It is said that it is necessary to study "Twenty-Seven Meanings" and "True Writing Technique", but it is not easy to spare full time.
The first day Ronan returned to the "Changying", to be precise, it was the standard twelve hours in Tianyuan, but he didn't have a full day. Because multiple new research routes were opened at the same time, even if Lieutenant Meng Xin cooperated, even if Yun Bo turned a blind eye, the time consumption was still real.
It was during these twelve hours that in the temporary laboratory "furnace", the "Vulcan-2" successfully completed three complete iterations of the "ant colony" and became the "Vulcan-5"; while it was always The "ant nest" that Yunbo was keeping a close eye on finally completed the self-adjustment and upgrade of the overall architecture in the last iteration.
Perhaps it was an upgrade. In Ronan's view, this was more like an alienation of the structure of the "Blood Soul Temple" in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment.
But in any case, Ronan's theory that "'ant nests' and 'ant colonies' complement each other" that he has always insisted on is barely confirmed. Whether it is an "ant colony" or an "ant nest", the indicators have made great progress compared with the first field survey test. Well, although it cannot be described as a "qualitative improvement" - such as the "ant nest" "Third-level interference node" has never been able to be upgraded to the standard of "secondary interference node".
Regarding Ronan's regret, Yun Bo said, "I miss you so much", and happily ran to the communication center to open a special line to find Gong Shen Mang to report the good news. At the same time, he promised to apply for the "Hell Tyrant Root Essence" from Gong Shen Mang. as materials for the next phase of experiments.
If there is a next stage.
Although it sounds unreliable, it is already a relatively solid promise in military and battlefield environments.
After all, Maharaja Chun said: Plans are never useful.
Who knows when the decisive battle with three monarch-level monsters will begin on the asteroid battlefield?
The long confrontation of nearly two hundred hours ahead has continued to bleed blood for Tianyuan's army. Passivity is definitely passive, but no one knows when it will turn into "weakness" or the "fighting opportunity" recognized by the opponent will be exposed. .
There was no use thinking about this, so Ronan started reading the summary that Aunt Kui had prepared a long time ago for his convenience while several types of "new route experimental objects" were sent into the "furnace" for observation.
In the previous fragmented time, Ronan also took a general look and asked Aunt Kui to sort out some answers to questions and information in a targeted manner.
For example, starting from the first edition of "Twenty-Seven Meanings", and in the hundreds of editions that have been recognized as more authoritative for thousands of years, we can find all the ancient ritual vocabulary that describes the "three categories of twenty-seven items". After excluding the duplicates, there are hundreds of versions of "Twenty-Seven Meanings" and nearly a thousand vocabulary entries using ancient Chinese characters for rituals.
Especially those ruminative and thoughtfully coined words are eye-opening for beginners like Ronan.
Of course, these academic papers that Gong Shenmang can include in the database are all somewhat logical. Even if they are coined words, they will basically conform to the word-making method of ancient Chinese characters for ritual sacrifices. In other words, the meanings of various words are different. The setting is quite well done. Otherwise, in the eyes of experts, it is completely fake and will only make people laugh.
Ronan's mother tongue is also famous for its rich vocabulary and semantics, but faced with hundreds of versions of "Twenty-Seven Meanings" and thousands of similar but different vocabulary entries, I just simply considered the idea of translation. , I feel completely powerless.
He would definitely not translate it, and he also gave up the idea of analyzing it word by word, which meant briefly browsing these versions.
Well, how can I put it, it's okay.
After all, it is an elite version selected from tens of thousands of years of historical changes, and it is almost academically impeccable.
At least judging from Ronan's current level of research on the history of the universe and ancient ritual characters, there is nothing wrong with it.
Some of the ideas are very inspiring and can benefit and correct Ronan's current historical understanding to varying degrees.
But, that's all.
Ronan's reading of these is no different from reading other historical materials... Strictly speaking, there is a difference because it is not pure.
When Ronan first read it, he felt that it was a long river of time that started from the "Birth of the Ancient God" and meandered downwards. The so-called "Twenty-seven Meanings" are actually twenty-seven representative historical events selected in this long river of time.
It's okay, Ronan has done it himself.
His "big space-time model" is a synthesis of the "Hanguang-Earth's Space-Time Events" framework, the "Ritual Ancient Character Model" co-authored by His Majesty Wu Emperor and Ruiwen, and the corresponding historical event context of "The War History of Tianyuan Ten Thousand Kingdoms" , the "Romance Time and Space" that was finally formed was, to a large extent, specialized in doing these things.
Traveling through the long river of time and sifting out the truth and falsehood is one of the ultimate pursuits of any learner of ancient Chinese rituals and researchers of great history.
But later, Ronan discovered that it was not that simple.
Because in the original version of "阘君", it was not limited to historical events. Instead, there were multiple descriptions or expectations of spiritual realms, which seemed to describe ancient gods, new gods, fantasy species, genetic species, and even... The Six Heavenly Gods and their ilk made an evaluation, and tried to summarize it using the most concise vocabulary of ancient ritual rituals.
There is a common wisdom in this field:
If the initial selection criteria for "Yanjun" were more unified, for example, if they were all major historical events, there would be much less controversy surrounding the "Twenty-Seven Meanings". But he chose to be "mixed", and history became not history, practice was not practice, and the standards were not unified enough. In the end, it was ineffective, but it exposed an ambition.
He seemed to want to imitate the "exceeding limits of divine writing" and create a new "divine writing system" that is simpler, deeper and more magical based on the ancient ritual characters.
Or perhaps, it is an attempt to use the "twenty-seven meanings" as a ladder to reach the "exceeding limits of sacred texts".
Yan Jun allowed outsiders to speculate like this and never explained or covered up.
Or can it be considered a default?
Ronan was very strange. It was not because of Yanjun, but because of another thing:
Why did Lord Zhanyou suggest using the "True Writing Technique" as a tool to acquire the "Twenty-Seven Meanings"?
An in-depth comparison will reveal that the concept of "True Writing Technique" is like an infinitely weakened version of Yan Jun's ambition... No, it is the opposite version.
One person is aggressive and ambitious, and wants to use the ancient characters of ritual sacrifices to touch the "exceeding limits of the sacred characters", which is the domain of the ancient gods.
One is superstitious about authority, worships the ancient characters of rituals and sacrifices as the source of magical powers, and is completely lost in the ocean of "practicality".
It seems here... No, there must be a misunderstanding.
After being tempered by complex experiences, Ronan also has an independent mind and will not use his brain or immerse himself in it just because of the advice of Professor Lan or anyone else. He allowed thousands of ancient ritual and ritual words to float in the projection work area, regardless of how Lieutenant Meng Xin and Sergeant Chaku looked at him, and kept his thoughts flowing.
It didn't take long for him to think of a detail:
It seems that Lord Zhanyou did not say that "True Writing Technique" should be used as a tool to explore the "Twenty-Seven Meanings".
However, Professor Lan and other people who observed the behavior of the Great Lord Zhanyou only saw that the Lord Zhanyou used the "True Writing Technique" to express the "Intent to Appreciate" and "The Intent to Decide", so they made similar speculations. come out.
Well, learning tools and application methods are different after all, right?
Let’s look at the three suggestions that Lord Zhanyou made to Professor Lan Dao, none of which involved the “True Writing Technique”.
Then Ronan knew how he should start.
Lord Zhanyou's suggestion, namely the three key words of "history", "man and god" and "for me", seems to Ronan to be not mysterious, and the meaning is simple and straightforward.
Of course, it may also be that Ronan already has the accumulation of understanding, at least a preliminary understanding.
For example, the so-called advancement cannot be separated from "history". Ronan already mentioned it when discussing "Zhenwen Shu" with Professor Lan Yao. It must be based on scholarship, and this "study" is naturally the history of the universe. Although the content of the "Twenty-seven Meanings" is not pure due to the intention of "Yanjun", the main body is still this. We must take practical steps and study hard. Impatience and utilitarianism will never work.
Because the "history" here is not the rough historical context and common sense found in Tianyuan's general history textbooks, but the countless historical texts carried by the ancient characters of "Liji", including but not limited to various historical records, manuscripts, diaries, and scattered experiences. , and even records of witchcraft and talking in sleep when worshiping gods.
Isn’t it easy to distinguish the false from the true from all these textual materials... and possibly audio and video, to understand the essence, and to collect all kinds of details to restore the original appearance?
As for how much he has learned and how to verify it, Ronan thought of the most intuitive standard:
At the very least, we need to form a “contemplation of time and space,” right?
Ronan is very familiar with "contemplating time and space". According to his progress in learning the ancient Chinese characters "Li Ji", he switches between several versions on a daily basis, including rough, refined, illusory, and relatively real ones.
Of course, the most representative one is the "large space-time model", which is the "romantic space-time" that has gradually become standardized.
In the blink of an eye, the meandering time river of "Romance Time and Space" rushed forward in his spiritual level, washing over the lightless river bank where he stood, bringing up "water drops" that seemed real and illusory, and "water drops". The figures and scenes swirling in the glare of "Beads", as well as the events caused by their interaction and collision.
Most of them are like water foam and bubbles, passing away quickly and not worthy of the Tao.
But after all, there are some big events, some "existences" that participated, influenced, and dominated big events, spanning the river, and even the river of time itself. No matter what, it is impossible to ignore their existence.
Ronan raised his head and looked into the distance, trying to see the source of the long river of time.
To be precise, it is the beginning of a life that allows history to be called "history" and has the meaning of pursuit, research, and possibility.
The first category of "Twenty-Seven Meanings" describes exactly such a chaotic, long, clumsy and tragic event:
The Ancient God is born... "Meet Me".
