I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Gu Yunzhou closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened them, looking at the shadow of Ou Sheng gradually disappearing in the sky. He bowed respectfully to show his respect for Ou Sheng.

Then, he straightened his clothes, looked at Gu Tianqiao calmly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"You'd better take a closer look. Although your crime isn't punishable by death, it's aiding and abetting the evil and lying! How can you escape punishment so easily?"

Gu Yunzhou's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him. He turned away, no longer paying attention to Gu Tianqiao, and began to clear the things on the table.

"Impossible, you lied to me!" Gu Tianqiao's laughter stopped abruptly, his face became extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of disbelief and horror.

He seemed to suddenly realize something, and he covered his heart tightly with one hand, shouting in panic: "My Wen Palace, why is my Wen Palace broken? No, I don't want this!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Gu Tianqiao's cry. They discussed, "So that's how it is. It seems no one can escape punishment under the judgment of Heaven and Earth. Perhaps, although Gu Tianqiao made a mistake, his crime wasn't punishable by death, so Heaven and Earth showed him mercy, only crushing his palace, rendering him a cripple, but sparing his life."

Everyone felt that this result was both fair and reasonable. Regardless of the severity of their crimes, simply slamming them to death would have been too harsh. They hadn't expected the will of heaven to be surprisingly humane. Everyone discussed the matter, a look of satisfaction on their faces.

At this moment, someone suddenly remembered something and said loudly, "Oh, that's not right. Why didn't any strange phenomena appear in Master Gu's second national poem, 'Bamboo and Rock'?"

His voice attracted the attention of the people around him, and others echoed: "Yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't said it. When "Almost Drinking" is completed, the literary energy turning into rain can quickly replenish the consumption of literary energy and physical strength, but the second national defense poem does not have any special effect. Could it be that this poem is of an amplifying type!" Their eyes fell on Gu Yan, their eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

"Yes, that's right. I think so, but I don't know the specific purpose of this poem. I must study it carefully when I get home. As long as I get the hang of it, I'll be able to unleash the power of this poem!"

Seeing that Gu Yunzhou had already started to clean up the table, and those poems that made people so envious were also put into his arms, everyone realized belatedly that they had agreed to have two poems to protect the country, but how come they only felt the magic of one poem? At this moment, they couldn't help but look at Gu Yunzhou with anticipation, hoping that this great talent could solve their doubts.

"Everyone, the mystery of the poem 'Bamboo and Rock' lies in its application against the enemy. When you are attacked by the enemy, you can recite this poem and summon an illusory bamboo shadow to resist the enemy's attack. In other words, it can enhance your own defense. As for the effect..."

Gu Yunzhou paused, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "It can generally withstand a blow three levels higher than its own realm. However, if the opponent's realm is only one level higher, then this effect will last for a while. But if the realm gap between the two is too large, then the bamboo shadow can only withstand a single attack before dissipating. Of course, the prerequisite for achieving these effects is that the poem "Bamboo and Rock" must be cultivated to the lowest entry level!"

As the original author recognized by Tianxing Continent, Gu Yunzhou knew the wonderful uses of "Bamboo and Rock" as soon as he finished writing it.

However, he never expected that this famous poem would actually increase his defense, which surprised him greatly. After all, the poem was written by Zheng Banqiao, so he had originally thought it would have other effects. However, the facts proved that the mystery and magic of the Tianxing Continent far exceeded his imagination.

"Hiss... Increased defense? Can it even withstand an attack that's three levels higher than its own? Although it can only withstand one attack, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and this attack may be the key to saving lives!"

"I don't expect to provoke an enemy far superior to my own level. As long as I can activate the special effects of 'Bamboo and Stone', I can also be like Min Bansheng, going in and out of the battlefield three times, killing those barbarians and making them throw away their armor and cry out to the heavens!"

"Okay, enough talking. I need to hurry home and study Bamboo and Rock in depth. This is my life-saving artifact!"

Everyone was amazed. This effect was clearly unexpected, but upon closer reflection, it made sense. Bamboo is known for its resilience, and given the profound meaning expressed in the poem, this effect was only natural.

"Great! Our soldiers on the Beichen front have another powerful weapon to save their lives and kill the enemy!"

Hua Erniang spoke excitedly, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She quickly turned to the people around her and ordered, "Hurry and copy this poem down, and send it to the front lines as quickly as possible. This is a treasure that can save countless soldiers' lives!" Then, she turned around and solemnly saluted Gu Yunzhou.

As a department directly under the imperial family, Hua Erniang was fully aware of her responsibility to serve the country and recruit talented individuals. Today, upon witnessing the powerful effect of "Bamboo and Rock," she felt an indescribable joy.

She had personally experienced the turbulent years of Beichen Kingdom. At that time, the country fell into chaos under the rule of the old emperor, the people were full of resentment, and the national strength was in jeopardy.

Fortunately, the old emperor died suddenly, and upon ascending the throne, the new emperor, with his diligence, love for the people, and outstanding leadership, successfully reversed the country's decline. He not only worked to improve people's livelihoods, but also actively promoted national development and prosperity, becoming a wise ruler deeply loved by the people.

Therefore, for Hua Erniang, anything that can help the country win victory and protect the people's safety is extremely precious. And Gu Yunzhou's "Bamboo and Rock" undoubtedly gave her a great surprise.

She knew that this poem would help more soldiers fight against the demons and barbarians. She would write to His Majesty to report the good news.

After this incident, anyone with eyes can see that Gu Yunzhou is a man of great talent. Such a person must be well protected to prevent this incident from happening again. Before he grows up, he must be provided with a safe environment in which to grow.

As the saying goes, "A gentleman will die for his friend." This saying applies not only to relationships between people, but also to relationships between people and their countries and nations. Hua Erniang, having experienced the turmoil of the country during the old emperor's reign, knows how hard-won the peace and stability we enjoy today is, and therefore cherishes her present life even more. At this moment, her gratitude to Gu Yunzhou is heartfelt.
