Chapter 229
"Finally it's our turn, Mowu."
"Judging from the points, the top couplet made by Senior Li Hansha after selecting the questions will have to stop at least 5 students in order to get into the top four. It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on the questions asked by senior Li Hansha. It shouldn't be too difficult. If it's too difficult, maybe the time will come before senior Li Hansha can complete the couplets, and the gain outweighs the loss."
It was Mowu's turn to draw questions, and all the Mowu students in the audience stared with wide eyes.
In terms of points, Mowu students made 14 lower couplets, totaling 14 points. Tianjing Academy, ranked fourth in the standings, has 18 points. Li Hansha can get one point as long as he makes the upper couplet. If
The literary masters of Tianjing Academy were able to produce Xia Ying, and Li Hansha could easily bring Mowu into the top four if he had to stump 5 students.
If Tianjing Academy didn't challenge anyone, Li Hansha would only need to stump 4 students to get into the top four.
For ordinary universities, if you can enter the top four, you will definitely be very happy if you break into the second level.
But Mowu's goal is not just to compete for the top four.
"It's worthless. We in Mowu are fighting for the first place. If we don't win, we will lose." A student from the Mowu Literary Society said bitterly.
Another student from Mowu Literary Society said with a dark face: "Fight for first place? How to fight? There is a gap of 16 points between us and Diwu. Unless senior brother Li Hansha's upper classmate is difficult to live in any Wuhan University, he will be difficult to live in."
Without Diwu, we can tie for first place with Diwu."
Tied for first place.
Really tied for first place, can Mowu be satisfied?
But regardless of whether they are satisfied or not, the current situation, for them to be tied for first place with Diwu, is already the best outcome.
"Can it be done?" A magic martial arts student frowned.
This was not easy. Li Hansha had to make a couplet that stumped all the students.
A girl looked at Li Hansha with admiration and said, "I believe in Senior Li Hansha."
…
On the competition stage, Li Hansha drew a piece of paper from the wooden box and opened it to read: the number of words should not exceed ten.
Overlapping words and couplets?
As soon as the proposition comes out, it will be shown in front of everyone with the camera.
Zhong Shenxiu looked at the proposition of overlapping words and couplets, and sat up straight with energy, "Overlapping words and couplets, I finally picked an interesting topic."
Among the duplications, duplication of words is not very difficult. It is not as difficult as duplication with the same sound and the same side as duplication. However, what we refer to here is the whole. In fact, there are also very many examples of duplication in duplication that have been handed down.
hard.
There will definitely be one in a hundred years.
The most important thing is to see Li Hansha's performance.
Ma Daihua said calmly: "Winning the double-word couplet gives Mowu a chance to tie for first place, but the specific performance depends on Li Hansha's first couplet."
The unanimous view of the three people is that this question is not very difficult, but it has a lot of room for improvement. For Mowu, it is considered a top scorer and can be attacked or defended. If Mowu just wants to be in the top four, as long as he can make an ordinary
The couplet is enough to squeeze into fourth place.
If he wants to compete for first place, Li Hansha must stump all the students.
The timing started when Li Hansha won the question paper. For the first minute, Li Hansha did not move.
He was thinking rapidly in his mind.
Li Hansha is also under a lot of pressure. He naturally understands that the students of Mowu may not be satisfied if they only make the top four. He wants to compete for the first place.
It is very difficult to win ordinary word-duplicate couplets, and it must be difficult enough.
In the crowd, Shan Xin looked contentedly at Li Hansha, who was deep in thought on the competition stage. He rested his head on his arms and said slowly, "Don't capsize in the gutter. You won't even be in the top four."
"If you don't make it to the top four, you won't be able to compete in the second level."
When several Mowu students nearby heard this, they turned their heads and stared at him angrily.
What do you mean?
Are you hoping that our Mowu will not make the top four?
…
On the competition stage, Li Hansha never put down his pen, and the time passed by minute by minute.
In the Mowu area below the stage, the waiting Mowu literary master looked solemn. Feng Yuan said solemnly: "It is not easy to come up with a word-replying couplet within three minutes that is so difficult that it can stump all the students of Wuhan University."
A literary student also said seriously: "It's not easy, look at Li Hansha."
…
Two minutes later, Li Hansha still didn't move.
It wasn't until halfway through the last minute that Li Hansha on the stage suddenly looked up with joy and moved.
As he held the pen, everyone saw that Li Hansha's upper couplet was written quickly: "The sea water is falling towards the sky."
The upper couplet is completed in one go.
Zhong Shenxiu and Li Dongchang saw Li Hansha's upper couplet for the first time. Zhong Shenxiu frowned slightly and said: "The sea water is falling."
Li Dongchang said: "This couplet is a bit strange. The sentences don't make sense."
…
"The upper couplet of Li Hansha was written wrong?"
"The sea water is facing... towards..., why does it sound so strange to read?"
In the audience, whether they were writers from Mowu or writers from various places, when they saw Li Hansha's couplet, they all started reading it.
But before they finished reading it, they realized something was wrong.
This is indeed a double word couplet, not an ordinary double word. The same word "Chao" is overlapped six times in total and appears seven times.
But no matter how they read it, this sentence was incoherent and confusing.
Qin Mo said in surprise: "This guy can actually come up with such a couplet."
Qin Mo was originally confident that Diwu would enter the second level as the first, but he didn't expect that Li Hansha would do something like this.
This couplet would take more than three minutes for other students to figure out the pronunciation of the couplet, let alone pronounce it.
This is indeed a pair of overlapping couplets, but the same characters have different pronunciations. It is the most difficult type of overlapping couplets. Li Hansha was able to make such a couplet. Qin Mo couldn't help but give him a high look.
If Qin Mo hadn't taken action, maybe Mowu could have turned defeat into victory at the last moment and tied for first place with Diwu.
Without thinking much, Qin Mo slowly walked towards the wooden table.
…
"Huh? Qin Mo moved."
"Has he seen the upper couplet clearly? Can he read the lower couplet?"
In the crowd, they saw Qin Mo walking towards the wooden table, picking up the pen and writing in a hurry. Those students who had not yet figured out the couplet of Li Hansha were all stunned.
Wan Zhaorong raised her head and glanced at Qin Mo, she seemed to have caught something.
Li Hansha also looked at Qin Mo in surprise, but he was very confident in his own couplet.
Qin Mo may not really understand.
Li Hansha didn't believe it when they faced each other in such a short period of time.
"I understand." At the trial, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly said: "This couplet is not an ordinary couplet with overlapping words, but a couplet with the same word but different pronunciation. The first one is read chao, and the second one is pronounced chao.
If you pronounce zhao individually, if you pronounce it continuously, it should mean the sea water rises towards the sky.
Li Dongchang was also quite surprised and said: "The same character has different pronunciation, no wonder, now it can be explained."
…
"It turns out to be a couplet of overlapping words with the same word but different pronunciation."
"Senior Li Hansha, you are so awesome."
After hearing Zhong Shenxiu's analysis, all the Mowu students were excited. The same word had different pronunciation. No wonder they couldn't pronounce it correctly.
Now that I know the correct pronunciation, I read it again and found that the above couplet is easily solved.
Chapter completed!
