Origin

"Hahaha..." Wang Xinran smiled wildly.

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at her. Wang Xinran knew that Wu Zhongyuan was looking at her, but he still couldn't help it. He almost stopped laughing and coughed repeatedly.

"Why didn't I choke you to death?" Wu Zhongyuan looked disgusted.

"Haha, he was afraid that the words he wrote would fade over time, so he simply burned a porcelain vase with the words on it," Wang Xinran said with a smile, "This old guy really worked hard to tease you."

"Have you wiped the shit off your hands?" Wu Zhongyuan mocked.

Wang Xinran is not a serious person to begin with. He is very casual. He laughs whenever he wants and keeps laughing, leaning forward and backward while laughing.

Seeing her losing her temper when she smiled, Lu Jiahui was confused. She walked over to read the words on the porcelain bottle, covered her mouth after reading it and walked away.

Zhang Shukai was relatively dull and didn't talk much, but the actions of the three people still aroused his curiosity. He came over to have a look. Wu Zhongyuan simply gave him the porcelain bottle and said, "It's for you."

Before seeing what was written on the porcelain bottle, Zhang Shukai was mentally prepared to restrain himself, but after seeing the words 'Deer Bian Da Bu Dan', he still couldn't hold it back and suppressed his laughter. cough.

After thinking hard for a long time, he finally got such a ridiculous reward. Anyone would inevitably feel depressed. But after thinking about it, Wu Zhongyuan was relieved. Risk and profit are directly proportional. The penalty for opening the door is to wipe a hand of filth. , the corresponding reward is a piece of rock candy, while Xiumen's punishment is bloody, and the reward is a kidney-tonifying elixir. Punishment and reward are both relative.

Walk through a stone gate and enter the third gate, Shengmen.

Shengmen is also a stone chamber, and there is also a stone platform in the stone chamber, but the stone platform has been broken, and the smell of gunfire remains in the air. The stone platform should have been blown to pieces by some kind of gun.

Directly north of the stone chamber, near the fourth stone door, there is a stone box. The size of the box is about the same as that of a microwave oven. At this time, the lid of the box has been lifted.

The floor of the stone chamber was covered with thick white dust, at least three to four centimeters thick. Like the second stone chamber, this stone chamber also has dense round holes on the top, and the thick dust on the ground is undoubtedly ejected from those round holes on the top.

Lu Jiahui kneaded and examined the white dust, "It should be plant ash."

"First there will be a bloody head, and then there will be a disgraced face." Wu Zhongyuan said.

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Wang Xinran wanted to laugh again. The reason why she wanted to laugh was because the embarrassment of Zhao Ying and others appeared in her mind, but she also felt that her laughter was not serious enough, so she tried to hold it back.

"They may be very angry after being teased, so they blow up the stone platform in anger." Zhang Shukai said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, walked north, and walked over to check the stone box in front of the stone door. The stone box was empty now, but it should have contained something before.

When Wu Zhongyuan was checking the stone box, Wang Xinran came over and said, "There is dust inside the stone box, which means it was opened before they triggered the mechanism."

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer. Logically speaking, the contents of the stone box should be rewards for students. However, since Zhao Ying and others triggered the mechanism, it means that they failed to answer the question correctly. Since the answer was wrong, why would there be a reward.

Feeling confused, he tried to push the stone box. When he pushed it, the stone box moved.

Knocking on the stone slab below the stone box, there was no echo, which showed that there was no mechanism to push the movement below, and the stone box was originally placed outside.

“This stone gate was blocked from the inside.

"Wang Xinran said, pointing to the stone gate to the north.

Wu Zhongyuan was thinking about other things and did not answer the call.

After inspecting the stone box, Wu Zhongyuan turned and walked towards the shattered stone platform. Although the stone platform was shattered, it could still be pieced together.

In addition to gravel, the remains of the stone platform also have many twisted metal connecting rods. These connecting rods should be transmission devices. The main body of the mechanism is hidden in the stone wall. Depending on the operation of the stone platform, different mechanisms are triggered, or rewards are given. Or give punishment.

The stone platform was seriously damaged. Even if the stone platform was pieced together, the corresponding mechanism might not be triggered. However, Wu Zhongyuan did not put the stone platform together to obtain the rewards here, but just wanted to find out why the stone box was placed here.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was determined to put the stone platform together, the three of them came over to help. The supporting stone piers were useless, so the four of them just put it together on the ground.

Soon, the broken stone platform was pieced together. The style was similar to the previous stone platform. There were also some round holes and some words. On the far right was a column of relatively large words, 'I gave up and took the stone. Just leave what's in the letter. ’

The appearance of this series of words directly solved Wu Zhongyuan's doubts. The stone box was placed there deliberately by Zuo Ci.

In addition to this column of relatively large characters, there are three columns of small characters on the stone platform. The first column is 'What is the most important thing in life as a human being? ’ On the left side of this column of small characters, there are five round holes arranged up and down. There are small characters above each round hole, which are respectively ‘I, the king, the people, parents, wife and children. ’

"These are three multiple choice questions." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It seems simple, but it actually hides the Taoist Yi Li, and most people can't answer it correctly."

"How should I choose the first one?" Wang Xinran asked.

"How do you choose?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Lu Jiahui, "How do you choose?"

Lu Jiahui thought for a while, "Should I choose Li Min?"

Wang Xinran looked at Zhang Shukai who was standing on his left. Zhang Shukai didn't want to answer, but Wang Xinran kept looking at him. He had no choice but to say, "I think it's my parents."

Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan again.

"Let me ask you, why do you look at me?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Are they right?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Don't worry about them, just say what you think?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"If I choose the first one, wouldn't it look selfish?" Wang Xinran laughed at himself.

"The first one should be right." Wu Zhongyuan said, "In the Taoist view, 'I' is the root of everything. Without 'I', the world does not even exist, let alone kings and people. A person who treats himself well cannot You will definitely be kind to others, but if a person is not kind to himself, he will not be kind to others.”

"Are you more important than your parents?" Zhang Shukai's face didn't look good.

"But if something is related to your own destiny, and your opinions are inconsistent with those of your parents, whose opinion do you choose to listen to?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Zhang Shukai did not answer.

"Isn't it a bit selfish and narrow-minded?" Lu Jiahui whispered.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "Zuo Ci's question is just about who is the most important person in the world. It is a philosophical question and does not involve the moral level. The beholder has different opinions, but I can guarantee that in his opinion, the first choice is the right one."

"It's a pity that the mechanism is broken and I can't verify whether your answer is correct." Wang Xinran said with a smile.

"Although the stone platform is broken, the connecting rod below is still there. Pressing the connecting rod should be able to trigger the mechanism." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Then how should you answer the second one?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer immediately. The second question was "Choose one." There were still five round holes on the left side, and above each hole there was an idiom: "Repay evil with kindness, the law of heaven is clear, the fool will not move, restrain oneself and restore etiquette, sacrifice one's life to become benevolent" . ’

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan turning to look at her again, Wang Xinran waved her hands repeatedly, "Stop asking us, you can figure it out yourself."

Wu Zhongyuan said, "These five idioms all come from the Analects of Confucius. Zuo Ci should have read the Analects."

"Choosing one means asking you to choose one of these five idioms?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "These five idioms all contain an attitude or view on life. He wanted me to choose the one that seems correct to me."

"Aren't these five idioms all correct?" Wang Xinran wondered.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "That's your opinion. In his opinion, only one is right."

Wang Xinran stared at the slate, "I feel that he is not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness."

"Thoughts determine actions," Wu Zhongyuan said. "It cannot be said that he is not the kind of person who repays kindness with kindness. It should be said that in his opinion, repaying kindness with kindness is not correct. How to repay kindness with kindness? He will feed you every day and beat you every day. Man, if you smile at others, who will give you food? They will beat you."

"It seems that you are on the same page as him." Wang Xinran said with a smile.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again, "You can't say that. Some of my ideas are similar to his because he is a member of the Taoist sect, and my master is also a Taoist priest. I have been influenced by Taoist ideas since I was a child."

"What about the second one?" Wang Xinran asked.

"The laws of nature should be able to be ruled out," Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Reason." Wang Xinran said.

"The law of heaven means that God can do justice," Wu Zhongyuan said. "When you are wronged, you do not seek justice yourself, but instead place your hope in God to do justice. This is a sign of cowardice, and some people are bullied and dare not It is the same thing to resist, say 'I am not as knowledgeable as you', and to pretend that you are qualified to cover up your cowardice. "

"Needless to say, it is definitely correct to follow the fool without hesitation." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "At least in his opinion, it is correct. The immutability of stupidity means that it is difficult to change the minds of stupid people. Confucius actually said a truth, but this sentence can easily arouse public outrage in modern times. "

"This person has incorrect views." Zhang Shukai said seriously.

"These words were said by Confucius, not Zuo Ci." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhang Shukai was speechless, because Confucius was now respected and studied by the world, so how could he dare to say that the sage Confucius had incorrect views.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "Zuo Ci knows magic and doesn't have to follow some rules in the world, so he dares to speak out, say what he wants to say, and do what he wants to do. If he didn't know magic, he would have been arrested long ago. Beheaded. But even so, he is a high-minded person and has few close friends."

"There is one last question." Wang Xinran urged.

The third question roughly means how to respond to the offenses of others. In terms of forgiveness, tolerance, counterattack, connivance, and persuasion, Wu Zhongyuan chose to counterattack without hesitation. The reason is that forgiveness and tolerance will encourage sin, and indulgence will lose light. And persuasion is definitely useless, because a person who dares to offend himself will definitely not listen to preaching.

Find the corresponding connecting rod and press it accordingly.

The answer was correct, the mechanism was triggered, and a slight vibration came from the stone chamber...
