Chapter 257: The Complete Story of the Five Song Immortals
After listening to Barbatos's advice, Paimon looked around curiously.
Meanwhile, Wanye, who had been silent for a long time, pointed to the pool not far away.
"there."
Immediately, the group gathered around, staring expectantly at the paper that was gradually getting wet in the pool.
Sure enough, a lot of words appeared on the piece of paper.
The content is as follows:
Five Songs of Immortal Beauty: The Ink-Dyed Chapter
The female poet thoroughly read through the colorful scrolls.
The red seal does not cover stolen articles.
Qingxi is good at washing away sunken books.
Clear waves are easily stained, revealing their true nature.
The elegant verses are hard to wash away with water.
The filthy sins of poetry will naturally disappear.
Kui Weng, searching for poetry, passed by.
I am currently composing a poem in remembrance of a deceased friend.
The turmoil had not yet subsided.
It was time for the imperial court to collect poems again.
……
After reading the contents, Wan Ye nodded in sudden understanding.
"The story says that after Mo Ran obtained Chi Ren's poetry collection, he put the collection in water, and then the handwriting of the poem that was accused of plagiarism appeared."
"That's strange, why does this character only appear when it's wet?"
Paimon shook his head and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.
“In the past, when printing was not well-developed, handwritten text on books was easily blurred by moisture. In order to preserve the writing for longer, special ink was often used, and then a waterproof coating was brushed on the paper after writing.”
"Although the method of making special ink is not easy, and the application of paint is also very time-consuming and laborious, but... since this collection of poems is presented to Lord Thor, it is naturally a valuable item, and it is worthwhile to use this method."
As Ayaka Kamisato spoke, she looked intently at Paimon.
"I see!"
After hearing her explanation, Paimon nodded thoughtfully.
"Wait a minute... The plagiarized poems not only lack the Red Man's seal, but the handwriting also looks different after getting wet compared to other papers."
After examining the piece of paper carefully, Barbatos looked up and said.
"So... this poem was added by later generations?! The Red People—were framed!"
After combining the information, Xingqiu instantly understood everything.
"So, this is the story that the Ink-Dyed Chapter wanted to tell us?"
Ying stood to the side with her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"In that case, the contents of the two pieces of paper are now determined. Manyo, Ayaka, I'll take you to find Abedo later. I wonder if you would be willing to be Abedo's models and be painted on the Five Immortals portrait display?"
As Paimon spoke, he flew between the two with a smile and looked at them expectantly.
"of course can."
"I have no problem."
The two smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Great! Now four of the paintings for the Five Song Immortals are finalized, only one more remains!"
"The story of the Five Song Immortals has come to an end, which is truly a cause for celebration!"
Barbatos clapped his hands with a smile.
Later, Ying and Paimon went to the World Merchant Guild to find Abedo, who then used them as models in his painting.
At this point, the entire story of the Five Song Immortals was depicted on the display board.
……
In the past, there were five poets in Inazuma.
They are respectfully known as the Five Song Immortals.
One year, Cuiguang went to the castle tower to pay homage and presented the poetry collection to Lord Raishin for his appreciation.
Unexpectedly, a page of Kui Zhi Weng's poems was torn out.
Cui Guang was questioned because of this matter.
Cui Guang bowed his head and admitted his mistake, explaining that he had been drinking heavily at a tavern the previous night.
In my drunken stupor, I felt as if a figure was approaching.
