Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 139 Chapter 143
In an instant, the two strangers became hostile to each other.

"Brat, if you want to come to my Tang Palace to pick up girls, have you asked the king? Don't blame me for not giving you a chance! Poetry, pairing, and counting, you can choose from these three. If you win him, you will stay, and I will pay you back." I will give you a decent status as an instructor in the palace! If you lose, you will roll as far as you can, and cry in your father's arms!"

Seeing that the two were fighting, Zuo Ming rolled his eyes and said to Wei Shuyu.

As soon as he said this, both of them's eyes lit up.They know it's time to prove themselves!
"Since the lord has said so, then the kid is making a fool of himself! The lord made a painting with the theme of dragon slaying today, so how about we make a poem with the theme of slaying the dragon later?"

With a slight salute to Zuo Ming, Wei Shuyu said to Zuo Lengchan with a proud face.

"Hmph! I'm more familiar with the story of dragon slaying than you. Are you afraid of losing money?"

Seeing that he looked down on him, Zuo Lengchan said with a straight face.He wanted to win openly and aboveboard, after all, his sweetheart was watching from the sidelines.

"It doesn't matter who is familiar with it! That's the question! Dare you say a word!"

Wei Shuyu smiled coldly.

"Why don't you dare? But if you win, you can stay in the palace, what about me? I won't get a prize if I win! I won't do this kind of loss-making business!"

As he said that, Zuo Lengchan secretly glanced at Zuo Ming.

"Then what do you want?"

Zuo Ming asked with a smile.

"I want to marry Xiaocui!"

Zuo Lengchan said without thinking.

After hearing this, the servants, maids and passers-by all started booing together, while Xiao Cui ran away covering her face.

"There is some courage! But the girls in my mansion are always free, and I can't make the decision! If you really have the ability, you can get it yourself! Anyway, I agree!"

With a slight smile, Zuo Ming didn't make things difficult for him this time.

After he finished speaking, he asked someone to give him and Wei Shuyu a pen each, and pointed to the blank space of the first mural.

"Writing poems is the same as talking. My Zuo Fu pays attention to every single word. You should think it through before you write! Once you make a mistake, you can't change it!"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Ming ordered someone to push him aside to start painting the second mural.

If it was writing poetry on paper, the two of them might have already started at this time, but because it was on the wall, and it was still the palace wall, the two looked at each other with cold sweat, and fell into deep thought.

They have to be cautious, because once they write, the articles they write must be passed down through the ages. At least if the imperial city of Tang Dynasty does not fall, it will be difficult to disappear.

If it is done well, it will definitely be famous forever. If it is done nonsense, then even the face of the ancestors will be lost.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, but it is just a poem, and the two have been stuck for so long. On the other hand, Zuo Ming has already started drawing the second painting, and it is so smooth that everyone realizes that Zuo Ming How superb is the artistic level.

At least, it was three or four Suzaku Streets ahead of these two boys.

Zuo Ming's second painting is the scene of Yuan Tiangang and Eunuch Qian drinking wine and looking at the moon among the rough rocks, and there is a huge figure looming around it!

The biggest highlight of the whole painting is the rendering of the atmosphere, which makes the viewers feel nervous for a while.

And when Zuo Ming drew a shiny red snake's eye behind the boulder behind Eunuch Qian, everyone couldn't help holding their breath.

But then everyone looked back and found that Yuan Tiangang and Eunuch Qian's hands were on the weapons. In this way, they might have discovered the existence of the Dragon God long ago!

After understanding this, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zuo Ming had finished the second mural, but the two people were still standing there tremblingly with their pens in hand, everyone laughed lightly.

Some literati even showed a sympathetic expression.Zuo Lengchan and the others understand how they feel now, if it were them, it would be difficult to write.

After all, it is the city wall of the imperial palace, and the only one in the world who dares to scribble graffiti openly in front of the imperial guards is probably only this magical king of Tang.

When Zuo Ming started to paint the third mural, Zuo Lengchan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and walked forward with his pen.

And at this moment, Zuo Ming winked at the Imperial Forest Army next to him.

Receiving the hint from the prince, the guard of the Royal Forest Army suddenly had a look on his face, and said coldly to Zuo Lengchan, "Before you write, you should think clearly, random graffiti on Miyagi's contempt for the emperor's prestige is a death penalty! A certain knife can be used to kill the emperor!" It's sealed!"

As soon as he spoke, Zuo Lengchan suddenly shuddered and backed away.

Seeing him retreating back, Wei Shuyu immediately let out a long breath of relief.

This poem is actually no different from fighting a war. Whoever seizes the first opportunity will have a much greater chance of winning.After all, it is preconceived, and as a poet critic, it is inevitable.Of course, if there is a huge gap between the two poems, that's another matter.

When they continued to fall into a stalemate, Yuan Tiangang rushed over with his disciples and grandchildren, but they only stood at the outermost edge of the crowd and did not alarm Zuo Ming.

Looking at himself and Eunuch Qian on the wall, Yuan Tiangang's expression flickered. Although his expression was still calm, the hand holding Fuchen became stronger, while the disciples and grandchildren beside him showed excitement. and envy.

The third painting, Zuo Ming painted a chase!
The prey were naturally Yuan Tiangang and Eunuch Qian, and the hunter was undoubtedly the Dragon God!
This time, in order to reflect the majesty of the dragon god, Zuo Ming painted it very carefully.The two people running wildly in front were all gritted teeth, with resolute and fearless faces, while the big snake behind was even more ferocious, and its big mouth was less than half a foot away from them.In addition, the flying and falling rocks are telling everyone about the horror of the big snake's power!
This is a mural with its own animation. In a trance, everyone saw Yuan Tiangang and Eunuch Qian sweating profusely with the big snake.

This is a hunt, but it is also a fight!
As long as they slow down a step, these two people will definitely die!
Seeing that Zuo Ming completed the third painting, all the disciples of Xuanji Sect showed even more admiration for Yuan Tiangang.

This is no longer just the word "warrior" to describe it, it is not an exaggeration to be called a "dragon slaying hero"!

After all, this is the glory in exchange for life.

After Zuo Ming finished the third painting, Wei Shuyu's eyes finally brightened, and he picked up the pen.

However, at this moment, the Imperial Forest Army spoke again, and what he said was exactly the same as what he and Zuo Lengchan said just now.

Wei Shuyu froze immediately after being hit by him like this, but at this moment, a voice of encouragement sounded from the side.

"Just write! Father will take care of anything for you!"

Everyone followed the prestige and saw a Chinese-character face in a black gown with half-white beard and hair.If this person is not Wei Zheng, who else could it be?
"Master Wei is being polite!"

"Master Wei is being polite!"

The surrounding officials all bowed their hands and greeted, and the common people also lowered their heads slightly.

In Chang'an now, except when meeting the emperor, kneeling is not allowed, the most is to bow your head to show respect.The formation of this ceremony was also facilitated by Zuo Ming.

"Father!"

Wei Shuyu's eyes turned red immediately.At first, he thought that Wei Zheng would beat him up in anger when he found out about this, but now he was full of encouragement and relief, which was really unexpected and moved.

"Write it!"

Wei Zheng didn't say much, only these two words, but it gave Wei Shuyu endless courage.At that moment, he gritted his teeth, picked up the pen, and started to write smoothly in the blank space he chose.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Lengchan felt a little sore in his heart.He envied Wei Shuyu very much. At this time, he still had his father to help him, but he had nothing.

But even though he felt a little sad, Zuo Lengchan finally put on a firm face and walked forward with the same pen.

You can't hesitate anymore at this time, if you hesitate, you will lose!
"One knife, one sword, one pot of wine, one moon, one mountain, one fierce eye."

This is what Wei Shuyu did.

"The long moon shines on the shadow of the nightmare, and the flaming eyes are burning brightly; holding the sword and running through the clouds, and the sword and stone raining!"

This is what Zuo Lengchan did.

After writing these few sentences, the two looked at each other, and then looked at Zuo Ming together.Obviously, their poems are not yet finished, and how they write them depends on how Zuo Ming draws them.

They looked at Zuo Ming and the others nodded slightly.

So far, Zuo Lengchan's poems are obviously better, because Wei Shuyu's sentences are really bookish, not as bold and unrestrained as Zuo Lengchan, but the poem is not finished, so no one dares to make rash comments.

They just thought that the two boys were a bit clever, and they actually knew how to draw inspiration from Zuo Ming's paintings. Although it was a bit tricky, it was still a wise choice.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zuo Ming smiled softly.Unlike these two boys, he was not prepared at all. Before, he had prepared a secret case, but now he just copied it to the wall, and he didn't need too much hesitation at all.

Full of confidence and leisure, Zuo Ming finally started the painting of the fourth mural.

This time it's finally the turn of the dragon battle!It's just that this battle is really too miserable.

In the painting, the dragon god is covered by a huge net full of barbs, and there are countless bonfires around it.

However, careful people discovered at a glance that those nets had already been ignited during the Dragon God's movement!Looking at those dragon-slaying heroes, they are flying like sand and stones!
In the frenzy, there were blood and stumps everywhere, it was like a Shura training ground!
This time, Zuo Lengchan wrote the pen first!
"The sky is covered with paint, and the blood is splashed to stain the dream red; look around for those in the same robe, and the arm is broken and the spear is charged!"

As soon as Zuo Lengchan wrote this, there was a burst of applause from all around.These few sentences describe the Dragon Slaying Battlefield really wonderfully!

Especially the sentence "Look around for those in the same robes, and charge forward with broken arms", this kind of courageous and fearless momentum really makes people's blood surge for a while!

Seeing that Zuo Lengchan got a good sentence, Wei Shuyu showed a look of surprise on his face.He realized that he really underestimated this servant, the Tang Palace was really a place where crouching tigers hid dragons.

However, surprise is nothing but surprise, Wei Shuyu is not afraid, his poems may not be as grand as Zuo Lengchan, but they definitely have a different flavor!

"One person breathes with one arm, one roars and one leaves."

With full confidence, Wei Shuyu wrote these two sentences.
