Chapter fifty-seven essay competition four

Although Li Pingyong prayed devoutly, God did not seem to have received his message. When Huo Xuesi announced the third first couplet, Li Pingyong was sadly discovering that he thought of Liu Hua again.

Li Pingyong clenched his fists with his hands and gritted his teeth at Liu Hua who was standing there reading the second couplet. He wanted to go forward and curse. Is there anyone so cheating? He didn't know why? He thought of an answer with Liu Hua three times in a row, and he was taken first by Liu Hua every time.

Liu Hua didn't answer this sooner or later. But when he wrote the second couplet and was about to raise his hand, he suddenly jumped up and asked for a quick answer. But whenever Liu Hua finished answering, Li Pingyong could only think of another answer, because the answer he had just come up with was used by Liu Hua.

When it was the fourth pair of the first couplet, Li Pingyong was confused by Liu Hua's quick answer. As soon as Huo Xuesi announced the first couplet, Li Pingyong subconsciously raised his hand to answer. Seeing Liu Hua looking at him in surprise, Li Pingyong finally felt proud.

But the next moment, he realized that he had done something stupid because although he raised his hand very quickly, he had not yet come up with the second couplet. Seeing that everyone, including Kangxi, he looked at him with anticipation.

Li Pingyong smiled awkwardly, and then said aloofly: "Mr. Huo...that...what, I didn't hear the first couplet you read just now. Can you read it again?"

After hearing this, Huo Xuesi turned his head to look at Li Pingyong, and then pointed to him expressionlessly. It turned out that four huge banners had been unfolded there, and the fourth banner was the first couplet that Huo Xuesi had just read.

After seeing Huo Xuesi's actions and seeing the banner hanging there, Li Pingyong's face turned red in an instant. After laughing embarrassedly, he sat down with awkward expression, feeling that the eyes around him were staring at him. He covered his forehead with his hands in shame, lowered his head to think about the next couplet.

Seeing that Li Pingyong began to think about the second couplet, Liu Hua glanced at Li Pingyong from time to time. For some reason, Li Pingyong had been thinking a little longer this time than before. It only took about two minutes for Li Pingyong to come up with a second couplet, but this time, he actually took about four minutes.

Seeing that Li Pingyong had finally finished writing, Liu Hua quickly activated his superpowers to stop time for a while, and he ran towards Li Pingyong quickly. When Liu Hua saw the second couplet written by Li Pingyong, he was stunned.

Liu Hua finally knew why Li Pingyong had been writing the couplet for a long time this time. He was neither affected by the previous events nor because the difficulty of the couplet increased, but because he wrote two lower couplets at once this time.

It seems that Li Pingyong was scared by Liu Hua. He had already been robbed of the answer three times in a row. Li Pingyong was worried that such a damn thing would still happen later, so he simply did it all the time and just created two second couplets.

Then, I will choose one of two. Even if Liu Hua thinks about joining him, he can only use a pair of second couplets. In this way, he can at least use one pair.

Finally, Liu Hua was not immoral. Seeing that Li Pingyong was forced to come to this point, he chose a relatively neat second couplet from the two lower couplets as his answer, and he kept the remaining one for Li Pingyong.

After removing the superpowers, Liu Hua still raised his hand and answered. This time Li Pingyong learned his lesson. He knew that he could not compete with Liu Hua and was not as shameless as Liu Hua, so he simply stopped fighting and sat in his seat and listened carefully to Liu Hua's second couplet to see if there was any similarity this time?

Sure enough, a miracle happened again. The second couplet that Liu Hua read out was exactly the same as one of the two second couplets he thought of. Seeing this, Li Pingyong finally accepted his fate. After Liu Hua sat down, he raised his hand to read another second couplet.

In the subsequent competition, Li Pingyong worked hard every time, scraping his heart and racking his brains, and wrote two lower couplets with grievances, one for Liu Hua to answer, and the other for his own use.

This situation happened until the ninth couplet. In fact, when the sixth couplet was eliminated, only nine people were eliminated. However, until the ninth couplet, the extra person was still not wiped out.

Taking out the last couplet, Huo Xuesi sighed: "I just watched the competition of you guys. I really admire you. All nine of you are very talented. If it weren't for the competition system, only eight people could be selected. I really want all nine of you to pass.

However, only eight people can enter the rematch in this preliminary round, so even if the old man cherishes his talents, he can only ask questions again.

There is still a first couplet. If this first couplet is published, you nine still cannot be divided into the winner, then I will give a separate question. Please listen to this last first couplet: Inch of land is a temple, and the poem is about the poem next to the temple, and the poem says: The bright moon sends the monk back to the ancient temple."

After Huo Xuesi finished speaking, nine students, including Liu Hua, all started to think intently. Others were thinking about the second couplet, while Liu Hua was thinking about how to defeat the next person.

Now that he can hold on until now, he is purely cheating. If he doesn't have the ability to pause time, he will probably be wiped out in the first round.

Now this is the last couplet. If you still can't get rid of a person, God knows what questions Huo Xuesi will ask? To be on the safe side, Liu Hua decided to make another person on this last couplet, but who should I do?

When he thought of this question, Liu Hua turned his attention to Li Pingyong with great moral character. At this time, Li Pingyong had already written a second couplet and was racking his brains to think about the second second couplet. For some reason, he suddenly felt an ominous feeling, but he didn't know why he felt this way?

He looked up and saw that the people around him were seriously thinking about the appropriate lower couplet. Seeing that nothing unusual, Li Pingyong scratched his head in surprise, and then continued to lower his head to think about the lower couplet.

Time passed by minute by minute, and seven of the nine students, including Liu Hua, had already paired the second couplet. After the seventh student finished match, Liu Hua saw Li Pingyong's left hand wiping the sweat on his forehead, and the right hand holding the brush had already placed the brush on the pen holder.

Seeing this, Liu Hua activated his superpower without hesitation and ran to Li Pingyong quickly. Seeing that Li Pingyong had already written two lower couplets, Liu Hua memorized the neat lower couplet on the left, and then looked at Li Pingyong with guilt.

He silently said, "Brother, I'm sorry for you, who told you to be out of the way with me at the beginning? So I can only feel wronged that you will go down to watch the game. If you can't go down, it's probably my turn to go down."

Thinking of this, Liu Hua picked up the brush on the pen holder, held the couplet on the right in his hand and squeezed it into his arms.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Hua picked up the brush, imitated Li Pingyong's handwriting, and wrote down the second couplet he had temporarily come up with on another blank piece of paper on the right.

After doing this, Liu Hua ran back to his position. After removing the superpowers, he quickly raised his hand. After seeing Huo Xuesi nodding to him, Liu Hua stood up and replied:

"I'm not talented, so I finally came up with a second couplet. My second couplet is: Ten kings are used as Gui, Gui is used to divine hexagrams, and the hexagrams are: The rain clouds follow the past and the tip of Gui. The answer is completed."

After listening to Liu Hua's second couplet, Huo Xuesi whispered casually: "The first couplet: Inch of land is a temple, and the poem says, "The bright moon sends the monk back to the ancient temple. The second couplet: Ten kings make Gui, Gui divination, the hexagram says: The rain clouds follow the peaks of Gui. Well, it's right, it's very neat, and Mr. Liu is indeed unparalleled in talent."

After praising Liu Hua, Huo Xuesi saw that Li Pingyong also raised his hand, so he smiled at Li Pingyong and said, "It seems that Mr. Li has a second couplet. Today, Mr. Li's performance is a bit flawed. I hope that in the subsequent competition, Mr. Li can show his due level. Now the time is coming soon. Please tell me your second couplet."

Originally, Li Pingyong was already a little nervous when he saw that the time was coming, and Huo Xuesi's words just now added some pressure to Li Pingyong's heart, not to mention that Liu Hua reported the second couplet he had come up with in advance, which made him very angry.

Therefore, nervousness, pressure and anger, Li Pingyong was stimulated by such factors and actually forgot his lower couplet. He lowered his head and glanced at the two lower couplets in front of him. The left pair had been read out by Liu Hua, so he could only choose the lower couplet on the right.

Seeing Kangxi on the stage and a number of literary celebrities staring at him, Li Pingyong didn't have time to think too much, glanced at the lower couplet on the right, and opened his mouth and read the words on the paper: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. The student's lower couplet is: Hands for me, it's not to tell me, I'm dad, your question is really hard."

As soon as he said that, Li Pingyong suddenly felt something was wrong. He hurriedly picked up the lower couplet on the right and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he rubbed his eyes hard with his hands and looked at it unwillingly. Finally, he looked at everyone with a ghost expression.
