In addition, you can also filter again according to the part of speech of the text - for example, the word "lonely" must correspond to an adjective, and the word "window" must correspond to a noun.
Gu Xu looked around, looking at the lonely and dilapidated courtyard, thinking of the Qingzhou Lu family who had disappeared in the long river of history, and an answer suddenly emerged in his mind.
He took out the charcoal pen he carried with him from his pocket and wrote a line of words on the paper——
"Today's desolate and cold conditions are pure and withered."
After he wrote the last word, the piece of paper in his hand instantly turned into golden flakes of light, like fireflies on a summer night, dancing in the howling cold wind, and then disappeared.
Seeing such a scene, Chu Fengge beside him was stunned for two seconds. He didn't expect that Gu Xu could solve this couplet so easily.
Chu Fengge couldn't help but secretly complained: My subordinates are so useless. It takes several days to write a poem - if they all have Gu Xu's quick thinking, why should I not be able to become one? The most dazzling genius in Luo Jing City?
…………
At the same time, in a corner of the small courtyard that was difficult to detect, the spirit of the "Jinghong Pen" was hiding behind a pillar, quietly peeking at Gu Xu's couplets.
Although she was far away from Gu Xu, what Gu Xu wrote on the paper could be clearly reflected in her eyes.
"In ancient times, I was lonely and cold, and I was a widow with an empty window." This is the first couplet written by Lu Shiyao many years ago.
The second couplet of the calligraphy and inkstone pair at that time was "Today's handsome and beautiful woman is alone."
The couplet of calligraphy and inkstone is very symmetrical in meaning, but the wording is a little less neat - "empty widowhood" versus "accompanied by loneliness" seems a bit far-fetched.
On the contrary, Gu Xu's couplet is neater in meter, but less symmetrical in overall meaning.
I can barely pass the level.
"The desolate and cold situation... Is he talking about the Lu family in Qingzhou today?" The little girl with disheveled hair held her knees in her hands and thought to herself in a trance.
According to legend, after the weapon spirits of the "Twelve Named Weapons" recognize their owners, they will become more and more similar to their owners.
And this little girl obviously inherited Lu Shiyao's habit of wandering in a daze.
…………
Then, Gu Xu took off the second note from another lantern.
There is still a couplet written on the note: "The phoenix falls on the phoenix tree and the phoenix falls on the phoenix tree."
Chu Fengge silently glanced at the content on the note and remained silent.
Writing couplets is obviously not something he is good at.
In order to prevent himself from being embarrassed in front of Gu Xu again, he decided to remain silent.
Gu Xu was also thinking quietly.
He had already noticed at a glance that this couplet was not simple.
Because it is a "palindromic couplet", it can be read forward or backward, and the content and meaning remain the same.
"The word games Miss Lu and her maid played back then were really fancy!" Gu Xu sighed silently in his heart.
Then he picked up the pen and wrote the answer on the paper:
"The perfect match between pearls and the perfect match between pearls."
The note soon turned into fragments of light, dissipating in the dim courtyard.
The "Jinghong Pen" weapon spirit blinked behind the pillar.
She didn't expect Gu Xu to be so fast.
…………
In the following time, Gu Xu took off the strips of paper hanging on the lantern one by one, and wrote one sentence after another on them with charcoal pen.
Although he is busy practicing on weekdays, he rarely plays these games of writing and ink.
But for things like pairs, the final test is cultural accumulation.
As long as you have enough material in your mind, you can still cobble together a decent second line, even if you can't write that kind of flash of inspiration.
Gu Xu, who has the talent of [Educated Knowledge and Strong Memory], lacks the most important thing, which is the accumulation of knowledge.
Seeing the first line of the first line, "Dense trees, pines, cypresses, sycamores, willows", Gu Xu took up his pen and wrote the second line, "Thin water, brooks, rivers and lakes";
Seeing the first couplet "overlapping mountains, winding roads", Gu Xu took up his pen and wrote the second couplet "high trees and low trees, tinkling dong dong dong springs";
Seeing the first line of the first line "The green water is originally worry-free, but the face is wrinkled by the wind", Gu Xu took up his pen and wrote the second line "The green mountains were never old, but their heads were white as snow";
…
Chu Fengge stood nearby, watching Gu Xu write one line after another, with a particularly complicated mood.
At this moment, an idea came to his mind involuntarily: He wanted to ask Gu Xu to help him write a few verses for him to use in future battles.
Gu Xu's literary talent is much better than his group of subordinates who eat and drink all day long - the poems he writes will definitely make him full of momentum before drawing his sword.
However, Chu Fengge quickly drove this absurd idea out of his mind.
After all, Chu Fengge will be the number one person in the world from now on, and Gu Xu will be his opponent that cannot be ignored.
If you let your competitors help you write poems, wouldn't that mean you're giving in to them?
Even if Chu Fengge died, even if his head was cut off with a sword, he would never do such a thing of betrayal.
…………
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, there was only one lantern left hanging on the tree.
Gu Xu took a deep breath and took off the last piece of paper from the lantern.
"Let me see what this final couplet is."
He unfolded the note and saw five words written concisely on it:
"Smoke Lock Pond Willow."
Chu Fengge also turned his head and took a look, feeling a little surprised.
He thought that the final couplet should be the most complicated and difficult to correct.
I didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Brother Gu Xian, what do you think of 'Flower in the Mist'?" He couldn't help but ask.
It's a rare opportunity to show off in front of Gu Xu. Chu Fengge would not let it go easily.
But Gu Xu shook his head gently.
"Master Chu, actually this couplet is far from as simple as you think," Gu Xu said with a slight smile, "In my opinion, it should be the most difficult of all the couplets today."
"The most difficult one?" Chu Fengge was a little unconvinced.
"You may not have noticed that these five characters contain the five elements 'gold', 'wood', 'water', 'fire' and 'earth' respectively. The second couplet we produced also meets these requirements."
Chu Fengge snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Gu Xu was also lost in thought.
In his mind, hundreds of common characters including "gold", "wood", "water", "fire" and "earth" quickly emerged, and he quickly arranged and combined them according to the requirements of the parts of speech.
Then he decisively eliminated "potassium sticks to the beaker wall", "sodium sticks to the beaker wall" and so on that are most likely to come to mind as a science and engineering student.
Unknowingly, he felt that he had entered some mysterious state, as if his soul floated out of his body and walked in the palace of words. He saw the words outline the picture, and the words appeared in the picture...
Finally he put pen to paper and wrote:
"Tears burn away the ashes of dry graves."
The white paper turned into dots of fluorescent light and dissipated into the darkness.
…………
The "Jinghong Pen" weapon spirit slowly stood up from behind the pillar.
She saw every line Gu Xu wrote on the paper.
This phrase "Smoke locks the willows in the pond" was a difficult problem she set for the practitioners many years ago. Countless young talents throughout the Qi Dynasty were helpless against it.
The second couplet given by Lu Shiyao at that time was "Autumn inlaid with maples on the wall of the stream".
The upper and lower couplets are one of spring and one of autumn, combining virtuality and reality. The former is quiet and elegant, while the latter is mellow and profound.
It can be said that the contrast is neat, the artistic conception is harmonious, and it is extremely talented.
The artistic conception of Gu Xu's sentence "tears burn away in the ashes of withered tombs" is completely different from the first couplet.
But when he saw this sentence, Qi Ling couldn't help but think of the desolate cemetery where the bodies of the Lu family were buried, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
