On the one hand, Xunzi had something to say, and on the other hand, a big man who was older than Xunzi interrupted the former's words and ordered Jiang Qi's order by the way.

Jiang Qi was embarrassed there for a while.

It is not appropriate to ask Xunzi to continue to say that it is not appropriate, and run directly to the old man in Mai, ignoring what Xunzi wants to say.

"You shameless old man."

Xunzi shook his head and smiled, looked at Jiang Qi and said, "Go ahead, and see what this old official wants you to do." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Qiru was amnestied, stood up numbly, walked behind Xunzi, and came to the side and back of the old man in Mai.

"Elder."

Jiang Qi first bowed, and then looked in the direction of the old man in Mai.

"What do you see in the water?"

There was no emotion in the voice of the old man in Mai, as if everything in the world was not in his heart.

and Fang Cai's attitude towards Xunzi is simply like two people.

If it is said that the old man in Mai who communicates with Xunzi is a human being, then the old man in Mai who is now communicating with Jiang Qi. It's the sky.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs".

This sentence does not mean that heaven and earth will wantonly harm and humiliate all things in the world.

Rather, it is saying that heaven and earth do not care about everything in the world, good or bad, but just quietly watch the natural development of all things.

Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself.

The current Mai old man seems to be in such a state.

Jiang Qi had such thoughts circulating in his heart, and quietly looked at the direction of the old man's finger.

There was nothing there, just a crystal clear stream, and a wisp of aquatic plants drifting slanted in the direction of the current.

Nothing beyond that.

"The younger generation saw the water, the aquatic weeds, and the gravel and pebbles."

Jiang Qi replied truthfully, in fact, Jiang Qi saw indeed these things.

"Oh? Is there anything else? ”

The old man's voice was still indifferent, and his words seemed to be dissatisfied, but also seemed to be reminded.

But Jiang Qi knew that this was his own delusion.

The old man in front of him now seems to be an established procedure, and he will only follow a rigid process.

is to get to the bottom of it, without mentioning points, without dissatisfaction, it is a natural difficulty.

"Nope."

Jiang Qi shook his head and said.

"Look again."

The old man in Mai pointed to his original position again.

I saw a small fish head and tail against the current appeared there, and after lingering in place for a while, it took the initiative to bite the hook without bait.

"Whoa!"

The old man in Mai took advantage of the situation to lift the fishing rod, and the little fish did not struggle, and was caught obediently.

Then the old man in sackcloth plucked the fish and threw it into the basket.

It's obviously a bamboo basket woven of bamboo, but it doesn't leak.

The fish swim happily in it.

Jiang Qi subconsciously looked over and found that this fish was one of the several fish released by Xunzi before.

"You see, there's still fish there."

The old man in Mai said, throwing the fishing rod into the water again, still in the same position.

"Fluttering"

One by one, the small fish went against the current and came to the hook.

I consciously lined up and bit the tail of the fish in front, and the fish in front bit the hook at once.

"Whoa."

In this way, a total of five fish were caught by the old man at one time, just like pulling a turnip.

"Yes, the juniors missed it."

Jiang Qi blinked, not understanding what the old man Mai meant.

"Look again."

The old man in Mai raised his finger for the third time, but this time it was pointing at the fish basket.

Jiang Qi looked down and his expression froze.

The fish basket is nothing to look at, and the fish is nothing to look at, but the combination of the two made Jiang Qi see something.

Whether it is the position of the basket, the height and ripples of the water, or the position of each fish, or even every scale, every whisker.

The inside of this fish basket, including the fish basket itself, is exactly the same as before the old man in Mai came, before he was moved by Xunzi!

Even Jiang Qi can be sure that not only the surface of these things, but also the blood flowing in the veins of every fish, the aquatic plants and small insects that have been eaten.

It's all exactly the same as before!

It's like. Turn back the clock!

The time of this fish basket has returned to the state before it was moved by Xunzi!

But Jiang Qi obviously watched the old man in Mai catch the fish again one by one.

Although Jiang Qi would not be able to see through such an existence by using a trick, Jiang Qi believed that an existence like the old man in Mai would not do such a thing.

What's more, there's a concept called Occam's razor, which works like this: don't add entities if you don't have to.

After adding the method of elimination, which eliminates all impossibilities, the remaining impossibility is also the final answer.

Put it here, and the answer is already obvious.

The old man in Mai used the power that Jiang Qi couldn't understand to reset or retrace the time of the fish basket.

And not a blindfold that doesn't have to exist.

"What do you see?"

The old man in Mai asked again.

Xunzi also looked at it with interest, and when he looked at Jiang Qi's back, a trace of nervousness flashed in his baby-like clear eyes.

Jiang Qi naturally couldn't see Xunzi behind him.

He was thinking about the old man in Mai.

What do you see?

Nature is fish and time!

Jiang Qi wanted to answer like this, but he had an intuition in his heart that told him that this answer was wrong, and it was very outrageously wrong.

"Hmm"

At this time, Jiang Qi suddenly frowned, and a pinprick-like stinging pain came from his wrist.

The sting is so clear!

Jiang Qi subconsciously bet his spiritual sense into the past.

I saw that on the originally bare wrist, a phantom of eighteen sons faintly appeared.

The next moment, Panlong Pei appeared in Jiang Qi's palm!

The stinging sensation also came to the palm of the hand!

Why is Panlongpei here? This is the world of obsession!

Jiang Qi had never experienced a similar situation before, and it stands to reason that everything in this world should be thoughts!

Entities can't be here!

But Jiang Qi can guarantee that the Panlong Pei that he is holding in his hand now is the entity!

And the stinging sensation reminded Jiang Qi that if he answered the old man's question incorrectly, he would lose a lot of things.

Many, much, very, very much.

For no reason, Jiang Qi's heart felt a strong tingling sensation!

That's a sense of déjà vu that something important is far away from you!

"Husband!"

At this time, the cuckoo's bloody call woke Jiang Qi up.

I saw Zhao Ying'er appear in front of Jiang Qi at some point, holding something in her white and tender little hands.

Eighteen sons, tortoise shells, sachets, tokens.

Each of these things is a rare treasure, and each of them is a great artifact!

But now, these treasures, including Zhao Ying'er herself, are "fading".

It's as if Jiang Qi didn't have it.

This is the fading of "being" and "origin".

For a while, Jiang Qi seemed to understand a lot.

He looked up at the old man in Mai.

Take a deep breath, bow your hands, salute, and be meticulous.

"Back to Zhuangzi, junior, I saw it."

"History!"
