Chapter 236: Jumping out of the cage and opening up a new path
When Xu Changqing was very young, he was brainwashed by a theory:
No external force, the inner is truly your own.
He thought so.
But then, as he grew older, he began to have his own thoughts, so he asked a question: what is external and what is internal?
He thought he had found the answer to this question three times.
The first time is the most superficial, and it is nothing more than to call it a cloud of people.
The power of pendants, the sharp weapons of divine weapons, the power of ingenuity and indigestibility, all belong to the outside, the skills that you have learned and received, and the inside that cannot be cut and split with the body and mind.
The second time was after being crossed, the separation of spirit and flesh again and again, re-re-seizure, forging the body, he tried the step-by-step of the Xuanmen, and also tried the common name of the Demon Dao.
Then he realized that the body can also be outside, the technology is in place, it is possible to clone a body, only the soul is inside, as long as the soul is not lost, it can be knocked down again and again.
The third time, and the most recent, he discovered that the soul can also distinguish between inside and outside.
The most important thing is the thinking pattern and core memory, as long as there are these two things, you will always be you, ordinary memory, but a kind of addition and supplement, rarely turned and retrieved, otherwise it would have become a core memory because it is often called.
As for soul energy, this kind of energy is important, but it is the easiest to obtain, it can be made with a brain, how much, not even without a brain, it is not that there is no way at all, and the inability to survive in the world for twelve years is the best proof of this, in that world, he exists purely in the form of a spirit.
Not long ago, the extraction of law elements is a kind of side proof, and has pushed his theory of the distinction between inside and outside to a new height.
He found that the original thought patterns and core memories were also unsafe and could be partially stripped away. It is this detachment, similar to the set of programs that implement a single or multiple functions, that forms the core of the elements of the law.
In other words, the elements of the law can be regarded as a part of the function-oriented soul.
Okay, then, back to the first question, what is inside and what is outside?
Or to put it another way, if there is a choice, which is the highest priority to ensure its existence?
The answer is clear at a glance, thinking patterns, core memories.
Of course, from the perspective of a bystander, Xu Changqing also discovered a pattern in the study.
It is very similar to the process of human research and discovery of the microcosm, first discovering molecules, continuing deeper, atoms, then deeper, nucleus, deeper, protons and other particles......
That is to say, it makes sense that the immortal system is a technical system invented by the energy civilization, but human beings are material, and their civilization technology starts from the perspective of matter and analyzes all things, while the intelligent life of the energy civilization may be a spiritual energy body, so it is cut from the perspective of energy.
It is precisely because of the different angles that for human beings, the cultivation of the immortal path is too metaphysical, and it is easy to talk about ideology and idealism.
After summarizing the rules and comparing them horizontally, Xu Changqing became more and more confident in his own set of theories for analyzing the immortal path, so he resolutely decided to continue to attack the soul and conduct in-depth experiments.
After many experiments and fuzzy observations, he believes that thinking patterns are indeed a synthesis of information, but not only information.
Just as plaster wants to become cement, it still needs water to bond, and information is closely related to information, and it also needs a bond to exist and play a role at all times.
He found that part of the strengthening effect of positive energy on the soul is to increase the total amount of this bonding force.
This process is a bit like blowing up a balloon, where the positive energy inflats the whole thought pattern, stretching every piece of information like a cookie soaked in water, and ensuring an effective connection between the messages.
The overall expansion of the thinking pattern, as well as the comprehensive improvement of other aspects brought about by positive energy, make the soul more efficient in controlling the soul power, and only in this way can the body be better controlled and controlled, allowing the body to obtain higher activation and energetic characteristics.
This is the detail of how positive energy uplifts the soul.
**The promotion is much simpler than this, cell activation, high energy level, and the characteristic of Jindan is that it can handle and transform energy more effectively than those who enter the Tao.
After discovering these, Xu Changqing also understood why Xuanmen repeatedly emphasized that the soul realm came first.
The essence of the soul realm is to strengthen the quantity and quality of information in the mode of thinking, and the more information there is, the higher the quality, the more it can withstand expansion.
If the mood is not strong enough, it is an inferior balloon, which will explode as soon as it is blown.
And what about him? All along, his soul realm is higher than his comprehensive strength, and it is much higher. In other words, he is more uplifted.
This discovery made him determined to strengthen the core of his soul with positive energy.
That's the real point, after all.
For this reason, he carefully observed each segmented upgrade, and then studied hard, and finally found the doorway and designed a strengthening method specifically for the soul core.
This method is still very rough at present, but its forced style has already flown straight to the sky, and the supreme first-class may not have such a means. It's not that they can't do it, but they are used to not seeking much understanding, and they are used to eating steamed buns that others have chewed and walking the path that others have walked.
Prudent, labor-saving, safe leads to low risk, and labor-saving leads to more efficiency.
Even if most cultivators compare, they are also comparing this, are you at the peak of Qi cultivation? I also bring a great consummation to the peak of my Qi practice, you can have four kinds of spells, I will add eight kinds of spells, and the spells are one level higher than the spells......
It can be said that with the passage of time, the differences between Xu Changqing and ordinary cultivators have become bigger and bigger, and the focus of each other's attention is different.
Ordinary cultivators don't care about anything else, they only care about whether they can climb to the top and how high they have climbed now, while Xu Changqing cares about why he wears hiking shoes and why he uses an ice axe, which leads to new whys such as how to climb if he doesn't have these.
He's still an initiate, and he's been through so much, and most of his time has been spent on starting over and over again.
However, without these accumulations, there would be no current understanding.
He's a hanger, yes, but some of them are developed by himself, he's in control of the overall situation, he doesn't care more and more about the level, the achievement or something that has been designed, within the rules, he's challenging the rules, he's turning the impossible into a possibility, although now it's just writing a small script to achieve a small goal similar to automatic pickup, but the direction of this development is very high.
If the pressure is high and the means are insufficient, something that seems to be a loss will often happen. For example, he has been holding back recently and has not upgraded, and all the positive energy he has saved has been smashed on the experiment, and as a result, the improvement of the soul core is not ideal, and most of the positive energy is wasted.
If he followed the usual method, or used the system that came with the Burning Moon's attribute template, he could get several times the improvement of the current result.
But he doesn't regret it, that's the input. People in the 21st century know that the investment in scientific research is so expensive that even the real tyrants can't support it. His loss is nothing at all, which is why he chose the immortal dao system as a reference, if he really wants to build a pure self-built system, even if it is just to build the core, it is not something he can play alone.
Bai Ying and the others obviously don't know this, their thinking mode stays in a relatively simple realm, fighting monsters, upgrading, and enjoying are such a mode.
Fight monsters to get upgraded resources, and at the same time show off your muscles, gaining the recognition and respect of others,
Upgrade, upgrade can better fight monsters, only I abuse people, no one abuses me. At the same time, the upgrade is also beneficial to divide the obvious size benchmark, I am just a little taller than you, so I am more awesome.
Enjoyment, a sense of accomplishment, glory, flowers and applause, as well as the joy of the tragic death of the enemy, eating and drinking, and so on.
Life can be so simple, whether it is becoming a master or cultivating a fairy sword, it is all for the service of these three, to put it bluntly, this is the life of a high-level mercenary, and it is also the life of a chess piece.
All beings have drawn a big game, few of them are exempt from vulgarity, and they are all rolling in this game, the difference is only that some are crowned as winners in life, most of them are background boards for foils, and some have become so-called negative teaching materials.
If you have the vision of jumping out of the chessboard, you will feel that the battle inside the board has become dull and boring, and you want to explore the vastness outside the chessboard.
Xu Changqing has come to this point, but he has that vision, but he has not yet jumped out of the strength of the chessboard, so the horse walks the day, like Feitian, the rules that should be obeyed must be observed, and the number of steps that should be taken can be poor.
It's just that his mind has long been out of this, so he seems blandly and cold, giving people a sense of pretending to be cold, as well as a sense of brain-dead ignorance of current affairs, and a strange feeling of living in isolation.
After saying goodbye to Xu Changqing, Bai Ying took the three-dimensional map given by Xu Changqing and opened the way in front of him, and several adventists walked and chatted in the back.
Usually they don't get along very well, not only because they have just met and lack of understanding, but more importantly, they are both lions.
Whether it's a real lion or a lion, anyway, the sense of territory is very strong, I am the protagonist of life, you are all foils, you are used to set off me, glory, interests, achievements, sisters...... These are mine, and what I have picked and don't want is yours.
It's all this very gentleman, very masculine mentality, but some are more explicit, some are more implicit, so the default between them is a competitive relationship, can live in harmony with each other, a big reason is that they all feel that they are brainy, IQ online, and also count on the future of the king's air leak detection, subduing the general, and the first arrival, first pretend to be sleek for a few days, and see the limelight and fire again show the edges and corners.
It's almost like this mentality, all of them seem to be very shrewd and very good at being people, but in fact, all kinds of details have already been exposed.
For example, the attitude towards Xu Changqing.
This can be regarded as finding an object that can be ridiculed together, without him, it is too inconsistent with the mainstream thinking.
"There is no ambition, the flies are dogs, and the extraordinary opportunity is wasted!"
"Well, I understand this kind of person's thinking, it's better to die than to live, and it's not willing to do risky things at all! We've only been here for three days, and we've gone deep into the cave and found the big plan of the monster, which is good, it's been two months, and we're still clearing the monsters. ”
"Brother Liu's words are a little biased, we went deep into the cave four times in three days, and the monsters we killed were all over the place."
"Well, there is no need to worry about this kind of detail, we only talk about the nature of the incident, and the attitude of doing things."
"Cleaning up the trash fish is a job, and the self-proclaimed Jidu can work diligently for two months, without merit and hard work, and he still has to be recognized."
"Yes, the hard gardener award, you can let him do it in the future." ……
A few people, you say a word, I say a word, so that it is not boring at all.
Due to the impatience of one race and one by one, and the three-dimensional map in hand, and there were no monsters to obstruct them along the way, their group advanced quickly, and it took more than half an hour to reach the forefront.
According to the information provided by Xu Changqing, they unanimously judged that this is the most likely direction of 'shipment', and maybe after turning one or two channels, they can see the target they are looking for.
However, Bai Ying was skeptical: "Compared with the other three, this place seems to be too deep. ”
Several of the Arrivals were silent.
Of course, they also found this problem. They did raid all four caves for three days, but each one was not really deep, not even half as deep as this cave.
They are indeed better than Xu Changqing, and they are more efficient in teamwork. But even if the monsters stand still and let them cut off their heads, there is still time to consume, explore the way, start a battle with the enemy, rest for a while after victory and then advance, even if it is a triumphant song all the way, this is time.
Xu Changqing also won every game, diligently and diligently for two months, not as good as their performance in a few hours? Naturally it can't be, they haven't had a high pole to that extent.
But no one wants to mention this stubble, as if it would be too much affirmation of Xu Changqing's merits, and the comparison of the two sides' records will lack a sense of amazement, so as to reduce their loftiness.
Bai Ying is also sophisticated, knowing that these adventers have excellent face, and their morale should be boosted rather than leaked, it is rare that they are so willing to work hard, so don't pour cold water.
So she only ordered the three battle nuns who came with her to be on high alert, and it was best to be mentally prepared for a tough battle.
This is actually for the Adventists.
Bai Ying is also an old bird, if he still doesn't understand that this cave is extraordinary, then the previous twenty years of career as a demon hunter will be in vain.
Then, very suddenly, the group met the enemy. At that time, everyone's first thought was: "I'll go!" ”
