Chapter 408: The Great Labyrinth
He killed and wounded the man in order to prevent him from further harming Donna. The scary thing is, did this "blocking" also cause Donna to lose in some kind of process? If he can enter the labyrinth of stone walls, he will be able to rendezvous with Donna and lead her out safely.
Humans have been building labyrinths for 5,000 years. During the different periods of the world's cultural development, these peculiar buildings have always attracted people to walk along winding and difficult paths in search of the truth.
Human beings have a natural fascination and fear of labyrinths, because those complicated bifurcation paths will completely squeeze people's thinking ability, and finally lead to mental exhaustion and death.
As we all know, ordinary people rely on vision to guide their way, and once they lose their vision, they rely on touch or even smell to help them move forward, and that becomes quite difficult. When the senses of sight, touch, and smell are lost, human beings will despair and go crazy in the labyrinth, and finally have a mental breakdown.
Lin Xuan was facing a spiritual labyrinth at the moment, and if he wasn't interested in the flower branch pattern, he wouldn't have fallen into it. He and Donna are both masters of intelligence, and they are unwilling to be trapped by the labyrinth, so they will mobilize all their energy to fight against the labyrinth, with the goal of defeating the labyrinth and opening the door.
"There are about 600 branches...... There are eighteen flowers on each one, so there are 10,000 in total, and each flower has its own unique appearance, representing a small labyrinth of independent elements, which is composed of stamens, petals, and calyxes...... Countless small labyrinths are connected into large labyrinths, just as countless small houses make up a skyscraper. If you want to get out of the building, you have to go through every small room......" Lin Xuan thought silently in his heart.
He believes that Donna used the same calculation.
He moves his gaze and enters the maze from the upper right corner of the flower branch, which is the most correct way to play in a traditional maze. According to the orientation principle of "up, north, down, south, left, west, right, east", the upper right corner of the maze is "northeast", which is the place where the energy of the maze originates.
A famous European warlock once said that the northeast corner of every territory on the earth is the most powerful place. Stick to that position, you can ascend the throne and sit in the palace, open up the country, and become the lord of all generations.
For example, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty in the past originated in the northeast, clinging to its dragon vein, and later led the people to win the world, and enjoyed the twelve emperors for a total of 267 years. Later, the President of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen, under the command of the "Thirteen Taibao of the Xingzhong Society", went deep into the Jedi Canyon of the Changbai Mountain in the northeast, and dug up the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty at the risk of death, so as to overthrow the Qing court and enter the new Republic of China.
Modern people think that the words of a warlock should not be believed, but many truths are hidden in those specious theories, and they must be cracked by wise people before ordinary people can see them.
Soon, Lin Xuan entered the core of the labyrinth, that is, the most complicated place of the flower branches. He suddenly discovered that there was another layer of labyrinth hidden under the flower branches, similar to the scene seen on the surface, but the ten thousand flowers on the second layer were also different. In an instant, the complexity of this labyrinth doubles, and the energy required to solve it must increase accordingly.
"It turns out that this is a three-dimensional labyrinth - there is no way to retreat, you can only grit your teeth and move forward!" He pushed himself to lift his spirits and keep going.
In Lin Xuan's memory, the earliest labyrinth was built in the Mycenaean period around 1600 BC in a royal palace in the capital of Crete, and it was very similar to the 12th-century BC labyrinth painted on clay tablets found in Pylos, Greece.
By the Roman period, labyrinth motifs became the preferred ornament. In the mansions of the nobility, the vestibule and dining room were decorated with labyrinthine motifs. At the center of these geometric patterns are often scenes from ancient mythology: Theseus and the slain Minotaur. At that time, people seemed to be more concerned with the form of the pattern, and sometimes did not care that there was something wrong with their "labyrinth" - they could neither get in nor get out.
By the time of Christianity, the divine power of the labyrinth returned. The whole life of man is like a labyrinth, and the center of this labyrinth is the turning point of life. Only through the difficult and tortuous pilgrimage path of guΓ² can one say goodbye to the sinful life and reach the center of the labyrinth, where the purpose of life is found.
In the small motifs used to decorate manuscripts in the early Middle Ages, the shape of the labyrinth changed. Wesseburgsky made the lines that make up the labyrinth pattern form a Christian cross, and thus a variety of Gothic labyrinths were born. The motifs of these labyrinths are often used to decorate the entrance to the cathedral. Chartres Cathedral, for example, is a labyrinth. To get to the center of the church, you have to make 28 turns - the same number of days as a lunar month......
Lin Xuan suddenly gained enlightenment in his memory: "Many times, how to get through the maze is not important, those external paths are just a simple obstacle. The important thing is that while human beings use their brains, their own physical potential is greatly improved, and they become strong on the road of life. On the land of Tibet, Tibetans run on the difficult pilgrimage road to Lhasa, their lives are a labyrinth, and some have never left their tents since they were young. However, they believe in the importance of pilgrimage and believe that 'pilgrimage' will give them the strength to accompany them for a lifetime. There is a labyrinth in the depths of everyone's mind, which is the original sin that a person is born with, and no one can avoid it. Only by breaking the myth and getting out of your own labyrinth can you look at the world......"
When he thought about "getting out of his labyrinth", he suddenly shook his whole body, because he was keenly aware that his mind was always bound and not really liberated.
In other words, when he first entered Tibet, he made the tasks assigned by the organization his top priority, and no matter what he did, no matter how busy he was, he would always put the "task" first. When Donna disappeared in the ghost lake, he made finding Donna his top priority. This change in goal is determined by his thinking, rather than sticking to the same until death.
He lives for the "task" and "Donna", so when can he return to the time when "I see my heart, I write my heart by hand", examine his inner world, let himself live for himself, and be a perfect person......
Now he thinks he knows what to do, but he is wrong.
As Su Dongpo said in the poem "Title West Forest Wall": Looking horizontally, the side of the ridge becomes a peak, and the height of the distance is different. I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.
So, when he is in the maze of flowers, every step he takes is right or wrong? Should he live for Donna, for the organization, or for himself?
First of all, how about not finding Donna? What if you can't complete the task?
Secondly, what if you find Donna? What if it's for the organization?
Don't miss it when you pass by, you can enjoy a lot of money when you see it!
