Chapter 147: Ten poems in ten steps

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped!

Writing poems on the spot, this was Young Master Mo's specialty!

Someone immediately exclaimed: "I have heard that Young Master Mo once composed a poem in ten steps in front of the Fire Emperor. Do we have the fortune today to appreciate Young Master Mo's unique skill?"

Everyone immediately revealed expressions of anticipation and pleasant surprise.

Many people had long admired the story of Young Master Mo composing a poem in ten steps in front of the Fire Emperor. Hearing today that Young Master Mo was actually going to do it again, this was a historic moment!

Once the poem was finished, it would be enough for historians to record it in the history books!

Besides, Young Master Mo was elegant and unrestrained, and his poetry was the unique Poetry King of the Fire Kingdom. Being able to see the birth of a "ten-step poem" with their own eyes was a great honor and enjoyment for them.

Lady Ya was also slightly stunned upon hearing this. In previous banquets, everyone would take out their own poems to appreciate and read together. Now, this Young Master Mo was asking to set a topic and write poems, clearly wanting to steal back the limelight from just now!

Although Lady Ya felt in her heart that this move was somewhat unfair to Xu Que, she was also quite looking forward to seeing Young Master Mo's style of composing a poem in ten steps.

"No matter what topic Lady Ya sets, I will definitely complete a whole poem within ten steps!" Young Master Mo stood up, already prepared, his gaze deep, his face carrying an elegant smile, looking at Lady Ya.

Complete a whole poem within ten steps!

Lady Ya was immediately moved in her heart. Such literary talent and confidence were truly fascinating!

One must know that for scholars, writing poetry and lyrics was the most testing of talent and foundation. If one didn't have unparalleled talent, who would dare to make such a boast, writing a poem within ten steps?

Immediately, Lady Ya said: "Good, since Young Master Mo has this confidence, I will set a topic!"

After finishing, she looked up to observe the surroundings, and finally her gaze fell on the sky outside the house.

At this time, the sky was gradually turning gray, covered with dark clouds, and it was vaguely about to rain!

Lady Ya smiled slightly and said: "It is currently spring, and everyone look at the dark clouds outside; perhaps the first spring rain of this year will fall today. Why don't we take 'spring rain' as the topic, how about that?"

Spring rain?

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. *This is not difficult! *

However, even for a subject matter that wasn't difficult, it was very hard to write a poem within ten steps!

For almost everyone among them, every time they wrote a poem, they almost always had to rack their brains at home, pondering and deliberating for several hours before they could come up with a work that was decent. Wanting to compose a poem in ten steps was basically impossible.

And Xu Que, who was on the side, was overjoyed when he heard the topic was "spring rain."

*Hehe, spring rain? In my Three Hundred Tang Poems, I can easily take out ten poems, and every one of them is classic, every sentence is an eternal absolute! *

But almost the moment Lady Ya finished speaking, Mo Yunshang suddenly stepped out.

First step, everyone's faces suddenly changed in shock.

"This... how is it possible?"

"He doesn't even need to think?"

Lady Ya was also moved. The topic had just been set, and Young Master Mo could immediately compose a poem. Such talent, worthy of being the Poetry King!

And Mo Yunshang's eyes were filled with the radiance of self-confidence, a fascinating curve hanging from the corner of his mouth. He looked up toward the outside of the house, took a second step, and chanted: "The spring rain is as fine as dust."

Following closely, the third step was taken: "Outside the building, the willows are wet with yellow."

Before everyone's thinking could even keep up with Mo Yunshang's rhythm, he walked four more steps while reciting: "The wind takes the embroidered curtain away."

Only the last line remained. Everyone was so nervous they held their breath, their gazes fixed tightly on Mo Yunshang's feet. There were still three steps left; could he really compose the last line within three steps?

However, the smug smile on Mo Yunshang's face already explained everything. He took a deep breath, and finally, took three more steps, reciting very confidently: "Through the window gauze, it is cold and green."

A total of ten steps, a five-character poem was completed!

Clap clap clap clap...

The entire crowd was in an uproar!

Sounds of applause and cheering rang out.

"Good poem! Good poem!"

"As expected of the Poetry King, composing a poem in ten steps, and it is also an extraordinary famous poem. I admire it!"

"Spring rain is as fine as dust, outside the building the willows are wet with yellow. This corresponds to the scene of rain drifting on willow leaves outside Daming Lake!"

"Unexpectedly, Young Master Mo is so talented. The rain hasn't fallen yet, but he has already created a rain scene for us, simply lifelike!"

Countless scholars said from the bottom of their hearts, filled with admiration.

Tang Liufeng also exclaimed repeatedly: "The title of Poetry King is truly well-deserved. I have really feasted my eyes today!"

Lady Ya's body trembled, autumn ripples appeared in her eyes, and she exclaimed: "Young Master Mo's poem is truly a classic!"

"Pfft!"

However, Xu Que, who was drinking tea, suddenly sprayed the tea in his mouth out, his face full of strangeness!

*Damn, this can be called a classic? Are you kidding me! *

However, his action of spraying tea again attracted everyone's gaze.

Mo Yunshang also suddenly turned around and glared over, a cold light flashing in his eyes, sneering, "What? Could it be that Brother Li looks down on this poem of mine?"

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay, it can't be considered looking down on it!" Xu Que reached out to wipe the tea from the corner of his mouth and laughed dryly.

But as soon as these words came out, everyone's mouth twitched.

*Can't be considered looking down on it? *

*Damn, brother, your tone is too big, right? *

*The quality of this poem, looking at the entire Imperial City, definitely belongs to the top-tier works! And it was composed within a short ten steps. With such ingenuity and talent, you actually evaluated it as 'can't be considered looking down on it'? *

Mo Yunshang couldn't help it either, laughing angrily, "Since that's the case, I wonder if Brother Li has a better poem?"

"Me? Of course I do. Are you sure you want to listen?" Xu Que narrowed his eyes, laughing secretly in his heart. *I didn't want to act cool, but you forced me. Some acts of coolness are just so unexpected! Then don't blame me for acting a big one! *

Everyone just couldn't stand his expression that was asking for a beating, and felt inexplicably disgusted in their hearts.

One student snorted coldly: "Young Master Mo just composed a poem in ten steps. Even if you can really come up with a poem, it will ultimately not compare to Young Master Mo's high talent!"

"Hehe, you said composing a poem in ten steps?" Xu Que suddenly sneered, shaking his head, "In my eyes, this kind of composing a poem is completely trash!"

"You... what did you say?"

"Outrageous, this is truly outrageous, actually daring to talk big again!"

"Composing a poem in ten steps doesn't enter your eyes? Could it be that you can compose a poem in seven steps?"

Everyone felt angry. This time they were truly speaking up for Mo Yunshang.

Composing a poem in ten steps was already extremely rare, not to mention that this was a top-tier masterpiece. You actually dared to say it was trash?

"Bang!"

The teacup in Xu Que's hand suddenly landed heavily on the table. His expression froze, and he sneered coldly: "Composing a poem in seven steps? Is it very amazing? I am very sorry, I don't know how to write a poem in ten steps, but... I know how to write ten poems in ten steps!"
