After the superficial consciousness formed by the stimulation of the five senses by external information fades, the chaotic thinking that usually fluctuates also enters a state of calm. Whether it is a monk's cultivation of the state of concentration or a martial practitioner's cultivation of internal cultivation, the first step in meditation must be like this, and then the depth of the state of concentration can be discussed.

If it is caused by environmental stimuli or thinking activities, it can disappear with the deepening of the fixed thoughts, but what you feel is not the distracting thoughts, but the imprint in the depths of consciousness. It is not an ordinary illusion or delusion, it is not subject to the will of man, it is as immersive and irresistible as it is - it will appear naturally when the body and mind enter this state.

You Fang couldn't help but think of the last words that the strange old man said before leaving: "Although you did it cleanly last night, you also hurt your own Yuan Shen, and there were too many flaws in front of me." ”

The so-called "hurt the original spirit" may not be understood by ordinary people, but the phrase "the spirit is stimulated" can probably be understood. It may also be that the mind has been in a state of excessive tension, concentration, or anxiety during a particular event for too long, so that it has caused an effect in the depths of consciousness that is similar to an engraved state that cannot disappear. Although it has been passed or even forgotten on the surface, it can cause lasting effects and even obstacles on the person's behavior and senses.

Under normal conditions, a person's consciousness will respond correctly to external stimuli through the senses, for example, if there is no one in front of you, you will not see people. However, if the depths of consciousness itself are not calm, they may make wrong judgments and reactions, such as seeing people even though there is no one, which is the cause of many psychological problems.

Mild symptoms can often be self-regulated to eliminate the effects and bring the mind back to normal. People's self-regulation ability is related to factors such as environment, surname, education, experience, etc., and in the traditional Chinese cultural environment, people's psychological tolerance and self-regulation ability are very strong, which is obviously beyond the cultural environment of the modern West.

If you are unable to self-regulate, you need to see a psychologist, who will use comfort, transfer, catharsis, reinforcement stimulation and other means of treatment, and sometimes need to use hypnosis, suggestion and other means to enter the depths of the patient's consciousness to find the cause of the disease, and at the same time eliminate the influence of this imprint as much as possible.

Don't think that only modern psychiatrists will do this, the traditional Jianghu people also have very similar methods, and even some witches in the countryside will, since ancient times, witch doctors have the same origin, which was a kind of Jianghu art in the past, and the name is very exaggerated, called soul calling. You Fang's second uncle, Mo Shenshou, was a Jianghu Langzhong in his early years, and Zhu Youke was a tired master, although You Fang did not specialize in medicine, but he also understood the means of Jianghu Tired Soul Summoning Technique.

General psychological problems do not significantly affect a person's rational judgment, because the external environment stimulates most of them are much stronger than the illusions in the depths of consciousness, and they are usually masked. But if it is severe enough to exceed the intensity of the endogenous delusion that exceeds the response to environmental stimuli, the person's communication with the outside world will be out of control, and he will lose his normal rational judgment, in layman's terms, he is mentally ill and crazy!

There is a clear line from ordinary psychological problems to out-of-control behavior, and many people have psychological problems to a greater or lesser extent, but they are not crazy.

Mental stimulation is an indefinite thing, often at the time even I don't realize it, last night for the first time in the dark environment of the tomb robbery, the first time in his life to kill people and set fire, the spirit has been in a state of oversensitivity and tension. The strange old man said that he "hurt the Yuan Shen", You Fang didn't care at the time, and when he meditated and practiced the inner heart cultivation method before going to bed, he realized that what the old man said was true!

You Fang didn't understand the profession of a psychiatrist, and he was still ignorant of the meaning of the word "Yuanshen", but he understood the "soul summoning technique" of the Jianghu people, and combined with his own cultivation of meditation kung fu, he even speculated and guessed so much of the above.

With the symptoms of You Fang, it is not serious for ordinary people, and it will not obviously affect the ordinary life, so it is gradually forgotten in a different environment, and this experience is buried in the depths of memory. But You Fang is not exactly an ordinary person, this is in trouble, before this problem is solved, it is difficult for him to continue to cultivate the inner cultivation of the mind, which is not in line with the way of both internal and external cultivation of health and calming the nerves, the delay is too long, and the strength of the inner family is still in danger of retreating.

You Fang will also "evoke souls", if you are older with makeup, it is completely okay to pretend to be a psychiatrist to fool people with the way of rivers and lakes. But it's hard for him to fool himself, at least not in the short term. It's like a psychiatrist who is hard to modify the imprints in the depths of consciousness at will in a state of self-hypnosis. If a person can easily repair the depths of his consciousness, then he is not an ordinary psychiatrist, but a top master of mind control.

Last year, there was a news that a psychiatrist in the US [***] team suddenly went crazy one day and rushed out of the barracks and shot and killed and wounded dozens of people. (Note: Fort Hood Incident)

And You Fang didn't worry too much, it's a big deal to go back to his hometown and ask the second uncle to regulate for himself, if it doesn't work, you can also ask Mrs. Mo for help, and by the way, ask what is going on with the "Yuan Shen"? The old lady in her nineties is the local "Renrui", the elders of several uncles, and the real kung fu and various means of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes are almost omniscient.

After some cranky thoughts, You Fang pulled the quilt and fell asleep on the bed.

I was so tired that I could barely open my eyelids when my head touched the pillow, but I couldn't sleep well. As soon as I closed my eyes, there were circles of aura in the darkness that continued to appear and contract and disappear, and my body had a sense of falling, as if I was constantly falling into an abyss, and my spirit was very uneasy, and the deep exhaustion was irresistible, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

This night was full of nightmares, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember the contents, I just felt a little drowsy. You Fang is not a vicious bandit, nor is he a hero who roams the rivers and lakes, if you don't talk about martial arts and the understanding of the rivers and lakes, he is just a teenager from the countryside, drifting Yanjing in the past few years first sold discs in Zhongguancun, and later looked at the stalls for people in Panjiayuan, and the experience of the sinister rivers and lakes is still very shallow. After what happened last night, it's normal to have nightmares at night.

Waking up early and being drowsy is like not resting well, and you can't lift your spirits by doing anything, this state is often encountered by ordinary people, and it is not a big deal. However, You Fang felt very uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and since he practiced meditation and internal cultivation, he has always been energetic and sensual, and rarely feels tired and tired.

I went downstairs to have breakfast, and I felt a faint taste in my mouth, and You Fang planned to go out to practice boxing. Since the kung fu of meditation and internal cultivation cannot be practiced for the time being, it is necessary to rejuvenate the muscles and bones and run the strength, which can play a role in nourishing the mind with form, although the effect is relatively slow, but it is always useful.

There is a lotus pond park not far from the east of Cangzhou Hotel, there is a lake in the park, the lake is more than 100 meters in circumference, there is a meadow extending into the lake in the southeast corner, and there is a four-corner pavilion at the end. Surrounded by lakes on both sides, lotus leaves sway gently in early autumn, and the morning breeze blows through the air with a faint pleasant fragrance.

Xingyi boxing has five elements and twelve shapes, the five elements are called gold, wood, water, fire and earth, in the boxing method really refers to splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, horizontal five kinds of force, twelve pictograms correspond to dragons, tigers, monkeys, chickens, horses, harriers, swallows, snakes, dragons, shearwaters, eagles, bears and other twelve kinds of animals. The third uncle didn't say these things when he taught Youfang, only said that it was a crop handle, and the names were also very old-fashioned pheasant boxing, fluttering boxing, old monkey boxing, dragging python boxing, wildcat boxing, and so on.

If you look at the excitement from the layman, the routine practice is actually very simple, and the twelve-shaped boxing frame will take more than half an hour to complete the practice from beginning to end. After You Fang took the shelf, he stood quietly by the lake for a while, feeling the joy of the whole body's qi and blood, and the fatigue of the body was swept away.

But on the other hand, his spirit is still not uplifted enough, in the past, after meditating at night and practicing boxing in the morning, he would feel that his eyes were very clear, and he could not feel a trace of fatigue and drowsiness when he was full of energy, but at this moment, he always felt that there was still a little bit of not waking up, and it seemed that the impact of the Yuanshen injury would not disappear for a while.

"Young people have a good foundation and a solid shelf, and now in this world, it is rare for a person like you to practice martial arts." Suddenly, an old man's voice came from behind him.

You Fang was taken aback and immediately turned around, and there was a person standing about a foot away, it was the strange old man he met early yesterday morning. It seems that the feeling is really not as sharp as usual, although the grass by the lake can hide people's voices, but it is the first time in nearly three years that someone has been bullied so close from behind without feeling when standing on the pile.

The position of the old man is very coincidental, the left and right sides of the swimming side are lotus leaves in the lake, and behind him is the four-corner pavilion in the middle of the lake, which just intercepts his way, and he can't run away if he wants to. He had to step forward and hug his fists and say, "Senior, how did you find me?" ”

At the same time of questioning, I was also very puzzled, and I was constantly wondering in my heart, what flaws did I leave along the way, so that the old man could track it down? The old man replied: "I got up early and went to the park without anything, and I saw you practicing boxing, and I thought you expected my old man to come, so I waited here." …… Hey, why are you sweating? ”

You Fang quietly wiped the slight sweat on his forehead and explained, "I just finished practicing boxing, and the weather is a little hot. ”

The old man smiled and said: "Saying this can only fool the layman, practicing boxing is not boxing, with your skills, you won't sweat after a routine, and besides, your sweat is not right, not in the palm of your hand but in the brain, it's a cold sweat, are you afraid of my old man?" ”

You Fang had to nod and replied: "Yes, the old-timers are unfathomable, I'm really afraid, may I ask the seniors' surname?" ”

The old man raised his face slightly and said: "I am the contemporary geographer Liu Li, not a displaced exile, Wendao Liu, Li of the people of Limin, what is your name?" ”

"The traveling party, the traveling party, the direction of the party." You Fang replied very happily, this is actually his pseudonym, which is the same as the name registered in the Cangzhou Hotel yesterday, and he also has an ID card called You Fang.

The name is fake, but the document is "real". Many people may have seen the advertisement of "applying for a certificate" on a telephone pole, but most people do not know that a fake certificate can also be real. For example, Zhang San applied for an ID card named Li Si, of course the identity is fake, but the certificate may be real, depending on how it was done. (Note: You Fang's Seventh Aunt's family specializes in the business of "applying for certificates", and the details will be explained separately if they are involved later.) ）

The old man snorted: "Are you a Taoist priest or a monk of Youfang?" ”

You Fang: "Neither a Taoist priest nor a monk, but a wanderer." ”

The old man's expression was a little incomprehensible: "This name is to my appetite, but I don't see that your complexion is not very good, did you not sleep well at night?" Seeing my old man today, do you have anything you would like to ask? ”

Since he couldn't hide from this old man, of course You Fang had something to ask, so he stepped forward and said respectfully: "The senior said yesterday that I hurt the Yuan Shen, I don't understand it very well, can you ask the old man for detailed guidance?" ”

The old man seemed to have been waiting for You Fang's sentence for a long time, and waved his hand very angrily: "They are all people in the rivers and lakes, and I am willing to do it with my juniors, but if you want me to give me guidance, you have to answer a few questions from my old man first, and then talk about the answers that make me satisfied." ”

You Fang: "What do you want to ask?" ”

The old man pointed to the four-corner pavilion in the middle of the lake: "Don't stand here and talk, I'll wait for you there, I'm a little thirsty, you go to the door and buy me a bottle of water." ”

You Fang agreed and just took a step, then turned around and asked, "What brand did you buy?" ”

Old man: "Nongfu Spring." ”

You Fang bought a bottle of water, the old man sat on the railing of the pavilion and crossed Erlang's legs, took the water without drinking or unscrewing it, and shook the bottle and said, "Xiaofang, ......"

You Fang hurriedly interrupted: "Senior, let's change the name, as soon as you call Xiaofang, I remember that there is a girl in the village......"

The old man was also happy: "Then call you Little Wanderer, well, Little Wanderer is a good name, similar to Little Wanderer." …… Little wanderer, since you have done a lot of kung fu with your fists and feet, I want to ask you, why do you practice martial arts? Be serious about answering. ”

Why practice martial arts? When I was a child, I practiced martial arts just for fun, and I was interested in it, and I didn't think about it so much. When you become an adult and continue to practice, of course you will have your own thoughts - why? There are naturally many reasons, such as being able to defend yourself, not suffering losses in fights, exercising, and so on. But when you practice to this level, it's not just because of these reasons.

You Fang did not answer the question of fighting with others, making a name for himself, or answering the question of strengthening his body and defending his family and country, he said his truest feeling - enjoying life.
