055, empathy fright night together
Zhuang Ru's strange dreams for two consecutive nights made Xiao Bai suspicious, and he secretly thought that Zhuang Ru might not be dreaming, or not actively dreaming, but was "infected" by the scene he experienced in his own setting. How can his self-feelings run into the hearts of others? This is a very strange thing, in the past, Xiaobai could only spy on people's hearts, but could not affect the emotions of others.
Xiaobai was a little happy and a little worried, of course he was happy that his supernatural powers were stronger, and he was worried that he didn't know how this new magical ability appeared, so he didn't know how to control it. This will be troublesome, such as frightening Zhuang Ru for two days in a row, if this is really the case, then you really can't practice at home, it's okay for a day or two, but Zhuang Ru can't stand it for a long time.
Bai Shaoliu thought of this possibility but didn't dare to confirm it, he had to try it again, but he was afraid that Zhuang Ru wouldn't be able to stand it, so he thought of a way -- to be honest! People's emotions have risen from fear that they dare not face to fear of physical and mental shock, mainly because of the inexplicable fear of unknown things, and they don't know why some things are born and what will happen after they are born? For example, death is the greatest fear of human beings, and "ghosts" have become synonymous with horror in almost all cultures in the world, because almost the vast majority of people do not know what will happen after death? I can't imagine the consequences of losing all that I have now, whether or not there is a soul.
Xiaobai decided to tell Zhuang Ru how all this happened? She may still be frightened, but it will not be more serious than the previous two times, at least not inexplicably cranky. If this is true, you have to ask Bai Mao to find out why the donkey didn't tell him anything in advance about such a "serious side effect"?
At the end of dinner that day, Xiaobai said to Zhuang Ru: "You sit down first, don't be in a hurry to clean up the dishes and chopsticks." I have something to say to you. ”
Zhuang Ru, who was about to get up, sat down again: "I have something to discuss, is it a matter of the New Year? ”
Bai Shaoliu: "It's not the New Year, it's tonight." ”
Zhuang Ru: "What do you want me to do tonight?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Can you not sleep yet?" I'll let you sleep and you will sleep again." ”
Zhuang Ru: "Of course you can, what's the matter with you?"
Bai Shaoliu: "It's not that I have something, it's you who has something, I think you might have that nightmare tonight." ”
At the mention of that nightmare, Zhuang Ru's body trembled: "I think so too, it's terrible! I don't dare to sleep tonight even if you don't say it...... You know what I'm most worried about? I'm afraid that the dream is a premonition. I'm afraid something will happen to you, and if you have any more accidents, I'll ......."
Bai Shaoliu interrupted her: "Don't be afraid, I'll be fine, let me tell you one thing, your nightmare is likely to be caused by me, not by yourself." ”
Zhuang Ru's face was puzzled: "I don't understand what you caused." ”
Bai Shaoliu: "Do you know that I meditate and practice every night?"
Zhuang Ru: "Of course I know, I've seen you meditate in bed several times. I now go to bed early every day, and try not to move in the middle of the night, whether I sleep or not. I'm afraid to disturb you...... Could it be that my dreams have something to do with your kung fu?"
Bai Shaoliu: "It's probably related, I don't know if you can understand it, what I'm learning now is a kind of visualization kung fu." It's the legendary practice. I was contemplating the car accident for the first two days, and you had nightmares at the same time...... Sister Zhuang, can you understand?"
Zhuang Ru's eyes widened, and he nodded: "I can understand, you can spell, what you think, you can also dream of something, isn't that the case?"
Bai Shaoliu: "That's the case, I was worried that you wouldn't understand, but what you said turned out to be better than me." But it's not that I want you to have nightmares. I've just learned this spell for a short time, so I may not be able to control it well, so there was a little accident. I'm not sure if that's the case, try again tonight. ”
Zhuang Ru: "How do you want to try? See if I still have the same dream? Then why don't you let me sleep?"
Bai Shaoliu: "I don't want to try like that, don't you sleep tonight, wait until I finish my work, and see if you will have that nightmare?"
Zhuang Ru: "I know, I'll drink tea in the kitchen at night, and I'll sleep again after you finish practicing." That's it!"
Bai Shaoliu: "Sister Zhuang!"
Zhuang Ru: "What's the matter? You screamed so strangely!"
Bai Shaoliu: "I said such a bizarre thing, why did you completely believe it?"
Zhuang Ru: "In my eyes, you are not an ordinary person, I am not surprised if you have any miracles, now even if you tell me that you are God, I believe it!" She said the truth, Xiaobai could hear it. Hearing this, Bai Shaoliu also had a feeling - if someone learns a spell to pretend to be a fairy god, it can also be very demagogic.
This night, Zhuang Ru didn't sleep, and drank tea quietly in the kitchen alone. Xiaobai closes the door, adjusts his body, breathes, and minds on the bed base, and enters the realm of visualization. It is still the mental method of the concept of life and death, and the re-experience of life and death in just a few seconds feels like a long time has passed. When the life and death scenes are re-experienced, Bai Shaoliu reaps the credit. In fact, Xiaobai's current cultivation can only be done at this time, and the cultivation of the meditation method is not something that you can stay in the contemplation realm for as long as you want.
Before he could open his eyes, Xiaobai heard Zhuang Ru screaming in the kitchen, followed by the sound of a cup falling to the ground and breaking. The sound is far more than that, just out of the time, the ears and eyes are clear, and the facial features are very keen, Xiaobai also heard the frightened cries from the people next door to the left and right, as well as upstairs and downstairs at the same time. The neighbors were all alarmed, and there were even two dogs barking, and I don't know whose pets they were. Xiaobai never dreamed that he would make such a big mess tonight!
He jumped out of bed and rushed to the hall barefoot, just in time to see Zhuang Ru running out of the kitchen with a pale face and staggering, and threw himself into his arms. Xiaobai carried her to the sand and sat down, Zhuang Ru was still trembling in her arms, and it took a long time to say intermittent words: "Xiaobai, you are really amazing...... I just had a hallucination, and it turned out that it wasn't a dream...... Can you hold it tighter? I feel cold...... You're in your pajamas? go get some extra clothes, don't freeze!"
Bai Shaoliu: "I'm not cold, I'm really embarrassed." I thought you would be fine if you didn't sleep, but I didn't expect it to scare you, I'm really sorry!"
Zhuang Ru moved in Xiaobai's arms, adjusted a very comfortable posture and said: "I don't blame you, I worship you! You are amazing! Just please don't scare me in the future, okay?"
Bai Shaoliu: "I know what's going on, of course I won't let you be frightened anymore, are you still scared now?"
Zhuang Ru: "Now, of course, I'm not afraid now, but just now it was really scary." I wouldn't dare to do it again, even if I knew it was a hallucination...... That's what I hurt in my face, and now I just hope it's all healed soon. There was obviously a longing in her tone, and all the tenderness melted into Xiaobai's arms.
At this moment, from the side of the open door, someone outside the window of Xiaobai's bedroom snorted softly, and then the sound of clothes breaking through the air went away, and the person left. Zhuang Ru didn't hear it, but Xiaobai heard it--it was Qingchen's voice! He almost didn't get up and threw Zhuang Ru out of his arms, his body moved or sat down, after all, he couldn't throw Zhuang Ru to the ground. He hugged Zhuang Ru on his lap and sat in the sand. Qingchen must have seen such an affectionate action! Xiaobai felt very ashamed and embarrassed.
Zhuang Ru felt Xiaobai's body tighten and sit down firmly, and asked sensitively, "What's wrong?"
Bai Shaoliu: "No, it's nothing...... I just heard you break something in the kitchen?"
Zhuang Ru: "A teacup, I'll clean it up...... You're not wearing shoes? Don't come in. Beware of splinters piercing your feet. She reluctantly got up and went to the kitchen to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Xiaobai put on his shoes and stood at the door of the kitchen, and heard the sound of walking upstairs, not only upstairs, but also in the neighborhood. Zhuang Ru also heard it, and said while cleaning up: "Can you think of a way, of course you have to practice kung fu, but it's not good to frighten the neighbors for no reason, you listen to the upstairs and next door, they all get up in the middle of the night." ”
Bai Shaoliu: "I know, there won't be the same thing in the future!" He made up his mind to go to the donkey today and ask him carefully. Xiaobai already understood that cultivation was not a simple matter, not for himself or for the people around him. The white-haired spell is concise and to the point, but it doesn't seem to be so thoughtful when it thinks about it, or there are some things it doesn't tell itself at all.
Zhuang Ru finished cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces, and took out five very exquisite porcelain cups from the cupboard, looking at these porcelain cups, she had a very complicated emotion in her heart, feeling like she was very ashamed, and as if she had finally let go of something. Xiaobai asked: "These cups are very good, you broke one, why do you want to throw away all the sets?"
Zhuang Ru lowered his head and said quietly: "You can always understand other people's thoughts." Before I even said you knew I wanted to throw away these cups...... Someone brought it back from Lanxi and gave it to me, and I broke one today, and I should have thrown it away. ”
Who is "someone"? Xiaobai remembered Yan Xiangli in the original Qian Zhuang, and this set of cups seemed to be given to Zhuang Ru by him. Xiaobai could feel that Zhuang Ru's mood was a little low when he spoke, and he was so timid that he didn't even dare to raise his head, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Just throw it away, what's the big deal?...... This cup is very good, it's a pity to throw it away and break it, we don't want others to use it. In this way, take it downstairs and put it next to the garbage station, and you will be very happy to see the rags, which can be regarded as waste utilization...... Let's go, get dressed, go now, let's go together. ”
Zhuang Ru: "Now?"
Bai Shaoliu: "How many days have you not walked out of the door?" I will accompany you out for a walk to breathe, and wear a thick coat to be careful not to freeze." ”
Zhuang Ru: "My appearance is ugly enough, and now that I have so much tape on my face, I don't dare to go out and be scary." ”
Bai Shaoliu: "It's the middle of the night, and no one will look at you, let's go!" The two put on their coats and went downstairs with cups, threw the pieces in the garbage can, and put the other five teacups on the green space next to the garbage station that pedestrians could not easily touch but could see. Then instead of rushing home, I walked around the community garden.
It was an eye-catching day, there was no moon in the night sky, and the stars were blinking quietly. It was already past one o'clock in the morning, and there was no one else in the garden, and a gentle night breeze blew with a cool and refreshing scent. Zhuang Ru walked in front and spread his arms to fly, took a deep breath and said, "I haven't breathed such fresh air for a long time, and there is also the fragrance of flowers in the winter wind!"
Xiaobai said in the back: "You put on your hat, be careful of blowing the wind and getting cold." ”
Zhuang Ru: "I'm not cold, I'm not cold at all! I feel so relaxed, so relaxed that I feel like I'm going to fly!"
Bai Shaoliu: "If you want to fly, fly slowly, if you like it, I will often accompany you out at night in the future." He looked around as he spoke, Qingchen's figure was long gone, but many people in the building where he lived were lit up, and Xiaobai secretly said sorry in his heart.
......
"The first day it alarmed one person, and the second day it alarmed the upstairs. On the third day, the whole building was shaken, and if I continued to practice like this, the people of Wuyou City would still not be able to sleep?...... Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Xiaobai was very busy the next day, and he didn't have time to rush to the racecourse until after work, and asked Bai Mao such a thing on the hillside at dusk. Bai Mao asked why he smiled: "It's not that exaggerated, you just need to find a place where no one is within a radius of one mile." Now you understand why those legendary cultivators often go to places far away from people to cultivate, right?
"You're still laughing! How could such a thing happen?"
Bai Mao: "You still ask me? This is your innate supernatural ability, the empathy opening technique in 'His Heart Communication'! Your desire concept has just been introduced, and you have made such a big move, I almost suspect that you are an old ghost who has been cultivating for three hundred years." I've seen empathy. But someone like you who inadvertently casts spells on a large scale and indiscriminately. It's the first time I've heard of it. ”
Bai Shaoliu: "I didn't cast any spells, I just practiced the kung fu you taught." ”
Bai Mao: "With your current cultivation, if you want to deliberately cast a spell, I'm afraid it won't have this effect." I know there is a possibility that this will happen. But I didn't expect you to have mana so quickly, and you did it so exaggeratedly. ”
Bai Shaoliu: "You knew there was such a possibility, why didn't you tell me?"
Bai Mao: "How can I care about these little things? However, you are practicing in the market, and you really need to pay attention to one thing." Those ordinary people who don't know the situation are forgotten, and it is not appropriate to alarm a nosy cultivator to come and ask. Not yet!"
Bai Shaoliu: "What is not enough?"
Bai Mao: "You can't deal with those people yet, so keep a low profile." ”
Bai Shaoliu: "Even if you can do it, you can't do it like last night, and the neighbors won't go to work the next day?...... What kind of empathy technique did you just say, what kind of magic power is it?" Bai Mao was very patient and explained to him carefully. "He has a heart" can be divided into three types in terms of utility. They are empathy, empathy, and openness.
The so-called empathy is to peek into people's hearts and be able to feel the emotions in the hearts of others. Xiao Baisheng is good at growing this way, and now he has mastered it very well, and here his heart is actually spying on the seven emotions and six desires. People's thoughts or behaviors are caused by a certain emotion or **, so they can empathize and know people.
The so-called empathy, which is more magical, is the ability to penetrate a certain emotion or feeling into the minds of others. He was born with a psychic ability and was able to transmit certain emotions of his own to another person, but the empathy that a cultivator with advanced mana was proficient in was even more subtle. Cultivators have their own hearts. It can superimpose an emotion or ** in a person's mind to achieve the purpose of influencing the words and deeds of others.
In addition to empathy and empathy, the most mysterious one of his mental powers is called opening the door. The so-called opening is to open the heart and let others in. You can unfold a scene from your mind or a thought activity to the other person. According to Bai Mao's explanation, Bai Shaoliu touched the two magical spells of 'empathy' and 'opening the door' at the same time last night, since he let the people around him "see" the scenes he experienced in his view, he also infected the terrifying atmosphere and emotions into the divine consciousness of those people.
The two gods of empathy and openness are usually used together without distinction, so they are collectively called empathy opening. Unless they are born with this ability, or the realm has reached the master-level cultivation master with sufficient supernatural powers, the vast majority of cultivators generally do not possess this kind of supernatural power, let alone ordinary people. Interestingly, the ghosts and ghosts and other yin things in the world often have this kind of magical power, which is often used to confuse people in the world. In this way, Xiaobai also has the excellent potential to pretend to be a ghost and charming.
Modern Western psychologists have also created practical techniques such as hypnosis and intentional dialogue, and through techniques such as synchronous communication with the mind of the person being performed, it is also possible to achieve an effect similar to that of the other party's mind without the other party's consciousness. But this is different from the cultivation of supernatural powers, because it requires the active cooperation of the other party, and Xiaobai's spiritual powers can not care whether others agree or not.
