Chapter 184, Working Together
I glanced around, and found that Wang Gang and Song Qian had not made obvious progress, and the four of them all looked frowning and thinking.
If you really want to talk about it, it is me and Tang Yuying who have made the fastest progress, eight idiom anagrams, six have been solved, and there are still the last two.
It's just that these last two are also the two most difficult anagrams.
"Gotta hurry!"
I took a deep breath, "Yuzakura, what do you think about chiseling the wall to borrow light and wander around the distant realm?"
"Borrowing light from the wall" ......
Tang Yuying shook her lips and said, "I have mentioned in the book before, the idiom story about chiseling the wall and stealing the light. If I'm not mistaken, the story comes from Kuang Heng, a great writer in the Western Han Dynasty. According to the story, Kuang Heng was diligent and studious, but there was no light at home, and it happened that the neighbor's house next door had candlelight, but it couldn't illuminate his house, so Kuang Heng thought of a way to chisel through the wall and attract the neighbor's candlelight to read. This is the origin of the idiom of chiseling the wall and stealing the light. ”
"I've heard this story too, but I don't remember it as carefully as you do. I nodded: "Do you think the so-called idiom of chiseling the wall and borrowing light corresponds to the historical figure Kuang Heng?"
"I'm not sure. Tang Yuying shook her head slightly: "If you judge according to the idiom story of chiseling the wall and borrowing light, it is indeed related to Kuang Heng." But there are two doubts in it, so I'm not sure. ”
"What two doubts?" I asked.
"First, the anagrams we solved before have nothing to do with idiom stories, but more just deduce the names of people through the image metaphor of the idiom itself. Now, if you use idiom stories to bring in historical figures, it is obviously in conflict with the previous situation. ”
Tang Yuying bit her lip: "This is the second...... Kuang Heng's story may be known to many people, but it itself is not to the point of being well-known. And the historical figures we reasoned out before are familiar even to three-year-old children. In any way, Kuang Heng does not seem to be the best answer. But the idiom story of chiseling the wall and borrowing light is itself from Kuang Heng, so I am very puzzled now, is the final answer to this anagram Kuang Heng?"
"Your suspicions really deserve careful consideration. ”
I nodded: "I used to solve the problem according to the literal meaning of the idiom itself, but now if I give the answer through the story, it is a bit like selling dog meat on the head of a sheep." Now there are only two possibilities, either our previous reasoning is correct, and the answer to the anagram is not Kuang Heng, or ...... We are all wrong! Start from the beginning and re-extrapolate according to the idiom story!"
After a pause, I let out a long breath: "But I believe in the former more than the latter, and now, there is no time for us to start over, so my point is to solve the puzzle according to the previous logical thinking." The answer to the wall borrowing light, don't have anything to do with the idiom story, just take it literally!"
"That's all there is to it. ”
Tang Yuying also nodded in agreement, "If you analyze it word by word according to the previous solution, chiseling the wall roughly means digging holes in the wall, as for borrowing light...... Based on the ancient background, I think it is likely to represent fire, light, and so on. So who is the corresponding historical figure?"
"Drill holes...... Firelight, light ......"
I caught a few key words in Tang Yuying's words and began to repeat them.
After a few breaths, my eyes suddenly lit up, "Yusakura!
"Who is it?"
"Kong Ming!" I said: "The historical figure corresponding to the chiseled wall and borrowing light is Kong Ming! The wall is chiseled into a hole, and the light is borrowed for the light, and together it is Kong Ming!"
"I see!" Tang Yuying also smiled: "Zhuge Liang, the word Kongming, the number Wolong, has been engaged for a long time, this corresponding historical figure, using words, is a trick." ”
"The chiseled wall has been solved by borrowing light, and now there is only one one left, wandering in the distance!" I moved out of the final question.
"Wandering in the distance...... Wandering ...... far away"
Tang Yuying kept muttering: "Literally, far realm, means remote areas, wandering, in a sense, it means playing in the mountains and rivers." Sightseeing in the middle of nowhere?"
Tang Yuying's gaze turned to me, and her tone was uncertain.
"The explanation is such an explanation, but the corresponding historical figures, to be honest, I am a little wrong. I shook my head, helpless.
Even if I reasoned and explained according to the previous logic, it was difficult for me to find the corresponding name.
There is no goods in the stomach, and it is still a little worse after all.
Just as I was thinking about it, Tang Yuying suddenly raised her head: "Wait! I seem to have thought of it!"
"What comes to mind?" I hurriedly asked.
"If you're not mistaken, the historical figure corresponding to the wandering in the distant realm should be ...... Lu You!" Tang Yu Sakura was amazing.
"Land tour?" I raised my eyebrows: "It seems to be true, the region can also be understood as land, lounging is to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers on the land are not land tours?"
As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help laughing: "Lu You, Lu You...... That's right, it's Lu You! Eight idiom word puzzles, and now we have finally solved them!"
Tang Yuying also breathed a sigh of relief, and sorted out the answers she got: "Spreading her wings and soaring corresponds to Zhang Fei, flying birds returning to the house corresponds to Guan Yu, villain palm prints corresponds to Sun Quan, chiseling the wall and borrowing light corresponds to Kong Ming, the former male corresponds to Chen Sheng, wandering in the distant realm corresponds to Lu You, the doll offers a plan corresponds to Sun Ce, and the red heat hides Zhu Wen! Eight idiom anagrams, now all have answers!"
"You're awesome!
In addition to being excited, I hugged Tang Yuying and kissed it fiercely.
"Don't make a fuss!" Tang Yuying's face blushed slightly, "There are other people." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden movement on Liu Meng's side.
"Grass! finally fucking figured it out!"
Liu Meng wiped his forehead, almost covered with sweat.
Hearing the news, Tang Yuying and I glanced at each other and were immediately overjoyed.
We had just finished an anagram of eight idioms on the front foot, but we didn't expect them to solve a puzzle on the back foot.
"How's that?" I stepped forward, trying to make sure.
"It should be right!" Liu Meng nodded: "Lao Tzu thinks about it too much, and it has no effect at all, but fortunately, Xiao Tian is smart enough, she is the one who solved the answer!"
Speaking of this, Liu Meng also hugged Luo Tian's shoulder.
"You should be solving the second question, right?" Tang Yuying asked: "The second anagram is the name of the object: the bigger the better, the smaller the sadder, the longer the better, the shorter the sadder, the better during the day, and the sadder at night." So what's your answer?"
"It's a single-plank bridge!" Liu Meng spoke first, and then looked at Luo Tian again.
"Well, if you guessed correctly, it should be a single-plank bridge. Luo Tian nodded.
"A single-plank bridge?"
After a little thought, it quickly dawned on me: "Yes! ”
"What about you, are you done?" asked Liu Meng again.
Tang Yuying nodded, and didn't talk nonsense, and briefly explained the anagrams and answers of the eight idioms.
After listening, Liu Meng was completely confused, but Luo Tian's expression became extremely surprised after a little contemplation.
"There's one last puzzle left......"
I turned my gaze to Song Qian and Wang Gang.
Soon, all eyes were focused on the two.
"It's almost time, and judging by their expressions, it doesn't seem to have been resolved. Liu Meng frowned.
"Do any of you remember what the third question is?" I asked.
"The third question is to guess the word!" Tang Yuying quickly said: "The puzzle is: the east border foot is better, the woman is not willing to start a family, half a bite to eat, and the sound is worried." Each poem has a corresponding word, but the answer to the anagram does not seem to be simple. ”
"Estimate the time, it seems that there are only two or three minutes before the end of the guess!" Luo Tian said in surprise.
