Chapter 1 The Palace of the Mind
Long live!

This is the perseverance of countless lives, chasing the goal of life.

In ancient times, King You of Zhou traveled thousands of miles and met the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun, hoping to find the way of longevity.

In order to seek longevity, the First Emperor Yingzheng sent alchemist Xu Fu, along with [-] boys and girls, to search for the fairy mountain Penglai in search of the elixir of immortality.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was obsessed with golden elixir, favored alchemists, worshiped the Tao all his life, persevered, pursued the miracles of immortals, and vainly sought to obtain immortality and immortality.

There is also Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was crazy and superstitious in his later years to believe in the way of longevity and the method of golden elixir, and finally swallowed the elixir and died suddenly.

In order to seek longevity, in the long river of history, there are countless crucian carp crossing the river. The outstanding ones are the emperors of a dynasty, and the ordinary ones are like the three religions and nine streams.There are countless legends from ancient to modern times.

"Peng Zu is also a doctor of the Yin Dynasty. His name is Keng, the grandson of Emperor Zhuanxu, and the middle son of Lu Zhong's family. He lived from Xia to the end of Shang Dynasty, and his name is [-] years old."

"Chen Jun, courtesy name Jun, was born in Tangcheng Village, Wutong Township, Yongtai County. He was born in the middle and Xinchou years of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty (881 A.D.), and died in the Jiazi year of Taiding, Yuan Dynasty (1324 A.D.), at the age of 443. He was a long-lived person .”

"Zhang Sanfeng, the Patriarch of Wudang, was born on the ninth day of April 1247 and died in 1464 at the age of 218. Longevity."

"The people of the ancient times were all a hundred years old in the Spring and Autumn, and their movements were not bad."

Zhong Yan slowly closed the "Huangdi Neijing", feeling fascinated by the ancient times recorded in the plain question chapter, and even more curious and longing for the people who have been tirelessly pursuing longevity since ancient times.

He didn't despise the idea of ​​those who pursue longevity, on the contrary, he agrees with it.

Man is a very special kind of intelligent life, influenced by desires.

For example, the poor look forward to getting a lot of money, improving their lives, and living better and more comfortably. The rich look forward to enjoying life and enjoying life that ordinary people can't imagine. What they pursue is spiritual enjoyment.For them, emperors, power and money are already at their fingertips, enjoying the top life in the world. Under such circumstances, what they pursue is no longer money and power, but to control this power for a longer period of time and enjoy This kind of life, even eternal life.

Is it wrong for the emperor to pursue immortality?

From their point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. This is the desire of human beings for the evolution of life.Desire is the driving force behind all of this.

"Maybe there is longevity in the world. The records in ancient times may not be false. The mysteries in the "Shan Hai Jing" may not exist. The legendary overseas fairy mountains and the Kunlun ancestral home may not be the current Kunlun Mountains."

Zhong Yan said thoughtfully.

It is recorded in "Shan Hai Jing": "The void of Kunlun in the sea is in the northwest, the capital under the emperor. The void of Kunlun is [-] miles square and [-] ren high. There are wood grains on it, five fathoms long, and five circumferences. And there are nine wells , with jade as the threshold. There are nine gates on the front, and the gates are guarded by enlightened beasts, where the gods are. In the rock of the eight corners, between the Chishui, no one can go up the rock of the hill without Renyi."

All kinds of myths and legends in Chinese history are the driving force that countless people who pursue immortality believe in.

The wisdom of the ancients is also unpredictable.

He suspects that the current Kunlun Mountain is not the same as the Kunlun Mountain recorded in ancient books, and there are discrepancies.

With a wave of his hand, the "Huangdi's Internal Classic" in his hand naturally flew up into the air, and fell towards a bookshelf, where he put it together with several other volumes of "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic".If you look closely, it turns out to be a palace.

This palace seems to have a very special feeling, with reality in the illusion, and nothingness in the reality.Inside the palace, there are bookshelves. The bookshelves are divided into categories, and there are books and books. These books are shining and the writing is clear.

"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic"

《24史》

The Book of Changes

"Shangshu"

The classics are neatly placed on the bookshelves, and the collections of classics and history, biographies of miscellaneous studies, each have different bookshelves for display.

This is no ordinary palace, this is a memory palace.A memory palace that exists in the mind.

This is the ability acquired by Zhong Yan, which can be called supernatural power, or supernatural power.

The reason why he seeks the secret of longevity is because when he was a child, he was naughty and playful. He played hide-and-seek with his friends in the back mountain in the countryside, and accidentally entered an abandoned cave. A colorful flower, I didn't think much about it at the time, I moved over curiously, wanting to smell it, but unexpectedly, as soon as I inhaled, that strange flower turned into pollen and was sucked into the body.

At that time passed out.

When I woke up, I was still at home. I had a fever for three consecutive days and three nights. I was so scared that the whole family dared not even close their eyes. They stayed by the side during the day and night. Later, the fever subsided and they ate a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots. .

Later, Zhong Yan began to discover that his memory seemed to be getting better and better, and his mind was very bright. In school, his grades continued to rise from the bottom of the crane before, elementary school, middle school, high school, and finally he was admitted to Peking University. What is surprising is that he actually chose the unpopular archeology department.After graduation, I chose to work in a museum.

But after graduation, something very special happened.

He found that a palace had awakened in his mind. This palace sorted out his life experiences and organized them into books by category, and put them on the bookshelf. His memory was stronger than before, and he could never forget it.The books I have read can directly form corresponding books in the palace, and they will be permanently placed in the palace. As long as I want to read them, I can use my consciousness to condense a body in the palace to watch and read freely.

"The memory continues to improve, and a supernatural power has evolved - the memory palace. This is the supernatural power derived after my brain has been developed to a certain extent."

Zhong Yan thought about it.

The potential of the human brain is huge and infinite. Many psychologists believe that the human brain only uses 3%, some people think that it uses 5%, and some people think that it uses 9%. But there is a consensus that the human brain is 90% % above are in a dormant state.

Some people speculate that if people's brain domains can be developed and more unknown brain domains are opened, they will not only become smarter, but also give birth to incredible abilities.This part is the restricted area of ​​life.

And Zhong Yan guessed that the strange flower he absorbed back then was subtly developing his own brain domain and opening up the restricted area of ​​life. However, the development speed of the brain domain was not fast. Ten out of ten, it finally evolved into today's ability - the memory palace, Zhong Yan also called it the soul palace.

This memory palace exists forever.

As long as you are willing, you can perceive that there is a mysterious space in your mind.It was a void space. In the space, a very simple palace suppressed everything, illusory yet real.

"This palace is based on the brain and exists in the mind, but how to cultivate, but I can't find the method, I can't find the way, the power of the mind lies in the heart, but I have tried meditation, I have also tried Taoist visualization, but, These methods of cultivation can be found in the world, but they are taken out of context and fooled by laymen. On the contrary, those seemingly ordinary martial arts can be cultivated to produce strength."

Zhong Yan murmured to himself, after consciously awakening the palace of the mind, his interest in cultivation also increased greatly, and he immediately entered the library, soaked in it for several months, and forced all the books in a large library to After reading, all the books I have read are turned into books and stored on the bookshelves in the palace, and I have tried them myself.Those seemingly ancient classics cannot be cultivated, either incomplete or nonsense.

On the contrary, some classics of martial arts can be practiced.

This is an information age, and all kinds of classics have been printed into the library. Many secret methods of inheritance that were not disclosed to the public can be easily seen on the Internet. Of course, many of the published ones lack some key methods. .But some things are true.

For example, iron cloth shirt, iron sand palm and other rotten high-street exercises are widely spread, but they are true.Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, etc. can be found on the Internet, but it is only the simplest part.There is nothing in the part of exerting force, the internal breathing method, lacking these, what you practice is ostentatious and fake moves.If you can't practice the real thing, you will damage your body instead.

"In the dream, the rain falls and wets the body, and I ask my heart alone"

Just then, the phone rang.

Zhong Yan picked up the phone and glanced at it, but his body couldn't help shaking slightly, and three words were displayed on the screen.

"Qin Xueyun."

These three words seemed to weigh a thousand catties. Looking at this name, his fingers trembled slightly, and a daze appeared in his eyes.

After a long time, when the ringing was about to stop, Zhong Yan still pressed the answer button.

"Hey!!"

Zhong Yan spoke.

"Ah Yan, I'm at Qiyue Tea House, the old place, come here, I want to see you."

A soft voice rang from the phone.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Zhong Yan hung up the phone, got up and picked up the windbreaker beside him, put it on, and walked outside, his steps were still steady, but there seemed to be a hint of eagerness in his calmness.

July Tea House
This teahouse is located in the downtown area of ​​XA. It is said that it has a history of hundreds of years. It is a time-honored teahouse. It is not arrogant because of its seniority.

Near Xi'an, this teahouse is quite famous, and most people may not even be able to reserve a seat when they come.

The place is a good place.

Tea is also the best tea.

Of all kinds of tea in the country, only the top ones are collected, and those with lower quality are not even able to pass the threshold of entering a teahouse.Therefore, generally speaking, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter. It is not that there is a threshold, but that it is too difficult to make an appointment. Those who enter and exit are either rich or expensive.

"Mr. Zhong, you are here."

Zhong Yan came to the teahouse, and when he walked in, a girl in a cheongsam came over, with a bright smile and amiable, giving people a warm feeling, very comfortable.Her name is Liu Qian, and she is a waiter at the July Tea House and a tea artist.

Zhong Yan is a frequent visitor here, and the two have known each other for a long time.

He studied archaeology, and some antique appraisals are also specialized.
