After Xia ping ‘an finished reciting the poem, the expression on aunt Gongsun’s face became complicated. Aunt Gongsun looked at the lake outside the boat with a little disappointment and frustration as she muttered to herself, ” the Golden millet is piled up in the South, and the trees are already arched. The grass in the qu Tang city is bleak. The banquet ends in a hurry, the moon rises from the East when the joy is extreme.” These two lines of the poem, unknowingly, two drops of tears fell from her eyes.
In the pleasure boat, everyone looked at Xia ping ‘an, then at aunt Gongsun. Those who had not finished their poems stopped helplessly and stopped struggling. In such a short time, even if they could come up with another poem, it would not be better than the one that Mei Zheng had just finished. Since that was the case, why should they bring it out and make a fool of themselves?
Moreover, judging from aunt Gongsun’s expression, she had clearly been moved by this poem.
Madam Gongsun only reminisced for a moment. When she realized that everyone in the pleasure boat was looking at her and Xia Pingan without saying a word, she suddenly smiled and said, ” I’m sorry. I just thought of the past and lost my composure. What do you all think of this poem? ”
Initially, yang qingchen felt that victory was within his grasp and that he would be able to steal the limelight and obtain the summoning position. However, he did not expect that the result would be revealed before he even had the chance to speak. Yang qingchen was holding back his anger and was naturally not convinced. After hearing aunt Gongsun’s words, yang qingchen immediately said, ” I feel that the first half of this poem is good and stunning. However, I feel that the second half of this poem is a little inappropriate. There are still some parts that I am not too clear about. I’d like to ask brother Mei for advice!”
“Oh, I wonder what brother yang doesn’t know?” Xia Pingan asked calmly.
“For some reason, the last few lines of brother Mei’s poem suddenly took a sharp turn and became sad. Also, among the eight thousand maidservants of the late Emperor, the Gongsun sword was the first in its craftsmanship. Fifty years seemed to have passed, and the royal family had fallen into chaos. Wasn’t this a little inappropriate? also, he didn’t know who the previous emperor was, and why had the royal family fallen into chaos? “This has nothing to do with lady Gongsun, right?” yang qingchen started to make trouble.
Xia ping ‘an blinked and spread out his hands. to be honest, I don’t know who the previous emperor was either. I just saw that when miss Gongsun’s sword was dancing, the royal palaces appeared one after another. It was magnificent, and thousands of maids were dancing with the sword. In the end, the prosperity was gone, but it was replaced by a bright moon and barren mountains. The smoke broke through the city, and the West Wind and thin grass. The artistic conception in the sword dance changed many times. I felt it, so I naturally wrote these few lines!
Seeing that Xia Pingan was able to justify himself, yang qingchen smiled and said, ” I see! After looking at the others, he didn’t say anything else. If he asked again, he would be at a disadvantage in the eyes of others.
However, even if yang qingchen didn’t say it, there would still be people who would say it.
Shu Longhui looked coldly at Xia Pingan and smiled, ” I don’t know what the Qutang Stone City in the last few lines of the poem has to do with miss Gongsun’s sword dance. Also, brother Mei, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to call yourself an old man? ”
Oh, the Qutang Stone City is a broken and barren Stone City that I’ve seen in a secret void realm. As it’s similar to the final artistic conception of miss Gongsun’s sword dance, I used it. As for this old man, ” Xia Pingan said as he took a look at aunt Gongsun, ” miss Gongsun, you’re beautiful and young. You’re in your Prime. As for me, alas, after more than 100 years, I’m no longer young. In front of miss Gongsun, it is not wrong for me to call myself this old man. Young master Shu long does not look very old, and if we really count based on age, it is not too much for young master Shu long to call me uncle!”
Shu Longhui’s eyes twitched. He didn’t think that Xia Pingan’s skin would be so thick, to actually take advantage of his nose and say that he wanted to be his elder. But Shu Longhui couldn’t find any words to refute Xia Pingan’s explanation, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
Of all the people, only Shu Longxi was secretly holding back her laughter.
The others looked at each other and could not find anything to say.
Upon seeing this, Madam Gongsun smiled. in that case, I’ll give this summoning position to Mister Mei!
“Many thanks, miss Gongsun!” Xia ping ‘an bowed slightly to aunt Gongsun, then walked directly to the statue of aunt Gongsun, which was shining with rainbow light, and kept it in the secret altar.
The sculpture was strange. As soon as Xia Pingan put the sculpture into the secret mandala, the sculpture glowed and flew straight to the shrine in Xia Pingan’s Secret mandala as if it was alive. It found a place and stood side by side with the other sculptures.
As the statue of aunt Gongsun appeared in the hieron’s Hall, the upper limit of the immortal power in the firmament algae-well in Xia Pingan’s hieron’s Hall increased from 9186 points to 9236 points.
Xia Pingan put away the summoning seat and returned to his seat. A burst of divine power surged in his body. It was a very comfortable feeling.
If he wanted to advance to the eight Suns realm, he couldn’t miss such an opportunity. If he didn’t take one step at a time, he wouldn’t be able to reach a thousand miles.
Shu Longxi blinked at Xia Pingan. Xia Pingan also blinked at her. The two of them had a tacit understanding and smiled.
……
In the next few hours, the group enjoyed wine and Dao with aunt Gongsun, listening to the zither and enjoying the scenery. The boat also sailed out of the lake and unknowingly sailed into a large river. Following the current, the boat easily passed through tens of thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally stopped at a ferry at the foot of the mountain.
there are still opportunities on this mountain. How many opportunities you can get depends on your fate. There are nine paths up the mountain. Each of you can choose one and go up the mountain on your own. after aunt Gongsun told the crowd, they left the boat. In the blink of an eye, the boat went downstream and disappeared behind a mountain range.
After leaving the ferry crossing, he walked along the stone steps for the whole night. After walking hundreds of stone steps, he saw an ancient stone tablet on one side of the mountain road. On the stone tablet, there were three big words: true martial mountain.
The stone steps behind the stone tablet split into nine small paths that led to nine different directions in the mountain. The mountainside was shrouded in clouds and fog, so the top of the mountain could not be seen. Everyone could only hear the cries of apes and birds.
haha, everyone, I’ll take my leave first. saber nine Zhang laughed and walked toward the road in the middle.
Dao Ziyun chose the path beside him.
The others looked at each other and each chose a path to enter the mountain.
“Be careful, Yingluo.” Shu Longxi glanced at Xia Pingan and reminded him.
“You too!”
“Don’t worry, I’m also an ethereal opening Summoner Wufu.” Shu Longxi smiled.
The two of them each chose a path into the mountain and went their separate ways.
The path that Shu Longxi had chosen was covered by trees and twisted peaks. It went left. The path that Xia ping ‘an had chosen followed the stream in the mountains. After walking a hundred steps on the path, he separated from the group and couldn’t see anyone else. When Xia ping’ an turned his head, he found that the path they had walked on had disappeared. Behind them, in the mist, the scenery was completely different from before. It was like they were in a large formation. This meant that they couldn’t turn back and could only continue forward.
Xia ping ‘an continued to walk up the mountain. After entering the forest for a few miles, Xia ping’ an saw the sound of tigers and birds chirping in the forest in front of him. Xia ping ‘an stepped forward and passed through a forest. He saw a small wooden house by the stream in front of him. An old man with a head full of white hair was on the grass in front of the small wooden house, stroking the head of a Tiger and imitating the Tiger’s movements at the same time.
Beside that Tiger, a red-crowned crane was flapping its wings. On a big tree nearby, an ape was rippling on the branch. A bear was sitting under the tree and gnawing a fruit. A brown elk was eating grass beside the old man. The five different animals were living in harmony here, which was quite interesting.
The old man also saw Xia ping ‘an and stopped at once. He greeted Xia ping’ an in a friendly manner and said, ” it’s been a long time since a young man has come to this mountain. May I know where this young man is from? ”
Oh, I’m from Dragon Horn city, Xuanji, ” Xia Pingan said as he walked over. what are you doing, Sir? ”
The old man sighed and said, ” it’s hard for people to live in this world. They die of old age and illness. I’ll find a way to get rid of their suffering in this mountain!
