Chapter 641
"Two golden orioles sing in the green willows, a row of white egrets ascends to the blue sky." Two against one row—vivid, lively, innocent, and interesting.
"The flying torrent falls straight down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven." Three thousand against the ninth heaven—exaggerated, unrestrained, and romantic to the fullest.
... "Six-three-seven"
"A thousand mountains, the birds' flight is cut off; ten thousand paths, human tracks are extinguished." A thousand mountains against ten thousand paths—loneliness fully exposed, desolation growing."
Following Ye Xuan's explanation, countless netizens in front of their screens had already begun to take action one by one.
Some netizens had already written down line after line of elegant handwriting in their exquisite notebooks.
Some netizens, fearing they might miss any key point and unable to wait for the live stream replay, started screen recording at the very first moment.
Others were completely immersed in the lecture, their eyes revealing a look of obsession.
At this moment, even the netizens who usually loved to joke about Ye Xuan the most had to admit it.
Whenever this guy Ye Xuan gets serious, there's no room for anyone else!
Just these few lines of poetry Ye Xuan said off the cuff—which one wasn't stunning and incredibly exquisite?!
If one were to use the words of a crowd of poetry masters, it would be that even if you traced back five hundred years, you wouldn't find a single person who could surpass Ye Xuan!
Unprecedented in the past, and no one to follow in the future—this is exactly it!
If Ye Xuan dared to claim he was second in the poetry world, no one would dare to say they were first!
Under the baptism of Ye Xuan's poem after poem, the netizens in the live stream room had already blown wave after wave of rainbow farts.
"You know if he's got it the moment Ye Xuan makes a move! 【Amazing】"
"I just want to shout out loud right now: Ye Xuan, you are my god! 【YYDS】"
"I'm so used to calling him Ye Gouzi, hearing him give such a serious lecture all of a sudden makes me a bit unaccustomed 【Crying】"
"This guy is giving a lecture so solemnly, I almost thought he had been replaced by someone else..."
"I seriously suspect this guy has a twin—one is funny, the other is serious 【Covering face】"
Just as the netizens were frantically expressing their rainbow farts, Ye Xuan had already recited poems containing the numbers one through ten.
He picked up his water cup to take a sip, moistened his throat, and then asked slowly.
"Does everyone have any questions?"
Seeing Ye Xuan effortlessly come up with a dozen eternal classic lines, a netizen in the live stream room joked.
"You just gave us a ten-character poem; can you come up with a poem that contains ten 'ones'?!"
As soon as this bullet comment appeared, it immediately gained the agreement of many netizens.
"Exactly, exactly! We should increase the difficulty! 【Dog head】"
"Exactly, exactly! You are the great poet Ye, after all; simple questions aren't worthy of you!"
"I don't believe that a mere increase in difficulty can stump our Ye Gouzi?! 【Proud】"
Seeing that many netizens were even using reverse psychology, Ye Xuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
These fans really don't mind the chaos.
Casually pinning the netizen's question to the top of the wall, Ye Xuan replied leisurely.
"What's difficult about that?!"
Before the netizens in the live stream room could react, Ye Xuan had already recited a poem by Su Shi from his mind.
"One sail, one oar, one fishing boat; one fisherman, one fishing hook; one bow, one lift, one burst of laughter; one river of bright moon, one river of autumn."
Once his calm voice fell, it was the turn of the netizens who had just been heckling to pause.
"?????!"
"The person involved: I just wanted to make a joke!"
"A second slap in the face! One moment I just wanted to make a joke, the next moment Ye Xuan helps you turn it into reality???"
"How is Ye Gouzi's reaction so fast? How did he think of it all of a sudden?!"
"The key is that the standard of this poem seems quite good!"
"My old man's eyes are already shining! Forgot to mention, my old man is a Chinese professor!"
That's right.
More and more netizens discovered the ingenuity of this poem.
Using ten "one" characters in a row, the text is refreshing and catchy.
The more one savors it, the more one can feel the tranquil scene of a fishing boat singing in the evening.
Seeing many netizens immersed in the whimsical ideas of this "one-character poem," Ye Xuan flipped through more memories in his mind.
Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you all a few more.
"Actually, 'one-character poems' are the simplest."
The simplest?!
Countless netizens were choked by these three words, and they listened as Ye Xuan's slow and steady voice continued to flow in the live stream room...
"One frown, one smile, one holding of the heart; one kingdom ruined in an instant.
One boat, one oar, one lifetime companion; one day returning to one lake of mist."
"One carriage, one horse, one road of dust; one cry of the autumn wild goose, one wisp of soul.
One tune, one song, one sound of resentment; one moon shining empty on one mound of a grave."
"One scheme, one offering, one linked chain; one dynasty's rise and fall, one sigh.
One brush, one paper, one inkstone; one stretch of romance, one stretch of book."
"One joy, one sorrow, one facing the other; one string of lychees, one string of tears.
One poem, one chant, one dream; one morning waking from wine, one morning drunk."
Once these four short poems were out, everyone seemed to be carried into a dreamlike, illusory world of poetry.
On the other side, the president of the Poetry Society, who was also immersed in it, seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes burst with dazzling brilliance.
"These four poems actually describe the Four Great Beauties respectively?!"
At this moment, netizens who reacted as quickly as the Poetry Society president had already typed it out in the comment section.
"Amazing, amazing! This is actually talking about the Four Great Beauties!"
Following the netizens' reminder, the rest of the audience also reacted one after another.
One frown and one smile—isn't that talking about the peerless beauty Xi Shi?
One carriage and one horse—isn't that Wang Zhaojun, who voluntarily asked to go to the Xiongnu for a marriage alliance?
And Diaochan with her one scheme and one offering, and Yang Yuhuan, who had lychees sent a thousand miles just for a smile...
The life story of every woman was actually hidden in these short one-character poems!
Not to mention that this was just an impromptu question!
Without any preparation or brewing, he created four consecutive beautiful, dreamlike, and illusory masterpieces?! 1.0!
What kind of literary talent is this?!
And what kind of genius is this?!
In an instant, the bullet comments came rushing in like snowflakes.
"I used to hope Ye Gouzi would act like a human, but now I realize that once he acts like a human, I start to doubt if I'm still stuck in the primitive stage as a monkey?!"
"Don't say it! Did human evolution not bring me along?!"
"How can this man who lectures so solemnly be the same as the shameless Ye Gouzi we usually see?!"
"Another day of just making up the numbers in the human world!"
At this moment, amidst the bullet comments of rainbow farts that didn't repeat a single one, there was a netizen who wouldn't give up and proposed another explosive question.
"Then let's upgrade the difficulty: can you have the numbers one through ten appear in a single poem?!"
Once the question was out, all the netizens looked at Ye Xuan again.
