Not even the birds could make a sound!
The sea tide, day by day, day by day, day by day, day by day, day by day?
Floating clouds rise, long long rise, long long long disappear?
No one had expected that Zhang Ye's seemingly ordinary long long, long long long, actually had such a profound secret hidden behind it!
The old man who was the third judge exclaimed, "This … Someone really matched it?"
They could not believe it, but the truth was right in front of them. The Ghost Genius Elder Qian's trickiest question had been matched, and it was matched flawlessly!
The video-sharing website's cameraman was also stunned. He hurriedly gave Zhang Ye a close-up shot of his face, and gave his second half a long pause!
Elder Qian looked at Zhang Ye, and after a few seconds, he laughed loudly, "Good! The younger generation will surpass us in time! The younger generation will surpass us in time! " Then he stopped laughing and stroked his beard, "This has really exceeded my expectations. You have given me such a big surprise today. Alright, young lad, I'll barely consider you a pass."
Considered a pass?
Barely considered?
Everyone was confused. Didn't he match it?
Zhang Ye also looked at Elder Qian, but he was not angry. He smiled, "Why is it barely considered?"
The second judge, an old granny, said with some doubts, "Old man Qian, didn't he match it very well? There's nothing to say about it. The meaning was just right. What else are you picky about? I think it's a flawless match! "
The third judge frowned and thought for a moment. He suddenly said, "Eh, your first half still has a mystery?"
Elder Qian smiled, "Yes, my first half has other ways of reading it. The meaning and meaning are different, so he can only be considered to have matched a small portion of it. That's why I said he barely passed."
There was still a mystery?
There was something fishy about it?
Everyone was shocked. Did Elder Qian come up with a miraculous couplet? They had thought that this couplet was extremely difficult. Could it be that they had underestimated it? This was a miraculous couplet!
Xiao Lu exclaimed, "It's good that he passed. Teacher Zhang is awesome!"
Hou Ge and Hou Di were also extremely impressed. To be able to match a portion of it was already very exaggerated. After all, they did not even understand this first half of the couplet!
Big Thunder felt balanced.
When the other contestants heard this, they also felt balanced!
Oh, so it wasn't all correct. He had other ways of reading the first half of the couplet!
Elder Qian looked gratifyingly at Zhang Ye, "If it were according to the rigid rules, your answer would not be able to pass. This is because we are the capital's Couplet Competition. The rules not only require neatness and the mood, but also the atmosphere. However, this couplet is rather complicated. It's a strange couplet. You are still young, so to be able to match it to this point is already very good. Hence, I'll pass you. I believe the other two judges will not have any objections."
The little old granny said, "Of course I have no objections. You may pass."
The third judge said, "If you didn't approve it, I would have an opinion. Haha."
But just as Elder Qian was about to write that Zhang Ye had passed the preliminaries, Zhang Ye stood up and laughed, "All of you don't have any objections, but I do. Elder Qian, you said that my second verse was barely passable. I can't pretend that I didn't hear that. Hur Hur."
Everyone was in an uproar!
You still have something to say?
What do you have to say?
Elder Qian said in amusement, "Why? Not convinced? Then I'll read out the other ways of reading my first couplet, and I'll let you admit defeat wholeheartedly? "
I lost?
I'll lose?
Zhang Ye said without fear, "What a coincidence. This second verse of mine also has many ways of reading it!"
This time, it was Elder Qian and the others who were stunned, "Oh? You have it too? "
Xiao Lu exclaimed, "Teacher Zhang, you can really do it?"
Zhao Guozhou, Hu Fei and company were also in disbelief.
Big Thunder snorted. Impossible! He thought to himself, "Zhang, you sure know how to brag!" Big Thunder already knew the intricacies of this first verse. Hai Shui chao chao chao chao luo? The few "chao" words in the middle could actually be broken off. And by changing the way of reading it, the mood would be completely different. Even the meaning expressed would be very different. Everything was filled with knowledge. Hur, what a joke. How could your long long long long have any knowledge? It was just a coincidence that the first verse of this couplet had a layer of explanation and broken off sentences! What are you still bragging about? Why are you trying to act fat!
The online video staff did not dare to be negligent. The camera was always pointed at Zhang Ye and company.
The commotion attracted many people. More and more guests had even gone to the auditorium. The contestants who had passed the preliminaries had all returned.
"Someone answered the last question?"
"What's the situation? Who is this person? "
"He didn't answer all of them. Elder Qian's first verse was a little fishy."
These contestants who had entered the finals had clearly been informed by their friends over the phone that something had happened. Out of curiosity, they came to see who had answered the 50th question. Those who had passed the preliminaries had all seen the 50th question. No one was confident in answering it, so they could only settle for the next best thing and answer some simple couplet questions. Now that someone had solved one of the two most difficult questions, everyone naturally wanted to see who it was.
Amongst them, the romance writer, Zheng Anbang, who had previously participated in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Meet with Big Thunder from the Beijing Writers' Association, also came out. It looked like he was also an expert in couplets. He had passed the preliminaries early. The moment he reached the square, he met with Big Thunder and asked about the details from before.
Then, the Beijing Writers' Association's Vice-President, Meng Dongguo, also walked up from behind.
Zhang Ye's Television Station's Arts Channel's head, Wang Shuixin, also strolled over. Director Wang did not participate in the competition, so he probably had a ticket to watch it. "Old Hu!"
Hu Fei went over, "Director, you came too?"
"What happened? Little Zhang answered it? "Wang Shuixin was very curious.
Hu Fei said, "Not yet. Teacher Little Zhang and Elder Qian … are about to have a couplet duel."
"Duel with Elder Qian?" Wang Shuixin couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself that this young man was overestimating himself!
…
He did not care about the discussion around him.
Hearing Zhang Ye's big words, Elder Qian narrowed his eyes. He said to Zhang Ye with great curiosity and interest, "Alright, then let's give it a try? Are you sure you've prepared and considered everything? My couplet has many variations! "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "What a coincidence. My second verse has quite a few variations as well."
Elder Qian accepted the challenge. "Then let's begin."
"Sure." Zhang Ye did not back down. "Please."
Elder Qian closed his eyes, "Hai Shui Chao, Chao Chao, Chao Chao, Chao Chao!"
The moment the couplet duel began, everyone immediately stopped their whispering. They all turned their gazes over. They wanted to see how Zhang Ye would respond! Elder Qian said that his couplet had many variations and ways of reading. Everyone believed it because he was Elder Qian, the person who set the questions for the college entrance examination. But Zhang Ye also said that his second couplet had a profound meaning? However, no one believed it. For example, Dalei, Zheng Anbang, and Meng Dongguo!
Take a look at Elder Qian's first verse!
This time, the pronunciation and usage of the words were different! Compared to the couplet that Elder Qian and Zhang Ye had previously matched, the one that was more inclined towards big ups and downs, but this couplet that had its pronunciation changed was closer to nature. The meaning was simply earth-shattering. Although it was still a couplet on the surface, with 'hai shui zhao zhao zhao zhao luo', in fact, this was a different couplet!
This was definitely hopeless!
Everyone knew that Zhang Ye's second verse could not be matched!
However, Zhang Ye just chuckled, "Floating clouds rise, rise and rise, rise and fall, rise and fall!"
What?
This second verse …
Holy sh * t! He matched it?
You can really change the second half of the couplet?
Hearing Zhang Ye's second verse, everyone was still in a daze!
Elder Qian was also stunned. He came up with the third verse, "hai shui chao, zhao zhao chao chao, zhao zhao zhao luo!" This time, not only did the pronunciation and meaning of the words change, even the punctuation was different. It was a punctuation of three, four, three.
Zhang Ye immediately said, "Floating clouds rise, rise and fall, rise and fall!"
Elder Qian immediately came up with the fourth couplet, "Hai Shui Chao, Chao Chao, Chao Chao, Chao Chao!"
Zhang Ye said, "Floating Clouds Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise, Disappear!"
Old Qian's eyes narrowed. "The sea rises every day, rises every day, and falls every day!"
Zhang Ye said in a carefree manner, "Floating clouds grow and grow, grow and grow, fade and fade!"
Everyone was dumbfounded by what they heard. One by one, they were all dumbfounded as they listened to the two duel! They felt that this was already the domain of an alien planet. No one could intervene, and no one could interrupt them. They could only listen and be shocked again and again by the strange couplets of the two!
Elder Qian didn't believe it either. "The sea rises and falls every day!"
Zhang Ye smoothed his hair, "Floating clouds grow and expand, grow and grow, grow and grow!"
Elder Qian looked at him. "The sea rises and falls!"
Zhang Ye looked back, "Floating clouds grow and grow, grow and grow and grow and disappear!"
Is that even possible?
How could this match up?
When Elder Qian saw that it was no longer possible, he could only use his trump card. "The sea rises and falls every day!" This time, it was a "50-50 verse".
Who knew that Zhang Ye did not feel any pressure at all. He easily matched, "Floating clouds grow and expand, grow and grow and disappear!"
Elder Qian did not stop, "The sea rises and fall, grow and grow and disappear!"
Zhang Ye also replied very quickly. It was as if he did not think before he blurted out, "Floating clouds grow and expand, grow and grow and disappear!"
Finally, Elder Qian came up with the last couplet, "This is the last variation. The sea rises and falls every day!" This time, it was a very irregular six-four verse.
Zhang Ye replied with a smile, "This is also my last variation. The sea rises and falls, grow and grow and disappear!"
When he finished matching the last sentence, the square exploded!
"Holy sh * t!"
"Your sister!"
"What did I hear?"
"God! You can even match this? "
Zhang Ye actually matched it! All of them matched!
Every single variation of the connection matched up! And it was not as simple as barely matching! Every pair was flawless! The concept matched!
Elder Qian, "…"
Big Thunder, "…"
The other contestants and audience, "…"
F * * k your second granny! He can even do this!?
Zheng Anbang gasped, "This Zhang Ye's couplet attainments are so deep?"
"How would I know!?" Big Thunder's expression did not look too good, "He can even match such a miraculous couplet? He even forced Elder Qian back in a couplet duel? This kid must be on steroids! "
Everyone was shocked and amazed!
They had never heard of such an enjoyable couplet duel!
