Chapter 51: The Imperial Capital Lantern Festival (I)
"Don't believe it, I witnessed it with my own eyes a few days ago, and the big brother you said performed three tricks with all his might, and Wu Shao took them all with just one finger. In the end, Big Brother didn't worship Young Master Wu as a teacher in public!"
"Then Young Master Wu can have such strength?"
"Isn't it?Young Master Wu's strength is unfathomable, maybe only such a person can be worthy of the little county lord......"
The streets of Chiba Castle are especially bustling today.
On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of colorful lanterns, and people are bustling with people choosing their favorite lanterns in the stalls, and the air is filled with laughter and laughter.
Wu Ming looked at the familiar scene, and couldn't help but be a little distracted, this Lantern Festival is really very similar to the Lantern Festival in his hometown, people are all the same cheerful and bright smiles, the same knotted lanterns with various blessings, and all kinds of fireworks.
Sighing a little melancholy, Wu Ming didn't know if he would have a chance to return to the original world in this life.
The two walked to a stone bridge, but saw a group of people crowded in one place not far ahead, and the man who was surrounded shouted, "Pass on the order of the sect master of my family's sect, but whoever can fill in this poem will be rewarded with a silver penny, and the person who fills in the poem best will get a flying lantern!"
As soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately exploded, the flying lantern was second, and the most valuable was the fire crystal that activated the flying lantern. Under the expansion of the hot gas of the fire crystal, the lampshade of a huge flying lamp slowly bulged.
Is this Kong Ming's lantern? Wu Ming looked at it in surprise.
"Let's go, let's see. Zheng Xianyue smiled and pulled Wu Ming to follow, and at this time, Zheng Xianyue's little girl's curiosity was suddenly aroused, and she really couldn't stop it. However, Wu Ming is also very curious, this world has too much in common with his original world.
However, after the two of them approached, they could see clearly where this was the Kong Ming lantern, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a hot air balloon, and it was not difficult to see that when this huge flying lantern was fully puffed up and could fly, even if it carried one or two people, there would be no problem.
I saw an incense burner standing on the man's left side, and an object covered with a brocade cloth on his right.
When the man saw that the number of people gathered was about the same, he lit a stick of incense and placed it in the incense burner, turned around and lifted the brocade cloth aside, and a stone slab appeared in front of everyone, and the stone slab was engraved with three verses, the first line of the poem was "The green mountains and water in the building outside the mountain," and the third and fourth sentences were "Dream of a beautiful woman's heart, a thousand miles of lonely souls and a boat." However, seeing that the second sentence of this poem is vacant, the so-called filling poem should be filling the second sentence of this poem.
Can I check my phone? Wu Ming was entangled, still carrying the mobile phone he had carried when he crossed over in his sleeve pocket. I vaguely remember that I had downloaded some collection software about poetry collections on my phone, and maybe I could find a sentence or two to make it up.
However, because he was worried about the lack of battery on his mobile phone, Wu Ming removed the battery pad of his mobile phone when he confirmed that he had traveled to another world, so that he could need it in the future. However, no matter how you look at the current situation, it is not an urgent time.
Half a pillar of incense has passed, and the onlookers are still struggling to come up with suitable verses, although there are many talented people in the imperial capital, but it is really difficult to limit the time of one pillar of incense. The man was obviously anxious because he couldn't make the deal, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "There is still time for half a pillar of incense, you all hurry up, even if you don't answer well, we still have a silver coin to reward us." ”
However, it was obvious that the man's words had the opposite effect, and the person who had this intention was embarrassed to be perfunctory for the sake of a silver penny.
Wu Ming looked at Zheng Xianyue, but saw that she was unhurried and seemed to be confident, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What poems have you come up with?"
Zheng Xianyue mischievously stretched out her jade hand and gently shook it in front of Wu Ming's eyes, her voice lowered, "I have come up with five lines of poetry that can fill the gap here, but I want to see if anyone can answer better." ”
It's so powerful, Wu Ming couldn't help but smirk, this Mingyue County Lord is simply a humanoid computer, no, it should be much more powerful than a computer.
Half a pillar of incense was about to burn out, and there was still no one present who answered.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the brocade cloth that was placed on the side of the stone slab was blown up by the wind and slowly fell to the ground.
Wu Ming couldn't help but be a little distracted when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but spit out a sentence "The sorrow of a foreign land is like a brocade soft".
As soon as the words fell, everyone quieted down, and Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned after saying this, seeing that everyone was looking at him, they didn't seem to understand what was going on at all, even if Zheng Xianyue looked at him, there seemed to be something special.
"Well filled!" a cheer broke the silence like a stone falling into the water.
"Outside the mountain, the green mountains and water buildings, the sorrow of a foreign land is like a brocade and softness, the dream of a beautiful woman's heart, and the lonely soul of a thousand miles is a boat. Zheng Xianyue couldn't help but read the poem coherently.
"The poem I filled in?" Wu Ming was stunned, but after a closer look, this sentence could just fill in the second sentence of the poem.
Wu Ming suddenly looked embarrassed, and hurriedly tugged at Zheng Xianyue's cuffs, "Quickly say the poem you want to fill in, you must be much better than my casual nonsense." ”
Zheng Xianyue's face was slightly red, and she shook her head, "Needless to say, you are already the best." ”
When everyone was looking at Wu Ming, Wu Ming kept staring at the handwriting on the slate, and unconsciously found that the vacancy of the second line of the poem on the slate had been filled, and it was filled in what Wu Ming said, "Nostalgia in a foreign land is like brocade".
The whole poem is not only imposing, but there is no trace of carving on the slate, as if the four lines of the poem have been stored on the slate from the beginning.
Wu Ming looked at the poem that suddenly appeared on the slate suspiciously, "Yue'er, do you see if there is an extra line of words on the slate?"
Zheng Xianyue looked at the stone slab not far away, but saw a golden light falling from the sky in an instant, reflecting that everyone could not see the handwriting on the stone slab. The golden light gives people an air of sacredness and cannot be desecrated, like a miracle for everyone to worship.
Under the golden light, many small cracks opened in the stone slab, and the small stones on it continued to fall down. The golden light lasted for a long time before disappearing, and when it disappeared, the slate had already turned into powder, and what appeared in its turn was a small bronze mirror.
The man immediately carefully placed the bronze mirror in the tray and respectfully accepted it in front of Wu Ming.
"Childe, the sect master of my family instructed the villain to deliver this thing to the person who can fill in this poem, and I hope that Childe will accept it with a smile. ”
Wu Ming was about to take it, but the hand he had just raised was held down by Zheng Xianyue.
