Chapter 106: Su Lang's Talent Is Exhausted? (Ask for the first order!)
Su Wen stood in the middle of the field, and there was a brief blank in his mind.
For the first and only time, he felt the panic of failing an exam.
Seeing that the white-clothed court official resealed his exam papers, Su Wen's heart suddenly tightened, he knew that it would be too late to regret it.
Thousands of shouldn't, never should, put so many poems that have been praised for centuries and don't copy them, but copy a poem of Li Bai's "Difficult to Walk"!
Of course, there is no Li Bai in this world, so Su Wen's poem will never be accused of plagiarism, but until the moment he finished writing, he inadvertently ignored a more important thing.
If it weren't for the confusion and incomprehension on the face of the white-clothed court official, maybe Su Wen wouldn't have been surprised by this at all!
So what's the problem?
Is there a tendency in this poem to favor the demon race? Or is there a taboo word that shouldn't be there between the lines? Or is it something that Su Wen misspelled and omitted?
Neither.
The biggest problem with this poem is in the genre!
In general, the development of poetry in the Sacred Words Continent is faintly consistent with the historical process of Su Wen's previous life, and poems, words, songs, and fu have all existed long before the death of the Divine Book, so the criteria for judging it are also based on the norms of each genre.
Regardless of poetry and songs, there must be norms first, and then talk about artistic conception.
However, in this world, there are no three fathers and sons of the Cao family, and there is no poet Saint Du Fu, so there are two very important poetic styles missing in the Sacred Words Continent.
That is after the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci". A new kind of poetry made by collecting and sorting out poems, Yuefu poems!
Su Wen wrote this poem "Difficult to Walk". To be precise, it belongs to the "New Yuefu". It is a new poetry genre innovated on the basis of Yuefu poems in the Han Dynasty, which has been vigorously advocated by Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen.
And the founder of Xin Yuefu is Du Fu!
There is no Du Fu on the Sacred Words Continent, so Su Wen can win the first literary position with "Ascending", and the poem will be passed down to the world, but at the same time, it has also made this "Difficult to Walk" a miscellaneous poem that has never appeared in this world.
In other words, this poem may not be recognized by talent!
However. What is the judging criterion for the second session of the state exam?
If judged on this basis, Su Wen is very likely to fail in this second exam, not to mention the top of the list, and it is even very likely to fall to Sun Shan!
Su Wen actually ignored such an important issue in such a critical exam!
A trace of cold sweat hurriedly slipped from Su Wen's forehead, and he watched the white-clothed court official walk farther and farther away, until he handed over his exam paper to the hands of the three chief examiners.
The wood is already in the boat, and he will never be able to return to the sky.
"Damn!" scolded secretly, and Su Wen tried his best to calm his mind. After all, the state exam is not over yet, and he still has one last chance to talk about it.
Now, Su Wen no longer has the luxury of the so-called top of the list, and can enter the first list. When you enter the academy, you are satisfied.
Of course, his thoughts. Only he himself never knows.
Almost everyone's eyes in the audience were focused on the answer sheet that Su Wen had already submitted. Only one person noticed the strangeness on Su Wen's face.
"What's wrong?" Mu Xi's voice was as cold as ever. But for some reason, it warmed Su Wen's heart.
Shaking his head slightly, Su Wen didn't explain much, but said with a wry smile: "Now you can rest assured that you can have one less opponent again." ”
Hearing this, Mu Xi's pupils suddenly constricted, and she asked again, "What taboo did you commit?"
Su Wen shook his head again, but stopped talking.
It's not that he doesn't want to explain to Mu Xi, but he really doesn't know how to speak, could it be that he told Mu Xi that he was likely to be judged to be off the list because he wrote a new Yuefu poem that didn't belong to this genre?
Mu Xi also fell silent.
After a long time, Tang Ji and Ning Qingbing completed the answer sheet almost at the same time, got up and walked towards the pergola, and Mu Xi's eyes also quietly flashed a trace of last hesitation.
Just when Tang Ji and Ning Qingbing were about to walk into the shed, Mu Xi finally made a decision, she stood on tiptoe and whispered two words in Su Wen's ear. Regardless of whether Su Wen heard it clearly or not, Mu Xi's figure flashed and hid in the shadows of the pergola, her expression calm as usual, as if nothing had happened.
However, Su Wen's expression was shocked.
It's a pity that before he could turn his head to look for Mu Xi to ask clearly, Tang Ji had already taken the lead to meet him.
"Haha, Su Shengcai, this scene should be easy for you, right?" Tang Ji's face was full of red light, it seemed that he should have done well in the exam, but he didn't know that his happiness was based on Su Wen's pain at the moment.
Perhaps it was Mu Xi's two words that had an effect like a spell, Su Wen barely squeezed out a smile and said softly: "You didn't write poetry, why did it take so long?"
Su Wen successfully changed the topic, while Tang Ji smiled mysteriously: "Hey, you'll know when the list is released!"
Su Wen looked suspicious, during the time he was preparing for the state exam, he had been reviewing with this dead fat man, it was impossible that the other party had prepared a killer feature that he didn't know?
However, seeing that Tang Ji insisted on not saying anything, Su Wen no longer insisted on it, and turned to look at Ning Qingbing: "How did you do in the exam?"
Ning Qingbing smiled and said, "It's a normal play." ”
Su Wen nodded and encouraged: "That's enough, now there is only one last time left, answer the questions according to the method I told you before, even if you can't get a high score, you won't deviate from the general trend, and there is no problem in getting a passing score." ”
Ning Qingbing said respectfully: "Remember the teachings of Mr. ”
Su Wen smiled helplessly, he was still a little unaccustomed to Ning Qingbing's respectful attitude, but he didn't say anything more, but as if he was inadvertent, he swept his gaze to the shadow in the shed again.
And Mu Xi didn't know when she left.
A moment later. It was time to ring the bell and collect the papers, and the white-clothed court officials sorted out and sealed all the answer sheets. All of them were presented in front of the three examiners, and then they hurried to the backyard to get the food box. Distributed to a large number of candidates.
At this time, it was already evening, but the three examiners had no intention of eating at all, so they left the room with the stack of heavy examination papers.
All I did was to be able to see the poem written by Su Wen as soon as possible.
The three of them soon came to a simple barracks, which was the marking point for the second session of the state examination, and the reason why they chose here was because it contained a mysterious flower array, which could resist the suppression of talent by the gas clock.
Therefore, as soon as the three of them stepped into it, the various examination papers in their arms could not wait to exude different levels of talent.
But it didn't attract talent.
This illustrates. In the second session of the state examination, there was no work of enlightenment and above.
After discovering this, while the three of them were surprised, they all frowned slightly, thinking in their hearts, could it be that Su Wen played abnormally?
At the same time, the state lord took the lead in speaking: "It seems that Su Shengcai didn't seem to have written a work that can make me wait for amazement this time, but this way." It proves an interesting phenomenon that I have discovered. ”
Lord Yuan felt a little inexplicable at the state lord's words, and asked suspiciously, "Interesting phenomenon?"
"That's good!" the state lord nodded and explained, "I don't know if the two of you know, the two poems in Su Wen's "Wen Yi Carry the Dao" list. When did they do that?"
Without waiting for the two of them to speak, the governor asked and replied to himself: "It is rumored in Linchuan City, when Su Wen wrote "Ascending". It was when he had just been enlightened in the temple, that is, when he first received the ordination. And the song "Grass" is the treasure of the town left by Su Wen before leaving Linchuan City. ”
As for the lyrics "Meet and Greet". Presumably, as long as the guests who have visited Lin Huaju can see the original work hanging on the wall, that is to say, this poem was made by Su Wen after entering the Huizhou Mansion. ”
After a pause, the state lord smiled lightly: "I don't know if the two of you have discovered that although Su Wen is a well-deserved saint of my human race, the poems he made have slowly changed from the realm of inheritance, to the transcendent realm, and finally to the realm of enlightenment, and his grade is gradually falling!"
Lord Yuanjun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"
The state lord met the fierce gaze of the court monarch and said calmly: "Now the two of you have seen that the second session of this state exam was born without enlightenment, so I just guess, is that Su Wen already Jiang Lang's talent?"
With the words of the state lord, the audience suddenly fell into a dead silence.
After a while, the female academician from Hongming Academy glanced at the state lord deeply, and then took out a copy from the pile of exam papers, and said, "This is the top of today's second session, do you have any objections?"
In the contrast of the strength and weakness of the talent, it is a very simple matter to choose the top of this round, and it is also the fairest judgment. The state lord and the court lord reacted immediately, but they just raised their eyes and swept lightly in the remaining exam papers, and then nodded one after another: "It's no different." ”
Then it was opened on the spot. The female academician said, in front of the person, and gently erased the names of the candidates who were sealed on the examination papers.
The next moment, all three of them were stunned.
Two words were written on it very neatly.
But it's not Su Wen, it's Chai Nan!
This exam paper, which is the most talented at the moment, actually belongs to the first day of Yan Kingdom, Chai Nan!
After a long time, the female academician handed over the examination paper to the lord of the Holy Inquisition, took a deep breath, and said undoubtedly: "Let's use this as the top of the list for the time being." ”
The state lord heard the sound of the strings, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, "For the time being?"
The female academician nodded slightly, and in an understatement, she took out a gold wire fishing net from her waist and said: "I will store the remaining examination papers here in the name of the first examiner, and no one is allowed to borrow them! After the state examination, I hope that the two of you will join me to jointly request a review!" (to be continued......)
