When they said the last sentence, the two of them had already circled back to the front of the floor-length mirror.
The gentleman stopped and reached out to tap on the mirror.
A little light bloomed from the endless darkness, the starry sky was receding, the world was spinning, and in just a moment, the mirror reflected hundreds of millions of years of world history.
Volcanoes, glaciers, cyanobacteria, trilobites, dinosaurs, erect apes, caves, stone tools, shells, bronze, jade, pyramids, the Great Wall, legions holding spears, knights all over the mountains and plains, candlelight and ax shadows in the palace, laughter and curses in the marketplace
, criss-crossing alleys, sailing ships amid the waves of the angry sea, twisting gears, steam overflowing, behind the flash of lightning, busy traffic, rockets breaking through the atmosphere, and then another starry sky.
Like a cycle.
It seemed like just a moment, and it seemed like a long, long time passed.
Countless ordinary yet extraordinary pictures were clearly reflected in Zheng Qing's eyes, making him hold his breath involuntarily.
The sir's voice sounded from an extremely distant place, directly shaking his heart:
"...All extraordinary things are born in the ordinary. Don't be fooled by the ordinary and chaos in front of you."
"It's like a foreign general was assassinated, a few old people were infected with cold, a few locusts crawled out of the soil after a heavy rain, the stock market suddenly melted and fell, a big earthquake happened on the other side of the earth...etc. These are extraordinary things.
The things are so far away from you that almost no changes have occurred in your ordinary and ordinary life."
"Until the storm stirred up by butterfly wings blows on your head."
"You sit on the shore, watching the stormy waves, holding a diary in your hand, recording today's boring and dull life. You think this kind of ordinaryness is eternal."
"Until the next big wave comes and sweeps you under the sea."
"You finally transcended the ordinary..."
"It was just a matter of a moment."
"Do you still remember what happened when there was heavy snow last winter? You were also on the shore of Linzhong Lake."
"That was a major event worthy of being recorded in the history of wizards, but the entire wizarding world remained as peaceful as ever. And for you, there was only heavy snow and a cool lip in Linzhong Lake that day..."
Zheng Qing frowned and thought carefully about every word his husband said. He did not feel embarrassed or blushed at all because of the last example he gave.
"What do you mean," he weighed his words and answered very carefully, "do you hope that I can pay attention to the subtle and ordinary things around me?"
"No," the gentleman shook his head: "I just want to tell you, don't be fooled by everything in front of you."
"He who knows does not confuse." Zheng Qing repeated the four words that his teacher said before, just like all good students who perform well in class.
The gentleman smiled and repeated the same thing: "He who knows does not get confused."
"Then how should I be a 'knower'?" Zheng Qing asked a specific question.
"This requires a long period of study and rich accumulation." The teacher did not give specific methods, but he gave two examples: "You can start from two small angles...such as yourself, such as First University.
"
"Myself?"
"What do you think of the forbidden curse seed in your body?"
"I..." Zheng Qing was a little stuck for a moment - troubled by headaches, coveted by demons, and coveted by the Moon Council, that seed brought Zheng Qing too much trouble. But at the same time, that seed was still there
It gave him great courage in many things.
"Somewhere between like it and dislike it." The wizard finally gave this answer.
"Like it or not?" The gentleman shook his head: "These two words are too superficial. To be precise, you don't hate that power, on the contrary, you like it very much. But because you don't know enough about it, you feel afraid.
"
fear.
Zheng Qing chewed on the last words given by his husband, and unexpectedly found that they fit his mood very well. He was afraid of the trouble this power would bring, and he was afraid that his inability to control this power would bring trouble to others.
"I just...just..." He murmured, not knowing where to start.
"This is nothing to be ashamed of," the gentleman said with relief: "Control of the unknown is the eternal pursuit of mankind. At this level, you are just an ordinary wizard."
Self-analysis is always very difficult.
"What about First University?" Zheng Qing switched to another 'small angle' mentioned by his husband and tried to make the topic lighter: "How do you think those conflicts in the school should be dealt with?"
"How to deal with it?" The gentleman stretched out his hand and gestured, as if drawing a big circle: "What you see is the conflict between colleges, what I see is everyone sitting together, drinking tea and chatting."
"Before the establishment of the four colleges, more wizards died every year in battles of faith than in hunting grounds or even in wars with demons."
"Now, the dean of Jiuyou is sitting here, the dean of Alpha is sitting there, and the people from Atlas and Xingkong are also sitting down... Each party uses their own means and their own needs to take their own actions, and the result is
The big result is that we still sit together."
"Seize the main contradiction and the main direction of the contradiction."
"As long as the goals are the same, Jiuyou will not harm Alpha, and Alpha will not harm Jiuyou. They have the same enemy, the demon; they also have the same pursuit, the new world."
"Occasionally, Jiuyou will criticize Alpha, and Alpha will refute Jiuyou. This kind of dispute of beliefs is within the controllable range. This kind of argument is allowed, and it will not work without fighting."
Zheng Qing's eyes lit up.
There is a feeling of enlightenment in my heart.
The problem that had troubled him for a long time found its solution in a few words. Yes, the conflict between Jiuyou and Alpha was, in the final analysis, only an internal matter within First University.
Thinking of this, Zheng Qing immediately thought of the rumors circulating in the school.
"Sir, which one do you think, Vice Principal Shi Hui or Vice Principal Ruoyu, can become our new principal?" Many students in the school have discussed this issue.
No one can convince dissenters.
"New...new principal?" The gentleman blinked, seemingly caught off guard.
"Hypothesis, just a hypothesis." The boy said happily, then glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Everyone actually knows that the principal has not been in the school for a long time, and the dummy was used in the last opening ceremony..."
The husband looked at the boy carefully.
"I think today's class was a failure." He commented.
Zheng Qing felt a little baffled.
The gentleman sighed and did not explain his comment. Instead, he answered the boy's question seriously:
"Evaluating the ability to run a school depends on how he handles uncertainty, rather than how he handles certainty. From this perspective, Ms. Shi Hui and even Professor Yao are more qualified than Sir Ruoyu.
But the school is not a country, and the principal is not a politician. It is true that we need to refer to political skills to deal with affairs to a certain extent, but more importantly, we need a gentleman who can teach and educate people.
Therefore, next semester, Ms. Shi Hui should gradually withdraw from the daily management work of First University... She will join the Wizards Alliance and serve as the new speaker of the Grand Wizards Conference. Professor Yao will replace Ms. Shi Hui and become your new
Vice-Chancellor."
The information contained in these words is very rich.
The wizard's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Then will Mr. Ruoyu become our new principal?" Zheng Qing asked, already thinking about whether to break the news to Fatty Xin - but he doubted whether Fatty Xin would have the guts to publish this source in the school newspaper.
Unknown news.
"Ruoyu? No, no, he is only suitable to be the vice principal."
The gentleman shook his head and said in a very kind tone: "If you lack flexibility in handling affairs and are too gentle with the Moon Council, you will not be able to hold the position of president of the First University."
