Chapter 2041 Water Monster
There are two famous scenic spots near Mingshan Mansion. One is Mingyue Lake. There are many painting boats in the lake. Many scholars like to go to the painting boats to drink and have fun.
In addition, there is also a Hongye Mountain. Hongye Mountain is because the mountain is covered with red maple trees. Every autumn, the mountains and fields are all red, making it extremely beautiful.
After leaving the city gate and heading east, Song Yan arrived at Mingyue Lake in less than a moment. There were many painted boats docked by the lake. For ordinary painted boats, you only need to pay two taels of silver to spend a day on them.
If you want to be clean, you can book the entire boat.
There are also some more distinctive painted boats that cannot be boarded with money. You need to write a poem. Only by writing a poem can you board the painted boats.
If you want to visit Mingyue Lake, you must board the painting boat, so that you can appreciate the beauty of Mingyue Lake.
Song Yan paid two taels of silver and boarded an ordinary painting boat.
Under the guidance of the servant, we entered the cabin.
There were more than ten short tables in the cabin. Song Yan was placed in front of one of the short tables and sat down. In addition, there were also five scholars sitting in front of the other five short tables.
Among the five people, the oldest is twenty-five or six years old, and the youngest is sixteen or seventeen years old, but he, a thirteen-year-old boy, is the youngest.
"Han Xun, in Xiayulin County, how do you call this young master?"
One of the scholars asked Song Yan with a kind face.
"I've met Brother Han, I'm here with Song Yan in Huangshan County!"
"So it's Brother Song. Are you here for reference this time too?" Han Xun continued to ask.
"I passed the boy test by luck, so I came to try my luck!" Song Yan said modestly.
Han Xun smiled playfully: "Brother Song is being humble. If I remember correctly, the head of the Huangshan County Children's Examination is named Song Yan. It should be Brother Song!"
When the other four scholars heard this, they all looked at Song Yan in surprise. They did not expect that the head of the case in Huangshan County was such a young boy.
"It's just good luck!"
Song Yan smiled without showing any pride.
At the same time, he activated his luck golden eye and scanned the five scholars. Four of them had similar luck, but Han Xun's luck point was higher, reaching seventeen points. It seemed that he was a scholar this time. The odds are high.
"There is really no one in Huangshan County."
At this moment, a strange voice sounded, and it was the oldest scholar who spoke.
This person's name is Mi Tuo. He has been taking the boy student exam since he was fourteen years old. He has been taking the exam for eleven years and only passed the exam this year. Thinking of his own experience and comparing it to Song Yan, he can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
As soon as Mi Tuo finished speaking, the expressions of the other four people changed slightly. Han Xun frowned, feeling that this Mi Tuo was too ignorant.
According to the unspoken rules of the examination room, if there are no accidents, the chief criminal in every county can basically win the title of scholar, and Song Yan can seize the chief criminal at such a young age. He must have real materials. Even if you are jealous, don't You said it, but you taunted him, which showed that you were a little narrow-minded. Therefore, Han Xun and the other four felt alienated from Mi Tuo.
When Song Yan heard this, he smiled dumbly, but he was relieved when he thought of Mi Tuo's age.
Time passed slowly.
More and more scholars came to the boat, and eventually all twelve short tables were filled, and then the boat set off.
The boys on the boat served snacks, tea and drinks on their respective tables.
At the same time, after communication, the twelve people present were also candidates for this exam. After the exam, everyone went out to swim in the lake to relax.
Soon.
A girl from the boat came out to perform musical instruments, singing and dancing for everyone.
These girls are of acceptable temperament and appearance. If you like them and plan to marry them, you will have to pay additional silver. An ordinary singing girl only needs five taels of silver, while a good-looking girl will need more than ten taels.
In Weiguo, it was as simple as a commonplace meal for scholars to go to a brothel to paint a boat. Not only would they not be despised, but they would gain a reputation as a romantic.
Mi Tuo was a lustful man, and when the group of dancers finished dancing, he threw out five taels of silver and carried one of the plump-figured women to another cabin.
Han Xun spent fifteen taels of silver to select a woman who played the guqin.
When leaving with the woman in his arms, Han Xun suddenly said to Song Yan: "Brother Song, why don't you choose someone?"
"No need, I'm still young!"
Song Yan waved his hand.
Han Xun smiled, hugged the beauty and left.
Other scholars also picked people one after another and took their favorite girls to other cabins for in-depth exchanges. For a while, the only ones left here were Song Yan and a skinny boy with a dark skin.
Although the other party's skin was a little darker, his appearance was quite delicate. However, after taking a look at the other party, Song Yan discovered that the other party was a woman disguised as a man. To put it simply, he was a Xibei.
When registering before, the other party called himself Cao Qing.
Although he saw through the other party's identity, Song Yan had no intention of exposing the other party.
"Brother Cao doesn't like him either?"
Song Yan joked with a smile.
"Some vulgar fans can't catch my eye!"
Cao Qing said proudly.
Song Yan smiled and thought to himself, it's not that I can't catch your eye, it's that you don't have the tools to commit the crime.
The two chatted casually and occasionally toasted to drink. The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and here, you could have a panoramic view of the scenery around Mingyue Lake.
Suddenly, Song Yan had a thought in his mind and used his Golden Eye of Luck to check Cao Qing's luck. He was a little surprised when he saw that the other party's luck actually reached 137 points.
With such a high level of luck, I'm afraid this person's identity is not simple.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Mi Tuo returned here again, with a bit of satisfaction on his face, but his steps were a little staggering. Seeing this, Song Yan shook his head secretly. This person's body is very weak. It seems that he is usually obsessed with wine and sex, otherwise he would be like this Only at an older age can one be admitted to Tongsheng.
"Such a beautiful scenery deserves a poem!"
Mi Tuo looked at the scenery outside the boat and said proudly.
pity.
Not only did Song Yan not agree with him, but even Cao Qing ignored him, which made Mi Tuo a little embarrassed. This guy might not be able to pretend anymore.
"Two friends, do you have any clever words in mind?"
The next moment, Mi Tuo looked at Song Yan and Cao Qingdao.
"No!"
Song Yan said lightly.
"What a coincidence, I got inspired and wrote a little poem!"
According to the rules, Song Yan should say that Brother Mi asked or encouraged him to read out his poems, but Song Yan did not say a word. Cao Qing went too far and actually raised his glass to Song Yan and said: "Brother Song, I respect you you!"
Mi Tuo was very angry after being ignored, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment.
However, he had nothing to do with Song Yan and Cao Qing, so he could only drink alone there.
Time passed slowly, and the scholars who entered came back one after another.
Han Xun, on the other hand, took a full hour to return here.
And he was still hugging the woman, who had affectionate eyes and a pink face. It was obvious that she had been moved by Han Xun in the past hour.
For a time, a group of scholars congratulated Han Xun for winning the beauty's heart.
Seeing Han Xun making such a show of being in the limelight, Mi Tuo, who had drunk a lot of wine, felt quite displeased and couldn't help but snorted in his heart.
Unknowingly, the time came to noon.
The Huafang provided lunch, and the chef on the Huafang was pretty good at cooking.
Song Yan was not polite and ate happily.
Seeing this, Mi Tuo stared at him and sneered: "As expected, he comes from a small place and looks poor!"
Song Yan smiled: "It doesn't matter if you are poor, as long as you have talent, you will change the current situation sooner or later!"
"It's up to you!"
Mito sneered.
"Brother Mi, you have gone too far. Brother Song did not provoke you!"
Han Xun couldn't stand it anymore.
"I'm confident!" Song Yan said with certainty.
"Haha, you have only been studying for a few years!"
"You have ambitions but not your age!" Song Yan said seriously.
"……you……!"
Mi Tuo was furious.
Song Yan continued: "The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade."
"What a poem! Brother Song is a great talent!"
Han Xun clapped his hands and said.
The other scholars also started to praise him.
"Excuse me, I just got it by chance!" Song Yan said modestly, but Mi Tuo on the side felt quite uncomfortable.
"Hey, look!"
Suddenly, someone pointed forward and exclaimed. Everyone looked up and saw a small boat dozens of meters away suddenly being overturned, causing screams to come from the boat.
Then, a huge creature burst out of the water and bit off half of a person's body.
Seeing this scene, a group of scholars shivered with fear and shouted for the boat to turn around quickly.
"Evil beast!"
Cao Qing let out an angry shout and suddenly turned into a green shadow that shot out and landed directly on the lake. However, as soon as she stepped lightly on the lake, her whole body took off and continued to shoot towards the accidental boat. go.
"This is the method of an innate master!"
Song Yan's eyes lit up and he asked the system to scan Cao Qing. Soon, there were two more books in the system.
One skill and one sword technique.
The skill is called "Qi Gathering Jue" and if you want to learn it, you need fifty points of luck. The sword skill is called "Dry Rain Sword". If you want to learn it, you need forty-five points of luck.
"Learn the Qi Gathering Technique!"
Song Yan directly gave the order to the system. Suddenly, he felt a huge force pouring into his body, rapidly transforming his body.
And at this moment.
Cao Qing had already arrived in front of the accidental boat. At the same time, she had a thin sword in her hand. As she swung it, fine sword energy continued to shoot towards the water monster.
The water monster seemed to be afraid of Cao Qing. As soon as he saw the sword energy, he quickly retreated into the water.
Cao Qing stepped on a boat plank and stared at the water with a solemn expression. However, the water monster did not appear for a long time, and she began to rescue people.
But just when she had just pulled up a woman, there was a crash, and a huge head emerged from the water. It opened its mouth and sprayed a huge water column towards Cao Qing.
"snort!"
Facing the water jet sprayed by the water monster, Cao Qing was not afraid at all and threw the woman out. The woman flew across the lake dozens of meters and landed safely on the boat where Song Yan and the others were.
The moment he threw the woman away, Cao Qing swung his sword and slashed hard at the water column. He actually spread the water column and struck the water monster on the head with a bang.
"Roar!"
The water monster let out a scream and sank into the water again.
