Eighteenth Sula Will

Feeling anxious and looking forward to coexistence, Muhadi waited until the second week to learn psionic powers.

This time, it was Fatuma who sent him, but it seemed that the girl was preoccupied. Muhathir knew she was worried about the negotiations with Tyre, but he couldn't comfort them. Because in theory, Muhathir shouldn't have known about these things.

The two rode all the way to the outside of the Black Forest around the Dust Hall before parting, and Fatumai dropped a sentence viciously, "Don't waste time, I'll come back as soon as I finish the old witch's class!"

For a moment, Muhati wanted to step forward and hit her, as if to comfort him, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded silently, and then turned and walked into the Black Forest.

Although the Black Forest was as bleak as it was last time, al-Muhati no longer found it terrifying. Seeing the various illusions that Lyra displayed in the painful training that day, a few strange pieces of wood and the cold wind of the desert, it seemed that it was not so terrifying.

The shattered and collapsed dome and columns of the Dust Hall were getting closer, and Muhadi became a little nervous. I don't know what lesson the old woman Tianqin has prepared this time, do I have to go through that maddening maze again?

Muhadi walked the path as he had done last time, went around the back of the main hall, and pushed open the ancient stone door.

A vast starry sky suddenly appeared in front of me.

The darkness is emptiness and depth, with scattered stars dotted on a black velvety curtain.

Looking at the endless void beneath his feet, Muhadi hesitated and didn't know whether to step forward.

"Step. Like last time, the old woman's voice came out of thin air. "Have you forgotten how to walk?"

Muhadi looked at the nothingness beneath his feet, took a deep breath, and then calmly took a step forward.

The boy did not fall, and there was hard rocky ground under his feet.

The starry sky suddenly disappeared, and Muhati was still in the rudimentary stone room he had been in the last time, sitting on the side of the old woman's wandering objects. The girl, Aisha, looked at him with concern, and was visibly relieved to see that Muhadi had come in safely.

The old woman's godless eyes were unfocused, and she said in a way that was almost murmuring: "With any rational thinking, it is impossible to stuff the starry sky in this broken house." ”

"And it can't be a portal or anything like that, otherwise the air pressure difference can push you through. ”

"But you hesitated. ”

Muhadi pleaded. "That illusion is so real, and your psionic powers are so powerful that you might be able to do something seemingly impossible, I don't dare risk it. ”

"Don't forget that I can read your love!" Lyra suddenly raised her voice.

"Your hesitation just now is because of the fear of the unknown!"

Muhadi was speechless. Aisha gave him a reassuring look.

"That's the lesson for today, you're going to learn to use reason to overcome primitive animal feelings. After the old woman finished speaking, her tone changed and changed into a girl's voice. It seems that her other personality has come to the fore.

"Let's start with the theory. ”

It was somewhat strange to see a person who looked like an old woman, speaking in the voice of a young girl. But Muhadi didn't dare to come out at all, and sat cross-legged with Aisha and listened attentively.

"There are many superstitious people in the world who believe in the existence of the soul, who think that the soul is some kind of shimmering, translucent suspended human form. Amusing. ”

"At a time when most of the world's people were still immersed in such baseless superstitions, my generation of psychic magicians began to study the human mind systematically. ”

"In ancient times, the psychic warlock appeared, and every intelligent creature, whether it was a human, an elf, a dwarf, etc., had a personality of three layers. Ancient psychic magicians named these three layers of personality the id, the ego, and the me. ”

"The id symbolizes the beast instinct of intelligent life, represents the most primitive, satisfying appetite, ** and other instinctive impulses**, it only follows the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, it is the driving force of personality. ”

"The ego is the psychological component of intelligent life, and here the principle of reality temporarily suspends the principle of pleasure, which reconciles the conflict between instinct and reality. Ancient psychic magicians believed that it was the executor of personality. ”

"The I (super-ego) is the mystical part of the personality that is governed by the principle of perfection and many times in opposition to instinct. The noble actions of intelligent life that go against the instincts, such as sacrifice and devotion, are my role. We psychic warlocks also have to draw on the power of this part, and I am the manager of the personality. ”

Aisha was listening with relish, but Muhati shouted loudly in his heart, isn't this Freud's psychoanalysis, how come there is no one who has become a psychic warlock in addition to this set of psychology on the earth.

Similar to personality, there are three types of human consciousness. Lyra continued to speak in a girlish voice, her face unusually solemn like a religious ceremony. "Conscious, subconscious, unconscious. ”

"Consciousness is the decision made by the subjective personality of man, and the subconscious and unconscious are mostly influenced by the id. ”

Lyra suddenly withdrew her misty gaze and glared at Muhadi, who thought he had done something wrong. "For example, you didn't dare to step into the door before, but you saw the endless void below, and you subconsciously feared falling. And you often touch your nose from time to time, and your hands are swapping postures, which is an unconscious behavior that exposes your inner anxiety. ”

Muhadi was startled and listened to Lyra continue.

"Fear of heights is the most basic fear of humans, elves and dwarves will not have such a strict fear of heights, but humans are different. At the age of three or four, humans begin to have falling dreams, which are remnants of the collective memory of the ancient tree-dwelling humans. Let the human hatchlings also know the danger of falling, so as to avoid the cliffs. ”

"I'm testing you with that illusion of the starry sky specifically to see if you can overcome instinct with consciousness and overcome unconsciousness. Because the untrained subconscious mind will affect your decision-making, and the unconscious will expose your heart. This is absolutely fatal in the battle of psychic magicians. And a strong consciousness will make you useful for the rest of your life, even if not in the psionic realm. ”

"You, and Aisha, have already gone through the first stage of painful training, so you won't continue to train your ability to endure pain today. With your fragile will, continued training may cause you irreversible mental damage. ”

"But the effect is already being felt. ”

"There's a term called overdose healing. When your bone is damaged, the body automatically repairs it. Moreover, the repaired parts tend to be denser and thicker than the normal parts. The same phenomenon is also true for the mind, if you have been injured in the past and are injured in the same way in the future, it is not easy to be knocked down. Trained by my suffering, ordinary suffering is no longer able to help you. ”

“...... So today we learn another technique, how to stay awake, overcome the deception of the senses, and triumph over instinct with will. ”

With that, Lyra snapped her fingers. Four flying knives appeared in the air, their blades flashing with cold light, and they looked extremely dangerous.

"Now close your eyes. ”

Muhadi did as he was told, and then felt a sharp object against his eyelids.

"Now, move forward. Lyra commanded. Muhati was at a loss for a moment, moved forward slightly, and felt the hard object on his eyelids sting closer, which could be said to be about to be stained with his eyelids, but now it is completely topped.

"Onward!" Lyra raised her voice, stern. Muhadi felt that if he moved a little further, his eyes would be pierced, and if he dared to move, he had to freeze in place.

"These two throwing knives are simulated with illusion. It won't hurt anything, it just feels like it's just a deception to you, you have to believe the facts, give me the way!

It turns out that this is the deception of feelings, Muhathir thought to himself. Then he cautiously took a step forward, feeling that the foreign object on his eyelids really retreated step by step, and did not really hurt himself.

It seemed that it was indeed an illusion, and Muhati took a big step with confidence, but his brain knew that it was not real, but his body instinctively refused to obey. He felt his fists clench unconsciously, and the muscles in his body tensed. And this obviously can't hide Lyra's observations.

"It's a little better than just now, I know the improvement. But you're still swayed by false feelings, why are the knuckles of your left hand clenched white?" Lyra critiqued, "keep walking until you can get used to it." ”

Human eyes are fragile and sensitive, so when a foreign object approaches, they instinctively want to avoid it. Lyra's training takes advantage of this.

Seeing that Muhathir was already able to walk more normally, Lyra raised the difficulty again and made Muhati open his eyes. At this time, he only saw two throwing knives, which were suspended less than 1 millimeter in front of his eyeballs.

"Psionic energy and magic can create all kinds of illusions. Sometimes you know it's false, but you can't help but be affected by illusions, and your senses deceive your reason. ”

"Now I tell you that the throwing knife is fake, if you can move forward normally. Then, in a real battle, if you have an illusion, even if your eyes are still looking at it, you will never be taken advantage of by the enemy. ”

"If you rely only on your own eyes, your other senses will weaken, and so will your will. Now, come and give it a try. ”

As before, Muhati also went through a period of fearful pacing, and then it was more natural to ignore the two throwing knives and move forward. It's just that he suspects that if he hadn't seen Aisha succeed on the side, he didn't know what would have happened.

Next, Lyra forced Muhadi to practice the casting gestures in the illusion flame and read normally in the stinky clouds. By the end of the day's training, Muhathir had been numbed by all sorts of difficulties.
