#105 - Shixin, it's time for you to get off the mountain
The red榜 hung high in the air.
In Wudu, everyone raised their heads.
Everyone knew what this red榜 was.
Whether they were literati or commoners, everyone looked forward to this榜 with anticipation.
Compared to the 天下榜, which rarely changed for hundreds or even thousands of years,
Remember the first website domain name 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞
Compared to the 青云榜, which encompassed all the geniuses in the world,
the 红颜榜, in some respects, actually received more attention.
After all, few men don't appreciate beauty, and few women don't compare themselves to others.
Not to mention that the 红颜榜 might even feature ordinary people.
Perhaps because the 红颜榜 was the only榜 that ordinary people could be on, it narrowed the distance with the common people, making them pay more attention to it.
At the same time, in the various dynasties of the human race, the demon kingdoms of the Southern Border, and the various large and small sects, whether human or demon, everyone raised their heads.
The common people of each dynasty and the disciples of each sect all had their own "goddess" in their hearts, and they naturally hoped that their goddess could be on the榜.
However, among the trillions of living beings in the world, there were only a hundred adult women who could be on the榜.
Xu Ming, who was on his way, also stopped when he saw the red榜 in the sky.
Even the stern-faced Prime Minister Fang in the carriage curiously stepped out of the carriage, sat beside Xu Ming and Xu Pangda, and looked up.
After all, regardless of age, looking at this kind of榜 was a common pleasure for men.
[红颜榜, Hundredth Place — Wang Ru]
[Third Princess of Wei, possessing the beauty to captivate fish and birds, and the grace to shame the moon and flowers. Her gentle smile is elegant, and her presence brings the vitality of spring.]
[红颜榜, Ninety-ninth Place — Chen Nan'er]
[Daughter of the Great General of Qi]
The 红颜榜 always ranked from the bottom up.
Whenever a name appeared, it would stir up a commotion somewhere in the world.
After the women in the bottom fifty were listed, Xu Ming didn't recognize any of them.
The Empress Xiao, who was originally ranked ninety-third, was no longer on the榜.
And in the top fifty, at the thirtieth position, Xu Ming saw that Elder of the Tianxuan Sect, Wang Xuan, Qing Wan's master.
Soon, it will be the top ten of the 红颜榜!
Because everyone's aesthetics are different, the ranking of the 红颜榜 will definitely be controversial.
Among them, the top ten of the 红颜榜 are the most controversial.
The women in the top ten of the 红颜榜 each have completely different styles, some are pure and lovely, some are charming and moving, and each of them almost represents the ceiling of their type.
And everyone's aesthetics are different. You like mature women, but I like sweet girls! You like sword immortals, but I like princesses!
So many people think that the top ten are indistinguishable.
But the 红颜榜 has rankings because the 红颜榜 is an artifact that intercepts the laws of heaven. It ranks according to the most common desires of the people in the world.
That is to say, although everyone's favorite styles are different, even though you may not have seen any of them,
the laws of heaven know your aesthetics and directly vote for you.
If at this time, there are more people who like petite girls, the petite girls will be ranked higher. If at this time, there are more people who like mature women, then the mature women will be ranked higher.
To be honest, Xu Ming felt that the old ancestor of Tianji City who created the 红颜榜 was really immoral.
But precisely this immoral榜, after hundreds of thousands of years, has been scolded by countless people, but still attracts much attention.
[红颜榜, Tenth Place — Mo Zhu'er, Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus Sect of the Western Regions, naturally evil, as deadly as poison. One look at her, and drinking poison to quench thirst is not impossible.]
[红颜榜, Ninth Place — Bai Bing, Daughter of the Snow Demon Kingdom of the Southern Border, with white hair like snow, skin like ice, and a coldness like an abyss.]
[红颜榜, Eighth Place — Jiang Luoyu, Sect Leader of the Myriad Swords Sect, whose person is like a sword, and has closed her heart for a thousand years.]
[红颜榜, Seventh Place — Xu Xuenuo, Disciple of the Sect Leader of the Myriad Swords Sect, whose sword is cold, and so is she.]
[红颜榜, Sixth Place — Ni, Queen of the Nine-tailed Demon Kingdom of the Southern Border, charming and bewitching, swaying all living beings.]
[红颜榜, Fifth Place — Qin Qingwan, Chief Disciple of Wang Xuan of the Tianxuan Sect. The Qin family has a daughter who has just come of age,娇俏可人及倾城, with a clear mind and gentle as her name.]
[红颜榜, Fourth Place — Wu Yanhan, Princess of the Wu Dynasty, 佳人倾城无人知, 错许愚人不知惜.]
Xu Ming: “…”
Looking at the commentary on Wu Yanhan, Xu Ming's brow twitched slightly.
“佳人倾城无人知, 错许愚人不知惜” Isn't this sentence scolding himself, "You fool, you don't know how to cherish Wu Yanhan's beauty"?
Xu Ming felt that Tianji City seemed to have a big opinion of him.
The ranking of the 红颜榜 was arranged by the heavens.
But, the commentary was written by the City Lord of Tianji City.
[红颜榜, Third Place — Zhu Cici, Daughter of Marquis Yunyi of Qi, a closed-door disciple of the Dean of Bailu Academy, 最是人间留不住, 朱颜辞镜花辞树.]
[红颜榜, Second Place — Long Yueqiao, Eternal Dragon Queen, infatuated with one person, fifteen thousand six hundred and thirty-three years old, occupying the top spot for fourteen thousand and thirty-two years.]
When they saw that the Eternal Dragon Queen had fallen from the top of the榜, everyone was shocked!
That Dragon Queen who had occupied the top spot for ten thousand years.
That woman who made people feel that "if the Dragon Queen doesn't die, no one can reach the top of the榜."
Actually fell to second place?!
Who is the first place?!
[红颜榜, Top Spot — Shixin. Disciple of Leiming Temple in the Western Regions, 舍也, 解也, 散也, 消也, 废也, 服也, 却难以释心也.]
“Shixin? Disciple of Leiming Temple?” Old Mr. Fang suspected that he had seen it wrong.
“Old sir, what is this Leiming Temple?” Xu Ming asked curiously.
Old Mr. Fang shook his head: “Leiming Temple is the number one Buddhist temple in the Western Regions.”
“？？？” Xu Pangda looked incredulous, “Does the Buddhist sect have women? And the top of the 红颜榜?”
In the Leiming Temple in the Western Regions, a young girl wearing a monk's robe sat in a corner.
In front of the girl was an ancient Bodhi tree.
The girl was like a tranquil spring, becoming more refined and ethereal under the baptism of time.
Like a peach blossom blooming in early spring, delicate yet dignified, her eyes were as deep as a pool, as if able to see through all the disturbances in the world, yet unintentionally revealing a faint compassion and pity.
The girl's long eyelashes, like the wings of a butterfly, trembled gently, as if flying among the flowers,
The girl's figure was slender and well-proportioned, like bamboo in the mountains. Her skin was as white as jade, delicate and smooth, as if it could reveal a faint luster. Even though she was wearing a simple monk's robe, the wide sleeves swayed gently with the wind, making her even more elegant and otherworldly.
“Shixin.” An old monk walked over and softly called out the name of his disciple.
The girl stood up, put her hands together and bowed: “Abbot Grandfather.”
Looking at this girl who was both his disciple and his "granddaughter", the abbot of Leiming Temple smiled and said: “Shixin, it is time for you to go down the mountain.”
