Chapter 34: Level 1, Puzzles
Countless lights are lit up and spread around, and the colors are colorful, as if you are in a dream.
When they felt the shape, people realized that they were in a cave, and the lights were embedded in the cliff wall of the cave, and countless notes of different colors hung above their heads.
The gong sounded again, and the people present smelled it for the first time, looking in the direction of the sound. At the entrance of a small extra hole on the cliff, a man holding an ivory folding fan, wearing a white-clothed cloak and a blue-faced fanged Shura mask, tasted a sip of tea and said without hurrying or panicking, "Bet on the first game, guess the word puzzle, whoever guesses the most, the top ten can enter the next game, as for how to guess, there are no rules." ”
"Charade, what kind of bet is this? We don't know a word, I just want to win a daughter-in-law here. One of the big men spoke arrogantly.
At the same time, many people also coaxed along, and the purple-robed man beside Bai Mengtan blocked in front of her and tried his best to protect her.
The man in white at the entrance of the cave sneered, pinched the teacup in his hand and glanced at the few tea leaves floating in the cup.
"This tea is a good tea, but these tea leaves are too much of an eyesore." After finishing speaking, the teacup was quickly shot out of his hand, and at a lightning speed, the teacup was in the middle of the big man's forehead, and his huge body fell to the ground in an instant, unconscious.
Someone who was not afraid of death stepped forward to touch his nose, glad and shouted, "Not dead, just unconscious." ”
Everyone's hearts suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The man in white beckoned and ordered, "Throw it out." ”
Immediately afterwards, a disciple wearing a ghost mask dragged the big man away.
"Since everyone has come to Guigu Pavilion, it is a guest, and the guest is as good as the host, if you want to win the gambling contract, then follow the rules here, time is a stick of incense."
On the tea table beside him, there was a lotus white porcelain incense burner, on which a thin incense stick was lit, and smoke rose in a curling way.
"Three...... Third son, what should we do? Zhuzhu leaned on Bai Mengtan's shoulder and said in fear.
Bai Mengtan pretended to laugh calmly, "Isn't it just a riddle?" Who is afraid of whom. ”
The purple-robed man beside her looked at her suspiciously, and smiled lightly, "It seems that the child's knowledge is only eight buckets?" ”
"There, there?" Bai Mengtan replied embarrassedly by covering his face with his hands.
Charades, she is the least adept, she should not have dragged others here if she knew so.
For a while, everyone in the cave completely forgot about the previous embarrassment, and everyone was eager to try it in order to win the bet.
There are people who get the puzzle right and people who get it wrong and people who hurt themselves.
Everyone who comes here has a different purpose.
The purple-robed man tore off a few puzzles casually and handed them to Bai Mengtan, "Doesn't Childe guess?" ”
Bai Meng smiled and waved his hand, "These simple puzzles, just give them to guess!" Let's just see the excitement. ”
The man's thin eyebrows raised and smiled, "Since you're here, Childe might as well have fun." ”
After speaking, holding Bai Mengtan's little hand and shuttling between the crowd, Zhuzhu was anxious to follow their footsteps while squeezing through the crowd.
"Chang'e ran to the moon and didn't see the woman." The purple-robed man held a white puzzle in his hand, talked carefully, glanced at the person next to him, and continued with a smile.
"E's word goes to the girl, guess what this mystery is."
"It's my word." Bai Mengtan immediately replied when he heard it.
The man placed the puzzle in her palm, "You can put it away, and you will have to hand it in later." ”
Bai Mengtan obediently quickly put away the puzzle that was answered correctly.
As soon as they asked and answered, the time for a stick of incense was coming soon, and they looked at the puzzle full of them in their arms.
Bai Mengtan is sincerely grateful to the great nobleman in front of him. If he hadn't been there, she would have died of embarrassment.
The gong sounded.
Everyone turned in the answers to their puzzles.
When the list was finally announced, Bai Mengjing was on the list.
This name is the pseudonym that Bai Mengtan likes to use when he goes out.
"Childe's original name is Dream Scene, and the dream is full of mirrors and moons, which is really wonderful." When the man learned of Bai Mengtan's name, his face showed joy.
"Praise, I still don't know my son's surname after getting along for a few hours?" Bai Mengtan then remembered that everyone had followed you all the way, and he didn't know what other people's names were, which was really ashamed.
Taking this name, Bai Mengtan was completely troublesome, so he blindly changed a word after his name.
But those who can take the surname Bai in Qi Capital City must be related to the royal family, and the dream word can only be owned by the descendants of the Bai family.
The man in white wearing the Shura mask at the entrance of the cave, after hearing this name, hurriedly fixed his eyes on Bai Mengtan's location.
I saw a petite man talking happily with another elegant man.
It wasn't until he saw the familiar face that he saw it all too well, and the ivory folding fan in his hand fell to the ground.
The disciple behind him hurriedly squatted down and picked up the folding fan on the ground, kneeling down to offer it.
"Little prince, the fan has fallen."
Bai Xiyang's face hidden behind the mask was simply a mess of sorrow, and he clenched his teeth. The third princess of the Bai family is really uneasy, it's not fun there, but she still came to his Guigu Pavilion, and she also brought a man.
Speaking of the man beside Bai Mengtan, Bai Xiyang was even more helpless, grabbed the folding fan and kept fanning, but layers of thin sweat still appeared on his forehead.
This person is not the concubine of the Xiao family's second room, and is now favored by Xiao Guifei and holds the economic power of the Xiao family.
Why is he with Bai Mengtan? The third princess of the Bai family looks not very smart on weekdays, so she shouldn't be deceived.
He recruited a disciple to find out the purpose of Bai Mengtan's coming here, and if there was any movement in them, he would immediately report it to him.
After thinking for a moment, he ordered someone to fly a pigeon and pass the book to the palace.
The purple-robed man beside Bai Mengtan, with a light smile and soft eyes, showed that the stars in the night sky were generally good-looking and warm, "The second child is surnamed Xiao, if the son doesn't like it, you can call me second brother." ”
"Second Brother Xiao, this is polite." Bai Mengtan arched his hand and called sweetly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Bai Xiyang walked back and forth at the entrance of the cave, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, afraid that Xia Yeteng would beat him to death as soon as he came.
Zixuan Palace, partial courtyard bamboo building.
"Can the third princess come back tonight?" Xia Yeto finished the last stroke of calligraphy and painting on the table, and questioned the three trees who had just come back.
"Report to His Royal Highness, the third princess has not returned to the palace yet." Miki replied with a fifteen-ten answer.
At this time, the pen in Xia Yeteng's hand was instantly broken in half, and his thin lips were lightly raised, looking at the night sky outside the window.
Presumably whether he punished "Female Virtue" is not enough.
At this moment, a white dove flew in through the window.
Natsuya Vine pulled out the white dove and tied a bamboo tube to his feet, and unfolded the letter inside.
With a serious expression, he said sharply, "My cat also knows that it is fishy." ”
"What is written in His Royal Highness's letter?" Seeing that his master's expression was wrong, Miki asked cautiously.
I saw that the letter paper in his hand had already been reduced to pieces.
"Let's go, get out of the palace and catch my cat."
Bai Mengtan and others successfully entered the second level.
In order to delay Bai Mengtan's time even more, Bai Xiyang deliberately increased the difficulty.
In the second level, three people enter the secret room in groups.
On the opposite wall of the chamber was a square pusher, on which were intricately arranged small squares. Before coming in, the masked man reminded him that he could only come out if he answered the questions correctly, and if he didn't answer correctly, he would only be released after the gambling contract was over.
Worried about face, Bai Mengtan entered the secret room hard.
For calculation questions, Bai Mengtan's braincase has never been bright enough.
"Childe, we don't know this, don't we?" Zhu Zhu, who had been following behind Bai Mengtan, looked around at the gloomy secret room and said timidly.
Bai Mengtan was not angry, and gave her a blank look.
Originally, she was fine, but she was interrupted by Zhuzhu, and after a closer look, there were faint lights on both sides of the question on the wall, and even the ground under her feet was full of rotten moisture.
For Bai Mengtan, who has died once, even if he is a beautiful man at present, his face is heavy, and he really has to wait until the end of the gambling contract, I don't know when it will be.
It's really uncomfortable.
When the disaster is at the head, the face is nothing.
I really regret it!
"That'...... That, do you know how to ask Second Brother Xiao? Bai Mengtan opened his mouth in embarrassment and asked in a low voice.
This little appearance is as cute as it is.
Xiao Tingxuan looked down at her, with a soft smile on his elegant face, in fact, since Bai Mengtan left the pear orchard, he knew that she was his daughter.
