Chapter 491, Eight Steps into a Poem!
That night, after returning to the residence, Helianor and the others repaired it again, and finally built the wooden house into a rough appearance, although it was a little rough, but at least it could shelter from the wind and rain.
For what the two senior brothers said before, Helianor and the others didn't really take it to heart, they all knew in their hearts that the aristocratic forces and the commoner forces were now in a delicate balance, and this balance naturally referred not to the balance of strength, but to the overlap in the attitudes of the two sides, each wanted to attack the other, but neither wanted to break the balance personally. As long as there are enough interests to drive, whether it is a civilian force or an aristocratic force, they will definitely not mind sacrificing a few newcomers, and the newcomers are just cannon fodder in their eyes, but it is obvious that Helianor and others do not want to be cannon fodder, they have their own plans, and they are not willing to be controlled by others at any time.
Early the next morning, sure enough, a white crane flew to the top of the mountain to greet him, hastily groomed, several people hurried on the road, the white crane flapped its wings, and landed on a hill in a short time, Helianor and others jumped down from the crane's back, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.
There are few strange and precipitous peaks in the human realm, most of them are Zhong Lingyuxiu, low and gentle, this mountain peak is no exception, a crystal clear mountain spring flows down from the top of the mountain, the bottom of the spring can clearly see the pebbles of swimming fish, the vegetation on the mountain is not luxuriant, but all are very neatly trimmed, several spacious wooden houses are built in the bamboo forest, it seems extremely quiet and elegant.
By the stream, there is a huge stone stele, the shape of the stele is very peculiar, it is the shape of a giant turtle carrying a stone slab, and there are two big characters engraved on the stele: turtle sleep!
"Legend has it that thousands of years ago, there was a huge spring here, coinciding with a year of excessive rain, the spring began to gush out to cause floods, causing heavy losses to the people downstream, and then the gods sent a turtle to the lower realm to control the water, the turtle tried his best, but still could not stop the flood, seeing the lives of the downstream devastated, the people were displaced and their wives were scattered, the kind-hearted turtle made up his mind to block the spring with his body, since then, the originally extremely tyrannical spring has become a quiet stream, and the people downstream have named this stream Turtle Mian in order to commemorate the brave turtleAlas, what a touching story, if it weren't for those noble children, this would be a good place to rest!" , Reading the small words on the back of the stele in a low voice, Lan Youruo glanced at the noble children who had already arrived with some sadness, and shook his head dissatisfiedly, those noble children are willing to be vassals and elegant wherever they are, and in the face of the beautiful scenery here, they are naturally unwilling to be lonely, one by one they stroke the qin and chant poems, praising each other, it looks so lively, even the reckless Bai Zhao is also involved, shaking his head and looking intoxicated.
"A person who looks like a dog, but really thinks he is a poet and inkman, in my opinion, is just a group of gentlemen who burn the qin and cook the crane!", Mo Feibai snorted coldly, obviously very much agreed.
"Hey, isn't this Helian Gongzi! Come on, here is a beautiful day, I and all my classmates are chanting poetry and fighting literature, I have heard for a long time that Helian Gongzi is both civil and military, why don't you come and show it?", seeing Helian Nuo and others appear, Bai Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly came over, he seemed to have forgotten yesterday's unpleasantness, and his face was full of sincere smiles.
"The weasel greets the chicken, but he is not kind!", Lei Shuo cursed in a low voice, but Bai Zhao seemed to have not heard it, and he was still smiling.
"Bai Gongzi is so elegant, if I Heliannuo shirks it again, I don't know how to lift! I also ask Bai Gongzi to be my destiny, although I am not talented, but I also want to throw bricks and lead jade, and laugh generously!" Helianno waved his hand and agreed as if humbly.
"Is Helian doing death, just the ink in his stomach, where did he make poetry!", Lan Youruo frowned when she heard this, she knew Helian Nuo's catties better than anyone else, in fact, except for Helian who taught Helian Nuo to read when he was in the Demon Moon Forest, Helian Nuo never received any learning again, he can read and write, and it is a little difficult to write, let alone compose poems that are even more difficult!
"It's okay, it's just a big shame, follow him, are we still losing fewer people?", Mo Feibai had an indifferent expression, he was originally from a wealthy family, he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and it was naturally not difficult to compose poetry, but Bai Zhao found Heliannuo, and he didn't have a way to help in front of so many people.
"Okay, it's still Helian Gongzi happy, as for the fate...... How about Helian Gongzi take this stream as the theme, and since Helian Gongzi is willing to participate in it, how about also taking the stream as the theme?", Bai Zhao pretended to ponder for a while, and then pulled Helenor to the stream, while the rest of the people stood at a distance, curiously waiting to see how Helenor would answer.
"There is no problem, but before I recite the poem, I still hope to hear Bai Gongzi's masterpiece, please Bai Gongzi do not hesitate to give advice, so that I can learn from one or two!", Helianor arched his hand with an expectant expression.
"This is natural, before you came, I already wrote a poem, read it to you, but what's the matter!", Bai Zhao confidently opened the folding fan, took a step and said loudly, "In ancient times, there were divine turtles blocking the clear spring, and now there are good sons and daughters of the Bai family." The turtle has passed away and lamented, look at me walking up to the sky!"
After reading the four lines of poetry, Bai Zhao folded the fan in his right hand, raised his head and closed his eyes arrogantly, with an intoxicated expression, a few of the nobles' children cheered loudly and exaggeratedly, but more people invariably took a few steps back and lowered their heads in shame.
"Good poetry, good poetry! I really didn't expect Bai Gongzi's martial arts to be outstanding, and his literary talent is so amazing! It's rare, it's really rare!", Heliannuo's heart was cold, but there was an expression of extreme admiration on his face.
"It's easy to say, this is actually not the one I am most satisfied with, but it is more than enough to give you a reference!Helian Gongzi, please!", Bai Zhao nodded very helpfully, Helianno at this moment seemed so pleasing to him, for a moment, he even forgot the disparity in the identities between the two sides, and wanted to make friends with Heliano.
"No problem, according to legend, in ancient times, there was a talented man who wrote a poem in seven steps, Helian is not talented, and he boasts that he is not as good as that genius, so let's make a poem in eight steps to cheer everyone up!", Helianor simply agreed, frowned slightly, and slowly took the first step.
"Okay, there you have it! Listen, my first sentence is: Brewing a clear stream in the depths of the bamboo forest!", as he took the second step, Helianor suddenly patted his head and said in a thoughtful voice.
"Hey, this sentence is still a little interesting!", Lan Youruo, who was already almost desperate, was overjoyed when she heard this, she didn't expect that Heliano, who didn't have a few drops of ink in her stomach, would be able to chant such a poem, although it was not amazing, but it was also decent.
Bai Zhao snorted coldly, and pulled the corners of his mouth noncommittally, he originally wanted to embarrass Helenor, but he didn't expect Helianor to really be able to chant poetry, even if the artistic conception of the poem is not excellent, but it is also reasonable.
Taking the third step slowly, Helianno continued: "Brew clear streams in the depths of the bamboo forest, and vow not to drink red dust." Who is ...... in the place of eternal rest?", when the third sentence was read, Helenor had already taken the seventh step, and the eighth step had been raised, but he refused to fall.
"It's a good don't drink the red dust and swear endlessly! Helian Gongzi is openly sensitive! I just don't know ...... this last sentence", Bai Zhao's face had become ugly at this time, although Heliannuo's poems were not of the highest quality, but they were obviously much better than what he had chanted before. He only hoped that Helenor would get stuck on this last sentence, and then he might be able to save some face.
"This last sentence has to be touched by Bai Gongzi's talent!", Helian Nuo smiled slightly, took Bai Zhao's hand affectionately, and deliberately raised his voice and read aloud: "Brew clear streams in the depths of the bamboo forest, and swear not to drink red dust." Where is the place of eternal rest, a spring, a person, a glans!"
As if to deliberately emphasize something, Helenor pulled the last line of the poem extremely long, and when the word "head" came out, his eighth step just fell!
"Good poetry, good poetry! It's just that the word ** is a little inappropriate, in my opinion, it's better to change it to a turtle!", Bai Zhao nodded, although he had some resentment and jealousy towards Helianno in his heart, but in order to show his demeanor, he deliberately praised loudly, looking like he was in trouble.
"It's not proper, the word ** is the finishing touch of this poem, how can it be replaced!haha!", without waiting for Helianor to answer, Mo Feibai, who had already been unable to hold back his laughter, shouted loudly, and Lan Youruo, who was standing beside him, was slightly red, lowered his head and pinched the corners of his clothes.
"It's almost time for class, let's hurry up and go to the classroom to prepare!Bai Gongzi, let's go first!", Helianor forced a smile and pulled Mo Feibai and the others towards the wooden house.
"Brother Mei, don't say it, although this Helenor hates it, his eyesight is not bad, at least he can see the artistic conception in my poems. His own poem is not very good, vulgar and obscene, although it is reasonable and appropriate, but it is elegant!", looking at Helianno's back, Bai Zhao smacked his lips regretfully, and said to the young man in Chinese clothes standing beside him.
"Bai Zhao, Bai Zhao, you can have a snack! People are obviously taking the opportunity to scold you with poetry, but the funny thing is that you don't even know it, do you think the ** in his poem is talking about the stone tablet?
