Shao Xi had an indifferent expression on his face. While shaking the folding fan in his hand, he reached out and picked up the small notes on the stone table and read them one by one.
When he looked up at Ruan Haoyang and Ruan Haoyang again, he saw both of them looking at him incredulously.
Shao Xi smiled indifferently and said to the two of them: "It seems that Brother Ruan and Mrs. Ruan don't believe that I can introduce these ten words into the poem. How about we increase the difficulty a little more and I will combine these ten words into a poem called "Five Jue". Among them, I wonder what you think?"
What? Introducing all the ten words drawn into the poem is already extremely difficult and unimaginable. Now this guy actually wants to use these ten words directly into a poem of five uniques?
You must know that there are only four sentences in Wujue, each sentence has five words, and there are only twenty words in total! The ten words in front of me are already the number of words in two of the sentences.
If we talk about writing a seven-jue poem, although it is also very difficult, at least there is room for adjustment. But for the five-jue poem, there is only room for ten characters. How is this possible?
Seeing the disbelief on their faces, Shao Xi stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank the wine in one gulp. However, he did not put the glass back on the stone table, but held it up in his hand and turned it around. He looked away.
Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what was going on, but they couldn't disturb them, so they looked at Shao Xi quietly.
Just a moment later, Shao Xi turned around and put the cup on the table, shook his folding fan and chanted slowly:
There are golden cicadas hanging on the parasol trees, drinking wine and becoming immortals.
…
Just after reciting the first two sentences, Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu were no longer calm.
Just because none of the ten words in the first two sentences were drawn by Ye Zhiqiu from the clay pot before, what does this mean? This means that all ten words drawn must be placed in the last two sentences, no more, no less, and all ten words drawn must be used in the last two sentences.
The two of them were confused by Shao Xi! It was already extremely difficult to use ten characters in the Five Jue, but now Shao Xi left all ten characters in the last two sentences, leaving no room for change.
Ruan Haoyang didn't know what Shao Xi was thinking. He only knew that Ye Zhiqiu randomly picked out these ten words from the clay pot, and composed the poem impromptu without much time to think about it.
Now that the first two sentences have been published, how does Shao Xi use these ten words to complete the last two sentences? Ruan Haoyang wants to see how he responds.
At this time, Shao Xi did not notice the expressions of Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu, but continued to chant slowly:
The clear breeze and bright moonlight rhyme, the autumn lake water and clouds.
Ten words, one not too many, not one too little, just rearranged the positions to complete the last two sentences of this five-jue poem, and the artistic conception seems to be more advanced than the first two sentences.
Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu went from suspicion at first to surprise later, and now they are shocked.
Just as Shao Xi said jokingly just now, although Ye Zhiqiu could not help him extract a whole poem, he did help him extract half of the poem, and it was the complete second half without changing a word.
Although none of the ten words in the second half of the poem were composed by Shao Xi himself, he cleverly used the order of these ten words and recombined them to complete the most exquisite last two sentences. Ruan Haoyang and the two felt incredible.
The two of them never expected that Shao Xi did not use these words and phrases in four lines of the poem, but turned them into two lines of poetry.
Regardless of whether Shao Xi relied on luck or his own whims, he had to admit that Shao Xi's victory in this game was really beautiful, and his victory was really speechless and convinced.
In shock, Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but softly recited the poem written by Shao Xi again.
There are golden cicadas hanging on the parasol trees, drinking wine and becoming immortals.
The clear breeze and bright moonlight rhyme, the autumn lake water and clouds.
"It was a wonderful autumn night by the lakeside. I raised my glass and had a drink. Facing the breeze and the bright moon, I felt my love between the clouds and the water. Although it was only the early autumn, I had already begun to feel the beauty of that autumn night. Haoyang was indeed right, Mr. His poetic talent is truly extraordinary, and it truly makes my little girl feel so convinced that she feels inferior to him."
Ruan Haoyang was also very happy at this time and quickly interjected: "Zhiqiu, look at what I told you about Mr. Shao's poetic talent last night. You didn't quite believe it yet. What now? Do you believe it now?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled shyly, glanced at Ruan Haoyang quietly, and said impatiently: "I believe it, I believe it! You didn't write the poem, why are you so proud?"
Shao Xi laughed at the side and said: "You two, please stop praising me. It's really a fluke, a fluke! Hahahaha!"
Ruan Haoyang picked up the wine pot, filled the three glasses, raised the glasses and said to Shao Xi: "This time, I and I lost to Mr. Shao, so we shall be punished by drinking. Zhiqiu and I will be punished with three glasses each, but I had a great time drinking this wine, and we are really lucky to be able to meet Mr. Shao."
Shao Xi also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "It's just a game while tasting wine and watching the scenery. How can there be any winning or losing? It's a blessing to take this opportunity to see the literary talent of the two of you. As the saying goes, wine meets each other. A thousand cups are too few for a good friend! How can Brother Ruan drink alone? Come on, come on! The three of us will drink this cup together."
"Young Master is right. Since a good friend is hard to find, let's have a good time over wine! My daughter and Haoyang use the wine in the cup to wish you a bright future, everything goes well, and happiness and good health. Young Master, please!"
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, please! Brother Ruan, please!"
"Master Shao, please!"
The three of them raised their glasses together and drank it all. There was a burst of laughter and joy in the square pavilion.
After the three of them had a few more drinks together, Shao Xi smiled and asked Ruan Haoyang: "Since you and I are each other's best friends, there are some things that I won't hide from my brother. It can be seen that Brother Ruan was also a member of the world in the past. , and from what I can see below, Brother Ruan’s martial arts is certainly not weak, but he doesn’t know how to stay away from the world and come to this beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live such a fairy-like life with his wife? Brother, I am so envious of you!"
Ruan Haoyang turned his head and glanced at Ye Zhiqiu, with a slightly bitter smile on his face. He shook his head and said to Shao Xi: "Master Shao, as you said, since we are mutual friends, I really shouldn't hide anything from you. I am from Yuan Prefecture and come from a prosperous family. I have practiced literature and martial arts since I was a child. Due to my excellent talent, when I was five years old, my father invited a strange man from the martial arts world to teach me a unique method of fast swordsmanship. This swordsmanship is called Zhanfeng. Legend has it that if you practice to the extreme, you can cut off the wind..."
When Ruan Haoyang talked about this, Shao Xi couldn't help but interjected: "Zhan Feng? From the name, you can tell that this sword technique is extremely fast. I guess the master is also an expert. Brother Ruan's sword technique must be extremely proficient now."
Ruan Haoyang nodded slightly and continued:
"My master taught me martial arts with great care. When my father saw that my master and apprentice had the same affection as father and son, he asked me to worship him as my adoptive father. In this way, the relationship between the two of us far surpassed that of master and apprentice. In this way, I He practiced swordsmanship for ten years under his careful guidance, and finally achieved success. But I didn't expect that my master was actually a man with a human face and a beast's heart. He stayed in my family for ten years to plot my family's wealth. When I was fifteen years old, he collaborated with others The Wandaomen killed my father and took away the family property. Because I was no match for them, I had no choice but to escape from home and live in exile..."
Hearing this, Shao Xi stood up suddenly, closed the folding fan in his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "Wandao Gate? Is this the Wandao Gate in Yuanzhou that Brother Ruan said? Is it the owner of the gate? But is he Wan Tong?"
Ruan Haoyang was shocked by Shao Xi's move. He didn't know what he said that made Shao Xi so excited. But when he heard Shao Xi ask about Wandaomen, he thought that he might have some trouble with Wandaomen, so he said to Shao Xi nodded.
Shao Xi said with a somewhat grim expression: "It's true that there are narrow paths between enemies! It seems that they are very accustomed to doing this kind of things like ransacking homes and exterminating families, killing people and setting fires."
Seeing Shao Xi's expression, Ruan Haoyang couldn't help but ask: "Why did Mr. Shao say this? Is it possible that you also have a grudge against the Wan Dao Sect?"
Shao Xi remembered that the group of men in black who chased him and Lao Wu on the grassland back then were probably the same group of people who Feng Yuyan remembered killing people and setting fire to Fengjiazhuang, so thinking about it now makes his teeth itch with hatred.
"Hmph! Of course there is a grudge! Even if I don't go to them now, they will come to me because I cut off the ears and fingers of their young sect master. Sooner or later, this debt between me and them will be settled. Let’s settle the matter properly. Brother Ruan, go on!”
Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu were stunned when they heard Shao Xi said that Wan Tian's ears and fingers were cut off. They did not expect that the young man with outstanding poetic talent in front of them was also a ruthless character.
Ruan Haoyang sighed and continued: "Fortunately, God did not fail me and allowed me to encounter a great opportunity. After another six years of hard training, I finally perfected my swordsmanship. So I returned to my home and fought with him all night, and finally let him die. He avenged his father's murder six years ago. But he didn't expect that he had already taken refuge in Wandaomen, and all the property he had taken from my family had been donated to Wandaomen. So after I killed him, Wandaomen In order to avenge him, not only did they mobilize all their troops to hunt me down throughout Yuanzhou, but they also invited a famous killer organization, the Ghost Emperor's Mansion..."
"Ghost Emperor's Mansion?" Shao Xi jumped up again.
Ruan Haoyang thought it was too difficult. Why was he always interrupted when he wanted to say something?
Shao Xi immediately realized that he had interrupted again, this was the third time! He quickly raised his hand to signal Ruan Haoyang to continue speaking.
Ruan Haoyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Four years ago, I came here to avoid their pursuit, and happened to meet Zhiqiu, so the two of them lived in seclusion here. Fortunately, this is Yuzhou, and the past four years have been peaceful. I think The two of us will live an ordinary life like this, and maybe one day they will give up their pursuit of me. Now that my revenge has been avenged, I don’t want to wander around in the world anymore. I just want to grow old hand in hand with Zhiqiu and spend the rest of my life together.”
After saying that, Ruan Haoyang raised his eyes and looked at Shao Xi, which seemed to mean, "I'm done, now you can interrupt."
Shao Xi smiled awkwardly, but couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ruan just said that it's not only the Wandaomen who are chasing you, but also the Ghost Emperor's Mansion! But there is a rumor in the world that anyone can kill you as long as you give money. The Ghost Emperor's Mansion that is willing to kill?"
"Exactly!"
