Chapter 1054 Baihua Club
Luoying Island is suspended in mid-air, with hundreds of flowers blooming on the island. Monks in twos and threes are passing through, either admiring the scenery or drinking and writing poems. The scene is very lively.
Liang Yan observed carefully for a while and found that the people who came to the island had different levels of cultivation. Some were already in the Golden Core stage, and some were still in the Foundation building stage, but they could drink tea and talk together. See It's fun to go up there.
Ji Lai obviously noticed the curiosity in his eyes, and explained at this time: "This is the Hundred Flowers Club. Regardless of the level of cultivation, only the elegance of literati is discussed. You see, some of them compose poems and some compose music. , many of the younger Confucian students took this opportunity to ask their elders for advice.”
“That’s it.”
Liang Yan nodded lightly. This was the first time he had seen such a grand event, and he was quite curious.
The two of them strolled around the island for a while and found that there were indeed many beautiful female nuns here.
Ji Lai originally dressed up as a scholar, but if he were more serious, he would be quite personable. Along the way, many Confucian female cultivators were attracted by his temperament and came to exchange literary works with him.
Although Ji Lai is a bit cynical, what he has learned is absolutely correct. He seems to be able to compete with these female cultivators by reciting poems and talking about elegant things.
Many female cultivators have a great impression of him, and it goes without saying that he flirted with her.
To Liang Yan's displeasure, he already had a beautiful woman in his heart and had no interest in these so-called Confucian fairies at all. But now he had to stay with Ji Lai, which seemed a bit idle.
Just when he was a little bored, the sound of silk and bamboo wind music suddenly came from the end of the road ahead. Liang Yan raised his eyes and saw a slim figure in the crowd, holding a long sword and dancing gracefully. .
"It seems that someone is doing a sword dance. Listening to this music, the accompanist's skills are not simple!" Ji Lai's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be interested.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the place where the crowd was standing. On a huge blue rock on the edge of the cliff, there was a female cultivator in white holding a sword of cold light, dancing lightly to the sound of the flute.
This woman is tall and has a beautiful face. In addition, her white clothes are better than snow, and her face is like frost. From a distance, she looks like a cold pool in the ice and snow, giving people an indestructible cold temperament.
"It turns out to be her!"
After Ji Lai saw this woman, he had an expression on his face.
"Do you recognize this woman?" Liang Yan asked.
"Yes, she is one of the five casual cultivators I told you before, the 'Ice Mountain Snow Lotus' Mu Hanxue." Ji Lai nodded.
“Oh? In that case, she is also a monk who participated in this selection examination?”
"Of course, this woman's cultivation is also in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, and her strength is definitely not weak!"
Ji looked at the woman dancing alone on the bluestone, her eyes were full of admiration, and then she said : "This girl is really good, just like There is only one lotus on the iceberg of eternity, and the "Baifang Pu" will not deceive me!"
"Baifang Pu?"
Liang Yan was slightly startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, this is not what he has seen before! Was it written by that unreliable old Confucian scholar?
“Hey, Brother Liang must have never heard of it, right?”
Ji Lai winked at him and said: "This "Hundred Fragrances" was written with great pains by a senior expert from Wushuang City. It lists one hundred beautiful fairies in the entire Antarctic Fairy Continent, and this Mu Han in front of us is Xue is on the list, ranked ninety-sixth in the "Baifang Pu"! "
"It seems that you are very familiar with that Baifang Pu" Liang Yan said teasingly.
“I was lucky enough to read one or two of them back then, but it’s a pity that most of the fairies on the list are highly cultivated, while Ji’s luck is shallow. Except for Mu Hanxue in front of me, I have never seen anyone in person before.” Ji He sighed with regret.
While the two of them were talking, the song in front of them had ended. Liang Yan turned around and saw that the person playing the flute was a middle-aged man in a wide robe and long sleeves.
This man is short in stature and has a thin face. He is wearing an old set of gray and white robes. He is sitting cross-legged on another bluestone on the edge of the cliff and slowly puts a long flute into storage. In the ring.
"Mr. Situ, how does Han Xue dance to this song?"
Mu Hanxue also stopped the sword dance at this time, stood on the bluestone and raised her hands to ask.
“As graceful as a startled dragon, graceful as a swimming dragon, moving like waves in the blue sea, quiet as ancient pine trees in Cangshan, rushing like thousands of troops, slowing down like a trickle of a beautiful woman. Listening to the snow sword dancing can It is extremely rare to be danced by you to such an extent," the middle-aged man said slowly.
Mu Hanxue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Situ. Actually, Han Xue came to Baihua Club this time just to meet Mr.”
"I'm a rotten scholar, what's there to see?" The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.
"Sir, you are too modest. Who is here to take part in the selection examination this time and doesn't know the name of Situ Kuangsheng? As soon as the flying sword comes out, sir, I am afraid that no one among the candidates this time will be able to block your move."< br>
"My broken sword is not worth mentioning. If you have nothing else to do, girl, I will leave first." Situ Kuangsheng said and stood up from the bluestone, turned around and was about to leave.
“Mr. Situ, please wait!”
Mu Hanxue hurriedly stopped the other party, then with a solemn look on her face, she cupped her hands and said, “Hanxue is here to sincerely invite you, sir, to form a team with me. Participate in this selection assessment of Wushuang City.”
As soon as she said this, Liang Yan and Ji Lai looked at each other, and a thought came to their minds at the same time:
"It turns out that Mu Hanxue is also here to find an ally!"
At least half of the cultivators who were watching at this time came to participate in the Hundred Flowers Party because they admired Mu Hanxue's name. Now they heard that the ice and snow fairy they had longed for had openly invited others to form a team. , I feel a little bit tasteful in my heart.
“I don’t know what kind of luck this guy got, but he actually let Fairy Mu take the initiative to invite me! I think he has been very happy for a long time, why don’t you agree quickly?” A man in white murmured in a low voice.
As soon as he spoke, someone next to him shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. He is a genius monk of the Situ family. With your cultivation in the foundation building period, if you anger others, you will only be killed by one person." The look will kill you!”
"I didn't say anything, just pure envy."
While the onlookers were whispering, Situ Kuangsheng on the bluestone was not moved at all. He didn't even turn his head at this time. He just said lightly:
“I don’t like to make noise, so I won’t team up with anyone for this assessment, only rely on my hands. This sword strike is enough! Goodbye, girl!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned into a rainbow and ran away from Luoying Island
Everyone present did not expect that he would refuse so simply. At this time, many people were stunned, and it was obvious that they had not recovered yet.
And Mu Hanxue's face was as cold as ice. She was originally known as the "Ice Mountain Snow Lotus", but now she was like ten thousand years of ice, making people want to stay away from this woman involuntarily.
“Hmph!” After a long time, I heard her coldly snort, and like Baili Kuangsheng, she turned into a rainbow and left Luoying Island.
"Let her go just like that?"
Liang Yan looked at Ji Lai beside him and said with a half-smile: "Don't you want to find someone? An ally? This Fairy Mu is so beautiful, and now she is looking for someone to form a team, but with your character, you don’t invite her?”
"Brother Liang, what you said is wrong!" Ji Lai said seriously: "We are here to find allies this time, not to be a couple. Although Mu Hanxue is beautiful, she is in the top five Ranking only third among the casual cultivators, the strength is not as good as The Swordsman of the South China Sea is much different, so of course we have to find the strongest one."
"Huh?"
Liang Yan looked at Ji Lai in surprise, and then teased. Said: "It turns out that you are not the only one who has met A beautiful fairy can't walk!"
"Brother Liang is joking!" Ji Lai also knew his usual character, and he chuckled and continued: "That Situ Kuangsheng is also a person. Famous swordsman, said to have high strength He is unpredictable, but his personality is unruly. Even the monks from the same clan as the Situ family are not harmonious. "
"That's it. It seems that this person is unlikely to agree to other people's request to form a team."
Liang Yan looked at the direction Situ Kuangsheng was leaving and narrowed his eyes.
Just now he couldn't sense this person's swordsmanship. If Mu Hanxue and Ji Lai hadn't said that he was a swordsman, Liang Yan might not have believed it.
"Interesting. This person is really good at hiding his clumsiness. In this selection and assessment, I have the opportunity to try his methods."
As Situ Kuangsheng and Mu Hanxue left one after another, The monks who were watching nearby suddenly felt bored. At this time, they all began to retreat. The originally bustling cliff became deserted in an instant.
"Luoying Island is so big, where can we find Cang Yueming?" Liang Yan looked at the surrounding mountain roads and suddenly asked.
"It's very simple! Cang Yueming likes to be lively and pushy."
Ji Lai pointed to the top of the mountain and said with a smile: "So we just need to go to the place with the highest terrain and the most people and wait for him to appear. Yes."
"Look. You have figured out this person's character. If that's the case, let's go."
Liang Yan responded lightly. He was no longer interested in the romantic and romantic affairs along the way, and just wanted to find him quickly. The South China Sea Swordsman then left here.
The two of them walked up the mountain road, and after half a stick of incense, they arrived at the top of the mountain. They saw hundreds of monks surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, all looking towards the two middle ones. They looked at each stone pillar and exchanged a few words with each other from time to time.
Liang Yan looked intently and saw two natural rocks standing in the middle of the top of the mountain, more than ten feet high, like two roof beams stuck upside down on the ground.
The stone pillar on the left has a line of words inscribed on it, which is exactly: "The sea reaches the boundless sky as a cliff!"
The stone pillar on the right is blank, without any writing.
Most of the people watching were Confucian scribes. At this moment, some were whispering to each other, some were contemplating with their eyes closed, and some were shaking their heads and singing softly. They all seemed to be thinking hard.
When Liang Yan and Ji came here, they were a little confused, so they randomly asked a scribe.
The scribe seemed a little dissatisfied with his thoughts being interrupted, but after he saw clearly the cultivation realms of Liang Yan and Ji Lai, he still said patiently:
"This is the message left by Zhenjun Sanhua." In the first line of Luoying Island, as long as the literati who come here can come up to fight, However, only the poems approved by Shizhu will be left on it. If they are not correct, the handwriting will not be shown at all. "
"If someone corrects the second line, Sanhua laymen will not only invite the other party to read it. Tea talks about Taoism, and a treasure will be given to him. ”
< br>"There is such a thing!" Ji Lai was slightly startled when he heard this, and then shouted: "As far as I know, Zhenjun Sanhua has an extremely beautiful face. The senior in Wushuang City originally wanted to include her in the "Hundred Flowers" Unfortunately, after being threatened by this woman, her name was not included in the second couplet. , I can actually drink tea and talk about Taoism with her?"
"Isn't it?" The scribe raised his eyebrows with a look of admiration, and then said: "If I can share it with Senior Sanhua, Have a drink, even if there is no such treasure, I will be willing to do so.”
While a few people were talking, they suddenly heard a voice in the crowd shouting:
"Go away!"
Liang Yan turned around and saw a man in black robe walking out of the crowd. , stepping in mid-air, and reached the top of the stone pillar on the right in a few leaps.
This man was full of confidence, holding a thick wolf-hair pen in his hand, and laughed and said:
“Everyone, this second couplet will be written by Chu!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he started writing on the stone pillar. The first word he saw was "Moon". The handwriting was neat and three-quarters deep into the stone. It looked like he was quite accomplished in calligraphy.
Seeing that the first word he wrote did not disappear, everyone could not help but concentrate and wait with bated breath.
The man in black robe was obviously very proud. At this time, he changed his pen and wanted to write a second word on the stone pillar.
However, after he finished writing, he could no longer write. There seemed to be an invisible force on the surface of the stone pillar, making him unable to hold the pen at all.
Everyone was watching attentively at this time, but they saw that the man in black robe was pale, sweating profusely, and the hand holding the pen was trembling in mid-air. They naturally guessed what happened.
Sure enough, the next moment the man in black robe was bounced off by a burst of white light, and the word "moon" he had written on the stone pillar disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
“Haha, I thought this person was amazingly talented, but I didn’t expect that he was just trying to impress the public!”
Around the stone pillar, people immediately began to mock mercilessly, and there were still people laughing next to them. He echoed, his tone extremely sarcastic.
The man in black robe also knew that he had been humiliated. He was so arrogant at the beginning and now it was so embarrassing. At this time, he didn't even dare to look back and hurriedly walked down the mountain.
After he left, the crowd on the top of the mountain became more cautious. No one dared to go up and write poems rashly, for fear that they would follow in that man's footsteps and be ridiculed by other scribes.
These people were all thinking hard in place, as if they would never go on stage unless they came up with a flawless second line.
After half a cup of tea, I suddenly heard a woman’s voice saying weakly:
“Let me try it.”
After everyone heard it, They all turned around to look, and saw a petite and cute woman in green willow-colored clothes coming out of the crowd and coming to the stone pillar on the right.
