Seeing this, the leading guard showed an angry look on his face and gave a look. The smaller guards on both sides immediately understood and ran straight towards the three of them, grabbed the bra and threw it ten feet away. Only three screams were heard and everyone fell silent.
Come down.
"From now on, you can only watch the lantern riddles, and you are not allowed to make loud noises. Everyone has only one chance to speak and solve the riddles. If you violate the rules, the consequences will be like them!"
The leading guard shouted solemnly, his voice was loud and powerful.
Li Xiaotian took a look at him and knew that this man was not an ordinary person, but also a monk. As for his cultivation level, he should be a master of the Tongmai class, which once again showed that the mysterious wealthy man who occupied the palace had quite a lot of background.
The onlookers were obviously shocked by the lead guard's act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. For a moment, they were all silent, staring at the lantern, squinting their eyes to think of the answer to the riddle.
"Light No. 9 is the word Feng!"
After a while, one person suddenly continued to answer after the three above.
The man looked at the leading guard and said nothing. He guessed wrong, so he continued: "Light No. 9 is the word "We"!"
This time, before waiting for instructions from the leader, a small guard walked directly to the man and threw him out. He landed with a bang and screamed in pain. The answer was different from the three people, but the ending was the same.
"Tian Er is the Chinese character. Obviously, the answer to the puzzle of No. 9 Lantern is the Chinese character Zu!" someone suddenly said.
Li Xiaotian felt that the answer sounded a bit familiar. When Wen Yuan looked at it, he was slightly surprised. This person was none other than the current prince Yang Zhen who was severely beaten by him that day. Next to him was a man of similar age holding a folding fan in one hand. He looked quite elegant.
"Correct answer!" said the leading guard.
The word "zu" added with "two" is the word "yes", and then they realized that this sentence had a double entendre, and everyone suddenly realized it.
"Riddle No. 11, Tianzi."
At this time, the person accompanying Yang Zhen said.
"Correct answer!" the leading guard said again.
Everyone could only watch the two people enter the attic.
Two lantern riddles were solved at once, one of which was solved by the notorious prince of the dynasty. The gossip bug in everyone's bones was itching unbearably. Everyone finally couldn't hold it back and started whispering. After all, they just said not to make loud noises.
Just whispering will do the trick.
Seeing that the leading guard did not punish or object, there was a buzz.
"Isn't the man who took the folding fan just now Dong Li, who is known as one of the four wise men in the capital?"
"Yes, the person standing in front of him is the current prince."
"You don't have to say that he doesn't know anyone."
"I didn't expect that the current prince would also come to join in the fun."
"I asked you whether you are from the capital or not. Everyone else was here during the Lantern Festival last year, okay?"
"Not only that, before this, many young masters from famous families have entered."
"We went there for money, and they went there for vanity. There is no other way. The level of life is one level higher. This is the gap."
…
While everyone was chatting away, the guard hung up new lanterns for Nine and Eleven, with new lantern riddles written on them.
Li Xiaotian watched Yang Zhen enter Linxian Pavilion arrogantly, still looking arrogant and unworthy of being beaten. He lamented that he was too gentle. He originally thought that he would have to stay in bed for at least two months, but now he is alive and well in less than a month.
Healing, I was careless and underestimated the healing ability of the palace and royal family, but it's better. If there is a next time, I can open my arms and take a heavy blow.
"Riddle No. 8, the word dream." Li Xiaotian suddenly said.
"Correct answer!" the guard responded.
"Watch the dusk under the trees. The trees are forests. Dusk is also called the sunset. I have a dream in the forest at night. It's so wonderful. Why didn't I think of it?"
One person analyzed that everyone felt like they were just waking up from a dream, and then they all lowered their feet and relaxed their chests, thinking about such a simple question of giving money, why do they think it is easy every time after someone else guesses it?
So, Li Xiaotian entered the first floor of Linxian Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the pavilion, Li Xiaotian took a good look at it.
There were about a dozen people on the first floor of the pavilion. What was quite strange was that nearly half of them were in groups of twos, very similar to the combination of Yang Zhen and Dong Li. After thinking about it carefully, Li Xiaotian suddenly realized that the feelings were those of those young masters.
There was no ink in it, and my brain was not working well, so I had to take a puzzle-solving strategist with me. I don’t know whether the puzzle to enter the second floor was too difficult or the strategist was not good enough. They all stopped in front of the lamp to think, but could not come up with an answer.
Li Xiaotian did not see Yang Zhen on this floor. It seemed that his military advisor was quite capable. He had just come in and took Yang Zhen to the second floor. After all, he was one of the four wise men in the capital.
As expected, it is much stronger than other think tank followers.
"Light No. 7, the answer to the riddle and the word!"
Someone suddenly said to the guard at the entrance to the second floor.
Lamp No. 7, the riddle says: Autumn leaves are leaving.
This was also the lantern riddle that Li Xiaotian was going to answer. The answer he guessed was also the word "和". He was just about to say it, but he didn't expect that he was the first one to guess it.
Of course, Li Xiaotian just felt that something was unexpected. He did not panic at all. As soon as he entered the pavilion, he browsed through the ten lantern riddles hanging on the pavilion. With a little inspiration, all the answers to the riddles became clear to him.
, I just happened to choose No. 7 to answer, but someone else didn’t expect it.
The guard said: "The answer is correct, please explain."
The person who answered the question seemed to have no idea why, and replied hesitantly: "Autumn leaves are leaving, autumn and leaves are leaving, isn't it the word "harmony"?"
Shouwei said: "The answer to the riddle is the word "和", but your explanation is too far-fetched. You are blindly guessing without counting. Please go back."
After hearing the eviction order, the person who responded became a little anxious and said: "I was fooled. What's wrong? Why can't others be fooled? As the saying goes, luck is also a part of strength. Why doesn't it count?"
The guard didn't talk nonsense to him. He stepped forward quickly, raised his collar and threw it out of the window. He clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, please continue."
The lantern riddles entering the second level are not only much more difficult than those outside, but also require a strict process of solving the riddles to prevent confusion.
"Lamp No. 7, the word He." Li Xiaotian suddenly said, everyone looked at Li Xiaotian, as if they were all listening, and then explained: "Autumn leaves are Li Li, Li is a hexagram in the Five Elements Bagua, which belongs to fire, and
The orthographic character represents the symbol plus, which is in the shape of ten. The fire and ten in the autumn leaves are separated from each other, so it is the character for harmony."
"Completely correct answer."
After the guard finished speaking, Xiaotian put his luggage and walked to the second floor.
There is not much difference between the second floor of Linxian Pavilion and the first floor. There are the same ten lanterns and the same number of people as those downstairs. Yang Zhen’s fellow is also missing. If there is any difference, maybe the view upstairs is better than the one downstairs.
It's much more open, and by the way, the puzzles have been changed from text to pictures, which is probably the biggest difference.
Li Xiaotian took a cursory look at the puzzles on the lantern. Compared with the two puzzles just now, the difficulty of this puzzle was indeed more than one and a half points higher.
After all, the answer to the crossword puzzle is only hidden in those few words, and there won't be much ambiguity.
But the riddle is different, because the painting itself is open, so everyone's understanding of it is different, and it is also a riddle, so it is not easy to interpret, not to mention that it needs to be completely consistent with the original idea, which is quite difficult.
So, even though Li Xiaotian knew the general meaning of all the paintings on the lanterns, just in case, he still found the lantern that he thought had the least ambiguity to answer.
So, Li Xiaotian walked to the guard at the entrance of the second floor and said: "Light No. 6, the answer should be the common people of Li."
The guard said: "Correct, please explain."
Li Xiaotian replied: "In Lamp No. 6, there is a half-floating and half-sunken boat. Let's use a four-character noun. I think of a famous saying, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it, and its description is that of ordinary people.
, From this, I guessed it was the common people of Li."
The guard said: "Correct answer."
After finishing speaking, Li Xiaotian strolled up to the third floor.
Everyone watched with envy as Li Xiaotian went up the stairs, and they were all surprised. They had obviously not been on the upper floor for a long time, but how could they solve the riddle so quickly?
Linxian Pavilion, third floor.
There are not many people on this floor, and including Li Xiaotian who just entered the building, there are only seven people.
This time, Prince Yang Zhen and Dong Li, the so-called Four Wise Men of the Capital, were also among them.
As soon as he went upstairs, Li Xiaotian saw that everyone was holding a special large dice in their hands, turning it up and down, left and right, making a chirping and rubbing sound, and everyone had serious expressions on their faces.
Obviously, the third level is not just about guessing lantern riddles.
