Chapter 5 Puzzle solving
There was still some time before the opening of Cangzhao Academy, and the three of them decided to have a good time here for a few days.
Today is the annual puzzle-solving conference in Chiqi City, and I heard that the head of the night family in Chiqi City is obsessed with solving riddles at night, so a guessing conference will be held in Chiqi Square every year, and the person who has successfully solved the most riddles can ask him a question.
If someone asks the question of who would want to participate in the prize for winning, they would be very wrong.
Although his strength as the head of a family is only a seventh-order spirit king, it is said that he knows everything and knows everything, known as the encyclopedia of the Douling Continent, and I don't know how many people want to win in this guessing conference.
This year, unlike previous years, this year's format has changed from solo to team, with a maximum of four players per team, and which team solves the most puzzles adds up to the winning team, and the team can ask two questions.
After Sang Luo heard about it, he pulled up Yu Ling and Jiufang Meow Meow and signed up, this is a great opportunity, solve the mystery? She loves to play this when she has nothing to do with her grandfather.
On the day of the race, the square was filled with lanterns, and countless red lanterns dazzled everyone, and between every five lanterns stood a lantern keeper, whose role was to distribute mini lanterns.
The lantern is the puzzle of this guessing conference, the puzzle has poems, words, patterns and other forms, guess the puzzle correctly you can get a mini version of the red lantern. In the end, whichever team gets the most lanterns is the winner.
Sang Luo took the two of them to choose a group of lantern riddles that were all words, and asked Wen Yan to the lantern keeper, "Can each team solve the riddle separately?" β
Seeing that the lamp keeper nodded, Sang Luo raised his chin at Jiufang.
According to the discussion at noon, if you can solve the puzzle separately, you will be divided into a group of Sang Luoyu Ling, and Jiufang Meow will be in a group by itself.
Jiufang Meow Meow is good at solving patterns, and he chose a puzzle of the pattern and went.
Sangluo looked at the first lantern, and the riddle on this lantern was: there are birds in the river, and they don't fly or call. Bathing in the water, and when you hear the sound, you will fall. Enigma: One word.
It's not difficult, Sang Luo pointed to the lantern and said, "This puzzle is an island. β
I saw that the lantern keeper took out a mini version of the big red lantern and handed it to Sang Luo, and said with a smile: "The girl is really ice and snow smart, you can know the answer at a glance, you might as well take a look at other lanterns." β
Sang Luo nodded, but suddenly found that the last lantern was different from the other lanterns, the word on the riddle was not black but gold, and the riddle was: Farewell to the two spies in the world, a family of five talk homely. Enigma: The word two.
The lantern keeper looked at Sang Luo staring at the lantern with gold letters, shook his head and said, "This kind of lantern with gold characters is more difficult, but if you can answer that you can get three lanterns at a time, why don't you take a look at the other lanterns first." β
Sang Luo chuckled lightly and shook his hand at Yu Ling, who was looking at the sky in a daze, "Yu Ling, I don't know, what to do, do you know?" The smile was a little sly.
Hehe, she suddenly had a bad taste, knowing that unless he wanted to speak, he was a pure mute, and he didn't want him to solve the mystery at all, just lie down with her to win, but now I really want to see what he will say.
Yu Ling didn't even take his eyes off the sky, and said lightly: "You know." β
Boring aftermath!
The lantern keeper was a little stunned, could it be that this girl knew?
In the next second, I only heard Sang Luo pointing to the lantern and said: "Farewell to the two of them, 'withholding', 'begging', 'spying farewell to the world', deducting 'wood', and comprehensively sorting out the bottom 'mystery'. β
"So, this riddle is a riddle."
There was a burst of applause, and I saw that the person who came was wearing an ice-blue narrow-sleeved gown, with a royal blue silk thread embroidered with Tengyun auspicious patterns on the placket and cuffs, and indigo trousers tied in brocade boots.
This is a richly dressed man, the man's body is dignified, but his face is wearing a black mask covering most of his face, and the surprise in his eyes flashes.
"Xiaoyou really knows the answer just by looking at it?" The man's eyes behind the mask were a little excited.
Sang Luo nodded politely, "Is there anything wrong with you?" β
"I have a few puzzles here, I wonder if I can invite you to sit in the Humble House."
Yu Ling had already withdrawn his eyes in a daze, and was staring at the jade pendant on the man's waist at the moment, and in the next second, he only heard him say, "Promise him." β
Yes? Sang Luo was a little puzzled, but they were still competing, so they solved two puzzles.
"You go, I'll follow Nine... Continue with decryption. β
Yu Ling has talked about this, Sang Luo is not so stupid, maybe this man knows the head of the Ye family, or or, he is the head of the Ye family, Ye Inquiry.
But if you don't remember the name, is it okay? Sang Luo stepped over to Yu Ling's ear and whispered: "Outsiders won't expose you in me, others are called Jiufang Meow, you remember this time, now go to her, I'll go over and see the situation." With that, he nodded to the man in agreement.
Yu Ling's body moved, but his steps didn't move.
The masked man casually glanced at Yu Ling, who was also excellent-looking, and then said, "Please." β
Looking at the figures of the two of them in the distance, Yu Ling pointed to the remaining three lanterns and said one by one: "Quan, bridge, finger." β
The lantern keeper was stunned again, and it wasn't until Yu Ling stretched out his hand that he hurriedly gave him the three lanterns plus the three lanterns that Sang Luo had just solved the puzzle.
Now, Yu Ling has a total of seven lanterns in his hands.
He didn't plan to look for Jiufang Meow at all, and walked towards the next lamp keeper.
Night home, study.
"Yes, I'm just a night inquiry." The man took off his mask, revealing a rather handsome face.
Sang Luo was stunned, it turned out to be really a night inquiry, how did Yu Ling guess?
Ye Xun smiled, "No intention to disturb, the golden puzzle is indeed not difficult, but I have never met anyone who knows the answer just by looking at it, do you like solving puzzles very much?" β
"I don't like it, but I just played a lot with my grandfather since I was a child"
Nodding thoughtfully, Ye Xun finally said his purpose: "Actually, I want to ask you to help me solve the problem." β
Sang Luo's eyebrows moved slightly, and his tone was sincere, "The master of the night family has lifted me, how can I solve the problem that you can't solve." β
"Why not give it a try? It doesn't matter if you can't solve it, I can promise you a problem. β
This condition is really exciting, Sang Luo couldn't refuse at all, and after thinking about it, he agreed.
I saw that Ye Xun took out a few yellowed notes, which looked a little old, opened one of the notes and handed it to Sang Luo, "You take a look first?" β
The riddle on the note seems to be only a few very simple sentences: before and after the ridge, from the left and right, up and down, fragrant night and day.
"Before and after the ridge, from the left and right, up and down, fragrant night and day," Sang Luo muttered to himself, this anagram is mainly made of the direction method, the method of understanding and the method of stacking blocks, which is somewhat difficult.
Ye Xun looked at the girl talking to herself in front of him expectantly, and the urgency in his eyes almost overflowed, not like a family head at all.
Sang Luo felt that if she didn't speak again, she would be overwhelmed by his eyes, so she put her hand in front of her mouth and coughed: "It's not difficult to say, this anagram uses the orientation method, the meaning method and the stacking method at the same time, and the most important difficulty is the first sentence "before and after the ridge".
In the starry eyes of the night inquiry, Sang Luo spoke again: "This sentence is easily misunderstood as finding the "front" and "back" parts of the word "ridge", which makes people confused. It can be paused in this way, the front/back of the ridge, which means the "front" part of the word "ridge" (here refers to the "dragon") (the word "" of this "should be noted) the "back" part of the face, here take "seven". In the second sentence, "from the left and right", the "left and right" parts of the word "from" are all "people", and "δΊ»" is taken here. In the third sentence, "reckless up and down", the "up and down" parts of the word "reckless" are all "θΉ", and "θΉ" is taken here. The "seven", "δΊ»" and "θΉ" obtained in the first three sentences are piled up like stacked blocks to form the word "flower". The last sentence "fragrant night and day" means "to add fragrance to day and night", and the word "flower" in the mystery is in line with this characteristic. β
So guess the word "flower". β
After saying it in one breath, Sang Luo was really tired, and the night inquiry beckoned a small guy to pour tea, and then took the note and followed what she said one by one.
"Seconds, seconds, why didn't I think of it?" Ye Xun kept nodding while looking at it: "Dare to ask what Xiaoyou is called, what is your grandfather's name, can you recommend it, I will treat you with kindness." β
Sang Luo's eyes were a little dim, and he shook his head: "Master of the Night Family, my name is Sang Luo, my grandfather's name is Ye Guang, just an ordinary old man, he has passed away." β
Ye Xun lowered his chin in annoyance, "I'm sorry, Sang Xiaoyou, I didn't know your grandfather and him...... But how could your grandfather be an ordinary person? β
"Why did the Night Master say that?" Sang Luo's eyes widened slightly, and his expression obviously looked incomprehensible.
I saw Ye Xun chuckle a few times, picked up the note in his hand and held it in the air, and slowly spoke: "Do you know how difficult the mystery you just solved is?" β
Sang Luo shook his head, thinking to himself, "Is it difficult? β
As if knowing what she was thinking, Ye Xun took back the note and walked towards the door, staring at the moon for a while, before he said: "Your grandfather is definitely not an ordinary person, as for why I said this, I can't tell you now, I can only tell you that in the Douling Continent, there is a tower called Tongtian Mystery Tower, and your grandfather must be related to this tower." β
Hearing these words, Sang Luo couldn't help but recall Ye Guang's kind face, sometimes stern, sometimes gentle, sometimes poor, sometimes sad.
"Grandpa......"
Ye Xun patted Sang Luo seriously, and couldn't help but shake his head, but it was a pity that Ye Guang had passed away, and he sighed for a long time before saying: "I promised you that no matter whether you can solve the puzzle or not, you can ask me a question, what do you want to ask?" β
Sang Luo didn't think about it for long, and was about to ask after winning the puzzle solving conference, "Master of the Night Family, I want to know why the Dragon Clan was wiped out overnight?" β
In an instant, Ye Xun's originally gentle face changed, and the aura of a strong man filled the entire room.
Sang Luo was startled, forced to take a few steps back, and hurriedly operated the aura to resist.
After a short time, Shen Yin was automatically conjured out by the pressure, and no longer hesitated, Sang Luo gritted his teeth and shouted: "Master of the Night Family, you invited the person back, I solved the puzzle, and you asked me to ask the question, what do you mean now?" β
Finally, Ye Xun withdrew his coercion, looked at Sang Luo with a complicated expression, waved his hand to let the people around him withdraw, and then said: "Sang Luo, I don't know why you are asking this question, whether it is curiosity or what, I advise you not to ask, change the question." β
Sang Luo, who had just recovered, was a little stunned in her heart, she didn't expect that the night inquiry would suddenly be like a different person, it seems that the destruction of the dragon clan is not only involved in the other two divine beast clans.
She is the only one left in the dragon clan now, and she must not expose herself, she is careless, but if she asks where the other two divine beast clans go to hide, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the night inquiry.
