Chapter Eighty-Nine: Who Am I?
Instead of going home with Ryder, Peake walked to the church alone.
In this special time, the doors of the church are left open, as if they were ...... It's like waiting for him to come.
The gatekeeper did not stay at the door and did not know where he went.
As far as he could remember, he walked around the main nave of the church, into a garden, and through a verandah crawling with vine-like plants.
In front of him, under the starlight, several bamboo buildings appeared, the main body of the bamboo building was not high, and he could see from the outside that one of the bamboo buildings was lit up.
It was the bedroom where Pastor Theon was.
He walked slowly up the stairs to the second floor, only to find the door ajar, and the faint candlelight peeked through the crack in the door, which seemed to have been specially created for his arrival.
After a moment of silence, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Here it is! Here he is again!" the colorful parrot jumped up and screamed in the cage.
Seeing the parrot, Peake suddenly thought of Agares......
The old priest sat on the bed, put down the white paper in his hand, and "looked" sideways at Peake.
The image was very strange, because the old priest's eyes were still wrapped in gauze, but Peake felt his gaze fall on him. Moreover, the old priest has gauze wrapped around his eyes, how does he read a book?
"You're here. The old priest was not surprised at all, as if he knew it in advance, only to see him stretch out a hand, and his voice was calm and distant: "Come here." ”
Peake looked at the hand like a dead branch, but without any hesitation, he walked over and gently held it on that hand.
The old priest obviously couldn't see it, but he knew that it was him!
There was no feeling of confusion as Zhu Tian said, and there was no sign of flying, he just felt a slight chill coming from the thin palm.
His hands were so cold, and Peake began to feel a little pity for the old priest, who had lived alone in this bamboo building for I don't know how many years, and the only thing he seemed to be accompanied by was the colorful school bird......
"Sure enough, it's you, kid. After the old priest shook Pique's hand, it seemed that Pique's identity was reconfirmed, and it seemed that when Pique first walked in, the old priest should have only guessed. "You may have been waiting for me to trigger your psychic powers, but I can't do it now. The last time we met, I had already taught you most of my spiritual powers! This time, I'm going to teach you how to use them. ”
"Mental power...... Taught it all to me?" Peake blinked.
Peake had a lot of questions in his mind, and he wondered if mental power was unique to pastors, why did he teach it to me, did he want me to take over his work?
"Yes, yes, to be exact, it was taught to you. The old priest gently shook Pique's hand, then slowly clenched, "Do you feel the strength? ”
"Strength?" Peake watched the old priest's movements suspiciously, only to feel that the power coming from his hands could only be described as insignificant.
"It's light, isn't it? I only have that much power. The old priest laughed at himself, and the deep wrinkles on his face slowly gathered together, but he looked extremely peaceful. "Spiritual power is also a kind of power, but spiritual power doesn't need to be transmitted through any means, do you understand?"
"You don't have to go through any means?" Pique, of course, didn't understand.
"For example, just now I held your hand and then pressed it so that you could feel my power. Or, I take a stick and hit you on top of you, and then you will feel the power coming from the stick. In other words, the transmission of power requires the help of matter. ”
("Medium!" What the old priest said means is that the transmission of energy requires a medium!) Zhu Tian's voice suddenly sounded in Pique's mind, and he seemed a little excited, as if he was very interested in this aspect of things. "Peake, listen carefully to what he says! he's teaching you supernatural powers!")
Medium?supernatural?
For a while, Pique was even more blindsided......
The old priest continued: "And spiritual power is not needed, it can blend into the air, into water droplets, and if your spiritual power is strong enough, you may also use spiritual power to pass through the wall. Once you have mastered your mental power, you will be able to use your arms to trigger your mental power and perceive everything around you.
It's a long process, and there are many people who don't like it and waste their talents. But you are different, you have two souls, when one soul controls the body, the other soul can rely on meditation to improve mental power, this is something that many ordinary people can't do, if you are diligent enough, both souls take the initiative to improve mental power, then there may be unexpected effects. ”
Peake's head was completely dizzy after hearing so much, but he understood one thing, and that was that the old priest knew that he had two souls. "I still don't understand, but how do you know I have two souls? ”
"That kid should be called Zhu Tian, and he asked me the same question. The old priest pondered for a moment and said, "When you learn to use spiritual power, you will naturally know." ”
Peake asked, "Why should I learn to use psychic power?"
"Because you just promised Hasja to drive away the horse thieves. The old priest smiled peacefully, as if he had discovered something interesting, and suddenly became interested. "You may wonder why I know about you and Haysjia, the answer to this question is the same as the previous question, and when you learn to use mental power, you will naturally know. ”
It is said that the old priest can predict many things, but when Peake feels it firsthand, he can't help but be shocked. Did he know everything he said to Haysja, or maybe he knew everything that was going on in the town of Peace, or maybe he knew everything that was going on in the whole kingdom or even the whole continent......
("Don't ask that nonsense!") Zhu Tian finally got impatient, urged Pique, and said, "Just ask him how to use his mental power!")
"How do you use mental power?"
At this time, the old priest was silent, and sat motionless on the bed.
"Reverend Theon, you?" A few breaths passed, and Pastor Theon sat motionless, and just when Peake thought he was asleep, he finally spoke again.
"Kid, close your eyes. The old priest's mouth didn't move, but Peake heard him! There was no one else in the room, or Peake would have thought someone was talking behind him.
"How do you speak?" Peake wondered.
This is the power of mental power, the essence of sound is that the vocal cords cause the air to vibrate, and the spiritual power can also imitate the vocal cords to vibrate the air to make sounds. ”
"I close my eyes, and then what do I?" Peake followed the old priest's words.
Then think about a question. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Who are you?"
"I ...... I'm Pique. Peake felt a little inexplicable.
"No! Peake is just your name, and the name is just a symbol, I ask, who are you?" the old priest spoke at a quicker pace.
"I ...... It's a carpenter!" Pique replied triedly.
"No, carpentry is just your profession, you may become a doctor, a blacksmith, a knight in the future, but those are professions, none of them are the real you! I am asking, who are you?"
"I'm ...... My father's son?" was denied one after another, and Peake's voice gradually became uncertain, and he thought for a long time before he thought of this answer.
"No, son, this is just an identity, you are still your grandfather's grandson, you are a friend of your friend, that is your identity, not the real you!
"Symbols, occupations, identities?" Peake wondered, "Aren't these me?"
"Yes, these are not you!" said the old priest, "your name, your occupation, your identity, these things are just your 'cloak 'cloak', and the real thing is inside these layers of 'cloak'. ”
I'm inside the coat?
The name is an outerwear!
Occupation is the coat!
Identity is the coat!
That's not the real me!
So where is the real me hiding?
Who am I?
This time, he asked himself this question, as if he were questioning his own heart. Despite repeated rejections, Pique felt that he was close to the answer.
Finally, the old priest asked one last question. "Who's talking to me?"
Who's talking to you? Peake pondered the question in his mind, and then blurted out, "It's me!" ”
Suddenly, as if he realized something, he muttered, "I'm me." Peake breathed a sigh of relief, then made sure again: "I am who I am!"
At this time, he understood that a name was just a codename, a carpenter was just a profession, and a son was just an identity!
I am unique in this world.
Name, occupation, and identity are just layers of my coat, not the real me!
At this moment, he understood everything!
Just as he was saying his final answer, suddenly, he felt as if something was being released in his mind, and then ...... He saw himself standing in the room, and saw the old priest sitting on the bed, and felt like he filled the whole room......
Wait, how can I see myself?
Isn't that what you're looking for?
"Kid, what do you see?"
"I see myself!" replied Peake in shock.
"All you see is your own body, that's not the real you. The old priest's tone calmed down, not as fast as it had just been. "You've succeeded, and it will be easier to release your mental power in the future. ”
That's just my body?
So what am I in now?
Is it the soul?
My soul is detached from my body?
Doesn't the book say that when a soul leaves the body, it becomes a dead spirit?
"Am I in a soul state now, why am I outside my body?" his voice trembled, this was the first time he had encountered this spiritual experience.
"It's not unavoidable to call it a soul, but I'm used to calling it a spiritual power. Don't be afraid, kid, now you can try to fly......"
