There were nine people on stage with Lin Qiu, just enough of ten people, to Lin Qiu's surprise, one of the two people he met in the tavern that day also appeared on the stage, obviously one of the top ten.

"I said brother, it's hidden." Naturally, the man also noticed Lin Qiu, so he moved to Lin Qiu's side and said with a smile. Lin Qiu knew that his name was Liu Sheng, and he was a scholar who had failed to make a living, and he made a living by ghostwriting letters for others, not an elemental envoy.

"It's just a fluke." Lin Qiu smiled and shook his head.

"Dear audience and friends, let us congratulate the ten contestants on the stage for successfully passing the preliminary examination with warm applause!" The host's voice interrupted the conversation between Lin Qiu and Liu Sheng, and there was thunderous applause under the stage.

After the applause stopped, the host continued: "Before starting the re-examination, we have asked the ten finalists to introduce themselves, as those who have successfully passed the preliminary examination, we have also prepared a gift, 100 gold coins per person!" ”

"Wow!"

There was another burst of exclamations from the audience, Lin Qiu was also shocked by the generosity of the Bachelor's Mansion, a hundred gold coins may not be nothing for cultivators, but for ordinary people, they may not have seen so much money in their lives.

"Hahaha, Brother Mi, a hundred gold coins, I can't make so much money writing letters to people for a lifetime, and I'm really rich this time." Liu Sheng said excitedly to Lin Qiu.

"Mi Qiu", this is a fake name that Lin Qiu gave himself, after all, Snow Ridge City is too close to Snow Ridge Town, and revealing his real name is easy to cause trouble.

Lin Qiu smiled, he was not interested in gold coins, he came for the gold essence and stone gall.

"My name is Lu Fei, I'm from Snow Mountain Town, and I'm a second-level elemental envoy."

"My name is ......"

The self-introduction began, there were ten people in total, and soon it was Lin Qiu's turn.

"My name is Liu Sheng, a native of Snow Ridge City, my profession is to write letters on my behalf, and if you need to write letters on your behalf in the future, you can find me."

"Miqiu, I'm from out of town, passing by Snow Ridge Town." Lin Qiu also said simply.

"Okay, the ten contestants have introduced themselves, and our second round of re-examination will start soon, please prepare."

"The second round of re-examination will take the way of immediate elimination of the wrong question, until three people are left, the question type is a couplet, sorted according to the speed of the initial test, the slow one answers first, and the wrong answer is eliminated immediately, if no one has answered up, the remaining three people will be automatically promoted, do you understand?"

"Got it!" The contestants replied.

"Okay, let's start numbering." The host's voice fell, and the number was immediately displayed on the lamp above Lin Qiu and the others, Lin Qiu was the second, and Liu Sheng was the tenth.

"Looks like I'm the first to start."

"Don't be nervous, come on!" Lin Qiu encouraged.

"Please ask the No. 10 contestant to listen to the question, you have two minutes to think, and if you overtime, you will fail."

"The title is: Silkworms are insects in the world, please couplet."

"Hong is a riverside bird." Liu Sheng replied quickly, and the right one was also very neat, which attracted applause from the audience, and Lin Qiu also nodded, this Liu Sheng is indeed very powerful.

"Congratulations, passed! Please, the next one. ”

"Listen to the question: less water and sand is present"

"It's an earthen embankment."

The questions in the first round were not difficult, so everyone answered them, and until Lin Qiu came here, no one was eliminated.

"The second contestant listens to the question: the phoenix falls and the phoenix falls into the phoenix."

"Huh?" Lin Qiu sighed lightly, why are the people in front of him having very simple questions, and suddenly increasing the difficulty when they come to themselves? However, doubts are doubts, this question is not difficult for Lin Qiu, after a little thought, Lin Qiu said: Beads and pearls.

"Good!" As soon as Lin Qiu's words fell, the audience immediately remembered a cheer, which showed that Lin Qiu was extremely good, and Liu Sheng also gave Lin Qiu a thumbs up.

"Congratulations to No. 2 for passing the test, please listen to the No. 1 contestant."

At this time, Lin Qiucai slightly tilted his head to look at the No. 1 player beside him, and saw that the No. 1 contestant was a man about thirty years old, as gentle and elegant as a jade-faced scholar, but there was a hint of murder in his eyes, giving people a feeling that no one should approach. Chen Longfei, this is the name of No. 1. Lin Qiu quietly classified him as a dangerous character in his heart, this kind of person is best if he doesn't have an intersection.

"Topic: The eagle stands in the treetops, the moon shines on the oblique shadow, and the eagle does not slanted."

"The cat crouched in the corner of the wall, the wind blew the fur, and the cat did not move".

No. 1 replied very quickly, without thinking at all, Lin Qiu hadn't thought of the answer yet, he had already read it, and the audience naturally applauded again, but No. 1 kept his face expressionless, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"Master!" This is Lin Qiu's evaluation of No. 1.

Because only three people were retained in the semi-finals, the competition continued, and as the questions became more and more difficult, someone finally began to be eliminated, and the second round went to Lin Qiu, and three people had already been eliminated in front, but Liu Sheng was still there, which made Lin Qiu impressed with him.

"Contestant No. 2, please listen to the question: The water and land continent is not allowed to stop the boat, and the boat is not good."

"Tianxin Pavilion Pavilion Pigeon Flying Pavilion did not fly" Lin Qiu also quickly replied.

For literary things, Lin Qiu has mastered a lot, in his previous life, he was not obsessed with martial arts, and spent a lot of time reading, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of wealth, so it is still easy for Lin Qiu to chant poetry.

To the first place, Chen Longfei is still passing at a very fast speed, the competition enters the third round, the third round of questions is obviously much more difficult, Liu Sheng was eliminated first, until the third number, only one person in front of the promotion, if the third answer is correct, Lin Qiu and Chen Longfei are also right, then start the fourth round, if the third does not answer, Lin Qiu and Chen Longfei directly advance.

"No. 3, please listen to the question: listen to the rain, live in the rain, live in the rain and listen to the sound of the rain, the sound of dripping, listen, listen, listen."

This question can be described as extremely difficult, No. 3 frowned, and the audience was also thinking about it, two minutes passed quickly, and No. 3 did not give an answer.

"The re-examination is over, congratulations to the No. 5, No. 2, and No. 1 players for qualifying!" The host announced loudly, and the audience applauded enthusiastically.

"Everyone, be quiet, listen to me." At this time, Scholar Liu walked to the stage.

The audience suddenly fell silent, waiting for Scholar Liu to speak.

"First of all, congratulations to the three players who came out of the fierce competition and stood in the final round of the competition, and then, I would like to announce the rules of the finals, because this year's rules are different from the past, and I will introduce them here."

"There is only one topic in this year's finals, which is to compose a poem according to the situation, and then select the first place according to the literary style, so as to give away our rewards, but here I want to say sorry to everyone, that is, the next competition will not be public, and the final results will not be announced, please understand."

"Why don't you make it public, is there a shady scene?"

"That's it, why don't you make it public, is it because you don't want to give it to the distressed baby?"

The audience in the audience suddenly stopped, and there was no reason why the champion would not be announced in the competition.

"Don't get excited about your emotions, we have no choice but to make such a decision, it is really because the next few things will have a greater impact on the Bachelor's Mansion, and it is not appropriate to make it public, since the Bachelor's Mansion came to Snow Ridge City, there is nothing wrong with it in all aspects, so please understand this time, as compensation, the audience present can go to the Drunken Immortal Building to dine now, we have sent someone to prepare a banquet there, and please move there, today's matter is really sorry for you." Scholar Liu kept bowing as he spoke, and his words were very sincere, which made Lin Qiu look at him with admiration.

Finally invited everyone away, Scholar Liu came to Lin Qiu's side and said, "Three, please come with me to the house for a while, and then it may depend on you." ”

Lin Qiu was curious, did something happen suddenly? However, looking at the anxious appearance of Scholar Liu, he didn't ask much, followed closely and walked towards the Bachelor's Mansion.

Scholar Liu led the way in front, and they did not go to the council hall or study, but Scholar Liu led them directly to the underground secret room.

Lin Qiu suddenly raised his vigilance, he didn't know what Scholar Liu wanted to do, not only Lin Qiu, but the other two also tensed their nerves, ready to deal with emergencies at all times.

The vigilance of the three of them was naturally noticed by Scholar Liu, who was leading the way in front, so he turned back to the three of them and said, "The three of you don't have to worry, it's really a last resort to invite the three of you here, but the three of you can rest assured, Liu has no malicious intentions, so the three of you don't have to be so nervous." ”

After listening to Scholar Liu's words, the three of them were not so nervous, but they still maintained a certain vigilance.
