Chapter 288: In the Beginning

Zheng Qing didn't feel like he was a spell.

But since Mr. said so and raised questions, then as an excellent student who has been struggling under the exam-oriented education system for more than ten years, he will naturally analyze himself according to Mr.

"I'm not smart, mediocre-looking, indecisive, I feel like I'm pretty much okay with everything, and I like an ordinary life. If you want to raise a cat but are worried about the cat shedding, or defecate casually at home, you are good at a little charm, which is your teaching. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Qing paused.

He suddenly remembered the situation when he attended the student council interview last semester.

At that time, he did a similar self-analysis in front of a student council officer. And at this moment, that self-analysis unconsciously resurfaced in his mind, as if it had been deeply imprinted in his heart:

"I'm used to staying in familiar landscapes, chatting with familiar friends, eating familiar meals, living in familiar rhythms, and doing familiar and unchanging things. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to realize the point, and increased his speed slightly: "...... Personality-wise, a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. For example, you are accustomed to taking the same route to the library, stepping on the same floor tiles on the road, controlling the number of steps the same as the day before, and squatting in the same pit when you go to the toilet...... If we follow the principle of 'mutual origin', the factor influencing all my choices should be the 'convergence principle' that you asked about, sir. ”

"Moderation? No, no, the world can't be modest...... Conformist, obsessive-compulsive, familiar ......" The young public scholarship student lowered his head, wrenched his fingers, and muttered in his mouth, feeling that he was really only as thin as a layer of paper from the answer.

But it was that thin layer of paper that was firmly pasted in front of Zheng Qingshuang's eyes, so that he could never see the truth clearly.

As the old saying goes, at the end of a strong crossbow, you can't wear a reckless.

"It's okay," Mr. took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and finally interrupted the boy's dazed and comforted: "The most difficult thing in the world is to know yourself, around 5,000 years, no less." At this point, you are no worse than the others. ”

"Don't suffer from people's ignorance, and don't know yourself. ”

"Look at yourself, look at your own reasons, look at your own safety, and do you have a good time?"

"Say, I know. ”

Zheng Qing hung his head and listened to his teacher's teachings, inexplicably a little depressed.

Fortunately, Mr. did not dwell on this question for a long time, but gave the final answer: "It is 'order', the convergence principle that constructs your forbidden spell, it is 'order'." ”

The boy looked up suddenly.

"Order. "He chewed on the word and it felt amazing. Order is good, I like order, he said to himself from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you know the most basic concept of dimensionalism, 'dimensional lines'?"

"1.616x10-35 meters. Zheng Qing immediately gave the exact number, which Professor Yao had emphasized in his philosophy of magic class: "It was determined by the great wizard Planck in 1900. ”

The gentleman nodded: "'Order' is the most prominent and clearest feature of the dimensional line, but at the same time it is the most difficult to converge. Sunrise and sunset, spring, summer, autumn and winter, love and hatred, family and tribe, etc., as long as we are wise enough, we can easily perceive the existence of 'order' from the surrounding environment, but how to extract 'order' from those 'existence' is a very difficult thing. ”

"Comparatively, it is easier to extract the 'contradictions' between things. This is also why the original forbidden spell was based on 'contradiction' rather than 'order'. ”

He did not elaborate on how to extract concepts such as 'contradiction' or 'order' from reality. He suspected that even if he explained, he would not understand.

But that didn't stop him from noticing a contradiction.

"But isn't the forbidden spell 'Flood Desolation' of the Nine You Academy based on 'chaos'?" Zheng Qing felt that his brain was a little insufficient: "Is the world difficult to be both 'chaos' and 'order'?"

"So, the world is 'contradictory,'" he said with a dumb smile, "and in fact it is not a conflict...... We can observe the world from any point, but this does not mean that the world can only be interpreted from this point. ”

"Have I been a forbidden spell since I was born?" Zheng Qing finally couldn't hold back and asked the question he was most concerned about. If he has been a spell since birth, then what is the difference between the previous eighteen years of life and Truman?

'The world is fake,' the thought popped through his mind, wondering if he could construct a forbidden spell from this point of view.

If you really live in Truman's world, perhaps 'vanity' is more suitable than 'order' to be your own principle of convergence.

The thoughts flashed through his mind.

The gentleman's answer made him breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

"Of course not," the gentleman raised his eyebrows in surprise, "although your physical condition is a little special...... But you were born as a human being, not a spell. ”

"And when will I ......," asked the young student vaguely, implying when he 'became' a spell.

"At first, it was just an accident. At this point, the gentleman paused and changed his words: "I will teach you how to practice calligraphy from me...... To be precise, it started when you started practicing the talismans I gave you. ”

"Do you remember the headaches you had when you were a kid?"

Zheng Qing nodded immediately.

"As I told you, you're too mentally active, but you're too physical. To use a misapt analogy, you are like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© skyscraper, shiny on the outside, empty in the middle, and a little wind blowing it will be a mess. And most ordinary people are brick houses, the outside is ordinary, the space is ordinary, although ordinary, it is better to be strong. ”

"You were tormented by a head disease, and it just so happened that I broke through the limitations of ancient wizards, and I understood the talisman a little more, and my understanding of order was also a little deeper. ”

"Originally, I was only going to paste a layer of rune paper on the outside of your 'skyscraper' to make the building a little stronger. But in the process of pasting, I unexpectedly discovered that you have a good talent for talismans...... It didn't take you too long to learn all the basic talismans, and this speed was even a little faster than Xiao Shihui. ”

"It feels like a bit of a waste. ”

"You know, according to your initial qualifications, you don't have the opportunity to take the entrance exam organized by the First University. You're only slightly better off than the tricksters in the North. Most people like you may be taken in by some declining school of magic, passing on some old papers. That's all. ”

"So I made a little bit of a tweaking to my plan. ”
