"Winding stream!" Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment. He was not unfamiliar with this term, but he was not too familiar with it either. Moreover, to Zhao Hai, the winding stream was just a word. He did not expect to hear the word " winding stream " here. It was interesting.
When Dong Chuan heard Zhao Hai's words, he nodded and said, " &Quot; that's right, the winding river. I heard that there's a winding river in the Wu family's Manor outside the city. Every time someone goes there to play, many wooden boats will be placed in the water. Wine cups will be placed on the wooden boats, and the wine cups will be filled with wine. However, there will be a question in each wine cup. After you drink the wine, you will have to answer the question on the question. If you can't answer it, you will have to give up your position. The winding river is a place for literary battles. Whoever perseveres the longest and answers the most questions will be rewarded afterwards. At the same time, they will also become famous in the literary circle of the entire tideviewing city."
Zhao Hai was stunned when he heard Dong Chuan's words. Then, he said in a deep voice, " "Are there any requirements to participate in this winding river?"
Dong Chuan said in a deep voice,"No, as long as you submit 10 gold coins, you will have a chance to register. After registering, you can wait in the manor. If there's a seat, you can sit there immediately. If there's no trust, you can just watch from the side. When someone can't answer the question, you can take his position. Besides those who register, you can also watch the audience. Each seat only costs 1 gold coin. However, they only have the right to watch."They don't have the right to participate, and this creates a situation. If you participate in the winding stream but can't answer a single question in the end, then you'll be embarrassed. If that's the case, you'll be pointed at wherever you go in the future, and you won't be able to raise your head in the circle of scholars."
Zhao Hai understood what Dong Chuan meant. This was like a public interview. If you answered well, everyone would naturally praise you. If you didn't, then sorry, not only would you lose your reputation, but your future would also be in trouble.
Zhao Hai looked at Dong Chuan and asked,"what kind of questions do they ask?" If it's all a problem with the books, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Dong Chuan said in a deep voice, " of course it won't be that simple. Their questions are very strange. For example, they will ask you what the fifth sentence on the third page of the Liu Yan edition of 'da xue Xiang Jie' is. This is also something in the books. But there are so many famous musical books in the entire literary mainland. Who can guarantee that you can memorize all of them? Besides, even if you memorized all the songs, they would ask you other questions. For example, they would ask you to perform a musical instrument. If you got the approval of 60% of the audience, you would pass. On the other hand, even if you didn't pass, musical instruments were a very important branch of scholars. Scholars who weren't souls or musical instruments would also study musical instruments, but there weren't many who were really proficient in them. Therefore, their questions were, They're all very difficult questions. If you don't have a solid foundation, you won't be able to answer a single question."
Zhao Hai nodded. He looked at Dong Chuan and said in a deep voice, " &Quot; I see. I'd like to see it for myself. But don't sign me up. I won't participate. I'll just watch. &Quot;
Dong Chuan smiled and said, " of course. We can't sign you up even if we want to. They only accept scholars. To be honest, I've only heard of the Wu family's Manor before, but I've never been there. Now that we have the opportunity, we must go and take a good look. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled and didn't say anything else. The three of them quickly walked into the classroom, sat down, and listened to the teacher's lecture. The morning's conversation passed peacefully.
After class, Dong Chuan and the others did not return to the dining hall for lunch. Instead, they led Zhao Hai out of the school. Zhao Hai had been in tideview city for so many days, but this was the first time he had taken a good look at it. The last time he came to tideview city, he had been sitting in the carriage. He had only taken a cursory look and naturally could not see anything. This time, he wanted to take a good look.
Over the past few days, he had learned from Dong Chuan and the others that tideviewing city was an important port city in the land of culture. Therefore, it was very prosperous. All kinds of shops were available, and the people lived a very rich life.
The most important thing was that the designer of tideviewing city was very thoughtful. They had designed an outlet in some places of tideviewing city. As long as you needed it, you could open the outlet and water would flow out from it to clean the streets and all the dirty things on the streets. Therefore, the streets in tideviewing city were very clean.
They did not ride a horse, nor did they ride a carriage. They just walked out of the Academy as if they were a carriage, and walked all the way to the city.
Tideviewing city was very lively. Zhao Hai looked around curiously as he walked. However, he soon realized that tideviewing city was very similar to earth. There were always many places selling books and stationery next to the college.
The group did not stop and walked out of the college. They entered a Street beside the college. As soon as they entered the street, Zhao Hai smelled a fragrance. It was the smell of food. Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, nine out of ten were restaurants, and the remaining one was a shop selling spices.
Zhao Hai and his group walked forward and soon came to the front of a restaurant. The restaurant was huge, with five floors and an area of a few thousand square meters. Zhao Hai and his group walked straight into the restaurant.
As soon as they entered the shop, a waiter came up to them. The waiter seemed to be very familiar with Dong Chuan and the others. As soon as he saw them, he immediately came up to them and bowed to them."So it's master Dong and the others. Please come upstairs. Room 308, master du is waiting for you." Dong Chuan nodded and led the group upstairs.
They soon arrived at room 308 on the third floor. Dong Chuan did not stand on ceremony and directly pushed the door open and walked in. Zhao Hai entered the room and saw six people sitting inside. They were all dressed like scholars and were not very old. From their auras, they were all from prestigious families with extraordinary identities.
One of the men saw Dong Chuan and the others come in and immediately laughed."Dong Chuan, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you."
Dong Chuan laughed heartily. &Quot; old du, we're not like you guys who just stay at home all day. We still have classes to attend. Come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhao Hai, from the soldier spirit continent. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled and cupped his fists towards the crowd. The crowd was stunned for a moment. Then, they stood up and looked at Zhao Hai with suspicion. There was no other way. Although Zhao Hai was very tall, he still looked too young.
Dong Chuan glanced at them and smiled. &Quot; &Quot; I told you yesterday that Mr. Zhao Hai and I are friends, but you didn't believe me. Today, Mr. Zhao Hai gave us face and came to hang out with us. You should believe me now, right? "
The few of them were a little embarrassed when they heard Dong Chuan's words, but the suspicion on their faces did not disappear. Suddenly, a voice was heard."Dong Chuan, you're not lying to us, right? He just randomly found a botanist and said that he came from the soldier spirit continent? Do you really think we're that easy to fool?"
As soon as the voice was heard, the entire room fell silent. Then, the atmosphere in the room seemed to have frozen. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was only then that Dong Chuan and the others realized that the voice had come from beside Dong Chuan. The man was wearing a quiet scholar's robe and looking at Dong Chuan with an arrogant expression.
When Dong Chuan saw the man, he was stunned. Then, his expression changed and he said in a deep voice,"What do you mean, maifey? Do you think I'll find someone to pretend to be a guest from the soldier soul continent?"
Mai Fei gave a cold Humph and said: " that's not impossible. After all, it's not like you, Dong Chuan, have never done something like this before. Previously, you had hired someone to impersonate a dancing Sky Master, and in the end, it was proven that that person was not even a consolidated equipment master, am I right? "
"Mai Fei, we were just joking last time. This time is different. Aren't you afraid of the Academy's punishment for being so rude to Mr Zhao Hai?" Dong Chuan's face was livid.
Zhao Hai also looked coldly at mai Fei. Mai Fei looked at Zhao Hai and laughed in disdain."If he really came from the soldier soul continent, I wouldn't be rude to him. But is he? He's just a botanist. How many botanists have you heard of becoming Wukong-level Masters? And he's so young. I heard that he entered tideviewing city on a horse carriage and suddenly appeared outside tideviewing city on the night before. Who knows if he's an imposter?"
The room fell silent once more. Dong Chuan and the others had strange looks on their faces, and even Zhao Hai smiled. Mai Fei's words were definitely not his own idea. He would not have dared to say something like that if no one was supporting him. It would be fine if it was just a social gathering, but if it was proven that it was not a misunderstanding, then the matter would be blown out of proportion.
Dong Chuan looked at mai Fei and suddenly said, &Quot; I almost forgot, brother mai isn't from the Academy of calligraphy, but from the Chess Academy. Brother mai, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. Mr. Zhao Hai is indeed from the soldier spirit continent. If your words were to spread, it would affect Mr. Zhao Hai's impression of us from the culture continent. &Quot;
Mai Fei looked at Zhao Hai with a determined look. He snorted. &Quot; if Mr. Zhao Hai is really from the soldier soul continent, then I am willing to apologize to Mr. Zhao Hai and allow you to do whatever you want with me. &Quot;
Zhao Hai looked at mai Fei and smiled."I'm an outsider. I have no interest in the fights between you locals. I came to the mainland to travel and also to communicate. Even if you fight to the death, it has nothing to do with me. But you seem to have made a mistake. If you were to be classified according to the ranks of scholars, you're probably only at rank eight right now, right? A mere level eight scholar dares to ask me, a master of the dancing sky level, to prove his identity? What right do you have? Let me do whatever I want? I want the lives of you and your family, as well as the Academy behind you, to publicly apologize to me. I also want to report this to the entire continent. Of course, you're already a dead man now, so whether you agree or not, I'll take your life for being rude to me.
