I'm the villain in the book

On the other hand, the literati in Daning, the best one will only reach the number of twenty.

even......

"Pfft!"

In the gazebo, a young man with star-browed eyebrows and sharp eyes was slumped on the ground blankly, muttering in an almost desperate tone.

"I, I can't do it, I can't do it..."

"..."

This son has the same surname as Shen Ran, named Shen Lu, he is a well-known local talent in Shuzhou, and he just passed the provincial examination last year.

The sub-topic he drew was "Tide". Although it was a little difficult, it was by no means impossible.

So his current performance only shows one thing - he is afraid.

Shen Ran, who had won eight games in a row, was like an insurmountable giant mountain, causing Shen Lu to lose his sense of proportion before he even started.

In fact, this was considered an act of surrender, but no one laughed at him.

There was no accusation or anger.

Perhaps everyone, like him, has long since lost confidence in defeating Shen Ran.

"If you can't make it, then replace it with another one."

Glancing at Shen Lu, who had a broken heart, Shen Ran raised his eyes and looked at another person.

But this person only looked at Shen Ran for a moment, and then took a step back trembling.

This step has already declared his failure.

"..."

The black robes floated in the breeze. Although there were still many people standing at this moment, they seemed to be a bit shorter than Shen Ran.

On the shore of the lake, countless people turned their heads in frustration, sadness, or despair, and couldn't bear to see Chinese scholars suffer such humiliation.

Until a tall and straight figure slowly stood up from the boat.

"enough."

"Master Shen, I will write this poem instead."

"..."

This poem, for me to write.

The small voice, the six words, instantly ignited the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts like a shot in the arm.

Yup!

We still have Su San!

Daning hasn't lost yet! !

Right now, no one is entangled in issues such as bullying the small by the big and bullying the weak by the strong.

If Shen Ran cannot be defeated tonight, the Daning poetry world will fall to the bottom from now on, and there will be no bright future.

Thousands of eyes focused on Su Wu, which carried an unparalleled weight.

This is a dispute between the poets of the two countries, a dispute between the literati between the two countries, and if it is more serious, it is... a dispute between the two countries.

The people who came here for a glimpse of the poetic demeanor would never have imagined that things would develop to this point.

But they didn't have any other thoughts in their hearts at this time, they just prayed repeatedly.

Su Sheng, for the sake of Daning Wendao, for the dignity of Daning literati...

Please, make sure you win...

Chapter 196 Spring Dragon Poetry Meeting, Spring River Moonlight Night ([-])

From the ordinary "fan meeting" to today's contest about the dignity of the Daning poetry circle.

A Dali native who appeared suddenly gave the Spring Dragon Poetry Club a completely different meaning.

At present, no one thinks that Su Wu can surely win, but no matter what, this poet sage must not lose.

Because he is the last and only hope of the literati in Daning.

For Daning literati, winning or losing this competition may be more important than their own lives.

But for the other party, Shen Ran himself, all of this is just a small obstacle in his practice of proving the Tao through literature.

Today he came for Su Wu.

It's good to win.

It doesn't matter if you lose.

I'm still young, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Looking up at Su Wu who looked like an old fairy, Shen Ran took a deep breath, and bowed his hands respectfully to the former.

"Su Sheng, please!"

A word "please" pierced the night sky, causing a gust of wind to pass by.

Thousands of people held their breath tightly, as if they were afraid of disturbing Su Wu's mood.

However, the latter did not keep everyone waiting too long.

After about seven or eight breaths, he took a light step and stood upright on the bow of the boat.

Long beard, long sleeves, white hair, white clothes... The figure swayed in the wind, as if echoing the bright moon in the sky.

After taking a look at Shen Ran, Su Wu slowly opened his mouth, and softly recited a Qilu in a relieved and calm tone.

His voice is not loud, even a little small.

But when this poem like a breeze was sent to everyone's ears, it showed the prosperity of a dynasty.

"The spring tide did not flatten the beach last night, and the flowers and colors were half-filled with the rain."

"The wild goose calls the Lantern Festival back to the northern part of the border, and the new society goes to the south of the Yangtze River with Yan."

"There is no need to visit flowers and trees when you are not happy, and why buy a medicine basket when you are sick."

"Only answer the public's loyalty to the world, and teach the children to make crowns and hairpins."

"..."

After a poem is recited, the audience is silent.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, and...

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

The originally calm surface of the lake suddenly burst into countless bubbles as if it was boiling, followed by a flash of golden light!

The fish leaps over the Longmen, the sea and the sky are wide, and a poem is heard all over the world!

290 Nine-Tailed Golden Carps Jump!

......

The spring tide overflows the beach, and the flowers are half open after the rain.

The Lantern Festival is far away, Du Rixin is here, the geese return to Saibei, and the Yan arrives in the south of the Yangtze River.

Why should you be unhappy?What about sickness?

In this life, I only want the word "public loyalty" and the joy of my children.

Two sentences describe scenery and two sentences describe love.

There is not a word of praise throughout the article, but it seems that a picture scroll of a peaceful and prosperous age is unfolding in front of everyone's eyes.

Only answer the public's loyalty to the world, and teach the children to make crowns and hairpins.

Facing the almost arrogant Shen Ran, Su Wu actually responded with such a poem without the slightest hostility, which really showed his extraordinary mind and pattern.

The battle between you and me is just a trivial matter, I have no intention of competing with you, I just tell you about the prosperous age of Daning.

"..."

"it is good!!!"

I don't know who was the first to yell, and immediately the entire Sun Moon Lake boiled like a frying pan.

The long-suppressed mood of the crowd was finally released crazily after a poem by Su Wu triggered the 290 nine golden carps to leap.

"Su Sheng is worthy of being a saint! This poem is too ambitious!"

"This is the heart of a saint!"

"No one in the world can match this kind of talent and mind!"

"290 Nine Golden Carp! Win is guaranteed!"

"Da Ning's face is saved!!"

"..."

Some people shouted praises in relief, some people chanted in a low voice obsessively, and some people have already started discussing the words and sentences of this poem with their friends, and the allusive mood.

Of course, many people have not forgotten Shen Ran.

"Shen! Su Sheng has finished writing a poem! It's your turn!"

"If you can't do it, leave immediately!"

"You are not ashamed to lose to Su Sheng!"

"..."

Although many people hated Shen Ran just now, they were not too aggressive at the moment.

This may be because of Shen Ran's poetic talent, or it may be because everyone in Daning has put themselves in the position of "winners" at this moment.

The Mets have become more forgiving as winners confront losers.

but......

Faced with the urging of the crowd, Shen Ran did not have any emotional fluctuations.

Taking a deep look at Su Wu, he knew that it would be difficult for him to win this game.

But since he has traveled thousands of miles from Dali to come here, he must give it a try.

And at this moment, what do I want to say...

Unlike Su Wu, who had a smooth journey and became a "sage" when he grew old, Shen Ran's life path was much more bumpy.

So although he could understand the phrase "Only answer the public's loyalty to the world, and teach children to make crowns and hairpins", but he knew that he could not write such an open-minded poem.

But, why do you want to be the same as Su Wu?

I am no worse than anyone else, and I also have a different understanding of this world than a "sage"!

Standing in the pavilion, looking at the bright moon above his head, he pondered for a long time.

Suddenly, he seemed to be talking to himself in a low voice:

"If there is no one in the house to share a cup with, who will open the peaches and plums in the hometown."

"..."

Poetry?

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and immediately savored the meaning in this poem.

Far away in Daning, Shen Ran is indeed a guest, and "no one shares a drink" undoubtedly reveals this loneliness.

And "Who Opens the Homeland of Tao Li" not only raises the feeling of being alone in a foreign land to a higher level, but also vaguely shows a sense of arrogance.

In all fairness, although these two sentences are good, they are not as meaningful as Su Wu's poem.

Poetry is about embodying emotions in the scene, so that it can be more subtle and resonate with the listeners.

But right now, Shen Ran actually omitted the step of "scenery writing".

It's expressive from the beginning, but is there anyone who can understand this "love"?
