Before I could recover from the shock that "Journey to the West" was a classic on craftsmanship, I heard Wu Tinghan make an even more outrageous statement.
I really want to refute her. "Journey to the West" is just a novel. It is the kind of novel that you all told me not to read in the past. It is all fiction and false. How could it be the craftsmanship practice you talk about? A classic?
Also, since it is fictional, everything in it is naturally false. How could it exist in the real world?
I admit that the explanations Wu Tinghan just said about wandering minds do sound impeccable, and they can indeed guide people to practice. But no matter what, it is just an interpretation of yours. A novel is still a novel after all. Everything is fictional.
Otherwise, you can find a Ruyi Golden Cudgel and let me have a look to see if it can be bigger or smaller? Obviously there is no such magical weapon in this world.
I even thought that if Wu Chengen knew that you craftsmen interpreted his novels this way, the coffin boards would probably be unable to hold it down.
Wu Tinghan ignored my complaints and just asked me lightly, before meeting people like us, do you believe that there are evil people in this world?
In one sentence, all my counterarguments were crushed to pieces.
Indeed, before I met them, the education I received told me that Yin people could not exist in this world, and everything was just our own imagination. But from the moment I met Mr. Chen, I learned about craftsmen and that in this world, besides the living and the dead, there is another kind of person.
Therefore, although I still cannot accept Wu Tinghan's statement, this does not mean that Wu Tinghan is wrong. It may be that I do not understand the world well enough. What is the truth of the world what she said?
I calmed down for a while, and then I asked Wu Tinghan, what is that thing you are talking about?
She asked me, have you read the original "Journey to the West"?
I said, of course I have seen it, I have seen it a long time ago.
After saying that, I was stunned. Because I suddenly discovered that my grandfather, who never cared whether I read or not, actively asked me to read this novel!
Just like he never cared about whether I recited the text correctly, he only said that I read it well, but he corrected me at the beginning: "It's snowing, it's snowing, a group of little painters came to the snow, and the puppy painted plum blossoms. A chicken draws a duckling” is exactly the same when it’s not true!
Moreover, I thought about it carefully and found that among the four famous classics, my grandfather only asked me to read "Journey to the West", which is obviously unreasonable. Could it be that, as Wu Tinghan said, "Journey to the West" is really a classic for their craftsmen to practice craftsmanship, but we ordinary people don't know it?
While I was dazed, Wu Tinghan's words fell into my ears. She said, "Do you remember what the 71st chapter is called?"
I was stunned when I heard this, and said that I can't remember some of the titles of novels now, let alone long chapter-like titles like "Journey to the West". I'm afraid I can't even remember...'Xingzhe Kana Subdued the Monster Guanyin phenomenon subdues the demon king'?
Halfway through the words, such words appeared in my mind involuntarily, and before I could figure out what was going on, they had already blurted out. So I looked at Wu Tinghan with a shocked face, and then I found her looking at Zhang Hazi thoughtfully.
Zhang Hazi, on the other hand, looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
Wu Tinghan looked at Zhang Hazi and said, looking at you like this, you must have known about it a long time ago, right?
Zhang Hazi shook his head and asked, "Do you know?"
Wu Tinghan snorted and did not continue to argue with Zhang Hazi. Instead, he turned to look at me and said, since you remember the chapter names so clearly, you should know that a small insect appeared in this episode. Just crawling into a person's nose will make them fall asleep, right?
I knew what she was talking about without even thinking about it, so I just said three words: sleepyhead.
After I finished speaking, I was particularly unhappy to say that it was not just the mention of sleepyheads this time. In fact, the first one to appear was the fifth chapter, followed by the twenty-fifth, seventy-seventh, and eighty-fourth chapters. Chapter 86 and Chapter 86 mention sleepy bugs.
After I finished speaking, I regretted it because I saw Wu Tinghan looking at me with a very strange look. From her eyes, I saw an expression like a freak.
And Wu Tinghan finally couldn't help it anymore and asked me directly, how do you remember it so clearly?
I immediately shook my head and said, I don’t know, it’s like these things are engraved in my mind. I don’t need to think about it, I know how many times this sleepy guy appeared, and the context comes to my mind.
In fact, I am also very puzzled, because I really don’t have the ability to remember photographs. Memorizing texts was also an extremely painful thing for me when I was a child. After middle school, memorizing politics and history became even more dizzy, and it didn’t seem like I had a photographic memory at all.
But why do I still remember the contents of "Journey to the West" so clearly after so many years? Even if I search for Sleepyhead directly on Baidu, it won't necessarily tell me which episodes of "Journey to the West" it appears in, right?
When Wu Tinghan heard this, he gave Zhang Hazi a hard look. The latter couldn't see it, so he naturally turned a blind eye.
Wu Tinghan looked away, and then asked me, you should know what's going on now?
I nodded, then shook my head.
I understand what they were talking about before was sleepyheads. Moreover, Wu Tinghan just gave me a lot of unreasonable explanations, just to make me believe that there really is such a thing as sleepyheads in this world.
Indeed, if there is such a thing as sleepyheads, we will indeed fall asleep without even realizing it. But it is clearly written in the original book that after this thing enters the nostrils or ears of a human body, although the person will become sleepy, there will be a buffer time of a few seconds or even dozens of seconds, and it will not happen immediately. Just sleep.
In other words, if we are really caught by the sleep bug, even if we really can't stand the sleepiness it brings, we should have a few seconds to know that we are falling asleep before falling asleep.
But everything we experienced just now happened too suddenly. There was no drowsiness at all, and there was no sign of waking up from sleep. It was not like being caught by a drowsy person.
Hearing this, Zhang Hazi sneered and said, how can you compare to those monsters and monsters in the original novel? It only takes a few seconds to bring them down, but it only takes a blink of an eye to bring us down?
Well, I ignored the personal physique aspect. Compared with the monsters and monsters in the novel, the three of us ordinary people are really not enough. It is estimated that even if it takes us down, there is no need for sleepy bugs to get into our noses or ears. As long as they are close to us, we will fall asleep.
But what about when you are awake? Can a person wake up immediately from sleep and not remember what happened before?
Zhang Hazi looked at me with disdain and said, when those guys in the original novel woke up, did they realize that they were middle-aged and old sleepyheads? They don't know it, so how can we know it?
In other words, this sleepy bug is an existence that can make people fall asleep when they want to sleep and wake up when they want to wake up. And for us ordinary people, it does not make us realize that we have fallen asleep before.
In this way, between closing and opening our eyes, we may fall asleep for more than ten minutes without even realizing it.
In just a few minutes, the people behind us drove our car to the service area on the opposite side, and then removed the sleepers to wake us up.
When we opened our eyes, it seemed that we had returned to the entrance of the previous service area in an instant, but in fact we were already in the service area on the opposite side.
So here comes the question, since the other party has put us to sleep, and all three of us are asleep, then why don’t those Yin people who want to kill me to take away my luck just attack me directly? But do we have to make such a complicated show?
Giving up the easy for the difficult and the near for the far has never been the style of their craftsmen. Is this enough to overturn Sleepy Man's explanation?
