Soon, half a stick of incense passed, and the sound of drizzle could be heard very clearly in the silence of everyone. The sound of raindrops and rustling on the steps could not be heard without stopping.
"The time is up. There is no need for the reviewers to read the essay. Let them come directly to announce the essay. Everyone present will make the evaluation. The winner will be decided by you."
City Lord He Shuguang announced loudly, and the people present whispered in praise that this was a good idea.
At the same time, the drizzle in the sky also stopped, and instead of the sound of rain, the scene was filled with more human voices.
"Do you invite me first or should I?"
Xu Shengming looked at Canglong. He represented the glory of Shengming Academy. How could he lose to this unknown person?
"you first."
Cang Long motioned for him to come first, but his humble character remained unchanged and he always came last.
Seeing this, Xu Shengming was not polite and walked up directly. He unfolded a piece of poetry and said:
The young man was listening to Yuge upstairs, the tent was dimly lit by red candles.
A young man in his prime listens to the rain in a boat. The river is wide and the clouds are low. The wild geese cry out in the west wind.
Now, listening to the rain at the foot of the monk's hut, there are already stars on his temples.
The joys and sorrows are always ruthless, every step of the way, every moment until dawn.
"Haha...that last sentence is really wonderful."
Combined with the rain scene, the boat scene and the sound of rain on the steps, the judge couldn't help but admire the last sentence, how clever it was.
The audience was full of admiration. They listened to the changes in the rain since childhood, telling the story of the joys and sorrows of life. The sound of raindrops is like the sadness in the heart, letting it drip down.
He Shuguang's face was full of smiles. This poem was indeed a masterpiece and he was really talented.
"Can you be my apprentice? This poem is not ordinary. It is difficult to write a better one than this one." Ding Kai even thought that it was impossible to win. This poem is really a masterpiece.
Bai Yu said nothing about this. Since Canglong decided to compete and did not hide his arrogance, it proved that he was still confident of winning with absolute strength, otherwise he would not compete unless he got carried away.
"it's your turn."
Xu Shengming stood on top with a smile and signaled to Canglong, "My song has been read out, and everyone praised it. Can your song surpass my song "Listening to the Rain"?
Cang Long stepped up and walked up. Ding Kai, who looked at him expressionlessly, felt that something was wrong. Was he unsure? Bai Yu took a deep breath and sat down, his heartbeat speeding up unconsciously.
I saw Canglong holding paper writings in his hands and saying:
One update after another.
There are banana lights outside the window, and there is no limit to emotion at this moment.
Dreams are hard to come true, hate is hard to put down.
If you don't know the truth, people won't like to hear it. The empty steps will drip to the light.
As soon as Canglong finished speaking, the whole place fell into silence. No one even whispered. Is this about rain? Seems to be!
"Great article!"
The city lord, He Shuguang, sat blankly on the chief throne and said this unconsciously, but his voice spread throughout the stage.
Someone in the audience burst into applause first, and then the applause sounded like thunder. Bai Yu's eyes were a little wet unconsciously. A talented man with such talent turned out to be his apprentice. He never knew that Canglong had such literary talent. He didn't even dare to think about it. think.
Xu Shengming's originally smiling face seemed to be frozen. He suddenly stopped laughing. The rain was the same but the meaning of the rain was so different. How could this be possible?
"The title means rain, but there is no rain in this poem but there is rain everywhere. The highest realm of poetry is this." He Shuguang couldn't help but admire, this poem is really amazing.
"The previous song is indeed a superior piece. The title this time means rain. The meaning of rain in the second song is stronger than that in the previous song, so the second song "Rain" wins."
The judge and the city lord agreed. Everyone on stage and off stage knew that the winner was decided. This song "Rain" is a rare masterpiece.
Applause, cheers, drums, and the festive sound of firecrackers made the whole audience cheer.
Ding Kai smiled happily and shook Bai Yu. He was also very excited. He really didn't expect it, he never expected that he would turn the tables against the odds, hahaha...
Bai Yu also had a smile on his face. In the future, his master might have to be called his disciple, which made him lose face, haha...
If he meets someone when he goes out in the future and mentions that the winner of the poetry competition is his apprentice, then he is a master who doesn't know how to do it. What a shame...
Overall, it was a gratifying thing. He was also happy for Canglong. After all, he also had his own glory.
"Congratulations! With such a talented apprentice, your master is really blessed." Yi Jifeng also joked with a smile.
People like Li Ruoxue and Wen Sheng all came up to congratulate him. No one expected that his apprentice had such talent and won the championship in this competition, which was quite amazing.
Many people didn't know what was going on. They were congratulating this person on the viewing platform. It turned out that the person on the literary platform was his apprentice. Everyone in the academy also came to congratulate him. This made Bai Yu a little at a loss. This was a bit sudden, but it was also Thank you all.
Xu Shengming on the stage knew that he had lost, but he was convinced that he had lost.
"I lost, congratulations!"
"Your poetry is also very good, I just won slightly."
Canglong and Xu Shengming exchanged a few words of greetings. The city lord He Shuguang ordered three masterpieces, "Yue Yu", "Looking Hometown" and "Rain", to be hung on the platform. The final winner of this poetry and song competition was Canglong. But good poems and articles will not be buried, they are all displayed for people to enjoy.
…
A group of people returned to the academy happily, beating gongs and drums and cheering all the way. No one expected that the winner this time would be an attendant from Zhanwu Academy, which was simply unbelievable.
Back in the small courtyard, the little red-haired boy was frightened by the sudden excitement. Why was it so lively all of a sudden? Later I found out that Senior Brother Canglong had won the first place in the poetry and poetry competition, and he jumped up and down with joy.
"Let's all have a drink together tonight to celebrate." Bai Yu said with a smile. Whatever he said today was worthy of happiness.
As the little red-haired girl started to prepare the dishes for a big banquet in the courtyard tonight, Xiaoman was called over and started busy together.
There was a lot of excitement on the hill. Many people came over to know the situation for unknown reasons. In a short time, the news spread throughout the academy, and many people felt that it was quite powerful.
At the dinner, Ao Han teased: "You kid, how secretive are you? Even we don't know you have this ability. You hide it quite deeply. Tell me what other secrets you have hidden?"
Canglong said with a smile: "I was originally a mortal who studied. It was only because Master accepted me as his disciple that I became what I am today. I have no other skills. Except for the ink in my belly, the rest of the skills were all taught by Master."
Haha, everyone was joking and kept talking about Master.
"Then if you don't read a good book, why will you end up living outside?"
For someone who can read and is as talented as him, at least his family is not bad, but when he met Canglong, he was a poor beggar living on the street.
"I was forced by others and my family was in trouble, so I was forced to seek life."
Canglong said with some sadness that he would end his hatred with his own hands.
"So you gave up all your talents and chose to practice cultivation instead of taking the imperial examination?"
"Yes, because the disciple found that having talent can't change anything at all. Only with big fists can people listen to you. Without strength, anything you say is empty talk. Even your own life may not be in your own hands, so I want to control it. My life will no longer be taken care of by others like an ant."
"Well said, you should control your own life. This is the most basic consciousness of a person."
Yongyan praised Canglong's words, and many people present nodded, then raised their wine bowls and drank~!
"Excuse me, is Kui here?"
Just when everyone was happy, two people came to the entrance of the small courtyard, as if they were looking for Kui.
"What's the matter?" Bai Yu looked over and asked, who is coming to see him this late at night? This banquet is full of acquaintances, not strangers.
"We are servants of the Fang family and the Tao family, and we came here specially to deliver things."
thing?
At this time, Bai Yu realized that it was the people from the Fang family and the Tao family who had fulfilled their promise, hehe! What a happy day.
Bai Yu walked out to the door of the small courtyard and took two rings. He used his spiritual sense to explore the contents inside. Sure enough, it was true to his word. He had ten million crystal stones plus some high-quality healing elixirs and cultivation resources. He had made a fortune!
"Would you like to come in and sit down?"
"No, let's take our leave now."
The two of them turned around and left with bad expressions. Bai Yu watched them leave with a smile. The Fang family and the Tao family were probably so angry that they vomited blood this time, but they had to give it to save face, haha.
Bai Yu returned to his seat with a smile, the happiness on his face could not be concealed.
"To tell you the truth, I haven't given it to you yet!"
Yi Jifeng said with a smile, and was about to have sex with Bai Yu while holding the bowl. Bai Yu held up the bowl and said with a smile, "Forget it, it's just a favor to a friend."
"Then do I just owe someone a favor?"
Li Ruoxue also said with a smile, which made Yongyan, Nangong Jinxuan and Daman not quite understand what it meant. What kind of favor do these people owe this guy?
"You can't do that. I have to use the supernatural species. I'm really sorry." Bai Yu also said with a smile. This favor cannot be ignored.
"Do you have all five different attributes?"
"Yes!"
Li Ruoxue guessed and asked, and Bai Yu's answer was quite straightforward, which made everyone present stunned. A pervert is indeed a pervert. It's no wonder that such a talent can ring the question bell seven times.
"Would you like me to find one for you?" Ding Kai said jokingly. No one would be willing to make friends with such a gifted person, unless they were enemies.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you!" Bai Yu said with a haha smile, which made Ding Kai feel uncomfortable. I just made a joke. Don't take it seriously. I can't take it seriously.
…
"By the way, can we take on the mission and go out?" Ao Ruan said.
After these few days of practice, I have learned almost everything that can be learned in the four realms. Now I can take on some low-level tasks to earn contribution points.
They are considered to be the top students. They don't have much to learn. They don't lack any skills or resources. What they lack now is the contribution points to go to the Kung Fu Building to learn the skills.
Those students who are less talented and weak have more to learn, and the elders have more to teach, and they cannot take on tasks in a short period of time.
"Go to the mission building tomorrow to see if there are any missions available, and go out and do the missions." Ding Kai agreed with this statement. Lao Dai Academy can't do it either. It's not the annual soul-catching competition yet, so it's still early!
Everyone nodded in agreement and just went out to explore.
