Chapter 17: Mental Power

He didn't have to speak, as soon as a thought came out of his heart, the light spell began to sound in the bottom of his heart, slowly extending and echoing around him, and gradually his whole body began to resonate, and he couldn't tell whether it was his mouth reciting it again, or the voice echoing in his own heart, but it felt that he was chanting these incantations with his whole body and mind. Let him have a very comfortable and transparent feeling inside and out!

This feeling gradually warmed his whole body, as if every pore had been tickled, and he couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan, like a dragon's groan. This sound was not an ordinary lip, tooth and mouthpiece resonance, but when his spell vibrated his whole body, his body and mind gradually dissolved, and he didn't realize it.

The dervish was alarmed by the sound of the dragon's groan, and hurriedly found a place to put Lu Zheng down, but saw Lu Zheng in the middle of the back, his eyes were lightly closed, and he was constantly moaning, echoing around him, lingering. The dervishes stared at him, not daring to be alarmed, and their eyes showed great surprise.

After a while, Lu Zheng finally put an end to this low moan, slowly opened his eyes, and let out a moan: "It's so comfortable!" Suddenly he saw the great monk staring at him, and he didn't know when he had been put on the ground by the great monk. So he asked, "Great monk, have you come to a resting place?"

The ascetic didn't answer, his face was solemn, and he asked, "Little donor, you have to tell me honestly about the poor monk, what is wrong with your body recently?"

Hey, could it be that the great monk discovered something, Lu Zheng's face was slightly red, he scratched his head a little embarrassed, and told all the abnormalities that had happened in his eyes and ears in the past few days, of course he didn't dare to say his guess, and asked tentatively: "Great monk, my eyes and ears will change like this, is it because of the spell!"

He asked this, expecting the dervishes to answer in the affirmative, and then complimented him and offered to take him as an apprentice. Unexpectedly, when the dervishes heard the detailed situation, they were taken aback, and their faces became more serious than ever, and they said, "Little benefactor, the changes in your eyes and ears are not the effect of holding a mantra. The mantra of light and the mantra of pure mind are to cultivate the bodhi mind, and there is no such function, otherwise the poor monk would not have to travel thousands of miles to take you to seek medical treatment. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zheng was stunned, he had thought wrongly, and only then came back to his senses after a long time, and said: "Ah, isn't it because of the spell, then I didn't think about it completely...... That great monk, how can my eyes and ears become like this, sometimes good and sometimes bad?"

The ascetic stopped talking, lowered his head and pondered for a while, pointed to a big rock on the opposite hill, and asked, "Little donor, you first answer a question from the poor monk, what is on that big stone, can you see it?"

The place where the two of them are located is a side by side peak, and there are two peaks on the same mountain, about a hundred zhang apart, and it is impossible for ordinary people to see clearly. But Lu Zheng looked over, locked his eyes on the big rock, swept up and down, then withdrew his gaze, and said: "Great monk, there is a team of ants moving on it, I counted it, there are about sixty or so, but they are still crawling in a steady stream!"

The dervish frowned, and suddenly pulled up Lu Zheng and jumped, Lu Zhengshang didn't have time to exclaim, only to see the ascetic wave his sleeves in mid-air, and Lu Zhengjue had a huge pulling force rolled up, sending the two of them firmly to the big rock. As soon as he landed, Lu Zheng looked back at the place, and he was surprised and excited to be so empty.

"Little donor, take a look again, do you see the ants just now?" asked the dervishe, who was jumping over a hill with Lu Lu pulling in to see the ants.

Lu Zheng was strange in his heart, he didn't know the ascetic's intentions, but he still looked around on the big rock, and the strange thing was that the ants he saw on the opposite side just now didn't even see one.

The dervish said, "Well, there is not a single ant, right?"

Lu Zheng nodded, and said suspiciously: "I obviously saw a ...... just now."

The ascetic waved his hand and interrupted, "Let's go back first!"

Lu Zheng couldn't wait to ask: "Great monk, I saw a lot of ants just now, why are they gone, can those ants fly?"

The dervish sighed and said, "Because there are no ants there?" everything you see is an illusion!"

These words startled Lu Zheng: "Hallucination, how is this possible? I obviously ......" He wanted to say that he was clearly seeing it, but just now he clearly saw a pair of ants, so the great monk specially took him to jump over the mountain to see, but he couldn't find a single ant, so he couldn't say it.

The dervish looked at Lu Zheng, knowing what he was thinking, and his eyes showed a soft meaning, and he said: "The abnormalities you just said about your body are actually hallucinations caused by poisoning, not the effect of holding a spell. The poor monk asks you, is it that every time your eyesight and ears are abnormal, you see and hear too much, and you unconsciously fall asleep?"

Lu Zheng nodded.

The ascetic said: "That's right, because this kind of illusion is the most draining, and you will naturally fall asleep when you feel tired." He looked at Lu Zheng still with a confused expression, so he continued to explain, "You must still be doubting, you can see clearly, how can it be an illusion." For example, if you see something, hear something, or even catch something in a dream, you must think it is very real, but when you wake up, you will find that everything is fake, not that you really saw, heard, or grasped, but that you imagined it yourself. ”

Lu Zheng couldn't help but say: "Great monk, are you saying that what I saw and heard was all thought up by myself, and I was daydreaming?"

The ascetic said: "This metaphor is not accurate, although people in the world always have fantasies and love to daydream, but in that daydream, it is impossible to do this like you to the slightest, extremely realistic, and even make you unable to distinguish the true from the false." ”

Lu Zheng said a little frustratedly: "Yes, I thought I could really see so far and hear those small voices!"

The ascetic said, "There are all kinds of Dharma births in the heart. If you want to talk about illusion, there is truth in it. What you see and hear is not simply a simple imagination, but the power of your mind is making up for the lack of what you see, hear, and feel!"

Lu Zheng couldn't understand what it meant to use the power of the mind to make up for the lack of seeing, hearing, and touching, and asked, "The power of the mind?"

The ascetic smiled and asked, "Little donor, have you ever dreamed of eating chicken legs?"

"Of course, I've seen it in my dreams, Brother Jiu and I love to eat chicken legs the most, but we can't eat them, so we often eat them in our dreams!" Lu Zheng didn't know why the dervishes suddenly asked about this.

The ascetic said, "This is what your mind is making up for the lack of your sight, hearing, and feeling! If you want to eat and you can't eat it, your heart will imagine what it will be like to eat chicken legs." In the same way, what you want to see and what you can't hear, your mind will do it through your imagination! And all this is inseparable from reality, for example, if you never knew that there were chicken legs, you would not imagine chicken legs, so there is the truth of the mind. This thought is powerful and can create illusions, so it is called mental power."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengcai seemed to understand a little, what the ascetic meant was that what he saw and heard was like the taste of chicken legs in his imagination, and he wanted to see and listen to it, and as a result, he created such an illusion from his own heart. If he said that, he remembered that the first time he saw the colorful insect clearly, he only saw it clearly, and then he saw it. Then I wanted to see the mountain again, and the whole mountain came flooding in.

At this time, the dervishew said, "Actually, it is very easy to prove that what you have seen and heard is an illusion." ”

Lu Zheng asked, "How can you prove it?"

The dervish exclaimed, "It is impossible for a man to imagine something he has not seen! For example, if you see an ant moving, think about it carefully, where have you seen it?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a lightning bolt in the night, Lu Zheng suddenly remembered, isn't it, the ant moving was clearly what he saw in the corner of the City God's Temple, and he counted it at that time, it was about sixty, and he was about to count down, but he was interrupted by Tang Xiaojiu's teasing. Not only that, but also the veins of the leaves and the lines of the insects, all of which he had been bored with and carefully identified in the sun, were all ridiculed by Tang Xiaojiu one by one.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng finally had to admit: "Great monk, I remembered, it is true that I have seen it before." It's really my hallucination, so what should I do?"

The dervish nodded and said, "Little benefactor, every time you enter this illusion, does it make you feel extremely tired? You must not do this again, in the future, if you don't see or listen to such an illusion realm, your mind will be destroyed, and all kinds of laws will be extinguished, and the illusion will naturally disperse. If you indulge in it, it will cause your vitality to be depleted, and you will even break through the seal of the poor monk in your meridians in advance, accelerating the onset of yin poison, and you will be in danger of your life. ”

Using the power of the mind to create an illusion requires the consumption of mana, and Lu Zheng is a mortal naturally has no mana, so what is consumed is his own vitality. After a long time, it will inevitably lead to the dissipation of vitality and the extinction of vitality, and people will also suffer from premature aging and even death due to the exhaustion of vitality, not to mention that Lu Zheng is still plagued by yin and poison.

Lu Zheng saw that the great monk said extremely solemnly, realized the seriousness of the matter, and nodded dumbly. Originally, I thought so haode, but it turned out to be my own hallucination, and I stupidly thought that the great monk was going to accept him as an apprentice, who would want such a stupid person to be an apprentice!

He thought so in his heart, and for a moment his surprise and excitement disappeared, and the whole person was depressed. If you think about it carefully, it's not uncommon to be able to see far and hear subtlely, and it can be used to fight monsters? At most, you can see monsters from a distance and run away early. What's more, it's just his own illusion, thinking of this, Lu Zheng is even more disheartened.

It turned out that when the dervishes heard Lu Zheng's dragon groan, they knew that something was wrong. Because it was not a dragon chant at all, but an illusion in Lu Zheng's mind, which was perceived by the ascetic's mind, so that the ascetic could hear the sound of the dragon groan, and at the same time perceived that Lu Zheng was wrong. And just when Lu Zheng told the ascetic about his abnormalities in his eyesight and hearing, the first thought that came to the ascetic's heart was - a little supernatural power!
