The whole painting boat of the Tiger Shooting Society, about seventy or eighty lantern riddles have been made, and most of the people who have solved them have not left in order to see the emperor in the riddle, plus the entourage they carried, there are almost fifty or sixty people who go upstairs. Although the second floor of the cabin is spacious, it seems a little cramped with so many people pouring in at once.

In the center of the crowd hangs a lantern, surrounded by red cloth, emitting a dim light. Under the red cloth, there should be the so-called "Emperor of Mysteries".

Someone shouted: "Now that everyone has arrived, why don't you hurry up and solve the riddle?" With so many people bustling like a vegetable market, what kind of system is it?"

As soon as this statement came out, many people immediately echoed it. Judging from the arrangement of the outer part of the painting boat, the Tiger Shooting Club has made careful preparations, how can it reach the last step, but it is so hasty? This cabin is the best to accommodate more than ten people, and these fifty or sixty people are still on the deck.

"Please be calm. Several officers of the Tiger Shooting Club tried to calm down, they all had a wry smile on their faces, but they had to carry out the president's instructions, "The president of our club sighed before, Dao is the person who went up to this building today, there should have been only ten people, but the monarchs did not give their strength, and there was no outstanding person, so I had to invite people who could solve a mystery to come in and select again." ”

This means that the person who only solves one riddle should have been unqualified, but because there are not enough people with multiple results, the standard is lowered. Of course, these words made a group of self-proclaimed talents indignant, but they couldn't refute it for a while.

Emperor Longping was very happy when he thought that he had solved two problems, which should belong to the category of excellence.

Someone stood up and swallowed his anger and said: "The Shooting Tiger Club is really arrogant, so I don't know how to select it?"

The secretary of the club wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "The president of our company has a new mystery, but this time it is a limited time, and those who can solve this mystery in a stick of incense can stay." If it doesn't work, we will double the previous winnings. Sending you off the ship. ”

Incense sticks had been lit on the table in front of him, and the members of the Tiger Shooting Club handed out pens and paper to the people in the cabin, asking them to wait for each to fill in the answers.

This is the competition for talents, some people are thinking hard for a long time to finally break a riddle, in the face of this time limit can not help but feel empty, before listening to the question on the back of sweat. stared nervously at the officers of the Tiger Shooting Club.

One of the officers saw that everyone had got a pen and paper, cleared his throat, and said: "Everyone listen, the riddle is 'attack the heart is the top, the siege is the bottom', palindromic style, play four books and one sentence." ”

The palindrome is a pure word game to test human brain cells, and as soon as this question came out, there was a sudden sorrow all over the field. Zhu Ning'er was puzzled and quietly asked, "What is the palindrome? Today I realized that there are so many special guessing puzzles. Or is it the mystery of our countryside that comes simply. ”

She guessed a lot of riddles for Ye Xingyuan along the way just now, such as "the eldest brother has eight horns, and the second brother has two horns", although it is shallow, it is interesting. Ye Xingyuan also thought so. Like the pear grid is just a homonym, and this text grid is to read the mystery once, and then read the palindrome again, so as to deduct the riddle with these two meanings. That's the answer.

Although it is fine, it is inevitably high and low. It's a bit like password decryption. Fortunately, he guessed the four books, Ye Xingyuan was ripe, and after a little thought, his spiritual power fluctuated clearly, and he found this sentence.

He smiled indifferently, admiring the ingenuity of the author of the enigma. But that's about it. He picked up the pen and wrote five words on it, and then folded it in half. Someone next to him didn't believe it when he saw him solve the mystery so quickly, but because he was at a loss, he still wanted to peek at it. Naturally, it was stopped by the warning of the Tiger Shooting Club member next to him.

Ye Xingyuan was leisurely, looking around, everyone had not solved this mystery, and he couldn't help but feel proud of himself. He was about to step forward to hand in the mystery, when out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the three of them meeting their heads and meditating together, who was it not Emperor Longping?

This emperor is actually really on the painting boat! Ye Xingyuan remembered the rumors he had heard just now, and suddenly felt ridiculous, seeing that they were racking their brains to search for dry intestines, it seemed that he hadn't noticed himself at all.

Ye Xingyuan thought about it, this kind of opportunity still had to be used, so he walked to the emperor's side quietly, hid the answer in his sleeve, and continued to think about it pretendically.

Zhu Ning'er didn't know at first, but she was also a person who had seen the emperor, and those two wonderful mustaches did not confuse her judgment, and she only understood Ye Xingyuan's plan after a moment's stunned, and quietly followed behind him.

Ye Xingyuan muttered in a low voice, "You don't live alone, and you don't shirk." Emperor Longping looked up in surprise and saw that Ye Xingyuan was stunned, and immediately understood his reminder. After looking down and thinking about it, he suddenly understood it, unceremoniously wrote a sentence on the paper, and quickly asked Gonggong An to send it.

Father-in-law An was interested, and while handing over the answers, he shouted arrogantly: "My master Huang already has it! Is it the first person in a normal state?"

Ye Xingyuan had to admire the emperor's temperament, but he originally wanted to sell Emperor Longping's favor, and he didn't care about the false name of this riddle, so he didn't mind, so he slowly followed behind Gonggong An.

The officer of the Tiger Shooting Club looked at Emperor Longping's answer, nodded and smiled: "This master is right, please go to the front to do it, this kind of talent, so many young people in the field are ashamed of themselves!"

Ye Xingyuan's riddle is the same as him, of course, it is also the correct solution, and the secretary also praised two sentences, and also asked him to sit aside for a while.

There were two people who seemed to put a lot of pressure on everyone in the field, and within half a pillar of incense time, three or four more people handed in their answers, one of them was wrong and was invited out of the door, and the rest of them also answered correctly.

When the incense stick burned out, in addition to Ye Xingyuan and Emperor Longping, there were five other people who finally answered correctly. The Tiger Shooting Club politely dismissed everyone, and then served fragrant tea, so that the seven people who finally stood in front of the "Emperor of Mystery" sat down separately.

Among them, Ye Xingyuan recognized that it was Chen Jian, a talented man from Guiyang County who he had just met in the lamp market, and he didn't expect that he would have such a genius and stand out among hundreds of people.

But thinking about this person after all, he was also a character who was promoted at the age of twenty, and it was normal to be familiar with the four books, so Ye Xingyuan didn't care much. On the contrary, Chen Jian stared at Ye Xingyuan like a black-eyed chicken, and his resentment was still not gone.

Chen Jian had something on his mind today, and he had a few more drinks with his friends, and his heart was not going well. He boarded the Tiger Shooting Club painting boat to come prepared, and luckily guessed a lantern riddle, so he had to go upstairs, but he didn't expect to have to screen again, and he was discouraged.

I didn't expect him to be lucky, and he just made an article with the riddle in the past two days, so he guessed that it was "Meng's anti-cut", and the palindrome was "Meng's anti-cut", and the multi-semantic deduction of the word felling siege, Menglai buckled up and down, which can be answered correctly.

Chen Jian naturally thought that this was providence to help him, and he was thinking about solving the emperor in the mystery again and seeing his sweetheart. I didn't want to see that Ye Xingyuan had also passed the selection, and I was extremely unhappy in my heart, and it was not good to have a seizure at this time, so I just sat aside and sulked.

Outside of these three people, the people who passed the test were even stranger.

The first was a squinting monk, and there was a knife mark on his face, but it was not obvious because of the wrinkles on his face. Wearing a shabby red robe, he looked a little out of place on this occasion.

"This person should be an ascetic monk in the Western Regions, I heard that they practice a kind of magical power called 'Xinzhao', which can be restored to the roots, and you don't need to open your mouth to know what is in your heart, and guessing riddles may not rely on real skills. Emperor Longping sent Gonggong An to show favor to Ye Xingyuan, and whispered in his ear to introduce him.

Ye Xingyuan was originally from Nahan, and after listening to Father-in-law An's explanation, he understood. Although there are foolish men and women who believe in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they cannot be compared with the lofty status of saints, at most they compete with local gods for incense.

Although Daxiangguo Temple is said to be a Buddhist temple, but the entry follows the customs, the side hall is actually dedicated to a variety of gods, and sometimes the incense is more vigorous than the statue of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

However, in the wild land of the Western Regions, I heard that the monks have a high status and all kinds of strange magical powers, and they often appear in the world as ascetics, and the people of the Central Plains have instinctive defense and vigilance against them, and they are also the protagonists of many jokes and horror stories.

Ye Xingyuan had little insight before, and he had never seen this kind of monk, but he didn't expect to meet one at this time.

The second, even stranger than the monk, was a beggar dressed in a quail cloak, who was lazily slumped in his chair, reaching behind his back to pick up lice. When he caught a louse, he was elated and strangled it to death on the table, which always made people feel a little disgusting.

The monk is ascetic, proficient in scriptures, Sinology, and has magical powers, so he stands out at the lantern riddle meeting of the Tiger Shooting Society. What is an old beggar's ability, does he know how to read?

The third one, in terms of image, is much better than the first two, and is a middle-aged Confucian in white. But he kept his eyes closed, and he never saw him open them, so I really don't know how he guessed the lantern riddle before?

As for the fourth person, he simply wrapped himself tightly, wore a mask, only showed his eyes, and did not say a word.

A monk, a beggar, a Confucian, plus an unknown person of unknown gender and the supreme emperor of the world, formed the main team to solve the mystery of the emperor in the Tiger Shooting Society. Ye Xingyuan glanced at Chen Jian, and felt that these two normal people should have made up the number.

In addition to these seven people, only Zhu Ning'er, Baozhu, An Gonggong and the officers of the Tiger Shooting Club were left in the cabin, and the other four did not bring their entourage.

Seeing that everyone was gone, the first urn of the monk spoke, "The Sprinkle family is the King of the King of the King Kong Sect in the Western Regions, and today I am called by the Heavenly Master, this so-called emperor of mysteries, the prophecy of eternity, can be taken out for everyone to see, right?"

What is it? Ye Xingyuan glanced back at Emperor Longping in confusion, only to see that the emperor was also shocked, looking out of the hatch in disbelief. (To be continued.) )
