As soon as the poem was completed, Du Shimei recited it loudly.
Because he described the characteristics of the eight people here so penetratingly, everyone was filled with admiration.
The crowd accompanying the meal also rushed forward and quickly copied the poem.
Li Qinglian said to the middle-aged man who took off his hat: "Old Zhang, hurry up."
The man took the manuscript paper from Du Shimei's hand.
Du Shimei said: "Brother Xu, I'm done."
Zhang Xu nodded, took a deep breath, and began to splash ink.
The brush seems to have lost control on the paper. Sometimes it tilts like a bamboo in the wind, sometimes it rolls wildly like a huge wave, sometimes it stretches like a withered vine...
Zhang Xu's expression is sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes crazy!
In just a few breaths, you're done!
Those words are really like a tiger roaring and a dragon flying in fright. The energy channels between the great opening and great closing are connected, and the viewers are all amazed and clapping their hands to praise the wonderfulness!
After everyone admired it, they started drinking again.
Lu Yuan approached Li Qinglian, raised his hands and saluted, "Lu Yuan, I have met brother Qinglian."
Li Qinglian glanced at him with a drunken look and said, "This little friend is so angry...and has extraordinary bearing. I'm glad to meet you."
A person next to him said: "Hanlin hasn't composed the poem yet, little friend, you can wait here."
"I came here this time not to ask for poems, but to inquire about a person from Brother Qinglian."
"Are you looking for someone from me?" Li Qinglian said with a smile, "I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. To find someone, you go to Jingpingsi. Those guys are very quick to find people."
Lu Yuan also smiled and said, "That's where I came from. Lin Siwei asked me to come to see you, sir, and he also wrote a letter for me to bring to you."
"Oh, it's okay if you don't read Lin Zi's letter," Li Qinglian waved her hand, "My little friend, you must ask me for information. It's not impossible. I just want to see if you are worthy of my help."
Lu Yuan smiled: "I don't have much talent, I can only make you laugh."
After saying that, he held his sword finger and pointed it at a full wine vat.
The wine in the vat immediately turned into a line of water and flew out.
Everyone was amazed.
Lu Yuan's Qi Lun Dantian suddenly waved his arms rapidly.
But I saw that the wine liquid was continuously extending, changing, and ups and downs in the air, and each Chinese character was suspended in the air.
It is Li Qinglian's famous work "The Road to Shu is Difficult".
The handwriting is almost exactly the same as Zhang Xu’s!
Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Xu's cursive calligraphy was the best in Dayu, and he was nicknamed "Cao Sheng".
But Lu Yuan's calligraphy written with wine is actually on par with it.
He is a person who cultivates mysticism, and his handwriting naturally has an elegant fairy spirit.
Therefore, this calligraphy is slightly better.
Zhang Xu's eyes shone and he was the most shocked.
He would never have imagined that the young man in front of him could actually write such a good calligraphy!
In fact, Lu Yuan had never learned calligraphy before. What he just wrote was based on the "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" copied by Zhang Xu.
The super comprehension brought by Qilin Xin made Lu Yuan learn anything incredibly fast.
When Lu Yuan saw that everyone had read almost everything, he opened his hands, and all the floating words immediately returned to the wine liquid, spinning rapidly, and all entered Lu Yuan's mouth.
This one sip is half a tank of wine!
Lu Yuan patted his belly with satisfaction and exhaled a breath of wine:
"Phew, good wine!"
Everyone applauded. Zhang Xu also had to admit that life was scary.
Li Qinglian loved drinking the most. Seeing that Lu Yuan had such a drinking capacity, she naturally favored him.
"My little friend just wrote an old work of mine. Can you compose a poem of your own?"
When everyone saw that Li Qinglian was going to test Lu Yuan's poetry, they immediately became interested and everyone listened attentively.
"Brother Qinglian's poetry is unparalleled in the world. My dear brother, I am a practitioner of mysticism and I really don't know how to write poetry."
"It doesn't matter. Just try to make a song and see."
If I don't write poetry today, it seems I won't be able to pass Brother Qinglian's test. Lu Yuan thought to himself.
He had read a lot of verse before, but had never written it himself.
At this time, Lu Yuan immediately recalled the writing method of rhythmic poetry, and recalled the scene of playing at Baigongdu in Fuyi River a long time ago. He frowned slightly and wrote:
"Visit Fuyi Baigong Ferry"
White birds perch on the sandbank, and golden waves circle the distance.
Thousands of barges cross the river, and thousands of ships are pulled out of Chu.
In Hannan County, Zhuangjiao, Du You weeps with sad songs.
The setting sun shines on the ancient ferry, and the Yi River flows leisurely. "
The pen is written and the poem is completed.
"Okay!" Du Shimei suddenly praised.
Seeing that no one around him responded, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and chuckled.
Li Qinglian squinted at the poem and said slowly:
"This poem has many problems, but as a beginner, it is very good."
"Yes, this poem expresses feelings through ancient times and expresses the regret for Wu Anjun Bai Qi in a subtle and subtle way."
"Death shows ambition and leaves a long lasting aftertaste."
It is true that Lu Yuan cannot write poetry, and Qilin Xin cannot make up for this regret.
But if he really wants to learn, he can do it in about three months.
Li Qinglian said: "Which sect is my little friend practicing?"
When he said this, it meant that he passed the assessment.
Lu Yuan was overjoyed and replied: "I practice the art of subduing demons and am a demon master."
"It turns out to be Master Lu. I am very interested in Taoism. If it is convenient, please introduce me to a reliable Taoist master."
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Qinglian, don't worry. As soon as there is news, we will report it immediately."
Li Qinglian burped and nodded: "You just said you were looking for someone. Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for senior alchemist Qing Qiuzi."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Lu Yuan was like falling into the clouds and mist.
Li Qinglian wiped her eyes and still smiled: "Master Lu Xian is a practitioner of Xuan, but he doesn't learn well."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Du Shimei whispered awkwardly on the side: "This Master Qingqiuzi... is a frequent visitor to brothels. He tops up in many brothels and becomes a first-class VIP. In different brothels, he uses different names. The name Qingqiuzi, Only a few of us know."
Lu Yuan asked: "Then how to find him?"
Li Qinglian closed her eyes and thought for a moment: "Tomorrow is Wangri of this month. On this day, he will definitely go to Lanbo Bay Bathing Pavilion to find Miss Youming, the No. 78 technician. Master Lu Xian, I am tired today, so I will take you with me tomorrow night Go and see the colorful world of Changning!"
The next night.
Changning is indeed half a city that never sleeps.
Lanterns shine everywhere, shining like stars.
Many handsome men and women dressed in fashionable clothes walked arm in arm.
Various shops also shouted vigorously at this time.
The sounds of hawking, laughter, musical instruments, and singing come and go.
From time to time, guards in full gold and red armor patrolled with weapons, looking majestic.
It’s really a great weather!
Blue Wave Bay Foot Bath Pavilion.
This pavilion is luxuriously decorated but elegant and interesting. It is the oldest building in Changning.
The secret of its long-term prosperity is its "quick introduction", so it has also won the favor of many wealthy people.
The technicians trained here are familiar with playing, playing, singing, poetry and songs. From now on, if you go to any restaurant, you will be hired with a high salary.
"Hey! What a fortune is blowing today! Our distinguished guest Li is here! Please come in, please come in!" The aunt in front of the door burst into laughter when she saw Li Qinglian.
"Oh, your store is too expensive. I can't afford it, Xiaosheng!"
The aunt laughed and said: "It depends on what you said. If the talented man Li hadn't written poems for the girls, our museum would not be what it is today. You are our great benefactor!"
Li Qinglian chuckled and said: "This brother of mine is looking for Liu Yuan. He should be here now, right?"
"Master Liu? You are here! He is soaking his feet and chatting with the girls. He just talked about your brother. I will take you there!"
Lu Yuan followed Li Qinglian in.
It was the first time for him to come to such an occasion and he found it a bit strange.
But after all, he is a practitioner of mysticism and has seen many big scenes.
So after looking around twice, he didn't show much interest.
The aunt took them to a secluded small room inside.
She knocked lightly on the door and said in a very low voice: "Your Majesty Liu, Your Majesty Liu. Li Caizi is here to see you."
Lu Yuan heard the sound of teacups being placed inside.
Then there was the sound of a man struggling to sit up.
Immediately, a delicate female voice sounded: "Come on, come on."
The door slowly opened, and a beauty with a little makeup appeared in front of her.
"Hey, Miss Youming." Li Qinglian cupped her hands and said.
You Ming folded her sleeves and bowed: "I have seen my benefactor, a great talent."
Li Qinglian nodded and pushed Lu Yuan through the door:
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, long time no see, you are still in your old habits, hahahaha!"
Qing Qiuzi's alias in Lanbo Bay is Liu Yuan.
He looks nearly fifty years old, with deep cheekbones, a high nose, and disheveled hair. The short beard on the temples is dark red, which may be caused by years of alchemy refining.
"Hey! Visitors are rare. Qinglian, you came at the right time. Two things. First, there is new tea tonight, you can try it. Second, there are two tunes in Mr. Wang's "Weicheng Song" that neither the girls nor I can touch. It’s accurate, please come and adjust it.”
Qingqiuzi said as she dried her red feet and put on her cloth shoes.
"These things are easy to talk about. But I'm not here to talk to you about these things today. A friend of mine wants to see you."
"Oh? Your friend is this person next to you?"
Lu Yuan cupped his fists and saluted, "I, the demon master Lu Yuan, have met senior Qing Qiuzi."
Qingqiuzi laughed: "My friend, no courtesy, please sit down. Qinglian, did you tell him this name?"
"No. Master Lu Xian said it himself."
"Not many people know my name. I wonder why my little friend wants me?"
Li Qinglian and You Ming knowingly prepared to close the door and leave.
Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "Brother Qinglian, please sit down for a moment."
Li Qinglian smiled and sat next to him.
Qingqiuzi made them each a cup of tea.
Lu Yuan blew the hot air, took a sip, and explained what happened.
After hearing this, Li Qinglian remained silent for a long time and then said: "What is love, life and death. Immortal Master, your story inspired me. I will compose a poem later!"
Qing Qiuzi's face turned pale after listening to Lu Yuan's story.
"You said, Fazhao wrote me a letter?"
"Exactly." Lu Yuan took out the letter and handed it over with both hands.
Qingqiuzi quickly read the letter and tore it into pieces angrily.
"Senior, what does this mean?"
Qingqiuzi slapped the table and stood up suddenly:
"Why isn't this old boy Fazhao still dead?"
These words made Lu Yuan even more confused.
Li Qinglian came over to persuade: "Old Qiu, let's get over the grudges of many years. If you can, let them go. Do you still plan to hold grudges for the rest of your life?"
"Little friend Lu, I'm sorry! Go back and tell him that unless you take the head from his neck, you won't be able to refine the elixir!"
Li Qinglian said: "Old Qiu, why do you bother to embarrass the younger generation about the things of your previous generation? Give me some face and help him this time. Later, I will ask Dan Qiusheng to set up a game. Let's exchange alchemy experiences and have another drink. .what do you think?"
Qingqiuzi's face looked better:
"Since Brother Qinglian said it, I'd better help you refine one reluctantly."
Hearing that Qing Qiuzi agreed, Lu Yuan was overjoyed: "Thank you, senior!"
"Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Li Qinglian!"
