After a colorful entanglement, my thoughts gradually sank into the silent sea of consciousness.
I originally thought I was comprehending the fragments of time in the depths of the sea of consciousness, but later I discovered that this was not so much "time" as it was "the world."
One life... two lives... Since time is just the ruler of things, then oneself can actually be used as the ruler.
For a moment, Shen Hao suddenly felt that this realization became enlightened. He accidentally forgot his original intention and slowly followed his newly opened path.
They say people are different.
Why is it different?
What you think of as upper, middle, and lower levels, put yourself into a circle that you feel comfortable with, and then say, "This is my level."
Actually bullshit. .
Everyone is born the same. People walking in the streets are no shorter than those sitting in temples, and Xuanhai realm monks are no taller than Qi refining realm monks.
In essence, they are all ants in the creation of heaven and earth, crawling faster or slower under the nose of heaven and earth.
In total, Shen Hao could barely call himself "a man of two lifetimes". He had seen more strange and ordinary scenery, had been exposed to a completely different understanding of the world, and had a very clear view of himself.
A great monk in the Xuanhai Realm or a fourth-grade commander is nothing more than the path under his feet. He has to live his life day by day and strive to move forward in this torrent of worldly affairs.
The family's butler, Hu Tian, has suffered severe physical decline in the past two years, especially his legs and feet. He can no longer walk long distances and his energy is not as good as before. However, he is very content and says that it is good to have such a good body when he is almost 70.
Bai Changqing, the Minister of Household Affairs in the temple, is still in his seventies but still very active. It is said that his two lovely wives gave birth to his son and daughter more than two years ago, and the family is happy.
Bai Wu's body collapsed and he wandered the world for thousands of years relying on his soul. Now he is actively preparing for a trip to the underground palace in the near future, saying that it will be the key to whether he can make a comeback.
Then he "remembered" the cockroach that was slapped to death by Xia Nu's shoe sole last night. Perhaps that cockroach would not know why it died or how long it had lived until it died.
Hu Tian, Bai Changqing, Bai Wu, and Cockroach have the same essence, they are all living beings, and the speed of time is the same for them. However, the length of time they can measure is different, and their experiences within the measurable range are also very different.
Since the essence of human beings and all living beings in the world is the same, the scale used by time to measure all living beings is also the same, and time is just a measuring tool. In fact, other tools can replace time to measure all living beings.
Or that the essence of "time" can be anything that can be used to measure things?
This seems to make sense.
For example, there is an old saying: One life is only as short as one day.
When he thought about this, Shen Hao was like a bystander. In the colorful scene, he seemed to see the scene when he was studying when he was young, teachers, classmates, test papers, playground... and he saw the scene of growing up later. , work unit, colleagues, suspects, meeting venues... and the strange things I saw after entering the practice, evil spirits, evil monks, sect disciples, Sword Emperor Tomb, underground palace...
Messages exploded from the bottom up of the memory. Those time fragments at this moment, no matter how fast or slow, or paused and regressed, all converged into one feeling, and pulled Shen Hao into memories. He truly felt the emotion when looking back after time passed, and another realistic ruler that could be used to replace time.
This feeling is very strange, and even if you ask Shen Hao to explain it himself, it would be difficult to describe it. But one thing he can be sure of is that the word "time" has changed in his perception at this moment. Not a change from bitter to more bitter, but a change from bitter to sour.
From night to the afternoon of the next day, Shen Hao woke up from this unexpected sudden enlightenment.
"You are finally free! There are actually people in the world who are as enlightened as you. A second enlightenment! A chance actually made you realize twice! The legendary second enlightenment actually exists!"
After returning to consciousness, Shen Hao received Bai Wu's extremely surprised words. At the same time, I also suddenly understood that I had fallen into an "epiphany" before. No wonder the harvest was so great.
The so-called "secondary epiphany" refers to a progressive epiphany that occurs twice before and after an opportunity. For example, what Shen Hao experienced this time was a second epiphany that progressed to a deeper level after the previous epiphany about time in the backyard of Black Flag Camp. An epiphany.
Shen Hao had only seen this idea of the second epiphany in a few basic ancient books. It was a conjecture and was left as a legend. It is also because the time for enlightenment is often very short, and the things given by chance cannot be fully understood, and there is the possibility of continued enlightenment. But it is only possible. No one has ever experienced a second enlightenment, at least there is no record of this.
Shen Hao didn't say anything, but Bai Wu, who was not at all calm, vented his shock and envy.
"Brother Shen, you are incredible! The two enlightenments must be progressive, and time is one of the extremely powerful fundamental rules of the world. You realized the practical method of "chaotic time" last time, and this time The harvest will definitely be richer! Tell me, do you want me to open my eyes too?"
Although living in Shen Hao's body, he can also synchronize some of Shen Hao's emotional feelings, but Bai Wu is completely unable to understand the things about Shen Hao's consciousness. This is just because of the surging time when Shen Hao fell into enlightenment. It was the fluctuation of the fragment that made him aware of it. Nowadays, all kinds of curiosity are inevitable in my heart.
However, Shen Hao ignored Bai Wu. Instead, he shut down his perception, blocked out Bai Wu's noise, and began to sort out the gains of his epiphany.
This sorting took several days. During this period, I gave Wang Yiming a Qianliyin note and explained a few words. Until he came out of the secret room four days later.
No one could detect any changes in Shen Hao during this retreat. Both his cultivation and his aura were completely the same as before his retreat. Even Bai Wu couldn't find even the slightest change in Shen Hao. This is not normal. It stands to reason that enlightenment will be accompanied by an increase in cultivation, and sometimes it will even increase a monk's potential. But like Shen Hao, he clearly had an epiphany, but he didn't seem to have an epiphany. What's going on?
"What did you gain from your epiphany? Why don't you give it a try and see the effect?" Bai Wu was really curious and kept asking about Shen Hao's gains. He asked him again when Shen Hao was eating sour soup noodles after he came out of isolation.
"I tried it, and the effect is pretty good." Shen Hao slurred the noodles and replied to Bai Wu with a half-smile in his heart.
"Have you tried it?"
"Well, I just tried it." Shen Hao was dealing with Bai Wu in his mind, and his right foot under the table slowly moved away from a small insect that he had trampled to death. Just now, this apparently alive bug did not escape because of the approach of Shen Hao's shoes, and even remained motionless until it died.
