”Miss said that we will produce a couplet for this first stage. We only need to match it with a single sentence!” An old man walked out from Mo Clan. He was the steward of the Mo Clan, and when everyone heard his words, they could not help but question, ”A couplet?”
Having experienced so much on the path of cultivation, they had long since forgotten all about the Four Books and Five Classics.
The supervisor said with a smile, ”Martial arts are prevalent today, and the literary style has declined. Martial arts cultivation cultivates a person's strength, and the literary style is the cultivation of a person's self-restraint.”
”Miss is a girl favored by the heavens, so naturally, you have to find a man who possesses both martial and civil skills. His self-control is only a part of it, if his self-control is insufficient, wouldn't that be wronging my Mo Clan's First Miss?”
When these words came out of the mouth of the crowd, everyone commented on it, but Mo Zixuan stroked his beard, obviously showing his agreement.
”I'll go first! ”Young miss, please make a pair!”
Mo Yiyan pointed his finger at the pavilion, and the couplet appeared out of thin air, ”Ying Yan's emerald red body melded into one everywhere!”
The young man laughed, ”Miss, this couplet is not difficult, the rain, wind, rain, wind, flowers, leaves, year, night, day, and day.”
”Next!”
Without waiting for Mo Yiyan to speak, a man dressed in coarse hemp clothing laughed, ”Rain, wind, wind, flower, leaves, year, day and night, young miss, isn't this counted as earlier?”
The steward's face immediately fell, ”The young miss has just said this. Someone, pull this person out and use an immortal staff to reprimand him for eighty punishments!”
”Why, why!” Not long after, this person's miserable cries could be heard. The voice went from high to low, and then it went completely silent. It was most likely because he had stopped breathing.
”A repeating couplet will not be used by Miss. Also, if anyone dares to cause trouble, this person will end up as the result. There will be no more examples.” The supervisor said in a serious tone.
Mo Yiyan waved his hand to indicate him to retreat, and the manager took a step back.
”If you don't mind, the flowers will bloom before the court.”
”Please respond to the next candidate!”
The Crown Prince of Heavenly Dragon Empire, Zhou Yu, looked at Lin Xiao thoughtfully. ”Brother Lin, this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?
Lin Xiao groaned. Although his Northern Profound Immortal Sect was strong, they were all martial cultivators. This kind of literary talent was even more of a headache than cultivating immortal ancient meridian.
He transmitted his voice to the elder behind him, ”Hurry up, old man. Find him for me. Don't let me make a fool of myself in front of Yuyan.”
Zhou Yu smiled, he had calculated that Lin Xiao would make a fool of himself.
The clan elder behind Lin Xiao coughed softly, he glanced at Mo Zixuan and the other two and realized that none of them had noticed him, so he activated his Primordial Spirit and escaped into the void.
”Where should I go to find these words?”
”Let's go to the Scripture Pavilion. I don't believe that they won't be able to find it!”
Before long, this sentence had eliminated many people. It was Lin Xiao's turn, his head was filled with black lines, and he repeatedly coughed several times. Zhou Yu stepped forward, concerned, and said, ”Does Brother Lin want to say that he has caught a cold and his body is not feeling well? He wants to rest for a while!
Lin Xiao felt a chill in his heart, and an excuse that he had found with great difficulty was given out by Zhou Yu. How did you know about what he had just said, yet you gritted your teeth and swallowed it back.
”Damnit, why isn't Elder Tian Ling here yet!”
On the other side, Elder Tian Ling had flipped the entire Scripture Pavilion upside down. Finally, he opened the pagoda. There was a book from the ancient era at the bottom of the pagoda.
Normally, it was completely useless. It was neither a cultivation technique nor a forbidden technique.
”I didn't think that this book would be so useful. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have used it to lay the foundation for the Scripture Pagoda. I must keep it safe in the future!”
Only after he grew up and read it to Lin Xiao did Lin Xiao stammer and stutter. All kinds of excuses, all kinds of diseases, Zhou Yu had already laughed it off.
