"Three points Wei Shu Wu!"

This is a pair that is very impressive in the depths of Xue Poye's memory. Because of this pair in the previous life, the literary world caused a shock. "Bitter, greed, hatred and ignorance" came out, and the literati felt that this second couplet was already considered absolute. I am afraid that there will not be a better second couplet, and the turmoil in the literary world has finally subsided.

Xue Poye did not expect such a pair to be asked by Mr. Qingyi on such an occasion today, it seems that his luck is really good, so the second line of "Wan Suo, Greed, Anger and Idiot" quickly spit out from his mouth .

Mr. Qing Yi was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect that Xue Poye would come up with the next couplet without too much thinking, and he couldn't help but softly chant: "Wan Suffering, Greed, Anger and Ignorance, Wan Suffering, Greed, Anger and Ignorance...!"

"Okay!" A gentleman watching by the side pondered for a while, and couldn't help clapping his hands and shouting.

Xue Poye looked at Mr. Qingyi with a smile, and said slowly: "Mr. Qingyi, you are a gentleman in this test. If you don't pass it, it all depends on your decision. If Xue's next couplet is still interesting, I hope Mr. Qingyi will let you know." Down."

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

Xue Poye bowed and breathed a sigh of relief. This Mr. Qingyi didn't ask whether the article was a pair, but by mistake, Xue Poye passed this test.

Under the guidance of the bodyguard, Xue Poye walked to the place where passers gathered. There were only one or two hundred candidates who were eliminated from this test, but less than thirty people passed this test and entered the second test. off the second question.

After all the candidates from the fourteen teams had finished answering the questions, a total of twenty-eight people had passed this pass, and the rest were all dismissed.

Xue Poye looked at Xiao Shitou and saw that the little guy was standing in the corner of the room with his arms folded, looking calm and composed, but he didn't need to worry, so he smiled and nodded, and Xiao Shitou made a grimace in return.

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

All of them relaxed, ready for the second question.

Those Confucian scholars gathered together, opened the iron box, and muttered something, until Mr. Qingyi waved to the head of the escort, and the head of the escort quickly walked over, Mr. Qingyi whispered a few words, the escort Toulian claimed yes, and immediately ran back, clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, please follow me to the back house!"

"Go to the back room?"

"Isn't there nothing in the back house?"

"Yes, there is another room there. I heard that anyone who is naughty or violates the school rules in the academy will be expelled to the back room and locked in the room for punishment."

"Yes, yes, there is such a thing, this Baili Academy is very strict."

Everyone was discussing, but seeing that the escort had already started to walk towards the side door, they didn't dare to delay, and followed behind, Xue Poye naturally followed, looked back, and saw that all the Hongru were also coming this way, Even Little Stone followed in the crowd.

The back 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 delicate.

However, those who are familiar with the situation of the academy know that this place is rarely visited by people, and although this room looks exquisite, no one wants to approach it.

The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and this academy naturally has its rules. Once some of the more important rules of the academy are violated, students who make mistakes will be shut up in this small room to think about their mistakes behind closed doors.

So as soon as they came to this place, many people were very puzzled, not knowing what kind of problem Mr. Chen Yin locked in the box.

Xue Poye had his hands behind his back, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was also a little puzzled. Seeing the candidates looking at me and I looking at you, it seemed that everyone was very disturbed.

"Everyone!" Mr. Qing Yi stepped out of the crowd, walked to the side of the bamboo house, stroked his beard and said, "Many of you must know that this is the room used by Baili Academy to punish students who make mistakes. It is useless on weekdays, so the room It was empty inside, and there was nothing. This room is used to reflect on mistakes and calm people's hearts, so even the windows are not opened, and all sides are closed." He coughed, paused, and saw that everyone was listening to him carefully , nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Mr. Chen Yin's second question is about this empty room."

The surrounding people were even more strange, and someone had already asked: "Excuse me, sir, what is the connection between Mr. Chen Yin's question and the bamboo house?"

Mr. Qingyi glanced at the twenty-eight examinees present, and even looked at Xue Poye specially, before slowly saying: "Actually, this question is very simple to say, but it is very difficult to do it." After pondering slightly, he finally said : "This question is a test of the wisdom of all the talents. After the question comes out, whoever thinks of the answer, just stand up and answer. Those who can answer correctly will pass the test. But there is a rule, the answer of the first answer, the answer of the next The person who answered can no longer use it, can you hear it clearly?"

"Understood!" Everyone replied.

Immediately someone asked: "Could it be that there are many answers to the question given by Mr. Chen Yin?"

Mr. Qingyi laughed and said: "There are many answers, rather there are many ways, it depends on whether you have the wisdom to think of it." After coughing, he finally said: "Okay, everyone, wait, if you lock yourself in the room, Close the door tightly, without allowing 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 below.

No one wants to share their thoughts with others, otherwise they will be the first to speak out, and they will not be able to speak out. The most important thing is that this problem is really tricky. Although the condition seems simple, this condition restricts too many possibilities.

"Can you touch the clothes and shoes on your body?"

"No!" Mr. Qingyi shook his head and said, "Shoes and clothes are belongings of the body, so they cannot be touched."

"Sir, do you mean that you can't even touch the latch with your teeth?" After holding back for a long time, someone finally asked again.

Mr. Qing Yi nodded, with a hint of a smile, the old guy actually joked: "Unless you want to say that the teeth are not yours, or... hehe, knock the front teeth down...!"

There was a burst of laughter, but after the laugh, everyone was still desperately thinking about what to do.

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

After a long time, only one person went out to answer an answer, and even if he was eliminated, because that kind of answer made people pick out countless problems, that guy had no choice but to withdraw from the competition.

Xue Poye rubbed his nose, suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes behind him, looked back, but didn't know when Xiaoshi was standing behind him.

His eyes lit up suddenly, thinking of something, he whispered a few words to Xiao Shitou in his ear, Xiao Shitou was stunned for a moment, then laughed in a low voice: "Master, you are really smart, I know."

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

"Oh!" Mr. Qingyi's hostility towards Xue Poye has been greatly reduced because of Xue Poye's second couplet just now, and he has a heart of appreciation, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ugly words are up front, if the words are wrong, you are caught out of the loopholes, and violated the rules, but if you want to withdraw from the competition, you have to think twice."

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

There was a burst of surprise all around.

In fact, everyone is also resentful in their hearts. Mr. Chen Yin's question is really embarrassing. How can he open the door if his whole body does not touch any part of the bamboo house? How can he get out if the door is not opened

Shopkeeper Xue seems to be full of confidence. Could it be that there is some magical skill? In other words, shopkeeper Xue has learned the ability to walk through walls? But even if he could get out through the wall, wouldn't his body still touch the wall of the house, which would be considered a violation of the rules.

Mr. Qing Yi pondered for a while, and ordered: "Open the bamboo door and let shopkeeper Xue go in!"

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

Mr. Qingyi signaled the escort to close the bamboo door tightly, so the whole room was sealed off on all sides without a single exit. The examinees around were curious and excited, wanting to know what method Xue Poye would use to get out of this tightly closed place. Come out of the bamboo house with no exit.

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

He first looked around, and saw that the room was sealed tightly. Even if he was allowed to do it, it would be difficult for ordinary weak scholars to go out. What's more, his whole body, including clothes, shoes and socks, could not touch any part of the room. This is really a difficult question.

It's winter, Xiao Suzhen is sitting in her boudoir, looking at the banana tree outside, her face is anxious.

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

There was a snowman piled up a few days ago outside the house, Han Xiang ran past the snowman, saw Xiao Suzhen standing in front of the door looking at her nervously, so she slowed down her pace, showing a dejected look on her face.

"Damn girl, hurry up and come in!" Xiao Suzhen urged, as if glaring at Hanxiang.

Hanxiang walked to the door, took a look at Xiao Suzhen, sighed, and said, "Is there any good news? What are you urging, it's just to let you down earlier."

Shocked, Xiao Suzhen pulled Hanxiang into the room, closed the door, and said softly, "You... what did you say? Disappointed? Why should I be disappointed?"

Hanxiang pouted and said: "Here is a girl, who inquires for you in winter, running around, you don't ask me if I am cold, just ask these, ah...my life is so miserable...! "

Xiao Suzhen stomped her feet, stretched out her hand to gently grab her fragrant pink ears, and said softly: "Little girl, you... are you making fun of me? See if I don't grab your ears."

Hanxiang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, miss, I was wrong, you let me go, do you still want to hear the news?"

Xiao Suzhen let go of her hand, glared at her, then sat down beside her, and asked in a low voice: "What...what's the matter?" There was a bit of worry in her voice.

"Master Xue was the last one to register for the first level yesterday." Han Xiang poured a cup of hot tea from the pot on the table, took a big sip, and patted her chest, feeling indescribably comfortable.

Xiao Suzhen clenched her little pink fist and asked, "Then he... has he passed?"

Han Xiang giggled and said: "Miss, that is a stone lion of two hundred catties, not everyone can move it. Many people scared away when they saw the stone lion, but not many pass the test."

Xiao Suzhen's pretty face was tense, and she tremblingly said: "Then... Then he didn't pass the test?"

Seeing that Xiao Suzhen was really nervous, Han Xiang stopped teasing her and said with a smile: "But Mr. Xue is not an ordinary person, but the two hundred catty stone lion has moved. I heard that the stone lion was on Mr. Xue's side. In his hand, like a feather, Mr. Xue moved it easily."

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

But she quickly 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 topics. The first topic is a question in the literary world, but I have inquired about Mr. Xue's topic."

"Xue Lang... Well, he has outstanding talent, and the problem of literary skills can't be hard for him." Xiao Suzhen said softly.

"It's a pair." Hanxiang scratched his ear and thought for a while, then said: "Mr. Qing Yi gave him a pair, the first couplet is 'three points of Wei, Shu and Wu', everyone said it was extremely difficult to get right Son, even if you are knowledgeable, I'm afraid you won't be able to match it."

Xiao Suzhen pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence, and there is no specified second line, just to understand the meaning, and it is just a second line with a unified artistic conception."

"Miss, have you come up with a couplet yet?"

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

Hanxiang said: "Young Master Xue is right about 'Wan Suffering, Greed, Anger and Idiot'!"

"Bitterness, greed, hatred and ignorance!" Xiao Suzhen chanted softly, and said quietly: "The artistic conception of his second couplet is a bit higher than my 'Nine Lights Sun, Moon and Stars'. He...he is very good."

"That's right, many people praised Mr. Xue for being good, even those gentlemen praised him." Hanxiang said excitedly: "This round has eliminated more than a hundred people, leaving only twenty people. "

Xiao Suzhen nodded and said, "Didn't you say there is a second question? What is the second question?"

Hanxiang giggled and said: "This second question is very rare. This question was asked by the master to let those students enter the back dormitory of Baili Academy, close the door tightly, and then prevent them from Any part of the body, including clothes, shoes and socks, can touch any part of the room, and under these conditions, people can come out of the room."

Xiao Suzhen frowned, thought for a while, and said angrily: "Father, isn't this embarrassing? How... how is this possible?"

Hanxiang blinked her eyes, and asked: "Miss, you are ice and snow smart, and there is nothing you can do?"

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 is not opened, how can I get out? I...!" She After thinking about it again, he finally shook his head and said, "I have no choice, I have to ask my father later, how can I get out of this."

Han Xiang chuckled and said: "You have nothing to do, but Mr. Xue has something to do."

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

Hanxiang smiled and said: "Miss, you don't admit that you like Mr. Xue, but when did you forget him in your heart? When you heard that he passed the test, you were so happy, hey...!"

"Damn girl, don't talk nonsense, how did he pass the test?" Xiao Suzhen was happy and curious, happy that her lover finally passed the test, curious about such a difficult question, how did Xue Poye solve it? It's open.

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

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

Hanxiang nodded seriously and said: "Mr. Xue is in an empty room, the door is closed. Everyone is waiting for him, wanting to see how he can get out. After waiting for a while, he heard Mr. Xue shouting, 'Little Shitou, come and open the door for the master', a teenage boy went up and opened the door, and Mr. Xue came out."

Xiao Suzhen was stunned, speechless.

Xue Poye calmly walked out of the bamboo house, smiled at Xiao Shitou, and said softly: "Your speed is really fast, hehe, go back to have a big meal tonight."

Everyone was also stupefied, watching Xue Poye walk up to Mr. Qingyi, gave a salute and said, "Xue moved the whole body of the room slightly up and down, and got out by luck, I wonder if he passed the test?"

After all, Mr. Qingyi is a person in the ultimate world. Although he was stunned for a while, he soon came to his senses, clapped his hands and sighed: "Heroes are young, shopkeeper Xue, you are smart and wise. You have passed this level easily, and the old man is also convinced." Take it orally."

"Sir, I'm overwhelmed!" Xue Poye said humbly.

Suddenly someone shouted: "No, this shopkeeper Xue is cheating, he asked someone else to open the door for him, so... this also counts?"

"Of course!" Mr. Qing Yi said solemnly: "In the rules, there is no statement that outsiders are not allowed to open the door, but shopkeeper Xue obeyed the rules of the game, and he asked someone to open the door, which can only prove that he can be flexible. This is what a wise man does. To cheat, hehe, as long as you follow the rules, you can cheat, but you need a smart brain to do it."

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

"Who else will answer the question?" Mr. Qingyi glanced at Xue Poye appreciatively, then turned to look at the crowd, stroked his beard and said, "But this trick has already been used by shopkeeper Xue, so you won't be able to catch up with others."

A burst of restlessness resounded in the crowd, and everyone could only sigh to themselves that they hadn't thought of this method. Xue Poye was the first to think of such a simple and effective method. Now it seems that they can only think of other strange methods.
