Chapter 119: A Small Village, a Hidden Dragon and a Crouching Tiger
Suddenly, Kong Weiren smiled and turned his head to look at Ye Fan: "Since it is to find a tomb, Mr. Ye should also come up with a means that we can trust, I wonder if Mr. Ye has the courage to gamble with us?" ”
He was already a bad gambler, and now that Ye Fan took the initiative to send it to the door, he naturally couldn't let Ye Fan leave easily.
What's more, no matter how they do it, they have nothing to lose.
At this time, it was Ye Fan's turn to be stunned: "Bet? I don't know how Village Chief Kong wants to gamble? ”
I didn't expect that I wanted to come here to talk about cooperation, but I would encounter such an interesting thing.
Gambling, in Ye Fan's view, is just a pastime in life.
In his previous life, as a grave keeper, he also often gambled, but it was just to pass the boring time, and over time, it became a hobby.
Seeing Ye Fan's heart, Kong Weiren became more and more excited.
"Since Mr. Ye knows the ancient tomb, he must also have a certain understanding of antiques, why don't we compare the treasures? As long as you win, this trip to find the tomb, I, the South Village and the North Village, will completely obey your orders, and there will be no two words, but if you lose, ....... “
The corners of Kong Weiren's mouth hooked into a sneer.
"What if I lose?"
Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"If you lose, this bloodstone will belong to us, and it has nothing to do with you, and besides, you still have to leave a pair of tricks to compensate my brother who was killed by you in Nancun, do you have the courage to gamble?"
What kind of gamble is this, this is simply playing with life.
If it were anyone, I am afraid that he would immediately shake his head and refuse, but on the contrary, Ye Fan nodded without hesitation.
"How could I refuse such an interesting thing? As you say, compare the treasure. ”
In other ways, maybe Ye Fan will think about it more, compared to Jianbao, it is really ten fingers to catch the snail, and the hand is caught.
Seeing that Ye Fan agreed, Kong Weiren's smile became even stronger: "Okay, let's go inside and have a showdown." ”
As he spoke, he ordered someone to open the gate and go to the ancestral hall side by side with Ye Fan.
Because the ancestral hall was set on fire by Shen Bao before, less than half of it was gone, but now, it has been repaired.
Xu Sanhu and the others were naturally transferred to other places.
At this time, in the main hall of the ancestral hall, a large table was placed.
There was a wooden box lying quietly on it.
Kong Weiren stepped forward to take a look, and then smiled: "The competition is very simple, as long as you can identify this object within ten minutes and tell the ins and outs, even if you win, if you win, otherwise, I win, how about it?" ”
Ye Fan had no objection and nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Ye is really refreshing, worthy of being a young talent, so, let's start the timer." :
As he spoke, he saw Kong Weiren take off the wooden box, revealing the contents inside.
This turned out to be a calligraphy painting.
Ye Fan stepped forward quickly, slowly spreading out the calligraphy and painting, the rice paper was yellowed, obviously some years.
At this time, I heard Kong Weiren smile and said: "This painting was left by my grandfather back then, hundreds of people in the family in later generations, but no one can know the meaning, until one day Kong looked at the family tree, only to understand the old man's mind, Mr. Ye, if you can't guess, it's not a shame." ”
Kong Weiren laughed.
This is obviously deliberately set up a full set, waiting for Ye Fan to jump down.
Ye Fan didn't pay attention to him, but looked at the words on it intently.
"The six classics and five are hidden in the chest, and a sword is held in the hand for a thousand years. The apricot blossoms have a pretty branch on their heads, and the winter snow blooms for a long time. A little bit like a star, as big as a bucket, half-covered bed and nothing. After finishing the name and hanging the crown, he hurriedly went to Chang'anjun and stepped on the horse. ”
On the entire rice paper, there is only this one poem of the Seven Rules, and there is no other handwriting.
For a while, Rao is Ye Fan also frowned.
This should be a Tibetan character poem, but if you don't know the past of the Confucian family, it is really difficult to decipher this poem.
"There are still seven minutes, Mr. Ye, you better admit defeat,"
Kong Weiren kept talking and interfering on the side.
Ye Fan slowly closed his eyes, and the seven laws were constantly circling in his mind, reorganizing each other, dismantling, and repeating them over and over again.
To crack Tibetan poetry, you can only rely on your mind, and it has nothing to do with experience or anything.
Time passed little by little, and Kong Weiren was still chattering.
Until the last half minute, Ye Fan still closed his eyes.
Seeing that victory was in sight, the smile on Kong Weiren's face became thicker and thicker.
"Come on, prepare the porcelain bowl, and use Ye Fan's eyes to pay tribute to our dead brothers tonight."
Kong Weiren laughed presumptuously, with a smug glint in his eyes.
But at this moment, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes, nodded with a smile at the same time, and said to himself: "I see." ”
No one expected that at this last moment, Ye Fan would guess it.
Seeing this, Kong Weiren frowned: "Ye Fan, are you sure you know the answer?" Tell you, this is Nancun, if you talk nonsense and don't make sense, you will have to suffer more serious consequences. ”
Kong Weiren's face was full of disbelief, I don't know how many experts have read this song of the Seven Laws, but they are all confused, with his Ye Fan, he can even come out?
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders: "Good luck." ”
Then, pick up the scroll.
"In fact, this poem is a group of poems, the first line of the poem, the six classics and five contain the chest, a thousand years in the hand, add a horizontal under the six characters, and then add a cross, it is the word Xin, the second line of the poem, the apricot blossom on the top of the head of a pretty branch, the winter snow blooms for a long time, the apricot word goes to the mouth, and the top adds a horizontal, it is the word, and the combination of these two bodies is Xin Wei, which refers to the year."
Ye Fan's expression was natural, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth.
But after hearing him analyze these two poems, Kong Weiren's face was already gloomy, and his eyes were even more angry.
"What do the last four sentences mean?"
Dong Dabiao frowned and asked.
Although he also dabbles in antique calligraphy and painting, he is confused about this kind of word game.
However, seeing that Ye Fan was so wise, he was also attracted.
Ye Fan put the scroll on the table and looked at Dong Dabiao.
"The last four sentences are the merits of the ancestors of the head of the village of Kong, the third line of the poem, a little like a star, as big as a bucket, half of the bed is gone, the bed word is half, increase, add a little, it is the word, and the last sentence, the name of the crown is in a hurry, step on the horse Chang'an Jun know, the word is removed from the upper part, it is the Yuan word, these four words are connected together, it is the champion of Xinwei, it is said that the ancestor of the head of the village of Kong, the champion of the Xinwei period, no wonder the head of Kong Village is so shrewd, it turned out to be the champion."
Arching his hand at Kong Weiren, Ye Fan said with a smile.
Hearing Ye Fan's explanation, everyone was shocked.
Especially the villagers of Nancun, they only knew that the village chief's family was extremely prominent, but they never thought that they would be the champion.
His eyes stared at Ye Fan, Kong Weiren clenched his teeth, and his eyes were unwilling.
But the facts are in front of him, and at the last moment, Ye Fan cracked the poem.
"Mr. Ye is really talented, Kong admires it."
Bent down at Ye Fan and said respectfully.
Within ten minutes, cracking a poetic riddle of this difficulty was enough to prove Ye Fan's talent.
"Now that the victory and defeat have been decided, presumably Village Chief Kong will not break his promise, so in the next process of searching for the tomb, everyone in the South Village and the North Village will obey my orders."
His eyes swept over Kong Weiren and Dong Dabiao's faces.
Even though the two were unwilling, they were willing to gamble and lose, but they could only nod their heads in agreement.
