The light and shadow of the candlestick danced on Viadrin's face.

"Hidden knowledge...inspiration..." Fan Ning chewed on these two words and felt that they were not uncommon words, but put together, they were not easy to understand.

"Implicit knowledge is a concept opposite to explicit knowledge, rational knowledge, and experiential knowledge." Viadlin explained.

"That is: secret knowledge, intuitive irrational knowledge, and transcendental knowledge."

"Can you give some examples?" Fan Ning asked.

"Examples?" Viadlin's tone was a little drawn out, "For example, those mysterious, supreme and dangerous existences, the knowledge about their origins and mysteries."

"You mean, God? The gods believed in by the three righteous churches? The unfallen fire of the Holy Sun Church? The raven of the Lingyin Discipline Society? The Fanghui poet of the Fanghui Temple?" Fan Ning recalled the world. Common sense that indigenous people should have.

"God...it seems that you ordinary people are indeed more accustomed to this title."

"What's that called?"

"For those of us who know, we generally call them -" Viadlin's pupils suddenly focused:

"The Lord of Witnesses."

"Lords of Witnesses?" Fan Ning was puzzled, "So are they the ones who created the world? There are three of them in total?"

"No no no"

"Although they are extremely powerful, they are not omniscient and omnipotent, nor can they be understood in a personal way. Each Lord of Witnesses has his own phase of control. Although the three major righteous churches praise their own Lords of Witnesses, they will never advocate that they are the Lords of Witnesses. They created the world and will not deny the existence of other witnesses.”

"In fact, based on my current limited knowledge, the number of Lords of Witness may have exceeded twenty..."

"So many?" Fan Ning exclaimed.

He originally guessed that there might be several "evil gods" outside the three major righteous churches.

But this number really exceeded his expectations.

"Are there so many more evil gods than those three righteous gods?"

"It is not impossible to distinguish between good gods and evil gods. After all, human beings need to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." Viadlin said, "From the perspective of human logic, there are indeed a small number of Lords of Witness who are relatively gentle, and others Some are extremely dangerous, but I think the reason for this difference is just the word 'random'."

"It's like whether I throw candy or cigarette butts into the ants on the ground, it just depends on my mood?" Fan Ning tried to understand.

"It might be more appropriate to replace the ant colony with a microorganism. You didn't notice it at all, and you didn't intend to reward or punish it." Viadlin corrected.

"So the warning of the True God Church to the world is worth paying attention to: Only by praying to the True Lord can you obtain safe revelation or comfort. And if you recite the names of other mysterious beings, or watch or listen to something that you should not see , things that should not be listened to, the result is definitely not insight, but a high probability of being infected with madness.”

"Okay, then I don't understand one thing. What's the point of the church spreading faith?" Fan Ning fell into thinking, "Since the Lord of Witness is not personified at all, does he still need people's worship? Does he care? "

“The need to be admired and the desire to be respected, isn’t this a ‘personalized’ characteristic?”

"This question involves the difference between schools and churches," Viadlin said.

"In the view of the school, the existence of the Lord of Witnesses represents the rules he governs. As long as you follow these rules to construct the secret ritual, you can gain insight into hidden knowledge and inspiration. The difference is that different Lords of Witnesses have different rules, and some may be in line with common sense. , some may go against common sense.”

"Therefore, the school's attitude toward the Lord of Witness is to study, comply, communicate, and give feedback. They not only study the rules of the Lord of Witness of the three major righteous churches, but also delve into the mysteries of other Lords of Witness."

"Like a lawyer, he studies various legal policies just to realize his own demands." Fan Ning commented.

"This time you understand more clearly." Viadlin laughed "buzzingly".

"And the church's attitude toward the Lord of Witness, at least officially, is to worship, believe, pray, and respect. In doing so, they also received the revelation they wanted, and the secret ritual they constructed has also been proven to be effective."

"From the school's point of view, this is because the few witnesses in their family happen to be 'more personified' and 'more gentle' by chance, and they happen to be able to resonate with Him in these ways."

“Although the Church only follows the Lord of their witnesses, because they study it so profoundly, the revelation of insights is no less powerful than that of the schools.”

"Perhaps this view of our school has reduced the sanctity of 'faith', but I do not deny the positive role of faith. After all, the Zhengshen Church guides people to actively do good deeds, distinguish right from wrong, and also provides them with confession and relief."

"So 'faith' is the rule of the three righteous gods, but it is not necessarily the rule of other witnesses." Fan Ning understood, "Did you just say that your Woodpecker Consulting Office is a school of thought? "

"That's just a name for outsiders. The name of our organization is called 'Guidance School'."

Seeing that Fan Ning continued to ask questions, Viadlin raised his hand to interrupt him: "There is no need to delve into the issues involving the background of each knowledgeable organization and their relationship with each other now."

"This secret ritual that protects the mind has a limited time."

"Now we are talking about the knowing person itself. We have just given an example of 'hidden knowledge'. Now let's talk about another factor: 'inspiration'."

"There are vast amounts of literature on such issues, but they all point to the same logical core on the origin of the Lord of Witness and the nature of the inspiration of the Knower——"

"Noan 'Glow' Refractory Theory."

When Fan Ning heard this, his heart moved.

Noah? Noa? The "Sound Flow, Texture and Dream" that Teacher Anton received seems to be written in this language.

"The third history before the New Era ended with the collapse of the Tulungarian dynasty, which existed for more than a thousand years. This was a period in which there were still many unsolved mysteries. The earlier Noah dynasty existed for even longer In short, it has been more than a hundred years, and it is shrouded in fog. "

"Many books written by knowledgeable people in the New Era are mostly from ancient books from the two dynasties of the Third History. They just translated and interpreted them with the help of their own inspiration, making those high-level hidden knowledge more approachable."

As Viadrin spoke, he took out a shabby book. The hard cover with shell-like patterns had been mostly damaged, and the scattered and curled yellow pages were fixed by a wallet.

"The Refracted Tantra of Ezekiel, written in the Noahic language, was written by 'Ezekiel', an astrologer and court musician in the early Tulungalia dynasty. The author claims that the content in the book is his own interpretation of the original work Guchaniz Translation of the idiom, and some reduction to suit the libretto of a mysterious opera."

"Of course, such ancient books are called banned books by the guys in the Special Patrol Office."

Fan Ning thought to himself: "So the Special Patrol Office is considered a church or a school? Listening to this tone, the relationship between the Guidance School and the Special Patrol Office seems to be cooperative but not completely right. I wonder what the relationship is between them and the imperial authorities. ”

"Caron, what do you think of this world?" Viadrin asked, pressing the cover of the book with both hands.

"Ah?" Fan Ning was a little surprised. He thought this question was too big. "Are you discussing philosophical issues with me?"

"Your feelings or impressions, systematic or scattered, peaceful or extreme."

"Okay." Fan Ning began to organize his words. The things that came to mind at first included elegant and clean university campuses, crowded and dilapidated civilian housing, beautiful natural wilderness scenery, a corner of the city with sewage flowing everywhere, and the youth of handsome men and beautiful women. Vitality, the decaying body of the elderly, the complex worldly human nature, and the magnificent and sublime art palace built by the same people.

"It may be very contradictory, or full of shortcomings," he tried to say, "Industry is booming and prosperity is within reach, but pleasure is the appearance and pain is the essence. Life is too short, and art is eternal."

"Related interests: music major. The last sentence is my personal information." Fan Ning added in his mind.

Viadlin was noncommittal. He raised his hand, added some incense, and then said:

"Here I read some of the Noa words that can be deciphered from the book "Ezekiel's Refraction Tantra"."

The "gathering point" is located at the highest point of the world, and the world's first concepts and forms are continuously thrown out from it. His true form is neither a personality nor a rule, indescribable and incomprehensible.

Some of the concepts and forms thrown out by "Gathering Point" descend to a relatively low place and turn into "glow".

"Aura" is complete divinity and original inspiration, but still too high, indescribable, and incomprehensible. Only the incomplete projection occasionally refracted by "glow" can be described in words.

The complete divinity from the "glow" has thus collapsed into various limited projections. We can never observe the original appearance of the complete divinity. We can only witness the phases of the divine part in secret revelations.

The first phase of divinity is "candle", the second phase is "key", the third phase is "ember", the fourth phase is "barren", the fifth phase is "cocoon", and the sixth phase is "cocoon". The first phase is "Chi", and the seventh phase is "Yan".

This has the Lord of Witnesses who is in charge of aspects.

The initial inspiration from "glow" is decomposed into radiant matter with various phase attributes. The core of radiant matter is condensed into "glow tower", and the outer extension is dispersed into "shifting surge".

This is the "shifting flow" explored by the knowledgeable - the will of the world.

The "moving surge" continues to drift downward, and the silt at the bottom is distorted in color and condensed like a shell.

This is the abode of the ignorant - the appearance of the world.

Together they constitute the real world, a world that exists as representation and will.

The candle shadow was still swaying, and Viadrin closed the book.

His narration only has three to four hundred words, but it brings endless thought to Fan Ning.

"Caron, do you now understand what 'hidden knowledge' and 'inspiration' mean?"

"You just said that the world is full of shortcomings precisely because its surface is filled with filthy mud. Only by having a trace of the original divine spark in our souls can we become knowledgeable people and search hard in the flow, just for See the world in more true colors.”
