Chapter 6 The Nation of Words and the Sword

I looked at the time disc hanging in the sky with Yoyo and Frog Haha, and when I waited for the full moon, everything around me seemed very sacred.

"Prince, quickly take out your divine foot, and then concentrate, close your eyes and say to me silently: the sea is alive, thank the sun and the moon, bless my poetry country, and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous for all ages. Thousands of miles of poetry, worship the sun and the moon, give me a path, open the world......" Frog Haha said, while closing his eyes, I took out the Pisces jade pendant and read it up, and Yoyo also read it.

"The sea is alive, grateful for the sun and the moon, bless my poetry country, and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous for all generations. Thousands of miles of poetry, worship the sun and the moon, give me a way, and open the world!"

After reciting it silently twice, the temperature of the Pisces jade pendant in my hand gradually increased, and a ray of golden light shot out from the center of the jade pendant, the older and brighter, suddenly the jade pendant flew into the air, and the eyes of the two fish in the jade pendant lit up with a light, the fish tail shook twice, and threw out a few drops of water, and then the two fish in the jade pendant were connected to swim in the jade pendant, and the speed became faster and faster. After a while, a basin-sized, glittering golden disc rotated in mid-air, and there seemed to be wind flowing around the disk, and it seemed to be a whirlpool absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and the energy of heaven and earth.

"Master, this is the time wheel. Yoyo shook my tail and said excitedly.

"Prince, when you stand firm, we will ride the Konoha and jump up, jump into the time plate, and we will travel to the country of words. Frog Haha pointed to the time disc and said happily.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go! I wanted to teach the Xuanwu toads a good lesson yesterday, and test the power of my bold spell and graceful spell. "I'm gearing up and speaking confidently.

"Stand firm. Konoha, let's go!" Frog haha frog claws synthesized into a sword shape, a gong, "whoosh" sound, Konoha flew us into the time wheel, which was full of light and starlight.

"Master, it turns out that the time disk tunnel is so beautiful, it really looks like a star bay. Yoyo held up the gills with his whiskers and fell into longing.

In about a minute, we passed through another wind tunnel, landed on a meadow, and the time disk turned into a Pisces jade pendant, and flew back to my hand, I think it should be the country of words in front of me.

At a glance, the streets of the country are orderly, the market is prosperous, and it is thriving. The street is full of traffic, people are wearing jade pendants, icing on the cake, laughter.

"Brother Frog, don't you see that the environment of this word country is not very neat? Where is the miasma?" I looked at the frog suspiciously, thinking that I could not use my world-shattering skills, and suddenly I looked like a deflated ball.

Frog haha touched his big belly, "Strange, I don't understand this either." ”

"Is it a trick? Are these illusions?"

"Makes sense, I'll reward you with a pack of shrimp crackers!" I threw a pack of shrimp crackers out of my pocket and gave it to Yoyo.

"Let's go into the streets and see what tricks this toad is up to. As I spoke, I swaggered over with the two divine beasts.

"Yoyo, it's strange, why aren't these people on this road afraid of a big frog like a frog haha? And you're a big fish that can fly and talk. I scratched my head, a little confused.

"Master, maybe they've been used to watching monsters before. Master, do you think, they are used to seeing those toads, let alone seeing such a delicate and beautiful us?"

As they spoke, both Frog Haha and Yoyo laughed.

A narcissistic fish and a narcissistic frog meet so happily, talking and laughing along the way. As we spoke, we came to the bottom of an advertising wall, on which was written "Emperor Xuanwu's wedding, the whole people must be grateful!"

The onlookers were talking:

"I heard that the Emperor Xuanwu fought in the south and north of the Western Regions, triumphant all the way, and made great achievements; this time he also brought back a beautiful lady from the Tianshan battlefield, and it is said that he wants to be accepted as the lady of the village. ”

"Therefore, we are now enforcing the construction of poetry culture, and all the shopkeepers and shopkeepers who do not meet the standards on the street are imprisoned in the dungeon, and the homeless people next to the garbage cans on the road have been arrested. ”

"Don't you just be a homeless man, you see, the stray dogs have been killed and cleaned up......"

"It seems that Emperor Xuanwu really wants to do a good job of image engineering this time and give a good impression to its beautiful girl. Then again, half of this place is full of toads, and it looks like a clam. ”

"I see, the toad wants to eat swan meat. I understand, on the other hand, thinking about it, this Xuanwu is really a well-intentioned love species, but it should be able to do it. I couldn't help but laugh, and Yoyo also held his stomach and remembered.

"Alas, it used to belong to our frog clan too, and it makes you laugh. Frog haha spread out his claws and said helplessly.

We went all the way and came to a teahouse to rest, Xiao Er came over to take a look at Youyou and Frog Haha, and said with a smile, "Three guest officers, what kind of tea do you have to pot?" The small shop has Anhui's best Huangshan Maofeng, Lu'an Gua Pian, Taiping Houkui, and the new upstart of Hui tea-Tiger Cave Yunwu. ”

"Tiger Cave Clouds, what the hell? I haven't heard of it, let's try it in a pot. "Haha, no way, I'm just so curious.

After a while, Xiao Er brought a pot of cloud tea upstairs and poured three for us. I took a closer look, sure enough, the tea soup is clear, green with yellow, like a trace of citrine wrapped in jasper; I tasted it a few times, and Frog Haha and Yoyo also inhaled, and immediately felt refreshed and relaxed.

When tasting authentic tea, I heard a few people at the next table chatting warmly, "In the afternoon, Ciyunxuan held a groomsmen and bridesmaids audition contest, and selected one best man and bridesmaid for the wedding of the Xuanwu Emperor through the wonderful Song word competition, and the contestants must be original Song lyric writers, and the first place in the men's and women's groups of the competition is the best man and bridesmaid of the Xuanwu Emperor's wedding." Let's go and see. "Okay. ”

I had an idea, and it was a good opportunity. "Yoyo, frog haha, you two cute pets haven't seen adults get married, tomorrow brother will take you to see and see. After speaking, I took another sip of the Tiger Cave Cloud Mist, paid for the tea, asked the location of Xiao Erzi Yunxuan, and walked straight away.

Walk into the word rhyme Xuan, the three-storey courtyard inside and outside, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the rockery flowers and trees are like forests, the mandarin ducks are playing in the water like flowers, the pavilions and pavilions are streamering, and the carved windows and painting pillars are fragrant. It's antique and poetic.

"It's a real place on earth. This is indeed my paradise. "I was raving about the view from the front yard as I toured it. Unconsciously went around to the middle courtyard, and the housekeeper of the middle courtyard said, "The poetry competition venue needs to be protected, and it is not open for the time being." Waiting for the son to move in the afternoon. ”

We went around to the front yard and sat down to rest, watching more and more scholars come to the race, and the time is approaching. When the time for the competition came, the housekeeper took us to visit the three-story courtyard of Ciyunxuan, and introduced in detail the scenery and humanistic stories inside, feeling that he was alive and well as a gold medal tour guide. It turns out that the owner of Ciyunxuan is an old man in Suzhou, and the triple courtyard is modeled after the main characteristic attractions of Suzhou's three major gardens - the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Lingering Garden, and the Tiger Hill.

After visiting Ciyunxuan, the housekeeper took us back to the middle courtyard, there was a table in front of everyone, and the four treasures of the study room were placed on the table, and the ink had been studied. "Please sit down in turn, the first attempt of this competition is to write a group of "Qinyuan Spring" with the scenery of the triple courtyard of the word rhyme, you can feel it, you don't have to stick to the format, and the four people who win the semi-finals with a novel and unique one. After the housekeeper finished speaking, he saw that we were seated, and motioned to the scholar behind him to strike the gong, "The competition is now officially started, everyone will hand in the papers after a pillar of incense, and take a break to wait for the results." ”

Luckily, I've visited Suzhou Gardens in the past, so that's not a problem. With a stroke of my pen, I sprinkled it, and a group of Qinyuan spring jumped on the paper.

Qinyuan Spring • Humble Administrator's Garden

Mountain island bamboo dock, Songgang curved water, secluded flowers. Embrace the flowers and beautiful sun, the warbler sings and the cicadas sing, and the vine dance covers the bridge, lingering with the flying rainbow. The affection is lingering, the mandarin ducks are playing in the water, and the willow waves in Xiangzhou are moist and rainy. How auspicious, just the golden scales were born, and the carp turned into a dragon.

Affectionate acquiescence to the smoke cage. Pick up a few flowers to give to Zhou Gong. Appreciating the spring dock begonia, the shadow is hazy, the shadow of the North Temple Tower, the lotus fragrance is in a dream, the elegant guest is sassy, the silk and bamboo are happy, and I know the leisure of the south of the Yangtze River best. Penglai realm, lying in the bamboo secluded dwelling, the moon and the wind.

The wind ravines and clouds, the tiger roars Wu Ding, and the mountain leaps and the tower soars. Wangting Pavilion stacks green, Xixi is charming, the god goose is easy to say, the green field fairy light, the shadow of the Zen temple tower, the magnolia mountain house, the water pavilion tower pine and apple fragrance. In the rainy season, the bamboo shadow willow smoke, the sword dance sunset.

Appreciating the Bohu ladies, autumn fragrance evening makeup, Tianchi around the beams, Yuchuan melodious, pipa song moon, commenting on the bomb across the river, Wu Nong's soft language are all Huazhang. Looking at the railing, the mountains and rivers are happy, and the bosom friends appreciate together.

After a while, the competition ended, and more than 20 participating men and women discussed and exchanged what they had written. I sat on the stone bench with Youyou to rest, and a woman wearing an orchid knot, a blue satin jacquard, and a white gauze plain dress sat opposite me, looked at my Youyou and said, "Hello, my name is Jinse, and I am the owner of the Nianhua Gallery." Wow, your toys are so cute, where did you buy them? I'll buy one another day. ”

"Well, hello, I'm a poet Kyushu layman. This, this is not my toy......" I said more and more, I felt my tongue knotted, and I didn't know how to introduce Yoyo.

"Layman, do you believe in Buddhism, do you know how to look at your face?" she said with interest, spreading out her palm and stretching out her hand to show me.

"Well, I don't know how to look at it. The name Kyushu Layman was given to me by my parents, and I don't understand it. I hastened to explain.

"I'm Yoyo, the patron saint of his talents. Yoyo suddenly took the initiative to say hello, startling Jinse.

"Your fish can talk, it must not be cheap. Jin Se said as he tentatively reached out to touch Youyou.

"It is a koi fish raised by Guanyin Bodhisattva in the lotus pond of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, and it cannot be bought. "I made up a reason to joke.

At this time, the housekeeper opened the folding fan and said slowly, "Now the results of the preliminary round are announced, and the four talented women who won are: Kyushu Jushi, Nanmu, Jinse, and Peony Fairy. I invited four people to come with me to the backyard for the final round of the competition, and the two winners of the competition were the best men and bridesmaids of the Xuanwu Emperor's newlyweds. ”

In this way, Jinse and I both won and went to the backyard together. In the main hall of the backyard hangs a portrait of Emperor Xuanwu, a handsome, tall and mighty general. On the columns on both sides of the portrait is a pair of red gilded couplets, on which is written "Divine power cleanses the wilderness, and fame is eternal".

I thought to myself that this is really a toad that can put on a show, this image project is impeccable, so that it is like the Jade Emperor, why doesn't it go to the sky.

The butler pointed to the portrait of the Xuanwu Emperor and said proudly and excitedly, "This is the legendary great Xuanwu Emperor, and the winner of today's competition will have the honor to be the best man and bridesmaid for his wedding." I wish you all success in entering the palace of kings! Now I will announce the content of the following competition: Emperor Xuanwu fought on the battlefield in his life and made outstanding achievements. He has a bold and uninhibited personality, but he prefers poetry, especially Song Ci, but he feels that Song Ci is so powerless, which is a pity. Now you will conclude with two sets of bold songs. If Song Ci is approved by Emperor Xuanwu, he will receive an invitation letter tomorrow morning to meet Emperor Xuanwu and have lunch with Emperor Xuanwu. Please sit down for four people and race half a pillar of incense time. I declare that the competition is now officially open. ”

The same desk, the same pen, ink, paper, inkstone, different style. I am full of pride, and I pick up the pen and write, like flowing clouds and water, waterfalls and beasts, two mighty and domineering spirits rise in the air, rendering on the paper.

Nian Nujiao Pengcheng nostalgia

The south tour is slight, the southeast is around, and the spring color of Pengcheng is read. Thousands of ravines and beaches, packed up, boundless scenery and treasures. The typhoon devoured blood, the tsunami was invincible, and the night of the fishing village was cut off. The Sycamore Covenant, the Phoenix and the Whistle of Joy.

Ninety-seven arms Xiangjiang, riding the Milky Way, proudly speaking of Chinese love. The wind blows and rains, the clear river is near, and the willows are far away. Pengcheng thousands of miles, blue sea and blue sky, dreaming of pioneering cattle. Qianqiu creativity, Shi Chengning asked strong, right?

Water tune song head • Sycamore view the sea

Xing Tianzhi is sleepless in Changyang Mountain. Let's ask if the heavens are coming, what is the wish of those who are determined to do it. I want to kill the charm day by day, but I read the grievances of the Guanghan Palace, and I am in a dilemma of love and righteousness. The iron and blood are more heroic, and the arrogant drink Yunhan! Despise the Honggul, the peak of the roaring peak, and step on the flat river. Cangshan goes out to sea, Phoenix Nirvana declares to the sky, Wutong cuts off the clouds and rain, Wei Wumeng is calm and turbulent, and the celestial phenomenon "I Ching" is written. Those who come to watch the sea, Jianghuai Zhijiang!

I waved my pen and calmly left the scene, leaving the housekeeper and the maid dumbfounded, "Genius, it must be him." "In the midst of their chatter, I have gone away.

I found an inn near Ciyunxuan with Youyou and Frog Haha, and I couldn't sleep at night lying on the bed, tossing and turning, thinking a lot, I don't know how poetry and poetry are in the country of poetry? I don't know if the country of Lop Nur is now all occupied by zombies? I don't know if Peng Jingjing is safe in the Tianshan Mountains? I don't know if my parents are safe in the mine? A bunch of greetings linger in my heart, and I feel all kinds of sorrow.

Early the next morning, the innkeeper knocked upstairs and knocked on the door and gave me an invitation, which I quickly opened.

"Kyushu layman:

Ya'an. Several of your Song poems are very popular with our Xuanwu Emperor, and he specially ordered someone to frame and hang them in the study. Your perfect performance passed this contest, congratulations on becoming the best man of the Xuanwu Emperor's new marriage.

Xuanwu No. 1 Golden Butler worships"

"Yoyo, frog haha, you two big lazy worms, hurry up and have breakfast, we are going to meet this legendary toad brother." I folded the invitation and pulled up the quilt over Yoyo and Frog Haha.

"Little Er, Little Er, come here!" I opened the door and beckoned, "How did Emperor Xuanwu know that I lived here?"

Xiao Er put the rag on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hehe, guest officer, you don't know anything, where in our country of words are there things that the Xuanwu Emperor doesn't know? As he spoke, he disappeared into the hallway.

"A toad, so powerful. I quickly covered my mouth and looked around, wondering if these words would leak through the wind and reach the ears of this toad.

After I checked out, I had breakfast with Youyou and Frog Haha, and walked straight towards the Xuanwu Palace, the residence of the Emperor Xuanwu.

I couldn't help but sigh, "What a golden toad!

I took out the invitation letter, and was led by two guards with halberds at the gate of the Xuanwu Palace, and passed through the palace gate, the courtyard gate, and the inner hall in turn, and finally met the famous Xuanwu Emperor. The tall and mighty Xuanwu Emperor was dressed in golden armor, wearing a tiger-headed iron hat, leather boots, holding an agarwood bracelet in his left hand, and a crane-headed cane in his right hand.

"Student Kyushu monk, I have come to meet the Emperor Xuanwu! I wish the Emperor the newlywed Yan'er and a blessed life!" I bowed.

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Emperor Xuanwu hurriedly came over to help me, "Master, you are too polite! You are too good at talking!haha!" Xuanwu was happy while looking at the housekeeper next to him.

I looked up and saw that Jin Se from yesterday's competition was also there, presumably she also passed the competition and became the newlywed bridesmaid of the Xuanwu Emperor. I nodded and smiled at her as a gesture of friendliness.

"Master, your Song Ci is domineering and leaking, which excites my heart! I haven't had such pride for many years, and today I feel the charm of poetry again! You are really my bosom friend! I wonder where the master is high now?" Xuanwu said excitedly holding my hand.

"Stinky toad, stinky toad......" Youyou muttered in my arms.

"Emperor Qiyu, the student is now unemployed, and he is waiting to sell at a price. I replied as I patted Yoyo.

"Master, I want to invite you to be a military advisor under my command, I don't know what the master wants?" Xuanwu looked at me solemnly and said.

"Thank you for the emperor's love, I will definitely give advice to the emperor and follow the work of dogs and horses!

"Okay! Okay! Today is really gratifying, double happiness is coming! I got a beautiful girl, and I also got a poet and military advisor! I am happy! We will get drunk tonight!" Xuanwu was very excited.

For such an enthusiastic Xuanwu, I could only smile and nod, and I wondered why such an innocent toad would take refuge in such a demon like Lianchengjue.
