The man was dressed in a brocade robe, his hair was tied up, and he held a fan in his hand. He stood straight up together with Wang Dazhuang in the center of the stage.

With his handsome appearance and natural and unrestrained appearance, just looking at his temperament, he was already inferior to Wang Dazhuang.

However, Wang Dazhuang did not appear unnatural at all, nor did he feel any sense of inferiority. He still looked at his with a domineering gaze, which made many people below the stage sigh in admiration.

After a long while, the man finally made his move. He cupped his hands towards the crowd and introduced himself, as a form of courtesy.

So his name was Zhou Shucai, the only son of the famous Master Zhou Guangfu of the Tong Zhou Palace.

Since she was young, she had been a reading companion to a certain True Martial Family's young master.

He was also quite insightful about the children.

In last year's Couplet Competition, although he did not manage to enter the top three, he managed to achieve a fifth place in the competition. Thus, many of the local scholars and scholars of Tong Zhou were quite familiar with him.

However, on Zhou Shucai, there was another rarely seen side, which was that not only did he have talent, he also had skills.

In just four short years, the secular world had undergone a tremendous change.

The chaotic times of the Nine Prefectures had come to an end, and the world was now divided into three parts.

Originally, XianZhou Wang Muyi ruled over Spirit State and a portion of XianZhou, and claimed the title of emperor in Fan Ling City. She established the country as "Dong Prefecture".

Establishment of the East Continent.

Wang Baili Yan of Chang Prefecture ruled over the three great prefectures of Tong Zhou, Jiang Prefecture and Yi Prefecture. He became the emperor of Song Tiancheng of Jiang Prefecture and established the country as the "Mausoleum of Books".

The establishment of the Mausoleum of Books.

Originally, King Huyan Haomiao of Ningzhou ruled the three continents of Changzhou, Yuzhou, Ningzhou, and so on. He became the emperor of Yongning city of Ningzhou and established the country as "Nanning".

The Nanning Country was established.

As a result of the beginning of the 30 th Heaven, in order to lay the foundations of the great powers, all parties are seeking to be virtuous.

Therefore, we will widely recruit capable people, perfect the imperial examinations system, and widely accept talented people.

Amongst them, the Martial Arts Examination was one of them.

In contrast to the cultivation base of Wu Lin and Fang Wu, although the secular court was full of talented people, there were rarely any experts from the Daoist sects or Zhen Wu family.

Even though the world had been in constant strife for thousands of years, no one dared to break the rules.

After all, if they were subdivided into different levels, the martial arts Lin and the secular world would be on two completely different levels.

If one entered without permission, that would be breaking the rules.

In other words, it was equivalent to breaking the restrictions imposed by the Six Realms. He would be subjected to heavenly punishment, human punishment, or divine punishment, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even though the Pixia Palace was constantly moving in the ordinary world, he did not dare to break the rules in the ordinary world.

Otherwise, if Yao Shuang wanted to dominate the Nine Prefectures, she only needed to sweep them away and she would have the authority to question her. She did not need to plan behind the scenes at all.

Ever since Zhou Shucai was young, he yearned for those Young General s who would fight on the battlefield, and wholeheartedly wanted to build a career for himself, to be highly valued by the imperial government.

However, his temperament was manic and arrogant, and he disdained those who were weaker than him. He also liked to take shortcuts and was good at using unorthodox methods.

Thus, when he went to Song Tiancheng to participate in the Martial Arts Examination, he was defeated by his opponent because he was careless.

However, the examiner was unwilling to give up after calling out for the victor. He had secretly ambushed and severely injured the examiners while they were unprepared.

As a result, the imperial government permanently disqualified him from taking the martial arts exam.

If it were not for the fact that he had a messy relationship with a certain family, the government would not have been willing to let him off the hook so easily with just his actions.

Therefore, Zhou Shucai losing his position as a general forever became the biggest humiliation in his life. It was an eternal pain in his heart.

Wang Dazhuang was different from Zhou Shucai, he had only come to Tong Zhou City last year.

At that time, the couplet competition had already come to an end.

No one would believe that this wild boar had the ability to match couplets.

After a few introductions, Zhou Shucai finally turned to look at Wang Dazhuang.

As far as he was concerned, this unassuming and boorish fellow in front of him was simply a waste that opened his eyes to money.

For the sake of money, he was willing to embarrass himself by going up on stage and pretending to be an elegant scholar. He was simply overestimating his own capabilities!

Although he was thinking of this in his heart, on the surface, he still forced a smile and said to Wang Dazhuang: "I've heard that Brother Da Zhuang was able to read all the poems since he was young. If that's the case, then I'll go first to the first half.

He wanted to decide the match in one go, making it so that Wang Dazhuang couldn't match a couplet. He just directly rolled off the stage, so as to not waste time.

Wang Dazhuang didn't understand Zhou Shucai's thoughts, and thought that the other party was finally taking him seriously. That was why he wanted to write the first half of the first half, so that he could compete with the second half.

Therefore, he said, "You're very courteous, please give me a question."

"Thanks for the win."

Zhou Shucai "whoosh"

Opening up the fan, it was just a simple movement, but the instant it released its grace, countless girls in the stage felt their hearts beating faster. Wang Dazhuang's image as a wild man could not even compare to it.

It had to be said that Zhou Shucai had an imposing appearance, if let go of his arrogant character, he would truly be a handsome Young Noble.

He looked at the teahouse not far away. He lightly waved his fan and slightly narrowed his eyes. He had already come up with a countermeasure.

"It is midsummer and most people like to drink green tea at this time of year, because it can relieve the heat and quench their thirst, as well as increase their nutrition. Shen Nong's Classic of Herbal Medicine once wrote, 'Shen Nong tastes the Hundred Herbs, encounters 72 poisons daily, gets the tea and dispels it. "Since green tea is so good, why don't I first use green tea as the theme to come up with a simple first half of the couplet?"

"Please advise me."

Wang Dazhuang said indifferently.

Zhou Shucai "Pa!"

With a wave of his hand, he closed the fan and pointed at the teahouse over there. He exited the first half of the couplet.

"Green tea with wine!"

"Seated in Sai Penglai."

Wang Dazhuang immediately gave the second half without even thinking.

Zhou Shucai was startled for a moment, and then immediately issued an upper half.

"Busy for the sake of fame, busy for the sake of profit, idle around in your busy life, drink a cup of tea!"

"Work hard, work hard, and find joy in your hardships. Bring me a jug of wine."

This time, Wang Dazhuang still matched the second half without even thinking.

In that moment, everyone was shocked by Wang Dazhuang's nimbleness and nimbleness.

When he said that he understood the profoundness of couplets, there were still many people who didn't believe him.

Now it seemed that one really couldn't judge a book by its cover.

"Good!" In name versus heart, busy versus bitter, leisure versus pleasure, drink versus wine, tea versus wine! "Yes, yes!"

Some of the people in the audience couldn't help but praise him.

This person had always been at odds with Zhou Shucai, so he thought that Zhou Shucai was just a righteous hypocrite.

However, whether it was Zhou Shucai's talent or appearance, he was always stronger than him, and felt endless hatred in his heart.

Now that he saw Wang Dazhuang losing in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Zhou Shucai also didn't think that this boorish fellow would match the second half of the couplet he had just written.

If it was said that he was too careless with the first half and it came out rather easily, Wang Dazhuang did not need to think about it to be able to answer it.

But the second half was even more difficult. If one didn't even think about it, then they would have to match it. Moreover, it was such a neat and narrow match, it wasn't something that an ordinary person could achieve.

It was truly unexpected!

Zhou Shucai scoffed in his heart, I've really underestimated you!

Next, I want you to know that couplets are not something a boorish person like you can control!

He tapped his head with his fan as if he was deep in thought. Then his gaze landed on an ancient painting hanging beside the three teachers. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of the third couplet.

Zhou Shucai smiled sinisterly as he looked at Wang Dazhuang.

Let's see how you're going to deal with it this time!

"Wang Dazhuang, I was just speaking the first two couplets casually, the third couplet is the right one!"

"Please come out."

Wang Dazhuang was still indifferent, his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, completely because of the surrounding people's praise towards him, and he was full of himself.

"Good!" "Then I'll let you win!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Shucai pointed to the ancient Painting that was hung on the wall and had the words "Dragon, Tiger, and Ape" written on it.

"On the wall, there is an ancient painting of a dragon not roaring, a tiger not hissing, a flower not fragrant, an ape not jumping, and a martial uncle laughing from the darkness!"

Wang Dazhuang frowned, Zhou Shucai was obviously ridiculing his rough and disheveled appearance, he was truly repulsive!

But then again, this first verse sounded simple, but it wasn't.

Dragons, tigers, and apes were all fierce beasts with the characteristics of life.

However, in the painting, it became a static creature, devoid of life or breath.

But there was movement in the silence.

It was easy to turn a static object into a dynamic object, but if you turned a dynamic object into a static object and secretly added sarcastic words into it, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

This Zhou Shucai is such a bitch!

Even the audience was scratching their heads, not knowing what to say.

is truly a talent, it's just that he is too arrogant and haughty. Otherwise, this old man truly wants to take him in as my disciple and carefully guide him. I believe that in the future, he will definitely be a pillar of talent. "

Teacher Zheng suddenly muttered to the two teachers beside him, unknowingly praising Zhou Shucai.

The two teachers shook their heads in agreement, but they did not agree.

Any one of them from the academy would be several streets ahead of this fellow.

After thinking for a long time, and not being able to think of what just happened, Wang Dazhuang started to get anxious.

"How about it? If you don't match up, just admit defeat!" Actually, it's not your fault. This first verse is difficult to begin with, so it's understandable that you don't match it. After all, you're just a martial artist. "

As he said that, he pointed at the young man in tattered clothing and asked, "Just like that beggar, what else could he do other than to stand out? Humans had to make a good instinctive livelihood. It is the head of the dart, be your dart and protect your dart well. A beggar would demand food with steady steps. If there was nothing to do, he would just need to train his eloquence. He might even get some meat. If you don't study others to be a mediocre person, wouldn't you be a laughing stock? "

Being ridiculed by Zhou Shucai, he was unable to think of any words to refute.

No matter how honest and honest Wang Dazhuang was, he could not help but clench his fists.

"Under the stone pavilion, half a game of chess. "With no leader, no wheels, no troops, and no cannons, he attacked the leader silently."

A disdainful and contemptuous voice could be heard.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the beggar who was teased by Zhou Shucai just now slowly walked to the front of the stage. He stared at the rude Zhou Shucai with shining eyes, as if he wanted to pierce into his eyes.
