At this time, the Azure Bird flapped its wings a few times and let out a long cry from its mouth, indicating that Rainbow Cat and the others should get on. Everyone saw the situation and gathered around the Azure Bird one after another, sitting on its back. "Hoo—" Another long cry sounded, and the Azure Bird spread its wings, shaking its body as it took to the air with everyone on board. "Wow, I didn't expect it to be so spacious up here!" Little Linsen couldn't help but exclaim when she saw this scene. Before long, the Azure Bird flew onto the stone steps where Dangdang was and stopped right in front of them, giving them a fright.

  "Quick!" Dangdang hastily shouted, with energy already gathered in her hands. The three of them were poised to strike. But when they saw the crowd on the back of the green bird, they hesitated for a moment. Lan Shui saw Lan Yu and immediately ran over: "Lan Yu!" Lan Yu jumped down from the bird's back and waved at Lan Shui. "Lan Yu, are you okay?" Lan Shui asked, still somewhat worried.

  Lan Yu smiled and replied, "Of course it's nothing, I just fell onto the stone steps and then slid down step by step." Lan Shui heard this and finally let out a sigh of relief. Hong Mao explained to Dang Dang and the others, "It seems we've already passed the first test, the guardian beast won't attack us again." The three people in front finally put their minds at ease. Blue Rabbit walked forward and asked, "Dang Dang, have you discovered anything?" Dang Dang nodded and pointed to the stone wall behind him, saying, "Look, these five pairs of couplets on the stone wall are all extremely difficult, some we've never even seen before, I don't know what to do."

  Everyone heard the words and walked closer to look at the text on the stone wall, then gradually furrowed their brows. Arrow Xu said: "We, the five heroes of Tenglong, can recognize a few characters and have read military books, but we haven't read much poetry, this is really difficult for us." Arrow Yi also furrowed his brow, to be honest, last time they drew lots for martial arts was purely lucky, thinking it would end there, didn't expect another round.

  If they can't help in this round, then they won't have the chance to take the Jingyuan Pearl again. Although the Jingyuan Pearl is very tempting to them, after all, they still have the principles of being a knight-errant, and they don't want to ruin the reputation of Tenglong Five Heroes because of the Jingyuan Pearl. Besides, the other two groups of contestants may not necessarily come out on top either, this is an absolute once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity! Looking at the five couplets on the stone wall again:

  The Pavilion Overlooking the River, gazing at the river's flow, from the pavilion overlooking the river, I gaze at the river's flow. The river and the pavilion have stood for thousands of years, the river has flowed for thousands of years.

  Green lamp observes green history, relying on green dragon to hide the moon, in a humble position without disgracing the blue sky.

  Six lines of the hexagram: three inside and three outside. The duck floats on the river, counting the numbers, three pairs, more than one alone.

  Smoke locks pond willow.

  Lonely cold window empty guard sparse.

  Just saying each sentence is already giving me a headache. Especially the fourth sentence, it looks simple on the surface, but it actually describes the willow trees by the pond with a hazy mist, which has a beautiful and mysterious feel to it. In reality, every word's radical and component parts subtly imply the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. From ancient times to the present, saying something that is both reasonable and scenic, yet also structurally sound, is truly not easy, even if you manage to come up with something.

  Barely satisfactory, far from perfect.

  The crowd fell silent for a long time, but not a single clue was found. After a while, Rainbow Cat slowly opened its mouth and said: "First verse, Yin Yue Jing, Yin Yue Ying, Yin Yue Jing in Yin Yue Ying, Moon Well Ten Thousand Years, Moon Shadow Ten Thousand Years." What?! Rainbow Cat actually figured it out so quickly! The crowd stared at Rainbow Cat in shock, as if they didn't dare to believe. Dingdang also said incredulously: "Rainbow... Rainbow Cat, how did you think of it?" Rainbow Cat smiled slightly and said: "I once saw this couplet written on a piece of paper on my father's desk. At that time, I thought about it for half a day but couldn't figure it out. Later, my father showed me the second verse, and I remembered it then. I didn't expect it to come in handy now." Since one verse had already been figured out, Blue Rabbit saw that there was still some empty space on the couplet, so Jade Maiden drew her sword and, with a flick of her wrist, elegantly carved the second verse into the empty space. No one noticed that behind them, the Azure Bird began to quietly disappear from its tail feathers.

  The second pair, the Sunday Five were not willing to fall behind. After all, they also came from a famous family and had read a lot of poetry books. The five of them worked together and managed to come up with the second pair: Red face reflects red heart, riding a red rabbit chasing the wind, galloping in the interval is hard to forget the Red Emperor. To say that this sentence was also extremely clever, but they didn't relax and instead quickly looked at the next pair. In this way, both sides were evenly matched.

  On a cold day, he saw them bowing their heads in contemplation. He thought that they couldn't just rely on Rainbow Cat, so he also started thinking. However, the tightly furrowed brow already indicated that the couplet had trapped him.

  The air was quiet, and everyone hesitated to speak, clearly all being stumped. Also, the previous sentence that Rainbow Cat came up with was thanks to his old man's blessing, and the third sentence was obviously much longer and more complicated than the second one. Beside her, Dangdang furrowed her brow, seemingly thinking about something. Suddenly, she lifted her head abruptly, because she thought of a matching couplet. Taking the Jade Maiden Sword from Blue Rabbit's hand, she leapt up and inscribed a line of characters after the third row: A rod eight feet long, four feet with me, four feet away from me, in Snake Valley, measured nine inches zero point five.

  The body gently fell, and the five dragons and the Sunday Five were also shocked, of course, more tense, because the Phoenix Martial Hall had come out with another move. "Dingdang, well done!" Rainbow Cat praised sincerely. Dingdang showed a brilliant smile, this really had to thank her mother... It turned out that when Dingdang was seven years old, Shuilingling always wanted to cultivate Dingdang into a lady who excelled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. As a result, she found various masters to teach her over the next year. At first, Dingdang still pretended to listen seriously in front of Shuilingling, but later on, she ended up angering the masters, causing them to leave in frustration.

  She was forced to come up with a couplet, otherwise she would be confined for a month. In fact, it was calculated that she couldn't come up with the couplet and wanted her to restrain herself. Later, it was still Gu Jiujiu who helped her come up with the couplet and exempted Shuilian from punishment. Those few days were quite miserable for Gu Jiujiu, but fortunately, Gu Jiujiu's literary talent was not bad, and after much deliberation, she finally passed the test.

  After that, somehow Dingdang firmly remembered this couplet. Like this, only the last two couplets were left. At this time, the judge's prompt sound came again, and half a time had passed, leaving only one more hour.

  In the tense atmosphere, although others didn't notice, Lan Yu inadvertently caught a glimpse of Bi Niao, and was shocked to find that Bi Niao had almost disappeared. She pointed at Bi Niao and said: "Look!"
