Chapter 463: Who Sees the Big Dream First
It's a subtle feeling, especially the anxiety of "I want to tell me," but I can't, and it's a lot of worrying.
It's like having an insight into the overall situation and predicting fate in advance, but you can't intervene, you can only watch yourself step by step towards that doomed ending.
However, this is the rule of dreams, whether active or passive, since you choose to enter, you must abide by it.
This is quite dramatic, as I often say in the real world: all the crossings are fake, and everything "back in time" is wishful thinking.
Because we are not destined to go back to the beginning with the memories of the present!
If one day, we are able to go back to the past because of some chance, then everything must be back in time.
In this way, we who have successfully "returned to the past" will do the choices of the year again, taste the ups and downs of the past again, and our fate will not change in any way.
The only difference is that this journey back to the past is more like a dream, because you will still "cross" back after all.
At that time, except for the trance of giving birth to a trace of "who will realize the big dream first", and deepening some forgotten memories, there is no difference from the usual day.
Perhaps, this deeper memory is the only change!
However, even such slight changes have occurred in the post-present, not in the past.
This retreat didn't take long, and in a quiet environment, I was able to absorb all the exercises and knowledge very quickly.
Despite this, there are also difficult problems to overcome.
For example, in the process of practicing, the second volume of "The Breath of Haoran", which I was thinking in my heart, was not as fast as the first volume, and I could reach the level of Dzogchen by flipping through it casually.
It reads so obscurely, it takes time to grind and precipitate!
I have a feeling that once I take the Monkey Sword as the core and thoroughly sort out the past Confucian exercises that exist around it, then the success of the second volume of cultivation will only be as simple as a matter of course.
After figuring it all out, I reluctantly chose to take the credit, opened my eyes and looked at everything in the surrounding caves, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as before my retreat.
Suddenly, I noticed that there were multiple messages in the token given to me by Elder Taishang, and when I opened it, I found that they were all left by Yan Yuan and Dewey.
So far, the only people who know the existence of this token are Elder Taishang, Yan Yuan, and Dewey.
There was not much important information in their messages, but more about daily care and sharing of some spiritual insights.
It's just that Dewey's work on gathering the personnel needed to explore the ruins is nearing completion, and he can set off with a little preparation.
However, it was these seemingly ordinary messages that made me look incredulous!
Not so much because of the novelty of the content of these messages, but because of the time they were sent.
All the information came one after another in the inland for three months!
In other words, I had a full three months of retreat, not just a moment when I woke up.
I never imagined that a simple retreat would take so long.
And this is also the longest consecutive retreat since I entered the dream world.
Although it is not the same as the retreat practice of other people, it has already broken my record.
"It's all because I'm so talented!" I thought to myself.
When I think about it, epiphanies used to be as simple as a daily routine, even retreats were as unaware as epiphany, and the use of time was outrageous!
Time is a really interesting thing, and it's always easy to make people feel confused.
Many times, when you think that a long time has passed, it may only be a moment.
Other times, you think it's just a while, but it can be thousands of years!
Like the one I encountered at this moment, although it is not as terrifying as thousands of years, it also belongs to the latter.
After the calm, I thought about my future path for a while.
Although my identity has changed dramatically in a very short period of time, I have learned many secrets that only the top of the Confucian sect can access.
But no matter how you look at it, I'm essentially just a new disciple of Qitian Academy, and I urgently need to integrate into this group as soon as possible.
This process is very similar to the small promotions and junior high schools I have experienced in the real world, and finally I jumped into the college entrance examination and entered the higher university of my choice.
During this period, every change has a process of adapting to the new environment, and every experience is like a landscape in a long life.
Think about it, isn't our life spliced together by such a piece of scenery?
All the way to the end of our lives!
During this time, we will meet many people, and most of them are just passers-by in a certain landscape, and they will disappear in the blink of an eye.
In the same way, we will do a lot of things during this time, in addition to turning into our little memories, it will also push us forward.
And now, I am facing such a moment again, a key node from the old scenery to the new scenery seamlessly.
However, the Confucian academy is so similar to my own experience in reality, which makes me feel a sense of intimacy.
The only thing I can't, and I can't be sure, is that in this dream world of cultivating immortals, the reason why there is such a scene with such similar characteristics is how much influence from the real world is it?
Is the appearance of this dream world the result of "thinking about it day and dreaming at night"? Or is it a different dimension, and I have experienced a soul crossing?
There are many questions that I can't think about because there are no answers at all, or I can't find the answers yet.
"In that case, let's live the present! what should come will come eventually, and what should know will be known!" I thought optimistically.
"Since I have come to Confucianism, one of the three sects in the world, then I must learn everything about this inheritance cleanly, so that I can be worthy of my journey of cultivating immortals!"
"If possible, not only Confucianism, but also Taoism, Buddhism, and even all the inheritances in this world, large and small, will be studied, and the heavens and men will be studied!"
"Talk about the highest ideals, set the best goals, and be the best immortals!" I thought, the corners of my mouth inadvertently curled upward.
