"Oh, it's nothing. Google search reading" Fan Ning suddenly woke up.

He smiled and said: "I just think it looks too strange, but I don't even understand Tulungarian and Noa. This Guchaniz language is a bible to me. Well, it's just Intuitively weird.”

Fan Ning suppressed his excitement after seeing Chinese in this world.

Dupont said: "Then your intuition is quite accurate. If you have preliminary research and understanding of various ancient languages ​​in the future, you will find that this Guchaniz language is really the strangest one."

"The Noa language family in the northern continent is an inflectional language. Part of it differentiated into Tulungarian, which retained this typical inflectional feature, and the other part differentiated into Archaic Hoffmann, which gradually evolved during its evolution. Influenced by the Nileru people, the Tungus people on the coast, and the Janus people in the western continent, when you and I speak Hofmann today, there are already some polymodal syntactic features of Lange. As for the southern continent. Several language families are mainly agglutinative languages"

Could these be things that knowledgeable people need to study? Fan Ning was confused.

"But the grammatical characteristics of Guchanizi language do not seem to belong to any of the above categories. Its origin and age are a mystery, and it is called a 'mysterious isolated language' by some people. In the early part of the third history, there were very few scholars, such as this He claimed to have deciphered a few characters, but from what I saw, his vague Tulungarian translation was probably a mess of words. By the time of the New Year, almost no one could understand a single character of Guchanizi. ”

Fan Ning felt a little funny when he heard this.

Even if it is normal Chinese, you may not be able to decipher many words.

This kind of Chinese with partially reversed word order, coupled with the "Mars"-style magical modification of glyphs, is amazing if you can understand it.

I almost vomited myself

"So" Dupont shook his head helplessly, "this book "On Cost and Origin" actually has only a small part of the author's annotations below the translation that is of practical significance to us."

"The author summarizes some risk rules in the transmission of hidden knowledge, which can be used as a reference: for example, it is safer to have secret protection than not, 'reading or writing' is safer than 'listening or speaking', and vague expressions are better than clear ones. representation is safer, etc.”

While Dupont was describing these laws, Fan Ning was looking at the small illustration on the open page of the book.

He slowly recited the Chinese words above silently——

"Law of transmission of implicit knowledge:

The flow of implicit knowledge always follows this direction: from high order to low order, from the majority to the minority, from representation to will. Going in the opposite direction will always bear the cost of different forms. "

Although I cannot fully understand this original sentence, it is obviously more comprehensive, concise, and more concise than what Dupont said!

Fan Ning listened to Dupont's story and flipped through the documents casually as if nothing had happened.

This book indeed only has a few scattered hand-copied illustrations, and the rest are "randomly translated" Tulungarian translations.

The only valuable information in it is this sentence, and the rest of the Chinese is really a mess of "dark fairy tale" fragments.

If you want to continue to obtain other information, you still have to continue listening.

Dupont continued his story.

“Then the author suggests that the reason why accepting implicit knowledge risks spiritual contamination is: language!”

"Human thinking relies on language to exist. Even simple thinking requires at least the 'language of actions', while slightly complex thinking requires the 'language of words' as a carrier. For example, implicit knowledge must rely on language. "

"Language is the creation of the Lord of Witnesses. The birth and evolution history of each language is itself a secret history, and it is also the embodiment of the will of the Lord of Witnesses. Human beings survive and develop in the use of language, and they are also eternally stared at by the Lord of Witnesses in the use of language. ”

When he heard this, Fan Ning's doubts about this also opened up.

But he had a vague conjecture, which made him a little excited. He continued to listen attentively to see if his conjecture could be confirmed!

"Finally, the author systematically summarizes the principles of risk avoidance and summarizes them into three forms of implicit knowledge transmission."

"The first type of transmission form: direct. With the help of language carrier, direct listening, speaking, reading and writing, this is high-risk transmission."

"The second type of transmission form: metaphorical. Using the carrier of language, but using metaphor or symbolism to process key information, this is a medium-risk transmission. The reason why those mystical books or church documents love ancient languages, and the words are unclear, is They can tell stories and recite prayers, precisely because they use the second type of delivery method.”

"The third type of transmission form: creative. Use non-verbal carriers, such as music, painting, sculpture, dance and other art forms to carry implicit knowledge. The author believes that this type of transmission is low-risk, and can even be theoretically risk-free transfer."

Sure enough! ! !

Fan Ning finally understood theoretically why music and art could bring him such an unspeakable ultimate experience.

But then Dupont poured cold water on himself with his last words:

"But whether this type of form, such as music, can really carry hidden knowledge and whether others can really understand it effectively, the answer is questionable. It requires too high a threshold for creators and appreciators. It may be that in a long time, music and art and other art forms , its role in occultism still exists as a kind of secret atmosphere - as a component of the secret ritual."

"But the author believes that using non-linguistic art to gain insight into the truth may be the only way for future knowledgeable people to get rid of chaos and shadows, climb to the dome of the Huita, and achieve complete spiritual freedom."

Fanning's eyes changed several times during the class.

Knowledgeable people are so rare, and 99% of knowledgeable people spend their entire lives exploring in the flow, and they cannot enter the door of the Huita and become knowledgeable people.

Perhaps only by entering the Huita and climbing to the dome can I truly know the essence behind the appearance of the world.

"Today's class ends here, I'm going to practice the piano." Dupont stood up and interrupted Fanning's thoughts.

"Thank you."

After Dupont opened the door of his office, he turned back:

"Carlon, you must understand that those who know can never completely avoid the risk of hidden knowledge. Even if you deliberately turn a deaf ear to it all day long, the chaotic will of the world will pollute you in every possible way because you have already glimpsed it."

"Keep a heart of inquiry, don't give up because of choking. But written literature discussion and sharing, metaphors in literature and art, and the protection of secret rituals when necessary are always better than verbal expression of mysticism. So you have to master the ancient language as soon as possible. The authors of these books have more or less processed metaphors when writing. The books in your office mainly involve low-level hidden knowledge, and the risk of reading them with your inspiration is relatively low."

So Fanning asked: "So what are the specific risks of contacting hidden knowledge?"

"Various forms."

Dupont's voice was a little gloomy and terrifying:

"They will become your inseparable symbionts, subtly influencing your personality and values, tampering with your memory and cognition, stimulating the growth of your desires and dark side, and making your personality deviate from its original appearance. They will make you see things you shouldn't see, hear sounds you shouldn't hear, smell smells you shouldn't smell, and make you have all kinds of thoughts you shouldn't have, ultimately leading to your 'distortion' or 'loss'."

"When you heard what I said, your first feeling was fear and disgust, right?"

"But in fact, when some changes happen, you accept them in your heart, you don't know it, you feel that you should be like this, and even think that this is the transformation trajectory of your 'mental journey'."

Although Viadrin has told himself the tone of this world and he has made his choice, Fanning still feels a chill in his heart when he hears these words, especially the latter part.

"Is this the price of pursuing invisible power?" Fanning's tone is a little solemn.

Dupont's last answer before closing the door was quite meaningful:

"The first leader of the Guidance School, Guido da Lezzo, once said a famous saying -"

"It is not power that has a price, but knowledge."
