question of heaven

It was very late at night, but Wu Xiaoyang still didn't feel sleepy. He was browsing the news on his mobile phone and saw the introduction of "sign language" by chance.With a flash in his mind, he quickly got up and turned on the computer, typed the words "sign language teaching" into the browser, and a lot of sign language teaching videos popped up in the blink of an eye.A plan immediately appeared in his mind, download the video and put it on the computer desktop; then he began to search for training courses related to sign language teaching in Kunming, and he found several in a row, and he wrote down the address and contact information.

The next morning, Wu Xiaoyang got up early and went to the second floor of a building according to the address. He saw a delicate and beautiful bronze plaque on the wall on the right side of a door, with the words "Sign Language Studio" suddenly written on it.

He knocked on the door, walked in when he was greeted by someone, and saw a female teacher under the age of 30 busy at the desk.Wu Xiaoyang said: "Teacher, hello! I want to learn sign language, so let's learn about it today."

The teacher said, "Why are you learning sign language?"

Wu Xiaoyang said: "I'm interested and want to learn, may I ask, what's your name?" Hearing that the other party said the surname is Yang, he continued: "Mr. Yang, I want to know, is there a quick and easy way for people to understand' What does sign language mean? It’s enough to be able to communicate basically, is there such a method.”

Teacher Yang said: "There must be such a method. The current teaching methods are flexible and diverse. It's just that this will create obstacles to mastering the language seriously in the future. If you want to learn it, you should learn it from the beginning to the end. ;If you want to quickly understand sign language, you can simply communicate with others. Therefore, you have to think about what the purpose of learning sign language is, and then choose the learning method."

Wu Xiaoyang thought for a while and said, "Let's learn how to quickly understand sign language first."

Teacher Yang said: "Since you have made up your mind, just keep it for a week so that you can understand the general meaning of sign language when communicating."

"Okay, that's it. I'll pay the fee and sign up now." After completing the formalities, he said, "I hope the class starts as soon as possible."

"We have several classes to attend today." Teacher Yang said, "How about this, starting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, four hours a day, divided into morning and afternoon. After a week, you can achieve your goal. In addition , to remind you, don’t watch the video yet. If you really want to watch it, watch it a week later, so as not to affect the quality of learning.”

Back home, Wu Xiaoyang sent Pu Yan a WeChat message saying: "I have something to do, it will take a week, I will contact you then."

At nine o'clock the next day, Wu Xiaoyang came to Mr. Yang's sign language studio on time, and there were two other people studying together.Teacher Yang said: "Start with simple sentences like 'Hi, thank you, nice to meet you'."

Although it was a bit boring, and it was something he had never thought about before, Wu Xiaoyang still studied it very seriously, comprehending all kinds of movements and the corresponding meanings with his heart.In less than two hours, he had already learned the meanings of dozens of movements.A change slowly took place in his heart. He felt that human beings are really great, especially those pioneers who made inventions. Their creations not only showed their unparalleled wisdom, but also benefited thousands of people. He couldn't help feeling a deep respect for these people, and he started to study more seriously.

In the afternoon, Pu Yan sent a WeChat message: "Why did it take so long? Did something happen?"

Wu Xiaoyang said: "It's a good thing. I'll tell you when the time comes. You can guess first to see if you're really smart."

When people are happy, time always passes quickly.It feels like a week has passed in a blink of an eye. Wu Xiaoyang feels that it is very meaningful to hear Teacher Yang say that he can basically communicate with people who use sign language.He came to "Fengyuan Community" excitedly, and sent a WeChat message: "I am at the gate of your community, are you at home?"

Pu Yan said: "I'm not at home, I'm out to do something. Just wait for a while, I'll be right back."

The waiting time was long, Wu Xiaoyang was not in a hurry, and his heart was filled with joy when he saw Pu Yan.About half an hour later, Pu Yan arrived. Wu Xiaoyang looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "Let's find a coffee shop to sit."

A hint of joy flashed quickly in Pu Yan's eyes, and then she looked down at the ground with some embarrassment.Wu Xiaoyang said: "I know what you think in your heart now, but don't ask why, trust me." Seeing that Pu Yan was still hesitating, he continued: "Do you still remember our one-week agreement? Now the time is up , Believe me, let's go." Pu Yan raised her head, glanced at him, and nodded like a warrior about to go to the battlefield.

Wu Xiaoyang flagged a taxi and said to the driver, "Classic Coffee House." After speaking, he turned to look at Pu Yan with a smile.When he arrived at the coffee shop and sat down, he ordered two cups of freshly ground coffee.

Wu Xiaoyang saw Pu Yan's eyes full of doubts, but he didn't speak, but raised his hand and made a gesture of "Hello" in sign language.Pu Yan's face was full of surprises, and she made a gesture of "how could you understand".Wu Xiaoyang still didn't speak, and continued to make a gesture of "It's nice to know you". Pu Yan's joy became stronger, and she continued to say in sign language: "Where did you learn it?"

After all, Wu Xiaoyang has been learning sign language for too short a time, so he can’t fully express himself. After speaking in sign language for a while, he said, “I’ve been learning sign language from a teacher this week. The first stage is over today. The sign language teacher said, I can basically communicate with people who use sign language, and can understand what sign language means? I think I will use it first, and I will study further later.”

Wu Xiaoyang could clearly see the tears in Pu Yan's eyes. He knew the meaning and said, "I am very happy to do this, and it has given me another skill. It's just that I haven't learned much yet. The meaning is okay, but the usage is worse. Is this good? You use sign language, and I use my mouth to speak, so it is more convenient."

"That's great. I didn't expect you to do this." Pu Yan said, "Tomorrow afternoon, let's go see Teacher Chu. He has a very good impression of you."

"I'm still confused about some questions, so I just asked him for advice." Wu Xiaoyang said, "I feel that he is really amazing. Although I haven't communicated much so far, I can still feel his shocking talent. "

Pu Yan took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message: "After getting along for a long time, you will know what a great person he is. I have seen with my own eyes how many high-ranking officials and wealthy people are fawning on him, and people in many fields have to give He has a bit of face, but he is dismissive of these people. Even so, no one dares to embarrass him except some arrogant people who don't know the depth. Those people you saw at his door a few times ago, Each one has a deep background, Teacher Chu won't even let them in. In a word, he is a truly remarkable person, isn't he amazing?"

"You said that he is a very special person, but I still feel it." Wu Xiaoyang said: "Generally speaking, it especially refers to the external performance, but he is just the opposite. His appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person, even more Ordinary people are more amiable, but his thinking, what he says and does, makes people clearly feel that he is different."

Pu Yan said in sign language: "That's right, that's it."

In the afternoon of the next day, Wu Xiaoyang and Pu Yan came to Teacher Chu's house and found that there were no people who had been in the spare place in twos and threes before.He and Pu Yan walked into the house and saw that Teacher Chu was talking to a middle-aged man in his 40s, and sitting next to him was a handsome boy who was about his own age.Seeing Wu Xiaoyang and Pu Yan coming in, the middle-aged man stood up and greeted them enthusiastically; the handsome young man just looked at them and didn't say anything.Teacher Chu smiled at Wu Xiaoyang and the two of them, and continued to chat with the man.Pu Yan took Wu Xiaoyang's hand, and the two sat down, listening to them quietly.

The man said: "Our family, Lin Qihua, has been quite smart since he was a child. His grades in school have always been in the forefront, and he is also a member of the student union. I hope he will be successful in the future. Please ask Mr. Chu to accept him. What do you ask for? Just say it."

Teacher Chu said: "Boss Lin, you're being polite. I've already said that, in fact, I've earned my name in vain, and the rumors in the society are unbelievable. Your son is very smart, and following me will delay him."

The boss Lin said: "Mr. Chu, please think about it again, please don't worry about it. If you have any requirements and how much it costs, you can just say it, and I will never be vague."

Wu Xiaoyang saw that the smile on Teacher Chu's face disappeared all of a sudden, and he said indifferently: "I have made it very clear, I don't dare to mislead you, please go ahead." That Lin The boss wanted to justify what he said just now, but seeing Teacher Chu's expression, he had to leave in embarrassment.

They had just left the house when Teacher Chu smiled at Pu Yan and said, "Come to see me again today."

Wu Xiaoyang said: "I'm sorry, Teacher Chu, I caused trouble that day, so I didn't cause you any trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Teacher Chu said, "To be honest, I'm glad you did this. Is a man who doesn't even dare to fight a man still a man?" The worrying heart fell to the ground.

Teacher Chu said, "Xiao Yang, tell me the truth, how old are you this year?"

Wu Xiaoyang said: "In two more months, I will be 22 years old."

"22 years old, there are still three years before 25 years old." Teacher Chu seemed to be talking to himself, and finally looked at him and said, "Have you really read a lot of books? What books have you read? "

"During the three years of university, I have read a lot of books." Wu Xiaoyang said: "Biography, history, politics, military affairs, culture, geography, education, humanities, philosophy are all involved, covering everything."

Teacher Chu said: "We have discussed this issue two days ago, and I just want to verify it again."

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyang looked at him strangely, then turned to look at Pu Yan, and found that Pu Yan's eyes were also puzzled.

Teacher Chu said with a smile: "Girl Yan, do you think why my old man is so serious about Xiao Yang's matter and has to verify it? Are you worried that I will sell him? Who is he a brat? How much can you sell for?" Pu Yan lowered her head shyly.

Teacher Chu continued: "Xiao Yang, what's the matter today?"

Wu Xiaoyang said: "What you said the last two times shocked me a lot. What should I do to become a person who can make a difference?"

Teacher Chu said: "Actually, what you really want to know is what you are most suitable for. How can you integrate the knowledge you have learned before and show its value in specific affairs."

Wu Xiaoyang was very happy: "Yes, how can I do it."

Teacher Chu's expression and tone suddenly became a little proud and said: "For other people, this problem may not be solved in a lifetime, but for us, it is easy to achieve. If you want to do this , You must first understand the essence of culture. Because culture is the hub of all things, only by grasping the node of "Cultural Outline" can other things such as knowledge, talent, hard work, etc. not deviate from the main body, and you can achieve the results you want. Xiao Yang, what kind of understanding do you have about culture? Say it boldly, it doesn’t matter.”

Wu Xiaoyang said hesitantly: "Culture is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it can influence a person, a nation, or even a country."

"Culture is a torch in people's mind." Teacher Chu said: "It belongs entirely to the ideological level and cannot directly generate value, especially commercial value, but it affects people's thoughts and actions in all aspects. It is the support point of all industries, and naturally it is also the support point of a person; without the prosperity of culture, any strength and success are short-lived, including a family that does not take fairness and justice as the cultural basis cannot last long. So , we must have a deep understanding of the influence of culture on people; otherwise, you will not be able to look at things in the world from a very high fulcrum.”

Wu Xiaoyang said: "Mr. Chu, I can understand what you just said. The great significance of culture is also mentioned in books, but it is rare to see someone explain it more specifically. For example, the characteristics of Chinese culture, how to pass the cultural To realize specific value and so on.”

Teacher Chu said: "Your way of speaking is very interesting. It not only has a macro level, but also includes thinking about specific affairs, which shows that your way of thinking is very different."

He went on to say: "Chinese culture is mainly dominated by Confucianism, and it is an all-encompassing and changeable comprehensive culture supplemented by Buddhism, Taoism, and Law. It also accommodates a wide variety of theories. It is benevolence and tolerance, and it is respect for ancestors. Because of this, it has formed its unique profound and strong tolerance, and finally implemented it in people, nourishing the kindness, tenacity, and ancestors of China. A big family of nations. Regrettably, since the creation of Confucianism by Confucius, Confucianism has undergone major changes and has become beyond recognition. For example: Mencius’s ignorance of the people, Zhu Xi’s hypocritical ethics. To put it bluntly, their These changes have seriously misled hundreds of millions of people who love Confucianism. Confucius Confucianism is a truly "worldly" knowledge, which is different from all other learning in that it not only recognizes the ugliness of human nature, but also believes in Brilliant, and actively looking for solutions. A systematic set of thoughts and theories have been formed on principled issues such as governing the country, educating people's hearts, and the value of life. Classic works such as "Spring and Autumn" and "The Analects of Confucius" were created under this kind of thinking of."

Wu Xiaoyang said: "In this way, Chinese culture is too complicated and difficult to grasp."

"Not necessarily." Teacher Chu said with a smile, "If you want to see the whole mountain scenery, what would you do?"

"I will stand on the top of the mountain." Wu Xiaoyang thought for a while: "What Teacher Chu means is that we should follow the method you just said, and only need to master the general outline of culture."

"Very correct." Teacher Chu said: "When you stand on the top of the mountain, you still don't know what's in all the places in the mountain? But when someone asks you what's in a certain place, you can see clearly at a glance."

Wu Xiaoyang was ecstatic.Teacher Chu continued: "I would like to ask you a very practical question. Why do so many people visit and worship the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong every year?"

"The Confucian Temple is dedicated to Mr. Confucius." Wu Xiaoyang said: "The Confucianism he founded is profound and profound, and he is a sage respected by the Chinese people."

Teacher Chu said: "Based on this, the bronze culture of our ancient Dian kingdom in Yunnan is still rich in connotation and rich in cultural heritage; moreover, in recent years, the intensity of publicity has been very strong. Why don't many people come to visit and play?"

Wu Xiaoyang was stunned, and then realized that he had read books for many years in vain, and his usual intelligence and wisdom were gone. He was confused: "I don't know the reason."

Teacher Chu said: "In fact, there are many cultures, including some foreign cultures, which are very profound and remarkable; but with the changes of the times, they are submerged in the rolling history. The reason is that any kind of culture, It must be closely connected with real life in order to prosper. Confucianism advocated "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, filial piety" and other ideas still have a strong guiding significance for our current real life. Who would not want to live in a world full of benevolence? , justice, awe-inspiring, gentle and courteous, admiring honesty, and despising fraud? Therefore, people are willing to spend time and money to pay attention to and study it. On the contrary, any culture that cannot be closely related to real life, even if it has created No matter how great and glorious it is, it will gradually disappear from people's sight."

Wu Xiaoyang thought for a while and said, "Really, cultural phenomena such as the once glorious Babylon and ancient India are the best explanations."

Teacher Chu said: "Also, Chinese culture is so profound and charming, why can't it become popular all over the world, instead it will attract a lot of criticism?"

Wu Xiaoyang said: "Because they don't understand the real Chinese culture, it is impossible to make a correct judgment."

Teacher Chu said: "I can't say that your statement is wrong, but it is not too abstract, as if there is no answer."

Wu Xiaoyang smiled and said, "That's true."

Teacher Chu said: "This is like an excellent person. He has many advantages, but there are always some people who oppose him. The reason is: those who oppose him always hold on to one of his shortcomings, and even put It magnifies. If this shortcoming is really a critical point, then this objection will be louder."

Wu Xiaoyang said: "You mean that although Chinese culture is profound and colorful, there are major flaws in it, and this flaw hinders its inheritance and development."

"Totally correct." Teacher Chu said: "Generally speaking, Chinese culture has three main characteristics: First, it is broad and profound, and difficult to inherit. This factor has made it difficult for Chinese civilization to extend to a wider world for thousands of years. We cannot Simply attributed to the stubbornness of outsiders, the main reason is that the core ideas of Chinese culture have not been understood by others, and they have not really felt the charm of this culture. Second, there is more than enough defense and insufficient offense. You If you look carefully at history, especially modern history, you will find that we Chinese are always overconfident in known things, such as people and things in our country; while we are too afraid of unknown things, such as what foreigners do Three, obsessed with skills and lost in essence. In the cultural treasure house of China, there are countless and strange books of wisdom. These books of wisdom profoundly affect all aspects of people, making us obsessed with the immediate interests, But forget the essence of things. Skills can see immediate results, while thinking focuses on the future, and methods without thinking as a guide will inevitably lose continuity and persistence.”

Teacher Chu continued: "Mr. Kong is a true thinker. He discovered the essential characteristics of the human heart and human nature; therefore, the 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, and filial piety' he advocated just meets the common needs of everyone's heart, making it a continuous Traveling through more than 2000 years without interruption. Returning to reality, the most important thing to do in the current Chinese society is to reorganize the Chinese cultural system. Since it is necessary to reorganize, it is necessary to clarify its core, primary and secondary, Let people clearly have a basic criterion for improving themselves, interacting with others, and doing things. If this major event is completed one day, it will be of great success in the present age and benefit in the future. It is natural to enjoy a great name in the cultural world In other words, let hundreds of millions of people truly understand the essence of Chinese culture and get baptized from it, what an amazing thing you said.”

Wu Xiaoyang heard his blood spurting and full of passion, as if he saw a devout believer, after going through thousands of rivers and mountains, came to the holy place of worship, thousands of golden lights shone on him, and his whole body was covered with a sacred halo.

Teacher Chu said: "Since Mencius, Chinese scholars have gradually become divorced from reality. After the second Cheng of Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty, they have become more and more serious and hypocritical. The most common thing is that the explanation is clear and logical, but the actual operation is collapsed. A strange phenomenon of "talking but not doing" has formed. This trend still exists today. Therefore, since you are interested in learning, you should break through this strange phenomenon and become a scholar who is outstanding in both practice and theory. Not only can you speak, but you can also do it, and you have lofty aspirations, a big picture, and finally form a complete ideological system. This is a real master and king.”

When Wu Xiaoyang heard this, he was deeply impressed by Mr. Chu.In his 22 years of life experience, he has never seen such an outstanding person in thought. He is not at all like most scholars who try to be mystifying, but rather straightforward, practical and generous. He respectfully looks at him from the heart The elder in front of him.Of course, Teacher Chu also felt this psychological change in him, and was looking at him expectantly.

Wu Xiaoyang said very sincerely: "Mr. Chu, if you don't mind, please accept me as your student. I will study hard and never embarrass you."

Teacher Chu laughed, neither agreeing nor refusing, just smiled and said: "In two days, when Cheng Huang comes back from a business trip, let's talk together. If you have something to do, go first, I want to rest for a while."

Wu Xiaoyang and Pu Yan left Teacher Chu's house, Pu Yan also went back, and Wu Xiaoyang walked on the road alone.It was only today that he vaguely began to understand the meaning of his coming to this world.What Teacher Zhang said to him back then flashed through his mind one by one like a movie, and the specific moment revealed in the dream felt like it was coming.Although the road ahead is not so clear, even though he himself does not know what will happen in the future, however, he seems to see a golden palace in the distance, and the slowly opening gate is welcoming his steps.For the first time, he really felt that he was an extremely powerful person.

In the evening, Pu Yan sent a WeChat message saying: "Sister Cheng is back from a business trip. Tomorrow happens to be the weekend. Everyone plans to go to Fuxian Lake in Chengjiang. Teacher Chu asked me to inform you to go together and meet at his house before nine o'clock."

"Understood." Wu Xiaoyang said: "I want to ask you a question, do you have the same dream over and over again from childhood to big meeting?"

Pu Yan said on WeChat: "Yes, there have been many times, what's the matter?"

Wu Xiaoyang said: "I have told you all my dreams, so should you tell me yours too?"

"You don't suffer at all, you are amazing." Pu Yan made a big laugh, and then said: "My dream is very simple. I often dream that I live in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, without worries or interruptions. , I just feel a little lonely, the overall feeling is not bad, I don't quite understand what it means."

Wu Xiufeng said: "I don't know how to interpret dreams myself, but unfortunately I can't get in touch with Teacher Zhang who is very good to me. If she is here, can I know what will happen to your life?"

"That's right." Pu Yan said, "Alright, see you tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Wu Xiaoyang came to Teacher Chu's house, and Pu Yan had already arrived.Besides her, Teacher Chu, and Chu Xiuxiu, there was also a woman in her thirties.Wu Xiaoyang guessed that it should be Cheng Huang, the second senior sister Pu Yan mentioned.

Sure enough, Chu Xiuxiu introduced: "Xiao Yang, this is Cheng Huang, you can call her Sister Cheng." Teacher Chu sat leisurely in his seat, feeling that all this has nothing to do with him.

They put the prepared water and food in the car, and then set off. More than 70 kilometers away, it takes only one hour.When passing through Chengjiang County, Chu Xiuxiu passed through the city without making any stops, and continued to drive forward.After walking for more than ten minutes, he saw a tall resort hotel. He turned the car to the left and drove up the mountain.No one said what they were going to do, and of course Wu Xiaoyang would not ask.The car walked on the winding mountain road for about half an hour, and saw a man-made parking lot and a convenience store.

After parking the car, Cheng Huang took out the mineral water and handed it to Chu Xiuxiu, Wu Xiaoyang and Pu Yan each, but not to Teacher Chu.Wu Xiaoyang was feeling strange when he saw Chu Xiuxiu uncap a bottle of water and hand it to Teacher Chu.Teacher Chu took it without any indication, and then walked forward.

The four of them hastened their pace to keep up, and after about 20 minutes, they came to a very strong and huge building.Wu Xiaoyang looked up and saw the words "Chengjiang Fossil Land Exhibition Hall" suddenly written on it.He was wondering why Teacher Chu brought them here?Hearing the commentator's voice echoing in the empty hall, he followed everyone to browse the paleontological fossils.Rows of strangely shaped fossils are placed in rows of neatly arranged glass cabinets about one meter high: trilobite dolls, true-shaped Ildong bowls, broom-spined strange shrimps, grotesque insects -----, one Unprecedented paleontological fossils have been unearthed here one after another.According to science, the distant ancestor of human beings is the Yunnan insect. Just like many archaeological discoveries in the past, the mystery of life is like a sleeping book being opened by human beings time and time again.

After viewing the paleontological fossils, the five of them walked out of the museum.To turn right is to walk back to the parking lot, but no.Chu Xiuxiu took the lead and walked to the left, followed by Teacher Chu, Cheng Huang, Pu Yan, and Wu Xiaoyang at the end.

It is easy to see that it has not been artificially trimmed here, but there are only faint traces of people walking over it occasionally.All kinds of plants are competing for beauty, and weeds are growing on the ground. The five of them use their hands to break the grass as they walk.After walking for a while, Chu Xiuxiu stopped, looked around, and then continued walking. The others followed behind, uphill for a while, and downhill for a while.Everyone didn't speak, just walked quietly, feeling shrouded in a sacred atmosphere, solemn and solemn.

After walking for a while, Chu Xiuxiu stopped, raised his head slightly and looked at a big rock in front of him with a very suspicious expression.It was only when Wu Xiaoyang came to the front that he realized that it was a huge stone with a smooth surface and no broken streaks in the middle, and there was a faint shadow of a person.

He was looking at the big stone when Chu Xiuxiu spoke: "Xiao Yang, you will stand firmly in this position later, looking at this stone slab. Before I call you, don't leave, don't talk, and Don't make any movements, just stand quietly."

"Understood, Brother Chu." Wu Xiaoyang found that, except for Chu Xiuxiu talking to him, Teacher Chu, Cheng Huang, and Pu Yan did not express anything, they just looked at the big rock in front of them seriously, without any slack.

Wu Xiaoyang walked to the position Chu Xiu said and stood up, raised his head, and looked at the boulder in front of him very seriously. He vaguely saw his own figure reflected in the stone, but it was not very clear.At this moment, he already understood that Teacher Chu's expressions were so solemn and solemn, and there must be extraordinary meanings in them.At this moment, the wind that was originally very small suddenly became extremely fast, and the sound of howling was mixed with it resounding through the sky. The sky was much brighter at this moment.

When Wu Xiaoyang concentrated on observing the changes between the heaven and the earth, he found that the figure in the boulder in front of him disappeared, and a legendary unicorn suddenly appeared on the far right of the stone, walking from right to left step by step.Even though it was just an image without the slightest sound, it made people feel that the steps were very heavy, and every step seemed to shake the heavens and the earth.The holy beast stopped when it came to the center, raised its head, and opened its mouth wide into the air, as if giving out the most powerful roar; then, it walked forward with the same heavy steps as before, Go all the way to the far left and disappear.The time lasted about 12 seconds.

Teacher Chu and several others felt relieved as if they had completed a major historical mission.Chu Xiuxiu said: "Okay, Xiao Yang, you can move around freely now."

They stayed for a while, then started to walk back.Wu Xiaoyang noticed that the wind that was still whistling just now returned to its previous weak state, and the sky also returned to its previous appearance.For some unknown reason, a mysterious feeling rose in his heart, as if something was about to happen. He was both excited and looking forward to it, and wanted to ask what it meant just now?But seeing everyone's suspicious expressions, he didn't dare to ask, and followed them down the mountain.

Down the mountain, I came to a fish restaurant by the lake.Cheng Huang went to the waiter to order, and the four of them found a secluded room to sit down.Chu Xiuxiu looked at Teacher Chu, and then said, "Xiao Yang, what did you see on the boulder just now?"

Wu Xiaoyang said: "When the wind was not blowing, I vaguely saw a figure, which seemed to be myself, but it was not very clear. When the wind rose, the figure disappeared, and I saw an animal like the legendary unicorn. I walked from right to left, paused for a while, and looked up at the sky for about ten seconds, that's it."

Teacher Chu looked at Cheng Huang and Pu Yan and said, "Is that what you two saw?" Seeing the two nodding, he continued, "I saw the same." Finally, he said to Wu Xiaoyang, "It's very strange." ,right?"

"Yes." Wu Xiaoyang said excitedly, "I don't know what it means, and I haven't heard anyone say it."

Teacher Chu said: "That's right. There are very few people who know the meaning of it, even the locals don't know it. I read it from a very old book. The trilobite I saw in the exhibition hall just now Fossils, tens of millions of years old or even longer, are an important basis for exploring the origin of human beings. It is said that in a long time ago, people lived here on the land of Chengjiang, and there was a prosperous city earlier, and suddenly one day It sank to the bottom of the lake, and left behind a riddle, whoever can solve it will become a rich man. The most amazing thing is the big rock we saw just now, and I don’t know how many tens of millions of years old it is. According to the records in the book, it is said that it has a mysterious function. Whenever the sky is clear, at twelve o'clock noon, the person standing in front of it will show the image of an animal, and this image represents his What kind of person will you become in the future? How about it, isn’t it interesting?”

Wu Xiaoyang was very excited: "So, all of you have tried it, what happened then?"

Teacher Chu said bluntly: "Xiu Xiu shows a colorful cow; Cheng Huang shows a flying horse with broken wings; Pu Yan shows a lark; I am the same as you, A unicorn." He thought for a while and then said: "You can't tell anyone about today's matter, we just need to know it ourselves."

Wu Xiaoyang felt that a few words of modesty should be made to balance the psychology of Chu Xiuxiu and the three of them.When I looked up at everyone, I realized how insignificant my thoughts were, and there was absolutely no need to explain.Only then did he confirm that these people in front of him were truly kind and tolerant, and he also understood why they were casual and kind to Teacher Chu, with endless reverence in them.In this way, he admired Mr. Chu even more.

While talking, the food has been prepared. It is the most common copper pot boiled fish, potato stewed rice and two side dishes by the lake.Wu Xiaoyang stood up quickly, adjusted the seasoning for eating fish, and placed it in front of Teacher Chu.When he was about to give it to Chu Xiuxiu and the others, Cheng Huang said, "You just sit down, we'll do it ourselves, you're welcome."

Chu Xiuxiu picked up the tea cup and said, "Xiao Yang, I can't drink today, so I'll congratulate you with tea instead of wine. I'm really glad you showed up at this time."

Wu Xiaoyang was very surprised: "Why?"

"The specific reason, I will tell you when I find the time." Chu Xiuxiu said, "We came to Chengjiang today, and we will have a lot of fun in these two days."
