Half an hour passed, and the competition of the Douyue Festival began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Brilliant fireworks flew into the sky and exploded in the air, brilliant and colorful, and extremely beautiful.
"It's beautiful. Ling was still intoxicated, his eyes fascinated as he watched the fireworks burst out in the air.
Gu Feng smiled, hugged Ling Yi into his arms, and enjoyed the good time with her.
A gong sounded !! "bell", attracting everyone's attention.
A white-haired old man walked onto the high platform of the Douyue Festival competition, looked at the people who had calmed down, and said slowly: "I announce that in the first part of the Douyue Competition, the literati will officially start the introduction of the moon, and one hundred and thirty-two contestants will come forward to accept the test. ”
With the old man's words, everyone consciously retreated, giving up a large enough distance, and a table and stool were moved into the scene of the game, marked with numbers, and the contestants, according to the number plate of their palms, took their seats.
Everything is in order, and it can be seen that the competition has been going on for many years, and it is not much better than the martial arts conference.
Gu Feng's number is eighty-six, which is in the middle and back position, and Ling is still standing in the crowd, cheering for Gu Feng.
"Now that everyone has taken their seats, let's start announcing the test questions for this literati introduction. "It's no longer the old man just now, but this time it's replaced by a middle-aged man on the high platform, with a strong voice and very penetrating power, and at a glance, you can tell that it's a practitioner with deep internal strength.
With the middle-aged man's words, one by one the scrolls were brought to the stage.
"As you can see, the first level of this literati introduction to the moon is to couplet, the stage will be presented is the upper couplet, you need to give the lower couplet, there are a total of thirty-two couplets, we will display one by one, the first to answer the pass the level, enter the next level of the literati to introduce the moon, that is to say, there are thirty-two scrolls on the stage, only thirty-two people can enter the next level. If there is a problem, you can now ask "the middle-aged man explained to everyone."
After a few moments, when there were no objections, the man continued: "Since you all have no opinions, then I declare the first level of the literati introduction to the moon officially begins. The first couplet is displayed. ”
A scroll was opened, and the first couplet appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Half a bottle of wine into the intestines, sorrowful, pearl tears speechless. This is the first couplet, and it is presented to everyone.
Everyone began to think, whether they were participating or not, they were all thinking, but Gu Feng was just smiling, not thinking seriously, just looking at everyone with a light smile.
Ling was still speechless, she knew that Gu Feng felt that this kind of couplet was too simple and was unwilling to answer.
In less than a minute, someone must have stood up.
"On the thirty-sixth, Wujiren, I have a link, everyone listen. The moon is like frost, autumn is like water, and people are homesick. A man in his thirties stood up and said.
There were three old men on the stage who commented, and when they heard Wujiren's words, they exchanged a few words with each other, and one of the old men in the middle said, "Yes, you passed." ”
"Show the second couplet. ”
Wuji replied to the first couplet, left his seat, and came to the stage, where the middle-aged man continued the competition.
The second couplet is unfolded.
"Thousands of distant mountains and thousands of waters, very lovesick. ”
The difficulty is not much different from that of the first couplet, and the archaic style is still indifferent.
"I'm right, three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus, a bright moon and two hearts. A young man in his twenties stood up and replied. The couplet is neat, much better than the previous one.
"Good, you passed. The three old men on the high platform nodded in unison and let it pass.
A third couplet then unfolds.
"Wine and beauty accompany you, and the spring breeze is proud. The difficulty began to slowly increase, and the time for the person answering the couplet to think began to increase.
After more than five minutes, a person finally stood up and replied: "The night market is full of thousands of lights, and the people and the moon are reunited." ”
The couplet is quite neat, and it barely passes.
"The shampoo is full of buckets, and the smoke is shrouded in green glass. "The fourth couplet.
"Reflecting the final night, the bright moon is made into a silver world. ”
The difficulty of the couplets is not as high as imagined, but the difficulty is alternate, and in more than an hour, thirty couplets have been unfolded, and only the last two are left.
"Then the thirty-first couplet. The middle-aged man shouted.
"Last autumn, don't cry, cross the ocean, full of bitterness, alone in a foreign land as a stranger. The difficulty has risen sharply, leaving many people speechless, shaking their heads secretly, they have to rack their brains for the simple couplet in front of them, and now this kind of couplet makes them how good.
Gu Feng smiled lightly, such a couplet was okay, but he still didn't get up to answer, wanting to see what the last couplet would be.
Ling is still a little anxious, he has already come out of the thirty-first couplet, looking at the appearance of Gu Feng, he is still indifferent, if he is preempted by someone at the thirty-second time, then Gu Feng will not be eliminated in the first level.
For nearly ten minutes, no one got up to answer, and a man in a blue red Jiao robe shook his head, stood up, and said as if a little reluctantly: "Tonight, the moon is bright, and the overseas travelers are concerned about their homeland, and they miss their relatives every festival." ”
"Okay!" everyone applauded, and the three old men on the stage also nodded, without thinking about it, and directly announced that the blue-robed man had passed.
"Thirty-second couplet. The middle-aged man continued.
"The water depends on the warmth and coldness, the stream rests to find the source, the song is in the slanting light, and the scenery by the lake can be as follows!" This is the thirty-second couplet, and it is also the last couplet in the first level of the literati to introduce the moon.
Gu Feng smiled, and finally a nice couplet appeared.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Feng didn't give others a chance at all, so he got up directly and said: "The moon is full and missing, don't ask about the first day of the year by the pavilion, raise a glass to invite tonight, and Chang'e in the sky will recognize me!"
Everyone was stunned, this couplet can be said to be the most difficult of the thirty-two couplets, this person actually came out so quickly, and it was so neat, it was amazing.
"Good!" I don't know who led the applause, and suddenly there was a thunderous cheer and applause.
The three old men all stood up and applauded, they had already thought about the answer to this couplet in advance, but they had also thought about it a lot, but they didn't have the neatness of the ancient style, rhyme, and let them respect.
The blue-robed man's eyes flashed, and he admired Gu Feng's eyes very much, he thought of the couplet just now and Gu Feng in about time, but there was no rhyme battle of Gu Feng.
"I declare that this is the end of the first level of the literati introduction of the moon, and half an hour later, the second level of the literati introduction of the moon will be carried out. The middle-aged man spoke at the right time and announced the progress of the game.
After Gu Feng and the others registered, they walked down from the high platform, and Gu Feng returned to Ling Yi's side...
The conclusion said: The moon is in good spirits, in order to take the ice wheel into my heart
