Yuantong saw that Yuanzhen had lost the first game, and he couldn't hold it back, so he shouted to the audience: "The contemptible person is the envoy of the Fusang country, Yuantong, who knows Chinese characters and calligraphy slightly! Since the enlightenment, he has copied the calligraphy of the famous masters of your country, and he has been going through the wind and rain so far, and today he wants to offer his ugliness to all of you!" After speaking, he waved his pen and ink, and with a wave, he copied Wang Xizhi's "Funeral Sticker" with calligraphy, and asked Pi Rixiu to hang it on the pillar of the ring for the people of Chang'an to see.

Xu Zhi saw the three-foot rice paper written: "Xi Zhi Dun Shou: the extreme of mourning, first the tomb and then away from the poison, chasing only cool and ,......", the font is like flowing water, chic and elegant, vertical and horizontal, can't help nodding again and again, even the Hanlin in the court have sighed: "Yuantong's calligraphy is very similar to the true biography of Wang Youjun, I'm afraid that no one in this world can write such a smooth and beautiful line!"

Seeing that no one in the audience challenged Yuantong, Li Zhen shouted: "What is the difficulty of copying the calligraphy of the sage?" Below is Li Zhen, the secretary in charge of General Zhu, and the contemptible people also like Wang Youjun's famous post very much! Liu Yin, after you are also a famous calligrapher, let's go on stage together to challenge that Yuantong, how about it?" Liu Zhen shouted "Okay" and followed Li Zhen into the ring.

Yuantong saw Li Zhenchang's obscenity, and looked down on him, but saw that he copied Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", the handwriting was handsome and elegant, and the 19 "zhi" characters in the text were actually different in shape and scattered, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself. Here, Liu Ying also copied his grandfather Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Tower Tablet", the font is crisp and beautiful, the bones are strong, and the knot is tight. When Yuantong saw it, he couldn't help but blurt out praise: "Yan muscles and willow bones, it really deserves its name! Brother Liu's calligraphy, I'm afraid that only your country's Yan Taibao can be reborn, and it can be matched!", after speaking, he raised his pen and wrote Yan Zhenqing's "Tang Zhongxing Monument".

Referees Yuanren and Pi Rixiu saw that Yuantong, Li Zhen, and Liu Ying had their own calligraphy, and it was difficult to decide the outcome for a while, so they had to end in a draw. Zhou Yuanzhi said to Xu Zhi: "Although Yuantong is from Dongying, he is good at a variety of calligraphy, how can he be compared to Li and Liu, he is one against two, and he can be regarded as winning!"

At this time, it was getting late, and the people of Chang'an saw the duel between China and Japan, and our side won a game and a game, and they were happy in their hearts, and they all helped the old and the young to go home to rest. Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, and He Mengjiao helped Imperial Doctor Xie and returned to Juxian Restaurant.

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that Imperial Doctor Xie was so old that he was beaten all over his body by the righteous army, and his body was incomplete, his heart ached, and he said with tears: "Uncle Xie, you are suffering and tired, I didn't expect that my father would be so ruthless, and beat you like this, Zhi'er will accompany you for your father!" After speaking, he fell to his knees on the ground.

Imperial Doctor Xie trembled and helped Zhou Yuanzhi up, and said with a wry smile, "Princess, it's too much to kill the old slave, no matter what the Yellow King does to me, I won't resent him, it's just the heart of the doctor's parents, the people of Chang'an are always innocent, I hope the princess and the concubine see the Yellow King and persuade him well!", Xu and Zhou both nodded when they heard it.

He Mengjiao saw that Imperial Doctor Xie was unable to move, and also said: "Uncle Xie, let Mengjiao put some herbs to stop bleeding for you!", Imperial Doctor Xie was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but seeing He Mengjiao's sincerity on his face, he no longer shirked.

Xu Zhi saw that He Mengjiao had finished applying the medicine to Doctor Xie, and persuaded: "Uncle Xie, listen to Xu Zhi's words, now that Huang Wangli is faint, tyrannical and easy to kill, this Chang'an is by no means a place to stay for a long time, please leave as soon as possible!"

Zhou Yuanzhi also said: "Uncle Xie, what Brother Xu said makes sense, if you stay in Chang'an for one day, you will have one more day of danger, it is better to take advantage of the darkness of the night to leave this Chang'an overnight and go back to Caizhou!"

Imperial Doctor Xie listened, nodded silently, and before leaving, he carefully gave Li Cunxiao, Xue Atan, anger, and idiot pulses, and saw that the four of them had taken medicine, and gradually gained some consciousness, and ordered Xu Zhi and others to continue to feed the four of them medicine.

The next day, Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, and He Mengjiao came to the ring in Chang'an West City early in the morning, and saw that the audience was already crowded with people watching the battle, many of whom were literati and knights who came from all over the world, and they also wanted to see the grand gathering of masters from China and Japan.

Fujihara stood in the center of the ring, arched his hand to the audience, and said: "Below is the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty of Fusang State, who has always liked music and rhythm, and today I specially use Xun to play the call of a bird to you!" After speaking, he took out a closed-mouth pottery with 6 small holes from his sleeve.

Fuji Harahiro held the xun hole with both hands and put it to his mouth, simulating the calls of various birds: everyone in the audience carefully distinguished, and they could hear the calls of five common birds, such as magpies, larks, cuckoos, orioles, and turtledoves, from the rhythm.

After Fuji Harahiro finished playing, he asked, "Please guess the Chinese musician, how many kinds of birdsong are contained in the contemptible Xun sound just now?"

Several people in front of the stage rushed to reply: "There are five kinds, namely the calls of magpies, larks, cuckoos, orioles, and turtledoves!", Fujihara Harahiro listened to it and smiled: "No, you listen carefully", and played it again after speaking.

At this time, a court musician approached the ring and replied cautiously, "Messenger of the return, there should still be the cries of the nightingale and the wren!", because the people of the nightingale and the wren are rarely seen, so few people can distinguish them. The messenger listened, nodded slightly, then shook his head again, and sighed: "The Chinese musician really lives up to his reputation, but unfortunately there are still some shortcomings!"

Fujihara Harahiro played for the third time, and the old court musician pricked up his ears to look, hoping to hear what was missing, but he shook his head after listening. The people in the audience also let out a long sigh.

At this time, a group of bandits broke into the audience and robbed money and goods everywhere. One of the leaders caught a glimpse of Zhou Yuanzhi and He Meng's delicate beauty, and brought a few local soldiers to surround them.

Xu Zhi saw that the bandit leader had a lewd smile on his face, and he stepped forward to pull Zhou Yuanzhi's sleeve, and hurriedly pulled out the Fengming Sword, and with a loud sound, he picked off the big knife in the leader's hand and stabbed his wrist. After the strong man was hit by the sword, he let out a cry of bitterness and retreated again and again.

When the group of robbers saw Xu Zhi's fierceness, they turned around and fled. At this time, Pang Xun also commanded the Royal Forest Army to capture several bandits.

Just as Yuanren was about to announce the results of the competition, He Mengjiao saw that the voice of the phoenix sword was similar to the prelude and end notes played by Fujihara Harahiro, and immediately understood, and shouted loudly: "There is still the voice of the phoenix hidden in the messenger's voice!"

When Fuji Harahiro heard this, he immediately praised: "This girl in the audience has very good hearing, and she can distinguish the sound of the phoenix's chirping, which is really amazing!

Fuji Harahiro didn't expect that thousands of miles away, he would meet a bosom friend, his heart was happy, and he shouted to He Mengjiao: "If the girl doesn't give up, please go on stage, and let me play you a unique song from our Fusang country!"

He Mengjiao jumped into the ring first, turned around and shouted to Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi in the audience: "Brother Xu, Miss Zhou, aren't you also proficient in music and rhythm?

When the people saw that Xu, Zhou, and He were handsome and beautiful, wearing white robes, dancing in the wind, jumping into the ring like fairies in the sky, they clapped their hands and applauded, praising and praised: "This is my Chinese demeanor!", only Pang Xun secretly complained, he was afraid that the news of Xu Zhi and Zhou Yuanzhi's return to Chang'an would reach the ears of Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, and it would cause an uproar.

Fujihara Hiroshi saw that Xu, Zhou, and He were all young in front of him, and he actually heard the 8 kinds of birdsong in his ventriloquism, and he was immediately impressed by the three of them. Fujihara Hiroshi saw that the simple blowing could not stump the three young people in front of him, and his desire to win suddenly rose, and he said to Yuanren and Pi Rixiu beside him: "Please prepare a piano, a recorder, and a row of bells, and the five of us will play a song of homesickness in our Fusang country!"

Pi Rixiu asked the court musicians in the audience: "Please also ask the musicians to prepare musical instruments according to the wishes of the VIPs!"

The musicians in the audience listened to it and were very embarrassed: "We all carry this ordinary flute and qin with us, and the chimes are the royal music of the princes of the Son of Heaven, which is only available in the court, and can only be taken if the Yellow King is known!"

Pi Rixiu had no choice but to say to Pang Xun: "I also bother to ask General Pang to go back to the palace to ask the Yellow King, if Long Live agrees, you can move the bell!"

When Pang Xun and others moved the bell, it was already late in the afternoon, Fujihara Harahiro introduced that the five of us were about to play a famous song called "The Original Scenery of Hometown", which was to the effect that a young girl stood at the foot of Mount Fuji on a moonlit night, looking at the soft moonlight, and missing her relatives who were far away on the seaside.

After Fujihara Harahiro's introduction, he raised the Xun in his hand and played, Sugawara Michizane played the flute, Yuanzhen drummed, Yuantong Fuqin, and Yuanhui struck the bell, and carefully accompanied by the side. Xu Zhi saw that the sound of Xun was the main sound for a long time, like endless thoughts through time and space, sprinkled into the distance, and the bell was thick, like the sound of waves on the distant seaside, the sound of the piano was cut, and it was like the cherry blossoms dancing on Mount Fuji, and the willow branches were still clinging. There was silence in the audience, and no one in Chang'an had ever heard of such a wonderful exotic style, and they were secretly amazed.

After the five Dongying envoys finished playing, they handed the instruments to Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, and He Mengjiao, and asked them to also play a Chinese lovesick song and compete with each other. The people in the audience saw that Xu, Zhou, and He were all less than twenty years old, and although they won the game of debate, it seemed that it was not enough to compete with the Fusang people in terms of vocal skills.

Who knew that Xu Zhi, Zhou Yuanzhi, and He Mengjiao discussed it, and the three of them had no experience in ensemble music, and only played the ancient music "Wangjiangnan" in the ancient tomb of Songzhou, but Li Xiuyun, who played the main note, was not there, and the three decided that it was better to give it a go, maybe they could fight a tie with the Dongying people.

Xu Zhi first introduced the story in "Looking at Jiangnan", which is about a princess who has lived in Chang'an, Guanzhong since she was a child, she is very yearning for the peach and willow green in the south of the Yangtze River, the birds and flowers, and the free and easy life, but she can't leave the secluded palace one step, so she has to rely on her own imagination to depict the green mountains and green waters in the south of the Yangtze River with music, the soft wind and drizzle, and the scene of cooking smoke and evening flute.

Xu Zhi picked up the recorder, first tried the rhythm of the test, with the appearance of eavesdropping on the bank of the Ru River that night on the bank of the Ru River to listen to Li Xiuyun's playing, playing, he will miss his hometown and relatives in the south of the Yangtze River, into a crisp and lingering flute sound, in the sound of the flute, he seems to see the hometown of the ten miles of lotus pond, the willows by the river, the bright moon in the water, parents, Su Ying, Xiaohui and the sound and smile of the abbot of Zhide, unconsciously played the tune vividly and exquisitely, and Zhou Yuanzhi stroked the qin, He Mengjiao struck the bell, at first it was a little restrained, but in the audience's ears, the euphemism of the bell was like the shyness of the girl who missed the south of the Yangtze River, and then Zhou and He saw Xu Zhi's forgetful playing, and also let go of their hearts and accompanied him affectionately.

After Xu, Zhou, and He finished playing, there were bursts of applause from the people in the audience, and even Pi Rixiu and Yuanren nodded their heads again and again, and the two finally ruled that China and Japan were evenly matched in terms of music.

The two sides rested for a while, Yuan Hui stepped forward, and shouted: "Under Yuan Hui, I love landscape sketching, I will use the music I just played as the background, and present a picture of the beauty of Mount Fuji!", after speaking, he picked up the paintbrush and sketched the bright moon in the sky and the mountains in the distance, the pink of the Fuji mountainside, I don't know whether it is the cherry blossom snow, or the twilight under the moonlight, a Fuso girl wearing a white kimono and a bun, holding a recorder in her hand, bowed her head and played alone.

After Yuan Hui finished painting, he instructed Pi Rixiu to hang the three-foot scroll on the pillar for the people under the stage to see. The people saw that the picture was very affectionate, the characters and scenery set off each other, although there were few lines, but it was the unity of heaven and man, and the demeanor and movements of the beauty were even more lifelike.

Yuan Hui waited for a long time, and saw that there were no painters in the audience who dared to go on stage to compete, mainly because these painters worked in the court, although they worked in painting skills, but they were all works in accordance with the occasion, and there was no romantic artistic conception for a long time.

Zhou Yuanzhi said to Xu Zhi: "Brother Xu, if we can't come up with a picture scroll that can be compared, we will lose, so that our country and Fusang Kingdom will each win one game, and the last game will test martial arts, then Sugawara Daozhen's Five Elements Escape Technique, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with, so that the Dongying people are likely to win this competition between the two countries." ”

When He Mengjiao heard this, she was also worried: "Brother Xu, what Sister Zhou said makes sense, how is this good?"

Xu Zhi suddenly remembered: Li Xiuyun had given him a "Flying Flowers and Moon Drawing" at Baiyun Nunnery in Zhongnan Mountain that day, and he didn't care about the content of the painting, which would cause Zhou Yuanzhi's dissatisfaction. He took out the scroll from his bosom and said, "Li Xiuyun once gave me a painting, we might as well compare it with the envoy of Fuso!" After speaking, he handed the picture to Yuanren, who took the picture and hung it side by side with the "Picture of the Beauty of Mt. Fuji".

Zhou Yuanzhi saw that on the picture of "Flying Flowers and the Moon", a large area of crape myrtle forest was outlined with pink watercolor, which looked particularly hazy under the faint moonlight, and in the crape myrtle bushes flying in the sky, a handsome young man, holding a long sword in one hand and a shy and smiling girl in the other, the girl's black hair and white dress were full of pink stamens, the young man looked back at the girl in his arms with concern, and the girl also looked at the young man affectionately, both shy and happy.

Zhou Yuanzhi finished reading the picture and muttered: "That young man is Brother Xu, that girl is, it is Li Xiuyun, no, how can it be? I must have thought too much!"

He Mengjiao didn't know what Zhou Yuanzhi was thinking, and persuaded: "Sister Zhou, it was a last resort for Brother Xu to embrace Princess Xiuyun that night, he had to do this to save the people who robbed the grain!"

Zhou Yuanzhi sighed: "Sister He, how I hope this picture is not true, no wonder that Li Xiuyun is out of the house, and he still misses Brother Xu!"

Xu Zhi saw that Zhou Yuanzhi had a misunderstanding about himself because of the painting, and hurriedly explained: "Yuanzhi, things are really not what you imagined, I had to be in love at the time, so I forgot that there is a difference between men and women!"

Zhou Yuanzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xu, Yuanzhi is sad not because you used to be, but because Li Xiuyun is a monk, why do you want to treasure this painting by your side and give it back to you, what is the indescribable relationship between you?", she burst into tears after speaking.

Xu Zhi explained: "Yuan Zhi, you have to believe the eldest brother, the time I saw Li Xiuyun in Zhongnan Mountain, I also happened to meet, and I didn't have a private meeting with her. She was going to give me the painting at that time, and you and Miss He saw it too!"

He Mengjiao saw that Zhou Yuanzhi had a deep misunderstanding of Xu Zhi, and also persuaded: "Yes, Princess Xiuyun has become a monk and can never return to Brother Xu, what are you worried about?"

Zhou Yuanzhi listened to He Mengjiao's persuasion, and she was better, no matter how Xu Zhi persuaded him, she still didn't want to talk to him.

At this time, Pi Rixiu and Master Yuanren discussed for a long time, and decided not to make a decision, so they had to let the people in the audience comment, and a scholar in the audience walked into the ring and commented: "Although the two pictures are comparable in the brush skills on depicting scenes and characters, but China's "Flying Flowers and Moon Pictures" should be higher than the artistic conception of "Mt. Fuji Beauty" in Fuso, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the beauty in "Mt. Fuji Beauty" is a longing or self-entertainment. Besides, since it is homesickness, how can you not see the sorrow of that beauty? And "Flying Flowers by the Moon" depicts the scene of two young boys and girls dancing together in the crape myrtle flowers, the young man looks back with concern, and the girl's shy smile is overflowing, so I think that my Chinese "Flying Flowers and Moon" is much higher than the "Mt. Fuji Beauty" of the Dongying people!"

After the scholar finished speaking, the audience cheered, and even Pang Xun and Yu Linwei behind him cheered in unison for Xu Zhi to win the game. Yuanren and Pi Rixiu had no choice but to rule that Xu Zhi's "Flying Flowers and Moons" won the award.
