Chapter 157: Life Trade-offs
When Mo Liang came in, Lin Weiran was playing with a meticulously carved object in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was two pieces of copper, pressed against the two ends of the slender copper sheet, a bit like a rocker for folk children to play with.
He fiddled with two pieces of copper at each end of the sheet with great interest.
"You say, which is more important?" Seeing Mo Liang approaching, he raised his eyebrows lightly, and his voice was casual.
Mo Liang frowned, he couldn't figure out Lin Weiran's thoughts, although he had stayed by his side for ten years, many times, he still felt that he was extremely unfathomable.
"It looks like it's just as heavy. He replied.
A touch of playfulness appeared at the corner of Lin Weiran's lips: "If it's not a copper block, but life and death?" he raised his eyebrows, "One side is life and the other is death, how to choose between gains and losses?"
Mo Liang didn't understand, so he didn't answer anymore, only silent.
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
"On one side is life, and on the other side is death. Xiao Rong looked at Li Xia in a deep voice and said.
"What do you mean?" asked Rixia as she looked around.
As soon as I entered the thatched hut in the middle, I found that I had stepped into another world, and in front of me was a passage built by bluestone slabs downward.
And after the two people stepped in, the bluestone door behind them fell heavily.
At this time, the two of them were in such a truncated passage.
The corners of Xiao Rong's lips outlined an inexplicable smile, and the upward arc looked very uninhibited.
"Trade-off?" he whispered, his voice disdainful, "do you think that people's hearts are as dark as you think?"
In a square space, the bluestone slabs are joined without gaps.
In the center, there is a stone slab that is slightly raised.
Xiao Rong raised an eyebrow at Li Xia.
"Okay, you listen to me. He said.
Li Xia frowned, and suddenly felt a kind of uneasiness in her heart: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Rong pointed to the top of the passage that had been cut off by the bluestone slab.
Li Xia looked in the direction Xiao Rong pointed, and saw a thin stream of water slowly flowing down the four walls towards the middle.
Xiao Rong pursed his lips: "It's really not technical, isn't it just to close the door and drown in the water." ā
Li Xia was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Rong frowned: "Say you're stupid, you really don't want to, ask me anything." If there is no countermeasure. He spread his hands, "Let's drown together." ā
"You have a way, don't you?" asked Li Xia after reluctance.
Xiao Rong grinned.
"Of course. ā
As he spoke, he walked over to the raised bluestone slab and stood up.
The bluestone slab was pressed down by his weight, and at the same time, the sound of the bracket running was heard, and a sealed piece of bluestone in front of him was lifted, revealing the path through which only one person was left.
"It's a seesaw, it's not technical at all. He pouted.
Li Xia was stunned for a moment.
"And then?" he asked.
Xiao Rong rolled his eyes: "Can't you use your brain a little?"
He pointed ahead: "Go over!"
Li Xia sighed and stepped forward.
It's as simple as that?
So what kind of array is this?
He looked back at Xiao Rong with some hesitation.
"Come over quickly, listen to me, what are you grinding and chirping?" Xiao Rong shouted.
Li Xia paused.
Wrong!
This is a rocker! There must be someone who presses one end to make the other end lift, in other words, only if Xiao Rong presses the bluestone, the door will open. In other words, if he is allowed to leave, Xiao Rong must stay.
In this way, he was trapped in place by a bluestone slab, and he was in a dilemma.
"I'll hold down the bluestone slab. Li Xia opened his mouth and said firmly. "You leave. ā
Xiao Rong snorted, raised his eyebrows and teased: "You stay?"
Li Xia did not hesitate and nodded heavily.
Xiao Rong coldly landed his gaze on the raised bluestone door: "Look for yourself!"
Li Xia looked over.
The bluestone gate that was lifted by Xiao Rong fell down little by little, not very quickly, but there was no room for turn.
"The door is about to close, there is not much time to think about it, you have to go!" Xiao Rong frowned.
Li Xia didn't speak, only shook his head.
Xiao Rong snorted coldly: "You stay? Will you break the formation? Do you know how to get out of here alive after staying? Li Xia, do you know what your biggest weakness is? I think I am full of blood, but I never do things with my brains!"
Li Xia's face turned pale, and he was speechless for a while.
Xiao Rong frowned: "I won't necessarily die if I stay, you will definitely die if you stay, don't think too much about it, I'm not staying to save you." You get out of here quickly, if you want to repay my favor, go to the Formation Pivot, turn off the water, and before the master is drowned, hurry up!
Li Xia looked at the bluestone gate that was falling lower and lower, and gritted his teeth heavily.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find the Formation Pivot and come back to save you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Rong breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and looked at Li Xia and rushed out of the bluestone gate.
Then, the door fell to the very bottom, and there was no more gap.
The water fell down the four walls and soon filled the ground.
Xiao Rong looked at the water flowing down the four walls with some complexity.
"Trade-offs. He read.
This formation is a trade-off from beginning to end.
If the people who enter the battle stimulate the evil thoughts in their hearts, they will definitely kill each other, and use the corpses of the people who are traveling with them to press the bluestone slab for a way to live.
If it is another, the two are willing to give up the way of birth to each other, which is another trade-off, just like Li Xia and Xiao Rong. Li Xia chose to leave, or stay.
Xiao Rong sighed and moved away from the bluestone slab, the door had already fallen, and it was no longer interesting to press it.
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
Although he was expected, this journey went exceptionally smoothly, which still made Jing Changning's heart gradually hang.
The footsteps fell lightly among the new weeds, and it was exceptionally calm.
"How did it go so well?" Wen Yi asked.
Jing Changning frowned: "Because Xiao Rong has already triggered all the traps before me, so we will not have the slightest hindrance." ā
Wen Yi sighed.
"What is your relationship, he will help you so recklessly?" he looked at Jing Changning faintly.
Jing Changning walked forward, his steps abrupt.
"What kind of man likes men is my nonsense, you and I don't know, but Xiao Rong's guy is also the fifth prince in the world, and his reputation is outside, and I haven't heard anything about him liking men for so many years. ā
Jing Changning looked over with a slight gaze.
Wen Yi continued to take care of himself: "It's also strange to say, Xiao Rong and Jinghua's temperament are somewhat similar, they are both unconventional, but Jinghua's guy is determined to drown in three thousand weak waters, but Xiao Rong's guy hasn't even touched a girl, and it is said that Yunguo Gongzi Xiang has also wasted a lot of effort for this......"
Jing Changning blurted out: "Hasn't he touched a woman for so many years?"
Wen Yi was taken aback by Jing Changning's sudden question, and nodded in a daze.
"But it's rumored that he used to use a set of prevarications, as if he was waiting for a little girl who was his childhood sweetheart......"
Before Wen Yi's words fell, he saw Jing Changning rushing straight into the thatched house.
"Hey, wait for me!" Wen Yi strode after him.
