7864 Chapter 7862-
The problem was that if they couldn’t use the couplets they already had, it would be really difficult to come up with a second half in a short time!
The only advantage was that everyone knew about this absolute in the past and had thought about it when they were free. At least they had some Foundation. He didn’t really need to start with Zero Foundation.
Lin Yi leaned on a Jade pillar, his right hand under his chin as he pondered.
The first half of “smoke seals the Willows over the pond” was also in the secular world, and it was very famous. It could be considered an absolute.
The difficulty lay in the left side of all five elements, and the most important one was the intent!
The ink-wash painting in front of him depicted the artistic conception of the first half very well. The second half not only had to pursue neatness, but the artistic conception could not be too different.
For example, the second half of the Tipei brocade pillar lamp used as an example, although it was also on the left side of the five elements, the order of the five elements was different from the first half.
The difference in the artistic conception was also huge, so the score given was only a barely qualified six points.
Lin Yi was trying to recall all the couplets and comparing them with the ones on the sub Island to see if there were any couplets.
Fortunately, there weren’t many good sentences in the sub-Island, and it seemed that in terms of literature, it was worse than the secular world.
With that, Lin Yi had more confidence.
It’s just a six-point qualified second half, and you can casually throw out a bunch of them!
The reason why the millennial impossibility was called the millennial impossibility was because there were many people who matched it, but no perfect couplets had ever appeared. Then, more people would try it.
“I have a couplet that can match it!”
Ximen liuyan was one of those who had tried it. He had studied the Willow Pond locked in smoke before, but the second half of the couplet that he had come up with was not perfect, so it had not been circulated.
He could take it out this time, so he immediately stepped out of the crowd and glanced around with satisfaction.””This little brother has thrown a brick to attract Jade, and has embarrassed himself! Please enlighten me!”
After pretending to be humble, Ximen liuyan raised her brush and quickly wrote five big, elegant words: “frost congealing light bell”!
To be honest, this second part was really very ordinary. It was completely right without much consideration for the couplet.
In terms of quality, it should not be as good as the previous example.
Lin Yi laughed in his heart. Ximen liuyan did come out to embarrass herself, but he didn’t understand why she was so proud of it. What was she thinking?
Throwing a brick to guide a Jade?
Did he just throw a brick at himself?
“Although young master Xi men’s second half of the couplet has all five elements, there is a slight discrepancy in the division leader. It is not neat enough, and the order of the five elements is different. There is a slight deficiency in the mood, so it can only get … Six points!”
The palace maid in charge of judging seemed to have a set of mature standards, so she made an appropriate comment as soon as she opened her mouth.
However, she had originally wanted to say that it was below six points. She had given Ximen liuyan a passing score of six points at the last moment because she was concerned about her reputation.
In other words, as long as it was a new pair, and it was not too bad, it should have a passing score of six points to take care of everyone’s face.
A look of disappointment flashed across Ximen liuyan’s eyes. He had always felt lucky and thought that what he had was the best. He did not expect that he would only get 60% in the end.
However, it was already very good to be able to match it. The others might not even be able to match it, so wouldn’t he still win in the end?
“I’m embarrassing myself! Now, it’s up to everyone’s line!”
Ximen liuyan consoled herself, then she smiled and cupped her hands as she retreated. She smiled and looked at the situation, waiting for the others to go up or for no one to go up!
In the end, just as he started to laugh at the situation, the situation on the field had already changed.
Because two people walked out at the same time and started writing couplets.
Ximen liuyan’s smile immediately froze on her face. She was cursing in her heart. Where was the eternal absolute?
There were people trying to match it one after another. Was the difficulty that low?
Soon, both of them had written the second half of the couplet. They put down their brushes and picked up the couplets they had written.
Maple leaves covered the ground in autumn!
The glittering lanterns were shining on Jinxiu city!
Ximen liuyan’s expression turned even uglier. The second half of these two couplets could not be said to be very good, but at least it was not inferior to his!
Just now, he was still thinking that if no one was up against him, he would be able to win without fighting.
Now, it seemed that it was just a thought!
In the end, light shining brocade city and autumn spreading maple all over the ground both got six points.
However, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was done to save Ximen liuyan’s face. In fact, Ximen liuyan’s reply was slightly weaker.
“It’s indeed an eternal absolute. It’s not that easy to match!”
Liu Ziyu couldn’t help but sigh. He had studied this first half before, but he couldn’t stand the second half that he had thought of. Naturally, he wouldn’t use it to embarrass himself.
“Cousin Zhong da, have you thought of a suitable second half?”
Liu Ziyu had no doubt in Lin Yi’s abilities-he couldn’t match it himself, but he believed that Lin Yi could, and so he’d asked the question with a certain tone.
However, before Lin Yi could say anything, Sima Zhongxiao entered the arena!
“Everyone has good words, it’s really enviable. It just so happens that I’ve also gained something, so I’ll take it out together and ask everyone to correct me!”
Sima Zhongxiao first smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, his posture very humble.
Everyone was used to him kneeling and fawning everywhere, so no one wanted to return the favor and just watched him perform coldly.
He didn’t care. After the courtesy, he turned around, picked up the pen, and quickly wrote on a blank piece of paper.
After he finished writing, Sima Zhongxiao didn’t rush to pick up the second half. Instead, he turned around and said with a smile,””I’ve heard that the Dragon state’s conferred kingdoms have city walls to defend against enemies on the sea and are equipped with powerful cannons. This is where I got the inspiration for the second part of the couplet.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the paper was rolled up!
Five bold and powerful characters jumped into everyone’s eyes!
The Zhenhai city gate tower!
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. He didn’t pay much attention when Sima Zhongxiao was writing, but now he knew that this guy actually wrote the second part.
This was a little amazing!
When he scanned the sub island’s books with his spiritual awareness, he was certain that there was no such second part!
In that case, did Sima Zhongxiao really match it himself?
Of course, in the secular world, the second half of “cannon suppressing the sea city Tower” was quite famous. Many people even thought that this second half was the best second half of “smoke locking the Willows over the pond”!
Who would have thought, who would have thought that Sima Zhongxiao would be able to think of this second half!
As for the city walls and cannons along the coastal areas of the conferred kingdoms of the Dragon state, they did indeed exist!
If not for that, Lin Yi would have suspected that Sima Zhongxiao was also from the secular world!
“Good! Young master Sima’s second half is pretty good!”
The palace maid who was in charge of scoring gave a word of praise without any hesitation and then commented,”The same left five lines and order can be said to be extremely neat! And what he said is true, it’s indeed a rare match!”
