Chapter 1732 Upside Down
Long Jianji is undoubtedly a smart person.
He has a distinguished status and will end the game in person. It doesn't matter if he wins. He has no shortage of reputation. If he loses, he will become a laughing stock.
It is naturally the best idea to let Wen Bin and Fan Xingyun sit back and watch.
Of course, he did not want to completely stay out of the matter. It was certain that this fight would most likely go down in history, so it was just right for him to be the one making the proposition.
In addition, Long Jianji's literary literacy was extremely high. He was so convinced by Wen Bin and Fan Xingyun's analysis that he almost believed that Xu Yi's literary name was stolen.
But to expose Xu Yi's true face, the key lies in the proposition.
"Your Majesty, I can confidently pass the question. Please don't make any assumptions."
Fan Xingyun cupped his hands and said.
"Exactly, try to be as cold and remote as possible, so that you can watch the show when the time comes."
Wen Bin stared at Xu Yi and snorted coldly.
Long Jianji waved his hand, "Why is it so? Let's do this. I have an old work, and you can imitate it. There is no limit to the poem, and the meter does not matter, as long as you get the essence of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of white paper appeared in the dragon sword and palm, and a series of words fell on it.
But it is a short poem:
Beautiful songs of spring, beautiful brocade and beautiful texts.
Weaving sorrow and resentment, we will cherish you for a long time.
We say goodbye and share the same heart, and fill our minds with thoughts.
The fragrance of the green phoenix remains, and the golden screen reveals the dawn.
I'm far away in my dream, and I'm picking up words.
I cry and send echoes, but my poems are sealed and left behind.
"Show your ugliness, show your ugliness!"
Long Jian and Bao Quan said, "In order not to waste time, let's limit it to half a cup of tea."
The text was written in a huge size, and everyone could see it, but no one applauded it. The dragon sword did not show any embarrassment when he reached it, and he looked at Xue Zihan with a smile.
"Wonderful, wonderful! Indescribable."
Wen Bin suddenly folded his palms together and said to Fan Xingyun, "I wonder if Brother Fan can see the beauty of this poem."
Fan Xingyun pondered for a moment and said, "The words are clear and wonderful, the artistic conception is meaningful, it is really a good poem..."
He said this with his mouth, but he disagreed with it in his heart. To be fair, this poem was not even a poem suitable for the occasion. It was extremely mediocre. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, "That's not right, it's totally wrong. That's how it is."
Immediately, he bowed deeply to Long Jian and said, "Your Majesty, this poem is unparalleled. I am willing to bow down to you. I forgive Fan for not being able to finish it in half a cup of tea."
"Wen is willing to accept the defeat."
Wen Bin clasped his fists heavily, "Your Majesty's ingenuity is rare in the world. He is the best in the world."
Wen Bin and Fan Xingyun are famous for their literary fame. The two of them sang together, causing an uproar.
But such a mediocre work cannot deserve such high praise anyway, and there must be a monster when things go wrong.
Finally, someone saw the clues and heard a shout, "I understand, so that's it. This poem can be read backwards, from the last word back, and it's still a poem."
"What!"
"This is impossible!"
"sky!"
"…………"
"really!"
"As expected!"
"For fourteen years, King Yongdong lived up to his reputation as a mad man."
"…………"
Exclaims and screams came one after another.
In fact, it is a poem among the demon clan. No one has ever written poetry like this.
This poem by Long Jianji can be read forward or backward. It is really unique.
Amid the excitement in the audience, Wen Bin and Fan Xingyun looked at each other, and both saw regret in each other's eyes.
With their talents, they asked themselves that as long as they had enough time, writing such a poem should not be a problem.
However, Long Jianji took the lead and became a famous name.
However, this is fine. If such an ingenious proposition stumps me, the person named Xu will definitely lose.
At that moment, Wen Bin said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. Brother Fan and I both thought that we couldn't write such an upside-down poem in half a cup of tea. However, when people ask about their lover, they haven't given up yet. Everyone, please be quiet. Don't be surprised." I'd like to ask my lover about his poetic spirit, so that he won't have time to write a poem and blame you."
Long Jianji smiled and said, "With my lover's poetic talent, my little mystery should not be a problem."
"If the lover can't do it, wouldn't it be considered a tie? Haha, you have to know that our lover used to write poems. No matter what the subject matter, he could write it immediately with a wave of his hand, and every word is as beautiful as a brilliance. Such a talented person, it is certain I won’t be stumped, otherwise, we will have to wonder whether the so-called talented person who asked my lover is a talented person or a borrowed one, haha..."
Wen Bin laughed, as if he had won the battle.
Unexpectedly, before his laughter fell, a piece of white paper appeared in Xu Yi's palm. In an instant, a row of words fell on it, and he saw what he wrote: Falling snow, flying fragrant trees, faint red rain and light clouds.
The thin moon is filled with fragrant mist, and the flowing wind dances with colorful flowers.
As soon as the poem appeared, someone immediately read it backwards: "The flowers are dancing in the wind, the mist is fragrant and the moon is thin. The clouds are light and the rain is red, and the trees are fragrant and the snow is falling."
boom!
"You can really read it upside down in half a cup of tea!"
"No, it only takes a few dozen breaths to create this upside-down poem. It's like a ghost of poetry."
"If you don't attack it, it will break it. If you don't attack it, it will break it. Rumors are just rumors."
"Let's see who dares to say that the lover is deceiving the world and stealing his reputation. This upside-down poem was only published today. Whose copy is it?"
"…………"
Wen Bin and Fan Xingyun's faces turned pale, and their hearts were boiling.
Especially Fan Xingyun, he really analyzed Xu Yi's poems word for word, proving from a micro perspective that those poems could never have been written by one person.
But now Xu Yi wrote an upside-down poem in an instant, completely overturning his deep-rooted logical thinking.
After all, poetry can be copied, but how to copy poetry is reversed.
If it hadn't been for Long Jianji, even he wouldn't have known that there were people in the world playing with poetry like this.
Of course, even when he broke his head, he never imagined that behind Xu Yi stood a complete civilization.
The proliferation of poetry and articles has reached an unimaginable height. In that splendid civilization and thousands of years of literary history, what weird things have not happened? What genius with exquisite mind has never been born?
The whole place was in commotion for who knows how long, but it finally subsided.
Long Jianji rushed to Xu Yi and cupped his fists and said, "Asking for Love is indeed extraordinary. However, this poem was written extremely hastily and cannot be considered a masterpiece. It seems to be inconsistent with Asking for Love's previous talents. Although it is better than Wen Bin and Fan Xingyun, it is still good. Not worthy of my two-hearted understanding.”
Long Jianji dared to gamble with his two hearts, but he never thought that Xu Yi would win.
Because his upside-down poem was impossible to copy in just half a cup of tea. As long as Xu Yi couldn't do it, no matter whether he competed with Wen Bin or Fan Xingyun, the winner would be determined.
Asking for the lover's name will be self-defeating.
But now, Xu Yi actually made it in half a cup of tea. What's even more troublesome is that Fan Xingyun and Wen Bin got cold feet when they first came up. As a result, the situation became embarrassing.
But no matter what, he really didn't want to give his two-hearted knowledge to Xu Yi, but in full view of the public, he couldn't just take it back, he would always have to say something to show off.
"The quality was indeed not high when it was rushed."
Xu Yi smiled slightly and Long Jian felt happy and continued, "It's already extraordinary, it's already extraordinary. It took Long a whole hour to write this article."
In fact, he didn't know how many days and nights he had to hold it in before he managed to write such an article.
Unexpectedly, what Xu Yi said next made him completely dumbfounded.
