Red Heart Survey

The stories told by [The Nameless One] can explain past questions and fill the gaps in history. It is simply embedded in history.

But Jiang Wang only listened and said nothing, not daring to believe everything.

This transcendent person is close to omniscience. He not only knows many secrets, but also knows many questions in people's hearts. It is really easy to tell a lie and fill in a few so-called historical truths.

Over there, Dou Zhao just looked at the sword of Emperor Chu, and devoted himself to the study of the imperial swordsmanship. Although with his status, Chu Yiying Zangfa had no cover for him, but how could he be as good as the emperor? What about personal demonstration?

Every time the Scarlet Phoenix Emperor Sword moves downward, the very foundation of the existence of the [Nameless One] is shattered. In Douzhao's realm, although he cannot capture the specific process, he can still feel the interpretation of the sword's intention.

However, Zuo Xiao's voice sounded leisurely: "The so-called 'Great Saint' originally conceived by the saints should not be what you are now, right?"

[The Nameless One] lowered his eyes and looked at his broken body. Through the sword wounds that spread all over his body, he could see under the skinny legs with withered flesh and blood, the deep hollow and bottomless abyss belonging to the Abi Ghost Cave.

The process of moving his gaze was already very slow, and he slowly lowered and raised it, reluctantly looking at Zuo Xiao: "I look like this... If your road is cut off because of this, you won't be willing to accept it!"

He took a deep breath: "This is indeed the case. The Dacheng Shengsheng that I first envisioned in Wuyuan Ridge is a great existence that is extremely complete and an idea that is almost impossible to realize. We live in the most splendid world. era, but no one can take that step immediately.”

"Especially Mozu's warning let us know that that kind of terror is approaching, and we don't have much time. We made up our minds in the disaster, and what we want to achieve is a weapon that is infinitely close to the 'Dacheng Holy' - named 'Tian Yan Zhi Sheng'!"

“We think about it all, this is the solution to no solution, the road to nowhere.”

"We completely erased history, cut our plans out of the years, and hid them in the lost time, hoping to fight against the real terror. Use secrets to kill secrets, and use infinite power to kill the eternal existence. "

"The Great Dao is fifty and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. What we want to achieve is a holy body that can evolve all the Great Dao and evolve the ultimate great power. In the end, Confucian Patriarch and Fazu will take the lead and control the Heavenly Evolution to Holy, challenge that terror!"

"In the end, as you can see - we failed!"

There was almost no luster in the eyes of [The Nameless One], it was a kind of exhaustion and bleakness, a cry of despair: "What kind of era did we live in, do you know?"

“What we couldn’t do back then, can we succeed in this life?”

No one spoke.

But He felt the fighting spirit of these people, and no one wavered.

Among them, such as Jiang Wang, Dou Zhao, Prince Chu, and Master Chu, these young elites, their wills are as high as a blazing fire.

Young people will never despair of the world.

"The present will win over the past" is not a slogan, but this vigorous mood.

[The Nameless One] was silent for a moment, but then raised his eyes in front of the sinking Red Phoenix Emperor Sword: "The so-called hundreds of schools of thought, it is said that there are over a thousand of each school, but there are only a few hundred schools of thought that really have huge influence. Some of them have the same ancestry—"

"In terms of military strategists who inherited the military skills of ancient sages, they can be divided into military strategy, military situation, military yin and yang, and military skills. There are thirteen strategists, who are 'the one who wins without fighting'; there are eleven strategists, who pay attention to situation. 'The camera moves, and the momentum is unpredictable'; there are sixteen schools of yin and yang, 'using punishment as a counterweight to yin, using virtue as a source of yang, combining the principle of the five elements to create and restrain, and deciding the opportunity in the will of heaven'; there are thirteen schools of skill , training troops and setting up formations, equipment and machinery, wooden kites and flowing horses are all among them."

"The process of a hundred schools of thought contending is nothing more than an eclectic process, one eclipses the other, eliminates the essentials and retains the essentials. Doctrines that cannot stand the test of time will eventually be washed away by history, and in the process of washing away, a holy name is condensed."

"When [Lotus Holy World] was created, our era also reached its peak. There were hundreds of false saints, hundreds of minor saints and sub-sages, seventeen true saints, and three supreme saints. Zun, he is called the Confucian Patriarch, the French Patriarch, and the Mohist Patriarch.”

"We jointly created the 'Tianyan Supreme Sage' and started the war that was annihilated in the depths of time - the final outcome was that all the saints were transformed, and the Confucian saints and the Dharma saints fell asleep. I also became what you are. This is what I saw.”

He hung there, as if waiting for the final drying outcome: "I am a remnant of that era. In order to preserve the legacy of the saints and retain the hope to fight against that terror, I hid in the Forest of Fallen Immortals, living in humiliation day after day. Live!"

"We failed, but I didn't give up. I am familiar with yin and yang, and I was lucky enough to retain my will under that huge disaster. Just like this, I hid alone in the Fallen Fairy Forest, trying my best to hide myself, and picked up bit by bit. It’s been a long time to pick up the remains of the ‘Tianyan Supreme Saint’ and work hard to piece together our old aspirations, but I have forgotten the passage of time. I just want to complete my eternal life and complete the dream of becoming the Supreme Saint. , try every means to make up for the regrets of our time. "

"I am clearly detached from the world and coexist with the sun and moon, better than the sun and moon. As long as I close my eyes and don't see the suffering of all sentient beings, as long as I sing to the wine and don't recall my past ideals, no disaster will come. My body, I could have eternal freedom!”

"But...it's such a pity."

"We have created such a splendid era together and have so many beautiful expectations for this world. Are we going to forget them all in the end?"

"All like-minded people have died. Love and hate are just the dust and smoke of history."

"I knew no one would understand me."

"But I'm still going to do it."

[The Unnamed Man] looked at everyone present with sad eyes: "Maybe the world today only hates me, but I still love this world deeply. This is what I have been doing all my life, and my ideal is in it."

"That sounds very touching. Of all the transcendent beings I have heard of and seen, you are the only one who shows a weak attitude. I even thought I was the transcendent being bullying you here!" Dou Zhao took back his words. The gaze of the Scarlet Phoenix Emperor Sword: "Would you like to explain why you want to eat me? This doesn't suit your weak position."

"There is no excuse for this. Although I care about the world, I am not fair to you two. So if you two cut me to pieces today, I will have no regrets or complaints."

[The Unnamed Man] sighed: "Actually, we were not sure about that battle back then, and we even foresaw the unfortunate ending. Before leaving the disaster, we were all prepared for the misfortune. We also left behind in various ways. Tradition and inheritance.”

At this point, [The Nameless One]'s emotions became complicated: "As you all know, the inheritance of all saints is passed down in different ways. But our Yin Yang family is an exception, because the person I trust the most - named 'Yin Yang' Zheng Shao and Zhao Fanlu of Xiaosheng betrayed me!"

"They were seduced by the evil ancestor of Bodhi and fell into the water of disaster. They dumped my life's accumulation into the sea of ​​evil!"

At this moment, the eyes of the [Unknown Man] could no longer tell whether they were sad or happy: "The fate of those who seek skin from tigers has been recorded throughout history. They want to use the power of the evil ancestor Bodhi to become the sage of yin and yang, but of course they are swallowed by the tiger in the end. Drowning in the sea of ​​evil.”

"Dou Zhao, Jiang Wang."

In the state of being killed, He showed a kind of heart-to-heart frankness: "I know that you met Zheng Shao and Zhao Fanlu in the small world of Wude, and were able to accept the inheritance of the Yin and Yang family, but that is no longer true. They are the remnants of a longer time ago, the true meaning I left behind. The time when Dou Zhao was practicing in the Abi Ghost Cave, I also intentionally gave you support and helped you fulfill your daydream. That time, I helped Jiang Wang replenish the sea of ​​subconsciousness. Of course, my intentions were not good."

"I lost too much in that catastrophe. I need to get back the true meaning of yin and yang to reconcile myself and truly control the power of Tianyan's Holy Saint."

"So I want to wait until you all reach the peak, when the yin and yang are balanced, I will take you as a pill."

"I cannot discuss this matter with anyone, nor can I ask for your consent."

"My loneliness cannot be shared with others, and my war can only be fought alone. The horrors I have to face are beyond what any of you can imagine."

"This is unfair to you. But I have no choice."

Finally He let out a long sigh.

"My story is finished."

He closed his eyes: "You can make a choice."

"What choice...are you talking about?" Chu Tianzi pressed his face with one hand and held the sword with the other. He did not hesitate for a moment from beginning to end, and continued to kill the power that maintained the life of the transcendent. And at the moment when [Nameless Man] closed his eyes, he held the Imperial Sword and sank for the last time, splitting [Nameless Man]'s rugged body vertically into two pieces!

The rolling power of the country crushed the remaining body.

The emperor's dragon energy consumes immortality.

Transcendence and annihilation, eternal severance!

He listened to the story without moving his sword.

"Should I crush your bones and raise your ashes, or whip your corpse for three days and then crush your bones and raise your ashes?"

Under the Scarlet Phoenix Emperor's Sword, there is never a choice.

As mentioned before, he is a majestic and overbearing emperor, and he does not come here to give the [Nameless One] a choice.

[The Nameless One]'s physical body has been separated, and his eyes can no longer open. But He still had the last remaining will, so he murmured: "If tonight is my eternal night, then today is also the end of the world. I have experienced the most beautiful world in this world, what a pity..."

"If killing you will usher in the doomsday, then let the doomsday come as soon as possible." Standing on the cliff of the ghost cave, Huang Weizhen lightly dusted the corners of his clothes, as if dusting off some dirty things: "This world If my hope can only be pinned on monsters like you, then this world is really not worthy of my appreciation at all!"

[The Nameless One] told a rather long story, but he was not interested in the story.

He is not the listener of stories, He is the one who creates them.

What is engraved in history is His experience, and the future is being changed by Him.

The horror described by this ancient transcendent person could not bring him any waves at all.

After he returned from the fantasy, he had no energy left to do anything and remained entangled in this battle.

Nearly two years is a long time!

"Everyone." Ksitigarbha was standing on the other side of the cliff of the ghost cave, with a compassionate smile on his face. At this time, he put his hands together in salute, then stretched out his hands and faced the body of the [Unknown One]: " As promised, this is my fate.”

He wants to take away the body of [The Nameless One] as a reward for this cooperation.

The promises made must be fulfilled, and the cause and effect must be repaid.

Emperor Chu and Huang Weizhen on the cliff looked at each other, and then moved their wide-open fingers away from the wrinkled face of [The Nameless Man].

The two halves of the [Unnamed Man]'s body were still glued together, and they did not fall immediately.

At the last moment, this body, which could almost be called a corpse, closed its eyes and raised its head slightly: "I, Zou Huiming, have had regrets, pains, failures, and sorrows in my life, but after all, I can say that I am worthy of myself. Worthy of all my original ideals about this world..."

"Feel sorry--"

Zhuge Yixian's voice rang out among the waves of the galaxy in Zhanghuatai.

The sad ending of a transcendent person was interrupted like this.

Zhuge Yixian, who could be called a child in front of the "Unknown Man", actually sounded older than the "Unknown Man" at this moment, too old to be true.

He was old but very powerful, and said very calmly: "You are the predecessor of the sage, no matter what, you have made contributions to the human race. The younger generation was born late, and I should not disturb your last words. But there are mistakes in the facts, and I have to Point out. Just like what you said for me earlier when you stood in for me in the Urn of Transcendence - 'The people of Chu will set up an inscription on the [Unknown One] in the Forest of Meteor to write down the life of the [Unknown One]. ]'s death, the ending written in stone'..."

He praised: "You really understand me and speak your heartfelt words for me!"

The corpse of the [Unknown One] seemed to have completely turned into a corpse and did not respond.

But Zhuge Yi first knew that he could still hear: "On the inscription of your name on the stele, please forgive me for not being able to write the three words 'Zou Huiming'. On the one hand, it will insult the true saint of Yin and Yang, and on the other hand, it will inevitably cause the world to abandon the holy name." , a hundred years later, who will know your famous sage Gongsun Xi?"

Rumble, rumble!

The sky that was calm just now was suddenly filled with thunder snakes dancing wildly, and the clouds were about to fall.

But Huang Weizhen just raised her palm and touched everything, and everything disappeared.

[The Nameless One] suddenly opened his eyes!

Like a fish that was dead on the shore, it suddenly stood up.

But He is already dying!

He no longer had the power to resist.

Under the gaze of the three transcendent battle powers, He could do nothing.

He couldn't do anything anymore, but he still twisted so hard.

The two halves of the body that had been separated were twisted in different postures.

Half wants to jump up, half wants to sink.

He has shown his emotions many times, but never once has he lost his composure like this...a real loss of composure!

Even when this transcendental body was beheaded to death by Emperor Chu, he did not act like this.

"I thought you could accept death calmly!" Zhuge Yixian's voice was unusually intense.

"I am already a dying body and will soon perish forever. Even if I have done some wrong things that will hinder Chu and make other people hate me. There is no need to speak like this at such a moment." [The Nameless One] is almost gone Among the decaying remains, there was a mournful sigh: "Of course I can't do anything anymore, but after death, do even names have to be changed and deeds have to be grafted?"

"It's not hard to confirm your name. The plan in life only ends with this one!" Zhuge Yixian's voice said: "I should also clear up your doubts, lest you wait for the opportunity to come back and never be able to It’s okay to be evil if you take advantage of the opportunity, but there are still things related to you in this world, and I can’t feel at ease.”

He really respected the [Unknown One], but his murderous intention was so determined that it was beyond description.

He has done everything he can! Of course I want everything I can get.

Zhang Huatai gave Zhuge Yixian support, so that although his voice was old, it was grand: "At your feet is the Abi Ghost Cave, the place where the ghosts of the Meteor Fairy Forest originated, and it is also the place where ghosts are the most abundant in the world. Back then, this place was still It’s not called the Fallen Immortal Forest, but the saints are indeed planning great things here. As the mastermind, the Yin Yang True Sage chose this place because of its strong ghost energy.”

"You say you are the Yin and Yang True Sage. The Ghost Sage still exists in the world, but it is of no use to the ghost realm and useless to the Abi Ghost Cave - I don't believe it."

"The only condition for our acquiescence to the erection of Tiangong City is that Tiangong City be built on top of Abi Ghost Cave, in order to isolate you from possible claims on Abi Ghost Cave - it turns out that you don't need it."

"The Taoist master of Shanhai returned, and the ghost phoenix Lianhong was born, which greatly benefited the ghost way. The first time Lianhong was born, he flew around the meteor forest. What do you think it is looking for? If the ghost saint exists, there should be a Taoist manifestation. And you are silent and nameless.”

"These few incidents are enough to shake your identity as the True Saint of Yin and Yang. And yet you call yourself the True Saint of Yin and Yang, but you still want to swallow Douzhao and Jiang Wangcheng Dan! Isn't it ridiculous?"

"What is the lost true meaning? I went to Song Bodhi to besiege and kill Meng Tianhai in the flood of disasters. I picked up clouds and dreams and traveled around the world where the five virtues were destroyed. I saw the remnants of the Yin and Yang Little Saints. There was no sin at all. On the contrary, they were resisting Bodhi. Died during the evil ancestor’s invasion!”

"How can there be any truth in what you said?"

"The truth is not that simple..." [The Nameless One] gasped in pain, as if to feel his vanished life: "You are deceived by what you have seen one-sidedly."

"The truth I have seen allows me to get rid of the lies of a transcendent person like you!" Zhuge Yixian's voice said: "I believe that the nameless existence hidden in the Fallen Immortal Forest must be one of the saints. But if If it’s not the True Sage of Yin and Yang, who could it be?”

"I deliberately told Mr. Zuo in the Transcendence Urn that the transcendent person in the Fallen Immortal Forest is most likely the True Sage of Yin and Yang. This conversation is just to give you an entry point to take advantage of the situation, and you really call yourself the Ghost Sage. name!"

"Because you know him best and are the most confident in interpreting him."

"You know the Yin-Yang True Saint too well. You talk about many things, just like being by his side. The one who accompanies the Yin-Yang True Saint to pay homage to the Holy Saint is you, right? The one who went to Wuyuan Ridge to save the Yin-Yang True Saint, and finally The one who only picked up the ghosts was you—the best friend of Yin Yang True Saint, the famous True Saint Gongsun Xi!”

"I believe that you and Ghost Saint were once very close and had the most sincere trust in each other. He was indeed betrayed in the end, but I think it was not Yin and Yang who betrayed him, but you."

"You want the true meaning of Yin and Yang but can't get it. It's precisely the two sages of Yin and Yang who stick to the ghost saint's last wish and never leave the disaster water until death. There is the holy world of lotus and the gate of the world of mortals. You can't get it after asking for it, but Dou Zhao and Jiang Wang can get it. Inheritance, so you have been waiting for them to reach their peak, am I right?”

"Although the Mohist ancestor has disappeared, the Mohist inheritance still exists, so the word 'Mo' has been passed down to the world, so the world still knows that there is a Mohist ancestor."

"You have gained experience from it. In order to completely hide your name, you have long abandoned the holy knowledge."

"Therefore, the famous scholars who are most adaptable stick to the rules of the sages and refuse to change a word. As a result, the theory of death in seven generations is the earliest part of the theory of hundreds of schools of thought to die out. It's not that your descendants are unwilling to change, it's that you don't allow it. . Am I right?”

"It's not just famous people who have cut off their inheritance. The process of cutting off famous people is unreasonable! This is one of the reasons why I doubt you."

"Please give Zhang Huatai a try!"

In Zhanghua Taichung, there was a lot of noise at this time. Everyone was having a heated discussion, each using his wisdom and eloquence. What he discussed was either "Ten Topics on Historical Objects" or "Twenty-one Debate Matters". There is the debate of firmness and whiteness, the debate of thick and thin, the debate of white horse, the debate of name and reality, the debate of two alternatives, the debate of right and wrong, the debate of origin, the debate of presence and absence, the debate of disorder, the debate of similarities and differences...

The inheritance of the famous masters has been extinguished, but most of the essence scattered in various schools has been taken out. At this moment, in Zhanghuatai, Chu people are using their talents to demonstrate repeatedly!

[The Nameless One], in such a state of decline, almost uncontrollably bloomed with brilliance.

Famous masters inherit their names and restore their names!

Zhang Huatai rumbled, and the entire Fallen Immortal Forest fell into a solemn silence.

Only Zhuge Yixian's voice roared again and again.

The [Nameless One] did not immediately die, but seemed to be aroused by some kind of obsession and could not rest in peace. He said in a low voice: "I know hundreds of schools of thought and am knowledgeable. I have said a lot, but it's just...taken for granted!"

"I understand. You want evidence, more solid evidence, so that you can accept the eternal demise, the proof of iron and blood..." Zhuge Yixian's voice said: "You know why the Fallen Immortal Forest is so big, we But did he choose to crucify you in the Abi Ghost Cave?"

Everyone could hear Zhuge Yi breathing hard for a while. After he recovered, he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chu Tianzi's expression was hidden behind Qizhu, but he did give Zhuge Yixian unreserved support. He raised his hand and pressed the bottom of the ghost cave——

Buzz!

A long, boundary-breaking buzz!

Everyone could see that a bronze Changge surrounded by black energy suddenly flew out from the bottomless ghost cave.

The rust is still there, and the traces of blood are clearly immortal.

For a moment, murderous intent surged into the sky, constantly washing away the remains of the transcendent person.

[The turtle is long-lived]!

The great general of Wei State, Wu Xunzhi, sent troops.

He was also the soldier of Zongheng True Saint Pang Min back then.

Of course Abi Ghost Cave is not connected to the netherworld, but the yin and yang are connected, and the ghost energy is so strong that there is no difference between it and not.

The most famous soldiers who conquered the Netherworld jumped into this world.

[The Nameless One] lowered his head stiffly in the air, his deeply wrinkled eyelids were cut open by murderous aura, and a pair of turbid and bloody eyeballs were exposed!

He happened to see the bronze spear rushing towards Him.

He was instantly pecked in the face by this Chang Ge!

It's not that Wu Xun has such great power, it's the cause and effect of [Turtle's longevity] itself.

Beings like Ksitigarbha can especially see that the drop of blood on [Gui Suishou] is the blood of [Nameless One].

[The Nameless One] must also remember, of course, that this was the trauma Pang Min had inflicted on him back then!

After he became the master of the 'Tianyan Holy Body' and achieved enlightenment and transcendence, this drop of blood nourished by Pang Min's murderous intention also became immortal.

It was as if I had never left Him.

Now it becomes the cause of His demise.

[Gui Suishou] has never forgotten the man named "Gongsun Xi".

Is this revenge from Pang Min?

But at this time, [The Nameless One] thinks more about not the past, but today...

Since the Chu people were able to invite Wu Xun's [Guishu Shou], they could also invite Wu Xun's Immortal Palace of Soldiers.

If Jiang Wang couldn't invite him, the Weapon Immortal Palace and the Beast Controlling Immortal Palace could also become the starting point in the Fallen Immortal Forest.

Zhuge Yi has indeed made too many preparations for today that may not be needed!

That young man on Jiaowu Mountain had been hiding in Zhang Huatai for so many years. Was it just to avoid being discovered by him about his plans? How long has this person been planning for today?

But He didn't have time to be shocked until today!

"There is no human world in the world, and the Three-way Bridge must have three ways..." [The Nameless One] murmured, and his consciousness that seemed to never fade away was finally disappearing.

But Zhuge Yixian's voice continued: "Your funeral is not completely over yet. You still need to persist a little longer - thank you, Taoist Master of Shanhai!"

Huang Weizhen then pressed her palm.

[The Nameless One]'s Taoist body suddenly trembled, and his eyes once again glowed with divine light!

The power of the fantasy to come true prevented his final consciousness from being completely dispersed.

He was about to die, but he couldn't die so easily, and he couldn't die incompletely.

At this moment, confusion finally surged in his exposed bulging eyes! "Why... is it like this!"

"Did... I really do something wrong?"

"No!"

He suddenly became excited: "You don't understand how much effort I have put in!"

"You don't know what I am fighting against..."

"Only I can fight against it!"

"Those people...we...what they are going to do is impossible! I am the only one who is truly awake. I made the only correct choice. I retained our power! And I also retained the hope of this world!!!"

"I love you! I love this world! I fight for the human race! Why do you treat me like this, why!?!"

But his hysteria ended here.

Because another big flag came across the sky, and the fluttering flag drowned his madness.

The majestic figure standing in the sky, standing side by side with Huaiguogong Zuo Xiao, wearing a bronze ghost mask and a duke's armor, came with a strong army, and gathered soldiers and fierceness...

Duke Anguo of Da Chu, Wu Zhaochang!

This duke came with a large army, and Da Chu already has two dukes here!

The Duke of Da Chu, who had entered the forest in despair because of the death of his grandson Wu Ling, searched for traces everywhere but could not find any, and howled in vain in the forest, is now drumming up his army and coming to kill with force!

He also brought his [Evil Face] of the Six Divisions of Da Chu!

The Evil Face Army is made up of ghosts and gods, and is indeed the most suitable army to sweep the Meteorite Forest.

But isn't Wu Zhaochang guarding Du'e Peak?

Jiang Wang was still confused, and even Dou Zhao was puzzled.

But the [Nameless] who was forcibly hung on the verge of death figured out everything in an instant.

He hung there, laughing sadly: "It's been a long foreshadowing, a long layout, and a deep prelude!"

The Emperor of Chu cut off the title of the Emperor of Changsheng of the South Pole with a sword, just for today!

Changshengjun takes [name] as the principle of the Tao, and especially knows how to grasp "name and name". This is the crime of carrying a sword.

The State of Chu is going to use this king as a sword!

"Come out!" Wu Zhaochang's voice seemed to be mixed with evil spirits, burning the soul fiercely: "Do what you should do."

The evil-faced evil flag rolled up in the air, and a man in a silk robe with a face as white as powder walked out of it - he was wearing an imperial robe earlier, but he had already changed into ordinary clothes.

The leader of the Southern Dipper Hall - Changshengjun!

He stumbled and stood in the air, without saying any other nonsense, just pointing to the remains of [the nameless] from a distance: "Now I give my name - the saint of the famous family Gongsun Xi!"

The transcendent in the world is eternal and indestructible.

Just finding out His name is not enough to remember Him!

It still needs a monument to be engraved, and it needs someone like Changshengjun who knows the name to engrave it!

Boom boom boom!

In the compassionate eyes of Ksitigarbha, under the silent gaze of Huang Weizhen and Chu Tianzi.

The boundless ghost fog in the Meteoric Forest gathered into a monument, which fell from the sky and suppressed the remains of [Nameless], obliterating His last will and all the remnants!

The inscription on the monument reads——

"The Tomb of Gongsun Xi!"

This chapter has 7k5, of which 2k is added by the great alliance "Tushan Zhuoyan" (2/3)
