"Congratulations to this son, you got it right. The old man's voice was full of disbelief, as if he didn't understand that this mystery was solved so easily.

This lantern riddle conference is organized by the old man himself, he is one of the best lantern makers in this imperial city, those small lanterns as prizes, are designed by himself, so each one is unique and beautiful. The old man likes to make lanterns, and he likes to guess lantern riddles even more, and when he guesses more, he thinks of lantern riddles to test others. The riddles hanging under the lanterns in this corridor were all thought up by him one by one throughout the year, and it was naturally difficult.

Only on the lotus-shaped piece of wood was an extremely difficult and extremely simple riddle that he had heard from a master in the world, and he couldn't figure it out in the end.

And what Chen Qian wrote was the answer to the mystery that he had been begging for a long time.

He would wait in this place every year during the Shangyuan Festival, and he had seen countless people come with wooden chips in their hands, and then shook their heads and left with sighs on their faces, but this noble-looking son, the old man was sure that he had seen it for the first time.

The wood chip was neatly written in four red letters in a flowing script.

[This mystery is unsolved]

Yes, no matter how difficult the riddle is, as long as there is a reason to come up with it, there will be a mystery. So when the master who came to the world told him the most difficult and simple riddle, the old man immediately admired him.

Anyone who can guess this riddle must be a gifted person who can make a great difference!

Chen Qian looked at the old man's gaze that instantly became admiring and envious, and he didn't explain anything, but pointed to the lotus lantern that was obviously different from other papier-mâché lanterns. The old man came back to his senses, and then hurriedly handed him the lantern, and said, "The son is smart, and there will be great things in the future." ”

Chen Qian looked at the lantern, and it was actually a gilded skeleton, and the outside was not wrapped in ordinary rice paper, but red silk as thin as a cicada's wings. The candle in the middle is also unusual, and before it is lit, you can smell the strange fragrance emanating from it, teaching people to maintain a calm state of mind in this not very quiet environment.

Even if the riddle is difficult to solve, I'm afraid it doesn't take so much effort...... Chen Qian suspected that just cutting off the corner the size of the candle's fingernail would be enough to buy all the lanterns in this corridor, and it would be more than enough to buy the lanterns in the whole city

This fragrance comes from the soul calming incense.

It was a grease-like thing that solidified like a candle. As the name suggests, the soul incense is famous for calming the soul, fixing the mind, stabilizing the state of mind, and exorcising demons. Even if it is put in the cultivation realm, it is a rare treasure, and it can attract a bunch of monks to die one after another for this former servant, who knows that it is arbitrarily used as a prize for free guessing.

This kind of treasure, an old man who makes lanterns is naturally impossible to get his hands on.

"This candle seems unusual. He took the lantern and lowered his head to sniff it, it was indeed a soul-calming incense, and it was very pure, as if it was naturally formed.

There are two ways to manufacture soul incense, one is human synthesis, which requires the bone marrow of a scarce number of soul-eating demon beasts, plus five kinds of first-grade spirit plants that have a great effect on the soul and soul, silver bell grass, Bodhi jade leaves, glazed fruits, snow sugar flowers and the bark of red wood sycamores. Collecting these materials requires the cooperation of two refiners and alchemists who have cultivated at least in the refining period to make a finished product. This method not only has an extremely high failure rate, but also requires a very high tacit understanding between the two parties in order not to be eaten by the powerful soul power in the bone marrow of the demon beast.

The other is natural formation, if a soul-eating demon beast dies naturally, before it dies, it will compress all the soul power on its body and shrink it into a ball of snow-white paste the size of a thumb, as a wealth for future generations. Soul Eater Demon Beasts feed on ghosts that have died in vain, and it can be said that they are difficult to meet in terms of souls, and although their abilities are strong, it is extremely difficult to give birth to offspring. In addition, after some monks discovered that they could synthesize soul-suppressing incense with manpower, they hunted it recklessly at will, and later the number of soul-eating demon beasts became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared from the sight of the monks, and the soul-suppressing incense became a legendary treasure.

It's like such a piece of soul-calming incense the size of an adult's fist, or is it naturally formed...... It would have to be a soul-eating demon beast that had dug an ancestral grave to make up such a large piece.

"Childe has good eyesight. The old man stroked his beard, which hung down to his chin several inches, and pointed to the lantern and said, "This candle was obtained by the old man from a bet with a rich man, and he guessed that the lantern riddle was not convinced, so he had to make a bet with the old man, and the bet was a strange fragrance that he bought for a hundred taels of silver." ”

"Since this candle is so expensive, why did you give it to me?" asked the minister, slightly puzzled.

The old man waved his hand, continued to stroke his beard, and continued, "The old man is not short of silver, nor does he like to collect wax, so it is useless to keep it. Since this candle is a gambling contract, it is better to use it as a riddle reward to attract more people to guess the old man's riddle. His mentality was extremely open-minded, and the ministers were embarrassed to take advantage of others by taking advantage of this valuable thing, so he attracted some heaven and earth qi luck into his hand, condensed a small ball of qi into a round jade ring, and placed it on the table.

In that case, the lantern was taken away. However, the meeting is fate, and this jade pendant was given to the master. It's not a precious thing...... he paused, and then he said, "but it's useful for transshipment." ”

The old man stroked his beard and accepted it with a smile.

It was indeed not a valuable thing for Chen Qian, and since he advanced, he had completely mastered all the racial skills of the Nirvana clan, including the skill of gathering and dispersing qi luck.

Luck is a thing that cannot be described in terms of concrete objects, just like light, you can only see it, but you can't grasp it. Luck is obviously more ethereal than light, and whether a person is lucky or not is related to his luck. The stronger the luck, the smoother the life, if it is stronger, there will be some adventures that ordinary people can't touch. But if the luck is weak, the direct reaction is that the life is bumpy, there are many dangers, and the weaker the luck, the more miserable the events that happen to the body.

If the person is strong-willed, he may be able to gain a bit of vitality under the weak luck. But the way of heaven is vast, and in the end, it is not something that can be influenced by personal will, so no matter how much vitality is taken away, those who are weak in luck will die miserably in the end.

To give the most intuitive example, the male protagonist and villain in the original book are like this. The male protagonist is born with luck.,So even the worst environment.,The most dangerous situation.,You can escape a new world.,Use the worst cards to play the most beautiful win.。 On the other hand, the villain Tan Li, although his qualifications are excellent and good, and even his noble background is innumerable and he has countless resources, he finally died tragically under the protagonist.

This is where the abrasive little goblin of luck comes into play.

Strictly speaking, the Nirvana clan cannot be regarded as a living being, but a collection of the dominant qi luck between heaven and earth, and the body after cultivating the scattered immortals is directly condensed by the qi luck of heaven and earth. So what they love is naturally a person with atmospheric luck who is favored by heaven, so the heroine who is a Nirvana clan in the original book will lend a hand to the male protagonist who was still a waste at the time, and when the male protagonist comes to kill Tan Li many years later, the female protagonist who is already the titular fiancée will be guided to kill him lightly.

Of course, this is not entirely influenced by subjective consciousness, and the side with strong luck usually affects the party with weak luck, especially Nirvana, which is a creature formed by the accumulation of luck. According to the original plot, at that time, the heroine was probably still in the stage of transition from childhood to adulthood, and her body was still ordinary**, and her cultivation was only to the first infant, so naturally it was not as good as the strong luck that the male protagonist had expanded by most of the book.

Chen Qian, because he has the plug-in of VIP players, directly skipped the childhood and juvenile periods, and cultivated to jump to the scattered immortals all of a sudden. The body is also completely condensed by luck, so the male protagonist who only has signs of atmospheric luck is naturally easily guided by the ministers to achieve some of the goals that the ministers want to achieve.

This is the rotation of feng shui.

The principle is to gather the excess qi luck between heaven and earth, and then give it the shape of a physical body, and place it close to the body to increase the wearer's qi luck according to the amount of qi luck gathered. On the other hand, if you forcibly dissipate the luck of someone, you can also achieve the opposite effect.

The ministers had only gathered a little bit of insignificant luck, and it would not have a particularly huge impact, and besides, he didn't have the heart to take into account the human realm while cultivating the true realm. Therefore, the role of the jade ring can bring a little luck at most, but it is not strong enough to change the life of Cheng Dù.

Seeing that the old man accepted it, he didn't stay any longer, put the piece of soul suppression incense in his sleeve, and went back to Tan Li with the lantern.

Tan Li was still standing in place.

He stood there alone, and even in the bustling crowd, the ministers could see him at a glance.

He was still looking at the lantern, but his eyes seemed to be remembering something through the lantern.

From the side, the figure seems to be indescribably lonely,

"Tan Li. Walking behind him, the minister called softly.

When he turned around, Chen Qian shook the delicate lantern in his hand at him, with a smile as warm as a candle on his face.

The girls' eyes drifted over again, and they laughed again and again at the lantern in his hand.

"You, who do you want to give this lantern to?" he stared at his minister's eyes, his gaze burning.

Just when he stood here for a while, he had already learned the meaning of this lantern from the mouths of the tourists around him.

"Here you go. Chen Qian smiled, "If you don't give it to you, don't you have to give it to the girl on the side of the road." ”

"I won't!"

"Okay, the lantern will be sent to you. ”

Tan Li slowly blushed.

"For your sake of being so sincere. ”

"I'll take it!" At the same time as Tan Li's voice, it was a slightly arrogant female voice.
