Chapter 263: The Seventh Pavilion
Jiang Han walked down the upward stairs to the Seventh Pavilion, his heart fluctuating.
"This book mountain is indeed extremely difficult, at first I thought that I could easily reach the eighth pavilion, and even it was not impossible to reach the ninth pavilion, but now it seems that I still underestimate the difficulty of the book mountain. I was almost eliminated in the sixth pavilion, no wonder there are less than a handful of scholars who can go to the seventh pavilion. ”
"The pressure on the stairs leading to the Seventh Pavilion is even greater, and now I am like carrying eight or nine hundred catties of stones on my body, if I hadn't received three times in the Sixth Pavilion, I am afraid that I would have fallen on the stairs leading to the Seventh Pavilion."
"Kong Yuanji seems to be not only in the Six-Rank Heavenly Realm, but also this person has a very big picture, he directly let go of his grudge against me in the Sixth Pavilion and cooperated with me, such a person is definitely a strong opponent." Jiang Han looked at Kong Yuanji who was walking in front of him and thought.
Kong Yuanji walked faster than him, and more than ten steps in front of him, he was about to arrive at the Seventh Pavilion.
Jiang Han was not in a hurry, walking slowly, and at the same time sorting out his thoughts.
"There seems to be a change below, not only are there fewer people coming up, but there seem to be people who shouldn't be there."
Jiang Han tried his best to look down into the distance, and after six times of talent descending from the sky, at this time, his cultivation was already in the middle of the six-grade heavenly realm, and his eyesight was far stronger than before.
Looking from afar, you can see a bald head arriving at the sixth pavilion.
"Bald? Was that a scholar with shaved hair, or a monk? Jiang Han frowned.
……
"Let's go, let's go to Xuehai." In the sixth pavilion, Xiao Lori was about to go to Xuehai with Wen Ming, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a monk walking to the sixth pavilion.
The monk's robe was stained with blood, and he dragged a somewhat broken butcher knife in his right hand, and his face was hideous, as if an evil ghost had been born.
Little Lori and Wen Ming glanced at each other, both of them showing vigilance.
Monk? How could there be a monk here? It's not good!
Monk Tianlong looked at the attic, dragged the butcher's knife and walked towards Wen Ming, grinned, and said in a cruel voice: "Poor monk Tianlong, from the land of bliss in the West, I hope to compete with the Confucian students of Great Xia, please take out the redundant kick teaching!" ”
Although he said it extremely politely, there was a vicious murderous aura rushing over him.
Wen Ming looked at the Tianlong monk vigilantly, his whole body tensed, and he felt a huge threat from this monk.
Little Lori squinted at him and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Tianlong? Do you want to compete with us? Do you know where this is? ”
The Tianlong monk did not answer, but said, "Please also ask the donor...... Teach! ”
The next moment, the Tianlong monk laughed fiercely, raised the butcher knife, and cut off the head of the little Lori directly with a move of Dharma to send the guest.
“!!!”
Although Xiao Lori knew that this monk was not good and had been on guard, she still didn't expect that the Tianlong monk would be so quick and the knife technique would be so fast.
In a panic, she hurriedly jumped backwards, and dodged the Tianlong knife when she couldn't make a move, but her face was still hurt by the knife qi.
The sword qi rushed to the face, the first knife of Tianlong missed, and the second knife slashed from top to bottom, and the blade flashed with red and purple light, which was extremely weird.
Little Lori retreated again and dodged, and said urgently: "Wen Ming, join forces to deal with him!" ”
Under one move, Xiao Lori immediately knew that Tianlong's martial arts cultivation was extremely high, and she might not be his opponent if she fought alone, so she immediately shouted coquettishly.
Wen Ming hesitated when he heard this, and Tianlong had already swung his third sword.
……
……
"Below...... It seems that there is a fight? ”
Jiang Han frowned slightly, but unfortunately, on the stairs to the Seventh Pavilion, there seemed to be a mysterious force blocking the line of sight, resulting in a difficult way to see what was happening in the Sixth Pavilion.
"Wen Ming and Yishan are all together, both of them are in the six-grade realm, even if they encounter a strong enemy, nothing will happen, not to mention that there is an examiner in the book mountain."
Jiang Han didn't think much about it, and walked up the last three steps before arriving at the seventh pavilion.
He looked up and saw that the Seventh Pavilion was much taller and more magnificent than the Sixth Pavilion, faintly exuding a mysterious aura.
Outside the seventh pavilion, there are three tall stone monuments, arranged from left to right.
Next to the three stone tablets sat an old man in white clothes and white hair, with his eyes closed, who was the chief examiner of the Seventh Pavilion.
At this moment, Kong Yuanji sat in front of the second stone tablet, his brows furrowed, his face sad, as if he was trying his best to think.
Jiang Han was slightly surprised, what problem did Kong Yuanji encounter? Actually grim-faced?
Jiang Han took two steps closer, and the examiner stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground.
Jiang Han looked at where he was pointing, and saw two words engraved on the floor: Pair!
"It turns out that this level is a pair of ......" Jiang Han suddenly realized that pairs are also the content of Confucianism, but they belong to the trail in Confucianism.
Jiang Han looked at the examiner and said, "What are the rules?" ”
The white-haired examiner's eyes did not open, and he said: "Three pairs, choose two pairs at will, and you can go to the eighth pavilion if you are right." Within an hour, you can't match up, and stop at the seventh pavilion. ”
"Three pairs, the stone tablet should be a pair, don't be an absolute ...... for the ages"
Jiang Han groaned slightly, looked up at the first stone tablet on the left, and saw a couplet engraved on the stone tablet: Heaven is a chessboard and stars, who dares to play?
There is a space on the right side, which should be the place for students to write the next couplet.
Looking at this uplink, a surging and majestic aura came to the face, and the whole person seemed to appear on a huge chessboard.
Jiang Han was slightly shocked, it was actually this uplink.
There are many types of pairs, such as overlapping couplets, numeric couplets, palindromic couplets, ligatures, missing couplets, split couplets, double associations, and so on.
It's not hard to get a normal pair right, it only takes some time to figure it out, but it's those tricky and weird uplinks that are hard.
And this Shanglian in the book mountain is not those tricky and eccentric, deliberately embarrassing people, but it is difficult to make this Shanglian majestic, with the sky as the chessboard and the stars as the chess pieces, full of momentum to lay out the world.
The next link also needs to have this kind of momentum.
"This pair is really difficult, and there is no link on the top, is it because Kong Yuanji failed to match?"
Jiang Han asked, "How to write the next couplet on the stone tablet?" ”
The white-haired examiner said: "Chant out the lower link you are against, if it is successful, the lower link you are against will become the pair of the inscription, and it will appear on the stone tablet, and if it fails, it will not appear." ”
Jiang Han glanced at Kong Yuanji again and found that he was still sitting in front of the second stele and trying his best to think, his face full of sadness.
"The pair on the first stele is so difficult, and the second stele must be even more difficult, perhaps because Kong Yuanji can't match the pair on the first stele, so he chooses the second stele, who knows that the second stele is more difficult......"
Jiang Han didn't think much about it, and he didn't look at the pair of the other two stone tablets, but thought for a moment and said:
"Heaven is a chessboard and stars, who dares to play?"
"The earth is made of pipa and the road is made of strings, which one can play?"
After he read out the lower couplet, the first stone tablet trembled slightly, and the lower couplet that Jiang Han had paired slowly appeared, and its words were like inscriptions, exuding a faint golden light.
The examiner opened his eyes in some surprise and looked at the first stone tablet, and his face suddenly looked shocked.
Monument?!
He actually got right?
There is the power of a saint in this mountain of books, and if you want to inscribe a monument, you have to be recognized by a saint.
"Heaven makes the chessboard and the stars are the sons, who dares to play? The ground is made of pipa and the road is made of strings, which one can be played? Wonderful, wonderful. The examiner looked at the contents on the stele and marveled in his heart.
Looking at the lower link that appeared on the stele, Jiang Han was not surprised, he knew that this lower link would definitely be able to be inscribed.
In fact, he also thought of several lower links, such as:
The ground is rice paper, and the mountain is the pen, who can write?
The ground is the bed, the cloud is the quilt, who dares to lie down?
But the first one is better.
Immediately, Jiang Han walked towards the second stone tablet, Kong Yuanji still lowered his head and pondered, his fingers writing on the ground, his lips squirming, and muttering to himself.
This kid ...... I'm going crazy...... Jiang Han glanced at Kong Yuanji, then looked up at the pair on the second stone tablet, and at this glance, he knew why Kong Yuanji was stumped.
The pair above is simply an absolute!
Qin Se pipa, the head of the eight kings.
"Qin Se pipa, the head of the eight kings...... Because the pipa is a double king, so it is a general head, this upper link is really extremely difficult, it can be called absolute, no wonder Kong Yuanji has thought for so long and has no answer...... If you want to match, you need to find four words that have the same ...... as the pipa."
Jiang Han stared at the stele and pondered, and the "Qin Se Pipa" on the stele seemed to have turned into four heavenly kings holding musical instruments, jumping and playing in front of him.
It was as if his consciousness was about to be sucked onto the stele.
"I see, if you hesitate for too long and can't link up and down, the whole person will be sucked in, and this pavilion is not only about the pair, but also about your own will. This Shanglian is still too difficult for the Heaven Realm, even if the Jinshi comes, he may not be able to match it, let alone two in an hour, the seventh pavilion of Shushan is simply a hell of difficulty! ”
Jiang Han did not hesitate, opened his mouth and said:
"Qin Se pipa, the head of the eight kings."
"The ghosts and ghosts, the four little ghosts have their own intestines."
The pipa has two kings on it, and the ghosts and ghosts are all ghostly, which can be said to be extremely wonderful.
After Jiang Han read out the next couplet, Kong Yuanji, who was sitting on the ground and trying his best to think, suddenly raised his head, two bright lights shot out of his eyes, his face showed excitement, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Okay, that's right!" The charm of the ghost is against the pipa, the four little ghosts are against the eight kings, and the head is facing the belly...... Wonderful, wonderful......"
He suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Han, and when he saw Jiang Han's face, he looked dejected.
He's the one who's on it?!
Is this person a coincidence or is it so powerful?
Kong Yuanji hurriedly looked at the first stele again, and was stunned after seeing the lower link on the stele......
Suddenly, Kong Yuanji laughed miserably, and he felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't match the pair, but Jiang Han easily matched it.
At this time, Jiang Han's lower link appeared on the second stone tablet, and its words exuded a faint golden light.
It's an inscription again.
The examiner looked at the lower link of the second stone tablet in amazement, and said, "Good couplet!" ”
"You can go to the Eighth Pavilion!"
……
Outside the Book Mountain.
When Jiang Han faced the two pairs and could arrive at the Eighth Pavilion, everyone was stunned, stunned in place, and looked at the picture on the prism in a daze.
Originally, I thought that the difficulty of the Seventh Pavilion was far greater than before, and even if Jiang Han was able to pass the level, it would take an extremely long time.
Who knows how long he didn't think about it before he met two pairs.
Regardless of whether he can pass the exam of the Eighth Pavilion of Shushan, he will be able to reach the Eighth Pavilion.
In other words, his achievements in Shushan are already on par with that Confucian and Taoist genius Yu Ao.
But how old was Yu Ao then, and how old is Jiang Han now?
"Jiang Han is actually good at pairing, this pair is simply wonderful!" The happiest person is King Yue, who not only won the money, but also won the prince.
Although Jiang Han has not yet reached the eighth pavilion, the seventh pavilion has already passed, and even if the eighth pavilion cannot pass, it is still counted as the eighth pavilion.
The prince's face was ugly, how could he ...... How could he match two pairs so easily?
This person must not stay!
Otherwise, it will be an obstacle to my ascension to the throne!
A faint killing intent flashed in the prince's eyes.
"Prince, we can make a bet on it." At this time, King Yue said with a smile.
The prince's face was gloomy and he said, "Does King Yue also lack this thousand taels of gold?" Don't worry, when Jiang Han goes to the eighth pavilion, the palace will cash it out. But...... The staircase from the seventh pavilion to the eighth pavilion is also very sad, and it is unknown whether he will be able to reach the eighth pavilion. ”
King Yue smiled, the prince is still a dead duck with a hard mouth!
At this moment, a great Confucian said: "Wen Mingyi Mountain is about to be defeated!" ”
This sentence instantly attracted everyone's attention.
I saw that above the sixth pavilion, Wen Ming and Yishan joined forces to deal with Tianlong, but Tianlong brandished a butcher's knife, but the two of them were defeated.
Yi Shan is petite, waving small fists, which seem to be extremely soft, but every punch is filled with the sound of wind explosion.
Wen Ming stood in the distance and used the war poems to help, staring at the Yishan who was fighting with the Heavenly Dragon, and said secretly in his heart: "The martial arts cultivation of this Yi family is really not weak, plus the holy liquid she carries on her body, it is enough to recover her talent four times, and she will be my strong opponent in the next Xuehai Competition, if I am not careful, I may lose to her...... It's better to use Tianlong to deplete her holy liquid and solve an opponent of Xuehai for me! ”
Thinking of this, although Wen Ming was helping Yishan, he quietly left some strength, so that Tianlong and Yishan could consume each other.
Yi Shan didn't know that Wen Ming had such a mind, and his heart was only on resisting the butcher's knife of the Heavenly Dragon.
The more she hit her, the more terrifying it became, this Tianlong monk was full of anger, like a hellish ghost, and it seemed that he was not afraid of death, no matter what kind of damage her fist caused to the Tianlong monk, Tianlong seemed to be painless, and swung a knife to attack.
As time passed, Yi Shan felt more and more that he was not an opponent, and looked at Wen Ming anxiously, expecting him to use more powerful Confucianism to help.
However, Wen Ming saw it as invisible, and still slowly performed Confucianism.
