Heaven Helps the Worthy

When Si Wuya saw the valiant Li Yunzheng, he asked, "Are you Li Yunzheng?"

A hint of pride could be seen on Li Yunzheng's face as he said, "Yes. Your student, Li Yunzheng, grew up in the royal palace. I've read a few superficial poems and books. I have some insights and achievements in the areas of astronomy and geography. I heard from grandmaster that teacher is wise and knowledgeable and that you're the only one who's qualified to be my teacher."

Although Li Yunzheng was speaking the truth, it did not sound like it when one listened to it.

Si Wuya brought out the difficult riddles he had prepared from his sleeve and handed them to Li Yunzheng. Then, he said, "It's said that preaching comes before teaching. These riddles were left behind by your grandmaster. Take them with you. After you've solved them, you can come and acknowledge me as your teacher. I'll give you half a month to solve the riddles."
