"Into the gods?"
With curiosity, Liu Xing walked into the secret room, only to see Wang Tairan take out a key, open a sealed bookshelf, and take out a thick book from it.
The book has more than 1,000 pages, and it is a printed draft, and I saw seven big characters written on the cover - "General Outline of Ma Xingkong into the Spirit".
Liu Xing's eyes lit up slightly, and he didn't expect that there was still a program for entering the gods. He had looked up information on the Internet about attainment, but found nothing.
This "General Outline of Ma Xingkong's Entry into the Gods" was written by Ma Xingkong more than 900 years ago, revealing the general outline of reading techniques into the gods. ”
Wang Tairan introduced, "There are only twelve words in the general outline of entering the gods--empty birth of one, life of two, two birth of three, and three birth of all things. ”
Liu Xing frowned: "What does this mean?"
Wang Tairan asked: "You have been learning the art of reading for a while, you should know what a 'blank spot' is, right?"
The so-called blank spot, proposed by Isser of the University of Aesthetics, refers to what is not written, omitted, or underwritten in the novel. The text of the novel is limited, it is impossible to write everything out, and the blank spots exist objectively.
For example, in "Dragon Babu", there is no specific description of Wang Yuyan's measurements, so Wang Yuyan's measurements are a "blank spot" in the novel, leaving people with a certain space for imagination.
"The principle of entering the gods is to fill in the blank spots with imagination. ”
Wang Tairan said, "Novels all have blank spots, and if all the blank spots can be filled in, you can achieve the supreme state of 'the unity of people and books'." Unfortunately, the blank spots are so mysterious that it is difficult to fill all the blank spots completely. ”
Liu Xing nodded, he had a deep understanding of the difficulty of filling in the blank spots.
For example, in "Tianlong Babu", there is very little text description of "Lingbo Weibu", and Jin Yong did not write the specific steps of this set of light skills clearly at all, which is a "blank spot".
When reading "Dragon Babu", Liu Xing was asked to use his imagination to make up all the details of the light skill of "Lingbo Weibu". But Liu Xing has never seen "Ling Bo Weibu", so it is naturally very difficult to make up for it.
In the past two months, Liu Xing has repeatedly imagined the light action of "Lingbo Weibu" in his mind, but until now, he still can't imagine a real and credible set of "Lingbo Weibu".
As a result, the blank spots in the novel about "Ling Bo Weibu" have not yet been filled.
If he wants to enter the "Dragon Babu", Liu Xing needs to break through the limits of his imagination and fill all the blank spots in the novel like "Ling Bo Weibu".
"Elder Wang, how to break through the limits of imagination?"
"What is the nature of imagination?" Wang prompted.
Liu Xing thought for a while and said: "According to Ma Xingkong's theory, the essence of imagination is combination. ”
Wang Tairan nodded: "Yes, no matter how complex things are, they are also made up of simple things." ”
"There are countless types of musical melodies, but they are composed of seven simple musical notes; there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese characters, but it is composed of five simple strokes: 'horizontal', 'vertical', 'apostrophe', '捺', and 'folding'; there are nearly 1 million English words, but it is composed of 26 simple letters; and there are thousands of kinds of computer software, but it is composed of two simple numbers, '0' and '1'. ”
"It's not just music, Chinese characters, English, and software that are combined, it's the same with everything in the world. Whether it is flowers, birds, fish and insects, or wind, thunder, rain and electricity, whether it is rivers, lakes and seas, or the sun, moon and stars, they are all composed of more than 100 kinds of chemical elements. ”
"As long as you grasp the law of combination, you will grasp the mystery of creating the world. ”
"There are endless ways to combine, but even complex combinations are developed from simple combinations. More than 900 years ago, Ma Xingkong exhausted his life's learning and finally discovered the most basic structure of composition, which he named 'dimension'. ”
"The primary combination method is called 'one-dimensional', the advanced combination method is called 'two-dimensional', and the winning combination method is called 'three-dimensional'. ”
At the same time, Ma Xingkong introduced dimensional theory into reading and hierarchically divided imagination. Primary imagination is called primary imagination, advanced imagination is called two-dimensional imagination, and superior imagination is called three-dimensional imagination. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xing suddenly remembered something and said: "There are many three-dimensional structure diagrams in the textbook, are these structural diagrams the 'dimensional diagram' of the combination law?"
"Not bad!"
Wang Tairan nodded and said, "The structure diagram in the primary tutorial is a one-dimensional diagram, and the structural diagram in the advanced tutorial is a two-dimensional diagram. Now you should be able to understand the meaning of the twelve words of the Divine Syndicate, right?"
Liu Xing thought about it and suddenly realized.
Ma Xing's general outline of empty entry into the gods, "empty birth of one, life of two, two birth of three, three birth of all things", introduces the four steps of entering the gods.
Empty oneness refers to the stimulation of one-dimensional imagination by blank spots, which is the starting point of imagination.
Life 2 refers to the combination of one-dimensional imagination to generate two-dimensional imagination, which is an advanced technique of imagination.
Two to three refers to the combination of two-dimensional imagination to generate three-dimensional imagination, which is the winning skill of imagination.
Three-life all things refer to the combination of three-dimensional imagination to generate all things in the world, which is the highest state of imagination, also known as god-level imagination. When entering this realm, he has already gained insight into the ultimate combination law of the universe, and has the god-level imagination of the brain to make up all things in the universe, and can fill all the blank spots in the novel, so as to achieve the supreme state of the unity of man and book, that is, to enter the gods.
Although the general outline of entering the gods is only twelve words, the hundreds of millions of scholars in Huaxia have struggled for nearly 1,000 years, but they only stay in the second step of entering the gods.
More than 900 years ago, Ma Xingkong completed the first step of entering the gods and summed up the one-dimensional imagination technique, which is called the "one-dimensional era".
40 years ago, the four great book kings joined forces to complete the second step of entering the gods, combining the two-dimensional imagination technique, and this stage is called the "two-dimensional era".
Now that 40 years have passed, Huaxiaguo's reading skills have stagnated, and they have always stayed in the second step, and the last two steps of entering the gods are far away.
They are like an insurmountable huge chasm, which lies in front of all Chinese scholars, and it is beyond reach.
Liu Xing was curious: "How can I complete the last two steps of entering the gods?"
"To complete the next two steps of enlightenment, it takes a great deal of imagination. Unfortunately, the current human imagination is far from reaching this level. ”
With a long sigh, Wang Tairan sighed with emotion, "Unless there is a genius of imagination that has not been encountered in a thousand years, it will take at least a few hundred years for reading to enter the 'three-dimensional era'." ”
"Genius of imagination?"
Hearing these words, Liu Xing couldn't help but think of himself.
Ever since he crossed over, he had found that his imagination seemed to break through the sky, several notches higher than ordinary people, but he couldn't find the reason.
"Elder Wang, why do some people have a particularly good imagination?" Liu Xing asked with concern.
Wang Tairan, who has devoted himself to the study of reading for more than 80 years and has a profound knowledge in the field of thinking, said: "According to the viewpoint of modern thinking, imagination can be divided into two kinds of thinking, one is divergent thinking and the other is convergent thinking. Only with both of these types of thinking can we have a top-level imagination. ”
Liu Xing basically understood, in a word: perfect imagination = divergent thinking + convergent thinking.
Imagination, like fishing, involves casting a net before reaping it. Casting the net means divergent thinking, and closing the net means converging thinking.
Some people cast a big net, but they can't hold it, and in the end they can't catch a single fish, which is because the convergence thinking is too poor.
Some people have a very tight net, but the net is very small, and in the end they can't catch the same fish, which is because the divergent thinking is too poor.
Only by perfectly combining divergent thinking and convergent thinking, casting a wide net and tightening the net, and achieving free retraction, can we have the top imagination.
Unfortunately, divergent thinking and convergent thinking are inherently conflicting and cannot exist at the same time. People with good divergent thinking tend to have poor convergent thinking, while people with good convergent thinking have relatively poor divergent thinking. The two are like fish and bear's paws, it's hard to have both. ”
Wang Tairan continued, "Unless a person can have two consciousnesses, one for divergent thinking and the other for convergent thinking, which do not interfere with each other, but can complement each other, it is possible to have a perfect imagination. ”
"One person has two consciousnesses?"
When he heard these words, Liu Xing's chest shook violently and pounded, he finally knew why his imagination was beyond ordinary people.
Because he really has two consciousnesses!
Liu Xing is a traverser, this body originally had a consciousness, and after being possessed by the traversal, it naturally became two consciousnesses.
Although the two consciousnesses have become one, they are relatively independent and are capable of each being responsible for different ways of thinking.
The consciousness of the original owner of the body is a mental patient and is responsible for divergent thinking, while Liu Xing's own consciousness is a normal person and is responsible for converging thinking.
The two consciousnesses cooperate with each other to make the most perfect combination of divergent and convergent thinking, thus forming a powerful imagination.
Consciousness of the mentally ill + consciousness of a normal person = perfect imaginative consciousness!
In the entire Huaxia Kingdom, no one can have a double consciousness like Liu Xing, he is the only one who has the ultimate imagination.
More than 900 years ago, Ma Xingkong brought reading into the first yuan era; 40 years ago, the four great book kings brought reading into the second yuan era; if there is someone in China who can create a three-dimensional era of reading in the future, this person is Liu Xing.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, he originally thought that entering the divine was out of reach, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that the divine penetration was close at hand!
Not only can you see it, but you can touch it!
The theories in this "General Outline of Ma Xingkong into God" can't be done by others, but Liu Xing can.
Liu Xing cleared his throat and asked weakly, "Elder Wang, can you lend me this general outline of the gods?"
Wang Tairan smiled faintly, as if he had expected Liu Xing to ask such a question, and said, "This general outline can be borrowed from you, but you must promise me one thing first." ”
"What's the matter?" Liu Xing felt that the old man seemed to be prepared.
"You should be familiar with this novel, right?" At this time, Wang Tairan touched it in his arms and actually took out a novel.
The cover of the novel has been yellowed, Liu Xing looked familiar, and looked at it carefully, only to see a picture of an ancient tomb printed on the cover, and on the edge of the pattern, there were four big characters written - book tomb notes!

Ps1: This chapter shouldn't be too complicated, right?
The first 100,000 words are all laying the groundwork for some basic concepts of reading, a bit of a style of setting flow, and some of the content is a little cumbersome. In an overhead reading world, these foreshadowing are indispensable.
However, when this chapter is written, the foreshadowing is basically completed, and the plot flow route begins later, and the wonderful plot is officially opened. It should also be easier to read.
If you don't understand the content of reading, it won't affect the reading of the plot, so you don't need to delve into it. →_→
Ps2: The concepts of 'blankness' and 'text summoning structure' used in reading in the text originated from the famous German receptive aesthetician Wolfgang Isser, and are concepts in receptive aesthetics. This book is borrowed and extended.
In order not to mislead readers, the article also uses the name "Issel" directly. Of course, the Isel in the book is certainly not the same person as the Isel in our real world. In order to prevent some misunderstandings, I would like to make a statement. →_→
