"Let's play a word puzzle!"
"Spend a little money, win a big prize!"
"You can claim a reward as long as you guess the chosen riddle correctly!"
"If you guess correctly ten times in a row, you will win the grand prize: a Taoist sachet worth a hundred taels of silver, which can calm the mind, soothe the body, and ward off evil."
Taoist sachets: for protection and warding off evil?
Li Xuan became interested after hearing this.
He moved closer and got to the gearshift.
At this time, the stall was crowded with people, all playing word puzzles.
They were clearly all drawn to the Taoist sachet, which was worth a hundred taels of silver.
Li Xuan did not immediately step forward, but instead observed the situation.
This word puzzle is not the simple kind of game you've played before.
In the past, word puzzles involved presenting the riddle's content and guessing the answer.
But this new way of playing is simply blind boxes.
Each riddle is closed.
Once opened, you need to answer within twenty breaths (one breath is one inhalation and one exhalation, one breath is three seconds, and twenty breaths equals one minute).
Guess all three correctly and receive a small gift.
If you guess six correctly, you'll receive another small gift.
If you guess ten correctly, you can win the grand prize: a Taoist incense pouch worth a hundred taels of silver!
A sachet crafted by the Renzong Taoist Temple can withstand attacks from the eighth rank and has the effects of dispelling evil and calming the mind.
While Li Xuan was observing.
Two women slowly approached.
One of them was exceptionally beautiful, naturally gorgeous, with skin as smooth as jade, surpassing even the beauty of peach blossoms.
She possesses a noble air, and her demeanor and speech reveal a composed, elegant, and graceful style.
At this moment, her maid spoke up.
"Princess, it's so lively here."
"It looks like a word puzzle, but it's a blind guessing game, a new way to play."
"It looks interesting, but it's also challenging."
Princess Pingyang blinked her bright eyes and said softly, "Yes, this way of playing is quite novel."
"Each riddle is closed, randomly selected, and the difficulty varies."
"If you're unlucky, the first one you get will be extremely difficult. If you can't answer within twenty breaths, you'll immediately fail the challenge."
"No wonder he dared to reward the person with a Taoist sachet worth a hundred taels of silver after guessing correctly ten times in a row."
The maid nodded repeatedly and suggested, "Princess, how about we play a game?"
Princess Pingyang was somewhat tempted upon hearing this.
She was well-versed in poetry and literature from a young age and was quite talented.
I'm quite confident in my ability to solve word puzzles.
Also.
Being cooped up in the mansion for so long is incredibly boring.
I've come across a new way to play word puzzles; it's quite novel and worth a try.
"Then, let's give it a try!"
Princess Pingyang pursed her lips and agreed.
"Okay."
"I'll go pay the money."
The maidservant quickly stepped forward and handed over twenty coins.
This is the entrance fee for participating in the word puzzle game.
After paying the money, the maid said with a smile, "Princess, you may begin."
Princess Pingyang nodded slightly, stepped forward, and took a slip of paper.
With her slender, snow-white hands, she gently tore off the seal on the note.
Soon, the contents appeared.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountains are all connected; there are mountains but no trees, and trees but no mountains. (Guess the Chinese character)
"what?"
How do we guess this?
The maid stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.
Princess Pingyang, however, slightly moved her delicate eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
After counting the interest.
She smiled charmingly and replied calmly, "Tian!"
Upon hearing this, an employee nearby said, "Congratulations, young lady, you answered correctly!"
"You can choose the second note now."
"Miss, you are truly amazing," the maid praised.
Princess Pingyang smiled gently and solved the second riddle.
Open it, and the content will be displayed.
The visitor seems ill-intentioned. (Guess a Chinese character)
After thinking for a moment, she immediately replied, "Funeral!"
After he finished speaking, the employee nodded slightly: "You got it right!"
Upon seeing this, the maidservant exclaimed happily, "Princess, you've answered the second question correctly too!"
"Hurry up and solve the third riddle, then you can get your first little gift."
Answer three correctly and receive a small gift.
In this way, the entrance fee of twenty coins is not a loss.
Princess Pingyang was also somewhat expectant.
She quickly picked up another riddle and solved it.
"Yellow silk, young woman, grandson, mortar and pestle?" (Guess four characters)
Upon seeing the riddle, Princess Pingyang frowned and was immediately taken aback.
This riddle is extremely difficult.
It's simply impossible to answer within twenty breaths.
"Looks like I won't be getting the little gift."
She shook her head slightly and gave a bitter smile.
"Miss, it's not time yet."
The maid asked, puzzled.
Princess Pingyang shook her head and said, "This riddle is very difficult. Even if you gave me a whole day, let alone twenty breaths, I would still find it hard to guess."
She was self-aware, so she didn't waste her time.
"Oh? That's a pity!" The maid looked regretful.
Princess Pingyang regained her composure and said softly, "Let's go, we've failed."
After saying that, she prepared to leave the stall with her maid.
But that's it.
A gentle, magnetic voice rang out.
"Why don't you let me give it a try?"
Princess Pingyang was taken aback and looked at the person who spoke with her almond-shaped eyes.
A young man, dressed in a constable's uniform, with handsome features and a tall, upright figure.
"Wow, this constable is so handsome!"
Upon seeing this, the maid standing nearby couldn't help but blush.
"Cough cough~"
