Raising the Demon

Chapter 244 Breaking Through Three Levels With One Stone
"It's really hard to get through..." Xiao Shitou said, he was young, his voice was very high-pitched, and it spread far away. When the scholar heard it, he turned around and ran away. He even fell down, but he didn't even care about the soil. He clapped up and left in a hurry.

Who would have thought that after the words were lost, another person would come out from behind, also full of shame, seeing Zi Baifeng's side, cupped his hands, said: "Ashamed, ashamed!", bowed his head and left.

Before a few people could speak, five or six people passed by.

"Young Master, there are really too many people here this time. In order to limit the number of people, it is not easy to pass the three stages this time. You should pass the stage by yourself." The manager said.

"I want to live by myself, live by myself!" Little Shitou refused to give up, Zi Baifeng spread his hands, and said to the steward, "Sorry, my brother is spoiled by me, so, can I go in with him? Afraid of him……"

Before he finished speaking, Little Shitou jumped up: "I'll go by myself, go by myself!"

Xiao Shitou likes playing games the most. It is rare that there is such a fun place, so he will not give up easily.

"Let Xiao Shitou play." Qi Hanshan said with a smile, "If it's a big deal, we won't go in."

"That's right, what's so good about chrysanthemums, I come to see them every year, and I'll go for a drive in Brother Zi's car later." Xing Qulang stroked his hands.

"This time it's called Dou Shui." Chi Yanbai corrected.

Everyone laughed.

"Go ahead, don't make us unable to get in." Zi Baifeng didn't care too much, thinking it was just an upgraded version of their scholar gathering, chrysanthemum, where can't we see it?

"Ha, then I'll go!" Little Shitou bent down, slipped in from the manager's side, and walked into the corridor with many lanterns.

"I'll follow." The steward knew that Zi Baifeng was worried, so he nodded to Zi Baifeng and followed.

"Brother Qi! Brother He! Brother Xing! Brother Chi!" Jin Taiyu didn't know when he had arrived, and stood aside and bowed to them, "Long time no see. Master Zi was there, and this brother... "

Chi Yanzi just nodded to him, but did not answer him.

The others just nodded and didn't even return a salute.

"Please take a moment, everyone. I'll take a step and wait for you inside." Jin Taiyu suppressed the anger in his heart, cupped his hands again, turned and walked in.

An attendant stepped forward to receive him and led him inside.

Xiaoshitou walked into the corridor of lantern riddles, and immediately let out a happy wow.

"Young Master, as long as you answer one of the lantern riddles here correctly, you can pass this level." The steward grabbed Xiao Shishi's hand, for fear that he would run away. If he really lost this little ancestor, it would be a big trouble .

Jin Taiyu walked in, saw Xiao Shitou, he knew Xiao Shitou, thought that Zi Baifeng was fooling around, and even let Xiao Shitou in, he curled his lips in disdain, and looked up at a lantern riddle.

"Seven fairies meet a cowherd, type an idiom." Jin Taiyu was stunned for a moment, thinking hard, but after a while, he shook his head and turned to look at the second one: "Liu Fucui and the young master, type two words."

Jin Taiyu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Could it be that they are all difficult lantern riddles?Why is this chrysanthemum appreciation meeting so strict?Didn't it mean that this kind of passing three levels is more fun than review?

He raised his head and looked at the third one, and saw "Dumb girl, type an idiom."

Jin Taiyu's heart twitched a little, if he really couldn't answer...

But there are a hundred lantern riddles here, how many of them can be answered?

Then I heard the steward over there ask Xiao Shitou: "Young master, did you guess it?"

"Well, the lantern riddles here are so difficult to guess. I can't guess many of them. Xiao Tuozi is better at guessing lantern riddles. I'm not very good at guessing lantern riddles." Xiao Shitou said.

"Laughing and generous." Jin Taiyu lowered his voice and sneered.

Although he lowered his voice, it happened that Xiao Shitou could hear him, so Xiao Shitou rolled his eyes at him, and said to the steward beside him, "I know this, this, and this, this one is incredible, this one is Yu Ying... ..."

"Hush, young master, keep your voice down so that others can listen to you." Seeing Xiao Shitou's answer to the riddle, the steward quickly stretched out a finger to make Xiao Shitou quiet down.

This answer makes people listen to it, and I am afraid that it will fail the test.

Xiao Shitou and the steward went away, and Jin Taiyu continued to read the lantern riddles. After reading for a long time, he couldn't answer any of them. He couldn't help wondering, why is this lantern riddle so difficult?Is this really a lantern riddle?

Fortunately, he heard a riddle just now, and pointed with a blushing face, "Liu Fucui and the young master, type two words." This lantern riddle, he said to the waiter: "This is Yuying..."

Under the contemptuous gaze of the waiter, Jin Taiyu walked down the corridor with his head down, only to find that there was a broken bridge in front of him.

The Broken Bridge was erected on the cliff, and only then did everyone know that the Zhongshan Bieyuan looked like it was on the ground, but in fact it was on a cliff protruding from the valley, surrounded by cliffs, connected by a bridge, which was the Broken Bridge.

The so-called broken bridge is a really broken bridge. Walking a few steps forward, it is already empty, and the middle part seems to be cut off by something.

Below the broken bridge is the abyss, and the mountain wind roars on the bridge, like a ghost crying.

On this side of the broken bridge, there is a bow stand with bows and arrows of different lengths hanging on it. On the opposite side of the broken bridge is a shelf with a copper gong hanging on the shelf. A red dot is painted in the center of the copper gong, which is particularly eye-catching. .

"As long as you shoot an arrow and hit the red dot of the gong on the opposite side, the broken bridge can be connected, and it will be considered as passed." The steward took the hand of the little stone, and said when he reached the broken bridge.

Little Shitou took a step forward curiously, wanting to poke his head down to have a look, but the steward quickly pulled him back, saying, "Dangerous!"

This broken bridge is not fake. If it falls, there will be an abyss below, and there will be no place for death.

Little Shitou made a grimace, walked to the bow stand, picked up a bow, tried his best to suck it up, but didn't pull the bow away—it's not that he was weak, Little Shitou's strength was not weak at all. , but his arms are too short, because the gong is fifty steps away from here, and the mountain wind is strong, even weaker bows may not be able to shoot accurately, so there are long bows on the bow stand.

"Uncle, I can't pull it away..." Xiao Shitou jumped anxiously.

The steward softened his heart, and said with a smile: "Well, this test is due to our poor preparation, so you have passed it."

"Hmph, uncle, you look down on people." Xiao Shitou took the slingshot from his waist and said, "Uncle, I use this!"

"Slingshot..." The steward shook his head and said, "The mountain wind is too strong, even a strong bow with tens of stones will be deflected by the mountain wind..."

Before the words were finished, Xiaoshi raised his hand, touched a pebble, and shot it out with a whoosh.

"Dang!" The red heart was hit, and the sound of the gong was extremely loud. With the sound of the gong, it was like being painted by a skilled painter, and the central bridge deck gradually emerged on the broken bridge, which seemed to be Translucent, faintly visible.

Little Shitou tried it carefully, then stepped on it, shouting and jumping happily: "Uncle, it's fun!"

Looking at the little stone, the steward couldn't help but smile, and said: "Young master is amazing, but you are ready, the next level is very difficult!"

"I'm not afraid!" Xiaoshi patted his chest, and the two walked across the broken bridge hand in hand, and the broken bridge gradually disappeared behind them, and when they reached the opposite side, the bridge returned to its original appearance.

Jin Taiyu bowed and arrowed with his wrist, looking at the backs of the two people, a little dazed.

He knows archery, the so-called six arts of a gentleman, there is archery in it, and he once specially asked someone to teach him, thinking that he is good at archery, but listening to the howling mountain wind, he is a little entangled.

He picked up a thirty-stone bow, and the arrow was blown away by the mountain wind as soon as it flew out.

He changed to a fifty-stone one, and just about to try again, the waiter next to him reminded him: "You can only shoot three arrows at most."

Jin Taiyu shook his head and picked up the sixty-stone bow.

This is already the limit of what he can pull. This kind of power is already very strong among ordinary people, but in these bows, it is extremely small, and women usually use this kind of bow.

He bent his bow and shot an arrow, but the arrow was still deflected and flew past the gong.

Sweat dripped from Jin Taiyu's forehead, and the mountain wind couldn't blow it away.

He took a deep breath, bent his bow and set his arrow again, aimed carefully for a long time, and finally shot an arrow.

"Ding...dang..." The arrow hit the edge of the gong, and without blinking, Jin Taiyu took out a 1000 tael silver note from his pocket, stuffed it into the waiter's hand, and said: " It was shot just now."

"Yes... yes... shot..." The waiter's voice trembled a little.

"Young master, this is the last level." The steward took Xiao Shishi's hand and came to the courtyard wall.

There are four paintings hanging on the wall of the courtyard, and the steward said with a smile: "This is a picture of Qinglian Shrimp from the predecessors. One of them is the real one, and the other three are copied by Mr. Yunping. There is a small door behind each painting. , the correct one leads to the inside, and the others will go back the same way. Young master, you have to take a closer look at the difference."

Little Shitou widened his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and said, "It looks about the same..."

"That's why this level is difficult." The steward smiled, hesitating whether to tell Xiaoshi quietly which one is the answer.

It's amazing for a little boy to do this. He can't really make Zi Baifeng unable to get in, for fear of angering others.

Besides, he also likes small stones a little bit.

Little Stone leaned forward, looked carefully, but closed his eyes, put his nose up, and sniffed.

After sniffing two, the little stone pointed to one of them and said, "This should be true."

"Hey, how did you tell?" The steward was taken aback, Xiao Shitou was really right.

"Because the ink on it hasn't been dry for long." Xiao Shitou smiled triumphantly.

As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

Xiao Shitou spends all day with Zi Wu, and recently helps Zi Wu make ink, and knows the interest in ink very well, this is Chi's part.

The little stones are still with the mountains and hills all day long, and they have acquired the habit of smelling, which is the black part.

With the combination of red and black, the little stone can naturally smell new ink and old ink. He doesn't need to know calligraphy and painting at all, as long as he knows ink.

"Young master, amazing!" The steward stretched out his thumb to Xiao Shitou, and said, "Young master, you go in first, I'll bring you in."

"Thank you, Uncle!" Xiao Shitou's mouth was extraordinarily sweet today.
