Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 214 Sphinx
After Li Cha left, Jiang Ziya alone digested the amazing news that Li Cha brought him.

Randomly, took out a pen and paper, and recorded the content of today's conversation with Li Cha in detail.

Whether he told Li Cha, Li Cha told him, or Li Cha's reaction after he got part of the truth, they all wrote down word for word.

He needs to remind that mysterious ancestor so that he can be prepared.

It took Jiang Ziya a whole day to finish writing the letter, and then sent it to Ghost Valley through their own means.

For the next few days, Li Cha didn't bother Jiang Ziya anymore, but played with Xiao Xiao'er to his heart's content.

Don't look at Xiao Xiao'er who has never seen his father since he was born, but Xiao Xiao'er, who grew up listening to his father's miraculous stories, does not recognize his father at all.Wrapping around Li Cha all day, let Li Cha tell him stories.

No, Xiao Xiao'er is pestering Li Cha to tell him the story of how he led the soldiers to fight.

"Xiao Xiao'er, how many times have you heard the stories of your father? I still want to hear them. Can my father tell you a different story today?"

Li Cha hugged Xiao Xiao'er, nodded his little nose, and said with a smile.

"Okay, what kind of story will father tell Xiao Xiao'er today?"

"Then Xiao Xiaoer guesses a riddle first, okay?"

Li Cha said with a smile.

"Ah? Isn't it telling a story? Why did it become a riddle again?"

Xiao Xiaoer pouted, expressing that she only wanted to listen to the story.

"After this riddle comes the story."

Li Cha teased Xiao Xiaoer and said.

"Okay then, my lord father, tell me quickly. Xiao'er is listening."

Xiao Xiaoer replied.

"Xiao Xiaoer, do you know what animal it is that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three legs at night?"

Li Cha asked with a smile.

"Uh, let me think about it. It walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night. What kind of animal is this?"

Xiao Xiaoer muttered over and over again, thinking about this question over and over again.

For Xiao Xiaoer's performance.As a father, Li Cha was very satisfied.

At least Xiao Xiao'er thought about it seriously, and didn't say that she didn't know the question as soon as she heard it.

But Xiao Xiaoer is still a child, after a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he gave up.

He raised his little head and said to Li Cha:
"Father, Xiao'er really can't figure it out. It's true that there are animals that walk on four legs in the morning, and there are also animals that walk on two legs, but Xiao'er has never known that there are animals that walk on three legs, so Xiao'er can only say I no longer know."

Xiao Xiaoer's answer is quite reasonable.

"If Xiao Xiao'er answers like that, she will be eaten by that monster."

Li Cha said to scare Xiao Xiaoer.

"No way, Xiao'er is so powerful that he is not afraid of any monsters. Besides, Father is the most powerful, so he will definitely be able to protect Xiao'er and mother well. Isn't it?"

Xiao Xiao'er was not afraid, but looked at Li Cha with admiration.

"Hahaha, Xiao Xiao'er is awesome. Father will protect you, but Xiao Xiao'er has to practice hard, and will protect your mother with father in the future, okay?"

Li Cha is quite satisfied with this son.

"Well, Xiao'er will. Because when Xiao'er grows up, father and mother will grow old, and Xiao'er will be needed to protect you."

Xiao Xiaoer replied firmly.

"Hahaha, little Xiao'er is the best. Then let's continue with the story."

"Once upon a time, there was such a monster. It was like a huge lion with sharp poisonous claws. The black wings on its back could cover the sky, but its head was a beautiful woman. It thought itself to be this monster. The smartest in the world."

"It is lying on a cliff road, and its favorite thing to do is to ask passers-by to guess riddles. The riddle that my father said just now is one of the riddles that the monster asked passers-by to guess."

"And the passers-by are the same as Xiao Xiao'er. No one can guess it. Anyone who can't guess it will be eaten by this monster."

"Until one day, a young man named Oedipus passed by this cliff, and the monster asked him: What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three legs in the evening? If you guessed right, I will let you go."

"The young man Oedipus is very clever, because he knows that there are no three-legged animals in this world. So, he thought that the third leg must have some special meaning."

"Not long after, Oedipus had a flash of inspiration and thought of the answer."

"He said to the monster, this animal is a man. In the morning, when a child, a man crawls on all fours. At noon, when he grows up, he walks on two legs. At night, when he is old, Going on crutches, it looks like she's walking on three legs."

"Seeing such a difficult riddle was answered correctly by Oedipus, this monster felt that his wisdom was not as good as that of the young Oedipus, so he was ashamed and jumped off the cliff to commit suicide."

Li Cha finished telling Xiao Xiao'er the story with a light smile.

"Wow, this Oedipus is so powerful, why didn't Xiao'er think of it."

Xiao Xiao'er clapped her hands in Li Cha's arms, expressing her admiration for Oedipus.

"Does Xiao Xiao'er know what this monster is?"

Li Cha then asked Xiao Xiaoer again.

"Xiao'er doesn't know, but Xiao'er has seen this monster before, but it has been squatting there, motionless, and never asked Xiao'er to guess the riddle. But it is useless to ask Xiao'er to guess the riddle now, Xiao'er I know the answer."

Xiao Xiaoer replied to Li Cha with a smile.

"You little clever ghost, it's just a big rock now, of course you won't move and can't speak when lying there."

"After the monster jumped off the cliff, he didn't fall to his death. He just broke his wings and broke his face."

"Although it didn't die, it didn't have the face to see anyone again. It just lay there without moving, and finally turned into a big rock."

"Now Xiao Xiao'er knows who the monster in the father's story is?"

Li Cha asked again.

"Wow, I see. Father is talking about the big lion statue next to the pyramid. The Egyptians call him the Sphinx, right?"

Xiao Xiaoer said excitedly.

"By the way, little Xiao'er is smart."

Li Cha stroked Xiao Xiao'er's head gently, and praised Xiao Xiao'er.

"But father, don't you have a lot of Sphinxes?"

While Xiao Xiaoer was asking Li Cha, she shook her head, trying to get rid of Li Cha's big hand.

"Why would Xiao'er ask such a question? There's only one Sphinx, so why are there so many?"

Li Cha replied with a smile.

"That's not right. Father's story is wrong. The big lion outside is not a Sphinx at all. The real Sphinx didn't break its wings or face."

Xiao Xiaoer shook her head and said.

"Ah? Why did Xiao'er say that?"

Now it was Li Cha's turn to be surprised.

"Because Xiao'er has seen a real sphinx. It's in the place where we first met, as long as you walk in, you can see it."

"Although it lay there motionless, it was exactly as my father had said. It had the body of a huge lion, sharp poisonous claws, two huge black wings, and a woman's face."

Xiao Xiaoer said to Li Cha.

"Xiao Xiaoer, what you said is true?"

Li Cha was really surprised this time.Sphinx actually lived in the pyramids of Egypt?
