And when he proposed a couplet competition, he even called out all the poems in the poem, which was even more unique.

The reason is very simple. The beauty of poetry lies in the artistic conception and spiritual thinking. If compared with poetry, what is competing is the artistic conception and perception.

Although the couplets are known as poems within poems because of their counterpoints, the two men's competition was definitely based on the most bizarre couplets, making it difficult for the other party, so how could they pursue any artistic conception.

In this way, after a few words from Ye Piaoling, the content of the competition seems to have remained unchanged, but the essence has changed.

He does not compete with Xu Yi for artistic conception and perception, but with Xu Yi for talent.

Ye Piaoling is extremely confident in his talent. Moreover, the literary world in Jiangbei, where he was born, has always been famous for its couplets. The number of unique couplets he has collected over the years is quite large, and the quantity is sufficient for this challenge.

Xu Yi thought for a moment, "It's up to you!"

Couplets are not his specialty, but he has a lot of so-called absolutes in his mind. If he picks out some at random, he is already in an invincible position.

Moreover, he was extremely confident in scholar Xu Yi's writing skills. Even if the other party was surprisingly right, he might not be unable to give it a try.

"Refreshing!"

Ye Piaoling smiled with a smile on his face, thinking he had a plan, "In order not to waste everyone's time, you and I will each play a three-coupon. If it's a tie, we will play another three-coupon until the winner is determined. That's great!"

"I told you to listen to what you say!"

Xu Yi smiles with his arms behind his back, his noble demeanor is heartwarming.

"Mr. Xu was so confident that Ye asked Mr. Ye to come out first."

Ye Piaoling said with a trembling voice, he could hardly suppress the excitement deep in his heart.

When he thought that after this battle, Ye Piaoling's name would be resounding throughout Vietnam, fame, fortune, and wealth would be at his fingertips, and he would easily reach the pinnacle of life, he couldn't help but want to shout.

"In this case, Xu will not be polite."

Xu Yi I had a thought and pulled out a couplet, "Aanaananaanyanyanyany..."

"What!"

Ye Piaoling opened his eyes wide, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? Please come out."

Xu Yi said curiously, "Xu Mou of the first couplet has already come out."

"Mr. Xu Don't joke."

Ye Piaoling Su Rong said, "It is important to note that it involves millions of bets, it is not child's play."

"Xu is just kidding. If Brother Ye wants to hear clearly, Xu will say it again."

When the words came out, Ye Piaoling opened his ears wide, but he heard Xu Yi say, "Yanaaaaanyanyanyan..."

Xu Yi Another sack of salt was thrown out.

Ye Piaoling still couldn't help but pick his ears and stared at Xu Yi in surprise. He didn't know whether he was crazy or this Mr. Xu was crazy.

Otherwise, how could such a ridiculous scene occur at such a critical moment?

Not only was Ye Piaoling dumbfounded, but everyone in the audience was confused and looked at each other, really not understanding what this Poet Immortal, Word Sage was talking about.

Suddenly, Prince Pu'an Yi burst into laughter, "Dear Poet Immortal, Word Sage, it's such a standard, it's a shame, let me just say, you're deceiving the world and stealing your reputation. You really are deceiving the world and stealing your reputation. What kind of bullshit couplet is this? It's just a lie!"

Marquis Anqing's face was covered with black lines, and he stared at Xu Yi, as if asking him to explain.

Xu Yi smiled slightly, "Since Brother Ye and everyone else have not understood it, then Xu wrote it down, Lord Marquis, I wonder if I have the pen and ink."

"Yes, yes, come right away!"

Marquis Anqing, which was in a dead state, suddenly activated, jumped three feet high, and shouted to the attendants to get up to Four Treasures of the Study.

In an instant, a team of attendants came forward with a large pile of items. The Kuoda bookcase forged from thousand-year-old rosewood, the snow-white peach blossom paper produced by Chengqintang, the Shenlong ink from Lingdong, the Banquet of Pine Tao from Xianren Mountain, and the gold silk and jade pillar wolf-hair brushes were all arranged in a clear order.

Without Xu Yi's instructions, Yan Zi took the initiative to grind forward. Marquis Anqing, who was a step late, shook his head and smiled bitterly, then pulled back his feet.

The ink is as thick as blooms, and the pen is full of wolf hair. The brush moves like a dragon and a snake, and a row of words appears on the paper like a brush.

As soon as the words appeared, they won applause from the whole house.

"Good calligraphy, good calligraphy, unheard of, it is actually a new style."

"The writing is strong and thin, but it does not lose its meat, and the sharp edge is hidden. It is both strong and beautiful!"

"What kind of calligraphy is this? A certain person is willing to pay a hundred gold to learn about it."

"..."

Xu Yi didn't answer, looked at Ye Piaoling and said, "Brother Ye, please correct me?"

The calligraphy used by Xu Yi on the snowflake paper is the famous Slender Gold Script in later generations. The Xu Yi in the previous life naturally did not have this skill. The Xu Yi in this life is not only Martial Arts is unparalleled. He controls the use of power from the heart. Moreover, Xu Yi, the owner of this body, is deeply immersed in calligraphy. The two worlds are one. It is easy to create the exquisite Slender Gold Script.

But after saying Xu Yi loudly, everyone's attention turned to the beauty of the form of the words and turned to the meaning of the words themselves.

But suddenly I saw a row of words written on the peach blossom paper, "The smoke is along the eaves and the swallow's eyes are smoked!"

Everyone suddenly realized that the bag of cigarettes Mr. Xu had thrown out earlier actually had these words.

"It's difficult, it's too difficult!"

In an instant, such an idea popped into everyone's mind without even thinking about it.

Everyone looked towards Ye Piaoling and saw that Ye Piaoling's fat face was wrinkled into a bitter melon.

"It's hard, damn it's hard, there are such couplets in the world."

Ye Piaoling has thousands of four-hoofed animals stampeding through his heart. With his intelligence, he knew that this kind of couplet could not be figured out just by thinking hard.

Although I'm sorry, Ye Piaoling didn't move or speak.

He was waiting for Xu Yi to finish writing the next two couplets. If he could match the next two couplets, even if the first couplet didn't match, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

Xu Yi seemed to have read through his thoughts, and continued writing without urging. In a flash, two more couplets appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Hosting in a Hakka, staying in the cold and lonely outside the window"

"Tune the piano to a new tune, tune to a new tune, tune to a new tune."

The three couplets bring peace to the world.

Ye Piaoling was trembling, sweating like rain, and his heart had been trampled to pieces by millions of four-hoofed animals in three consecutive waves.

Ye Piaoling raised his head and looked at Xu Yi, his sad eyes seemed to say, "I just want to be right!"

After the triptych came out, Xu Yi put down the pen and stood there, with no sadness or joy in his heart, and loaded it with insights that spanned time and space. This feeling shouldn't be too good.

"Yes, you are right!"

Prince Pu'an Yi kept urging, Ye Piaoling was soaked with sweat, but he didn't dare to pick up the pen at all.

In an instant, Prince Pu'an Yi's broad face turned black, and he said angrily, "It's useless, the outcome has not yet been decided, why are you panicking!"

Ye Piaoling was horrified and said, "Yeah, I'm not lost yet. He has absolutes, and I have absolutes. If I can't stand up to him, he may not be able to stand up to me!"

At this thought, Ye Piaoling became energetic, grabbed the wolf hair, and like a turtle walking around, in an instant, the three upper lines of the couplet, and the three lines of Xu Yi, were spread out in a row.

After finishing the book, he wrote, "Mr. Xu, right? If we have a match, Ye will lose."

Ye Piaoling is extremely confident. This triple linkage was thought up by the scribes from all over Jiangbei, and no one has challenged it for decades.
