Great Blue Night Watchman

The man in blue, first on the right, smiled: "There are many celebrities who are uninhibited, and I can't be fooled by my honesty! The unparalleled and elegant Third Young Master Lin is really impressive."

Celebrities are uninhibited!

The best step!

The atmosphere at the scene, like solid ice, broke through a crack.

Lin Su raised his eyes: "Your Excellency is..."

"A direct disciple of the Taoist Holy Family, Li Xu!"

The Taoist Holy Family? Direct disciple?

Lin Su's heart suddenly moved. Zhang Wenyuan wanted to marry the Holy Family, and the marriage was with the Holy Family of Dao Sheng. During the palace examination, it was said that a direct lineage son had come to the capital and gave Zhang Hongsheng a Tao exemption order and asked him to participate in the scientific examination. Could it be him? ?

Today's rightful owner has arrived, the one who settles accounts after the fall.

"It turns out that he is a disciple of the Taoist Holy Family, and he is indeed very majestic!" Lin Su raised his hand and said, "Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you!" Li Xu also lightly arched his hands: "Xu Yuan has heard of Brother Lin's name many times in the Western Border. When I saw him today, he was indeed very charming. I wonder if I can ask Brother Lin for advice?"

Everyone was surprised and happy. People from the Holy Family personally asked him for advice?

Of course this is not a consultation, but a discussion!

One is a literary legend.

One is a mysterious descendant of the Holy Family. Top masters compete with each other, it’s interesting!

A smile appeared on Lin Su's face again: "Brother Li, how do you want to ask for advice?"

Li Xudao: "Brother Lin must be the best at poetry, but among the people there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There is one person who wants to compete with Brother Lin about poetry."

"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the people. Brother Li's words deeply resonate with my heart. A year and a half ago, I, Lin, didn't even have any literary roots. Am I not a member of the public?" Lin Su said: "I wonder who this person is?"

A person stood up in front of the third prince, it was Du Qing.

Dressed in white as snow, with a romantic attitude...

Lin Su smiled: "I have heard for a long time that there is a person beside His Highness the Third Prince. Although he is a commoner, he is extremely intelligent and literary. He can enter the court if he takes a step forward, but he is a hermit if he takes a step back. Could it be your Excellency?"

"The third young master is so ridiculous that Du Qing is too embarrassed to deserve it!" Du Qing said: "Three days ago, Du Qing went with the prince to fulfill his vow at Lingyin Temple. He happened to have a dream while sleeping in the wing, and he felt it for a moment and wrote a poem to pay tribute to the young master."

Lin Su smiled: "Please!"

"The bright moon frightens the crows with dead branches, and the breeze frightens the cicadas in the middle of the night. Once upon a time, the stars and rivers fell into old dreams, and thousands of mountains stretched all the way to the south of the sky."

What a poem, with endless energy and unparalleled artistic conception.

Dreams represent ambitions. His dream of Tiannan reflects the ambition of the third prince. The ambition to be an emperor is called "Tiannan's ambition"! He was conveying to everyone in a subtle way that the third prince aspired to a great position and that they should be loyal to the third prince in a timely manner.

Someone next to me wrote this poem with gold paper and precious pen. The poem was colorful!

Zhang Haoran and others were all shocked. Du Qing's poetic talent was so great? How can a commoner write colorful poems and make scholars all over the world feel embarrassed?

This is not just an expression of ambition, it is also a challenge to Lin Su. If the next poem Lin Su writes is not good, then his reputation as the number one scholar will be tarnished.

A colorful poem contains several meanings, so cruel!

How does Lin Su accept the move?

Lin Su just smiled: "What a poem!"

Gone!

Du Qing smiled and said, "I hope Brother Lin can give me some advice."

"Although Brother Du is a commoner, he has an upward gaze and high aspirations. Lin is a country boy at heart, and he focuses more on the countryside. How about using Brother Du's poem to create a new word brand?"

Zhang Haoran and Qiu Mochi looked at each other and caught the excitement in each other's eyes...

Borrow the other party's poem and create a new word card?

What a big deal it is to open a word card? Just talking and laughing?

Du Qing was also stunned: "Brother Lin is talking about... a new word card?"

"Exactly!"

"Brother Lin's talent is beyond words? Please!"

Everyone stared at Lin Su. Lin Su raised his hand and the gold paper came out: ""Moon on the West River. West Mountain"..."

Sure enough, it is a new word card, the word card is called Xijiang Moon...

"The bright moon leaves the branches startled by magpies, the breeze blows in the middle of the night, the cicadas chirp, the fragrance of rice flowers talks about a good year, and I hear the sound of frogs. There are seven or eight stars in the sky, and it rains at two or three o'clock. In front of the mountain, by the old Maodianshe forest, I suddenly see it at the head of the stream when I turn on the road."

When the words are completed, the colorful glow fills the sky and the earth.

Du Qing's colorful poems, the light suddenly converged.

The whole courtyard is filled with colorful lights formed by pastoral poetry.

Zhang Haoran stood up: "The pastoral scenes portrayed by Brother Lin are really vivid and interesting. Pastoral poetry has reached new heights!"

The third prince frowned, and his eyes intertwined with Li Xu's, and they both saw helplessness in the other's eyes.

They use Du Qing as a chess piece, aiming to suppress Lin Su's literary reputation. It can be said that no matter how you play the chess, you can win. Du Qing has no literary position. If you lose, Lin Su will lose your reputation, and if you win, you will be disgraced. , there can be no magic trick at all.

But Lin Su happened to make a strange move.

He borrowed the first two lines of Du Qing's poem, and after a slight change, he opened up a new word card, and it was also a colorful pastoral word that had never appeared before.

How can this compare?

Moreover, the artistic conceptions of the two people are completely opposite. Du Qing looks upward and focuses on his ambition.

His eyes were downward, focusing on the common people.

It seems that Du Qing is superior to him, but in fact it is the opposite. He focuses on the common people and has a higher artistic conception.

Du Qing bowed deeply: "I am impressed by Brother Lin's poetic talents! I am not a scholar at all, and I only study poetry part-time. My real job is to take care of some chores for His Royal Highness. I wonder if Brother Lin would like to discuss with me? arithmetic?"

This step is awesome.

He is not a literati, so there is no shame in losing the poetry competition. His main job is arithmetic, let's compete in arithmetic...

Bi Xuanji, Lu Youwei and others were shocked, comparing arithmetic? Are you a professional accountant competing with a literary genius in arithmetic? Do you want to be shameless?

Lin Su, please don't accept it. This Du Qing is an arithmetic wizard in the capital. He is in charge of all the accounts of His Highness the Third Prince. If you lose to him, others will use it to defeat you, no matter which field you lose in. 's literary title. Lu Youwei was so anxious that she wanted to pass a small note to him...

There was no way to pass small notes, and no way to communicate with each other through eye contact.

Lin Su nodded: "Comparing arithmetic? Okay, how to compare?"

It’s over!

After he agreed, everyone, including Her Royal Highness, felt gloomy...

The third prince finally had a light in his eyes...

"I have a question, I want to ask Brother Lin... There are eighty chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and there are two hundred and twenty-eight legs. What are the different sizes of the chickens and rabbits?"

As soon as this question came out, at least Zhang Haoran's heart sank. The bastard really knows how to ask questions. The questions about chickens and rabbits in the same cage are the most brain-burning. Every change of numbers is a new question, and his As soon as the question comes up, the number is so big. Who can calculate it in a short while?

The last time he gave Lin Su a question, Lin Su got a blank. The number of heads and feet was 30 and 88, and now the number has suddenly increased so much, making it even more difficult.

Lin Su smiled: "Brother Du, if a question like yours were given to the Lin family, almost every girl in my family would be able to calculate it. Do you believe it?"

Everyone was stunned.

Du Qing was also stunned and then smiled: "So, can Brother Lin give you an answer on the spot?"

"Of course!" Lin Su said: "34 for rabbits and 46 for chickens."

The smile on Du Qing's face was completely frozen...

The third prince was also stunned. Of course he knew the answer...

Unbeknownst to others, Zhang Haoran's eyes lit up: "The answer is correct!" He is also a genius in arithmetic. He used this answer to reverse the calculation and quickly came up with the correct answer. Lin Su's answer was absolutely correct.

How can this be? How could it be so fast? And he didn't use calculations at all, just mental arithmetic!

"Brother Lin, how can you calculate it so quickly? And there is no need to calculate at all?" Qiu Mochi said.

All the girls also stared at him with burning eyes...

Lin Su smiled softly: "This question is too simple, Brother Du, how about I respond to you like a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage?"

Du Qing was excited again. He felt that his highlight moment had also come. He was very familiar with the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage, and he also had a unique way of calculation. As soon as he came up with the topic, it was his own display stage. His reputation as Du Qing's arithmetic genius will also be heard throughout the capital.

"Brother Lin, please give me a question!"

Lin Sudao: "Let's try a new way of formulating the question...His Royal Highness Prince Ping, Brother Li, Brother Du and me, each of us will say a number, and together we will form the total number of chickens and rabbits, how about that?"

"It's interesting! Okay!" The third prince said: "2!"

Li Xu said: "2!"

Du Qing's heart beat, four digits? How can it be? You can only say one number: "6!"

Finally it was Lin Su's turn, and Lin Su also said 6.

The total number is 2266!

Lin Sudao: "Very good, the first data of chickens and rabbits in the same cage has come out. The total number of chickens and rabbits is 2266. Well, now it's the feet. Your Highness, please tell me a number first. This number needs to be greater than 4."

"6!" The third prince gave the second number.

The number given by Li Xu is 3.

Du Qing bit the bullet and gave 4, and Lin Su gave 2.

Finally, a complete question was formed. A chicken and a rabbit share a cage with 2266 heads and 6342 legs. The question is, what are the different shapes of chickens and rabbits?

Du Qing collapsed immediately.

Everyone collapsed.

Who can calculate such a big number?

I took all the calculations from Xishan Villa, but they were not enough to calculate...

Du Qing slowly raised his eyes: "Brother Lin, this is just a drinking order, not arithmetic. No one can solve this problem."

"Is it true?" Lin Su said: "I will give you the answer, there are 905 rabbits and 1361 chickens. You may wish to check the calculation."

Princess Yufeng asked someone to bring a large amount of calculation chips, and everyone on site checked the calculations at the same time...

After a full quarter of an hour, the results came out and the answer was correct!

The moment the answer was announced, Li Guihan's eyes were as bright as autumn water.

Everyone looked at Lin Su like a god.

The question was not asked by him, but by the three princes, Li Xu, Du Qing and himself. No one could calculate such a question in advance, but he, without any calculation, gave the answer accurately. , just to check the calculation, the arithmetic genius spent a full quarter of an hour...

What an amazing arithmetic talent is this?

There is no one in the world today who can match it.

Du Qing's poem was lightly changed into colorful words by him.

When Du Qing asked the question, he just changed the number and responded casually.

One word declares that his literary skills are unmatched.

Once he calculated, he declared that his arithmetic was unrivaled in the world.

Comparing poetry and arithmetic with civilian Du Qing, Lin Su was at a disadvantage from the beginning. Why? Because of the extreme asymmetry in their status, even if Lin Su defeated him, it would not have a shocking effect.

Lin Su, on the other hand, tends to create miracles everywhere.

Du Qing wrote five-color poems. If he wrote seven-color poems, it wouldn't shock people. But if he borrowed Du Qing's poems and developed colorful poems, it would shock people.

Du Qing asked arithmetic problems, but it didn't stump him. Even if he asked arithmetic problems, Du Qing couldn't be shocked. How did he do it? Still borrowing Du Qing's question, changing a few numbers, suddenly increasing the difficulty tenfold or a hundredfold.

What is this called?

In the field that you are familiar with, in the territory that you have carefully prepared, use your own way to defeat you in an understatement, and make you lose your temper even if you lose.

This is crushing on levels!

Absolutely undisputed crushing!

The easiest but also the heaviest crushing!

Thunder was rolling in Du Qing's mind, and he was deeply doubting life...

Li Xu smiled softly: "Although poetry and arithmetic are minor things, Brother Lin is so proficient in them, which shows that his reputation is worthy of his name...I wonder what profound insights Brother Lin has into the holy way?"

In the previous sentence, tonight’s two matches will be lightly skipped...

The last sentence is a new field: discussing Tao.

He is a member of the Holy Family, and his most profound field is the Holy Word.

Everyone was shocked at the same time. The genius of the Holy Family was about to take action himself.

Lin Su smiled slightly: "Holy Dao, Lin only has a superficial understanding of it. Brother Li is interested, so you might as well raise a topic!"

received!

Everyone is excited.

The profundity of the Holy Way is unknown to everyone in the world. Even if you are a Jinshi who has stepped on the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses, you are just a child of the Holy Way. One is Lin Kuangmo, the number one scholar in this year, who has repeatedly created miracles, and the other is a follower of the Holy Way. What kind of brilliance can a proud son of the Holy Family create with the same lineage of the Holy Path?

Li Xu said: "The Taoist Saint clouds: Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, Tao follows nature...what's the explanation?"

Thirteen words, the essence of Tao.

What’s the explanation? Everyone knows it, but no one dares to say that the answer is correct. This is the most mysterious part of the Tao. Different people, different Tao, and different understandings.

Lin Su said: "Brother Li, you might as well discuss it first."

Li Xu smiled softly: "Dharma is regarded as a law. Human beings follow the earth, earth follows heaven, and heaven follows Tao... Humans regard the earth as a law, the earth regards heaven as a law, and heaven regards Tao as a law... Therefore, Tao is the highest, followed by heaven, followed by earth, and human beings are the most insignificant..."

As he discussed the Tao, the brilliance shone in the night. He talked casually and his lips and teeth sparkled. This is the high level of Tao discussion...

Everyone heard what the master said. Even the third prince, when the direct descendants of the Taoist sage began to talk about Taoism, they sat upright and did not dare to slack off...

Li Xu concluded his discussion by saying, "May I ask Brother Lin if he has anything to add?"

This is the advantage of discussing first. Those who discuss first can explain the truth thoroughly, while those who discuss later can only supplement the arguments of the first commentator.

Lin Sudao: "Brother Li's discussion of Tao is very subtle. In Brother Li's opinion, these four sentences are just to distinguish the status of man, earth, heaven and Tao?"

In the eyes of the people of the Tao Sheng Holy Family, these words left by their ancestors mainly show the status of "Tao". The Tao is greater than the sky. Who among the people of the Tao Sheng Holy Family disagrees?

Li Xu smiled: "Although it is not intentional, this is the law of the great road."

Lin Sudao: "According to what Brother Li said, the four sentences are purely based on status. So, what is the meaning of 'Tao follows nature'? Literally understood, 'natural' is obviously higher than Tao, right? And nature But you belong to the earth, haven't you come back again? There is no way to justify your going around?"

Li Xu's eyes widened and he didn't know how to answer.

The earth is bigger than people, the sky is bigger than earth, and the Tao is bigger than sky. Now nature appears. Nature is bigger than Tao, and nature belongs to the earth. The circle has turned back, and it is impossible to tell who is bigger and who is smaller.

Those who discuss the Tao have confused the Tao...
