Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 217

Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog.Come at midnight, go at dawn.How long does it come like a spring dream, and go like a cloud without a place to look for.

At the meeting place, Xu Guangling thought of this poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty, which is also one of the 430 poems stored in his mind so far.

It's not that Xu Guangling really can't remember clearly or his memory is messed up, so that he really can't remember what happened last night, but, um, the main reason is that he seems to have no mental and physical problems now. Change.

Especially in terms of body, there is no difference in feeling from before.

The facial features are not sharper or anything, as for the relaxation of the body...it was very relaxed before.

Also, the whole park becomes a sea of ​​clouds?

This feeling was really too ethereal, so ethereal that Xu Guangling, who had always been relatively calm, couldn't trust himself at this moment.

But in fact, this matter is also very easy to verify. Let's do it again tonight, won't it be enough?If there is still the same experience, then there must be nothingness.And if not, well, let it go for now.

Thinking of it this way, the slight doubts were completely dissipated immediately.

In the morning, the two elders met as a routine, and after punching, Xu Guangling brought ten big steamed buns again at mealtime, and he ate them easily, and it was not a big problem to have another ten.

It's really not that big!

After the meal, Xu Guangling said to the two old people by the way: "Teacher, my appetite seems to have become very large recently."

In fact, the amount of food has increased before, but last night, it changed again.

"Boy, most of the time I ate steamed buns per person, what is your appetite, it's cat food!" Mr. Chen said disdainfully.

"A steamer of steamed buns, a lot? Not much, right? I guess I can eat it too." Xu Guangling said.

"A lot, I'm sure you won't be able to eat it." Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "Old Chen is talking about the kind of steamer that was placed on the big pot in the countryside in the old days. Sometimes a steamer can steam thirty or forty steamed buns." Yes, as for that kind of steamed buns, one is usually enough for an ordinary adult, but it’s amazing to have two.”

That's the meal for twenty people?

With the comparison, Xu Guangling felt at ease. ——Compared to old Mr. Chen, he is really nothing but a small witch.

Mr. Zhang said again: "Zhuoyan, you are now growing up, and it is inevitable that you will eat more, so don't worry about it."

Xu Guangling nodded, expressing his understanding.

He thought what the teacher said was that he was two or three centimeters shorter before, but now he is growing up.

In fact, the old man does not mean that.

But it doesn't matter.

He still slept after returning, but this time there was a little abnormality, that is, this time he did not see the five-color flower in his sleep, but fell asleep deeply until he woke up.This situation made Xu Guangling feel that what happened last night was not only an illusion, but also had a considerable impact on his body.

Although he doesn't know what that effect is for the time being.

Although I didn't have a dream, I woke up a little later today, um, it was much later.

Usually it is around one or two o'clock in the afternoon, but today it was three o'clock, almost directly returning to the time when he was just practicing Taijiquan.

So Xu Guangling remembered what the teacher said in the morning.

Perhaps, he is really growing now, so he needs to sleep more, like a child?

In this situation, Xu Guangling actually let nature take its course calmly. It should be said that he has always let nature take its course during this period of time.As for today's situation, the only small worry is that his daily free time may be reduced again?

In the afternoon, in the remaining one hour, Xu Guangling took a bath for half an hour, and then read a book, and those four, five, and 10 minutes passed again.

but.

Extraordinary memory, 10 [-] minutes.

Add the two together, and what is the result?

As a result, he had already read half of the book "Zhuangzi".

For Xu Guangling now, reading it means that he has memorized it, not only every word, but even a single punctuation mark is impossible to miss.

In fact, he was looking at it, not just taking notes.

If you just want to memorize this book, then the time just now is actually enough.

But even though he looked at it "slowly", Xu Guangling still didn't understand much.On the one hand, many words in this book are relatively uncommon, and many of the annotations Xu Guangling couldn't believe at all, and he didn't even read the annotations in the end.

Too pit!

The purpose of reading the annotations is to understand the original text, but Xu Guangling found that, at least for this book, reading those annotations will lead to more ditch.

It still needs to be understood by him.

The rareness of words is only one aspect, and the other is the author's description.

Among them, there are too many things that "can only be understood, but cannot be explained in words". Just a specimen.

If you have never seen a butterfly.

You can't see its elegant posture from a taxidermy butterfly, let alone appreciate its flying among flowers.

It's a good book, but right now, it doesn't seem like the time to read it.

After one afternoon, Xu Guangling had already come to such a conclusion about the book "Zhuangzi".This book, for him now, is a bit esoteric and remote.Perhaps, he should find some easier books to read first.

So, which ones to watch?

In the past, Xu Guangling must have chosen at will, and in the end, it must have been a hodgepodge.

But he had just read "Zhuangzi" just now, and in the "Health Preserving Master" chapter of "Zhuangzi", there was such a sentence at the beginning of the chapter: "My life has a limit, but knowledge has no limit. If there is a limit, follow the limitless, it is all over!" "

Xu Guangling deeply agrees!

If there is a limit, follow the limitless, it is almost over!then what should we do?

Leaving aside the higher levels, what can be done is to devote the limited time to the most exciting choices.

Therefore, choice becomes very important.

There is a saying in "The Analects of Confucius": "If you choose what is above, you will get what is in it; if you take what is in it, you will get what is below; if you take what is below, you will get nothing."

Thinking of this, the lists on the "Road to the Sages" swayed in Xu Guangling's mind. Some of them did not have any writings left, but such as Laozi and Zhuangzi, who are the oldest, they did have writings. It's a pity He couldn't read it again.

The farthest era can’t understand, so, start from the latest era and read the past backwards?

For the rest of his life, only one name remained in Xu Guangling's mind.

The next reading direction and goals are considered.Hmm, "The Anthology of Librarians", or anthologies, should there be in the library?
