Chapter 1374: Three Questions

If the old man can speak, and speak clearly, it must be because someone will always come.

And what is this place?

It's a cave!

How many years have it been since someone last came?

So, who did he communicate with during this time?

How many more years did he live?

There are still many doubts.

It's just this, Lu Yu knows that he must not ask.

He smiled lightly and said, "I just want to ask, how many floors are there in this cave, and what are there at the bottom, what do we gain, and what do we lose?"

The old man thought for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, I can't answer these questions. The only thing that can tell you is that this level is not so easy to go down, you need to answer me a question, and if you answer it correctly, you can go ahead and not answer, or answer incorrectly, you need to leave, go back the way you came from, and never enter here again in this life. ”

The corners of Lu Yu's eyes twitched, glanced at everyone, and then said, "That...... Just ask. ”

The old man asked directly, "Who are you, where did you come from, and where are you going?"

This question made Lu Yu almost choke to death from his own spit.

He thought that the other party would come up with a puzzle, or some knowledge on how to fight against the underworld, or even test whether a person is righteous, but he really didn't expect that it would be such a problem.

This question is not difficult, but the difficult thing is that it does not have a standard answer.

If you want to answer correctly, you can only use the form of 'hedging', that is, the answerer and the questioner think the same, then even if it is correct, if it is different, even if the answer is more mysterious and mysterious, it is in vain, not a 'standard answer'.

Lu Yu was stumped, because he didn't know the old man, so naturally he didn't know what the answer was in his mind.

On the contrary, the others were indeed stunned for a while, and then their faces were relaxed.

Damon, in particular, walked out directly and said loudly: "I'm Damon, from the city-state of Delsa, Windy City, and want to go to the lowest level of this cave!

After listening to him, everyone regretted it, and secretly wondered why they didn't stop this guy in time?

Not only would the old man not be satisfied with this answer, but even everyone present felt that Damon's answer was a bit idiotic.

Lu Yu smiled bitterly, and then said: "This question is really difficult, and all of us are together, like this...... If one of us gets it right, it's all of us, right? To be honest, it's really the hardest problem I've ever had in my life. ”

The old man smiled and nodded, "Naturally." ”

Only then did everyone feel relieved, but they immediately reacted again, and they became even more nervous.

If the other party can agree so easily, then the answer to this question ...... It's probably harder than they think.

Noah thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "I am Noah, I come from ruins and ruins, and I want to go to a place of light and tranquility. ”

What he said was a little ethereal and very meaningful, but the old man just smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything.

The corners of Noah's eyes twitched, and then she retreated.

Both of them failed, and the others came up with their own statements, and then stepped forward in turn, but they could not get an affirmative answer from the old man.

Only Lu Yu and Xiao Ruan were left in the audience.

Lu Yu smiled bitterly, so he had to step forward, and then said: "Who am I? In my previous life and this life, I was called Lu Yu, which can be regarded as a coincidence, but the name is just a name, I am just a mortal, that's all." Where did I come from? I came from another world, I should have been reincarnated as a soul, and I survived in this world. I never knew what I was pursuing all my life, and sometimes I was tired of running around the continent because of a little thing, some things were my own, some things were self-inflicted, some things were ...... But it had nothing to do with me, but I did it anyway, doing my best, even forgetting about life and death. But I think, I always have a pursuit, right? What do I want? I have told myself countless times that what I want is a quiet and peaceful life, a plain life, a stable life, for this purpose, so I do not hesitate to change the whole world! But ...... Recently, I've been thinking that maybe I'm just not idle, always thinking about a peaceful life, but a peaceful life will become boring, and I will become worthless, and if I don't have value, everything I value will be far away from me. What I want may still be financial benefits, a high position, maybe...... It's just that I want to find something for myself to do. After all, people have to have something to do in order to live, isn't it? So if you ask me where I want to go? I don't know where I go. I once heard a story about a man who suddenly wanted to run, and then ran from one end of the continent to the other, and then turned back from the other end, and ran back again, and so on, many people heard about him, and followed him, guessing his various purposes, and even using him to derive a lot of thinking, but he just wanted to run, he didn't want to be still, he didn't want to stay, he just wanted to run, from one place to another, doing what he was good at, you asked him for the purpose? No, doing things is a purpose in itself, maybe it is because there is no purpose, there is no goal, that it can only be like this. Until one day he suddenly stopped, without any major incident, without any violent psychological struggle, he stopped like this, and no matter how stunned and puzzled the people who followed him, he just said a word...... Go home. Maybe the place I want to go is a place that I can call home. ”

After speaking, Lu Yu grinned at the old man.

Some things have been held in my heart for a long time, but after all, I still say them, and when I finish speaking, I don't care if this is the answer to the question, or whether it is correct or not, anyway...... Speak up.

Just as Lu Yu thought, the old man still smiled, and then said nothing.

He was wrong.

But for himself, he felt that he was barely right.

People, even Lu Yu, on the surface, seems to be able to understand the whole world, but in fact, he doesn't even know himself.

In the end, the last one left was Xiao Ruan.

She walked up gently, then glanced at Lu Yu, nodded, and then turned to the old man and said: "I don't know who I am, I was born in a peasant family, and when I was not sensible, I was sold into the Lu family, and the woman gave me the name Xiao Ruan, and the young master gave me his surname, so although I don't know what my identity is, my name is Lu Xiao Ruan." I came here because of a mistake, my father said, it was because I didn't pay attention after a drink, which made my mother give birth to me, I was unplanned, and my family couldn't afford to support it, so I was sold. As for where I want to go, I will go wherever the young master goes, and I just want to be by his side, even if he wants to drive me away one day. ”
