Chapter 250: The Test of the Five Constants
[Thank you for the tip of S for assassinating O gods and demons S children's shoes]
The moment the Qilin (Chaos) totem merged into Wu Lingfeng's body, a strange force teleported him into a space.
There was nothing in this space, but in front of Wu Lingfeng's eyes, there were five big characters: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith.
These five characters are written in Li, they are Chinese characters, not any language in this world, which makes Wu Lingfeng a little curious, could it be that this unicorn totem has some connection with his own Chinese culture?
At this time, the word "benevolence" flickered, and suddenly Wu Lingfeng found that the space around him had changed.
"In the middle of the desert, you meet a traveler who has fallen to the ground, he is seriously short of water, if you give him his water, then he can be saved, but if you give it to him, the water you have will not take you out of the desert......"
At this time, an inexplicable sentence appeared in Wu Lingfeng's mind.
In front of him was an endless desert, and there was a man who fell to the ground beside Wu Lingfeng, his lips were shriveled and his breath was like a gossamer.
Illusion?
Is it another test?
Just like the test when Wu Lingfeng became an ice master, after going through some tests, Wu Lingfeng really became an ice master, and now it is another test.
Wu Lingfeng thought about it, the space he was in before, the five big characters flashed, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith.
Among these five words, it should be that Ren flickered before he came to this space, which means that this level tests Ren.
Benevolence loves others, which is the interpretation of Confucianism as benevolence, which means to think about them.
Wu Lingfeng suddenly understood. I looked at my body, and there were five or six kettles. He took out a kettle and prepared to feed the man next to him.
"Only when you get out of this desert can you pass the test. Give water to others, and the rest of the water will not support you to get out of the desert, and you will not be able to walk out of the desert, then you will be imprisoned in this space forever......"
At this time, this kind of prompt appeared in Wu Lingfeng's mind again.
Hehe......
Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but smile, if it was someone else, he would definitely leave this man behind and walk out of the desert with his own water, then ......
Doing so is sure to fail, since it is a test of benevolence. That is to save this person, and only by saving this person can we be regarded as passing the test of benevolence.
But the hint just now also has the right place, that is, when he walks out of this desert, he will leave this space, so after Wu Lingfeng wanted to leave this desert with this man, he passed the test of this "benevolence".
But if the water is distributed to the man next to him, it will not be enough for himself, and in the end both of them will die in this desert, and both of them will die. It's better to leave alone, maybe most people will think so.
But the key is that this is a test of a game, and since it is a game, there is nothing that cannot be completed. Wu Lingfeng thought that there must be something else waiting for them in front of them, enough for them to get out of this desert.
So Wu Lingfeng fed the water in the kettle to the man next to him.
"Goo...... Goo ......"
After drinking the water, the man quickly came to his senses. looked at Wu Lingfeng in a daze, and immediately said gratefully: "Xie Lu, thank you." Little brother ......"
Wu Lingfeng shook his head and said, "It's okay. Save someone's life, win the seventh-level floating slaughter, this big brother, let's go on the road together......"
The man looked at the sheepskin water bag on Wu Lingfeng's waist, and immediately shook his head and said: "Hey, forget it, I have received your kindness, little brother, but the water on your body is only enough for one person, and it will take three days to get out of this person's desert, you better go by yourself, I can't burden you......"
Wu Lingfeng suddenly straightened his face and said: "What are you talking about, how can I leave you, since I chose to save you, then I have to do it to the end, believe me, we will definitely be able to get out of this desert ......"
The man shook his head and said, "I really admire the little brother's mind, but there is no shop in front of the village in this desert, and there are very few pedestrians, you better go by yourself, the eldest brother can't affect you......"
Wu Lingfeng shook his head, didn't say a word, picked up the man, and then walked forward, saying: "Save people to the end, let's go, I have made up my mind, believe me, we can get out of this desert ......"
"Hey, okay, I'll go by myself......" The man could only shake his head helplessly.
……
At this time, it was a scorching summer day, Wu Lingfeng and the man walked for more than half a day, and the two of them had chapped lips, and they took a sip of water when they were so thirsty......
"It's almost night...... "Then we can take a rest, Wu Lingfeng said weakly, the magic on his body is gone, he is an ordinary person now.
"Little brother, hey, why don't you go by yourself, I'm completely dragging you down......" The man suddenly said with a bitter face, Wu Lingfeng's water bag has already consumed three, and there are only three left, one more person will consume more, at this level, they will be short of water by the next day.
"What are you talking about, let's go......" Wu Lingfeng still gritted his teeth and insisted, he had the heart to abandon the man next to him, the current water is to save money, but no matter how much he saves, tomorrow they will really run out of water, their bodies are uncomfortably hot, and their throats are dry and sore......
Without the ability of magic and the like, the storage space cannot be summoned, Wu Lingfeng found that he was an ordinary person, and there was a lack of water in such a state, how to get out of this desert.
Should you regret saving this man next to you? Wu Lingfeng shook his head, there is no regret, how can there be regrets, there is no need for a reason to save people, and this is a test, then there is no way to die, so if you persist, you can win.
Finally, at night, Wu Lingfeng and the man found a place to rest.
"I still have two cakes on my body, one for each person, only after eating can I have the strength to hurry......" Wu Lingfeng took out the food on his body, one for himself and one for the man.
"Alas, little brother, you are a good man, tomorrow, if. I mean, if I can't make it up. You can go by yourself, but there is one thing I would like you......" The man took out a large pearl of the night from his package. It is the size of a fist and glows a blurry blue at night.
If it was placed in the previous life, Wu Lingfeng thought, this is definitely a priceless treasure, but he has seen so many treasures in the other world, he no longer has any curiosity about this, it is just a night pearl, his palace is everywhere, this kind of thing is very common in the other world. You can buy it with gold coins, and if you want, the mermaid princess Sophie is more, living in the sea, what pearl agate is not?
The man looked at Wu Lingfeng's calm eyes, which were very pure, without a trace of greed, and immediately relieved, and put the night pearl in Wu Lingfeng's hand. said: "Little brother, I believe in you, if you get out of this desert, there will be an oasis. There is a city in the oasis, please give this thing to the lord's daughter with your own hands, and then tell her the word 'promise'......"
Wu Lingfeng said suspiciously: "Big brother." You should give it to her with your own hands, that person must be your important person. It's good to do it yourself......"
"No, little brother. You don't know what to do, I'm actually poisoned, with our current state, I can't support it anymore, I can only ask you, tomorrow you better go on your own road, don't worry about me, if you help me give this thing to her, then the eldest brother will be blinded...... "The man closed his eyes and said.
"Poisoned?" Wu Lingfeng suddenly frowned, this is the critical time, the game is often a test of the player's choice at this time, so there are two choices, one is to continue to take this poisoned man away, and the other is to leave this poisoned man, and then go by himself, just help him complete the task of sending things.
Both of these choices may be the right choice, the former one, which can prove the existence of "benevolence", and the latter one, indicating that he has done his best to be benevolent, and helping him complete the task by himself, it is also a good thing to do in the end, not that he doesn't want to save him, but even if he begs him, he can't save him if he is poisoned......
How to choose? If he insisted on choosing the former, the man would die, and Wu Lingfeng's water bag was not enough for him to get out of the desert, he would also die, and at the same time, he would not be able to complete the task of sending things to the man.
If he chooses the latter item and abandons this poisoned man, Wu Lingfeng's water is barely enough for him to insist on getting out of the desert, and he can help the man fulfill his wish.
If it were someone else, he might choose the second item, but Wu Lingfeng still stubbornly chose the first item, because this man is the main line of the story, if he disappears, even if Wu Lingfeng completes the task of sending things, then he will not be able to pass the test.
Wu Lingfeng, who has deep experience in GAL.GAME games, is naturally well aware of this choice, and without the protagonist of the main line of the game, this game is GAME.OVER.
"Big brother, I'll take this night pearl, but you have to go with me, in case we encounter a miracle, if you really can't do it, I will swear to hand over the night pearl to the daughter of the city lord." Wu Lingfeng said.
"Alas...... Little brother, you ......" The man was suddenly moved, the guy who could not abandon him at this time must be a saint and gentleman, and it was the right choice to entrust him with this night pearl.
……
After resting like this for a night, Wu Lingfeng and the man started to hit the road again, but after walking for a while, the man's face gradually turned blue, obviously a toxin attack......
"Bang ......"
The man suddenly fell to the ground.
"Little brother, go by yourself, I can't bother you anymore, and I can't either......" The man said suddenly.
It's time to choose again, Wu Lingfeng still chose to continue to take this man, as long as he doesn't really die, then he has to keep going, just like chasing beautiful women in the GAL.GAME game, as long as the other party doesn't hate you, you have to chase it to the end and insist on pushing it down.
"Big brother, I'll carry you away......" Wu Lingfeng carried the man on his back and continued to walk forward slowly.
"Alas, little brother, you are not benevolent, but stupid, let me go, or we will both die......" The man said weakly.
Wu Lingfeng didn't speak, and continued to carry the man forward, of course, in this case, Wu Lingfeng was even more tired, damn, is it to pass the test, don't be such an idiot saint, your sister, walking in the desert with a person on your back, the master really has to become a great sage, Confucius sees it, and he has to bow down.
Gradually, Wu Lingfeng's water bag had been exhausted, and at this moment, it finally ushered in a turning point, and a caravan came from the opposite side.
"Help......
Wu Lingfeng shouted weakly, kept beckoning, and then lay on the ground, alas, cheating father, he insisted until now that he was about to die......
“……”
Soon the caravan came to Wu Lingfeng and them, the leader of the caravan was a bearded old man, he was a very good person, and immediately let people treat Wu Lingfeng and them, fortunately, there was a doctor in the caravan who accompanied the team and removed the poison from the man's body.
"Thank you, old man......" Wu Lingfeng drank water, and after eating, his body recovered, and he immediately hurriedly hugged his fists to thank the bearded old man.
"It's okay, Ha Luha, in the desert, do you want to help each other, and I also admire you very much, little brother, it is not easy to be able to hold on to this place with a poisoned person, Ha Luha, with my demeanor back then, it's almost night, you rest first, I will borrow you water and food, of course, not a lot, but enough for you to go to the oasis in front, after all, we also need food and water on the road......" The bearded old man smiled and waved his hand and said.
"Well, then thank you old man, you saved two lives today, and you will definitely live for two hundred years......," Wu Lingfeng said suddenly.
"Ha Luha, you kid, you really know how to speak, okay, accept your words, the old man will live for another two hundred years, and be an immortal old guy......" The bearded old man Ha Lu Ha laughed.
Wu Lingfeng was secretly happy in his heart, but your sister has completed the task, and the man is not dead, just take him out of the oasis......
Sure enough, there is no fatal game in the game, there is a caravan that appears, Ha Lu Ha, it is really a mountain and a poor water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
The next morning, Wu Lingfeng and the man set off together, leading the way with the food and water given by the bearded old man.
After leaving the desert, Wu Lingfeng returned the Night Pearl to the man.
"Big brother, you better complete this task yourself, I'm right, we'll come out......"
"Well, thank you so much, in fact, I went to the Far East Sea to find this treasure in order to get the daughter of the city lord, and now I can finally complete the task, the city lord will definitely marry my daughter to me, thank you little brother......" The man was suddenly extremely excited.
"......"
At this time, the light in front of Wu Lingfeng's eyes flickered, so the scene disappeared, and he came to a golden hall...... (To be continued......)
