Biquge.infoebook.jiangcao.
The name of last year's treasure is called the Thundering Fire Fan, which is a green fan inlaid with seven gemstones of different colors, this fan will also shine, beautiful, I don't know if this fan will be used as the first item this year, if so, I can witness the style of the fan again! The shopkeeper gushed endlessly.
"Thank you Xiaoer, these are your hard work!" After the shopkeeper's words ended, the emperor took out a silver ticket from his bosom and rewarded it to the shopkeeper.
"Guest...... Guest officer, this ...... This ......" saw the silver ticket handed over by the emperor, the shopkeeper didn't dare to pick it up, and he stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Less?" The Emperor raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, no, no, it's too much, too many small ones to take!" The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his hand.
"Xiao Er, you just take it, anyway, what he has is money, which is a drop in the bucket for him! Let's go buy a few more moons tonight! Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't dare to take it, Feng Yunhuang directly stuffed the silver ticket in the emperor's hand into the shopkeeper's hand.
"Huh? Mooncakes? What is a mooncake? The shopkeeper asked puzzled.
"Moon cake ......" Feng Yunhuang realized that moon cake is just the name of modern people, and there is no moon cake at all in this era.
"Oh, don't ask so much, I don't know how to explain it to you, anyway, he gives it to you and you just have it." Feng Yunhuang said again.
"Oh, then thank you, thank you, guest......" Xiao Er thanked him again and again, and left happily with the silver ticket.
"Huang'er, it's still early, and there's nothing to do, why don't we go find an inn to rest and participate in the lantern riddle guessing activity at night!" After the shopkeeper left, the emperor said to Fengyunhuang.
"Okay, then let's go to the Yuelai Inn, the Yuelai Inn is relatively close to the square, we can wait until the lantern riddle activity is about to start before we go!" Phoenix replied.
Then the two went to the counter to settle the bill, and then left the restaurant and went to the Yuelai Inn.
Night soon fell, and after dinner, Feng Yunhuang and the Emperor went to Shaking Light Square.
At this time, the periphery of the square was already full of people, there was no end in sight to the crowd, the noisy sound resounded all over the sky, the emperor and the emperor protected the phoenix and walked in the crowd with difficulty, originally he wanted to disperse the coercion and let those people automatically give way, but the phoenix said that there would be no fun to play, so the emperor did not disperse the coercion.
I finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, and found that they were still on the outskirts of the square, where a group of guards stood and blocked all the passages that could enter the square.
However, standing in this position, you can already see all the scenes in the square, only to see that there are lanterns hanging in the square, and a high platform has been built in the middle, and there are three small tables on the high platform, and a box of different sizes is placed on each table.
"Knock ......!"
Suddenly, a gong and drum sounded, and the scene slowly fell silent.
Then a middle-aged man in a red official uniform walked up to the high platform, he cleared his throat and slowly spoke: "Everyone, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival lantern riddle guessing activity is here again, this year's lantern riddle activity rules are the same as last year, with the number of answers and the correct rate of answering to calculate, within half an hour, the most correct answers can get today's jackpot, and today's jackpot is the thunder from the fire fan that was not sent out last year plus 10,000 taels of gold!" ”
After the words fell, the middle-aged official opened a long box, carefully took out a fan inside, and then he opened the fan, only to see that after the fan was opened, it showed the appearance of a bird flying with its wings open, covered with green feathers, and inlaid with seven gems of different colors, and the tail of the fan was also glowing with a faint purple light, which looked very beautiful.
"In addition, the second and third place finishers will also receive rare treasures, but the gold will be halved! The second place can get the Buddha Light Night Pearl, and the third place can get the thousand-faced glass cup. After putting down the thunder and leaving the fire fan, the middle-aged official's voice sounded again.
Then the middle-aged official picked up a box that was only the size of a palm, and then slowly opened the box, after the box was opened, a brilliant golden light suddenly emitted, the heaven and earth seemed to be covered with a layer of gold veil, the middle-aged official tilted the box slightly, and the contents were exposed in front of everyone's eyes, only to see that it was a fist-sized transparent bead, and it was this bead that emitted golden light.
This night pearl is different from the traditional night pearl, the traditional night pearl is emitting white light, it is said that the night pearl that can emit golden light has the function of warding off evil spirits, if it is worn on the body during the battle, it can also play a protective role, so this night pearl that exudes golden light is named the Buddha light night pearl, symbolizing auspiciousness.
After putting the Buddha Light Night Pearl back in its place, the middle-aged official opened the last box, which was a square box the size of a basin, as the box was opened, a light blue fluorescence overflowed, and as the contents of the box were taken out by the middle-aged official, the contents emitted a light blue fluorescence.
I saw that it was a cup-shaped item, the cup was a transparent blue, and the discerning person recognized this material as glass at a glance, and this cup noodle seemed to have a baby face of different shapes, in short, none of this cup noodle was smooth, no wonder it was named a thousand-faced glass cup.
"Okay, everyone has witnessed the rare treasures, and then it's time to guess the riddle, you just need to take the puzzle on the lantern, and then take it to the judges to fill in the riddle, and write your own name, and when the time comes, the judges will make a judgment to select the first, second, and third place, and the riddle guessing activity begins!" After putting the treasure back in its place, the middle-aged official shouted.
On the high platform, several guards immediately brought up an hourglass, and with the sound of gongs and drums, the hourglass was reversed and began to time.
At this time, the soldiers who blocked the entrance also gave way and let everyone enter the square and start guessing lantern riddles.
Feng Yunhuang pulled the emperor and rushed forward, and said while rushing: "Yu, hurry up, I want to thunder away from the fire fan and the Buddha's light night pearl!" ”
