This king was also a good young man in his previous life. Can a mere couplet defeat me
Su Yu smiled casually, slowly put down the cup in his hand, stood up, and said: "The fog locks the top of the mountain and the mountain locks the fog. I will face you - the sky is connected to the water, and the tail water is connected to the sky."
"That's right!"
"King Su is so right!"
This sentence is also a palindrome, and it fits perfectly. It immediately attracted countless cheers and thunderous applause.
Ning Changge's face darkened slightly, and he looked straight at Su Yu.
"It's just a couplet, why should Brother Ning be so persistent? Why not come to my Dawang Mountain as a guest?" Su Yu smiled nonchalantly.
As a senior disciple of the Confucian Academy, Ning Changge naturally valued his wife very highly. Seeing Su Yu being so casual, he couldn't help but feel angry. He couldn't help but say: "Weak little scholar, he doesn't know the three generations of Xia, Shang and Zhou."
Su Yu chuckled and didn't take it seriously. He said, "A handsome and talented man can only read four poems about elegance."
Everyone in the inner hall fell silent and looked at the two of them quietly. This tense atmosphere was no worse than a martial arts duel.
Seeing that Su Yu was really capable, Ning Changge gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression: "If there are insects in the water, it will be turbid. If there are fish in the water, it will be fishy. Water, water, water, rivers and lakes."
Su Yu raised his brows and opened his mouth: "Below the tree is the root, above the tree is the end. The trees are full of pines, cypresses and camphors."
Wow—
The whole place was in uproar again.
"So fast? And there's no problem with it being right!"
"Today is really an eye-opener. What kind of place is Dawang Mountain? King Su is so amazing!"
"The high-ranking disciple of the Confucian Academy of Sciences, the couplets he produced are simply unbelievable. I just finished listening to them and didn't even have any ideas. King Su actually got them right. It's amazing!"
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the masters are among the people..."
…
Everyone has turned their attention to Su Yu. After today, the name of Dawang Mountain, Su Dawang, is destined to be remembered by people.
Two consecutive lines were solved by Su Yu one after another. Ning Changge was unwilling to accept it. He walked back and forth for a few steps and came up with the line that he thought was the most difficult to break: "Fish leaps over the dragon gate, goes up to the sky, looks at the hazy moon in the sky." !”
At this link, everyone in the audience was secretly shocked.
"This couplet is so difficult! It's so difficult..."
"Heaven, heaven! Leap over the dragon gate, hazy moon (men dragon leap)! Double palindrome! This is impossible to match!"
"This couplet is truly amazing!"
"I don't believe anyone in the world can understand it!"
…
Everyone was stunned by this couplet, and even after emptying their heads, they couldn't think of the second couplet. Yang Zhiyun also turned pale and looked worriedly at Su Yu, who was pondering aside.
"King Su, to be honest, this couplet is absolute. No one in us at the Confucian Academy of Sciences can compete with us. Although we cannot win with force, for the honor of the Confucian Academy, I cannot lose! In this first round, we How about a draw?" Ning Changge looked at Su Yu and said slowly.
"Absolutely! Absolutely!"
"The Confucian Academy has taken out all the stuff from the lower box..."
"This Ning Yunfei is worthy of being a member of the Confucian Academy, and he does things openly and aboveboard."
…
Everyone felt relieved. Since no one in the Confucian Academy of Sciences could answer the question, I'm afraid no one in the world could answer it. There was no suspense at all. Let's look at the second round, where Su Yu would pose the question.
N-Ma! Come up with an absolute trick to deceive the king, and still want to draw in the end? This king will not agree!
Su Yu's thoughts turned quickly, he raised his eyes to look at the bright moonlight in the sky, and said leisurely: "The monk clouds are colorless, enter the dream, and watch the five-color clouds in the dream!"
this…
"Snapped!"
Someone's water glass fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, but no one noticed it.
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened, and the whole place was silent except for the rapid breathing of everyone.
Fish leap over the dragon gate, go up to the sky, and look at the hazy moon in the sky!
The monk's cloud is colorless, and when he enters the dream, he observes the dream and sees the clouds of five colors!
To be precise, the pairing is not neat, and it is a bit tricky. The hazy moon is always next to the word "月", but it cannot be said that the second couplet is wrong.
After all, it is absolute, and it is good to be able to get it right.
"Great talent, great talent!"
After a short silence, everyone involuntarily let out an exclamation.
Ning Changge stood on the spot, then let out a long sigh, clasped his fists and said: "King Su is really good at literary talent, Ning admires him very much. I lost this first round. You have unlocked the eternal absolute of our Confucian Academy. , if you are free in the future, please come to my Confucian Academy as a guest, I will sweep the bed to treat you!"
After all, Ning Changge is a scholar and has his own integrity. If he loses, he loses, and he is aboveboard.
After listening to Ning Changge's words, everyone's eyes were full of envy. The Scholars were all high-minded intellectuals who were not friendly to outsiders and rarely invited people to join the Scholars. Su Yu could make friends with the Scholars People are really lucky.
Bai Xiaolong followed Su Yu, his whole body trembling with excitement, his head held high and his chest high, looking extremely proud.
Cool! So cool! Even if you are just a follower next to the king, you will be so awesome and steal the show.
"Brother Ning, you're welcome. I'm just trying to take advantage." Su Yu accepted it and said modestly.
"The first round is over. In this second round, please ask King Su to come up with a question." Ning Changge said, his face full of seriousness, as if he was facing a life and death enemy.
Su Yu nodded, without being polite, and said directly: "Sit north to south and eat watermelon, with the skin facing east."
This couplet does not sound elegant, and it seems extremely simple at first, but after careful reflection, I found that it is actually difficult to interpret.
"This couplet... is interesting..."
"This couplet is wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! It is close to life, and it is simple and easy to understand, but it is not simple at all."
"This King Su is really beyond everyone's expectations. He is great at breaking up alliances, and he is even better at breaking up alliances!"
…
After just thinking for a moment, cold sweat appeared on Ning Changge's forehead. He kept pacing from side to side with chaotic steps. Anyone could see that he was extremely uneasy in his heart.
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"
He didn't bother to wipe the sweat on his forehead, he loosened and clenched his fists, then clenched and loosened them again. He was immersed in this couplet with his whole body and mind, and his mind went blank.
I spent twenty years studying sages’ books in vain, and in the end, I couldn’t even understand such a vulgar couplet...
The master is indeed right. I still lack experience. The outside world is too big...
a long time.
He paused, took a deep breath, and bowed to Su Yu Yingying, "King Su's advice today is like an enlightenment, which has benefited Ning a lot. Please accept my bow."
"I lost...I am convinced!" After saying that, he returned directly to the Wolf Prince.
The Canglang Prince clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. What's done is wonderful, and what's right is even more wonderful. I didn't expect that there is such a strange person like King Su in Dongzhou County. It's really an eye-opener for me. When I wait, If you have time, you must go to Dawang Mountain. ”
