Chapter 47 Alien Aesthetics

Then I suddenly realized that the second volume of the negative texts that Wang Yue had been hiding was in the ceiling of the warehouse.

Wang Yue looked at the ghost painting talisman on the wall and said, "If you really want to help me, please get that book and let's take a look at it together to see if it can be cracked."

I nodded, a little anxious, knowing that it would be useless to stay here again, so I comforted me a few words and then thought about it and left the bardo realm. I opened my eyes and returned to the bedroom. Li Damin was sitting on the side and staring at me. When I saw me coming back, I asked what was going on.

I looked at him and told him about the situation, but did not mention the negative classics. This matter was too secret, not to hide it from him. Wang Yue said that once such classics were born, they would attract many people's envy, fighting for each other, and causing a lot of trouble. But for the sake of Li Damin, I was better than not knowing some things.

Li Damin had no doubts and was extremely interested in Wang Yue's bardo realm, especially the huge palace, long pillars on all sides, and those screens shaped like a maze... These strange environmental elements made Li Damin extremely confused. He said to me: "Lin Cong, I really envy you for being able to enter and exit those situations freely. I was so fascinated that I felt itchy when I heard this."

I smiled bitterly: "What's there to be confused about?"

"Isn't it a mystery to the world different from the human world?" Li Damin said yearningly: "My favorite movie is "Alien". Actually, when I was in junior high school, I started to study alien aesthetics."

"What's the thing? Alien aesthetics? What's that?" I asked curiously.

Li Damin said: "You have read "Alien" and many elements and designs are different from the earth's civilization. They already have the appearance of extraterrestrial civilizations. The main reason why this work is famous for generations is that it is not simply designed a terrible creature, but sets up the entire ecological environment related to the alien, the history of birth, related civilizations and artistic characteristics, etc. Simply put, it did not fall from the sky out of thin air, but was born and nurtured from a system."

"What does this have to do with the bardo realm we are facing?" I asked.

Li Damin sat opposite, his eyes shining, and talked freely: "From this incident, I began to think that the bardo realm is actually a world, a large system civilization. Its position in human life, its role, its relationship with other intelligent lives, and how other lives understand it... The more detailed we consider these settings, the more we can touch its deepest essence. It is not just a scene, nor just a "weird" to describe it. It has to expand deep and horizontally. This is what I call alien aesthetics. To summarize it simply, it means that all civilizations except human civilization, including alien planets, or the underworld and the world of gods, have an aesthetic tone."

"Do you believe in aliens?" I asked.

Li Damin smiled and had a bit of a master's style. He tapped his temple with his hands: "I only believe in logic. If it makes sense, the theory has no flaws or contradictions. If you say that humans are transformed by crickets, I believe it too."

"What's the use of studying this?" I scoffed, thinking that his sword was going in a different way and that he was thinking too far.

"What's the use?!" Li Damin snorted twice: "I'll give you an example. It's like Japanese cultural aesthetics. It not only has Bushido, but also covers many things, Shintoism, worship of the emperor, samurai, chrysanthemum and swords, ancient myths such as Miami God and Abe Jingaki, and even include Go, music, courtyard style, temples, etc. You understand. We can now derive its aesthetic tone from the bardo environment we master, and then use theory to guide our practice, to fill in the gaps in our cognition and find the rules."

I was a little surprised and couldn't help but admire: "The methodology you mentioned is actually very scientific."

"Of course." Li Damin said: "And did you find out that Lin Cong, you have entered the bardo realm several times, and you can hear it when you see it inside. Do you have such intuition? When you enter a strange place, you will immediately feel that this is not the world of the world, but the bardo realm?"

I recalled carefully and nodded slowly: "It's true."

"Why is this?" he asked.

"Intuition?" I said: "The scenes are so weird and unreasonable."

"Think about it," Li Damin's eyes shined: "If you were an alien and had your first time traveling to Earth, no matter which country or city you went to, no matter how the architecture changed, you still have a sense of intuition, well, this is the Earth, I'm not on other planets, right?"

"Maybe." I nodded.

Li Damin said: "This is because no matter which country or nation, in terms of root, they are all people of the earth and are born in this environment. No matter how strange or unpopular it is, he is still an individual and cannot escape the aesthetic tone of the entire earth. Therefore, if we find the tone of the bardo realm, we can find the laws and secrets of its formation."

I sat there without saying anything. I was extremely shocked by Li Damin's remarks and had to think about many things carefully.

I seemed to know vaguely how to wake up Liu Yang in the empty realm.

The realm of the bardo, the underworld, and the so-called emptiness realm, actually belongs to parallel worlds. The reason why they are called "world" is that they all have a unified tone, which runs through every detail of the world...

Neither Li Damin nor I spoke, and were thinking quietly.

For the first time, I discovered that the way I understood the world in the past was too naive, and my worldview was quietly changing, and I realized how to see the essence from the phenomenon.

I came to my senses and remembered that the second volume of the intimate classic was hidden in the warehouse, so I couldn't sit still. Should I tell Li Damin about this? He and I don't have the chance to do anything, even if I am close to me.

Li Damin said: "Can you not attend the class tomorrow?"

Then I remembered that I had to go to work. The two-day weekend passed in the blink of an eye. After experiencing so many things, I am getting more and more annoyed at work from 9 to 5. I feel that being in the company, in addition to earning some money, wasting time and life. After driving Li Damin to speak, we have all come into contact with the civilization of another world.

After seeing a broader world, let us go back to work and waste our time. Looking at those faces every day is simply torture.

But then again, can it be okay if you don’t work? Not to mention anything else, my mother is still lying in the hospital. Without this input, she can’t afford the monthly medical expenses.

I sighed and said, can it be okay if I don’t go to work? I want to be comfortable.

Li Damin touched his chin, and after a long time, he sighed, saying that there was nothing he could do.

I suddenly had a plan and found an excuse to sneak out after I went to work tomorrow, and took out the book in the warehouse without knowing it.

At the moment, Li Damin and I had a meal. He kept talking about his own ideas, and I listened with relish.

In the evening, the boy bought a box of wine and came back. When we were drinking, Li Damin rubbed his hands and smiled: "I said Lin Cong, why don't you lend me the bracelet to wear?"

I suddenly woke up: "What?"

"I don't mean anything else," said Li Damin. "The bardo realm I heard you describe is so fun. I also want to go in and see what it looks like. I feel itchy and uncomfortable."

"This..." I was really embarrassed. I didn't want to lend it to him, but Li Damin helped me from beginning to end, and I worked hard without any credit. It seemed that I was not good to refuse at once.

Li Damin acted coquettishly in the alcohol and said, "I will try it once, this time if it is OK or not. Please."

The first time I saw a man acting cute, I got goose bumps all over my body, "I said, Damin, you are really willing to go out."

Li Damin laughed: "Do you borrow it or not?"

"Okay." I said, "Then try it." As soon as I pressed the button, the bracelet came down with a "pop". I handed the bracelet to him, "Try it."

Li Damin couldn't wait to put it on his wrist and threw the wine bottle: "Go! Go into the inner room, I will work hard on Wang Yue, learn from you to see if I can enter her bardo."

I began to find it interesting, just try it. I personally think that the chance of success is not high. I have reached some agreement with the psychic bracelet to be able to use it to communicate with it. This may be unique. If it only recognizes me as its master, it is not impossible.

When I arrived at the bedroom, Li Damin sat in front of Wang Yue seriously. I smelled the strong smell of alcohol from his body. I had just drunk a lot of alcohol. I hesitated and said, "Can I drink alcohol?"

"It's okay, I'm very sober." Li Damin said.

Li Damin closed his eyes and concentrated, and I whispered beside me: "Now, focus all your attention on the bracelet and focus on this bracelet."

"Yes." Li Damin said with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, I found that his aura had changed and it was hard to describe what he had become. It was like a monk who had been enlightened for many years sitting in front of him.
