The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 208 Riddles
Luo Yue came here with Liang Wanyi, so naturally she recognized Liang Wanyi early on.Unexpectedly, Lin Zisu not only recognized Liang Wanyi easily, but was also so sure that Liang Wanyi would win in the end.

Luo Yue was curious and asked, "Susu, how did you recognize Sister Yi at a glance?"

"Of course it's because of Sister Yi's talent."

Lin Zisu said with a smile: "Sister Yi's talent is unparalleled. There are not many famous ladies in Beijing who can compare with her. There is only one lady on the stage right now, so this is undoubtedly Sister Yi."

Luo Yue took it for granted, and looked up at the stage. Liang Wanyi was standing on the stage calmly.Luo Yue covered her mouth and whispered to Lin Zisu, "Susu, let me tell you, I heard that someone came to propose marriage to Sister Yi..."

When the two were talking, another light was turned on on the stage. Liang Wanyi was staring intently at the riddle on the light, and had no time to pay attention to the situation off the stage.

The riddle on the lamp reads "Liu Bang laughs, Liu Bei cries". Liang Wanyi thought for a moment, and immediately replied crisply: "It's the word 'cui'!"

After receiving Liang Wanyi's answer, Luo Yue suddenly realized, and murmured: "Xiang Yuzu, Guan Yuzu, isn't it the word Cui?"

After this light passed, another person was eliminated from the stage, leaving only three people.

Liang Wanyi rushed to answer four lantern riddles one after another. The young man standing opposite Liang Wanyi, dressed in white, said to Liang Wanyi, "Young lady is quick and quick thinking, I admire you very much. Now there are only seven lamps left, and I will do my best."

He spoke politely, and did not hide his appreciation in his words.The other young man was dressed in a blue Taoist robe. Hearing what the white-clothed young man said, he was obviously belittling him, so he let out a cold "hum".

While the three were talking, the lantern riddles on the stage lit up again.This time, as soon as the lantern was lit, the young man in white immediately gave the answer.

It was like this for four consecutive lamps, and the answer to the mystery was just revealed, and the young man in white gave the answer first.

First, Liang Wanyi rushed to answer four questions, and then the young man in white rushed to answer four questions. According to the rules, the young man in blue was already eliminated.

The young man in blue was quite conceited on weekdays, he thought that this kind of lantern riddles on the street were extremely simple, and it would be easy to win.

Unexpectedly, a mountain is higher than a mountain, and I met two masters who guessed lantern riddles.

The young man in blue didn't think that he was inferior to the two of them, he only thought that Liang Wanyi and the young man in white had colluded to design it for him.

He stayed on the stage and refused to leave, and wanted to defend himself a few words, saying in a hateful voice: "Well, you two, you are so despicable and shameless..."

A person in the audience shouted loudly: "Hey, don't go up to the competition if you can't afford to lose. You obviously lost, what are you still doing on the stage? Waiting for everyone to laugh at you?"

Immediately afterwards, several people booed, the young man in blue consciously lost face, and finally couldn't hold back the laughter and got off the stage cursing.

Lin Zisu heard the voice of the person who took the lead in yelling just now, and asked, "Fourth brother, is the person in front Liang Mingtai?"

Xie Xi nodded, and replied with a smile: "That's right, the group of people who came here are almost the same, and they must all be brought here by that kid Liang Mingtai."

Speaking of this, Xie Xi and Lin Zisu talked about some "glorious deeds" that a group of people did at festivals in the past.

He picked some interesting stories, and the center of the topic was basically about Xu Wentao and Liang Mingtai. Lin Zisu couldn't help smiling when he heard it.

Lin Zisu responded to Xie Xi's words while paying attention to the movement on the stage.

Of the last four lanterns, only Liang Wanyi and the young man in white were left.The number of people on the stage has decreased, but the difficulty has increased a lot. The two of them are not as relaxed as before, and they have to rack their brains to come up with the correct answer.

"The person who came was actually a Penglai guest"

"Mountain!"

"A strong man is gone and will never return"

"Version!"

"Boundless falling trees are rustling"

"day!"

Liang Wanyi only answered one answer to the riddle of the three lanterns.

When the last lantern was left, the young man in white suddenly stopped the middle-aged man who was hosting the lantern riddle, and said to Liang Wanyi with a smile, "Girl, there is one lantern riddle left, should we raise some bets?"

As soon as the young man in white said this, the audience immediately boiled up, and some people blew their whistles, thinking that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Liang Wanyi agreed with this young man in white's proposal, and said, "What kind of bet does this young man want to bet?"

"I have a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" annotated by Fan Zhen, a great Confucianist in the world, and it should be the beginning of this lantern riddle."

The boy in white said with a smile.

"I've heard of Mr. Fan's name for a long time, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to see him because of Keng. His personal approval of "The Analects of Confucius" is rare. I don't have anything equivalent to such a precious prize, my son."

As Liang Wanyi said, she took off the red agate bracelet on her wrist and asked, "Although the bracelet in my hand is not priceless, it is considered a rare item in the world. I wonder if it can match your fortune?"

Although the young man in white had a mask covering his face, it could still be seen that he was smiling very happily.

When he saw Liang Wanyi's colorful head, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said: "You are welcome, girl, this bracelet on your hand is unique, it is much more interesting than my book."

After the lottery was decided, the two ordered the middle-aged man to light the lantern.As the lanterns light up slowly, the last mystery is revealed.

"Looking south to the lone star, the eyebrows are rising"

When Liang Wanyi saw the enigma, she immediately frowned.

This riddle seems simple, but it is extremely deceptive. It gives people several pointers, but it is wrong to think about it carefully.

For a while, she put aside the hustle and bustle around her, lowered her head and thought for a few breaths, her thoughts turned sharply, and after more than ten breaths, she finally thought of the answer.

The young man in white had been staring at Liang Wanyi's expression, seeing her expression suddenly relaxed, he quickly revealed the answer before she could speak.

"village!"

As soon as the young man in white finished speaking, Liang Wanyi's voice came out: "It's 'Zhuang'."

Although the words of the two were almost in unison, but after careful analysis, they could still be heard, the young man in white was speaking first, and Liang Wanyi was speaking behind.

In this round, the young man in white obviously won.

Luo Yue was still puzzled by why the answer to this lantern riddle was the word "Zhuang". Lin Zisu explained to her: "'Nanwang' is the 'king', the 'lone star' is the point, and the 'meiyue' is rising. It is a stroke, and the combination of three parts becomes the word 'Zhuang'."

After Lin Zisu's explanation, Luo Yue finally understood.

Liang Wanyi was willing to admit defeat, handed the bead string to the young master in white, and said with a smile: "Young master won this game, please accept it with a smile."

The young man in white was not too polite, stepped forward to take the beads, looked at them for a while, and said to Liang Wanyi, "It was just the last game, and it was actually a tie, and if the girl is willing to give away such a lottery, I can't take advantage of the girl." The "Analects of Confucius" is at my house, if it is convenient for the girl, please tell me where Xianju is, and I will order my servants to go home to pick it up and deliver it to the girl's house tonight."
