Chapter 64: Knowing each other and parting
Before the words fell, a figure appeared between the clouds and mist, although there was only a vague figure, Su Wan still felt a refreshing chill welling up in her heart.
Hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "I was entrusted by the Great Secretary to come to meet the Young Secretary... Uh, Yunzhong-kun..."
"The Great Priest?" Hearing the name of the great priest, the man's tone softened a little, but he was still full of doubts: "The great priest has not appeared in front of the world for a thousand years, and besides, how could the great priest entrust you to such a little human girl who can't speak fluently." ”
Without waiting for Su Wu to explain, she heard an irresistible majestic female voice from the depths of the clouds: "Stand down." ”
The voice had some kind of terrifying power, and the figure disappeared immediately. Su Wu couldn't help but want to surrender, but deep down she gave birth to an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"Since I was commissioned by the Great Priest, can I have a token?" The majestic female voice asked again.
"This..."Su Wan was stunned, the big priest really didn't give her any tokens that could be proved.
"No?" The female voice paused, and then laughed: "It's really like his style." However, little girl, since you can't prove it, this seat won't let you enter this cloud hall easily. You need to go through the four tests of this seat, which are calligraphy, painting, music, and etiquette, are you willing? ”
This is the only way at the moment, Su Yu saluted respectfully: "It's all about little... Yun Zhongjun commanded. ”
"You go out, look carefully at the words on the palace gate, and then tell this seat, what you see, what you think..."
Su Wan took a few steps back, raised her head and looked carefully at the three words "Cloud Temple". After a while, the female voice asked, "What do you see?" ”
"The font dragon flies and the phoenix dances, strong and powerful..."
Before Su Wan finished speaking, the female voice let out a soft "heh" and interrupted Su Wan's words: "This is written by His Excellency the Eastern Emperor, which is naturally extraordinary." Keep watching. ”
Su Wan looked up again, but muttered in her heart. Shao Si Ming has always let herself see the plaque of the Cloud Temple, but no matter how good the calligraphy is, Zuo is just that realm, what does she want to let herself see?
After hesitating for a long time, Su Wu opened her mouth and replied: "These three words contain infinite mysteries of heaven and earth..."
"What do you see?" The female voice asked.
"This..."Su Wu choked, she just followed Lou Dao to learn some Qimen Dunjia Nine Palace gossip, and it was only a beginner, and she couldn't reach the height of being able to comment on what the Supreme God Donghuang Taiyi wrote.
The female voice snorted coldly: "The plaque of my Cloud Hall naturally contains the mystery of heaven and earth. Look again. ”
Without a trace, she rubbed her sore neck that had been raised, Su Wu looked up again, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and Su Wu blurted out: "The mystery of this heaven and earth contains the changes of the four seasons of clouds and rain, and it is an irresistible law..."
"Jun in the clouds, ride the clouds and spread the rain, this so-called mystery, you guess it. Look again! ”
Su Wan's palms were already oozing cold sweat, she pretended to be calm, raised her head again, and immersed herself in the three words. As a result, the more she looked at the three words "Cloud Palace", the more mysterious she became, and Su Wan felt as if she was about to be sucked out of her soul by it.
At the same time, there seemed to be some fragments in her mind, and she wanted to grasp them, but she couldn't grasp anything. This feeling of powerlessness is getting stronger and stronger, Su Wu bit her lower lip tightly, trying to use all her strength, but nothing can be done, this feeling makes her almost suffocated!
"Don't look at it!"
The female voice suddenly broke off, and suddenly pulled Su Wu back to reality from her dream. Su Wu suddenly opened her eyes, like a dying fish, gasping for breath.
It took a long time to come to her senses, and Su Wu tried her best to recall the scattered fragments in her mind, but she found that she couldn't capture anything, and she couldn't remember anything.
"You've passed the first test."
Hearing this, Su Wu looked into the depths of the clouds and mist in front of her, her eyes full of surprise. I didn't say anything, the test of the first "book", just like that?
Without waiting for Su Wan to react, the female voice continued: "Look at these nine thousand nine hundred and ninety white jade steps, although it is atmospheric, it is too monotonous. ”
Seeing that Su Wu was stunned in place, the female voice added: "You take a step forward and take a look at this white jade stone step, this seat wants you to inscribe on the first piece of white marble, and this picture should complement my cloud hall." ”
As soon as the words fell, a brush made by a wolf appeared in front of Su Wu out of thin air.
"This seat has a limited amount of time, you only have an hour's time."
Reaching out to hold the hanging brush, Su Wan took a step forward and looked at the first white marble step.
This piece of jade is square in shape, three feet long and three feet wide. Su Wu squatted down to ** this piece of jade, the warm touch is smooth and recognizable.
Shoji... Yun Zhongjun said that the painting on the jade should complement the surrounding artistic conception, but on such a white jade, in such an ethereal and untouchable environment, no matter what is painted, it is out of place, right?
Rubbing his head in annoyance, although Su Wan's own painting skills are good, how can the paintings of the mortal world be able to be seen by these gods?
When Su Wu was distressed, in the depths of the clouds, suddenly the woman's voice came again, different from the majesty before, she seemed to be chanting something, which made people feel sad.
Su Wan put down the brush in her hand and listened carefully.
"Sadness and sadness are parting, and happiness is a new acquaintance..."
Finally hearing what the woman was singing, Su Wu stiffened. Sadness and sadness parting, happy and happy new acquaintance, this is a sentence of "Shao Si Ming" in Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs"!
Although she has become Yun Zhongjun, in Shao Si Ming's heart, she has always been Shao Si Ming...
Thinking like this, Su Wu carefully reviewed the scene depicted by Qu Yuan in the "Nine Songs" Shao Si Ming chapter, and traced it over and over again in her heart, and then Su Wu squatted down again, and she was about to depict it with a pen.
With the first stroke, Su Wu was stunned. This... Why can't this brush be on the white marble steps?
This brush seems to repel the white jade steps, and when the brush is half an inch away from the white jade steps, a strong repulsive force will be generated to push the brush outward, and no matter how hard you try, you can't move forward a bit.
The white jade steps were surrounded by dense grass, and those dense grasses were even hidden on the steps, and there was nothing wrong with them.
Pulling a few sticks of grass and tying them together, Su Wu tried to draw a few times on the white jade steps, without any repulsion.
Putting down the brush in his hand, he dipped this clump of grass in the ink on the brush, and was about to write, but Su Wu found that the grass also had the same repulsive effect on the jade step as the brush.
This... What the hell is going on?
