School Square.

The women of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles called him.

"Hey, Teacher Zhang Ye, where are you?"

"I've come in, here in the preliminaries. ”

"Well, why didn't I see you? Which one is you?"

"Are you wearing a long white dress? I see you. ”

She was the only one who called, Zhang Ye looked for it, and sure enough, it was the woman from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, "Hello."

The woman put down her mobile phone and handed him a participation card, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, the personnel over there were negligent and missed, and now I have found it, you hurry up and participate, you don't need to register, just answer the question directly, well, I still have something to do over there, go first." ”

"Thank you. Zhang Ye watched her.

Hu Fei, who was not far away, greeted him, "Got it?"

Zhang Ye hummed, and then went over to look at the preliminaries.

There are three question boards in front, ten meters apart from the open, there are a lot of people in front of each question board, there are contestants inside, there are also spectators watching the excitement, of course, there are not many contestants at the moment, many people have passed the preliminaries after answering the questions, and have entered the auditorium, and the rest are only a few dozen people who are still answering the questions, they are meditating the question boards, and the questions seem to be not easy.

Standing next to it are the rules of the preliminaries:

1. Participants are requested to answer the questions in accordance with the specifications.

2: The judges will only pass after they are qualified.

3. There are only 50 questions, and the maximum number of places to pass the preliminaries is not more than 50.

Xiao Lu shouted: "It's only 50 questions? Isn't there a 100 people participating in the competition this time? It means that half of the people have to be eliminated? It's too cruel."

Brother Hou said anxiously: "There is not enough time"

Brother Hou also pointed to the question board and said: "There are still two questions left on this question board, ah, that question board is full, all of them have been answered, and there is only one question left on the third question board."

There are still three questions, and there are more than 20 contestants left to answer

The remaining contestants felt that they could not answer, and had already walked to the audience to watch, and automatically abstained.

"Hurry up, let's look at the topic quickly, hurry up," Xiao Lu said hurriedly.

Fifty questions are all couplets, four-word, five-word, seven-word, without exception all are uplink, the rules are very simple, there are a lot of inkstones and brushes in front of the board, as long as the contestants write the answer on the bottom of the corresponding uplink, the battle is neat, the artistic conception is in line, even if it passes, the jury of the three Literary and Art Associations next to it makes an authoritative judgment. The judges are three old comrades who are not too old, two little old men, and a little old lady, although Zhang Ye doesn't know him, but seeing that those contestants seem to have more respect for a few people, he knows that they are all authoritative in the industry, at least they should be the leaders in the field of couplets.

After calming down, Zhang Ye began to read the question.

Three......

Five......

Zhang Ye simply swept around, and found that the couplets in this world are the same as the forms of his world, heaven and earth, rain and wind, and the continent and the sky, there is no difference, but he has seen some but has never seen them, many couplets do not exist in Zhang Ye's world, maybe Zhang Ye is lonely and unheard, or he has forgotten, after all, he has not studied the couplet culture much.

Let's take a memory search capsule first

Zhang Ye opened the game ring and looked at his prestige, yesterday with the help of that public service advertisement, his total prestige rose slowly, and it was not fast, after two days and one night, it finally reached 100,000 points, Zhang Ye clicked on the mall to buy a memory search capsule and swallowed it in one gulp.

Memories flicker.

Under the guidance of Zhang Ye's thinking, time returned to the 2ll years of his world.

At that time, Zhang Ye had just entered college, and he wanted to become famous with all his minds, and he had a very subjective sense of absorbing all information. At first, he didn't find the book he wanted to read, so he looked for a needle in a haystack and flipped through it, and ended up with a couplet and a famous couplet next to it.

Both books are not thick.

One page, ten pages, one hundred pages.

Five minutes were up.

Memory search time ends.

Zhang Ye slowly opened his eyes, he originally looked through them unintentionally and hastily, but now he let the memory search consolidate this latent memory, and Zhang Ye remembered every couplet clearly

Immediately, he looked at the fifty questions again

What is in the clouds?

I don't know

I've never seen it

I've seen a lot, but none of them are Zhang Ye's works that have appeared in the world of the world, and he has no idea where to start, but just when he thought that the couplets of the world world did not cross with him at all, a couplet appeared in front of him, and then the second and third

There really is, there is someone he knows

It's exactly the same as the couplet of his worldly realm

For example, in question 41, the upper link is: two, three, four, five.

I don't know who has come out of the next link, and the next link is: six, seven, eight and nine.

This couplet looks a little silly, and it is also a little inexplicable, in fact, there is a mystery hidden in it, in the memory that Zhang Ye just searched, the couplet analysis recorded this couplet, in professional terms, this is a hidden word couplet. Two, three, four, and five are what to do for six, seven, eight, and nine? Because there is a lack of one in two, three, four, and five, it is also called a lack of clothing, and a lack of ten in six, seven, eight, and nine is also called a lack of food. Lack of food and clothing - this is the hidden word couplet.

This discovery made Zhang Ye very happy, and he observed it as a whole, although the number of couplets he had in the world only accounted for 20% or 30% of the 50 songs, but this was enough to make Zhang Ye happy, indicating that he still had a chance, indicating that there are still works intersecting between the two worlds, and there are still a lot of crossovers. In fact, if you think about it, it's all similar history, and some historical figures are the same, even if they have been modified by the game ring, the overall trend of the couplet culture should not deviate too much, and it's not unusual for the same couplet to appear.

Xiao Lu suddenly said: "Eh, I may be able to match this couplet, I saw a similar one when I was an editor, I should just change it, Chenxue...... No, the morning dew ......"

Brother Hou urged: "Come on, Xiao Lu, hurry up."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I think" Xiao Lu grabbed his hair.

"It's not morning or something, will it be just right for the DPRK?" Brother Hou also helped to think together.

It can be seen that they all really want to help Zhang Ye enter the finals and avoid being taken advantage of by some despicable villains in the Beijing Writers Association to attack Zhang Ye's prestige in the literary circle.

But over there, a middle-aged contestant slapped his head suddenly, strode up and picked up the brush, and wrote the answer on the couplet that Xiao Lu and Brother Hou were considering. After writing it, he looked at the three judges and teachers, and saw that two of them nodded, and he smiled heartily and passed

Xiao Lu almost died of anger and was "robbed"

Brother Hou said regretfully: "It's just one step away, we're about to figure it out."

"There are only two questions left. Da Fei reminded.

However, Hu Fei sighed and pointed, "There is only one left." ”

I only saw that an old acquaintance of Zhang Ye went up at some point, and when he picked up the pen, he wrote a couplet, the handwriting was strong and powerful, and it was very beautiful. This person is Da Lei, the poet of the Beijing Writers' Association. After seeing the judges pass, he smiled, "Xie Lu, thank the teachers." ”

The bald judge looked at him and said, "Da Lei, you are the runner-up of the last Beijing Couplet Competition, it took so long?"

The second judge, the old lady smiled and said: "Don't you see? Da Lei didn't do those relatively simple questions, but chose one of the two most difficult questions, which is the arrogance in the bones of the last runner-up, hehe, but Da Lei has this level, if he doesn't answer this question, it is estimated that no one will be able to answer it." ”

The old man of the third judge said: "There is still the last question left?" Oh, I guessed well, if this question is really left, old man Qian, you can't answer this question in ordinary people, this is just the preliminaries, you are so difficult? In such a short time, who is right?"

Qian Lao is the first judge of this competition, and he is also the oldest and the oldest, he touched his beard and said: "This is a couplet competition, what is the meaning of not having a little difficulty?"

Da Lei obviously knew them, and when he heard it, he said: "The fiftieth question is from Qian Lao? No wonder, I just thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with the next couplet, this couplet is estimated that no one is right, let alone right, even how to read it is a problem, even if you are an expert, you may not necessarily read it correctly." ”

Of course, Qian Lao is known as a ghost talent in the industry, he is not a member of the Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles or the Beijing Writers Association, but a member of the Republic Writers Association, with a high reputation, and is good at making some tricky questions, not only in the category of couplets, but also one of the questioners in this year's college entrance examination. The questions he gives are generally not for people to get points, but to widen the gap between the top and inferior students.

Many contestants there have given up, and there are many excellent writers and university professors, but in the face of this question, as soon as they heard the dialogue between Qian Boss Lei and them, everyone retreated.

gave up, only Zhang Ye was still staring at the topic, and his eyes were still blinking, for no other reason, he had seen this couplet
