Chapter 275 Poetry

Huai Shi took a deep breath, held the fan in front of her face, as if covering her face, opened the curtain with one hand, walked a few steps forward, and stepped on the footstool to get out of the car.

The round fan seemed to have a strange magical power. When it was blocked in front of him, a black smoke rose up and enveloped Huai Shi's face, obscuring his face so that no one could see his true face clearly.

But he could clearly see the figure in front of him through the cracks in the fan.

The stooped and deformed servant was dressed in white. When he raised his head and looked at him, a flattering smile forced his way onto his ugly face. He held up a lantern and limped forward.

"Noble, noble sir, please follow me, follow me..."

He looked back and forth flatteringly and waved enthusiastically to Huaishi. Huaishi raised his eyes and glanced at the dark city gate behind him, as well as the Yingzhou evil ghost who was guarding in front of the city gate and was several meters high. He took a sip of smear, said nothing, held up a round fan, and stepped to follow.

A few meters in front of him was an old and hunchbacked minister, holding a strange-looking ritual vessel, but the head that popped out of his collar looked like a snake, with a face covered with tumors and scars. The completely disproportionate eyes were widened and glowing green.

The whiskers are long like some kind of fish, and on the forehead, a crooked antler has been broken, with mold and moss marks.

When he looked around, an inhuman hunger was revealed from his huge eyes.

Huai Shi deliberately slowed down and lengthened the distance between them, but behind him, there was a dark aura following step by step, making his hair stand on end with chills.

In the corridor under the city gate, the huge door was not fully opened, but was firmly guarded.

There was a faint voice of questioning from the front, and a skeleton dressed in tattered clothes came out crookedly, its bones opening and closing, making sounds.

"There have been too many outsiders who do not know etiquette recently. Yesterday, an assassin actually sneaked into the forbidden area, which aroused the emperor's anger, so he conducted an interrogation. I hope you will forgive me."

Huaishi's heart sank when she heard a noise behind her. In the team, a masked figure suddenly turned around and ran away.

Immediately, the strange old man in front of Huai Shi turned around, glanced at him with his snake eyes, his neck suddenly stretched, and he flew into the air in an instant. His big mouth suddenly closed, and he slowly retracted with a chilling chewing sound.

Then, looking at Huai Shi behind him, a trace of suspicion flashed in the violent snake's eyes.

"Why is this gentleman covering his face with a fan?"

There was nothing unusual about Huai Shi. He just answered in a loud voice as the crow taught him before: "Due to the wind and cold, my face is not elegant, for fear of losing my manners."

"..."

The snake-faced doctor stared at him for a long time, then slowly looked away.

Huaishi finally took a breath secretly, sweating profusely.

The ministers lined up moved forward slowly, and soon Huai Shi saw the notice posted on the door, as well as the voice of the skeleton in front: "The Poetry Club is an elegant gathering, so naturally there will be no such rude behavior as a body search. As long as you all compose a song based on this question, your true identity will be verified."

Huai Shi raised her face, squinted her eyes, and saw the notice posted on the door through the crack in the fan.

There are only two large characters in thick ink.

——Niansi.

His heart sank again, and he felt cold.

It's not that he was completely unprepared. Since he was going to attend a poetry meeting, of course he was prepared in advance - it was said to be a poetry meeting, but the poetry meeting in Yingzhou did not write Chinese poetry, but mostly Yingge. There was a lot of information for reference, and with Crow helping him cheat, he had already prepared poems on various topics in advance for performance at the poetry meeting.

I didn’t expect that you have to recite poems first to get started!

In order to prevent the Book of Destiny in his soul from being spied on by some being, he didn't even dare to open the book now. He could only quietly flip through the cheat sheet in his sleeve while the snake-faced doctor in front of him was answering.

But he didn't expect that the old ghost in front of him looked so unartistic, but he sang very quickly. He just looked at the title of "Niansi" and flicked his fingers, then raised his head and sang:

"Shrouded in the spring clouds, it's like seeing mountain cherry blossoms."

"I haven't seen this person before, but I love you, sir."

Before he finished speaking, not only the skeleton, but also the ministers in front and behind applauded enthusiastically, and the cheers were endless.

"What a poem, what a poem!"

The skeleton moved away from his position and responded with his hands: "I wish you the best in the poetry meeting."

His praise is not without reason. With the title of "missing", the snake-faced doctor can be said to be quick in thinking. There is no word "missing" in the whole story, but it sticks to the main theme, which is wonderful.

The snake-faced doctor raised his head and laughed proudly, said he didn't dare, and went straight in.

Huai Shi was left standing there awkwardly, her hand holding the fan trembling slightly.

From front to back, left, right, and in all directions, all eyes fell on Huai Shi.

In his sleeves, his fingers were trembling wildly. He finally found the relevant page, but he took a quick glance and failed to read it all.

I just hate that the old bastard in front is too fast!

At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Huai Shi froze for a long time, opening his mouth several times and closing it awkwardly several times.

Until the suspicious indifference in the skull's eyes became more and more intense, he finally shook his shoulders and chanted loudly before he spoke:

"If you say you haven't seen it yet, you've already seen it, but you've already seen it, but it's as if you haven't seen it yet!"

As soon as a line of Yingge came out, it was plain and straightforward, but it seemed to have a touching and subtle depth, which made the skeleton's expression stagnant and he listened attentively.

But he saw Huai Shi taking a step forward, raising a fan with one hand, and raising the other hand to pretend, chanting: "Be prepared to experience the pain of lovesickness for no reason... uh, the pain of lovesickness... be prepared to feel the pain of lovesickness for no reason..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, sweat was dripping from Huai Shi's face behind the fan. He was muttering this sentence over and over in his mouth, feeling increasingly panicked.

The last sentence, the last sentence he forgot!

The more nervous I became, the less I could remember it. Until I repeated the sentence "Be prepared to miss lovesickness for no reason" seven or eight times, the green light in the skull's eyes became more and more dangerous.

But he saw Huai Shi taking a step forward again and reciting solemnly.

“If you say you haven’t seen it, you have seen it, but you have seen it, but you still haven’t seen it.”

"Being prepared to miss lovesickness for no reason..."

At the critical moment of life and death, Huai Shi suddenly had an idea and added the end of the poem:

"——Oh, it's over!"

In silence.

Skeleton: "..."

Ministers: "..."

Crow in the shadow: "..."

The evil ghosts looked at each other, dumbfounded, dumbfounded, chickens and ducks talking... In short, the mood suddenly became complicated, just like when the idiom Solitaire suddenly someone jumped out and threw out "One Top Two", although the follow-up was correct, but... Inexplicably wanting to hit him.

The Skeleton Palace Prime Minister was stunned for a long time, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground, "Well, this... although there is nothing wrong with the charm of the song, I have never seen this theme and format before... What kind of theme is this?"

"Drink, a bunch of ignorant guys. This is the most widespread theme in Chinese poetry."

Huai Shi raised his head and replied in a loud voice: "Three and a half sentences!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The crow in the shadow closed his eyes in despair.

God damn, three and a half words, little brother, you are finished...

In the long silence, Huaishi seemed to be able to feel that the skeleton's face was getting more and more ugly. His three and a half sentences seemed not as popular as expected. He suddenly felt panicked and quickly raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute. , I have another one.”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and chanted: "In front of the bed..."

"This is Taibai's poem!"

The skeleton interrupted Huai Shi's recitation with a sharp voice, "Did your Majesty come here specifically to amuse me? In this case, please don't blame me. I'm responsible for verifying your true identity!"

Following the instructions of the skeleton, the guards on both sides of the city gate, the two huge red and green evil ghosts, came forward, holding ghost gold sticks in their hands, with their fangs spread out, looking down at the weak, lonely and helpless people. Sophora japonica poems.

Next to Huai Shi, the curtain of a bullock cart was lifted, and a figure who looked like a maid asked softly:

"what's going on?"

"Ah, Lady Luo, Lady Luo." The skeleton noticed the ox cart that had arrived at an unknown time, and trembled involuntarily. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "I have neglected my duty. I will just..."

The waitress interrupted him unhappily, her blank face seemed to glance at Huai Shi, and she said coldly: "This is the guest invited by Lady Luodianji. I am sorry to offend you."

Skull's pale face seemed to break out in cold sweat: "But, but just now..."

"The distinguished guest was joking with you just now, haven't you noticed yet?" the waitress asked, "Do you think he can write the ending while he can do the first part?"

"That's right! I'm kidding you."

Although he didn't know what happened, he was saved for the time being. Huai Shi suddenly said in a shocked voice, "Can't you even see this?"

As he said that, he looked down at the cheat sheet in his sleeve and added the original last sentence.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, yes, yes, I don't understand Fengya and almost bumped into the noble..."

The skeleton found a step, hurriedly moved out of the way, opened the palace door wide, and allowed Huai Shi and the ox cart beside him to drive straight into the palace city.

Just after entering the city, while there was no one behind or behind him, Huai Shi gratefully bowed to the figure in the carriage to thank him.

It was truly a life-saving grace.

In the candlelight, the silhouette that had never met before remained unshakable.

Just waving the pipa, a dreamy whisper sounded from my ears.

"No need to worry about it, it's just a coincidence."

She paused and suddenly said: "There may be turmoil in the palace tonight, so please pay attention to your safety.

After saying that, without waiting for Huaishi to respond, the oxcart went on its way.

Huai Shi was left there, stunned, not knowing what happened.

Soon, a waiter came up respectfully, led him through the palace doors, shuttled through the darkness, and finally led him into the surprisingly wide hall.

The party seems to have started.

Many weird-looking ministers were drinking and having fun at the banquet, and there were also evil-looking ghosts that were eating human flesh and drinking heavily. It looked scary and noisy.

Huai Shi quietly found an inconspicuous place to sit down, covered her face, shrank up, and looked around.

The premonition of death is getting stronger and stronger.

It was so strong that his eyes turned black.

"I'm already in, what on earth do I want to do?"

A voice came from the crow in the shadow.

"wait."

Last night while I was writing an outline, I received unexpected bad news.

I don’t have many friends, and now one of them is suddenly missing. Even now, I still feel a kind of incomprehensible confusion.

Just like what Hermes and Bai Xi said: One day you will understand what death is. But I didn't expect this understanding to come so suddenly and so quickly.

I had a thousand words to say when I started writing, but in the end I didn’t know what to say.

Life is not easy, so please take care of yourself.

Hope everyone is doing well.
