"I advise you to let go quickly. My father is a bachelor of Dongwen Pavilion." Zhuang Lun said in a threatening tone.
Li Xiaotian originally thought that Zhuang Lun had given him a hint of inspiration, but he was not prepared.
I was trying to embarrass him, but I really couldn't stand the way he looked like a fox pretending to be a tiger, so I used a little force and closed my palms, intending to teach him a lesson.
Zhuang Lun screamed in pain, thinking that Li Xiaotian didn't know about the rank of non-commissioned officer of Dongwenge University, so he quickly added intermittently:
"That's a...first-grade...official title!"
As a scholar who had taken the national examination, Li Xiaotian naturally knew that the Dongwen Pavilion University Scholarship was a first-class scholar. It could be said that one person was inferior to one person and was superior to ten thousand people. However, Li Xiaotian dared to beat the crown prince.
Who cares about the Grand Bachelor of Dongwen Pavilion? Besides, he is the son of Grand Bachelor of Dongwen Pavilion. He still said nothing and the force in his palm became stronger.
Zhuang Lun screamed like a pig.
"Brother, if you let him go, you'll let us go. If you keep shouting like this, I'm afraid we'll all become deaf."
Liu Jiajia half-joked that she knew Zhuang Lun's cultivation and was able to subdue him so easily. She didn't show any shyness when she heard about the official position of Zhengyipin. The strength of the person in front of her was definitely extraordinary. She was a fourth-level Tongmai
Naturally, I am not prepared to wade into this muddy water, so I can only help my mouth.
Li Xiaotian glanced at Liu Jiajia, with no intention of letting go.
Liu Jiajia is known as the most beautiful woman in Kyoto.
It was her appearance, not boasting, she was quite confident. She was the dream lover of many handsome young men. She had never seen a man treat her with such indifference, and she was very unhappy in her heart.
Cai Da didn't care about Zhuang Lun's life or death, but Liu Jiajia's happiness and anger were always taken into consideration, not only because of her beautiful appearance, but also because of the powerful background behind her. She ate a turtle,
Of course he had to ask: "Are you deaf or mute and can't understand Miss Liu?
Li Xiaotian looked at Cai Da, staring closely, his eyes sharp and full of aura.
Cai Da, like Zhuang Lun, was only at the third level of Tongmai. As soon as his eyes collided with Li Xiaotian, he felt a chill and quickly dodged.
"Hero, I was wrong...please spare...me!" Zhuang Lun couldn't bear the pain of breaking his finger bones and finally gave in.
Li Xiaotian is not the kind of person who is unforgiving. Since Zhuang Lun verbally admitted his mistake and apologized, he let go and walked straight to the lantern, looked up at the painting above, looked at it for a moment, and then left.
I went to another place to watch it, and I felt very happy. The layout was really as I imagined. What a wonderful and wonderful battle!
So, Li Xiaotian walked directly under a certain lantern and knocked on the floor. It was hollow. He opened it and saw a piece of white paper lying inside. When he unfolded it, he wrote: A round and empty city is within the city.
There are soldiers outside, all wearing yellow jackets, and I don’t know who is the leader.
(Hit an animal)
Obviously, this is the puzzle hidden on the fourth floor. Just like the third floor, the process of finding it is the key. As for the answers, they are extremely simple.
"This is a riddle paper, and the answer is a wasp. With that said, Li Xiaotian handed the riddle to the guard.
The guard replied: "Correct answer.
Li Xiaotian walked upstairs.
"How on earth did this guy find the puzzle paper hidden under that floorboard?"
"I never expected that after studying it for so long and having no clue, we found out that someone with such great skills could actually be cracked by an unknown person."
"As I said, he is not a normal person."
The three of them watched Li Xiaotian go upstairs and talked a lot.
Linxian Pavilion, fifth floor.
The fifth floor is not as exquisitely decorated as the fourth floor, and there is not even a lantern. There is only a small table next to the window bar, where wine is boiling and steaming, and there is a person sitting next to it, drinking warm wine. , looking into the distance, it looks very comfortable.
"The mystery downstairs has finally been solved. I thought this year and last year
Likewise, no one can get up to the fifth floor." The man in front of the window sighed, and continued: "Don't just sit there in a daze. Don't worry, there are no puzzles on this floor. Even if there were, I'm afraid it wouldn't be difficult. Come on, come over and have a drink."
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Li Xiaotian said, walked straight to the small table and sat down. He glanced at the person on the other side. He seemed to be in his forties, but he saw that he had an extraordinary aura, sharp eyes, and exuded an overbearing majesty. He seemed to have been in a high position for a long time. a feeling of.
Not only that, his intuition told him that the man in front of him was definitely a monk, and his cultivation was not lower than his.
"It's not easy. You can actually solve the situation downstairs. You are still so young, and your cultivation is not low. Such a talent should not be unknown in the capital. You are not from Ancheng, right?" The man looked at you. With Li Xiaotian.
"Senior, I have a keen eye. I have indeed just arrived in the capital not long ago, and I have been practicing in the mountains before."
Li Xiaotian replied that in the world of spiritual practice, strength speaks for itself. The person in front of him is older than him and has a higher level of practice than him. He calls on his seniors not to suffer.
"It turns out that he came out of the mountains. No wonder he has a higher level of cultivation than his peers." The man paused and continued: "Although there are no lantern riddles on this level, there are also conditions for passing the level. It is very simple. The process of breaking the situation on the fourth floor.”
Li Xiaotian asked: "To put it bluntly, it should be the senior who has arranged the Linxian Pavilion to hold the lantern riddle competition, right?"
The man nodded in disbelief.
Li Xiaotian said puzzledly: "Since it is held by seniors, seniors should not know the layout of the fourth floor."
The man said: "To tell you the truth, I did come up with the first three levels of lantern riddles. As for the fourth level, I asked an expert to come up with it. They didn't tell me how to solve it. I've been studying it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out. The secret is that because the fourth level is too difficult, I thought no one could solve the puzzle, so there were no lantern riddles on it. In other words, as long as you pass the fourth level, you will go directly to the seventh level."
According to what he said, the ten thousand gold reward is already in his pocket. For Li Xiaotian now, it is considered a big sum of money. He was quite happy about this and replied: "No matter the wall on the fourth floor, The items on the cabinets, or the hanging lanterns, may seem chaotic, but if you are careful enough and knowledgeable enough, you can see that there are patterns to follow. The items placed on the wall cabinets are of the same type on the same floor, for example Above the middle layer, without exception, are potted plants. According to the theory of medicinal herbs, all plants can be divided into three categories according to their attributes, namely cold, hot, and medium. The neutral Poria cocos placed opposite each other in the middle of the wall cabinet With potted okra plants, on the left are cold things like chrysanthemums and mint, and on the right are hot herbs such as angelica and aconite. This reminds me of the Tai Chi pattern, where cold is yin and heat is yang. The middle is the boundary line, so the hanging lantern represents the black and white fish eyes in the figure. The position of the puzzle paper can be determined according to the drawing on the lantern."
"That's it." After listening to the explanation, the man suddenly became enlightened and then added: "So, the hiding place of the second puzzle paper is related to the stars."
"Senior's correct answer."
Li Xiaotian echoed, since he knew that the hiding place layout of the first piece of puzzle paper was related to Tai Chi, he had already inferred that the second piece of puzzle paper was related to the astrology. Indeed, the reason why Li Xiaotian was able to determine the first piece of puzzle paper so quickly was
The position of the paper and Zhuang Lun's scary words are indispensable.
"Since there are no lantern riddles on the fifth and sixth floors, then you have just solved the layout of the fourth floor and it is considered as clearing the fifth floor. You can also answer the questions on the sixth floor here. It just so happens that the fireworks show will start soon.
Okay, after you finish answering, let’s go to the top together to enjoy it.” The man said impromptuly.
Li Xiaotian forced a smile and nodded in agreement, but in his heart he wondered if this person was a tough guy who didn't want to part with a million dollars and deliberately asked questions at the last minute.
The man seemed to have read Li Xiaotian's thoughts and said: "What's that expression on your face? Don't worry, no matter whether you answer correctly or not, you can go to the top with me to watch the fireworks. You will be rewarded with a million gold reward. Also, if you answer correctly,
There are additional rewards.”
Li Xiaotian chuckled: "Senior is so generous!"
The man asked: "Guess who I am. This is the question on the sixth floor."
Who could he be?
Li Xiaotian began to recall some details in Linxian Pavilion.
Festival.
He always lives in the capital, has a high level of spiritual practice, and is very powerful. Sitting on the window railing, he should have watched the prince of the current dynasty being thrown into the lake by his men, and blatantly taught the prince a lesson at the feet of the emperor. There are only two possibilities.
, his strength is not weaker than or even stronger than the royal family, or he is a member of the royal family.
people.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaotian thought of the guards on the floors below. All of them were extremely solemn, spoke concisely and acted concisely, as if they were well-trained. Coupled with the calm but intimidating temperament of the person in front of him, his identity was already clear.
