Start with a photographic memory and build a memory palace

Chapter 187 The Secret of Earthly Immortals
……

Next.

Wu Wen’s battle with the “Giant Tree Virus” has officially begun.

Put Hua Nu on the bed in the room, and she will wake up naturally soon.

And he came to the practice room.

He also ordered that no one should disturb him no matter what, and even if the sky fell, they should wait until his retreat was over.

Then he entered the practice room alone.

Sit cross-legged in the center, calm your mind, close your eyes and concentrate, and immerse yourself in the inner scene.

He used his gift of "photographic memory" to constantly replay the interior scenes, and each time he restored everything to its original state before the giant tree virus was about to infect the entire interior.

During this process, Wu Wen carefully observed every detail of the giant tree virus and tried to understand the mechanism of its replication and spread.

He discovered that these vine-like virus codes seemed to be connected and replicated through certain specific logical rules, which were hidden in the structure of the giant tree.

In order to crack these rules, Wu Wen used his knowledge of numerology to mathematically model the structure of the giant tree. He tried to use various algorithms to simulate the growth and spread of the giant tree, looking for weaknesses and flaws.

however.

After countless ineffective tests, Wu Wen finally discovered that the key to the problem was not the giant tree itself.

It is like a seed that, once it enters his inner world, will take root and sprout.

No matter what he did to it, even if he pulled it out by the roots, it would grow again.

Therefore, Wu Wen realized that in order to solve it, he must start with his own consciousness.

Only by depriving the virus of the "land" where it resides and nourishes can it be truly eradicated.

So Wu Wen immediately changed direction.
Begin to analyze and study your own inner landscape.

The inner scene is a virtual mental space formed by the logical structure of consciousness, just like a mental system.

Because this system is not perfect and has loopholes, the giant tree virus can invade his inner world like a virus.

If you want to remove the virus, you must first find the system vulnerabilities inside.

Then, we can analyze how the giant tree virus invaded based on the vulnerability, understand its invasion principle, and come up with corresponding solutions.

Under Wu Wen's constant self-examination.

After two days and one night.

After using the "Yin Fu Jing" method of self-cultivation taught by his master Li Chunfeng, he finally found the loophole in his self-consciousness.

Self-examination sounds simple, it is just self-reflection, but the mystery behind it is only known to the person involved.

Wu Wen first analyzed his own conscious thinking patterns.

He discovered that his consciousness was not a one-sided connection, but was flowing, like a river.

The trajectory of his consciousness flow is characterized by free association, inverted time and space order, intermittent and jumpy plots.

In addition, his consciousness has the characteristic of radiation when he thinks about problems.

One thing you think about is a "point", that is, a "radiation point", and the associations triggered by it will form a "radiation line".

Through the interaction of the gathering and stretching of "points" and "lines", they are connected to each other to form a surface, forming a spiritual space.

The giant tree virus invades Wu Wen's inner world based on this consciousness and thinking pattern.

It uses unique structural graphics, and after Wu Wen remembers it, he uses his conscious activity patterns such as "free association" and "reversal of time and space order".

This allows them to obtain the "read and write" permissions of Wu Wen's consciousness, and then copy and invade it.

Now that we know the reason.

Wu Wen could also figure out how to deal with the giant tree virus.

First of all.

You should keep your mind as calm as water.

In this state, his consciousness was like a calm lake, no longer prone to free associations and jumping thoughts.

This would cut off the giant tree virus's ability to replicate by using his conscious activities.

then.

Design a defense mechanism based on your own conscious thinking patterns.

This mechanism is designed to interfere with and block the replication and transmission pathways of giant tree viruses.

By deeply simulating and predicting the behavior of the virus, Wu Wen carefully set up a series of "traps" and "obstacles" in the logic of conscious thinking.

These "traps" and "obstacles" prevent viruses from successfully obtaining the required "read and write" permissions when attempting to invade.

At last.

It is to conduct reverse deduction and implement anti-invasion strategies based on the invasion method of the giant tree virus.

Through in-depth research on the structure and transmission mechanism of the giant tree virus, Wu Wen discovered that in the process of replication and transmission, it also needs to rely on specific logical rules to connect and replicate conscious thinking.

This is its weakness.

Wu Wen took advantage of this weakness to launch a counter-invasion.

Since the giant tree virus uses his conscious activities such as "free association" and "reversal of time and space" to invade.

Then he can design a special "anti-virus program" based on this.

When the giant tree virus was replicating and invading, Wu Wen decisively inserted another instruction into it.

Then, the giant tree in his inner vision instantly disintegrated, and the thick vines collapsed into threads as thin as plant fibers.

What came with it was a huge flood of information that quickly spread throughout Wu Wen's inner world.

Faced with this situation, Wu Wen immediately activated his inner vision processing capabilities to divert, analyze, record, and deduce this huge torrent of information...

In the end, these originally confusing information turned into useful information, which was read and understood by Wu Wen one by one.

Two days passed quickly.

During this period, what he saw were not some secret techniques or secret methods, but rather pieces of memory information about its growth.

Although this information seems to be of no use at all.

But with Wu Wen's in-depth interpretation, he keenly perceived the profound content hidden therein.

It turned out that he had understood it wrong all along.

The real masters of the underground space of Gaochang Kingdom are not the insects, but the plants growing in it. Those weird insects are actually slaves raised by these plants.

It seems that the insects are eating the plants, but in fact it is the plants that enslave the insects.

This reminded Wu Wen of the Miao people's art of poisoning insects.

Gu is a fungus and chong is an insect.

Fungi are the real subject, and insects are just organisms that are used.

Thinking about all the living things on this planet.

Wu Wen suddenly discovered it at this moment.

Plants, which seem to be at the bottom of the food chain, are actually the real controllers of nature.

Scenes from nature documentaries that he had seen before flashed quickly through Wu Wen's mind.

In order to spread their seeds and take root and sprout in more distant places, some plants carefully design their fruits to make them extremely delicious and attract a specific type of animal to eat them.

While enjoying the delicious food, animals also invisibly become the "messengers" of plants to spread seeds, bringing seeds to farther places through carrying, defecation and other methods.

The largest life form in nature on Earth is not an animal, but a seemingly extremely weak bacterium.

Their root systems are so complex that they can even extend for several kilometers beneath the earth. They are so large that they are like a mountain.

The largest forest in the world is a male poplar tree that has been cloned and reproduced asexually. It weighs more than a thousand tons and has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.

Although plants seem to have no connection with each other, they can actually exchange information.

Just like fungi, in addition to transmitting through chemical pheromones, hyphae can also communicate through electrical signals.

According to the birth process of the sacrificial spirit.

Based on the huge life volume and long life process of plants, Wu Wen can conclude that those strange plants underground in Gaochang Kingdom must have given birth to spirits among them!
Think of all kinds of information.

Wu Wen gradually understood those people in Gaochang Kingdom who were studying insects.

Or, the core of their research was not insects.

Or, they are a group of people enslaved by plants.

Just like a flower slave, after growing up, his heart will be constantly bewitched and he will want to return to that place.

—

I've been in seclusion for too long.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Wu Wen temporarily stopped practicing.

As soon as he left the training room, the guard who had been waiting outside the door immediately stepped forward and saluted in surprise: "My Lord!"

"Nothing happened these days, right?" Wu Wen asked casually.

"Everything is fine, but..." the guard answered hesitantly.

"Just what?" Wu Wen turned and looked at him.

"It's just that your maid, Hua Nu, suddenly disappeared!"

The guard said in a panic, and then immediately explained: "On the second day of your retreat, she was like a possessed person at night and wanted to leave, but we stopped her.

But her condition got worse and worse, until we tied her up in the house, and she disappeared one night.

Since you instructed before your retreat that nothing should disturb you, so..."

After hearing this, Wu Wen had a blank expression on his face. He just nodded slightly and left under the nervous gaze of the guards.

Return to the room.

Wu Wen looked at the box where he kept the tentacles.

As expected, the contents were gone, presumably having returned to Hua Nu.

That makes sense.

With the tentacle-growing suit on her body, if Hua Nu wanted to leave, no one in Dingxiang could stop her.

He turned to the window and looked up towards the northwest in the direction of Gaochang State.

Thinking of the information he had just obtained and knowing where Hua Nu was going, Wu Wen muttered to himself:
"Gaochang is not a safe place!"

After thinking for a moment.

Wu Wen suddenly ordered the guards outside the door: "Tell Ashina Simo to come see me quickly!"

The guards obeyed the order and immediately went to deliver the message.

The next morning.

Upon receiving the message, Ashina Simo rode at full speed from Wuchuan to Dingxiang.

"My Lord!" When he saw Wu Wen, he bowed respectfully.

"I will go to Gaochang secretly. You select five hundred elite Turkic cavalry to follow me, and then you stay in Dingxiang. No one can find out that I am leaving before I come back." Wu Wen ordered him.

After hearing this, Ashina Simo looked at Wu Wen in shock.

First, they were curious about why Wu Wen wanted to go to Gaochang; second, they were surprised that as the Grand Commander of Anbei in the Tang Dynasty and a frontier official, it was a serious crime for Wu Wen to leave his territory without permission.

However, Ashina Simo did not ask any further questions, but immediately obeyed the order after hearing it.

First of all.

Wu Wenxian announced to the public that he would continue to remain in seclusion, and all affairs of the Anbei Grand Military Governor's Office would be temporarily managed by Ashina Simo. Only if there were any matters that could not be handled would they be reported to him.

Then, that night.

Ashina Simo quietly assembled the 500 most elite Turkic cavalry under his command and followed Wu Wen to quietly leave Dingxiang.

Under the cover of night, Wu Wen led 500 cavalrymen towards Gaochang.

He decided to leave after careful consideration.

In addition to bringing Hua Nu back, there is another purpose, which is to see the mysterious place under Gaochang Kingdom.

Cultivation is not something that can be done behind closed doors. Sometimes, you also need to go out and gain experience.

Wu Wen has stayed in Dingxiang for too long, and he needs to move around. This is a good opportunity for him to go to Gaochang.
