Chapter 324 [Mystery of the Empty House]

"Three points to Wei, Shu and Wu!"

This is a pairing that is very impressive in Xue Poye's memory. In his previous life, this pairing caused a stir in the literary world. Countless couplets were written to welcome it, but it never gained public recognition until this "ten thousand"

When the second line "Bitterness, Greed, Anger, and Crazy" came out, the literati felt that this second line was already considered absolute, and I was afraid there would be no better second line. Only then did the turmoil in the literary world subside.

Xue Poye didn't expect that such a pair would be asked by Mr. Qingyi on an occasion like today. It seemed that he was really lucky, so the second line of "Ten Thousands of Sufferings, Greeds, Angers, and Idiots" quickly came out of his mouth.

.

Mr. Qingyi was startled. He obviously did not expect that Xue Poye came up with the second line without much thinking. He couldn't help but softly chanted: "Ten thousand hardships, greed, anger, and ignorance, all kinds of hardships, greed, anger, and ignorance...!"

"Okay!" A gentleman watching next to him muttered to himself, and couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted "Okay!"

Xue Poye looked at Mr. Qingyi with a smile, and said slowly: "Mr. Qingyi, at this level, you are the teacher. If it is too much, it all depends on your decision. If Xue's second line is still meaningful, I hope Mr. Qingyi will express it."

Down."

Mr. Qingyi thought for a long time and finally waved his hand and said: "Go, you... passed the test!"

Xue Poye bowed and breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Qingyi didn't ask about the article and came up with the right answer. By some combination of circumstances, Xue Poye passed this test.

Under the guidance of the bodyguard, Xue Poye walked to the place where the passers gathered. He saw only one or two hundred candidates. After being eliminated from this level, less than thirty people passed this level and entered the second level.

Two questions.

After all the candidates from the fourteen teams had answered the questions, a total of twenty-eight people had passed this test, and the rest were sent away.

Xue Poye looked at Xiao Shitou and saw the little guy standing in the corner of the room, folding his arms and looking calm and collected. There was no need to worry, so he smiled and nodded, and Xiao Shitou gave a grimace in return.

"Everyone, congratulations to everyone for answering the question. Please take a short break. After a while, we will start the second question." It was still the thick bodyguard who said to everyone with a smile.

One kind of people all relaxed and prepared for two questions.

But the scholars gathered together, opened the iron box, and were all mumbling something, until Mr. Qingyi waved to the escort, who quickly walked over, Mr. Qingyi whispered a few words, and the escort

Toulian claimed that he was right, and immediately ran back, holding his fists in his hands and saying: "Everyone, please follow me to the back house!"

"Going to the rear quarters?"

"Isn't there nothing in the backyard?"

"Yes, there is a room there. I heard that in the academy, anyone who is naughty or breaks the school rules will be kicked out to the back room and locked up in the room for punishment."

"Yes, yes, that's the case. Baili Academy is very strict."

Everyone was talking, but when they saw that the escort leader had already started to go to the side door, they didn't dare to delay and followed him.

Even the little stone followed the crowd.

The rear house is not far behind the quiet house. Through the quiet bamboo forest path, there is an extremely empty small field. There is nothing else there, only a small bamboo house built with bamboo. Although it is not big, it is very exquisite.

But as we all know, few people usually come to this place, and although this room looks exquisite, no one wants to get close to it.

The state has national laws, families have family rules, and this academy naturally has its own rules. Once some of the more important rules of the academy are violated, the student who made the mistake will be locked up in this small room to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

So as soon as they came to this place, many people were very confused and didn't know what kind of problem Mr. Tatsuyin locked in the box.

Xue Poye put his hands behind his back, frowned slightly, and was a little confused. Seeing the candidates looking at each other, it seemed that everyone was very worried.

"Everyone!" Mr. Qingyi stood out from the crowd, walked to the side of the bamboo house, stroking his beard and said: "I believe many of you know that this is the room used by Baili Academy to punish erring students. It is not used on weekdays, so the room

It's empty, there's nothing. This room is used to reflect on mistakes and calm people's hearts, so not even a single window is opened, and it's closed on all sides." He coughed, paused, and saw that everyone was listening to him carefully.

, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Mr. Chenyin's two questions are about this empty room."

Everyone around was even more surprised. Someone had already asked: "Excuse me, sir, how does Mr. Chen Yin's problem relate to the bamboo house?"

Mr. Qingyi glanced at the twenty-eight candidates present, and even looked at Xue Poye in particular, before slowly saying: "Actually, this problem sounds very simple to say, but it is very difficult to solve." He thought for a moment and finally said.

: "This question is a test of the wisdom of all the talented people. After the question comes out, if anyone thinks of the answer, just stand up and answer it. Those who can answer it correctly will pass. But there is a rule, the answer of the person who answers first will be judged later.

The person who answered the question is no longer available. Can you hear me clearly, students?"

"Listen clearly!" everyone replied.

Someone immediately asked: "Is it possible that Mr. Chen Yin's question has many answers?"

Mr. Qingyi chuckled and said: "It's a lot of answers, rather a lot of ways. It depends on whether you have the wisdom to come up with it." After coughing, he finally said: "Okay, everyone, please wait. If you are locked in the house by yourself,

Close the door tightly and do not allow any part of your body to touch anything in the house. How can you get out?"

As soon as the topic came out, there was a moment of silence.

No one wants to speak out their thoughts and share them with others, otherwise they will be preempted by others and they will not be able to speak out. The most important thing is that this problem is really difficult. Although the conditions seem simple, this condition

But it limits too many possibilities.

"Can I touch the clothes and shoes on my body?"

"No!" Mr. Qingyi shook his head and said, "Shoes and clothing are body belongings and cannot be touched."

"Sir, are you saying that you can't even touch the door latch with your teeth?" After holding on for a long time, someone finally asked again.

Mr. Qingyi nodded with a smile, and the old guy actually joked: "Unless you want to say that the teeth are not yours, or...hehe, knock off the front teeth...!"

There was a burst of laughter, but after the laughter, everyone was still thinking hard about what they could do.

Xue Poye stared at the house for a long time, but saw silence in the place, but no one came out to answer the question. It seemed that this question was a particularly difficult problem for everyone.

It took a long time before one person came out and gave an answer. He was eliminated, because that answer made people find countless faults. The guy had no choice but to withdraw from the competition.

Xue Poye touched his nose and suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes behind him. When he looked back, he didn't know when Xiao Shitou was standing behind him.

His eyes suddenly lit up. He thought of something, and Fu'er whispered a few words to Xiao Shitou. Xiao Shitou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in a low voice: "Master, you are really smart, I know."

Xue Poye laughed, put his hands behind his back, stood up, and said to Mr. Qingyi: "Sir, Xue is not talented, I am willing to give it a try!"

"Oh!" Mr. Qingyi's hostility towards Xue Poye disappeared a lot because of Xue Poye's second line. He felt a sense of appreciation and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xue, please tell me. I want you to

The ugly words are ahead. If what you say is wrong, you will be jumped out of the loop, and you will violate the rules, but if you want to withdraw from the competition, you should think twice."

Xue Poye smiled and said: "Xue knows. But Xue wants to answer the question himself, enter the house, and then come out without touching anything in the house with any part of his body."

There was a burst of surprise all around.

In fact, everyone is also angry in their hearts. Mr. Chenyin’s question is really too difficult. How can you open the door if your whole body does not touch any part of the bamboo house? If the door cannot be opened, how can you get out?

This shopkeeper Xue seems to be full of confidence. Is there any magic that he can't do? In other words, this shopkeeper Xue has developed the ability to walk out of the wall? But even if he can walk out of the wall, doesn't his body still touch the wall of the house?

, that would be considered a violation of the rules.

Mr. Qingyi thought for a moment and then ordered: "Open the bamboo door and let Shopkeeper Xue in!"

The escort immediately went up and opened the door. Under the gaze of everyone, Xue Poye walked slowly and gracefully, and finally stepped into the bamboo house.

Mr. Qingyi signaled the escort to close the bamboo door tightly, so the whole room was sealed on all sides without any exit. The candidates around him were curious and excited, and wanted to know what method Xue Poye would use to escape from this tightly closed door.

Get out of the bamboo house without any exit.

Xue Poye walked into the house. The door was closed tightly. The room was extremely dark for a while. If it weren't for the light coming from the small gap between the walls of the bamboo house, it would have been completely dark and nothing could be seen.

He first looked around and saw that the room was indeed sealed tightly. Even if he was allowed to do something, it would be difficult for ordinary weak scholars to get out. What's more, no one's body, including clothes and shoes, could touch any part of the room.

This is really a difficult problem to solve.

In the cold winter weather, Xiao Suzhen was sitting in her boudoir, looking at the banana tree outside, with a look of anxiety on her face.

Suddenly hearing a burst of light footsteps, Xiao Suzhen's delicate body trembled, she hurriedly got up, rushed to the door and opened it, only to see Hanxiang running over quickly like a nimble little swallow.

Outside the house there was a snowman piled up a few days ago. Hanxiang ran past the snowman and saw Xiao Suzhen standing in front of the door looking at her nervously, so she slowed down her pace and looked depressed.

"Damn girl, why don't you come in quickly!" Xiao Suzhen urged as she glared at Hanxiang.

Hanxiang walked to the door, glanced at Xiao Suzhen, sighed, and said: "Is there any good news? Why are you urging me? I'm just letting you down earlier."

Xiao Suzhen was startled, pulled Hanxiang into the house, closed the door, and whispered: "You...what did you say? Disappointed? Why should I be disappointed?"

Hanxiang pouted and said: "I have a girl who is running around asking for news for you in the middle of winter. You don't even ask me if I am cold or not, you just ask these questions. Hey...my life is so miserable...

…!”

Xiao Suzhen stamped her foot, stretched out her hand and gently plucked her fragrant pink little ears, and said softly: "Little girl, you...are you making fun of me? See if I don't pluck your ears off."

Hanxiang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, miss, I was wrong. Let me go. Do you still want to hear the news?"

Xiao Suzhen let go of her hand, glared at her, then sat down aside and asked in a low voice: "What on earth...what happened?" There was a bit of worry in her voice.

"Yesterday, Mr. Xue was the last one to register his name." Hanxiang poured a cup of hot tea into the pot on the table, then took a big sip and patted his chest, feeling indescribably comfortable.

Xiao Suzhen clenched her pink fist tightly and asked: "Then he...did he pass?"

Hanxiang giggled and said, "Miss, that's a two-hundred-pound stone lion. Not everyone can move it. Many people were scared away when they saw the stone lion, but not many people got through it."

Xiao Suzhen's pretty face was tense, and she said in a trembling voice: "Then...then he didn't pass the test?"

Seeing that Xiao Suzhen was really nervous, Hanxiang stopped teasing and said with a smile: "But Mr. Xue is not an ordinary person, but the two hundred kilogram stone lion has moved. I heard people say that the stone lion is in Mr. Xue's house."

In his hand, like a feather, Mr. Xue moved it easily."

Xiao Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief and patted her plump breasts gently, as if she was frightened and needed to be soothed. However, although the worries in her heart could be soothed, her plump breasts could only be caressed more and more.

It's bigger.

But she soon became nervous again and asked: "What about today? How is the situation today?"

Hanxiang took another sip of water, and then said: "Today, I relied on two questions. These questions are all questions in literature, but I have found out about Mr. Xue's question."

"Mr.

"It's a pair." Hanxiang scratched his ears and thought for a moment, then said: "Mr. Qingyi gave him a pair. The first couplet is 'three points Wei, Shu and Wu'. Everyone said this is an extremely difficult pair."

Even if you are knowledgeable, I’m afraid you won’t be able to match it.”

Xiao Suzhen pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "This is a clever pairing. There is no specified second line. I just want to understand the meaning and create a unified second line of artistic conception."

"Have you thought of the second couplet, Miss?"

Xiao Suzhen thought for a while and said: "If I am right, I will be right against the 'Jiu Yao Sun, Moon and Star'. Well, it is not very good, but I can match it. By the way, Mr. Xue... How is Mr. Xue right?"

"

Hanxiang said: "Master Xue is right about 'all suffering, greed, anger and ignorance'!"

"Ten thousand sufferings, greed, anger and ignorance!" Xiao Suzhen chanted softly, and said quietly: "The artistic conception of his second couplet is much higher than my 'Nine Lights, Sun, Moon and Stars'. He...he is right."

"

"Yes, many people praised Mr. Xue for his good handling, even those gentlemen praised him very much." Hanxiang said excitedly: "More than a hundred people were eliminated at this level, and only about twenty are left.

"

Xiao Suzhen nodded and said, "Didn't you say there are two more questions? What are the second questions?"

Hanxiang laughed and said: "These two questions are very rare. This question was asked by the master. He asked those students to enter the back room of Baili Academy, closed the door tightly, and then made them unable to use their bodies.

Anywhere, including clothes and shoes, touching any part of the house, under these conditions, people can come out of the house."

Xiao Suzhen frowned, thought for a while, and said angrily: "Isn't this difficult for my father? How... how is this possible?"

Hanxiang blinked and asked: "Miss, you are so smart, but you have no idea?"

Xiao Suzhen shook her head and sighed: "In that case, I really have no choice. I can't touch the house with my body, so naturally I can't open the door with my hands. If the door doesn't open, how can I get out? I...!"

She thought about it again, then finally shook her head and said, "I have no choice. I will have to ask my father later on how I can get out."

Hanxiang chuckled and said, "You have no choice, but Mr. Xue has some."

"He...he passed?" Xiao Suzhen was so surprised that she stood up, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.

Hanxiang smiled and said: "Miss, you don't admit that you like Mr. Xue, but when have you ever forgotten him in your heart? As soon as you heard that he passed the test, you were so happy, eh...!"

"Damn girl, don't talk nonsense, how did he pass the test?" Xiao Suzhen was happy and curious at the same time. She was happy that her lover finally passed the test. She was curious about how Xue Poye solved such a difficult question.

Open.

Hanxiang sighed: "Actually, everyone thought it was very difficult, but in Mr. Xue's hands, it was so simple. He...hehe, he just shouted."

"Shouted?" Xiao Suzhen's beautiful eyes widened, beautiful and good-looking.

Hanxiang nodded and said seriously: "Mr.

He walked out, looked at Xiao Shitou, smiled, and said softly: "You are very fast. Hehe, go back for a big dinner tonight."

Everyone was dumbstruck, watching helplessly as Xue Poye walked up to Mr. Qingyi, saluted and said, "Xue moved the whole house even slightly. He came out by luck. I wonder if he passed the test?"

After all, Mr. Qingyi is a person in the world. Although he was stunned for a while, he soon woke up, clapped his hands and sighed: "Heroes come from young, Shopkeeper Xue, you are smart and wise. You passed this level easily. I am also convinced."

Take it orally."

"Thank you, sir!" Xue Poye said humbly.

Suddenly someone shouted: "No, this shopkeeper Xue is cheating. He asked others to open the door for him. This... does this count?"

"Of course!" Mr. Qingyi said sternly: "The rules do not state that outsiders are not allowed to open the door. But shopkeeper Xue complied with the rules of the game. He asked people to open the door. This only proves that he can be flexible. This is what a wise man does. As for the

You can cheat, hey, as long as you abide by the rules, you can cheat, but this requires a smart mind."

When Mr. Qingyi said this, everyone was speechless and could only watch Xue Poye become the one to pass the test.

"Who else is going to answer the question?" Mr. Qingyi glanced at Xue Poye appreciatively, then turned to look at everyone, stroking his beard and said: "But this trick has been used by shopkeeper Xue, so you won't be able to imitate others' wisdom."

A burst of restlessness resounded in the crowd, and everyone could only lament that they had not thought of this method. Such a simple and effective method was only thought of by Xue Poye. Now it seems that they can only think of another strange method.dd
