vs 173 The solution of the demons
If he was just a simple cultivator or an astrologist, Xin Yu would definitely not think about the future path. Because for practitioners, cultivation is their all, and the higher and highest state of cultivation is their goal. Xin Yu is a practitioner himself, and after tasting the "pleasure" brought by practice, his interest in cultivation is also very high, and his pursuit of a higher realm is also very firm.
But Xin Yu is not a simple cultivator, he is a living human being first, and then a cultivator. The relationship and order between the two cannot be reversed, because it involves philosophical reflections on the meaning of life.
In Xin Yu's view, if you just pay attention to cultivation and regard cultivation as the only thing in your life, then, no matter what achievements you achieve, it is actually no different from those cultivation machines that have no ego of their own. Therefore, although cultivation is very important, how to make one's life more meaningful is the most important.
In other words, Xin Yu wants to find a career that belongs to his inner heart in addition to his cultivation...... Although Xin Yu's attitude towards cultivation is very pious, and he has never wavered in his thoughts, just like he is unwilling to be a slave of cultivation, cultivation can be regarded as the main line of life, but life cannot be equated with cultivation.
So, during this holiday, when he felt that he had eliminated all the "thoughts" of the past, he felt that there was nothing worth looking back on...... In fact, in the final analysis, Xin Yu's relaxation of himself this time is not a meaningless rest, nor is it entirely a practice for the sake of rest. At the very least, after relaxing his spirit, it was easier for him to recall what other things in his two lives, even if they were small, which ones needed his attention...... Pay attention to whether there is a psychology such as regret, lest at some point in the future, especially at a critical moment, these negative emotions will be amplified and eventually turn into fatal demons.
At present, it seems that including the previous life, although Xin Yu does not have any negative emotions such as regrets, it is all inconsequential things after all. Such a small problem can be smoothed out after just a deep relaxation.
Speaking of which, even if Xin Yu discovers a major negative or dark psychological problem, for now, he can't solve it. On the one hand, the so-called past cannot be traced, and there is something in this life that he needs to make up...... Including some cause and effect that need to be resolved, it can be solved slowly. But the things in the previous life are more troublesome, if he can't overcome the pressure in his heart, or after the things in his past life cause the demons in his heart, he can successfully overcome himself, then it is impossible to improve in this life.
Therefore, speaking of which, although Xin Yu was reborn with the memories of his previous life, it seems that he has to be favored by the Heavenly Dao more than everyone else, and he can have self-awareness from birth, and he has won many people at the starting line. Moreover, the civilization of this world is very different from the previous life, Xin Yu is equivalent to having the knowledge reserve of two worlds, which can allow him to play an excellent level in any field, so as to stand on a higher height.
But is it true that there are no flaws at all in rebirth or through rebirth? Obviously not, for example, the demon of the heart, you can know by looking at the name, this thing is a demon born from the heart, if a person's heart is mellow and leaky, naturally it is impossible to give birth to any inner demon.
But there is simply no such psychologically strong human being in the world...... At least Xin Yu has never heard of intelligent creatures who can be indifferent to anything, even those plants that are immortal in Zhiyi's novels, they will have all kinds of thoughts, how can they always maintain a stable state of mind?
Not to mention human beings who have complex thoughts, perhaps many people have always been able to grasp their inner thoughts like the surface of calm and waveless backwater. However, at some point in the practice, when the practitioner's heart becomes extremely sensitive, or the practitioner does not have much awareness to guard against the emergence of emotions, then the appearance of inner demons becomes logical.
For Xin Yu, the heart demon is actually not terrible, in many cultivation categories, the heart demon is even a whetstone that sharpens the psyche and soul of a cultivator. Therefore, as long as the power of the inner demon is not too huge, then it is actually okay.
However, the reason why the heart demon is talked about by cultivators, and why it is named with the word "demon", can be known that its power is not something that cultivators can challenge if they want to. Even if many geniuses consciously use their hearts and demons to improve their spiritual realm, they are actually cautious, even under the protection of extremely close teachers, relatives and friends, before they dare to stop at a shallow taste.
Therefore, although Xin Yu does not have the psychology of fear of the heart demon because he is afraid of the heart demon, he will not desire the heart demon either. In fact, for the vast majority of cultivators, if they can avoid inner demons, there will definitely be no one who can "create" inner demons.
The reason for this is that if the power of the inner demon is not strong enough, it can indeed play a sharpening role, but if the negative emotions generated by the inner demon are very intense, then it is very likely that the moment the inner demon is born, the cultivator will fall.
As mentioned earlier, Xin Yu was reborn into this world through time, and if something in this life caused him to have a negative emotional experience, he could still make up for it through some ways to make up for it, even if it could not completely eliminate the possibility of generating demons, at least it could reduce the power of demons.
But the previous life is too far away from this life, if in the previous life, Xin Yu encountered a negative experience that could produce powerful demons, then no matter what he did, it would be impossible to change what had happened in the past, and it would be impossible to return to the earth in the previous life and make up for something.
All he can do is build his heart and make himself immune to those things in a way similar to self-hypnosis...... If it's not a big deal, a completely empty combing like Xin Yu can solve the problem of demons. After all, no matter how infinitely magnified the trivial things are, it is impossible to form a fatal demon.
But if things are "big", Xin Yu can't do anything...... This is actually a defect of traveling through another world with memories, and it is a very serious defect.
Fortunately, although Xin Yu was not smooth sailing in his previous life, even because of his body, his life has not been very satisfactory. However, he can't do everything he wants, but he can do what he likes to do selectively, and because the group of people he contacts is relatively narrow, even if something unsatisfactory or causes him to have a negative shadow, it is only something that is too small to ignore.
Speaking of which, it is also thanks to Xin Yu that he didn't have anything particularly to worry about in his previous life, if his parents in his previous life paid more attention to him and made him have a particularly close relationship, it would really be a troublesome thing.
Of course, because he didn't enjoy enough father's love and mother's love in his previous life, Xin Yu will definitely have regrets, but because he "lived" his childhood again in this life, these regrets in his previous life have also been made up, and in this in-depth combing, he has "cleaned up" all those subtle psychological flaws that are easy to cause demons. This is probably the luckiest thing for Xin Yu, being able to enjoy the benefits of crossing, but not having to bear the disadvantages of crossing, is a good thing.
And although Xin Yu's life in this life has some ups and downs, there is no special negative emotion that is easy to cause demons...... Probably the only thing that is easy to induce the immortality of the demons, that is, the parents of ordinary people who absolutely can't give up, right?
Fortunately, for now, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua are still alive and healthy, and the ocean country created by Xin Yu shows no signs of decline. Even if at some point in the future, one's relatives and the country that he has built with one hand will eventually disappear with the passage of time, it is also in line with the objective law...... There may be negative emotions such as sadness, but the demons formed by them probably can't be fatal in an instant, right?
After solving the previous things that were easy to cause demons, Xin Yu's heart was relieved...... Speaking of which, it's not that Xin Yu didn't think about this aspect before, it's just that because he was not an orthodox monk, and he didn't have any education in cultivation in his previous life, he had some ...... about this issue that only needed to be considered when he reached a certain realm It's not enough to say that it's indifferent, in short, it's because I don't have experience, so I don't pay special attention to it.
In these two years, Xin Yu has lived a relatively smooth life in both his past life and this life, even in the first few years of his birth in this life, he has had some difficult days, but in general, he is relatively calm. Although anything can cause hidden negative effects on people, which can trigger demons at some stage of the practice. But the negative emotions that are really amplified by the inner demons must also be the most impressive thing for the monk, and there is no indelible impression, even if it may lead to the emergence of inner demons, it is not a big deal.
Similar to this relaxation that solves all the problems at one time, Xin Yu smoothed out all the previous "old accounts", and naturally felt extremely relaxed, coupled with a little fatigue caused by the busyness of this life all the time, in the process of complete relaxation, he was completely relieved and released. It's as if the "loopholes" accumulated in one's life have been filled up all at once, and he has returned to a perfect "innate" state.
This is something to be happy about, but it also gives him a wake-up call. In the "ignorance" before, perhaps because the level of contact was relatively low, he encountered fewer things, and his strength improved relatively quickly, so he luckily did not have any "loopholes" that he needed to worry about.
However, the so-called "mirror of thought needs to be wiped off from time to time to wipe away the dust in the heart". Even ordinary people can be "sublimated" by summarizing their experiences from time to time, let alone cultivators. And on the road of life, it is not enough to always look back on the past, that is to say, just making up for it after the fact is only a remedy.
For practitioners, because life is too long, regular "self-examination" can indeed avoid problems caused by some details that they have overlooked...... Just like Xin Yu, being completely empty is a kind of introspective action.
Doing so can indeed save the practitioner from a lot of minor problems. However, this kind of so-called introspection can only allow the practitioner to avoid some small problems, and if it is too large emotional fluctuations and the negative effects caused by some major events, it is not so simple to solve.
The real best thing to do is to avoid the "dust" falling on the mind. However, this is easier said than done, and it is impossible for practitioners to limit their scope of activity to a very small area in order to increase their knowledge. Even in Taoism, there are many so-called hermitages...... But that kind of retreat is only aimed at ordinary people's society or to avoid falling into the "red dust", not to hide in the mountains, become like primitive animals, and live an isolated life.
On the contrary, any practitioner is first and foremost a social person, and then a practitioner, so there must be an exchange of actions and thoughts. It's just that most of the cultivators who deal with them must also be cultivators, so there is a situation where ordinary people rarely see "traces of immortals".
Since communication is required, practitioners are bound to encounter all kinds of monks...... And those who can have a negative impact on practitioners are precisely those who are in the same or even higher realm. Normally, if there is a dispute or the like, it is more likely to produce so-called "dust". This is something that cannot be avoided, and even if a practitioner can avoid evil to a certain extent, in his long life, he will always encounter one or two events that have a great impact on him.
Therefore, after Xin Yu "woke up", he was not in a hurry to enter the "empty" state of not wanting to do anything again, but began to seriously think about how to go in the future in order to be more stable...... Whether it's in practice or in life.
In practice, how to avoid the negative effects that can produce demons in the mind. In fact, seriously speaking, it is not necessarily only those bad things that give birth to the demons, sometimes it is easy to be used by the demons if they are too affectionate and too devoted, but then it is necessary to test whether the cultivator's will is firm. In general, if a person always has more good thoughts than bad thoughts, it is still very advantageous in this regard.
The other is that in life, how to choose his own state of life, how to grasp the balance between practice and other things, he needs to plan well.
You don't need to think about things that are too far away, but you need to plan for things in the near future......
