1876_Reduce the sense of presence

It is different from the past, different from the common sense that is used to numbness, and is surprised by the difference. If you are surprised, you will observe and think more.

When Elder Xin disappeared, a tung tree leaf just fell to the position where Elder Xin disappeared. The people who walked by Elder Xin did not show the slightest surprise at Elder Xin's disappearance, but took a second look at the falling leaf.It seemed that to that person, it was normal for a person beside him to disappear suddenly, and he didn't need to check it more than the falling leaves.

I contacted Elder Huigu to show her the scene when Elder Xin left, and asked: "The sudden disappearance of a living person is obviously abnormal, why can it appear not abnormal?"

Elder Huigu: "You really know how to ask questions more and more. Get lost."

I was cut off from communication: "..."

Reluctantly, I went to ask my father again.

Dad forwarded the communication to Ms. Yunxia.

I:"……"

Ms. Yunxia was much more kind than those two elders, she smiled and said: "Oh, Elder Pei is really embarrassing me, my name is equivalent to the Mahayana cultivation base, which is really not the same as the monk's Mahayana cultivation base. .”

I finally got the chance to further explain the question: "I don't want to ask what is the integration into nature in the Mahayana stage, I just want to know, in the stage of low cultivation, such as mine, can the sense of existence How can it be so low? Let others not realize that I am by their side. Is it okay to operate only by spiritual power without the aid of utensils?"

Ms. Yunxia didn't hold her tongue at all, and replied, "Yes."

Me: "...specifically?"

Ms. Yunxia: "You know."

Me: "huh?"

Ms. Yunxia: "Think about it, what you have learned, and you have used it in practice, and it has been used very well."

Then, although not as simple and rude as Elder Huigu and my father, Ms. Yunxia also cut off my communication.

I have learned and used... a lot, which one are you talking about?

So remembering everything doesn't mean knowing what each memory means.When something new happens, even if I am told that the new thing is closely related to an old thing, I may not be able to correspond to it.

1877_frequency?

I thought for a while, and saw Shi Bolin walking towards me...ah, Kunlun's huge mutated fireball lotus, before I went, I was drowned in the pool of fireball lotus, breathing.When my breathing rate is the same as that of the fire ball lotus, the fire ball lotus will regard me as the same kind to a certain extent. This is true for ordinary fire ball lotuses, and the same is true for the small fire ball lotuses inside the giant mutant fire ball lotus. Even the giant mutant fire ball lotus will eventually send My big petals might have something to do with that too.

The frequency of breathing, the frequency of sword vibrations, the frequency of spiritual power fluctuations... so Elder Xin can not attract attention because he made his spiritual power consistent with the surrounding environment. It may not be exactly the same, but it has produced an extremely harmonious connection, making himself an extension of his environment.Just like when a person has seen a tree, he will no longer be surprised by the unobtrusive branches of the tree, because they are part of the tree as a whole; even some strangely shaped branches , people at most just look at it more, and don't think it shouldn't exist on the tree.

To hide a drop of water, it is better to put it in the sea; to hide a leaf, it is better to put it in the forest; so to hide a person, it is better to put him in the crowd, or let him change himself in the world. The characters in other people's perception turn into air, leaves, water droplets... When you look carefully, you are a human being, but when you are dazzled, you feel that he can resemble anything.

But what frequency did Elder Xin imitate?air?tree?land?others?Or, are different frequencies displayed in the eyes of different creatures at the same time?

Shi Bolin: "The beauty has been staring at me, is it because I am extraordinarily handsome now?"

I'm not."

Shi Bolin: "If the answer to this question is negative, shouldn't it be no answer and let me understand?"

Because I don't think you have the intelligence to understand.

Shi Bolin: "I successfully signed up to be one of the collaborators in the fortune-teller competition, but the organizer did not allow me to choose which fortune-teller to cooperate with."

Nonsense, how could it be possible to let the election, I am afraid that the fortune teller and the collaborator will not collude and cheat?The business of divination, like selling counterfeit medicines, is easy to trust.and……

"Successful registration can only mean that you have the opportunity to play as a partner," I reminded, "the number of partners in the fortune-teller competition is more than the number of participants. At least half of the successful applicants do not have the chance to get a fortune-telling every time."

1878_ Niche occupation

This kind of redundancy, on the one hand, is because sometimes in order to test the accuracy of the fortune-teller, a fortune-teller needs to perform fortune-telling on multiple people in a game; When a fortuneteller needs someone to cooperate in a competition, they will randomly draw people. The larger the base of people who can be drawn, the lower the chance of drawing people who are dedicated to helping the fortuneteller cheat or mess things up.

In addition, when a person who wants to be a cooperator signs up, the staff will first judge whether this person is looking for trouble, and if he suspects that he will not be allowed to sign up-it doesn't matter if he is killed by mistake, anyway, he wants to get it just like Shi Bolin There are a lot of people divining opportunities, and it is enough to kill a batch by mistake.

Shi Bolin: "It's okay, I believe in my luck."

Me: "Maybe luck doesn't let you play."

Shi Bolin: "Then we have to not play."

Me: "Which fortune teller do you like? Is it a monk or a mortal?"

Shi Bolin: "It's a monk, a tea cultivator."

...This is more professional and incorrect than a mortal magic stick.

In addition to the numerous professions such as sword repair, law repair, and alchemy repair, there are many niche professions in the cultivation world.Fortune tellers, Confucianism cultivators, etc., are also considered minority because of their strict requirements for qualifications. However, their long history and unbroken power have given this type of minority a reputation that is not inferior to that of many powerful professions. Sometimes you may say "I haven't really gotten along with monks of these professions", but they won't say "There is still this profession?".

Tea repair is a niche profession that is often surprised "there is still this profession".Tea Cultivation takes tea as its way, that is, the kind of tea you drink.

Tea cultivation, tea planting, tea picking, tea frying, tea drinking... use tea as an offensive and defensive weapon, and use tea to cast spells.Tea cultivator is a branch profession of planter. Many of the training methods of tea cultivator overlap with planter and formation cultivator, but because all of them are inseparable from tea, it has become a separate profession.The tea shop is also divided into black tea flow, green tea flow and so on.

There are many niche professions like tea cultivator in every era of the cultivation world. Some of them are like a refined version of a certain profession, and some are like an expanded version of a certain person's Tao.Generally speaking, niche professions have more detailed requirements for monks who practice this profession, which is not universal.

Popular professions, such as sword repair, can be practiced by almost everyone.There may be a big difference in practice. There are those who focus on one sword like the elder Tianzhuo, and those who are completely biased towards managing people like the elder brother, and those like me who are learning everything. There are all kinds of skills, but they are all swordsmen. Comprehend different ways in the same profession in different forms.Occupations with a large number of practitioners are so inclusive.

1879_ You can see clearly at the beginning

For a niche profession, the way of cultivation is limited to a small range. This is not only a kind of constraint, but also clearly guides the future path of the monks who practice this.

The path of sword repair is just because it is too inclusive, and it seems that any path can be followed, so sometimes, like me often, I don’t know what to do next; If you can find the way to go, the choice is not a problem, as long as you go on firmly.

For example, tea repair is to repair tea. When you are confused about the way forward, you can plant a tea tree to reorganize your thinking. When you make this tea into tea, drink it, and drink it, your thinking will often go smoothly.

When sword repair is confused, it is recommended to practice swords, to practice the basic sword moves over and over again, but this can not directly guide the direction, but to let oneself settle, firm, meditate, recognize oneself, and be able to be more clear after waking up. It's time to find your own future.

It can be said that popular occupations seek their own Tao while practicing, while niche occupations clarify their own Tao from the beginning, and gradually make the expected Tao a reality during practice.

I think the latter is more difficult. There are too few people who can see their end point clearly at the beginning, and most people recognize themselves while groping.

From this point of view, senior brother is very suitable for niche occupations, but to manage this category, with the ability of senior senior brother, there must be room for full display in the big sect, and with the firmness of Dao heart of senior senior brother , has reached the point where he does not need to form a group and help each other, so finding a place suitable for displaying his abilities is more helpful to him than finding a school that specializes in cultivating this small class of professions.

What's more, there is no sect in the cultivation world that specializes in cultivating management professions, which is not surprising. Think about it, if a sect is full of management expertise, who will they manage?Mutual management?And how many things can a small sect have to manage?If there is such a sect, wouldn't it be a group of managers who have all their abilities but are idle and lonely?

Cultivation sects are not like schools. If you learn skills in one school, you can go to another unit to display them. Cultivation sects must stick to one end.Even if it is a very small number of people who have betrayed one sect and are accepted by another sect, it is impossible for the sect that accepts this person to make such a guy with a dark history of betrayal become the manager of the sect.Having a dark history of betrayal means that in the future, when others get along with this person, they will stay a little extra and will not give all their trust.

Therefore, a sect whose disciples are all majoring in management has no meaning of existence, and it has no room for survival compared to the Ghoutianmen, which is unlucky because there are too many fortune tellers.
