The old man can speak and speak clearly, it must be because there will always be people here.
And where is this place
It's a cave!
How many years have passed since someone came last time? I'm afraid it will go directly back to the ancient times.
So, who did he communicate with during this time
How many years did he live
There are still many questions.
It's just that, Lu Yu knew he could never ask.
He smiled softly and said, "I just wanted to ask, how many floors are there in this cave? Go to the bottom, what is there? What can we get? What can we lose?"
The old man thought for a while, and then said: "Sorry, these questions, I can't answer you. There is only one thing I can tell you, this level is not so easy to go down, you need to answer me a question, the answer is correct, you can If you keep going, do not answer, or answer incorrectly, you need to leave, go back the same way, and never enter here again in this life."
Lu Yu's eyes twitched, glanced at the crowd, and then said, "Then... Please ask."
The old man asked directly: "Who are you, where do you come from, and where do you want to go?"
This question made Lu Yu almost choked to death by his own spit.
He thought that the other party would come up with a puzzle, or some knowledge about how to fight the underworld, or even test whether a person is righteous, but he really didn't expect it to be such a problem.
This question is not difficult, but the difficulty is that it does not have a standard answer.
If you want to answer correctly, you can only use the form of'hedging', that is, the answerer and the questioner think the same, then even if it is correct, if it is different, even if the answer is more mysterious, it is in vain, not a standard answer '.
Lu Yu was stumped because he didn't know the old man, so naturally he didn't know what the answer was in his mind.
On the contrary, the others were indeed shocked, and then they looked relaxed.
Especially Damon walked out straight out and said loudly, "I am Damon! I came from the Gale City of Delsa, and want to go to the lowest level of this cave! How about, are you satisfied with my answer? "
After listening to him, everyone regretted it, and wondered why didn't he stop this guy in time
Not only the old man would not be satisfied with this answer, even everyone present felt that Damon's answer was a bit idiot.
Lu Yu smiled bitterly, and then said: "This question is really difficult, and all of us are together. This way... As long as one of us answers correctly, it will be treated as if all of us answered correctly. Is this OK? To be honest, this is true. This is the hardest problem I have encountered in my life."
The old man smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Everyone was relieved now, but they reacted immediately and became even more nervous.
If the other party can agree so easily, the answer to this question...maybe more difficult than they thought.
Noya thought for a while, then stepped forward and said: "I am Noya, I come from destruction and ruins, and I want to go to a bright and peaceful state."
It was a little vague and artistic, but the old man just smiled and nodded without saying anything.
The corner of Noya's eyes twitched, and then he stepped back.
Both of them failed, and the others came up with their own opinions, and then stepped forward one by one, but none of them received a positive answer from the old man.
Only Lu Yu and Xiao Ruan were left in the audience.
Lu Yu gave a bitter smile, and walked forward, and then said, "Who am I? I was called Lu Yu in the past and this life. It is a coincidence, but the name is just a name. I am a mortal, that's all. Where did I come from? I came from another world. I should be the soul reincarnated and survived in this world. Where do I want to go? I never understand what I am pursuing in my life, sometimes because of a little thing, I I was exhausted and wandering across the continent. Some things are my own, some things are self-inflicted, and some things... have nothing to do with me, but I still do it, try my best, and even forget about life and death. But I think, I always have a pursuit, right? What am I asking for? I have told myself countless times that what I want is a quiet and peaceful life, a dull life, and a stable life. For this purpose, So I don’t hesitate to change the whole world! But... Is this really the case? I’ve been thinking for a while, in fact, it’s possible that I just can’t stay idle, always thinking about a peaceful life, but a peaceful life will become boring, and Let me become worthless. Without value, everything I cherish will be far away from me. What I am looking for may be money, a superior position, maybe... It’s just that I want to find something for myself Do things. After all, a person needs to have something to do in order to be alive, isn’t it? So you have to ask me where I want to go? I don’t know, I don’t know where I go. I’ve heard that A story, a person suddenly wanted to run, and then ran from one side of the mainland to the other, turned back from the other side, and then ran back, so back and forth, many people heard about him, and followed him, guessing He has various purposes, and even uses him to derive a lot of thinking, but he just wants to run, he doesn't want to be still, he doesn't want to stay, he just wants to run, from one place to another, do For what you are good at, you ask him his purpose? No, doing something itself is a purpose, maybe because there is no purpose, there is no goal, it can only be this way. Until one day he suddenly stopped Nothing significant happened, there was no violent psychological struggle, and it stopped like this, no matter how perplexed the people who followed him, he just said... Go home. Maybe what I am after. , The place you want to go is a place you can call home."
After speaking, Lu Yu grinned at the old man.
Some things have been held in my heart for a long time, and after all, I have said it out. After I have said it, it doesn't matter if this is the answer to the question or whether it is correct or not, anyway... I said it.
Just as Lu Yu thought, the old man was still smiling, and then he didn't say anything.
He was wrong.
But for himself, he felt that it was still reluctantly right.
Ren, even Lu Yu seems to understand the whole world on the surface, but in fact, he doesn't even understand himself.
The last thing left is Xiao Ruan.
She walked up gently, then glanced at Lu Yu, nodded, then turned to the old man and said, "I don't know who I am. I was born in a farmer's house. When I was not sensible, I was sold to Lu Yu. At home, the woman gave me the name Xiaoruan, and the young master gave me her surname, so although I don’t know who I am, my name is Lu Xiaoruan. I came here because of a mistake. My father said that it was because I didn't pay attention to it once after drinking, which allowed my mother to give birth to me. I was unplanned and the family couldn't afford it, so I was sold. As for where to go? What is the master going to? Wherever I go, I just want to be by his side, even if one day he wants to drive me away."
