"Didn't I say it? My name is the old man who guessed the riddle, haven't you heard of my legend?" said the old man with some surprise.

"Well, no, we've only heard of Santa Claus. Jin Yue replied with a serious face.

Hearing this answer, Ming Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"Santa Claus? What kind of old man is this? Forget it, I don't care about him, but it seems that you really haven't heard of me, tsk, you haven't even heard of the legend of the old man, and the young people are really lonely now. I'll just introduce myself to you two juniors. ”

"Listen, I'm an old man who travels the world all year round, and when I travel around the world, I leave behind some precious treasures somewhere in the world that I don't need. But if you want to get my treasure, you must first answer my puzzle correctly. Do you remember who I am now?" said the riddle man in a expectant tone.

After listening to this, Jin Yue said: "Oh, I probably know what kind of person you are, but you are not as good as Santa Claus, you still have to answer the questions correctly, but they will send them directly...... Hmm......" As Jin Yue spoke, Ming Feng hurriedly covered his mouth.

It doesn't make sense to talk to people in the game world about real-world things.

Ming Feng coughed and said to the old man who guessed the riddle: "Old man guess, according to what you said, you are going to ask us the puzzle next, and then let us guess, right?"

"Well, that's right, are you ready, the old man is going to start the question. ”

"Wait a minute, I have a few questions I would like to ask: if you answer correctly, you will open the box and the way out, so what will happen if you can't answer it, or if you answer it incorrectly. Ming Feng hurriedly asked, this question is very important, if the price of answering incorrectly is life, Ming Feng will never take this risk easily.

"Haha, don't worry, I can't tell you what I want to do to you, but you have to figure out your own way out. The old man understood Mingfeng's concern and comforted.

"So is there a limit to the number of times you can answer the questions?" Mingfeng continued.

"You really have a lot of questions, but a lot of questions means that you have a bright brain, young man, not bad. My puzzle is only allowed to be solved once, and if you get it wrong, you won't get a second chance, so take advantage of it. As for the time limit, it depends on how long my formation projection can last. How's that, are there any questions?"

Mingfeng replied, "No." ”

Jin Yue on the side said: "Only by answering the right questions can you move forward, and there are rewards, isn't this just a risk to decrypt, I have played too many games of this kind, come on!" Jin Yue looked very confident.

The old man looked at Jin Yue and said, "Oh, you are very confident." That's fine, young people do, but my puzzles are hard, so listen carefully. My puzzle this time is an anagram—"

"Puzzle: gold, wood, water, fire, and water, type. ”

"How's that, can you guess?"

"Jinmu water and fire, typing a word? It's such an anagram, then it's difficult, I thought it would be some kind of brain teaser. Mingfeng, you help me hold this little guy, and I'll take down the pen and paper. Jin Yue gave the little Xun Shadow Leopard to Ming Feng, and he took out a pen and paper from the bracelet and lay on the ground to start guessing the riddle.

"Jinmu, Water, Fire......" Ming Feng also meditated on this puzzle in his mind, and at the same time imagined possible permutations and combinations of Chinese characters in his mind.

Jin Yue wrote down the words "钅", "木 (next to the wooden character)", "氵", "火 (next to the word for fire)" and "金木水火" on the paper, trying to piece them together into a workable answer.

The old man smiled on the side, quietly looking at the two who were racking their brains.

"That's not right...... That's not right...... It would be impossible to use all the words. Ming Feng tried many permutations in his heart, and found that either they didn't fit the topic, or, they weren't even words at all. Ming Feng sighed, realizing that he couldn't think of it in a short time, so he looked at Jin Yue, who was lying on the ground and writing frantically.

Jin Yue's paper is full of all kinds of strange combinations, such as "holmium (huo, third tone)" and "mu", as well as words like "wood fire" that is not a word at all.

Of course, there is also the word "gan......

Looking at Jin Yue, who was scratching his head, Ming Feng found that Jin Yue's thoughts were similar to his own, and he was also trying to use "gold, wood, water and fire" to combine words, but in this case, there was a problem - it was impossible to use all the words. For example, if the word "Mu" has "water" and "wood", what about "fire" and "gold"? So it is obvious that this word will not be the correct answer.

"So the idea of combining 'gold, wood, water and fire' into words is obviously wrong," Mingfeng thought, "what should that idea look like?"

"Gold wood water fire, gold wood water fire. ”

Ming Feng had been silently reciting the puzzle, and suddenly, Ming Feng thought of something: "Why 'gold, wood, water, fire'? According to common sense, shouldn't it be 'gold, wood, water, fire, and earth......'?" Mingfeng seemed to grasp something, and said to Jin Yue:

"Jin Yue, lend me the pen. ”

"Did you think of anything? It's up to you, I can't think of it, my head is big. ”

Ming Feng half-squatted on the ground, holding Xiao Xun Shadow Leopard in one hand, and writing a completely different word on the paper with the other......

The word "soil".

"Jinmu, water and fire, only one soil word is missing, then, the correct answer should be related to this, yes, that's it, I have an idea!" Mingfeng said excitedly. Then write another word next to the word "soil......

The word "owes".

"Gold, wood, water and fire" but no "soil", isn't that "owing soil".

And "owing", combined with "soil", is......

"It's the word 'kan', the word 'kan' of 'bumpy'. Mingfeng said excitedly.

And Jin Yue saw the word "Kan" written by Ming Feng, and he also roughly understood the idea of understanding the question.

"That's right, I've tried so many messy words...... But Mingfeng, are you sure it's the answer, we're probably not going to be able to get out if we answer wrong. Jin Yue said.

Mingfeng said: "Of course I'm not sure, but this is the word that most resembles the answer, isn't it? ”

The old man on the side heard Ming Feng's words and said, "What, have you guessed the answer?"

"Well, guess, it's the word 'kan', the word 'kan' of 'bumpy'......" Ming Feng also said his thoughts to the old man who guessed the riddle.

After listening to Ming Feng's explanation, the old man nodded and said, "Well, yes, this statement is indeed reasonable, but it's just ......" The old man's expression suddenly became serious.

Seeing such an expression, Ming Feng's hearts sank instantly; "Could it be that you guessed wrong?"

"Congratulations, that's right!" The old man's expression suddenly became excited, and he gave a thumbs up to Mingfeng and the others.

"Gan!" both Ming Feng and Jin Yue couldn't help but burst into foul mouth.

"Isn't that funny?"
