In front of the Lantern Riddle Conference, there are red lanterns placed. Each lantern has a puzzle posted on it. Participants only need to answer the puzzle on the lantern correctly.

There are five rows of lantern stands on both sides of the conference. Each lantern stand has nine lanterns. The one who answers the most puzzles correctly is the winner of this conference.

Because of the previous Lantern Riddle Contest, the number of participants in this year’s Lantern Riddle Contest was several times more than before.

Before the lantern riddle competition started, many onlookers had already gathered before the conference, discussing in front of the lanterns.

"Who do you think will win the award this time? Is it still the last guessing champion Jiang Liu?"

"It's very likely to be him, after all. He got the monkey hair for fighting against the Buddha last time. Maybe he can win the championship again this time."

"I don’t know what the reward will be this time. ."

At this time, a man came out, patted his chest very confidently and said: "I heard from internal sources that the reward this time is likely to be a cassock provided by the meritorious Buddha. It looks like it’s a brocade cassock.”

“A brocade cassock?! Wouldn’t that make a lot of money?”

The brocade cassock is made of extraordinary materials , it is also inlaid with dozens of bright and dazzling gems, which are not only bright and beautiful, but also impervious to water, fire and evil spirits.

Moreover, this brocade cassock was once a treasure given to Tang Monk by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it is of extraordinary value.

Just a single gemstone on a cassock can be sold for tens of millions of merit.

If you can get this brocade cassock, it is no exaggeration to say that you will have enough food and clothing for several lifetimes.

Once the news spread, everyone at the scene was extremely excited.

At this time, a sloppy old man with a cane squeezed out of the crowd, walked towards the man who provided the inside information, and asked curiously: "Sir, may I ask if this information you are talking about is Really?"

The man first glanced at the other party up and down. Seeing that the other party was in ragged clothes, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a puzzled look: "This old man, are you planning to participate too? Lantern riddle competition, right?"

The old man smiled and nodded: "I have always heard that Chang'an City's Buddha Festival is famous all over the world, and I came here today to see if I won the championship of the lantern riddle competition as the legend says. You can soar into the sky."

"Hahaha..."

The man laughed, not mocking the other person, but said with pride: "You... That's right. If you can win the lantern riddle competition, you can really fly into the sky, like that JiangThird, he has won the championship of the Lantern Riddle Competition five times in a row, and is now the richest man in our Chang'an City. "

"If you can win the championship in this conference, you will be richer than Jiang San. ”

The rewards in previous conferences were either panaceas or magic weapons. Indeed, there is no reward more valuable than this brocade cassock.

Old man Surprised: "Hey, are you sure that the reward this time is the brocade cassock? "

"Of course, the people holding the lantern riddle competition this time include my relatives. How can my news be false? "The man said with a proud face.

At this time, a passerby smiled mischievously, approached the man and asked: "Since you can get inside information, what kind of relative of yours? Won't I give you a thorough question? If you could get this brocade cassock, wouldn't it be great? "

The man looked horrified and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't dare. Have you forgotten how the last cheater was punished? ”

About a few years ago, a man guessed all the lantern riddles correctly at a lantern riddle convention, which aroused the suspicion of the organizer of the convention.

It was later verified. , only to discover that the person had obtained all the lantern riddles in advance, so he could guess all the lantern riddles correctly.

According to the regulations of the conference, those who cheat will be dealt with by the person who sponsored the prize.
>
And the prizes of that lantern riddle competition happened to be sponsored by Yang Jian.

Yang Jian always hated these opportunistic people, so he immediately used a spell to turn the opponent into a pig. Until now, the cheater still doesn’t know which pigsty he is in.

After seeing the punishment for cheating, no one dares to cheat in the lantern riddle competition anymore.

/>Then, the man turned to look at the old man and continued: "Old man, it's okay for you to have dreams, but I advise you to stop dreaming. With Jiang San here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to win the championship in this conference. . "

"Not to mention that Jiang San is the most powerful riddle king in Chang'an City, and I heard that the puzzles of this lantern riddle competition are several times more difficult than those of previous ones. I advise you. It's better to just join in the fun. ”

“Even if you can’t win the championship, it would be nice to get a participation award. "

The old man asked curiously: "What is the participation award? "

The man replied: "A mask of the Fighting Holy Buddha. "

When the old man heard this, he curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I can see the Great Sage. Why do I want his mask? ”

The man didn’t hear clearly what the old man said and asked in confusionSaid: "What did you say, old man?"

The old man waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Nothing, thank you for your answer, little brother, and say goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Then, the old man turned around and walked out of the crowd, walking up to a middle-aged man in white with a refined temperament.

When the middle-aged man saw the old man coming out with a cane, he quickly went up to him and asked, "Tieguai Li, are you here?"

It turned out that this ragged man The old man is transformed from Tieguai Li.

The middle-aged man opposite is Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals.

Tieguai Li had long heard that Chang’an City’s Buddhist Ceremony Festival was very famous, and he became even more curious after hearing that the prize last time was Sun Wukong’s monkey hair.

So Tieguai Li took advantage of the fact that there was nothing in heaven, so he took Lu Dongbin down to Chang'an City to have a look.

In order not to be recognized by the people in Chang'an City, the two of them transformed into mortals to participate in the lantern riddle contest.

Tieguai Li smiled at Lu Dongbin, nodded and said, "I asked, and said that the reward this time is a brocade cassock."

Lu Dongbin showed a hint of surprise. Color: "You are talking about the brocade cassock that Guanyin Bodhisattva gave to Tang Monk? Is this news reliable?"

Obviously, Lu Dongbin did not expect that Tang Monk would be so generous and gave Guanyin Bodhisattva to Tang Monk. The beautiful brocade cassock was taken as the prize of this conference.

Tieguai Li said very categorically: "Of course it's reliable."

"By the way, Brother Lu." Tieguai Li changed the subject, smiled, and slightly He said with some embarrassment: "Brother Lu, as you know, my money has been tight recently. How about you help me win this cassock?"

Tieguai Li glanced at him, and then said: "Who makes you always like to buy useless things? It's entirely your own fault that you are tight on money. I will not help you cheat."

Tieguai Li clasped his hands together. , pleading to Lu Dongbin with a pitiful look: "Brother Lu, we have been immortal friends for so many years, why don't you do this little favor?"

"Brother Guai Li , It’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that I have never participated in this lantern riddle competition, and I am not sure I can help you win. You also know that I never agree to anything I am not sure about.”

Listening to Lu Dongbin’s words, Tieguai Li sighed helplessly, shook his head dejectedly and said, “Is this brocade cassock going to be missed by me?”

Just when Tieguai Li felt helpless At this time, suddenly a figure came into view.

"Hey? Isn't this the debt collector? Why is he here?"

After muttering, Tieguai Li waved his hands in the direction of Qin Tian and shouted loudly He shouted: "Debt collector, debt collector?"

Qin Tian turned around and saw an old man in ragged clothes and holding a cane waving to him, so he looked confused. He walked over and asked: "Who are you?"

"Oh, it's me, Tieguai Li." Tieguai Li shook the crutch in his hand to indicate his identity.

"Tieguai Li? How did you become like this?"

Qin Tian came here by searching for the name of 'Tieguai Li' through the debt loan app. At first, I was wondering why I couldn't find Tieguai Li, but I never thought that the other person turned into an old man.

Tieguai Li chuckled and said, "I didn't come here just to participate in the lantern riddle contest. I changed my appearance so that no one would recognize me."

"Oh, yes. Okay, this is Brother Lu, he is here with me."

Lu Dongbin bowed his hands to Qin Tian and saluted: "Lu Dongbin has seen debt collectors before."

/> "Lv Xianren is polite." Qin Tian smiled in return.

Lu Dongbin was frightened and waved his hand: "I cannot afford it, Immortal Lu. From now on, the debt collectors can just call me by my name."

"Okay." Qin Tian nodded. , then turned to look at Tieguai Li, and said with a sinister smile: "By the way, Tieguai Li, aren't you going to teach my students? How come you still have time to participate in some lantern riddle competition?"
< br />"This...I..."

Tieguai Li suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, feeling extremely guilty, and quickly changed the subject with a smile: "By the way, why are you here for debt collection? ”

Seeing Tieguai Li’s appearance, Qin Tian could guess with his toes that he was skipping school to attend a lantern riddle contest.

But Qin Tian doesn’t care about this at all now, after all, the most important thing is to accept the thunder gourd for Joey.

Seeing Tieguai Li asking, Qin Tian directly explained the purpose of his visit: "I'm here specifically to find you."

Tieguai Li asked with a blank look on his face: "What does the debt collector want from me?"

Qin Tian got straight to the point: "I want to ask you for a hundred and eighty thunder gourds to help my future wife survive the natural disaster."

Tieguai Li's eyes widened: "How much more...?"

"One hundred and eighty!"

"Debt collector, you don't know how to Do you think my thunder gourd was blown by the strong wind from the sky? You said I have no problem with a dozen, but that’s a hundred and eightyTen thunder gourds! Even if I were a gourd spirit, I wouldn't have produced so many Yun Lei gourds earlier! "

Qin Tian looked like a ruffian, spread his hands and said: "Then I don't care, I won't hold you accountable if you skipped class to attend some lantern riddle competition. These one hundred and eighty thunder gourds are yours. You must give it to me, otherwise if something happens to my future wife, I will blame it all on you. "

Tieguai Li jumped anxiously: "The debt collection makes you... you are so unreasonable, I... I only have a total of eighty gourds now, you ask me to start from How can I conjure up more than a hundred for you? ”

If it were someone else who was so cruel and unreasonable, Tieguai Li would probably have greeted him with a cane.

But no matter what, Tieguai Li didn’t do it at all. Dare to attack Qin Tian, ​​because he can't beat him at all.

"Then you can give me the eighty gourds now, otherwise I will take you back to Yunwu College to teach now. "Qin Tian curled his lips and said.

Look at Qin Tian's appearance, as if he was the one who suffered.

"..."

Tieguai Li choked up at his words.

Originally Tieguai Li was in the wrong, and he couldn’t argue or beat him, so for a moment he didn’t know how to respond.

At this moment, Lu Dongbin on the side opened his mouth to mediate.

"Debt collector, although Yun Lei Gourd is not very important to Brother Guai Li, it can be regarded as one of his few sources of income. , no matter what, you are also our savior. It is naturally not easy for Brother Li to ask for money from you. "

"How about this, if you help Brother Guai Li win the championship of this lantern riddle competition, not only will all Brother Guai Li's thunder gourds be given to you, but I will also go there in person to help you with your future. How about Madam Protector? ”

After hearing this, Qin Tian felt that this condition was good.

If Lu Dongbin could protect Joey, then there would be greater hope that she could survive the natural disaster safely. Some.

Coupled with Tieguai Li’s more than eighty thunder gourds, they can help Joey survive the disaster safely.

Qin Tian smashed it He smacked his lips and nodded: "It's not impossible, but how can we win this lantern riddle competition? Just guessing a riddle? "

Seeing Qin Tian's interest, Tieguai Li was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, as long as you guess the lantern riddles correctly, you can win the prize for this conference. The reason why I skipped class and came here is It's because this lantern riddle competition only happens once a year, so don't wait for the opportunity. "

Then, Tieguai Li smiled sarcastically and asked: "I wonder if the debt collector is good at guessing riddles? "

Qin Tian patted his chest and said very confidently: "What a joke, you know I have read dozens of books.A man with a quick brain, can a little guessing defeat me? "

"What, what is a brain teaser? "Tieguai Li asked with a confused look on his face.

"Anyway, it's just a book for guessing riddles in the secular world. Qin Tian waved his hand: "None of this is important. What's important is that I can help you win the championship." "

After hearing that Qin Tian had read more than a dozen books about guessing, Tieguai Li grinned and was overjoyed. He raised his hands to Qin Tian and thanked him: "Then I will thank you Zhui now. The debt is gone, this time the championship will all depend on you. "

"Are you the only ones who want to win the championship in this lantern riddle competition? Really don't laugh at other people's teeth. ”

Looking around, I saw a man dressed in silk and satin, full of nobility, walking towards him, followed by several burly men.

As soon as the man appeared, some women around him let out exaggerated shouts.

“It’s Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang is here! "

" Mr. Jiang, you have to work hard for this lantern riddle competition! "

" Mr. Jiang is still as usual, so handsome. "

"It seems that Mr. Jiang is going to win the championship of this lantern riddle competition again this time. "

"If he also wins the championship this time, Mr. Jiang will have won the lantern riddle competition for the sixth time. He is worthy of being the number one talent in Chang'an City, with both talent and appearance. "

Tieguai Li looked at the other party and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you Jiang San? ”
