Three points!
Zhang Ye was temporarily in first place!
Based on this momentum, everyone knew that Zhang Ye had a chance of becoming the champion. The contestants could no longer sit still. When it was their turn to set the questions, they all made the questions very difficult. Some of them even changed their original strategy of setting the questions. For example, this person from the Beijing Writers' Association. He was contestant # 1, and was also the first contestant to set a question. Initially, he had thought of a reverse couplet. As reverse couplets were more difficult, if no one else could answer it, he would be able to get 10 points. That way, he would be guaranteed to be in the top five. However, when he saw how easily Zhang Ye could answer the reverse couplet, he changed it at the last minute!
This couplet was not actually his original creation. He had learned it from a master, so he did not plan on using it. He was afraid that others would accuse him of cheating, but now, with Zhang Ye's momentum, he had no choice but to use it!
Contestant # 1 set the question, "Water, water, mountains, mountains, everywhere clear and beautiful!"
This couplet, in jargon, was called a reduplicated couplet. The difficulty was average and considered relatively low.
Big Thunder's eyes lit up. He could match this couplet. After some thought, he smoothed out his words and was about to speak, but in that one second of thought, Zhang Ye beat him to it.
Zhang Ye smiled, "Clear and clear, rain and rain are always good and strange."
The three judges were deep in thought. This time, they did not immediately approve it.
Many of the contestants could tell that something was amiss. This couplet was not that simple!
Big Thunder was the same. After Zhang Ye said it, he also thought of a second half, but after some thought, his second half was not suitable. It did not match!
There was a trap!
There was a trap in it!
Contestant # 1 saw that Zhang Ye had fallen for it and laughed, "Sorry about that, Teacher Zhang Ye. My couplet can be read backwards. The reduplicated couplet is also a reverse couplet. Xiu Xiu is clearly mountains, rivers and mountains."
Zhang Ye smiled, "What a coincidence. My couplet can also be read backwards. Qiqi is good and rain is always clear and sunny!"
Contestant # 1 was stunned, "My couplet is stepping on flowers. It can also be repeated. The water is bright and the mountains are beautiful. The water and the mountains are everywhere clear and beautiful!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "What a coincidence. My couplet is also about stepping on flowers. It can be repeated over and over again. Good when it's sunny, strange when it's rainy, always curious when it's sunny and rainy!" In his previous world, there was a popular couplet between Shanghai and Hangzhou. It was said that it was written by Huang Wenzhong, but in this world, the second half of the couplet was lost.
Hearing this, contestant number one almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as if he had suffered a great internal injury. In such a short period of time, no, in almost an instant, he had deciphered all the variations of this couplet? He even came up with such a perfect second verse?
F * ck you!
You must have been possessed by a deity!
Gasps could be heard from the audience!
The three judges pressed the button. Beep! Pass!
Contestant number 2 was a member of the Couplet Organization. He did not believe in heresy and came up with a question, "Wu Shan is as good as Mount Wu." This was a couplet with different characters with the same sound. It was extremely difficult!
Someone was just about to try a pair.
Zhang Ye gave the second half, "What water can be as clear as the river!"
The second judge, an old granny, could not help but exclaim, "Good couplet!" As a judge, she should not have made a sound, but as a lover of couplet culture, she could not help but exclaim! Wu Shan … Mount Wu? What water … River water! She looked at Zhang Ye with a look of pleasant surprise!
The people below changed their routine again. They came up with an uncommon ending couplet, "A crow flies into a flock of herons, sending charcoal in the snow."
It was Zhang Ye again. He immediately matched the second half, "The phoenix stands by the mandarin ducks' side, adding flowers to embroidery!"
That person, "…" Then, he gave Zhang Ye a thumbs up, convinced. He did not say a word.
Zhang Ye's points increased. At this moment, it did not seem like a couplet competition between contestants. It had become a competition where Zhang Ye challenged everyone alone!
It was contestant number five's turn. This person was also from the Beijing Writers' Association. Before he announced the question, he gave Big Thunder a look. This person had already discussed the question with Big Thunder before. He had already told Big Thunder the answer, so as to let Big Thunder win, he had set up a small ambush. Big Thunder also understood. As long as he announced the question, Big Thunder would definitely rush to answer. This time, he would definitely not let Zhang Ye get any points. Furthermore, this was a rare riddle couplet. The difficulty of some riddle couplets was even higher than a reverse couplet!
"One mouthful can swallow two springs, three rivers, four seas and five lakes!" That person said confidently.
But just as Big Thunder opened his mouth, Zhang Ye was one step ahead of him, "Alone dares to enter the thousands of households of the common people!" The answer to the riddle was a hot water bottle. He matched it perfectly!
Big Thunder's face sank!
The other contestants also looked at each other!
"The white snake crosses the river, a red sun above its head." It was another riddle couplet. Someone challenged Zhang Ye. After saying it, he looked at him.
Zhang Ye immediately matched it, "The green dragon hangs on the wall, covered with ten thousand golden stars!"
"The sky is the chessboard, the stars are the pieces. Who can play?" Another person looked at Zhang Ye unhappily.
Zhang Ye chuckled, "The earth is the pipa, the road is the strings. Who dares to play?"
Another person gave a question with a black face, "When the wind blows, the frost descends before the house becomes a light snow!"
Zhang Ye also matched the six solar terms, "Sunshine, Duanwu, Qingqing, Chong Yang is seen at the bottom of the water!"
A female comrade said, "The northern goose flies south, its wings divided into two parts, East and West!"
Zhang Ye matched it, "The cart before and the rut after two rounds, Left and right walk high and low!"
A middle-aged man said, "The old crow tramples the old branch, the crow flies and the branch falls!"
Zhang Ye rapped his fingers on the table, "The immortal crane returns to the ravine of the immortal ravine, the crane cries in the ravine!"
Once again, it was a long series of couplets! Zhang Ye still answered the moment he opened his mouth. Without any hesitation, he answered all ten of the couplets!
The female host nearly cheered when she saw this!
The male host was already holding the microphone in a dumbfounded manner!
Finally, it was the Beijing Writers' Association's Zheng Anbang's turn to give a question. His eyebrows pricked up. He really did not believe that Zhang Ye had three heads and six arms. Hence, he gave a question, "The tree is already in the middle, there's no need to sharpen the axe."
Zhang Ye looked up and said something surprising, "Indeed, it doesn't matter at all!"
Why did he match it?
He didn't match it! That Zhang fellow had finally failed!
Zheng Anbang chuckled, "You call this a couplet? What kind of standard is that?"
A couplet and a couplet had nothing to do with each other. The meaning was completely different, but Zhang Ye had managed to say it without any hesitation?
"What kind of couplet is this?" Xiao Lu, who was in the audience, could tell that the donkey's lips did not match the horse's mouth!
"Is Teacher Zhang unable to do it? After matching so many, has his brain gone haywire? "Hou Ge said in surprise.
However, an even more unexpected scene appeared. Elder Qian and the other two judges also felt that something was amiss at the beginning. They looked suspicious. That shouldn't be the case. This Zhang Ye had matched so many couplets. Could he have made such a mistake that even a beginner would not make? How could he match such a couplet that seemed to have nothing to do with each other? But in the blink of an eye, he understood something. Elder Qian suddenly laughed, "Good, what a good 'indeed, it doesn't matter at all'." He explained to the other two judges. Beep, beep, beep. The three of them gave it a pass!
"What?" Zheng Anbang exclaimed, "Passed?"
A contestant beside him could not accept it, "This second couplet can even be passed? How is that possible!? "
Many of the audience and guests were at a loss. What was this and what?
Elder Qian explained with a smile, "I see that some people are wondering. Hur Hur. I wonder if anyone has heard of 'heartless couplet'?"
Heartless couplet? Of course they knew! This was created by a famous senior in the early years. However, very few people used it. It was the most unorthodox of unorthodox couplets!
Elder Qian explained in detail, "When the tree is half a Xun, don't use the axe. Indeed, it doesn't matter at all. Tree to fruit is the name of the object. A point to a thousand Xun, both are quantifiers. In ancient times, eight feet is Xun. Gan to axe is the name of the object. Gan — an ancient weapon. Hence, the first and second couplets are extremely neat, but the meaning of the sentence is completely unrelated. As the saying goes, heartless couplet. Although there is no relation in the meaning, but Teacher Zhang Ye's second couplet coincidentally matched the first couplet neatly. He even clearly used the second couplet to write 'indeed, it doesn't matter at all'. This is the absolute of 'heartless couplets'! Of course it has to be passed! "
That works?
Such an unpopular heartless couplet can even be done to you?
Everyone looked at Zhang Ye as if they had seen a god!
Next, it was Big Thunder's turn to give a question. When Big Thunder saw Zhang Ye killing everyone, he was gnashing his teeth in hatred. However, Big Thunder had absolute confidence in his first couplet, "Viewing the plum blossoms alone, sweeping the winter snow!"
Eh?
So simple?
The contestants all knew how powerful Big Thunder was. He was the previous year's runner-up, and this year's champion, the old professor, was not here. Hence, many people felt that Big Thunder had the highest chance of winning. The couplet he gave was definitely not ordinary. However, when they heard it, they found it very strange. This was not just simple, it was too simple, right?
Viewing the plum blossoms alone, sweeping the winter snow?
Anyone present could match it!
After Big Thunder gave the question, he smiled without saying a word.
Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes and gave the second couplet, "Looking at the mountain landscape, dancing over the stream."
This time, the judges did not understand. The couplet that the two of them came up with was a bit too simple. It made them unable to make up their minds.
Big Thunder chuckled, "Little Zhang, you got it wrong this time. Do you really think my first couplet is so simple?" Seeing Zhang Ye fall into his trap, he was very pleased, "My first couplet has another interpretation."
Zhang Ye chuckled, "What a coincidence. My second couplet also has another interpretation."
Seeing that he would not give up until he saw the coffin, Big Thunder decided to give him a death sentence. He analyzed, "My first couplet is' Viewing the plum blossoms alone, sweeping the winter snow '. The homophones of these words are do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si. Seven sounds!"
"Ah!"
"So that's how it is!"
"I knew it. How could it be so simple!?"
"This is too profound. It's so obscure?"
"Haha, Zhang Ye has met a tough opponent this time!"
Big Thunder no longer looked at Zhang Ye. He said to everyone, "Can anyone match it?"
Zhang Ye glanced at him, "Didn't I already say my second couplet? Why are you asking others? Your first couplet has a hidden meaning. I've already said it. What a coincidence. My second couplet also has another interpretation. "
Big Thunder scoffed, "What interpretation?"
"Read my second couplet again." This time, it was Zhang Ye's turn to smile without saying a word.
"Read it again? Looking at the mountain landscape, dancing over the stream? " Upon reading this, Big Thunder suddenly stared in horror, "This... This is... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven?"
do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si！
Matching one, two, three, four, five, six, seven?
F * * k your sister! He could even f * * king match it??
Big Thunder nearly fainted!
The judges and contestants beside him were also dumbfounded!
