dogma

In a classroom on the second floor of the skill building, Ou Yinye was flipping through a stack of draft paper that Rao Xinghai gave him.

All the drawings on the paper are skeleton diagrams of snakes.

"Draw 80 pictures in one night?" Ou Yinye hummed dissatisfiedly, "It's average."

Rao Xinghai didn't talk back, and sat obediently in front of him.

The classrooms in the skill building are usually not open to the public, but Ou Yinye's identity is different.When Deng Hong knew that he was going to give Rao Xinghai a small stove, he was almost stunned. He wanted to watch but couldn't, so he had to hand over the key and leave.

During yesterday's skill show preliminaries, Ou Yiye explained the principle of doubling to Rao Xinghai as concisely as possible. After the preliminaries, he immediately took Rao Xinghai to the skill building and asked Rao Xinghai to double the golden python. Learn about the current highest multiplier.

It's a pity that the golden python's current maximum multiplier is only 38 times, which can only be regarded as a medium level among all the mental bodies that can be gigantic.

Ou Yinye told him that he is the world record holder of doubling, and there is another sentinel in China who also has an excellent doubling spirit. "A female sentinel of the Crisis Office, Zhou Sha. Her tree viper can multiply to 300 times at most, and she is still active on the front line." Ou Yinye told Rao Xinghai, "Very, very beautiful tree viper, poisonous snake, but The multiplied form is so beautiful, even if you know that it might be eaten in the next moment, you will still stare at it."

Rao Xinghai: "Is Zhou Sha pretty?"

Ou Yinye: "Of course! Her child is as beautiful as her..."

Rao Xinghai looked at him quietly.

"Cough, that's not the point." Ou Yinye quickly brought the topic back, "Let's not talk about aquatic organisms. At present, in the world, all terrestrial organisms that can reach 200 times the spiritual body, without exception, are all snake."

Biologically, there are four subclasses of reptiles, and snakes are one of the diapsids. Compared with other reptiles, it is characterized by severe degeneration of limbs.Ou Yinye used the golden python as an example: the stomach of the golden python has extremely small hind limbs, which are basically non-functional and can be ignored.

And precisely because of the degeneration of its limbs, the snake has become the most easily multiplied spiritual body.

Ou Yinye drew a simple schematic diagram at that time: a horizontal line with an ellipse wrapped around it, like a horizontally elongated "日" character.He added a dozen small vertical bars to the horizontal line.

The horizontal line is the spine of the snake, the vertical bar is the rib, and the oval is the shape of the snake.

When Rao Xinghai saw the picture, he immediately understood what Ou Yinye meant.

The reason why snake spirits can obtain a huge multiplication number through learning is that their multiplication is the simplest-only need to increase the number of vertebrae.

Snakes vary in length, but are all remarkably similar in shape: the spine at the center of the torso is connected to the ribs, which connect to and support the ventral scales.The subcutaneous muscles contract continuously, and the abdominal scales move regularly, so that the snake can crawl.

A snake's spine, therefore, is the key to its form and movement.

The number of vertebrae in snakes is mostly between 100 and 400. The increase in the number of vertebrae will naturally lead to the increase in ribs, abdominal scales, muscles and other parts. The snake head only needs to be enlarged in proportion.Its doubling is much easier than other vertebrates

"If you know how to add vertebrae to your golden python, your golden python may increase in size." At that time, Ou Yinye left Rao Xinghai with a homework: in one night, he had to thoroughly understand the skeletal structure of snakes, And be able to draw the skeleton of the snake.

In order for the spiritual body to multiply smoothly, sentries and guides must be extremely familiar with the bone structure of their own spiritual body.When doubling, he will gradually add spines to it in his mind, extending the length of its entire body.

They must be very familiar with the different parts of the spine, what shape and size the spine is, and how each bone is connected.

This is the most basic and important knowledge for learning the multiplied spiritual body.

So after saying goodbye to Ou Yine yesterday, Rao Xinghai immediately spent time in the library studying the reptile guide.The more than 80 drafts he gave to Ou Yinye were quite decent, and he threw many waste drafts into the trash can.

Ou Yiye looked dissatisfied on the surface, but was surprised in his heart.

Rao Xinghai has a rare talent, there are very few sentries and guides who can double their mental bodies without receiving any learning.If you don't understand the skeletal structure of the creature, this "multiplication" actually pulls the mental body apart, and the movement form of the mental body will be affected. That is to say, Rao Xinghai's golden python actually has low combat effectiveness and is very fragile.

He could see that Rao Xinghai's golden python was afraid of the beautiful female classmate's vulture, but to Ou Yiye's surprise, even so, when faced with the murderous aura released by his own king cobra and its unprecedented huge form, Rao Xinghai and the golden python did not flinch.

The young man in front of him didn't know that his golden python was fragile.This may put him in great danger, but it may also give him great strength.

He folded the draft paper and returned it to Rao Xinghai.

Rao Xinghai: "Can I double the golden python now?"

"You can't do it." Ou Yinye replied quickly, "You know the vertebrae of snakes, but you still need a lot of practice to know where and what kind of bones should be added when doubling."

Rao Xinghai was annoyed: "So troublesome?"

Ou Yinye: "I'll give you one more homework, it's a long one, but I hope you can practice every day."

Rao Xinghai nodded.

Ou Yinye: "You raise a golden python in your own 'sea'. To what extent do you want to double your mental body, the golden python in the 'sea' must be how big."

Rao Xinghai was stunned: "Raising snakes...?"

Seeing his puzzled face, Ou Yine asked another question: "Let me ask you, does the spiritual body have bones?"

"...Yes." After Rao Xinghai replied, he slowly revealed a look of contemplation, "No, no. It is an externalized form, and there is no bone."

"You can think it doesn't have it, or you can think it has it." Ou Yinye picked up a pencil, and hastily drew a skeleton on the white paper, adding an outline to it.

Rao Xinghai: "Dog?"

"Tibetan mastiff, the spiritual body of another beautiful female classmate of yours. This is the skeleton of a Tibetan mastiff." After Ou Yiye finished drawing, he wiped off the bones in the outer outline and held the paper in front of Rao Xinghai. "This is what we saw. It is impossible for us to see the skeleton, but does the skeleton exist? It does, it exists in the subconscious mind of the Sentinels and Guides, it was in the animal body when we first came into contact with the spiritual body. It's the scaffolding of vertebrates, and even though we can't see the bones, we know they're there."

Rao Xinghai remembered that this is what he said in the chapter "Spiritual Body" in the general education course: "Some scholars call the process of the initial formation of the spiritual body 'learning' or 'rubbing'."

Three to five years old is the age at which sentinels and guides are formed, and it is basically the period when children form their basic worldview.Child psychologist Piaget called the stage from 3 to 7 years old the pre-operational stage. Children at this age begin to learn to use symbols to describe the world: houses, the sun, animals, food, toys... The world begins in the child's I have a concrete shape in my heart.

They describe the world with symbols, and at the same time express themselves with imitation and imagination: imitating the actions of family members sweeping the floor, imitating the way grandparents cook, imitating fathers wearing glasses, imitating mothers putting on makeup... "playing house" is particularly obvious Imitation game.

"The formation of the spiritual body is the way the little sentinels and little guides describe the world and express themselves. Whatever kind of animal a child touches, he will instinctively restore it." Ou Yiye spread his hands and clenched his fists one after another. "Imitation, and imagination, are the necessary process for everyone to understand the world. The spiritual body itself is a product of symbolization. Of course, it is also something that children build with imitation and imagination. Does it have bones? It does not. But bones exist Does it exist, and the bones are hidden inside the symbol of the spiritual body."

When this "symbol" is formed, the child will not be aware of the existence of bones, nor will they understand the importance of bones.

That's why it is necessary to give sentries and guides different learning content at different stages: understanding the world, understanding themselves, and their most loyal partners.

"If you raise a snake in the 'sea', you can add a spine to it. As big a snake as you can create, you can get as big a spiritual body. This homework is very important. I can't supervise you all the time. You must be self-disciplined." Ou Yiye finally thought of encouraging Rao Xinghai, "Rao Xinghai, you are very special. Not all sentries and guides have the ability to multiply. This requires a strong desire, long-term study, precise design, and a fatal thing .”

Rao Xinghai's eyes flickered.Ou Yinye saw the fire in his eyes.Rao Xinghai is full of curiosity about himself, and at the same time full of desire for power.

"Doubling requires talent." Ou Yinye said.

Rao Xinghai opened his mouth slightly, as if he had received some kind of affirmation, he lowered his thick eyebrows and nodded.

"Just like doubling, miniaturization also requires a detailed understanding of biological structure. A spiritual body capable of doubling and miniaturization at the same time is very, very rare, even rarer than you." Ou Yinye wanted to hit him again after boasting, "Don't be arrogant, just work hard to raise snakes. In the skill show finals in the afternoon, you can compete casually. It doesn't matter if you lose. You are really weak now. If your snake meets your beautiful female classmate's snake vulture, say Maybe it will shrink to the side again..."

He said dryly: "This is all the knowledge points of the sophomore skill class. I told you in advance. Why didn't you report to the Talent Planning Bureau? It's a pity that New Hope doesn't have many good teachers, and the benefits are not good. , all the good teachers have run away.”

Rao Xinghai: "There is a good teacher."

Ou Yinye scoffed.Rao Xinghai suddenly asked him again: "Do you only teach sentry guides? Do other special human beings have their own fighting methods without a spiritual body?"

He thought of the werewolf boss that Qu Wu and Yang Deyi talked about in the dormitory yesterday.

"Of course. There are werewolves. Even half-zombies and underground people, who you think are the most vulnerable terminally ill patients, have their own fighting methods. Half-zombies are very light. If you add a part of light metal protection to the joints, you can move freely." The ability will become very strong. The underground people are just the opposite. They are very heavy, but they are the kings of the underground, and their lithified skin is very sensitive to humidity and vibration in the air. It is difficult for anyone to successfully attack. This Two kinds of special human beings cooperate with each other and are the best partner for investigation and intelligence." Ou Yiye said a lot in one breath, "There are all kinds of people in my special operations team before. In the Talent Planning Bureau there are All kinds of students, so I said that New Hope is really not good, it is too narrow, only recruiting sentries and guides..."

"Does the Talent Planning Bureau really have half-zombies and underground people?" Rao Xinghai was curious about New Hope's competitors.

"I taught them intelligence courses." Ou Yinye said, "Some people really left a deep impression on me. There was a half-zombie student in the International Relations major back then. His grades were particularly good, his mind was particularly flexible, and his eloquence Absolutely, make up the story just like the real thing."

Ou Yinye yawned: "Unfortunately, after graduating, he went to join some club, to do prospecting, to be a mineral hunter...it doesn't sound very reliable."

"What is a mineral hunter?" Rao Xinghai asked again

At this time, at the scene of the selection of the cutest spiritual body, the host girl asked Xi Weiyun the same question.

Shen Chunlan, who was beside the two of them, did not dare to breathe out, and had already pricked up his ears.

International relations major, exploration, mineral hunter.

All the descriptions brought him back to the spring of his sophomore year.The deep hoarse voice from the phone told him stories, described hot and wet love, and the valleys and mountains, the sky and the earth beyond the narrow campus.

...he turned out to be a half-zombie.

"A person who is looking for mines and minerals?" Xi Weiyun shrugged, "I don't know too well. At that time, he returned to the school as an outstanding alumnus to give lectures, and he is too good at telling stories."

Xi Weiyun was a freshman at the time and had just entered high school, full of passion and hope.What the senior brother said made everyone excited.In addition to the small number of special humans in the school, there are many ordinary human students in the lecture.

Originally, most people came here with a curious mind, wanting to see what the legendary half-zombie with blood-red eyes and ugly skin looks like.

As a result, after a lecture, almost all the students fell in love with him.

"A lot of people asked for his autograph." Xi Weiyun said, "Song Qi, I remember his name is Song Qi. He said that he has the same name as a writer, but his dream is to be the half-zombie who can tell the best stories."

Shen Chunlan: "..."

He succeeded!Shen Chunlan thought, at least this Song Qi—if he was the mysterious person on the phone—succeeded in capturing an audience of college students whom he had never met before.

The phone vibrated, and Shen Chunlan took it out to see that it was Rao Xinghai.

He hurriedly left the venue and answered the phone.Rao Xinghai's voice was very happy: "Where are you? I'm going to watch the mice dance cheerleading."

Shen Chunlan: "I finished the dance early, I'm still waiting for you."

Rao Xinghai was shocked at once: "Isn't it starting at eleven o'clock?"

"Start at eight o'clock." Shen Chunlan said angrily.After speaking, I felt that my anger was unreasonable, and my earlobe couldn't help but feel slightly warm.

Rao Xinghai scratched his ears: "Okay, then I'll go find you first. I've already finished the two homework you mentioned."

He happily turned off his phone, and walked out of the skill building with Ou Yiye.

Ou Yiye walked very slowly, looking like an old man with a sickness all over his body.As he was walking, he was meditating, and suddenly remembered something, shaking the water bottle in his hand: "I remembered! I remembered!"

His tone was very urgent: "That half-zombie student is called Song Qi! Oh, he's going to piss me off. When I was about to graduate, I greeted my friends from the special management committee. They all planned to talk to Song Qi about job offers. Something happened, but Song Qi told me that he was going to explore, he was going to find minerals."

Rao Xinghai didn't know how to answer.

"Yuanxing Club... the organization he joined is called Yuanxing Club." Ou Yinye had countless sharp steel needles hidden in his eyes, "I never heard any news about him after that."

The author has something to say:

Today's program comes from "Burnt Fish and Snake" by senior sister Zhou Sha and student Gao Shu who were cueed!

Gao Shu: Wait... what fish?

Director: Fanyu.

Zhou Sha: What snake?

Director: Tuan Snake.

Two people: What does it mean to combine?

Director: Boil the fish and kill the snake.

Zhou Sha, Gao Shu: ...

The show could not be performed smoothly, and the director was hunted down by a snake and a fish, and fled five hundred miles barefoot.
