Chapter 509: Smoke locks the pond willows, an absolute couplet for the ages

Hearing this, Wei Laoyezi let out a long sigh of relief.

Five characters... it shouldn't be that terrifying!

And by the pond, there was only one willow tree and a few wisps of smoke; no matter how he looked at it, it couldn't form a first line that read the same forward and backward.

"Lord Gao, please instruct me on this second first line!"

Wei Laoyezi's gaze landed on Gao Yang again, full of solemnity.

At this moment, there was no more slighting in his heart; on the contrary, it was full of nervousness.

The officials also looked at Gao Yang in unison.

Even Wu Zhao sat up quietly, her phoenix eyes looking at Gao Yang with curiosity.

She dared to conclude in her heart that Gao Yang's second first line was absolutely more terrifying than the first.

Otherwise... Gao Yang would never bet his life so easily!

A Poisonous Scholar daring to bet his life against you was in itself an extremely dangerous signal.

She was suddenly curious about what Gao Yang's second first line was.

Gao Yang stood in the center of the Jin Luandian, his voice slowly ringing out, carrying a sense of recollection.

"I still remember, it was a misty morning; I got up early and came to the pond in the countryside, seeing a very beautiful picture..."

"Smoke curled above the lake, covering the quiet pond, and by the side of the pond, a willow tree full of vitality appeared and disappeared in the smoke."

"I am untalented, but at that time I had a flash of inspiration and made a first line, called—Smoke locks the pond willows!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were uttered, Wei Laoyezi was struck hard!

He looked at Gao Yang's position in disbelief, his eyes appearing as if they were about to burst.

"Smoke locks the pond willows!"

These short five characters set off a violent storm in his heart, buzzing in his mind as if struck by a heavy hammer made of thunder!

This damn thing is simpler than the previous first line?

And this was made when Gao Yang was five?

Are you fooling me like a fool?

Wei Laoyezi couldn't help but stagger back a few steps, his face stunned.

The huge Jin Luandian suddenly fell into silence.

Cui Xinghe was full of disbelief, speechless for a long time.

Wang Zhong didn't understand the marvelousness of "Smoke locks the pond willows," but when he saw everyone's expressions, especially Wei Laoyezi's look as if he had seen a ghost.

Even if he didn't understand couplets, he knew that Gao Yang's second couplet was even more ruthless than the first!

"Top Scholar Cui, is Lord Gao's 'Smoke locks the pond willows' very powerful?"

Wang Zhong saw this and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Cui Xinghe looked at Wang Zhong, took a deep breath, and said, "Old General Wang, please support me."

Wang Zhong looked stunned, "Why?"

Cui Xinghe looked in Gao Yang's direction and said with a complex expression, "Because Lord Gao's 'Smoke locks the pond willows' is simply too good, so good that my legs are trembling, and I want to kneel to Lord Gao on the spot!"

As the words fell, Wang Zhong's expression changed drastically.

"What?"

This "Smoke locks the pond willows" is so powerful?

Wang Zhong even felt that Cui Xinghe was exaggerating.

But the next second.

Bang!

Only a sound was heard, and an imperial censor's legs went soft, and he knelt on the ground.

He looked up to the sky and said, "What a 'Smoke locks the pond willows,' this is an absolute couplet for the ages!"

"To be able to witness the birth of such an absolute couplet for the ages in this life, I have no regrets!"

This imperial censor spoke, his face full of fanaticism.
