Chapter 21: Spiritual Practice (Part I)

Brother Bago crouched in front of me, wagging his tail:

"So, now you imagine the blade as me, imagine that if I am a heinous person who has been abusing you, you have the urge to knock me away. Remember, to drive spiritual power, it's not just about inner potential, but more importantly, about enlightenment! ”

I'll go, what do you mean if you're a bad person, and you're running around with me all day long, it's not much better in my eyes!

For the word 'enlightenment'? I didn't seem to understand, and I only remembered the previous sentence.

I thought about it for a moment, imagining that the blade was a cat's head.

I couldn't help but feel blood surging in my heart, my eyes were locked on the blades, and I didn't even blink an eye.

Lay down the blade and the blade slowly falls.

However, I still don't give up and keep an eye on it.

Imagine smashing this black cat spirit with punch after punch......

Really!

The moment it hit the ground, it floated in the air for a second.

I went, and it felt like I had a superpower.

"Although it's much slower than the average person, it's still not stupid." Brother Cat looked at me, wondering if it was to comfort me.

In order to remember this feeling, I did not take a break, but continued to pick up the leaves and start practicing......

After a while, the sun went down.

The evening sky was not gloomy, but had a bright blue, and the trees were tinted with a thin shade of red in the setting sun.

"Are you leaving?" Bego's eyes began to light up again, and they sparkled at me.

"Well, it seems like it's a little late today, too." It's strange to say, obviously I didn't run or jump, so I just basked in the sun for a while, but I felt very tired, "Don't run to my shoulder again, I'm panicking now." ”

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a man and a cat slowly walked out of the woods.

Passing by a coffee shop, I noticed that suddenly there were many people on the street.

They're all doing the same thing – celebrating Father's Day on June 21.

It's Father's Day on June 25th, and almost half of the summer vacation has passed. And my parents have been gone for nearly 3 months, and I often think of them from time to time.

In the past few months, my outlook on life has been turned upside down again and again. The world is really surprisingly big, there will be anything, and now if a teacher tells me not to be superstitious, there are no ghosts in the world, to believe in science, I will never talk nonsense, pick up a brick and knock it directly.

"You're not going to think about your parents again, are you?" When Brother Bei saw that my expression was down, he guessed what was on my mind.

See that I don't answer. It walked to the coffee shop: "Let's go, please have a cup of coffee." ”

Thinking that he had nothing to do, he readily agreed.

As if Brother Bei remembered something, he walked back and rubbed my whole body before entering: "This way there will be no anger for the time being." ”

When I entered the store, the waiters inside already knew me and would nod their heads to say hello to me. After responding politely, he found a seat and sat down.

Our table was odd - a man and a cat each sitting facing each other with a cup of tea. But if you think it's a "ghost coffee shop", I guess the people inside are not weird.

"Why did you open a coffee shop for ghosts?" I picked up my latte and took a slow sip.

Brother Bei licked the milk with his tongue, showed a satisfied expression, and replied inarticulately: "Most of the ghosts who come here are lonely ghosts, and the management of the underworld is also very strict. They are generally kind-hearted, and in order to give them a chance to be reborn, the 'Yin Yang People' opened this café, so that they can come here to make friends and drink tea when they feel lonely and bored, so as to relieve loneliness, in case boredom hurts people. ”

"I'll go, you should be an immigrant" I almost spit out the coffee in my mouth: "And the system you are talking about is similar to the general system in the world." ”

"Ghosts are also human." Bei Ge raised his head and looked around.

I find it particularly interesting for goblins to drink coffee. They are also sitting, but they don't just pick up the coffee in their cups and drink it. When they want to drink, they will signal to the waiter, who will pick up the cup and burn it. The smell of imagination slowly overflowed from the cup, and it is estimated that the aroma of coffee here is much stronger than that of other coffee shops, and their expressions are as intoxicated as if they had drunk coffee.

Seeing me staring at a table of people drinking coffee in a new way, Brother Bei also smiled and said, "Since they are all souls, they can't drink the physical coffee here, so they can only burn the coffee for them like paper money." (Sometimes it seems that it really has a lot more expressions than a normal cat.) )

Some of these guests have full bodies; Some are incomplete; Some look like people; Some of them are very ugly. Except for the trouble of drinking coffee, but they all enjoy coffee time like people.

Slowly, I found out that some ghosts are not so scary.

"You know, some ghosts may seem scary, but they are extremely kind at heart; On the contrary, there are humans who do all kinds of evil, and their actions are more terrible than ghosts. It finished its milk in a moment, stretched its waist and said.

I nodded knowingly.

"Pay!" With a yawn, Bei Ge made a wealthy voice and beckoned to the waiter.

When the waiter arrived, he politely picked up the bill and handed it to Brother Bei: "Hello, a total of 50,000 underworld." ”

"On credit" After Bei Ge finished speaking, he didn't look back, and walked directly to the door of the café. And I, too, followed him closely.

Leave the waiter alone.

It turns out that ghosts and monsters can bully each other.

Remembering what Brother Bei said to me just now, I looked at Brother Bei. At this moment, I think that Bei Ge is the evil ghost who does all kinds of evil.

After drinking coffee, I was much more energetic, and after a while, I returned to the old business (I don't know when, I used to live in the old business all the time).

The room was filled with the smell of cigarettes, and it seemed that the old merchant had returned.

Walking in, you will find that the table is full of hearty food, and the old merchant in the kitchen is also busy.

When he lamented that the old merchant could cook, the old merchant came out with a pot of vegetables: "Are you back?" Come, sit. ”

Overall, it doesn't taste great, but it's not unpleasant. It is estimated that living alone for so long is also a skill that should be had.

"You're so generous today, isn't it like you?" I took another piece of braised pork, and I asked him absentmindedly.

"You don't know this, don't you, high-level onmyoji like us get a salary, aren't they paid today?" The old merchant smiled smugly.

During the meal, the two of them chatted without a word.

"I can feel the spiritual power today."

"At your level, it's worth celebrating to have this achievement."

"You hurry up and get in touch, it's going to be the assessment date soon." ……

Although these two are friends who have just met, I feel at home at the moment.

---------Following--------

I didn't let Brother Bei accompany me today, after all, it's embarrassing to let him follow him in the summer.

Before dawn, I went to the spiritual eye to practice.

Picking up a leaf, looking for the feeling of yesterday, I found that the leaf felt like it was going to leave my fingertips under my gaze.

Suddenly, my confidence increased greatly, and I stepped up my practice.

Slowly, I was able to grasp the rhythm of the leaf falling.

I sat under the tree and rested for a while, remembering what the old merchant said to me last night: "

It is like a force, but the muscles and ligaments are mainly used to generate power. The inducing spirit is mainly to exercise mental power and inner potential. And the spiritual power is under the background of one's own consciousness and concentration, and it can be slightly stronger. And enlightenment doesn't become powerful overnight. It is a thriving growth that everyone has been honed for a long time and does not experience. ”

Consciousness? How can we be considered highly enlightened? I can't relate to it either. Lao Shang is so strong, is his so-called consciousness very high? But looking at the way he hangs all day long, he doesn't look like the kind of person who vows to eliminate harm for the people.

After a while, I continued to practice.

I don't dare to say anything else, but I still have a high opinion of my willpower, even though I'm not smart, my talent is average, and people are hesitant. But what I decide to do, I can't stop it.

Of course, sometimes it depends on the situation, if I decide to hit someone and he suddenly pulls out a gun, I will still give up calling him Ye immediately.

By noon, I was becoming more and more proficient in my spiritual power. At first, I controlled the leaves with both eyes, and then I poured spiritual power into my ears, and I could slightly feel the direction of the wind and the aura of nature.

Very excited, I'm not Superman or what? At this time, I feel like I think of the big guys on TV.

After collecting my heart and wiping my sweat, I thought it would be better to go back first.

As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sparse communication in the office.

When I went in, I saw a middle-aged uncle with a sad face and looked very unstable:"

Really, I saw a shadow scurrying around my house at night. He pushed his glasses and continued: "At first, I thought it was a hallucination, but then I found out that it was not, and it would giggle from time to time, which was very weird, so I came to ask the master for help." ”

"Assistant Lu, you're here. Push other cases back first, this Boss Zhao seems to have a bit of a problem, let's help him first. ”

"Okay, President Shang." I sang and reconciled with the old businessman. "President Shang, when are we going to do it?" ”

"Then tonight, I'm going to meet this demon." After speaking, the old merchant kept his eyes and shook his ponytail.

There are no evil ghosts, but I only know that there are two hungry ghosts.

Without further ado, I sorted out the ghost catching equipment, and I walked out of the house again, without eating a single bite of food.
