Chapter 198: The Test (I)
"My father handed over the Wencai banquet to me to organize, do you have any opinions? ”
Somewhere in the water curtain, the dragon girl Ao Ling'er said to the group of dragon sons and dragon girls.
"Seventeen, there is no problem with you. ”
"That's right, Xiao Seventeen, you are the most qualified person in our dragon clan for a thousand years, and the Wencai banquet is very beneficial to our dragon clan. ”
"In the past, the overlord gained the wisdom of the wandering people and broke through to the realm of the Xuanlong in one fell swoop, but it was comparable to the real dragon. ”
"Okay, the overlord is already a matter of the previous generation, let's not talk nonsense, but it is to open up a way for our dragon clan. ”
Ao Linger said indifferently.
A group of dragon sons and dragon girls are heading towards the Wencai banquet.
At this moment, in the literary banquet, all the people have already taken their seats, but the scholars are still discussing, Xu Wei chose to sit next to an old acquaintance, it is the storyteller Old Man Li.
This man seemed to know something, and it didn't seem surprising that he was here, and he was quite old among the people.
It seems that the mystery of the story of the scattered people and the tyrant is solved here.
Xu Wei saw that Old Man Li didn't care about himself, but he was not in a hurry.
The dragon clan is the bell spirit of heaven and earth, the natural man is handsome and handsome, and each dragon girl is very beautiful and fascinating.
Xu Wei has also seen a lot of beauties, but he was still shocked, not to mention the rest of the people.
"My Dragon Palace is hospitable, but also a good literati and ink writers, you are all talented and virtuous, there is a banquet in the Dragon Palace, which is opened every fifty years, and you are specially invited. ”
Dragon girl Ao Ling'er sat in the first place, her tone softened a little, and said to the people in the audience.
Being complimented like this, these literati still feel very good in their hearts.
"Seventeen princesses of the West Sea, I don't know what the test is this time?"
Old man Li's eyes shone with wisdom, and he asked directly at Ao Ling'er.
Ao Ling'er is a leng, once in fifty years, which is almost the lifespan of the human race, and there are still people who know about the Wencai Banquet. At this moment, he looked at Old Man Li, and his eyes revealed some inexplicable meaning.
Only those who participated twice knew that this was an old man, indicating that he participated last time, but he left the Dragon Palace because of the reason.
"The last Wencai banquet, I was still a teenager, and I was lucky enough to be qualified to participate, so I know some, the princess, please forgive me, I am really a little eager, I heard that through the test, the Dragon Palace will realize one of its wishes, rich and immortal. ”
Old man Li didn't seem to vomit or be unhappy, and told everything.
Ao Ling'er was not angry, and said directly: "The last Wencai banquet, this princess just came here to take a look, but I didn't expect you to write down this princess, the original purpose of the Wencai banquet is to select the wisdom of talents, you are all screened by my dragon clan, all of you are talented." ”
"That being the case, I declare the test. ”
Although Old Man Li didn't say much, he said everything that should be said, and Ao Ling'er didn't have to say it again.
"The first test, my mother's birthday is recently, I found a bird from the coast of the West Sea, called pheasant, this bird is more colorful than the peacock, the hair is colorful, good dancing, the dance posture is extremely beautiful, but after the princess found it, it is impossible to make this bird dance, I don't know how to understand. ”
After Ao Ling'er finished speaking, she looked at everyone with a smile.
In a few moments, a shrimp soldier crab will bring a pheasant to the center of the palace.
A group of people stepped forward to perform their own tricks.
Some whistle, some want to provoke, some go directly to communicate, and some chant poems to praise.
There are also those who are lost in thought, and do not move.
This princess's question is also imaginative, not like an ordinary test, the closing routine, but biased towards strange, these people, including Xu Wei, do not know much about pheasants, and Ao Ling'er is not detailed, which increases the difficulty of the test even more.
"Old man Li, I see that you are as stable as Mount Tai, don't you have an idea. Xu Wei also had some thoughts in his heart, but he cared about Old Man Li and wanted to ask.
Instinct told him that Old Man Li didn't seem to be simple, he could make up a story and tell it well, with subtle words and full of mysteries, as if he was warning something.
Old man Li naturally recognized Xu Wei, Xu Wei heard the meaning of his story, and secretly said in his heart, it's a pity.
So he stepped forward and said loudly: "Seventeenth princess, I have a humble opinion below. ”
Say. ”
"The pheasant dances, and the princess is looking for more than just a pheasant on the island, the pheasant is a beast, and the beast competes for its kind, showing its dancing, it must be on the island, I don't know if it is. ”
"Exactly. Ao Linger said with a smile.
Old man Li breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Just find its kind, and when the two pheasants meet, they will inevitably dance." ”
"Exactly, and it does. Ao Ling'er continued, and the rest of the people felt extremely sorry, but they didn't expect it to be so simple. Even Old Man Li was a little high-spirited.
"But. Ao Linger continued: "Only this chicken has the most beautiful dance on the island, and this princess only values this pheasant, and has not considered anything else, and my mother's birthday is in the near future, and I am afraid it will be too late to go back." So it works, but it doesn't work. ”
"You ......." Old man Li was suddenly angry with Ao Ling'er, he didn't expect Ao Ling'er to say this at all, he was completely deliberately looking for fault.
However, who of them in this group can help Ao Ling'er for half a point.
Xu Wei saw that Ao Ling'er's eyes flashed with cunning, as if he said this deliberately, so he stepped forward to help Old Man Li back.
Then he returned to the center and said to Ao Ling'er: "Elder Li's answer is already very good, but now I want to pick up people's teeth and continue to solve the problem, I don't know if it's okay." ”
Ao Ling'er still remembered Xu Wei, it was the mark she had made, and remembered that the light of her aura seemed to be quite strong, she nodded, and said, "Naturally, there is more than one road in the world." ”
"That's fine. Dragon Palace Duobao, presumably there will be no lack of a glass mirror, placed in front of the pheasant, is like two pheasants to meet, naturally will have the heart of victory, start the dance. ”
Xu Wei also thought of it a long time ago, but he never said it, but now he stood up and preemptively praised the Dragon Palace Duobao, just to seal Ao Ling'er's mouth.
Otherwise, it is too difficult to make the pheasant dance out of thin air, without spells.
"Good. ”
Ao Linger clapped her hands, even she didn't think of using a mirror, it was a complete obstacle to knowledge, she knew that the pheasant was on the island, and she could dance in front of her kind, but she didn't think deeply, and when she came back, she found that the pheasant was not dancing, and took this opportunity to take it up to the question.
Immediately, a mussel girl took out a one-person-high glass mirror, which was gorgeous and extraordinary.
Standing in front of the pheasant, the pheasant saw a similar kind appear in the mirror, and he went up to watch curiously, but this kind of person didn't care, just imitated its movements, and was immediately annoyed and pounced.
The glass is fragile, protected by spells and naturally unharmed.
And the pheasant has the heart to win, and even directly spreads its wings in the same place, and the wings of the tail dance directly, and the colorful color, the pheasant dances, which is wonderful.
A pheasant dance, everyone is also intoxicated in the dance, although it is a pheasant, but it is the kind of beauty expressed.
After the dance is over, the first test is to give up.
As Xu Wei said, he picked up people's teeth and wisdom, so the scholars did not have much admiration for Xu Wei, but glared angrily, as if they were blaming, but they were more close to Old Man Li.
Xu Wei smiled and said nothing, the Dragon Palace was indeed blind, so many people were selected among hundreds of thousands of people, they were the best among the people, but compared to the wandering people born from the forty-nine states of Great Xia, among the tens of billions of people, they didn't know what they were.
Xu Wei seems to believe that vision determines height, these people are tall people who are short, and there are phoenixes in the ravine, but it will not be them.
The contempt of the weak naturally doesn't matter.
Ao Ling'er clapped her hands, then focused everyone's eyes on her again, and said: "Since a test has been broken, it is the credit of the two of them, that is, half of each is counted, and after all the tests are over, we will discuss it." ”
Ao Ling'er's disposition was fair, and they literati were not dissatisfied.
"The second test is to praise the princess with poetry, and the one who can make the princess nod wins. ”
This test is much simpler than the previous one, but the difficulty lies in how to depict Ao Ling'er, as a princess of the dragon clan, Ao Ling'er naturally doesn't have much beauty, and she is also the top among the dragon sons and dragon girls, but how to praise.
"I'll come. ”
The first gentleman went up, recited a poem describing a beautiful woman, and returned with a feather.
"I'll come. ”
One after another quickly returned, Ao Ling'er's face did not change in any way, but she had been listening carefully, and the poems were a revelation of a person's affection.
Xu Wei looked at Old Man Li again, and the thought of an old man reciting poems praising a dragon girl was absolutely funny, and it was also a blasphemy.
Sure enough, Old Man Li's face was very ugly, he never thought that he would encounter such strange topics, it is not difficult to write poems, it is rare to impress the dragon girl.
Who can know which aspect of the dragon girl's heart she likes.
"Hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the water hall is fragrant. The state is thick and true, and the texture is delicate and even. Pretty like the peach of three springs, pure like the chrysanthemum of nine autumns. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are delicate, and the voice and smile are gentle. ”
Old man Li walked directly to the stage and said loudly.
The image of a beautiful woman jumped out.
Ao Ling'er finally spoke: "I'm afraid that what you old man thinks about is not this princess, praise others to recite to this princess." ”
"Princess, forgive me, your beauty is not like the mortal world, it cannot be described, Princess Huixin, but it was a confidante of my youth. Old man Li was very ashamed and retreated directly.
Although Ao Ling'er didn't nod, she was much better than before.
And her eyes also looked at Xu Wei, Xu Wei showed his hand before, which made her impressed.
Regarding beauty, Xu Wei already has an idea in his heart, except for that, he doesn't think about it in his heart, since Zhuyu is in front, why bother thinking about it, and going to Ao Ling'er is indeed a goddess.
"Its shape is also like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon. Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine. The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind. Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow, and when you are forced to observe it, it is scorching like a hibiscus rising out of the waves. The fiber is heartfelt, and the fit is shortened. If the shoulders are sharpened, the waist is like a plain ......"
Xu Wei smiled and stepped forward to stand with his hands in his hands, and naturally recited in his mouth, he had no goddess in his heart, but now he saw that Ao Ling'er was gradually replaced by Ao Ling'er's appearance.
The beauty is looking forward to it, and that's it.
"In that case, can I ask the goddess to nod? Xu Wei asked rather really.
"Naturally. Ao Ling'er nodded lightly and said, "If this Fu can't nod, then who can make me nod." ”
Looking at the venue again, almost half of the people have already stepped forward to give it a try, and Xu Wei is a relatively late one.
This is a real talent, not the same small wisdom as before.
Even Ao Ling'er couldn't see through Xu Wei, but he was thinking about Ao Ling'er, where could there be such an image of such a beauty in his heart instead.
