"Huh?" Hearing Qin Zhaoming's voice, Murakami was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to the audience. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The procedure continued, and Murakami was slowly sitting down.

"What's wrong? Seeing that your face is not very good today, and you are not feeling well? Qin Zhaoming said worriedly.

"Oh, I guess I didn't sleep well last night." Murakami smiled reluctantly, "I'm old, and I can't sleep much." ”

"You kid." Qin Zhaoming laughed, "I said before that I asked you to follow me to practice two tricks to strengthen your body, but you just didn't listen, and now you regret it, right?" ”

"After this competition is over, you stay for two more days, and then I will teach you a few tricks, and when you go back, you can practice if you have nothing to do, so it's decided." Qin Zhaoming said in a tone that he couldn't help but say, and after finishing speaking, he turned around, as if he was not allowed to refuse.

Murakami glanced at Qin Zhaoming with a complicated expression, and only replied in a low voice after a while: "Okay, good." He looked at the audience without any anomalies, but his hand in his sleeve was clenched tighter.

"The first orchid to appear is the treasure of the town from the RB Lankai - Fuji Snow Sakura!" In the passionate voice of the host, a flower with a white body and a pink orchid in the heart of the flower was carried onto the stage by the staff, and the true face of Fuji Snow Sakura also appeared on the specially set up big screen.

The first orchid was so surprising that a low exclamation rang out in the square. This orchid is of excellent quality, and what is even more rare is that the center of the plain petals is a pink stamen, which looks very delicate and cute, no wonder it is called Fuji Snow Sakura.

"Mt. Fuji is a sacred mountain in the hearts of the people of RB, this orchid is named after Fuji, it seems that the RB Lankyo has great hopes for Fuji Sakurayuki, so let's see how many points the five masters will score?"

In the midst of a low discussion, Murakami's thoughts drifted away...

"Father! What kind of flower is this? It's beautiful! It smells so good! ”

That was when he first saw orchids as a child.

In the memory of his father, whose face is still clear, smiled and stretched out his warm hand to rub the back of his head, Murakami likes this feeling of being cared for very much.

"Ah Zheng, this is called an orchid. A great saint once said this a long time ago. The father raised his head and recited in a hymn-like tone with a reverent face:

"Fran should be the king's incense, and now it is the only one,

In the company of all the grasses, such as the sage is not at the right time,

And the contemptible husband is also good. ”

After the recitation, my father's face was filled with a sense of longing, as if he was immersed in some kind of artistic conception. At that time, I didn't understand, so I pestered my father to ask what it meant and who said it.

In my memory, my father's explanation was a little vague, but I only remember that after listening to it, I shouted happily: "It turned out that Confucius said it, I know that I know, what the teacher said, and it is Confucius who is happy to have friends from afar." ”

"Haha! That's right, our little Ah Zheng is too smart! The father in the memory happily picked himself up, pricked his cheek affectionately with his beard, although he yelled no, Dad is a bad guy, but isn't his purpose exactly that?

After the frolic, the father held himself in one hand and pointed to the orchid with the other, and said earnestly: "Ah Zheng, I hope you can become a noble person like an orchid and a gentleman like an orchid in the future." ”

"Hmmm! Ah Zheng will definitely become a gentleman like an orchid..."The voice gradually drifted away, his father had passed away for many years, and he inherited his father's hobby, and tried to become a gentleman like an orchid.

When he came back to his senses, the noise flew into his ears again, and Murakami realized that he had burst into tears unconsciously, and quickly raised his sleeve to wipe the tears on his face.

Sensing the strange touch in his other hand, Murakami closed his eyes in pain, how he wished it was a dream!

"Well, it's really good, this orchid is in good condition, and it can be called the best of the best!" Putting aside personal grievances, Qin Zhaoming praised Fuji Snow Sakura.

"yes, yes..."

"This orchid is indeed superb." Several judges nodded in agreement.

After a short period of deliberation, the judges began to score, and Murakami returned to normal, looking unremarkable except for his left hand, which had been tucked into his sleeve.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the judges have finished scoring, how many points did this Fuji Snow Sakura get in the end? Will you be able to become the Kao of this contest? Look at the big screen! ”

Several judges appeared on the big screen in turn, and the judges showed their scores to the camera.

"8.9 points, 8.3 points... 8.7 points, Fuji Sakurayuki's final average score is 8.6 points! ”

The scene resounded with warm applause, the ordinary Kao competition, the default rule is 8.5 points or more even if it is the best orchid, generally only one or two, or even none, I didn't expect the first orchid in this game to score 8.6, everyone can't help but look forward to the next orchid.

"The next thing that will appear is the much-anticipated god orchid! Chinese! Summer! Nine! Ding! After a round of nonsense, the host's voice seemed to be a little distorted by excessive passion, but this did not affect the anticipatory mood of everyone present.

Two staff members carefully walked up to the stage holding an orchid, if Li Changgong was here, he would recognize at a glance that the previous cheap flower pot was gone, replaced by a white ceramic flower pot, which was full of orchid grass, which looked like it was from the hands of a famous artist. The previous pot was not thrown away, but cleverly wrapped in the current pot, without the slightest trace.

Originally, the people of the Orchid Association wanted to replace the flower pots, but they were afraid that the orchids would be damaged, so they adopted this method, like a matryoshka doll, with another slightly larger flower pot on it, so that it would not damage the orchid and look more beautiful, in Qin Zhaoming's words, this is worthy of the identity of a god orchid.

"Wow!" Several judges who were originally sitting still stood up one after another, and stepped forward excitedly to surround the "Huaxia Jiuding", not only the judges, but also the crowd present burst into exclamations, even if they don't know how to appreciate orchids, the vivid "Xiaoding" is so beautiful, so beautiful that people can't believe it. Especially for the Chinese present, Ding has always had an incomparably lofty position in Chinese history and culture, witnessing a flower grow into this shape, listening to the exclamations of foreigners present, the Chinese standing next to him couldn't help but take the trouble to tell them about the culture of "Ding" over and over again, and their hearts were full of pride.

Qin Zhaoming stood outside the crowd, stroking his beard and smiling at the excited judges. As a Chinese, when this orchid representing the China Orchid Association and having a "Chinese face" shocked the world, my heart was full of pride and pride, and I couldn't wait to look up to the sky and laugh three times.

"Jiuding, is a legend that has been passed down through the ages in China, and this orchid not only grows into a tripod shape, but also conforms to the number of 'nine', at this moment on behalf of the Chinese Orchid Association to participate in the competition, in China to stand again in the forest of the world's nations, is this the will of God? Is it God bless China? The host's face was filled with a strange flush, and his passionate words aroused the pride and enthusiasm in the hearts of all Chinese present.

Ding, is the Chinese since ancient times to spread the heavy instrument, orchid is also a representative of Chinese culture, the two into one, the splendid and long-standing culture in a flower is vividly embodied, so that people can't help but believe whether there is really a providence, whether God really blesses China

"Huaxia Jiuding! Huaxia Jiuding! The young man at the scene suddenly shouted the name of this orchid.

At first, only a small number of people shouted, but later more and more people shouted, and the sound became louder and louder, and finally converged into an unrivaled tide, rolling in all directions, echoing on the Huangpu River far away. All the Chinese waved their fists and shouted tirelessly over and over again, and a rush of blood rushed in everyone's hearts.

In the deafening shouts, Li Cunxiang's face turned a little pale, and his head was buried low, for fear that the crowd would rush up and tear him to pieces, and after blocking his ears, he felt a little better, and hurriedly poked his head over and asked Dong Muzheng worriedly, and the president of the Korean Orchid Association was also worried.

Dongmu Zheng's face was not very good-looking, and he really realized what the elders who had invaded China said, the unimaginable unity and willpower of the Chinese at some moments, and he finally understood how China, which was extremely backward back then, smashed RB's so-called three-month plan to conquer China and finally became the victor, presumably the Chinese they met back then.

But there is no room for failure today!

After a brief distraction, Toki looked at the stage with cold eyes, deaf to the inquiries of the two people on the side.

On the stage, Murakami was sitting back in his seat, as if telepathically, and subconsciously raised his head to meet the cold eyes.

In the middle of the night, Murakami lowered his head and cautiously opened his hand, and a small, fleshy, but unusually white severed finger came into view. With just a glance, Murakami suddenly closed his palm, held it tightly, closed his eyes in pain, and shouted frantically in his heart: Why! Why! Heavens, why are you doing this to me!

This truncated finger came from his little grandson, who was only a few months old, and this finger should have been like his companions, clutching toys or in the care of his family, instead of crossing the ocean, appearing in a foreign land, lying alone in his grandfather's hands!

Everything is an orchid! Murakami couldn't help but hate himself, why he liked orchids, why he became a master of orchid appreciation, why he agreed to be a judge of this competition, as long as none of this happened, none of this would happen now!

The mood of the crowd gradually subsided, and they were eagerly waiting for the judges to score, but they were ready for victory, and all they needed was cheers.

The judges' faces were also full of excitement, and several older judges even burst into tears, even saying that they could see such a miraculous orchid before they died, and they died without regrets. As the master once said: When you hear the Tao, you can die at night!

"It seems that everyone's call for 'Huaxia Jiuding' is very high, I don't know how many points your masters will score?"

After a short discussion, the judges began to score, but Murakami did not move, and Higashiki did not move.

The palms of his hands were covered in cold sweat, and the objects in his hands were extremely cold, but none of this was as cold as Murakami's cold heart at the moment, and Murakami was staring at the person in the audience, who was also staring at him motionless.

It seemed like a century had passed, and Murakami was closing his eyes in pain and nodding his head invisibly.

"Judges, please score!"

The first split appeared on the big screen - 9.9 points.

This is the unwritten rule of the Lan world, and it is ten false, with a maximum score of 9.9. This is the same as the principle that one of the nine products in the orthodox system in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the product of a saint and was not given to people.

Second Split - 9.9 points.

The third - 9.9 points... The Fourth - 9.9...

The people of the China Orchid Association couldn't help but welcome the expected victory, and the smile on Wang Xudong's face was like a blooming flower, getting stronger and stronger.

The crowd seemed to have rehearsed, and as the splits were revealed one by one, the cheers were louder and louder, and the sound rolled up, but it came to an abrupt end when it reached the peak.

"Murakami?" Qin Zhaoming looked at his left hand side suspiciously, that is, the last judge, Murakami Masa.

Everyone's eyes were on him, and Murakami was looking around, he knew that after today, the fame accumulated in the past few decades would be ruined, or even stinking for thousands of years, and he would be scolded by future generations, but it was far less than the chill brought to him by the severed finger in the palm of his hand.

"So, what is the score of the last judge, Masahara Murakami from RB?" The moderator said it again.

What should come will come! Murakami was looking at the orchids that were quietly blooming, and suddenly smiled.

Father, I'm sorry. I didn't become the kind of person you expected, I will use my blood to apologize to this orchid I have failed to, Huaxia Jiuding, such a beautiful name...

Retracting his gaze, Murakami smiled apologetically at Qin Zhaoming, who was worried on the side.

Brother Qin, I'm sorry, I don't think I can learn boxing from you.

Slowly pressing the button, a bright red number popped up on the digital display in front of Murakami.

"Okay, the last judge's score is finally out, 9..." The host, who was a little impatient, saw that the monitor finally began to beat, and subconsciously said according to the rehearsed lines in his mind, but as soon as the 9 words came out, the host seemed to bite his tongue and lost his voice in an instant.

Everyone seemed to press the pause button, cheers and even smiles froze in the dead silence air, and thousands of eyes were focused on the big screen, and a blood-red number on it stung people's eyes.

"One point!" The host seemed to have lost his ability to speak, and could only say these two words.
