Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wenbi

A month and a half later, Donglin Academy also ushered in the busiest day of the biennial, that is, many self-qualified academies came to challenge the title of the world's first academy, although Donglin Academy has been the "world's first" for decades, and has begun to slowly show some decay momentum, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and still maintains an extremely strong position.

At this time, the scene of Donglin Academy is definitely not as dick as the Tianchang Academy where Lin Fengjin was before, all daily life is as usual, calm as ever, showing the style of a famous family. And when the famous teachers of the rest of the academies led the team and led the disciples to arrive, Donglin Academy calmly sent a great Confucian to greet him, which seemed to be very face-saving, only when the other three academies came, two Hongru were dispatched, which was already amazing, as for those Yinxian-level characters who guarded the luck of the world, they had never moved at all.

Lin Fengjin originally thought that this grand event had nothing to do with his own estimates, but he was simply called before the big competition began. What is it for? It turned out to be his "wind and rain" couplet.

Everyone is a scholar, pay attention to all-round development, always can not start to compete in martial arts, fierce and ruthless, so the convention before the start of the big competition, there is a literary meeting, as the saying goes, there is no second, there is no first, the things at this meeting, it must not be like in the martial arts, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and fight it clearly.

And it is impossible for the literary meeting to be like the entrance examination, everyone is silent and secluded, and first do dozens of articles to choose a champion list, and there is too much time wasted, so the comparison is nothing more than debate and couplet. Poetry.

And these things are not just hard work can be made, what is important is a talent. It's like an examiner, it's not uncommon for seventy or eighty years old to rely on hard work and perseverance to be an official in the examination, but among the poets of the past dynasties, there are few late bloomers, and those in their seventies and eighties suddenly came out with a famous article, so there have been several consecutive sessions of Donglin Academy that have been suppressed in this regard, and it is very shameless.

Although it is said that this matter may not be able to affect the ownership of the first place in the world, after all, the right and wrong of the truth ultimately depends on whose fist is bigger. But for the leadership of the academy, who is used to being the first in the world, he always feels a little angry, and at the same time, he wants a good start, so he called Lin Fengjin.

At this time, Lin Fengjin had been comprehensively investigated by the senior management of the academy and spoke highly of him. In the past, there were still many people who thought that Lin Fengjin copied the wind and rain couplet from somewhere else, but now at least eighty percent of people believe it. Lin Fengjin's wonderful famous couplet was written by himself.

So. In the academy literary meeting before Dabi, Lin Fengjin was called by Hai Gongzi without psychological preparation and asked him to attend the meeting. However, in view of the fact that Lin Fengjin has not had any great works for so long, the academy that participated in the Wenhui did not pin great hopes on his heart. Instead, a seeded player has been arranged for a long time.

Therefore, after Lin Fengjin learned that he was called by the Wenhui, he didn't really take it seriously, he estimated that he was similar to things like "spare tires" and "jacks". Sit there and take a look at the situation, rely on the aftermath of the "wind and rain" to get a little bit of prestige, and get to know people. However, after Lin Fengjin went, he realized that his thoughts were inevitably naïve

According to the usual practice, whether it is the Wenhui or the academy competition, it will not be held in the Donglin Academy, because the statue of Mencius in the Donglin Academy exudes its own majesty all the time, and the scholars of this academy will naturally be pure and righteous under its influence, and quickly enter the best state, while the scholars of the other colleges will be upset and irritable and weakened a lot.

Therefore, in order to avoid others from talking, the places where the successive Wenhui and Dabi have been appointed are all in the square outside the entrance of Donglin Academy, which is extremely spacious, and the ground has been rebuilt, all of which are inlaid with black terrazzo marble, which is very luxurious, and the surrounding is surrounded by strict forests, the fragrance of flowers, and the statue of Confucius on the square is even more majestic, which makes people admire.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing at this time is the two sides of the archway of Donglin Academy, the previous pair of famous couplets: "Ten thousand volumes of ancient and modern eternal days, a window of dawn to send the passing years." I don't know when the road has been removed, and the new pair of famous couplets that have been written on it is calligraphy like an iron hook and silver stroke, which is extremely strong:

"The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound is in the ears. ”

"Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. ”

Anyone who hears this couplet will be amazed at the faint arrogant realm expressed in this couplet, which is indeed very similar to the style of the people of Donglin Academy. At this time, I saw that it was written out and hung on the door of Donglin Academy, and I suddenly seemed to feel that this couplet was really the finishing touch, and the external image of Donglin Academy was tall and plump from the moment I got this couplet.

Lin Fengjin followed a senior brother at this time, and shrank back very cautiously, looking at his nose with a straight face, but he still couldn't help but peek at his "masterpiece", and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

At this time, the people from the major academies have come to the square, and the Wenhui is an elegant and sacred thing, such as the Tianchang Academy, which is a dick, at most what can be done is bathing, burning incense, and fasting, but for the Donglin Academy, which rules the world, it is impossible to be so sloppy, in addition to the people who entered the venue, the rest of the teachers and students also asked to watch and cheer near the square.

The first to appear, actually two elephants took the lead in the appearance, which is called the guide, and then there is a white elephant with gold and brilliance all over the body, and a white elephant with jewels and jewels slowly strolling appeared, this is a treasure elephant, it is the prelude to the opening of the road, followed by the sedan chair ceremony carried by 36 people, the sedan chair curtain is opened, inside is the portrait of the most holy master of Confucius, followed by the sedan chair ceremony of 24 people, which is the portrait of Mencius.

Immediately after that, the big sedan chair that slowly appeared was said to have seventeen or eighteen planes, and the fish came out one after another. These large sedan chairs are carried by twelve people, not that the sedan chair is particularly heavy, but to show respect - you can understand it as similar to the current displacement of more than 6.0 welcome cars - the portraits placed inside are the portraits of the ancestors of several academies attending the meeting, in order to show respect for each other, whether it is the Mohist, the Yin and Yang family, the Taoists, the Legalists, etc., as long as there is a head and face of the academy of the patriarch or a famous person, almost there are portraits.

"Pap, papa, papa......", with the four serious-faced concierges at the forefront of the honor guard throwing out the silent whip, the low and solemn Dharma horn sounded, the honor guard of the saints set off with it, the paddock stopped for a week, and then there were one hundred and twenty-eight Jingtian boys successively performed martial arts dance and Wende dance performance, Qiluo umbrella cover was displayed on all sides, and the dance movements were either strong and powerful, or elegant and solemn.

After the last, the mountain chief or representative figure of the major academies came out of the ranks, respectfully offered a cup of sacrificial wine, bowed and greeted, and then took out the sacrificial text written by himself and recited and burned, showing respect for the ancestors.

At this time, the people of the major academies sat down in turn according to the position arranged in advance, and when they sat down, if they looked down from a high place, they could see that the major academies participating in the meeting were all self-contained, but the Donglin Academy was under the statue of Confucius, sitting in a long row, as if the leadership seat on the rostrum at the top, and the following academies were also distinct, as if they were sitting below listening to the report, and they were more than a step lower in momentum.

Lin Fengjin's eyesight was extraordinary, although he was sitting in the back row, but when he peeked, he found that Shanyan Academy was indeed present, and that Yu Jia Baishui was also present, but he didn't know where the senior brother Pan Jueming Pan who looked like Niu B was talking about was there. And Lin Fengjin was also a little surprised to find that several hostile eyes shot over, when did he provoke hatred like this.

As soon as this article meeting came, first of all, the previous Wen Kui, Bangyan, and Tanhua came up with the question, and began to enter the stage of fierce debate. After such a debate, Donglin Academy had a slight upper hand, which was already a rare good start.

However, at this time, when the rest of the academies found out about this, they began to join forces to launch an attack on Donglin Academy, this one said that your argument was flawed before, and the other said that your arguments were completely apocryphal, and they were all quoted from the scriptures and scriptures. However, the people of Donglin Academy are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they refused to give in when they seized the little advantage they occupied, and they did not show the slightest flaw.

At this time, the rest of the academy scholars were also a little impetuous, and one person made a gesture, which meant that it was agreed, that is, to change tactics. In the Legalist Academy of the Rule of Law, there are already people who are attached to the people in front of them: what to say to avoid their edge and attack the place where they must be saved.

In fact, this is nothing, but the problem is that this person looked at Lin Fengjin while speaking, although he was quite far away, his eyes flashed with bitter hatred. Lin Fengjin has excellent eyesight, he has a full view of all this, and secretly scolds Lao Tzu in his heart and didn't kill your father, nor did he rob your wife, what are you doing with me like this?
