Chapter 331: Cross-shaped poetry?! Is this really not an inverse proportional function?!

Ye Xuan scanned the barrage passing by roughly and soon noticed the various questions from netizens.

Previously, he had also simply listened to the live broadcast classes of the four poetry masters.

The classes of the four poetry masters were mostly based on poetry theory; they were professional, but they also added a lot of dullness and boredom.

Since that’s the case, why not go the other way and start directly from the netizens' questions?!

With that, he casually pinned one of the more interesting questions and read it out slowly into the microphone.

"Poetry can form a circle; are there any other shapes?! I’m not making things difficult for you [Dog head]"

When reading the last sentence, there was a bit of playfulness in Ye Xuan’s eyes, and even his tone became meaningful.

If he hadn't seen the dog head at the end, Ye Xuan would have almost believed the ghost of this fan’s message.

This is simply setting a problem for himself, right?!

As Ye Xuan’s clear voice fell, the netizens in the live broadcast room were already booing as if watching the fun.

"Drawing a circle is already excessive enough; you want to draw a cross?! [Cover face]"

"This wolf ambition, as if afraid that others won't see it! [Cracking]"

"Ye Xuan: Why do I always have a bunch of fans who love to pit me [Dog head]"

"Laughed like a goose when I saw this question! Everyone is a talent!"

"I’m already looking forward to Ye Xuan’s expression of admitting defeat!"

...

Ye Xuan’s readers have always been used to loving and killing each other, and now they are joking one by one.

Usually, they only have the share of being abused by Ye Gouzi.

Now, if they can occupy a bit of lip service from Ye Gouzi, that is also a great victory!

At this moment, everyone felt that this barrage was just a fantasy.

After all, in the consistent thinking of the public, poetry is always neat and tidy.

Like palindrome poetry, such ingenious and clever poetic forms are rare.

Still want to use poetry to form other shapes?!

There is still a certain gap between daydreaming and dreaming!

Just when everyone was waiting for Ye Xuan to shake his head, they heard Ye Xuan speak leisurely.

"It’s not impossible; let me draw a cross for everyone."

Netizens: ???

The countless faces in front of the screen were suddenly stunned.

Are you kidding us?

How can poetry draw a cross?!

In an instant, the entire comment section was flooded by the surprisingly consistent question marks of netizens.

In astonishment, only these simplest, most plain, and unadorned symbols indicated the deep and strong confusion, incomprehension, and surprise in everyone’s hearts.

At this moment, the full screen of question marks fell into Ye Xuan’s eyes.

His expression was still unhurried, as if he could remain calm even if the sky fell.

Even if he didn't see the expressions of the people behind the screen, he could guess that everyone’s reaction must be—

Besides confusion, it was still confusion.

With a raised corner of his mouth, Ye Xuan picked up the whiteboard on the side and wrote quickly.

And while Ye Xuan was writing, the netizens were guessing.

"I want to see how Ye Gouzi ends this! [Dog head]"

"Can poetry really have so many tricks?!"

"Is it only me who feels that Ye Xuan is not joking?!"

"Agree with upstairs! Why do I feel that Ye Xuan is clearly an expression of lightness and wind?!"

Just as there were different opinions, Ye Xuan’s hand paused, and then he turned the whiteboard over.

And on the whiteboard, a clear cross was striking.

———Tang———

———Arrive———

———West———

Move horse people mountain see sunlight

———Water———

———Flow———

———Long———

Thirteen words neatly arranged like a cross appeared together, and the audience was suddenly confused.

The shape is indeed correct.

But where is this poetry?!

The netizens began to explore on their own.

Some racked their brains, thinking about which direction to start reading from.

Some secretly searched for the answer on Baidu, but found nothing.

"How to read this?!"

"Holy crap, this guy actually drew a cross?! But the problem is, where is this poetry?!"

"Exactly!"

"Small head, big question mark, is this guy kidding us?"

Not only the netizens were discussing, but many poetry masters behind the screen were also thinking hard about this strange cross structure.

At this time, as if sensing everyone’s questions, Ye Xuan in front of the screen smiled lightly.

"This is of course a poem."

"The first sentence, 'Tang arrives at the West Mountain, water flows long'."

As he spoke, Ye Xuan picked up the marker and drew a vertical line along the first word "Tang," finally stopping next to the last word "Long."

The first sentence of the poem took the order from top to bottom, which the netizens could understand.

The question is how to read it after that?!

With full of doubts, the netizens in the live broadcast room stared closely at Ye Xuan’s movements.

They saw the marker in Ye Xuan’s hand start from the word "Long," continue to bend an arc to the right, and connect to the word "Light."

At this moment, his voice continued to reach everyone through the microphone.

"The second sentence, 'Long water flows, mountain sees sunlight'."

The netizens behind the screen were suddenly dumbfounded.

As if saying: This works too???

However, Ye Xuan’s movements had not stopped.

Everyone saw Ye Xuan continue to follow the method just now, connecting the last word "Light" at the end of the previous sentence to the word "Move" on the far left.

"The third sentence, 'Light sun sees mountain, people and horses move'."

Countless netizens in the live broadcast room were stunned again.

Just when they hadn't reacted, Ye Xuan had already outlined the last sentence of the poem.

"Next is the last sentence, 'Move horse people mountain, arrive at Tang'."

"This is also a kind of poetic form, called cross-shaped poetry!"

As soon as the last explanation came out, it instantly awakened countless dumbfounded netizens.

These few words actually formed a poem?!

A series of simple and rude symbols such as exclamation marks, periods, and question marks flew out quickly.

The netizens who reacted first asked like this.

"Why did the inverse proportional function come out?!"

And as soon as this barrage came out, other netizens also reacted.

Under Ye Xuan’s simple four strokes, didn't he outline an x-axis, a y-axis, and two curves?!

Isn't this an inverted inverse proportional function?!

"Whoa, you guys can even recognize this!"

"When did poetry become a relative of mathematics?! I know my math is bad, but you can't play with my feelings!"

"Confirmed the look, this belongs to the poem I can't memorize!"

"I can write poetry too! Ancestor’s old home is in Shandong, East Mountain has a gate courtyard, courtyard gate has a home, you are me, I am your home ancestor! [Hands on hips]"

"Good wet, good wet, wonderful! Upstairs, if you want to quit the literary scene, I am the first to oppose it!"
