Episode 39

  The whole day, Hongmao and others stayed in the inn to rest, which made Lingdang feel bored. But as soon as she thought of tomorrow's final match, her heart was filled with anxiety, and her fingers kept tapping on the table.

  The little fox listened with some impatience, saying repeatedly: "I'm telling you, Miss, can't you stop knocking? It's annoying to listen to." Tingdang glared at the little fox and turned her head away, seemingly not wanting to speak.

  Shuilingling noticed Dangdang's concern, stroked his head and said, "Dangdang, relax, as long as you've tried your best." Hongmao also encouraged him, "Yes, Dangdang, you must have confidence in yourself." Dangdang was moved by their words and nodded slightly. At this time, Hantian spoke up, "It's too boring to stay in the inn all day." Xiaoli echoed, "Yeah, why don't we find something to do?" Dangdang perked up at this and said, "Great idea! Blue Rabbit, you still haven't taught me that tune yet!"

  Blue Rabbit smiled and said, "Okay, I'll teach you in the courtyard." Xiao Li and Han Tian looked at each other in confusion and asked, "What tune? What tune?" Dingdang said, "It's the one Blue Rabbit blew with leaves last night, it was so nice to listen to!" Xiao Li scratched his head and said, "Then what are we doing?" Dingdang ignored him and pulled Blue Rabbit out of the room. Shuilingling said, "Xiao Li, aren't you good at magic? Then why don't you do some tricks to amuse the babies? I'm exhausted from coaxing them every day."

  The little fox looked at the babies, only to see them opening their pink mouths and making "ga ga" sounds. The little fox confidently said: "Alright, I'll show you two tricks, be sure to watch closely!" As he spoke, he pulled out a magic prop... In the courtyard, Blue Rabbit casually picked up two fallen leaves and handed one to Dangdang.

  Two people sat down on the stone bench, and Blue Rabbit said: "First, you have to lightly press your lips against the leaf, blow slowly, don't use too much force, then use your tongue to block part of the air outlet, this way you can blow out high and low pitches.

  As for the notes, I remember you can blow the flute, and the melody is the same as it, divided into five tones: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu. You try." Dingdang slowly blew according to what Blue Rabbit said, and indeed could blow out different pitches, excitedly saying: "Blue Rabbit, look!" Blue Rabbit smiled slightly, took a leaf from her hand and blew it gently, closing her eyes slowly, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In an instant, Blue Rabbit's body seemed to have an extra beauty, so fresh, pure white, Dingdang was once again enchanted. Inside the house, Teng Long Wu Jie heard this sound, walked out of the room, searched for the source of the sound, came to the courtyard, and saw this scene. Under the sunlight, Blue Rabbit's green clothes set off her heroic bones and gentle emotions, her soft expression on her face and her own temperament made Teng Long Wu Jie feel an unspeakable beauty, even a bit like an immortal who didn't eat human fireworks, they couldn't help but be a little distracted.

  The music ended, Blue Rabbit slowly opened his eyes, and the five dragons finally came back to their senses, coughing a little awkwardly, saying: "Blue Rabbit, your tune is really nice." Blue Rabbit smiled faintly: "You're overpraising me." Dangdang said: "Blue Rabbit, help me take a look." As he spoke, he picked up the leaf and started blowing.

  Teng Long Wu Jie knew he had nothing to do with them, so he went back to his room. The day passed like this, accompanied by the rising of the sun and the alternation of day and night, a new day arrived, today is the final match day.

  Shuilingling really wanted to go watch the game, but was afraid that Baobao would have no one to take care of him, so he had to stay in the inn. Meanwhile, Gujiujiu and Hongmao arrived at Santai Pavilion, where the stands were packed with people, clearly all full of anticipation for the final match.

  After a while, the judge walked onto the stage and loudly announced: "The time has come, I declare that the fourth round of the San Tai Temple Competition is about to begin!" The crowd's voices rose and fell, their emotions running high. The judge cleared his throat and continued: "This competition will be divided into two categories, men's and women's, and within these categories there will be two blocks, literary and martial. Contestants can choose which block they wish to participate in."

  Moreover, if a group of contestants are all women or men, it doesn't matter, they can participate in the competition just like other contestants. However, there is one thing, if all members of a team choose either Wen or Wu, the difficulty will increase greatly, on the other hand, if both Wen and Wu are chosen, the difficulty will decrease somewhat, and the category of the competition will be decided by drawing lots.

  This strange competition rule made people talk, Xiao Li was somewhat dissatisfied and complained: "What a mess, the competition has to be compared with Wen, and men and women have to be separated." Dingdang also muttered: "That's right, I don't know what the master is thinking." Hongmao said: "I think maybe the master is afraid that the strength of men and women is too different, which is not very fair for some players."

  Han Tian nodded in agreement and said: "Let's listen to the referee first." At this time, the referee said: "Today is a women's competition. Next, please have each martial arts school send out their representatives for the draw."

  After all the candidates came out, the recorder placed a sign tube in front of them one by one and let them draw randomly. After they finished drawing, they saw the words on the slips, some were Wen (literary) and some were Wu (martial). This was indeed a situation where some people were happy and others worried. Dangdang asked eagerly: "Lan Tu, what did we get?" Lan Tu handed the slip to Dangdang and said: "It's Wen." "Wen?!" Dangdang was somewhat disappointed, as it was her weakest subject.

  "Don't worry, since he's being judged by the standards of a woman, it'll just be the four arts: zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. We'll do our best," Blue Rabbit encouraged. As she spoke, however, she didn't have complete confidence in her heart either. After all, there are people outside of people, and heavens beyond heavens. Although she had been studying since childhood, she couldn't guarantee a win for sure.

  At this time, Rainbow Cat shouted from under the stage: "Blue Rabbit, Dangdang, refuel!" Little Lizi saw and also shouted, the judge announced: "Please ask the contestants to step down from the stage." As he spoke, the recorder pressed a button next to the ring, and tables emerged from the ground in the distance, with stationery, guqin, and chess on top. Blue Rabbit thought to himself, unexpectedly... there are mechanisms around the ring, it seems that they will be competing here for literature, and martial arts on the stage. The judge announced again: "Martial arts compete on the stage, literary on the empty ground over there, everyone can also go to the viewing platform over there to watch."

  Then, Lan Tu and others walked to an empty space on one side and said to Dangdang: "Dangdang, let me go this time." Dangdang nodded, after all, she was not good at these things. When all the contestants were in position, the referee said: "Now, the competition begins!"
