Chapter 17: Continue in the dungeon
Since the scorching hell returned to the Earth Spirit Temple, the wind was as calm as when I came, and the Penglai probe showed that the wind was north-east, and the temperature was still low and not rising, maintaining the legendary four seasons of refreshing and pleasant moderation.

I had been staying in the dungeon (the prison of the Earth Spirit Temple) and naturally did not personally feel the scorching atmosphere of the scorching hell, and the owner of the Earth Spirit Hall may have a way to insulate himself from the scorching heat, and there was not a drop of sweat stains on his homely dress and small slippers.
When passing by the front hall, I happened to meet a group of cats and birds in the chase and fighting, and I even found a few round and white Mao Yu mixed in, and my sister grabbed my sister who was passing by with open arms.
"Ah, my sister is back, let's play together."
The elder sister threw the sleeping pet crow to the younger sister: "I still have business with the guests, okay, wake up Ah Kong and play together." As he spoke, he let the people go, followed by a group of crows who flapped their wings and birds and chickens and black cats with teeth and claws, and the white Mao Yu had the lowest IQ, and shot the barrage indiscriminately regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, but fortunately, the home was well defended, and none of the antique decorations were damaged.
……
"It's not so messy when I'm not at home, and Ah Kong and Ah Rin are at home." Miss Satoru explained to me.
"Don't you need to get your sister to experiment with the method I told you?"
"No, I already have a hunch that I don't need to waste time adjusting/teaching love."
It seems that Miss Jue has gained something from that chaotic clash of wills just now, and it is not in vain that she has endured a nausea vomit, but I wonder if she has found out what she needs and what I have.
"To put it bluntly, the most important thing I need is the motivation to move forward in my practice, so I don't know what I need specifically."
Huh? Didn't you say that it was good to treat the mental illness of love?
"All of this, including the healing of love, is mostly included in my practice."
I see. Yes! I didn't move my mouth to speak, which meant that I was being read minds.
"Oh? It turned out that I was reading minds. ”
Miss Jue, who was talking, had already pushed open the iron door of the dungeon and stepped inside, and Penglai also flew back to me, and I took a lot of effort to send Penglai home.
"Ah, probably because it was too smooth, we didn't react," I was still kneeling on the ground, and I didn't bother to stand up, "Is my cultivation obstacle broken through now?" To be honest, I don't have a clear understanding of my own practice, and my true vocation and essence are still orthodox magicians after all. ”
This sentence is not just a literal statement, but I am also mentally explaining a series of thoughts about the practice of magicians.
In fact, after comparing the practice of Kanako and Yakumo Murasaki, Ibaraki Kaho, Toyo Tsutoshi Miko, and Saint White Lotus, who I had a superficial understanding, I realized that the profession of magician is not a rigorous practice, because magicians have an ethereal but clear purpose: generally speaking, it is to understand what this mysterious mundane world is.
Therefore, all the actions of the magician revolve around learning and research, and the excavation and cultivation of oneself are not so important, and there is no stage summary that reflects the degree of cultivation, because that is not the purpose of the magician at all.
Even for the most out-of-the-box monsters, at least in the general direction, there are phased pronouns such as big monsters and small monsters to describe the level of cultivation of the monsters, but there has never been a similar distinction between magic envoys and official magic envoys if you eliminate the division that must exist between magic apprentices and formal magic envoys.
However, even if a magic apprentice has surpassed some of its predecessors in terms of knowledge accumulation, it can still be counted as a magic apprentice as long as it is still studying under the name of a magician, so the division between a magic apprentice and a formal magician has more of a human meaning of a student and a mentor than a basis for judging the level of cultivation.
The magician does not pay attention to personal practice, so the practice of magician does not actually have much practical significance, and the personal practice attached to the magician is more based on the deepening and enrichment of the self necessary on the basis of the study of a certain topic.
For example, my research topic is the exploration of consciousness and the creation of a consciousness, and in the process of research, I must make a systematic study and characterization of self-consciousness, otherwise I will not be able to talk about studying the general problem of consciousness, let alone creating an independent consciousness. And in the study of self-awareness, I naturally have some kind of practice, similar to what Miss White Lotus told me: the meditation and vipassana of the bhikshus when they first enter the door of practice.
But it is only similar, the research system of magicians is extensive, but it is not systematic or even chaotic when it comes to personal practice, which is also related to the indifference of most magicians to this, even if a magician sums up a set of practical methods of practice in his personal practice, it is impossible to popularize and popularize it in the society of magicians, because everyone is not interested.
The above is what I conveyed to Miss Jue in one breath in my thoughts, because the mind is actually very complex and cannot be fully expressed in words, and I do not always use words to convey my thoughts, and there are many immersive feelings that I have attached to my research and practice, and these feelings cannot be put into words.
"Is this what Miss Alice understands of the meaning of the magician?" With her eyes closed—the third eye always half-open—Miss Satoru sat in a wooden chair and read my thoughts for a few minutes, "I see, so the so-called cultivation pass is not an obstacle for magicians in most cases. ”
"Yes, because there is no need for cultivation in the first place, there is no obstacle."
"If I can look at my own practice freely, I may also be immersed in the exploration of the magician as a monster."
"Aha, everyone attaches different importance to things, I can see some clues from the attitude of professional practitioners such as Taoist priests and monks towards magic envoys, the reason why Miss Sheng Bailian is engaged in magic research is only to use some results obtained by the research of magic envoys as a means to assist in cultivation, and the real importance is still the enlightenment and practice of Buddhists."
This sentence still contains other explanations that I have made in my mind, and I have been a little interested in the fundamental practice that has been passed down by the Taoist Patriarch, because it has been helpful to my study of consciousness, just as the practice of observing Buddhists has also helped me in my study, and in the final analysis, practice is a kind of coordinated activity between consciousness and body, whether it is a practice that focuses on the mind or a practice that focuses on the body, the results may be similar in the end.
Ultimately, the above explanation is to show that I am exploring the practice in order to have a broader perspective on my magical research.
"It's a bit messy, but I can roughly understand," said Miss Satoru, "I can't tell if Miss Alice's obstacle to cultivation has been broken, only I can fully understand myself, and even mind-reading monsters can't fully understand a person." Whether you have an obstacle or not, it is no longer an obstacle, and I can safely achieve my purpose, and you will have the opportunity to show why you came underground, which is the result of everyone's joy. ”
There was no crisis in the first place.
