04240-Thinking without learning is perilous

Me: "You can watch it whenever you want. However, please try not to show it to others, because Elder Gao really doesn't like to be disturbed, and the more people see it, the harder it is to control whether there is something that can disturb you." Elder Gao."

Duan Yanzhou: "Yes. Well, have you obtained what you need from my spiritual power change?"

Me: "Don't worry, I won't let myself suffer, the value of what I give you will definitely not be lower than what I get from you."

Duan Yanzhou: "Then what about the Xiao Nao you gave me before I was born? Xiao Nao is this shrub."

Me: "Watching a child be born is a reward. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many people watching when Xie Qinwei lays eggs? Everyone has gained something from the production process. Compared with the harvest of material things, non-material things The real ones are often more precious, because the real ones may be lost, while the non-real ones can be directly integrated into the cultivator’s practice, and even accompany the monk’s life.”

Me: "It's hard for me to explain to you what I got from you now, you can write it down first, and later, if you choose to practice, you will understand one day."

Duan Yanzhou: "I want to practice."

Me: "This decision may not be easy to make now, because you have not even experienced what it is like to live a life without practicing."

Duan Yanzhou seemed to have some well-formed ideas suitable for refuting me, but he couldn't express them in words, and his whole face wrinkled in anxiety.

Let me do it for you: "You can refute it like this: Whether you practice or not, life is about doing what you need and like. Practice can reduce the proportion of 'have to do' events, allowing people to have more time to do what they like. So , Practice makes life better, so if you can practice, you should practice.”

Duan Yanzhou looked at me like a stare.

Me: "You can't even understand this? Well, stop chattering, I'll still teach you about spiritual roots."

Duan Yanzhou: "I, I understand something."

Me: "Well, good, come on."

Duan Yanzhou: "..."

Min Lun smiled and started practicing sword again.

I said to Min Lun: "I think your expression is richer now than before."

Min Lun: "Because I feel more relaxed now than before. Although I was able to walk firmly before, I was uneasy about where the road ahead would lead. I used high-intensity training to minimize the time I was uneasy. It's less likely to be easy, and now that I see the road is getting better, I have a lot more confidence even though the road is still unclear."

I said to Duan Yanzhou: "Look, this is a normal conversation."

Min Lun: "Why do you always bully him? At his age, it's pretty good to be able to talk with us to this level. He can't understand a lot of words just because he has limited time to study, which is an objective limit and should not be despised .”

Me: "I don't despise, I just pointed out this objective limitation to him, and then taught him that if he wants to participate in other people's topics, he has to study hard, read more books, and think more, especially the former. almost."

Me: "Without enough knowledge accumulation, no matter how much you think, it's just fantasy. Duan Yanzhou, in fact, many of your doubts have been experienced by predecessors, and they have given their own answers. Instead of suffering and melancholy, It’s better to read more books, learn other people’s answers, and then find your own answers.”

04241 - is a monk

Me: "There are a lot of idle books on the first floor of Zangshu Pavilion. They are not as dry as textbooks. They may be a little insight from the seniors, or they may be fanciful stories of graffiti. They have no cultivation requirements for readers, and it is not clear what they can do." I can’t give you advice, but with your current cultivation base, you can only see those, and they are safe for you, so you might as well first understand all the safety you can touch.”

Duan Yanzhou: "Among the things you told me, are there some that are not safe for me?"

Me: "Hey, you answered this sentence well. Yes, there are some insecurities. In fact, the ups and downs of your spiritual power have already warned you of this. The absolute safety should be to keep your spiritual power calm, but To progress quickly, you often have to take risks."

Me: "Are you willing to take the risk? I can guarantee that you will not die or suffer incurable injuries. Oh, I mean physical and spiritual injuries, hidden dangers such as demons, which I cannot control. "

Duan Yanzhou: "I want to make rapid progress and not drag my parents down."

Me: "I think too much. What kind of burden are you to your parents? Just because you can't improve your cultivation speed? That's something you need to worry about yourself. Your parents worry about you for the past few years at most. When you become an adult, They may not remember thinking about you."

Me: "Cultivators are sometimes very ruthless, because we believe in cultivation and ourselves, and believe that if a monk has a bad life, it is mostly his own problem."

Me: "What's wrong with the four spiritual roots? The four spiritual roots are enough to enter the foundation. Once the foundation is established, you are a serious monk, and you should be required by the monk's standard. Be self-reliant, self-reliant, self-respecting, and self-love. You are a monk, and you should be able to protect yourself. .”

Duan Yanzhou: "...Yes."

Me: "Okay, let's continue to talk about things that can cause violent fluctuations in your spiritual power."

……

Duan Yanzhou worked very hard to keep up with what I said, and I also tried very hard to talk about topics that would easily excite him, but after all, children can think and understand too little, and I have too much grasp of people's hearts. As a layman, within half a year, no matter what I say, Duan Yanzhou's spiritual power has not fluctuated.

You know, in the past six months, half of the sleep time has to be removed, and a quarter has to be removed after eating, drinking, and exercising, and finally only a quarter is left, that is, I can only say six to him every day. Hours, and interrupted by various things from time to time.

04242-no rush

Duan Yanzhou: "You can also talk when I eat."

Me: "Don't make trouble, concentrate on eating when you eat, your current digestive system has not been fully protected by spiritual power, and distraction can easily cause indigestion and affect physical development. See how important cultivation is? After the foundation building period, digestion Bad... If you eat spiritual food without restraint, you will still suffer from indigestion."

Pei Bing pretended not to hear.

Me: "But to be sure, after a high level of cultivation, the body will be much stronger, able to withstand tossing, and can do many things more unscrupulously, and will be more free. For example, even if you still have to eat so much every day, but You don’t need to spend so much time on a regular basis for every meal.”

Me: "Bigudan can completely solve the food problem during the foundation building period, but you can't. Although Bigudan can meet your nutritional needs, but long-term consumption of Bigudan will degrade your digestive system, and you will not have the spiritual power to form." system to maintain your body structure."

Duan Yanzhou: "The top priority is to build the foundation."

Me: "There is no rush. There is no rush for your cultivation, nor for your physical development. A child's body needs to grow to maturity under natural conditions. Try to figure out this change, don't let it stagnate, and you will learn a lot from it."

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "Second Young Master, didn't you say at the beginning that you would only borrow my son for two days? As a result, you stopped talking after borrowing for half a year. After half a year, my son's heart is still on you."

It's normal for my heart to be on me. Since I made my public appearance in the Suoxianzong Fortune Teller Competition, countless people all over the world have put their hearts on me for more than ten years.

Me: "'Two days' is a false finger."

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "Go, who is talking to you. I want to say, thank you. Xiao Zhou's mood is much better, and his mind is obviously not as heavy as before."

Me: "It's normal. If you had opened up the matter and told him earlier, he would have figured it out. He was sad just because he took things too seriously and scared himself."

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "We told him that the four spiritual roots also have a way out."

Me: "But what you said made him feel that that way out is a second option, a compromise after last resort, not the best choice."

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "..."

Me: "Even you think so."

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "Yes, that's what we think too. If you can't get into the top ten, we think it's the second class for monks. Even if you keep Xiao Zhou in Yunxia Sect for the sake of me and Duan Zhe, He can't keep up with the cultivation speed of his peers, which is also torture for him."

04243-Don't lie to yourself

Me: "Who said that he must not be able to enter the top ten? And who said that if he wants to enter the top ten, he can only enter the Yunxia sect through the back door?"

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "...Second Young Master, what does this mean?"

Me: "I can't tell right now, but I'll see, maybe there will be surprises. But you don't have to expect too much, because maybe, he just won't make it into the top ten."

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "Hey, what I said is that we don't ask him to enter the top ten, as long as he is happy. Every time he is unhappy, I feel guilty, guilty of not giving him a good talent .”

I give?"

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "..."

Me: "Isn't natural spiritual root a matter of luck? How to give it?"

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "I... didn't mean that."

Me: "So what do you mean?"

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "...It doesn't mean anything. It's just a mother's protective psychology for her child."

Me: "Oh."

Senior Sister Yan Gui: "..."

Duan Yanzhou asked me: "How did you know Xie Jingyi's spiritual root in advance?" Xie Jingyi is the son of Xie Qinwei and Yuan Jing.

Me: "It took half a year to ask, aren't you uncomfortable?"

Duan Yanzhou: "It's not holding back, although I really wanted to ask a long time ago, but I don't think I can understand even if I ask, even if you explain."

Me: "Why did you bet on my answer?"

Duan Yanzhou: "It's a blessing. If Xie Jingyi is the kind of spiritual root you estimated, he won't be as uncomfortable as I used to be."

Me: "Is it the first reaction to want to bless, or the first reaction to hope that his conditions are worse than yours, so that you can gain some psychological comfort in the comparison, and then reflect on this kind of thinking is too dark, and then deliberately give blessings? "
