Chapter 183: The West Gate is Difficult

Is this a poem? Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't help laughing in their hearts. Several people laughed out loud.

Yu Bingyan stomped her feet hard, and she was angry and ashamed. Uncle San, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand. This is a couplet. What does it have to do with poetry? Where is there any good poetry?

Ling Tian pulled the corner of his mouth strangely, finally holding back his smile, and turned around and said, "Young Master Ximen, come on."

Ximen Qing was dull and felt uncomfortable standing on the stage. He wanted to walk back to Jile Pavilion. However, Ling Tian stopped him and turned around and smiled, "I wonder what Mr. Ling still has to teach you?"

Ling Tian smiled and said, "The first couplet that the young master disdained to deal with me just now is indeed a few similar couplets before, but it doesn't matter. But how about you please Mr. Ximen to give me another couplet?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shout. They all understood it very well. It seemed that Ling Tian and Ximen Qing had a match today. I wonder what tricky couplets he would make for Ximen Qing?

Ximen Qing was revived and confident that as long as he was not as "absolute" as he had just now, he was determined to regain his face in this sentence, and he was very energetic and said, "I'll ask Mr. Ling to come out the first couplet, Ximen cleansed his ears." He looked like he was waiting for him in a strong battle.

Ling Tian smiled slightly and said, "I am just a little bit less knowledgeable, so I will come up with a short couplet. My first couplet is 'Three Lights Suns, Moons and Stars'. In a hurry, Ling Tian couldn't think of any good couplets. Just make do with it. I think it will definitely not be difficult for Mr. Ximen, haha."

When everyone heard this, they all felt that the first couplet was concise and simple, as if it was ordinary and difficult; but after careful recollection, they immediately realized the unusualness of the first couplet! Their faces changed color one by one, and everyone lowered their heads and thought. After thinking for a while, they all took a breath of cold air! The couplet of just five characters was so difficult to match.

Because the quantity words in the couplet must be matched with quantity words. Since the first couplet has "three", the lower couplet should not be. But the three words "sun, moon and star" that followed are all separate things and are gathered together. They just happened to be called "three lights". This makes it difficult for the lower couplet to use, no matter which number is used to match it, either three extra characters or less than three characters. What's more, the sun, moon and star are exactly the names of the next three continents today!

Ximen Qing's thoughts were lit up, and the only thing he thought was that he could match was "Three Talents Heaven and Earth Man". But the first word of the other party's first couplet was three, so he was obviously not suitable for the Three Talents Heaven and Earth Man, but using other things was absolutely unreasonable, so he couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought!

In an instant, Mingyan Building fell into silence again, and only Master Yu's chewing sound was particularly clear!

More than a thousand people fell into deep thought at the same time, and several knowledgeable scholars were particularly attentive. They were all walking back and forth with their beards, with a sad face. They were as famous as Mr. Qin, and today they were invisibly compared because of Mr. Qin, the proud disciple Ling Tian. If even the first couplet of his disciples could not match, it would be really embarrassing. Although Ling Tian's first couplet pointed out that Ximen Qing was right, all the old masters regarded this couplet as a competition between him and Mr. Qin, and they all screamed in secret.

After a long time, an old scholar with a white beard shook his head sadly and sighed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm really terrifying! Such a five-character short couplet is so difficult. It's really easy to be right, right and difficult! It's really absolute!" As soon as this said, the whole building was filled with sighs!

Mr. Qin himself was not sorry, although he still shook his head and sighed, but his face was full of spirit. He looked half sad. Seeing his disciples' top couplets that seemed easy and difficult to stump the heroes of the world, Mr. Qin was already proud in his heart and almost wanted to sing loudly! He suddenly felt that his whole life had truly reached the peak level he had always dreamed of!

I looked at the old Confucian scholars who usually competed with me with great pleasure. I felt so happy! Hehe, these are my proud disciples! How about it? Are you convinced?

Ximen Qing's face became increasingly ugly, and his fair face slowly turned into a pig's blood-like color, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, as if they were rushing down.

Ling Tian smiled and said with a leisurely attitude, "Young Master Ximen can think about it slowly, and don't be anxious; I will go back and have a sleep before talking about it, hahaha..."

"Let's go!" Ximen Qing's forehead bulged, "Your first couplet is about the number of 'three', which is obviously a difficult person. It is obviously a right thing. I can't tell you, but I will never believe that someone can tell you it!" As soon as this statement was made, many people present nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Ximen Qing's words!

It is actually not just Ximen Qing who has this idea. After truly understanding the difficulty of this first couplet, many people have such ideas, but no one dares to say it loudly like Ximen Qing!

"Hahaha, it's such a joke!" Ling Tian laughed loudly, and said, "All things in the world have yin and yang, and there is heaven and earth. This is the eternal truth. Anyone with the first couplet must have the second couplet. You can't tell me, because you are a little talented and knowledgeable, and you are not a Tao, but you dare to speak wildly without anyone to show it. Mr. Ximen is too scrutinized by the heroes in the world!"

When Ximen Qing heard that he copied the original copy of what he had previously accused him, he was even more ironic, and his face turned red and in a mess. He shouted: "I don't believe anyone can get this first couplet!"

"If there is, what about bento?" Ling Tian said gloomy.

"If Mr. Ling, you can write the second couplet, Ximen Qing will be reluctant to give up the disadvantage in the study of couplets from now on, and will never show off the knowledge of couplets in this life!" Ximen Qing's words were extremely sloppy. First of all, he targeted Ling Tian alone, meaning that only Ling Tian can count the numbers. No matter who can get right, it has nothing to do with Ling Tian! The second is that he only said that he would give up the disadvantage in the couplets and will never show off again! But he did not say anything else!

No longer showing off his knowledge of couplets, he can still show off his poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting! It means that he has not suffered much loss to himself, not to mention that he has been "absolutely" in the past. Even if there is any "unique" gathering, Ximen Qing may not have the appearance to participate.

The same thing is true. Most of the people in the field today are not fools. They all heard the meaning of Ximen Qing's words. For a moment, booed in the huge hall, and they all looked down on this person's shamelessness and nonsense.

Ximen Qing's face turned pale again, and he turned a deaf ear to the sarcastic voices around him. He felt that he still had a lot of talent, so how could he admit defeat in person?

Ling Tian sneered, and did not care about the loopholes in Ximen Qing's words. He really lost patience with this person's shamelessness and said, "Then listen. I have to the second couplet..."

Everyone immediately stretched their ears, and Ling Tian elongated his voice and said word by word: "Four Poems Styles of Elegant Songs!"

"Three lights, sun, moon and stars, four poems and elegance!"

After a brief silence in the field, there was a sudden thunderous sound! The "Book of Songs" was also circulated in this Tianxing Continent, which was inconsistent with the era in which Ling Tian was located. As we all know, the "Book of Songs" is divided into three categories: Feng, Ya, and Song, but Ya is divided into "Da Ya" and "Xiao Ya", so the "Four Poems" are indescribable!

Not only is the parallelism stable, but it is a perfect match, and it is opposite to each other, but it is also very suitable for the atmosphere in the venue!

It's really awesome!

Ximen Qing's face was ashamed. For a long time, he had been arrogant and knowledgeable, and had never met an opponent. But this long-term pride was actually completely hit by Ling Tian in the first game today! He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed!

During the review, a longest-old white-haired scholar came out from the crowd. He looked at Ling Tian and exclaimed: "Young Master Ling is really a talented person! Brother Qin has such a good disciple, so he will have no regrets in this life!"

Mr. Qin narrowed his eyes into a slit, twisted his beard, looked at Ling Tian, ​​and his face was filled with praise and pride. He realized that his face was not only full of glory, but also golden.

Ling Tian smiled and said modestly: "In fact, these three lights, sun, moon and stars seem to be more than just this second couplet. There are many second couplets that can be matched; for example, 'a gust of wind, thunderstorm' and 'brother countries of two dynasties', can be done, but you have not thought about it carefully. If you have time to think about it carefully, you will definitely be correct."

"Three lights of sun, moon and stars, a gust of wind, thunderstorm; Three lights of sun, moon and stars are brothers in two dynasties;" The old Confucian scholar recited it several times, feeling the fragrance of his mouth, and smiled and said, "It's indeed a talent of genius! It's indeed a talent of genius! I'm convinced!" Shi Shiran returned to his seat and sat down, and looked at Ling Tian again, his eyes were already looking at his nephew, full of praise.

Ling Tian smiled again and said, "I talked about friendship with Senior Ye Qingchen, a blue-robed man, that day. He also had a pair, which was even more exciting. His couplet was 'Six-Pulse Cun Guan Chi'! It was a truly superior work! The senior once said that it is easy to make a match, but it is difficult to make a match! Although the first couplet is difficult to make, there is no real match!"

Ling Tian’s words now have retained his face for these great scholars who have studied the knowledge of the past. Ye Qingchen, a master in the educated youth, is famous all over the world. The younger generation may not know it. However, a first-class figure like Mr. Qin, has long heard of his master's name. He heard Ling Tian’s "reposting" Ye Qingchen stepped down for everyone, and everyone was grateful. He couldn’t help but change his impression of him. He felt that such a person was called the "No. 1 playboy" all year round, and it was simply blind for everyone!

The couplets have reached this point, and there is no meaning to be consistent. The judges gathered together and discussed it, and they all decided to go to the next part immediately. The poems!

The dejected talents who had been hit by Ling Tian were immediately excited and were ready to beat him, but this time they changed their targets, from Ximen Qing to Ling Tian!
Chapter completed!
