Chapter 96 Qu Gao and Widow

"Hahaha..." Wang Xinran laughed wantonly.

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at her. Wang Xinran knew that Wu Zhongyuan was looking at her, but he couldn't help it. He almost died of laughter and coughed repeatedly.

"Why didn't you suffocate you?" Wu Zhongyuan looked disgusted.

"Haha, he was afraid that the words he wrote would fade after a long time, so he simply burned a porcelain vase with the words on it," Wang Xinran said with a smile, "This old thing really worked hard to tease you."

"Have you wiped the shit off your hands?" Wu Zhongyuan mocked.

Wang Xinran was not a serious person at all, he was very casual, he laughed when he wanted to, he kept laughing, he leaned forward and backward when he laughed.

Seeing her losing her composure with a smile, Lv Jiahui was puzzled, walked over to read the words on the porcelain vase, covered her mouth and walked away after reading it.

Zhang Shukai was relatively dull and didn't talk much, but the behavior of the three of them still aroused his curiosity, and he wanted to see it when he came over. Wu Zhongyuan simply gave him the porcelain bottle, "Give it to you."

Before seeing what was written on the porcelain bottle, Zhang Shukai was already prepared to restrain himself, but after seeing the words 'Deer Whip Great Tonic Pill', he still couldn't hold back his laughter. cough.

After thinking hard for a long time, but finally got such a bloody reward, it would be hard for anyone to feel depressed, but after thinking about it, Wu Zhongyuan was relieved. The risk and profit are directly proportional, and the punishment for opening the door is to wipe a dirty hand , the corresponding reward is a piece of rock candy, while Xiumen's punishment is bloody, and the reward is a kidney-tonifying elixir, punishment and reward are relative.

Walk through a stone gate and enter the third gate, Shengmen.

Shengmen is also a stone room, and there is also a stone platform in the stone room, but this stone platform has been broken, and the smell of gunpowder remains in the air. The stone platform should be blown to pieces by some kind of explosive.

To the north of the stone room, there is a stone box near the fourth stone gate. The size of the box is about the size of a microwave oven. At this time, the lid of the box has been lifted.

The floor of the stone chamber was covered with thick white dust, at least three or four centimeters thick.Like the second stone chamber, there are dense round holes on the top of this stone chamber, and the thick dust on the ground is undoubtedly ejected from those round holes on the top.

Lu Jiahui rubbed and inspected the white dust, "It should be plant ash."

"First come the bloody head, and then the disgraced face." Wu Zhongyuan said.

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Wang Xinran wanted to laugh again. The reason why she wanted to laugh was because Zhao Ying and the others were ashamed and embarrassed, but she also felt that the laughter was not serious enough, so she tried her best to hold it back.

"They may be very annoyed after being teased, so they blow up the stone platform angrily." Zhang Shukai said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, walked northward, and walked over to check the stone box in front of the stone gate. The stone box is empty now, but there should be something inside it before.

When Wu Zhongyuan was checking the stone box, Wang Xinran came over, "There is dust in the stone box, which means it was opened before they triggered the mechanism."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer the question. It stands to reason that the things in the stone box should be rewards from Shengmen, but since Zhao Ying and others triggered the mechanism, it means that they failed to answer the question correctly. Since they answered wrongly, why are there rewards.

Confused, he tried to push the stone box, and after a push, the stone box moved.

Hit the stone slab below the stone box, there is no echo, which shows that there is no mechanism for pushing and moving below, and the stone box was originally placed outside.

"This stone gate was blocked from the inside." Wang Xinran pointed to the stone gate to the north and said.

Wu Zhongyuan was thinking about other things and didn't answer.

After inspecting the stone box, Wu Zhongyuan turned around and walked towards the shattered stone platform. Although the stone platform was shattered, it can still be put together.

In addition to the gravel, the wreckage of the stone platform also has many twisted metal connecting rods. These connecting rods should be transmission devices. The main body of the mechanism is hidden in the stone wall. Depending on the operation of the stone platform, different mechanisms will be triggered, or rewards will be given. or give punishment.

The stone platform was seriously damaged. Even if the stone platform was pieced together, it might not be able to trigger the corresponding mechanism. However, Wu Zhongyuan did not put together the stone platform to get the reward here, but just wanted to find out why the stone box was placed here.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan wanted to put together the stone platform, the three of them also came over to help. The supporting stone pier was useless, so the four of them put it together directly from the ground.

Soon, the broken stone platform was pieced together, the style was similar to the previous stone platform, there were also some round holes, and there were some characters, and on the far right was a column of relatively large characters, 'retired in spite of difficulties, took the stone Let go of the things in the letter. '

The appearance of this series of words directly solved the doubts in Wu Zhongyuan's heart, the stone box was placed there deliberately by Zuo Ci.

In addition to this column of relatively large characters, there are three columns of small characters on the stone platform. The first column is "What is the most important thing in life?" ' On the left side of this column of small characters, there are five round holes arranged up and down, and there are small characters above each hole, which are respectively'I, King, Limin, Parents, Wife and Children. '

"This is a three-choice question." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It may seem simple, but it actually hides Taoist principles, and most people can't answer it correctly."

"How should I choose the first one?" Wang Xinran asked.

"How would you choose?" Wu Zhongyuan asked back.

Wang Xinran did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Lu Jiahui, "How do you choose?"

Lu Jiahui thought for a while, "Should I choose Li Min?"

Wang Xinran looked at Zhang Shukai who was standing on his left. Zhang Shukai didn't want to answer, but Wang Xinran kept looking at him. He had no choice but to say, "I think it's my parents."

Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan again.

"Let me ask you, what do you see me doing?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Aren't they right?" Wang Xinran asked back.

"Leave them alone, just tell me what you think?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Would it be selfish if I chose the first one?" Wang Xinran laughed at himself.

"The first one should be right." Wu Zhongyuan said, "In the view of Taoism, 'I' is the root of everything. Without 'I' even the world does not exist, let alone the king and the people. A person who treats himself well does not One must be kind to others, but if a person is not kind to himself, he will definitely not be kind to others.”

"You are more important than your parents?" Zhang Shukai's expression was not very good.

"But if a matter is related to your own destiny, and your opinion is inconsistent with that of your parents, who do you choose to listen to?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Zhang Shukai did not answer.

"Aren't you a bit selfish and narrow-minded?" Lv Jiahui said in a low voice.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "Zuo Ci's question is just asking who is the most important person in the world. It is a philosophical question and does not involve moral aspects. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom, but I can guarantee that in his opinion, the first choice is correct."

"It's a pity that the mechanism has been broken, and I can't verify whether your answer is correct." Wang Xinran smiled.

"Although the stone platform is broken, the connecting rod below is still there. Pressing the connecting rod should also trigger the mechanism." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Then how should I answer the second one?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer right away, the second question was "choose one", there are still five round holes on the left side, and above each hole there is an idiom "Repaying hatred with virtue, the law of heaven is clear, the foolishness will not change, self-restraint and rites, death will become benevolence" . '

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at her again, Wang Xinran waved his hands again and again, "Don't ask us anymore, you can figure it out yourself."

Wu Zhongyuan said, "These five idioms are all from the Analects, Zuo Ci should have read the Analects."

"Choose one is to let you choose one of these five idioms?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "These five idioms all contain an attitude or view of life, and he wanted me to choose the correct one in my opinion."

"Aren't these five idioms correct?" Wang Xinran was puzzled.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "That's your opinion. In his opinion, only one is right."

Wang Xinran stared at the slate, "I don't think he should be the kind of person who repays grievances with kindness."

"Thoughts determine action," Wu Zhongyuan said. "It cannot be said that he is not the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue. It should be said that in his opinion, it is not correct to repay grievances with virtue. Why repay virtue with virtue? Give you food every day and beat you every day." People, you laugh at others, who will give you food? They will beat you."

"It seems that you and him are the same way." Wang Xinran said with a smile.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again, "You can't say that. Some of my ideas are similar to his because he is a Taoist, and my master is also a Taoist. I have been influenced by Taoism since I was a child."

"What about the second one?" Wang Xinran asked.

"The law of heaven should be ruled out." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Reason." Wang Xinran said.

"Tianli Zhaozhao means that God can uphold justice," Wu Zhongyuan said, "If you are wronged, you don't seek justice yourself, but hope that God will uphold justice. To resist, to say 'I don't have the same knowledge as you', to pretend that you have qualities to cover up your cowardice is a reason."

"Needless to say, it is definitely correct to be stupid." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "At least in his opinion, it is correct. Being stupid means that it is difficult to change the thinking of foolish people. Confucius actually said a big truth, but this sentence is easy to cause public outrage in modern times. "

"This person's three views are not correct." Zhang Shukai said seriously.

"This is what Confucius said, not Zuo Ci." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhang Shukai was speechless, because Confucius is now admired and studied by the world, how could he dare to say that the three views of Confucius were not correct.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "Zuo Ci knows how to use spells, so he doesn't have to follow some rules in the world, that's why he dares to speak out, say what he wants to say, and do what he wants to do. If he didn't know how to use spells, he would have been arrested a long time ago. His head was beheaded. But even so, he is too humble to have a bosom friend."

"There is one last question." Wang Xinran urged.

The third question roughly means how to deal with the offense of others. In forgiveness, tolerance, counterattack, connivance, and persuasion, Wu Zhongyuan chose to counterattack without hesitation. The reason is that forgiveness and tolerance will encourage crime, and connivance will lose light. And persuasion is definitely useless, because a person who dares to offend himself will definitely not listen to preaching.

Find the corresponding connecting rod and press it accordingly.

The answer is correct, trigger the mechanism, and a slight vibration came from the stone chamber...
