Chapter 25: The Heavenly Train VI

Amelia's mood was a little unstable, Li Yunlong gently patted her shoulder, and took the opportunity to inject the Concentration Pill in the Yuan Qi Pill into her body, "We are friends, Amelia, don't forget this." I'm here to help you voluntarily, don't be burdened. "The Tranquility Pill is a very low-level pill, and the effect is just to calm the qi and condense the mind, but the advantage is that the medicinal properties are neutral and peaceful, and it is famous for being harmless to the human body, and it is suitable for Amelia at this time!

Amelia rubbed the corners of her eyes, which were a little wet, and tried to take several deep breaths, gradually calming her emotions, "To make you smile, Lee, I thought I had enough courage to face any problem, and it was not the first time I encountered danger at work." But curse this kind of thing. Amelia didn't let go of the steering wheel, she just shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, "I really can't help it." Especially when I saw my colleague in the video just now, I realized that I was really scared. ”

Li Yunlong: "Amelia: For your situation, as a researcher of occultism, I can pass on my experience to you, so that you can learn how to face it." ”

Amelia: "Great, Lee, thank you. ”

Li Yunlong took a general look, he has not returned to the city yet, there are few vehicles on the road, and it is the middle of the night, as long as the lights are on, you can see it from a distance, be careful, basically there will be no problems. You can take advantage of this time to popularize some occult knowledge to Amelia: "Amelia, first of all, you must understand the complexity of 'man'! This complexity is not transferred by your personal will, from the moment you are born as a human being, this complexity has been decided! You believe in Christianity, unlike the Eastern occultism that I majored in, I only know a little bit about it, and I have not studied much, and if I explain it to you, it is very likely that there will be some mistakes and omissions. So I will say it in vain, and you will listen to it. ”

Amelia did not object, Li Yunlong's opinion may be wrong or missing, but without Li Yunlong, where would she find a reliable person to popularize her knowledge of the occult?

Li Yunlong: "Christianity advocates the divine Trinity in theology! In the personal aspect, it emphasizes the original sin that man has, believing that all human beings are born with original sin. So Amelia, what do you think is the original sin that is born with us?"

Amelia was not sure of her answer, so she had to guess and say, "Original sin, which probably refers to the seven deadly sins!" The Seven Deadly Sins is a concept proposed by the Catholic Church, and the 13th-century Dominican priest St. Thomas Aquinas lists various manifestations of evil, namely arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust.

Li Yunlong: "What you said is good, but it is not complete, man's original sin contains seven deadly sins, but the seven deadly sins are just a summary of religion, man's original sin is more complex than that, you can understand it as human survival instinct!"

Amelia felt that Li Yunlong's point of view was a little biased, "Li, since it is an instinct that humans are born with, why is it called original sin?"

Li Yunlong unceremoniously pointed out the reason: "Of course, it is because of the position, the position of religion has never been on the side of 'people', it will only stand on its own side!"

Amelia: "Isn't it, isn't religion supposed to be on God's side?"

Li Yunlong: "Have you read the Dead Sea documents? What does it say? 'There is no god in a big house made of stone'! This sentence actually refers to religion!"

This argument is a bit shocking, and it is completely different from the impression that Amelia has always formed, but fortunately, Amelia believes in Christianity, and is a little relaxed in this regard, coupled with the information explosion in modern society, a journalist like Amelia has exercised a big heart in his work, so that he can listen to Li Yunlong's fallacies and heresies relatively calmly. If it were a medieval Catholic, Li Yunlong would have been burned at the stake just by saying that!" "Alright then, Lee, you're an expert in the occult, and I think we should still discuss how to overcome fear." We can find a time to discuss these religious issues. ”

Li Yunlong: "No problem, Amelia. Fear is a kind of original sin, one of the instincts of human existence. All you need to do is face your fear, embrace it, control it, and make it your own!"

Amelia hurriedly interrupted Li Yunlong, "Wait a minute, Li, you mean to treat my fear as my treasure?!Didn't you just say that fear is a human instinct and a man's original sin, how can you face up to fear and become my treasure?"

Li Yunlong: "Look, Amelia, that's the problem. The education you have received, the reaction of the people around you when they talk about your fear, all kinds of external factors have distorted your own will and left a distorted brand in your heart! So you have never really faced your own fear, and your perception and judgment of fear is just the distorted brand that has been artificially branded!"

Amelia thought for a while according to Li Yunlong's train of thought, and felt that Li Yunlong's statement had some truth, but isn't fear a negative psychology?" "Li, even according to what you said, I don't know enough about fear at most, and it has nothing to do with treasures, right?"

Li Yunlong: "That's just because you haven't been able to really face up to your fears!"

Amelia was skeptical, "Is fear really such a good thing?"

Li Yunlong: "Fear itself doesn't matter whether it's good or bad! When we use it effectively, and not when fear itself rules us, fear is our treasure!"

Amelia: "Isn't it all fear? I don't see any difference?"

Li Yunlong patiently explained to Amelia: "Amelia, you have not practiced occultism, and you can't experience the subtle differences in it at present. I'll give you a few simple examples to give you a sense of the truth. Just a little example, Amelia, you use knives when you're cooking in the kitchen, and do you happily take knives and cut, stab and stick them in your own body when you use knives?"

Amelia gave Li Yunlong a roll of his eyes back, "I'm not crazy, how can I hurt myself with a knife!"

Li Yunlong nodded, "Your choice is also the choice of the vast majority of people, because you are afraid that the knife will cause harm to yourself, so even if you have a knife in your hand, you will not use it to hurt yourself!

Amelia was angry, "Aren't you talking nonsense...... Amelia is not a stupid person after all, so when it came to it, Amelia herself closed her mouth and seriously thought about what Li Yunlong said. From the point of view of common sense, Li Yunlong's words are similar to nonsense, but what if it is from the perspective of occultism? Or it is necessary to add psychology and biological evolution, and the role of fear in this is far beyond the limits that Amelia could have imagined before! The example given by Li Yunlong is very small, and the application is only in the field of knives, and Amelia follows this line of thought, but what about other aspects of life? For example, when using electrical appliances, when driving a car, when exercising...... If you think about it carefully in this way, you will find that the small example given by Li Yunlong can be applied to all aspects of life.

Li Yunlong: "The example just now is just a small example that is applied to personal life. Now I'll give you a big one, Amelia, have you ever wondered what federal law is up to? I'll tell you the answer is exactly - fear!"

Amelia disagrees with Li Yunlong's point of view: "The majesty of federal law is maintained by the law enforcement department of the federal government!"

Li Yunlong sneered disdainfully, "Rely on the law enforcement department of the federal government?" Li Yunlong stretched out a hand and made a small gesture with two fingers, "Don't talk about the number of people in the law enforcement department of the federal government, even if all the employees of the federal government are counted, there are more people?" This is not Li Yunlong's nonsense, even if the people of Laomei are always criticizing the federal government for being superficial, bloated in structure, and wasting resources, but when it comes to law enforcement, no state police department dares to brag that it has sufficient police force, no matter what year it is, there is a shortage of police force in the slogan!

Amelia couldn't refute Li Yunlong's statement, because what Li Yunlong said was a clear and clear fact, but Amelia still realized the problem: "Li, if fear is really such a treasure, then why hasn't anyone told the public about all this for so many years?" Amelia doesn't believe that only Li Yunlong himself is a smart person, Li Yunlong's statement that fear is a treasure can make a big news if it is operated well, although Amelia is confident in her professional ability, but she never dares to underestimate her peers, so Li Yunlong's statement must have something that she hasn't noticed, otherwise it wouldn't be unknown to the public today!

Li Yunlong didn't intend to hide these from Amelia at all, so he made it clear directly, "Of course, it's because of the problem of control." Amelia, do you know that when a person is young, either out of curiosity, or because of imitation, or for other reasons, he learns to smoke. After a few years, when he became an adult, he realized that smoking would harm his health, so he began to think of various ways to quit smoking, but the process did not go well, always starting with hard work, and after a while he started to smoke again. In this way, the effort to quit smoking stayed with him for the rest of his life, until he slept in the grave and finally succeeded in quitting smoking. Li Yunlong tapped his head with his fingers: "You see, Amelia, even such a trivial matter as quitting smoking is so difficult, not to mention wanting to effectively control fear, and even further artificially exploit fear! Don't forget that fear is one of our innate instincts! It is completely different from the bad habit that individuals develop after learning it. If fear gets out of control, it's not our treasure! Fear will turn into our dream demon! More brutal than the devil! More cunning than the devil! It will follow us like a shadow and we won't get rid of it! Until we finally fall into its clutches!"
