Chapter 179, Puzzle Solving

In terms of wisdom, Liu Yun is obviously not bad.

After the anagram appeared, she was already lost in thought, although she could not give the correct answer in the limited time.

But there are still some signs in my heart, especially after I sang and plucked with Wang Gang, she quickly grasped the key point.

Faced with the inquiry of the face, Liu Yun took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "The heavy rain is blowing on the wet wall, Zhuge has no plan to find Zhang Liang, Guan Gong ran away from the red rabbit horse, and Liu Bei took the knife to the battlefield." The anagram of these four lines corresponds to each other: no salt, no garlic, no ginger, no sauce!"

The face made of smoke changed for a while, and the voice became cold: "Give me a reasonable explanation." ”

"Yes. ”

Liu Yun nodded: "The first sentence, the heavy rain is wet on the wall, the reason why the wall can be wet is because there is no eaves, combined with the background story, it can be understood as Li Bai's comment on the meal, there is no eaves, that is, there is no eaves [salt]. ”

"The second sentence is the same, Zhuge has no plan to find Zhang Liang, because he has no ability to calculate the last resort, that is, there is no calculation [garlic], and so on, the third sentence, Guan Gong ran the red rabbit horse, the red rabbit horse can run, because there is no rein, that is, there is no reins [ginger], the fourth sentence, Liu Bei slashed the knife to the battlefield, it can also be understood as no general [sauce], combined, the anagram of the four lines of poetry, respectively, no salt, no garlic, no ginger, no sauce!"

After saying this, Liu Yun stared straight at the face.

Although after my size, the answers given can have a reasonable explanation, but the final result has not yet been determined, so Liu Yun is still a little apprehensive in her heart.

For Liu Yun's explanation, the face snorted coldly: "Count yourself lucky......! That's just the first anagram question, and there are two more questions to follow, and I don't believe you can solve them all. ”

As he spoke, his face deliberately glanced at me.

It's about you, not you, and naturally it includes me.

I don't know why, but the ghost was so confident that it didn't take us seriously at all, so much so that it didn't bother with my opportunistic tricks.

In a certain way, opportunism is also a kind of wisdom.

The hunchbacked old man didn't say anything, so naturally he didn't dare to speak.

"Please ask. ”

Liu Yun, who passed the first question, did not have a relaxed expression.

The face ghost is right, this is the first question, according to the normal situation, the next two questions will be more difficult.

On this basis, no one can guarantee that they will be able to answer them all.

Even I don't have the slightest confidence in my heart.

After all, I was impressed by the first anagram, and although it was finally solved, it was not as difficult as it seemed.

The train of thought just now is a little unsmooth, and I am afraid that I will have to be trapped in a dead end.

I can answer the question, it's just a little bit of peeling back the cocoon, plus a part of the luck component.

The first question is so difficult, let alone the second and third questions.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the face ghost is very proud and doesn't care about our interference, or rather, it is simply challenging a group of us.

In this way, it gives us some opportunities.

Although the second and third questions will increase the difficulty accordingly, the experience of the first question has somewhat given us some confidence.

So while Liu Yun spoke, I was already concentrating.

"Good! Now let's move on to the second question!"

The human face made of smoke was distorted for a while, and then returned to normal: "The second question also has a background story, please listen to the question; according to legend, Confucius traveled around the world, and one day he came to the Yan Kingdom, and when he entered the city gate, he saw a young man blocking the road. ”、

"The young man said, 'I heard that Mr. Kong was very knowledgeable, so he blocked the road to seek advice. ’”

"Confucius smiled and asked, 'Child, what problem have you encountered?'"

"The boy immediately asked, 'What water has no fish, what fire has no smoke, what tree has no leaves, what flower has no branches?'"

"When Confucius heard this, he replied: 'Rivers, lakes and seas, there are fish in every water, no matter firewood, grass, lamps and candles, and all fires have smoke, as for plants, they cannot be called trees without leaves, and it is difficult to bloom without branches!'"

The boy immediately shook his head and shouted, 'No!' and said four things. After listening to this, Confucius suddenly realized: "The future life is terrifying, and the old man worships you as a teacher!"

Speaking of this, the human face was distorted again, and then he asked: "Ask, what are the four things that the young man is talking about?"

As soon as the question came up, all of us fell into deep thought.

Backstory aside, this anagram is also about four questions.

What water has no fish, what fire has no smoke, what tree has no leaves, what flower has no branches?

Four questions, corresponding to four answers.

Confucius's answer in the story is indeed reasonable, but it is only reasonable, since these four questions can be asked, there must be an alternative, or an unexpected explanation.

In my understanding, there is no particularly accurate answer to these four questions, but in any case, the answers we give must be in line with the four questions themselves, at least they can be explained.

Thinking of the first question before, the current question is obviously not simple.

Many times, when the puzzle cannot be solved, the seemingly simple questions often cannot be answered.

It is only when the answer is in front of us that it will dawn on people.

This second question feels a bit like a brain teaser.

Although it is also a puzzle solving, if you can't find the key point, then you will have twice as much time, but I am afraid it will be in vain.

It is not only Liu Yun who is troubled by the problem, but also a group of us.

While Liu Yun was thinking, we were also trying our best to help answer.

Not long after the problem came out, Wang Gang seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became excited.

"Brother, I thought of it!"

Wang Gang patted me on the shoulder.

My eyelids jumped, and I quickly made a silent gesture to him.

The rules of the game still exist, and when someone participates in the level, no one else can interfere directly.

Before, we were just opportunistic and implicitly giving some hints.

It is possible to give hints implicitly, but it does not mean that the hunchbacked old man will ignore the answer when he says the answer directly.

Sometimes, it's okay to step on the line, but you can't cross the line, if you can't grasp this degree, you will have to be unlucky.

So I stopped Wang Gang's opening at the first time and motioned for him to lower his voice.

Wang Gang was not stupid, he pulled me back a few steps, leaned into my ear and whispered, "Brother, I have already thought of the answers to two of the anagrams." ”

"Got it?" I couldn't help but be a little curious: "Say it and listen to it." ”

Wang Gang smiled: "Actually, it's very simple, just take the first two sentences, what kind of water has no fish? That must be tap water! The tap water we usually use for washing vegetables and cooking, it must be without fish, you say?"

As soon as I heard this, my expression suddenly became a little weird.

Wang Gang obviously didn't notice it, and continued to speak excitedly: "Let's talk about the second sentence, what kind of fire has no smoke? This is even simpler, don't the lighters we usually use have no smoke? There are also electric fires and the like." ”

Although I haven't come up with the last two sentences for the time being, with the hints of the first two sentences, I believe you should be able to give the answer to the last two sentences. How's it going? How's that okay?"

Wang Gang smiled, looking like you came to praise me.

"Gangzi...... I'll just ask. ”

I spoke in a strange tone: "Were there running water and lighters in ancient times?"
