Chapter 83: Paradox [1st Update]

As soon as the door opened, everyone immediately saw everything inside.

It is a small room of only about 16 square meters, with a bed, a table, a cabinet, and a Taishi chair.

On the Taishi chair, there was an old man with a wrinkled face, his skin was very dark, wearing a black and purple dress, sitting quietly on the Taishi chair, looking at the people at the door motionlessly. The whole room is filled with an eerie smell that looks very weird!

The sudden appearance of such a room in the underground connection passage will make anyone who sees it tremble.

Xie Yeyu's face was normal, he had already known that there was such a mysterious old man here, so he could still maintain the mentality of being clear and the sky was not shocked, and walked in step by step. And the five people behind him, looking at the strange atmosphere inside, couldn't help but weaken their feet and tremble all over. But in the end, they still stubbornly followed Xie Yeyu and walked in.

When Xie Yeyu entered this room, the old man sitting on the Taishi's chair spoke, and a low and cold voice came out: "I have pursued supreme wisdom all my life, and I have lived in seclusion here until no one in the entire Marfa Continent can ask questions that I can't answer. But I was not willing to pass away, and I have been living until now. Stranger, can you surprise me, and if you can stump me, I will send you to a very magical place. ”

As soon as Xie Yeyu heard this, he was sure in his heart that this person was the key person leading to the magical "Unknown Dark Temple"!

It's just that this old man actually hoped that he could ask a question that would stump him, which was a bit unexpected.

However, after hearing this, Mina's whole face suddenly turned extremely pale, she looked at the mysterious old man, her whole body trembled, and she said with great fear: "Could it be ...... You...... You...... Are you the wise man of the ancient legends? ”

Hearing this, Ah Xun and the others were also suddenly shocked, and suddenly understood, Qi Qi looked at the old man, and instantly his face was bloodless with fright, and said in disbelief: "...... Ancient Civilization ...... A wise man in a legendary story? Survived to the present? ”

Xie Yeyu was inexplicable at this time, and quietly asked, "What wise man?" ”

Xiaoqing explained softly: "When we were children, we heard adults tell some myths and legends left over from ancient civilizations, and there is a story about the story of the wise man, legend has it that when the Marfa continent was not invaded by Walma and the orcs, there was a wise man, he knew everything, he knew everything, and traveled all over the Marfa continent, in order to be defeated, but no one could ask a question that he couldn't answer, and then suddenly disappeared. Legend has it that he was summoned by the god of the Marfa continent and left, but he didn't expect that he would be here and have lived until now, which is incredible. ”

And the mysterious old man, after saying that sentence, sat quietly on the Taishi chair, no longer spoke, as if he didn't hear the shocking words of Mina and the others, just silently looked at the leader Xie Yeyu, his face was very dark and silent.

After Xie Yeyu heard the identity of this mysterious old man clearly, he couldn't help but tremble in fright, although he knew that this old man must be very mysterious, but he had lived from the period when the ancient civilization had not been destroyed until now? That's at least 5,000 years old.

"What to do? Brother Night Rain? Let's ......" Mina said as she gently tugged at the corner of the back of her Night Rain soul suit, her heart now just wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.

Xie Yeyu glanced at her with a reassuring look, patted her hand lightly, then raised his head, his face was straight, he took a few steps forward, and walked in front of this wise man.

Seeing Xie Yeyu's reaction, the old man finally had a reaction, he raised his head, looked at Xie Yeyu who walked in front of him, and said in a very calm tone without a trace of expectation: "I'm here in the hidden drama, just waiting for someone who can find here, which can give me a trace of expectation." But I was disappointed again and again...... Ask your questions, kids......"

His tone was very calm, very confident, and very natural, as if he was saying to Mina, Xiaoqing, Ah Xun, Xie Yeyu and others: Ask questions, and then I will answer them for you, as for whether you can stump me, I don't have any expectations for this.

Xie Yeyu looked at the old man, looked at his wise eyes, and looked at his confident attitude, Xie Yeyu seriously recalled every word the old man said just now, and suddenly smiled.

Seeing Xie Yeyu's smile, Mina and the others suddenly had a premonition in their hearts, could it be that Brother Yeyu was more intelligent than this old man?

Xie Yeyu organized the language in his mind for a while, and then spoke: "Dear old man, every ship has a unique name, there is a ship, its name is 'Theseus' ship', whenever the parts on the hull are aging, please note that it is only aging and not damaged, then the workers will remove the old parts and replace them with new ones." Over time, all the parts on this ship were replaced. So, excuse me, is this ship still the 'ship of Theseus'? ”

When the mysterious old man heard this, his face suddenly showed a disappointed expression, obviously thinking that Xie Yeyu's question was too simple, so he sighed and said without thinking: "Of course, when the new parts are replaced, the new parts have been assimilated into one of the parts of the entire ship and become a part of this ship." And the name of the ship represents the ship's structure, shape, design concept, etc., all of which have not changed, so the answer is that it is still called 'Ship of Theseus'. ”

Hearing the old man's answer, Xie Yeyu was not nervous at all because of the disappointment on the old man's face, nodded at the old man very indifferently, kept a smile on his face, and then said: "In this case, the shipwrights reassembled all the aging old parts that were replaced before into one ship, so may I ask, which of these two ships is the real 'Ship of Theseus'?" ”

Hearing Xie Yeyu's words, the mysterious old man suddenly shook his whole body, and then froze. Then, he quickly closed his eyes, and his brain thought quickly.

Yes, which of these two ships is the ship of Theseus? If the later one is the ship of Theseus, but the ship that was reassembled is actually the original ship of Theseus that has not been replaced by the original; But if it was the ship of Theseus that was reassembled, what kind of ship was it now? At what point did the ship cease to be its own in the slow process of replacement?

Xie Yeyu looked at the mysterious old man's frowning brows, kept a smile on his face, and sat quietly like this.

This question is one of the top 10 paradoxes on Earth, and there is no answer at all. Even all the philosophers of the planet have been arguing over this question and have not yet come to a correct conclusion, or rather, there is no correct conclusion at all. How could this wise man on the Marfa continent be able to answer?

Mina and the others were silent when they saw this wise man, but Brother Yeyu was smiling, and suddenly it was like a shocking thunderbolt coming over, and the five people were shocked by Xie Yeyu, "Brother Yeyu actually stumped this wise man in ancient legends?" Oh, my God...... I'm not dreaming, am I?"

The wise man sat on the upper body of the Taishi's chair and thought about it with great difficulty. However, even if he started from what he saw and heard when he was born, to what he gained from his upbringing, to the precipitation of old age, he quickly thought about all his memories and analyzed and explored this problem, but found that even the wisdom of his life seemed to be unable to solve this problem. So, he became more and more excited, more and more excited, and his hands couldn't help but shake violently.

Then, he opened his eyes and stared at Xie Yeyu deadly, the old state of his face disappeared in an instant, the old man at this time seemed to have suddenly returned to the spirit of his prime, and the whole person changed from the previous twilight old state of waiting for death to the current state of rejuvenation, which has infinite curiosity!

At the same time, at this moment, his omniscient self-confidence disappeared, and his natural face was gone.

"Young man, I want to thank you for saving me. It was you who activated my thirst for knowledge and survival, and it was you who opened a new door to wisdom for me. I'll admit, I lost, this question, I can't answer. The old man said with a smile on his face.

When Mina and the others heard the old man's personal admitation, they immediately looked at Xie Yeyu with a strange look, it was an expression of awe of the gods, it was an incredible expression: Brother Yeyu, it really stumped this wise man!

Immediately afterwards, the wise man stood up from his Taishi chair, looked at Xie Yeyu with excited eyes, and said in a very expectant tone: "So, this young man, now can you tell me, what is the real answer?" I'd love to know! ”

Xie Yeyu shrugged his shoulders in the face of the expectant eyes of the wise man and the five Mina, and then said very frankly: "I don't know what the answer is!" ”

Suddenly, the wise man was stunned, and Mina and the others also took a few steps back, with a burst of surprise on their faces.

"Dear wise man, you said it at the beginning, hoping that I will be able to stump you. However, the answer to this difficult question, I must know myself, is something you have never said! Xie Yeyu smiled and said very casually, "Besides, if you can't think of an answer with your wisdom, how can I know the answer, but as long as I can stump you, I'll be fine, right?" ”
