Chapter 111: It’s hard to match the beauty with the beauty!
Chapter 111: It’s hard to match the beauty with the beauty!
Luo Qianfan looked at Li Desheng with a frown, his brows full of blame.
Li Desheng took a deep breath and complained, "Bailiang, why are you talking so much nonsense to the top scholar?"
"Don't argue with him, defeat him with your strengths!"
Li Desheng was also very angry and didn't care about the face of the Etiquette Academy.
Defeat Chen Changan and make Hu College famous!
Tong Bailiang's eyes narrowed and he took out a couplet: "Master Chen, listen carefully."
"Every inch of land is a temple, and next to the temple is a poem, which says: Tomorrow I will send the monk back to the ancient temple!"
When this couplet came out, all the students in the Imperial College shook their heads.
Tong Bailiang finally showed his true abilities. Let's see how Chen Changan responds.
"That's it?"
Chen Changan concentrated and waited for a long while, then shook his head and said, "Look at my 'Two trees make a forest, and under the forest is a prohibition, which says: Axe and saw must be used in due time'!"
Every word Chen Changan spoke was clear and could be heard from far away.
The emperor's eyes lit up, and Zhu Zigeng's was even more so, his lips almost stretched to his cheeks.
Chen Zhan couldn't help but nodded.
It's really capable! Hanzi is really capable. He can solve this extremely difficult couplet in a short time.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, there is no way I can lose to you!"
Tong Bailiang then realized that Chen Changan was not easy to deal with, and he roared in a low voice: "I have been dabbling in various schools of thought since I was a child, and I have a deep interest in Buddhism."
"Listen carefully, this couplet is very long. It was inspired by Tong while he was practicing in the temple."
"The sound of wind, water, insects, birds, Buddhist chants, and the sound of bells ringing for 360 days, there is no silence!"
Tong Bailiang's eyes were red with anger, and everyone was speechless in shock.
There were various sounds in front of me, which were nothing special at first. But in the face of Buddhism, all the sounds disappeared!
Buddha emphasizes that nirvana is happiness, and great sound is silent!
You are worthy of being a top student of Hu College!
The students from the School of Etiquette closed their eyes, while those from the School of Engineering shook their heads slightly and sighed softly.
The teaching in Da Chu actually focuses on Confucian classics. Chen Changan has never been a monk, so how could he say this?
This round, there is an 80% chance that we will lose.
Tong Bailiang felt that he was doing well again, and sneered, "Chen Changan, isn't he the top scholar? Isn't he very talented? Isn't your poem a classic of the royal family?"
"Come on, let me see, you are right, you are right!"
"In terms of couplets, I thought that the untouchables were so presumptuous. How dare you!"
Tong Bailiang thought he had won and laughed loudly.
Xiang Yingyu couldn't bear it any longer, and said through gritted teeth: "Tong Bailiang, don't deliberately disturb Chen Changan's thoughts!"
"You use such despicable means. Even if you win, you are still more despicable than him!"
Tong Bailiang stopped talking immediately, his face flushed red.
This time, even the emperor didn't say anything.
The emperor looked at Chen Changan worriedly and laughed, "Mr. Chen, it's okay if you can't answer. Don't you still have a chance to ask questions?"
Chen Changan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I can answer this couplet."
"Oh?"
The emperor couldn't believe it, and everyone looked at Chen Changan strangely.
In his previous life, Chen Fusheng rebelled and Chen Changan was chased into the mountains. A temple appeared in front of him, which was the Dabei Temple.
This couplet was hung at the entrance of Dabei Temple. Thinking of the guidance given to him by the abbot Master Miaoxing, Chen Changan was a little dazed.
"The sound of wind, water, insects, birds, Buddhist chants, and the sound of bells ringing for 360 days, there is no silence without sound."
"It's a good couplet, but it's not yours. It's copied."
"I vaguely remember the second line: the color of the moon, the color of the mountains, the color of the grass, the color of the trees, the color of the clouds, and the color of the 48,000-foot peaks. All colors are empty!"
Chen Changan clearly said the second line, and the scene fell silent!
There is nothing much to say about the other parts. The beauty of this couplet lies in the last four words.
All color is empty.
Although Da Chu does not practice Buddhism, who has not heard of "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form?"
Buddhism is extremely neat and tidy.
Before others could exclaim, Tong Bailiang took two steps back and looked at Chen Changan in horror.
"You, you, you have also been to Dabei Temple?"
Chen Changan shrugged: "What do you think?"
"This……"
Tong Bailiang was really speechless.
Once when he was exploring in the mountains, he slipped and fell off a cliff. He was rescued by monks from Dabei Temple and saw this couplet at the door.
After searching for several times, he still couldn't find it. He thought that was the Peach Blossom Spring!
I didn’t expect that Chen Changan had also been there!
For a moment, Tong Bailiang lost all his strength and lowered his head to admit defeat.
But at this moment, a voice came from the Household College, saying in a low voice: "Brother Jiu, Jiu, you can match all four links, can I add one for you?"
King Huainan was startled, and the person who spoke was Chen Fusheng.
Chen Changan frowned and looked up.
Chen Fusheng was wearing the uniform of a student from the Imperial College, followed by Chen Hongluo, Chen Qingwan and others. He looked at Chen Changan with a guilty look on his face.
Chen Changan just sneered: "Who is your ninth brother?"
"Chen Fusheng, you are not a student of the Household College. How come the number one Civil Service College is also going to have a couplet competition?"
Chen Qingwan held her eleventh brother in her arms and shook her head, saying, "Of course not!"
"The Civil Service College will definitely not compete in couplets. My eleventh brother is the runner-up in the imperial examination and has to take courses from the four major colleges. How can a profit-seeking businessman like you understand that?"
"He will represent Hu College and compete with you in this final couplet!"
Li Desheng nodded repeatedly.
Tong Bailiang is not able to do it today, but Chen Fusheng is the son of King Huainan, how can he not have talent?
Maybe this is the key to his turning defeat into victory.
Li Desheng immediately clasped his fists towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what Chen Qingwan said is true. The prince did choose to study at the Civil Service, Household, Criminal, and Military Academy."
"Let him represent the Household College and write another couplet, which is in accordance with the rules of the Imperial College."
The emperor frowned, he felt annoyed.
The questions were all set by the Household Department College, so is the School of Engineering still allowed to fight back?
But he was also concerned about the golden face of King Huainan.
In the end, he could only nod and wave his hand, saying, "Then let the runner-up go and test the quality of the champion."
"However, I have made it clear in advance that this is the last chance for Hu College."
Li Desheng thanked the emperor for his kindness and said expectantly: "My prince, please make a good couplet and don't bring shame to the Household Academy. Don't..."
"…It brings shame to the King of Huainan!"
Double pressure is given to Chen Fusheng!
The students of the Imperial College became interested again, licking their lips and waiting for Chen Fusheng to come up with a couplet.
The new runner-up versus the new number one!
Who is stronger and who is weaker?
Chen Fusheng took a deep breath and looked at Chen Changan with a gloomy gaze: "Ninth Brother, I read this couplet in the classics, and it only has two words."
"It's difficult to be sexy, are you trying to pair up?"
Chen Changan sneered, while the other students were furious!
The longer the couplet, the harder it is to write. I thought Chen Fusheng would come up with a very long couplet, but I didn't expect it to only have two words!
Color is difficult!
That’s very good!
"What's going on? Is this prince here to make fun of me?"
"I heard that the top scholar is also the prince of Huainan. Does the runner-up support my brother?"
"No, Chen Fusheng still shoulders the expectations of Hu College!"
……
Chen Changan had no expression on his face, he just raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Chen Fusheng, are you deliberately giving in to me?"
"Se refers to the complexion, and I mean rong, appearance."
"If it's difficult, I'll take the easy way!"
"It's hard to be lustful, but easy to be lustful, what do you have to say?"
All the students nodded. It was easy, wasn’t it?
Chen Fusheng looked delighted and said excitedly, "Brother Jiu, this couplet is not that simple."
“…You lose!”
