Chapter 110: The World of the Mind I (Part 7)
Penny taught him a new set of meditation methods. The effect of this meditation method is famous - the full name is "the dragon vein under the starry sky is in a surging mood and meditates inwardly...... Well, it's the inward meditation method, which is better than the yoga meditation method that Shen Yan practiced in the past, and the effect is not much higher.
When Shen Yan asked why he didn't teach him the "Inner Vision Meditation Method" at the beginning, Penny asked contemptuously, "Did you perceive enough at that time?" When you open your eyes and can't even see clearly, you still want to look inward, is Nong thinking too much? ”
Shen Yan was grief-stricken when he heard this, "What about being each other's angels?" What if you don't hurt each other again? ”
Penny's answer was simple and clear, "Get out!" ”
After experiencing that life-and-death battle with the spear and axeman, Shen Yan felt that some kind of change was taking place in his body—just like the scene depicted by the martial arts master when he broke through—and at that moment, he really felt that the world was extremely clear, and every detail was so moving...... Vomit~
Of course, there are some others, such as more fine control of the body, a deeper understanding of sword skills in battle, and so on.
However, Shen Yan is sure and sure that it is not an illusion - it doesn't matter if you see the world more clearly or something, maybe there is a new breakthrough in the "perception" attribute. But while he is looking at the outside world with his eyes, he can also "see" his body in his spirit, and occasionally he can see blue tides, which cannot be explained by attribute breakthroughs.
- Until now, Penny had told him that this was a sign that he had the conditions to practice "inward meditation".
Shen Yan asked: What is the premise of cultivating the Inner Vision Meditation Method! Penny answers: Perception is greater than 10. Shen Yan: ...... What if I really want to flip the table?
There are three levels of meditation for practitioners, which theoretically should correspond to the psychoanalytic id, ego, and superego.
The first level is the unity of body and spirit; The second layer is to go deep into the spiritual world; The third level is to enter the Hall of Souls. The Hall of Souls is the place where Shen Yan entered when he first near-dying, and it is also Penny's residence.
Before meditating, Penny repeatedly reminded him not to be surprised at what he saw when he "looked inward." Because everyone's inner world is different, she can't use other people's worlds as a reference for Shen Yan. However, when Shen Yan really entered his heart through meditation, he was still shocked by the pattern of his inner world - the first time he saw it, Shen Yan was very sure that this must be his inner world!
Because he really deserves to be obsessive-compulsive, even everything in the spiritual world is so regular and orderly.
I'm afraid Penny will collapse when she comes...... Penny has seen many people's inner worlds, some are wild as the wind, some are raging like fire, some are chaotic inside, and some are ...... For example, the inner world of a lady is a statue of herself in armor, indistinguishable from the outside world...... Because it is constructed by self-fantasy, it is not surprising that it is so mysterious.
But there will never be a spiritual world as "real" as Shen Yan's world.
Shen Yan looked at his transparent body in surprise, and then looked at his feet, he was walking in a courtyard. Because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, in addition to being very gorgeous, he built this place in his heart to be almost indistinguishable from the real world.
At the foot is a boxy courtyard surrounded by a white marble railing...... The shape and layout are clearly plagiarizing the Forbidden City.
In the middle of the courtyard was a small pool, half of which was filled with blue water, and there was no wind rippling—Shen Yan naturally knew—that was his magic pool. For a huge blue vortex was spinning above the pool, stretching upwards from the pool to the zenith, and then spreading out to infinity. The magic vortex occupies the entire sky, and it is like a swirling and charming river of brilliant stars, filling the sky of the entire mental world.
The whirlpool was dense near the center, and the farther away the blue became, the sparser it became, and the farthest pale blue edge was far beyond the scope of the spiritual world. If you look closely, you'll notice that the whirlpool extends outward in countless spiral-like spirals, and these floating lines capture the free blue energy in the surrounding air, which is dragged by the whirlpool towards the center and eventually falls into a pond of magic.
As Shen Yan entered this world, his consciousness merged with the whirlpool, and the speed of the whirlpool began to increase significantly, and the mana pool was rising at a speed that was recognizable to the naked eye.
"Could it be that being in a daze here later is my way of meditating?" Shen Yan scratched his head and complained. His gaze looked beyond the whirlpools and fountains to the most conspicuous building in the entire spiritual world—a tall temple in the ancient Greek style!
Even if he had seen it, Shen Yan was still ashamed that his heart was so sullen.
The temple was built on a huge and wide pedestal, with no obstructing walls, and twenty-four stone pillars up to a height of 100 meters, which lifted up the roof of the temple. There were no flames burning in the temple, but a golden heart like the sun hung high in the middle of the temple. The golden light shone out from between the stone pillars and also shone on the square where Shen Yan was. A thick fog obscured the interior of the temple, and from the main entrance of the temple, there were hundreds of steps that descended all the way to the square.
Just as he looked at the temple, the door of the temple was pushed open from within, and a man walked out, who could it be if it wasn't Penny?
Whirlpools, temples, courtyards, and pools are the main components of Shen Yan's inner world. To the left of the temple, a large white marble foundation has been laid, but there is no building - that is for the subclass. Then near the pool, there were scattered white six-sided cube stones, a total of three.
There was also an identical, golden-colored cube floating above the mana pool.
Shen Yan's inner world is so real, as if he has put a fairy tale kingdom in his heart.
There is a landscape, and Penny, so if you just meditate in the future, you will actually go to the spiritual world and live a happy world with Penny? I mean, a world that is pure, as sincere as a mother and a child, and has no other color.
However, it was not possible then.
It's close, but it's far away.
Penny is dependent on Shen Yan's existence.
But Shen Yan is trying to understand what is the essence of self - "Who am I? Where am I from? Where are you going to fight? Before these three questions, he could not climb the steps of the Soul Hall and enter the Soul Hall. Correspondingly, Penny couldn't get out of the temple confines.
However, she was surprisingly happy to be able to move a little away from the temple and move on hundreds of steps. Compared to the earth, fire, feng shui, or the spiritual world of Jiuchi and Roulin, she prefers Shen Yan's real world—if we don't mention that damn symmetry!
