Chapter 217: Practice

When Hugo heard the ideal learning state of Occlumency from Mr. Green's mouth, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, it seemed that this magical art was really not suitable for people like Harry Potter, the first to teach him Occlumency was Professor Snape, due to the hatred between his parents, it is hard to imagine that Snape would seriously teach Harry knowledge without any prejudice, at least he was very impatient, and an impatient teacher is a disaster for students!

Secondly, as a Gryffindor, Harry's emotions are still relatively superficial, because he is very brave to face his emotions, he has no intention of suppressing and hiding them, he is very honest and very brave to face the suffering that happened to him!

Such a profound magical art requires the cooperation of one's own emotions, and the Brain Occlumency Technique requires a high degree of cooperation and concentration of its own emotions, and cannot let the emotions ignite the fire in the heart, so that the crazy burning feelings can easily give the enemy a chance to take advantage of, resulting in the failure of the Brain Occlusion.

But things can't be absolute, at least Harry Potter successfully performed Occlumency in the face of the death of his friend Dobby, there must be secrets that Hugo didn't know all, and maybe even Mr. Green didn't fully understand the secret of Occlumency! Of course, Hugo still has to practice this magic art that is likely to be infinitely useful according to Mr. Green's teachings, and only when he has a certain foundation can he slowly continue to explore this advanced magic.

First of all, Hugo needs to practice to try to empty his mind before going to bed every day, eliminate all feelings, so that the brain is blank and calm, the ideal state is not to produce dreams during the daily sleep process, and sleep peacefully until dawn, which is a bit like religious meditation or Confucian self-cultivation and other self-cultivation skills, so that not only can you have a very high-quality sleep, but also can make the next day's study full of energy.

This process alone requires a lot of time to practice, basically it is impossible to achieve it overnight, and when you can naturally enter the blank and calm state, it is the time to enter the next step of practice, you have to slowly add the emotions that make you painful or fearful in the originally calm brain, and then try your best to control it, so as not to let the mirror lake in your heart be torn apart by the waves that arise.

It's like throwing a bottle of ink into the clear lake water, these black liquids want to infect the pure thoughts around you all the time, the more they spread, the more the thoughts in your heart will be spied on!

A very important part of this exercise is to gradually increase the amount of ink dripping into your heart lake, from simple to difficult slowly practice, and forcibly pour the most terrifying and intense emotions into it at one time, although the effect is the greatest, but it is very painful, not everyone can stand it, and it is easy to arouse the rebellious mentality, and become not willing to practice at all, which is more than worth the loss.

When this step is also completed, then you can already do better when resisting the invasion of spiritual spells, but at this time you only control or limit the scope of ink invasion, there will still be some ink invading your mind and stealing your thoughts, and you still need more advanced practice to completely resist the invasion of powerful spiritual spells.

In the last step, you have to learn to peel off the ink that has invaded your mind, wrap a film on their surface, and make it a completely insoluble liquid like mercury, so that these intrusive spirit magic will be very clearly separated from your thoughts, and finally achieve the purpose of resisting the deception! In short, this is a long process of training one's own emotions, and it is also a relatively mainstream practice tutorial for brain occlusion, although there are other methods, but it has been proven that this method is generally not clear and effective!

If magic such as meteor flying is an extreme challenge to one's own magic control, spell-casting skills and unique emotions, then such as brain occlusion is more of a test of the wizard's talent in managing his own emotions, many wizards are very talented in spells, but it is difficult to effectively control their feelings, impulsive and irritable, timid and cowardly, with a strong sense of justice, Strong emotions such as compassion are the enemies of Occlumency, and only wizards who can control their emotions will be able to master this powerful magical art.

Just like Professor Snape, he can even bury his deep feelings for his beloved deep in his heart and stay by the murderer's side all the time, what a powerful emotional control can be done, so even a powerful wizard like Voldemort can't read his thoughts.

"Is becoming apathetic a side effect of Occlumency? Just like Lord Ravenclaw??Become an emotionless Ice Empress?" Hugo listened to Mr. Green's story, and his heart was full of doubts about this science, and the paralyzed expression of Lord Ravenclaw always appeared in his mind, as if he was complaining about the disadvantages of Occlumency.

Teacher Green shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "Controlling emotions does not mean that there are no emotions, but they can be better expressed in the places where they should be, like a set of tools that can be used at any time, not to mention that I have not heard that anyone can cultivate the Occlumency Technique to the level of His Excellency Ravenclaw, whether that kind of indifference is a side effect or she herself is that kind of personality I can't say, anyway, do you think I look like a person who has lost his emotions?"

Of course you don't feel like that! Your brother's sullen snort can be used as a textbook!!

In the following time, Hugo honestly, step by step from the simplest foundation to practice, under the teaching of Mr. Green, try to learn to empty your emotions, do not practice do not know, a practice is startled, want to empty their own thoughts is really not a simple thing, even if your own thoughts accidentally enter a strange state similar to emptiness, it will also fluctuate because you realize that you have entered a strange state of emptiness'! As a result, I immediately withdrew from that state, and it was very difficult to maintain that state smoothly.

This kind of practice is generally difficult to produce obvious results in a short period of time, and sometimes it becomes a kind of water grinding work, and many wizards who try to learn this kind of magic realize that they have no talent for this kind of magic at this stage and give up, and only a few talented people can stick to it and enter the next stage.
