"Mr. Li Qing, good day." Rod nodded politely, and pressed Nar, who wanted to stretch out his claws to dangle in front of Li Qing's eyes, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"There aren't many people who like history books." Although Li Qing is tall, the whole person doesn't look fierce at all, "Most people will pay attention to those various cheats. ”

"Actually, I was the same in the beginning." Rod shrugged his shoulders and didn't accept Li Qing's appreciation, "It's just that I can't see those things at all, so I just give up." ”

"It's not as easy as you say." Li Qing obviously misunderstood Rod, "When faced with so many precious books, many people's first reaction is to memorize them. ”

"Rote memorization is never key." Rod blinked, "Although I'm good at it—Mr. Li Qing, is this also a test?" ”

"Sort of." Li Qing nodded, "If you are obsessed with those incomprehensible book secrets from the beginning, I am afraid there will be no chance to get rid of the demons in your heart." ”

"Demons?" Rod felt a little strange at Li Qing's words, "What do you mean?" ”

"As the name suggests." Li Qing looked taken for granted, "A large part of the reason why the vicious curse can take effect is the obsession that you can't let go of in your heart, and the obsession gives the soil for the curse to breed, which makes the crown on your head unable to be taken off - not that it can't be taken off itself, but that your heart is longing for it and reluctant to give it up." ”

Rod was a little confused.

For this kind of idealistic philosophical thinking, Rod has always been unclear, although he can understand Li Qing's words, but for the connotation of his words, Rod can not understand.

"What do I think...... Isn't that under my control? Rod touched his chin, "Or do you think I can't fully control myself?" ”

"Not really." Li Qing shook his head, "You can control yourself, but as a complete person, your body and soul also contain the power of human instinct, this power can be restrained and tamed, but it cannot be erased, once this power is erased, then I'm afraid you can't be regarded as a person." ”

"And yet, the kind of necessary factor you just mentioned has aroused my obsession and nourished curses and demons?" Rhodes probably understood a little, "What you want to say is that this curse is aimed at the humanity that everyone has, and unless it is completely dehumanized, it will always be corrupted by the curse?" ”

"The first half is right." Li Qing nodded slightly, "It's just that in addition to erasing human nature, there are some other ways to contact the curse, and this is what you need to learn next." ”

"Really?" Hearing Li Qing say this, Rod finally fully became interested, "That'...... Where do we start? ”

"Start with meditation."

Starting the next day, there are two new figures in the meditation team, one large and one small—Rhodes needs to learn to purify his spirit and let his instincts accept his control, while Nar needs Rhodes by his side to settle down a little.

Rhodes didn't dare let go of this ancient yodeler - if he really made Nar happy, I'm afraid the entire Helana Monastery wouldn't let him play alone......

……………………

Meditation is easy to say, but quite difficult to do.

At Li Qing's request, when Rod meditated, he would not restore his mana, but would keep asking himself questions, and the questions he asked were varied and all-encompassing, but as long as Rod naturally gave an answer in his heart once, it would be considered a failure.

In the beginning, Rhodes was very unaccustomed to this way of asking and answering himself, and every time he asked a question, he would subconsciously answer the question - and according to Li Qing, this is the uncontrolled self.

For Rod, the greatest significance of this stage of meditation is to learn to cut off the means by which the ego perceives the outside world, and when Rod no longer subconsciously thinks about the answer to the question, it means that he temporarily cuts off the perception of the ego and can move on to the next stage.

Unfortunately, the truth seems very simple, but when the meditation is actually implemented, Rhodes finds that it is far more difficult than he imagined.

Thinking and reacting, it's almost an instinct for Rhodes – for most people, when he asks a question of his own, he only gives the answer a few times, but for Rhodes, he almost subconsciously thinks and answers all the questions.

As a result, Rod was directly stuck in this link.

"What's the biggest difference between the Ice Arrow's casting model and the Fireball?"

"Active explosion and passive smashing."

For the insecure Rhodes, persistent thinking and quick reaction have long been the foundation of his life, but now Li Qing is asking himself to stop this kind of thinking, at least when meditating......

How easy is that?

For ten days, Rhodes sat on the futon, trying to temporarily stop this knee-jerk thinking and reflexes, but found almost nothing but exhaustion.

Can't stop at all.

Rod's state was also completely beyond Li Qing's expectations - he traveled a lot, and he had helped countless people who couldn't see through their hearts, but he had never seen an existence like Rhodes who cultivated his self into instinct, although he was blind, but with the help of the dragon spirit, he could clearly see Rhodes' efforts, and even though Rhodes had been trying, the result was fruitless.

Even after ten days and ten nights of continuous meditation, although Rod's mental state was already very unstable, his instinctive response was still quick and sharp......

Seeing Rod's state, Li Qing finally understood why Kalmar said that Rod's "unimaginably powerful-with this terrible instinct, whether it is fighting or planning, Rod's reaction speed is not comparable to ordinary people, and this special instinct will make Rod's deadly fighting machine in battle like a ruthless fighting machine!"

Unfortunately, when meditating, this instinct becomes the biggest drag.

Seeing that Rhodes was unable to enter the next stage for a long time, Li Qing thought about it for a while and decided to turn to the Spirit of the Divine Dragon.

"Hold your breath!"

After a loud shout, a giant dragon that looked like a substance appeared behind Li Qing, and the dragon let out a roar, and then rushed straight towards Rhodes.

Facing the Spirit of the Dragon, Rhodes did his best to stop his body's counterattack.

The next moment, the fierce dragon spirit touched Rhodes's body, and then ...... Gone.
