Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 685

Li Teng was really blinded.

This heavy wooden box has a layer of wood on the outside. Through the gaps in the wood, you can see that the inner layer is a metal box.

After removing the outer wooden protective device, the true face of the box was revealed.

It's a big safe.

There are many words written on the wall of the metal box.

There are some words marked in red, which are obviously warnings.

"The mechanism of the box must be broken to open it correctly. If the box is forcibly opened, it will cause a violent explosion and the area within one kilometer will be razed to the ground!"

Seeing this warning, the proprietress Jin Manyu did not dare to forcefully unbox it.

The other seven actors were watching. Their mentality was the same as Li Teng's. The crew did not allow them to open the box, but they did not ask them to protect the box from others.

Then let the boss lady open it up. In this way, they neither violated the rules nor satisfied their curiosity.

But I didn't expect that the box actually had a mechanism and couldn't be opened casually.

The mechanism of the box is actually quite simple.

Just four lines of characters.

Every word is a button.

This means that if the correct button is pressed, the lock on the safe can be opened.

There are seven characters in each line of these lines, four lines in total. The content is: The tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by the dog. Stop and sit in the maple forest to love the evening. How could it be said that after sleeping in the open air and returning home at night, you would be desolate and wandering!

According to the text description below, one word in each line of these four lines is the correct button. Only when all four buttons are pressed correctly can the safe be opened.

But if you press the wrong button three times, the safe will explode, razing an area within a kilometer to the ground!

It seems that blind guessing is definitely not possible. You must find the correct answer.

The puzzles on the boxes turn the entire inn into a puzzle-solving scene.

Everyone was thinking hard and thinking hard, but they really couldn't find any clues.

It feels like four lines of poetry that have nothing to do with each other!

"Boss Wu, you know poetry best. Did you see anything?" No. 8 asked No. 5 Li Teng. No. 8 felt that if anyone could find the answer, it must be No. 5.

"I haven't noticed anything else yet. I only saw that the first, second, and fourth lines are all ancient poems, but the seven characters in the third line are not ancient poems. They seem to be made up casually." Li Teng opened. mouth.

"The first line isn't an ancient poem, right? Only the second line is an ancient poem, and I don't quite understand whether the fourth line is an ancient poem. Anyway, I don't remember this line of poetry." No. 3 spoke.

No. 5 has been showing off his wealth of knowledge in front of the boss lady Jin Manyu. When No. 3 heard that there seemed to be a loophole in No. 5's words, he immediately pointed it out to him, damaging Li Teng's image in the minds of the boss lady Jin Manyu and the audience.

"Strictly speaking, the first line is not an ancient poem. The seven characters in the first line come from "Gu Jin Tan Gui", also known as "Ancient and Modern Laughter History", "Ancient and Modern Laughter" and "Talk Summary", written by Feng Menglong, a novelist of the Ming Dynasty. A collection of notes written by the author.

"The first line of this poem comes from Volume 29: The proverb goes: 'A dragon swims in shallow water and is teased by shrimps; a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs.'

"The fourth line is an ancient poem, from "The Song of the Qin Woman" by Wei Zhuang, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. May I ask where the girl came from? She frowned and swallowed her words first. She turned back to say goodbye to the passer-by. How could she be so desolate and wandering?

"Everyone should know the origin of the second line of the poem, right? Only the third line is not considered an ancient poem."

Li Teng had no choice but to explain it in detail to everyone.

After hearing Li Teng's explanation, everyone present couldn't help but praise him.

In particular, Jin Manyu, a young literary girl, looked at Li Teng like a girl obsessed with her. She was completely impressed by this man.

No. 3 was completely mute.

Who the hell is this person? Do you even remember the origin of such an obscure poem so clearly?

No. 3 wanted to take this opportunity to attack Li Teng, but in the end, he gave Li Teng a chance to show off and even got his own face swollen. It was really a waste of money.

No. 3 couldn't help but reflect: Is the value of his existence just to serve as a background for No. 5?

"You know the origin of these poems so well, can you guess why these poems appear on the box? Maybe this is the key to opening the box." No. 8 said a few words to No. 5.

The actors all have a feeling that this box in the second round may be a key prop to clear the level.

What’s inside matters.

Now they can use the NPC's hand to open the box, but they are stuck by a puzzle.

I can only sigh.

The proprietress Jin Manyu said that for safety reasons, she asked the clerk to carry the box to her bedroom for temporary storage.

Return it to them when everyone leaves.

In fact, it was placed in a secret room beneath her bedroom.

Only she and Li Teng had the key to go down.

The other seven actors were a little unhappy about this, but no one raised any objections.

The boss lady Jin Manyu is an important plot NPC. Unlike the gangsters who are judged as 'monsters', they cannot attack such plot NPCs.

The plot does not require them to protect the box or prevent the boss lady from taking the box.

And it's not night yet. Li Teng doesn't know if he has slept with the landlady, but according to the rules, sleeping with the landlady at night is effective. They still have a chance now, so there is no need to stop the landlady at this time and leave a bad impression for the landlady. impression.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they can't stop it.

Of course, if one of them can sleep with the proprietress Jin Manyu tonight and enter her bedroom, he can replace Li Teng as the owner of the box.

If you can't open the box, that's another story.

The afternoon was boring, and the others didn't have beautiful women to accompany them. They could only imitate the waiters in the store and gather around the table to play dice, drink, and brag.

"Are you so willing to admit defeat? Let No. 5 sleep with the boss's wife tonight and secure a promotion spot?" No. 3 whispered to the others while drinking.

"Haha, what can we do? The boss lady has obviously been fascinated by No. 5. It will be very difficult to win love with a sword at this time. There is almost no chance." No. 7 spoke.

On this issue, No. 7 supports No. 3 and wants to overthrow No. 5, otherwise everyone will have to compete for the remaining two places.

No. 7 felt that No. 8 and No. 2 were hypocritical in this matter. It involved their own interests and actually prevented others from bringing down No. 5. However, he could not express his support for No. 3, so he could only talk about it in No. 3. Sometimes I make a few insinuations.

No. 8 and No. 2 were silent at this time. They were just actors, and they would not be grateful to Li Teng just because Li Teng had 'saved' them before.

The previous opposition to No. 3 was just to create their own persona.

Now that I have drunk some wine, I can pretend to be dizzy. If I don't speak at this time, it will be regarded as supporting No. 3.

"It's not until night, and the rice is not cooked yet. Even if No. 1 has slept with the landlady, we can't say that this matter is a done deal.

Chapter 686

"We still need to find an opportunity to tell the boss lady that No. 5 is a hypocrite and deceives her feelings. I can't say it alone. If all of us say this, the boss lady will most likely believe us and abandon No. 5."

Number Three continued to analyze the situation.

No one else said a word.

After all, there are audience bosses watching!

No. 5 had never done anything that made him look particularly hypocritical, so by just falsely accusing him to the boss's wife, he would appear to be a petty person, which might make the audience's bosses have a bad impression of him, which would be more than worth the loss.

In this matter, everyone considers their own interests, analyzes the pros and cons, and has different positions in their hearts.

But there is one position that is relatively consistent.

They just don’t want one of the three promotion places to be locked up by a certain actor, causing them to only fight for the remaining two promotion places.

No. 3's instigation had no effect.

The main reason is that they can't find a starting point to defeat No. 5 at the moment.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

A situation arises that is enough for them to turn the situation around.

There was a rumbling sound outside the inn door.

Several desert warships appeared around the inn, and then dozens of soldiers surrounded a figure who looked like a general. They knocked on the door of the inn and entered the inn despite the wind and sand.

The general is more than two meters long, as strong as an ox, with a green helmet and green armor, and a heroic appearance. He also wears a green general's hat on his head.

The dozens of soldiers under his command are all two meters long, tall and strong, with murderous looks. They wear heavy helmets and armor, and hold heavy shields and machetes. At first glance, they look like veterans who have killed countless people.

After entering the door, they all stood in two rows along the wall.

"Ah! Husband, why are you back?" The proprietress Jin Manyu came up to him, trying hard to hide the panic on her face and pretending to be an expression of surprise.

"I have been stationed in the border town for more than half a year, and the war has relaxed a little now, so I came home to have a look! Hahahaha! My beauty is even more beautiful now!

"Hey! Why are there so many pretty boys in the store? You didn't do anything with them behind my back, did you?"

The general hugged Jin Manyu, and then looked at the seven actors here...now eight with some displeasure.

Everyone is so handsome, where are the pretty boys partying?

"How is that possible? We are so in love, no matter how lonely the sandbank is, I will keep my innocence for you!" Jin Manyu quickly answered the general.

"Really? You can't lie to me. If you smell manly, I can smell it!" The general pretended to have a stern expression.

"Absolutely impossible! Only feminine, no masculine!" Jin Manyu panicked even more, her face still holding on tight.

Li Teng's smell has definitely not dissipated. If the general smells it, he will be in big trouble.

We have to think of a way.

"General! I know what Madam is having an affair with!" No. 3 suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly, with a proud look on his face.

The other actors have different expressions.

No one expected that the plot would suddenly turn around like this.

It was said to be the landlady, so you should have thought that this inn also has a boss!

The boss is actually a general guarding the border town!

No. 3 obviously wanted to expose No. 5 and Jin Manyu on the spot. Now No. 5 was in big trouble!

They were happy to watch the excitement.

"Who is having an affair with Madam!?"

After the general heard what No. 3 said, Lei Lei was furious. He held down the long knife on his waist and walked over to this side.

Several tough soldiers unsheathed their swords and followed closely.

This murderous aura put the eight proven actors to shame.

The difference in numbers between the two sides was too big. If there was a fight, the eight actors would not be able to match the dozens of heavily armored and long-sword soldiers, and they would be chopped into pieces in minutes.

"It's him! He slept with your wife! Your wife definitely smells like him!" No. 3 pointed to No. 5 Li Teng.

This is a desperate move!

"Did you cuckold me!?" The general held his official hat and glared at No. 5 Li Teng.

The inn suddenly became extremely quiet.

Everyone looked at Li Teng.

Number Three was extremely proud.

Looking at No. 5 Li Teng, what will you do next?

Prepare to be hacked to death!

Other actors also looked sympathetically at Li Teng.

Li Teng had a smooth journey and slept with the boss's wife. He thought he was guaranteed a promotion spot!

Unexpectedly, the plot dug a hole for him here!

The boss is back! Whoever sleeps with the boss lady will be in bad luck!

"Are you stupid? He said he is who he is? A grown man and a battle-hardened general, don't you have your own judgment? You haven't made any progress after being out for more than half a year?" Jin Manyu suddenly rushed over and stopped Li In front of Teng, he reprimanded the general.

"Madam is absolutely right! I was almost misled by a villain! This matter must be judged by me personally!" The general patted his head with an expression of sudden realization.

Number Three couldn't help but widen his eyes... Is this general too afraid of his wife? Your wife has already cheated on you, but you still say, "Madam, what you said is absolutely true"?

"Who slept with my wife? Stand up! I'll spare your life! Otherwise, I'll pull her out and tie her to a stone pillar outside and be blown into dried meat by the wind!" The general glanced around the eight actors.

Jin Manyu winked at a waiter. The waiter pretended to clear away the teacups on the table, but secretly took out a bottle of strange-smelling perfume and sprayed it on Jin Manyu. When he walked behind No. 3, he secretly walked behind No. 3. Sprayed.

His movements were extremely concealed, and no one present noticed them.

"Didn't you say you could smell it? Wouldn't you know it just by smelling it?" Jin Manyu said a few words to the general slowly and calmly.

This number three is really hateful! If she actually exposed her affair with Li Teng in front of the general, then don't blame me for being cruel!

"Yes! Madam is absolutely right! Won't I know if I smell it?" The general woke up from a dream and quickly went to Jin Manyu and smelled it.

Then he smelled the eight actors one by one.

"Is this a dog? Can you smell this smell?" No. 3 couldn't help complaining in his mind.

Fortunately, he has done nothing wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. No matter what, it is impossible for the landlady to smell him, right?

"That's the smell! The smell of a stinky man! Stand up for me! Tell me the truth! Did you sleep with my wife!?" After the general smelled No. 3, he immediately found a familiar feeling. Thunderbolt Angry, he stretched out his hand and picked up No. 3 from his seat like a hawk catching a chicken.

"How is that possible?" No. 3 couldn't help but be shocked. Isn't this general's nose too weak? How could the landlady smell like him?
