Chapter 52 - Bloody Hand Beauty Slaughter
The lanterns with gold foil are pasted. The candlelight inside is bright, the outside is shining with golden light, and there are calligraphy and paintings around it. The wooden stand is even more carved and red paint is on the carving, which is particularly conspicuous at this night.
Obviously, this lantern is just an attractive gimmick, so the merchant must try every means to make people unable to guess the riddles on the lantern, so that this gimmick can be preserved.
Of course, the merchants are also smart. They are not really unwilling to give people guessing this gold foil lantern, but they have to control it and not make people guess it too early. Although there is gold foil on the lantern, although the gold foil looks good, it is just a thin piece of gold. Although handwork is troublesome, the actual value is actually not very high. Gold foil lanterns are used to attract people. If later, when the crowd of people guessing riddles slowly disappears, the atmosphere will reach the highest point. This matter itself can attract people, and it can bring back the crowd. This is the only way to use it.
There are hundreds of lanterns in this row of the same house, with different shapes and crowds of people watching. Many people gathered under the gold foil lanterns, thinking about whether they could rack their brains to earn the gold foil lanterns home, and some people had women around them, so they would rack their brains to continue and not give up halfway.
Xu Jie and his group surrounded him, but found that the riddles on the lantern were not one, but four, and there was a riddle in four directions. That is, they had to guess all the four riddles at once before they could take off the lantern.
The simplest thing about riddles is that the answer is on the riddle, followed by the word splitting, and it is also difficult to disassemble the word. The more difficult thing is that the answer to the riddle requires people to imagine, which is more advanced. Whether it can be guessed quickly by association has some luck.
For example, the mystery that Xu Jie saw on the front of his head at this time: one thousand is less than, ten thousand is more than.
This riddle requires some association. For example, the previous riddle of the bald donkey was just a little more difficult to disassemble the word. The difficulty of the riddle is actually much simpler than the riddle at this time. However, the riddle is better than a pun. The riddle and the answer are both the same thing. Sweeping away the heart of the ordinary and tied the horse on the riddle is a satirizing monk, and the answer is a bald donkey. This also shows a bit of cleverness.
Xu Jie obviously knew that this was a riddle, but he didn't know which direction to guess it.
Ouyang Wenqin was also frowning and pondering. Ouyang Wenfeng turned to the other side for a moment and went to see another riddle. Ouyang Wenfeng was so pragmatic, with so many riddles. There were always one that he could guess, so he no longer had to entangle on the riddle.
Xu Jie turned his head and looked at Ouyang Wenqin, and thought harder. Xu Jie would not show any timidity when he was in front of the beautiful lady. What's more, Xu Jie seemed to have some other thoughts. Although he was just a little bit moved, and even Xu Jie didn't even know it, it did not prevent Xu Jie from expressing his thoughts in front of Ouyang Wenqin.
Even Xu Jie was still thinking hard, and suddenly someone shouted above his head: "Don't run away, take your life!"
Xu Jie looked up and saw a man above his head holding a long knife running on the rooftop on the street, jumping a few steps away, and the speed was extremely fast, making the roof tiles fly across.
Looking behind him, he chased the man in front of him with a sword. Xu Jie immediately recognized that the man in white clothes was He Jiyue, and the person who spoke was also her.
Ouyang Wenfeng was naturally looking up, and seeing He Jiyue chasing people on the roof, he spoke to Xu Jie: "Brother Wenyuan, please help me quickly, that woman must be chasing the thief."
Xu Jie turned around and looked at Ouyang Wenfeng. Seeing Ouyang Wenfeng's expression was filled with indignation, he asked, "Wenfeng, do you recognize that woman?"
Ouyang Wenfeng was still looking up, but he replied, "I don't know."
Xu Jie asked again: "Then how do you know who is the good person and who is the bad person?"
Ouyang Wenfeng glanced at Xu Jie and said anxiously: "Can the woman in white be a bad person? The man who escaped in front of him must be a thief."
Xu Jie looked at He Jiyue rushing towards the rooftop of his head, but he didn't go to help. He said, "Brother Wenfeng, you don't understand the world of the world. The more beautiful the people in the world are, the more they kill people without blinking. You can't judge people with appearance. We guess the riddle, let them fight and kill."
Ouyang Wenfeng was stunned when he heard this, disbelief in his heart, and asked, "Are you really that? The more beautiful the one is, the worse the person is?"
Xu Jie obviously didn't want to get involved in He Jiyue's affairs. At this time, He Jiyue was chasing people, and obviously had the upper hand, and Xu Jie didn't need to get involved. He Jiyue naturally couldn't be considered a bad person. He didn't expect Xu Jie to take it seriously and nodded seriously and said, "The woman in white is the devil who kills people without blinking in the world. She is known as the Blood Hand Beauty Slaughter. From ninety-nine to the point where she can leave."
Ouyang Wenfeng was shocked when he heard this. Thinking that he heard the woman shouting "Come on his life" in front of him, he seemed to be really going to kill someone. He was even more shocked, but he said, "Brother Wenyuan, since he is such a devil, he should quickly chase him to eliminate harm for the people and save his life."
While speaking, He Jiyue had already run far from the roof. Xu Jie looked at Ouyang Wenfeng with a chivalrous look on his face, but he didn't know how to answer. However, he didn't expect that Ouyang Wenfeng, a scholar, would be so concerned about this world. However, the others just regarded it as strange, and they chased and fled over the roof. They were surprised for a few times and then did their own things.
"He can't beat it." Yun Shuhuan said expressionlessly.
When Ouyang Wenfeng heard this, he was slightly discouraged and said, "Then I will report to the official, and I will report to the official now."
Xu Jie was slightly embarrassed when he heard Yun Shuhuan's words. He looked up and only looked at the riddle. When Ouyang Wenfeng said he would go to report to the official, he stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Wenfeng, there is no time to report to the official, no matter what."
Ouyang Wenqin, who was obsessed with riddles next to her, suddenly smiled and said, "One thousand is not enough, more than ten thousand. I understand."
Xu Jie heard Ouyang Wenqin guessed it first and murmured: "It's all because of the big demon who kills without blinking."
Yun Shuhuan saw Xu Jie's serious look, lowered his head and shook it gently a few times. This Young Master Xu was really a little petty.
Ouyang Wenfeng quickly asked, "Sister, what is the answer?"
Ouyang Wenqin leaned closer to Xu Jie and said softly: "One thousand fewer is a scattered, and more than ten thousand is a square, which is a imitation word!"
"Sister is so powerful." Ouyang Wenfeng praised.
"Miss Ouyang is very talented." Xu Jie praised, but he had already reached the other side and saw another riddle: he went to the upper half and had the lower half, and there was no (no) the lower half.
This riddle is not simple, but this riddle is more like a word-breaking riddle. Xu Jie's hand was already wiggling in the air, racing against time, and trying again and again. The difficulty lies in how to spell the four sentences, and the difficulty of spelling into words is the difficulty. It may also be not a word, so you need to guess it.
Ouyang Wenfeng also turned around and said, "The first two sentences are the word 'Yu', and the word 'Go' is left half and the word 'half is left half. It is Yu, but the last two sentences are hard to guess."
Xu Jie had already spoken: "Four sentences are one word, it is 'bear'."
After Xu Jie finished speaking, he raised his head and headed to the other side, and was in a good mood. So he waited for Ouyang Wenfeng to praise him. Ouyang Wenfeng naturally wanted to praise him, and Ouyang Wenqin also said, "Young Master Xu is quick-witted."
Xu Jie smiled and looked extremely helpful. He looked up again: He spoke in a deep voice.
This riddle requires association, and Xu Jie nodded and replied: "A visit is a visit!"
After saying that, Xu Jie changed the side again, and it was the last question, with only two words:?2.
Xu Jie laughed after reading this topic. Because it seemed familiar, there was a stele on the West Lake in Hangzhou in later generations, and the inscription was these two words.
