Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5415 (Five Thousand Four Hundred and Fifteen) Needle Stone

"What happened after they said that?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"After saying that, the person who said 'the needle is the stone, the stone is the needle' said to me...others have reminded me, but did I remember it?" the person replied.

The Gray Hand asked, "Did you answer him?"

“Answered.” The man said, “I said… I don’t understand what they are saying.”

"What happened next?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"He said...I claimed...that I didn't even understand that and was lying to him." said the man.

"Did you say anything?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I said I really don't understand." said the man.

"And then what happened?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man replied: "He asked me if I... understood what he said."

"Did you answer?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I was afraid of saying something wrong, so I... repeated what he said." said the man.

"Which one?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"It means 'the needle is the stone and the stone is the needle'," said the man.

"You mean you understood this?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

The man replied: "In the dream, I didn't understand it, I just wanted to say something about what he said... Dreams don't seem to have any rules to follow."

The Gray Hand Man asked again, "You said this in your dream. Did he ask you anything?"

The man said, "He... let me explain what it means."

"Explain?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"At the time, I thought of...the acupuncture and stone thing, so I said to him: 'Is it related to the acupuncture and stone?'" the man said.

The Gray Hand asked, "Did he say so?"

"He said...whatever I said is what it is." The man said. "Ah?" The Gray Hand said, "Did you understand what he meant by that?"

The man said, "No. But I think... since he said that... I can assume that I didn't answer wrong."

"What happened then?" Gray Hand asked me.

“Then I didn’t say anything.” said the man.

"Where's he?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Let me tell you...what I think." said the man.

"Did you say that?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

“In the dream, I seemed to think that it would be better not to say anything. If I said it, I might make mistakes, so… I didn’t say anything.” said the man.

"If you don't tell me, will he give up?" asked the man with gray hands.

"No." The man said, "He... kicked my hands hard. I could feel... the two ends of the needle piercing my back and... my hands... deeper. My back and hands suddenly became more... more painful. I screamed and asked him to let me go."

The Gray Hand asked, "How did he do it?"

"He kicked me again," the man said, "and asked me, 'Will you tell me?'"

"Did you respond to him?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I responded." The man said, "I no longer dare not respond. I told him... I told him."

"Didn't he continue to kick you?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I didn't kick him again immediately at this time." The man said, "I told him what I thought."

"What did you say?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I said... I just thought of the acupuncture stones used to treat people's illnesses." The man said, "I didn't think of anything else."

The Gray Hand asked, "What was his reaction?"

"He still said... whatever I said was what it was." The man said, "Then he asked me... what I thought of the therapeutic effect of the acupuncture and moxibustion."
