Chapter 497 Ten years of life and death!

 Finish writing the lyrics.

Lin Zhibai put down his pen.

At this time, the other participating lyricists also completed their own creations one after another. After all, the time was almost up. However, because it was a competition, everyone could not communicate with each other, and could not even see what each other wrote until the time of this round. , all participating lyricists put down their pens, and their works were collected by the staff and handed over to the judges.

 Obviously.

 The next step is to score.

　　The participating poets gradually became nervous. Four people were going to be eliminated in the first round, and the elimination rate was still very high. However, the foreign aid from Zhaozhou, Jin Ran, who was invited by Chuzhou, always had a relaxed smile.

that's all.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

 Fifteen minutes have passed.

 Most of the players' expressions are getting more and more nervous.

Lin Zhibai is okay, he has enough confidence in his work.

 At this time, the only person who can be as calm as him is Jin Ran, who is also a foreign aid.

finally.

The host said: "Okay, the scores of each teacher's work have been released. According to our rules, the highest and lowest scores of each teacher's work will be removed, and then the average score will be calculated as the final score. Then I first have to The one who announced the results was our Chuzhou contestant Teacher Bai Guanwu. After removing the highest and lowest scores, her average score was 92.1 points!"

 Ninety and above!

 This is definitely a high score!

 Bai Guanwu suddenly beamed with joy.

Subsequently, the scores of several more poets were announced, but the luck of several other poets was not so good. Most of them scored in the early eighties, and there was one in the seventies, the one named Huang Yu from Qizhou. , scored 90 points.

 “Everyone.”

The host said: "The next thing to be announced is the results of our Zhaozhou foreign aid, Mr. Jin Ran, who represented Chuzhou..."

This order seems to be random.

 At least that’s what the competing lyricists thought.

The audience speculated that the host most likely deliberately left Jin Ran and Lin Zhibai until the end, because the results of these two people were not announced yet.

 Sure enough!

 When Jin Ran’s results came out, the audience became more and more convinced of this.

 Because Jin Ran scored 93.5 points, which is better than Bai Guanwu and Huang Yu's scores!

 Hearing the host announce his score, Jin Ran still had the same faint smile, as if everything was as expected and there was nothing worthy of surprise.

"at last…"

The host smiled and said: "What we are going to announce are the results of Teacher Lin Zhibai. Everyone knows that Teacher Lin Zhibai's performance has been amazing every time since he participated in Qi Chuwen Dou. I wonder if he can still be amazing this time." Where is the whole audience?”

 There was a pause.

The host raised his voice: "Excluding the highest and lowest scores, Teacher Lin Zhibai's average score is 98.2 points!"

 At the same time the results are announced.

The words written by Lin Zhibai also appeared on the big screen!

 Suddenly!

 The barrage exploded!

 “I knew it would be a super high score!”

 “This score is simply amazing!”

 “It’s worth it, this score is totally worth it!”

“Look, out of the fifty judges, nearly twenty of them all gave perfect scores!”

　　“In my heart, this poem should be a perfect score!”

"agree!"

“It’s only 98.2, which is definitely low!”

 “This is the best song about love I’ve ever seen!”

 “As far as the theme of boudoir is concerned, this work has touched the ceiling!”

Lin Zhibai’s score made him the first in the first round in a crushing manner. Many viewers were still not satisfied. They felt that this poem should deserve full marks. Some judges were too conservative in their scoring.

 …

 Compared with the audience's expected reaction, the lyricists who participated in the competition were caught off guard!

Bai Guanwu looked at Lin Zhibai dumbfounded.

 Huang Yu, who is Qizhou's teammate, has a look of shock on his face.

Even Jin Ran, who had been smiling calmly since the game, with his expression unchanged as if the mountain was collapsing, suddenly disappeared at this moment. His eyes like lightning were locked on Lin Zhibai, I vaguely experienced the mood of those Zhaozhou foreign aid seniors.

There is something wrong with Lin Zhibai!

 Looking back at the words on the big screen: "...There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I lower my brows, but it's in my heart..."

Jin Ran felt as if his heart was gripped by a mysterious hand.

  “That’s a pity.”

 The host announced the four names.

　　The four poets whose names were read were all eliminated.

 Coincidentally, of these four people, two happened to be from Qizhou and two were from Chuzhou.

The four poets looked at each other with a wry smile and left the stage. As soon as they got off the stage, they were stopped by reporters who asked them what they had to say.

“I can only say that Teacher Lin Zhibai is a god.”

This is an interview with Qizhou's first lyricist. He shook his head and left.

“President Lin Zhibai is destined to be a mountain that no one can climb. If this is the case, there is no difference between me losing early and losing later.”

 This is the last speech of Qizhou's second poet.

The next two Chuzhou poets have interesting speeches after their elimination.

 One of them said: "I hope Teacher Jin Ran can work hard and fight until the end..."

Another person said: "I hope that the next Qi Chu Wen Dou can cancel the foreign aid system and prohibit any continent from introducing foreign aid from other continents!"

 This is the first time a contestant has publicly criticized the foreign aid system.

Moreover, this contestant who criticized the foreign aid system is from Chuzhou. It is obvious that this gameplay was first developed by Chuzhou.

 It made the Qizhou audience laugh.

“Last year Chuzhou took advantage of foreign aid, but this year Baidi broke so many legs and broke so many tendons.”

 “Whoever wins the White Emperor wins the world!”

“Given the rich man’s current state, I can’t imagine why Jin Ran can stop him!”

 …

The Chuzhou audience began to shut themselves up.

“Lin Zhibai started to abuse other players in the first round!”

 “I don’t believe it, can he really be comparable to King Chen!?”

“Guess what! King Chen also wrote poems about grievances, but he is not well-known. At least in terms of poems about grievances, Lin Zhibai is more ruthless than King Chen!”

 …

Qinzhou Audience:

 “No one understands grievances better than Bai Di!”

　　“Isn’t this the way to win six consecutive championships!?”

 “I think it works!”

 …

 Zhaozhou.

 “The situation is not good!”

“Teacher Jin Ran, Teacher Jin Ran, you must hold on, you are one of our last two lines of defense!”

 “Could it be that Lin Zhibai is the reincarnation of King Chen!?”

 …

 Middle-earth.

 “Compared with King Chen!”

“This is only one round, I can’t fully agree with it, but it is indeed too fierce.”

“Look again, I feel that Lin Zhibai really has the spirit of King Chen back then.”

 …

This is only the first round, and Lin Zhibai has already received more evaluations of "equal to King Chen".      But obviously.

 As some netizens said.

This level is still not enough.

Then continue to increase the firepower.

 At this moment, the host is preparing to draw the second round of keywords.

“Six teachers, are you ready? I’m going to draw the second round of keywords! Please start turning the big screen!”

 Shushushua.

 The screen rotates.

"stop!"

As the host said "stop", these two words appeared on the big screen:

 Mourning!

 That's right, it's the word "mourning".

　　The moment these two words appeared, it seemed that even the air was a little heavier. Even the host did not expect that the keywords drawn in the second round were even more evil than the first round.

 Although grievances between friends are rare, they are not considered a minority.

 As far as mourning is concerned, this theme is still relatively niche.

"I didn't expect that the key word turned out to be mourning. I believe everyone has read it. I believe everyone also understands that this is a theme created by living people to mourn the deceased. But what you may not know is that we The continents where Blue Star wrote the most mourning poems were Qizhou and Chuzhou, and most of those poems mourning death were produced during the same period, which was the time of the Qi-Chu war."

 The war between Qi and Chu was too tragic.

 At that time, there were many stories of blood and tears that are still circulating today.

The host said with great emotion: "For example, Qizhou General Fan Wu, his wife was seriously ill and dying, but he had to go out to fight, and did not return to his hometown until ten years later. By this time, his wife had been dead for many years, and even the general was like this Unfortunately, there are too many examples of ordinary couples being separated in wars until they are separated forever, so I think teachers can write your works based on these emotions..."

 The meaning of the question has been made very clear.

 The expressions of the six lyricists all looked thoughtful.

 Lin Zhibai's expression was a bit confused.

 In the history of Chinese literature, starting from the Book of Songs, the theme of “mourning poems” has appeared.

The most famous poets who wrote mourning poems include Pan Yue of the Western Jin Dynasty and Yuan Zhen of the mid-Tang Dynasty. Li Shangyin of the late Tang Dynasty also wrote mourning poems.

 Their works are tragic and touching.

　　You can use words to express mourning, but it was extremely rare in previous lives!

 Included in Blue Star.

 Memoriams should also be a fairly niche subject.

 Happily!

 There is Su Xian!

From the first appearance of mourning poems until the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone was writing mourning poems, but no one wrote a mourning poem!

 Until Su Dongpo wrote a work called "Jiang Chengzi·Dreams on the Night of the Twentieth Day of the First Month of Yi Mao".

 That’s right, Su Shi was the first to use words to express mourning!

As soon as this work was published, it became the ceiling of eulogies, and it was included in textbooks thousands of years later, so that it was no stranger to students in the Great Celestial Dynasty!

 Especially the opening chapter.

　　It is simply unknown to everyone!

But is it too exaggerated to use this song?

Lin Zhibai thought about it and realized that it was not an exaggeration. After all, he even copied "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"!

Although this work is also top-notch, its popularity and influence are still not as good as "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".

Thinking of this.

 Lin Zhibai picked up the pen.

 …

 From the moment the host finished talking about the topic, the camera has been filming the reactions of the lyricists.

There are six lyricists left on the stage.

 The most fierce ones are Lin Zhibai and Jin Ran.

 Therefore, the two of them naturally have more shots than the others.

Especially Lin Zhibai’s shots, so the moment he started writing, he attracted everyone’s attention.

"oh!"

 “Teacher Lin Zhibai has started writing!”

 “Did he get inspiration so quickly this time?”

"oh!"

 “He really started writing!”

With everyone watching, Lin Zhibai wrote this line: "Ten years of life and death are blurry. Without thinking, I will never forget it..."

 “This is the beginning!”

Even though it was only the first sentence, the audience felt a mysterious power pressing on their hearts!

 Several commentators in the live broadcast room couldn't help but recite:

"Ten years of life and death..."

 “without thinking…”

 “Unforgettable…”

Suddenly, a commentator said thoughtfully: "Is this the perspective of General Fan Wu?"

 Just like what the host introduced.

 Fan Wu went out to fight when his wife was seriously ill.

It is said that he did not return to his hometown until ten years later, by which time his wife had died.

And Lin Zhibai wrote such a sentence at the beginning, it is difficult not to make people think of it.

"Why!?"

 “It seems true!”

The audience also felt that the commentator’s guess was correct.

“Does this mean that you want to write a funeral poem for his wife from Fan Wu’s perspective?”

 This opening chapter really feels like writing the story of the general in Qizhou and his wife.

 At this time Lin Zhibai wrote again:

Thousands of miles away, there is a solitary tomb, and there is no place to speak of desolation.

Even if we meet each other, we should not recognize each other, our face will be covered with dust and our temples will be like frost.

 The female commentator couldn't help but stand up, her eyes were full of surprise, and she instinctively translated:

"It's been ten years since we parted ways. I can't bear to miss her, but I can't forget it. That lonely grave thousands of miles away. There's no place to tell her the desolation and sadness in my heart. Even if we meet again, you won't recognize her. When you leave me, my face is covered with dust and my temples are like frost..."

 There was a pause.

The female commentator said with a trembling voice: "Just reading the first half of this poem makes me want to kneel down to God. The level of his funeral poem is so good that even if he doesn't write the first half, or the second half is badly written, It’s definitely worth more than ninety points!”

  Words are divided into upper and lower parts.

Lin Zhibai only wrote half of it, but he still scored more than 90 points. Although this is the female commentator's personal remarks, it also indirectly shows how much this Shangque shocked her!

But then again.

Lin Zhibai performed perfectly in the first half, will he be worse in the second half?

 After taking a short rest, Lin Zhibai picked up the pen again, as if he had thought of his next ideas—

 “I suddenly returned home after having a deep dream at night, and I was dressing up outside the small window.”

 The commentator’s eyes are bright:

“Last night I returned to my hometown in my dream. At the window of the cabin, you were dressing up..."

  “Did you find it?”

 “The description here becomes a dream!”

 “This opening in the second half of the game has completely filled my artistic sense!”

 The audience was quite excited.

 Some are ignorant.

 But the next few strokes by Lin Zhibai can break all confusion:

 Looking at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears.

Even those who have never studied can roughly understand the meaning of this sentence: "We look at each other without words, only a thousand tears."

 Combined with the previous article.

 The charm of timeless classics blooms wantonly!

Lin Zhibai also added the last sentence of the poem at this moment: "It is expected that the heart will be broken every year, the moonlit night will be short of the pine tree"!

 This poem is Su Shi's work in memory of his wife.

 It’s deeply touching!

But now, from the perspective of the Blue Star audience, they think he is writing the story of the general and his wife.

But that’s not important.

The important thing is that no matter how you understand it, the value of this poem is there. The moment it was created, everyone began to re-examine the evaluation of Lin Zhibai:

 Compared with King Chen! ?
