Chapter 148: This rain is life and death!

Ten poems in ten steps?

As soon as these words came out, the entire crowd was moved!

They were all angry, and even Tang Liufeng was scared out of his wits.

Composing a poem in seven steps and composing a poem in ten steps could both become a beautiful story, admired and praised by countless scholars.

But ten poems in ten steps, ten poems composed within ten steps, how good could they be? This was no longer writing poetry, but despising and humiliating poetry.

"Outrageous, Li Bai, you have gone too far!"

"You are absolutely not worthy of being a scholar. You are a disgrace and a degenerate among us!"

"Completely a heretic. Such a person should have been burned to death hundreds of years ago. It is truly hateful to the extreme!"

"Ten poems in ten steps, how dare you use such arrogant and absurd words to joke?"

"And you dare to say such things at Lady Ya's banquet. You are too arrogant!"

Everyone accused him angrily, attacking and scolding him one after another!

Mo Yunshang was overjoyed in his heart, looking at Xu Que with a playful face, shaking his head and sneering: "Brother Li, this time I have to say something about you. The jokes you made before were already too much, but now, you have truly touched the bottom line of us scholars!"

"Arrogant and conceited, ultimately just a joke!" Young Master Zhao, the leader of the Four Talents, also snorted coldly with an expressionless face!

Xu Que instantly became the public enemy of all the scholars present, everyone shouting to beat and scold him!

Lady Ya was also full of astonishment. Clearly, she hadn't expected that this "Li Bai" would actually say such things. It was indeed going too far!

She opened her mouth, about to speak.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound came.

Xu Que flicked his wrist, snapping open the folding fan in his hand. The fan surface shook gently, and a breeze rose, blowing on him. Immediately, his sleeves fluttered, unrestrained and dashing!

He stood up straight, looked up at the outdoors, and laughed wildly: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through!"

Everyone was shocked, and a piece of horror appeared on their faces instantly!

Tang Liufeng was stunned.

Lady Ya also widened her eyes, her body trembling slightly!

Young Master Zhao's expression suddenly froze.

The smile on Mo Yunshang's face also froze at this moment!

"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through."

This line of poetry countered everyone and amazed everyone!

However, Xu Que took another step, and in this hall where a pin could be heard dropping, he recited the first poem of the first step.

"Good rain knows the season, it happens in spring.

It sneaks into the night with the wind, moistening things silently."

Everyone's heartbeat suddenly stalled, their pupils contracting sharply!

*My god, this is a five-character poem, and... all four lines are absolute masterpieces. Every line is more brilliant than Young Master Mo's! *

Mo Yunshang was also stunned. These four lines of five-character quatrains completely defeated the poem he had just composed!

Almost in this instant, Xu Que took the second step without any pause, reciting:

"A thousand miles of orioles singing, green reflecting red,

Water villages and mountain towns, wine flags in the wind.

Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties,

How many pavilions are in the misty rain."

Everyone gasped. *This... this is actually a seven-character regulated verse, and... it is another eternal absolute! *

"Dong!"

Xu Que's third step fell.

"In spring sleep, one is unaware of dawn, everywhere one hears birds.

At night came the sound of wind and rain, who knows how many flowers have fallen."

*Another five-character quatrain! *

Everyone had already been scared silly, their faces all wearing one expression—dumbfounded!

"Huff huff!"

At this time, on Daming Lake outside, a few egrets flapped their wings, landed by the lake filled with peach blossoms and willow leaves, pecked at the water surface with their sharp beaks, and picked up a mandarin fish!

"Dong!"

At the same time, Xu Que took the fourth step, the corners of his mouth raised, reciting:

"Egrets fly in front of Daming Lake, peach blossoms flow with water, mandarin fish are fat.

Green bamboo hat, green coir raincoat, slanting wind and fine rain, no need to return."

"Hiss..."

Everyone gasped again!

*Damn... this is actually a lyric! *

*And it really came out as soon as he opened his mouth, and... every sentence is classic! *

Thus, for the next steps, everyone spent them in numb shock!

Xu Que took the fifth and sixth steps almost without stopping.

One after another, eternal famous poems, quatrains from the Three Hundred Tang Poems, as long as they were related to spring rain, even if they were lyrics from the Song Dynasty, were moved out by him and recited from his mouth.

"During the Qingming Festival, the rain falls heavily, pedestrians on the road want to break their souls..."

Du Mu's eternal seven-character quatrain "Qingming"!

"Listening to the spring rain in the small building all night, selling apricot blossoms in the deep alley tomorrow morning..."

This is Lu You's!

"Bright moon startles the magpies on the branches, cool breeze chirps with cicadas at midnight. In the fragrance of rice flowers, talking about a good harvest. Listening to the sound of frogs. Seven or eight stars outside the sky, two or three drops of rain before the mountains..."

This is Xin Qiji's!

Until the ten steps were finished, Xu Que had finished reciting ten classic eternal famous poems.

Everyone was full of dullness, the horror in their hearts was indescribable, and their minds were still immersed in those poems that were endless in aftertaste.

The entire hall was silent, a pin could be heard dropping!

"Pitter-patter..."

At this time, accompanied by a cool breeze, a fine drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Spring rain... finally arrived. This was the first spring rain after the Fire Kingdom entered spring!

Some people had slowly recovered from Xu Que's ten poems, but their gazes were still dull, looking toward the outdoors.

Xu Que, at this time, walked to the door alone, stretching his palm out gently!

"Plop!"

A few raindrops fell from the sky, landing on his hand, wetting his palm!

In the astonished and confused gazes of everyone, he looked into the distance, his face filled with emotion, and said indifferently: "This rain is born in heaven and dies on the earth. The process in between is life. The rain we are looking at today, don't look at the sky, don't look at the earth, and don't look at the rain, but the life of this rain! This... is life and death!"

At the same time the words fell, Xu Que's wrist lifted gently, and his five fingers gathered in the air!

"Boom!"

In an instant, the raindrops between heaven and earth outside stopped in mid-air, as if time had frozen!

Xu Que stepped out of the door, like a traveler walking in a frozen world, leaving everyone with a deep and shocking back view, moving far away.

In the entire hall, there was no sound, it was silent!

Everyone's minds were shaken, shocked by Xu Que's "the life of rain is life and death"!

And Xu Que, who had moved far away from the hall, heard the system notification sounds ringing continuously in his mind.
