As for the dualistic opposition between subjectivity and objectivity, there has never been a unity and consensus since human beings tried to understand the world and themselves in the way of thinking. But it is precisely because of this that speculation began to emerge from contradictions, and speculation brought sublimation, which gave birth to philosophy, and also made the spiritual world of mankind today incomparably rich.

Obviously, in the spiritual world of Huansheng, the maverick is further than me, and I am just trying to decipher the core of "Zhuang Shengxiao's dream of butterflies": is Zhuang Sheng the self, or is the butterfly the self? But Huansheng has completely subverted the basis of the existence of this problem.

Cao and I have already understood that Huansheng is only proving his point by citing the example of the American lawyer: human consciousness is a material existence, but the state of existence is not necessarily the objective material world. This sounds a bit winding, but in simple terms, Johnson and butterflies are two different ways of expressing the same world, or ways of knowing. I'm sorry, but this explanation is still very winding, I can only understand that Zhuang Sheng is the self in the waking state, and the butterfly is the self in the sleepwalking state, and how the external manifestation of the self is different, the subjective consciousness is the same.

However, I understand that Huansheng believes that we have been unable to self-recognize the line between waking and sleepwalking. In the past, mainstream scientific theories denied that in the sleepwalking state, the subconscious mind can replace the ontological body, respond to the external world, adapt to the external world, and even change the external world. But that American lawyer apparently broke that law, and so did Ding Jian. Ding Jian has always been in a state of sleepwalking, but he doesn't know it, he can still integrate into the real world, but he is controlled by his subconscious, and the world he sees must be very different from ours.

For Huansheng's inference without objective basis, even if Team Cao has silently accepted it in his heart, he still can't admit it.

"Huansheng, even if it can be proved that Ding Jian is in a sleepwalking state, but what is the cause of it? When did he start to enter the sleepwalking state? If this is just a special behavior produced by him alone, I really don't see any connection with this search and rescue plan, do I?"

Huansheng listened to Team Cao's words and slowly shook his head, but his voice became a little weak.

"Lao Cao, Lao Chang, there are not many cases that I have participated in with you, but none of them can be explained by common sense, which one is not the one that has many unsolved mysteries until the case is closed? ”

"When did you say that Ding Jian began to enter the sleepwalking state, because of what entered the sleepwalking state, this is actually the most fundamental connection between him and the Eastern Star, in my opinion, it should be from Ding Jian boarded the Eastern Star, and finally did not get off the ship in time, so that the fog on the ship began to engulf, all the contradictions began to appear at that time, and unfolded in different directions. ”

From that point in time, Ding Jian's own account of what happened and what Wang Huzi described began to be significantly different. On the surface, the statement of the boat boss is the same as that of Wang Huzi, but when I think about it deeply, the experience of the boat boss is closer to Ding Jian. Is the dream of boarding the Dongxing really just a dream? I prefer to believe that it really happened, and the ship's boss also entered a state of sleepwalking that night, boarding the Dongxing, and Ding Jian must have met him, but after he recovered from sleepwalking, he regarded this experience as his own dream and his own imagination. ”

"I went to see Ding Jian sketching on the deck in the past two days, I have a feeling that I can't describe his paintings, my imagination is too rich, and a lot of content is not the scene opposite him at all, you can think that Ding Jian has entered a fugue state, expressing a lot of inner self-consciousness. ”

However, after I came back from the Ji'an incident, I spent a lot of time in the painters' village of the Old Summer Palace, and it seems that the creative process of many painters, that kind of inner and very self-like things, most of them I understand as a concept, such as the distortion and deformation of real things, the visual differences caused by the changes in time and space of real people, the contradiction and the amplification of the sense of estrangement brought about by the mixing of different elements, in short, these are all a creative technique, a kind of expression of modernist painting. ”

"In order to find this creative technique, to enter this state of forgetting things and self-forgetting, the group of painters in the village used a lot of deviant methods: alcoholism, drug abuse, looking for all kinds of women, and a group of penance, tattoos, and even self-harm, so most people could not understand the creative life of artists. ”

"But looking back, if we take Ding Jian's behavior as some kind of artistic process of his own, you will find a lot of irrationalities. Some of the illusory scenes and characters he shows in his paintings have a very strong sense of substitution, you will definitely think that he has experienced it, rather than simple imagination, and these are by no means out of thin air, there is a very strict logical relationship, in short, his paintings are full of fantasy and metaphors, and they are expressed in the most realistic way, and they are so expressive, what does this mean?"

Huansheng said a long time in one breath, stopping and looking at the two of us in a daze, obviously worried that we wouldn't be able to understand what he was trying to say.

"It shows that we can collect Ding Jian's paintings now, and now is the time when he is at a low point, maybe in a few years, he will paint it, and we can make a lot of money. Team Cao hugged his elbows, squinted at Huansheng, and snorted. I know that it is completely unacceptable for Huansheng to use the theory of artistic creation to explain the event itself.

"Lao Cao, when is it now, do you still have the time to joke? I know you think this is too ridiculous, but what I am stating is the fact that once an artist's personal painting style is formed, it is difficult to change, and this change itself also takes a long time cycle, Ding Jian came down from the East Star, his work style is the same as before, how can an artist not be aware of such a change? But I talked to Ding Jian, and he had almost no impression of his previous works. ”

"Unless Ding Jian still exists in a sleepwalking state, I can't explain this phenomenon. Similarly, the beginning of the change of style, just after he returned from the East Star, I can confirm that it was something on the East Star that caused Ding Jian to enter a sleepwalking state, and he has not woken up until now, and now the world in Ding Jian's eyes must be different from what we see. In a sense, he is the link between us and that world, and as for why we can't find the Eastern Asterisk, it's because the Eastern Asterisk is not in our current world. ”

The slow and heavy words of Huansheng are like a boulder falling into the water, which sounds a little far-fetched and even absurd to the rough, but when you think about it, it is the only assumption that can run through many mysteries, like a key, a key with a hideous appearance and intricate design, and when you see it, you will forget what you are looking for when you open the door.

"Lao Chang, if it is really as Huansheng said, then Lu Binglin's encounter in the desert is very likely to be very similar to the Dongxing, maybe it is the world behind the Xuanmen that we have faced, the old man didn't say that there was a breathtaking illusion in that deep well, so look at the mirage is the image of that world, and even the entrance to that world, Lu Binglin realized this, so after the Devil's City incident, he resolutely terminated the experiment. ”

And later on the boat, the quarrel between Lu Binglin and Wei Zhihua was also because of this, one was ready to make a desperate bet, and the other knew the danger behind it, Lu Binglin couldn't convince Wei Zhihua because he didn't know what was in the Devil's City, and he couldn't prove the danger. Wei Zhihua didn't listen to Lu Binglin's suggestion because Zhejiang had predicted the appearance of a mirage, and the unknown machine below must have played a role, and it was impossible to stop the plan because of Lu Binglin's past. If Ding Jian and Wang Huzi joined in because they had the experience of boarding the East Star, then we must have gotten on the ship because of the Xuanmen. In this way, it can be explained, it can be explained. ”

After listening to Huansheng's words, Team Cao seemed to feel even heavier in his heart, muttered a few words to himself, and simply squatted on the edge of the hatch, smoking vigorously one cigarette at a time.

"Lao Chang, didn't it mean that only the boss of the fishing boat had been irradiated by an unknown device? I just sent Ding Jian back to the cabin where he lived, and Ding Jian's body surface had obvious blue-purple scars, which seemed to have been burned by high temperatures. When he put him on the boat, it was strange to feel a thin layer of mist around him, as if it was emitted from his body by being overheated, and a little yellowish. But I touched it, and my body temperature was normal, and it was slightly lower. This is by no means a hallucination on my part, absolutely not. ”

Therefore, the people on the fishing boat that day were not only the boss of the boat who was exposed to fatal radiation, but also Ding Jian, but Ding Jian's body had not collapsed, perhaps because he was sleepwalking himself, and he was not aware of the adverse reactions of his body. Thinking of this, I came to you, this scientific research ship must have radiation monitoring equipment, test Ding Jian, you can determine that the ship boss did not have a dream that day, but was in a state of sleepwalking like Ding Jian, got on the ship, and went to a place on the ship with Ding Jian. I think that Wei Zhihua and the people above must find the Dongxing, which should be related to this radiation source. Huansheng grabbed my hand and said anxiously.

(Those who turn the boat of ten thousand hues are found by a wood; those who send a crossbow by a thousand jun are by an inch.) One eye can see the sky, and one person can be a king. It is too vast and endless, too vast and imagery. If you get the outline of heaven and earth, know the house of yin and yang, and see the hidden of the spirit, you can take the number, you can live, and the world can be repeated. --"The Book of Transformation")
