Freelance Artist Chapter 440

 Chapter 440 The emperor called and couldn't get on the ship!

The audience immediately became excited when they saw that Shang Zhirong was aroused to be competitive and wanted to compete with Lin Zhibai in guessing crossword puzzles!

Everyone has just seen how good Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang are at guessing charades!

　　【The richest man has a hard time pretending today. 】

　　【Shang Zhirong is a real master. 】

　　　Unlike Jiang Shourang, he couldn't guess a single one. 】

  【We can't guess the question either. 】

　　【Everyone laughs at Jiang Shorang, everyone is Jiang Shorang. 】

　　【Haha, look, it's begun. 】

 In the midst of the barrage, the staff member continued to ask the question, "I love playing in the water the most..."

 “The faint ray of morning light.”

Song Xingliang answered the question first before Shang Zhirong and Lin Zhibai opened their mouths.

 Apparently he found the competition between Shang Zhirong and Lin Zhibai interesting, so he also got involved.

"sharp!"

Jiang Shourang smiled and said: "I guess Xiao Shang and Brother Lin can also answer this question, but Lao Song's reaction speed is the fastest."

"continue."

Shang Zhirong didn't take it seriously and just urged the staff to continue writing questions.

 The staff felt that the atmosphere was suddenly ignited, and their voice became nervous, "People walking their dogs..."

 “volt.”

This time it was Shang Zhirong who answered first.

Jiang Shourang yelled 666 from the side: "Now Xiao Shang and Lao Song have one point each, Brother Lin, please work hard."

Lin Zhibai smiled and said nothing.

The staff didn't need to rush me this time. They said directly: “You can't be idle in these seventy years.”

This question is not easy to guess.

Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang looked troubled.

Some people were also guessing on the barrage, and there were all kinds of words for a while.

 After a while, the staff started the countdown.

 “Five, four, three, two…”

 “Xuan.”

Lin Zhibai said softly: "The instrument is so impressive."

Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang looked at each other with something strange in their eyes.

Jiang Shouchang clapped his hands and said, "That's right. The age of seventy is seventy years old. The sum of seventy is the word "che". The so-called "not idle" means to continue working. Take the word "gan" and the word "car" in front of you to form a xuan."

 “You're pretty quick at splitting words.”

Lin Zhibai teased, and Jiang Shourang laughed loudly and said: "I'm using the answer to deduce it. Of course it won't be slow. Let's keep going. Now the three of us are tied. Don't you have something more difficult?"

“Actually, the difficulty is almost the same.”

The staff member smiled and said: "First-class quality, just give it a try."

Shang Zhirong: "Huai."

 Staff: “Extra generous, just type one word.”

 Song Xingliang: "Return."

Just like this, there were several questions in a row, and Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang were rushing to answer them.

　　【The richest man is still a bit weaker. 】

  【Lin Zhibai is already very powerful. 】

　　【The question that neither Shang Zhirong nor Song Xingliang could answer was answered by the richest man. 】

　　【Perhaps the richest man just answered slowly. 】

 Either I can't, or my reaction speed is not that fast. 】

　　【The richest man's reaction was not too slow. It was purely because Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang were too powerful. 】

 The audience discussed this.

At this moment, the staff said: "Beside the willows in front of the flowers, type a word."

Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang frowned. Obviously this was another difficult problem, and even crossword puzzle masters would inevitably fall short.

However.

Just when the two of them were at a loss what to do, Lin Zhibai, who was already lagging behind, suddenly said:

"Mid-Autumn Festival."

The staff member who was preparing for the countdown smiled and said: "The answer is correct, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Festival?"

Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang were stunned for a moment, and then they looked annoyed. This question seemed complicated, but in fact it was very simple.

【Can! 】

　　【The richest man regains his respect again! 】

　　【hiss. 】

  【Have you discovered a strange phenomenon? 】

　　【Every time Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang couldn't answer a question, the richest man could answer it. 】

Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang can answer, but the richest man will not answer. 】

　　【Is it because the richest man didn't think of the answer, or his mind is not as fast as the two of them? 】

　　【Observe again! 】

 Everyone seems to have discovered the pattern.

as expected.

Lin Zhibai remained silent for all the questions that Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang could answer, and the score gap widened again.

 Until the staff said:

“The next four questions are all similar. Let's listen to the first question. Sitting is also lying down, standing is also lying down, walking is also lying down, lying down is also lying down...”

"snake!"

The person who spoke was actually Jiang Shourang. It was rare that he could answer a question, and he was extremely happy.

Shang Zhirong said helplessly: "We are competing, what are you messing with?"

The staff member said: "The next thing is, you can walk even when you sit, you can walk when you stand, you can walk when you walk, and you can still walk when you lie down."

Shang Zhirong pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked happy and said:

"fish!"

The staff member nodded: "Then listen to another question: sitting is also sitting, standing is also sitting, walking is also sitting, and lying down is also sitting."

Lin Zhibai looked at Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang.

Song Xingliang thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Is it a frog-like creature?"

"yes."

The staff member smiled and said: "Then how do you explain this? Sitting is also standing, standing is also standing, walking is also standing, and lying down is also standing."

Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang scratched their heads.

 In fact, this type of question is not very difficult, as long as you know the ideas for solving the problem.

But what the staff just said, even if Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang knew the problem-solving ideas, they couldn't think of any creatures that met the relevant conditions. In other words, this was no longer just a word puzzle, but contained some additional knowledge.

 “Five…four…”

 The staff started counting down.

Lin Zhibai saw Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang scratching their heads and opened his mouth to tell the answer:

"is horse."

Shang Zhirong: "Huh?"

Song Xingliang: “Why?”

Jiang Shourang: "How do you say it?"

Horse doesn't seem to completely fit this word puzzle, right?

Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "It's a little bit of trivia. Most of the time, horses sleep standing up."

"correct."

 The staff nodded.

Jiang Shourang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "If I didn't know that horses can sleep standing up, wouldn't it be impossible to come up with the answer to this crossword puzzle even if I try hard? Brother Lin, I find this person is really interesting, compared to There is also a personality in the rumors. Just now, you didn't rush to answer any of the questions that Xiao Shang and Lao Song could answer. You would only give the answer when they couldn't answer it. Is this intentional?”

Um?

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused. When Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang heard Jiang Shourang's words, and then recalled their answers just now, their expressions suddenly became a little surprised and uncertain.

As Jiang Shourang said:

 In the process of answering the questions just now, Lin Zhibai seemed to only answer the questions when the two of them couldn't answer them!

 Could it be that…

Lin Zhibai is deliberately keeping a low profile and hiding his clumsiness! ?

Not only Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang made this guess, but the audience also thought so:

　　【The richest man didn't really do it on purpose, right? 】

　　【What a coincidence! 】

　　【He just happens to be able to do the questions that Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang don't know? 】

　　【He knows the questions that Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang don't know? 】

  【The richest man said he should keep a low profile today. 】

　　【hiss. 】

  【Is this the way the richest man keeps a low profile? 】

Shang Zhirong wanted to ask Lin Zhibai directly, but he hesitated when the words came to his lips.

Song Xingliang glanced at Lin Zhibai and asked the staff: "Are there any more questions?"

The staff member smiled and said: "You have passed the test and can cross the river, but if you still want to answer the questions, I have one last question here, which was written by Mr. Hu himself."

 The question was asked by Mr. Hu himself?

The other party is a leading literary figure in Qizhou!

Song Xingliang suddenly became interested, Shang Zhirong's eyes also shone, and Jiang Shourang couldn't wait to say:

 “Read quickly!”

 “No need to read.”

 The staff took out a piece of paper and said, "Read it yourself."

The Three Musketeers were stunned, and quickly took the white paper and looked at it, and they were suddenly filled with doubts.

Jiang Shou said, "There are no words."

Song Xingliang said: "A clean piece of paper."

Shang Zhirong said: "There must be something wrong."

Lin Zhibai also took the blank paper and took a look at it. As expected, as the three of them said, there was not a single word on it.

 My heart moved slightly.

Lin Zhibai suddenly showed the blank paper in front of the camera, and then said with a smile: "Can any of the viewers in the live broadcast room tell me how to solve this problem?"

  【Don't be funny. 】

  【There is no answer to the question. 】

　　【The richest man is skinny again. 】

  【Haha, this designation is wrong. 】

　　【Unfortunately, I still want to know what question Mr. Hu asked. 】

　　【Richest man, are you pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger? 】

　　【Are you really not good at the questions that Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang answered just now? 】

  【Still pretending to be low-key? 】

Everyone is still curious whether Lin Zhibai is pretending to be low-key today, or whether his crossword puzzle skills are really not as good as those of Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang.

Shang Zhirong said curiously:

“Brother Lin, why do you let friends in the live broadcast room answer questions? This is obviously a blank piece of paper, is it still a special way?”

"Maybe."

Lin Zhibai is mysterious.

Song Xingliang next to him was a little impatient, "Brother Lin, please don't show off."

Jiang Shourang was anxious, "Brother Lin, if you can tell the truth, we three swordsmen will each drink three glasses of wine today!"

 “I think you really want to drink.”

Lin Zhibai debunked the three people, but did not continue to be the riddler. He smiled and explained: "It is normal that Mr. Hu's question is special. In fact, it is a wordless riddle, and this piece of white paper is the riddle."

 “I don't read much.”

Jiang Shou stepped in and said, "Brother Lin, please make it clearer."

As soon as these words came out, the audience in the live broadcast room laughed. Is it okay for a well-known talent in Qizhou to claim that he "doesn't read much" in front of Lin Zhibai?

 “Let's put it this way.”

Lin Zhibai said: "What you see is a blank piece of paper, but is it really just a blank piece of paper? Of course not, it is a riddle, but there is no word in the riddle. Then remove the words around the riddle and find the answer." It's just [obsessed]!”

Jiang Shourang opened his mouth wide!

Song Xingliang's eyes widened!

Shang Zhirong's face was filled with astonishment!

 At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned!

Since there is no word in the puzzle, the words around the words should be removed. This idea of ​​solving the problem is like playing house, but if you can't figure out the logic, it will feel very mysterious!

　　【Sudden realization! ]     【One word wakes up the dreamer! 】

【Depend on! 】

　　【I was tricked by the richest man again! 】

　　【If I just suspected that the richest man was hiding his clumsiness before, now I completely believe that he is hiding his clumsiness! 】

　　【No, he is showing off! 】

　　【His pretense was "I don't want to answer the questions that are too easy"! 】

  【So he didn't grab any of the questions that Shang Zhirong and Song Xingliang could answer! 】

【Only when these two buddies can't answer the question, Lin Zhibai will take action. No wonder Qinzhou fans call him Lin Pretentious! 】

 This wave is really a sudden realization.

Song Xingliang and Shang Zhirong were convinced. He cupped his hands to Lin Zhibai and said, "It seems that in the charade game just now, Brother Lin deliberately made the two of us stand out."

"No no."

Lin Zhibai smiled and waved his hands, and the two of them laughed too. Then he kept his word and asked the staff to take out the wine and drank three glasses of wine in a row. Of course, Jiang Shourang also drank three glasses of wine honestly.

 “I'll have three cups too.”

Lin Zhibai felt that he could not be too isolated from the crowd. The Three Musketeers had all drank, so it seemed inappropriate for him as a fellow traveler to stay away from alcohol.

 “You may not be used to drinking Qizhou's wine.”

Jiang Shourang wanted to persuade him to drink less, but Lin Zhibai waved his hand and drank three cups directly, smacking his lips and saying:

 “It seems to have no taste, almost like tea.”

How to describe it? It was probably like the foreign wine I drank in KTV in my previous life. It tasted very weak and there was no beer to drink it with, let alone compared with liquor.

 “This thing has staying power.”

Jiang Shourang smiled and said: "But we Qizhou people are used to drinking this kind of wine, but we are not used to drinking the popular liquor in Qinzhou."

that's all.

A few people exchanged views on the differences in wine culture and got on the boat.

But the moment he got on the boat, the hull swayed left and right under the sudden weight, and Lin Zhibai suddenly felt dizzy.

 I don't seem to get seasick.

Lin Zhibai sat down in confusion.

 He suspected that it was the stamina from the three glasses of wine just now.

Jiang Shourang didn't lie to himself. This thing does have a lot of staying power, unlike liquor that reminds you not to drink too hard after the first sip.

“Brother Lin, does he know what kind of lake this is?”

 “It seems to be called Dongting Lake?”

“That's right, because Dongting is just across the river.”

Jiang Shourang is obviously the talkative one among the Three Musketeers, but because of the crossword puzzle interaction just now, Song Xingliang and Shang Zhirong also became closer to Lin Zhibai.

Song Xingliang said:

“I heard that Brother Lin is best at poetry and couplets. I just found out today that Brother Lin can even guess crossword puzzles so well!”

 “It's just word games.”

Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "Besides, some so-called word guessing puzzles are actually just brain teasers and can't explain anything."

 The literary world likes to compare poems and articles.

 Charades are usually entertainment activities.

In contrast, even if it is a couple, if you can come up with an awesome couplet, you can still get the reputation of "Eternal Absolute", which also shows that your literary talent is quite good, but who in history has relied on guessing? Are crossword puzzles immortal?

"Yes."

Shang Zhirong smiled and said: "Charades are just a word game. My personal favorite is poetry."

 “I love words the most.”

Song Xingliang said: "I admire the song "Ugly Slave" that Brother Lin wrote in the live broadcast room some time ago. What I am looking forward to most today is to hear Brother Lin's new song."

 “You have to keep a low profile today.”

Lin Zhibai smiled and said, "We made an agreement with the audience."

　　【Bah! 】

　　【Who told you this? 】

　　　【Please speak louder! 】

  【I still like your unruly look! 】

　　【Can you recover? 】

　　【The charade you just guessed is not called being low-key, that is called pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger! 】

　　【You have been keeping a low profile like this, but if you turn a high profile, why don't you just ruin the poetry meeting today? 】

 “Poof!”

Jiang Shourang didn't know when he got up, but he had already taken out his mobile phone and entered Lin Zhibai's live broadcast room. He laughed after seeing the comments:

 “Brother Lin, your fans are telling you to keep a high profile.”

 “I'm a little dizzy now, you can interact with them first.”

Lin Zhibai was really a little dizzy. The boat rocking left and right was actually quite artistic, but he couldn't help it now that he was a little drunk.

 “Then you rest first.”

Jiang Shourang has a fun-loving temperament, and he actually started chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room. After a while, he was prompted by the barrage to trick Shang Zhirong into writing a poem.

Shang Zhirong is also interesting.

He said nonsense: "The three swordsmen in the Qizhou literary world are not as good as Brother Lin in poetry and prose. Unexpectedly, three glasses of peach blossom wine actually taught Bai Di how to be a good person."

【Ha ha ha ha! 】

　　【Three glasses of peach blossom wine will teach Bai Di how to behave! 】

　　【The Three Musketeers are so funny. 】

　　【Literary talent cannot be compared with alcohol consumption, right? 】

　　【Unexpectedly, the richest man's weakness turned out to be his ability to drink! 】

　　【Did you, guests of Lishan Tour, see that the richest man also has weaknesses? 】

Although Lin Zhibai was dizzy from the drunkenness at this time, he was far from broken. Of course, he also heard Shang Zhirong teasing himself with limericks, and said with a slight blush: "What a bad poem."

 “Then come on.”

Jiang Shourang smiled and encouraged Lin Zhibai.

Lin Zhibai said in a drunken voice: "The Bai Emperor wrote hundreds of poems about drinking wine. He went to sleep in a restaurant in Chang'an City. The emperor couldn't get on the boat because of the emperor's call. He claimed that I was a wine immortal..."

Um?

Jiang Shourang laughed loudly and said: "I believe you can write hundreds of poems, but just drink a bucket of wine. Besides, this is Shencheng, not Chang'an. As for the Immortal in Wine, Brother Lin, you can actually lie to me, but let's not I also lied to myself..."

  Finished laughing.

Jiang Shou asked monk Zhirong and Song Xingliang to quietly approach the camera, bared their teeth and said:

 “Damn, this poem is awesome!”

 “Why do you write so well!”

“Damn it, is this the most talented person in Qinzhou!”

Lin Zhibai's short poem clearly shocked the Three Musketeers!

The gold content of this poem cannot be compared to that of guessing charades. It contains a literary spirit, and even more arrogant domineering!

【Ha ha ha ha! 】

　　【Concise and concise recognition! 】

　　【This is the most unpretentious praise of the richest man from the three swordsmen of Qizhou literary circle! 】

　　【These three guys are making me laugh to death. You are also very talented people. Why are you talking so much that you are so awesome? 】

  【Mainly, this poem is really cool! 】

　　【Obviously we all know that the richest man is a pure braggart. 】

　　【Normal people read this poem, netizens: I believe it if you drink a bucket of wine, just forget it if you write a hundred poems. 】

　　【The richest man wrote this poem, netizen: It's not difficult for you to write hundreds of poems, but let's not brag about drinking. 】

　　【You almost fell down after three glasses of wine! 】

Lin Zhibai probably never imagined that one of his poems could have such a program effect.

 In fact, what he read was Du Fu's description of Li Bai. In other words, it was Lao Du playing Lao Bai.

However, Lin Zhibai is thick-skinned and uses it directly on himself. It doesn't matter whether it conforms to reality or not. Why is the poem a bit exaggerated?

 Besides, everyone knows it.

This poem is an artistic exaggeration, especially in the last two lines of the poem, "The emperor couldn't get on the boat despite being called, so he claimed that he was a wine-drinking immortal."

Where did the emperor come from in this era?

However, the audience in the live broadcast room completely got the artistic conception of these two sentences.

Or in other words, everyone can feel the faint aura of this poem, and there won't be anyone who really thinks it's out of touch with reality.

“I seem to hear someone calling me handsome behind my back.”

When the three of them were sighing, Lin Zhibai came over without hesitation.

"take a good rest…"

Jiang Shourang smiled and said: "The poem just now is really amazing, we are convinced."

Shang Zhirong hummed and said, "Actually, it's not much better than my song. Brother Lin is bragging, but I am seeking truth from facts."

 “Then let's compete again.”

Jiang Shou glanced at the barrage. There was a message in it that said "Quickly trick the richest man into writing more poems", and his eyes suddenly turned.

  “Comparison is a comparison.”

Of course Shang Zhirong knew that he was a green leaf now, but it didn't matter. Although he was good at poetry, it was normal for him to lose to Lin Zhibai.

  How about being a backdrop in Lin Zhibai's poem!

 Don't think that this background board can be used by anyone who wants to.

It is such a rare opportunity to meet Lin Zhibai writing new poems, and to have some connection with his new works!

 Just like the song just now.

 When everyone talks about it in the future, they will remember that the reason why Lin Zhibai wrote that poem was because he was ridiculed by the Three Musketeers of Qizhou.

Doesn't this mean that the Three Musketeers of Qizhou have become popular in disguise?

 In fact, the most attractive ones are those that can make top poets write "Gift xxx" in the title, and they will be famous forever!

But the Three Musketeers don't have such high aspirations for the time being.

 Even if it is used as a background board, I will be satisfied with a little popularity.

So Shang Zhirong pretended to be aroused and read another poem, this time more serious: "Walking with the moon in the mountains at midnight, green lotus flowers bloom in the small garden to the west. The sky is fragrant, the wind is dewy, the flowers are cold, The clouds are in Qingxiaohe's future.”

 “What a poem!”

Jiang Shourang was amazed.

Song Xingliang said: "This poem can be called one of Xiao Shang's best masterpieces!"

Shang Zhirong smiled and said: "I specially prepared this poem for the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival. If I read it again when the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival begins, you must pretend to be hearing it for the first time."

　　【Poof! 】

　　【Cute! 】

　　【These Three Musketeers are so fun. 】

  【It is different from the literati in my impression. 】

　　【On the contrary, he is the richest man. You can play with them. 】

  【Mainly not pretending. 】

　　【The poem was written long ago, and people did not hide it. 】

　　【But this poem is really good. 】

Shang Zhirong looked at Lin Zhibai, "Brother Lin, please come!"

Lin Zhibai waved his hand and said, "Your poem is very good, so I won't show off."

Shang Zhirong couldn't laugh or cry, but Lin Zhibai actually had no intention of competing with him.

He couldn't tell for a moment whether Lin Zhibai had no inspiration or was unsure of defeating him, or whether he wanted to keep a low profile and hide his clumsiness and was unwilling to attack himself.

certainly.

If Lin Zhibai used the poem just now, he would have lost after all, so Shang Zhirong didn't bother.

On the contrary, Jiang Shourang said rather regretfully: "The deception was not successful. Did that poem just drain him dry? What about the hundred poems about Bai Di's wine fight that we just agreed on?"

"that is."

Song Xingliang also grinned and said: "After three glasses of wine, why should we have three poems? He just sent us away with just one?"

 “Mainly because Brother Shang's poems are good.”

Lin Zhibai's eyes were slightly drunk and he said: "I admire you in my heart."

The fact is that Lin Zhibai thinks these three brothers are good, and there is no need for him to always grab the limelight. Anyway, no one will question his poetry level. Besides, he also read one just now, right?

Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, and Lin Zhibai will definitely have the opportunity to take action later. He has now begun to think about which poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival to use tonight.
