Chapter 342: Sorrowful City
"This second question is a small story!"
The middle-aged man narrated: "Once upon a time, there was an outsider who gave birth to an only child, and he specially invited a gentleman to teach his son to read poetry and books. One day, a few distant friends came to the company's house, and it happened that the staff didn't know how to drink, so they asked their son's husband to accompany them. ”
"After drinking tea after a full meal, a friend pointed to the gentleman and asked, 'Who is this?' and the clerk stretched out his little finger and said, 'Is he? When the gentleman saw that he was sticking out his little finger, and thought that he was belittling him, he got up and went away, and went to the study to roll up the quilt and go home. ”
After the dinner was dismissed, the clerk knew that the gentleman did not understand his meaning and left, so he sent the servant to call the gentleman to come to the house once, saying that there was something important to discuss. The gentleman came to the house. The clerk said, 'I stretched out my little finger to introduce your name and occupation to a friend.' Why can't you even guess this riddle?' So he explained to him, and he listened to what the staff said, and returned to teach at home. ”
"This little story has been told," the middle-aged man looked at Cinnabar with a smile after finishing this, and said, "Do you know who this gentleman's surname is and what his occupation is?"
Cinnabar heard this very carefully, but it was a little difficult to answer for a while, and he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to think about it.
"What's the matter? Is it still stumped for you?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Cinnabar's face full of trouble, thinking that he had a plan.
"No, this gentleman is a teacher, naturally a teacher, and 'Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher,' this teacher is also ranked fifth, but it is not difficult to guess, but to tell the guests that this is the son's teacher!"
Cinnabar analyzed very seriously: "But if you ask the name of this gentleman, it is a little difficult, what does this little finger mean?"
He slapped his thigh suddenly, and shouted directly: "I know, his surname is Zhou?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he asked a little speechlessly: "Cinnabar Xiaoyou, how did you guess that his surname is Zhou?"
Cinnabar said with a smile: "According to many surnames, most of the ranking orders are Zhao Qiansun Li Zhou, so he is ranked fifth, so naturally the surname Zhou is undoubted!"
"Hey, I really can't beat you! If you are allowed to solve it so easily, how do you want to explain to Lord Demon Emperor?"
The middle-aged man's face was slightly red, and he looked embarrassed: "Okay, now I will read out an extremely difficult problem to see if you can solve it!"
"Listen, these are four strange poems, and I'll only read them once!"
He couldn't sit peacefully at the moment, so he immediately stood up directly, paced beside the cinnabar, shook his head and said: "The first song, I know that God comes to write, and I can win the transformation of the craft." Ancient wall immortal painting, Danqing still has a province. ”
"The second song: the pearl is handed over to the jade body, and the wood is difficult among the corals. Luo Yi is fluttering, and the light coat is born with the wind. ”
"The third song: Yazhang remarks the phoenix, the iron rides around the dragon city, the snow is secretly carved with flag paintings, and the wind is mixed with the sound of drums. ”
"The fourth song: that can be more north branches, self-divided flowers. Gao Yunjun knows whether or not he is in the ice and snow. ”
Cinnabar was extremely cautious to memorize the middle-aged man's words word by word, he was already a spiritual cultivator, and he had the 'Ice Heart Formula' as the foundation, so the four poems were also firmly remembered in his mind.
But no matter how smart and wise he is, it is almost impossible to give the other party an answer after listening to these four poems.
Moreover, this question is a question of more than 80 words in four verses, and there must be a certain connection between them, so how easy is it to integrate them in your mind and find out the meaning in them?
Cinnabar took a deep breath, then closed his eyes again, and went directly into thought, and the ice heart technique in his body was also running faster and faster, so that he could calm down to the greatest extent.
Seeing that Cinnabar was so solemn, the middle-aged man didn't dare to speak out at the moment, so he chose to sit down in the shade of the tree next to him, looking at Cinnabar with burning eyes, but his eyes were full of shock!
Although he and Cinnabar only spent half an hour together, the other party left too much impression on him.
This seemingly harmless young man, even in the face of sudden problems, can behave so calmly and calmly, which has already surpassed the realm of ordinary young people.
If you want to reach this step, you can't just have a high level of cultivation, but you must have seen thousands of arduous experiences and seen countless winds and waves before you can precipitate.
It's just a pity that such a talented person is not from my own demon race!
The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, and at the same time, he also remembered the ardent expectations he showed when the Demon Emperor sent him to garrison the first level!
"If this son is really so outstanding, then it is not too risky to bet on this son in the future, and the three of you are going to help me today to measure this son's strength, so as to help me make the final decision!"
......
Before you know it, more than three hours have passed!
At this moment, the little demon lord Yitong and the team of spirit beast clan centaurs were already approaching the range where Cinnabar was located about half a mile away.
His eyes, which were as black as ink, were also shining again and again at this moment, taking in all the scenes over there, and he was also a little worried in his mouth:
"Looking at this situation, Cinnabar has obviously been stumped by Uncle Jing's family, and what kind of problem is it, it has been solved for three hours, if it goes on like this, will it have to extend time indefinitely!"
His worries are naturally very normal, this middle-aged man of the Jing family is known as the number one think tank of the demon clan, and various strategies have always emerged in an endless stream, and he is one of the right and left hands of the Demon Emperor!
Although Cinnabar is the new "Holy Master" of the Spirit Beast Clan, if he wants to break out of his exam questions, I'm afraid it's not that simple!
At present, this is only the first level, and there are still two levels waiting for the follow-up, and the situation is obviously not optimistic!
Thinking of this, Yitong couldn't help but clench his fists subconsciously, and secretly said: Cinnabar, you have to speed up!
......
The middle-aged man surnamed Jing looked at Cinnabar's contemplative face, and his expression was also a lot soothed, and even a touch of joy appeared on his face!
Fortunately, this question finally stumped him, and he was able to make a mistake! And to be able to hinder the "Holy Master" of the dignified Spirit Beast Clan from this, wouldn't it be an honorable move for him?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a slight sound from the cinnabar! When he suddenly turned his head to look again, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded!
It turned out that at this moment, the cinnabar had stood up directly, and the smile like a spring breeze bloomed all over his face, and since he stood up, he didn't need to say much, and walked directly in the direction of the avenue behind!
"Ahh
And Cinnabar, who was striding forward with a meteor, heard his anxious shout, but he turned his head back directly, and smiled brightly at him:
"Senior, the problem has been solved, if you don't leave now, when will you stay?"
