After hearing what the white-bearded old man said, the five people present were stunned for a moment.
Especially Feng Shaoyang, he didn't expect that there would be such a turning point later, this was simply outrageous!
Originally, his score was enough to get the 'A' grade and successfully advance to the next mountain. But suddenly, he was directly eliminated again. He is still confused by this.
.
Pfft...
At this time, a loud and unabashed laughter suddenly came out in the ring, and the laughter was very loud, full of gloating.
Feng Shaoyang was filled with anger. He looked back angrily and saw that the person laughing was none other than Guan Feng, whom he had laughed at before.
Guan Feng didn't care about Feng Shaoyang's glare. He laughed for a long time before gradually stopping his laughter. Then he clapped his hands and said with a teasing face: "Wonderful, really wonderful... I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the end. He is a Confucian sage.
The test left behind is really fair and just, and I am convinced now. By the way, who said I could win before, and who is still teaching me... Feng Wenshi, is it possible?
It's you. Hahaha..."
"you……"
Hearing the other party return his words intact, it was Feng Shaoyang's turn to be speechless this time, and the latter's face turned blue with anger.
He was just saying that he was the first Wen Gong Wenxiu to break into the Fourth Mountain in the past three hundred years, but he didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly in the blink of an eye.
It’s so cruel and painful!
"Three hundred deducted... Fortunately, I have enough golden beans!"
Su Ping'an also breathed a sigh of relief at this time and secretly sighed that he was lucky. When he first heard that he would be deducted three hundred gold beans, he thought he would be disappointed this time, but after thinking about it carefully, he had more than fourteen hundred gold beans.
Where's Jindouzi? Oh, that's okay.
Wen Liang, who was next to him, felt a black eye when he heard this.
Are you polite to say this in front of a hundred people like me?!
Long Cheng did not expect such an ending. He only felt it was a bit dramatic. He ignored the bickering between Feng Shaoyang and Guan Feng. He turned to Su Pingan and smiled and said: "Su Wenshi, congratulations to you this time."
I hope you can continue to work hard and strive to pass the fourth mountain and create an unprecedented miracle."
"With your good words, I will definitely work hard!"
Although Su Ping'an didn't have a good impression of Guan Feng, after going all the way, he found that Long Cheng was quite a good person, so he nodded, and the two encouraged each other, even if they said goodbye in advance.
But on the other hand, Feng Shaoyang was a little unwilling. After thinking for a while, he stood up and said to the old man with white beard: "There is something wrong with the rules of this test, so I feel that I should not deduct three hundred gold beans in the end. According to the results, I will not
It’s time to advance!”
Hearing these words, everyone immediately turned around.
The white-bearded old man also looked at Feng Shaoyang with a smile and said: "What's wrong with the rules?"
Feng Shaoyang said aggrievedly: "There is a problem with the first and second rules. The first rule requires us to write 'contemporary fantasy,' but the second rule requires us to be as innovative as possible. The theme of 'contemporary fantasy' is
Now that we have come to the end, how can we come up with new ideas? So if we want to break through, we must put aside the limitation of 'contemporary fantasy', but now we have finally created a new story, but you told us that we are 'off topic'
'Well, what exactly do you want us to do?"
This problem is not only doubted by Feng Shaoyang, but also by Longcheng and Wenliang who had hesitated before when faced with this choice.
But in the end, Long Cheng chose to be conservative, and Wen Liang chose to follow his heart, so neither of them can be wrong.
But in this case, which choice is the right one?!
This is where Feng Shaoyang feels frustrated.
Su Ping'an also looked at the old man with the white beard with interest. Although he had already expected it and felt that the test itself might be among these two choices, he was actually a little curious as to why.
The white-bearded old man's expression remained unchanged, and then he explained with a smile: "You are right, there is a problem with this rule, but... this was deliberately designed by the Confucian sage.
In fact, the questions in this test are very simple. Writing a story is just one of them. The real test depends on how you choose in the end when faced with such a dilemma.
If you choose 'Contemporary Fantasy', it means that you are a responsible person, abide by the rules, and relatively stable. This kind of character cannot be said to be bad, but it will make the path of cultivation more difficult in the future, because it is very difficult.
It is difficult to create new things.
As for the second choice of 'the more innovative the better', it shows that you all have an enterprising spirit and can create boldly and eclectically. This means that your future calligraphy practice has unlimited possibilities. This alone
Generally speaking, you are worthy of praise. But rules are rules. You broke the rules and chose new things. No one knows whether it is good or bad before it is verified, so it is inevitable to pay some price before seeking verification.
The Confucian sage wants to tell you through this test that you cannot stand still on the path of Confucianism and Taoism. You must be brave enough to make progress and constantly expand new topics in literature and Taoism, so that Confucianism and Taoism can become stronger and stronger; but in the process of progress,
You will definitely encounter hardships on the road, but you can't be afraid because of this. You have to stick to your heart to get to the end, even if you have to pay the price sometimes, you have to do it at all costs..."
Hearing this, the five people in the ring all seemed to have some enlightenment.
Su Ping'an was the first to understand, so he smiled lightly and said: "So it turns out that this old man, the Confucian sage, is worried about the future of Confucianism and Taoism..."
It has been more than a thousand years since the founding of Confucianism and Taoism, but after such a long time, the four themes of calligraphy and biographies, liaozhai, contemporary fantasy and historical records have not changed. It was only after Su Ping'an arrived that "fantasy" was added
It's just the same as 'Martial Arts'.
This shows that for so many years, no one has thought about creating a new type of calligraphy. This is detrimental to calligraphy and has a great impact on the prospects of Confucianism and Taoism.
The white-bearded old man added: "In fact, after so many years in Wenshan, this test has appeared many times, but there has never been one that can compare to this test, because in the past few tests, the passers-by have chosen
"Contemporary fantasy" doesn't mean that they don't want to innovate, but they really can't get out of their inherent thinking and come up with new stories, so they can only work hard in "contemporary fantasy".
Until the appearance of "Wandering Blue Star" this time, not to mention others, even me was shocked after reading it. I have never seen anyone in the history of calligraphy write such a story. It is simply unprecedented.
And the other three of you, whether it is the story you continue to write or the story you gave up before, there is a shadow of "Wandering Blue Star" in your story. This new work can be called a "tinder", and it also
Even without taking it outside, it has already begun to bring you new inspiration.
Therefore, I can be sure that when this story is brought out to the outside world, it will bring about earth-shaking changes in calligraphy, and this is the scene that the Confucian sage wants to see most.
So now, do you understand why there is such a rule?!"
