Finding that Leping avoided talking about the question of "can he fight against androids", Garin Immortal knew that the answer was not optimistic. He wasn't disappointed—just because he didn't have hope in the first place.

"So, is there anything else besides that?" asked the Garin Immortal.

Leping nodded: "Yes, and it's two." The question just now actually came to mind on the fly. He organized his language and told the Garin Immortals in detail about his two psychological fluctuations in the Northern Capital—one with pride and the other with fear.

Just like when I was there asking the teacher for advice.

And the reaction of this Garin Immortal is also like Garin over there, guiding himself without reservation.

"I can roughly guess what your fears are, and it's not hard to solve, but the arrogant idea of claiming to be an arbiter is a bit of a problem—frankly, I don't really know that state of mind. ”

“...... Then let's solve them one by one," Leping was also a little helpless, "What is that fear—I ask myself if I'm not timid, even if I encounter an android on your side, I'll have the courage to fight to the death." ”

"I don't doubt that, you've already died once—oh, twice on our side. Garin laughed, "But don't you think that's the source of your fear, you're afraid of death...... Well, to be precise, it should be extinction...... Or perdition? ”

"Huh?" Leping was stunned.

"Dying in battle is not really death, but a different way to continue to exist in another world - you know this very well, of course, you have an attitude of indifference to dying in battle......"

Leping asked himself, feeling that what the Garin Immortal said was really to the point.

“...... However, in the Northern Capital, you are about to really realize the meaning of death, so you feel fear, "Pause a little and leave time for Leping to experience - for Leping, this time is a bit too sufficient, because the Garin Immortal leaves time according to Leping's emotional intelligence in this time and space - Garin Immortal then continued: "Death...... In other words, death means the end, it means the complete disappearance of one's own existence, and it means that everything that oneself once cared about is no longer related to oneself from now on...... And so on and so forth, there is no one who is not afraid of this outcome. ”

Leping: "...... What do you mean, teacher?"

"The Northern Capital has not been ravaged by androids, but because of its declining population, it is a city that is dying—at least in the part of the country that you saw at the time—in other words, you witnessed a real death, well, demise. Instead of the inconsequential kind of inconsequential trip to Huangquan when fighting with the cultivators. Naturally, there is a fear of true extinction that anyone can have. ”

"By the demise of the city...... Think of the demise of individuals......" Leping muttered.

Garin Immortal nodded, thought about it and said: "Maybe this summary should be said to be 'In the face of the demise of human civilization, I think of the demise of the individual, and then have a fear of the extinction', your fear at that time is this kind of fear." ”

I thought about Garin's words several times, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was right.

It's just that......

"Garin Immortal, you know very well. ”

Garin Immortal sighed, "Because I've seen it once." ”

"Just ......"

“...... Just?"

Leping pondered and said, "It seems to be ...... Not exactly, although I'll admit it's one of the reasons. ”

If you realize that the cause of the problem is there, you will be able to find a solution. For example, now, if you "understand" that your fear in the Northern Capital was out of fear of complete extinction, you can ...... Well, there's really nothing good to do. The best way to deal with this is not to think about it.

This is obviously a cover-up – but it does avoids the fear of death to a certain extent. Like all living beings in the rolling red dust, who doesn't know that they are going to die? But who lives in fear all day long, and who is bored? In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that most of the time everyone is just thinking about the next day, the next month, the next year...... I didn't pay attention to the death that would come decades later.

But even after "solving" this problem, deliberately not thinking about "complete extinction" and "end" or anything, and thinking back to the feeling at the time, Leping can still feel the fear.

Well, the fear of death is gone, but another fear has taken its place...... Or to be more accurate, the fear of oneself was a mixture of two fears, and now that the part about death has been removed, the other has come to the fore.

“...... Not exactly?" Garin Immortal was stunned for a moment, "Well, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do." And...... Well, your brain occlusion technique, your attainments are really good, Leping on our side has not deliberately cultivated this skill. ”

—————— —————— cut —————— line——————

The problem of fear is solved...... Half, another question of arrogance...... Well, it's much easier to solve.

"It's a very common question, it's nothing more than an extension of the sense of superiority," Garin smiled, "to think that you are special, to think that you are better than others, that you should be superior, that everyone else should be prostrate under you...... An idea that seems a little boring after overcoming, but it is also human. ”

"In most cases, in most professions, this kind of thinking doesn't do a lot of harm – at most it makes the person arrogant and unapproachable. ”

"But among martial artists, this issue cannot be ignored. It is the ancient wisdom of the ancient wisdom that a martial artist begins to be proud, which means that he is not far from failure. ”

"That's why I'm worried. Leping interjected.

Garin Immortal nodded, but smiled again: "Don't worry. Now that you're aware of the problem, it's only a matter of time before it's solved – well, it's really just a matter of 'time'. ”

When he said this, Leping was in a trance: Was this possessed by the King of the Realm and began to tell bad jokes? So Leping repeated: "It's just a matter of 'time'?"

"It's just a matter of time. Garin Immortal nodded: "Because this problem is particularly harmful to martial artists, it has long attracted the attention of martial artists, and there has long been a ready-made solution." In a sense, any martial artist, when they notice this problem, it means that the problem has been solved - it just takes a long time. ”
