Zhang Yu is a very ordinary student in the third year of DZ University in H City, she has an ordinary family, ordinary appearance, ordinary grades, ordinary popularity, the only thing that is not ordinary to talk about her hobby, that is, - studying ancient texts, Zhang Yu is very admired and yearned for the ancient culture of country Z, and loves to study the ancient culture of country Z, and studies the hidden connotation, which also leads to her relationship with those roommates in the dormitory who love shopping, makeup, clothing and comparison, and the relationship is very general, in their eyes, she is a weirdo, a nerd, In addition, Zhang Yu is a rural child, for them who have lived in the bustling H city since childhood, the countryside represents backwardness, and is synonymous with uninformed hillbillies, Zhang Yu is also because of family reasons, usually does not bother to dress himself, only knows how to read, and is dedicated to studying ancient literature, resulting in Zhang Yu in their eyes, the sense of existence is very weak, and the relationship between each other is very cold, after a long time, Zhang Yu doesn't care about these things, in contrast, she has a very loving relationship with her parents and siblings, family, soothed her soul and made her more aware of the value of family affection, in her heart, her family is more important than everything.
Zhang Yu has unique insights and profound attainments in ancient literature, she is usually low-key and steady, therefore, she is deeply loved by the old professors in the Department of Literature, among which Professor Chen is particularly caring for her, when he learned that Zhang Yu is looking for a part-time job, he asked her to be his assistant, to help him do some translation and cracking of ancient texts, with Professor Chen, Zhang Yu learned a lot of things, the salary is also very expensive, Zhang Yu is very satisfied with this job, and Professor Chen is also full of gratitude.
Zhang Yu's parents are from the countryside, and there are three children in the family, Zhang Yu is the second, she has an older sister and a younger brother. With the continuous development of the economy of country Z, the living standards in the countryside have gradually improved, and people have become more and more aware of the importance of knowledge, therefore, Zhang Yu's parents have spared no effort to cultivate their children, hoping that they can achieve something in the future, among their sisters and brothers, Zhang Yu's academic performance is the best, and she is the only one who was admitted to university, because of the economic situation of Zhang Yu's family, can not afford the tuition fees of the three people, Zhang Yu's sister and brother did not be admitted to the university, and then ended their studies decisively, Choosing to learn a skill that she relied on for a living, the children in the countryside were in charge of the family at an early age, and now, her sister and brother have their own jobs. Zhang Yu's sister Zhang Yi, after learning something, became an accountant in the hospital in the township, and got married when Zhang Yu was a freshman, her husband worked as a cook in the county, and she was very good, and then she soon gave birth to a lively and lovely baby, named Wang Haoyu, and lived a very happy life. Younger brother Zhang Jian, after graduation took the driver's license, driving in the county, the treatment is not bad, the parents are farming at home, Zhang Yu himself has also worked part-time in school in recent years, so there is no burden on the family, in her sophomore year, finally, the family and neighbors are the same, built a two-and-a-half-story small building, because there are many rooms, Zhang Yu's father specially built a study room for her on the second floor, and asked someone to make a big bookshelf for her, so that she can store her beloved collection, Zhang Yu likes it very much.
Everything is fine at home, only Zhang Yu is studying outside, alone, her family is very concerned about her, she will call her whenever she is free, shouting for warmth, the warmth of her family soothed Zhang Yu's soul, she no longer forced herself to integrate into her roommates, she studied ancient literature every day, discussed ancient literature knowledge with Professor Chen, and lived a very fulfilling life, unconsciously, Zhang Yu is now a junior.
That night, after Zhang Yu returned to the dormitory, he took out his beloved "Tao Te Ching" as usual and read it, this is her bedtime homework every night before she went to college, and now she reads "Tao Te Ching" before going to bed, and it has slowly become a habit of Zhang Yu, but unfortunately, today Zhang Yu failed to keep her habit, because, when she saw the eleventh chapter, there was a sudden loud noise outside, lightning and thunder, a powerful lightning bolt crossed the sky, and then, there was only darkness left in the dormitory, suddenly, The whole dormitory building was quiet, and then there was an uproar, it turned out that the lightning had destroyed the line, and it was raining heavily outside, which brought great difficulty to the maintenance work, and in this case, the probability of calling at night was almost zero.
Zhang Yu quietly looked at the heavy rain outside the window, in this dark rainy night, her heart was filled with a faint uneasiness, the rain in H city has lasted for nearly a month, but, there is no sign of stopping, not only H city, the climate of country Z is very abnormal recently, heavy snowstorms, earthquakes, freezing rain, floods, waterlogging, mudslides, etc., all kinds of natural disasters emerge in endlessly, and rumors of the arrival of the end of the world in 2012 are also spread everywhere on the Internet, and even a special group of "waiting for the dead" has appeared. Compared with other places in country Z, H City is lucky, and it has not been affected before, in the past, Zhang Yu felt that these rumors were very exaggerated and untrue, and felt that these things were far away from him, but the recent abnormal weather in H City made Zhang Yu a little uneasy and restless.
Sorted out his thoughts, retracted his gaze, and listened to the complaints around him, such as how inconvenient it was to have no electricity, how happy he was chatting with a very handsome boy, but the power suddenly went out, what a pity, etc., Zhang Yu didn't feel Ling Ran smiled, didn't she say that the sky was falling and there were tall people on top, she felt that she was really worried, so she decided to forget her troubles and go to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Zhang Yu unconsciously remembered the "Tao Te Ching" that she hadn't finished reading, she happened to see the eleventh chapter at that time, Zhang Yu was already familiar with the content of the "Tao Te Ching", and the content of the eleventh article immediately appeared in her heart:
"Thirty spokes have a hub, when there is none, there is a car."
"If you don't have it, you can use it."
"The chisel is a room, and when it is not, there is a room."
"Therefore, there is something for profit, and there is no use for it."
The meaning of these words is: a wheel made of thirty spokes, and the hollow space can be used to hold the axle, so that the car has the function of a car. Vessels made of clay are empty in the middle, so they can be placed, so that they have the function of utensils. Open the windows to make a square, and the middle is empty, so you can put things and live in people, so that it has the function of a house. Summary: The tangible place provides convenience, and the invisible place plays a role, so it can be seen that any thing, the tangible place is just a convenience set up to achieve the purpose, and the place that really works is really its empty place.
When she finished thinking about the content of the eleventh chapter, Zhang Yu already had a faint sleepiness, and she was dazed, she did not continue to recall the content of the twelfth chapter, but kept thinking in her heart: "When there is none, there is a car." When it is not, there is a use. When it is not, there is a room. Therefore, some are used for profit, and nothing is used. When it is nothing, when it is not, when it is nothing, nothing is used, nothing is used, nothing is used, nothing is used....... In the end, Zhang Yu finally fell asleep.
The next morning, Zhang Yu didn't get up on time, it just so happened that she didn't have classes this morning, and the other girls in the dormitory didn't pay too much attention to her, so when she woke up, it was almost noon, and she was the only one in the dormitory. Zhang Yu just woke up, only to feel weak, headache, dry mouth, she wanted to get up and pour herself a glass of water to drink, but, as soon as she sat up, she felt a burst of dizziness, when she came back to her senses, but found that she was in a void, there was nothing in this void, even time seemed to be still, the surroundings were quiet, there was no sound, Zhang Yu opened her mouth unconsciously, but did not make any sound, she couldn't help screaming, but, still did not make any sound, all this, made her feel a burst of panic, Zhang Yu's first feeling was that she was dead, could it be that she died like this, so easily, it was too worthless, she was so unwilling, desperately trying to escape from this void, but she didn't expect that she really came out. After coming out, Zhang Yu calmed down and looked around, where was there nothingness, she was clearly still staying in her bedroom, still sitting on her bed.
"It turns out that I didn't die at all."
"Ah~~~~!"
Zhang Yu let out a long breath.
Everything that happened just now feels so real, especially in that void, everything does not exist, even time stands still, and the passage of time stops. Zhang Yu is in the void, the surroundings are silent, very terrifying, she feels so powerless, now, looking at the familiar environment around her, listening to the familiar sound of rain outside the window, she feels that she is so happy, people are really after the loss, they will know how to cherish more. But what happened to everything just now, could it be that I just woke up, my head hurts, and I have hallucinations? Zhang Yu couldn't help but think in his heart.
Zhang Yu began to think back to what happened just now, and when she thought of the void again, the surprising thing happened again, Zhang Yu entered the void just now again, but this time she calmed down a lot, not panicked as before, instead, she calmly and carefully examined this void. Zhang Yu found that this void is spherical as a whole, the internal space is not large, about 100 cubic meters, there is a vacuum inside, there is nothing, there is no air, no moisture, and time is also still, and she did not really enter this space, because she knew that she could not breathe at all in such a void, and the discomfort she had just woken up from was completely unfelt here, and finally, she found that she only entered this space with her consciousness, and her body did not come in with it. She looked at the place outside this void space, only to see that there were white clouds and mist outside the space, and she couldn't see it clearly, she controlled her consciousness to the edge of the space, and wanted to touch this white fog with her own hand, but this white fog seemed to be separated by a layer of enchantment, and when her hand was just about to get closer, it was bounced back, Zhang Yu couldn't, so she had to give up. Zhang Yu looked around again, but she didn't find anything, so she meditated in her heart as before: I want to go out, and then, her consciousness returned to her body again.
Zhang Yu's consciousness had just returned, and a burst of weakness came to her, originally, when she woke up, her body was uncomfortable, the fright in the void, her consciousness was separated from her body, and after staying in the space for a while, she seemed even weaker. Although Zhang Yu's body is very weak at this time, but these can't hide her inner excitement and excitement at the moment, everything just now shows that after she woke up, she has a portable space, although the volume of this space is not particularly large, in order to create this portable space, her current body has become very weak, but, all this, for the ordinary Zhang Yu, is so magical, worthy of joy, everyone hopes that they are different, although Zhang Yu is ordinary, but her heart is also yearning for these.
After the excitement, Zhang Yu ate some things, recovered his physical strength and spirit, and then began to eagerly test his ability in this space. She picked up her favorite "Tao Te Ching", with her own consciousness, imagining to put the book into her own space, and then, the "Tao Te Ching" in her hand really disappeared, she immediately used her own consciousness to check the space, only to see that the "Tao Te Ching" is floating quietly in the space at the moment, Zhang Yu is very satisfied with this, and then, she tried her clothes, food, etc., you can put it in, but when she tried to put in a living object, such as a pot of aloe vera raised in her bedroom, she failed, Zhang Yu tried again without giving up, but it still didn't work, this pot of aloe vera still stayed in her hands, and it didn't disappear, Zhang Yu knew that there was no air in his space, no moisture, time was still, and it was not suitable for the growth of plants, so Zhang Yu guessed in his heart that this might be the reason for the failure, "It seems that my space is not everything that can be put in, and living things should not be able to be put in, just like myself, the physical body can't enter my own space." Zhang Yu concluded in his heart.
Zhang Yu wanted to conduct some other experiments in her space, but unfortunately, her roommates came back one after another, so she had to stop the experiment. Through her own personal experience, Zhang Yu concluded that her spatial ability should be related to her body and consciousness, and the three complement each other, so she decided to work hard to exercise herself from now on to improve her spatial ability, but how to exercise herself, as soon as her eyes moved, immediately, she had a plan. Zhang Yu's younger brother Zhang Jian is a lover of ancient martial arts, since he was a child, he has been shouting to be a martial arts master, although, in this society, his dream is destined to not come true, in the end, he just became a driver, but, as he grows older, can not dispel his enthusiasm and dedication to ancient martial arts, Zhang Jian painstakingly, collected a lot of "martial arts cheats", after being a driver, has some capital, and even collected a few "famous knives", Zhang Yu's parents feel that their children are driving outside, and they meet many people, dragons and snakes are complicated, It is appropriate to learn some martial arts to defend himself, so he did not stop him, and after that, Zhang Jian continued to practice hard, and he really became a "martial arts master", and a few ordinary people could not come to his side, and there were few opponents in the surrounding villages. Since these secrets can make Zhang Jian a master, Zhang Yu correspondingly, with his own mind and hard work, he will definitely not be weaker than Zhang Jian, Zhang Yu's plan is to ask Zhang Jian for his "martial arts secrets", and then, to improve his strength, she thought, Zhang Jian should not refuse herself!
Here, Zhang Yu went to eat with a happy mood, but Zhang Jian, who was driving, suddenly sneezed, he rubbed his nose and muttered, just thinking that when he got up early today, he was in a hurry and wore fewer clothes, so he didn't care too much, and he was still thinking about noon, what should he eat later? didn't know that his second sister was fighting the idea of the "martial arts cheats" that he regarded as a treasure at this time.
