Smile and swing sword

Eagerness flashed in Wu Yun's eyes, and he boasted: "There is one more thing that must not be missed. In addition to the three winners, the three top bartenders in Xingge City also participated in the final round. Huan, and most of the previous winners are also brewers who come here for fame, and the result is not satisfactory. In my opinion, poetry meets a confidant, and a sword finds a hero. This Quanmo wine is obviously waiting for me, an infatuated person!"

Hearing this, Luo Qian curled his lips and sneered: "It's better to be like this, if I win, I will never give you a share."

The two of them had a quarrel, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the reception. There was no limit to the first test, and there were a lot of people joining in the fun. The four of Chi Shen received their number plates, and they were already [-] away. They waited for half a day before being brought into the arena , scattered at different locations.

Chi Shen looked around, and there were dozens of shallow small square wooden boxes in front of each table, which contained fifteen kinds of wild fruits and fifteen mountain flowers, each table was different, and there was one taller than A small bamboo tube in the palm of your hand, a pot of water, a stove, and a small iron sand pot.The test question is to use local materials at will, and you can make a cup of scented tea, fruit tea, or scented fruit tea. The judge will select the top [-] best-tasting products from the finished products to enter the next round of semi-finals.

After Chi Shen got the question, he smiled wryly. He thought it was just a matter of pure identification, and he was full of confidence with the help of inkstone. He didn't want to come out like this, and couldn't help but reflect on himself. Willing to lose in the primary election, after much deliberation, simply pick out a few flowers and leaves with a slightly bitter taste, stir-fry them until they are dried and ground into powder, carefully sieve and brew them into tea, and then add a sweet fragrance Cut the fruit into pieces and add it.

This cup of tea is the easiest to make in the field, and the ingredients are even less, but it is completed in just one cup of tea.At this time, there were still many contestants who hadn't even decided on the selection of materials. Seeing that Chi Shen quickly submitted the works, it was inevitable to sneer and disdain.But after all the entries were submitted, the servant posted the shortlist, and the name of Chi Shen actually entered the top three rows, higher than Xiang Tianyou and Wu Yun.

In the second round, hundreds of people competed at the same time. What Luo Qian said about distinguishing between ink and ink was not so simple, but that the contestants had to write poems and paint impromptuly. Only three of the hundred people were selected, which showed the high requirements and fierce competition.

This test question put Chi Shen in a dilemma again. When it comes to poetry and poetry, he is far inferior to the natives of this world in terms of talent and acquired teaching. He is even ignorant of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. .

Chi Shen's thoughts turned sharply, and only a copy of the spiritual plant illustration book appeared in his mind. They were all the medicinal materials and spiritual herbs that he wrote down when he browsed medical books and classics in the past. It's just that it's absolutely impossible for Chi Shen to suddenly draw a picture with a wonderful pen, so he decided to copy a painting from the memory in his mind to admire himself.

Lonely self-admiration is nothing else but a spiritual plant. This flower means solitary light and self-illumination. The place to live is always an empty valley. Except for the essence of the sun and the moon, the essence of the earth and the water spring, there is no living thing. Once you feel the breath of other creatures, you will die. withered.The shape of Gu Fang Zi Appreciation's flower is extremely graceful and ethereal, and there is only one unique genius in this world—Yao Yuanzun, who picked it before it collapsed and tried its best to maintain its life span of one day. .

Ever since Chi Shen decided to learn medicine and medicine to help Xiang Tianyou, he has been diligent in studying and studying. Yao Yuanzun is famous and has many honors, but anyone who is inspired to be a pharmacist is like a thunderbolt, so he looks for the solitary beauty and uses it as medicine. It is also the target of countless pharmacists, and Chi Shen is no exception. Occasionally, when he falls asleep, he will always be pleasantly surprised by meeting this Lingzhi a few times.

The appearance of being lonely and self-admired has long been engraved in Chi Shen's heart. Now that he has made up his mind, he no longer hesitates. He picks up the pen and dips in the ink to describe it calmly, which can be said to be completed in one go. People, accounted for a small lottery in the written test.

Xiang Tianyou and Luo Qian put down their pens almost indiscriminately, and the four of them waited outside the arena, inevitably having a discussion.Luo Qian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Only choose three out of a hundred works, and there will always be one out of the three of you, so tell me now what kind of ghosts you have drawn, lest you won't believe the results later .”

Chi sighed deeply: "I only drew a spiritual plant in the treasure book of divine herbs, I'm afraid I will lose the selection. Listening to what you said yesterday, I originally thought that the competition was just a matter of debate."

Luo Qian chuckled, "No wonder you handed in the paper early. To be harsh, you don't even count as painting, it's just copying. Besides, how can tea making and painting not count as discerning things? No, it's more elegant. Deeper."

Chi Shen nodded in agreement, but Xiang Tianyou asked Wu Yun, "Brother is the first to hand in the test, but you have a plan?"

Wu Yun rubbed his chin and smiled: "That's natural. Since it's a wine party, how can there be no wine? I drew a large jar of full-ink wine as soon as I read the test questions. The extremely black is definitely of high quality, implying that this year's I clicked out Quanmo, fulfilling the hope of both parties, which made those judges and brewers laugh so much when they saw it!"

Hearing the words, the three of Chi Shen had their own weird expressions. Luo Qian was originally thinking of making a joke, but after thinking about it, Wu Yun's slanted sword this time, it is hard to guarantee that he will not hit the receptionist's heart. Nothing compares to a jar of full ink wine.

The list was posted later, and Luo Qian was the first to rush forward to look for it regardless of his demeanor. His name happened to be ranked third, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the two names on top of him were both Strangers, it can be seen that all three of Wu Yun lost the election.

When Chi Shen saw his and Xiang Tianyou's rankings, he was surprised and regretted: "I barely made it into the top ten, which is unexpected. My brother is ranked fifth, only a little short of it. What a pity."

Xiang Tianyou was very free and easy, and he admitted generously: "A slight loss is a thousand miles away, although it is only two places behind, but in terms of depth, it is far behind. Fortunately, we just wanted to join in the fun temporarily. Brother Ang, I'm afraid I'm in a bad mood."

Before Chi Shen had time to see Wu Yun's ranking, Luo Qian said with a grin: "Hey, I don't know who said they want to be the first, but they don't want to be the last. I'm afraid the judge's mouth is crooked, but he's not happy." , but angry!"

Wu Yun's wish was in vain, and he became even more listless after being ridiculed, his bushy eyebrows were furrowed and he kept sighing, Luo Qian squinted and snorted, "What are you sighing for, haven't I qualified for some ink?"

Wu Yun glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that even if you ordered Quan Mojiu, you wouldn't give me a sip?"

"You are willing to listen to what I said!" Luo Qian said angrily, "Then I said a lot of other things, why did you ignore them all?"

Wu Yun choked, scratched his head and looked at Chi Shen and Xiang Tianyou, begging them to help him, Xiang Tianyou had saved a message to watch the fun, and was happy to add to the confusion: "It's easy to say, if Luo Qianzhen points out Excellent wine, if you want to drink it, Brother Ang will have to pay a price. As long as you can afford it, Luo Qian will not be stingy if you want to come. I see that except me, Brother Yun and Luo Qian, the rest are from all over the world People who love wine, if Quan Mojiu is really pointed out by the other two, I am afraid that they will not be willing to share it with others so easily."

Wu Yun thought for a moment that the truth was true, so he put down his face and moved closer to Luo Qian's side to flatter him: "You are telling my brother very well, what kind of friendship do we have? I feel unlucky just looking at the names of the two above you. Hey, come on." If the two of them come to beg for your Quan Mojiu, they must think that I am waiting for you."

Following Luo Qian's wishes, he finally let go and smiled, "I'm just trying to save face from my acquaintances. If you want to have a drink in the future, you have to promise me one thing. If you do, I'll give it to you naturally."

The top three masterpieces came out in response to the voices of everyone, and they were hung on the side of the list for people to compare and appreciate. No. 1 is well deserved. The movement and stillness are suitable, and the scenery transformed by ink is like a living thing, which is amazing.

The second is a poem. Chi Shen couldn't continue to read after only reading the first two sentences, because there was too much fighting spirit in it, and those who looked directly were disturbed by it. The pressure increased exponentially as he looked down. It's not hard to take pain!

Luo Qian's work is a bit ordinary in comparison, it is a picture of full lying flowers in the shade, but the flower is jade grape, one of the twelve most precious flower species in Jiyuan, its color is pure and full, and it is the king of flowers, blue jade grape .The sapphire grapes need to be watered with the energy of primordial stones, regardless of day or night, so there is indeed a layer of soft mud under the flowers, and the grapes are perfectly round, all of which are top grade.

It is extravagant to use thousands of high-grade primordial stones to supply a few sapphire grapes, which is far beyond the knowledge of the spectators present. At this time, in the painting, one of the sapphire grapes is being pressed by a white cat with a full belly. Under the body, the flowers and leaves are messy.This cat is snow white and cute, other than that, there is nothing special about it, but one of its ears is high, while the left one is soft and collapsed, it was injured and disabled one ear, no matter how noble it is, it is still white It was flawed, and the price was not high, not to mention that it was nothing more than an ordinary kitten.

When everyone saw this scene, there was a sense of pity in their hearts for no reason, and their faces unconsciously showed envy. They regretted that the kitten destroyed the sapphire grapes, but they couldn't use the thousands of high-grade primordial stones for themselves, and they were even more jealous. The owner of this flower and this cat is rich, and others may not be able to enjoy the money he spends on boring entertainment for a day in ten or a hundred years.

Even Chi Shen could see that something was wrong, looked at Luo Qian hesitant to speak, Wu Yun was even more thoughtful, Luo Qian knew that they were strange, but responded with silence without saying a word.

Xiang Tianyou's eyes changed and he was waiting to be tested, but he saw a small servant coming out to announce people to enter the arena, so he had to give up for the time being.Although there were only six people in the competition, three wine masters from Xingge City, and three passers-by, the center of the arena was not empty. Instead, six long tables were used to encircle the arena, and the table was filled with square ink cubes. , there are quite a lot of small and exquisite curio inks of various colors, and the eight major medicinal inks are available. Although the quality of self-made literati inks is different, they are unique in each piece.

The ink must be selected before the ink is selected. Before the ink selection, the master wine master has something to say, "Everyone knows that the ink-spotting wine party has reached today's event. It has been more than [-] years since the ink-staining wine was not ordered. In order to help the competition Whoever wins wins, and this time the party specially spent a lot of money to add a reward, as long as someone can point out the whole ink wine, they will give a piece of the first three pagoda cards!"

As soon as the four words came out, the audience was shocked!Chi Shen was so curious that he didn't dare to ask, looking at the expressions of the people around him, none of them knew what it was, which seemed strange to him, the only person who didn't know.

Xiang Tianyou saw that Chi was deeply confused, and thought that his origin was unknown, so he understood, pretending to sigh, but it was actually an explanation: "Although the Manyue Pagoda is in the Cangyan area, its reputation runs through the world. The most rare treasures of the five domains are placed on several floors, and there are even rumors that the top ten ancient holy artifacts are all in the first one, but they are not allowed to enter without tower cards, and trespassers will die."
