When did it start? Lu Jie thought to himself, probably innate.

For as long as he can remember, he has shown an amazing talent. His parents are teachers, and they are also very attentive to his cultivation.

Soon after Lu Jie became literate, he was able to memorize the 120 classical masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions" and retell the stories told by his parents word for word.

Not only that, but at a young age, he could quickly recall many fragmented memories of his own moment, including feelings.

His parents were shocked by his amazing memory, and his mother often said to him with emotion: "You were so smart when you were a child, and relatives and friends said that our family had a prodigy...... It's a pity that later...... Hey, forget it, maybe your dad is right. ”

His son's amazing talent didn't last long, and his parents found that as he grew older, Lu Jie became more and more mediocre.

Not to mention that his memory is no longer as amazing as when he was a child, even his academic performance is becoming more and more ordinary, and his parents took him to do an intelligence test, and the results show that it is only a normal person's level.

As the saying goes: a ten-year-old prodigy, fifteen talents, twenty mortals.

Similar cases abound, many children show amazing talent at a young age, and those who are prodigies who are admitted to university at a young age, but in the end, very few actually grow into geniuses.

Although his mother was disappointed by this, his father never criticized Lu Jie for this.

"Gain calmly, lose indifferently, strive for its inevitability, and go with the flow." His father always said to him and his mother: "Taoism pays the most attention to following nature, and I like what I want in life. If you can't ask for it, I don't have to worry about it. Bitterness and happiness follow fate, gain and loss follow fate, cultivate with the attitude of "entering the WTO", and harvest with the attitude of "birth", this is the highest state of life with fate. As long as Applejack is healthy and happy, I'm content as a father. ”

Influenced by his father, Lu Jie has had a deep interest in Taoist culture since he was a child. After he went to elementary school, he always looked at all kinds of long and boring ancient books in his father's study, and when his father made academic reports, Lu Jie would also sit quietly and listen to his mock speeches.

"Applejack, do you understand what Daddy said?" The mother walked into the room with the cut fruit, and looked at him with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, she hoped that her son would become a talent.

But Lu Jie just shook his head, as if he didn't understand: "I think these patterns are very interesting, just like the talismans drawn by Taoist priests on TV." I also want to be the Taoist leader to subdue demons and catch ghosts! ”

The mother sighed, but didn't say anything: "Look at those random things, what the hell is a zombie." ”

"What about the immortals? Are all those on TV fake? Lu Jie put down the ancient book in his hand with a curious expression.

"Not necessarily." Father Lu said with a smile: "It is recorded in the "Book of Travel" that the Northern Cave Yin Shuo Shan Yu Wu Ling Xuan Laojun once saved the people due to famine, and died of exhaustion under the Earth Mirror Mountain. The Nine Heavens Book its merits, Jin Ge remembers its jade name, and its soul is in the palace of the Tomb. The emperor sent the golden-winged bird, often wearing two wings, to cover its corpse, seven hundred years, the body is not gray. To the water catastrophe and change the luck, the flood is monstrous, the water holds its corpse, drifting in the endless, after the water, the corpse falls on the country of the first Mo Tianyu Dan, the north ridge of the Xuanqiu. In the past 40 years, through mountain fires, the fire burned the corpse. The corpse was tempered in the fire, and turned into a human, and a cloud of five colors covered it. The fire is still violent, and it is covered with spittle, and it becomes a flood of rain and water to extinguish the fire. Although he has attained the Tao, he has endured hardships and hardships. The beginning of the spirit will be the cave Yin Shuo, the single depression of the five spirits, the old king. ”

To put it simply, Father Lu is talking about a legend that many Taoist practices use the physical body to become an immortal or a corpse to become true.

Seeing that her son was confused, Lu's mother shook her head, blaming her husband for saying too much, her son was only in elementary school, where could he understand this long and complicated ancient text.

Lu Jie just picked a piece of cut apple from the plate and put it in his mouth, chewing the delicious food in his mouth, and his dark eyes also bloomed with a strange look.

The days to come will be the same, as he grows older, Lu Jie is still just an ordinary child, his grades are average in the class, his personality is quiet, and he has a few friends who can play.

After school, he and his classmates would go to the library to read books, and the borrowed ones were all ordinary.

A friend found that every time Lu Jie wandered around the ancient book classification area for a while, he walked over curiously, and saw Lu Jie put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf again, and couldn't help but quip: "You keep looking at these broken books, isn't it learning classical Chinese?" ”

"It's just that the grades are poor, so I have to watch more." Lu Jie said with a smile.

"Where did he read the book carefully, every time he casually flipped it twice and put it back." Another boy quipped: "I'm afraid it's not that the things in it are too complicated, so I'll persuade you to quit before I see it." ”

Lu Jie always smiled and didn't care about them.

For him, a glance at these things is enough.

His innate talent did not disappear, on the contrary, it became more and more terrifying as he grew older. If Yang Yuenan in the first district has an amazing memory that he will never forget, then in front of Lu Jie, he can only be regarded as a small thing.

Lu Jie has a "photographic memory", and he can recite a book once he reads it. His parents' collection of books was no longer enough for him, and by the time he was sixteen years old, he had memorized all the ancient books and materials about Taoist culture in the libraries of T City. He is well-read and self-taught, but he never shows his dew.

A real case in reality: Brad Williams, a 51-year-old man from Wisconsin, USA, has an absolutely amazing super memory, and he can clearly remember the big and small things that happened every day in the past. Brad is known as the "Google of the human body" because he recalls certain events faster than he could through the search engine "Google". American scientists say that "hyperamnesia" is quite rare, and only three people in the world are known to have this kind of "encyclopedic" super memory.

And Lu Jie also has the same talent.

Every day, every moment, everything I have seen, all the people I have seen, are frozen in my mind like a movie film.

At the beginning, he was also proud of his abilities, and when he was a child, he spared no effort to show his skills and wanted to be affirmed by his parents.

But with the passage of time, the rapid absorption of knowledge, the continuous growth of his horizons, the expectations of his parents, and the amazing eyes of others slowly made Lu Jie feel bored.

He began to feel bored, feeling that the world was not as exciting as he imagined.

Most people will think that this child's talent is one in billions, and it is a waste for these ordinary people who want to make a big career and have no ability to succeed if they don't tap all the potential without such an enviable talent.

is a genius, but living as an ordinary person is too luxurious for society.

Lu Jie's mother and other relatives have such an idea, wanting to isolate the genius with a cage, let him immerse himself in only studying, "squeeze" all the value of the genius, and contribute to society.

No one remembers that geniuses are also human beings, and they are also ordinary people who come to this world.

Instead of living so boringly, it is better to disguise yourself as an ordinary person and experience the mediocre life in their eyes.

When he was about ten years old, Lu Jie found that in addition to his extraordinary talent, he also had some things that were different from "ordinary people".

He found that he could not feel joy, anger and sorrow, and had no ability to empathize.

He will not be sad, sad, happy because of anything, nor will he be affected by the emotional changes of others.

Born in the mortal world, but without mortal feelings.

This will undoubtedly make him look very strange in the eyes of the world.

Lu Jie is well aware of this truth, and he naturally will not let himself be different.

Lu Jie covered it up perfectly, and even his parents couldn't detect any flaws.

He disguised "ordinary people" for ten years and also observed them for ten years. At first, he found that human beings themselves are more interesting than anything else, but after looking at them for a long time, he gradually became able to see through them. Whether it is parents, relatives, friends or even strangers, through their small movements and expressions, Lu Jie can guess their innermost thoughts.

Lu Jie began to feel bored again.

Just when he thought that the next few decades of life would be consumed in a long and boring day, things took a turn for the better.

Even in reality, genius really exists, but very little, very little...... So little so little that you and I have never met. But even so, there are still such people~ There are countless celebrities with super memories in history, Qian Zhongshu, Mao Dun, and Shen Congwen are all geniuses with amazing memory, everyone can search if they are interested.
