Chapter 270: Suddenly, Q’s desired guest, Ni Ni was chosen!
What do you think of the lyrics written by these writers and poets at the scene?
No problem! That’s definitely no problem!

No matter “Where is the emperor in the pavilion now, the Yangtze River flows outside the railings.”

Or “Where is the emperor in the pavilion now? Outside the railings, the Yangtze River ‘boat’ flows freely.”

This series of lyrics and guesses – there is nothing wrong with it!
Literature is all about a thousand faces for a thousand people!
Just as there are a thousand different Hamlets among a thousand people,
Everyone, when reading this “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”, will feel the artistic conception of the poem.

This will prompt them to add various lyrics at the end of the poem.

Whether it is ‘water flows by itself’, ‘each flows by itself’, or ‘the boat flows by itself’——

There is nothing wrong with these.

All of these are fine.

But, do you want to say whether these lyrics are the best solution for “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”?
This, I’m afraid, is not the case.

Even the literati and poets who can come to participate in this live gathering are all scholars and patriots from all over the world.

However, even if you are a brilliant person, you can’t guess the last line of the poem “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” –

This is probably extremely difficult!
There is no doubt that Lin Feng is definitely a great poet!
There is no doubt that “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” is definitely a work that is worthy of being recorded in history and even deified!
If this divine object, which seems to have been left behind by a banished immortal in the mortal world, could be guessed so easily by a bunch of mortals like you, then…

Isn’t this a disgrace to the “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” which is worthy of being deified?
The question Lin Feng gave everyone at the end of the poem immediately caused countless scholars to discuss it –

Even helpless!
Just when everyone was having doubts about the lyrics of the last line of the poem “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”,

Suddenly, Hu Hanmo, who had been thinking, looked up.

By chance, I saw Zhuang Han, who was also standing on the main building, lost in thought.

It is true that there were indeed a lot of literati and poets at the scene.

However, when it comes to literary accomplishment, the person who is closest to Lin Feng at the scene is——

It must be Zhuang Han, who is also a master of literature!
Both are masters of literature.

I guess Zhuang Han, who has a profound literary accomplishment,
When seeing the blank space that Lin Feng had deliberately left,

You will definitely have your own unique insights…

Looking at Zhuang Han who looked thoughtful, Hu Hanmo raised his head and called out to him:
“Mr. Zhuang, in your opinion, the last lyric at the end of “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” -“

“What should it be filled with?”

The moment Hu Hanmo spoke, the whole place fell silent!
“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that!”

As if something had suddenly dawned on them, everyone clapped their hands in thought and turned their eyes to Zhuang Han.

It is true that I cannot come up with a lyrics for this line.

However, this does not mean that Zhuang Han, who is also a literary master, may not be able to fill it out!
As a master of literature, Zhuang Han’s literary accomplishment is far superior to others!
It can be said that no one in the entire Chinese literary world can surpass him!
If you want to talk about poems of the same level as “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”, can Zhuangzi and Han write it?
Needless to say, this is a masterpiece that will go down in literary history.

Zhuang Han definitely can’t write it!
This is a masterpiece that is impossible to replicate!
However, as a literary master, although he could not write such a brilliant work as “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” that is unrivaled in ancient and modern times——

However, if it was just a line of lyrics, it shouldn’t be difficult for Zhuang Han, right?
Everyone’s eyes were directed towards the main building of Tengwang Pavilion.

Feeling the gaze of all the literati and scholars.
Zhuang Han was silent for a long time…

Hearing Hu Hanmo’s question, Zhuang Han turned around and bowed to Hu Hanmo in return.

Looking at the “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” which is vigorous and powerful, and is waving vigorously, it seems like a dragon or snake constantly swimming on the rice paper.

After a while of silence.

Zhuang Han slowly uttered a sentence: “I, can’t fill it out.”

Although, looking at the blank space that Lin Feng deliberately left on the rice paper, Zhuang Han seemed to understand something.

However, it must be admitted.

The blank space left by Lin Feng at the end of the poem “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” is indeed meaningful and full of charm.

It’s not that, based on Zhuang Han’s literary accomplishment, he couldn’t come up with such a word!
To be precise, he doesn’t want to fill it out!
He didn’t want to tarnish such a classic, miraculous poem because of his own random guesses.

The last sentence of the poem “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” is very difficult.

It’s so big?
Zhuang Han, who is also a master of literature, even Zhuang Han, he——

Can’t fill it out?
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused heated discussions among countless scholars and writers at the scene:

“Could it be that our previous guesses were all wrong?”

“Could it be that the lyrics we wrote before were not able to express the meaning?”

“I said! How can it be so simple to leave blank space at the end of such a classic “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”?”

There is no doubt that when the always arrogant Zhuang Han admitted in person –

Even he was unable to fill in the blank space left by Lin Feng at the end of “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”.

The atmosphere of the whole venue was immediately pushed to a climax!
Even the literary master Zhuang Han couldn’t complete the lyrics?
How exaggerated is this?!
It is hard to imagine that tens of thousands of writers and poets gathered at the scene, including many literary masters who have been famous for many years, and even literary masters of such status as Zhuang Han.

This group of people, who are said to be the top forces in the Chinese literary world, gathered together——

Can’t even fill in the blank space of a poem?
Such a situation——

What an exaggeration!
Just as everyone was talking about it, even Hu Hanmo himself was staring at the blank space at the end of “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” with a look of deep thought.

Qi Guoqiang, who was sitting next to Hu Hanmo, called out to him lightly:
“Since I can’t think of it, why not just ask that kid Lin Feng.”

“That kid just left. It’s not like he can’t be found.”

A word to wake up the dreamer!
Qi Guoqiang’s words immediately enlightened all the scholars and writers present!
Right, since we really can’t come up with the words, why don’t we just go and ask Lin Feng himself?
It’s impossible to fill it out anyway – so why waste time here?
The solution was indeed found, but new problems naturally emerged as well.

Asking, of course, is no problem.

But the problem is-

Who should I ask?
There were many men of letters and scholars at the scene, and before Lin Feng came on stage, they all looked down on him and even spoke ill of him.

Even if they repented and apologized to Lin Feng at this moment.

First of all, I really can’t bring myself to do this, it’s really embarrassing.

Secondly, even if you can put up with this shame, can you guarantee that Lin Feng will be willing to pay attention to you?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you – looking at each other in bewilderment!
The situation was at a stalemate and somewhat awkward.

Qi Guoqiang stood up, turned his head and looked at the guests sitting at the back of the ceremony, and called out softly:
“In my opinion, it’s better to let Nini go.”

If you want to ask someone a question, naturally, you should find someone whom others can trust.

Let other people at the scene ask Lin Feng for advice?
First of all, these people really have no relationship with Lin Feng.

Secondly, according to Lin Feng’s temper——

Why do you think that if a stranger goes to ask him, he will tell you?
Based on this condition,

Therefore, there is no doubt that Ni Ni, who interacted most closely with Lin Feng in the same program, was the best person to be sent to consult Lin Feng…

All eyes in the audience were directed towards the corner of the ceremony.

No one expected that—

In this grand ceremony, a corner that no one cared about before, unexpectedly one day——

Will it also become the focus of everyone’s attention?!
Feeling the gazes of Hu Hanmo, Qi Guoqiang, Zhuang Han and a number of literary giants, I was stunned when I looked at the guests!
“I?”

Ni Ni was obviously very surprised when Qi Guoqiang called her out in public. She pointed her index finger at her chest with a blank look on her face:

“Will you let me go?”

“I’m afraid this won’t work, right?”

You, the big names in the literary world, can’t handle this, but you actually——

Let me, a layman, solve it?
Is this a bit exaggerated?
Looking at Nini’s confused expression, there was even a hint of nervousness.

Qi Guoqiang smiled, and then comforted her:

“It’s okay. If I tell you to go, just go.”

“Don’t feel any pressure.”

Don’t even mention that there are so many literary giants watching over you.

Even in the middle of the venue——

There was also a high-ranking and powerful chairman like Hu Hanmo watching.

But it was a director like Qi Guoqiang who asked her, Ni Ni, to ask Lin Feng for his opinion.

She didn’t dare not go!
Even though, I am a little panicked, even though, I am a little reluctant.

But there was no other way. Since Qi Guoqiang had already spoken, then she, Ni Ni——

All I can do is follow the instructions…

In front of all the scholars and writers,

Ni Ni stood up from her seat, then walked in the direction where Lin Feng left, slowly leaving everyone’s sight.

“I, let me try.”

…………

After coming down from the main building of Tengwang Pavilion, Lin Feng did leave, but he did not go far…

After walking for about seven or eight minutes,

Nini found Lin Feng in a pavilion for cooling off.

Lin Feng was seen lying on a bench in the pavilion, enjoying the cool breeze, with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, looking very relaxed.

Ni Ni hurried forward and shouted to Lin Feng:
“Lin Feng, why are you here? So many people are looking for you…”

After Nini explained her purpose.

“What should be the last word at the end of “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”?”

Lin Feng first smiled at Nini: “Please beg me.”

Faced with Lin Feng’s almost unreasonable request, Ni Ni was quite helpless:

“I beg you.”

After getting the answer he wanted, he stopped teasing Nini.

Lin Feng sat up from the bench and motioned for her to raise her right hand:
“Come on, stretch out your right hand.”

Nini did as she was told and stretched out her right palm, as white as jade, in front of Lin Feng.

I didn’t understand what Lin Feng meant at all——

Lin Feng gently tapped the palm of Nini’s right hand, and then signaled her to clench her right hand quickly.

Then, Lin Feng shouted to Nini casually:
“Okay, hold your right hand and don’t let go.”

“When you return, open your right hand again. By then, they should know the last word of the poem “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” -“

“What should I fill in?”

Although, I totally don’t understand Lin Feng’s actions.

However, in Nini’s understanding, Lin Feng’s words did not need to be understood at all!
Anyway, just do it and it’s done.
After seven or eight minutes,

The return journey also took seven or eight minutes. About ten minutes had passed.

Ni Ni once again returned to the venue of the Tengwang Pavilion Centennial Celebration.

Originally, everyone was arguing over the lyrics at the end!
However, when Nini returned to the main building of Tengwang Pavilion again——

The whole place was silent!
No one spoke anymore!
Without waiting for Qi Guoqiang to ask,

Hu Hanmo was the first to speak impatiently: “How is it, what did Lin Feng say?”

“What should be the last word at the end of the poem “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng”?”

Feeling the gaze of all the literati,

Feeling this sudden pressure, Nini was a little nervous.

She swallowed her saliva secretly, withstood the pressure, and then very honestly stretched out her right hand:
“Lin Feng said, this answer——”

“It’s in my hand.”

When Nini’s right hand, which was clenched into a fist, slowly opened in front of everyone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment——

“There’s nothing here.”

If you want to use an adjective to describe Ni Ni’s hand

The situation above can only be – empty!
Seeing Nini’s empty right palm, everyone was immediately stunned:
“what’s the situation?”

“What’s the meaning?”

“Is this Lin Feng playing tricks on us?”

Just when countless scholars and writers were puzzled,
It was like a sudden enlightenment.
Zhuang Han, who had been standing silently in the main building of Tengwang Pavilion, suddenly shouted:
“Understood!”

“I really understand!”

“My guess is correct!”

Do you understand?
What do you understand?
When everyone was confused,
It was as if he suddenly realized something.

I only heard Hu Hanmo utter one word excitedly:

“null!”

“The last word at the end of the poem “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” -“

“The word ‘blank’ should be filled in!”

“Where is the emperor’s son in the pavilion now? Outside the railings, the Yangtze River flows in vain…”
