"This ...... This is ......" Li Qingshui looked at the resin-wrapped thing in front of him, carefully identifying the brain lines in it, and then his eyes opened wide, and his eyes showed a look of extreme disbelief.

"It's the human brain." Although he saw it with his own eyes, Li Qingshui still couldn't believe it, because what was happening in front of him had completely subverted his perception of previous biology, "Is this brain still alive?" ”

"Yes, it's alive and it's still functioning. Being able to keep my brain alive is arguably the ability I'm most proud of since I mutated. As he spoke, the willow tree withdrew the intricate combination of rattans into the air and disappeared into the mist.

"Now, you know why I speak human language, right?"

"Got it." Li Qingshui nodded, existence is reasonable, he slowly took a few deep breaths to suppress his emotions, and then asked, "But, how much brain can you control?" ”

"There aren't many, just seven." Willow said, with a hint of regret in his tone, "The amount of information in the human brain is too complex, not only too much, but also extremely complex, and when I control the sixth brain, I feel that this information converges, creating conflicts and condensations, like a twine twisted together, which makes it difficult for me to deal with it." So, after taking control of the seventh brain, I decided not to do more control for the time being, so as not to completely condense the amount of information and 'short-circuit' my brain. ”

"I see, then what are your intentions in catching the two of us?" Li Qingshui looked at the heavenly phantom and asked, "Originally, as a producer in the food chain, trees should not lack the organic matter needed for growth, so it seems that you swallowed me and it was of little use." And as you said earlier, the fact that the root is no longer useful to you means that you have evolved other ways to obtain nutrients. With both ways of getting organic matter, your body will never be deprived of nutrients. ”

"And if my body is useless to you, the only thing that is useful is my brain. But as you said again, you can't hold any more information, so what I want to ask you is, what are you doing with us? ”

"You're so smart, you should have a lot of knowledge in your brain, I really want to replace this brain." As the willow tree spoke, a delicate combination of branches stretched down from the air, "This person's mind is full of useless information, surnamed love, violence, and the same family routine, I really want to leave his position vacated for you, but unfortunately, I have cut off the rhizome myself now, and I don't have this ability for the time being." ”

"Heh, I'm a lucky one." Li Qingshui smiled bitterly and continued to ask, "You haven't told me yet, what is your purpose in capturing us. ”

"Question." The old hollow voice came again, "I have a question in my heart, a question that I have to solve. Although I can't accommodate a much larger flow of information now, one or two questions are definitely acceptable. So, I would like to ask you a few questions. ”

"What's in it for you?"

"I'm satisfied with the answer, I can let you go, if you're not satisfied, you can only exist as my nourishment." As the willow tree spoke, a thick willow rattan stretched out from the air, this rattan was extremely hideous, completely different from the delicate combination of rattan just now, the branches were not only thick but also had sharp barbed blades on them, the sharp blades were lined up, and dozens of hollow human skins hung on them, "If you can't answer the question, you will be like them." ”

"Why should I believe your words?" Li Qingshui looked at the empty human skin and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

"Because you don't have a choice." Recovering the hanging human skin, Willow said, "If you don't say it, I can naturally find someone else, my life is long, and I am very patient." I'm not in a hurry to know the answer, and there should be a lot of people who know the answer. You can choose not to believe me and turn it into fertilizer immediately, or you can choose to trust me to gamble. But what I can tell you is that I don't have to lie to you. ”

"Well, I'll admit, I don't have a choice, and you're saying something artistic, and I suspect that one of those seven people is a lawyer." Under the eaves, Li Qingshui was told by Willow's call that he had no choice, so he had to answer: "Ask, what do you want to know?" ”

"What I want to know is, what is wisdom?" A tremor could be heard in Willow's hollow voice.

"There are many kinds of general definitions of wisdom in human beings, such as innovation, discovery, rectification, logical thinking, and so on. But I think the core definition of wisdom is imagination. ”

"How?"

"According to the knowledge and memory in your head, you should know that the ability to discover, the ability to integrate, and even the ability to think logically, etc., etc., are actually possessed by many animals, and are not unique abilities of humans."

"Yes, rats tidy up their nests, lions and tigers have the ability to find prey, monkeys and orangutans and other animals can carry wooden boxes and step on bananas to eat bananas that are out of reach of high places. So, many species do have all the abilities you are talking about, including the ability to think logically, but they don't look like they're very intelligent. So according to you, the core difference between humans and other animals is ......"

"Yes, it's imagination, that's the core definition of wisdom." Li Qingshui said: "Including the reasoning of scientific formulas, the manufacture of various instruments, and even humanistic poetry and drama, everything in human civilization is the wisdom of imagination. ”

"I understand, I'm satisfied with your answer." After Liu Shu said this, he fell into a deep silence, as if he was "imagining" what imagination was, and Li Qingshui was also silently waiting below.

After a moment, the willow voice sounded again: "So, the second question, how did the human imagination come from?" ”

"There are many theories, but I think the more plausible one is that the assumptions of natural disasters have shaped the imagination of mankind." Li Qingshui slowly recalled the knowledge in his head, "I watched a documentary, and it seems that it is Africans who are the first to produce imagination among human beings. Because they have abundant food and water during the rainy season, and during the dry season they die in large numbers due to lack of water. Therefore, after countless generations of evolution, a certain generation of them gradually developed the illusion of the disaster of the dry season in the rainy season, so they began to invent utensils to store water and food when the drinking water was abundant in the rainy season, so this is the first human beings to get the imagination. ”

"Is it a crisis illusion? I see. Willow fell silent again.

But after a moment of silence this time, Li Qingshui suddenly felt the roots wrapped around his waist squirm, and then he looked down and found that the rattans began to retract, from the waist to the thighs, and from the thighs to the ankles, and finally completely into the ground.

"I'm satisfied with your answer, you can go." The sound of willow trees could be heard in the air.

"Before I leave, can I ask you a question?" Hearing that he had regained his freedom, Li Qingshui couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy on his face, but he didn't leave immediately, but stood in place and continued to talk.

"Yes, just ask."

"Why do you ask me what wisdom is when you already have a human brain?"

"Because I don't have wisdom."
