Chapter 346 Revealing Laojun's Identity and the Truth About the Palace of Reincarnation
The night is getting darker.

In the Hundred Birds Forest, Wang Lanlan sat under the bare Bodhi tree, listening carefully to Laojun's introduction of the secrets of the Hall of Reincarnation.

"Lan Lan, have you ever played the game 'Story Solitaire'?"

"Story Solitaire?" Wang Lanlan nodded.

The so-called story solitaire refers to connecting the original irrelevant stories into a story that can be justified.

In the game of story solitaire, various story elements such as science fiction, history, urban, suspense, romance, and mythology may be connected together, which can cultivate people's imagination and thinking ability.Among plot genres, Story Solitaire is a game that many scholars often play in their lives, and Huaxia also has many related game software.

"The essence of Story Solitaire is to connect different stories together, and the principle of reincarnation hall is very similar to Story Solitaire."

Laojun slowly introduced, "Everyone's life is a reincarnation. When a person dies, this reincarnation ends, just like the end of a storyline. If you want to bring the dead back to life, you have to let this person enter the next cycle. Reincarnation, that is, entering the next storyline, is equivalent to playing a game of story solitaire for people.”

"For example. For example, there is a college student named Zheng Tan. One day Zheng Tan died, and his reincarnation ended. If you want to bring Zheng Tan back to life, you can connect Zheng Tan's reincarnation with the reincarnation of a cat. At that time, after Zheng Tan's reincarnation ends, he will enter the cat's reincarnation, and Zheng Tan will turn into a cat and continue to live in the cat's way."

"From this perspective, Zheng Tan is equivalent to being resurrected on the cat. Its principle is actually to carry out a 'story solitaire' for Zheng Tan's life, connecting Zheng Tan's life story to the cat's life story."

Wang Lanlan's eyes lit up slightly, she thought for a while, and asked, "Grandpa Laojun, but people are people, cats are hunters, how can the experiences of people and cats be 'connected'?"

The old gentleman said: "You are right. Humans and cats are originally in two different reincarnations, and there is no connection. Everything in the world has its own reincarnation, which are not related to each other. However, there is a way to combine these Reincarnation is connected, and this method is the 24-position "Episode Wave", which is the "General Outline of Emotional Rhythm."

"This set of "Plot Wave" contains the evolution rules of all plots in the world, and even bizarre plots can be evolved through it. Even many seemingly unreasonable and absurd situations can become reasonable existences."

"For example, in the example just mentioned, after the death of college student Zheng Tan, he turned into a cat. From the perspective of ordinary people, this matter is unscientific and unreasonable. However, this is only because of the limited knowledge and imagination of ordinary people. I'm so weak that I can't give a reasonable explanation."

"In this world, any phenomenon can exist and a reasonable explanation can be found, as long as you have enough knowledge and imagination."

"After death, people turn into cats. Although this phenomenon is bizarre, a complete reasoning process can be found. It is actually a plot analysis problem, which can be deduced using "Plot Logic", just like your deduction last month. It's the same as the news about the Divine Condor."

""Plot Logic" is only an elementary course in plot analysis. When you study for a doctorate in plot genre writing in the future, you will learn a more advanced plot analysis course-"Plot Equation."

"In the theory of "Plot Equation", every bizarre plot in the novel can be written as an equation or a set of equations, and the solution of the equation is the truth of the plot mystery."

"For example, the plot of 'College student Zheng Tan turns into a cat', it can write a simple plot equation."

Speaking of this, the dry linden tree shot out a purple light, and the purple light wrote a line of characters in the fallen leaves on the ground. Wang Lanlan took a closer look and found that the line of characters was a weird equation, the content is as follows:
F(Zheng Tan, person)×R○S(rebirth, T19)×L⊙EG(life, P, 18Y)/MES(college student√￣Set(person→♂)+Σσ(university, e)|x| @陈基晚调→№(novel, ΔδVIP...) ∑÷⊙(♀, Λ3650)[email protected](Cat)

After reading this line of equations, Wang Lanlan's big eyes couldn't help but froze for a while, and then asked, "Grandpa, is this long string of characters the plot equation?"

Laojun affirmed: "That's right, this is the simple equation for the plot of 'College student Zheng Tan turns into a cat'. Of course, this is just an equation in the outline of the plot. To describe the whole plot with an equation, a more detailed formula is needed. complex set of plot equations."

Wang Lanlan seemed to understand, but looked at the equation on the ground, and found that there were many symbols in the equation that she could not understand, and asked: "Grandpa, what does the symbol 'adding a point to the circle' in the equation mean?" ?”

"Add a point to the circle? You mean '⊙'?" Lao Jun said, "This is the 'reincarnation potential' function in the plot wave."

"Reincarnation potential function?" Wang Lanlan didn't study it carefully, afraid of dizziness, and asked again, "What is the 'EG' behind the reincarnation potential function?"

"EG is a function of generalization rules, similar to ES, which is a function of existing rules, and UK, which is a function of virtual rules. In this equation, many functions commonly used in plot equations are also used, such as Set, which is the set function, Top is the topological space function, and Ab is the commutative set function."

"..." Wang Lanlan frowned, didn't understand any of them, thought for a while, and then asked, "What is that triangle symbol?"

"Did you mean 'Δ'? It's pronounced 'delta', and it's the amount of change in a rule function, often used in root-finding formulas for plots."

"Oh. What does that 'pointy cone-like symbol' mean?"

"Sharp cone? Are you asking about 'Λ'? 'Λ' is pronounced as 'Lambda', which is a function of the wavelength of the plot wave. Each reincarnation is a section of plot wave, and the length of the cycle is the wavelength of the plot wave. In the plot connection, it is the connection between the plot peak and the plot trough, and the 'lambda' function needs to be used at this time."

"Oh." Wang Lanlan looked at the equation carefully for a while. At this moment, her eyes lit up slightly, and she asked again, "Grandpa, is the 'T' in the equation a function of time?"

"Yes. Time, environment, and characters, these are the three elements of the plot of a novel. The time function is indispensable in the plot equation. It can be divided into positive time function, inverse time function and imaginary time function. This knowledge is waiting for you to enter writing When I was studying for a doctoral degree, I would naturally come into contact with it."

"Hmm." Although Wang Lanlan couldn't understand the series of functional formulas on the ground at all, she still thought it seemed fun, and asked curiously, "How do you solve this plot equation?"

"This equation on the ground cannot be solved because it contains too little information. More information needs to be collected and more plot equations added to form a plot equation set." Laojun introduced, "When the amount of information After reaching a certain level, you can use the equations to find the solution of X. This solution is the truth of "College student Zheng Tan turns into a cat". In the process of solving the equation, you need to use the 24 potential "plot wave" rule calculus."

Hearing this, Wang Lanlan roughly understood that "Plot Wave" can be understood as a problem-solving tool for plot equations.Just solving the equation is solving the mystery of the bizarre plot.

Wang Lanlan thought of something, and asked: "Grandpa Laojun, last time a divine sculpture appeared in the Bird Forest, can this plot also be written as a plot equation?"

"Of course. You can set the divine sculpture as the unknown variable X, and then list a plot equation related to the divine sculpture. The solution of the equation is the truth about the divine sculpture."

After a pause, Laojun introduced, "If the solution of the unknown variable X is a person, then the sculpture is a person; if the solution of X is an object, then the sculpture is an object. Of course, the solution of some plot equations There may be more than one, but many, which requires the use of "plot waves" to design new equations for quadratic reasoning until a unique solution is obtained."

Wang Lanlan nodded and analyzed: "After finding the solution of the plot equation, we can know the reasons for the formation of many bizarre phenomena, such as why people can turn into cats. Once you understand the reason why people turn into cats, you can revive people." Become a cat, this is the principle of the Reincarnation Hall to bring people back from the dead."

"Lanlan, your thinking is getting clearer." The old man praised, "You just said it well, this is the principle of the reincarnation hall. The reincarnation hall is a huge plot equation library. With the help of this plot equation Ku, can let the dead into other reincarnation, so as to have a new life."

Wang Lanlan couldn't help asking: "Why is there a hall of reincarnation? Where did it come from?"

Laojun said: "Speaking of the Temple of Reincarnation, I have to mention the old guy [Dream into Shenyu]. Although Lao Meng has a bit of a temper, I have to admit that this old guy still has a few tricks."

Wang Lanlan blinked her big eyes, and asked again: "Grandpa Laojun, do you know Liushu King [Dream into Shenyu] set in the north?"

Laojun smiled and said, "Of course we know each other. Lao Meng and I grew up together, and he designed the underwear I wore when I was young."

"..." Wang Lanlan.

Laojun continued: "Old Meng always likes to design some strange things. He believes that all the problems in the world can be solved through design. To open a lock, you only need to design a key; to make things move, you only need to design a power system ;To make things think, you only need to design an intelligent system. Lao Meng has been obsessed with design since he was a child. At the beginning, he only thought it was fun. I thought, after decades of playing, this kid who likes to play with mud actually created a set genre and became the king of books, as famous as me."

"..." Wang Lanlan has been secretly investigating Laojun's identity, and when she heard this, she almost had the answer.

Laojun created the 24-style "Plot Wave" by himself. He is not only familiar with the theory of Zhijie school, but also has a deep friendship with Mengru Shenyu...

A series of information is clearly pointing to the same person - King of Books in Western China, founder of plot genre, founder of the four major novel schools of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter - Mr. Samsara!

Laojun continued to recall: "When I summed up the "Plot Wave" theory, I realized that through the calculation of the plot equation, it is possible to connect different reincarnations. With the "Plot Wave" theory, people can enter the world of animals. The reincarnation of animals can also allow animals to enter the reincarnation of humans. In theory, the reincarnation of all things in the world can be transformed into each other."

"I was thrilled to come to this conclusion, which is obviously a very interesting idea. However, in my own ability, it is impossible to put the theory of "plotwave" into practice. The amount of information involved in the plot equation, The amount of calculation is not something I can do alone, I need to use powerful tools.”

"At that time, I immediately thought of Laomeng. This old guy likes designing tools for difficult problems the most, so I told him the idea of ​​"Plot Wave" and asked him to try to design a building that can connect the cycle of all things."

"After listening to the theory of "Plot Wave", Lao Meng was also very excited. I discussed with him at the top of Shushan for three months, and we studied the design of the reincarnation building together. After three months, we conquered most of the buildings. However, there is a problem in the way of reincarnation, but we still can't find a solution. Lao Meng and I have listed tens of thousands of equations, but we still can't solve it."

"Later, when Lao Meng and I went to the Palace of Burying Souls to drink tea, we overheard the "Song of Burying Souls" played by the sister of Burying Souls. The seven chapters are connected in an illogical relationship, repeated and endlessly changing, it is a piece of music that can never be listened to."

"After being inspired by "The Song of the Burial Soul", Lao Meng later adopted a similar structure and designed seven reincarnation paths. They are relatively independent but interdependent, and the cycle is endless. For the 'seven rounds of reincarnation'."

"After the design of the Reincarnation Road was completed, the building of the Reincarnation was completed. Later, at the suggestion of the Qashqai, the building was named 'Reincarnation Palace'."

Wang Lanlan listened carefully, these secrets were really unheard of, she never imagined that there are so many unknown wonders hidden in the world she lives in: "Grandfather Lao Jun, you are so amazing that you can actually design the Temple of Reincarnation, which should be the greatest human being. building?"

Laojun smiled lightly and said: "The Hall of Reincarnation is indeed a great building, but if you want to say that the greatest building on this planet is not the Hall of Reincarnation, but the Sixteen Story City of Huaxia Kingdom."

"Story City?" Wang Lanlan has always felt that Story City is very mysterious. Although she has been there once, she still has many questions.

"The story city is the most proud design of this old guy who dreamed of Shenyu in his life." The old gentleman said, "The story city looks ordinary, but in fact it hides countless mysteries. Take the trains in the story city as an example. The forces have tried to control these trains and thus control the story city. Unfortunately, no one has ever succeeded, and they can't even make a slight change to the trains. These trains and the routes of the trains, including the entire operation system of the story city, are dreamlike It was carefully designed by Yu Yu. Even the masters who set the genre cannot penetrate the mystery."

"For so many years, the reason why Huaxia Kingdom has been able to be so stable and harmonious is because of these sixteen story cities. They are the strongest guardians of Huaxia Kingdom. Without the guards of these sixteen story cities, Huaxia Kingdom may already be in chaos. .”

"The Hall of Reincarnation is only a small part of the story city. It is located in the forbidden-book area of ​​the Spring Bird Story City."

"The restricted book area is only opened once every two years. This is the rule designed by Mengrui Shenyu back then, and no one else can change it. Therefore, only when the novel competition is held, can there be a chance to enter the restricted book area."

Wang Lanlan asked with concern: "Is it possible to find the Hall of Reincarnation if you enter the forbidden book area?"

Laojun said: "Of course not. In order to prevent others from entering the Hall of Reincarnation, Lao Meng carefully designed the Hall of Reincarnation. If you want to break in, even if you have the power to move mountains and fill seas, you will not be able to succeed."

Wang Lanlan frowned: "Then how can I enter the Hall of Reincarnation? Can invisibility work?"

Laojun smiled and said: "It's useless, no spells will work, there is only one way to enter the Hall of Reincarnation. Lan Lan, I will tell you this way, but you must not tell others."

"En." Wang Lanlan nodded desperately.
