Chapter 23 Listening to the Trend
"What? Knock down a building with one palm?!"
"Quick, take a look!"
"What kind of world is this? It's simply..."
Li Yun ran out of the pavilion with Li Ruoyu and looked back at the collapsed scene behind him. His face was a little livid and his body was trembling slightly. This palm almost drained all the strength from his body.
Several figures came quickly from a distance, led by a tall purple-faced man, who was Shi Yun, the president of the Xuan Gong Society.
"What's going on?" Shi Yun asked, staring at his mentor.
"President, it's... Li Yun took part in the assessment, and with one palm... one palm punched through the wall. The attic was in disrepair and couldn't withstand the impact and collapsed!" The instructor was still in shock.
"A palm?! Big seal palm?!"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong!" the instructor replied affirmatively.
Shi Yun heard the sound and came over, only to hear something he had never heard of before.
"Are there no students inside?" Shi Yun asked.
"Fortunately, everyone ran out before it completely collapsed."
"In that case, clean it up as soon as possible. Where is Li Yun?"
"It's over there." The instructor pointed to where Li Yun was standing.
Shi Yun flashed to Li Yun's side, and without saying a word, he pulled him away and flew away.
"Hey, don't leave, I haven't gotten the jade medal yet!" Li Yun shouted.
"Whatever jade token you got, it's all buried inside!" Shi Yun shouted.
"Where to go now?"
"You knocked down a building. Where do you want to go now?"
"I...hey, even if I go to the dean to argue, it's not my responsibility. This building is too poorly built. It's actually used to assess prefecture-level skills. Sooner or later, something will happen."
"You're right. I didn't say I would hold you accountable. I just asked you to tell him the good news quickly." Shi Yun laughed.
"This...you should have told me earlier!" Li Yun chuckled.
…
"What? Big Seal Palm! Knock down the tower with one palm?!" Yang Weizhong felt that his mind was a little hard to turn around today.
This Big Seal Palm can be said to be the treasure of Tingchao Academy. This set of exercises is powerful, but except for some of the seniors who learned it in the past, no one has been able to fully understand it in recent years. It has basically been shelved. .
However, no one dares to forget the prestige of this set of exercises. From time to time, some highly intelligent people try to practice it, but I have never heard of anyone succeeding in it.
Unexpectedly, it only took Li Yun two hours today to defeat the puppet and even knock down a tower with one palm. It was simply unbelievable.
"Master Li, did you...really just learn this?" Yang Weizhong asked carefully.
"Yes. However, this set of exercises is indeed difficult to practice. It took me the longest time recently. It took almost two hours to learn it." Li Yun said.
"What? Two hours?!" Yang Weizhong and Shi Yun were stunned. A big duck egg could fit in their mouths.
"Is there something wrong?" Li Yun was a little confused when he saw the two of them acting like this.
"No... nothing is wrong. Mr. Li, your points have reached more than 7,000 points, and your level is the middle grade of heaven level, but I didn't see you receive a mysterious stone from the academy. Did you use it all yourself?" Yang Weizhong asked.
"Yes. However, my black stones are almost used up now, and I don't know what to do?" Li Yun said dullly.
Shi Yun next to him shouted: "Oh, Mr. Li, what are you worried about? All your points can be exchanged for black stones from the academy. Each point can be exchanged for ten low-grade black stones. You have more than 7,000 points. You can exchange it for more than 70,000 yuan. Moreover, the college will also have additional rewards, and you will definitely not be disappointed!"
When Li Yun heard this, he was stunned and said: "So there is such a good thing, why didn't I know about it?"
Yang Weizhong said with a smile: "Master Li, I think your face looks a little worse. I think it's because you exerted too much force just now.
It's better to go back and adjust your breathing first. I will ask President Shi to deliver Xuanshi to you. How about we go to Tingchao Terrace to have a banquet in the evening and have a good celebration? "
"Thank you, dean! Thank you, president!" Li Yun resigned and returned to his courtyard.
…
Delicious delicacies, mingling with each other, and the sound of silk...
What a feast, what a paradise on earth!
This is the top floor of the tide listening platform that Yang Weizhong mentioned.
Tingchao Terrace is the tallest building in the south of Tingchao City. It rises more than 100 feet from the ground. There are stairs going up in all directions. It is magnificent. The top floor building is luxurious and elegant, with carved railings and jade inlays, flying eaves and walking walls. It is the best in the world.
Looking out from here, the Chaojiang River is surrounded by water, and there are small islands in the river that divide the river.
Leaning on the railing on the platform, you can not only overlook the boundless sea in the distance, but also overlook the bustling scene along the southern coast of Tingchao City.
The sea breeze blows gently, bringing with it the sound of waves crashing on the shore, which makes people forget to leave.
Li Yun sat next to Yang Weizhong, enjoying delicious food and listening to music with everyone, and had endless fun.
Also present at the banquet were Du Qingshu, Shi Yun, Chen Sichun, and Li Ruoyu.
Li Ruoyu was brought by Li Yun, and Chen Sichun was Li Ruoyu's close friend. After hearing about such a good thing, she naturally had to follow her no matter what. What's more, this listening platform is one of her Chen family's properties. As the host, , she felt it was her duty to do so.
As soon as Li Yun saw her, he felt a little guilty. The scene of that night appeared in his mind, but he didn't dare to look directly at her.
Chen Sichun, with a blushing face and peach blossoms in his eyes, glanced at Li Yun from time to time.
After drinking for a few rounds, Du Qingshu said: "Tingchao City has been said to have a phoenix since ancient times. Now that the Chen family's Tingchao Terrace is so grand, I'm afraid it will really attract the phoenix here too!"
"Haha! Mr. Du's words really resonate with me!"
There was a loud laugh, and a tall and powerful man with a beard walked in. It was Chen Gangba, the head of the Chen family.
When everyone saw him arriving, they immediately stood up and bowed to say hello.
"Every distinguished guest is here. I am your host. Please drink to your heart's content and never return until you are drunk!" Chen Gangba said boldly.
As the leader of the Chen family in Tingchao City, he has a certain magnanimity. And when I heard that Yang Weizhong, the dean of Chao College, was coming, how could such a heavyweight not come to meet him?
"Thank you, Brother Chen! This Tingchao Terrace is so ingenious that it is a landmark in the south of Tingchao City. I don't know how Brother Chen built it. We really admire it." Du Qingshu said.
"Brother Du, I don't know that the construction of this tide-listening platform was also a coincidence. Many years ago, I got an old drawing from Xirong. After asking a capable person to inquire, I learned that it turned out to be an architectural sample drawing of the terrace. What is depicted in the sample drawing The completion effect is really impressive, so I organized a lot of manpower and material resources and spent nearly five years before it was completed last year."
"That's it. I heard that there are many skilled craftsmen in Xirong, but I didn't expect that Brother Chen would actually benefit from them." Du Qingshu nodded.
"Luck, luck!" Chen Gangba said proudly.
Shi Yun, who was standing next to him, picked up his wine glass and said loudly: "Fortunately, I heard that Chaocheng has a man as big and bold as Brother Chen, so it is possible to turn a drawing into a real and amazing building. Come on, Brother Chen, let me Here’s to you!”
Shi Yun drank it all in one gulp.
"Okay! Brother Shi has a huge amount, I respect everyone, do it!" Chen Gangba also drank it all in one gulp.
Du Qingshu also had a drink with Chen Gangba and said, "With such beautiful scenery, such a high platform, and such good wine, how can there be no good poetry?!"
"Not bad! How about asking Mr. Du Da to inscribe a poem on my Tingchao Terrace? I will definitely engrave it here so that everyone who comes can see it!" Chen Gangba said excitedly.
"You... when it comes to writing poetry, there is a great poet on the scene. If you don't invite him, what do you ask me to do instead?" Du Qingshu said loudly.
"Ah... you see, my head gets confused when I drink! Mr. Li, today is the perfect meeting, how about writing a poem for me?" Chen Gangba turned to Li Yun and asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Li, you can compose a poem for my father, Tingchaotai!" Chen Sichun's eyes were shining, he took the opportunity to move forward, took Li Yun's hand and smiled sweetly.
Chen Gangba was stunned for a moment, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he quickly came back to his senses and laughed loudly: "Xiaochun, hurry up and prepare silk, pen and ink for Mr. Li. If you are late, you will be punished with wine!"
"You! Huh, just go!" Chen Sichun walked out angrily.
"Seniors here, how dare you compose a poem casually? Let's ask one of our seniors to do it!" Li Yun said quickly.
"Master Li, please stop being modest. With you here, who else dares to say that he can write poetry?" Yang Weizhong said immediately.
"That's right, that's right. Only the name of your poem is worthy of Brother Chen's listening to the tide. It will be a beautiful thing when the name of the poem and the name of the station complement each other!" Du Qingshu agreed.
Shi Yun and Chen Gangba didn't say a word, and immediately started to make room for others. After Chen Sichun brought the four treasures of the study, they immediately arranged it and waited for Li Yun to write poems.
Seeing this momentum, Li Yun didn't even have the chance to refuse, so he had no choice but to nod his head and quickly search for poetry in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, I found a poem that suited the occasion, so I picked up the brush, filled it with ink, and started writing.
Listen to the tide
Listen to the tide and swim on the platform. When the tide goes off the platform, the river flows silently.
The flowers and plants of the Forbidden City are buried in the secluded paths, and the clothes of past dynasties have become ancient mounds.
Beyond the blue sky and half-fallen three mountains, Bailuzhou is divided into a body of water.
The clouds can always cover the sun, and the emperor is not seen, which makes people sad.
"What a poem, what a poem! This poem is not only so neat, but also uses scenes to express emotions, running through ancient and modern times. I guess it must be to express the depression of my father who was demoted from the imperial capital. It is really a shocking work!"
Du Qingshu's eyes were fixed on the poems and he kept praising them.
"Oh my god, every one of Mr. Li's poems is a masterpiece. Every poem is so shocking! Every poem is so wonderful!" Yang Weizhong sighed.
Although Chen Gangba and Shi Yun did not study poetry that deeply, from the words of these two great scholars from Chaocheng, they could naturally tell that this was a uniquely good poem, and they couldn't help but applaud.
Chen Sichun and Li Ruoyu were naturally stunned. They fell into a state of obsession while reciting this poem without knowing it.
Li Yun sighed secretly: "If this is really my own creation, then I am really as powerful as they say!"
"Brother Chen, you'd better have this poem engraved on a stone tablet and placed on this platform for people to appreciate. I'm afraid this poem will bring the reputation of this platform in the future." Du Qingshu sighed.
"Definitely, definitely! It is an honor for us to receive such a good poem from Mr. Li! Come here, please remove this banquet and hold another banquet. I must thank Mr. Li profusely!" Chen Gangba said loudly.
