t easy for us to eat and drink to our fill and have a place to stay . Why aren’t you enjoying the bliss?” Red Boy rubbed his eyes as he yawned . He looked indignant .
Fangzheng said, “Look at how useless you are . You are already overseas, so you should take a look . Look at this place . That’s the way to live up to being overseas . ”

“Alright, alright . You are my master . Everything you say makes sense,” Red Boy replied with a yawn .
The two of them walked for more than two hours . Two hours later, the two of them looked at the skyscraper in shock and the familiar scenes around them .
“No way . Master, we seem to have returned . ” Red Boy looked at the scenery in front of him in shock .
Fangzheng scratched his nose and said, “This… It seems we have really circled back . Since we are back, it’s also fate . Weren’t we planning on going to the calligraphy exhibition yesterday? It’s just nice today . Let’s go in and take a look!”
Red Boy’s interest was immediately piqued when he heard that . Who wouldn’t love to join in the fun when they weren’t starving?
The arrival of the two monks made the service staff at the door frown . After all, the two monks were dressed in tattered clothes . It was obvious that they weren’t rich . However, the service staff didn’t stop them . After confirming that the monks’ clothes were clean despite being tattered, they closed one eye .
Without any dramatic developments, Fangzheng successfully entered the exhibition hall .
At the front of the exhibition hall, there were some rubbings . It was filled with famous people and calligraphy works by people like Wang Xizhi, etc…
It was also Fangzheng’s first time seeing these ancient works by these ancient calligraphers . He watched them with relish .

Further ahead were some calligraphers who were writing on the spot . Although they lacked the charm of the ancients, they produced the beauty of calligraphy . Each stroke was extremely grand . Fangzheng nodded as he watched .
“Hehe, Venerable One, seeing how you keep nodding, it appears you can appreciate calligraphy?” A middle-aged man who had just picked up a brush smiled gently .
Fangzheng pressed his palms together . “Amitabha . This Penniless Monk understands a little, but it’s not much . The word ‘Mister’ has the feeling of water . When it’s gentle, it’s like a tiny stream . When it’s unleashed, it’s like the surging Yellow River . It’s indeed beautiful . ”
The man was taken aback when he heard that . He cupped his hands and said, “I am Wang Daochun . Venerable One, may I know how to address you?”
Fangzheng pressed his palms together . “This Penniless Monk is Fangzheng . ”
Wang Daochun was taken aback as he said, “Fangzheng? Uh… I’m sorry . This Dharma name is too eyecatching…”
Fangzheng smiled . “It’s fine . Every time This Penniless Monk reveals his Dharma name, everyone’s reaction seems to be huge . ”
Wang Daochun chuckled and said, “That’s not impossible . Abbot Fangzheng is a god-like figure in China . Who doesn’t know him? However, no one has a monopoly on names . There’s no need to change it just because someone else shares the same name . Venerable One, from what you said, it looks like you are quite good at calligraphy . ”
Wang Daochun clearly did not want to harp on the issue, so he changed the topic and returned to calligraphy .

Fangzheng shook his head . “A little . It’s been a long time since This Penniless Monk wrote . Who knows what kind of words This Penniless Monk can produce now . ”
“Haha… Venerable One, you’re being too polite . The exhibition just started and there aren’t many people around . If you wish to write, you can use our brush and ink . Everyone is here to talk about calligraphy . There’s no such thing as good or bad . ” Wang Daochun chuckled .
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded . “If there’s no such thing as good or bad in calligraphy, why do you still need to write calligraphy? Can’t you just write it at home? There are always differences in everything . This is a Chinese calligraphy exhibition, not an exhibition to shame China . Every word here needs to be appreciated by foreign guests . If you find someone to randomly write, it will not only embarrass you, but also all of China!”
As he spoke, a man slowly walked over with a few people clustered around him like he was someone important .
“Huang Yu, what are you doing here?” Wang Daochun obviously didn’t like Huang Yu .
Fangzheng did not like it either . This was because Huang Yu did not look like a calligrapher . Instead, he looked more like a businessman . The way he looked at people was not as honest or easygoing as Wang Daochun’s . There was a sharpness in it like a knife .
Huang Yu said, “You hung up a signboard—Touring Exhibition of Chinese Calligraphy . I’m also a calligrapher, so I came here to take a look and write a few words . Isn’t that too much? I just never expected China to be so sad that it doesn’t even have calligraphers . Is the situation so bad that you need to get a random monk on the road?”
When a youth behind Wang Daochun heard that, he said angrily, “That’s at least better than going overseas to be a traitor! You abandoned what the ancestors taught and abandoned the country’s calligraphy to learn something that bears no resemblance to anything . When you return, you even claim yourself to be orthodox . You criticize the works of the ancestors and that what Japan has is true culture . I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen one so shameless!”
Huang Yu’s expression turned ugly when he heard that . However, he still maintained his arrogant smile and said lightly, “Wang Daochun, you guys are still so useless . It’s rude for a child to interrupt when an elder speaks . It’s no wonder China’s calligraphy is waning . If one’s character and morals aren’t good, how can one inherit and pass down calligraphy?”
