Chapter 147: Lantern Riddle Competition
This so-called lantern ring is actually a small game. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two of them stood on a makeshift platform, and the host assigned the riddles in the lighthouse for the two of them. From low to high, from easy to difficult, there are a total of seven riddles, and whoever gives the correct answer first will win the game. In seven rounds, whoever wins more will have the final victory.
However, for a long time no one could solve the last puzzle, which was the anagram on the giant lantern on the seventh floor. So, there is a situation where both of them will answer three puzzles. And when this happens, whoever solves the more superior puzzles wins.
The so-called superior puzzles are the fourth, fifth, and sixth layer puzzles. These puzzles, the higher you go, the more difficult they become, and ordinary people just look at the one, two, and third floors.
Moreover, if the two of them can't think of an answer in the half-pillar incense, it will be over directly.
The rules are simple, and there is no problem for everyone. There are some flaws, but they are harmless.
Rules, in fact, are not really perfect and fair. As long as everyone follows a rule, then the rule is actually fair.
There was no nonsense, Xuanyu and Lu Hao went directly to the ring.
Xiao Qiao and the others were all watching nervously below, no matter who it was, no matter which side of the person it was, the mood was not calm at this time.
The host is a little monk, and seeing that Xuanyu and the two are extraordinary, he didn't have much reaction. Monks, that's it.
"The first question, the eighteenth lantern on the first floor."
That's how the question is written, it doesn't tell you the question directly, but you have to find it yourself. This has caused many people to not find it, but others have already guessed it. Some people are talented, but unfortunately their eyes may be a little difficult to use......
Naturally, this situation would not happen to the two of them, and when the little monk's voice just fell, the eyes of the two directly locked on the lantern.
"Three waters overwhelm the mountain. -- type. ”
Almost instantly, Xuanyu spoke: "Dang! ”
"Dang!" Although Lu Hao also said the correct answer, his speed was a little slower than Xuanyu.
"The benefactor won." The little monk said to Xuanyu with a smile.
Xiao Qiao in the audience cheered for Xuanyu happily, her eyes were bright and beautiful. Zhen Mi's eyes also lit up, and her eyes looking at Xuanyu were full of different colors. Zhen Mi is a talented woman who reads poetry and books, and Zhen Mi is naturally close to knowledgeable people. How can you not be happy when you see your husband like this now?
Lu Ming over there was different, his face was complicated, and he muttered in a low voice: "It must be luck." Su Zixuan, who was beside him, sighed softly, luck? Heh, joke.
There was some inexplicable meaning in Su Zixuan's eyes, and looking at the two figures on the stage, he was a little worried.
"The second question, the seventh lantern on the second floor."
Similarly, as soon as the little monk's words fell, Xuanyu said the correct answer.
"Wearing a golden crown is called a king. -- type. ”
"Lord."
This kind of anagram, Xuanyu hardly has to react. Moreover, with his powerful sea of consciousness, Xuanyu exuded spiritual sense, and he had already surrounded the entire lighthouse. Although there were many lanterns on this lighthouse, Xuanyu hardly had to look for them. As long as the little monk says the lantern, the puzzle on the lantern will appear directly in Xuanyu's sea of knowledge.
On the other hand, Lu Hao, his luck this time was not so good, and when Xuanyu said the answer, he had just found the puzzle. Although Lu Hao's cultivation is also outstanding among the younger generation, in front of Xuanyu, it is still not enough.
Lost one more game.
Lu Hao's hands behind his back were already tightly clenched. A pair of divine eyes, staring intently at Xuanyu. He found that although he had looked up to Xuanyu high enough before, but now he realized that he was afraid that he still underestimated him. A person like Xuanyu, no matter how high he looks, is not enough.
"The third question, the eleventh lantern on the third floor."
"Little by little, everybody has it. -- type. ”
"Head!"
As soon as the little monk's voice fell, he said the correct answer. However, this time it was not Xuanyu.
Lu Hao's tense body relaxed slightly, and he looked at Xuanyu with a smile in his eyes.
The eleventh lantern on the third layer happened to be in front of Lu Hao's eyes, and this puzzle had already been seen by Lu Hao just now. He already knew the answer, so he almost blurted it out.
Xiao Qiao pouted slightly, Lu Ming on the other side looked at the two girls provocatively, Xiao Qiao turned his head directly and pretended not to see it.
Lu Hao answered a question, and there was no fuss. However, his speed made Xuanyu a little surprised.
"Huh." After a little thought, Xuanyu knew the reason for this.
This is not Xuanyu's imagination, Lu Hao's cultivation is destined to make it impossible for him to find the lantern faster than Xuanyu. Coupled with the time to think, Xuanyu didn't believe that Lu Hao would have this kind of strength.
"Question 4, the twenty-first lantern on the fourth floor."
This time, no one immediately said the answer.
Everyone in the audience also listened to the little monk's words, and immediately looked at the lighthouse and found the lantern.
"There are worms but no holes, and there are nests but no bees. There is no silkworm, and there is no umbrella but no person. -- Hit an object. ”
Obviously, this puzzle is much more difficult than the previous three.
The people in the audience were also racking their brains to think, Zhen Mi frowned slightly, Zhen Mi is such a beauty, even the frowning action looks pleasing to the eye.
There is no shortage of talented and beautiful people in places like temple fairs, but beauties like Xiao Qiao and Zhen Mi are still extremely rare. However, rare doesn't mean there isn't. Not far away, there is one.
Almost the same as Zhen Mi, he was frowning and looking at the puzzle.
"Lotus root." Xuanyu said the answer in a whisper, this question is indeed a bit difficult, but for Xuanyu, it only needs to think about three breaths.
Everyone looked at Xuanyu in surprise, and even the little monk who presided over was a little surprised, "The degree of the donor's talent and agility is what the little monk has seen in his life." The answer is lotus root, congratulations to the donor. ”
Xuanyu smiled and didn't speak.
The people on the scene, especially the beauty, had a look of appreciation in their eyes, which was almost beyond words. Xuanyu seemed to feel the gaze from the beauty, and her eyes glanced at it casually. Suddenly, a figure came into his eyes.
"I didn't expect to meet her here, it's a coincidence in this world." Xuanyu muttered to himself in his heart, and suddenly thought that this was outside Congming Temple, and Cai Wenji seemed to be temporarily living in Congming Temple. Perhaps, it is not a coincidence that they met.
Cai Wenji's eyes were like water, looking at Xuanyu on the stage, this was the second time the two met since they met in the morning class. It's just two sides, but Cai Wenji remembers this man deeply. The shock of that morning's class, Cai Wenji can't forget it anyway.
"Question 5, twenty-one lanterns on the fifth floor."
Retracting his gaze, he concentrated on the puzzle, as for the matter of finding the lantern, Xuanyu basically didn't need it.
At this time, it was already the fifth layer, and there were not many lanterns, so Lu Hao didn't need to spend time looking for lanterns.
Almost in a moment, Lu Hao found the lantern. Glancing at the puzzle above, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Hao's mouth. Glancing at Xuanyu, he saw that Xuanyu was expressionless, as if he was thinking.
After a few breaths, Lu Hao said unhurriedly: "The answer is to ask." ”
Xuanyu frowned, he had already figured out the answer, but he didn't expect to be taken first by Lu Hao.
"No barking at the beginning."
The answer is precisely the word "ask".
This question is also something that Lu Hao has read a long time ago. Knowing the answer, Xuanyu was naturally not his opponent. All the puzzles on the fifth and sixth floors, Lu Hao had almost read them just now, and some of them he couldn't guess, he also asked for the answers.
I have to say that these five or six layers of puzzles are really difficult, even if it is Lu Hao, he doesn't dare to say that he can guess the answer to all of them. What's more, it's still time-limited.
Lu Hao felt that he was already winning, and he didn't believe that Xuanyu could guess the answer faster than himself. Even if Xuanyu could guess them all, what was the use?
Can he be faster than himself? Lu Hao didn't believe it.
"Sixth question, sixth lantern on the sixth floor."
The last question is the time for the decisive decision.
"One by one, they will go down in history. -- type. ”
It's another anagram, and it's extremely difficult.
The people in the audience stared at the two nervously, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed to freeze.
Xuanyu frowned slightly, this question is not simple.
Lu Hao looked at Xuanyu with a smile in his eyes, he didn't guess this question himself at the time, and finally asked those who knew it and suddenly realized.
Lu Hao was not in a hurry, he gave Xuanyu some time, he didn't believe that he couldn't guess the puzzle, Xuanyu could guess it.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Hao seemed extremely relaxed.
Zhen Mi on the field and Cai Wenji on the other side both frowned tightly and thought hard.
The puzzle of the sixth layer is by no means ordinary, and the two talented women have been thinking hard about it, and they have no clue.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Ming was a little anxious, after all, if Lu Hao didn't guess it, then they would lose.
"It's okay, I can't guess." Little Joe comforted himself.
However, at this moment, Lu Hao said slowly: "What's more, the mystery is more." After saying that, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
However, to his disappointment, Xuanyu's face at this time turned out to be Gujing Wubo. There is no stunned or angry anger as Lu Hao imagined.
"In this one, the donor won." The little monk said to Lu Ming with a smile, and Lu Ming said to Xuanyu with a smile: "Master Xuanyu, how is it?" ”
"What?" Xuanyu said lightly.
Lu Hao said: "The son lost, do you want to cheat?" ”
Xuanyu said: "Did I lose?" ”
Lu Hao said seriously: "You lost!" ”
Xuanyu shook his head slightly, and said indifferently: "I didn't lose." ”
