Chapter 108 Celestial and Human The abstract artistic conceptions of time
"Time is not only the objective scale of the change process of things in the real world, but also the subjective feeling in the cognition of personal consciousness! Well, the artistic conception of time and space that is highly abstracted in subjective feelings can also be close to reality in a sense, showing a certain level of time law! ”
Dugu Feng experienced a little bit of the concept of time extracted by the two different sympathies of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Star Tribulation", as well as the power consumed to manifest them and affect the passage of time in reality, and suddenly understood in his heart.
Time, since it is a certain scale of the process of change of things, it naturally has countless ways of expression, and if you do the opposite, you can also extract the artistic conception of time from the experience of various things.
For example, the time ability contained in the magic weapon of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is that the sword, as its name suggests, is a view of time and space refined after experiencing the vicissitudes of time and the loneliness of the passage of time.
However, the divine soldier "Star Tribulation" seems to be the opposite of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", which takes advantage of people's anxiety and dissatisfaction with the long time of mechanical laws, and uses strong desire as the driving force to produce a kind of artistic conception that breaks the mechanical laws of time and manipulates the dial of the hour wheel.
These two artistic conceptions are completely different sensory experiences of time and space, with different starting points, but they can also have the effect of affecting time. In fact, it is a method of using subjective time to affect the external objective time and space, which is incomparably mysterious for ordinary people, but for a being like Dugu Feng, it is just the most ordinary inner scene and outer scene, interfering with time and space, which is essentially not much different from putting a fireball and sending a water arrow.
Dugu Feng flickered slightly, dispersed the "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Star Tribulation", and held it in the void again, condensing a sparkling and passing time sword from his left hand, forming a knife of time with the alternation of the sun and the moon and the flow of day and night in his right hand.
One reason, one reason.
Since the artistic conception of time abstracted from the legal theory of all things in heaven and earth can be directly formed inside and outside under the action of power, forming a special force that interferes with time and space. This kind of artistic conception of time is naturally not limited to "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Star Tribulation".
As the saying goes, "time is like water, never to return", the concept of time and space abstracted by the artistic conception of "passing like flowing water" is the true meaning of time like a long river. Based on this artistic conception, it is natural to embody a sword of time that shows the artistic conception of time like water.
And the same "years are like knives, knives urge people to get old" artistic conception, also represents the alternation of the sun and the moon, the flow of day and night, time is gone and never returns to the view of time and space, just as the four seasons alternate, the full moon is missing, the years are old, never stop, under the years, it also dominates the flow and alternation of time.
Dugu Feng is a swordsman, the path she took at the beginning is also the way of change of the seven emotions into the sword, out of the kendo skills, life and death in the experience of understanding, her most direct sense of time and space is the yin and yang mechanism in the movement and stillness, the displacement and trajectory in the process of swordsmanship movement and stillness, the state and traces in the change of yin and yang of the qi machine, and the subjective sense of time after the high concentration of the spirit and the relative difference between the objective time and space where the body is located.
Dugu Feng should be glad that the martial arts of the Tang world, where she was born, had become accustomed to all kinds of abstract artistic conceptions and all kinds of distorted and bizarre sense of time and space experience in battle at the initial stage. Although these experiences were originally only "illusions" from the confrontation between qi and machine and the spiritual competition, after the power grows to a certain level and the mystery of the real and the unreal can be broken, those distorted and fantastical experiences of time can naturally become real.
Immediately afterwards, the divine weapons in Dugu Feng's hands changed again and again, after the sparkling sword of time and the blade of the years alternating between day and night disappeared, there were successively the "Meridian Sky Light Sword" of heaven and earth, the sun, moon and stars, and the meridian longitude and latitude and latitude, countless quicksand flew by, swirled and extinguished, as if there was no beginning and no end, and the "Time God Sand Sword" was like an hourglass that did not increase or decrease, and the "Heaven and Earth Clock Sword" was mixed alternately by countless watches, stopwatches, clocks, alarm clocks, clocks, copper bells, etc. The wheel of history is general, rolling forward, crushing the "Roulette Sword of Destiny" and so on...... A variety of divine swords representing the concept of time appear and disappear in Dugu Feng's hands, showing Dugu Feng's understanding of time.
"Wow, the true meaning of time is ready-made, so much, so envious......"
Looking at the time sword in Dugufeng's hand that seemed to change like a marquee, Asagami Fujino suddenly showed a look of surprise and envy, just as the so-called metaphysical is called the way, and the metaphysical is called the instrument. For ordinary cultivators, when talking about the Great Dao and the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, they may talk exaggeratedly, thinking that the Tao is nameless and indescribable, and can only be understood but not spoken. However, for the existence of such a thing as Asakami Fujino, a qiē avenue mantra must be able to return to the formless and the lower to the instrument, and can only be exaggerated and returned to the truth of the state of the void, but cannot be embodied in the real reality, and the truth that changes the heavens and the earth is just rootless duckweed, which is a meaningless thing like "the dragon that does not exist in the zài".
The so-called attainment of the Tao is not just to understand a certain principle and law, but to be able to truly form the Tao and form the Tao, and the lower form to the instrument, through the formless and tangible, unchangeable, and eternal. This is just like a scientific theory, which must be empirically verified by real phenomena in order to prove that it is not a fantasy, but a scientific theory. The same is true of the true meaning of morality, thousands of legal principles, all kinds of avenues, only when they are implemented, and then they become instruments, is the true way and the way.
Now Dugufeng is able to embody all kinds of time perceptions she has gained into ready-made divine weapons, which is precisely the expression of the Dao former, which represents that she has indeed grasped the truth of time, not false, not utopian.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations Feng Ji for attaining the Avenue of Time, En, according to the Eastern Immortal Dao, are you one step closer to the consummation of the Three Thousand Great Dao? Alas, so that people can envy it......"
Asagami Fujino smiled and said hello to Dugu Feng, his eyes full of envy.
"What, we Advent are not attached to any world, in our cultivation, where is there any saying that the Three Thousand Great Dao is perfect?"
Asagami Fujino's congratulations made Dugu Feng smile and shake his head slightly. The so-called perfection of the three thousand avenues is only the practice method of some immortal worlds, and the three thousand avenues are not real fingers, but imaginary numbers, which essentially refer to the understanding of the world and the universe to reach the state of perfection, and to embrace the mixed yuan and qiē avenues, just as the fertilized egg develops into a fetus, which can come out independently and become a universe of its own.
Although Dugu Feng walked the path of eight scenes coming true and the heart sword creation, but as an advent, she did not depend on any universe, but outside the independent world, a qiē avenue creation, all of which came out of her own heart, although there was no outside world to interfere with her comprehension and understanding, but there was also no ready-made avenue mold that could be imitated, and a qiē was to create something out of nothing, and accumulate a little bit of understanding.
Therefore, the theory of the Three Thousand Great Roads actually has no meaning to her! Whether it is the real illusion, movement, yin and yang in the past, or the true meaning of time that she has realized now, it is only a certain aspect of her state of mind, what she thinks, what she does, and what she cultivates.
As for the time, she didn't know how others thought of it, but for her. The passage of time, the true meaning of the years, is just a debate of illusion, the ease of movement, and the change of yin and yang. It is the dialectical connection between subjective feelings and objective reality, the abstract description of the movement and static state of things, and the collection of phenomena in the contradictory unity process of the yin and yang of things.
"The so-called avenue is nameless, out of the heart, sincere to oneself, practiced in action, and even peach and plum without words, and it is engraved in heaven and earth!"
Dugu Feng smiled happily and dispersed the divine weapon in his hand, still empty-handed, and it didn't look like there was any change from before.
Of course, Dugu Feng's current strength does not have any improvement or change compared to before. What she is thinking about now is actually nothing more than the integration of various fragments of time and space in the past, forming a systematic and complete cognitive system, this world is not the kind of universe with three thousand avenues of existence, there is no once enlightenment, the avenue will come immediately, the tribulation test, and the benefits of heaven and earth blessings. Therefore, what she has learned this time is just to make her understanding and cognition of time and space more systematic and complete, and her ability to apply time and space is more proficient and fluent!
Thinking of this, Dugu Feng raised his head slightly, and said with feeling: "Heaven and earth are like plays, and things in the world are like chess." Being in the game, bearing the burden and adding the body, a qiē magic power, is just the intersection of inside and outside, and the fight between heaven and man! ”
"Inside and outside, heaven and man fight?"
Listening to Dugufeng's sigh, Asagami Fujino thought about it slightly, and immediately understood, and immediately nodded: "It's very apt!" A qiē supernatural power, in fact, is derived from our mind's desire and desire to change the world directly, but since it exists in a world, it must be limited by the laws and rules of a world, and the supernatural power is the intersection of the overlapping part of our mental will and the outside world, self-reality is like this, magic magic is also like this, this does seem like a game of chess players. ”
Heaven and man are sympathetic, heaven and man are one, heaven and man bear the burden, and heaven and man fight together.
Just as seeing the mountain is not a mountain and seeing the water is not the process of water, Dugufeng's cognition of the road of the unity of heaven and man is also constantly refreshing and improving.
Inside and outside, inside and outside, standing at today's height, looking back again. In the past, the sympathy between heaven and man was actually to comprehend the artistic conception, abstract reality, initially form one's own mental image and inner scene, and begin to intersect and sense the small world of the self-inner scene and the large universe outside the object, this situation is like a small circle and a big circle began to have a small intersection, and this small intersection is the root of the innate martial arts can have all kinds of abilities and supernatural powers.
As for the subsequent unity of heaven and man, whether it is the burden of heaven and man, or the fight between heaven and man, in essence, they are all making a fuss about the intersection of heaven and man, and they are always using various methods to expand and strengthen the intersection between heaven and man. They differ only in the level at which they stand, and the means they use.
