Chapter 001: Poetry Contest
Li Yiru looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of him in a daze, and after a short blank in his brain, countless messages quickly poured into his mind.
This is China, a country in a new time and space that highly overlaps with China in many aspects such as economy and culture, but has a certain self-characteristics.
The original owner of this handsome body is called Li Yiru, and his name is the same. Sitting on his right hand side is his high school classmate Ma Jian, a coquettish teenager known as a little genius of Chinese studies. And he didn't know the middle-aged man on the left hand, but seeing that this person was calm and looked forward to the momentum of looking at the world, he seemed to be very dicked?
In this studio, 200 contestants sit neatly, quietly waiting for the audition to begin.
ββThis is the scene of the second stage of the national audition of the "Chinese Poetry Competition"!
......
The hot brain suddenly plummeted to room temperature, and he had fully understood the information of the original owner of this time and space, Li Yiru was shocked and began to doubt life, he almost wailed: Lao Tzu has crossed over?!
Is it so bizarre?
I'm the youngest associate professor in the Faculty of Arts at a prestigious university, and I'm in my early 20s, so why did you make a mistake for me?
Li Yiru suddenly felt that something was not right, and the memory of his previous life seemed to have been deepened!
The last sentence of "the deep hall of the ancient ancestral hall, fragrant cold rain and wind" is "the flowers and the moon are green and the clouds are heavy"! Wow, you can answer the previous sentence immediately without thinking?
"If you love the common people like singing and dancing, the Sui Emperor will be ashamed of himself" This poem comes from Qi Ji's "Look at Jinling Map"! God, I haven't memorized "Look at Jinling Map" at all, but I once glanced at it occasionally.
The hairpin is not muddy, the short is more scratching the head white, the gold is ten thousand to the scholar's house, and the moon is three times in a row! This ...... This...... What's so ......
This is so evil! Du Fu's "Spring Hope" can I still recite it upside down?
This is too unscientific, whose brain can recite poetry backwards! The brain logically does not allow it!
Li Yiru himself was stunned! After all, this is not something that people can do!
He had a bold guess that perhaps the memories of his past life had become permanently stored as information, similar to a computer. When I was just recalling the memories of my past life, it was actually similar to using a computer to retrieve information? This is a new mode of thinking that is completely different from normal human memory?
Li Yiru faintly felt that he seemed to be awesome!
Classmate Ma Jian came over at this time and said very sincerely: "Actually, I really hope that the two of us can work together to break through the audition and represent the school in the main competition." But if that hope really fails, uh......"
Li Yiru turned his head to look at him, confused.
Ma Jian said with some regret: "If your hopes are disappointed, then you must not be discouraged, you must be uplifted and study hard when you go back to school." Don't worry, I will definitely carry your last wish to win the championship trophy for you. β
Li Yiru was dumbfounded, this kid is quite capable of bragging!
Ma Jian was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "It stands to reason that your boy's Chinese grades are indeed very good in the class, but looking at the whole school, your Chinese scores are not too outstanding, how did you manage to be on the same stage as me?"
Li Yiru pondered for a moment: "It starts with character and ends with appearance?"
......
At 10 o'clock in the morning, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the entrance of the studio, but when they saw a shadow pushing the door in, the woman's eyes were gentle, the red workplace dress reflected the skin as white as milk, and the silver diamond-studded high heels stepped lightly on the marble floor, and the voice was not hurried.
"Hello everyone, I am Liu Yiyi, the host of the "Chinese Poetry Competition", and I am very honored to meet you here......"
Liu Yiyi's slender jade hand hung down on Li Yiru's table, but her beautiful eyes glanced at the audience: "All of you here are outstanding players from all walks of life who have worked hard in the field of poetry, congratulations on standing out among nearly 10,000 applicants across the country." Among them are high-achieving students from the Beijing University People's Congress, writers from the Writers' Association, editors-in-chief of publishing houses, and even more than a dozen middle school students.
Ancient poems and clouds "Tonghua Wanlidan Mountain Road, the young phoenix is clear in the sound of the old phoenix", it is necessary for us to introduce the future of Chinese culture.
The beautiful girl No. 76 sitting in the third row on the left is Xia Yuqing, a student from the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress, and she ranked second in the written test!"
The audience applauded!
Liu Yiyi leaned sideways: "This No. 9 contestant is Ma Jian, a student from the 19th Middle School in Beijing, the 9th in the written exam! There are also Zhao Xiaomei from the Liaoxi Province experiment, Cai Zhengkang, a student from the Chinese Attached Middle School outside Shanghai, etc.! β
Li Yiru, who originally looked solemn, suddenly collapsed, and it turned out that he was called "wait"? But also, who let us not stand out, his written test score ranked 188, and if he was a little trembling, he might not be qualified to sit in the same stage with Ma Jian.
"Next, I would like to introduce the legendary player who has left us many beautiful moments in the past four seasons, Dong Jinfu, a doctor of ancient literature from Beijing University!"
Dong Jinfu stood up proudly and waved to the contestants, quite a leader's posture of inspection.
In the applause, Li Yiru whispered, "Who is this person?"
"He's amazing!" Ma Jian's eyebrows danced, "The first season of the poetry contest was the runner-up, the second season was the runner-up, the third season was the runner-up, and the most regrettable thing is that in the fourth season, he was 1 point short of losing to Shen Zhilei, the runner-up!
"The second thousand-year-old!" Li Yiru muttered quietly.
Liu Yiyi glanced at Li Yiru with a smile, then picked up the hand card and began to announce the rules of the final round of the audition: "Today, we will have two rounds of elimination, the first round of elimination [Poetry Reorganization]. Of the 200 players present, 170 will be eliminated in this round. β
There was a buzz on the scene:
"Oh my God, the elimination rate is too high, right?"
"It's basically 10 into 1!"
"It's cruel!"
"This is a contest between you and me, everyone dies! What is it called, what is it called, let's just call it "Everyone Comes to Find Death"!"
......
"Don't look at me like this!" Li Yiru scolded, and at this time Ma Jian was silently and looking at himself with a sympathetic expression.
[Poetry Reorganization] This competition project, the rules seem very simple, that is, a few unrelated poems are completely disassembled, and then the words are randomly arranged. Contestants have to restore the verses from the "font bank".
For example, the two sentences "leaving the grass on the plain" and "no one is seen in the empty mountain" will become the title "people are not separated from the grass mountain in the sky" after scrambling the order, and the contestants will accurately restore the two poems to OK.
There are five questions in total, and the contestants need to answer all five questions correctly and take the short time to advance.
Liu Yiyi looked serious: "This question is limited to 30 minutes! Players who complete the question during the competition, please leave the arena silently and rest in the lounge." If there are any contestants who give up answering in the middle of the process, please leave silently, and there is no need to ask for instructions. Okay, the referee enters, and the game begins!"
