   Chapter 217 My life has a career

   Flowers are not flowers, and fog is not fog. Come at midnight, leave at dawn. How long has it come like a spring dream, and gone like a cloud of nowhere to be found.

   At the meeting place, Xu Guangling remembered this poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty, which was one of the 1,432 poems stored in his mind so far.

It's not that Xu Guangling's memory is really unclear or confused, so that he really can't remember what happened last night, but, um, the main reason is that he doesn't seem to have any problems in both body and mind now. Change.

   Especially in terms of body, there is no difference in feeling and before.

   The facial features are not more sensitive, as for the ease of the body...it was easy before.

   Also, the whole park turned into a sea of ​​clouds?

   This feeling is really too ethereal, and the ethereal Xu Guangling, who has always been calmer, can't believe himself at this time.

   But in fact, this matter is also very easy to verify, come again tonight, won't it be done? If you have the same experience, it must be true. And if not, well, let it go for now.

  Thinking of this, the slight doubts were completely dissipated.

   In the morning, I routinely met with the two elders. After the boxing, during dinner, Xu Guangling once again brought ten big buns, and he ate it with ease, and another ten more buns were not a problem.

   is really not big!

  After dinner, Xu Guangling said to the two old people by the way: "Teacher, my appetite seems to be getting bigger recently."

   In fact, the amount of food has increased before, but last night, it changed again.

   "Boy, most of the time I have eaten a steamed steamed bun per person. What's your food intake, it's cat food!" Mr. Chen said disdainfully.

   "A lot of steamed buns? Not many? I guess I can eat them too." Xu Guangling said.

"A lot, I'm sure you can't eat it." Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "Old Chen is talking about the kind of steamer that was placed on a large pot in the old days. One basket can sometimes steam thirty or forty steamed buns. Yes, and that kind of steamed buns, ordinary adults usually eat one meal, two are great."

   That's a meal for twenty people?

   With the comparison, Xu Guangling felt relieved. —Compared with Mr. Chen, he is really nothing but nothing.

   Old Mr. Zhang said again: "In my humble opinion, it is the time for you to grow your body, and it is inevitable to increase your appetite, so don't worry about it."

  Xu Guangling nodded, showing understanding.

   He thought the teacher said that he was two or three centimeters shorter before, and now he is growing up.

   Actually, the old man didn’t mean that.

   But it doesn't matter.

   He still slept after returning, but this time there was a small exception, that is, this time he did not see the five-colored flower in his sleep, but slept deeply until he woke up. This situation made Xu Guangling feel that what happened last night was not just an illusion, it might have had a considerable impact on his body.

   Although he doesn't know what the effect is for the time being.

  Although I didn't have a dream, I woke up a little later today, um, much later.

   Usually around 1 or 2 in the afternoon, but today it was 3:40, almost directly back to when he just practiced Tai Chi.

   So Xu Guangling remembered what the teacher said in the morning.

  Perhaps, he really has a long body now, so he needs more sleep, like a child?

   In this situation, Xu Guangling actually calmly and let nature take its course. It should be said that he has been letting nature take its course since this time. As for today's situation, the only small worry is that his daily spare time may have to be reduced again?

  In the afternoon, Xu Guangling spent half an hour taking a bath, and then read the book again, and the remaining forty or fifty minutes passed.

but.

  Extraordinary memory, forty or fifty minutes.

   These two add up, what is the result?

   As a result, he had already read half of the book "Zhuangzi".

   For the current Xu Guangling, if he has read it, it means that he has memorized it, not only every word, but even a single punctuation mark is impossible to miss.

   In fact, he was looking at it, not just memorizing it.

  If you just want to memorize this book, then the time just now is actually enough.

   But although he looked at it "slowly", there was still not much that Xu Guangling could understand. On the one hand, many words in this book are relatively unfamiliar, and many of those annotations, Xu Guangling could not believe at all, and later he did not read the annotations at all.

   is too pitiful!

   The purpose of reading the annotations is to understand the original text, but Xu Guangling found that, at least for this book, reading those annotations will lead you into a ditch.

   still needs his own understanding.

The rareness of    is only one aspect, and the other aspect is the author's description.

Among them, there are too many things that "can only be understood, but cannot be conveyed in words". In a sense, it is also just like what is said in "Lao Zi", "The Tao is the Tao, but the Tao is very Tao". just the specimen.

  If you have never seen a butterfly.

  You can't see the graceful posture of a taxidermied butterfly, let alone admire its flying among the flowers.

   This is a good book, but right now, it doesn't seem like the time to read it.

   One afternoon later, Xu Guangling had reached such a conclusion on the book Zhuangzi. This book, for him now, is a bit esoteric and a bit remote. Maybe he should find some easier books to read first.

   So, what to watch?

   If it was in the past, Xu Guangling must have chosen at will, and in the end, it must be a hodgepodge.

But he had just read "Zhuangzi" just now, and in the "Master of Health Care" chapter of "Zhuangzi", the first sentence was this sentence: "My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. If you have a limit, you will have no limit!" "

   Xu Guangling agrees!

   With the limitless, there is no limit! then what should we do?

  The higher level is not mentioned for the time being, but what can be done is to devote the limited time to the most exciting choices.

   So, choice becomes important.

   There is such a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius": "If you take it from the top, you will get it from it; if you take it from the middle, you will get it from the bottom; if you take it from the bottom, you will get nothing."

Thinking of this, the lists on the "Road to the Sages" swayed in Xu Guangling's mind. Some of them did not have books left in the world. For example, Lao Tzu and Zhuang Tzu, who were the most ancient, did have books. It's a pity He couldn't understand it again.

  The farthest of the times can’t read it, so, from the most recent times, flip through the past?

   This thought came to Xu Guangling's mind all his life, and only one name remained.

   The next reading direction and goals are there. Well, the Librarian's Anthology, or an anthology or something, should be in the library, right?
