Stepping on the ladder, Yuan Lai slowly wrote down the answer under the line of question.

Someone at the bottom looked up and read it word by word.

"What is the solution to this question? Before the saint made his words, it was empty. ”

Only this sixteen words, and then add the word 'Yuan' after the answer, it was done, and Yuan Lai immediately closed the pen.

"Before the saint spoke, it was empty?!......

Under the Xilin wall, there were young candidates, middle-aged and elderly relatives and friends, and they were suddenly silent when they saw the sixteen-character answer.

The meaning of this sentence is that there is nothing in heaven and earth before the saint speaks.

The circles scattered throughout the book separate the different speeches, both at the end of one sentence and at the beginning of another, and naturally it can also be said that before the speech, this line of thought is really ......

"Wonderful!" the middle-aged man was the first to speak.

"It's wonderful! I didn't expect this circle to be so understandable!"

"This answer is really amazing! I have consulted the Hongru in the capital, even they can't answer this kind of answer! The sage was empty before he spoke, could it be that this circle really means this?"

Some people are amazed and some people are not angry, there are too many teenagers under the Xilin wall, and the young man's heart is naturally unwilling to admit defeat.

Yuan Lai didn't care about what others said, it was said that he should go down the ladder after writing this answer, but he always felt a little uncomfortable going down like this, standing on the high ladder, you can see many scenery that others can't see, such as the Qinhuai River in the eyes is wider, the willows on the bank are smaller, and the group of buildings hiding Wuyi Lane in the distance is more spectacular.

The beautiful lines on the stone wall are also more beautiful.

An impulse suddenly surged in his heart, and he felt that he should also leave a question for this Miss Xie in order to be regarded as a courtesy.

But what is the question left?" he began to think, and after a moment a smile came to his face.

The candidates under the Xilin wall saw that the guy on the ladder lifted the pen again and began to write the words, and after a while, the pen was cleared, and a new question appeared under Xie Xueba's question.

"September 28 is Kong's Christmas Day, so what day is October 28?"

Yuan Lai nodded with satisfaction, then climbed down the ladder, waved his hand and left here with Yuan Li without talking to anyone, leaving only a back and a question for the candidates under the Xilin Wall.

A very old-fashioned topic in Yuan's eyes, and extremely strange in the eyes of the Qiguo people.

"This seems to be a test of the story, or the Misin, October 28th...... What day is this?" one candidate wondered.

"October 28...... I do know that the birthdays of several great figures in history are on this date, but what does this have to do with Confucius?"

"Since the previous sentence is about Kong Sheng, then it is very likely that these twenty-eight days are also related to Kong Sheng, but ...... Could it be that these two dates do not refer to the same year?"

"What kind of question is this, how is it as weird as that circle question, but fortunately, if you go back and check the books carefully, you should be able to find something......"

......

......

Yuan Lai didn't expect that he just wanted to tease the unknown girl opposite on a whim, so he casually used the sage in Xie Xueba's question to make such a brain teaser, but it caused a group of candidates to frown, and this strange question didn't know how many arrogant young people would not think about it, maybe it would also appear on the desk of an old gentleman who was proficient in history books in the evening.

Shi Qinglin and Lao Ding watched from afar as the young man who solved the problem climbed down the ladder and blended into the crowd, and they were a little surprised.

"Has anyone really solved that circle problem?" Shi Qinglin said in a daze.

Lao Ding smiled and said, "Where in the world is there a problem that can't be solved." ”

Shi Qinglin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Lao Ding, you said that Xie Xueba is amazing, right?"

"That's for sure, at least the girls must have read as many poems and books as a mountain. Lao Ding nodded fiercely.

"Then you say, is the person who can solve her question more powerful than her?" Shi Qinglin asked anxiously, a little excited.

Lao Ding glanced at his young master and knew his intentions, and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily, Miss Xie's question is really strange, if it happens that this person hits the mystery and solves it, maybe it will be luck, and it will be considered luck to take more, not to mention that we don't know if his answer is right or wrong." ”

"Well, that's the same," Shi Qinglin was a little disappointed, his eyes were slightly dim, and then said: "But you still have to keep an eye on this person and see if he comes, if you come more often, you should be able to see if you really have the ability, right?"

......

......

Yuan Lai's life has one more content, in addition to reading, meditating and cultivating vitality, it is necessary to go to the west forest wall of the Qinhuai River in the early morning to have a look, and the route of the morning run every morning is not only to the Baihua Lane, but also includes Qinhuai.

There were always fewer people in the early morning, and on the first day he didn't see anyone answering his question, so he enjoyed the rest of the questions for a while and then left. The next day he still didn't see anyone answering his question, so he paused for a while and left.

The Qinhuai River is becoming more and more lively, because the date of the opening of the examination in Beizong is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more candidates who come to the capital.

He was not in a hurry to communicate with other candidates, but his question made him more and more famous, Yuan Zi obviously became another name similar to Xie Zi, although he was not a scholar, but his question stumped countless people.

Liu Chonghu has never appeared in the Qinhuai River, and he doesn't know where he is cultivating now.

Shi Qinglin bought another set of thick "secret scrolls" and spent a lot of money, but he was very happy, because the bookstore that sold the book said that if he still failed the assessment after reading this set of secret scrolls, he would return the money in full.

Such a business does not lose money.

What no one knew was that in the early morning of the second day when Yuan Lai solved the problem that was jokingly called the circle problem, when the sky was just dawning, a figure came from the direction of Wuyi Lane, and the figure slowly came to the Xilin wall, looking up at the highest line of words on the tall stone wall and Yuan Lai's answer.

"Before the sage speaks, it is empty......" she read carefully, and then laughed.

"Yuan ...... Is it a last name or a given name?" she muttered to herself, and then saw Yuan Lai's question.

That question was just below hers, so it was close, so it wasn't easy to ignore.

"September 28 is Kong's Christmas Day, so what day is October 28?"

She also read it very earnestly, and then there was a long silence.

In silence, the rising sun rises from the surface of the Qinhuai River.

By the time Yuan Laichen ran here, she had already left.

In the same morning the next day, the girl who came from Wuyi Lane came a little late, and by the time she arrived, the young man from Shencheng had already left.

And she worked hard to move the ladder alone, climbed to the height of the Xilin wall, held the pen, and replied very seriously under Yuan Lai's question: "October 28 is the full moon of Confucius. ”

When she finished writing, she pondered slightly, picked up her pen and wrote down a new line.

So when Yuan Lai arrived here in the early morning of the third day, he was surprised to find the changes on the wall.

including their own questions being answered, as well as ...... Another new question, written in beautiful handwriting.
