Chapter 16: Slash a knife
According to Su Lin's own theory, the effect obtained by cultivating the practice of mutual restraint is actually greater than one plus one, which can greatly improve the cultivator's perception.
However, this will also allow cultivators to accept the huge amount of information in a short period of time.
Eventually, cultivators will "see" a huge amount of truths, and the new ideas brought about by these truths will go far beyond the "truth" they originally understood in the world, and at that time, those who are not determined will go mad.
Su Lin believes that the new reality perceived by relying on new senses should not be something that human willpower can resist, which he deeply experienced when he fought against Liu Lu.
At that time, in a very short period of time, he regarded himself as three very different people.
But in hindsight, he couldn't understand why he had that kind of misjudgment at the time, and even now he can't figure it out.
This phenomenon of instantly turning one's mind into another person is called a drop in the Cthulhu Run game.
Su Lin felt that he should also give a name to this wonderful phenomenon.
But it's a little more scientific, a little more academic, like "sensory rampage" or something.
"So, is there a way to stop the senses from going berserk?"
The dim light illuminated Su Lin's side face, and he suddenly wanted to try to use the divine power given by Tianzun.
That kind of strange power that distorts the common sense of physics, as long as you use it once, you will always remember it in hindsight.
When using the supernatural powers, he seems to be able to understand the abnormal new law, but once he stops using it, his impression of the law will gradually blur.
He knew that this was the power of the Heavenly Venerable to protect him and prevent him from being overly exposed to that unfamiliar realm, but he didn't know if the other monks also had the protection left by the gods?
During the day yesterday, in the backyard of his home, he tried to destroy the blade for the second time, and compared to the first time he used it in Liu's Mansion, his control over the supernatural power was greatly enhanced.
But when using supernatural powers, the feeling of intimacy fades a lot.
Su Lin didn't know for the time being if it was because of repeated exercises, or if he had snatched that wisp of red aura from Liu Lu's corpse.
But he felt ......
"Ding~~~"
A crisp bell rang from outside the house, interrupting Su Lin's thoughts.
Su Lin could clearly distinguish that the location of the bell was outside the house, but this sound had an extremely terrifying penetrating power, as if it was ringing in his ears.
Suddenly, he felt a satisfying sleepiness that made him want to sleep.
This kind of sleepiness full of satisfaction is refreshing, like when he comes home from a hard day's work, he finds that everything in the house is in order, his two younger sisters are reading and writing seriously, and his grandfather is not talking about the stupid thing that a woman is not talented is virtuous.
This happy and smooth situation makes the physical fatigue worthwhile, and life seems to become a virtuous circle, and he just needs to sleep well and start the next virtuous cycle.
"Ding~~~"
The bell rang again.
Su Lin thought of his reasoning.
His analysis of the immortal cultivation system just now is really perfect, and the probability should be correct, even in this strange and unpredictable world, he should be able to live smoothly.
So get some sleep now, and then wake up tomorrow and solve those worries one by one.
Everything will go very smoothly, because I am a believer in Tianzun, and I have been said by Tianzun to have extraordinary talents.
Su Lin smiled contentedly and stuffed the secret note back into the cabinet.
He blew out the oil lamp, spread his legs, and walked to the corner of the wall, picking up the Dongying knife, which was close to being scrapped.
After taking the knife, he crouched down in the corner of the room near the entrance, holding his weapon, and sat against the wall.
The wall behind him was cold, the ground was hard, and his butt was uncomfortable, Su Lin held the knife, and felt very strange.
Why did he sleep in this place, didn't he sleep in his bed just now? It's time to go back to bed.
But he wanted to sleep here.
But sitting and napping in the corner will not get a good quality of sleep, and now your behavior is completely pathological self-torture, and there is no reason at all.
What's more, who sleeps with a knife? Could it be that in the middle of the night, someone will attack him?
Really, don't be kidding, Su Lin, do you have paranoia about being killed?
Because you became a believer in Tianzun, your brain is not clear, and no one came to kill you when you slept well in the first half of the night, and now you want to sit and sleep in the corner, is it the wrong tendon in your brain?
Su Lin laughed at himself in his heart, but this self-deprecation did not dispel the anxiety in his heart, he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it, he was restless and extremely uneasy at the moment.
He felt that someone was going to kill him.
But when he thought about it, no one was going to kill him now, and he felt like a fool who was worried that the sky would fall, so stupid that he couldn't understand it.
"Why am I sitting here stupidly?"
Su Lin suddenly remembered that before he crossed over, he had an uncle who suffered from paranoia of being killed.
The uncle always claimed that someone was following him and that the stalker wanted to kill him.
Even though his wife stayed in front of his bed all night and used a video camera to record the whole way, he woke up and could still insist that someone had come.
In the face of the flawless video, he said that he could feel the stalker's gaze, and the stalker used a method that his wife did not know, evaded his wife's guard, and tampered with the surveillance video, so the surveillance was fake.
At that time, he felt that the uncle was pitiful, but soon he felt that the other party was stupid.
A person's delusions are so sick that they distort the logic of reality to satisfy their own conjectures, and it is likely that he is indeed a lesion in a certain area of the brain.
But now, Su Lin found that he had become like this, on the one hand, his reason told him that he was very safe now, and it didn't make sense to sit in the corner and sleep like this.
Just like normal people don't go out with knives, let alone assume that government officials are aliens.
And if he was so wrong, only out of prudence, then he should have slept like this every day, and even kept vigil for it, instead of a whim tonight, wanting to sleep in a corner for the night.
But is this caution necessary?
That would only destroy his nerves, and he would be just a freak in the eyes of others.
"Ding~~~"
The bell rang again, and this time, Su Lin heard the door outside the house open.
The door opened in the middle of the night, in fact, it was quite normal, it may have been blown by the wind, maybe he forgot to lock the door before night, after all, thieves will not pass through the wall, and the evil cultivator from Longyuan County can pass through the wall.
"Smack, smack, smack."
The sound of slow and rhythmic footsteps gradually approached, Su Lin frowned, he suddenly woke up, he suddenly realized that he had had auditory hallucinations.
In fact, the door could never be opened, and he remembered very well that he had closed the door, so no one could come in.
So now it's my own auditory hallucinations.
Su Lin's hand grasped the hilt of the knife and silently pulled out the katana.
Someone is coming in.
But this is actually just your own illusion, you may have gone mad, Su Lin said to himself in his heart.
Put the knife away and get over it! You must not go crazy.
Su Lin was in the dark, staring at the cloth tent at the door, and he saw that a corner of the cloth tent was slowly lifted.
Su Lin didn't hesitate, and instantly got up and waved his knife!
He knew very well in his heart that he was facing an illusion, something that didn't exist, and that the result of wielding a knife like him was only destroying the already rudimentary house, and he could not attack anyone.
But he still swung the knife, because deep in his heart there was a voice that persuaded him with a very ridiculous reason: Cut it! Let's slash it! Maybe it's not an illusion? Anyway, it doesn't hurt to cut a knife, if you don't cut it, you won't cut it.
Stupidity......
It's just stupid......
Su Lin didn't know when his psychology went wrong, it started when he absorbed Liu Lu's red corpse qi?
Or did it start the moment you practiced the exercises just now and felt the sense of qi?
Su Lin didn't want to think about it anymore, he only had one thought now - he was going to slash it!
Whether this thing is real or not, he's going to cut it anyway!
Because it doesn't seem to hurt to cut it.
This extremely funny thought occupied every brain cell of Su Lin, and at this moment, he suddenly understood the uncle who was killed with paranoia.
A picture in his memory came to Su Lin's mind, his uncle in a white hospital gown, asked him seriously:
"I know that someone is following me, but you don't believe me, so I'll give you an assumption, I assume that someone is following me, is there any harm in that?
Would I do any harm if I made such assumptions and guarded against them? Or did I hurt someone?
Actually, as you all know, it doesn't hurt to do that! Except for those of you who didn't believe me, and put me in a psychiatric hospital, I was feeling good before.
To attach importance to this assumption and keep me awake, and you want me to ignore it, but you are deceiving yourself...... Of course, that's not a hypothesis, it's actually someone stalking me.
Yesterday he came, pretending to be a doctor. ”
After listening to it at the time, Su Lin thought that you had become a psychopath, and it was because of this unrealistic assumption.
But now, Su Lin has come to his senses.
He was ashamed to find out that his uncle was right.
Yes, that assumption doesn't hurt.
What harm can be to this assumption?
Whether it's installing an electrical grid in every window of the apartment, or custom-fitting an anti-theft door with an ironcore mezzanine, these actions to prevent being killed are the same as the one he is now wielding his blade towards the illusion - it doesn't hurt at all!
The corners of Su Lin's mouth raised an arc of excitement, he suppressed this ecstasy of giving up thinking, and the Dongying knife in his hand fell suddenly like a shattered lightning!
Moreover, he used his supernatural powers to destroy the blade, just to cut a non-existent illusion.
The power of the supernatural power concentrated the kinetic energy released by the blade in an extremely thin and narrow space, turning it into a sharp gust of wind.
The cloth tent separating the inner and outer rooms did not shake at all, and even if one looked at it with the naked eye, it was impossible to detect any incisions.
But whether it was the tent in front of him or the house he was in, the cut gap already existed there silently.
