Chapter 173 Killing and killing people?
Watching Wendou is a lot of fun.

Laymen can just watch the excitement and see how these scholars can use their mouths to make others lose their momentum and become depressed.

Those who are experts can follow the rhythm of the competition in the field, try to solve the problem according to the problem, and see how far the difference between themselves and the opponent is.

But facing this couplet, even if they racked their brains, they still felt helpless.

Just when they were at a loss, they heard Xia Jingyun's second couplet.

[Who knows that a villain's six viscera are sinister, and his five viscera are sour. 】

[It has the appearance of the four whites, and there is no observance of the three precepts. 】

Sibai refers to those with small eyes and white eyes on all sides. Usually, in physiognomy, this kind of person is a typical type of person who has a good brain but is cold and cunning, and uses unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.At the same time, it is a white lotus character who likes to pretend to be innocent and win the sympathy of others.

The three precepts have their own sayings, but according to the scholars here, they are abstinence from sex, abstinence from fighting, and abstinence from gain.

These four whites and three precepts hit Shi Zixian's life right!

Everyone looked at Shi Zixian's tiny pupils and couldn't help covering their mouths.

Hahahaha, this mouth is really bad!

On the second floor, even Qin Yuwen, who was forced to come here and had no interest in activities such as literary fairs, felt that Xia Jingyun's couplet was perfectly matched.

The steward of the Guangling Guild Hall is very good at business. After knowing that there is an activity of pairing, he immediately arranged for someone to transcribe on the second floor, so that these important people would not be able to remember.

The room where Qin Sichao and Qin Yuwen, the two young masters of Zhongjing, lived was naturally impossible to be forgotten. Two pieces of paper were placed in front of him. Qin Yuwen hugged his chest with one hand and rubbed his chin with the other, marveling.

Qin Sichao nodded with a smile, "The appearance of the four whites, the observance of the three precepts, the presumption of two minds, and the pursuit of fame. This Xia Jingyun has a sharp eye for people and precise words, which is really extraordinary."

In the side room, the woman looked at the two pieces of paper in front of her, read them again, and still thought they were very good.

Although it cannot be said that a single word of this couplet cannot be changed, even the mediocrity is debatable, but as she said before, the key is time.

To be able to come up with a neat and well-matched second line in such a short period of time, this quick wit is enough to make people amazing.

The housekeeper at the House of Minister of the Household Department clenched his fists violently, and said inwardly that he is worthy of the master's praise, Mr. Xia, this literary talent, this temperament, relieves his anger!

And people like Shi Zijun, British government officials, etc., are sluggish, slumped, and silent.

Bai Yunbian glanced at Xia Jingyun silently, feeling that he was too worried just now, what can be so difficult to defeat this monster!
Xia Jingyun, who gave the second couplet, actually felt a little sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect Shi Zixian to be so ruthless, and he immediately came up with a more than 60-character upper couplet. He really almost missed it. His mind was spinning so fast that he almost fainted. He wiped his sweat with his hand, and looked at the old professor who was hosting, "Sir, I don't know if this second couplet is still qualified?"

The old professor nodded immediately, "This couplet is right!"

"Brother Gao Yang is mighty!"

Xu Dapeng immediately shouted loudly.

Everyone in Surabaya Prefecture also cheered.

The people of Yunmengzhou also made noise because of the incident at Baiyunbian and the fact that they lost to Guanglingzhou.

People tend to have such a herd mentality. With this momentum, the other two states that lost to Guangling Prefecture also followed suit.

There were also some other good people mixed in, and for a while, Guanglingzhou became the object of ridicule by the crowd.

But Guangling Prefecture's own economy is good, and the candidates are all arrogant, and now that they have won consecutive victories, they are even more arrogant.

"What arrogance! This is just a match against Mr. Shi's Shanglian, it's not a win!"

"That's right, if Young Master Shi matches your Shanglian, there will be another round, what's so great about it!"

"That's right, Mr. Shi, quickly use your pair to kill him!"

Everyone in Guangling Prefecture fought back one after another, yelling that Shi Zixian should make them look good too!

Shi Zixian wiped his forehead, he knew his own family affairs, how could he be so good at fighting Xia Jingyun to death!
As long as Xia Jingyun can match the level of his pair, ten of them may not be able to beat it together!
But riding a tiger was hard, he had no choice but to pray that Xia Jingyun's question would be easier.

The old professor looked at Xia Jingyun, "Xia Xiaoyou, please come up with the Shanglian."

Xia Jingyun looked at Shi Zixian, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Lonely, cold, empty and widowed."

Shi Zixian nervously waited for the fate's verdict, when he suddenly heard such a simple couplet, he was overjoyed.

Everyone in the audience thought that Xia Jingyun would follow the same pattern and concocted an extremely complicated upper couplet, but they were stunned after listening to it. It shouldn't be, how could it be so simple?
Bai Yunbian didn't believe that this dog would be so kind at all, after thinking about it carefully, he immediately reacted.

"I'll just say it!"

Many people also immediately understood the problem, and couldn't help but gasp.

Lonely, cold, empty, widowed, this artistic conception is quite difficult to match.

The key is that all the radicals of this couplet are the same.

This is not much simpler than the couplet just now!

Shi Zixian saw that the expressions of the people gradually changed, and immediately realized that he hadn't figured out the way, so he chewed it again and almost cursed.

On the second floor, the butler of the British government had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, turned his head and asked, "Is this going to be difficult?"

Fortunately, among the group of housekeepers, there was someone who was proficient in writing and ink, so he explained it for everyone.

The corners of the mouths of a group of housekeepers in Xungui's mansion twitched. Why are these scholars thinking so tricky? Fortunately, they are uneducated and don't have to face these.

"Master Shi, don't think about it! The time is coming!"

Seeing that Shi Zixian was sticking like a stone, a scholar from Guangling Prefecture thought he was fascinated, so he reminded him.

As soon as Shi Zixian tapped it, it turned out that the hourglass was about to run out.

Hastily said: "I have a second line!"

The old professor nodded, "The time has not passed, it is effective, please publish the second couplet."

Where is Shi Zixian's second line? He just spoke out of desperation, but now his eyes are on him like a heavy burden.

He rolled his throat, racked his brains, and muttered:

"The sea is flowing. Oh no, the lotus and the reeds are luxuriant and the grass is lush, ah, that's not good, that river and lake is drifting and crying. Eh, wait, I will change another one. The lotus and the lotus root"

When the old professor saw this, he realized that the kid was shouting indiscriminately. He couldn't help but said, "The time has passed, and I will give you another chance to answer!"

Shi Zixian opened his mouth, thinking to himself, "It's wrong for a seductive nanny to marry a young son-in-law."

Amidst the roar of laughter, the old professor couldn't bear it any longer, and clapped his eyes, "Enough!"

"This round, Surabaya wins!"

"Great!"

Xu Dapeng immediately raised his arms and shouted, and the rest of the students from Sishui Prefecture also cheered and clamored loudly.

On the other hand, Guangling Prefecture was completely silent.

The scene two days ago reappeared today, but the subject and object changed positions, and the joy was reversed.

At that time, he was arrogant and domineering, but now he feels like falling into an ice cave, like being struck by lightning, like mourning his concubine;

The once lonely party is now clamoring again and again, high-spirited and joyful.

All this is because of the arrival of one person.

The disciples present looked at the man who was sitting calmly, without even showing any expression of surprise, and secretly engraved his appearance in their hearts. This is something that we can never make enemies with!
Shi Zixian really panicked now.

Because he lost two rounds in a row, he couldn't lose a round.

But according to the order of yesterday's competition, the third round was again long and short sentences.

Although they prepared a very unorthodox topic and carefully prepared a song, they are very confident, but since ancient times poetry is a family, what if Xia Jingyun creates another miracle in his most famous field?

Didn't he just get crushed?
Didn't he make a wedding dress for Xia Jingyun for all the fame he gained through all his efforts?

Thinking of this, Shi Zixian's hands hidden in his sleeves began to tremble uncontrollably.

The rest of Guangling Prefecture, even Shi Zijun on the second floor, had the same idea.

As far as Xia Jingyun's ability at this moment is concerned, even the most die-hard supporters of Guangling Prefecture dare not say that Guangling Prefecture will win in the third round.

Even if the question is set by Guanglingzhou.

On the other side, Xia Jingyun's supporters felt that the situation was very good, victory was already in sight, and the laughter became much louder.

People who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement don't feel sorry. Although there is no such excitement of a two-to-two tie and then a tiebreaker, it is also a very interesting thing to witness Shi Zixian, who was extremely arrogant a few days ago, being crushed and defeated.

The old professor glanced at Shi Zixian, and said, "The third round, long and short sentences, please ask Guanglingzhou to come up with questions."

Shi Zixian trembled, so he had no choice but to stand up bravely.

But he didn't expect that when he was about to push his heart forward, Xia Jingyun suddenly spoke.

"Shi Zixian, do you want to change the order of the competition?"
