Chapter 552 Is it expected to reach the holy realm of the master? (four thousand character chapters)
"There is only one day tomorrow, but the competition is relatively early. We have to wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning. Look," the old man heard Xiao Yu's words.
"Haha, is it a day? There is no problem. I will participate on time tomorrow!" Xiao Yu chuckled and nodded and said.
He originally planned to return to the deep sea the day after tomorrow, and there was no arrangement tomorrow, so after hearing the old man's words, he agreed without any hesitation.
"That's great. It will be held at the district event center tomorrow. I'll be waiting for Master Xiao's great journey!" The old man said happily after hearing Xiao Yu's words.
He originally thought he would return disappointed today, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yu actually agreed. This could be considered an unexpected surprise for him. He could also find judges in such an amateur competition, but when he saw Xiao Yu's word, he was shocked.
Xiao Yu was so young that he actually wrote the charm in his words, which made him feel shocked. Such a young top master! Not only was he the only one he saw in his life, but even the ancient calligraphy saints did not have the ability at Xiao Yu’s age!
Therefore, he strongly invited Xiao Yu. If Xiao Yu participated, the level of their calligraphy competition could be improved a lot.
The old man said goodbye and left the place without staying for a long time. He also had to set up the competition site. Although this was spontaneously organized by their event center, it also received strong support from the district, and the prizes were also considered sponsorships from the district.
After seeing the old man off, Xiao Yu did not return to his yard, but had tea and chatted with these old men.
Xiao Yu usually has nothing to do here, so the old men's life is very comfortable. When there is nothing to do, they drink tea and chat. Moreover, Xiao Yu also told these old men that it is enough to leave one or two people to guard the house, and there is no need to leave so many people. Therefore, these old men walk their birds and plant flowers in the yard.
In fact, Xiao Yu also intended to do so. After all, these old men have protected his grandfather and the Xiao family for the rest of their lives. When they are old, it should be time to enjoy a happy life. This is also the reason why Xiao Yu left these old men in the capital.
Besides, the safety of the family cannot be ignored, and no one can make trouble. If these old men are there, Xiao Yu will not have to worry about the safety of his family at all.
You know, these old men are all experts in Huajin, and almost all have entered the late stage of Huajin.
With these old men here, the power of the Xiao family is comparable to a family or sect passed down from ancient times. Only in this way can Xiao Yu stay in the deep sea with confidence.
The next morning, Xiao Yu went out from home and drove towards the district activity center.
The district activity center is only a twenty-minute drive from Xiao Yu. So for a while, Xiao Yu's car parked in the parking lot outside the gate of the activity center, the district activity center. In an open park, the Youth Palace, the Elderly Activity Center, and the Elderly University are all here.
After Xiao Yu stopped the car, he walked towards the park. The park was filled with old people doing morning exercises, and some middle-aged and young people were walking in the park.
Xiao Yu suddenly became very calm when he looked at the people who lived leisurely. He even envied these people now. Although he was definitely young and promising now, such a leisurely life had left him.
The only thing he can do now is to let his family or more people live such a leisurely life.
"Papapapapapapapa" Suddenly, a crisp sound came from a distance. Xiao Yu looked up and saw a group of people whipping the tops in the open space in the park.
Seeing these people twitching the whip in their hands with force, whenever they twitched, a crisp sound came over.
Xiao Yu looked at the time and it was only 6:40, so he slowly walked towards the group of people.
This gyroscope was Xiao Yu's favorite when he was a child. He remembered that when he was seven or eight years old, they were the most addicted to playing gyroscopes. At that time, because there were no other activities and there were not so many cartoons on TV. Therefore, Xiao Yu remembered that in the past, as long as there were flat open spaces, there were children playing gyroscopes, playing cards, and rolling iron circles everywhere.
These things can be regarded as memories of their entire childhood, and Xiao Yu stood by the crowd and watched intently.
"What? Young man, are you whipping two whips?" An old man walked out of the field and said, "With a dense bead of sweat on his forehead."
And his top was still spinning in the open space, making a whistle-like sound.
The old man just saw Xiao Yu watching from the side, laughing a few times from time to time, looking like he was addicted to it. After slashing for a while, he was tired, so he walked over and handed the whip to Xiao Yu.
After hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of joy and said, "Old man, thank you. I haven't played for many years. I feel happy when I see the hunt!"
"Haha, then go and whip a few more fun!" The old man said with a kind smile on his face after hearing Xiao Yu's words.
Xiao Yu took the old man's whip and walked to the center of the field. Seeing that the gyro had slowed down, he swung the whip and started whipping it.
"Haha" Xiao Yu whipped it down, and bursts of laughter suddenly came from all around him.
It turned out that Xiao Yu hadn't whipped the right place just now, and he used too much force, so the whip actually twisted the gyros crookedly and almost couldn't turn it.
Hearing the laughter of these people, Xiao Yu looked at the top on the ground, and his face also showed a look of embarrassment. You know, back then, Xiao Yu could be said to be proficient in all these things he played with, but he didn't expect that the whip would turn out to be ugly.
However, Xiao Yu was not angry at the laughter around him. He knew that the smiles of these people were all kind, so he also showed an embarrassed smile at the old people.
Xiao Yu was not discouraged, but waved the whip again. Not long after, Xiao Yu had mastered the key points and waved the whip fiercely. After the whip and the gyro collided, it made a pleasant and crisp sound, and the whistle sounds from the gyro were even connected into a piece, and the sound and the sound of the whistle tied to the pigeons in the square shone together.
After a while, Xiao Yu looked at the time. Seeing that it was about to seven o'clock, he put away his whip and walked towards the old man on the left.
"Young man is in good health! Why, aren't you playing for a while?" The old man took the whip handed over by Xiao Yu. Seeing that Xiao Yu had been whipping for so long, his face was not red and he was not angry, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, thank you for not playing anymore, just have fun. Let's say that there is still something to do later. I'll ask you for advice on playing tops when I have time!" After hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yu chuckled and said.
"Okay, come and play again if you have time!"
"Well, okay, thank you for being old. I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Xiao Yu finished speaking to the old man, and left here and walked towards the activity center.
But when Xiao Yu walked to the event center, he was stunned for a moment. It was deserted and there was a little bit of the way he looked during the competition? Xiao Yu walked into the event center with doubts.
When he walked into the corridor of the activity center, he heard a faint voice coming from the front, so Xiao Yu walked forward.
Xiao Yu walked to the door of a room with the words "Old Club" hanging on the door and stopped because the sound of speaking just now came from here.
Xiao Yu lifted the curtain and walked into the house. There was a hall the size of a basketball court. At this time, the hall was filled with long tables, with fifty or sixty. Four or five old men were standing next to the table and talking. Obviously, the voices Xiao Yu heard came from them, and the old man who invited Xiao Yu to come was among the few.
When Xiao Yu saw them, they all saw Xiao Yu. Especially the old man who invited Xiao Yu, after seeing Xiao Yu, he hurried over with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Master Xiao, I'm sorry! The competition may have to start later today. Because I received a notice from the district that the district party secretary would also come to participate in the opening ceremony. There is no way, so the competition can only be postponed until 8:30!"
After the old man walked to Xiao Yu, he quickly explained to Xiao Yu that he received a notice at around 10 o'clock last night that the leaders in the district were coming at 8:30 and asked them to delay the start of the competition. After receiving the call, he quickly notified the people who were going to participate in the competition.
But yesterday, he heard Xiao Yu agreeing and was happy. He forgot to ask Xiao Yu for the phone number. He remembered it when he was about to get home yesterday. However, because the competition was about to be held the next day, he thought about it and didn't ask for it again. After all, there was nothing to contact.
But who knew that such a change occurred in today's game. I couldn't notify Xiao Yu, so I could only wait until Xiao Yu comes today! Fortunately, it was only delayed for an hour and a half, and the impact was not too big.
After hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yu nodded in a clear way. No wonder he was so deserted when he came.
But Xiao Yu had nothing to do, and it would be delayed by one and a half hours if it was delayed by one and a half hours! Therefore, he chuckled and said, "Old Hu is polite, it's okay, wait a little longer!"
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, the old man let out a long sigh. He was really afraid that Xiao Yu would be angry and left. After all, young people like this, especially young people with the strength of a top master in calligraphy. Such people have some strange tempers or arrogance.
The old man took Xiao Yu to the rest of the people. After introduction, Xiao Yu met these old men. Among them, one of them was in his seventies with glasses and was elegant. Another judge of this competition, named Wu, was Mr. Hu's colleague, a professor in the Chinese department of a university in Beijing. He also had good at calligraphy.
The other two old people were the other two organizers of the event. After hearing Mr. Hu's introduction, Xiao Yu greeted them one by one.
These people have long heard of Xiao Yu. Mr. Hu often mentions Xiao Yu in front of them, saying how high his calligraphy skills are, and he is a top master!
When they first heard it, they didn't believe it, thinking that Hu was praising it. When Hu saw that they didn't believe it, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he asked them home for dinner the next day. During the meal, he deliberately took out the Spring Festival couplet to show off.
When several people saw the Spring Festival couplet, they looked envious, especially Mr. Hu’s colleague, whose appreciation level is very high, so when he saw this Spring Festival couplet, he knew that it was written by a top master. Such calligraphy is hard to come by!
You should know that in the current social calligraphy world, top masters are already the most powerful, and there are very few such people.
He originally thought that Mr. Hu's calligraphy was written by one of the top masters, but after reading it for a while, he found that the calligraphy was not written by any of the masters he knew.
"Has there been a new top master released?" Looking at the words, Mr. Wu thought secretly.
But when he knew that this calligraphy was written by the young top master as Mr. Hu said, in addition to being shocked, he also had deep disbelief. He thought that Mr. Hu didn't know where he got the calligraphy of a top master, and came here to fool him!
He would not believe that a young man in his twenties could become a top master, if so, he would not have heard of it. After all, a top master in his twenties could definitely cause huge waves in the calligraphy world.
If you can become a top master in your twenties, what kind of talent is needed!! Such talent can be said to be unprecedented. You should know that even the saint of calligraphy Wang Xizhi was in his thirties when he became a top master.
Therefore, he would not believe it no matter how he said it, and he would not believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes. It would be difficult for him to believe it even if he knew that Mr. Hu would not lie. In short, he would not believe it if he did not see it with his own eyes. A top master in his twenties appeared.
"Master Xiao, I heard from Brother Hu that you wrote the Spring Festival couplets there, right?" Mr. Wu pondered for a while and asked Xiao Yu who was talking to Mr. Hu and the other two.
He didn't want to ask at first, but he couldn't help it. After all, the top master in his twenties was unheard of.
"Haha, Mr. Hu has a pair of Spring Festival couplets, but I don't know if it's the one you said!" After hearing Mr. Wu's words, Xiao Yu also saw the enthusiasm in his eyes, and then chuckled and said.
After hearing Xiao Yu's answer, Mr. Wu's eyes became even more enthusiastic. It should be the Spring Festival couplet, but he couldn't believe that Xiao Yu was a top master in such a grade.
You know, if Xiao Yu becomes a top master at such an age, he will definitely have great hope of breaking through again in his life and entering the legendary master realm - the holy realm!
