Imagine the world

Sure enough, when he received the news today, Locke found that he was much calmer than he imagined, and it was completely different from the feeling when he received the warning from the paper airplane.A lot of what he said was still a little impulsive, but he was already able to control himself.

For example, he really wanted to ask Lian Na just now, was the reason why he contacted him now was to test whether he was still alive, or was it because Flick could no longer be contacted?But he still held back, and at this time he could not disclose the news of Frick's death.

Of course, Hua Zhenxing can see the content of the conversation on Locke's social account at the same time.This social software can log in on several terminals at the same time and realize information synchronization.

After Locke asked that question, he looked at the phone screen expressionlessly.

Lian Na seemed to have collapsed a bit, or she was finally defeated by a certain line of defense, and replied: "I heard that you took something away. The thing left by Mr. Dawson is a very important magical book. Avaji , did you take such a thing with you?"

Jin Dian Xing in the new era: "Is it a book that cannot be opened? It has a black cover with golden stripes. It was said that my teacher was secretly practicing black magic, and you two families only made it. Could it be that the so-called black magic books? But you Why do you want to get it, do you also want to practice black magic?"

Forest Meadow on June [-]: "I don't know what it is, but I heard later that you took something very important. I don't want them to find you, and I don't want to know what it is."

Jin Dianxing in the new era: "If I give things to you, can you give up chasing me?"

Grassland in the forest on June [-]: "I don't know, it's not up to me to decide this kind of thing. But if you really want to do this, I can help you dissuade them, and stop chasing you after you get the things. But No matter what, you have to ensure your own safety first."

Jin Dian Xing in the new era: "You can't make the decision, so go find someone who can make the decision. Frick is gone, who has the final say in the Fulgan Foundation now, it should be Bo En Mosen, right?

You go and tell him that he has already contacted me, and I am willing to hand over the book that I took away back then.But the transaction method, including the time and place, is up to me to decide, tell them to wait for my notice! "

Chapter 127 The Story of Zaxin

"Some things, why do you say so harshly? Anyway, she contacted you in this way. If Frick hadn't found you, it might have saved your life! You said it yourself, she just You are willing to use your noble heart to forgive her humbleness."

This is what Hua Zhenxing said to Locke when he opened the door. The location is not in the urban area of ​​Port Fiso, but on the third floor of the main building of Palm Manor.Except for Hua Zhenxing, Manman and the three old men, only a few high-level executives of Huanxiang Industrial knew that Locke was here.Even if the Fulgan Foundation can buy eyeliners within the new alliance, Locke's whereabouts cannot be found at this moment.

Manman, one of the insiders, actually only knows that Mr. Locke needs to hide temporarily. This is a confidential task. As for the specific inside information, she will not pursue it, because Xiaohua said to keep it secret.

Beiwan Mining is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huanxiang Industry, and Jindianhang is a holding subsidiary of Beiwan Mining, and Locke is the person in charge of Jindianhang.According to the structure of Huanxiang Industrial Group, the person in charge of Sun Company is equivalent to the director of the supply and marketing branch, which is the fifth-level position.

But Jindianxing is very special. Its parent company, Beiwan Mining, is just an empty shell and currently has no other business.Most of the task of extracting ore gold has now been handed over to Jindianhang. Jindianhang has also invested in five noodle restaurants and enterprises that produce sauce and vinegar.

The profits of Jindianhang are very high, and a large amount of working capital has been provided to the head office in the name of previous payments to support Huanxiang Industrial in acquiring the heavy oil power plant project and continuing to build it.Coupled with Locke's special circumstances, even though he held a fifth-level position, he enjoyed the seventh-level treatment.

On the third floor of the main building, apart from the luxurious suite with curved floor-to-ceiling windows at the easternmost end, the other twelve guest rooms are also high-end suites.The largest suite is reserved for the owner of the manor, Feng Zibin. Xiaohua lived in it when Feng Zibin was "absent", and now there are four other suites that have been transformed into the director's office.

Although Locke's status in the Huanxiang Industrial System is not low, he enjoys seven-level treatment, but he is not up to the level of a director, and today he also occupies a suite on the third floor, which is considered exceeding the standard.

Hua Zhenxing was just next door to Locke, watching the conversation between "Jin Dian Xing in the New Era" and "Grassland in the Forest on June [-]th" at the same time.

After closing the chat software, Locke put the phone on the table and replied: "This is how I forgive her. I expressed my willingness to hand over the book to them and asked them to wait for my notice, then others, including Bo En, All Molson will see this transcript of the conversation."

Hua Zhenxing praised again: "Tell them to wait for my notice! Your last sentence is so handsome, it really has the style of a gangster boss."

Locke said embarrassingly: "Don't make fun of me anymore, there has been no Golden Gang for a long time, and I am deeply ashamed of that experience."

At this time, someone knocked on the door again: "Hua, are you here? I brought the food."

Hua Zhenxing opened the door and said, "Thank you Manman! Let's eat together in this room."

Locke hid here, Hua Zhenxing also lived next door, Manman ran over, and went upstairs to get food in the cafeteria on the first floor.Poor Locke can also eat hot meals. If Hua Zhen is not around, no one will specially cook for him.

Because of Manman's presence, Hua Zhenxing and Locke tacitly stopped talking about the Forgan Foundation during the meal.Hua Zhenxing chatted about all kinds of experiences of this trip, but did not mention the experience of encountering Frick.

Hua Zhenxing said that next time we can go together. Not only will we cook Pianerchuan and Beggar Pheasant on the spot, but we can also have a stone pot fish. Manman feels very happy.The atmosphere of the meal was very relaxed, which relieved Locke's mood.

After the meal, several people sat down to drink tea together. Under the influence of Hua Zhenxing, Locke and Manman are used to drinking tea, not only can drink but also brew.While drinking tea and chatting, Hua Zhenxing asked: "Locke, did your teacher tell you what kind of training you need to go through before becoming a formal magician? I think your cultivation level is almost the same."

His tone was very casual, but Locke put down the teacup seriously and said, "The teacher said that he had to endure the temptation of the devil in his own experience."

Manman asked curiously: "What kind of devil, how did you tempt him? Is it scary?"

In front of the little girl Manman, Locke was still very careful in his words: "It is said that it is not scary at all, but very charming. Of course, the teacher also said that there are also predecessors who encountered very frightening things in meditation, and even mentally Abnormal, so taking this step is also dangerous."

Hua Zhenxing: "Then did he mention how to pass the test?"

Locke raised his head, and the focal length of his eyes seemed to be looking into the distance: "The teacher said that this kind of test that appears in meditation is actually not difficult. The most important thing is that you have to know what you are going through? In most of the magic books, It is said that it is an illusion woven by the devil, reminding people not to be tempted..."

The so-called "temptation of the devil" is also called "demonic realm" in another practice system, which is usually considered to be the refraction and amplification of a certain desire deep in the heart.This kind of desire is no longer a simple and direct physiological impulse, it will be expressed in various complex forms and scenes, which is what Locke's teacher Mr. Dawson taught at the beginning.

Hua Zhenxing asked after listening, "How did your teacher do it at that time?"

Locke shrugged and said, "In meditation, of course, you don't see, you don't hear. In short, you don't get tempted. As for daily life, my teacher has always been single. He sighed at that time, 'What is the difference between an illusory devil and a real person? ’, and then went out for a month with a lot of money. These were all things before I knew him, and I heard other people say it.”

Manman: "Ah, where did he go to play?"

Hua Zhenxing waved his hand and said: "It's not important! I'm curious, why is he always single? He is the head of the Dawson family, doesn't he want to pass on the family?"

Locke lowered his head and said: "I didn't know the reason at the time, but I heard him occasionally say that the honor guarded by the Dawson family will end in his hands."

Hua Zhenxing changed the subject and said, "Is this how he rejected the temptation of the devil and passed the test of God?"

Locke shook his head and said, "He doesn't think it's God's test, it's just a test of his own cognitive ability and willpower. If these two points don't meet the requirements, he can't become a formal magician. The test of cognitive ability is Main."

Manman asked, "Your teacher doesn't believe in God?"

Locke: "Although he has always claimed to be a devout believer, he is actually a rationalist. God is just a concept to him, a concept of philosophy and logic."

Hua Zhenxing: "What rationalists, I don't quite understand, can you explain it carefully?"

Locke: "When I first became an apprentice, I asked him why he believed in God. He drew a table for me. The vertical axis is people, divided into two situations, whether they believe in God or not; the horizontal axis is God, which is also divided into two situations. In each case, it exists or does not exist, so that four combinations can be obtained.

The first combination, people believe in God, God also exists, the result is that this person goes to heaven.

The second combination, people believe in God, but God does not exist, the result is that this person can neither go to heaven nor hell.

The third combination, the person does not believe in God, but God exists, and the result is that the person goes to hell.

The fourth combination, people do not believe in God, God does not exist, the result is neither heaven nor hell.

He does not know whether God exists, nor can he determine whether it exists or not, but according to his rational choice, he still believes in God. "

As he introduced, he drew a square on the paper.Manman also understood, nodded and said: "Oh, so he thinks so!"

Hua Zhenxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is it just these four? Has he thought about other situations, such as the price to be paid for believing in God, whether there are people in this world who can't go to heaven even if they believe in God, and whether there are people who can't go to heaven even if they don't believe in God?" There are other options, like being able to go somewhere better than heaven."

Locke seemed to be choking on the tea, and coughed a few times: "Hua, our cultural background is different."

Hua Zhenxing: "Yes, it's different. No matter how rational your thinking is, it's still influenced by your perception. I won't discuss this issue. Let's talk about the temptation of the devil. It sounds simple, doesn't it?"

Locke shook his head and said, "What I just said was just what the teacher encountered in meditation. Such a test is indeed not difficult. He once solemnly told me that the really dangerous experience was actually a dream he had."

As soon as Hua Zhenxing heard the word dream, he immediately became vigilant, and approached: "I'm very interested, please explain carefully!"

Locke: "One night when he was sleeping, he actually had a dream. He dreamed that he was in a mysterious library. There was a tome on the table in front of him, which recorded the secret of becoming a great magician. On the Internet, there are many classics, all of which are all kinds of magical arts that are only found in legends.

He told me that if he was not very awake at the time, knew that it was a dream, and realized that it was the temptation of the devil, he would have read those classics, and maybe he would have practiced according to the content recorded in the classics.If that is the case, there is a high probability that something will happen, and you may be tempted by the devil. "

Hua Zhenxing asked: "How did he know he was dreaming?"

However, Manman reminded: "According to what you said, if you cultivate the soul in the three realms, you will almost never dream again, and you can understand dreams even in dreams."

Mr. Dawson did not encounter a hallucination while meditating, but entered a demonic realm while sleeping. This kind of test is more confusing and concealed, and it is also the magic of the so-called demonic realm.

People with a clear soul can recognize dreams in their dreams. It is not normal to have such a dream, so it is even more important to maintain a clear state of mind. This is the real concentration and cognitive ability.

The time for Hua Zhenxing to break through the three realms is still very short, just a few months, and Locke and Manman have much longer experience in possessing the three realms than him, so Manman can actually remind Hua Zhenxing.

Hua Zhenxing turned his head and said, "Manman, are there any similar legends in your tribe? How did the ancient priests go further?"

Manman blinked her eyes and thought for a long time, then said after thinking about it: "After listening to what Mr. Locke said just now, I also remembered a story, which was told to me by Patriarch Zaxin..."

The Sea God tribe used to be very powerful, but later it fell apart due to various reasons and was on the verge of extinction. The tribe where Manman belonged to kept migrating, and it became increasingly difficult to survive in the displacement. Only two priests remained.

One of the priests was already very old, and his cultivation level was the same as Manman's now, and he was also in the third realm. On the way of migration, he finally ushered in an opportunity to break through.One day when he was cultivating, he saw a wonderful future. The clansmen finally arrived at a peaceful fertile land, established their homes and lived a life of abundance, peace and carefree...

He told another priest about his experience, and the other priest hurriedly reminded him: "The ancestors conveyed the commandment of the Sea God. It is an illusory and misguided path. You must not fall into it and stick to your pure heart."

The old priest said, "I know, but I want to. My pure heart is already there, and I don't want to continue to suffer."

The old priest became weaker and weaker day by day, and lost his divine power. Not long after, one night, he died sitting on the sand dunes, still smiling... This is the story Zaxin told Manman.

Chapter 128 The Demon Realm

After listening to Locke and Manman's narration, Hua Zhenxing has roughly understood what kind of test he will encounter when his cultivation base breaks through from the third realm to the fourth realm, or what kind of temper he needs to endure.

The ancients called it the Demon Realm Tribulation, which is quite a scary name, but stripped of its mysterious coat, it is nothing more than a dual phenomenon of psychology and physiology.

It is said to be a psychological phenomenon, because it mainly occurs at the level of consciousness. In an extremely deep state, the senses shield the external stimuli, and instead perceive things that do not exist. Theoretically, this is an illusion.

It is a physiological phenomenon, because it is not a mental illness from a medical point of view, but a reaction that will almost certainly occur after the body and mind reach a certain state.

As long as you have enough concentration and cognitive ability, it is really not difficult to pass this test.And if one's cultivation base reaches the perfection of the three realms, one can enter such a deep state of concentration, which in itself shows that one's concentration is good. As long as there is no interference from unexpected factors, concentration is not the main problem.

As for the cognitive ability, it means that the soul is clear and clear, can distinguish the magic world, and know what to do.Since ancient times, there have been methods of contemplation and cessation to break through the realm of demons.

If one has cultivated to this point, as long as one can realize what a demonic realm is, one will usually have the power to not be affected by it. During this process, the primordial spirit will be honed continuously to produce a kind of transformation.

But since ancient times, why have many people described the Demon Realm as dangerous?For two kinds of people, it is very dangerous indeed.

The first type of people are people with mental problems, which may be common to ordinary people or unique to monks.With the improvement of cultivation, but unable to correctly understand the phenomenon that happened to oneself, it may lead to the dislocation of cognition and reality.

It’s like some people with ordinary family background and ordinary ability suddenly get a large amount of money for some reason, and there is a dislocation between self-cognition and actual ability, and life loses a reasonable plan, which leads to abnormal behavior. Even contracted various vices.

Many bankers who set up black gambling games and brokers who engage in investment fraud especially like to find such people, because their concentration and cognitive level cannot control the wealth they own.

In fact, Hua Zhenxing was just a boy in a grocery store half a year ago, so he suddenly got a huge amount of wealth. Isn't this another kind of magic realm?

Another example is that in the past two days, Locke, who was originally a desperate man, suddenly became the heir of the Fulgan family. This is also a demon in reality!

The devil is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is a ladder to sublimate the physical and mental realm, it depends on whether people can step over it.Of course, the devil in cultivation does not come from someone outside who wants to harm you, but from the shortcomings and desires in the heart, and who can have no regrets and desires?

Those who fall into the devil realm often think that they should have had that kind of encounter. Once they fall into it, it is likely to lead to abnormal mental and behavior, at least they will not make any progress in cultivation, or even lose it completely.

There is another kind of people who are also very dangerous when encountering demons, that is, casual cultivators or wild monsters as the saying goes.The inheritance they have received is incomplete, or there are problems in themselves, and they often lack the guidance of the teacher. Even if they have the guidance of the teacher, they may not be able to follow the law.

In the story Zasin told, the old priest was in a different situation.He knew what happened to him, and he also understood the teachings of the senior priests, but he was willing to sink into the demon realm.He can distinguish between magic and reality, but he has no choice to continue to face the desperate reality.

For most of the monks, how to break through the magic realm has already become a very important part of the inheritance. With the reminder and protection of the master, they all know the normal and correct way to deal with it. In fact, the really difficult thing is how to cultivate to this step.

Take Locke for example. He was regarded as a genius boy by his teachers and peers at the beginning, but because of an accidental injury, he failed to reach this threshold after ten years.

Hua Zhenxing was in the mountains and deep valleys the day before yesterday, and wanted to ask Mr. Feng about breaking through the four realms, but Mr. Feng told him that he could come and ask Manman and Locke.Hua Zhenxing was still puzzled at the time, because these two people had not broken through the four realms, but today he deliberately asked, and he got something.

Hua Zhenxing has a rough judgment at this moment, Locke's fire is almost there, and Manman's cultivation level should be a little short, as for himself, it is actually almost there.

It was getting dark as they drank tea in the living room of the suite.In the pavilion in the west garden of Palm Manor, there were four people drinking tea around a small table, they were three old men, Mr. Jiafeng.

Yang Tehong seemed a little dissatisfied and said: "How to break the magic realm, you should ask me first!"

Mr. Feng: "It's because you didn't plan to say it yourself, or you would have told him a long time ago, didn't you? Since you didn't say it, I wouldn't be too troublesome. Seeing that Xiaohua happened to have a feeling at that time, I suggested him to ask Manman And Locke, you can see the situation now, it's good!

I would like to ask you old man, don't talk about breaking the demon realm, what is the era of breaking the delusional mind and breaking the vacuum?Now that the inheritance of each school is quite complete and rigorous, the guidance that Locke and Manman got from their elders should be the best to use. "

Mo Shangtong nodded: "That's true!"

Ke Mengchao frowned and said, "Xiaohua is still young, isn't it too early?"

But Yang Tehong smiled: "This shows that he started early, and his cultivation has improved rapidly."

Mr. Feng: "There is no difference between sooner or later. Lao Yang, you always like to say let nature take its course, why is it unnatural when you come to Xiaohua? If you talk about diligence and speed, some people are born as gods! If you talk about breakthroughs As soon as possible, some people were gods thousands of years ago! Therefore, there is no way to compare the practice of practice, it varies from person to person, it's just natural."

Ke Mengchao raised his brows and said, "It varies from person to person, that's true."

Mr. Feng raised his cup and raised his legs, and said, "I once taught an apprentice, it only took him a year from the first day of cultivation to the golden elixir. I never thought he was diligent and fast, Not to mention bragging."

Yang Tehong: "Come on, aren't you bragging now? We all know the situation. You were lucky. Someone helped him lay the foundation since he was a child."

Mr. Feng: "You have also laid a good foundation for Xiaohua since childhood."

The three old men nodded together and said, "Of course!"

Mr. Feng turned sideways again, looked up at the main building and said, "I came back the night before yesterday. When are we going to make soft-boiled abalone? The Golden Week holiday is over!"

Ke Mengchao: "Isn't the child busy with something?"

Mr. Feng: "Lock told the people from the Fulgan Foundation to wait for the notice, then wait. Wait until this side is ready, wait until they make a decision, nothing will happen in these two days."

At this moment, Hua Zhenxing in the living room of the suite on the third floor stood up and said, "I'm going back to the grocery store tonight. The soupy abalone is ready, and it's time to cook tomorrow. Locke, don't worry, it's just here Cultivate well here, eat bigu pills when you are hungry, I have bigu pills processed with intermittent glue here, it can also replenish vitality!"

Manman: "I soaked more than 20 soft-boiled abalones. I can't finish them tomorrow, but I can continue to do them later."

Locke: "I really want to try Hua's craftsmanship... When I mentioned this, I suddenly remembered that someone wanted to invest and set up a factory in Feisuo Port. I heard that it was a boss Huang from Dongguo Honggang who wanted to open a factory. Yellow Heart Abalone Processing Factory.

Boss Huang entrusted Director Gao of the third branch of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to find Wang Fengshou's connections, and wanted to talk about cooperating to build a factory.He contributes funds and technology, and has sales channels, hoping to provide venues, organize and train workers, and ensure production order.

Hua, you can also process soft-boiled abalones. We can build this processing factory ourselves, and Jindianhang can invest in it. The venue is better arranged, and the personnel are ready-made. I think there are still many people from the Sea God Clan who are unemployed. "

Hua Zhenxing: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Locke: "This is about the dinner the day before yesterday. We talked about it in the noodle shop. You called me to the grocery store early yesterday morning, and then arranged to hide here. I haven't bothered to talk about it yet."

Hua Zhenxing: "Mr. Yang has taught me since I was a child. When I encounter a problem, I can solve it as I should. You can be nervous but don't panic, and don't forget that there are other things. I will say hello to Wang Fengshou and find the boss Huang. Let’s talk, it’s indeed a very good project, why didn’t I think of it before?”
