Water Margin people

Everyone in the restaurant fell silent, and looked at Lu Zhishen with frowns.

Everyone began to appreciate the second line of the couplet, "The lights are deep, the village and the temple are deep." The deep village and temple revealed a hazy yellowish halo, and the sound of distant bells could be heard faintly.

"Deep" means profound, which has both visual and auditory feelings. It is very clever. The whole sentence has a profound artistic conception, which is much better than Yu Yunwen's "The gun carriage guards the city of Jiang".

"He's a monk, so it's normal for him to come up with such a couplet!"

Many people began to nod. If someone else came up with such a couplet, they would be surprised, but for a monk, it was very suitable.

"Master, you have great literary talent!"

The shop owner was extremely happy when he saw the second couplet. It was already a rare opportunity to come up with an absolute second couplet, and now there was a more neat one. I'm sure it will become even more popular.

"Master, I admire your literary talent!"

"Wonderful."

"I admire you!"

All the onlookers saluted Lu Zhishen with their fists clasped.

"Haha, I just happened to meet him!"

Lu Zhishen smiled modestly.

"Master, come and have a drink!"

Those people began to invite Lu Zhishen, wanting to discuss literature with the big monk in front of them.

"Master, you are absolutely right. From now on, all drinks in our store are free!"

The shopkeeper was afraid that Lu Zhishen would not allow him to hang up the couplet, so he rubbed his hands and said with a flattering look on his face.

"Do I need your money for the wine?"

Lu Zhishen looked at the shopkeeper with a stern face. He was the center of attention, and these guys dared to say something that spoiled the mood.

"You villain said the wrong thing! You deserve to be beaten! You deserve to be beaten!"

The shop owner quickly apologized.

"Erlang, look at the master, isn't he afraid of being exposed?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen's smug look, shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"The master likes crowds. Now that there are so many people here, the master must be happy."

Wu Song said with a smile.

"Erlang, do you want to go out and show off?"

Sun Lei looked at Wu Song and asked.

"To show off? Not a master...brother still has absolute?"

Wu Song reacted and realized that Sun Lei actually had this perfect second line.

"Of course there is. How could there be only one couplet for the first and second lines I came up with?"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"I won't try to steal the Master's limelight!"

Wu Song shook his head and said that he and Lu Zhishen were brothers for life and death, so how could he steal Lu Zhishen's limelight.

"If you don't go to help him, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it. He'll be exposed when he gets drunk, and it will be even more troublesome if he loses face."

Sun Lei pointed at Lu Zhishen who was already drinking. These scholars of letters were definitely no match for Lu Zhishen when it came to drinking. But with so many people, how could Lu Zhishen, who could drink a lot, stop them?

"Brother isn't going?"

Wu Song looked at Sun Lei and asked, he knew how much knowledge he had, so he should be exposed.

"I'm going to talk to Yu Yunwen!"

Sun Lei pointed at Yu Yunwen who was rolling up the second couplet. At this time, Lu Zhishen had attracted all attention and no one paid attention to Yu Yunwen anymore.

"Then I'll go up there!"

Wu Song glanced at Lu Zhishen and said, it would be bad if he didn't go up to help.

Sun Lei smiled and said another couplet.

Wu Song walked like a dragon and a tiger, and soon came upstairs. "I have a couplet, too!"

Wu Song said.

All of a sudden the noisy crowd quieted down again, looking at the mighty man. They knew at a glance that this man had extraordinary martial arts skills.

"This warrior also has a couplet?"

The owner was happy. He was already delighted to have gotten an excellent second line today. If there could be an even better second line, he would be rich today, and his restaurant would have a prosperous business for a long time.

Wu Song said nothing, but took a pen and wrote the second line on the paper.

"Peach burning Jinjiang embankment!"

Wu Song also wrote five big characters. His handwriting was also quite powerful, but lacked beauty. It was obvious at first glance that he was not good at calligraphy, just like Lu Zhishen.

There was complete silence, and then there was another round of complete silence. Everyone was stunned. No one had been able to match this Qiangu Absolute for many days, and the fact that Yu Yunwen barely managed to match up with them a few days ago was already amazing.

What happened today? A huge monk and a mighty man, both of them were very neat in their poetry, and their mood and rhythm were impeccable.

"Haha, Jiro, you got it right too?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Wu Song with a smile. He didn't care at all that Wu Song stole his limelight. Good things should definitely be shared by brothers.

Lu Zhishen knew that the second couplet must have been come up with by Sun Lei, but he didn't think that was cheating. They were brothers, and his brother's couplet was his couplet.

"Master Lu, do you know this person?"

The scholars surrounding Lu Zhishen asked in confusion. They didn't expect that the Master Lu in front of them actually knew the mighty man.

"This is my brother... Erlang!"

Lu Zhishen smiled and said that he originally wanted to tell Wu Song's real name, but was afraid of being recognized, so he could only say Erlang.

"Brother Erlang!"

Those scholars hurriedly saluted Wu Song with their fists clasped.

"Peach blossoms burning on the Jinjiang River embankment, wonderful, this should be something that happened before the Spring Examination! The artistic conception is wonderful."

"The beauty of April has ended! The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom! The master is opposite the mountain temple, and Erlang is opposite the peach blossoms! It can be seen that the two of them are amazing talents!"

"It's a pity that the time has passed and we can't see the beautiful scene of peach blossoms blooming on the banks of Jinjiang River, covering the entire riverbank with red!"

Everyone praised Wu Song's second couplet.

The shop owner was very smart. In order to create momentum, he immediately spread the news that the couplet had definitely been answered correctly, and he had come up with two perfect couplets at once.

The candidates who took part in the Spring Examination in Liangshan City had not left yet. Knowing that they were absolutely impressed by the two wonderful couplets, they were all excited and rushed to the restaurant.

Yu Yunwen put away his couplet and prepared to leave.

"Brother, why are you leaving right away? Why don't you stay and enjoy this grand event?"

Sun Lei stopped Yu Yunwen and said with a smile.

"Brother, you are joking. I still have to go back to review my lessons."

Yu Yunwen clasped his fists towards Sun Lei and said.

"The Spring Examination is over, and everyone is waiting for the results to be announced, but you want to go back to review your lessons?"

Sun Lei was very surprised. What homework did he need to review right after the exam?

"Brother, you are joking. Knowledge is not only in books, but also in life. I came to Liangshan City from Shuzhong. Everything I saw and heard was refreshing. There are too many things I need to know and understand."

Yu Yunwen said to Sun Lei with a smile.

"Oh, brother, you have such insight! It coincides with my opinion! This is not a coincidence! Come on, let's drink and chat!"

Sun Lei was delighted to hear this. He thought that someone who could have such cognition was not an ordinary talent.

"Brother, do you think so?"

Yu Yunwen looked at Sun Lei in surprise. He had told many people about this idea, but few people agreed with him.

The people in the academy have rigid thinking. They only know that books contain beautiful women, golden houses and thousands of bushels of grain.

Although the students in the school have open minds, the knowledge in the school is complicated and everyone can only learn what they are interested in and good at.

This also led to Yu Yunwen's inability to find a soulmate. Today, he met someone who understood him and was very happy. (End of this chapter)
