The First Saint of Alchemy

Chapter 44 Literary Competition

Young and frivolous, what young person doesn’t want to show off and steal the limelight? Who doesn’t want to show his outstanding side in front of his goddess to win their favor?

Therefore, some people who know that they are not talented in cultivation put a lot of energy into studying essays, hoping to stand out in these areas.

Writing skills are also valued by major families. If you can get better results in it, it can bring more prestige to the family. All in all, in this world where martial arts prevails, many people still recite poetry and books.

The most famous talents in Yuncheng are still among the major families in Yuncheng, such as Wu Jin from the Wu family, Qin An from the Qin family, Liu Zhi and Liu Hailian from the Liu family.

After about a stick of incense, all the contestants appeared on the stage.

At this time, someone in the audience shouted "There is no Tang family". Everyone looked towards the stage. After looking for a long time, it turned out that there was not a single Tang family member.

Mr. Tang could naturally hear such a loud sound.

At this moment, Mr. Tang was also a little surprised. There were no descendants in the Tang family, and Mo Yanjun was obsessed with martial arts and had little interest in Chinese writing. In the past few years, Mr. Tang was the only one in the entire Tang family who could write and write. However, the competition stipulated that people over the age of thirty-five were not allowed to participate. He was really powerless.

Suddenly I thought of the love poem Tang Yan wrote for Lin Dongxue last time. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful. How about letting Tang Yan try it?

But seeing Tang Yan sitting there with a lack of interest, Mr. Tang had no choice but to suppress this idea.

Mr. Tang's guess was correct, Tang Yan was just not interested in Wen Sai. Now all the major families are eyeing the Tang family. As long as they can show good strength, they will not weaken the Tang family's reputation and their goals will be achieved.

As for Wen Sai, to be honest, it is the icing on the cake at best and does not have much effect on the Tang family.

"Tang Gongzi, the love poem you wrote for Dong Xue last time was so full of literary talent, why are you so timid now?" Wuxuan on the side asked, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

"Tang Yan has written love poems to others?" Zi Yun felt an inexplicable pain in her heart after hearing this. She didn't know why she felt this way, but this feeling was very unpleasant.

"Yes, I confessed my love to the city lord's daughter deeply at that time, and every word of the poem moved my heart. Silently, I went up to the west tower alone, the moon was like a hook..." As she spoke, Wuxuan recited the poem.

Zi Yun's eyes were confused after hearing this. Was such a touching word really written by this guy?

She gave Tang Yan a complicated look, and her laziness made her feel inexplicably angry. She raised her leg and kicked Tang Yan off the chair.

"Why, Mr. Tang stood up, could it be that he wanted to participate in the war on behalf of the Tang family?" Seeing Tang Yan suddenly "rush" out, Liu Zhi on the stage started teasing.

"Hahaha..." After hearing Liu Zhi's words, everyone present laughed out loud at the same time. Most people in Yuncheng knew about Young Master Tang's urinary properties. That is to say, I had some bad luck recently and somehow suddenly reached the eighth level of the Yuan level.

Different from the laughter of others, the eyes of the city lord and Qin Changdao on the selection stage lit up.

Especially for Qin Changdao, the elegant and handsome image Tang Yan wrote about "Happy Meeting" with his own eyes has been lingering in his mind.

And that poem surprised him even more. Will Tang Yan bring any surprises this time?

At the seat in the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Dongxue suddenly became energetic and her eyes immediately locked on Tang Yan.

"Why are you reacting so suddenly? You don't like her anymore, right?" Tang Yan gave him pills twice, which greatly changed Mrs. Lin's impression of Tang Yan. In addition, these days, her husband is no longer talking about Liu Zhi of the Liu family, or the outstanding children of the Wu family, Qin family, etc., but the Tang eldest son, which also makes Mrs. Lin have a great impression of Tang Yan. interest.

"Mom, what are you talking about? How could I fall in love with him?" Lin Dongxue's cheeks were like flying clouds.

Seeing her daughter's shy look, Mrs. Lin joked: "She has a good appearance. If she performs well this time, she might consider it."

"Ignore my mother, you're disgusting!" Lin Dongxue simply turned her head away, causing Mrs. Lin to chuckle.

Tang Yan was extremely depressed. What was going on in the woman's mind now? Why was he having a good chat with Wuxuan before, and then he suddenly kicked himself?

Now that he has stood up, there is no reason to go back. He met Liu Zhi's eyes coldly and said with a faint smile: "Since our Tang family has participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival, we naturally have to participate, otherwise some young people will use this as an excuse to maliciously Isn’t it beautiful to slander our Tang family?”

After that, under the gaze of everyone, Tang Yan walked onto the stage. That personable appearance actually attracted the attention of some girls.

"Is there anyone else who wants to compete?" Zhou Ying asked.

After confirming that no one was on stage again, Zhou Ying counted the number of people, and it happened to be one hundred and thirty.

"Okay, then we will divide this stage into ten groups, each group has thirteen people. The first round is poetry solitaire, starting from a five-character poem. After each round, the poetry will increase by one word, and those who cannot catch up will automatically be eliminated. , the last two people in each group will advance to the next round." Zhou Ying said the rules.

Tang Yan didn't care about this and directly found a table to sit down. When others saw Tang Yan sitting there, they all moved forward.

As the number one dude in Yuncheng, it was no secret in Yuncheng that Tang Yan was illiterate and uneducated. Sitting at the same table with him was equivalent to one less competitor.

Some of those who didn't get a seat had to sigh and look for other tables.

On the table were thirteen goblets filled with fine wine. Tang Yan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then glanced at the people on the table.

Soon, Tang Yan's eyes stopped on a person, who was Liu Hailian from the Liu family.

The grudge between the Tang and Liu families is no secret in Yuncheng, especially because of the Four Seas Gang today, the conflict between the two families has intensified.

When he saw Tang Yan's eyes, Liu Hailian smiled contemptuously: "Now cats and dogs dare to come out and stroll, it's really ridiculous."

Everyone at the table naturally understood who Liu Hailian was targeting, and their eyes fell on Tang Yan at the same time.

"Slip your mother." Tang Yan sat there and said to himself, which immediately made everyone present almost spit out.

In the past Mid-Autumn Festival meetings for many years, there has never been such vulgar words, but Tang Yan said it lightly.

Liu Hailian's hands also trembled, and he resisted the urge to slap Tang Yan. He took a few deep breaths to calm down. Although he was extraordinary in Yuncheng, he did not enter the yellow level in martial arts.

"Start!" The people at Tang Yan's table spoke in a low voice, but they were not heard by outsiders. When Zhou Ying said to start, each table immediately started the competition.

"The bright moon shines with the wind."

"Autumn's heart is more arrogant than summer's."

"Leaves fall into the clouds."

"..."

"Cold dew wets the osmanthus." Tang Yan also responded casually.

Everyone was surprised to hear that Tang Yan actually responded with a poem with a rich artistic conception. Could this uneducated guy be possessed by evil spirits?
