Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

Yan Dan brought Tao Qingfeng to Huada, originally to see the oracle bone inscriptions.But the delay on the road, when I took a taxi to the University City campus, it was already late.

"It's time for dinner, let's eat first." Yan Tan watched Tao Qingfeng put on his hat again after getting out of the car, put on his mask, and stretched his scarf nervously, and said with a smile: "Yes, you can't show your face here. There should be quite a few people who know you."

Although Tao Qingfeng is not well known to the whole people, young people are the most enthusiastic and trendy group of people who pay attention to gossip.

What's more, even if you don't know Tao Qingfeng, the university is a place that tends to pay attention to handsome men and beautiful women.Yan Dan is already eye-catching enough, on the road there are students constantly calling Teacher Yan with staring eyes.If Tao Qingfeng showed his true face again and the two of them walked together, they wouldn't be able to pass through the commercial street at the entrance of this prosperous university city before meal time.

Outside every university campus, there is always a street full of mouth-watering food: including but not limited to Shaxian snacks, Lanzhou ramen, pancake stalls, milk tea shops, cafes, Chongqing noodles, Guilin rice noodles, donkey meat fire, BBQ stand.

Yan Dan led Tao Qingfeng through the most lively stage of the street, and said, "Don't eat at the roadside stalls here, there are too many students."

Although the various aromas are really mouth-watering, the appearance of those students holding pancakes or skewers does look very happy.Tao Qingfeng thought to himself, if he had a chance, he would come and enjoy this kind of ordinary people's fun.

After walking about 800 meters, there is also a row of restaurants behind the corner of the street. There are far fewer students here, and most of them are dining places.There is a western restaurant in the innermost, Yan Dan took Tao Qingfeng into it.The booths inside are very tall and there are few people. Sitting in the innermost booth is like sitting in a small private room.

The boss came to order in person, smiled and said to Yan Tan: "Mr. Yan, welcome, welcome, I am very happy to see you here again."

This restaurant is a western restaurant opened by students themselves. The owner is very young, the price of the restaurant is not expensive, the menu is quite youthful, and there are various dazzling discount items on it.

Seeing that there was no one here, Tao Qingfeng also took off his scarf, hat and mask, revealing his full face.The young boss looked at him in surprise and asked, "You look like a star."

Yan Tan smiled, pointing at the menu: "Don't ask so many questions, okay? I'm very hungry, what would you recommend today?"

The young boss quickly took the menu with a smile, and said, "This weekend, if the two of you eat together, order the couple's set meal, half price on weekends."

Tao Qingfeng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said suddenly: "I, Teacher Yan and I are not lovers."

Yan Tan smiled, looking in a good mood, and said to Tao Qingfeng: "It's okay, this is a set menu item to attract students."

The young boss laughed and said, "Mr. Yan's friends are really honest. There are many students who come here. They are not lovers but pretend to be lovers for the sake of discount."

Yan Tan raised his eyebrows: "If you're not a couple, don't you give a discount?"

The young boss smiled and said, "Mr. Yan is an exception. You get a discount by swiping your face. Your friend's face can be combined to get a [-]% discount."

Yan Dan and Tao Qingfeng laughed together.The young boss went to place an order.

Yan Tan introduced to Tao Qingfeng: "This restaurant has an 'honorary title' for a one-stop dinner station for a Huayue date. Basically, the people who come here to eat are couples or soon-to-be couples."

It's so strange, it's clear that Yan Tan's tone is so frank, and his expression is very natural, he should just be introducing the situation to him, right?However, Tao Qingfeng somehow felt an indescribable... ambiguous feeling.

Could it be because Yan Tan smiled more today, and Tao Qingfeng felt a slight fever when he recalled Yan Dansheng?

Tao Qingfeng quickly gathered himself together and asked, "What is 'Hua Da Date a Dragon'?"

Yan Tan said: "In every university, there are always lovers' slopes, love groves, Tongxin Lake and other holy places for dating and confession. Huada also has them. This is a popular way among students. After visiting these places, then Come to this 'Valentine' western restaurant for dinner—Valentine is the transliteration of Valentine, which means Valentine's Day in English. After eating, go to the dormitory building to place confession candles and send roses. It is called 'one-stop'."

Tao Qingfeng said with a relaxed smile, "It sounds like Teacher Yan is very familiar with this process?"

Yan Tan was very straightforward, without any concealment or embarrassment, he said: "Yes, I have been confessed too many times."

Tao Qingfeng continued: "No wonder I am so familiar with this restaurant."

Yan Tan continued to say very bluntly: "But I never promised. Today is the first time to eat with you."

The strange ambiguity in Tao Qingfeng's heart surged up again. He always felt that Teacher Yan's words were weird and meant something, or was he overthinking?

Seeing that Tao Qingfeng was still unresponsive, Yan Dan secretly smiled helplessly, thinking that Guangchuan really didn't understand.Although it seemed to him almost nakedly provocative.Tao Qingfeng had to say the words "I like you" into his ear in order for Tao Qingfeng to understand.Even if he said that directly, Guangchuan would definitely be very scared, and the other party's knot might not be able to let go of it for a while.He wouldn't bother Hirokawa so directly.

A gentleman does not take advantage of others, and a gentleman does not force the will of others, but a gentleman advocates the unity of knowledge and action, and will never stay at the level of ideas.The decided matter must naturally be put into practice, and within the scope of not embarrassing the other party, I still decided to try.Perhaps that was an opportunity to help Guangchuan get out.

The couple's set meal was served quickly.There are steaks, pizza, pasta, red wine, fruit salad, and the amount is very large.In order to echo the theme of sharing between couples, all the food is served on a single plate, and the plates are heart-shaped.

"It's very ripe, I think you're not used to eating steak with blood on it." Yan Tan cut a piece for him with a kitchen knife.Tao Qingfeng tasted really good after eating it.Tao Qingfeng has always been very surprised by the way of eating western food. Fortunately, the knife and fork are not difficult to use.

"The pattern of letters on the bottom of this steak plate is Europa, which is quite interesting." Yan Tan said, "It's not a plate imported from Europe. This is a person's name, Europa, a princess of Phoenicia. Zeus, the king of gods in the myth, took a fancy to her, turned into a bull, and lured her to ride on his back. He abducted her to a strange land and gave birth to him three sons. It’s named after the name. It’s probably my student’s bad taste to use Europa alphabet plates to serve steaks.”

Tao Qingfeng listened with great interest. Although he had read general education books, he didn't know much about Western mythology.It was very interesting to hear Yan Tan say it, and said: "I think this god king is very rude. He is a princess after all, can't he propose to marry her in a normal way?"

Yan Tan said: "Zeus' first wife, Hera, was jealous. Of course, he himself did retain the ferocious animal nature in the original mythology. He didn't care much about the other party's will. He just looked at the beauty of the princess and didn't want to offend his wife, so he turned into a beast and kidnapped people. Yes. If I like someone, I must respect the other person’s ideas and take care of his feelings. Come on, have a bite of the authentic beef steer, and treat Europa as justice.”

As Yan Tan said, he picked up a sliced ​​steak with a fork and fed it to Tao Qingfeng's mouth.Tao Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, but felt that Yan Tan had fed him before when his hands were bad.There should be no other meaning, so he lowered his head and took it and bit it.

Yan Dan said softly: "Reciprocity is reciprocal, you should give me a bite too."

Tao Qingfeng felt that strange feeling welling up again. Is this also the category of modern people's "reciprocity"?Feeling that something was wrong, Tao Qingfeng obediently cut a piece of beef, forked it carefully with a fork, and wanted to pass it to Yan Tan with the fork, but when he handed it over, Yan Tan directly lowered his head and took the piece of meat away.

Yan Dan felt like a crab trying to swing its big claws, exaggerating "I am here", and under the premise of not allowing the pincers to hurt the other party, it made the other party realize that he liked him.Although so far... he feels that Guangchuan's vision in this area is about zero.The crab in his heart is trying to bark its teeth and claws and clamor: Use the pliers a little, pinch him lightly, then the other party will realize it.

But Yan Dan couldn't bear it.At most, use the top of the chelicerus to touch it if there is nothing.It's a pity that Tao Qingfeng didn't respond at all, and couldn't move.

The young boss who occasionally glanced at Teacher Yan’s booth at the front desk wiped the red wine bottle indifferently, thinking: Teacher Yan is so funny, everyone else is not a couple pretending to be a couple, but Teacher Yan and his boyfriend are still pretending in front of him Not a couple.Is it necessary?It's not that you feed me and I feed you when you eat, it's so boring.It's really a poor single dog.

The owner of the western restaurant thought: No wonder Mr. Yan has the nickname "Sand Beach" (taken from the fact that many girls were rejected by Yan Tan's confession, but there are still some people who follow her. The teacher is the "beach".), never looking for a girlfriend.It turns out that they are niche-oriented.Teacher Yan's kind of person must be very demanding. Just look at the level brought here today. It's so easy to find.

Although the young western restaurant owner didn't know it, the content of the conversation between Mr. Yan and his "boyfriend" was not as boring as he imagined for the time being.

"Guangchuan, later, I want to take you to the reference room of our department. All museums, archaeological research institutes, and photocopied materials of ancient books and documents are backed up there. If you want to check the reference documents of oracle bone inscriptions, as long as they are handed down , there are basically electronic backups there." Yan Tan deliberately emphasized the word "handed down", and continued to introduce, "When the batch of important bamboo slips in Guodian came out, our department also cooperated with relevant archaeological research institutes to write documents. It's a pity that I didn't participate in this project at the time, and I don't have much say in this aspect, and I don't know as many oracle bone inscriptions as you, Guangchuan. It seems that I have the opportunity to study hard this time."

Although Tao Qingfeng didn't know the real intention of Yan Tan's cliché, he suddenly thought of it in his heart - what if there were not as many documents used to compare oracle bone inscriptions in modern times?Judging from the lack of context in Li Lian's "Tiyong Shulun", this situation is very likely to exist. After all, the literature comparison at the time of Dachu was scattered in many Benjinshi series.Tao Qingfeng wasn't sure, all those things had been handed down.

If you can't find it, wouldn't you be very passive?Tao Qingfeng hurriedly gave himself a way out, and said, "Actually, most of them were watched in my hometown when I was young, and they may not be accurate now..."

Yan Dan rolled his eyes, and hit the snake with the stick: "During the trial, it was said that your hometown is Haiji Village? Remember you told me that there were sweet-scented osmanthus outside your home when you were young?"

Although Yan Tan did not participate in the trial, his classmate who was a judge showed him the trial records, which did not comply with the regulations.But the atmosphere of human favor in Huaguo society is very heavy, especially this kind of favor that Yan Dan gave him back then so that his muscles melted.

Tao Qingfeng choked for breath, he was not familiar with the situation in Haiji Village.I don't know if there are conditions for collecting books there, let alone if there are osmanthus flowers growing in the geographical environment there.He really told a lie, and he had to use countless more flawed lies to cover it up, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he froze for a moment and couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Yan Tan sighed, and threw out one of the possibilities he had thought about before: "Guangchuan, do you know that there are some herdsmen in Tibet who have never touched writing in their entire lives. Suddenly one day, they woke up from a dream. , just like a different person who can recite the tens of thousands of lines of the "King Gesar" epic. This kind of person is called "divine granting", which is a supernatural phenomenon that has not been cracked so far. Experts have repeatedly recorded their Rap and sing diction, I found that these illiterate people with no educational background can recite tens of thousands of lines of poems, and repeat them many times without any difference, just like having a rich literary treasure in their minds. National Social Sciences Institute, set up a special institution to study this matter."

Tao Qingfeng was stunned, and hesitated, "So who are those people?"

"They seem to have awakened different souls hidden deep in the subconscious." Yan Dan said, "Some god-given rappers insisted that they were King Gesar's subordinates in their previous lives. So I think souls really exist. Yan Tan asked: "Guangchuan, have you ever had this kind of experience? Did you wake up one day and feel that..."

Tao Qingfeng reacted very quickly, secretly thinking dangerously, and said: "I feel that a different soul has awakened in my body? Teacher Yan thinks that in my growth experience, there is a lot of knowledge that can be accessed beyond my identity? I don't believe I read it from the library. here?"

Yan Tan stared at him, and told the truth: "Guangchuan, there are actually many oracle bone inscriptions, and there is no comparison at all. Where did you read it from?"

Tao Qingfeng choked for breath, but he couldn't react any faster, and walked down the steps as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "Mr. Yan thinks that it was passed down by that kind of mysterious 'divine grant' soul?"

Although there was a discrepancy with the actual situation, Tao Qingfeng realized that this was really a good step to explain, such things have actually happened in modern times.The country still has formal research institutions, and there is more than one such person. Does that mean that he will not be treated inhumanely like a monster?

Yan Tan repeated: "Just tell me, where did you read it?"

Tao Qingfeng groaned for a moment, and thought about his words: "I can't remember clearly... Teacher Yan, you also know that some fragments of my memory are missing. I really don't know clearly, and I don't know where I read many things. Perhaps, It really just popped up in my mind. Like those people..."

Yan Dan said solemnly: "This phenomenon occurs frequently in Sichuan and Tibet, and they all recite Tibetan epics. You are memorizing the ancient Chinese classics and chapters, and," Yan Dan paused: "Did I say anything? Wrong? Your knowledge system is all before the Great Chu. You don’t seem to be familiar with even ordinary events after the Great Min dynasty.”

Tao Qingfeng was secretly happy that Yan Dan actually gave him such a complete and logical reason to explain his inconsistencies in knowledge and style.He decided to try his best to cooperate with Yan Tan's words: "So, maybe, my soul was awakened by an ancient person in Dachu? Although it seems that it is not very complete, it is intermittent, so sometimes my memory is confused."

Yan Tan's heart tightened, big Chu, big Chu again.The vivid things in his dream——Suddenly Yan Dan realized in astonishment that the reason he went to explain to Tao Qingfeng seemed to quietly coincide with what happened to him.Were those dreams an ancient soul awakening in himself?Could it be that the soul is Yan Dan?

However, if it is the true memory of Yan Dan's soul, there should really be "Tao Qingfeng" in history, right?Since "Tao Qingfeng" existed in the ancient history, he is exactly the same, even his name has not changed, so why would he appear here?Could it be that Tao Qingfeng's "god-given" soul also belonged to Tao Qingfeng in the era of Da Chu?

To prove this question, under the premise that Tao Qingfeng said that his memory was confused, Yan Dan thought, the first thing that needs to be proved is whether there was a "Tao Qingfeng" who was at the same time as Yan Dan in history?Then we can go further to verify even more incredible things.

It has to be said that Yan Dan has basically touched the edge of the truth.The clarity of the mind and the clarity of logic are not inferior to the thinking of science students.

Yan Tan thought, he had to go back and look for such information.There are too many people in history who were annihilated in the torrent, and their names will not be recorded in any historical materials.According to the memory in the dream, Tao Qingfeng was Tanhua from the same family as Yandan... He was born in the imperial examination, even if he did not have a high official position later, he should be able to leave some clues.Of course, it will not be in the "Great Chu History", but in the corners of various historical important books.This requires the use of his accumulated skills to search carefully.

Right now there are no conditions.Yan Dan decided to let go of this thought that almost made his brain's CPU go down, and think about other things.Anyway, his shocking speculation seems to have been answered.Tao Qingfeng looks like the awakening of a "divine grant" soul.Yan Tan doesn't want to reveal this secret to more people for the time being. There is an institution in Tibet that specializes in the study of legendary singers of King Gesar, and Huada also has an institution for supernatural and supernatural phenomena.But Tao Qingfeng seems to be very busy with his acting work at present, which will cause a lot of trouble for the other party.

What's more, Yan Tan thought, he can observe, inquire and study closely by himself first.It was the first time for him to be so close to this kind of supernatural phenomenon, and of course he needed the so-called proximity to get the moon first.

And the atmosphere is so good tonight... Yan Tan carefully waved that "big pincer" in his heart again.

"In addition to Chinese classics, Guangchuan, do you still have some knowledge of Xizhe awakened in your mind? Do you agree with Sartre's theory of identity cognition that you mentioned in the trial today to defend homosexuals? ?”

During the trial, Tao Qingfeng didn't understand what Lawyer Ju said about Sartre's identity, let alone his defense, so he quickly said, "No, Mr. Yan. What I said during the trial was just a coincidence." Tao Qingfeng was confused , and cautiously: "Gays, what?"

Yan Tan was originally inquiring about Tao Qingfeng's acceptance of this aspect, and realized that this was an opportunity to indoctrinate or enlighten him, and said: "Sartre said that a homosexual would feel very guilty and guilty for wanting to have sex with a man. guilt."

Tao Qingfeng's face turned red, not only because he heard the unabashed word "make love" from Yan Tan's mouth.It even touched his dream of Yan Dansheng's deeds, stammering: "No, isn't it? Of course, I feel very guilty."

Seeing Tao Qingfeng's reaction, Yan Dan almost laughed out loud. He suppressed the idea of ​​the big pliers in his heart flaunting his power and almost pinched towards the other party, saying: "Sartre said, that is actually a kind of cognitive prejudice. Homosexuals are just one aspect of a person's life just like everyone's occupation and hobbies. If it is only because of this aspect, it will deny the whole person's life, be bound by guilt, and dare not accept the true self , you can’t move forward. A person can only go on if he faces himself honestly. Therefore, there is no need to feel guilty about this kind of thing, but to actively face the facts and accept them.”

Tao Qingfeng blurted out: "But the yin and yang relationship should not always be—"

"The sage has a broad heart," Yan Dan looked at Tao Qingfeng with a smile. The other party's thoughts were as clear as a gear, as if he could count out the gears one by one, and then hold the power point to move according to his will. Operation: "If the sky is not clear——"

"If you don't want to understand this truth—" Tao Qingfeng was shocked, as if for the first time he understood the true meaning of those exegesis that had been turned over and over in his heart a thousand times: "It will not make people today have a knower*."

If God thinks this path is wrong, no one will go on it.However, this way has never been interrupted since ancient times.

Therefore, the way of heaven, or the enlightenment of the sage who weighed more than a thousand catties on his head, actually tacitly agreed that these things have meaning.Tao Qingfeng only felt that Yan Tan's reasonable words were like a rope to pull him out of the dark quagmire.

Teacher Yan is his savior.Tao Qingfeng thought with blurry eyes, just like the time he fell into Xie Guomin's hands, he saved him...from the pain again.
