Chapter 301: Lantern Riddles
"I see, he is worthy of being the senior brother with the highest understanding, and he can actually figure out the thoughts of a living Buddha!" Hearing this, Zen Master Huaisheng suddenly looked at his brother's broad mind and compassionate expression, and couldn't help but sigh to himself, in addition to admiring his brother more, he also respected the living Buddha more and more.
If this is the case, then I must handle all these things properly and not let the Living Buddha disappoint the two of them!
……
After handing over these matters to the two monks to deal with, Du Bai relaxed for the time being.
Although it seems that the strength of the two monks is slightly weaker than himself, but that is because there are a little too many plug-ins on his body, not only the ghost king and righteousness, but also the Buddha bones, the three complement each other, if you play your best, the strength is strong.
The strength of these two people against ordinary demons is still good, otherwise the spider spirit before would not have been forced to flee in all directions.
The only thing you need to care about is the mastermind behind the demonic things in the name of "immortals", and it's hard to say if there will be any moths in it.
But I'll save that for later.
Tonight, he hopes to accompany Su Wanmiao to enjoy this lantern festival.
……
It was soon nighttime.
It was already dark, but the streets outside were still as bright as day. Even if you are still in the Su Mansion, you can vaguely see the brilliant colorful light outside.
The night lantern festival has already begun.
"Sister, let's get out quickly! If it's late, you may not be able to catch up with a good position! Although Su Zhirou had already gone out once at noon, she was still looking forward to it, and she urged coquettishly as soon as she finished eating.
After all, this kind of lantern festival is a completely different style during the day and at night.
"Good, good." Su Wanmiao said with a smile.
After the day's work is finally over, I can now have a little free time to enjoy the beautiful night view at a leisurely pace.
Of course, in fact, with the status of the Su family, there will be no situation where there is no position, just talk about it.
The carriage had been waiting outside the door for a long time, Su Zhirou and Ying'er got into the carriage first, and just when Su Wanmiao was about to get on the carriage under the help of the maid, Du Bai's heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Lady, why don't we go for a walk together......
"Let's go?" Su Wanmiao was stunned.
"Yes, although you don't have to walk by yourself in the carriage, it's less fun, isn't it, it's a rare opportunity, why don't we go together......" he nodded and smiled.
Su Wanmiao looked at him stunned for a while, and then nodded with a light smile: "It's okay......"
"Then Ying'er will go with you!" A small head came out of the carriage, and it was the little girl Ying'er who happily raised her hand and proposed.
Just immediately, Su Zhirou behind her stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and forcibly pulled her back into the carriage, winking at Du Bai while grinning: "No! She doesn't want to go! Sister, you two go slowly! Coachman, let's go! ”
"Uh-huh......"
The sound of Ying'er struggling came from the carriage, but she was forcibly pressed down by Su Zhirou, and as the coachman waved his whip and drove the carriage slowly away, Su Zhirou's pretended old-fashioned lesson could be faintly heard.
"Are you stupid? Sister, the two of them are sweet, what are you going to do......"
Ying'er was aggrieved and aggrieved.
Su Wanmiao obviously heard these words, her snow-white face couldn't help but be a little flushed, and she subconsciously looked up at Du Bai beside her, and saw that he was also looking at herself with a smile, and looked away in a little panic.
"Zhirou, this girl ......"
"Let's go, she's right." Du Bai took the initiative to take her hand, feeling a little coolness from the silky skin, and clenched it a little.
"This is a rare world for two......"
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, this lantern will be slightly worse than the magnificent scene of modern times, but it has a kind of Jiangnan minor like warmth unique to this era.
The two walked hand in hand side by side through the hustle and bustle of the street market, looking at the rows of lanterns on both sides, sometimes looking at the children around them who were jumping happily because they got the candy, and the pavilions on both sides faintly heard the sound of drinking and eating, the two looked at each other and laughed, and there was a warmth from the heart.
After walking for a while, it happened that there was a charade in front of them, and the two of them also went to join in the fun.
It is said that if you can guess the anagram correctly, you will receive a small lantern, which seems to be interesting. Unlike those anagrams written on street lanterns, which were made by the merchants themselves, perhaps to attract some customers, the anagram was less coppery and more elegant.
However, this difficulty is also relative, such as Du Bai, a learned person may be simpler, and the ordinary people around who are dressed in ordinary clothes may not recognize many big characters, and they just come here to see the excitement.
Just when Du Bai and the others walked over, they saw that the two scholars were standing in front of the stall, as if they were frowning and thinking, it seemed that this lantern was not so easy to take.
"Would you like this boy to give it a try? I've got all the good lanterns here. The stall owner smiled and said, "Even if you can't guess the lantern riddles, it doesn't matter, these lanterns can also be bought with money......
Du Bai's gaze swept over the row of lanterns in his hand, depicting quite cute types, which should please children or girls, in fact, he was also attracted by these at the beginning, it seems that this stall owner really has some business acumen.
At this moment, the two scholars next to him never seemed to be able to guess and gave up, so they simply took out some money and bought two lanterns, which should have been given back. Then they didn't rush to leave, obviously they also saw Du Bai and the others, and they had a little intention of watching the excitement.
The word puzzles made by this stall owner are a little difficult, and naturally he is looking forward to seeing the same failures as them, so that his heart can be balanced.
Du Bai didn't care about them, just pointed to a rather delicate small lantern next to him and said, "I want this lantern, please ask for a question!" ”
"Haha, Childe is quite confident, okay, please look at the question." The stall owner looked surprised, after all, many big talkers had already lost at his hands tonight.
Du Bai took the note and glanced at it briefly, there were three riddles on it, and only if all three were answered correctly could you get the lantern.
The first question: "Shrimp playing in the water in the mountain streams on all sides".
The second question: "Looking south at the lone star and the moon rising".
The third question: "Two forms in one, four branches and eight heads, four eight one eight, flying springs and upward flows".
Su Wanmiao also frowned after a glance, and thought about it for a while but there was no result: "This topic is a little difficult ......"
She couldn't even guess one. Won't the Xiang Guild also feel embarrassed? If he really liked the lantern, he might as well buy it himself......
The stall owner looked like he was in a good mood, and obviously guessed the difficulties of the two. After all, just one riddle can make many people, let alone connect these three questions!
It's just that when Su Wanmiao hesitated to speak, she noticed that Du Bai still looked calm, and didn't seem to be embarrassed, but subconsciously didn't interrupt. She decided to trust Du Bai's choice.
Soon, Du Bai confidently picked up the pen, wrote down the mystery on the paper with a few strokes, and handed it back to the stall owner who was a little surprised.
"Please take a look, I wonder if I got it right?"
"Oh?"
The stall owner took the paper with some surprise, and when he looked down carefully, his eyes slowly widened, as if he looked unexpected.
