This incident caused the programmer to re-examine the wooden plaque dug out of the ancestral grave, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that the whole thing was very strange. When he had some time, he went back to his hometown, stayed at the old village chief's house, and when he had nothing to do, he went to the ancestral hall to study the wooden sign. The front of the wooden plaque is full of words that no one can understand, and behind it is a record that Yang Haiyou remembers.

Yang Haiyou is the earliest ancestor of the old Yang family, a native of the Ming Dynasty. The programmer used many channels and contacts to check this person. Yang Haiyou was originally a Buddhist novice, and later somehow became a Taoist priest, belonging to the Taoist Southern Sect, there are not many historical records, and his only commendable achievement is to accept an apprentice named Huang Jiuying. Huang Jiuying is said to be young and wise, extremely intelligent, able to alchemy and burn yellow when he was a teenager, and is a famous grandmaster-level figure in the Southern Sect of Taoism. In the end, it is well documented that he disappeared at the age of thirty-three, "vaguely not knowing the end".

Hearing this, I said, "I've heard of this Huang Jiuying. ”

"Oh?" The programmer came interested: "How did you hear about him." ”

I said: "A while ago, I encountered an incident when I went undercover in the house of a god stick, and the father of the god stick inherited the Taoist Nanzong and believed in Huang Jiuying. ”

"Who? What's the name? The programmer asked.

"Don't ask what the name is, as far as I know, the Taoist Nanzong advocates the use of obscenity and evil techniques to maintain health, and the evil sect is crooked. I said something unpleasant, Yang Haiyou, the ancestor of your old Yang family, is not a good thing. I said.

The programmer was not annoyed and continued to talk about his research on wooden cards. He took a picture of the words on the wooden plaque and passed it on to some friends, but he didn't know anyone.

He spent a year searching everywhere for information and looking for the source of the wooden sign's text, but to no avail. In addition to Yang Haiyou, he also focused on investigating "Wang Shisheng", which was nowhere to be found.

After all, he had other livelihoods, and it was impossible for him to study this thing endlessly, so he could only treat it as a hobby, and it would be shelved after a long time. The real reason for this came two years later, when the programmer came here again for a vacation, went to the ancestral hall with nothing to do, and looked at the wooden cards again, and realized that something was wrong.

He noticed that the text on the wooden sign had changed.

He knew the words on the wooden plaque very well, studied it for a long time, and copied and transcribed it at that time, and was particularly familiar with the glyph strokes.

He hurriedly took a picture of the words on the wooden card, and then called up the one he had taken before, and compared the two and saw the difference.

Hearing this, I asked him, has the memory of Yang Haiyou behind the wooden sign changed?

The programmer shook his head: "That hasn't changed. At that time, I finally realized why Yang Haiyou called the text on the wooden sign 'Book of Heaven'. ”

Speaking of this, he took out two printed A4 sheets of paper from his bag and showed them to me, which were the wooden cards that had changed before and after.

I looked at it, confused, and asked him what the results were.

The programmer said: "I can't decipher it yet, but I can see some mysteries at the moment." ”

I asked him to talk about it.

The programmer said: "If you look at the words in the Book of Heaven, don't study its meaning first, just look at its appearance, what you think it looks like, just talk about the feeling at first sight." ”

I looked at it and said, "The glyphs are square, a bit like hieroglyphs, not Chinese characters yet, but they have the characteristics of Chinese characters, and it seems to be using words to express a painting." ”

"You're amazing." The programmer said, "If you think of the composition of the English letters, the word 'hello' is arranged from left to right, not up and down. ”

I nodded.

The programmer added: "The structure of Chinese characters in China is two-dimensional, for example, 'thief', there are up and down, left and right. It's a little more complicated than the Latin alphabet in the West. And the text you see now, after I studied it, I think it is three-dimensional. ”

I gasped, "How?" ”

The programmer said, "There are not only up and down, left and right, but also far and near." Your intuition just now is very keen, the text of the Book of Heaven is actually a painting, and the distance is different, creating a certain depth of perspective. What looks like a small square of text is actually a short sentence. ”

I've never been exposed to anything like this before, and I feel a little challenged to my perception. Looking at the programmer, he changed some of his views and exclaimed, "Amazing. ”

"And that's not even the most remarkable." The programmer said: "In fact, our human words, whether they are one-dimensional or two-dimensional, are expressed in a linear order. ”

"How?" I sincerely ask for advice.

The programmer said, "For example, the phrase 'Hello, friend, are you eating?'" Whether it is Chinese or Western expressions, they all jump out from left to right, word by word, first saying 'hello', then 'friend', and finally 'do you want to eat'. When I say 'hello,' you, as a listener, can't predict that I'm going to say 'do you want to eat?' Therefore, we should pay attention to the cause and effect, and pay attention to the linear expression of the logical order. And the book of heaven on the wooden plaque ......"

Pointing to the two sheets, he said, "It's not linear, but the whole meaning, the whole image, a large piece, appears in front of the reader at the same time." ”

"So what?" I wondered.

The programmer said, "How?!" This is a revolutionary text reform, okay! If you think so, we humans think about the world with linear thinking, but the world itself is not linear. ”

I was a little dizzy and waited for him to explain.

The programmer said: "The simplest, for example, if you listen to a book review, there is always such a saying, 'One mouth of the storyteller can't tell the words of two families, so two flowers bloom and one branch first.'" "Right? Just because what happens in this world does not come one by one, it is that many things happen at the same time to contribute to the final situation. For example, there are many theories about the fall of the Ming Dynasty and why the Ming Dynasty fell, saying that although the Chongzhen Emperor was diligent but ineffective, and what was the Xiaoice River period, and some said that Yuan Chonghuan killed the wrong person, etc., why would it cause such a controversial situation and divergent opinions? Just because in the historical period, many things happened at the same time, influencing each other and interacting with each other, like a large mass of chaos, but our human understanding of the complex situation is not enough at this time, because we have always been a linear way of thinking, that is, a line, we can only talk about A first, and then talk about B. “

I somewhat understood, pointed to the book of heaven on the paper and said, "The expression of this book of heaven is not linear?" ”

"Yes." The programmer nodded: "Don't look at me and I don't understand what is written on it, but I can feel some kind of imagery it expresses." I once took this book to a high monk for advice, and when he looked at it, he said that it was probably the language of divine consciousness. ”

"Divine sense?" I wondered.

The programmer said, "It's a supernatural power. It's like saying that the two of us are two immortals with great magical powers, and we meet by chance, and you ask me where you were five hundred years ago and what you were doing, and I heard that you made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. I said that it was, and that was the way it was...... It is impossible for immortals to be like ordinary people, making pots of tea and setting up a dragon gate array, and talking about their own events back then. “

It's interesting, I've never thought about how the immortals convey their message.

"What should the immortals do?" I asked.

The programmer said, "Send a divine sense." This consciousness includes all the events of that time, all the light and shadow, all the causes and consequences, condensed into a single consciousness, which I will send to you, and after you receive it, you will immediately understand all the events at that time. ”

It dawned on me, "I see." ”

"But," the programmer said, "this method of sending divine consciousness can only be done between immortals with matching abilities, if the immortal beats such a huge and complex divine consciousness to an ordinary mortal, I'm afraid this person's head will explode and he can't accept it." After I showed this book to the monk, the monk said that it was very likely that this book was the text of divine consciousness. ”

I didn't make a sound, I thought silently, if this text was really written by Wang Shisheng and Wang Erdonkey, does that mean that his cultivation has reached the realm of immortals? After this kid entered the ghost gate, how could his ability increase, and what did he go through?

The programmer said, "This heavenly book may be about a certain period of history, a certain experience, or a certain kind of practice. But I agree with a friend. ”

My mind was already nine days away, and I casually asked, "What do you think?" ”

"This friend of mine is very powerful, much more powerful than me, he is the leader of our non-governmental organization in Jiangbei, and he knows a lot of strange people. He showed it to his friends, one of whom had practiced in the underworld and had been to the underworld......" said the programmer.

My mind suddenly moved: "Unlock the bell? ”

"Hey, you know him too?" The programmer's eyes widened.

I laughed: "Earlier, I had a relationship with Jieling, and Xie Nanhua and the two brothers had a relationship, and I knew that Jieling had cultivated in the underworld. ”

"Yes, yes, it's Jieling," the programmer looked at me more and more kindly: "My friend showed this text to Jieling, and Jieling said that this thing is not a human text, nor is it a text from the underworld, and it is likely to come from the third world." ”

"Alien planets?" I was surprised.

The programmer shook his head: "Although the expression and imagery of this text are complex and huge, it is still in line with human civilization thinking, not like it comes from outer space. This text comes from the third world of mankind. ”

I can't imagine what it was like.
