Chapter 104: The Fat Man's Story (2)
The first half of the eighth century to the first two decades of the ninth century. At this time, China has abundant products, the country and the people are safe, the frontier is stable, and the treasures are abundant, and it is a prosperous scene. The small barbarian states of the Quartet regularly came to congratulate them, and with their strong military, economic, and financial powers, as well as the rule of the Shengming monarch, it was recognized as one of the most successful periods in Chinese history.
Cha Wenbin is a Taoist disciple, but he has also read books for a few years, and he is by no means the kind of old antique who only knows how to pray to gods and worship ghosts all day long. Why did the fat man appear there, this is an impossible existence!
As we all know, time cannot be reversed, and if someone can go back in time from modern times, then all history will be disrupted. The development of the times and the progress of science and technology are inseparable from one truth: knowledge! The reason why mankind has started a development in modern times that far exceeds that of the past few thousand years is because of the birth of a group of scientists in modern history. Such as Einstein and Newton, with these basic disciplines, and on the basis of complete scientific theories, the era will soar with creation.
Just ask, if a person with modern knowledge brings back to ancient times mathematics and physics, which only appeared in modern history, then all subsequent developments will be greatly shortened, which will indirectly change the future, or even have no future you. This becomes a paradox: if you change history, you will not be there in later history, and you will not be able to go back and make changes if you don't appear.
Therefore, seeing this, Cha Wenbin has only one conclusion: that is, it is too illusory!
In Chinese history, the earliest clear record of the illusory realm should be the famous "Liezi 61 Biography of King Mu of Zhou", which records a series of bizarre stories about King Mu of Zhou's journey to the ancient kingdom of the Western Regions. In Lao Tzu, "not seeing, not hearing, and not being able to knead" is an ontological description of an image, intended to be indescribable, an image without an image, a shape without a shape, and later generations attributed the description of this image to "too illusory".
"Too void" is the Tao. Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" believes that the Tao is great and quiet. In the classic saying of the Tao Te Ching, it says: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things." "Taoists believe that the origin of the world is the Tao, which is scientifically understood as the chaotic state before the beginning of the universe, and everything that follows is developed from this chaotic infinite world, which of course also includes time.
Before the invention of the microscope, people did not know that the original human body was composed of cells, and cells were composed of a series of other parts, modern science has given us a series of molecules, particles and so on can make the macroscopic world continue to microscopic conditions, in fact, everyone knows that a particle can continue to decompose infinitely, until the most primitive state is the so-called beginning of the universe.
In fact, this is also the nature of energy, formless and formless, but it constitutes the world, and these energies are invisible or touchable but everywhere. So the wise people invented a way to invoke in this world of energy bodies: primitive witchcraft. In the days before science took shape, these people were even as powerful as gods.
Of course, matter at any level has a basis for its composition—reason. We can't explain this reason, and Lao Tzu can't say it, because Lao Tzu said I don't know its name, so the strong word is said. Many things are not consistent from the macroscopic and microscopic perspectives, such as the Tao is very Taoist, and Hawking found that when an object exceeds a certain critical point, it is impossible for us to explain it normally. It is a state of nothingness. In short: today's human cognition of the world is still in a rather superficial state, looking at the world with three-dimensional eyes, we can only feel it in the three-dimensional world, just like a two-dimensional plane will never understand that the three-dimensional three-dimensional will have one more axis than it. If one day, when people's wisdom breaks through again and goes to a higher level, then there may be more subversion and more bizarre discoveries.
Human body and mind come from that distant and subtle world, whether it is the body or the mind, we can't do without that initial world, so Lao Tzu can tell the world: Tao is everywhere. Tao is not a religious term, nor is it a method of practice, it is everything, it contains everything that you can see, you can feel, and everything that you know and know but exist, and this is the Tao!
The human body can only return to that world through death, but the human mind can return to the original world through moral self-realization. Therefore, the true meaning of life is to survive by living! How many people can know the truth of this life? How many people can prove it? Ordinary people in the world regard themselves as "me", and wise people regard their hearts as "me", but they do not know that "Tao" is the real me.
Empty to have a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Festival, it is difficult to escape the vain half of the life of Huangliang Nanke!
Cha Wenbin understands that this is just between fiction and reality, dreams are true and false, in dreams we will never think that it is fake, so do you say that it is true or false? I think the answer actually has its own merits, for the dream, this is true, and when you wake up everything is empty, then it is false. But what if you don't wake up from the dream?
This dream is too illusory, a kind of world where people can't distinguish between reality and fiction, why would the fat man go to such a world and play such a role, Cha Wenbin didn't know, he could only watch quietly. Ye Huan once said to him that everything here only belongs to the chosen person, and anyone and the occurrence of the story has a considerable guidance and a deeper level of Tao that he can comprehend. There are too many ways to present the Tao, and it has nothing to do with whether you are wearing a scarf on your head, whether you have a mountain gate number or not, whether you are awake or dreaming, as long as you are still in this world, the Tao does not exist anywhere.
"I know she may not be her, but I want to tell you that I really existed." With that, he pulled out the dagger in his shoe, which was his belongings, and slowly carved his name on the scabbard: Shi Dang!
Looking at the crooked name, the fat man smiled self-deprecatingly: "If I come, then I am safe, do I belong here originally, or did I travel through time and space to the present?" Hearing this, Cha Wenbin's heart was shocked, that's right, he never seemed to have thought about this problem!
This is a preconceived notion, because the fat man is too familiar with him, the first time they met was a teenager, accompanied by ups and downs all the way, so in his mind, it is impossible for the fat man to go back to the past. So is there another possibility, he originally belonged to that era, and then inexplicably came to the present thousands of years later? The answer is yes! Because Gu Qinghe once told him that time can only move forward and not backward, when the speed is as fast as light, time will stand still. Theoretically, if a person maintains the speed of light, he will not age, and when time passes a thousand years and this speed stops, he will be a thousand years later!
In the years of Jin Ge Iron Horse, a general like the fat man only relied on Kong Wu's powerful body, he claimed to be a general when he first met Cha Wenbin when he was a child, but he didn't expect it to be here to fulfill his dream.
After a short time, suddenly a few people hurriedly ran over and whispered to the fat man, and the fat man's face changed and shouted: "What, the princess is gone!" ”
"You whisper......" The visitor was very flustered, and he said: "If the Holy One knows, our heads will have to be moved, so I specially came to discuss with the general whether we can send a few trustworthy people around here to find her back, as long as we escort the princess safely to the Kingdom of Khotan, no one will know about today's fork." ”
The fat man hurriedly began to get up and order troops, the number is indeed not much, there are five men in total, in this vast wilderness, where can a woman run? Besides, this neighborhood is guarded by his own soldiers, so he must not be too far away. These people immediately scattered with torches, which was a big crime of losing their heads, and no one could afford it.
The team of sending relatives is still kept in the dark, and the few women who know about it have been controlled, riding his high-headed white horse, the fat man is riding in the dust, and the big knife in his hand is shining in the cold light in the moonlight, that woman is not willing to go against your heart after all. With one breath, the horse galloped out seven or eight miles, and with a "whoop", the horse's hooves jumped high and then stopped and spun around the crumbling river. The fat man pulled the leash and twisted the horse's head to the man dressed as a sergeant behind him and said: "Now they can't catch up, I have committed a capital crime against the princess, but I can't leave my brothers, princess, please take care all the way, along the Yellow River to the east is your hometown, and to the west is the vast snow-capped mountains, how to choose is up to you." ”
"General Shi, why do you want to help me......" It turned out that this soldier who followed the fat man all the way was the real princess, and no one would have thought that the fat man would use this trick to secretly send people out of their sight.
"Because you look like a friend of mine," said the fat man, "maybe I'll go back, maybe I can't, but it doesn't matter anymore, whether it's a dream or a real thing, I think he'll want me to do it." ”
"He, who is he?"
"Another friend of mine is also the person I respect the most in my life." The fat man threw a package to the woman and said: "There is a change of clothes and coils in it, water and food are in the burden on horseback, after this time, Miss is no longer a royal child, please remember your new identity, you are no longer surnamed Li, your surname is Yuan, your name is Xiaobai, Jiangnan people, your parents died early and came to Saibei to join relatives......"
