2616_ more courage

I originally planned to go to the secret realm immediately after meeting Elder Shan Zun, but I was overwhelmed by Elder Shan Zun's warning about demons, so I went back to Yunxia Sect to see my father.

After I stared at Dad in a daze for a few minutes, Dad said, "What's the matter?"

Me: "It's okay, I just want to see you. I think seeing you will give me more courage."

Dad: "If you regret it and don't want to go, you will return the mission and go to receive the punishment."

Me: "I have no regrets. I am wondering if I will be influenced by demons to do some things that cross the border. Killing may not be possible. I have never enjoyed the misery of others, but if I use human life layout, maybe I will."

Dad: "Using the human life layout is not necessarily a demonic method. Sometimes human life is indeed a weapon. In large-scale wars... I think you know."

I nodded: "But I just know. I used to think that as long as I don't let myself fall into the choice of life, I don't need to choose life and death, but now that I think about it, if I live long enough, how can I keep avoiding it?" All the things I don't like."

Dad: "Having to choose is different from forcing yourself to face it when you can avoid it. The latter is easier to regret, while the former is relatively easy to let go. Self-suffering is a way of cultivation, but you may not be suitable and You need to choose this way of cultivation.”

Me: "Father, do you think I can come back safely? I mean, come back from the secret realm of the gap, like coming back from the Gu pool, with a healthy mind, can I?"

Dad: "Are you afraid?"

Me: "Well, I am afraid that I will change, and I am even more afraid that my changes will lead to changes in your attitude towards me."

Dad: "People always change."

Me: "The key is which direction to change."

Dad: "What kind of attitude is that you can't accept the way we treat you?"

Me: "...disgust, hatred, disappointment, indifference."

Dad: "So what do you think, what happened, what did you do, we're going to treat you that way?"

I assumed a lot of situations in my mind, and finally I was at a loss: "I don't know, it seems, no matter what I did, unless you forget who I am, you won't treat me like that?"

Dad: "Forget? Do you know the concept of memory in the transformation stage?"

I do not know."

2617_ No matter what it looks like

Dad: "It's stronger than your memory."

Me: "Including unorganized scattered memories?"

I thought that would make Dad throw me out, but he actually smiled and answered my pointless pick-word question: "Not included, because incoherence is gone."

Me: "...meaning that you can memorize randomly, but the chaos will naturally be organized in your mind? Or is the chaos itself a form of order?"

Dad: "Both. There are more of the latter."

…Isn’t today an especially good day to ask questions?

Dad knew me thoroughly: "Are you going to ask the questions before deciding whether to enter the secret realm?"

Me: "Elder Qi Yuan gave me the ticket to the Secret Realm of the Gap, so Elder Qi thinks I can enter and exit there safely, right?"

Dad: "Security in Elder Qi's definition."

just can't die...

Me: "No matter what I become, you will still support me?"

Dad: "I thought you were self-sufficient by now?"

Me: "I don't think so."

Dad: "Well, then continue to raise it."

Satisfied, I began to harass my siblings, asking them under what circumstances they would be disgusted, hated, disappointed or ignored by me.

Old lady: "I want to ignore you right now, don't you see that I am bothering you? Are you still asking about mental problems? It seems that Pei Douxing is really going to favor the beast master."

Then you should give up and get another one quickly, there is not much time left to find an apprentice in ten years.

My brother replied to me: "What's the situation? Can't you ask some normal, practical questions? I heard that you are going to visit the secret realm? You can ask me about my experience."

Huh? "Have you been to the secret realm of the gap?"

Brother: "Your brother and I are hundreds of years old, and I am a swordsman who needs a lot of actual combat. Where have I never been to a place where I can fight?"

As a swordsman, I haven't been to many Qi training and foundation building places where I can fight.

Me: "So, what do you have to say from experience?"

Brother: "The goal is clear, fast in and fast out, don't love to fight, hide when you can, and don't care about your goal, if you see it, you don't see it."

Me: "This doesn't seem to be the process of fighting?"

2618_Systematic Earth Science

Brother: "Do you really think that going to the secret realm of the Gap is for fighting? Crazy demons and monsters, you can accumulate a little coping experience on them, but you don't need to focus on them, monsters have a little fighting value, demons... If you don’t want to kill them, help them draw a thread of death, and they will kill themselves.”

Me: "Although I seldom use it, dealing with monsters and demons is also a compulsory course? It's hard not to encounter such creatures at all. If you deal with ordinary spiritual power events every time you encounter them, Maybe it can be handled well, but it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.”

Brother: "But if you learn a whole set of coping methods for things that rarely happen, isn't it getting twice the result with half the effort? It's like dealing with evil spirits. Compared with the special methods of killing ghosts, ordinary spiritual power operation methods will be twice as effective. It consumes a lot of spiritual power, but after all, they are rarely encountered, and even if they are encountered, their cultivation level is often far lower than my own, so I can force myself, so I don’t need to think too much about skills and economy.”

Brother: "This is actually a question of cost-effectiveness. For one thing, if you don't use special techniques, it takes ten energy; The number of times is less than a hundred. Here, you can figure out how to be more cost-effective."

Me: "Two questions. First, how can you be sure that you will only encounter it less than a hundred times in a lifetime? If you are particularly unlucky, what if you encounter it [-] times? Second, if you encounter it, your own strength is only five, no Ten can be spent?"

Brother: "Just in case, you can learn a few tricks for particularly difficult situations. It's just a selection of the chapters, and you don't need to learn all of them."

Thanks for my brother's experience, I asked the elder brother: "Have you systematically learned to deal with monsters, demons and ghosts?"

Eldest brother: "I have learned."

Me: "System?"

Big Brother: "System."

Me: "A whole set?"

Big brother: "A whole set."

I told him the metaphor that my brother just said, and asked why the big brother had to learn a whole set systematically.

Big brother: "Because this is not a small probability event for me, I may encounter it ten thousand times, but I will definitely encounter it more than ten thousand times."

Me: "...Because every disciple of Yunxia Sect meets is equivalent to meeting you."

Big brother: "Yes. I can't say that my practical coping ability is very strong, but at least, when related matters are reported to me, I can formulate a theoretical plan with less consumption, greater benefits, and a higher safety factor, or I At least know where I can get such a plan in a short time."

2619_ Will return safely

Me: "Elder Huigu should also know about it?"

Eldest brother: "Of course, Elder Hui taught me a lot about this."

As a librarian, you must be knowledgeable, and as a data addict, there should be no serious gaps.

Senior Brother: "Aren't you going to ask me?"

Me: "Ask what?" Didn't I keep asking?

Eldest brother: "Under what circumstances will I loathe, hate, be disappointed or ignore you."

...What is the source of your information?Is there anything else you don't know about me?

Me: "Don't ask, I know what kind of answer you will say. You have expressed it many times, and you will not know what the situation is."

Senior brother: "Do you believe me? Don't you often think that what I say should be discounted?"

Me: "The discount for this is that if I endanger Yunxiazong, you will be cruel to me."

Eldest brother: "I don't think it's possible for a situation like 'you're endangering Yunxiazong' to happen, so there's no follow-up reaction from me."

Me: "I think so too. But you have to admit that if I do harm, that's how you react."

Big brother: "I don't think so. Disgust, hatred, disappointment or indifference, even if one day I have to kill you with my own hands, I won't have that kind of affection for you."

Me: "...I'm about to enter such a dangerous place like the secret realm of the Gap, so can't you say something auspicious?" What flag to set up, do you have any love from the same family?

Eldest brother: "Do you need it? You will definitely return safely, both physically and mentally. And I will always wait for your return in Yunxiazong. When you need me, you will definitely be able to find me, anytime."

Sounds like a town house artifact?

I then went to Zangshu Pavilion and asked Elder Huigu: "For the mission of the secret realm of the gap I accepted, did you unlock new materials for me?"

Elder Huigu: "No."

Me: "Why? It's impossible for the information in the secret realm of the gap to be the highest at the early stage of Jindan?"

Elder Huigu: "It's a task of finding someone. Do you still want to know the cause, history, and future development of the secret realm?"

Me: "There are Mahayana and God-level monsters in it?"

Elder Huigu: "Do you need it? If you encounter it, you will definitely die, and this matter will not provide you with the skills to actively avoid them. You can only pray that your luck is not too bad, and you will not attract their attention."
