Chapter 5415 (Five Thousand Four Hundred and Fifteen) Needle Stone
"What happened after they said that?" asked the gray-handed man.
"After that, the person who said 'A needle is a stone, a stone is a needle' told me... Others have reminded me, but I haven't remembered it," the person replied.
The man with gray hands asked, "Did you answer him?"
"Answered." The man said, "I said... I don't understand what they are saying."
"What happened next?" the gray-handed man asked.
"He said... I claimed... that I couldn't even understand those things, so I was lying to him." The man said.
"What did you say?" the gray-handed man asked.
"I said I really don't understand." The man said.
"What happened next?" asked the gray-handed man.
The man replied: "He asked me if I...understood him."
"Did you answer?" the gray-handed man asked.
"I was afraid that I would make a mistake, so I... repeated what he said." The man said.
"Which sentence?" asked the man with gray hands.
"It means 'the needle is the stone, and the stone is the needle'." The man said.
"You mean you understand this sentence?" the gray-handed man asked.
The man replied: "In the dream, I didn't understand it, but I just wanted to follow his words... say something... In dreams, there seems to be no rules to follow."
The man with gray hands asked again: "You said this in your dream. Did he ask you anything?"
The man said: "He... asked me to explain what it meant."
"Explained?" the gray-handed man asked.
"At that time, I thought of things like... the Needle Stone, and I asked him: 'Is it related to the Needle Stone?'" the man said.
The man with gray hands asked, "Did he say so?"
"He said...whatever I say is what it is." The man said. "Ah?" said the gray-hand man, "did you understand what he meant at that time?"
The man said, "No. But I guess... if he says that... I can assume I got it right."
"What happened next?" Huishou asked me.
"Then I didn't speak." The man said.
"Where is he?" asked the gray-handed man.
"Let me tell you... what I think." The man said.
"Did you say it?" the gray-handed man asked.
"In the dream, I seemed to think that it would be better not to say anything. If I did, I might make mistakes, so... I didn't say anything." The person said.
"If you don't tell me, will he just give up?" the man with gray hands asked.
"No." The man said, "He... kicked my hands violently. I could feel... the two ends of the needle pricked into my back and... my hands... deeper. I My back and hands suddenly became more painful. I screamed and asked him to let me go."
The man with gray hands asked, "How did he do it?"
"He kicked me again," the man said, "and asked me again: 'Will you tell me?'"
"Did you respond to him?" the gray-hand man asked.
"Responded." The man said, "I no longer dare not to respond. I just told him...I said."
"He didn't continue to kick you?" the gray-handed man asked.
"If I didn't kick him again immediately..." the man said, "I told him what I thought of."
"What did you say?" asked the gray-handed man.
"I said... I just thought of the needle stone used to treat people's illnesses." The man said, "I didn't think of anything else."
The man with gray hands asked: "What was his reaction?"
"He still said... whatever I say is what I said." The man said, "Then he asked me... what I thought of the therapeutic effect of the needle stone."
