Chang Sheng

It is said that after Chang Sheng learned about the Sea God Sacrifice, he began to ask Tantaiyan about the Hundred Flowers Banquet, "Hey, Tantai, tell me about the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

"Okay." Tantaiyan took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, "The Hundred Flowers Banquet, to put it simply, is a banquet held by the Lord of the Hundred Flowers City to taste the spirit flowers on the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival in order to attract talents. And the reason why this Hundred Flowers Banquet attracts many monks to compete for a place to participate in the banquet is said to be because the spirit flowers on the Hundred Flowers Banquet have some rather miraculous effects."

"Oh, does Tantai know what the spirit flowers at the Hundred Flowers Banquet are for?" At this moment, Chang Sheng finally no longer cared about the taste of the spirit flowers, and she showed the qualities that a doctor should have.

"Oh, I happen to know something about this matter because my master has participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet." Tan Taiyan recalled a little bit, "I have heard from the master that the spirit flowers in this Hundred Flowers Banquet can not only Eliminating the erysipelas accumulated in the monk's body due to long-term consumption of elixirs can also expand the monk's sea of ​​consciousness to a certain extent."

"Oh, if that's the case, it's no wonder there will be many monks competing for places to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet." After learning from Tan Taiyan that the spirit flowers on the Hundred Flowers Banquet have such powerful effects, Chang Sheng finally understood. Doubts in my heart.

"By the way, Tantai. It is said that to compete for the place to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, there are two civil and military competitions. I know what the martial arts competition is, but what is the literary competition?"

"Is it a literary test? From what I know from the master, the literary test of this Hundred Flowers Feast can be said to be all-encompassing. The questions of this test include not only the knowledge of planting various flowers, but also questions about the language of various flowers. And because some flowers can be used as medicine, the topic of the essay test also includes some knowledge related to alchemy. Of course, because the city lord of Baihua City is more elegant, every time the essay test, she will let the participants make some flowers on the spot. poems and songs."

"Uh, that city lord is really elegant." Chang Sheng, who originally wanted to join in the fun, felt a little bit resigned when he heard that he was going to compose poetry and songs.

"Chang Sheng, don't be discouraged. As far as I know, most of the people who come to compete for the places in the Hundred Flowers Banquet are not good at the literary test. You still have a chance to win the literary test. At least, you can answer questions related to alchemy." Isn’t it the title? And the competition for the number of the Hundred Flowers Banquet only allows monks whose cultivation level is below the Nascent Soul stage to participate. According to your current cultivation level, you also have a chance to stand out in the martial arts test. In this way, as long as you perform normally, you must have There is a chance to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet at the City Lord's Mansion." Seeing that Chang Sheng was a little depressed, Tan Taiyan immediately comforted Chang Sheng.

"Really?" When she heard that everyone might not be good at the essay test, Chang Sheng's emotions rose again. However, when she thought about the original intention of holding the Hundred Flowers Banquet in Baihua City, she was a little bit uncomfortable about whether she could participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Confirmed, "By the way, Tantai, since this Hundred Flowers Banquet is organized by the City Lord of Hundred Flowers City to attract talents, does this mean that other people who do not want to join Hundred Flowers City cannot participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

"Oh, that's not true. The Hundred Flowers Banquet is just a means for Hundred Flowers City to demonstrate its own strength. In order to achieve a better publicity effect, Hundred Flowers City will not restrict other people from participating."

"Oh, that's really great!" Chang Sheng was finally relieved when he heard that Hundred Flowers City did not restrict other people from participating, "Hey, Tantai, shall we also go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet to join in the fun?"

"Okay, I'm also quite curious about those magical spirit flowers." Looking at Chang Sheng with expectant eyes, Tan Taiyan smiled slightly, then nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Time soon came to the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival. Early in the morning, after Chang Sheng and Tan Taiyan had breakfast at the inn, they went to the central square of the Hundred Flowers City to sign up for the competition for the number of places in the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

After the registration was over, Chang Sheng and Tan Taiyan learned about the specific arrangements for the competition from the notice posted by the City Lord's Mansion.

"Huh? Well, Tantai, the notice says that only those who have scored in the top [-] in the morning martial arts test can participate in the afternoon literary test?" After seeing the content of the notice clearly, Chang Sheng turned to his side in surprise Tan Taiyan said.

"Oh, it should be to save time. You see, this martial arts test also adopts a knockout system." After carefully studying the content of the notice, Tan Taiyan explained Chang Sheng's doubts.

"Really." After studying the content of the notice again, Chang Sheng agreed with Tan Taiyan's opinion, "However, judging from the fact that the martial arts test was arranged before the literary test in the competition, the city owner of Baihua City seems to be Pay more attention to the cultivation of the participants."

"Well, after all, the original intention of holding the Hundred Flowers Banquet is to attract talents, so naturally the cultivation of the participants will be more valued." After thinking about the origin of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Tan Taiyan completely agreed with Chang Sheng's opinion.

"Tantai, it seems that the lottery for the martial arts test is being held over there, shall we go there now?" Chang Sheng pointed to the people who were queuing up.

"okay."
