Chapter 272: Writing Poetry
Huai Shi took a deep breath, picked up the fan, brought it to the front, as if covering his face, opened the curtain with one hand, and after taking a few steps forward, he stepped on the footstool and got out of the car.
The fan seemed to have a strange magic power, blocking in front of him, and a black smoke rose, enveloping Huai Shi's face, covering his face, and no one could see his true face clearly.
But he could see the figure in front of him clearly through the cracks in the fan.
When the clumsy and misshapen servant, dressed in white, looked up at him, a flattering smile was forced out of his ugly face, and he propped up the lantern and limped ahead.
"Noble, noble, please follow me, follow me......"
He looked back and forth flatteringly, and waved to Huai Shi enthusiastically, Huai Shi raised his eyes, glanced at the city gate of the black hole behind him, and the Yingzhou demon who was guarding in front of the city gate was more than a few meters high, swallowed a mouthful, didn't say anything, held a fan, and walked to follow.
A few meters in front of him was an old and hunchbacked minister, holding a strange-looking ritual weapon, but the head that could pop out of the collar seemed to be like a snake, and a completely disproportionate eye on a face full of tumors and scars was wide and shining green.
The long whiskers resemble those of some fish, and on the forehead, a crooked antler has been broken, streaked with mold and moss.
As he looked left and right, an inhuman hunger and thirst revealed from his huge eyes.
Huai Shi deliberately slowed down and lengthened the distance between them, but behind him, there was a dark aura that followed step by step, making him feel a creepy chill that kept coming.
In the corridor beneath the city gates, the huge gates were not fully opened, but were firmly guarded.
There was a faint sound of inquiry ahead, and a skeleton in tattered costumes came out crookedly, its bones opening and closing, making a sound.
"Recently, there are too many outsiders who don't know the number of etiquette, and yesterday there were assassins who infiltrated the forbidden area, which caused the emperor's anger, so I conducted an investigation, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
Huai Shi's heart sank, and she heard a sound behind her, and in the team, a masked figure suddenly turned around and ran away.
Immediately, the strange old man in front of Huai Shi turned around, his snake eyes shone, his neck suddenly stretched, and he flew into the air in an instant, and his blood basin mouth suddenly closed, and he slowly shrank back with a chilling chewing sound.
Then, looking at Huai Shi behind him, a trace of suspicion flashed in the violent snake's eyes.
"Why did this lord cover his face with a fan?"
Huai Shi was not abnormal, but according to what the crow had taught before, he replied in a loud voice: "Caused by the wind and cold, the face is indecent, lest the demeanor be lost." ”
“......”
The snake-faced doctor looked at him directly for a long time, and slowly withdrew his gaze.
Huai Shi finally took a breath secretly, sweating like pulp.
The ministers in line slowly moved forward, and soon, Huai Shi saw the notice posted on the door, as well as the voice of the skeleton in front of him: "The poetry meeting is a collection of elegance, naturally there will be no such rude behavior as body search, as long as the adults make a song according to this question, it will be considered to be correct." ”
Huai Shi raised her face, squinted, and saw the notice posted on the door through the crack in the fan.
There are only two large characters in thick ink.
- Thoughts.
His heart sank again, and he was cold.
It's not that he is completely unprepared, since he is going to participate in the poetry meeting, of course he is prepared in advance - it is said that it is a poetry meeting, but Yingzhou's poetry meeting is not written by Han poems, but mostly Yingge, and there are still a lot of materials for reference in the current situation.
I didn't expect to start singing poetry first!
In order to prevent the book of fate in his soul from being spied on by any existence, he didn't even dare to open the book now, so he could only quietly flip through the cheat sheet in his sleeve while the snake-faced doctor in front of him was answering.
But he didn't expect that the old ghost in front of him looked so unliterary, but he was very fast in singing, just staring at the topic of 'Nian Si' a few fingers, and then raised his head and sang:
"In the spring glow, it seems to see the mountain cherry blossoms. ”
"I haven't seen the face of the person, Mr. is in love. ”
Before the words fell, not only the skeletons, but also the ministers before and after applauded warmly, and the cheers were endless.
"Good poetry, good poetry!"
The skeleton moved out of the way and gave his hand accordingly: "I wish you the best in the poetry meeting." ”
His praise is not for no reason, with the title of 'Thoughts', the snake-faced doctor can be called a quick thinker, and there is no thought in the whole article, but it is tightly linked to the main axis, which is wonderful.
The snake-faced doctor looked up triumphantly and laughed, said he didn't dare, and went straight in.
Leaving Huai Shi to stand in place awkwardly, holding the hand of the fan, trembling slightly.
Front and back, left and right, in all directions, all eyes fell on Huai Shi's body.
In his sleeve, his fingers trembled wildly, and he had just finally found the relevant space, but he glanced at it in a hurry and was not able to see it all.
I just hate that old bastard in front of me for being too fast!
At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Huai Shi stiffened for a long time, opened his mouth several times, and closed it several times in embarrassment.
It wasn't until the suspicious indifference in the skeleton's eyes grew thicker and thicker that he finally shook his shoulders and took the lead in chanting before he could speak:
"If you say that you haven't seen it, you have seen it, but you haven't seen it!"
As soon as a song came out, it was flat and straightforward, but it seemed to have a touching faint heaviness, which made the skeleton's expression stagnant and listened attentively.
But I saw Huai Shi take a step forward, holding a fan with one hand and pretending with the other, and chanted in his mouth: "Prepare for lovesickness for no reason...... Uh, lovesick bitter...... Prepare for lovesickness for no reason......"
In front of everyone's eyes, the sweat on the face behind the fan of Huai Shituan continued to ooze out, and his mouth was muttering this sentence over and over again, and his heart became more and more panicked.
The last sentence, the last sentence he forgot!
The more nervous I was, the more I couldn't remember, until I repeated the sentence 'unprovoked lovesickness' seven or eight times, and the green light in the skeleton's eyes became more and more dangerous.
saw Huai Shi take another step forward and chant solemnly.
"If it is said that it has not been seen, it has been seen, but it has not been seen. ”
"Taste the bitter ...... of lovesickness for no reason"
At the moment of life and death, Huai Shi suddenly had an idea and made up for the end of the poem:
"-Oh roar, it's over!"
In silence.
Skeleton: "......"
Ministers: "......"
Raven in the Shadows: "......"
The demons looked at each other, dumbfounded, and dumbfounded, and the chickens talked to the ducks...... In short, all of a sudden, the mood is complicated, like the idiom solitaire, when someone suddenly jumped out and threw out 'a top two', although it was right to pick it up, but it was inexplicably wanted to hit him.
The Skull Palace was stunned for a long time, and his jaw almost fell to the ground, "Uh, this...... Although there is nothing wrong with the charm in the song, I have never seen this theme and format...... What kind of subject is this?"
"Drink, a group of uninformed guys, this is the most widely circulated theme in Chinese poetry. ”
Huai Shi raised his head and replied in a trembling voice: "Three and a half sentences!"
“......”
“......”
“......”
The crow in the shadow closed its eyes in despair.
God three and a half sentences, little brother, you're finished......
In the long silence, Huai Shi seemed to be able to feel that the skeleton's face was getting more and more ugly, and his three and a half sentences seemed to be not as popular as expected, and he suddenly panicked, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I still have one." ”
As he spoke, he stepped and chanted, "...... in front of the bed."
"This is Taibai's poem!"
The skeleton interrupted Huai's recitation with a sharp voice, "Isn't it true that the Venerable Driver is here to entertain me? In this case, please don't blame your subordinates for checking your uprightness!"
With the command of the skeleton, the guards on both sides of the city gate, the two huge red and green demons stepped forward, holding the ghost golden rod in their hands, their mouths full of fangs open, and looking down at the weak, lonely and helpless Huai Shi.
Until Huai Shi was beside him, the curtain of an ox cart was lifted, and the figure who seemed to be a maid asked softly:
"What happened?"
"Ah, Snail, Raden-sama. The skeleton noticed the ox cart coming at some point, and involuntarily trembled, prostrate on the ground, and bowed respectfully: "It is a dereliction of duty, and it is ...... to be down."
The maid interrupted him unhappily, and her empty face seemed to glance at Huai Shi, and then said in a cold voice: "This is a guest invited by Lord Luodian Ji, so I am offended." ”
Cold sweat seemed to break out on the skeleton's pale face: "But, but ...... just now"
"The guest was joking with you just now, haven't you seen it?" the waitress asked rhetorically, "Do you think that he can't write the ending after doing the first part?"
"That's right, I'm kidding you. ”
Although I don't know what happened, but I can be considered saved, Huai Shi suddenly said in a shocking voice: "Can't you see this?"
As he spoke, he glanced down at the cheat sheet in his sleeve and added the last sentence.
Breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh, yes, yes, I don't understand the elegance of the lower level, and I almost collided with the nobleman......"
The skeleton found a staircase, panicked out of the way, opened the palace door, and let Huai Shi and the ox cart beside him drive straight into the palace.
Just after entering the city, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in front and behind, Huai Shi gratefully bowed to the figure in the carriage and thanked him.
It's a lifesaver.
In the candlelight, the silhouette that had never had a side relationship still did not waver.
Just waved the lute, and a dreamlike whisper sounded in my ears.
"Don't worry about it, it's just a good time. ”
She paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "There may be turmoil in Miyagi tonight, please pay attention to safety."
After that, without waiting for Huai Shi to reply, the ox cart went forward.
Leaving Huai Shi in place, dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened.
Soon, a waiter came up respectfully, led him through the gates, through the darkness, and finally led him into the astonishingly wide hall.
It seems that the banquet has already begun.
Many strange-looking ministers drank and had fun during the banquet, and there were evil-looking ghosts who ate human flesh and drank in large gulps, looking terrifying and noisy.
Huai Shi quietly found an unobtrusive position and sat down, covered her face, shrunk up, and looked around.
The premonition of death is getting stronger.
It was so strong that his eyes turned black for a while.
"I've come in, what the hell are you going to do?"
The voice of a crow in the shadows sounded.
And so on. ”
