Chapter 437: What to Look For
"It's not a matter of boredom, it's very important to me!" Anxin said loudly.
"Hmph." The Great Mentor just snorted contemptuously.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are very sunny and the blue water glows white.
"I told you, I'm Solon!" Again, the Great Mentor emphasized, "Solon, know everything!" ”
"Hmm."
"You can ask any questions." The Great Mentor looked at him with his slightly puffy but wise eyes.
"Is that a seven-colored flower?" Anxin asked loudly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"What?" The Great Mentor was furious, he waved his pipe and said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying, you can ask any questions!" ”
"But that's all I care about."
"Idiot!" The Great Mentor roared angrily, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.
"What?"
"Idiot! A sucker! Idiot! Mentally retarded! Imbecile! Unwilling to motivate! The guy who can't hold up the wall! Tyrannical creatures! "The Great Guru was scolding on his pipe on the windowsill as if he were knocking on a wooden fish.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The crisp sound of the pipe hitting the windowsill and the scolding took on a peculiar rhythm, and each crunch was followed by a muffled scolding. But the problem arose just after the Great Mentor scolded the "tyrannical guy".
Because there are no words in his mind for the time being, but the habitual movements of his hands continue, so there is an unbearable window period!
"Knock Knock ......"
The sound of the pipe slamming resounded in a world where there was no scolding, and the great teacher's face turned red.
"Tricks, hooligan guys!" The Great Guru has finally figured out a word.
"What, what?"
This time, Anxin finally couldn't help but speak. He really couldn't figure out how he was associated with the word hooligan? Could it be that there is any special symbol of this seven-colored flower?
"I said that you are doing this," the Great Mentor Huo Ran stopped knocking his pipe to avoid the embarrassment of running out of words for a while, and said loudly with a glaring at Anxin, "It's equivalent to playing hooligan!" ”
"Huh?"
"Do you know where this is?" The Great Mentor took out a long, narrow silver locket and slowly opened it, but then his brow furrowed because it was empty.
"Where?"
"Didn't I say it, this is the Hall of Wisdom!" The Great Mentor glanced at Anxin dissatisfiedly, what a stubborn fellow!
"Oh, yes, yes." Anxin said embarrassedly.
"And I," the Great Mentor said at this point, pausing abruptly, "hand me the locket on your right." ”
"The locket?" Anxin looked at the desktop, and there was indeed an old small box on the desktop near his right hand, "Is this it?" ”
"Yes, give it to me!" The Great Teacher said impatiently.
"Oh." Anxin handed over the locket.
"And I, the master of this Hall of Wisdom, Solon!" As he spoke, the Great Master took out the tobacco leaves from the small box and stuffed them into his pipe little by little.
"At this time of year, I don't know how many people come here from thousands of miles just to answer my doubts in life. As I said, there's nothing in the world that I don't know! "The Great Mentor collided the flint with a fire sickle, and sparks flew everywhere.
"But every year, only a few lucky people are able to step into my Hall of Wisdom!" The Great Mentor is still trying to draw the scythe, and the sparks are still splashing around, but the flames never get up.
"Do you know how valuable the opportunity you get?" The Great Mentor stopped striking the scythe.
"This ......"
"You squandered such a precious opportunity, isn't this a hooligan?" The Great Guru concluded.
"No, it's not." Anxin argued.
"Alright, I'll give you another chance." The Great Mentor stood up and silently walked to the window, "Tell me your doubts about life. ”
"Is this a seven-colored flower?" An An asked persistently.
"You!" Great Mentor Huo Ran turned around, his face flushed as if he was drunk.
"You, you can't blame me," An Xin hurriedly said, "This is the biggest doubt in my life at this moment." ”
“…… All right. The Great Teacher's Adam's apple moved obviously, as if he had swallowed something bitter, "Although you are very unenlightened, after all, I have this opportunity, and I still have to answer your questions." ”
"Thank you."
"Don't be too busy thanking just yet," said the Great Mentor as he stretched out his pipe, "light a cigarette!" ”
"What?"
"I'll let you light a cigarette!"
"Okay, okay." An Xin hurriedly walked over and picked up the flint and fire sickle.
In fact, Anxin doesn't know how to use these things, after all, he is a person living in the 23rd century. He could only follow the example of the great mentor just now and slammed the fire sickle into the flint with all his might.
Suddenly, with a crisp sound, the flames burst out.
"What?" The eyes of the Great Teacher widened.
Soon the tobacco leaves were ignited, emitting a trace of white smoke.
"Hmph." The Great Mentor snorted coldly, then took a long sip.
An An stood aside, holding a flint and a fire sickle and waiting patiently.
This thing, it seems to be very easy to use?
"So your question is," the Great Master slowly puffed out a white smoke ring, "Is the flower on the table a seven-colored flower?" ”
"Yes, yes!"
"My answer was," the Great Master took another deep breath, and the leaves in his pipe lit up like eyes, "and it wasn't a seven-colored flower. ”
"Ugh." An An sighed.
It turns out that it wasn't a seven-colored flower?
"You look disappointed." A smile gradually appeared on the face of the Great Teacher.
"Of course, of course disappointed."
"Are you looking for seven-colored flowers?" The Great Mentor suddenly asked.
"Yes!" An Xin hurriedly said.
"Huh." The Great Mentor smiled inscrutablely.
Hearing this strange laughter, peace of mind ignited hope.
"You, where do you know the seven-colored flowers?" An An asked expectantly.
"Of course." Without hesitation, the Great Mentor said, "As I said, there is nothing in this world that I don't know!" ”
"Great!" Peace of mind dancing hand in hand.
It turns out that the core of this scene is not on the flower, but on this man named Solon?
"Wait."
"Huh?"
"Are you happy too soon?" The smile on the Great Mentor's face slowly turned sour.
"What?"
"Even if I know where there are seven-colored flowers, why should I tell you?"
"This ......" Anxin was speechless for a while.
"Huh." The Great Teacher no longer spoke, but smoked with pleasure and concentration.
Outside the window, the sea is calm, like a large sapphire. The sun had sunk in the west, and the slightly orange-red light illuminated the room.
The tutor was standing by the window, and the snow-white smoke rings were coming out of his mouth one after another.
"That ......" Anxin decided to say something, he didn't want to wait any longer.
"How?"
"How can you tell me?"
"Tell you what? Oh, the whereabouts of the seven-colored flowers, right? ”
"Yes."
"Well...... "The mentor finally finished his cigarette, and he gently placed his pipe by the window and turned around.
"Well, I'll ask you a few questions, and I'll tell you if the answers are good."
"How many questions do you ask me?"
"Yes." The Great Mentor blinked and said, "I would like to take this opportunity to judge whether you are a normal person or not. ”
"Okay, okay." Anxin paused and said, "You ask." ”
"What is this endless, azure thing outside the window?" The tutor asked the first question.
"The sea, the sea." Anxin said cautiously.
Is there something wrong?
"Good, it seems that you are in your right senses." After speaking, the teacher asked a second question, "So, what is at the end of this blue sea?" ”
"What's there?" An Xin thought for a while and said, "It's probably another continent." ”
"Oh, you even know that?" The Great Mentor said with a slight exaggeration, "This is a bit unexpected. ”
"Why?" Anxin didn't understand why the Great Teacher would say that.
"The sea is endless, and there is nothing behind the sea, this is the common perception of people here." The Great Guru explained, "There are only a handful of people who can understand that there is another continent behind the sea, here, in this era. ”
"I see."
"The third question," said the Great Guru after a pause, "what does a woman look for all her life?" ”
"Huh?"
Anxin never thought that the great teacher would ask such a question, this jump is a bit too big, right?
"What is a woman going through all the hardships for? What is she looking for? After the Great Master finished speaking, he knelt down by the window and looked at the blue water, saying nothing.
He was patiently waiting for a reassuring answer.
At this moment, countless question marks appeared in Anxin's mind.
A woman? Which woman?
What does it mean to go through a lot of hardship?
Look for? How do you know she's looking?
What to look for?
Soon, Xiao Qing's perfect face appeared in Anxin's mind.
Aqing. Smart, pretty, elegant, calm, flawless, is she looking for something?
Soon, the image of a man appeared, and he stood silently beside Xiao Qing. The scene seemed so harmonious, so perfect.
Anxin smiled.
This man is naturally himself!
"I see." Anxin said.
"Oh?" The Great Teacher slowly turned his head.
"A woman who has spent her whole life looking for a man who can match!" Anxin said loudly.
"That's right." The Great Guru actually affirmed this answer.
"There was once a girl who came here," the Great Mentor recalled, "she was so beautiful, so graceful, as brilliant as the stars in the sky. But there was a faint sadness between her brows, like autumn frost that could not melt. She asked me the question, what exactly is a woman looking for? ”
