The young man from the Kong family looked at Bai Cangdong and said with a sneer: "I won't make it difficult for you. I'll just give you a simple sentence. If you can get it right within the time of one stick of incense, you will pass.
"
After saying that, he ordered his servant to light a stick of incense. The young man of the Kong family looked at Bai Candong and said, "Listen carefully, what I said above is like a chessboard made by heaven. Who dares to play it?"
This sentence is not difficult, and it is easy to match it, but the difficulty lies in the momentum. If the next sentence is not as powerful as the next sentence, people will look down upon it. Even if you match this sentence, your own
The momentum has also been suppressed. It will be a bit difficult to pass the next two levels if the momentum is not as good as others.
This is probably the so-called knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger. The first test of the Confucius family is half literary talent and half courage.
Just ask how the sky is like a pan and the stars are like a chess piece. How magnificent is this spirit? It is really not easy to come up with a sentence that can match it in a short period of time without losing in terms of spirit.
"You can take your time and think about it. Don't be anxious. There is still a long time for a stick of incense." The young man from the Kong family looked at Bai Cangdong condescendingly, and all the Kong family members also sneered secretly.
The person who burns this incense is also knowledgeable. The time for one stick of incense is definitely not short. It is enough to say such a sentence. However, with this time, if you have a bad temper, you will be impatient. When the time comes, you can come up with a sentence.
That's right, it doesn't matter whether his momentum matches.
Moreover, this incense from the Kong family is specially made and seems to last longer than ordinary incense. However, the incense burns quickly at the front and burns down a large amount in a short time, which makes people feel even more irritable.
"No need, it's just a sentence, why do you need to think about it." Bai Cangdong didn't even think about it, he opened his mouth and said: "The earth is the pipa and the road is the string, who can play it?"
The expressions of everyone in the Kong family changed after hearing this. Bai Cangdong's right words were equally extraordinary and he spoke them immediately, which is enough to prove that Bai Cangdong has the sun and the moon in his heart, which is incomparable to ordinary people. He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
It's Yilin.
"I wonder if what I said is correct?" Bai Cangdong couldn't help but secretly sigh that everything is always connected to the extreme.
Someone on earth has already produced such a couplet, so Bai Candong was able to figure it out easily. Moreover, this couplet is so famous that it often appears in various stories, which also impressed Bai Candong deeply.
Until now, as soon as I heard the previous sentence, I remembered the next sentence.
If Bai Cangdong was really allowed to be right, he would be right as well, but he couldn't just open his mouth like this and have to think for a minute or two.
"I'll consider you to have passed this level." The young man from the Kong family snorted coldly, turned around and retreated back to the three sons.
Another young man from the Kong family came out, looked at Bai Cangdong and said: "You are right with your Dao sentence. I won't embarrass you with my Dao sentence anymore. I wrote two lines of poetry before. You can continue with the next line."
, if you continue well, you will pass."
"Please tell me." Bai Cangdong looked unmoved. He knew that the first level was just a shock, and now the real test is coming. The Kong family is a literary master, and their literary talents are doubled. They can be said to be the best in Yuxu Palace.
Being the first Wen Dao family, it is definitely not easy to get rid of.
This continuation poem is far more difficult than the anti-Tao sentences. As long as the anti-Tao sentences are correct and neat, even if the artistic conception is a little bit off, it is considered a pass. After all, the same sentence can be correct in many ways. As long as the format is correct, no one can say whether it is right or wrong.
But the continuation poem is completely different. Many people have a flash of inspiration and write famous lines throughout the ages. However, because the first sentence is so well written, the inspiration behind it disappears, and they can't come up with the following sentence anyway.
There are many such examples in ancient China, and there are also many beautiful talks about continuation poems, which are often passed down through the ages and are talked about by people.
This is famous, but if you fail to write a successful continuation, then it is not a good talk, but a dog's tail that continues the mink, a distinction between superiors and inferiors, and a judgment between immortals and mortals.
This kind of thing is most unbearable for literati. They would rather write half of the poem than continue it haphazardly.
Now that the Kong family suddenly asked him to continue the poem, Bai Candong knew even if he thought about it with his buttocks, it must be the kind of famous line written by a senior member of the Kong family. No one can continue the second half of the poem. It would be difficult for him to get it here.
.
Although he knew there were difficulties, Bai Cangdong couldn't say no, so he had to bite the bullet.
Things are indeed as Bai Candong thought. The Kong family does have half of the poem, and it is exactly what they want to use today to embarrass Bai Candong.
The original author of this half of the poem is the senior of the Kong family who is engaged to the old lady.
Speaking of the senior of the Kong family, he was really a seed of infatuation. He loved the old lady all his life, and even risked his life to save the old lady from danger. His infatuation for the old lady could be described as moving the world.
But the word love is indeed difficult to calculate with reason. No matter how good the seniors of the Kong family are to the old lady, the old lady just likes the then God Emperor Yuxu.
The elder of the Kong family was infatuated with the old lady, and the old lady also loved the Emperor Yuxu desperately, so much so that she finally broke off the engagement and married the Emperor Yuxu, leaving the senior of the Kong family depressed and lonely.
He grew old and never married again in his life.
Therefore, the old lady felt guilty towards the senior of the Kong family and felt sorry for the Kong family. Although she had paid little attention to the affairs in Yuxu Palace over the years, she had always taken good care of the Kong family.
It's just that the Kong family hates her too much and doesn't accept her kindness at all. Even so, the old lady still helps the Kong family as much as she can, completely out of guilt for the senior of the Kong family.
This half of the poem is about the old lady breaking off her engagement and marrying Queen Yuxu Shen. The senior of the Kong family wrote it casually. He only wrote half of the poem. I don’t know if the following was unexpected or because he was sad and did not write it down anymore. In the end, it was left
Half of the poems remained in the Kong family, and they were not continued until his death.
Many people in the Kong family also tried to continue the second half, but many people with outstanding literary talents in the Kong family have tried, but the results were not satisfactory.
Because the first half of the sentence is so well written, and it is written based on the state of mind of the senior Confucius at that time, it really makes people cry and is moved by the infatuation of the senior Confucius.
Therefore, those who continued to write later found it difficult to surpass the first half no matter how they continued, and it was even more difficult to match it in terms of artistic conception, so until now, the poem is still only half a section.
Today, the Kong family wants to use this half of the poem to embarrass Bai Cangdong. It can also be regarded as venting anger for the senior of the Kong family, so that the descendants of the Bai family will also be embarrassed.
After all, Bai Cangdong is also a descendant of God Emperor Yuxu. It is indeed difficult for the Kong family to accept that someone named Bai wants to join the Kong family.
Since the old lady broke off her engagement and married the Emperor Yuxu, no one named Bai has ever entered the door of the Kong family again. Bai Cangdong can be said to be the first in the world.
