How to break into a Chinese book

No one has ever said that the player can only get one guide in the city of the heroine.

Standing at the gate of the city, Shen Yi raised the token with the words "Lu Yin" written on it in his hand, and the road in front of him suddenly became clear.

The weeds and wasteland turned into phantoms, gradually drifting away and fading away, and three different paths appeared in front of Shen Yi.

The road on the left leads to a city farther away, the road in the middle is winding and long, and the end of the road seems to be a low mountain, and the road on the far right seems to be the closest.

There are villages on the roadside, and a river with turbulent waves.

As long as one of the players in each group obtains the guide, both of them can lead to the next level at the same time.

So after Shen Yi got the guide, he quickly sent a message to Lin Hui in the system, asking him to go out of the city and meet at the gate of the city.

After a while, Lin Hui hurried over. He was pleasantly surprised by the completely different scene outside the city gate, but what was even more surprising was that Shen Yi did not give up being with him.

He was a little grateful and said, "I thought you would choose to be with Jiang Yan after you got the guide."

Shen Yi waved his hand: "That's the reward that the city lord gave you two for completing the task of "The Peacock Flies Southeast". It's not for me."

"So we are still in one group." He reminded Lin Hui, "Jiang Yan should also get the guide, right? We have to make a choice quickly, and we have to be one step ahead of them."

Lin Hui nodded and pointed to the one on the far right: "This road seems to be the closest, why don't you go here?"

The three roads lead to three directions, which should mean that they will meet Qu Yuan, Cao Cao and Tao Yuanming in three different places.

If they could move faster and find two of them first, they would be sure to win.

Shen Yi didn't hesitate, and walked with Lin Hui to the nearest path on the right.

Passing a bamboo forest, sparse villages began to come into view.

But what is more eye-catching is the rushing river on the other side that can't be seen at a glance.

When the two came to the river, they were thinking of going to the thatched hut not far away to inquire about the situation, when they saw a person standing on a boulder by the river.

He has white hair and long beard, and his clothes are fluttering in the wind. He stands by the river and looks into the distance, not knowing what he is thinking.

Lin Hui frowned: "Standing by the river is a bit like..."

"Qu Yuan." Shen Yi took his words.

The two approached quietly, and they heard something muttering in the mouth: "Long breath to cover up tears, mourning for the hardships of people's lives. Although Yu is good at repairing, I will take care of him, and I will replace him at night..."

It's "Li Sao"!

After such twists and turns, they finally saw one of the mission targets, and both of them were somewhat excited.

Lin Hui hurriedly stepped forward to greet Qu Yuan: "Hello, sir!"

Qu Yuan turned his head, with a sad expression on his face, stared at the two for a long time, did not speak, and continued to chant to Jiang.

Lin Hui boldly said: "Sir! Excuse me, we would like to ask you for something, it should be a badge..."

Qu Yuan finally turned his head, frowned and looked at the two of them, and sighed: "I'm so depressed!"

"We can understand Mr.'s concern for the country and the people, but we need your help. May I ask for that badge..."

Before Lin Hui finished speaking, Qu Yuan interrupted him again: "I'm so depressed!"

It seems that only such a sentence can be said.

Lin Hui was a little helpless, and was about to continue explaining his purpose when Shen Yi suddenly stopped him.

He took a step forward and bowed to Qu Yuan: "Sir, are you depressed?"

Qu Yuan nodded: "I'm depressed!"

Shen Yi curled his lips into a smile: "If you're depressed, why don't you eat something sweet?"

Lin Hui:? ? ?

Lin Hui knew that Shen Yi had shown off his culinary skills in these few games, which not only attracted a wave of fans, but even NPCs were overwhelmed by his food.

But what he didn't expect was that Qu Yuan, an NPC who could only say "I'm depressed in my heart", was squatting with Shen Yi in the kitchen of the thatched cottage at this time.

Not at all businesslike, pointing to the zong leaf in Shen Yi's hand and asking: "You mean to wrap glutinous rice in this leaf? Then put red dates and bean paste on it?"

"That's right." Shen Yi nodded, and the movements under his hands were quick.

The glutinous rice with clear grains is put into the funnel-shaped zongzi leaves, two sweet jujubes are put in, and a spoonful of red bean paste is added. The zongzi is quickly tied up with a string, and a delicate zongzi is formed.

"You may not know much about it yourself, but this zongzi was created by later generations to commemorate Mr. Qu Yuan." Shen Yi explained, "In the north, there are mostly sweet zongzi, red dates, bean paste and soft glutinous rice, which taste sweet. Most of them in the south It is a salty rice dumpling, with various meat fillings and salted egg yolks, which are delicious and unique.”

Qu Yuan obviously didn't believe it: "How can rice wrapped in this leaf be so delicious?"

However an hour later.

When the rice dumplings are out of the pot, the fresh aroma of rice dumplings drifts to the whole thatched cottage with the water vapor, and there is a sweet smell of red dates mixed in with the rice dumplings.

Shen Yi took two of them out with chopsticks. The green zongzi leaves had been boiled and turned somewhat dark in color. The aroma of the leaves permeated into the glutinous rice, adding a unique aroma to the zongzi stuffing.

The zongzi was still hot, so Shen Yi carefully untied the string, unfolded the zongzi leaves, and the sweet and soft glutinous rice stuffing, which was dyed reddish brown with bean paste and red dates, rolled onto the plate.

Separate them with chopsticks, the red dates are almost integrated with the bean paste, boiled to a sticky and soft state, and it looks sweet.

Qu Yuan swallowed his saliva and raised his chopsticks: "Can I eat now?"

"Wait." Shen Yi took out the honey juice prepared in advance, poured the light yellow honey water evenly on the rice dumplings, and the aroma of honey came along with the steaming heat.

Now even Lin Hui couldn't hold back his saliva: "I didn't like sweet rice dumplings before, but this one you made is so delicious..."

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone has a share."

Qu Yuan cooked five zongzi in a row, and he didn't even have the time to talk to the two of them.

Lin Hui wanted to grab the second one to eat, but Qu Yuan stared back at him fiercely.

He had to put down his chopsticks.

Shen Yi quickly struck while the iron was hot: "I wonder if Mr. Satisfied with this food called Zongzi?"

"Satisfied and satisfied! It's so delicious!" Qu Yuan couldn't stop eating.

"Can you give us the badge, sir?"

Qu Yuan frowned, as if he was thinking about some important national affairs, he stared at Shen Yi for a while: "I can give it to you, but... you said there is another kind of salty rice dumpling, when will I make it?"

"If sir can give us badges, I'll do it right away."

Qu Yuan sighed, pointed to the riverside and said, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, you have to get it yourself."

Ding--

The mechanical sound of the system sounded, and a row of five by five red squares suddenly appeared on the ground at the entrance of the thatched cottage.

[Please select 100 lines from the 5 five-character poems, and fill them in the grid in order, so that they are the same lines regardless of whether they are horizontal or vertical. 】

There are a hundred five-character poems floating in the void. Just click on any one of them to see the content of the poem.

Lin Hui was stunned, looking at the 25 squares on the ground: "Is this a crossword puzzle?"

"Do you need to complete this game to get the badge?"

Shen Yi kept opening a hundred poems to check.

Most of them are unfamiliar poems, and it is simply impossible to select five lines from a hundred poems that are the same regardless of whether they are read horizontally or counted.

This is much harder than Sudoku.

Lin Hui and Shen Yi thought of going together. He carefully studied the squares on the ground and filled in the numbers: "It's the same when you read it horizontally and vertically... That means, this is actually a symmetrical matrix!"

Shen Yi looked at the numbers he marked in the grid, and instantly understood.

01, 02, 03, 04, 05

02, 06, 07, 08, 09

03, 07, 10, 11, 12

04, 08, 11, 13, 14

05, 09, 12, 14, 15

The poems are the same when read horizontally and vertically. If each number represents a Chinese character, then in the 25 squares, it is enough to fill in [-] Chinese characters in the order marked.

But the row and column marked 12345, and the next 26789 and the remaining three rows and three columns must all come from the verses in the one hundred five-character poems.

Lin Hui took a branch from the ground to write and draw: "We need to find the verse 12345 first, and then every word in this verse must have a corresponding verse as the beginning."

Shen Yi also nodded: "Then let's find the Chinese character corresponding to the number 1 first."

The two quickly searched through the hundred poems that were selected.

They found that the word "wind" appeared most at the beginning of the poem.

There is Yu Shinan's work "Spring Night" in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties: frightened birds line up in forests, and wind and flowers come across the water.

There is "Fenghe Chunri Pool Terrace" written by Yuan Wanqing in the Tang Dynasty: Sun Shadow Flying Flower Hall, Fengwen Jicao Pond.

"Making the Wind" written by Wang Zhou of the Tang Dynasty: The wind rises and reaches thousands of miles, and the wind returns to turn around.

"Returning Beijing as a Farewell" by Lu Zhaolin in the Tang Dynasty: Fengyue Qingjiang night, mountains and rivers and white clouds.

There are also Wang Bo's "Four Poems to Li Fourteen": Fengyan tunes the guizhen, and the moon diameter draws the rattan cup.

A total of five poems have lines beginning with the word "wind", and one of them contains two lines, that is to say, a total of six lines.

Lin Hui suggested: "If we choose the word 'wind' as the No. 1 verse, the probability will be higher."

Shen Yi also stared at a few lines of the poem: "Then which line shall we choose?"

"How about trying [Feng Hua Ge Shui Lai] first? The three words 'Feng Hua Shui' are relatively common in poems."

The two immediately clicked on this poem.

Ding.

Among the 25 spaces, the first row horizontally and the first column vertically are immediately filled with this poem.

The next step is to choose a poem that starts with a flower.

The two were about to rummage through a hundred poems when they suddenly found Qu Yuan pointing at their backs and laughing excitedly: "Here we come! We come!"

Shen Yi turned his head in wonder, and happened to meet Jiang Yan's eyes.

This is... too small, right?

Three paths, why did they choose the same one?

Or did they already get the badges of Cao Cao and Tao Yuanming?

Sun Feiyu just answered Shen Yi's question: "Isn't this a coincidence? We just chose a road at random, and we also ran into you?!"

Before Shen Yi could answer, Qu Yuan's laughter came again: "I just like the competition!"

"There is only one badge. If you two meet, naturally you want to snatch it." Qu Yuan stroked his beard, "Let me think about how to snatch it..."

"Not like this!"

Qu Yuan smiled and pointed at Jiang Yan and the two: "How about you also join in this game of filling in poems?"

Ding--

[Two groups of players are asked to complete the crossword puzzle together. One group has one sentence. When one group fails to complete the next sentence, the system will randomly select a team member and hand it over to the NPC for punishment. 】

[Currently the first sentence has been filled in, please Shen Yi and Lin Hui to fill in the second sentence. 】

Even Sun Feiyu knew that under this kind of rules, it would be more and more difficult to fill in.

He couldn't help protesting: "They have already filled in the first sentence, can't we fill in the second sentence?"

Qu Yuan squinted his eyes dangerously: "You want to question me?"

Sun Feiyu had no choice but to shut up honestly.

Jiang Yan, who has been silent all this time, looked at the crossword rules carefully, as if he had already expected the ending: "What is the punishment?"

Qu Yuan hooked his lips, looked at the torrential river and recited: "Long breath to cover up tears..."

Sun Feiyu whispered: "Could it be that we are going to be thrown into the river?"

Qu Yuan turned his head and smiled at him sadly: "Silly boy, throwing yourself into the river is no punishment."

"I don't think it's better..."

"Wrap you into rice dumplings."
