Chapter 128: Heaven in the Library
After having no worries for the time being, Huo Zongtang began to think about a problem: how to make good use of this money to improve his life function, and even ...... Heading towards the final defeat of "Oppenheimer's atrophy"?
With this question, he spent the ten rookie points he had earned from the freshman test and got a very valuable opportunity to enter the "Library Pavilion".
The library of the True Martial Arts Academy, similar to the library of the school in the previous life. But for the Hanxing world, where the way of civil and military affairs flourishes, the status of the library of the school is as important and sacred as the "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion" of Shaolin Temple.
In the library, there are many rare and valuable collections. Whether it is a literary masterpiece or a martial arts classic; Whether it's the most common popular book or a specially licensed collector's book, you name it. Among them, there are even some treasures and authentic books that have been collected for more than 100 years.
Among them, the first floor of the library is a place where students can come and go and borrow ordinary books at will, just like the library in the previous life. Above the second floor is where the treasured and authentic books are placed. That's another world, another universe.
Huo Zongtang spent his hard-earned ten rookie points in exchange for the opportunity to study on the second floor of the library for ten days.
Walking down the ancient wooden staircase and coming to the huge wooden door on the second floor, Huo Zongtang was a little dazed. The wooden gate was so tall that he had the illusion that he was standing in front of the gate of a huge castle.
After checking the points from the old man guarding the door, the huge wooden door slowly opened, and the appearance of another world gradually appeared in front of him.
The space on the second floor is huge, and the ceiling is at least sixteen or seventeen meters high from the white dome, which makes the entire second floor look like a tall and magnificent church.
As far as the eye can see, the ten-meter-high huge bookshelf stands like an ancient stone monument, silent, solemn, solemn, and eternal like a god. The ancient and clean shelves are densely packed with treasures, volumes, and countless words sleep in the books, containing a vast sea of knowledge and mysteries.
The huge wooden door slowly closed, and the hustle and bustle of the world suddenly disappeared, leaving only a silence of the soul.
Huo Zongtang slowly walked among the tall bookshelves, and his heart was slowly occupied by an emotion of shock, reverence, surprise, and admiration.
If the entire library is a universe, then every book on the bookshelf is an entrance to this universe. The universe is endless, and the entrances to the universe, the passages, are equally endless.
These invisible passages and routes intersect and merge in time and space, forming light, images, and pictures of the concept of time and space, which make people reverie countless times.
Countless literary masterpieces silently release spiritual fluctuations, as soft and beautiful as moonlight, and call him silently.
And those martial arts classics are like gentle flames, emitting light in the loneliness of time, making people can't help but stretch out their hands and feel the heat and energy in them.
Time is gone, desire is gone, all the dirt of humility and vulgarity is purified here. He was like a child who had been baptized by the Holy Heaven and the Holy Heaven, who had a clear soul and possessed all the brightest divinity.
The Argentine master Jorge Borges famously said: If there is a kingdom of heaven, it must be the appearance of a library.
This well-known poem goes like this:
Poetry of Talent
No one can read tears or blame
to blink down the power of God
Declaration, God with his wonderful irony
Gave me books and nights at the same time.
He let the blind eyes do the work
The owner of this book city, this can only be clear
Read in the library of dreams
Meaningless chapters, they are all made by the dawn
Give it the desire. day
Squandered its infinite curls in vain before your eyes
They are as difficult as those in Alexandria
The hard manuscript that was burned.
Because of hunger and thirst (a Greek legend tells of it)
A king was dying between a fountain and a garden;
I didn't wander aimlessly in this blindness
The Library, the tall, deep prison.
Encyclopedia, Atlas, Oriental
with the West, centuries, dynasties,
Symbols, the doctrine of the universe and the origin of the universe
Provided by the walls, but useless.
In my darkness, the vanity of darkness
I groped slowly with a hesitant cane,
I'm always imagining the kingdom of heaven
is a type of library.
Something that certainly can't be named
The word fate, arranges it all;
The other was in another misty night
I have also received these countless books and darkness.
Wander through the slow galleries
It is with a sacred nameless fear that I often feel
I'm the other one, the one who died, ever
Walking the same steps on the same day.
Of the two, who wrote the poem
A plural and I still walk a lonely shadow?
And what is the word that named me?
What if the curse is the same, the same?
Grussack or Borges, I watched
This dear world transforms and extinguishes
Become a pile of pale, fuzzy ashes
It's like a dream, or a forgetting.
In Borges's poems, the library is a kingdom of heaven, but also a universe, a dream, or a forgetfulness, his magical, sacred, countless knowledge and ancient souls in the book, constantly accumulating reincarnation in this quiet space, so that this heaven on earth has eternal attraction and appeal.
Huo Zongtang slowly recovered from that shock and intoxication, and began to look for the books he needed on the tall shelves.
These shelves are too tall, and a row of bookshelves is like a heavy wall, filled with thousands of books. However, since these books are all hand-copied "soul texts", and each book has its own special soul fluctuations, it is not as difficult as imagined to find a book in the vast sea of books.
As long as you scan the bookshelf with your mind, the names of all the books will gradually appear in your mind. Mental power scanned the huge bookshelf like a wave of water, and it became clear whether there were any books in them that they wanted.
Huo Zongtang kept scanning five or six bookshelves, but he couldn't find the book he wanted.
On the second floor of the huge library, there was hardly a single person to be seen. The only few students were either intently searching for books or looking through the books in their hands.
Huo Zongtang searched for the eighth bookshelf, and the mental power released suddenly trembled slightly, and a name appeared in his consciousness: "The Biography of Hawking"!
Got it!
Huo Zongtang looked at the highest layer of the bookshelf, his spiritual power strengthened, and the book shook slightly, fell from the bookshelf, and fell into Huo Zongtang's hands.
Huo Zongtang found a place by the window and looked seriously under the bright light.
The "Biography of Stephen Hawking" he found was written by a famous master in the West. This master's name is Romain Rolland, in Huo Zongtang's memory, Romain Rolland is a famous biographer of time and space on earth, but in that world, Romain Rolland was born in 1866 and died in 1944. And Romain Rolland of Hanxing Time and Space is also a literary master, who is now over 100 years old, but he is still alive.
Han Xing's high-level civil and martial arts cultivators generally have a longer lifespan than the earth's time and space, so there are often such people or things that are "misplaced in time and space".
Romain Rolland was a close friend of Grand Master Hawking and knew his life very well. Therefore, this "Hawking Biography" is regarded as the most authoritative of all Hawking biographies and the one closest to Hawking's real life.
Huo Zongtang chose this book for a reason. Hawking is currently the only person in the world who has defeated "Oppenheimer's atrophy", his life, his cultivation, and his experience of fighting the disease are of great reference value to Huo Zongtang, an Oppenheimer patient!
Huo Zongtang stood by the window and looked at it intently. The brilliant daylight outside the window slowly turned from golden to red, and then slowly disappeared and dimmed. Huo Zongtang's figure was slowly stretched on the empty wooden floor, and then gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Before he knew it, he had been in the library all day, from early morning until late at night.
Goo-goo! Huo Zongtang's stomach, which was completely ignored, began to protest strongly. Huo Zongtang then opened the food box, turned out a small piece of dark red jerky, and put it in his mouth.
The texture of the jerky is quite dry and hard, but after chewing a few times, the shredded meat will spread out one after another, turning into a greasy gum between the teeth, and Huo Zongtang's lips and tongue are filled with a strong mellow meat fragrance, which makes him tongue and tongue full of satisfaction.
And the mellow flesh foam gelatin, after entering the stomach and intestines, quickly turned into a warm current, quickly passing through the whole body, like quickly replenishing the thick essence of life, and the feeling of hunger and exhaustion was suddenly swept away.
Huo Zongtang looked at the jerky and sighed in his heart: It is worthy of the jerky of the second-level war beast purple wolf, full of energy, and a small piece of three fingers is completely enough to completely fill the consumption of the day! After being hungry for a day, he only ate such a small piece and felt full!
It seems that expensive things do have their own reasons for being expensive!
After solving the problem of eating, Huo Zongtang closed the book and began to fall into thought.
According to this "Biography of Hawking", some of Hawking's remarks and cases did give Huo Zongtang great inspiration.
Oppenheimer's atrophy is an all-round devastation of people from physical to mental. People who suffer from this disease will slowly be physically and mentally damaged by the disease, and gradually fall into a situation from which they will never recover.
Therefore, Hawking pointed out that only by refining martial arts and literature refining gods, and working hard at the same time and going hand in hand, can it be possible to win back a glimmer of life in the hands of fate.
In terms of martial arts refinement, Hawking pointed out that people's breath and the "qi" of the human body are very important. This is the basic means and the first key to improving physical fitness.
In fact, the theory of qi, Hawking still got inspiration from the Eastern martial arts culture theory.
He borrowed from Huaxia's martial arts qi refining theory and made further interpretations of it. He defined qi as "invisible blood" and "flowing essence of life", which runs through the blood, muscles, bones, and internal organs of the human body, and externally, circulates between the sun, moon, stars, and all things in heaven and earth.
Cultivating and strengthening the body's qi, and at the same time absorbing the qi of heaven and earth, can consolidate and grow the essence of life, discharge the body's waste and toxins, thereby improving the body's health status and improving the quality of life.
Therefore, the first step in martial arts refining is to cultivate and refine qi. This kind of obscure and unpopular theory was not recognized by Europeans. However, after the practice and propaganda of Master Hawking, it has now been widely recognized and accepted by Europeans.
And this view is close to Huo Zongtang's own understanding. After all, the "Yijin Sutra" and "Washing the Marrow Sutra" that he brought from the earth's time and space are also important foundations for refining qi.
Regarding how to refine qi, Hawking pointed out that in addition to his own cultivation day and night, the consumption of some "qi-replenishing" medicinal materials and nutritional products is also extremely important.
Huo Zongtang nodded straight at it. He decided that that money, at least a large amount, would be spent to buy medicinal herbs and nutritional products to replenish qi.
In terms of literary refinement, Hawking believes that in addition to ordinary reading and writing, there is also a basis that has been ignored by people - the theory of "meaning".
The so-called "meaning" is a kind of energy that originates in the brain and manifests itself as a fluid of life information.
From the perspective of ordinary people, meaning is perception, judgment. When you touch ice, you feel cold, when you touch a stone, you feel hard, and when you see a beautiful woman, you feel beautiful. At a higher level, the meaning contains emotions. If you kill the enemy on the battlefield, you will have hatred and killing intent; If you stay with your lover for a long time, you will have love; When you meet a soulmate, you will be happy; If you win the lottery, you will be happy; There will be sadness when you lose your heart......
But for more advanced literary cultivators, it means a high-level soul form that contains the spiritual power of literature. It is a force that contains complex connotations such as psychology, emotion, and personality. The primary form of the mind may be just a formless, colorless flowing thought, which comes and goes without a trace, without a trace; The advanced form is the soul that can transform between heaven and earth, and it is a miracle of spiritual life.
In any case, literary cultivators can give information to the movement of matter through "thoughts", causing substances to change their physical and chemical forms, which is also known as "soul superpowers".
Stephen Hawking has such a shallow metaphor for this principle.
He believed that the human brain is the center for the production of mental superpowers, similar to a "nuclear power plant". What makes this "nuclear power plant" work is literary resources such as poetry, prose, and novels – the so-called "nuclear fuel". As for the so-called "meaning", it is actually the "nuclear radiation" emitted by this nuclear power plant.
The more nuclear fuel, the higher the power of the nuclear power plant. The higher the power of a nuclear power plant, the farther and more powerful the radiation can be released.
This metaphor is really ingenious, and in just a few sentences, the relationship between literary resources, brains, and ideological power is clearly explained.
Ordinary people think that as long as they work literature itself, they can naturally become mentally strong. For example, if you read more and write more, your literary cultivation will improve, and your spiritual power will naturally be strong.
Such a view cannot be said to be wrong, but Hawking pointed out that most cultivators in the world only attach one-sided importance to literature and ignore the training of "meaning". The accumulation, digestion and creation of literary resources are of course extremely important. But the exercise of "meaning" is also equally important. The two are mutually reinforcing, but it is a pity that people in the world often take care of one at the expense of the other, and are biased.
Therefore, Hawking further put forward the theory of "refining the mind", trying to exercise the mind through special methods, stimulate the brain from another angle, and promote the improvement of mental power. This method of cultivating from the outside to the inside is completely contrary to the tradition of cultivating from the inside out.
I have to say that this is a creative and extremely bold theory, which is equivalent to suddenly discovering a new road on the basis of a road from ancient Huashan, completely breaking the traditional theory of literary cultivation, which is enough to shock the entire literary world!
However, when Huo Zongtang saw this, he suddenly scolded in his heart!
Fuck you!
