Hogwarts and the Unspeakable

Chapter 142 High-dimensional projection (8)

Although the behavior is the same,

They all jumped up from the ground and spread their huge wings.

Flying through the difficult-to-see sky, and finally flying to the distant sea.

However, there is an essential difference between "must" and "only".

The difference lies in:

Do people have the right to be picky and choose?

"Must" means that although the Dapeng can fly to the sea at any time, due to his own wishes, he is not willing to set off easily and ordinaryly. You must wait until there is a strong wind that matches your own greatness, then you can take advantage of the wind and set off with full strength.

"Only" is quite different from the former.

If we change "must" to "only", the story will change a lot.

Peng's back, I don't know how many miles.

The back of the roc is very large, unimaginable by humans, and vast beyond the reach of human imagination.

Looking at the huge back, humans usually only feel envious of that "bigness".

But no one knew, and no one paid attention to the roc's back.

It's so big, I don't know how much it will weigh with its wings and back that are thousands of miles away.

----

Perhaps the roc is just a big fish struggling in the mud, lying on its back in the mud every day, trying to turn over but unable to. Just like a patient paralyzed in bed, it is so difficult to even move slightly, let alone "fly into the sky". It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to Nanming. So how many times a year are there sea shipments? Maybe not that many times. Therefore, Kunpeng must crawl on the ground when there is no sea transportation. Perhaps the roc can only look up at the sky every day, praying for the sea breeze that doesn’t know when it will come, or maybe it will never come. Perhaps even though it was so huge, Kunpeng was not happy.

Its size is so huge that it looks like a dominant existence in the biosphere.

However, even so, it cannot escape the control of gravity.

There is no need for the ridicule of Xiao and Xuejiu.

The roc's own back was enough to crush him.

Many people have discussed this aspect:

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."

Many people regard this as a "praise", but in fact, if you think about it from another angle, it is also a curse.

After all, weight is nothing more than an abstract concept, while a crown is something that everyone desires: wealth, status, power, dominance.

One end of the scale is so small, and the other end is so wonderful, who doesn't know what to choose?

Sadly, when people wear a crown, they may not have an accurate and clear understanding of how heavy it is.

What if this "heavy" means being in the Five Infinite Hells of the Ten Evils, setting fire to the Iron Wall Mountain, and being resurrected by the wind?

What if this "heavy" is the curse in front of Sun Wukong?

Although there is a "heavy" that "seems to be a bit of a loss", this is also the price that must be borne in order to wear the "crown". In the end, people even compared and competed, wearing one crown of thorns after another. Being greedy for profit, they only see the benefits but ignore the risks.

snort. Hahaha. How ridiculous.

Allen could only sneer.

"The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan." - "Century·Chen She Family"

----

This sentence is the same as in "Xiaoyaoyou", using birds as metaphor and intention. For this reason, Allen once regarded the birds in "The Day the Birds Laughed" as stupid villagers who made fun of "King Gengchen rose up and spent money". However, there is actually a big difference between these two sentences.

When Kun and Peng were suppressed by their own weight and unable to move.

I wonder if it will see the birds flying freely in the forest.

Their weight is not very large, their skeletons are not strong, and they cannot fly to an altitude of 90,000 miles. Perhaps Kunpeng would not take them seriously at all.

Yes, the roc needs to fly ninety thousand miles above the ground so that it can fly like other birds.

Birds are born to fly ten thousand miles. If they cannot soar thousands of miles, they are not considered good birds.

Horses are born to travel thousands of miles in a day. If they cannot gallop thousands of miles, they can only be regarded as bad horses.

Human beings are born to live for a certain purpose. If they cannot achieve their goals, they can only be said to be losers.

As early as two thousand years ago, Zhuangzi had already raised such an extremely important question in the words of "Xu and Xuejiu":

"Xi took it ninety thousand miles south?"

Why do you have to fly 90,000 miles?

Why exactly?

Can you find an accurate reason?

The roc flaps its wings and takes off. How much work does it take and how many Newtons of force does it take to fly ninety thousand miles?

If you don't even have a reason, then why do you have to do such hard work?

In fact, isn't this just deceiving yourself and actively creating a religious belief for yourself, "a handmade idol"?

----

Why fly 90,000 miles?

If you look at your life with a more careful and reflective eye, you will come up with this question.

In modern society, Allen, who received a materialist education, always thought that he had abandoned religious belief.

But later he discovered that he actually had many "beliefs".

Believe in "people are superior to people".

Believe in "poetry and distance".

Belief in the legacy of agricultural social civilization that has not yet been completely deconstructed,

Faith in industrial modern civilization and postmodern civilization that are far from being fully constructed.

People always have to give themselves a value, especially a position in a crowd. After all, you have to enter the social system and actually strive to become a "superior person", whether you admit it verbally or not.

Why do we have to go “far away”? This distance is not the distance of the road, but the distance of the abstract concept.

In the end, it turned into a metaphysical belief.

It's so ridiculous.

----

Allen only spent a second thinking about these things.

But again, it seemed like it took an hour.

In this "lowest level of the world", time is now completely out of order!

Time is a difficult concept to measure.

One Allen, two Allens, three Allens.

Countless Allens.

Allen saw countless versions of himself emerging from distortion points in space.

These may be one of the countless worlds adjusted by the Dragonborn that Allen has seen in the "Breaking Point of Time and Space"!
