When the first competition started, the sun had already set and the sky had turned gloomy. Many Kaifeng residents who came to watch the competition stretched their necks to look at the stage, wondering why there was only talk and no movement for a long time.
Just as everyone was getting anxious, they saw a water dragon team pushing a water cart and spraying water on the ground with water guns.
Many people refused to lend it, and asked the soldiers why they had to sprinkle water in broad daylight. The soldiers only said that the weather was dry recently and they were afraid that the wind would blow soon. Didn’t the imperial palace catch fire a few days ago?
The people thought it made sense. If something went wrong on such an auspicious day like today, it would be terrible.
Finally, the gong sounded, and the chief examiner came on stage and announced, "The first round of competition, Yueyang and Shen Boye will be on stage."
