Chapter 119: The Old Man of the Wooden Boat
Go down further, after another cup of tea.
Minsa and Pei Xing finally saw the "end" after this smooth road.
There is not the end, but the end of this road, Pei Xing even thought, no matter what it is, as long as it is no longer the same road.
If you continue without change, you will not necessarily go crazy.
In fact, not only Pei Xing, but Minsa has also suppressed his emotions, for fear that he will also show his collapse emotions, and Pei Xing will explode.
They looked at the end of the straight road, there was a river, the current was not very fast, about a few hundred meters away from the water, there was a forest, and in the depths of the forest there seemed to be some houses looming, what seemed to be a remote village.
In short, the endless road just now has finally come to an end.
"Two guest officers, do you want to take a boat?" At this moment, a gray figure suddenly appeared on the bank of the river, and a hunchbacked gray-haired boatman straightened up and said to Minsa and Pei Xing.
When they looked intently, they saw a narrow wooden boat moored on the river, and the boatman had a long bamboo pole in his hand to support the boat.
"Okay." Pei Xing responded, and walked forward with Minsa, and on the way, they also glanced at each other, reminding each other to be vigilant, if this old man is a martial arts master, it is not necessary to compete with them.
However, after a while, they were safe and sound, and with the old man's bamboo oars propped up to the end, the boat had rowed off the shore, and drifted away in the opposite direction with a leisurely ripple.
"It's a coincidence that the two of you came, my wooden boat can only carry four people, and I don't carry any more, and I only go once a day."
The old man turned his back to them, leaving them with only a clumsy and thin back, and gray unkempt hair tied haphazardly with a hair rope, and he spoke in a natural voice, as if he were chatting casually with the people who were on the boat, but the tail was very long, and seemed to have a deep meaning.
The eyes of the Wanfu Venerable Lord outside the illusion lit up, and he already understood the meaning of the words of the old man who supported the boat.
At the same time, Minsa's heart turned and he also understood the meaning of the old man's words.
When she looked up at Pei Xing, who was sitting opposite, she saw that he was looking down and thinking, frowning silently, and after a while, he also raised his head, and the question between his eyebrows was swept away, and he looked at Mingsa, proving that they all understood.
This wooden boat can only carry four people, except for the old man who will inevitably hold the boat on the boat, only three more people can ride, and no one more will sail. And when I looked back at them now, the boring road that had been walked for a long time had turned into chaos......
In other words, if all four of them choose to take this smooth road, they will not be able to pass this level.
What does this mean?
Is it that they have to disagree at the beginning?
What does it mean?
When it comes to the choice of worldly things, there is often no right or wrong. Perhaps this avenue and mountain road is to test whether they can conform to their own will, adhere to their own opinions, and not be influenced by the majority or authority, if one person is the authority, and the other three obey the authority, then they will lose this level......
At this time, the old man spoke again: "Two of you, there is a fork in the road ahead, how do we go?" ”
Minsa and Pei Xing craned their necks and looked in front of the current, only to see that there were indeed two streams separated by mountain streams in front of them, one on the left and one on the right.
"Uncle, we have two companions, they will come from the mountain road, which way can we go to meet them?" Minsa asked.
"What? Where to go? The old man turned his ear sideways and cried out loudly, but his ears did not seem to work.
Minsa then stood up, leaned over to him, and repeated the question. The old man still had a big mouth and shouted loudly, what? Say what?
At this time, Pei Xing patted Minsa and motioned for her to sit down, and then he got up, sank into the dantian, and shouted loudly: "We have two companions who come from the mountain road, whichever road can meet them, we will go!" ”
Yes! The old man finally heard clearly, and then he paused for a moment, and said peacefully again: "I am afraid that those who walk on the mountain road will not be able to pass." ”
What does this mean?
Mingsa hurriedly signaled to Pei Xing and hurriedly asked him why he said this, and Pei Xing shouted again: "What does the old man mean by this?" ”
The old man paused for another two seconds, as if he had to have a long reaction process when he heard someone speak.
"I've never seen anyone walk the mountain road to get by...... "Are you sure you're going to join them?" he said leisurely. ”
"The waters on the left flow into the country, and the waters on the right flow through them, and they are the closest to them, but they cannot pass, how do you meet? Can you figure out which way to go? ”
At this time, Minsa and Pei Xing were stunned by what he said.
If they are sure that they can't come, then is there still a need for the two of them to continue, it is only the four of them who walk out of the illusion together to win, if there are two less, the meaning of this game is gone.
So Minsa and Pei Xing nodded to each other, and then Pei Xing shouted into the old man's ear again: "Go to the right!" ”
Okay......
The old man said, his tone was a little disobedient to the old man's words, but he still turned the direction of the oar, and the boat drifted to the right.
The boat was about to enter the low-lying waters along the current, and the current began to be turbulent, and the old man supported the boat leisurely, although he did not slow down, but he still asked: "It's too late to regret now, if you can't join them in the past, you won't be able to come back." ”
There was also a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his voice.
Pei Xing and Minsa didn't speak, you can't hear it if it's whispered anyway, and we don't plan to go back anyway.
The wooden boat floats down the river and into the tributary on the right, and not far away you can see a spacious wooden house built in the water, which looks quite indifferent and distant, and has a lot of meaning.
The tranquil water surface after this rapids, transcendent and slippery, is very much like an old general who returns to the field, and after retiring, he floats on the water, and his heart is far away, his fame is indifferent, and his daughter is lazy.
"This water is a thousand-year-old submergence, no matter how high the martial arts are, it will sink directly to the bottom and become fish food." The old man said suddenly.
Every word he said, he was actually hinting at something, and Minsa and Pei Xing could feel it.
As soon as he said this, Minsa and the others had already stretched out their necks to look into the water outside the boat, and they didn't seem to see anything abnormal, but although the water was blue and clear, they couldn't see any creatures in it, even if it was a weed, it was indeed a little different.
Then, not surprisingly, the wooden boat, under the control of the old man who supported the boat, approached the wooden house on the water with closed doors and windows. When the boat was about to dock at the edge of the hut, the old man spoke again.
"There is a bird in the house, and it has a key on it, and if you find it, you can open the back door of the hut."
What do you mean?
Why look for keys? Why open the back door?
Of course, this is in the test of the ultimate illusion, and the people who set the tribulation don't care why.
"What happens if I can't find it?" Pei Xing asked.
"Time waits for no one, and the guest officer needs to speed up his actions." The old man ignored Pei Xing's question, talked to himself, and then slowly slowed down his speed and prepared to moor.
Pei Xing shook his head a little helplessly, forgetting that he couldn't hear clearly behind his ears.
But after waiting for a while, he had no intention of docking, but turned the boat around, propped it up, and wanted to return the same way: "Get off the boat, two of you." ”
Minsa hurriedly got up with Pei Xing, and before the boat accelerated, he jumped onto the platform outside the wooden house, and looked at the sinking water one step away, and was quite surprised in his heart.
After the old man walked out of the boat, he suddenly said without looking back: "If you can't find it, you just wait to be trapped here and die, this is the price you choose this way......"
Turns out he could hear...... (To be continued.) )
