"You literary friends have misunderstood. I do not look down on you Seven Islands and Sea Kingdoms, but you have misunderstood my poems." Du Ning said.
When hearing Du Ning's explanation, many scholars from the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom showed disbelief.
"What did you say? We misunderstood your poem? Are the ten words you wrote not a five-character palindrome? What a shameless statement!"
Lei Hua gritted his teeth and spoke. The reason why he was more nervous than anyone else was because he felt that Du Ning was showing off his talent and treating everyone like monkeys, so he denounced Du Ning and insisted on making Du Ning apologize.
But if they misinterpret the poem, it is their own business, and the previous denunciation will become a huge joke, which will make the scholars of the Seven Islands Sea Country even more embarrassed.
"In addition to the five-character palindrome poem, is there any other solution?" Zhang Zewen said solemnly.
The scholars in the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom looked at each other in confusion. They really couldn't figure out how to interpret Du Ning's poems.
Lei Hua looked impatient, "Du Ning, stop being so mysterious, you..."
"Shut up! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. It's not embarrassing!" Lin Hengyu suddenly scolded.
Lei Hua closed his mouth, but he still didn't believe there were other solutions. He gritted his teeth. At the same time, he was worried that everyone had really misunderstood Du Ning's poems.
"Du Jun's talent is indeed far superior to ordinary people, I admire him!"
Lin Hengyu finally saw the mystery in Du Ning's poem, and said with a very ugly face: "Actually, the correct interpretation of these ten words should be a seven-rhythm poem."
"What? A seven-character poem? This is impossible!"
"How can it be possible to spell out a seven-rhythm poem with just ten words?"
"I don't believe it, Mr. Lin, you are not mistaken, are you?"
"Presumptuous! Are you questioning Mr. Lin? Only we may be wrong. How can Mr. Lin be wrong?"
"The student made a mistake, but the student really couldn't believe that this was a seven-rhythm poem!"
Scholars from the Seven Islands Sea Country are very skeptical about this.
"Since you don't believe it, I will recite this poem to you on the spot."
Lin Hengyu began to recite Du Ning's poems.
"The clear water of Xianglian is moved by the cool breeze,
The water is moving, the wind is cool, and the summer is long.
The cool summer breeze stirs the water during the long day,
The cool breeze moves the water and the fragrance of green lotus flowers blooms."
After reading it, many readers present were shocked.
Everyone looked at Du Ning and found that Du Ning nodded slightly towards Lin Hengyu.
"That's it! That's it!"
"The first seven characters and the last seven characters form two sentences, and then these two sentences are read backwards to become the last two sentences. Not only does it have a great artistic conception, but it also reads catchy. It's amazing! It's amazing!"
"First of all, this is a palindrome poem, which is one oddity. This palindrome is two oddities. At the same time, it is also a looping palindrome, which is three oddities. When read backward, it is exactly the same as the content of the original reading, which is four oddities!
”
"Did I hear that right? It's actually one of the Four Strange Poems! It has one more 'wonder' than Mr. Lin's poems!"
There were waves of exclamation all around.
Zhang Zewen and Lei Hua were stunned on the spot. They looked at the ten words written by Du Ning in disbelief. They thought about it over and over in their hearts, and they felt more and more that it was a wonderful poem.
Just now, they thought that Du Ning was deliberately showing off his literary talents, and they made rash conclusions without understanding Du Ning's poems. They said that Du Ning was treating the scholars of their Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom as monkeys, and they asked Du Ning indignantly.
Apologize to them.
But now it seems that what they just did was so ridiculous that it was enough to bring shame to the literary world of the Seven Islands Sea Country.
Facts have proved that even if Du Ning intended to show off his literary talent, he was very successful because everyone only saw the ten-character five-character poem, but not the seven-character poem composed of the palindrome.
Even though the five-character poem can be regarded as a poem, compared with the seven-character poem, it lacks a lot of artistic conception.
"How is it possible! How could Du Ning have such exquisite literary talents? Could it be that the civilization of the Holy Forest Continent is better than our Seven Island Sea Country?" Zhang Zewen roared in his heart with great reluctance.
Lei Hua's expression was extremely ugly, and he secretly gritted his teeth, making a muffled sound.
Other scholars from Haiguo felt very ashamed and angry.
What a shame!
It’s so embarrassing!
This is not only a disgrace to themselves, but also a disgrace to their overseas literary circles.
"I... lost!"
Lin Hengyu's eyes were dull. Du Ning's poems and essays had more of a 'return palindrome' than his, making the judgment clear.
Even if Liu Cheng'en intended to be partial, he couldn't find any reason or excuse, because this literary conference itself was about the winner of the most extraordinary poems. Du Ning was not only one of the four extraordinary poems, but also the artistic conception and wording of the poems were completely outstanding.
Crush in strength!
"Mr. Lin gave up, how could this happen..."
"This...this is impossible..."
Some scholars in the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom were astonished and could not accept the fact that Lin Hengyu, a dignified Confucian and Taoist scholar, would lose to Du Ning and lose to a Confucian and Taoist scholar.
Liu Chengen secretly clenched his fists, a look of extreme unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Tian Feipeng said very happily: "Now it seems that the outcome is very obvious. Today I really want to thank all the literary friends from Haiguo for their hospitality and organizing this literary exchange. Otherwise we would not be able to see Du Ning write
This four-odd poem."
Zhang Zewen became so angry that his chest surged with anger.
Because just when Lin Hengyu wrote his Sanqi poem, he once said very similar words to mock the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent, but now Tian Feipeng returned it.
It felt like an invisible slap had hit me in the face.
"I have something unclear, and I would like to ask Du Jun for advice." Lin Hengyu said.
"Mr. Lin, it's okay to say so." Du Ning said with a smile.
"Why is Du Jun's wonderful cross poem based on summer and not other seasons? I would venture to guess that since there are cross poems in summer, are there also cross poems in other seasons?" Lin Hengyu asked.
.
"I chose 'summer' as the theme because it is early summer now, which is more in line with the current solar terms. However, what Mr. Lin just said is right. Since there are cross poems describing summer, there are naturally cross poems for other seasons, so
In my spare time while watching the cultural fair, I figured out the strange cross poems of the other three seasons."
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was shocked.
Du Ning actually composed four Four Strange Poems at the same literary conference!
This is enough to shock the overseas literary world for a hundred years!
Many scholars in the Seven Islands Sea Country couldn't believe it at first, but Du Ning's Summer Cross Poetry was placed there, so that no one had the right to question it.
Lin Hengyu's body trembled, he lowered his posture, and said: "Can you please Du Jun write the other three seasons of cross poems, so that I can open my eyes?"
"Okay."
Du Ning nodded slightly, then took up his pen and wrote three more cross poems.
The orioles sing on the banks of the willows, the spring is clear and the moon is bright at dawn.
Qiujiang Chuyansu sandbank shallow water flow.
The red stove spreads the charcoal and roasts the cold wind to protect against the midwinter.
Everyone looked at it and were all amazed.
Sure enough, there are wonderful cross poems in other seasons, with exquisite writing and extraordinary artistic conception. Every poem is excellent!
"I'm a good boy, Du Jun is simply a stranger..." Fan Rulong whispered softly.
"If you dominate the literary world, you are worthy of the name Wenjun!" Fu Yue said in admiration.
Tian Feipeng used the Hongyan Seal to pass these four poems to Chen Mingwang, so that Chen Mingwang could see the literary world that was sent back to the Holy Forest Continent for future generations.
The scholars in the Holy Forest Continent all showed very proud expressions.
This is really too shameless!
Lin Hengyu was convinced and had no temper at all for losing.
Compared to Du Ning, Lin Hengyu suddenly found that he was far behind.
"Hey..."
Lin Hengyu sighed softly, stood up, bowed to Du Ning, and said: "As a great scholar, I dare not claim to be knowledgeable about the past and the present, but I also think that I am quite knowledgeable. Not to mention the Seven Islands Sea Country, even in the Holy Forest Continent.
There is a place for me, but today I saw Du Jun’s cross into four strange poems and realized that there is someone outside the world. I am sincerely convinced.”
Seeing Lin Hengyu bowing like this, the scholars in the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom felt very uncomfortable.
This shows that Lin Hengyu was impressed by Du Ning's poems and recognized him as a literary gentleman of the human race.
Liu Chengen said: "Since Mr. Lin has admitted defeat, I will announce in the name of the host of the cultural conference that Yun Qijun will be the leader of this cultural conference, so the lottery of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom should be given to mainland literary friends."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu. And thank you, Mr. Lin."
Du Ning politely handed over his hand, "We accepted the Dragon Armor Inkstone on behalf of the Holy Court, but in exchange, we also asked Mr. Lin to take the representative of the Haiguo Literary Circle to accept the golden war paper, because the golden war paper was originally given to your country by the Holy Court.
One of the gifts, instead of giving it to the monarch tomorrow, why not leave it in the library as a commemoration for you, what do you think?"
"This..."
Liu Chengen was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that Du Ning would be so ambitious. Even though he had defeated the leader of the cultural society, he was still willing to give away the golden war paper.
Although this is one of the gifts from the Holy Court to the Sea Country, not everyone can have such courage, which is really admirable.
The other scholars from Haiguo looked at each other and started talking among themselves.
After a while, Lin Hengyu said: "Since it is the heart of the Holy Court, it is the same whether it is given to our Haiguo literary world or to the imperial court. Then I will thank the Holy Court on behalf of the Haiguo literary world." The scholars on both sides showed smiles. Everyone gained something from this literary meeting, and it was considered a worthwhile trip.
So Liu Chengen handed Lin Hengyu's Dragon Armor Inkstone to mainland scholars, and the golden war paper was given to Lin Hengyu for safekeeping.
Next, Liu Chengen made a brief summary of the conference, and then announced to everyone the successful conclusion of the conference.
After the cultural gathering is over.
Liu Chengen, in the name of the Ministry of Rites, arranged for scholars from the Holy Forest Continent to rest in a house in the imperial city.
Early tomorrow morning, officials from the Ministry of Rites will arrange for Du Ning and others to go to court to meet the king of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.
After settling down, Du Ning and others took a rest very early.
