Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 27 Miracle Poems
"Believe in miracles, miracles...never give up..." Tang Zheng was brainstorming, trying to find a ready-made masterpiece that he could use.
Even after he traveled to the Xingyao Continent, he went over the names of all the poets he had "borrowed" from in his mind .
"Liu Bang, Mao Runzhi, Li Bai... Yes, Li Bai!" As one of Tang Zheng's favorite poets, he can recite most of Li Bai's poems by heart.
Even though he had only been in Xingyao Continent for less than a year, Tang Zheng had already used Li Bai's poems to successfully show off twice, but he was still prepared to continue plucking the wool from this sheep until it was completely bald ...
After thinking of the poem to copy, Tang Zheng's inspiration suddenly came like a flood. He dipped the pen in ink, and even the words he wrote followed the verses and flew up into the air.
"A golden cup of clear wine costs ten thousand, and a jade plate of delicacies costs ten thousand. (From: Li Bai's "Hard to Travel" Part 1)"
I put down my cup and chopsticks, unable to eat, and drew my sword, looking around, feeling confused.
I want to cross the mountains and rivers, but the river is blocked by ice. I want to climb up to the dark blue sky covered with snow.
When I have free time, I sit on the stream and fish. Suddenly, I dream of the sun on the boat.
It is difficult to travel, it is difficult to travel, there are many roads, where are you now?
There will always be a time to ride the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean."
As this popular poem about the difficulty of traveling, which has been passed down through the ages, the last sentence was written with great pleasure.
Tang Zheng suddenly heard a crisp breaking sound.
Before he could react, everyone in the examination room, including the examiners and deacons present, could not help but raise their heads and look towards the sky.
The sky-blue curtain made of Wenqu broken stones that originally blocked the entire inner courtyard suddenly began to show faint cracks, just like a little life finally being nurtured in an eggshell that is about to break out.
"What's going on? Is someone cheating?!"
"No way. In the past, if someone cheated, Tianxing Blue Curtain would directly eject that person from the inner courtyard and exclude him from the examination room! The situation this time is a bit strange. Isn't the formation too big?"
"Could it be that the cheaters were too rampant and angered Tianxing Blue Curtain?"
Both the candidates inside the venue and the people waiting outside noticed this astonishing scene and started talking about it.
"Head Deacon?" Ouyang Luoluo and Li Xiaoren had never experienced such a change, so they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Leng Buchen, who was in charge of the examination.
Leng Buchen looked at the changes in the blue star sky, and suddenly remembered an event that was recorded in the history of the Yisu Academy Autumn Selection. However, that was a very long time ago, and even he was not sure whether today's incident was the kind of strange phenomenon in the legend.
Leng Buchen gently pressed his hand downwards, signaling all examiners not to act rashly and to wait and see what happens.
The instigator of this incident, Tang Zheng, was just awakened from the super masterpiece of Li Bai that he had "borrowed" at this time. Before he had the chance to praise his own wit, he was also attracted by this sudden change.
"Fuck! Is it really because I plagiarized too much, too ostentatiously, and too proudly that I will be sanctioned by the system?!" Tang Zheng felt sympathetic as he watched the changes in the blue screen of the sky. He was afraid that a bolt of thunder would fall from the sky in the next moment and smash him into scum.
At this moment, the poem "The Road is Hard" on his test paper suddenly vibrated, and the starry blue curtain in the sky also vibrated with the same rhythm.
Then, the ink-colored characters on the test paper slowly floated up from the test paper one by one, completely peeling off the test paper.
"It's over. Is this to collect evidence to prove my crime of cheating?" Looking at this scene, Tang Zheng felt very depressed.
He was struggling over whether he should confess on the spot and turn himself in immediately when golden rays of light were cast from the sky, covering the words on his test paper, and then appeared one by one on the huge sky.
Everyone was watching this incredibly shocking scene, and many people's brushes fell directly onto the test papers without them noticing.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the poems composed of light golden words appearing on the huge sky.
"The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult..."
"There will always be a time to ride the wind and waves..."
"Set sail and cross the vast ocean..."
Everyone listened to it sentence by sentence, and recited along. Even the chief examiner Leng Buchen couldn't help but recite the last two sentences in a low voice over and over again when he read them, savoring the extremely optimistic and heroic spirit contained in them.
Tang Zheng was looking at this famous poem by Li Bai in which he had slightly modified the place names, which was then hung in the sky. Looking at this masterpiece with every word being a gem, his mind was shaken. For a moment, he even forgot that he was still suspected of cheating.
Just when everyone had finished appreciating Li Bai's famous poem and had not yet awakened from the inner artistic conception, the large light golden characters in the sky suddenly projected like stars, all flew away from the sky and directly into Tang Zheng's body.
As the starlight words sank in, Tang Zheng felt refreshed and his mind was extremely clear. He even remembered Lu You's poem that he had not remembered just now, and couldn't help but blurt out: "It turns out that don't laugh at the muddy wine of farmers, in a good year there are enough chickens and pigs to entertain guests."
Every time the star-lit characters sank into the air, Tang Zheng's body shook violently, and he looked as if he was dancing a passionate samba.
Everyone in the examination room looked at Tang Zheng's strange and funny "dance" with complicated expressions, and no one found it funny at all.
Because, anyone can guess that this must be the big star-shaped characters, which must be a great benefit.
Even if they were put in a posture that was ten thousand times more ridiculous than this, they would still be willing to let these big star-shaped words sink into their bodies.
Unfortunately, no one thinks they can write such wonderful poems that are unprecedented.
The star sand in the hourglass was still flowing silently, and time was still passing silently, but almost all the candidates suddenly felt bored. After reading such wonderful poems, they looked at the words they wrote and wanted to run away.
As the last starry word fell, the cracks in the starry blue curtain of the sky became bigger and bigger, and finally with a click, it shattered completely, as if it had never existed.
The raindrops that were blocked outside the starry blue curtain suddenly fell down and hit the faces of the candidates and examiners. The cold feeling brought everyone back to their senses.
Those candidates who had originally brought rain gear finally realized that they were the foresighted ones who prepared for a rainy day, while those candidates who had originally laughed at them as country bumpkins, were frantically protecting the test papers on the table, fearing that they would get wet by the rain - no matter how awesome other people's poems were, they were still other people's, and no matter how bad one's own poems were, they were still one's own after all. Without the test papers, there was no point in taking the second written test.
Tang Zheng, however, did not care about the panic of others at all. Instead, he fully experienced the benefits brought by the large starlight characters entering his body - his comprehension, memory, and reaction abilities all improved significantly.
To put it simply, Tang Zheng's IQ has improved significantly!
Leng Buchen reached out to catch a few drops of falling rain and murmured, "Wenqu resonance, it turns out it is really Wenqu resonance!"
After hearing Leng Buchen's words, Ouyang Luoluo and Li Xiaoren suddenly remembered that there was a legend in the history of the Yisu Academy's autumn selection that if someone could write an amazing poem in the second written test, there would be a chance that they would resonate with the Tianxing blue curtain built with Wenqu broken stones, and eventually the power of Wenqu star would be added to them, bringing them considerable benefits.
This is the legendary Wenqu resonance.
But whether it was Leng Buchen, Ouyang Luoluo, or Li Xiaoren, let alone them, even their elders' elders, no one had ever seen the true Wenqu resonance in the autumn selection of the Yisuli Academy in the past generations.
Therefore, everyone regarded this legendary "Wenqu Resonance" phenomenon, which only appeared in the first autumn selection of the academy, as a beautiful legend.
Who would have known that in my lifetime, I would actually be able to see this vision happen right before my eyes.
"But, I remember the records in the academy's case files. During the first Wenqu Resonance that year, the blue screen of the sky only cast a little starlight on the candidates. It was far from being as exaggerated as it is today..." Ouyang Luoluo carefully recalled the case files he had read and said with some doubts.
"Of course it is related to talent and poetry. Although the candidate aroused the resonance of literature and music, after many years, even the poem has not been circulated. I guess that poem is good but not exaggerated. But today's poem, you have also seen it. How long do you think it can be passed down?"
"My reputation will live forever!"
"It will be passed down through the ages!"
Li Xiaoren and Ouyang Luoluo answered at the same time. Leng Buchen nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he took out a small jade bowl from his arms, which was engraved with complex patterns. After performing a few spells, the star power flowed into the small bowl and threw it into the air. The small bowl swelled in the wind and finally covered the entire inner courtyard again.
This large translucent jade bowl holds the entire inner courtyard upside down. Although it is not as transparent and breathable as the Tianxing Blue Curtain, it at least solves the problem of rain leakage and wind leakage.
"Okay, everyone, stay calm. Today we are fortunate to witness the resonance of literature and music, and the birth of famous poems. You must work harder and don't let your grades fall too far behind. The exam will continue!" Leng Buchen's calm voice spread throughout the inner courtyard.
The candidates calmed down a little after being disturbed by Tang Zheng and continued to answer the questions.
Jiang Wuyan, who was sitting next to Tang Zheng with a complicated expression, also encouraged himself silently: "No matter how good the poem is, it can't determine the score of the entire written test. Try hard, try harder! No matter how difficult the journey is, there will always be a time to ride the wind and waves!"
Most of the candidates were not as tenacious as Jiang Wuyan. Some were even ready to give up and stop answering. Only a few were moved by Tang Zheng's poems and their belief in overcoming difficulties and creating miracles became even stronger.
"Without the Tianxing Blue Curtain, there is no way to prevent candidates from cheating. We have to keep a closer eye on them." Leng Buchen watched the examination room return to calm and whispered to the other deacons and examiners.
As he spoke, he was the first to step down from the examiner's seat and walked into the examination room.
Tang Zheng also suppressed his inner joy and threw away the worry of being exposed as a plagiarist. Instead, he thought of another question: "This star screen projects my poems into the sky like a projector. Everyone has seen them. Could someone have plagiarized me?"
When the examinees sitting nearby heard Tang Zheng's complaints, they almost fell on their desks in anger. All examiners and examinees in the examination room saw that the poem flew out from your paper, and you also benefited from the large star-shaped characters in the end. Who would be stupid enough to copy your poem? Wouldn't that be courting death?
Some people even wondered if the starlight characters had the side effect of lowering IQ...
Tang Zheng quickly came to his senses, smiled, lowered his head and began to prepare to answer the last question of the written test.
