Lu Chen finally let out a long sigh, did not continue to shirk the blame, and admitted frankly.
When he said these words, he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge boulder weighing on his heart fell to the ground, and his whole body became relaxed.
"Why are you doing this?"
Yan Shiliu said angrily: "As a leader in the literary world of Yan State, you did such a thing. From now on, the entire literary world of Yan State will be shamed by your evil deeds and cannot hold its head up!"
However, Lu Chen calmly said: "I have brought more glory to Dayan's literary world in half my life. If this matter can bring shame to Dayan, then it's okay if Dayan doesn't want it!"
"..."
Yan Shiliu was so angry that Lu Chen was speechless.
"I know you have many questions, but...I am not prepared to answer you."
Lu Chen looked around, sighed, stared at Su Wen, and said, "It's really embarrassing. Without you, I would have succeeded today."
"Is it for promotion?" Su Wen asked hurriedly when he saw that Lu Chen seemed to have a death wish in his words.
"Haha... Wen Wu No. 1, what do you want me to do?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, raised his hand and patted his Tianling Cap!
"It's not that easy to die!"
Seeing Lu Chen raise his hand, Xiong Qiong and others rushed to grab it, but a wall of literary energy suddenly erupted around Lu Chen, pushing everyone away.
With a "pop" sound, Lu Chen shattered his Heavenly Spirit Cap with his palm, bleeding from all his orifices. He staggered back a few steps, and the wall of literary energy on his body suddenly disappeared.
Ji Fu cried out: "Sure enough! He is quietly getting promoted!"
"Sorry... old guys."
Lu Chen still held on for a breath, refusing to die, and said to Xu Xuanbao and Yan Jiu'an: "...My precipitated spirituality...can, can heal the wounds of the 'Black Arrow'...I, I didn't mean to hurt you."
...just...just...sigh."
At the end of Lu Chen's words, he couldn't hold it in one breath and closed his eyes.
"Lu Chen!"
Xu Xuanbao and Yan Jiu'an suddenly felt sad and rushed to Lu Chen's side, feeling extremely hurt.
The three people are from different countries, but they are similar in age and have similar talents. They have been fighting for decades in civil and military affairs. They cherish each other and are both teachers and friends.
At this time, Lu Chen's affair was exposed and he committed suicide. Although they took the blame on themselves, the two of them still couldn't bear the sadness.
"How...how did things become like this?"
Xia Gui couldn't help but sigh.
Su Wen frowned even more.
Lu Chen committed suicide and died. There are still many mysteries about the whole incident, which will become a permanent mystery and difficult to solve.
But Su Wen could still tell that the reason why Lu Chen did this was indeed a requirement of the promotion ceremony. What he said before his death, "Wen Wu is the first", was probably the key to it.
He wanted to advance to a higher rank, but he could only win in the flag pavilion mural, or he might disturb the feast.
Therefore, he secretly attacked the two competitors early and severely injured them. However, because the two were his good friends, he was unwilling to kill them, so he only severely injured them, preparing to use his own advantages to suppress his opponents in the flag pavilion wall painting, and obtain
The final victory.
I just didn't expect that Yan Jiu'an would make a sudden decision and replace him with Su Wen.
As soon as Su Wen's "Slow Voice" and "Qi Shi" came out, Lu Chen was sure that he was no match and realized that the originally planned path would not work.
Destroying the grand event became the last option.
Jiang Meiren was one of his back-up men, but what he didn't expect was that Jiang Meiren chose such a rough method. In the end, Lu Chen had to kill Jiang Meiren on the spot in order to protect himself.
One wrong step, one wrong step after another, and ultimately there is no turning back.
"How...how should this matter end?"
Xia Gui smiled bitterly.
It was a fine feast, held dozens of times without any trouble, but while he was painting, disasters continued. First an oiran died, and then a literary master died. His reputation
, it’s definitely not much better.
Fortunately, the organizer is Wan Yunlou, and the one who really should be worried is Wan Yunlou. As long as he can be promoted to Sequence Six, it doesn't matter even if he gets scolded a few times.
Naturally, Su Wen didn't have to worry about such a thing.
Soon, Ye Qiniang was found by Xia Gui.
Seeing Lu Chen's body, Ye Qiniang almost fainted from fright.
Fortunately, her extraordinary rank was not low, so she managed to keep her composure, and finally discussed with Xu Xuanbao, Yan Shiliu and others to come up with a unified voice and a plan for public release.
Su Wen listened to the whole process. Although Ye Qiniang and others asked Su Wen for his opinion, Su Wen did not express any objection from beginning to end and listened to the discussion and arrangement of these people.
And finally we came up with this version of the story.
There is a supernatural person with a dark path who is preparing to destroy the flag pavilion wall painting event, quietly controls Jiang Meiren, and plans to attack and kill tonight's winner before the end of the feast.
Later, Lu Chen and Xu Xuanbao, with the help of Xia Gui, hunted down this evil thief in "Heart Lake".
The three finally discovered the traces of the dark supernatural being and started fighting with it.
In the end, this evil person realized that he could not escape and wanted to die together with the three poets.
In the end, Lu Chen sacrificed himself, burned all his strength, blocked the enemy's blow, and died with him.
Xu Xuanbao and Yan Jiu'an were also seriously injured in this battle, but their injuries were not harmful and they could recover as long as they rested quietly.
As soon as the news came out, the guests at the banquet were in an uproar.
But with Jiang Meiren's attack on Su Wen as a foreshadowing, what happened next is easier for people to accept.
But after such a thing happened, the banquet could only end hastily, and the guests left one after another and left the world in the painting.
Su Wen was one of the last people to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to write a short poem for Xia Gui's "Heart Lake".
It was just this poem that made Xia Gui a little confused at first.
"The sky is covered with frost over a ten-mile flat lake, and every inch of blue hair is filled with worry about the past. Looking at the moon to protect each other, I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals."
In the end, Xia Gui could only forcefully connect Lu Chen and Jiang Meiren. Both of them were from the Yan country and were paid to sing. Jiang Meiren also admired Lu Chen, who was famous in the literary world, and was even willing to become Lu Chen's concubine.
.
However, Lu Chen thought that the age difference between the two was too far, and he was afraid of delaying the beauty's youth, so he declined many times.
"They are all buried in my "Heart Lake". It is also a kind of immortality. It is indeed 'I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals'!" Xia Gui finally felt a little sad. Even if he was promoted to the "Soul Painter" of the sixth sequence, it would be difficult for him to do so.
To cover up the sadness in his heart.
But after seeing the seal left by Su Wen, Xia Gui's inner sadness turned into shock.
What Su Wen left behind was not a personal seal or private seal.
It was Zhang Wen with an alien aura. Although the aura was very light, he, who had become a soul painter, could still feel the aura.
"This is...the seal of a sub-sage, no, a saint-level powerhouse?!"
Feeling the majestic power left behind by the "Seal of Proud Sky", Xia Gui could only feel horrified in his heart.
He didn't expect that Su Wen would have such a treasure on his body!
"No wonder..."
Xia Gui thought of Su Wen's calmness in the world of the painting and suddenly realized that Su Wen was protected by such a treasure. Even if Lu Chen continuously attacked him with "black arrows", it would be impossible to break the protection of Su Wen's magic weapon.
Of course, if Su Wen knew what Xia Gui was thinking, he would definitely laugh and cry.
After leaving Guixu, he didn't even think of the seal given by Long Aotian.
Otherwise, when he met Yu Chunfeng and was on the verge of extinction several times, he would have used it to suppress Yu Chunfeng. No wonder Su Wen was forgetful. Although he knew that the seal carved by Long Aotian himself had great power, but
It's just such a small seal. After putting it away, it's hard to think about using it all the time. Especially if it belongs to Long Aotian, Su Wen doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately. If Long Aotian leaves any means to restrict it, the two sides have already completely torn it apart.
Losing face and using the power that Long Aotian left in the seal might have the opposite effect.
After leaving a poem for Xia Gui, Su Wencai suddenly remembered that he still had such a thing, so he took it out and stamped it in Xia Gui's painting to avoid leaving too much blank space.
Even if there are any hidden dangers in the power left by Long Aotian, I believe Xia Gui can deal with it.
After writing the poem, Su Wen said goodbye and left.
It's just that when I came, my hands were empty, but when I went back, my hands were full.
In order to thank Su Wen, Xia Guike presented many paintings to Su Wen and asked Su Wen to comment and "advise". Most of the paintings were characters, but these characters could be summoned to fight for the master. Although most of them were made by Xia Gui
Gui was a product of Sequence 3 and Sequence 4, but the characters in the paintings he summoned were also comparable to Xia Gui's level at that time. Xia Gui only had about thirty paintings in stock, so he gave Su Wen eight paintings at once, which was full of sincerity.
And getting the first title on the flag pavilion wall painting also comes with a bonus.
Caitou is an extraordinary item, made by a former emperor. The stone inkstone was the last product of an extraordinary inkstone maker before his death. Before his death, all his spirituality was poured into the stone inkstone, so the stone inkstone
It has also become an extraordinary object. It is a rare treasure for literati.
Su Wen already has a cuttlefish that can spit out ink on its own, and a carving knife used by a saint, which can be said to be a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. All he needs is some extraordinary paper to assemble an extraordinary pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Zhang Hu and Sun Yehou were waiting for Su Wen's return in Wanyun Tower. Mu Bian took He Kefa and several other friends and was chatting excitedly with the two.
No one expected that Su Wenming, who was just eating melon, unexpectedly became the protagonist tonight, which was really shocking.
And what happened tonight can become the main topic of conversation in the next year.
Who would have thought that a young man who was not yet twenty years old would become the winner of the flag pavilion mural painting? Who would have thought that there would be a thief so bold and so heartless to destroy such a grand event that one of the leaders in the literary world would
Lu Chen fell?
Although there was something strange about this matter, Wan Yunlou, Xu Xuanbao, Yan Jiuan and other important ministers from the Three Kingdoms endorsed this matter. In the end, no one dared to doubt that Lu Chen was the evil sect who planned to destroy the painted walls of the flag pavilion.
, preserving Lu Chen’s reputation.
Seeing Su Wen come out of the world in the painting, everyone in Mu Bian enthusiastically congratulated him. However, after experiencing Lu Chen's incident, Su Wen felt deeply tired, so he just exchanged a few words and invited them to gather at the Qingshan Guild Hall when they were free, so he took them with him
Sun Yehou and Zhang Xi left.
"You don't want to drink flower wine anymore?"
Zhang? Still a little unsatisfied. Although the mural painting in Qiting is over, because he is a good friend of Su Wen, he can enjoy a 30% discount on spending at Wanyun Building tonight.
"Drink you to death!"
Su Wen slapped Zhang? on the head, knocked him unconscious, and dragged him away.
