Chapter 297

About the time of an incense stick passed.

Jiang Chen just sat on the bench, smiling and watching the Confucian Sword Immortal thinking while walking toward the outside of the Ascension Pavilion.

Xie Xuan can reach the realm of a Sword Immortal through reading, so he definitely has great wisdom.

It is not even a bit inferior to Huang Rong.

Plus the other party is not the kind of person who reads dead books, so Jiang Chen didn't come up with brain teasers or anything like that.

Although brain teasers are "harder".

But since Huang Rong could give the correct answer at that time.

Then this Xie Xuan, who became a Sword Immortal through reading, might also be able to think of the correct answer.

Therefore.

Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't risk using a brain teaser as the challenge question this time.

You must know.

There are probably not many people in the whole world like this special expert, the Confucian Sword Immortal.

Not to mention the other party's realm at the peak of the Half-Step Spirit-Wandering.

Just the way he became a Sword Immortal is something others cannot simulate.

Therefore.

This time.

The question Jiang Chen came up with was a couplet known as an eternal absolute in his previous life.

Smoke locks the pond willow!

This absolute first appeared in the collection of the Central Continent Grass Hall by Chen Zisheng.

There is also a saying that this couplet was a question asked by the Qianlong Emperor during a palace examination.

However.

Regardless of where this couplet came from, its status as an eternal absolute cannot be denied.

Although this couplet has only five words.

But whether it is the uniqueness of its structure or the beautiful picture drawn by the artistic conception of the whole sentence, it makes those talented scholars who want to try it shrink back.

In the world of his previous life.

Although there were some who matched the second line, there was not a single one that could be called perfect.

Therefore.

Jiang Chen doesn't believe that Xie Xuan can think of a perfect second line within the time of an incense stick.

Although the other party has read ten thousand volumes of books.

But no matter how powerful a person's wisdom is, it definitely cannot compare to the combined wisdom of countless people over hundreds of years in his previous life.

And the facts are indeed so.

Xie Xuan clearly also knew the uniqueness of this couplet.

Therefore, in the whole time of an incense stick, although the other party already had some answers in his heart, he clearly also knew that these answers were not perfect.

So from the moment Jiang Chen said "Smoke locks the pond willow".
