Looking at Ye Xian's confident expression, the members of the Writers 'Association shrank back for no reason. They swore that they hated Ye Xian's appearance to the core. It was too damn annoying and made people panic!
Immediately, the Writers 'Association members began to hesitate, but they quickly reacted. Ye Xian was deliberately scaring them, wanting them to make a fool of themselves in public!
In addition, they had already said that they would let Ye Xian write the first half of the couplet. If they cowered because of Ye Xian's indifferent words, they would really lose face!
Moreover, there were so many of them present! They were the elites of the elites! Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with those strange couplets for Ye Xian! Even if they couldn't answer as quickly as Ye Xian, they would definitely be able to answer as long as they had time!
After all, there were almost no couplets that could make so many of them unable to come up with. If there were, it was only those few ancient couplets that they could not answer!
With this in mind, the members of the Writers 'Association looked at each other and nodded encouragingly as if they were about to make some major life decision. There was no helping it, Ye Xian was giving them too much pressure!
"Write the first half! Those well-known millennia would definitely be spared!”The members of the Writers 'Association were still worried and gave Ye Xian a heads-up.
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Ye Xian, wanting to see what kind of couplet he could come up with. At the same time, they also wanted to know if these people from the Writers 'Association could answer it.
At this second, the noisy scene finally quieted down again, and everyone's eyes were on it!
Ye Xian smiled slightly. He was really looking for a beating!
Then, he lightly said five words, an unusually simple couplet.
"My couplet is…Smoke locks the willows in the pond!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd started discussing.
"Smoke locks the willows in the pond? Such a simple five-character couplet? God Ye wasn't going easy on him, was he? At this time, he should beat the dog that was in trouble! They should be ruthlessly stomped on again. Let's see if these conceited members of the Writers 'Association still dared to go around showing off!”
"Yeah, I can even match this kind of couplet! Let me think, Rain Fall…Hiss, Rain Fall…"
"Hey, brother, your Rainfall won't work at all. The Smoke Lock Pond Willow that God Ye gave us has the five elements of fire, metal, water, earth, and wood! If he wanted to fight, he had to fight against someone of the five elements, and the five elements had to restrain each other!”
“…………”
When the members of the Writers 'Association saw the first half of the couplet, they still knew the seven orifices. However, they were not discouraged at all. This couplet was just difficult to match and required some time! It wasn't absolute!
For a moment, the members of the Writers 'Association were all thinking about the second half of the couplet. Many of them were still writing and drawing.
The live audience was also thinking that this couplet was really not difficult. Anyone could match it, but it would always be a little off.
On the stage, the contestants who were participating in this year's poetry and couplet competition were also scribbling rapidly. Zhou Mi, who was similar to Ye Xian, was also frowning and thinking.
Driven by this strange atmosphere, everyone present, except for Ye Xian who had given the first couplet, was thinking about how to be the first to match the second couplet!
Yes, the first half of the couplet only had the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Although it was difficult, it didn't seem too difficult. Anyone who knew some couplet culture would feel that they could match it as long as they had time and found the right words. Judging from the expressions of the people present, it was obvious that they all thought so.
But only Ye Xian knew that no one could match this couplet!
This couplet had a long history. In Ye Xian's world, it had been passed down through the ages. For hundreds and thousands of years, countless literati had been defeated by it. However, the people of this world had definitely never heard of it.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
There were thousands of people present, but not a single one of them matched this couplet. The members of the Chinese Writers 'Association all remembered to stomp their feet.
"Old Liu, did you get it?"
"Just a little bit more. Soon, soon.”
"I also feel that it's almost done. I already have an idea.”
"I also have some clues. I'm just missing two words, beside the word 'fire'…beside the word' fire'…"
Right now, the live broadcast was of the ** poetry and couplet competition. There was still a long competition that had yet to be carried out. It was unknown how much time had been delayed. The two hosts on the stage were extremely embarrassed. They wanted to say something, but they couldn't interrupt. In the end, they came to Ye Xian's side.
"Teacher Ye Xian, did you come up with the second half of your couplet?”
Ye Xian also saw their helplessness and did not intend to make things difficult for them. After all, it was only the people from the Chinese Writers 'Association who had offended him, so there was no need to drag others into it.
"No, I didn't match it either!”Ye Xian said indifferently.
" Ah????"
Ye Xian's words caused an uproar.
Everyone present, one by one, added together, was probably not as good as Ye Xian in the field of couplet matching. Now that even he had said so, countless people gave up thinking about it at that time.
What a joke, even Ye Xian, who was like a cheat, couldn't match it, so how could he match it!
"Impossible! This couldn't possibly be Qiangu Jue! I'll definitely be able to match it!"
However, there were still people who were unwilling to give up, especially the members of the Chinese Writers 'Association. They had already lost the previous round and did not want to lose the last round.
The host stared at Ye Xian seriously for a few minutes. After confirming that Ye Xian was not joking, he immediately communicated with the main committee of the competition. They were broadcasting live and did not have so much time to waste!
"Alright, let's put aside what we're doing and return to the Chinese Poetry Couplet Competition! The couplet is here. Everyone can match it whenever they want. Let's continue with the process of our big competition first!”The host, Zhang Miao, said.
…………
After the previous incident, no one dared to find trouble with Ye Xian anymore. The rest of the competition went smoothly, and soon, the Chinese Poetry Couplet Competition ended. However, unlike usual, not many people remembered who the champion was this time. Instead, they remembered a god-like man called Ye Xian!
