Yuan Shu is full of despair about this world: in his imagination, cultivation should be like in the novel, just eat something, drink something, say something, fight a monster can quickly upgrade, and then hang everything!

He had never thought that there would be so many complicated things to do in his cultivation! He felt that his current life was beyond his ability! Now he was like a fool, being teased every day, especially by Lei Zhen. All this gave Yuan Shu a headache!

Among all the things that gave him a headache, the most difficult thing for him to let go of was that the things around him one after another forced him to embark on the path of cultivation! He sighed in his heart: Is this the legendary duck chasing on the shelves?

After Yuan Shu sighed, he felt a lot better, and his mind finally returned to reality, he said to Lei Zhen: "I don't need any way to avoid being beaten now, you can let me return to a normal state, I think my body is okay, it's no problem to take a few beatings!"

"Are you sure?" Lei Zhen couldn't understand what Yuan Shu was thinking, "Changing to the earth attribute is my opinion based on your needs! Actually, I have a better way to solve Qingqing's problem smoothly!"

"You don't come to this set!" Yuan Shu didn't believe Lei Zhen's words at all now, "You say this every time, and as a result, I will still be beaten!"

"No, no, no!" Lei Zhen said, "It's normal for you to be beaten! After all, it's your own suggestion!"

As soon as Lei Zhen said this, Yuan Shu was angry at that time, "What do you mean, do I have a face that is not beaten?"

"Ahem!" Lei Zhen was a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean that! We both look exactly the same! I'm sure it's definitely not a beaten face!" Lei Zhen explained, "Think about it, you are a fiery person, your attributes determine your thinking, and your thinking determines your actions! So, no matter what you think, your most fundamental attribute will remain the same, and all your actions will be restrained by the water attribute! Right, right? So, it is normal for you to be beaten by Qingqing!"

Although Lei Zhen's words were a bit convoluted, Yuan Shu actually understood! He said, "Do you mean that I won't be able to escape Qingqing's beating?"

"Yes, all the ways you think of can't escape Qingqing's beating!" Lei Zhen said with certainty, "However, as long as you follow my instructions, you will never be beaten by Qingqing again!"

Yuan Shu was skeptical, "Why should I believe you?"

"Do you know why fortune tellers can't tell their own fortunes?" Lei Zhen asked a question! "What is the principle of self-healing?"

Yuan Shuzhen was stopped by Lei Zhen's question, and he asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because of fatalism!" Lei Zhen said.

"What does this have to do with fatalism?" Yuan Shu was about to be dizzy.

Lei Zhen began to explain, "The so-called fatalism means that people's fate is predestined, and everything that happens in life is something that must happen!

Yuan Shu had heard Lei Zhen talk about fatalism many times, talking about the inevitability of fate, but he himself actually did not agree with such a viewpoint! After all, people have subjective initiative, and when faced with many choices, how could they only choose one predestined choice? Therefore, he said very decisively, "I don't agree with such a viewpoint!"

"Hehe! It's naïve!" Lei Zhen said with a smile, "I'll give you an example......

"You wait first!" Yuan Shu was now afraid of Lei Zhen's example, "It's okay to give an example, please give an example to be normal, and it's best not to curse!"

"I'm a cultivator, and I will never scold people!" Lei Zhen was a little speechless, "My example is like this: when there are two beautiful women standing in front of you, one you like and the other you hate, which beauty will you choose as your wife?"

"Since they are all beauties, I must have chosen them all!" Yuan Shu said as a matter of course.

"I can't see it!" Lei Zhen was indeed a little surprised by Yuan Shu's choice, "Then let me tell you the truth, the beauty you like is Li Yun, and the beauty you hate is Qingqing! Are you sure you want to live with them?"

"What?!" Yuan Shu really turned his face, "Qingqing is so neurotic, only a fool is willing to live with her!"

"Hehe!" Lei Zhen smiled, "So, what is your choice?"

Yuan Shu thought about it for a while and found that there didn't seem to be any traps in this question, so he said, "I choose Li Yun!"

"Very good, congratulations!" Lei Zhen said, "Then the question is, why don't you choose Qingqing?"

"I don't have a problem with my brain, why do I choose such a violent maniac?" Yuan Shu slandered in his heart.

"So, through this example, do you understand any truth?" Lei Zhen didn't answer Yuan Shu's question, but threw out another question!

"I didn't understand anything!" Yuan Shu was stunned, "You speak, can you speak clearly, more carefully?"

"Okay! I'll give you a careful explanation!" Lei Zhen said, "In this world, all people will make choices that are favorable to him and stay away from choices that are unfavorable to him! Just like you choose Li Yun and reject Qingqing! There is no problem with this logic, right?"

Yuan Shu thought about it for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said, "And then?"

"So, when you encounter a choice in your life, you will only choose what is good for you, not what is harmful to you!, right?" Lei Zhen asked step by step.

Yuan Shu felt that this sentence was fine! Unless there was a problem in his brain, who would go and make trouble for himself? So, he said, "Go on!"

"No more!" Lei Zhen said, "Therefore, for every choice in your life, you will choose the one that has more advantages than disadvantages! This leads to only one choice in your life, and all things are the inevitable result! This is fatalism!"

Yuan Shu listened to Lei Zhen's logical reasoning, and felt a little dizzy in his brain, he never thought that fatalism could be deduced so simply! However, after thinking about it carefully, he found a flaw in it, "You're not right! The choice that has more advantages than disadvantages may not be just one! So, there are still many kinds of my choices!"

"Hehe, have you ever heard of drinking a donkey to quench your thirst?"

Drinking a donkey to quench thirst is an idiom that basically means using the wrong way to deal with the problem at hand, regardless of the serious consequences! After Yuan Shu looked up the allusion of drinking a donkey to quenching thirst, he was very puzzled by the reason why Lei Zhen mentioned this idiom, "Is there anything wrong with drinking a donkey to quench thirst?"

"When you are very hungry and thirsty, you have a cup of poisoned wine in front of you, do you drink it or not?" Lei Zhen briefly described the idiom of drinking water to quench thirst.

Faced with this problem, Yuan Shu fell into deep thought! Yuan Shu had a thirsty experience, it was a big summer noon, he rode his bicycle to a place dozens of miles away to buy things! At that time, the temperature was as high as 37 or 8 degrees, and riding a bicycle outside was simply tormenting, and after not riding for long, Yuan Shu was covered in sweat! After sweating a lot, the feeling of hunger and thirst followed!

At that time, there was a problem: Yuan Shu was in a hurry when he came out, and he didn't have any money with him! And he couldn't buy water without money, and the feeling of smoke in his throat was always urging Yuan Shu to find a water source! Finally, Yuan Shu, who was so thirsty that he couldn't stand it, drank enough by the irrigation canal at the edge of the field to solve his body's needs!

Therefore, he has a deeper understanding of the question raised by Lei Zhen, when a person is in a state of extreme hunger and thirst, he will not care what he drinks in his mouth, as long as he can quench his thirst, even if it is poisonous wine, he will drink it! Yuan Shu said, "I will drink poisonous wine, so what?"

"In life, it will not be smooth sailing, everything has pros and cons! This sentence is not wrong at all!" Lei Zhen said, "Many things, just like the poisoned wine mentioned above! Although, he is a deadly liquid! However, he will solve the current predicament! So, although he is very deadly, our bodies still yearn for his arrival!" Lei Zhen paused for a moment and continued, "So, the conclusion you put forward: when there are pros and cons to a choice, people's choices will be diverse, in fact, it is wrong! People will only choose the most advantageous answer that will best solve the problem at hand! Even if there are other better answers, but they cannot solve the problem at hand, no matter how perfect they are, people will not choose him! Just like drinking poisoned wine and dying of thirst, people will not choose to die of thirst, but will choose to drink poisoned wine!"

At this moment, Yuan Shu was suppressed by Lei Zhen's fatalism! He never thought that fatalism could be explained like this! He was silent for a long time and did not speak! Finally, he asked, "Is there no room for turning around at all?"

"Of course, there is room to turn around!" Lei Zhen said with certainty, "As long as you can overcome the drive of your body, you can naturally do what you want! Whether it is poisoned wine or death! You can refuse to choose!"

Yuan Shu sounded very familiar with this sentence, as if Lei Zhen had said something similar when he told him the purpose of his cultivation before! He didn't expect that after turning around, things seemed to be back to the same place—as long as he practiced well, anything could be solved!

Yuan Shu sighed and said, "Okay! I agree with the existence of fatalism! So what?"

"The existence of fatalism determines a problem, that is, when you do anything, you will do things that do not violate the rules of your existence! Like, you are a fire person, even if you change your attributes and become an earth person, your nature is still the thinking of a fire person!" Lei Zhen said, "Therefore, when a fortune teller tells his fortune, his own thinking limits his ability, and he can't make a better choice for him! The doctor is the same way!"

Yuan Shu nodded when he heard this, "Do you mean to say that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear?"

"That's probably what it means!" Lei Zhen said, "The position of a person determines his vision! Your nature determines the outcome of your face against Qingqing, a water-based person! So, as long as you follow my instructions, you will definitely be able to handle your relationship with her safely!"

After going around in a big circle, and finally returning to the same place, Yuan Shu thought for a long time, and finally agreed to Lei Zhen's request, planning to experiment with Lei Zhen's method, which has an effect! He said, "Okay, tell me about your method!"
