Chapter 105: The Gate of Conceit

Previous Chapter

The seventh gate opened like a mountain and river, and the familiar human-faced giant tiger was already guarding it, but after seeing the intruder Wu Yan, he did not attack, but confidently let Wu Yi enter the gate.

"Young intruder, do you really think that as a mortal, you can break into the Heavenly Palace? Can you meet the gods with a human body? No, nothing but the despair of death awaits you, and no matter how you pass the test of the gate ahead, you will always stop within this gate, me! In front of you! ”。

The confidence in the eyes of the human-faced giant tiger became stronger and stronger, as if he had a strong confidence in the gate he was guarding, and he had already pronounced a judgment on Wu Yi's fate.

"How do you know if you don't try, you see, I'm not standing in front of you right now?" , Seeing that the human-faced giant tiger did not attack, Wu Yi jokingly refuted the words of the human-faced giant tiger, because compared to the self-confidence of the human-faced giant tiger, he Wu Yi also has his own persistence.

"Hurry up and start the test of what kind of test you want to perform! I'm in a hurry! ”。

"Arrogant boy! The test of this gate is very simple, as long as you can answer my three questions correctly, you can pass this gate, but if you answer one question incorrectly! You're going to die here! The human-faced giant tiger was proud of Wu Yi's daring to provoke himself, and his deformed anger instantly surged into his heart.

No one has ever dared to speak so to himself, and no one has dared to take his own trials so lightly!

"Guess the riddle, then let's start quickly!" , Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, there were no more demons to summon, once he faced the test of needing to fight, it was obviously a slim chance, and it was already best for him not to need to fight at the moment.

But these three questions are probably the same as this human-faced giant tiger said, once one of the questions is answered incorrectly, he will definitely die.

"First question, what creature has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?" The Human-Faced Tiger asked his first confident question, which had stopped many humans who had climbed the Heavenly Palace, and how long it had been since no one had answered this answer.

However, Wu Yan showed an intriguing smile on his face after hearing this.

This human-faced giant tiger has guarded the seventh gate for thousands of years, and he doesn't know how to update his own problems!

This question has been asked and answered in the history of mankind!

Your question may be able to stop a generation of humans from entering the Heavenly Palace, but it cannot stop the human race from growing, and one day, someone will answer your question again.

And I, Wu Yi, am one of them!

"The answer is humans!".

This question comes from the riddle of the Sphinx in Greek mythology, where the queen of heaven, Herapais Sphinx, sat on a cliff near the city of Thebais, stopped passers-by, and asked them a riddle taught by the muse, and those who did not guess would be eaten by it: "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?" When he has the most legs, it is also when he walks the slowest and his physical strength is the weakest. ”

Oedipus guessed the correct answer, and the riddle was "man". Because morning refers to childhood, you have to crawl and walk by hand, so it is four legs, noon refers to adulthood, you have to walk on two legs, so it is two legs, and evening refers to old age, you have to walk with crutches, so it is three legs.

"How would you know!" , The human-faced giant tiger was surprised after hearing Wu Yan's answer, he was the first human to answer his own question in thousands of years!

But it doesn't matter, he will never be able to answer his second question!

"You come to two gates, one to the eighth gate, and the other to the gate of the abyss, and there is a guard at the gate, and one of the guards tells lies, and the other tells the truth. Now that you only have one chance to ask a question, just ask one question to one guard, and the guard only gives you a "yes" or "no" answer to your question, how can you find the right way to the eighth gate? ”。

That is, one of the two guards tells the truth and the other tells a lie.

So if you ask the guards who tell the truth, is this the way to the eighth gate?

The guard who tells the truth will say yes or no, and likewise, the guard who tells the lie will say the same thing, because you don't know which guard guards the way to the eighth gate!

But if the question changes, instead of asking from the guards themselves, ask: Will the other guard tell me that you are the guard of the eighth gate?

The rules will quietly change.

Because if the guard in front of you is telling a lie, and he is guarding the eighth gate, he will say "no".

And if it weren't for guarding the eighth gate, he would have said "yes."

Conversely, if the guard in front of you was telling the truth, and guarding the eighth gate, he should have said "yes", but because the other guard was telling a lie, he would have said "no".

If it weren't for guarding the eighth gate, he would have said "no", but because the other guard would tell lies, he would have said "yes".

So, as long as he says "yes", then he is not the guard of the eighth gate, and if he says "no", then he is the guard of the eighth gate!

Logic is negative and negative is positive!

Under the quick thinking of Wu Yi, a social veteran, this second puzzle also quickly came to a conclusion.

"Ask the guard, will the other guard tell me that you are the guard of the eighth gate? The one who says no, the guardian of the Eighth Gate! ”。

Hitting the nail on the head, the puzzle of the Human-Faced Giant Tiger was revealed, and for the first time, a shocked expression appeared on the Human-Faced Giant Tiger's face, and its strong confidence in itself began to shake violently.

And yet it is absolutely unbearable!

The third question must be unanswerable to him!

And Wu Yi began to become more and more confident after answering the last two questions in a row, and the so-called mystery did not seem to be so difficult, and strange emotions quietly spread in his heart.

This is exactly what the human-faced tiger wants to see, like a prey that has been lured by constant lure, falling into the trap of this last question.

"What is it that all people are born with, but when you are successful, it will hinder you, and when you don't, you will disappear without a trace, and no one wants this kind of thing, but this thing has always affected humanity?".

Wu Yi gave the answer in an instant after hearing this!

"Hahaha! The only emotion I don't have is conceit! I don't need you to bang me! ”。

In an instant, the human-faced giant tiger was unwilling to fly into the ninth gate in the air, and the seventh gate was closed, the clouds kept changing, the smoke rose and dispersed, and the road to the eighth gate appeared in front of Wu Yi's eyes.

Obviously, Wu Yi answered all three questions correctly, and this seventh gate could no longer stop Wu Yi's advance!

And behind the seventh gate, there is written the gate of conceit!
