Dragon Slayer.

In fact, whether it is the internal strength cultivation in martial arts novels or the internal strength cultivation in reality, in essence, it is inseparable from the power of consciousness and spirit, and the so-called intention of martial artists is actually a kind of ideological and spiritual power, which they can use to drive the internal force or qi and blood in the body, that is, this kind of power......

This kind of power, if it is internal, is the so-called spirit and mind, and if it can be released, it is more like the mental power in those supernatural novels......

In a certain way, this so-called distinction between inside and outside is often an essential difference......

The reason is very simple, the former is self-aware of the warmth and coldness of drinking water, while the latter is a supernatural force that can be seen by the naked eye in the true sense......

In fact, for ordinary people, the power of spirit or will......

More often than not, it's still a very mysterious category......

At least in the vast majority of people's lives, it is difficult to understand the power of spirit and consciousness......

Although the word spirit often appears in the language of ordinary people or in various descriptions, and there is often a so-called spiritual civilization construction, for the vast majority of people, spiritual power is still an ethereal concept......

Yes, the product of idealism......

In other words, the so-called spiritual existence, in the cognition of ordinary people, is more often just a description of the corresponding matter, and the so-called material civilization is something that can be seen and touched. But the so-called spiritual civilization. It's more of a virtual description......

Most of the time. The embodiment of a certain spirit is often restrained and deep, and it is difficult for people to feel it in the most intuitive way......

And because of this, the vast majority of people rarely pay attention to the so-called spiritual improvement, and the so-called spiritual civilization, if there is no deliberate attention, is basically not too many people will pursue the truth......

The reason is simple. Compared with material civilization, the concept of spiritual civilization itself is too illusory......

Material is something that can be seen and touched, so people will strive to improve their material living standards, because the material itself is something that can be seen, and it is clear who has a high material living standard and whose life is embarrassed......

And on the contrary, who is more spiritually contented and spiritually richer. But it's not something that can be seen at a glance, maybe some old artists or eminent monks. You can see the shadow of some spiritual power, but more often, when people see other people's first glance, they often really pay attention to the wealth and status of the other party, because these things are obvious, compared to the so-called ethereal spiritual power, this kind of external thing is often easier to be seen clearly at a glance!

This is actually like people's perception of appearance and heart!

In this world, the vast majority of people are members of the appearance association, because appearance is often something that can be seen at first sight, as for the heart, morality, and character, these need to be communicated before they can be recognized, and the most critical problem is that a person's character and appearance itself have nothing to do with each other, since this is the case, then for the vast majority of people, if they make friends with the opposite sex, they will definitely still choose the object that can be seen in appearance, as for the other party's heart, Then you have to wait until you have a deep understanding before you think about it......

In fact, everyone knows that a person's heart is far more important than a person's appearance, and even a hundred times more important, but the most critical problem is that the vast majority of people in this world cannot see through the essence of others at a glance, and because of this, the vast majority of people tend to prefer objects whose appearance is more able to meet their visual needs, rather than trying to test each other's character and plain habits, this kind of thing is actually difficult to really be tempted, after all, everyone actually has their own bottom line. Since there is a bottom line, it is natural that the bottom line may also be broken, but it is difficult to test this kind of bottom line in ordinary times, and the so-called unpredictable human heart is such a reason......

And because of this, the vast majority of people will be more in the unexpected appearance, of course, from a certain Cheng dù, a person's appearance, can often see the character and quality of some people, from the appearance of clothing, many times can also be more or less seen what a person's inner world is like, and on the contrary, if a person's spiritual world is really strong, then it will naturally affect the appearance to a greater or lesser extent......

In fact, a person's temperament will not change a person's appearance, but it will make people who see this person have an invisible sensory correction......

This kind of correction, in fact, is essentially a manifestation of the power of the mind!

It's like the same look, a rich man and an ordinary person, it seems, must be the former more attractive. is the same singing, the attraction of a star singing is definitely not as attractive as a high-ranking official or a rich man singing, perhaps the level of the latter is far less than the former, but the latter singing often gives people a feeling that is difficult to describe in words......

The same song Farewell My Concubine, no matter how clever a singer is, it is difficult for him to sing the true kingly style......

On the contrary, if it is those high-ranking officials or rich people, those who are really kings and hegemons in their respective fields, no matter how ugly the timbre sounds, the charm in the songs can often be more vividly reflected......

And this, in fact, is the effect of the inner spirit or the power of the will!

Of course, in the world that ordinary people can access, people with this kind of spiritual power are actually rare, but even so, this kind of power is still a concept that is biased towards idealism......

That is, even if someone is able to feel the action of this spiritual power. But for the average person. There will be no actual evidence. If you can prove that this kind of power really exists, more often than not, you will only feel that it is the psychological hints in your heart that are working......

And the so-called idealism, because of this, some things, there are feelings, it does not mean that it is true, or it may be just a simple illusion, and there is nothing practical to prove. Then all feelings are just feelings, and they can only be feelings, that's all!

The vast majority of people would not categorically deny the existence of spiritual power, but if they were to be convinced of this power, they would not be able to come up with any evidence......

This is actually the reason why modern martial arts are in decline!

The internal strength, qi and blood in the martial arts are all things that cannot be seen or touched on the surface......

Cultivators themselves could naturally feel this kind of power that ordinary people did not have, but to outsiders, they knew nothing. This power of spirit and mind, if not able to be released. It is often difficult to be truly convinced, and many so-called qigong masters are inevitably mixed, so in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of qigong master, basically, can be said to be completely equated with a liar......

And this is the biggest difference between the martial artist and the awakened!

It is also a system of cultivating strength, the cultivation of martial artists is from the inside out, only when they are strong enough to reach a certain level, reach the level of martial arts, and cultivate the will of martial arts, can they show that they are transcendent and holy, far exceeding the strength of ordinary people......

It is only after reaching this stage that the warriors can truly surpass the ordinary people, and even have enough combat power to compete with the realm-level awakened people, and the warriors who are strong enough to a certain extent can basically ignore or resist various supernatural forces, which is the qualitative change caused by quantitative changes......

However, the martial arts powerhouses at this stage are still a minority in nature, and generally speaking, their strength will rarely have the opportunity to be revealed in front of others, and the people who can really see or understand their power are only a few people after all......

The Awakened are just the opposite, their power is often a kind of outside-in power, especially those who are not strengthened by the Awakened, basically, even if they are not at a high level, they can also show their supernatural power very lightly, although this power itself is not strong, but it can naturally show the kind of power that is far beyond the cognitive range of ordinary people......

Speaking of which, this is also the biggest difference between the awakened and the warrior, once the power of the former is exerted, it can often be widely known, but the power of the latter is hidden in his body, and even if it is displayed, it can be known without seeing it!

The power that cannot be seen is not easy to form a deterrent, often only their real enemies can feel this power, and for onlookers, it is difficult to form a deterrent effect, that is, because of this, the social status of the warriors is generally not too high, because although they are very powerful, but once their power is used, it will definitely cause results, but it cannot form an effective deterrent effect!

Speaking of which, deterrence and actual combat are essentially two very different ways to show power!

The act of deterrence can often make the enemy involuntarily give up hostile ideas because of fear, just like the awakened people of the modern element system, they often only need to show their ability to control the elements in front of the hostile forces, which is often enough to make the other party give up a lot of unrealistic ideas because of fear, and can get a lot of things without blood......

On the contrary, the effect of actual combat is often the opposite, the actual battle, it is often easy for people to fall into a kind of blood feud that cannot be extricated, the warrior and the awakened, even if they have the same combat effectiveness, but the deterrence of the enemy is not the same level at all, because the awakened can show their extraordinary strength in a way other than guò non-killing, but if the warrior wants to show strength, only simple killing can do it!

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, even if a person is good at kung fu, he is just an ordinary person, everyone is an ordinary person, and if you are good at kung fu, you will not be convinced. Instead, it provokes the idea of getting right away. It's like being in reality. If a warrior borrows his kung fu to kill someone, then he will most likely be arrested by the police, and if the warrior dares to resist, then the next thing he will face is the crushing of the state machine, for the warrior, when they show their strength, it is often when they violate the order, which is why so. Therefore, when they exert their power, they often have all kinds of scruples, and in the end, they will become constrained and unable to truly show their strength......

The Awakened are different, supernatural powers are always terrifying, even if they can only raise a flame on their fingertips, many times it is enough for many ordinary people to worship as gods......

And the difference between the two is actually essentially on the strength of the spiritual power!

The spiritual power is strong enough, and if it is converted into a mental power that can interfere with matter, then it is enough to make ordinary people feel intimidated. On the other hand, if it can only run in the body. So no matter how powerful you are, you will inevitably encounter a lot of troubles......

And the path taken by the martial artist is inherently a relatively restrained path, what kind of true qi is released, or high-end skills such as killing in the air, can often only be done when the level of the martial artist reaches a very high level, and before that, even if they are much stronger than ordinary people, but before they really make a move, it is still difficult to arouse the respect and respect of others from the heart......

This, in the final analysis, is because of the power of order, in a world where the vast majority of people do not need to use force, there is no big advantage in having force itself, and it will even be the source of trouble, if you have to say it, that is, the gangster underworld, or the rich as a bodyguard, such a character, at least in the cognition of ordinary people, will not have too high social status, obviously has a strong power, but can not get a status that matches the strength, This is also the reason why martial arts are lonely, and truly powerful martial artists also choose to hide, or establish a hidden sect!

And among the awakened, this situation is often very different!

The talent of the awakened is essentially different from that of the warrior, whether the warrior is strong or not, in essence, can only look at their strength, and the power they have, but it is precisely what the order cannot allow, so their position is always very embarrassing, do not use force, many things cannot be solved, and once force is used, it is often troublesome......

And the awakened are completely different, their talents are diverse, even if most of the talents can be effective in battle, but almost every talent in reality, there is often a very good table, for example, the perspective ability can be used to see through the stone, become a master in the jade world, and then for example, the light prediction ability, can also make a person an excellent fortune teller or an expert in psychology, it can be said that almost every ability, more or less, It can make it easier for the awakened to obtain a social status that matches each other's abilities by virtue of their abilities......

In the final analysis, compared with martial artists, the social survival and adaptability of the awakened are often very strong, and not only that, the vast majority of the organizations of the awakened will arrange some relatively decent superficial occupations for the awakened within their organizations, so that they will not encounter any bloody things in society, thus exposing their abilities......

This is precisely the advantage that the warriors do not have, the talents of the awakened are strange, so it is often easier to gain a foothold in the society of ordinary people, and even become high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, famous doctors, and masters of famous doctors, in all walks of life and fields, occupy their own place, and with these non-combat talents, they can often effectively shelter those pure combat awakened people, give them a good living environment, so that they can have no worries, and better improve their combat effectiveness......

In the final analysis, the combatant awakened and the non-combatant awakened are actually in an interdependent relationship, the latter is responsible for earning wealth and gaining status, and the former is responsible for protecting what the latter obtains, without the power protection of the former, the latter obtains things that are often like floating clouds, and if there is no wealth and status obtained by the latter, then the former is often unable to live a decent life, which is the so-called each performing its own duties......

Both are equally important in an organization, even the Awakened. Directly use force to plunder wealth. It's not a viable thing to do......

And warriors often do not have such conditions. Because their ability is often very simple embodied in force, and force itself cannot be betrayed, at best, it can only be used as an underworld, or to be a thug bodyguard, such a profession may have a lot of income, but it will not have much power and social status. Not to mention being able to give a better development environment for the subordinates......

Because of this, the vast majority of martial arts halls are basically not able to make money, first, there are fewer people who are willing to learn from teachers, and secondly, if the martial arts hall itself is not famous, it is difficult to have the opportunity to make money......

In a certain way, the most fundamental difference between a warrior and an awakened person is that the spiritual power of the two often takes a completely different route!

The vast majority of a martial artist's spiritual power flows through the body, and unless a master is decided, it can't be penetrated through the body!

And among the crowd of the awakened. Many people tend to have a certain amount of mental power when the level is not high. Although these telekinesis are not very powerful, but it is more than enough to move and levitate some small things, if from this point of view, the awakened person with telekinesis, if they are magicians, can definitely be popular, after all, they are not performing magic in the real sense, but supernatural power in the real sense, and will not be debunked in any way......

In fact, the so-called spirit, will, and telekinesis......

Essentially, it's all about the power of the heart......

Yes, the power of the heart!

The power of the soul actually exists in the depths of everyone's heart......

However, for the weaker beings, the strength of their minds seems almost negligible......

What they think about, what they care about, is just a tiny speck of dust to the whole world, to everyone else......

Therefore, the power of their minds will hardly interfere with reality in the slightest!

On the contrary, the more powerful the individual, the more power the individual controls, the stronger their psychic power will be!

The things they think about, the things they care about, there will be many people who think the same way, and they care about the same things, and the more people they care about, the easier it will naturally be to achieve, and the more people who think, the easier it will happen!

And the source of the Illusory Realm is precisely this kind of spiritual power!

This is the fundamental reason why many Awakened Persons of the Enhancement System will be far more difficult than other Awakened to take this step to the Phantom Realm!

The will of the weak represents only a fantasy and fantasy......

However, the will of the strong has a high probability of being realized......

It's like if someone is seriously ill and urgently needs a life-saving money, the most the poor can do is to help bless it, hoping that there is a rich person who can help the patient tide over the difficulties, and if a rich person also has the same idea, then he himself can play the role of this timely rain, and there is no need to fake others, this is the difference between the will of the strong and the weak!

The will of the weak can only represent their own ideas, while the will of the strong can often become a reality......

This is the difference between the strength of the two psychic powers!

The stronger a person is, the stronger his spiritual power will naturally be, and the greater his influence on the world!

On the other hand, if the stronger one's spiritual power is, then the stronger oneself will naturally be!

Of course, many people will also attribute this power of the mind to personality charm, but in fact, it is essentially another way to put it......

However, the vast majority of people, no matter how strong their mental power is, can only operate in a mind-driven physical mode at best!

That is to say, for the vast majority of ordinary people, their psychic power is not enough to interfere with reality, and their psychic power can only influence other people's minds, and then let other people's minds drive their bodies to achieve it, not directly interfering with reality!

This is not because their psychic power is not strong enough, nor is it because their influence is not huge enough......

It's just because their own strength is not enough!

Like many religious leaders or heads of state, the influence and spiritual power of these people are not insignificant, even to the point of saying a word. It is enough to make all the people and believers blindly obey. But the power of their hearts. But he still can't reach the supernatural power, why?

At the end of the day, it's just because they're just a mortal relationship in their own right!

Their psychic power is very numerous, but in terms of quality, it does not exceed the barriers that are strong enough to interfere with the material world, so they often have a lot of influence, but they are not enough to show supernatural power......

This is the relationship between quality and quantity. No matter how strong the spiritual power of ordinary people is, at best, they are just ordinary people, the leader of a cult, even if they have many followers, they will still be shot in the head if they are shot in the head, this is because although they have a strong influence, they do not have any cultivation themselves, and although the spiritual power is huge, it is not pure enough. So it is impossible to form supernatural powers......

That is, because of this, so for ordinary people. This kind of influence, at best, can only be called a spiritual influence, and it cannot really rise to the spiritual level......

The spiritual level and the spiritual level, although they actually belong to the same type of power, but the level is still different, the spiritual power belongs to the invisible and intangible, such as the power of people drinking water and knowing themselves, even if it can affect a large number of people, but it is often not clear what kind of truth it is, even if it has a large number of people to support, in essence, he is still just a mortal, and he will not worship himself as a god, and then he will really become a god, and he really has the so-called supernatural powers......

Psychic power, on the other hand, is strictly speaking a force that is sufficient to directly intervene in the material world......

There is a fundamental difference between so-called direct intervention and indirect interference!

The so-called indirect interference is actually very easy to understand, just like when a person who is only on the spiritual level wants to drink a glass of water, he will use his own hands to pick up the teacup on the table and drink the water......

This process, in fact, is a kind of indirect interference, first have the idea of wanting to drink water, and then because of this idea, so drive your body to pick up the teacup and drink water......

Because I want to drink water, so I finally drink water, in this process, whether it is called to bring water, or to take water by myself, there is no difference in nature, this is a kind of mental interference in reality, but this interference itself, is formed through the medium of the body, that is to say, if the idea wants to become a reality, it must rely on the body to execute, whether it is to instruct others, or to do it yourself, it is with the help of the human body to complete this action, if no one to execute, Then all ideas can only be utopian!

The so-called direct intervention is completely different, the same example, if a person who has reached the spiritual level wants to drink water, then his mind can directly levitate the water cup to his mouth, and then let the water flow automatically into his mouth, or simply let the water in the cup directly levitate from the cup and then flow into his mouth, or let the water in the cup disappear directly into the cup, and then directly into his mouth or simply into his throat......

Compared with the former, this is a kind of direct interference of spiritual forces in reality!

The former belongs to the reality that ordinary people can understand, while the latter belongs to the existence of typical supernatural powers!

It can be said that reaching this level of power is a power that makes dreams come true in the true sense!

As long as it is within the scope of one's own ability, it can be achieved directly by relying solely on imagination!

This is also the highest state of spiritual cultivation!

And for the awakened, all their ranks, in essence, are actually based on this spiritual level, the spiritual power of ordinary people, the influence of ordinary people, for the awakened, is meaningless, indirect interference with the spiritual power of matter, in the final analysis, is just a transmission of low-level power, and only the power of the spiritual level is truly pure and can directly interfere with the power of matter!

Any awakened person, as long as he has mastered the mental power that is released enough to directly interfere with matter, is enough to crush all ordinary people with strong spiritual power, although the two may not be comparable in quantity, but compared to the purity of spiritual power, then the awakened person is definitely far above ordinary people. No matter how influential ordinary people are. It's just ordinary people. Even if it is worshiped and believed by countless people, it is only an ordinary person, and the telekinesis of the awakened, although the number may not be large, but it is a real power that can directly interfere with the material world, and in terms of quality, it is enough to crush those so-called cult leaders and the like. Such a character, no matter how many believers there are, and his wisdom is as deep as the sea, in the face of absolute power, he is just a chicken and a dog......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Dragon Slayer.

Almost any secret-level awakened organization like the Hidden Dragon will not relax the cultivation of the spiritual power of the awakened, at this point, whether it is the awakened of the enhancement system or the awakened of other departments, it is the same, the reason is very simple......

Because only those who have truly reached the top of the realm. Only then will you understand how important the cultivation of spiritual power is......

Only when the mind is strong enough can it harness a powerful force. There is no feeling of being lost because of the power......

Only when the spiritual power is strong enough can we not be confused by all kinds of illusions, and can we truly understand the truth in people's hearts......

Of course, the most important thing is that in order to reach the realm above the realm, the strength of the power of the mind is an indispensable condition!

And the way of practicing the power of the mind, there is nothing special about it, it is nothing more than meditation and meditation similar to Buddhism, or the so-called meditation of Westerners, this kind of practice itself needs to be completed with perseverance!

There's not much room for tricks either!

In a certain way, Wang Yu is a typical awakened person who is a halfway monk, and he is almost blank at the beginning in the cultivation of spiritual power, but his biggest advantage is his dream-eating power, precisely because of his dream-eating ability, coupled with his own awakening of the domain power, so that his spiritual and conscious power grows far faster than the vast majority of ordinary awakened people, that is, because of this, he just practiced for a short time under the guidance of the old man. Wang Yu's perception and the strength of his consciousness have reached a height beyond the reach of the awakened......

Speaking of which, whether it is perception, consciousness, mindfulness, or spirit, in the final analysis, it is the power of the soul!

And Wang Yu himself knows very well that the biggest distance between himself and the Illusory Realm is precisely the strength of his spiritual power!

However, at this moment, to Wang Yu's surprise, under the washing of the power of time, the power of his perception and consciousness was accompanied by the loss of his five senses, but suddenly became stronger!

And this growth almost made Wang Yu's original spiritual power, which was not very up to standard, completely break through the blockade of the illusory realm almost instantly, and almost suddenly reached the bottleneck close to the real realm!

Just in an instant, the powerful spiritual power instantly poured into Wang Yu's consciousness, making him feel his state very clearly!

Phantom Realm!

Yes, Phantom Realm!

Although he only used the body of Zhu Pingman to achieve the realm of the illusion realm in the dragon slaying fantasy realm, Wang Yu himself knew very well that although the body did not belong to him, the spirit and will were completely his own!

Under the effect of Dream Eating, Wang Yu is almost certain that as long as he successfully escapes from the torrent of time, then even if he returns to reality, he may be able to achieve the realm of the Illusory Realm in a short period of time!

Of course, the premise is that you can go back......

Thinking of this, Wang Yu's consciousness also faintly flashed a faint wry smile......

I seem to have played too much this time......

At this time, Wang Yu could clearly feel that his thoughts and consciousness were surging like the sea, and that powerful spiritual power almost completely filled the space around him, completely enveloping him......

He could feel that it seemed that his thoughts could have a earth-shaking effect on the outside world as long as they moved!

This is a state that is difficult to describe, but Wang Yu knows very well that this is because the power of his mind is in the torrent of time when his five senses have faded. Rapidly expanding relationship!

That feeling. It's like a little snake. After the baptism of the torrent of time, it suddenly turned into an unimaginably huge python!

It seems that with a slight movement of his body, he can easily attract the power of heaven and earth, can rain thunder, and can set off waves!

Wang Yu has such a feeling, if he returns to reality now, it is estimated that in terms of the state at this moment, he can show his combat effectiveness. It is estimated that it will not be inferior to the Bahamut that appeared before......

This is the power of infinite proximity to the realm of reality!

At the thought of a thought, thunder will fall from the sky, the sea will turn into beasts, the air will turn into a storm, and the earth will turn into giants......

Sounds beautiful......

However, Wang Yu himself is bitter and self-aware......

There is no other reason, although his state at this moment is extremely powerful, but he clearly finds that his sense of existence has also become infinitely close to zero!

He could clearly feel that his body seemed to have disappeared into the torrent of time because of decay. And his own consciousness also began to wash away in the torrent of time. A little bit it gets thin......

Although his current state is extremely powerful, he is even infinitely close to being a powerhouse in the true sense of the truth......

But in fact, at this moment, he is in a state similar to the rootless wood and sourceless water, as long as a moment later, the power of time will completely erase his own existence, and his consciousness will naturally become a part of the dragon slaying illusion, and then completely accompanied by the annihilation of space!

Yes, annihilation!

Originally, Wang Yu simply wanted to understand the power of time and space, but at this moment, it seemed that he had already ridden a tiger!

Vaguely, Wang Yu suddenly understood......

In this world, there are some things that are not in themselves things that can be peeped at will!

The mystery of time, how many people in this world have been chasing all their lives, but there are very few people who can really understand it, and most of them will be ruthlessly devoured by the giant beast that time has turned into when they try to get close to time......

If you want to get it, you have to pay, you have to take the risk......

If you want to obtain the mysteries of time and space, you must bear the risk of being torn apart by space and swallowed up by time!

In this world, there is never a free lunch!

It's like the police going undercover to the underworld, in order to find out the evidence of the other party's crime, and then strive to be able to catch it all in the end......

Once this action is successful, it is of course a huge benefit, but, in the same way, the action itself is often accompanied by huge risks!

Generally speaking, the relationship between the underworld and the police is a relatively harmonious and unified relationship, the police will not kill those members who give up resisting the underworld at will, and the people of the underworld generally do not choose to hurt or kill the police lightly, because once they do this, they must face the endless revenge of the police!

However, there is only one exception!

That's undercover!

Yes, undercover, undercover In general, if the police undercover is found, most of them will choose to extinguish, because the police's behavior has touched the bottom line of the underworld, the power between black and white, of course, there is opposition and compromise, but this opposition and compromise is not permanent, if the police want to copy the other party's hole cards, then the other party will inevitably turn off the table!

And this is where the risk of undercover lies, once the identity of the undercover agent is revealed, it is almost a dead end, and no one will prove the identity of the undercover agent, and it can even be said that the behavior of the undercover agent itself is a practice that cannot be agreed upon by both parties, so it is impossible to publicly reveal the identity, and if he dies in the process of investigating the case, he can only die in vain......

And at this moment, Wang Yu really realized that it is also risky to want to obtain the power of time and to spy on the secrets of time!

Because, time will annihilate a person's qiē, from the senses to the consciousness to the thoughts......

Let a person disappear completely!

That's the power of time!

At this moment, the entire Dragon Slaying Fantasy Realm seemed to have turned into a desolate and dry world, and cracks appeared on the edge of the world, looking like dense spider webs, and the whole world seemed to have become fragmented, and it was only a line between the destruction and destruction......

However, Wang Yu's body was strangely suspended in mid-air, and his entire body seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving only a faint white light...... (To be continued......)
