Chapter 123 Memory Palace
"Is this the feeling of opening up the meridians?"
I don’t know how long it took, but Wen Yiming slowly opened his eyes and saw many greasy black stains on his skin, which were smelly and fishy, which was disgusting.
Go to take a shower again quickly. It should be to eliminate the original toxins and look at yourself in the mirror. The skin becomes more delicate and smooth, as if it has been treated with beauty.
The whole body is full of energy, and both strength and feeling are greatly improved, especially the sense of smell, which is obviously more sensitive, allowing him to understand the world more deeply.
"So it can really evolve!"
Wen Yiming slowly adapted to the new changes brought by his body and was very happy. No wonder Liu Datong has the power beyond ordinary people. It is all the result of opening up the meridians and developing potential.
Since ancient times, how to develop human potential has been an eternal theme. Three thousand methods, all living beings always have a suitable one for themselves. For Liu Datong, it may be to practice Tongbingquan, use martial arts to strengthen blood and qi, and open up meridians.
But the incense path is obviously higher. As long as you have the best qualities of qi and fragrance, you can enjoy the process of scenting and scenting, and sit at the same time to nourish your blood and qi and open up your meridians. No wonder the emperor and nobles flock to you. Who doesn’t like it?
Liu Datong has only opened three meridians for twenty or thirty years of practicing and became a C-level treasure hunter. Wen Yiming has opened two of them in less than half a year after entering the Tao. If the other party knows, he will definitely be pissed to death!
Of course, Wen Yiming is not an opponent, and his actual combat ability cannot be compared. However, he is not interested in martial arts, just be healthy, and improving his sense of smell is the king.
After struggling all night, the sky was white. He packed up and went out for a run. His body was as light as a swallow, and his wind was everywhere, and his physical fitness improved several times.
When he got home and picked up the information, he saw ten lines at a glance, and basically never forget it. Originally, his memory was good, but now he was better. Not only incense, antiques, Feng Shui, food, wine, and even worms were all the knowledge he needed to learn and understand.
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is the goal that Wen Yiming pursues throughout his life!
“What better way to remember?”
Wen Yiming closed the book and could analyze all the ingredients with a super-smelling sense, which required himself to have a deeper and larger theoretical accumulation! During this period, he contacted many local tyrants and found that they each had their own specialties. Whether it was Hu Jianmin's calligraphy and red wine, or Yan Sihai's tea ceremony purple clay, if you want to conquer others, the best way to win professional recognition.
"By the way, Ling Tiancheng seems to have a good memory!"
Suddenly I remembered someone, Ling Tiancheng, who knew the auction items carefully every time, regardless of the origin or price, and even the year and time of the auction. This is definitely not accidental.
Wen Yiming picked up the phone and called Ling Tiancheng. The other party asked him to go to the company directly and just happened to have breakfast together.
"Oh? Do you want to improve your memory?"
Ling Tiancheng put down his chopsticks, looked at Wen Yiming and said curiously: "To me, there is no knowledge you don't understand, right?"
"Learning is endless. The more you learn, the more you feel that your ability is limited. The so-called art does not suppress your body, isn't it wrong to learn more?"
Wen Yiming wiped his mouth and smiled and said, "I think Uncle Ling, you have a good memory. You know so many auctions every year. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Is there a secret?"
"Hahaha, I love to hear these words!" Ling Tiancheng laughed happily and said proudly: "If you say that your eyesight is not very talented, you can't compare to Yu Xin's spirit, but if you want to say that your memory is, I am no less than anyone else!"
"Have you ever heard of the Memory Palace?"
Wen Yiming stood up, the key point came to his mind, and said in thought: "It seems that he has heard of it. It should be a special memory method?"
"The Palace of Memory, also known as "The Records of the West", is a book that introduces how Matteo Ricci himself can have the ability to remember everything he has."
Ling Tiancheng sat on the sofa and introduced: "What is the palace of memory? You must know that Westerners have a strong rational spirit, so they believe that "memorizing in the order of things is usually extremely simple." In this way, storing memory is what Matteo Ricci said, "using the image of the original object and the image of the ability, they settle in various places in turn."
"For example, the eight-time world memory champion dominic o’ brien, who can remember the order of 2,808 playing cards on 54 tables, and only watch each card once, is through the use of the Memory Palace method and its variations."
"In the novel "Hannibal", serial killer Hannibal used the memory palace to store extremely vivid memories of complex medical records for a long time."
Wen Yiming didn't know that the Memory Palace was so magical, so he asked curiously: "How can we build the Memory Palace?"
Ling Tiancheng closed his eyes, simulated the scene with his hands, and whispered: "First of all, you need to choose a very familiar place. It depends on your ability to easily reproduce this place in your mind and stroll in it. You must be able to be in the scene with just your spiritual eyes."
"For example, a better initial choice could be your home. Remember, the more vivid the details you reappear in this place, the more efficient you can remember it."
Wen Yiming also closed his eyes and began to learn how to build a palace under Ling Tiancheng's guidance.
"Try to determine a special route in your palace, rather than just recreating a still scene. That is, imagine doing a detailed tour of your home instead of simply image your home. Make as many items as possible come alive and record them from a dynamic perspective."
"Now you need to pay attention to the obvious features in the selected place. If you choose to patrol your home, the gate should be the first feature to attract attention."
"Continue to do a virtual walk in your memory palace, what's in the first room after entering the door?"
While guiding, Ling Tiancheng simulated the opening door with his hands and entered the room, and observed from left to right: "Then systematically break down the room, you need to determine a standard procedure, such as always seeing the right from left to right. What is the next feature that attracts your attention? It can be a table in the middle of the restaurant, or a painting on the wall."
"While walking, keep recording other features in your mind, each of them will become a memory slot, which is what you can use to store specific information next."
Ling Tiancheng opened his eyes and patted Wen Yiming and said, "There is a trick here. You'd better follow the route and repeat it loudly when you see those obvious features. Or write down the selected features on paper, patrol them in your mind, and repeat it loudly to strengthen memory."
"Like most memory enhancements, the memory palace works through visual associations. The process is simple: you choose a known image—called a memory hook—to combine it with the elements you want to remember. For us, a memory hook is a distinct feature in our memory palace."
"The more crazy, funny, annoying, unusual, extraordinary, vivid, absurd impressions are the easiest to remember!"
Ling Tiancheng concluded: "Try to make the scene unique and will never happen in real life. The only rule of memory palace: boredom is wrong!"
"How much can Uncle Ling remember now?"
Ling Tiancheng looked at Wen Yiming's curious expression and smiled: "I can remember all the books and materials I have read, and I can't make any mistakes. Because I have a huge bookshelf that can store any books I need."
“I can remember the names and general traits of all the clients I’ve dealt with, and even preferences and personality traits.”
