Li Haocheng and Lin Dai had a good chat, and the four of them talked and laughed on the Wenqu Building, because the Hanlin Cultural Conference had not yet been held, and most of them were communicating with each other, and some people were standing under a red lantern to solve the mystery.

This is a lantern riddle specially prepared by the Gao family, and the lantern has a confusing magic circle on the surface, which can interfere with people's thinking and increase the difficulty of solving the puzzle.

At the same time, there is a small gift in each lantern, which is given to the person who solves the puzzle, and at the same time, the person who solves the puzzle on the lantern is also allowed to leave a new riddle on the lantern, and the Gao family will rearrange the gift according to the difficulty of the riddle.

Although Li Haocheng was a little surprised by Lin Dai's understanding, he had the intention to teach her more knowledge of psychology and psychology, but at this time it was the Hanlin Cultural Association, and it was impossible for Li Haocheng to give her an in-depth explanation here.

These lantern riddles are all relatively level, such as the one Li Haocheng is looking at now - spring is gone, and the flowers are silent.

The riddle is the word "pavilion", because spring is wood, the flowers fall for thanks, and the wordless is to go to the pavilion, which together is the pavilion.

Of course, there are some opportunistic ones, hoping to increase their reputation with the help of lantern riddles, such as the one Li Haocheng saw next, an article was hung on the red lantern first, and then there was a lantern riddle under the lantern - a young woman with yellow silk, and a grandson with a mortar.

Li Haocheng looked at the lantern in front of him, chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Interesting! This lantern riddle is really a bit shameless!"

Lin Dai, who was half a step slower than him, heard this, turned her head to look, frowned and asked, "It's quite difficult for me to look at this question, but Mr. can't see it?"

Along the way, Li Haocheng had a good impression of Lin Dai who followed him, and said with a smile: "Yellow silk is colored silk, which is a unique word, and the young woman is a girl, that is, a wonderful word, and the grandson is the son of a woman, which is a good word." 齑 is mashed ginger and garlic, 齑臼 refers to the container of pounded ginger and garlic, also known as the vessel of the spicy, and the word (traditional Chinese). Therefore, 'the young woman of yellow silk, the grandson of the mortar', the riddle is 'wonderful words', with the above article, isn't it shameless?"

When Lin Dai heard this, she looked at the article above, although it was a good work, but it didn't deserve the word wonderful, so she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Then Your Excellency does you have a better article?" A cold snort sounded, Li Haocheng turned his head to look, and saw a Confucian looking at him with a slightly pale face, and immediately guessed that this person was the owner of this lantern riddle, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, but he didn't like his arrogance.

After thinking about it, Li Haocheng casually took down the lantern riddle that he had cracked, took out a piece of fine green pine pattern ink from it, and then picked up a roll of gold-patterned paper from the side, a jade bamboo wolf, and wrote down with a pen - black is not, white is not, red and yellow is not, and fox, wolf, cat and dog are like animals, neither domestic animals, nor wild beasts; there are poems, words, and Analects, and they are vague about the east and west, north and south, although they are short products, they are also wonderful essays.

When he finished writing, he put it under the lantern and raised his hand and said, "Please guess!"

Confucian Sheng was a little angry when he heard this, he knew what Li Haocheng meant - I solved your puzzle, and if you want me to answer your question, you have to solve my puzzle first.

But this Confucian scholar, after reading the couplet left by Li Haocheng for a long time, calculated more than 100 times in his heart, but he didn't guess it, for a while his face became more ugly, and when he was at a loss, a voice sounded: "Black, white, red, yellow, for the five elements and five colors, the rest is green, foxes, wolves, cats and dogs are next to the dog word, neither domestic animals, nor beasts, together are a guess word; So the answer to Yuanzong's puzzle is 'guessing the riddle', is what you said below?"

Li Haocheng turned his head to look at the person who had relieved the siege of Confucianism, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency?"

The man arched his hand and smiled: "Qingyuan Liu family, Liu Zhong has seen Liu Yuanzong's bachelor. ”

"I've seen Bachelor Liu. After speaking, Li Haocheng stopped talking, and Lin Dai on the side saw this, took out the puzzle, took out a piece of excellent dragon pattern treasure ink, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. is slightly better!"

After speaking, he was about to hand the dragon pattern treasure ink to Liu Zhong, but he didn't want the other party to refuse to accept it, but instead stared at Li Haocheng and said: "I heard that Master Liu is known as the four peerless scholars, I don't know if I can use this dragon pattern treasure ink as a bet and talk with you about a game?"

"I'm not interested!" Li Haocheng shook his head, and after letting Lin Dai put the dragon pattern treasure ink back into the lantern, he was about to turn around and leave.

Liu Zhong's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Li Haocheng to be so faceless, he just stepped forward and wanted to stop Li Haocheng.

"What, Brother Liu, is this trying to fight with me?" Li Haocheng snorted coldly and said unhappily.

When Liu Zhong just appeared and recognized Liu Yuanzong's identity, Li Haocheng thought that he wanted to step on his own position, after all, if he wants to become famous, the best way is to step on someone else's name to ascend the throne.

But now that he is so blatantly trying to stop himself, there should be another person behind him who wants to test himself. In this regard, Li Haocheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, and asked the other party bluntly if he was ready to fight.

As the top literary club in the bachelor's level, the Hanlin Literary Society not only tests the literary heritage, but also tests the people's literary and Taoist supernatural powers, which is the biggest difference from other literary clubs.

Of course, as a literary meeting, most of them are tested through some roundabout means, and it is still rare to really fight on stage, so as soon as Li Haocheng's voice fell, many people's eyes converged.

"This ......" Liu Zhong suddenly hesitated, all literary associations are the same, the competition of literati in them will cause fluctuations in luck, and victory or defeat also determines the flow of luck, now Li Haocheng and his affairs have attracted the attention of everyone present, and the fluctuations caused by luck are also more obvious, if he loses, he will not only lose a fortune, but also his own reputation will be hit.

Li Haocheng saw his hesitation, and was about to take Lin Dai towards the next lantern, but at the moment when he just left, a faint fluctuation of literary qi rose beside Liu Zhong, and the next moment he gritted his teeth, stood in front of Li Haocheng and said: "Since Master Liu intends to guide him, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!"

The two walked to the center of the venue, and the surrounding bachelors stopped their original movements, and turned their heads to see that after Liu Zhong stood still, he just gave his hand, stretched out his hand and held it, and the Chinese qi of Wenqulou converged, turning into a boxy magic sword that appeared in his palm.

This sword is antique, and there are splendid articles engraved on all sides, respectively expounding the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the rivers and mountains, the emperors, the generals and the scholars, and the common people, and the whole body exudes a kind of upright and supreme artistic conception, just like a gentleman in general, looking like a ritual weapon more than a weapon.

"Quartet Gentleman Sword?" Li Haocheng's eyes lit up slightly, Liu Zhong's sword is a famous magic power of Confucianism and Taoism, he thought about it, and also stretched out his hand to hold it, the literary qi gathered, the order condensed, turned into a simple ring ruler, and suddenly it seemed to be no different from the ordinary wooden ring ruler, and if you look closely, you will find that on this ring ruler, there are fine lines condensed, and the psychology is constantly elaborated.

As this ring ruler appeared in Li Haocheng's hand, Liu Zhong on the opposite side heard countless classics about respecting teachers and respecting the Tao, and at the same time, the teacher admonished him in his ear. At this moment, Liu Zhong felt as if he had returned to his childhood, when facing his first teacher, that kind of nervousness and awe made the Quartet Junzi Sword in his hand continue to shake, and he had a feeling that if he waved the Junzi Sword in his hand, it would be to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, which did not conform to the meaning of the Junzi Sword, so the Junzi Sword collapsed and could not be condensed.

"What kind of magical power is this?" Several arrogant bachelors on the side stood up at the same time, looking at the ring ruler in Li Haocheng's hand, full of surprise.

"The atmosphere of the view is different from that of many schools of thought today, and it seems to be derived according to the 'rites'. A scroll of bamboo slips appeared in the hands of a bachelor, constantly analyzing the composition of the surging literary atmosphere, and the people on the side also used their own means to explore the origin of Li Haocheng's magical power.

The surging literary atmosphere has attracted the attention of more and more people, they shifted their eyes to the stage one by one, and after seeing the ring ruler in Li Haocheng's hand and Liu Zhong who was uncertain opposite, they all showed a look of surprise, the Quartet Junzi Sword is one of the most righteous magical powers of Confucianism and Taoism, known for its stability and good guarding, Li Haocheng's hand of the ring ruler can not only suppress Liu Zhong, but also suppress the connotation of the Junzi Sword, and the curious people are also learning from the previous few to begin to analyze.
