Chapter 229: Boldly Facing the Battle
The person who spoke was not someone else, but Xiao Yun. Seeing that these three Tibetan monks were too few, he adhered to the concept of 56 ethnic groups in later generations, he couldn't help but say a few good words when he stepped forward. He thought he would be spitted to death by the Han people's spitting stars, but he didn't expect these Han people to ignore it. After hearing what Xiao Yun said, many people began to shout: "Yes, this little brother is saying very well. If you have real talents and knowledge, we will be convinced if you win two games!"
The Tibetan monk had a calm face, and his half-open and half-closed triangular eyes glanced at the scholar's face, thinking: "It's rare to win back some face in front of the Han people today. If he can win another game, he will definitely convince these Han people. My Tibetan monk also showed his face a lot! Besides, the old Taoist Li's literary and martial arts are above others, so he can't even show it. It's unlikely that others will come!" Thinking of this, his gloomy face slowly rippled, and I thought the scholar in front of him would be the protagonist of the next game. Look at his demeanor and expression are different from ordinary people. It seems nothing to others. In his eyes, the calm and leisurely look is not something that everyone can pretend. He laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I'm better to obey your orders. I'll just accept you!"
"Master..." The disciple on the right cried out with some concern when he heard the Tibetan monk's fight. The Tibetan monk raised his hand slightly and stared at the scholar and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Since it's a competition, there will be both losses and losses. If I lose, I can only blame me for not being good at studying. I will learn again when I go home. If I win...hehe...?"
The scholar also laughed and said, "What the master said is that victory or defeat is common in military affairs, and winning or losing depends on one's ability. The master is the guest. The so-called master follows the guest's will. I hope the master will give a question in this game?"
When everyone saw the competition, they stopped talking and retreated one after another. The originally narrow venue suddenly became much bigger. Xiao Yun stood in the crowd and saw everyone retreating consciously, turning their bodies, trying to retreat with the crowd. Suddenly, in the middle of the crowd, the scholar shook the paper fan and turned around and shouted to Xiao Yun: "Little brother, please go slowly?"
Xiao Yun didn't know that he was calling him, so he took a step and continued to retreat with the crowd. He was about to leave the crowd. The scholar suddenly shook his paper fan and jumped over. He stood ten feet away from Xiao Yun and shouted with a smile: "Little brother, please stay?" He didn't speak loudly, but he saw that the crowd was talking and moving his footsteps were pressing down. The tiles on the roof trembled slightly. The Tibetan monk's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself: "This person is indeed not simple?"
At this moment, Xiao Yun could hear it clearly, shook his left and right, then he stretched out his right hand and pointed his finger at his face and asked, "Is this brother calling me?"
The scholar nodded and said, "That's right!" Looking at Xiao Yun's innocent look, the scholar continued, "Without little brother, how can you win in three games and two wins!"
When he heard that the scholar called him to participate in the competition, Xiao Yun suddenly shook his head like a rattle, and kept shouting: "Brother Tai misunderstood. I'm not very good at learning. It's really hard to compare with Brother Tai. Brother Tai should find another expert, right?"
The scholar's eyes shining with his tiger eyes, staring at Xiao Yun and said, "You don't have to be polite, even if you come to the competition, victory or defeat is a common thing for military affairs, just take it as a fun?"
Xiao Yun said to himself: "Damn it, you look at it dozens of eyes, but you are having fun?" Then he thought: "By the way, that old Taoist has lost one game, he is the second game, look at his expression to win the second game, isn't I the bottom of this third game? Could it be that he wants to find someone to take the blame?" Thinking of this, he made up his mind and couldn't come out.
Seeing that Xiao Yun couldn't come out for a while, the crowd began to riot, and many people even began to insult. Look at this scene, the disciple on the right side of the Tibetan monk said with a smile: "Master, look, this Han man must be afraid of the master. Look at that person, he was called for a long time and did not dare to come out to fight. There is no need to compete in this third game, the master will definitely win, hahaha..."
"What I mean is that most Han people are deceivers of the world and have no real talent. Those so-called talents have no ability except cheating, cheating, and cheating, and their masters are knowledgeable and talented. How can these ignorant Han people not be afraid of it!" Seeing that Xiao Yun was not out, the disciples on the left of the Tibetan monk also began to agree.
When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison. Several old Taoists in Zhenwu Hall were particularly angry and shouted to compete again. At this moment, Xiao Yun suddenly heard a loud shout: "Grandpa, who said I was afraid of me? Who would be afraid of whom?" This loud shout was like a bell, which only shocked everyone's ears.
The scholar saw Xiao Yun shouting like this and was very thunderous, and he thought to himself: "It's indeed a character, it seems that I didn't miss it!"
Xiao Yun shook his sleeves and walked out of the crowd. In the crowd, Lu Chuchu looked at Xiao Yun's expression and his pretty face was already as beautiful as a peach blossom.
The Tibetan monk did not expect Xiao Yun to fight, nor did he expect Xiao Yun to shout loudly, like a bell and as powerful as a river. He couldn't help but take a look, staring at Xiao Yun and said, "Since you are fighting, then start?"
Xiao Yun came out of the crowd just after anger. He was really going to fight, but he still felt his scalp numb, especially in the fight. If it was a fight in the martial arts, he could fight with his own confidence in the sword-killing method. Wen Dou would be too impressed. Not to mention that he could not even memorize several Tang and Song lyrics, even if he memorized all Tang and Song lyrics, it would be useless. These literati and poets were very particular about answering on the spot. They really had to rely on Tang and Song lyrics to deal with it. I was afraid that they would show their strength in less than three minutes! "When I think of this, Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel anxious. He walked to the scholar and pulled his sleeve slightly and said, "Brother, I'm just a little bit unintentional, a while...?"
The scholar seemed to see Xiao Yun's concern, laughed and said, "It's okay, just deal with it!"
Everyone was worried about Xiao Yun's face with a frown and his face was filled with worries, especially Lu Chuchu, whose pretty face was so nervous that it almost turned white.
On this side, the Tibetan monk saw it, laughed and said, "It turned out to be an impulsive guy. It seems that he will win today!" I knew that the scholar would never ask the question first, so he coughed twice, and said, "Sir, you can hear it. What I am comparing today is a couplet. You only need to be concise and profound, neat in the parallelism, and coordinated tone? Do you have any opinions?"
Others were fine, but Xiao Yun was shocked when he heard this and said to himself: "Isn't this a couplet? Did couplets become popular in the Yuan Dynasty?" He couldn't help but frown.
The scholar looked at Xiao Yun coldly, and saw that his expression was strange, he shouted with concern: "Little brother...Little brother..." Xiao Yun had not yet come back from his surprise, and suddenly heard the scholar's call, thinking that it was his answer, and hurriedly said: "What's the right thing?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd suddenly burst into laughter. Only the scholar looked at him in surprise and said to himself: "This person has some knowledge. He actually knows that the Tibetan monk is talking about the right thing. It seems that he will be able to compare in a while!"
Couplets actually ranged from the Qin Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In ancient Chinese poems and essays, some relatively neat parallel sentences appeared very early. Several ancient songs that have been passed down to this day have already begun. Such as "Drilling a well and drinking, plowing a field and eating", "working at sunrise and resting at sunrise". As far as the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, parallel sentences were common. There are already some neat parallel sentences in the hexagrams and lines of the Book of Changes, such as: "You can see invisible, and you can walk in a lame way."
"("Lu" hexagram "Six Three"), "First ascends to the sky, and later into the earth." ("Mingyi" hexagram "Shang Six") The neat sentences in "Yi Zhuan" are more common, such as: "Look up and observe astronomy, and look down and observe geography." ("Xici Xia Zhuan"), "The same sound corresponds to the same qi, the same water flows wet, the fire becomes dry, the clouds follow the dragon, the wind follows the tiger... Then each follows its kind." (Qian amp;#8226; Wenyu Biography)
.
The Book of Songs, written in the Spring and Autumn Period, has a very rich parallel sentence structure. Even the Book of Songs contains a lot of couplets, but after the Han and Southern and Northern Dynasties, parallel prose was popular, which later influenced China's literary history for thousands of years. Couplets were also influenced by it, and the couplets of parallel prose style were fully exerted in the long couplets of the Qing Dynasty. This style did not appear many before the Qing Dynasty, so ordinary people didn't know it.
The crowd laughed for a while before the quietness came back. Everyone looked at the Tibetan monk curiously. The Tibetan monk was very proud and clasped his hands together and didn't know what to say in Tibetan. Then he said loudly: "Master Li had not met my friend's partner yet, so I used this to answer the second question, okay?"
As soon as these words came out, many people in the crowd began to shout, and many people shouted: "Shameless, how can one pair be two pairs, and re-set the questions and compare them..."
The scholar put away the paper fan and slapped the crowd. The crowd immediately calmed down and turned his eyes to the scholar. The scholar smiled and said, "It's okay, the master just asks the question?"
"Okay, it's good!" The Tibetan monk laughed, and his laughter was a secret movement of internal energy. He suppressed the scholar's voice, which made the lights of the hall sway. Everyone's faces changed drastically. They looked at each other and thought: "I didn't expect that you, the Tibetan monk, are not only very literary, but also possess unique skills. It seems that you really can't underestimate him!" In an instant, the huge hall could only hear the Tibetan monk laughing loudly.
