"Everyone thinks they know themselves best, but how many of you really take the time to explore your own heart? But "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" will mercilessly map out the whole mind, so that anything dirty can not be hidden. Shuling pointed to Li Jia's heart and said, "You look like a little girl now, and when you look in the mirror after you are sensible, you find that you are an ugly monster, which is really sympathetic." ”

"Nothing to sympathize with. However, anyone who sees their soul is like an underground tunnel will probably not be happy. Li Jia shook her head and said, "I've at least been restraining these thoughts." There is no better understanding of the preciousness of light than those who recognize darkness. In this meditative space, at least I have the opportunity to change myself. At least I have a chance to illuminate my heart, don't I?"

Shuling nodded slowly: "I hope you are really as you say." As a soul reader, I don't like sinking losers the most. ”

"What is success and what is failure in the meditation space?"

Li Jia seemed to ask a very simple question, but Shuling's expression was unprecedentedly serious, which formed a strong contrast with her seductive appearance, "The creator once told me that a successful person is a person who completely transforms himself. And the loser is the one who is lost in the will of others and his own instincts. ”

"Reinvent yourself?" Li Jia was a little puzzled.

"Mortals have a mixed and fragile heart, but a mage has a pure and accessible heart. The more powerful the magician, the more so. Even if he is a necromancer who is regarded by the world as the source of evil or a battle mage who has killed countless people, his spiritual world must be a beautiful place. ”

"What does this have to do with strength? Does it have anything to do with whether the spiritual world is good or not and whether the spiritual power is strong or not?"

"Your mind is like an unprocessed piece of ore, and the mind of a powerful mage is a piece of refined iron that has been refined and tempered by alchemy. Which weapon will be more powerful?" asked the Book Spirit with an analogy.

When Li Jia realized, he asked, "What is lost in the will of others and your own instincts?"

"It's like just now, you were attacked by distracting thoughts in the wind, and if this thought is strong enough, it will affect your thinking. If you lose your heart...... Well, this consciousness that is now talking to me no longer exists. Some of these thoughts come from what others think of you, and some come from your biological instincts. ”

Li Jia showed a shocked expression: "You mean that we will be affected by what others think of us? What kind of person others think of me, and what they think of me, will slowly affect myself? But we live in the middle of a crowd, doesn't it matter what others think of us?"

"Whether other people's opinions matter depends on whether you are strong or weak. I've seen some of your memories, and being influenced by someone else is not new to you, is it?"

"Yes, a lot of the time, I live for someone else. Be a good child, read good books, don't fall in love, get into a good university, be a humble person, a cautious person, an obedient person, a well-behaved person, or let go a little, be bold, and make friends with others...... Throughout my life, I have heard countless exhortations of one kind or another, sometimes even contradictory, and I don't know what to do. ”

"For magicians, what I think is the kind of person I am, is what matters. The purpose of cultivation is to make me that kind of person, whether it is a brave man who saves the world, or a demon king who destroys, they are all looking for me, and I will go to the end. ”

"I see...... What about instinct?"

"It's simpler. Shu Ling suddenly showed a charming and bewitching smile, approached Li Jia, gently put his head on his shoulder, hooked his head and neck with one hand, stroked his face with the other, and asked in a coquettish voice: "What if I don't want you to learn those nasty magics, but want to do something more interesting with you?"

Li Jia felt that his heart was about to pop out, he quickly broke free of the other party's hand, hurriedly took a few steps back, stared at the ground with his eyes, and said loudly: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, I know you're not her." ”

"But what if she says that?"

"I, I'm ......," Li Jia stammered.

"You see, that's one of the things you have to overcome, otherwise you won't get far. The book spirit returned to his original position with his hands on his waist.

"You, won't you feel embarrassed?"

"I'm a spirit, not a human being, but I don't have so many good and bad opinions, and besides, my performance was extracted from the fantasy of your heart. Hehe, who should be embarrassed?" said Shu Ling, covering his mouth and laughing.

Li Jia was stunned for a long time and asked, "Then what will happen if you really fall?"

"Most fallen mages lose their strength or die altogether. But there are also magicians who fall into a state of madness, they do not have a clear mind, but they have a magical instinct, and they become very dangerous and unreasonable. Such crazy people generally cause great harm. There is a sage in the history of the Tower of Dreams who fell into a frenzy when his wife and daughter were brutally killed by their opponents. Because of him, an entire city-state was trapped in his frenzied projection of the sea of knowledge for three years, and it took the masters of the Tower of Dreams and the Tower of Swords a full half a year to break through his realm and finally kill him in the projection of the sea of knowledge. And the people in the entire city-state have long since died cleanly, turning into all kinds of undead creatures. ”

"It seems that he has gained great power. ”

"It's just the power of madness and disorder. Don't crave that kind of power, just do it yourself. ”

Li Jia shook her head and said, "I'm not crazy, I'm just curious." Tell me what to do. ”

The book spirit walked over to the wall of the pit and patted the stone wall with his hand, strangely enough, whenever he touched the wall, it didn't make the sound it should have. Instead, the wall felt broken, turning into a rising mist, as if the materials that made up the wall had been broken into extremely fine particles and shaken.

And as her hand left, all the particle mist returned to its original place, turning into the same wall. Li Jia watched the movement of the book spirit, and then tried to tap the wall herself. It was hard, cold, like the walls he had touched in the real world.

"Remember, all of this here is not real matter, but your spiritual power. The torch is it, the wind is it, and it depends on it to protect the flame. The part of the mind that you can control is too weak to shake the rest of your conscious and subconscious mind. But as you cultivate, you will be able to do more and more things in this world, and at that time, your most powerful power is your imagination. ”

"It seems that you are strong enough to interfere with my meditation space?" asked Li Jia.

The book spirit gently waved to the torch on the wall, and a cluster of flames separated from the middle of the flame as if it was alive, and the flame flew in the air with the wave of the book spirit's fingers, and after dancing for a while, the flame turned into a vivid fire dragon, and the fire dragon with long fingers shook its head and tail while swinging its head and teeth and claws. Finally, the fire dragon circled around the body of the book spirit several times, and then turned into a stream of fire, and threw himself into the torch, and the book spirit spread his hands and said: "If you do anything for a long time, you will become a journeyman, I can't remember how many mage apprentices have stepped into the meditation space." The world at your level is simply defenseless to me. ”

"Can I do that in the future?"

"Of course, it's just a little trick to give you a long insight. You are a magician, and you should have a higher purpose in your meditation space. ”

Li Jia thought for a while, concentrated on looking at the torch, after a while, the torch suddenly trembled, and then the flames began to writhe, as if some force was pulling them, this form was maintained for a while, and then I saw that the flames suddenly swelled, reaching a height of nearly one meter, and burned to the top of the tunnel. Li Jia looked at this scene dumbfounded, and whispered, "I obviously just want to separate a cluster of flames." ”

"Take your time. However, I suggest that you don't waste what you have just done, and try to see if you can enter the tunnel ahead with this powerful torch. ”

Li Jia nodded, held the torch in his hand, and slowly walked into the fork in the road ahead. But as soon as he poked the torch into the mouth of the tunnel, the sound of the wind sounded again, and the flame shook rapidly, and after a few seconds, it was completely blown out.

"That doesn't work?" Li Jia withdrew with the extinguished torch, and then leaned into the other torches again to light the fire.

"Remember, this is a meditation space, and it's your imagination that limits you. The book spirit said behind him.

Li Jia realized, he concentrated his mental power again, imagining that there was a lampshade outside the torch in his hand. The flames on the torches were disturbed again, and the windless spontaneously went up. Li Jia stroked the periphery of the flame with his hand, really looking like a wizard. It seems that it is much harder to create a barrier out of thin air than to increase the flames that are already there. Like a crappy magician, Li Jia danced there for a long time, until there seemed to be a looming shield beyond the flames of the torches.

Generating such a barrier and maintaining its existence took Li Jia a great deal of energy, not to mention the physical strength consumed by constantly changing postures. He found that in this meditation space, the feeling of physical exhaustion was no different from the real world. He gasped and said to Shuling, "I hope it can be done this time, I feel that my spirit is going to be drained." ”

Then, with great care to maintain the existence of the barrier, he slowly walked into the tunnel, step by step.

After a while, the light in the tunnel became a little brighter. A new torch appeared on the wall of the fork in the road.
