Chapter 73 Remnants of the Shepherdess

The formation of primitive witchcraft is often accompanied by accidental sparks of inspiration and inadvertent attempts that the creator himself may not understand.Or an elf who happened to pass by and gave something completely different to what was otherwise ordinary.

But there are more radical schools of thought that there is nothing new in the world, so all knowledge is memory, and things appear new, perhaps simply because people forget.After all, human beings themselves emerge from the "unspeakable", so there is still more or less divinity in any human body at first.Although this weak divinity has been degraded and lost in the eternal division and descending of the crowd, it is always bound by the outer shell of the material body and the soul.

However, at some transcendent moments, there are still some people who may accidentally recall some strange knowledge, which comes from a past farther than civilization or even life, and is often irrelevant to his real experience in this life, even , there is no counterpart in the entire material world.

For example, in the Otu Desert to the south of the Narrow Sea, there was a herdsman’s wife who had never received any training in mathematics and science, but after sleeping for two weeks, she began to eagerly draw a mysterious figure. At the foot is a Neolithic kingdom that has long been annihilated thousands of years ago. This figure was once called the sacred geometry "Maat". After all, this archaeological result was unearthed 40 years after her death.

But they are unrelated, and their descriptions of "sacred geometry" are bizarrely consistent.The herdsman's wife didn't think about naming the shadow that appeared in her mind, but just said that it could not be drawn on a plane or expressed in clay sculptures. It was a very simple and all-encompassing The symbol of , which can be in "rotation" - what the people of the Old Kingdom call "rhythm" - derives all the patterns that exist and do not exist, He is not the creator, nor does he create any entity, evolved from him, Just the prototype of things.

It was around 529 in the new calendar, and the merchants on the northern shore of the Narrow Sea had begun to export cheap writing paper to Otu.It is on these papers that the herdsman's wife draws the artwork with the mineral pigments she grinds.Before she finally collapsed due to malnutrition, a total of 430 manuscripts were left behind. All the fragments that survive to this day are not annotated with any words, and presumably the same is true for the missing parts.This may be because she was illiterate from the start, or it may be that the vocabulary corresponding to those concepts does not exist in the world.Whatever the reason, she had to use a legend to explain the meaning of another legend, and the result was a serious loop in the content of the manuscript, because all the legends were annotating each other, so she later found out that nothing was actually being conveyed at all.

The first 430 pages of the manuscript appear to have been completed in as little as two months from the start.And the remaining 15 years of her life were all used to solve the puzzles contained in this cycle. It was not until 13 years later that she drew the last two pages... the draft.

By then she was already bedridden with chronic weakness, and she was thinking about the last two pages in such a trance.So she never found out that her husband, in fact, took a page or two of manuscript paper piled up under the bed every day, and used it as a kindling to light the charcoal for her heating.In the eyes of the husband, his wife has been inexplicably crazy for more than ten years, but he has never blamed her too much, and still takes good care of his wife as he did when he first got married.

So after more than seven hundred days, when the last two pages were completed, like her dying life, those manuscripts had been burned down to only 150 disconnected pages.People today have no way of knowing what expression the unknown shepherdess showed when she found out about this matter before she died.But there are large black blood stains left on the last two pages of the manuscript, which already hints at some kind of heartbreaking ending.And no matter why those stains were left, the result was that most of her final results were destroyed. Those age-old blood had already dissolved the fibers, making the contents completely irrecoverable.

However, such an incomplete "Shepherdess Fragment" has become the key to deciphering the text of the Neolithic kingdom of Audan decades later, allowing the world to glimpse the third form of creation: sacred geometry" Matt".It is also since then that the related theory of the mirror law has been thoroughly confirmed.

……

Therefore, although the descriptions of the virtual world are different in different regions-in the concept of some primitive tribes, the virtual world and reality have not even been distinguished, but these countless completely different contents often have subtle connections and similar forms. Even sorcery.

This is also why the Holy King believes that knowledge is not born from meaningless random imaginations, but that they come to this world only through the human mind, but in fact spring from a common source - from the virtual world and all starting point above.

Therefore, people can be sure that an objective world that is independent and stable, at least not affected by the spirit of mortals, is real.

And on this basis, human reason can have meaning.

Therefore, even the sorcery of the far-flung Kayutheran can be sorted into the basic framework that allied scholars have summarized over the years.

There may even have been its predecessor somewhere in the continents - the details may vary slightly, but they may have come from the same inspiration that people captured in transcendence.

In the interpretation of the mirror image theory, this is that the same mirror images continue to emerge in different time and space, similar things are repeated, and all things in the world are actually just the mirror image results of a few limited prototypes intertwined like a kaleidoscope.

But this knowledge will inevitably lose its original meaning with inheritance. After all, they are often counterintuitive and difficult to verify, so most people know it and don’t know why.And those symbols and mirror images that really exist have degenerated into meaningless decoration and rhetoric in the long inheritance.

Time is like a never-ending rain of dust, constantly burying the hard-earned achievements of predecessors, leaving only a blank ruin on the surface.

And rediscovering those meaningful components from this ruin may be as difficult as re-sensing those mirror images.

"How?" Ji Lian was already washing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, ready to go back to the bed to rest.She was still holding a toothbrush in her hand, and recalled it for a while.

"I can't completely figure out which mirror images are mixed in these ceremonies." Before the foam in her mouth was spit out, she continued to speak vaguely to herself.

It also seems that only when talking about these topics, Ji Lian will show real interest, and even be a little shy:
"Most of the time, it just feels like it should be."

Listening to this answer, Colin silently gave up the idea of ​​what to learn from her.

Also deeply understand the gap between people.
