Chapter Fifty-Four: Singing Dan Meeting
Of course, Pei Ye didn't listen to these rumors, and as soon as he left, he immediately went to the west courtyard to knock on the door, but the girl only opened the door a crack, and the two door panels showed their heads between them.
"You're done too? Come out and practice. Pei Li invited.
Li Yiqing yawned lazily: "It's so late, hurry up and go to sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." β
Yes, because Pei Li also moved to the martial arts hall to live.
"But isn't there time tomorrow?" Pei Li frowned and stretched out his hand to push the door open, but the girl had already shrunk her head and pushed him, locking him out.
The next day.
When Pei Ye opened his eyes from the bed, he thought he had woken up early, because it was still very dark, but the next moment his ears woke up, and he knew that it was raining again.
Pei Ye also likes the rain, the small kind.
It's like this weather today, but even if it doesn't affect cultivation, there won't be too many people on the martial arts field for a while.
Because after more than 20 days of anticipation from all parties, the second furnace of the Ascending Dan finally arrived in Bowangzhou City, and the "Singing Dan Meeting" will be held today.
"Ascending Pill", this miraculous elixir, no matter what your roots are, can steadily make you step from three to four lives. If you are already in four lives, there is a good chance that it will allow you to step into the realm of five lives.
If you have been pondering in the realm of five beings for several years, it can still help you step into the realm of six lives, but at this time, you have to take a look at the bones and the accumulation in the current realm.
But the requirements are still not too harsh - if Lin Lin can get a Ascending Pill, he can steadily advance to the Sixth Life.
Even when it comes to the sixth life and the seventh life, this pill can provide some visible assistance.
The first furnace has been distributed to the most suitable people in the state, but the demand for this elixir is endless. Four of the second furnace coins will be given to the four best young people, and it is said that in the future, this reward will only be given in autumn, and there will be no more winter and spring comparisons after that.
The ownership of the last one will be determined by this singing meeting.
If you don't have the strength, you also have the opportunity to fight for financial resources.
Pei Ye went out after washing, and only Zhang Junxue was wielding a knife in the rain on the martial arts field, and when Pei Ye passed by, the splashing rain hit his face with a slight pain.
Pei Ye didn't disturb her, and crossed the martial arts field to the gate of the West Courtyard, and sure enough, there was a "ding" inside.
I don't know which is the earliest of Li Yiqing and Zhang Junxue, anyway, when Pei Ye gets up every day, the two of them are already practicing.
With Pei Li, the three of them basically had to be at least half an hour earlier than the other students every day.
Others are not lazier, it's just that how much exercise a person can endure every day is actually a talent. Pei Ye is still refreshed and refreshed every night and gets up early, and Xiao Qiu pinches his work and rest every day, and still feels tired and tired.
The Longmen class will arrange for students to participate in the Luzhou Poetry Club before the martial arts competition, which is also for the sake of rest.
At this time, Pei Ye stood in front of the door and raised his hand to knock. Soon the girl trotted over and pulled away, her unsheathed sword under her flank, and the sorrow on her brow had not yet dissipated.
"What's wrong? Didn't you learn the last three forms? Come out and practice while it's still early. Pei Li smiled.
Li Yiqing put away his sorrow and smiled back: "I'm not free!" I'll pack up, you go change your clothes, let's hurry up and get a good seat." β
"Huh? I don't go. β
"Why don't you go?"
"I don't buy it."
"I don't buy too much, and I go and see the excitement and there is nothing." The girl said, "This is the first appearance of the Ascending Pill, and many people have been preparing for it for more than a month." Especially our candidates for this year's martial arts competition, I guess many people are going to go - have you ever seen a singing and selling meeting before? β
β.β
Pei Ye has never seen any singing and selling meetings, he doesn't know the word "Gu" when he sees it.
"Then," the boy was indeed intrigued, "but I still have to practice swords." β
"You're invincible!" Li Yiqing said, "Let's go, it's just half a day, we can also talk about swords while watching." β
She stretched out her finger and picked at the small heart-cutting glass on her waist.
"Okay then." Pei Ye nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "But I don't have any clothes to change, this body is just washed, okay?" β
"Okay! If you can't do anything, you can wear whatever you want. Li Yiqing said, "But I have to change, you can wait for me." β
After a while, the girl changed into a dress up, she took off her green clothes, her hair was hairpinned, she changed into a yellow shirt, the iconic wing makeup at the corners of her eyes was not painted again, and she didn't even take the lost emerald sword, no longer like the current generation of the emerald feather sword gate, but really became a lively girl.
Pei Ye looked inside, and several Tsing Yi of different heights were walking around in the courtyard, and the tallest one was taller than himself: "Aren't your senior brothers and sisters going together?" β
Li Yiqing shook his head and handed him an umbrella: "No, let's go." β
Going out to the south, the two walked along the street, the rain was still not heavy, and Pei Ye did not hold up the umbrella.
This "singing Dan meeting" is indeed as lively as the girl said, at this time the sky has just brightened, and there are many cars and horses along the way to surpass them. Li Yiqing was originally walking outside, but looking at the water droplets repeatedly stirred up by the carriage and horse, he couldn't help but lift his skirt and frowned, and pulled the young man to lead him outside.
β.β
β.β The girl blinked.
Pei Ye really didn't care about such a little sewage, and the girl's skirt looked much more expensive, so he let her hide by her side.
"How long are we going to go, and where will the singing Dan be?" Pei Liquid Road.
"It's not far away, it's in Bowang Gardenβhave you been to Bowang Garden?"
"I've been to its door."
"It's still very beautiful inside, and if you have time for a while, you can take a stroll, but there must be a lot of people today."
"When I first arrived in the state city, I had never seen such a tall building, and I wanted to climb to the top floor to have a look, but people wouldn't let me."
"Ao, you said that I haven't been up to the ninth floor, and people have a special name called 'Han Pavilion'." The girl smiled, "It's a place where all kinds of ceremonies are held, and it can't be opened a few times a year. However, the senior brother has climbed up and said that the scenery is not much different from the seventh or eighth floor, but it feels very different. β
"How did your senior brother get there?"
"Winter competition Wu Kui, Han Pavilion is named. The rewards for this year's autumn competition have also been announced, haven't you seen it? β
"Oh! I read it to the head before, but I didn't understand what 'sweating' meant. β
Li Yiqing stood still, leaned over and picked up a small wooden stick, dipped it in water and wrote the word "Han Ge" on the wall next to him, and nodded: "'Han' refers to pen and ink articles, because there are ink blots of previous assassins on the ninth floor, so this name is taken." β
Pei Ye nodded suddenly: "I've seen this word." β
The girl said "um", and was about to throw away the stick, when she was suddenly stunned: "Then do you know how to write my name?" β
"Aren't you called 'Li Piaoqing'?" Pei Ye gestured.
"I knew it." The girl wrote the word "ethereal" on the wall again.
"What does that mean?" Pei Li said curiously.
"Kingfishers come to the collection when they fly, and they are described. Looking back on the green color, shaking the ethereal green - I grew up in the door, and this name was chosen for me by the teacher. β
"Ah" Pei Ye nodded blankly, he didn't recognize 'ethereal' originally, but now even 'Qing' is covered with a layer of fog.
"It's an ancient poem, a song of kingfishers." The girl smiled and explained, "The teachers always say that this name is clever, because I have grown into this name. β
Pei Ye then turned his head and looked at her face seriously.
Li Yiqing raised his hand to block it, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "What are you doing?" β
"Ah, I haven't seen a kingfisher, I'll see what a kingfisher looks like through you."
β.β The girl gave him a blank look.
The two chatted while walking, Bowangyuan was indeed not too far away, and it was soon in front of them. In the rain, there are high-rise buildings, mahogany green tiles, green willows and large lakes, and today's Bowang Garden is far different from the bright light of the Ming Hall of the day.
The Tsing Yi people came out from afar, the car has a road, the people are humane, and although there are many visitors, they are in order.
This singing Dan meeting can be called a wide invitation to guests and friends, and people with heads and faces, as long as they have one of the martial arts, wealth, and fame, have all received invitations from the initiative. If you don't receive it, as long as you ask someone, you will immediately give a copy.
Even if you are not famous, it doesn't matter, as long as you come here today and test your qualifications a little, you can go in. Li Yiqing said that the verification was also very loose, so Pei Ye took a look at it curiously - it was the threshold that he couldn't pass.
Fortunately, he followed closely the descendants of the Cuiyu Sword Sect, and the Tsing Yi who were waiting didn't even ask.
The number of people attending the meeting today has far exceeded the number of people who can support a singing and selling, Pei Ye walked into this garden, and his head looked left and right in novelty.
It's not that I haven't seen plants, flowers, birds, and springs, but the artificially exquisite design of the grass and the birds and trees under the spring and the white beads flying on the top of the red pavilion is the first time to catch the eye.
Outside the red pavilion, one light blue and one reddish brown, two middle-aged scribes in long robes have straight spines, standing with their hands in their hands and laughing and talking, a boy standing on the steps of the pavilion holding an umbrella for them, and a boy holding a small stove that he doesn't know what to do.
The whole garden is a scene like this, if you want to describe it, it is probably well-dressed, talking and laughing.
The overall atmosphere of people and scenery is quite unfamiliar to Pei Ye, who grew up in a natural and rough environment, full of laughter and scolding. Now this scene brings him a sense of "pruning" - the grass and trees come from scissors, and the people come from those scriptures and classics that he rarely reads.
But the boy was not disgusted, in fact, the trimming made him feel very good, the sharp and rough things disappeared, and the contact between people became round and gentle.
The boy didn't know that this was a Ye Gong good dragon for the time being, because he hadn't been trimmed yet, and some of the sharpness itself was difficult to suppress, let alone removed.
"Look, isn't that Bai Sibing?" Li Yiqing didn't have any feelings about this commonplace scene, she pointed out the figures in the garden to the young man, "He has a grandson of appropriate age, and this is the first time to participate in the martial arts competition. β
Pei Ye turned his head to look at it.
"There is also the big dart head of Weiyuan Dart Bureau and the boss of Dingyun Firm! Xing Sima, the one next to him is the second descendant of Baizhu Pavilion, Zhang Mozhu, but he has just stepped into the fifth life, so he shouldn't be too eager for this Dan."
The girl pointed out one by one, almost everyone had a name with a lot of weight, and Pei Ye knew at this time that there were so many powerful people in this state city.
Where are they on weekdays?
The young man thought curiously, not hindering the exclamation on his lips: "You even recognize so many people?" β
"I took the list and portrait a while ago and wrote them down, and people don't know me very well." Li Yiqing said with a smile.
Suddenly, a recognized figure also appeared in Pei Li's field of vision, he waved his hand, and at the same time, the little fat man with five short statures also saw him, was very surprised, and ran over.
"Brother Zhang." Pei Ye arched his hand.
"Miss Li!!" Zhang Dingyun excitedly made a salute, "Under Zhang Dingyun, the name of the firm." I have admired the name for a long time, but I saw it with my own eyes, and your style is even better! β
"Ah, it's Zhang Gongzi." Li Yiqing smiled in surprise, "Look up for a long time." β
"I have nothing to look up to, you have to keep your head down when you talk to me." Zhang Dingyun unfolded a fan with both hands, "That. Can you give me a name? β
"Okay, but I don't have any ink or pen at hand."
"Just engrave the fan on the handle."
Li Yiqing nodded, untied the glass on his waist, and inscribed a line for him.
Pei Li was already confused by this behavior: "Why is everyone looking for you to write an inscription." β
Li Yiqing smiled: "I don't know." β
Zhang Dingyun was unhappy: "Are you sour?" β
β?β
"If you get the top four this year, I'll ask you questions." Zhang Dingyun folded the fan babyishly.
"Do I ignore you?"
"Ignore it, ignore it, it's a big deal, I beg you." Zhang Dingyun snorted, "Anyway, I'm a waste myself, so I love to watch other people's powerful people." β
Li Yiqing nodded: "That's right!" When the scholar sees the great Confucian asking for words, we martial artists also ask for a trace when they see a powerful person, and I want to see Ming Qitian, and I must squeeze through. β
"That's it!" Zhang Dingyun looked at Pei Li, "You want to meet Ming Qitian, don't you want to go up and have a look?" β
She said in front of me that she was Ming Qitian, and I didn't move my feet."
"You cow." Zhang Dingyun snorted, turned his head and looked, "I'll find Zhang Mozhu to ask another question." β
Zhang Ding turned around and left, and the two walked for a while, turning to the back of the Moon Catching Tower, Li Yiqing raised his hand and pointed: "That's the place where the concert will be held - Guanfeng Platform." β
Pei Ye looked up, the building in front of him was a strange structure with a wide bottom, a narrow middle and a wide top, the first floor was very wide, about able to loosely accommodate hundreds of people, and the middle floor shrank by half, but when it reached the top floor, it stretched violently and became a high platform that could accommodate nearly a thousand people.
This platform has a roof, but the holes are open on all sides, and the lake is close to the mountain, so it is conceivable that even if a thousand people really go in, they will not feel depressed.
At this time, the stage was still being adjusted, and the early visitors were all visiting the long pavilion below.
As soon as Pei Ye and the two approached here, they suddenly "boomed", and the rain suddenly tightened. There was a shock, and people ran to the pavilion, and Pei Li and the others happened to be close, so they hurriedly went in and occupied a place.
Then laugh and watch the people behind them trot to fill the remaining places one by one.
"It's raining again, do you still have to wash the streets this time?" A male voice came from the side.
