Everyone was a little surprised.
But since the door is open, just go in
- This is an ancient house with three entrances and three exits, with white walls and blue tiles, bright red lanterns, darker in the night, and red more red, and the shadows of the trees in the courtyard are swaying, making it extremely gloomy.
In the sound of the desolate rain, the voice of an old man reciting poetry and prose was vaguely wandering, old, hoarse... The atmosphere became more and more strange.
They soon encountered the second door, which was still open.
Through the narrow and vertical door frame, under the eaves of the main house, an old scholar can be seen standing with his hands behind his back, shaking his head, and muttering words in his mouth:
"Fish, what I want; bear's paw, what I want..."
The four people outside the second door looked at each other.
"What is he reading?" Fu Miaoxue asked Du Lai in a low voice.
Du Lai shook his head: "I can't hear you clearly."
Shen Mo frowned and looked at it for a while, then stood outside the door and said, "Sir, we pass by here, can we come in to avoid the rain?"
As if he hadn't heard of it, the old scholar still shook his head and repeated: "Fish, I want it; bear paw, I want it..."
Shen Mo was even more suspicious and asked again, "Old sir?"
The other party still ignored them, as if they couldn't hear them.
"Damn game, are the NPCs set to be deaf?" Bai Youwei scolded in a bad mood after soaking in the rain for a long time, "The inspector speaks in a rude manner, and now the NPCs in the game are also dragging poems and prose for me, so they are mysterious, what is wrong? ~”
Ancient poetry is Bai Youwei's shortcoming.
Fu Miaoxue laughed: "There is something wrong with the inspector~"
Shen Mo thought for a while, grabbed the handle of the wheelchair and lifted it forcefully, and crossed the threshold with Bai Youwei—
The wheelchair landed, and the two entered the courtyard between the main house and the second gate, only a dozen paces away from the old scholar.
However, the other party still ignored them, immersed in their own world, and recited over and over again: "Fish, I want; bear paw, I want, I can't have both... I can't have both... …”
Du Lai saw that it was okay for Shen Mo and Bai Youwei to enter, so he took Fu Miaoxue's hand and followed.
Shen Mo pushed the wheelchair and approached the old scholar until he came to him. The other party lowered his head and pondered, turning a blind eye to them.
Shen Mo tentatively said: "You can't have both, one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw."
"Ah..." The old scholar's figure paused for a moment, and finally reacted, he slowly turned around, raised his head, and looked at Shen Mo.
It was a face over seventy years old, with pale hair and old age, with only one pair of eyes, dark and bright, looking at Shen Mo, a little scary.
"So it is, so it is..." The old scholar couldn't help nodding his head, "I want fish, and bear's paw is also what I want. You can't have both, and it is the one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw."
Everyone immediately understood that this was a level deliberately created by the game. As long as the level was solved, clues should be obtained next.
However, when they breathed a sigh of relief, the old scholar said again: "Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. You can't have both... You can't have both..."
Shen Mo: "..."
Bai Youwei frowned in disgust: "Why is this old man endless!"
Fu Miaoxue smiled and said, "It's so simple, even someone who sacrifices his life for righteousness!"
The old scholar's eyes brightened, and his face was full of smiles, "Ah... so it is! Life is what I want; righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness are also ."
Everyone was speechless.
But this old scholar is still not finished!
He recited in rhythm again: "I want to be born, and what I want is more than a living person, so I don't want to get it... I don't want to get it... I don't want to get it..."
Stuck again.
