Freelance Artist Chapter 492

Chapter 492 The following is a confrontation between kings and kings!

Some couplet masters even only answered half of these 100 questions, but Lin Zhibai was able to answer them all, and his score was the highest in the first round. The difference is visible to the naked eye!

　　Continue.

  Xu Haiyun's score is out, 95.6 points!

 Li Bai's score was 93.3, ranking third in the first round.

This result made Xu Haiyun stunned for a moment. He subconsciously glanced in Lin Zhibai's direction. His reaction was already fast enough. He thought he would definitely be the first in the first round, but the result was still not as good as Qin Zhou's "right" The King of Kings.”

 Looks like it's going to be a tough battle today.

As the number one couplet master in Zhaozhou, Xu Haiyun has not met an opponent for many years. Lin Zhibai's appearance not only did not scare him, but also inspired his competitive spirit.

 As for Lin Zhibai winning the first round...

This does not mean that Lin Zhibai is definitely better than Xu Haiyun, it can only be said that Lin Zhibai's reaction is faster.

 Similarly.

Li Bai, ranked third, knew that his score was far behind Lin Zhibai and Xu Haiyun, but he did not panic.

 This is only the first round.

 The focus of each round of duel is different.

 Perhaps in the next round, it's time to show off your power?

On the other hand, the remaining seven people were in a bitter mood, including Mu Yefeng, the first person in the Chuzhou couplet, who couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

 Where is this couplet match?

 This is clearly a fight between gods!

Lin Zhibai, Xu Haiyun, and Li Bai are so fierce!

 It is estimated that the gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to these three people!

Although I am also the number one couplet person in Chuzhou, there is obviously a gap between the number one couplet person in each continent!

 Chinzhou.

 The audience watching the live broadcast laughed.

 “There's no pressure, I got first place in the first round!”

“This competition reminds me of the first time Bai Di participated in the couplet competition at Qinzhou Art Academy, where they were also killed indiscriminately!”

“That was the battle that made Bai Di famous in the world of couplets!”

“The first person in Chuzhou's couplets is quite good, and he is much worse than the other three first people.”

“Does Chu Ci still want to win a gold medal today!?”

 Qizhou.

 The audience is in a good mood!

 “Lin Zhibai is first, Li Bai is third, so solid!”

“It seems that the richest man is the first, and I feel a sense of security instantly!”

“Hahaha, let me tell you, the richest man's couplets are even better than Li Bai's!”

“Isn't the richest man going to buy hardware today?”

“Becoming a **** in the four major fields of music, chess, calligraphy and painting is already legendary. Isn't that enough for the richest man to become a real god?”

 Chuzhou.

 The audience almost cried!

 “Please, who can stop Lin Zhibai!”

“It doesn't matter if he is invincible in chess, calligraphy and painting. How come he is still so dominant when it comes to couplets?”

“I suddenly remembered that before, many people questioned Lin Zhibai for participating in seven projects by himself. Now it seems that this guy is omnipotent!”

"It doesn't matter if Makino Feng can't beat Lin Zhibai, why can't the foreign aid we hired with a lot of money can't beat Lin Zhibai!"

“Don't be anxious, this is only the first round, the focus is on the third round!”

 Zhaozhou.

 Many Zhaozhou audience's faces were burning!

“Can't even Teacher Xu Haiyun take advantage of Lin Zhibai?”

 “His accuracy rate is so high!”

“There are one hundred questions, and each question only takes ten seconds to think about. How did he get almost all of them right!?”

 “That's outrageous!”

 “I don't believe he can still be so ahead in the second round!”

 Middle-earth.

 The audience becomes more and more excited as they watch!

 “Lin Zhibai, the omnipotent god!”

“Qi Chuwen Dou has unknowingly become Lin Zhibai's personal show!”

 “He's going to rush for hardware!”

 “Come on idol, Lin Zhibai, I love you!”

 “I'm going to become Lin Zhibai's crazy fan if this continues!”

The process of Qi Chuwen Dou's competition seems to be Lin Zhibai's personal process of constantly attracting fans from various continents.

 And finished in the first round.

 Four couplet masters were eliminated.

 The atmosphere of the game quickly became tense after entering the second round.

The host said: "After the fierce competition in the first round, six of our teachers advanced to the second round. Next, I will introduce the rules of the second round. Each of our six teachers will set a question. There is only one chance to ask one question, and the remaining five people will answer it. The top three will advance to the third round. In addition, the person who wins the first place in this round will automatically enter the finals in the third round!"

 The meaning is very simple.

 The first, second and third place will advance to the third round.

 But there are three people in the third round, which makes it a bit troublesome to fight.

So the design of the third round is simply a showdown between the second and third place players in the second round. The stronger person will be able to compete with the first place player in the second round.

 After explaining the rules clearly.

 The host said: “First of all, I would like to ask our teacher Chen Ling to come up with a question.”

 Chen Ling, a contestant from Qizhou, was one of the six people who advanced to the second round. She nodded and started writing the first couplet.

 After writing the first word, Chen Ling stopped.

The audience was stunned. Why didn't she continue writing the first couplet?

The host was also stunned and said thoughtfully: "Has Teacher Chen Ling finished writing now?"

Chen Ling smiled and nodded. She knew very well that today's couplet competition was a fight between Lin Zhibai, Li Bai and Xu Haiyun. It would be difficult for her to enter the third round, or there was no chance of entering the third round at all. Then let go and play.

 “This is the only word in my first couplet.”

 Just one word in the first couplet, not to mention how difficult it is, rare is really rare, and barrages from all over the world expressed surprise:

"I go!"

 “Get up!”

 “So a single word can be used as a couplet?”

 “Is it a machine connection?”

 “I didn't see any mechanism.”

"OK."

The host smiled and said: "Teacher Chen Ling has already set the question. The remaining five teachers will each have ten minutes to think about it."

The competition timer has started. Lin Zhibai, Makino Feng, Li Bai, Xu Haiyun, and a Chuzhou player named Big Bear must write down their respective answers within these ten minutes.

Lin Zhibai thought for a moment and wrote down a word...

Chen Ling's first couplet is essentially a word-splitting game, and it won't be a problem for real masters.

as expected.

After Lin Zhibai, Xu Haiyun and Li Bai each smiled and wrote down their answers.

Of course, this answer cannot be revealed now. It will only be made public after ten minutes until a few people's second line.

But the audience is from God's perspective.

 What Lin Zhibai, Li Bai and Xu Haiyun wrote, they could see clearly in the camera.

 “Fountain?”

 “These three kings of couplets all wrote about springs!”

  “Why this word?”

 “I understand, this is a word splitting game!”

“When the ink is broken apart, it turns out to be black soil; when the spring is broken apart, it turns out to be white water!”

 “Black versus white, earth versus water?”

 “Excellent!”

"So that's it, it doesn't feel difficult at all. Is this the skill of the couplet master?" "You know the answer and then work it out. Of course you don't find it difficult. In addition, Teacher Chen Ling should know that she can't advance to the third round. So this first couplet is just a little game to play with everyone.”

 That's right.

 The answer is "quan". Lin Zhibai, Xu Haiyun and Li Bai all came up with this second line within five minutes.

Although Makino Kaze was a little confused, he thought for seven or eight minutes and finally came up with the answer, leaving Big Bear scratching his head in embarrassment.

 Obviously.

 Da Xiong is the only couplet master who was stumped by Chen Ling.

Just like that, ten minutes were up and the answers were announced. Lin Zhibai and the other four people each got ten points.

 “Congratulations to the four teachers!” After a pause, the host smiled and said, “Next, I'd like to ask Teacher Makino Feng to give a question!”

Makino Feng's expression was solemn.

Chen Ling could be in trouble, but he didn't intend to give up. He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and wrote a first couplet.

Makino Kaze's first couplet is:

 May 5th, September 9th, Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival.

As soon as this first couplet came out, the audience felt extraordinary.

The host smiled and said: "There is still ten minutes of thinking time. Five teachers are asked to complete the answers within ten minutes."

 Subsequently.

The voice of the live broadcast room commentary sounded:

“As expected of Teacher Makinofeng, I believe everyone can see that the meaning expressed by the teacher's first couplet is very clear.”

"The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is also called the Duanyang Festival, and the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the Double Ninth Festival. Therefore, although this first couplet only has ten characters, the same overlapping characters account for As many as 8!”

“That is, two fives, two nines, two months, two yang characters!”

Couplets are a bit of a barrier after all, so the organizer arranged explanations to analyze the power of these couplets.

 Audiences from all continents are talking about it.

 “It's so difficult!”

 “I don't know what to do!”

 “Plus one upstairs!”

“Don't say ten minutes, give me ten days and maybe I can figure it out.”

 “If you don't have that literary talent, it's useless if you give him ten years.”

"Ha ha."

 “It seems that several gods are stumped.”

 A few gods, of course, refer to Lin Zhibai, Xu Haiyun and Li Bai.

 After Makino Feng's first couplet came out, the three of them looked thoughtful, as if they had encountered a problem.

Are you almost done pretending?

Lin Zhibai deliberately waited for three minutes before picking up the pen and writing his second couplet.

 “Oh haha!”

 “The richest man has answered!”

 “But what does this second line mean?”

  “Tell me something important.”

 “Why didn't I understand?”

“Only those who understand the couplets know how well Lin Zhibai is right!”

 “Bai Di is awesome!”

The audience's perspective has already seen Lin Zhibai's second line.

 The content of his second line is as follows: In the first half of the first ten days, in the middle of the first ten days of the month, look at the sun on the first day of the new year!

Of course, the explanation started from God's perspective, but before the explanation, they first let out an exclamation:

 “Excellent!”

And then there is the boast: "Shuo Ri and Wang Ri of each month in the lunar calendar are at the beginning and middle of the first ten days respectively, so the second couplet written by Teacher Lin Zhibai is extremely neat. As for the meaning of Shuo Ri and Wang Ri, we have to start from Speaking of the sun and moon in ancient cognition..."

 There was a lot of explanation.

The audience understood it, but they didn't fully understand it, they just felt so awesome!

 Following this, Li Bai, Xu Haiyun and others also took up pens one after another and wrote their second couplet.

 At the last minute, Chen Ling wrote a few strokes. When the last ten minutes were up, everyone showed the second couplet.

Lin Zhibai's second couplet is undoubtedly the neatest!

 The second couplet between Li Bai and Xu Haiyun is a little bit different.

  Chen Ling's second line is quite reluctant. She wrote: February 2nd, March 3rd, Dragon's Birthday and King's Birthday.

 Each couplet is worth ten points.

 The judges finally gave this score:

Lin Zhibai scored 10 points, Xu Haiyun scored 9 points, Li Bai scored 9 points, Chen Ling scored 2 points, and Daxiong scored 0 points.

 This is a pair of pairs. Most of the time, there is no standard answer. Whether the second line of the second line is a neat pair of pairs needs to be judged by professionals.

 Chen Ling's second line almost didn't score.

 Because "May 5th, September 9th", it is indeed a bit forced to use "February 2nd, March 3rd" to correct it.

On the other hand, "Dragon's Birthday and King's Birthday" is no problem. These four words are probably the reason why the judges gave her two points to save her respect.

 Unlike Big Bear, ten minutes have passed and there is no idea at all.

Makino Feng sighed inwardly. He did not stump Lin Zhibai, but only created a slight difficulty for Xu Haiyun and Li Bai.

 The next question was given by Li Bai.

Li Bai smiled slightly and wrote the first couplet: Shama drills into the sand hole, and Shamu is surrounded by Shamamu.

 What is Shama?

Li Bai didn't explain it at all.

However, Lin Zhibai knew that Shama refers to sand crab.

 At the same time, the commentator immediately found the information and explained to the audience with a smile:

"Teacher Li Bai's first couplet mentioned the Shama. The scientific name of the Shama is Sand Crab. It is a type of crab. It is very good at digging holes in the sand on the beach. It runs very fast and is known as the The fastest invertebrate in the world can run at a speed of 3.4 meters per second!"

 Subsequently.

The commentator added: "However, the difficulty of this first couplet does not lie in the word "shama", but in the ten Chinese characters. Teacher Li Bai actually used four characters for "sha" and two characters for "horse" in a row, which is even more difficult than Makino Feng's couplet. I wonder if the others can answer it..."

Makino Feng frowned.

 He ​​didn't know what Shama was, but according to the literary analysis, it was probably a type of crab, so it was not difficult to understand the meaning of the question, but it was of little use just to understand it. Makino Feng had to think of a symmetrical second line.

Xu Haiyun does know what Shama is.

But Xu Haiyun also felt that this question was very difficult. He didn't have any good ideas in the first few minutes, and he didn't find inspiration until five minutes later.

As for Chen Ling, her eyes are blank.

Li Bai's first couplet was really tricky. Within ten minutes, she found it difficult to think of an answer.

 It was Lin Zhibai who took the initiative.

 About five minutes, he wrote these words: The buffalo eats water and grass, and the water buffalo's head is soaked.

This second line uses "buffalo" versus "shama", and also uses four characters for "water" and two characters for "cow", which can be said to be very neat.

The audience's eyes widened from God's perspective!

 “Fuck!”

 “I understand this!”

 “Awesome!”

 “Bai Di was the first to answer again!”

 “Neat and tidy!”

 “It's so neat!”

Lin Zhibai's second line does not require any explanation or explanation, unlike the previous "Thursday Day" that some people have no idea about.

But this time.

 It wasn't just Lin Zhibai who got ten points.

Xu Haiyun also successfully got ten points.

 Subsequently, Makino Feng scored five points, Chen Ling scored three points, and Daxiong also scored three points.

 The following is a question from Big Bear.

Perhaps because of Daxiong's level, he is at the bottom of this group of people. His questions did not stump anyone.

 Until Xu Haiyun asked the question.

 Finally, the difficulty came up again. His first couplet was:

Hungry chickens steal rice, boys beat them with straws...

As soon as this couplet came out, all the contestants frowned, including Li Bai, but Lin Zhibai narrowed his eyes.

This Xu Haiyun's topic is very obscure.

However, I, Lin Zhibai, am the number one scholar in seven provinces and a staff general, and I am known as the king of kings.

This question may be difficult for others, but it definitely cannot be difficult for me—

 “Crimson, save me!”
