Chapter 389 387. I'm so scared that I can't even hold the pen! Who else?

this moment!

  The audience was still extremely silent.

  It can make an academic exchange meeting with thousands of people present so silent, basically everyone present has never seen or experienced it, and this is almost their first time.

  Of course, it was the first time in their life that Wang Cheng ignored his opponents so much.

  They have seen face-to-face spraying, and even face-to-face academic exchange meetings.

  However, they have never seen someone who completely ignores their opponents like this and leaves them speechless.

And people like Qin Yuhai, Shen Shenghui, Yu Jinghong, Zhang Huizhong, Li Guang, Liu Jiahui, Xie Xingfeng, etc. who were ignored by Wang Cheng again and again, or who were rejected by Wang Cheng time and time again, at this moment have a kind of refreshing impulse, More or less revealed some smiles.

finally…

   There were other people who were tortured by Wang Cheng in this way, and in front of so many people. If it was them, they would have left the scene without saying a word.

  Everyone at the scene could hear the grief and indignation in Yihetaro's voice: "Come again!"

   "Wang Cheng, I admit that Yuji Nakamura and I have lost to you in both ancient and modern poetry! But let's compare couplets again, do you dare?"

  Yihetaro's face was flushed and his eyes were burning with anger. People who didn't know thought he was engaged in a samurai duel.

  Couple?

   That is, couplets?

  All the audience who stood and kept quiet at the scene were stunned.

  Because, couplets, in the eyes of all the big names in the literary world, are after all small ways, not as mainstream as poetry and calligraphy.

  However, they also know that all the great writers in ancient times were masters of couplets.

Because, after all, what the couplets pay attention to is the writing skills, and the ancient great writers who can write eternal masterpieces have long been proficient in the study of writing, and they can write couplets at their fingertips, but they don't bother to waste time and energy. These, just occasionally write a sentence or two to adjust the mood, and it has become a good story through the ages.

  In modern times...

   There are almost no people who can write excellent ancient poems, and the research on couplets is naturally not as deep as that of ancient literati.

   Especially since modern poetry became popular.

  Because modern poetry pays more attention to artistic conception and thought, not to the text itself.

  Therefore, many big names in the literary world at the scene are very familiar with the couplets, and can tell whether the couplets are good or bad, after all, they have their eyes on them.

  But let them write some good couplets, they are completely blind for a while.

   Xing Tongshu said in a low voice: "It seems that the islanders like to study these trails. It is said that their royal family also held a couplet contest, and that Prince Xuezi won the championship."

Zhang Guobin nodded and said: "That's true. However, our Capital University and Shuimu University also have some associations that study couplets. They have also held internal competitions and produced many good couplet works, but the attention from the outside world is relatively low. Unfortunately, that I did not bring a few students who are good at couplets, otherwise I would let them play, and I would definitely not lose to that Xuezi!"

  Zhang Guobin's tone is very confident.

   After all, the Chinese Department of Capital University ranks first in the country, and some of its internal associations, such as Tang poetry, Song poetry, novels, couplets, etc., have many good works.

They want to invite Wang Cheng to give lectures and exchanges. In fact, the biggest reason is to catch a wave of enthusiasm, to promote these good works of Jingcheng University, as well as outstanding and talented students, so as to improve the status of Jingcheng University in China again. and influence.

  If Wang Cheng was purely talented and powerful, but not famous, maybe Capital University would not have sent an invitation. Of course, other universities might not have such a warm invitation.

  The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit!

  On the podium, Wang Cheng still looked at Yi Hetaro with a calm expression. After hearing the other party's request, he was too lazy to speak, but just stretched out his hand and made a gesture of asking, indicating that you can write...

  This is the couplet. If it was another form of work, Wang Cheng would not bother to read what the other party wrote, so he just left his work and left.

  The works of the other party are not worth his time and energy to look at.

  However, couplets are different.

  If you want to make the other party lose nothing to say, you have to wait for the other party to write down the couplet, and then you have to write it down neatly, so that the other party has nothing to say.

   Otherwise, just write a couplet by yourself, even if the other party can’t get it right, they will say that Wang Cheng, you didn’t match up with their couplet, so it’s a tie at best...

   Such gossips are countless in China's thousand-year literary history.

  The literati open their mouths, you say yours, I say mine!

   Therefore, Wang Cheng wants to make the other party have nothing to say.

  You write it...

  Yi Hetaro hesitated again, still not used to Wang Cheng's indifferent and decisive style, looked at Wang Cheng, took a deep breath, without hesitation, directly picked up a pen and wrote it down on the white paper.

   It is still his cursive calligraphy that has entered the hall.

  Before, many audiences thought that Yihetaro's cursive calligraphy was very good, and Yihetaro himself was proud of it.

   But looking at the calligraphy characters written by Yi Hetaro at this time, they seem so ordinary and plain, and there is no comparison with the cursive calligraphy written by Wang Cheng just now.

  Even Yihetaro himself thought the same way, so he didn't mean to show off his calligraphy, but just wanted to quickly write the couplets he had prepared in advance.

  Beside Zhang Yiheng still did not leave the podium, just stood behind Wang Cheng so cheekily, kept quiet, and did not disturb Wang Cheng and Yi Hetaro.

  The words written by Yihetaro were clearly projected and displayed in front of everyone.

   Soon, I wrote an upper couplet.

   Do not come to the thief, come to the Taoist!

   A few simple words.

  However, there are still many people behind the scene who do not understand cursive calligraphy and do not know the entire Shanglian.

  For example, Zheng Gan didn't know a few of the characters, and many others didn't.

  So, the host read softly: "The first couplet is, don't come to the thief, come to the Taoist!"

  Many people in the literary circles under the stage frowned and thought.

Lin Nianxiang murmured in a low voice: "The thief and the Taoist have the same pronunciation. The thief is not coming. The Taoist is coming. There is some ridicule! This Shanglian has put a lot of thought into it, and it may be that they are specifically targeting this time in Huaxia. I thought about the trip."

Lin Bing also nodded and said: "Yes, to fight this Shanglian, not only must you fight neatly, but the most important thing is to fight back the irony in this Shanglian, otherwise, even if it is literally neat, it will actually lose a bit. I didn't have a clue for a while..."

  Lin Nianxiang also shook his head: "If you give me a few days, I should be able to match, but now such a short time, I have no idea! Look at Wang Cheng!"

Xing Tongshu, who was not far away, also said: "Yi Hetaro and the others are all prepared. This Shanglian may have been planned by him a few years in advance. Now it is really too strong for Wang Cheng to confront him on the spot! Even the great writers of ancient times dare not say that they can match on the spot."

  Zhang Guobin nodded: "Well, this is a bit difficult!"

He has participated in some club activities in the Capital University, and has also seen the on-site couplet competitions of the couplet club. He knows the difficulty of Yi Hetaro's online couplets. He looked at Wang Cheng with some worry in his eyes.

   Lu Zhen, Jia Qian, Nakamura Yuji and others over there also showed a smug smile when they saw the first couplet written by Yi Hetaro.

Nakamura Yuji said in a low voice: "This Shanglian was accidentally thought of by Mr. Yihe when we were chatting with me last year. I haven't thought of a perfect Xialian until now. It is not enough to just write neatly, but also to respond to the inner meaning of the Shanglian. !"

  Yueko thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and had an idea in her mind, but as Yuji Nakamura said, it is not enough to just write neatly, but also to respond to the hint of irony contained in this couplet.

but…

  The next moment, Yukiko, Nakamura Yuji, Lu Zhen, Jia Qian and others all stared wide-eyed.

  Lin Nianxiang, Lin Bing, Mr. Han, Zhang Guobin, Xing Tongshu and others also stared wide-eyed.

  Everyone looked at the podium together...

because!

  After Yi Hetaro put down his pen and the host just finished reading the first couplet, Wang Cheng directly picked up his brush and began to write on the white paper.

  Everyone at the scene was shocked.

  Professor Li Qing beside Zhang Guobin exclaimed in a low voice: "He has a couplet so soon? Don't just focus on the words and pursue the neatness of the words, otherwise you will lose the artistic conception."

  Zhang Guobin also looked at Wang Cheng with worried eyes, afraid that Wang Cheng would only think of the literal neatness and lose the inner artistic conception. Even if he matched on the surface, he still lost in the inside, and he would definitely be ridiculed by the other party afterwards.

   Behind Han Xiao, Lin Mi, An Keru, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi and others also showed concern.

  However, afterward, everyone stared closely at the words written by Wang Cheng!

  It is also cursive calligraphy, but it is several grades higher than what Yi Hetaro wrote just now. Every word is like art, or a painting, which is extremely pleasing to the eye!

  It was only a few words, but Wang Cheng finished it in a few seconds.

  Everyone quickly looked over...

   Under Zhang Yiheng's gesture, the host immediately read out: "Idlers are not allowed to enter, and sages are allowed to enter!"

  After the host finished reading, Zhang Yiheng couldn't help saying a good word beside him!

  Many people in the audience who were still worried just now also smiled and were surprised, and they all applauded.

   "That's right!"

"Perfect!"

   "It's amazing to have such a perfect match in a few seconds."

   "Awesome!"

   "I'm still thinking, they are a perfect match."

   "I really want to see what's going on in Wang Cheng's mind, why is he so awesome?"

   "Too awesome!"

   "Haha, idlers are not allowed to enter, sages are allowed to enter! Perfect..."

   There was a lot of noise from the audience.

  Lin Nianxiang, Zhang Guobin, Xing Tongshu, Li Qing, Mr. Han and others could not help but say hello.

  Zhang Guobin's eyes were full of admiration and surprise: "No one can match your quick wit! It's really amazing. If Wang Cheng is a student of our school, then I will die without regret."

  Li Qing said with a smile: "If Wang Cheng is my student, I will be satisfied in this life!"

As for Lu Zhen, Jia Qian, and Nakamura Yuu, they all looked shocked. They didn't expect that Wang Cheng would be so fast. It only took a few seconds to match up so perfectly. A perfect counterattack to the Shanglian, without losing the wind in the slightest!

  However, although they are literally evenly matched, it took Yihetaro a year to think about this upper line, while Wang Cheng matched it perfectly and neatly in just a few seconds. The gap between them is immeasurable.

  So, Yi Hetaro, Nakamura Yuji and the others' aura instantly languished, and a trace of panic appeared in their eyes!

  Yi Hetaro looked at the cursive script written by Wang Cheng like a work of art, and took a step back in shock, looked at the words in amazement, and then looked at Wang Cheng.

  If it wasn't written by him himself, he would wonder if Wang Cheng stole the question?

   Otherwise, why did you write such a perfect and neat second line in a few seconds?

  Wang Cheng looked at Yi Hetaro calmly, without the slightest complacency, as if it was just an ordinary thing, and gently stretched out his hand again, making a gesture of invitation, motioning to continue writing!

  The noise at the scene also quickly calmed down.

they know!

   This competition is not over yet.

Yihe Taro's complexion was pale, and he gritted his teeth. Of course, he didn't admit defeat. He went up to pick up his writing brush and wrote down his first couplet again. Because he was too emotional, the hand holding the pen trembled a little, which caused him The calligraphy fonts written are not as smooth as before.

  The audience carefully watched every word written by Yihe Taro.

  The host also immediately followed up and said: "If there is less water and sand, it will appear!"

   It's another upper line!

  The host is still thinking about the mystery of this Shanglian.

  Many audiences in the audience were just thinking about it...

  Everyone suddenly widened their eyes again.

  Because, Wang Cheng also started to write directly at this time.

  The host also quickly read out: "It is the earth embankment that will make it!"

   After finishing writing, Wang Cheng still didn't say a word, but calmly stretched out his hand to Yi Hetaro who was still holding a brush in a daze, indicating to continue!

  Yihetaro held the brush, looked at the second couplet written by Wang Cheng in less than a second, perfectly and neatly matched his first couplet, and his mind went blank for a while!

Zhang Yiheng next to him, and everyone in the audience, Lu Zhen, Jia Qian, Nakamura Yuji, Xuezi, Lin Nianxiang, Lin Bing, Xing Tongshu, Zhang Guobin, Li Qing, etc., all became extremely silent again. Both eyes looked at Wang Cheng in shock and astonishment.

   They've just read it, and while they're thinking...

  Wang Cheng just picked up a pen and wrote a neat second couplet?

  Can you believe it?

  Many people in the literary world at the scene had studied the couplets, and at this moment they were even more bewildered, even more inconceivable.

Most people only understand the mystery of this couplet after reading Wang Cheng’s second couplet compared with Yi Hetaro’s first couplet, which is that Shaohe water turns into sand, and Hetu turns into embankment. In just a few words, It's full of mysteries and confrontations!

  Yihetaro was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses, looked at Wang Cheng's calm eyes as if he was looking at a stone looking at himself, and immediately gritted his teeth again, still refused to admit defeat, and started to write directly.

  The host also blushed slightly with excitement, and immediately read following Yi Hetaro's pen: "Silkworms are the world's worms!"

   And when the host looked at Wang Cheng, he found that Wang Cheng had already started to write. After being stunned again, he immediately read: "Hong is a bird by the river!"

   Another neat and perfect second line written in less than a second!

   Whooping whooping...

Yihe Taro's breathing became extremely short, like a bellows, and his eyes were still full of disbelief and shock, because this was his inventory for the past one or two years. He wanted to wait for the opportunity to hit the Chinese literati, or look for an opportunity Challenge Xuezi for a chance to get Xuezi's attention.

did not expect…

  It took only a few seconds for Wang Cheng to perfectly match the couplet he had prepared for so long.

  Leaving him speechless.

  Although he still has several upper-links of similar level in his mind.

but…

  His hand holding the brush began to tremble.

  He couldn't write anymore.

   Or so to speak.

  He dare not write anymore...

  He was afraid.

  He was afraid that no matter what he wrote, Wang Cheng would get it right in a second.

  Then besides continuing to lose face, what is the point of him being here?

Snapped!

  Yihetaro trembled in his heart, and his hand trembled too. He lost his grip on the brush and dropped it on the table with a crisp sound.

   This crisp sound also broke the extremely silent scene.

  All the audience came back to their senses, and their eyes looked at the calm and tall figure standing there like a mountain on the podium with incredible and shocking eyes.

   "Awesome!"

  Even the old scholar Lin Nianxiang didn't know how to describe his feelings and the person on the stage at this time, so he could only hold back two words, which were words he had never used before, because they were degrading.

   But now, he can only say this word to express his mood for a while, and he is full of economics, but he can't express it.

  The old man Han next to him, as well as Xing Tongshu, Zhang Guobin, Li Qing and other bigwigs in the circle also nodded in agreement, agreeing with Lin Nianxiang's words.

At this time, they looked at Wang Cheng's second couplet, and then compared Yi Hetaro's first couplet, and they could quickly see the mystery of this upper and lower couplet. You have to think about it before you can see the mystery, and then you have to come up with a neat second line, which is definitely not something that can be done in a while.

  Even several literary figures who were good at couplets at the scene shook their heads. They felt that it would take at least a few minutes, or even half an hour or an hour, to come up with such a neat couplet.

  Like Wang Cheng, after just one glance, he can directly pick up a pen and write a neat and perfect second line in less than a second!

  This is not so exaggerated even among the eternal stories about couplets left by ancient writers...

  Even Lu Zhen, Jia Qian, Nakamura Yuji and other teachers and students from the island country who had a deep prejudice against Wang Cheng were full of shock and a little bit of horror when they looked at Wang Cheng at this moment!

  With such an opponent, how can they defeat them?

  Yihe Taro was hit so hard that he couldn’t even hold a brush...

  Wang Cheng also ignored Yi Hetaro at this moment, looked at Lu Zhen and Jia Qian and his group, and said three words lightly with the familiar calm tone: "Who else?"
