When Xie Yang, Wu Ji and Fang Tianqi reached the third stone monument, the sky above Jiuyin Mountain had turned into ashes of vegetation that had been knocked to the ground. There were gusts of wind around the three of them, and the white clouds seemed to be rolled up.

generally.

Wu Ji walked to the stone tablet and said, "This is the last hexagram image."

Xie Yang took a closer look and saw that this stone tablet was different from the previous two. There was no inscription on it, but a stone painting showing a very conspicuous river. Although the river was only carved

, but the lines are bold and flexible, making the whole painting lifelike.

"What a fast river." Xie Yang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"No." Wu Ji responded casually.

In addition to the river in the stone painting, there are river banks blocked by the river at both ends. There are people standing on the river banks on both sides. There is only one person on one side, holding a fish and a bear paw; on the other side, there is a group of people standing.

There was a raging fire burning behind them, and everyone looked panicked. Some opened their mouths and shouted, and some waved their arms vigorously, as if calling for help from the people on the other side.

This stone tablet seemed ordinary at first glance, but after Xie Yang stared at it for a long time, he soon realized that his already painful head hurt even more. Not only that, but the lines on the stone tablet also began to flow slowly as if they had been given life.

After noticing this strangeness, he immediately looked away and glanced at Fang Tianqi behind him. He saw that the latter was also staring at the stone tablet, but his eyes seemed a little dull.

"Master Fang?" Xie Yang frowned and shouted in a low voice, but Fang Tianqi didn't react at all. Instead, his body began to shake back and forth.

Xie Yang shouted softly, "Fang Tianqi?"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the young man with thick eyebrows fell face down to the ground with a "plop". Not only that, he also started snoring.

"What's going on with him?" Xie Yang said disgustedly.

"Maybe it's because the fog in the mountains is getting thicker and thicker, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he naturally fell asleep." Wu Ji said calmly.

"Is that so?" Xie Yang responded, and looked at Fang Tianqi again, always feeling a little strange. He thought that as the fog in the mountains became thicker, people would gradually fall into a demonic state, but he didn't expect that in the end it would just make people

Just asleep.

Wu Ji just glanced at Fang Tianqi, looking completely unworried, and his eyes quickly returned to the stone tablet.

He said, "There is a fire on one side of the river, and there is a person standing on the other side. It's interesting, it's really interesting."

"It is indeed interesting," Xie Yang said, "but I am more curious, what does the fish and bear paws in the hands of the man standing on the safe river bank mean?"

"Look, there is a line of words written on it." Wu Ji pointed at the stone tablet and said.

Xie Yang took a look and found that it was indeed the case. A few minutes ago, there was clearly only the stone painting on the stone tablet, but now a line of inscriptions appeared on the edge of the stone tablet.

Different from the words on the previous two stone tablets, this line of words is extremely simple and clear. Xie Yang looked at it and slowly read out, "Living alone can have the best of both worlds."

"The fish and bear's paw here are naturally what the man is holding," Wu Ji said.

Xie Yang did not respond immediately, but thought in silence for a long time, and then said, "The first two stone tablets both stated the requirements of the puzzle. One is how to save the village, and the other is how to save people. But this stone tablet

, what exactly do you want us to do?”

Wu Ji was originally staring at the stone tablet. After hearing these words, he turned to look at Xie Yang and said meaningfully, "Don't you see?"

"What do you see?" Xie Yang's eyebrows frowned slightly, partly because of his headache and partly because of Wu Ji's words.

"Living alone, you can have your cake and eat it too," Wu Ji looked at the words on the stone tablet and said slowly, "This time the hexagram has already told us the answer."

Xie Yang paused, glanced at the line of words, then looked at the painting, and was suddenly shocked.

"Living alone, you can have your cake and eat it too. Does this mean that as long as you survive alone, you can have both fish and bear's paws?" He whispered.

"That's what it means." Wu Ji nodded, "As long as the person holding the fish and bear paws ignores the people on the other side and leaves alone, he can enjoy the fish and bear paws to himself."

After hearing this, Xie Yang stood there, looking at the stone tablet, and did not move for a long time.

"Brother Zhang?" Wu Ji said, "Do you have any questions?"

When he asked this question, Xie Yang didn't hear the slightest fluctuation in his tone, but he always felt that there was something else underneath the sentence. He felt that his head was getting more and more painful, so he took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

Eyes said, "If there is a problem, of course I have a problem."

"What's the problem?" Wu Ji looked at Xie Yang with a dark expression.

"Why can this person save the fish and the bear's paws only by leaving alone?" Xie Yang said with cold eyes, "Could it be that if he saves the people on the other side, the fish and the bear's paws will be lost?"

"Yes, it will be lost," Wu Ji said, "You can look at the eyes of the people on the other side. Everyone in the world is greedy. If the people on the other side of the river are rescued and come to a safe side, they will definitely treat the fish and the bear.

Use the palm of your hand to rob."

"So we have to abandon them and let them burn to death?" Xie Yang raised his eyebrows.

Wu Ji was silent for a moment, "This is just a requirement on the stone tablet, we have no choice."

"Yes," Xie Yang sneered, "That's true. Everything written on the stone tablet is correct. However, the fish and bear paws in this man's hands must not refer to fish and bear paws, right?"

Wu Ji looked at Xie Yang, "What do you want to say?"

"You have also seen it," Xie Yang pointed to Fang Tianqi who fell on the ground, "This guy is not only mentally weak, but also lacks reason. In a sense, it is best if he is asleep now."

"Indeed," Wu Ji said, "when he fell asleep, he didn't need to read the contents on these stone tablets."

"You don't need to read the content on the stone tablets?" Xie Yang smiled, but a sharp blade seemed to flash through his eyes, "Oh, when you say this, you mean that there is something wrong with these stone tablets."

Wu Ji was slightly startled, "Huh?"

"If the first stone monument burns the young man to save the village, and the second stone monument gives up saving one of the people who fell off the cliff in order to save another person, I can understand both of these," Xie

Yang Lengran said, "But what does this third stone tablet, the so-called fish and bear's paws, mean?"

Wu Ji said nothing, but looked at Xie Yang with his pale eyes, his expression unpredictable.

"Does it refer to the sacrifices made to save the village? Does it refer to the choices made to save the people who fell off the cliff," Xie Yang said with sharp eyes, "or does it refer to simple interests?"

After hearing this, Wu Ji suddenly sighed and said in a very light tone, "Yeah, what exactly does it mean?"
