Chapter 226: The Nature of Cultivation
Sometimes, cultivation is a simple but addictive thing.
When you do something seriously, you often can't help but immerse yourself in it, you will be excited because of the success of the thing, and painful because of the failure of the thing.
You don't know why you're the way it is, and you may even feel fear of it, and some people may enjoy it, but most people will feel overwhelmed by it.
Why do people feel excited about a thing when they care about it, the reason is actually very simple, that is, when you care about this matter, your thinking revolves around this matter, and the slightest change in this matter will be synchronized with your emotions, your senses, emotions, and deep thinking are automatically connected with this matter, and at this moment you are not yourself, but an existence closely related to this matter, so you will feel addicted, and you will feel emotional fluctuations.
When Zhu Hongyan began to practice the secret arts, it was this feeling, looking at it word by word, and then having a deep understanding of the descriptions in it, understanding the methods, steps, and principles of cultivating the secret arts, these things are more similar to the cultivation experience summarized by the predecessors, and there is no explanation in principle, it is more of a method of cultivation, after all, the people of this world have not learned any science, they have discovered the existence of a certain cultivation secret art by coincidence since the primitive era, and continue to study and experiment in this aspect, slowly forming a complex and changeable cultivation system.
This method of cultivation is based on the inheritance of experience, which, like the axioms of science, has been verified many times before it is finally reached.
The axioms of science cannot be proven, but there are theories that have been found to be correct after countless tests, and many things are extended from axioms, so it can be said that without axioms, there is no science.
The axioms of science and the secret techniques of cultivation in this world are all the same thing. It is a kind of summary of experience, and when there is no way to prove it, it is summed up to be effective, and this is no longer the opposition or contrast between science and cultivation. Rather, it is a logical experience of observation and summary that is universally applicable to the entire universe.
Zhu Hongyan began to deeply understand the experience of this kind of cultivation, and began to imagine the situation of the people who used this method to cultivate at that time. She didn't know exactly what was going to happen.
After reading the entire cultivation secret technique, Zhu Hongyan knew that this cultivation must be gradual and gradual, at the low level, although the cultivation methods used are similar to the high-level cultivation methods, but there are also key differences, if you don't take it seriously, you may face a huge setback, she carefully memorized every detail of the exercises, and strived to make no mistakes. After all, she wants to cultivate in the future, and she doesn't want to stay here every day, if she can memorize the secret technique, she can leave here and cultivate elsewhere.
Cultivation seeks stability, and blindly pursuing luck will only hurt oneself.
Of course, Zhu Hongyan will not be blind, she has never been an impulsive person.
Regarding cultivation, she treats it with an extremely solemn attitude.
It took her a week to memorize the secret arts.
A week later, Zhu Hongyan no longer needed the hand-copied secret book, and threw the hand-copied secret book into the acid basin. Under Zhu Tianlong's gaze, it turned into a puddle of smudge.
Leaving the secret room, Zhu Hongyan returned to his room and prepared to start his first cultivation.
Before, I was simulating, trying to demonstrate in my mind. At this moment, I really started to feel a trace of tension, but this trace of tension was easily dispelled, and Zhu Hongyan's heart began to become pure.
She began to think thoughtlessly, not thinking about whether she would succeed or not. Or will it fail, success can't make her happy, failure can't make her decadent, look down on everything, and the heart can be calm.
But on the other side of the calm, there is a terrible emptiness.
Zhu Hongyan had to be careful not to let her state of mind fall into the other side, otherwise once she shook her heart and really felt that her cultivation was useless, then she might lose her initial interest and become cold and weird.
When we find that our mind is wandering, the only way is to stop and look at our original purpose and think about whether that purpose is important.
You don't need to think about whether this purpose is necessary to stick to, because the more you think about it, the more chaotic it becomes, and you may make the wrong decision.
When you think about it clearly, you can continue to make choices, many times people make mistakes, make seemingly absurd decisions, are because of a momentary impulse, when this impulse appears, you should not follow the direction of the impulse, but should go against the current, re-analyze the matter, when the probability and the sure event need you to choose, you should not pay attention to the size of the probability, but should pay attention to when you invest in the probability but face the consequences of failure and you choose the positive event to get the contrast, Don't think about the odds of success, because you're just an ordinary person, not a God-chosen child of destiny, and no one is a God-chosen child of destiny unless he really is.
Luck does not exist in fantasy, the fantasy of the person who has the fantasy will eventually be ruthlessly trampled on the moment the fantasy becomes clear, when regret and helplessness come again, there may be no chance to choose again.
Choice, look at not the size of the probability, but the comparison between failure and another way, if the cost of failure is equal to zero, you can try, otherwise, once you embark on the road of resignation, then the final outcome can only be sadness and helplessness, and after getting it, it makes you feel that you are still suffering, because you have paid too much.
Cultivation is not only the body, but also the mind.
Only when you have a strong heart, and can distinguish between right and wrong, and can also see through those hypocrisies, can you truly go on the path of cultivation, instead of indulging in a certain path, and finally waste the most precious time, and then leave with regret.
Zhu Hongyan began to cultivate, according to the description of the secret technique, the first thing was to condense the Qi Pill, but before condensing the Qi Pill, she first had to feel the existence of the Qi.
Although it is said to be qi, it is actually a special energy that this world has, this energy belongs to a kind of dark energy in the universe, which is not difficult for Su Meng's omniscient consciousness, but for Zhu Hongyan, she has no ability to consciousness, so she can only rely on her own ability to perceive.
