I am practicing in a weird world

　He could clearly feel that he was different from the pure light in his body. He would think and consider, but the pure light in his body would not think or consider at all. It was thoughtless and worry-free and just existed there.

　"Of course, the me you have now is a false self, a fake self, just a piece of clothing borrowed from the human world. When death comes, it will be discarded and cannot exist forever.

　So compared to my true self, which can exist forever, it's fake, a false product," said Lin Lingniao.

　"They are all theoretical stuff, which feels so empty. Tell me something that I can understand. What can I do with my true self?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Do you read novels about cultivation?" Lin Lingniao suddenly asked.

　Xiao Yi's eyes showed confusion. He didn't understand why Lin Lingniao suddenly asked this. He replied, "I saw it."

　"The true self is the primordial spirit, the door to all wonders, and the foundation of all laws and techniques." Lin Lingniao said.

　"I understand this." Xiao Yi nodded.

　He then asked, "What is this black and white light that is constantly rotating around the soul?"

　"It's the consciousness." Lin Lingniao said.

　She continued, “The mind, which is our consciousness and heart, is our brain.

　From the moment of birth, living things constantly receive various information and things, including the teachings of parents, teachers, various things we see, hear, and experience, etc.

　This allows us to accumulate a lot of knowledge and information about things in our brains. This information allows us to have our own independent outlook on life, values ​​and world view. This is the consciousness.

　The consciousness has two sides, yin and yang. Yang is rational cognition and yin is emotional cognition. They are both tools for us to understand the world. They are the white light and black light of the consciousness. These two rays of light are a Tai Chi, rotating with each other endlessly and constantly giving birth to each other.

　Unlike the primordial spirit, the conscious spirit requires the body's nutrition and energy. Like our bodies, the conscious spirit cannot exist forever and will die when our bodies die."

　Xiao Yi nodded and understood what Lin Lingniao said.

　He is not a poor student and he understands modern knowledge.

　The duality of human cognition: rational cognition and emotional cognition. Humans rely on these two types of cognition to understand the world and distinguish what is credible and what is not. The focus here is "trust."

　Rational cognition is the "belief" that people generate based on rational concepts and logical reasoning. It is the awakened rational consciousness of people's clear understanding of themselves and the world.

　Volume 1: Chapter 25: Spells

　There are too many unknown things in the world. Rational cognition is like a beam of light hanging above human heads, illuminating the world around us, allowing people to see many things clearly, letting us know that this is a tree, this is concrete, this is a house, and so on.

　Sensory cognition does not rely on rationality and logic. It is a form of perception in which the human sense organs such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body "see" objects and then produce reflections in the brain. It is an instinctive reaction.

　We feel disgusted when we see ugly things, like beautiful things when we see them, and feel scared when we see animals that are bigger than ourselves. We feel like animals. This is sensory cognition.

　The "faith" of emotional cognition is different from rational cognition. The "faith" of emotional cognition is unreasonable and illogical. It is just the feeling in the heart. Some people really like cats, some people really like dogs, and some people like both. This kind of liking cannot be convinced by logic and concepts. This is emotional cognition.

　At this time, Xiao Yi thought of Lu Ren. Lu Ren and other people from the Anti-Suppression Bureau also watched the long sword, but they didn't seem to see the ruined school.

　He asked, "The security team also saw the long knife, why do I feel that they can't see the ruined school?"

　"If you haven't awakened your soul, you won't be able to see the ruined school." A puzzled look appeared on Lin Lingniao's face. He said, "Perhaps it's because you don't have enough talent and haven't gained true power. You only got some superficial power from the long sword?"

　It seems that Lin Lingniao doesn't know much about this matter.

　Xiao Yi stopped dwelling on this question and asked, "How can I acquire magic?"

　Lin Lingniao looked at Xiao Yi with surprise and said, "I don't know how to let you possess magic."

　That expression made it feel like Xiao Yi asked a very stupid question.

　"How come you don't know the spell?"

　Surprise also appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes.

　He was surprised by Lin Lingniao's answer. Lin Lingniao was able to control shadows. He guessed that Lin Lingniao should also have the ability of a crazy student and should be able to control people with words. These were all spells.

　He weighed his wallet, a look of pain on his face, and said, "Forget it.

　I owe you one, if you tell me how to master magic, I'll treat you to a feast."

　After treating Lin Lingniao to a big meal, he had to eat steamed buns next, but magic was very important, and Xiao Yi wanted to get it even if it meant eating steamed buns.

　"I really don't know how to let you possess magic." Lin Lingniao shook his head again.

　She continued, "If you accept the power of the moth, I can share my experience with you, but you accept the power of the long sword. I myself cannot understand the article called "The Secret of the Sword". I only know that copying the text will gain a page with unknown power."

　"Then how did you get your magic?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"I got it from Volume 1 of the Sichen Chronicles. Don't underestimate them, they are just a few leaves. Inside is an illusion. You can learn many things from this illusion, including spells to control shadows and people, as well as cultivation methods to transform yourself."

　After saying that, she looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Have you read the article about moths?"

　"I looked at it, but I didn't see any illusions at all. I just felt a lot of crackling sounds in my head, which made my head hurt." Xiao Yi said.

　"It seems you don't have the talent to control darkness and the mind."

　There was regret in Lin Lingniao's tone.

　"How do you cast spells?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Use the power of the soul to control the power of moths, and use the power of moths to control darkness and influence people's hearts." Lin Lingniao said.

　"The power of moths?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

　"That's the name I give to the power I possess. I got it from the strange moths in the security office, so I call it the power of the moth. It's a very strange power. It has no effect on the human body, but it has a great effect on the human mind. It can easily drive a person crazy, just like that."

　Lin Lingniao signaled with his eyes towards the bottom, where some crazy students were wandering around.

　Xiao Yi took a look at those crazy students and then looked away. He had no interest in those students.

　He stretched out his hand, and as he used his spiritual power, a beam of red and black flame suddenly burst out from his palm.

　He could do this kind of thing without Lin Lingniao teaching him, he knew how to do it instinctively.

　"Don't you know how to use magic?" Lin Lingniao said.

　"What I want is not this kind of spell, but a spell that can hit people." Xiao Yi said.

　"I don't know any spells for hitting people. There is no record of that kind of spell in Volume 1 of Si Chen Zhi." Lin Lingniao shook his head.

　Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. She said, "How about you try to control the sword with your Qi? My power looks like a swirling ball of darkness. I can control shadows by integrating the power of moths into them. Your power comes from a knife. Integrate your power into the knife and see if you can make it fly?"

　"Let me try."

　Xiao Yi took out a small tool knife from his backpack, concentrated his will, and injected the power in his hand into the knife.

　Suddenly, he felt a connection between him and the knife in his hand, as if the knife was a part of his body, but he could not move the knife like he moved his body.

　I can clearly feel it, but I can't move it, just like my muscles are weak. I need to inject strength into the knife.

　Xiao Yi concentrated his will, and the strength of his muscles instantly turned into a pure flow of energy, which was injected into the knife. Suddenly, the knife in his hand floated up and floated above his palm.

　"So handsome!"

　Lin Lingniao exclaimed in praise.

　She was filled with envy and immediately found a small piece of steel bar the size of her little finger from the gap in the ruins of the building under her feet and injected the power of the moth into it.

　Immediately, she felt a connection with the steel in her hands, but she couldn't make it float.

　She said to Xiao Yi, "I can't fly."

　"You still need strength. You have to gather the power of your body into energy flow and inject it into the steel." Xiao Yi said.

　After hearing what Xiao Yi said, Lin Lingniao injected his strength into the steel in his hand, and suddenly, the steel floated up.

　This immediately brightened her expression.

　She said, "I can also fly a sword now, let's have a competition."

　"Swords and knives have no eyes. It's very dangerous. Let's not do it." Xiao Yi shook his head.

　"Then we won't use swords, we'll use branches."

　Lin Lingniao went to the distance and picked up two slender branches, then looked at Xiao Yi with anticipation.

　"Then let's have a competition." Xiao Yi took the branch.

　"The loser must agree to one condition of the winner." Lin Lingniao said.

　"You are digging a hole for yourself." Xiao Yi said.

　"Do you want to agree?"

　Lin Lingniao looked at Xiao Yi with a smile on her face, full of confidence.

　Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Of course I agree. Why wouldn't I agree if there's an advantage?"

　"I entered this field earlier than you. I'm your senior. If you underestimate your seniors, you'll suffer."

　After Lin Lingniao finished speaking, he concentrated his will and the branch in his hand suddenly flew out like an arrow.

　He was exposed to power one day earlier than me, and he is my senior. How can I compare with him in terms of strength?

　will lose.

　Xiao Yi mobilized his strength and the branch in his hand flew out.

　In an instant, the two branches crossed each other and flew towards their targets respectively. However, because the branch of the Lin Ling Bird was launched earlier, it would hit Xiao Yi first.

　Lin Lingniao's face was full of confidence, but the next moment, confidence turned into astonishment, and then fear appeared in his eyes.

　Volume 1: Chapter 26: I can leave school, but I dare not leave

　As the branch approached, it changed in her eyes. It was no longer a branch, but a ferocious beast, an ominous beast with blood-red flames burning all over its body.

　Looking more closely, the branches seemed not to represent ferocious beasts, but countless killings and hatreds, countless murderous evil spirits. They held sharp blades, including knives, swords, guns, axes, hammers... They held all kinds of weapons that had been seen and not seen before. Their expressions were distorted, with only hatred and destruction in their eyes. They opened their fangs and mouths, roared, and rushed towards this side.

　"Kill, kill, kill!"

　"Destroy, destroy, destroy everything."

　"Kill the heavens, kill the earth, kill people until the end of the world."

　……

　Roars and roars exploded in his ears, and Lin Lingniao's eyes were full of illusions.

　The next moment, the branch hit the forest bird, then bounced off its body and fell to the ground.

　There was also a branch in front of Xiao Yi. It was the branch of the Lin Ling Bird. When the branch was about to touch Xiao Yi, it lost its strength and fell to the side.

　This sword flying doesn't seem to be very practical. Not only is the distance short, but it is also very energy-consuming.

　Xiao Yi looked at the two branches on the ground and thought.

　The farther the branch was from him, the harder it was for him to control it. Not only was it becoming increasingly difficult to transfer his body's strength to the branch, but his perception of the branch also became increasingly vague.

　By the time the branch reached the forest spirit bird, he could hardly sense the branch anymore.

　Not only that, this move is also very physically demanding. Xiao Yi now feels very tired, as if he had been moving bricks for the whole morning.

　At this time, he saw Lin Lingniao standing there, looking dazed.

　He asked, "What are you daydreaming about?"

　In front, Lin Lingniao did not react to Xiao Yi's words.

　What happened to Lin Lingniao?

　Xiao Yi showed confusion on his face. He walked forward and shook Lin Lingniao's shoulder.

　Suddenly, Lin Lingniao woke up. She blinked and her eyes regained their spirit.

　"What happened to you just now? You didn't respond when I called you." Xiao Yi asked.

　"Just now, when I saw the branch you were flying towards me, it seemed like it was not a branch, but a ferocious beast full of destructive will. What was that?" Lin Lingniao asked.

　Just now, she was shocked by the horrifying illusion and it took her a while to recover.

　"Ferocious beast?" Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't have that thing. Lu Ren did say that he and the security team members all have ferocious beasts in their bodies."

　"It might not be appropriate to call it a ferocious beast. It is an extremely ominous force, filled with the spiritual power of killing, hatred, and so on."

　Lin Lingniao described her feelings.

　Xiao Yi understood, and said, "That should be the power of conflict, the power within the long sword.

　Although the title of the book is "The Secret of the Knife", it actually has nothing to do with sword forging. The whole book is about disputes.

　The knife isn't really a knife, it's a metaphor, referring to killing and war. Because killing requires a knife, it's used to represent conflict. What you see should be an illusion created by the power of conflict."

　He asked, "Did the power of discord hurt you?"
