"Not necessarily."

Qin Dui spit out the skin of the melon seeds and said, the couplet This Qin Dui was very good at when he was in college, and when he was in college, Qin Dui had the title of "King of Pairs", besides, with thousands of years of knowledge of pairs in China, Qin Dui felt that he still had a certain hope of winning this painting.

In fact, Qin Dui has no bottom in his heart, but in front of beautiful women, his momentum is not lost, and the odds of winning by one or two points are regarded as ten points.

Master Xu was just sitting down, took out a note from a small box, opened the note, looked at the words on it, and said: "My upper link is, 'Smoke Lock Pond Willow', can you match it?" ”

Such a simple five-character couplet? A lot of people are dumbfounded.

However, really talented people like Xie Jin couldn't help frowning, this pair is absolutely amazing.

Indeed, this couplet can be called absolute, the upper five characters, embedded in the "fire, metal, water, earth, wood" five lines on the side, and the artistic conception is very wonderful: a quiet pond, surrounded by green willows, layers of smoke will be deeply enveloped, this is simply a landscape painting.

This Shanglian, even the great talent, Xie Jin, the current literary leader of the Great Qin Dynasty, was stumped, which can be seen to be unusual.

However, there are still some people with average talent who think it is very simple.

A young boy said confidently: "What's so difficult about this? I'm ...... about the rain falling."

But before he could say yes, Xu Lang had already put a pen on a large piece of paper, wrote out his couplet, and hung it in the center of the courtyard, so that everyone could see it clearly.

The boy also saw the upper link, and then the lower link behind "Rain Falling" was held back alive by him, coughed, and stopped talking, and he realized how humorous his words "What's so difficult about this" were. Many people around looked at it and were stunned.

"Smoke lock pond willow?"

"Fire, gold, water, and earth." Each word contains five lines

Can you come up with such a tricky uplink? And the five elements are still working so well? This Lord Xu is too good at solving problems, just such a question, more than ninety percent of the people present will be eliminated.

"It seems that this painting has nothing to do with me!" A lot of people just give up.

However, there are still some people who bow their heads and meditate, constantly muttering something on their lips, obviously thinking about the next link.

After all, this uplink only has the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which is greasy, difficult, but it doesn't look too difficult, everyone who knows some couplets to see this uplink, may feel that they can come out, as long as there is time, as long as you find the right word, it is enough, look at the expressions of everyone present, obviously think so.

However, seeing this pair of Qin Duan, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, isn't this the eternal absolute in his previous life?

In previous lives, there were few people in hundreds of years of history who could match it, and none of them were considered the best downlink.

You must know that some of the couplets look very difficult, and they may not be as difficult as imagined, such as the couplet that makes a fuss about the radicals, "lotus stem lotus lotus lily", which is particularly complicated at first glance, all of them are grass words, but if you think about it, they are all flowers and plants.

So there is no problem with the "hibiscus peony fragrant", and there are many others that can be matched. But some of the links seem to be just a little mysterious, and they look similar to other uplinks, so that you can understand them at a glance, but you can't get the hard work you spend a lifetime on.

"Smoke lock pond willow."

The history of this Shanglian can be said to be quite long, in the previous life of Qin Duan, it has always been passed down as an absolute through the ages, and countless literati and writers have been defeated in front of it for hundreds of years and thousands of years.

But fortunately, Qin Duan knows a few of the lower links of this pair, although the artistic conception may be a little worse, it can be regarded as a suitable lower link.

"It's almost time, does anyone match it?"

Xu Lang asked, for his own pair, Xu Lang himself felt good, he himself hadn't thought of the next link, so no one had been on the line for so long, Xu Lang felt normal.

"I'm interested in 'Paozhen Haicheng Tower'."

Xie Jin said with a little blush, after all, this pair is barely right, but the artistic conception is too far from Shanglian, just barely right, which makes Xie Jin a little embarrassed, because he is still the most famous talent in the Great Qin Dynasty, and the leader of the literary world, this Xu Lang old boy's Shanglian stumped himself.

After all, the poor performance of this "Paozhen Haicheng Tower" is not only in the artistic conception, but also in the rhythm. First of all, in terms of rhythm, regardless of the first, third, and fifth of the poetic rhythm, the second, fourth, and sixth are distinct, and the second and fourth characters of the upper and lower couplets are all the sound of the song (lock-town, pond-city), and the right does not work.

Secondly, in terms of artistic conception, Shanglian is green and elegant, and down is rough and confucius, although it is said to be one article and one martial arts, but it is not coordinated, and lacks overall harmony.

It's just that Xie Jin couldn't think of a better pair, so he had to take it out reluctantly, if he didn't take it out, he wouldn't even be able to match a pair, and he would have no place to put his old face.

"Paozhen Haicheng Tower!"

Xu Lang silently read a few words, and couldn't help but praise: "It's not a loss, Xie Lao, he is the most talented person in our Great Qin Dynasty, and he has come up with such a neat lower link in such a short time. ”

Xu Lang had to convince Xie Jin's talent to be much higher than his own.

"Master Xu, don't say it, besides, my old face is almost unbearable." Xie Jin said with some shame, he knows his own affairs.

"Xie Lao is modest, there is no one to match, if no one is right, this character will belong to Xie Lao." Xu Lang looked at everyone and said.

"Brother Zhao, are you right?"

"I'm still a little short, it's coming, it's coming, don't bother me."

"I also think it's a little bit close, I already have an idea."

"There's still time, right? I should be able to try it too, but it's just two words away...... ...... next to the word fire"

Because Lord Xu hadn't said that the time was up, some of them whispered to each other, wanting to come up with the next link in the last bit of time.

"Hehe, you can't get it."

The little county lord Zhao Yan looked at Qin Dui happily and said, it seems that his one million taels of silver can be saved, and now he can make good fun of this Qin Dui.

"Who said I couldn't be right."

Qin Duan stood up from his position and shouted at Xu Lang's position: "Lord Xu, please slow down, I can match this pair." ”

"Can you match?"

Xu Lang looked at Qin Duan with some confusion and asked, this person, Xu Lang has no impression, it seems that he is not a member of the Jinling Book Club.

"Yes, I can."

Qin Duan said confidently, Qin Dui has several lower links in his stomach, and he can match this upper link, which is no worse than Xie Jin's lower link.

Xu Lang was stunned, happy, and said in his heart that you really want to do this couplet? It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, what are you right about in such a short time, it took me three days, and I didn't come up with the next link, you are a hairy boy, you actually said that you can make the next link, Xu Lang didn't believe it.

The other people in the courtyard, including the people upstairs, all stared at Qin Dui, and everyone knew that there was still this person here.

"Huh?"

"Who is this man?"

"This uplink is absolute, right? Anyone else want to try? ”

"It's not absolute, but it's certainly very hard."

"Is he okay? Why haven't I seen him? Are we in the book club? ”

Here, basically few people know Qin Duan, so after a long time, everyone still doesn't know who this person is.

"I didn't expect that this Qin Gongzi is so talented, and he actually thought of this link, I still don't have a clue now." Chen Yuanyuan said to Liu Ru in some surprise.

"Of course, Qin Gongzi's talent is the most powerful among the people I know."

Liu Ru said proudly, Liu Ru was so happy that his man could make such an absolute, even happier than himself.

"Qin Gongzi's talent, is it really that powerful?" Chen Yuanyuan said with some disbelieving.

"Hehe, you don't believe it, you'll know later."

Liu Ru said with a smile, no matter how much he said, there was no fact that was more convincing, and after his man won the competition, Chen Yuanyuan knew if he was joking.

"If you can match it, then say the next link, the time is coming." Xu Lang stared at Qin Duan and said, Xu Lang still didn't believe that this young man could match his own Shanglian.

"My next link is, 'Taoran Jinjiang Embankment'." Qin Duan said his next link slowly.

"Taoran Jinjiang embankment."

As soon as this pair came out, the people in the entire restaurant were shocked, compared with Xie Lao's "Paozhen Haicheng Tower", this couplet can be called an irreplaceable "absolute" counterpoint.

No matter in the rhythm, artistic conception, and mechanism, it is completely compatible. The left five lines of the same color are sideways, none of which are the same as the upper link and the order is the same (the upper link "fire→ gold→ water→ earth → wood", the lower link "wood→fire→ gold→ water → earth"), neat and neat, with far-reaching artistic conception.

If the "Smoke Lock Pond Willow" is a beautiful morning and twilight picture, and the "Taoran Jinjiang Embankment" reflects the vibrant scene of spring, one is soft and graceful, the other is warm and unrestrained, and the two paintings form a sharp contrast.

In particular, the word "burning", the work of the pen is not inferior to the word "lock", which can be called a unique pen.

If you give a score to the next link, the sentence "Paozhen Haichenglou" can only give 70 points. Its advantage is that the order of the five elements is exactly the same as that of Shanglian, but the difference in artistic conception is too great, and it can only be called "right", and "Taoran Jinjiang Embankment" can score 90 points.

Of course, the sentence "Taoran Jinjiang Embankment" also has shortcomings, and it cannot be said to be a perfect answer, but it can only be said to be the best answer in comparison.

On the one hand, "Jinjiang embankment" is not a generic noun, and "Jinjiang" is not generic compared with "pond", so there is still a certain gap between "Jinjiang embankment" and "pond willow", and "peach" and "smoke" also have the same problem, but it is not easy to get such a downward link.

This is a shocking link in Qin Duan's previous life, but this author is no longer verifiable, perhaps from the folk. Maybe he was very smart, and he expected that this couplet would shake the world in the future, so it was engraved in the ground of the monument, so that future generations would know that there was such a wonderful couplet.
