Wandering

Chapter 68 Once a Moon, Suddenly Knowing the Butterfly

After hearing this, I realized that Junzi Feng wants to use the place of Shiji Restaurant to open a teahouse, not he wants to open it, but Liu Yiyi will open it, so that she has a place to hide and a foothold in Wucheng.Sister Ziying turned to look at me: "So it's for Liu Yiyi, of course I have no objection. This shop belongs to Ishino, as long as Ishino nods."

Of course I nodded, admiring Feng Junzi's thoughtfulness in my heart.Junzi Feng saw me nodding, and said to Miss Ziying, "Then I have a request now, and I need you to do it."

Sister Ziying: "If you have any request, please tell me."

Feng Junzi asked a little embarrassedly: "Do you have any money?"

Sister Ziying laughed again: "Although the money is not much, I have saved some over the years. It depends on what you can use it for. If you want to borrow money from me, Ishino must agree."

Feng Junzi: "I don't want to borrow money from you, I just want you to spend it. Can you close this restaurant first? Close it for renovation, renovate it, and turn it into a tea room. There is no need to keep the back kitchen, anyway, Liu Yiyi This shop is neither too big nor too small. I think it is separated from the middle, and the back is Liu Yiyi's living room. Four Eight Immortals tables are enough in the front, which means a tea room. Arranged according to the ancient method, these I don't quite understand, you should understand, can you handle it? You will also spend the money, do you have any comments?"

Sister Ziying: "The boss still writes Shi Ye's name, so I have no objection. But there is no need for Liu Yiyi to live here? You can move in with me and Axiu."

Feng Junzi: "Then also leave a place for rest. This place is close to the school, and Ishino and I may come to drink tea and rest. Also, there is no need to disturb too many strangers. The tea here must be sold It’s the most expensive in the city, and you don’t need a few guests to come to your door.”

Sister Ziying: "Okay, okay, listen to you, what's the name of this teahouse?"

Feng Junzi: "It's called Luxue Tea Room."

Sister Ziying looked Junzi Feng up and down, as if she wanted to find out something, and sighed: "So that's what you have in mind."

……

Feng Junzi always uses his supernatural powers to perform Taoism, and he often borrows the power of others to do things.For example, in this teahouse, he just said something to Ziying and me, and that was it.He has nothing to do with the rest, and Sister Ziying promised to close the business in a few days, and she is also in charge of the decoration and layout of "Lvxue Tea Room".

After discussing the opening of the tea room, Feng Junzi came to Zhaoting Mountain with me that night.The mountains at the turn of autumn and winter are very quiet at night, there is not even a trace of wind, only the moon quietly illuminates the undulating curves between the peaks and mountains.

The noisy tourists during the day had already left, the gate of the mountain temple was closed, and there was no one in the tourist shop.Standing outside the mountain temple, you can only smell the sandalwood smell that lingers in the air during the day.

Instead of entering the mountain temple, we sat cross-legged in the peach tree forest.Gentleman Feng asked me: "Shi Ye, do you know where people go after they enter delusion?"

"After falling into delusion, I actually didn't go anywhere. I was still in the same place, but my mind stayed in the delusion."

Feng Junzi: "That's right, Liu Yiyi is actually still in the statue of the mountain god. You have to go there to pick her up."

"How to pick her up?"

Feng Junzi: "You have broken the delusion, and now you have to re-enter the delusion. You have to remember that the heat of this delusion is the most particular. Later, you will travel with a ghost, go to the statue of the mountain god, and grab her hand You can see her if you hold your hand and enter the illusion. You bring her to me in the illusion, and you will break the illusion together.

After breaking the delusion, you put the spirit-locking ring on her hand, and she can walk out of Zhaoting Mountain.Her yin spirit lives in the statue of the mountain god, and the clay sculpture of the mountain god statue can't stop your yin god, you can grab her hand, you can go now—"

It turned out to be so simple, but Feng Junzi never told me.After listening to these words, I suddenly remembered another question that I have been thinking about for many days - how to enter other people's dreams?It seems that the method of transforming dreams is probably similar to this way!I don't mention how I think, just follow Feng Junzi's guidance, go out with the bardo god of meditation, and walk into the mountain temple.

The painted statue of Luxue still stands on the altar.But what I saw was not the statue, but Liu Yiyi who was merged with the statue.Liu Yiyi's expression was blissful, as if she was intoxicated and frozen in an illusory artistic conception, which should be the reflection of her mood at the moment of delirium.I walked up to the altar and gently took one of her hands.Her hand is delicate and soft, but when I hold it, I feel that my eyes are dark.

After the darkness in front of the eyes, a soft moonlight appeared immediately.The moonlight shines in the emptiness in front of me, and the lights of thousands of families in Wucheng can be seen in the distance.Looking at my feet again, it turned out that I was standing on the famous Wangtian Stone in Zhaoting Mountain.Wangtianshi is not on the top of Zhaoting Mountain, but on a cliff not far from the top of the mountain.

This rock protrudes from the cliff, slanting upwards and piercing the sky, but at the end of it, there is a platform with a radius of one meter.Wangtianshi is like an arm stretched out from a cliff, and the platform is the palm of this hand.

I saw Liu Yiyi because she was snuggling in my arms right now.My right hand is reaching out from behind to embrace it.Her left hand was on the back of my right hand, and her head was resting on my shoulder.Her body can't feel the temperature, everything is pure, even the skin color is pure and fair, without any impurities.Then I heard her talking—

"Brother, you come to watch the moon and Wucheng with me every night. The scenery on Wangtianshi is really good, and the feeling in my brother's arms is even better! If I can do this every day, I really hope that I don't have to think about anything else." .”

It turned out that this was her delusion.This delusion makes me feel ashamed, for her, even the delusion is so simple!Such a delusion, even I can't bear to break it.Thinking of this, I exerted a little force, hugged her even tighter, lowered my head, and whispered in her ear: "Yiyi, you look at Wucheng every day, don't you want to be like those people in the city?"

Yiyi: "Can you? If I can be there with my brother, of course I would."

"Yes, of course. As long as you want, you can walk out of Zhaoting Mountain and go to the world with me."

Yiyi: "Really? It's true, my brother will never lie to me. What should I do?"

I pointed to the peach tree forest in the valley and said, "It's very simple, fly over with me to meet Mr. Feng. See him, and then you will have a way to get out of here."

Yinshen can fly into the sky without the mana of Yujian Xingkong, nor the help of Ziyingyi.My arms were still around her slender waist, and we flew into the peach tree forest together.When he landed, he didn't see Mr. Feng, but someone wrote a line of words on the ground with a branch: "Seeing the words is like a human being, congratulations to Po Wang, please talk slowly, I still have something to do."

At this time, I found that I was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, and I had come out of the illusion. Liu Yiyi's voice came from beside me: "Brother, why did the moon change? From the last quarter moon to the first quarter moon!"

Hearing Yiyi's words, I knew she had also come out of nowhere.I stood up, looked at Yiyi beside me, and said with a smile: "Yiyi, do you know what breaking the illusion is?"

Liu Yiyi looked at the moon in a daze: "I see. Feng Junzi told me to send me to the delusional realm, and brother, you will come to pick me up. It turns out that I have been in my own delusional realm these days. It's the real you. I didn't realize until I saw the moon change suddenly."

I walked over, still gently holding her in front of my chest: "Yiyi, in fact, that's not a delusion, you like me to watch the moon with you, I can always be with you."

Liu Yiyi turned around in my arms, buried her face in my chest, and asked in a low voice: "Brother just said that he can take me back to the world together, is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Wearing this ring, you can walk out of Zhaoting Mountain." I took out the spirit-locking ring and pulled her hand to put it on for her, but there was a little accident.

When Feng Junzi refined the ring with stone marrow, it was finally formed on his left ring finger, so he wore it just right.But Junzi Feng forgot that his fingers were thicker than Liu Yiyi.The ring was too loose on Liu Yiyi's ring finger, so I tried the rings on her fingers one by one.

Yiyi looked at me, her eyes were full of surprises, she didn't speak, she just obediently extended both hands to me.In the end, I put the ring on her right thumb, which was just right.

Liu Yiyi looked at her fingers and said happily: "Brother, thank you for giving me such a good thing. Hey, I can feel my body when I put it on. Brother, do you know that although I used to condense my body , but I always feel that I am always on and off, and now it is different! Brother, you are so kind!"

"Actually, you can't thank me either, this ring was prepared by Feng Junzi for you."

Liu Yiyi: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to bring me to meet Mr. Feng? Where did he go?"

"He's gone, there's writing on the ground, you can read it yourself... Yiyi, do you know what he's doing?"

Seeing the writing on the ground, Liu Yiyi smiled and said, "I know, I know he went to look for Sister Luxue, and he often looks for her."

"Lvxue? Yiyi, have you seen Luxue? Do you know where I can find her?" To be honest, I am also interested in this legendary God of Zhaoting Mountain, and I want to meet this person.Also, even Junzi Feng should let Axiu out.

Yiyi: "Of course I've seen her, but you can't find her. Junzi Feng said that he is the only one who can enter the Godswood Forest. Sister Luxue doesn't like to see other people either."

So it turns out, Junzi Feng and Luxue, one is eccentric and the other is mysterious, they really are a natural couple.Thinking that the Shenswood Forest where Luxue was located might be the same as Zhengyimen's demon-subduing formation, which could trap Axiu, but could not stop Feng Junzi.Since Junzi Feng is gone, I will stay with Yiyi for a while longer, as I haven't been with her for a long time.Yiyi asked me again: "Shall we fly back to the Sky-Watching Stone?"

"Fly? I'm not a Yin god now, I can't fly up! Can you fly up?"

Yiyi: "I almost forgot, my brother is a real person, it's not so easy to fly. Of course I can fly, Feng Junzi taught me to condense my body with the way of ghost cultivation, and later taught me to practice with the Three Dreams D method. The world's three Dream D method is originally the way of Yin God's cultivation, and I am a Yin God. Yin God is like a person in a dream in the world, and I can fly like you in a dream."

After listening to these words, I suddenly realized that it is no wonder that Ziying once lamented that Feng Junzi's Taoism is so weird, it is indeed magical enough.Sister Ziying's wish to fly to the sky that has not been fulfilled for 500 years, Feng Junzi easily let Liu Yiyi do it.I said: "Yiyi, let me see how you fly, I haven't seen a fairy fly yet."

Liu Yiyi is always responsive to my requests.She made a flying posture, but instead of flying out, she lost her center of gravity and fell - even a ghost can wrestle, what's going on?I quickly helped her up: "Yiyi, what's the matter? Are you okay?"

Liu Yiyi: "I'm fine, I understand, this ring."

While talking, she took off the ring, held it in her hand, tiptoed lightly, and flew to the top of the tree.She circled a few times on the treetops, her figure was incomparably graceful, like a fairy flying into the sky.She didn't fly very far, she just circled a few times in the air and flew back to my arms like a baby swallow throwing itself into the forest.I caught her and asked: "Since the Yin God can't move real things, how can you hold it in your hand after you take off the ring?"

Yiyi: "Didn't Feng Junzi teach my brother how to transform dreams? This is the realm of turning yin, and the yin god can control things."

Depend on!I thought Feng Junzi didn't teach Liu Yiyi the second dream of the Three Dreams D method before he broke the illusion. It turns out he taught it a long time ago. No wonder he asked me to ask Liu Yiyi what "Tuoshe" and "Menghua" are.I asked, "Do you know how to entrust and transform dreams?"

Liu Yiyi: "Tuoshe doesn't know, but of course I know about Huameng! I am the God of Zhaoting Mountain, and this is the art of immortality."

"Then tell me how to walk into other people's dreams?"

Liu Yiyi: "That's easy. How did you get into my delusional realm just now?"

"I held your hand and used delusional methods. Do you want me to hold someone else's hand in a dream?"

Liu Yiyi: "That's not true. If someone else is in a dream and you are in the real world next to him, you can enter his dream with delusional methods. There is no need to hold his hand. But in that case, you can only enter his dream. Other people's dreams cannot be transformed into dreams, so they cannot be regarded as true dreams."

"Then how do you turn it into a dream?"

Liu Yiyi: "Use his mind-opening technique, show him the scene in your mind, and he will walk into the dream you want." (Xu Gongzi's note: about "his mind" and "opening the door", please refer to Chapter 025 of this book.)
"His mind-opening technique? I don't know it? Do you know it?"

Liu Yiyi: "I will, but it can only be performed with the body of the Yin God, and you can only perform it in dreams."

"Casting in a dream? How to cast it? Can I do it too?"

Liu Yiyi: "You have learned to break into delusion, and you have the magical power to open your door in dreams. Other people's dreams are your delusion, and you can transform your thoughts in the delusion, and show the scene in your mind Come out, and others will enter the dream you want, this is dream transformation. Brother, you should be able to, that's what Feng Junzi told me."

Feng Junzi did this, Liu Yiyi said that, but he didn't say that to me.He told me to either understand it by myself, or ask Liu Yiyi.According to Liu Yiyi's instructions, it's actually not difficult. I can do it, but I didn't think of it.

"I see, thank you."

Yiyi: "I should thank my brother. Now that I have this ring, I can leave here with my brother. When will I leave?"

"Yiyi, I'm afraid it will take a few days. I have prepared a place for you. By the way, will you open a teahouse?"

Yiyi: "Teahouse? No, but it's okay, I can learn."

……

That day, Yiyi and I chatted for a long time under the moonlight, and I didn't leave Zhaoting Mountain until it was almost dawn.This time, he couldn't fly back like Yinshen travels in the past, so he had to walk back honestly.

I don't need to worry about the affairs of Zhiweilou, nor the affairs of Luxuemingjian. Feng Junzi almost runs three times a day to see how Ziying's affairs are going.Sister Ziying always smiled and advised him not to worry.After I learned the method of transforming dreams, I couldn't help but want to go to Teacher Liu's dream and talk to her.However, on the second day after Liu Yiyi broke out, an unexpected thing happened.

This incident reminded me of the existence of another world in my life. If it didn't happen, I would almost forget it.Before going to bed that night, I habitually glanced at the small electronic device that Chief Gu sent me.

Since leaving training camp, I've had a chance to look at it every day before putting it away, but never heard from it.I just glanced at it and was about to put it away, but I suddenly reacted and brought it to my eyes, only to see a line on the LCD screen: See you in the afternoon of December [-]st.

That mysterious state agency finally found me with something. This information should be from Director Gu.Director Gu once said that he would only contact me when special circumstances like me are needed, and I would rather they never contact me, but they still came.December [-]st is tomorrow, Director Gu asked me to meet in the afternoon, without saying what time or where I was.

However, I don't need to know that during the self-study class this afternoon, the grade director Sima Zhibei called me out, saying that he would select several students to participate in a cultural activity organized by the city, and I was one of them.There will be leaders from the city coming to the school tomorrow, and I will also be in charge of receiving them.Receiving the leaders of the city should be the leadership of the school. What does it matter to me as a student?I had a vague feeling in my heart that Director Gu must be responsible.

Sure enough, I met Director Gu the next afternoon.On the second day, a group of relevant personnel from the Publicity Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, the Cultural Bureau, the Tourism Bureau, and the Science and Technology Commission accompanied several foreign guests to visit the Dragon Head Pagoda.

In fact, there is nothing to visit in the Dragon Head Pagoda. After walking around the pagoda, we visited the Zhuangyuan Bridge outside the south gate of our school. Later, we took a rest in the reception room of the school and had a small discussion.The so-called reception is to receive the director Gu from a certain place of the municipal government to visit the campus and talk about the allusions of various historical sites on the campus.

According to my observation, Director Gu graduated from Wucheng Middle School, and he is more familiar with the history of the campus than I am.In fact, it is to find an opportunity to call me out alone, without attracting anyone's attention.

I thought that the Mayor Gu and I would meet in a heavily guarded hidden place, but I didn't expect that it would be strolling around the campus swaggeringly, talking in a low voice while walking.

Director Gu has given me a task, and my task is related to the group who visited the Dragon Head Pagoda and Zhuangyuan Bridge today.Judging from what the group visited today, they knew that they were here for the Mei family in Wucheng.As for those foreign guests, they came to participate in a seminar held in Wucheng. The name of this seminar was "International Symposium on Mei Wending's Academic Achievements".

Mei Wending is the ancestor of the Mei family, and I have seen his name on the ivory plaque of Jingwudongtian.As for this seminar, it’s a long story—

Mei Wending was an outstanding scholar in the early Qing Dynasty in China. His mathematical works consisted of thirteen volumes and forty volumes.He systematically organized and studied the methods of solving linear equations, Pythagorean solutions (trigonometric functions), and finding positive roots of high powers in traditional mathematics.He firmly believed that the study of mathematics in China "must have essence", and at the same time, he could look at the Western mathematics that had been introduced to China at that time with a peaceful eye.

He was a master of Western mathematics in the eighteenth century. (Xu Gongzi’s note: Mei Wending is of course true and true. It’s just written in the novel. Some plots in the following chapters should be read as novels.)
Having said that, let's talk a few more digressions.Since the "May [-]th Movement", the image of traditional Chinese intellectuals in most people's minds is the caricatured and uglified images of Fan Jin and Kong Yiji, who are useless except memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics by rote.However, this is absolutely not the case. I don't know anything else, but traditional Chinese mathematics knowledge is quite rich.

Modern Engineering University has two courses called Material Mechanics and Engineering Mechanics, which are very difficult and use a lot of complicated mathematical calculations.So in ancient China, there were so many complex and exquisite grand projects, how were they designed and calculated?
The traditional Chinese "algorithm", the common four operations, multiplication, and square extraction, can use abacus, that is, use the abacus.Abacus is just one of many calculation tools (rules, moments, rulers, instruments, plates, etc.).Complicated large-scale calculations in engineering often use counting chips, which look very simple, just like a pair of chopsticks.

Calculation is miraculous and accurate. There is an idiom called "planning and strategizing", but it is a pity that it has been lost among ordinary people in modern times.In recent years, various "quick algorithms" have become popular in society. The most famous person is Shi Fengshou. Techniques like "Shi Fengshou's fast algorithm" are actually a kind of "finger pinching" algorithm in ancient China. There is also an idiom called "Pinch your fingers and count."

But these contents are not tested in the imperial examination, not recorded in history books, and outsiders don't know much about them.

Gossip less, let's get down to business.Mei Wending has long been unknown in today's world, and even the locals in Wucheng don't know much about him.However, in recent years, some foreign scholars have dug up Mei Wending's works for research, and gave him a high evaluation.Scholars in Japan and Korea even published papers claiming that Mei Wending was one of the world's top three mathematicians in the [-]th century! (The other two were, of course, Newton and Leibniz.)
The papers of foreign scholars have attracted the attention of the country, which in turn has attracted the attention of local leaders in Wucheng!The meeting decided to allocate funds to sponsor the construction of the Mei Wending Memorial Hall.When the memorial hall was completed, the government organized such an "international" seminar, and invited several scholars who studied Mei Wending from Japan and South Korea to participate.

Wucheng is just an ordinary city located inland. Although it has been a famous cultural city for more than 2000 years in history, it is not very famous today.

At that time, the reform and opening up had just entered the climax of introducing and learning from abroad. Several foreign experts came to visit unexpectedly from thousands of miles away. With great face, he waited carefully.I am afraid that no one in Wucheng is going to murder these foreign experts, but the security work in the city is still very strict.

However, my task is not to defend. Director Gu entrusted me with a very special task that cannot be made public—surveillance.He asked me to monitor the actions of those few foreign guests during the public event, to see which relics of the Mei family they were particularly interested in, and why they came to Wucheng to participate in this purely symbolic seminar?
Of course, I am not the only one participating in this activity in our school. There are three teachers and three students in total.

Why did teachers from Wucheng Middle School participate in this event?It's funny to say that foreign experts are coming, but among the intellectuals of the 90s in Wucheng, there are not a few who really have research on Mei Wending's academics.Not to mention research, even Mei Wending left behind "Theory of Computing" who can understand it from beginning to end.

It cannot be said that no one in Wucheng understands mathematics, but almost no one understands the traditional Chinese way of expressing mathematics.If there are, there are two people. One is Zhang Rongdao, chairman of Rongdao Group, and he sponsored the construction of the Mei Wending Memorial Hall.But Zhang Rongdao is not in Wucheng, and he will not attend such a seminar.

Another person is Tang Qing, an old-fashioned special teacher in our school who does not take hard things, that is, old man Tang who teaches us politics.Old man Tang didn't teach politics at first, he taught mathematics and history, but that was all in the past.

Later, he himself asked to teach the political class, and I don't know what the old man thought.The old man has a lot of research on Mei Wending, so he also participated in the seminar this time.If he didn't participate, I'm afraid no one in Wucheng would really know what academic achievements Mei Wending has to discuss.

The other two teachers are Fang Zhouzi, the teaching director, and Liu Feier, our class teacher.Fang Zhouzi knew absolutely nothing about ancient Chinese mathematicians' discourses, but he was a member of the Wucheng Science and Technology Association and Writers Association, and he was also a well-known "scholar". Scientific standards comment on our ancestors.

As for Mr. Liu Feier, he is a descendant of another big family in Wucheng, and he is very familiar with the culture and history of Wucheng.This is not something they learned in college, but their Liu family's own family learning.

As for the three students, they cooperated with the teacher to do reception work, that is, serving tea, pouring water, opening doors and closing windows, etc., which are called extracurricular learning activities.As for this kind of activity, it is actually optional, and there is no shortage of waiters to join in the fun. Director Gu deliberately found an excuse to arrange me in.It was too conspicuous for me to be one, and I had to find two more students. Director Gu asked me to give him the names of the two classmates, so he just asked the school to call the important people.

Director Gu asked me to find two classmates to cover my "surveillance" mission.As soon as I turned my head, I remembered the names of two people almost immediately-Feng Junzi and Shang Yunfei.I don't know what's weird about those foreign experts, but since Director Gu found someone like me, I'm afraid the other party is not an ordinary person.

If this is the case, I really have to be careful, and I can rest assured only if I have two masters by my side.Everyone knows that Shang Yunfei is a disciple of the Living Buddha, and they are not afraid of him revealing his identity.As for Mr. Feng, I will tell him to be careful in private, and he may help me secretly without showing any traces.That's how things settled down.

……

Tomorrow, I will go to the opening ceremony of the "Mei Wending Academic Symposium" and the completion ceremony of the "Mei Wending Memorial Hall" with Mr. Liu and the others.This night, I plan to do one thing, which is to use the method of dream transformation to walk into Teacher Liu's dream.One is because of the agreement between me and her that things about Liu Yiyi are only talked about in my dreams; the other is because of this strange task I accepted.

Some foreign scholars have expressed concern about the ancestors of the Mei family, but this concern has aroused the vigilance of relevant government agencies, which is unusual in itself.Teacher Liu, as a descendant of the Liu family, another big family in Wucheng, should be careful when participating in such activities, so as not to cause any trouble because of it, I have the responsibility to remind her.

Of course, doing so may violate discipline, but I have already violated this discipline once. Last time I told Junzi Feng about the situation in the training camp in my dream, not to mention that Teacher Liu already knew my identity.

To enter another person's dream, first wait until she is asleep.I didn't want to spy on Teacher Liu, but this night, my Yinshen still stood quietly by her bed, staring at her for a long time.Her sleeping posture is very beautiful, her slender eyebrows are slightly frowned as if she is acting like a baby to someone, this is a different Liu Fei'er from the day.I have also seen another completely different her, in my delusional world.

Thinking to this point,... the mellow him is like a shy lily.

In her deep sleep, her slender eyelashes suddenly began to tremble slightly, which was a sign of a person entering a dream.I looked at her, used the method of delusion, and walked into her dream——
