There are only five official members of the Daystar, so there is no special position responsible for food. Everyone agreed that everyone would take turns cooking during the trip to show fairness.
The task of cooking today fell on the shoulders of the Dawn Knights. Their breakfast was two slices of toast, a sausage, a butter scrambled egg, vegetable salad and hot coffee.
"Alandia, your cooking skills are pretty good." Gongsun Ce said,
"It's pretty much the same as what I usually do." He had just gone to take a shower, and now he had put on a set of loose sportswear. He was dining around a square table with everyone, while Wawu was eating his special food on the floor. rations.
Kirara, who was munching on bread, was very glad that Rei Shigure was not cooking today, otherwise Wah Woo would have had the best meal on the ship.
Arlandia spread butter on the bread: "It's hard to make a simple kingdom-style breakfast. I think my cooking skills are still far from those of Knight Orianna."
"Her cooking skills are great." Gongsun Ce put down the plate, leaned on the table, and said nostalgically: "I really miss the rice pudding and soufflé she made... She also made lightning pudding for us, back then. The eldest brother ate the whole plate."
"I'm afraid now Mo Yuankai can only eat the vegetable salad and multi-grain rice she made by herself." Alandia commented.
Gongsun Ce laughed quite unscrupulously. He took a picture of his breakfast and sent it to his elder brother far away, and got two middle finger symbols in reply.
The breakfast was quickly cleared by everyone, and they quickly got into the serious work of the day. Alandia pushed over a whiteboard and began to write and draw on it.
"To summarize the current situation. In the incident in Xuanci State, we found that people's opinions will affect the status of local totems. We don't know yet whether this is an isolated case or a common situation. This requires subsequent investigation. It will be revealed gradually. Please be careful not to hold preconceived notions based on a single case..."
"It is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of thinking and interfere with the objectivity of judgment." Gongsun Ce answered,
"Everyone knows the truth. What I'm mainly curious about right now is, how did the saint do such... bizarre things?" Alandia wrote the word: heart at the top of the whiteboard.
"I think he took advantage of the people's thoughts and spiritually connected the people with the totem." Qin Qianbai raised his hand: "Teacher Alandia, what are your thoughts?"
"To facilitate the description of this concept, we need to start with an example. Do you still remember Ce's experience at the Wish Collection Festival?" The Wish Collection Festival is a festival where the hidden gods of Zero Island fulfill their wishes.
Gongsun Ce met an experienced blacksmith there who later went to the Sky City.
"I remember that I wanted to build a piece of equipment that would give me peace of mind." Gongsun Ce stroked the frame of his glasses.
"Then the old blacksmith gave me some popular science and said that materials containing specific thoughts are needed to make corresponding mind weapons. Some creatures are born with specific thoughts, and some thoughts are endowed with people because they 'believe' In material terms. The peace of mind on my spectacle frame comes from the gratitude and thanksgiving of the gods." Alandia said in
Write "心心" in the lower left corner
"Substances", link them with arrows.
"From this incident, you learn that the heart and mind have power, which is what we generally call the 'mind'. The impermanent method of lighting up the aura allows one to gradually master and use it in practice, and for ordinary people without aura People, how will that power be displayed?" Gongsun Ce pondered: "Without aura, you cannot control your own mind, which is equivalent to the power being 'locked' in your heart... But the existence of special materials has proven that People's thoughts have an impact on the objective world. In other words, this power...the so-called 'mind'...will 'escape' as they think and act...attached to other things?" Islandia is
Under "Mind Matter" write the name: Material.
"That's right, Ce. This is the source of most special materials. Creatures born with minds are basically derived from the influence of the dragon phenomenon. They are derivatives brought by the monarch dragon; materials with acquired minds are derived from People have 'believed' for hundreds of thousands of years, for example, that mithril can break demons, that ice crystals represent purity, and that the core of an old tree represents holiness. These thoughts have an irreversible impact on matter, giving them corresponding powers."
"Being born with thoughts is the influence of the dragon phenomenon, and these wonderful materials come from..." Gongsun Ce looked for a suitable word,
"Paranormal phenomena caused by humans. Human phenomena?"
"An apt description." Dawn Knight praised,
"Both the Impermanent Magician and the Kaitian Warlock have the ability to actively use their own minds. They are equivalent to powerful existences in human phenomena. The secret story of Qin that you previously reproduced with superpowers is a good example. In fact, You do not understand the true meaning of these martial arts. You only use your own mind and technical prototypes to achieve similar effects. This is because you now have extremely powerful aura, and your spiritual strength and keen perception are enough to support you. The ethereal thoughts are solidified in the moves." Alandia wrote in
Write on the lower right side of "心心"
"Strength", connecting the two is marked as
"Move".
"But most of the time, people's minds are not strong enough or focused enough. The minds generated by human beings will be more, broader and more complex. Just as you are listening to my words now, numbers are running in your mind at the same time. Ten or even hundreds of messy 'thoughts', you will be thinking about the arrangements for the night, thinking about tomorrow's breakfast, thinking about relatives and friends far away in the sky... Please note that the total amount of these distracting thoughts far exceeds the focus and concentration. Thoughts. So, what kind of impact will these thoughts have?" Alandia said from
A third arrow extends from "Heart", pointing to the question mark directly below. Shigure Rei answered: "These scattered thoughts are large in number but low in quality, so they cannot directly affect matter. They cannot have power outside the spirit prison world, so they cannot become a collective subconscious that can interfere with the world. But They still have something in common, and some cultural symbols born from thinking and creation will become their destination. They are gods in fantasy, some traditions that have become common by default, and stories passed down by people orally. These symbols cannot Really interfering with reality, they are like countless ghosts without mass or thought, just... existing, like ancient cultural symbols, like memes on the Internet.”
"I'm sorry I was wrong." Gongsun Ce said,
"You understand. I thought you really didn't know how to pretend to understand before." Rei Shigure bared his teeth and said: "Speak! Who is ignorant now!"
"I'm just a psychic. What's wrong with me being ignorant?" Gongsun Ce said confidently. Alandia ignored the quarrel between the two, erased the question mark, and wrote
"Meme": "Miss Shigure's explanation is spot on. More thoughts are integrated into the memes that only exist but have no impact, and the Creation Master can actively use the power of memes to weave."
"ah?"
"Huh?" The two people who were bickering turned their heads together and made dumb noises, like two stupid birds who learned that they could flap their wings for the first time.
The eldest lady couldn't bear to look at it: "You should withdraw from the ranks of the world-creating magicians..." Alandia smiled: "You are confused now because you don't understand. In fact, you have already used memes in your own impermanent magic. .Think about the ignorance of Nirvana and the fairy tales of Dreamland. Their foundations are all cultural symbols, that is, information without power." Gongsun Ce and Shigurei were both deep in thought, thinking about the scriptures they had learned. Texts, seals, and the myths and legends I have read.
The eldest lady raised her hand and asked: "Teacher Alandia, I still don't understand the difference between memetic mind and collective unconsciousness." Alandia drew an ocean in the blank space of the whiteboard.
"I guess the collective unconscious you imagine is a vast 'ocean' full of power, which contains endless power. The creation magicians draw the water from this ocean to obtain power like magicians, and also You can control everyone's thoughts by affecting the ocean itself." The eldest lady nodded repeatedly.
"The meme mind has no power and cannot interfere with reality and living things. People's minds create it, but it cannot have a direct impact on humans themselves. It is more like an invisible 'library', which stores countless abstract symbols. This library continues to expand with the development of human society, some books are destroyed during the development, and more books are filled into the library as concepts are created."
"And if I used the book inside..."
"The book itself does not disappear. Because it is not energy, it is never consumed."
"Um……"
"Well……"
"Tsk..." Now one more dizzy member was added. They were quietly meditating on this complicated concept. They felt as if they had touched something, but they couldn't tell the key.
Qiluo looked at them in confusion and said, "So, Meme Mind is an emoticon database built on the root server of the Spiritual Internet that only high-privileged users can access?" Everyone looked at her with strange eyes. The information lifeform whispered: "Meme thoughts can be used to build spells, so it is an emoticon package. Emoticon packages can enhance the expression of information! It's like putting a picture in the dialog box when you are chatting. With the Crying Cat Head, everyone can feel your sadness more intuitively. But the Crying Cat Head has not disappeared, and there is no real cat crying. It has only been 'used' once, and it can still be 'used' Countless times. The high authority of the Chuangjie Envoy allows them to have more intuitive access to this hidden emoticon package library, so they can use it however they want... This is how I understand..." Gongsun Ce's eyes narrowed a little His eyes widened, his mouth wide open and his hands dangling in the air.
He walked up to the girl, pressed her shoulders, and said in an unexpectedly surprised tone: "You are simply a genius, Qiluo!"
"Hey?" Qiluo giggled. Gongsun Ce thought of the high-level battles he had witnessed, the old captain's countdown and the devil boy, Airlandia's chariot, the sun and the galaxy, and the gods that Situ Yi had created.
He then thought about the concepts and techniques that the eldest lady and Will had taught him in the past two months, which were so abstract that he could hardly imagine them.
"Flow of force". Looking at the world from a different angle, I suddenly became enlightened.
"I understand! That's not boxing or practicing martial arts!" he said excitedly,
"That's writing an article, it's painting! It's an expression of information completed with aura! The addition of memes is to make the expression more powerful and straightforward, such as allusions in ancient Chinese or hidden metaphors in the pictures..."
"So both the Kaiten Technique and the Impermanence Technique require cultural background." Shigure Rei muttered,
"Of course, how can someone who doesn't even know a word write a story... You can't maintain the world forever with just a flash of inspiration..." The two strongest players in the team fell into an almost demonic state at the same time, Qiluo With his mouth half open, he pointed at himself: "Did I say something?"
"You said a direct, concise and pointed expression. Nothing is more important than this." Alandia gestured for the other two people to walk out of the room with her.
They left the bridge to the two impermanent mages who were in strange condition, and discussed quietly outside.
"Is my family's martial arts also a kind of use of my heart?" Qin Qianbai asked.
"In my opinion, yes," Airandia said,
"We program our power into the constant principles that maintain the world, and warriors like Qin Ming will integrate the constant principles into their bodies."
"My will is the heart of heaven, and the martial arts become the truth... That is the symbol of the final state..." Qin Qianbai pondered,
"It's also a kind of heart... that requires understanding and extreme emotions, well..." She muttered like the two people in the room and left.
Qiluo looked at their performance and lowered her voice extremely softly.
"So, Alandia. The Impermanence Technique and the Heaven-Restoring Technique are actually...a way of using subjective idealism to influence the objective real world? A special expression technology of information supported by individual energy sources?" Dawn Knight He looked deeply at the girl and said, "Miss Qiluo, if you practice the Impermanence Dharma, you may become the fastest-growing Impermanence Dharma user in history."
"...Is it the impermanent magician who is most likely to become malignant?" Qiluo guessed,
"I am an information life form. My information expression efficiency is so high that my existence itself will be distorted by memetic thoughts?"
"It's very possible." Qiluo shuddered: "It's too scary, I won't practice!" Most of the day passed in silence, and the members who could make the most noise fell into a state of confusion. , making the Daystar particularly quiet today.
Qin Qianbai meditated on the deck, getting up from time to time to try a move or two, and then fell silent again. Rei Shigure was flipping through books in the library. She occasionally grabbed a book and only recited one or two lines of text, then discarded it and meditated.
Gongsun Ce is sleeping. With the help of dreams, he returned to the small house he entered after first becoming a god. The rough house contained a white fireplace and nirvana, as well as the Nether Child and the Last Sword.
Nowadays, there is a pair of glasses and a gold cup in this room. They are the telepathic weapons owned by Gongsun Ce, and they are reflected in the interior of his telepathic space in the form of decorations.
He sat cross-legged in front of Nirvana and put his hand into the firelight. The core is the same, Gongsun Ce thought.
The Art of Kaiten is music or dance, and the Law of Impermanence is poetry or articles. The root of those techniques is to use the mind... to express information to affect reality.
So he doesn't understand
"Power" is like a writer who has difficulty understanding the music, but he can understand the emotions in the music, and he can write music reviews, so he can reproduce those moves.
Now Gongsun Ce only has
He needs to complete the work "Nirvana Reincarnation" before he can consider the next realm.
And how should he improve? Both Airandia and Will suggested that he develop his own combat moves... to develop and create... Can he make something different?
Once this idea appeared, it lingered in Gongsun Ce's mind. He felt that his emotions were gradually dominated by a high desire to create, as if the thoughts that had been suppressed in the body for a long time were released, making people almost have the urge to dance.
Gongsun Ce stood up in the hut and walked anxiously. Now he had an idea, but he didn't know how to start... how to start...
"Keep calm, Ce." Alandia's voice sounded beside him. She appeared in the house at some point, sitting by the white fireplace.
She was dressed the same as on the ship, wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and trousers. Gongsun Ce waved his hand impatiently: "I know! I won't be quick, I will start with the simplest... a short story, a small move... But I don't know how to do it! I can't write it, I……"
"Thinking," Airandia said,
"What is your favorite subject?" The answer to this question comes without thinking. Gongsun Ce has always been a negative person, and the type of information he is best at expressing is undoubtedly those negative emotions and self-destructive impulses.
Loneliness, sadness, pain, and anger, it was precisely because he was such a bad person that he was able to practice the method of reincarnation through nirvana.
Those negative qualities are the source of his strength.
"I want to express it..." Gongsun Ce murmured to himself,
"The form is... no moves. I'm not good at punch-to-flesh moves. I like weapons and props that are as convenient as telekinesis and white matter."
"User"...meme, the element that makes it come alive...ah! The ancient texts and seals of Yan Qi Sect! "At this moment Gongsun Ce truly understood what Tianji used to say
What does "laying the foundation" mean? He has no shortage of creative materials. Yan Qi has already taught him those.
He sat down by the fireplace, put his hand into the Nirvana, and began to create his own 'vessel'. He needs just the right one
The "beginning" can inspire subsequent creations and can be integrated into the current system... Still lacking a little inspiration, he wants to immerse himself in the negative end... Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand to the side, and Alandia picked up the filthy golden cup and handed it over In his hands.
The Holy Grail was filled with dirty blood that was as fragrant as wine. He raised the cup and drank the blood wine in one gulp. Extreme filth and evil thoughts surged in his heart, and in the next moment, Gongsun Ce fell into the boundless dark red with satisfaction.
