God of Taoism

  Chapter 617 Half a poem

The young man of the Kong family looked at Bai Cangdong, and said with a sneer: "I won't make it difficult for you, just say a simple sentence, if you can get it right within the time of one stick of incense, then you have passed the test. "

   As he said that, he ordered his servant to light a stick of incense. The young man of the Kong family looked at Bai Cangdong and said, "Listen well, my last sentence is a chessboard made by heaven, who dares to play?"

This sentence is not difficult, and it is easy to match it, but the difficulty lies in the courage. If the next sentence is not as good as the next sentence, it will be underestimated by others. The momentum is also suppressed, and then pass the next two levels, if the momentum is not as good as others, it will be a bit difficult.

  The so-called shaking the mountain and shaking the tiger is probably like this. In the first test of the Kong family, half of the test is literary talent and the other half is courage.

   Let’s ask the sky is like a game of stars and chess, how grand is this grandeur, and it is really not easy to come up with a sentence that can match it in a short period of time without losing the grandeur.

   "You can think slowly, don't worry, there is still a long time for a stick of incense." The young man of the Kong family looked down at Bai Cangdong, and all the Kong family members also sneered secretly.

This incense burner is also knowledgeable, the time for a stick of incense is definitely not short, it is enough to say such a sentence, but with this time, if the heart is weak, the heart will be impatient, and when the time comes to think of a sentence, it will be impatient. By the way, it doesn't matter whether his momentum matches or not.

  Besides, the incense of the Kong family is specially made, and it looks longer than ordinary incense, but this incense burns fast at the front, and a large part of it burns down after a while, which makes people feel more irritable.

   "No, it's just a sentence, so why think about it." Bai Cangdong didn't even think about it, he opened his mouth and said, "The ground is the pipa and the road is the string. Who can play it?"

Everyone in the Kong family changed their faces when they heard this. Bai Cangdong's next sentence was equally magnificent, and the words came out immediately, which proved that Bai Cangdong had the sun and the moon in his chest, which was beyond comparison with ordinary people. It's a cold.

   "I don't know if my sentence is correct?" Bai Cangdong couldn't help sighing secretly that everything is always connected to the extreme.

There have been people on the earth who have made such a couplet long ago, so Bai Cangdong can easily get it right, and this couplet is so famous, it often appears in various stories, and it also impressed Bai Cangdong, Until now, when I heard the last sentence, I thought of the next sentence.

  If Bai Cangdong was right, he would be right too, but he couldn't open his mouth like this, so he had to think for a minute or two.

   "You've passed this test." The young man of the Kong family snorted coldly, turned and retreated among the three sons.

Another young man from the Kong family came out, looked at Bai Cangdong and said, "You have matched your Dao sentence, and I will not make it difficult for you anymore. I wrote two poems before, you can continue with the next sentence." If you continue, you will pass the test."

"Please tell me." Bai Cangdong remained expressionless, he knew that the first test was just a shock, and now the real test is coming. The Kong family is a master of literature and Taoism, and their autologous writings have only been published. It can be said in Yuxu Palace. Wen Dao's first family is definitely not so easy to dismiss.

  This continuation of the poem is far more difficult than matching the sentences. As long as the sentences are correct and neat, even if the artistic conception is slightly worse, it can be considered as a pass. After all, every sentence is right in every way. As long as the format is correct, no one can tell whether it is right or wrong.

  But the continuation poems are completely different. Many people have a flash of inspiration and write famous sentences through the ages.

   There are many such examples in ancient China, and there are many good talks about continued poems, which are often passed down through the ages and are talked about by people.

   This is well-known, but if there is no success in writing a continuation, then it is not a good talk, but a dog-tailed continuation.

   This is the most unbearable for literati. They would rather write half of the poem than continue it indiscriminately.

Now that the Kong family suddenly asked him to continue the poem, even if Bai Cangdong thought about it with his ass, he knew that it must be the famous line written by the seniors of the Kong family. No one can continue the second half. .

  Although he knew that there were difficulties, but now Bai Cangdong couldn't say no, so he had to bite the bullet.

  Things are indeed as Bai Cangdong thought, the Kong family indeed has half a poem, and it is exactly what Bai Cangdong wants to use today to embarrass Bai Cangdong.

  The original author of this half of the poem is the senior Confucian who had a marriage contract with the old lady.

  Speaking of the senior of the Kong family, he was really a seed of infatuation. He loved the old lady all his life, and even saved the old lady from danger regardless of life and death. He was infatuated with the old lady, which can be described as moving.

  But the word love is really difficult to calculate with reason. No matter how good the seniors of the Kong family were to the old lady, the old lady just liked the Emperor Yuxu back then.

The seniors of the Kong family were infatuated with the old lady, and the old lady also loved the God Emperor Yuxu so much that she finally broke off the engagement and married the God Emperor Yuxu, which made the senior of the Kong family depressed and lonely in the end. For the rest of my life, I never remarried.

  Because of this, the old lady felt ashamed of that senior of the Kong family and felt sorry for the Kong family. Although she seldom took care of the affairs of Yuxu Palace these years, she always took good care of the Kong family.

   It's just that the Kong family hates her too much and doesn't accept her affection at all. Even so, the old lady still helps the Kong family whenever she can, completely out of guilt for the senior of the Kong family.

This half of the poem is about the old lady breaking off her engagement to marry the Empress Yuxu God. The senior of the Kong family wrote it casually, and only wrote half of the poem. So half a poem was written in Kong's family, and it was not continued until he passed away.

   Many members of the Kong family also tried to continue the second half, but many people with outstanding literary talents in the Kong family tried, but the results were not satisfactory.

  Because the first half of the sentence was written really well, and it was written based on the state of mind of the Confucian senior at that time, it really made people cry, and was moved by the infatuation of the Confucian senior.

  So those who continue to write later find it difficult to surpass the first half of the poem no matter how they continue, and it is even more difficult to match the artistic conception, so until now, the poem is still only half a paragraph.

  The Kong family wants to use this half of the poem to embarrass Bai Cangdong today, and it can be regarded as venting their anger for the senior of the Kong family, so that the descendants of the Bai family will also be ashamed.

  After all, Bai Cangdong is also a descendant of Emperor Yuxu, and it is indeed difficult for the Kong family to accept that the surname Bai wants to enter the Kong family.

  Since the old lady broke off her engagement to marry Emperor Yuxu, no one with the surname Bai has entered the Kong family's gate again. Bai Cangdong can be said to be the first one to open up the world.
