119. Two fingers
The night is like ink.
The sea was pitch black, with only a faint yellow light constantly floating on the surface of the sea, up and down, bright and dark.
Quietly, a black shadow appeared in the light, slowly walking towards the deck, and after a while, a head poked out from under the white curtain, and it was Liu Bai.
Smelling the sea breeze, Liu Bai looked around, walked out of the cabin, stood at the front of the deck, pressed the handrail, and quietly looked at the waterfront town that was gradually becoming smaller in the distance.
"Childe, what's wrong. โ
Lin Shishi followed from inside, her steps were gentle, and there was no sound. She stood next to Liu Bai, looking at Liu Bai's slightly immature side face, and Liu Bai's past appearance appeared in her mind again.
Seem...... It seems to have become a bit mature.
Lin Shishi thought silently in her heart.
Liu Bai glanced back at Lin Shishi and said with a smile: "It's okay, I haven't been on a boat for a long time, come out and sit and take a look at the scenery." โ
I haven't sat in a long time.
Lin Shishi silently repeated in her heart, in her memory, Liu Bai had never been to the beach at all. When the other party says this, it doesn't mean that the other party really has some kind of special identity.
Immortals?Past Life?
Lin Shishi didn't think too much, in her opinion, the son is still the current son, at least it is still so good to her, no matter how the other party changes, she feels that the other party is still her own son.
Lin Shishi didn't speak, Liu Bai didn't speak anymore, and the two of them stood on the deck and quietly watched the Linshui Town in front of them, getting farther and farther away, and finally turned into a little spark. Lost in the darkness.
The wind gradually rose, and the breeze on the face became a little pungent and painful.
"Let's go, let's go in. Liu Bai said.
"Hmm. Lin Shishi nodded and followed Liu Bai into the cabin.
Inside the cabin.
The old man and the Ice Emperor sat cross-legged, and in the middle was a square solid wood table with two white teacups poured with fragrant barley tea poured into them.
Because of the reason why the old man broke through to become a Dou Huang, the Ice Emperor has been discussing the other party's experience with the other party and wants to break through from it. But listen to what the other party said. The Ice Emperor didn't feel like a breakthrough.
Seeing Liu Bai walking in from outside, the Ice Emperor, who was originally frowning, suddenly stood up, he walked in front of Liu Bai and said, "About why the old man was able to break through." I've never figured it out. โ
"I can't help you if I don't understand. Liu Bai shook his head. "The state of mind is your own thing. Everything can only be comprehended on your own. So it's not that I can't help you, it's that I can't help you. โ
"I can't understand why the old man is able to comprehend something. The Ice Emperor asked sincerely. Like a student who is eager to learn. "According to what the master of the door said before, reading the history of Emperor Yan's struggle is to follow Emperor Yan through that period of experience and feel the other party's state of mind. But I've just followed the old man's train of thought, but I don't have the same perception as him. โ
Liu Bai nodded, he could understand the mood of the Ice Emperor, the other party used to be a Dou Huang, but the old man was just a Dou Wang, and he had some superior status in his heart.
But now, now that the old man has reached the Dou Huang, he still stops at the Dou Huang, with the other party's state of mind, I am afraid that he will be able to break through again, so he is also a little anxious in his heart, or jealousy, and he is afraid that he will not be able to get the other party out of his jealous heart if he says a word or two.
He pondered for a moment, raised a finger, and asked seriously, "What is this?" โ
"It's a finger. The Ice Emperor was silent for a moment before speaking.
Liu Bai smiled and said, "Since you think it's a finger, what is the function of a finger, it's just a finger." โ
"Effect?" the Ice Emperor frowned, thinking about the meaning of what Liu Bai said. The other party uses his finger to remind himself, which is undoubtedly to help him break through.
What do the fingers do?
What can the fingers do, it is nothing more than for fighting, eating, and carrying things, what other use can it have?
"Have you figured it out. Liu Bai asked with a smile.
"Your fingers are kept for holding things. The Ice Emperor said seriously.
"I mean one finger or two. Liu Bai shook his head and said.
One, two?
The Ice Emperor looked at his fingers, two fingers or one finger didn't seem to be of any use, did the other party want to tell him that if a person only had two fingers and lost their function as a finger, it would be useless?
He took a deep breath and finally shook his head, he couldn't figure out what two fingers were for.
"It's useless. Liu Bai asked with a smile.
"It didn't work. The Ice Emperor shook his head.
Liu Bai didn't speak, but turned to look at the old man and asked, "What do you think these two fingers are for?" โ
"Use?" said the old man directly. "If there are only two left, it's nothing more than a bottle or a sword. โ
"I'm talking about the middle finger and index finger. Liu Bai explained.
Middle finger vs. index finger?
The two shook their heads, but in the end they didn't think of an answer, if they kept their thumbs, they could still use things, but what was the use of keeping their middle fingers and index fingers.
"Do you think that no matter who it is, it's useless to leave these two fingers?" Liu Bai smiled mysteriously.
"Yes. The Ice Emperor said with a serious face.
He had thought about this question no less than twenty times, but he had not thought of the use of these two fingers.
Liu Bai smiled again, and the index finger and thumb of his left hand suddenly formed a circle, and the index finger and middle finger were inserted into it, moving back and forth twice.
Poofโโ
The old man who was drinking water didn't even have a chance to turn his head, and completely squirted.
"Ahem......" The Ice Emperor coughed embarrassedly, and suddenly understood.
Lin Shishi looked at the three of them with wide eyes, obviously not understanding what kind of dumb riddle the three of them were playing, only the Ice Emperor's old face was flushed and looked at Liu Bai, he didn't expect the other party to give this example at all.
Liu Bai glanced at the other party, sat down on the bed slowly, took out the barley tea powder from the inventory, took a new teapot, and brewed it again.
After pouring boiling water into it, he said unhurriedly: "There are some things that don't need to be in a hurry, obviously there are other paths to take, but you want to take someone else's path, but you don't know that you don't need to take that road at all now." โ
The Ice Emperor nodded silently, finally understanding what Liu Bai meant, but after a while, he glanced at the old man with a strange look in his eyes, and his eyes looked back and forth on the other party's body.
The old man was a little hairy by the other party, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Lao Tzu's body is good, this is just an example!"
"Oh. The Ice Emperor glanced at the old man meaningfully, the knot in his heart seemed to have been untied, and he didn't have any jealousy for the old man's breakthrough. (To be continued......)
