Let students write a "Preface to the Lanting Collection".
"Preface to the Lanting Collection" is the work of Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy. Scholars who practice calligraphy will copy Wang Xizhi's fonts.
As long as the handwriting is correct and doesn't look too sloppy or even ugly, it will basically pass.
But even so, there are still a few candidates who have been eliminated, which is incredible.
Even Du Ning found it unbelievable that a dignified Confucian and Taoist scholar could not even write well. He was so careless.
The fifth level tests the skill of painting and calligraphy.
Draw on a piece of white paper two feet long and five feet wide.
The work is required to be completed within one hour.
"With such a long and wide piece of white paper, I can't finish it even if it takes a day and a night!"
"To be offended, I began to wonder if this was the semi-saint who was deliberately making things difficult for us."
"What if this is good!"
Many students looked at the white paper in front of them without saying a word, feeling that no matter how they drew, they would never be able to complete such a tricky work.
Time is limited, so some people have begun to draw on the white paper impatiently. The operation is so fierce that they may really want to fill the entire white paper.
Du Ning pondered on the spot. He believed that the key to the so-called skillful painting lies in the word "qiao".
But what is "coincidence"?
Just as Du Ning was thinking about it, Wu Xiangwen next to him sneered: "Master Du, everyone has started to write, but you are still here in a daze. Are you not sure that you can finish it within the stipulated time?"
Ge Yuan added: "You don't know how to paint, right?"
"Haha..."
The people from Xianwen Club laughed out loud.
Du Ning habitually ignored them, stretched out, lay on the ground and closed his eyes.
It seems like he is sleeping.
"You're still pretending!" Wu Xiangwen snorted coldly.
Du Ning still ignored him.
All the students began to paint one after another, but Du Ning was the only one lying on the ground to rest.
Half an hour has passed.
Seeing that Du Ning was still resting, Wu Xiangwen and Ge Yuan burst out laughing.
Wu Xiangwen painted a bridge, which is half completed.
Ge Yuan painted a tree, which was half completed.
On the other hand, Du Ning still didn't start painting.
Sun Zhentian reminded: "Brother Du, don't sleep. If you don't paint, you will be eliminated."
"Yawn..."
Du Ning turned over and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's still early."
"You...hey..." Sun Zhentian had nothing to say.
Wu Xiangwen and Ge Yuan were full of ridicule, thinking that Du Ning was finished. Even if Du Ning started painting now, it would be impossible to complete this painting.
There are fifteen minutes left.
Du Ning opened his eyes, stood up and stretched, "I took a nap and felt comfortable."
"Master Du, the time is almost up, you lose."
Wu Xiangwen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and cast a contemptuous look at Du Ning.
Ge Yuan pretended to be regretful and said: "I didn't expect that the number one talent in Suzhou would stop at the fifth level. It's such a pity."
Most people showed sympathy to Du Ning, thinking that it was impossible for Du Ning to complete a painting in such a short time.
Duning will be eliminated.
"Who said I would stop here?"
Du Ning looked at Ge Yuan and said: "Brother Ge, it seems that you are not only stupid, but also have a short memory. Do you want to slap yourself in the face again?"
"Haha...what did you say? Listen to what you mean, can you still complete a painting in the remaining time?"
Ge Yuan laughed wildly when he heard this. This time, he did not look down on Du Ning, but thought it was too ridiculous. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to complete a painting in such a short time, not even a bachelor.<
/p>
"Of course." Du Ning nodded lightly.
"Impossible, you absolutely can't do it." Ge Yuan was full of disbelief.
"You will believe it." Du Ning was confident.
"The most ridiculous thing in the world!"
Wu Xiangwen showed contempt and said slowly: "Then please show us, Mr. Du, how you can complete this impossible painting in such a short time."
"Then you have to open your eyes wide."
Du Ning began to write.
I saw Du Ning simply draw a fishing rod on the left side, and then waved it up and down with the brush to form a large arc of wavy lines as the fishing line, and he drew it from the left to the right in one go.
Wu Xiangwen was about to laugh, but after seeing this scene, the smile on his face froze, and then he seemed to understand something, and it became difficult to watch for an instant.
Du Ning drew a fish at the end of the "fishing line", outlined the texture of the water surface in the middle of the painting, and titled it "Fishing with a Fishing Rod".
A painting that was impossible to complete in the eyes of everyone was completed easily by Du Ning.
"Is this okay? Is there anything wrong?"
"This painting conforms to the meaning of the word 'Qiao', and it is completed on a long and wide white paper. It is wonderful!"
"Master Du is really a strange person!"
"You can actually think of using this method to paint a painting, I admire you!"
Many people clapped their hands and were amazed.
Ge Yuan's face was ashen and he couldn't say a word.
Du Ning looked at Ge Yuan, as if he were looking at a clown.
"Are you going to continue barking?" Du Ning asked with a smile.
"Pa!"
Ge Yuan slapped himself again in public, feeling ashamed and angry.
Ge Yuan was willing to slap this slap, blaming himself for talking too much and embarrassing himself, thus humiliating himself.
No one from Xianwen Club dared to say a word.
Du Ning continued to selectively ignore them, as if what just happened had never happened.
Someone said: "You guys should not compete with Du Ning. Even if all the people in your Xianwen Club were put together, they would never be Du Ning's opponent. He is a true genius, and he is the one who truly stands out from the crowd."
Many people nodded slightly and agreed very much with this sentence.
The people of Xianwen Society were furious, and Wu Xiangwen and Ge Yuan were even more furious.
To make such a comparison between Xianwen Society and Du Ning is a great humiliation to Xianwen Society.
"Insolent!" Many people shouted.
The man hurriedly shut his mouth and followed Du Ning's example in selectively ignoring them.
The students of Xianwen Society were immediately dumbfounded.
At the end of the fifth level, some students were eliminated because they did not complete the painting.
There are still about 2,000 Juren students left.
The sixth level tests the "Five Imperial Guards".
The five arts are one of the six arts of a gentleman, which is the skill of driving carriages and chariots.
Ming and luan, chasing the water song, crossing the king's table, dancing across the road, chasing birds to the left, collectively called the five emperors.
White light flashed around Duning, and then he heard a series of sounds of war horses braying.
When the light subsided, Du Ning was already on the chariot. The chariot was equipped with a bow and arrows, and in front were three white horses.
Du Ning found that others were the same, and they all had their own chariot.
Wu Xiangwen said to Ge Yuan: "Brother Ge, this is an opportunity. We can use this level to eliminate Du Ning. We must not miss it."
Ge Yuan said: "I understand what you mean, you want to destroy Du Ning's chariot, or affect his five-imperial performance so that he fails, so that Du Ning can stop here."
"Brother Ge is wise." Wu Xiangwen nodded.
Ge Yuan said: "Du Ning's literary courage is very powerful. Even if several people swarm him, he is still no match for him. Can we do it?"
Wu Xiangwen said contemptuously: "A good man cannot stand against a large number of people. As long as all the students of our Xianwen Society attack Du Ning, no matter how powerful Du Ning is, he will never be an opponent of so many of us. Don't forget the task assigned to us by the Xian King."
, as long as this matter is handled properly, you will be able to do a great job with the wise king in the future."
"Okay, let's give it a try."
Ge Yuan made the decision to eliminate Du Ning from the game no matter what.
The students of Xianwen Club exchanged glances and already had a strategy to deal with Du Ning.
"Drive!"
Duning pulled the reins and the chariot started to move forward.
A gate appeared in front, with the words "Ming He Luan" written on it.
"和" is the bell on Shi, and "鸾" is the bell on the scale. The requirement of this standard is that when driving, the "harmony" must be achieved, and the rhythm of the bells emitted by "鸾" must be uniform.
If the ring tone is messy, it means the technology is not up to standard.
"Ding Dong...Ding Dong..."
Duning's chariot drove smoothly and made a very rhythmic sound of bells.
The second door is "Chasing the Water", where you drive along the twists and turns of the ditch. This is to test the driver's flexibility and stability in driving when the road conditions are bad, that is, the ability to control the car.
At this moment, Wu Xiangwen suddenly said loudly: "Since this is a competition of five imperial skills, and I am not very talented, I would like to ask Mr. Du for a few tips, and I also hope that Mr. Du can give me some advice."
This sentence was actually meant for Fan Qianfeng. If he maliciously attacks Du Ning's chariot, he will most likely be punished by Fan Qianfeng.
But if you explain the reasons in advance, Fan Qianfeng will not be punished even if you blame him later.
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Du!"
Ge Yuan and other students from the Xianwen Society spoke in unison, and then drove a chariot and rushed towards Du Ning.
Du Ning's eyes turned cold. So many people rushed forward. Is this asking for advice or a group fight?
I have never seen such a shameless person!
"Stop! You people from the Xianwen Society still want to target Du Ning. It's absolutely disgusting!"
"Do you want to learn about the five emperors? I'm here to accompany you!"
"Let's all come together and knock Xianwenshe off his feet!"
Many students were furious and drove their carriages towards the students of Xianwen Club.
"Presumptuous!"
"How dare you go against Xianwenshe!"
"What a courage!"
The students of Xianwen Society shouted angrily and immediately called for friends to prevent those students from supporting Du Ning.
"The King of Yan sent us to protect Mr. Du, how can we allow you to do whatever you want?"
"I am a disciple of King Chong, and I will never tolerate Xianwenshe!"
"Your Majesty King Ji sent me to say hello to your wise king!"
Many teams appeared in the chariot group, rushing towards Xianwenshe's team.
The faces of the people of Xianwen Society were ugly. They did not expect that the kings would value Du Ning so much. As long as they took action against Du Ning, the other disciples of the kings would point their fingers at Xianwen Society.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Many chariots collided, Cai Jia fought fiercely, and Wen Dan's power surged in all directions.
"Du Ning, where to go!"
"You will never pass this level!"
Wu Xiangwen and Ge Yuan rushed over in a carriage.
"You can come over here, if you can knock me over, I will give up this experience immediately." Du Ning said solemnly.
"Haha...that's what you said! The most talented man in Suzhou must be a gentleman whose words are hard to follow!" Ge Yuan laughed loudly.
"Du Ning, you are destined to lose!"
Wu Xiangwen sneered again and again, as if he had seen Du Ning's chariot being knocked over.
Du Ning looked forward, condensing his talent into water, and then transformed it into a mirror-like effect, placing it on the left and right sides of the chariot to serve as rearview mirrors.
In this way, Du Ning can observe the situation behind even without looking back.
"Drive!"
Duning concentrated on driving the chariot.
Not long after, Wu Xiangwen, Ge Yuan and the others caught up.
"Haha... Du Ning, this guy, doesn't even care about the rear!"
The sneer on Wu Xiangwen's face became even thicker. Against someone like this who doesn't even look at the rear, he will win no matter what.
"Crash it over!"
Ge Yuan gave an order and sped up, ramming into Du Ning's chariot.
"Hugh!"
Duning's chariot suddenly changed lanes, causing the opponent's attack to fail.
"Hidden!"
"How is that possible! He never looked back at all!"
"Coincidence! It must be a coincidence!"
The students of Xianwen Society were immediately anxious and comforted themselves that it was just Du Ning's luck.
There are continuous curves ahead, which makes Wu Xiangwen and Ge Yuan even more happy.
Here's your chance!
Ge Yuan made a gesture and asked everyone to attack Du Ning from the left and right when passing the curve, so that Du Ning's chariot would lose control and fall into the ditch.
Wu Xiangwen smiled even brighter. In his eyes, Du Ning would become his defeat.
The chariot entered a curve, and the chariots of Wu Xiangwen, Ge Yuan and others quickly launched a pincer attack on Du Ning's chariot.
Du Ning let out a sneer, and by observing the "rearview mirror", he could see the actions of the people behind him.
"Drive!"
Du Ning suddenly increased his speed and heard a "bang" sound. Several chariots collided behind him, and both the people and the chariots fell into the ditch.
"Okay!"
"This is called technology!"
Many people clapped their hands and applauded. They didn't expect that Du Ning's skills were so superb. It was really eye-opening!
"Idiot!" Ge Yuan cursed.
"Du Ning is impudent!"
Wu Xiangwen felt that he was losing his face.
Instead of knocking over Du Ning's chariot, his own chariot knocked over his own chariot.
The most shameful thing is that Du Ning has never looked back at them.
This is simply a mockery of their horse-managing skills!
In contempt of these elites of their Xianwen Society!
"Let Du Ning know how powerful we are! Come on!"
"I don't believe that Duning can deal with so many of us without looking back!"
"Go!"
The students of Xianwen Club were even more angry.
The chariot was speeding along the curve, and suddenly there was a sharp turn in front of it, which made many people change their expressions.
Du Ning calmly maintained this speed and controlled the horse to turn quickly.
At the same time, this inertia was used to generate a force that crashed into Ge Yuan's chariot.
The rear of the car felt like it was thrown out by someone.
Chariot drift!
"What! You can actually make the war horse turn at this time!"
Ge Yuan's face changed drastically, he couldn't hide, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "Impossible!"
"Bang!"
Ge Yuanren's horse flipped over, and the entire chariot fell into the ditch.
