Angel recalled that not long ago, he agreed to be neighbors with Salum, but he changed his mind in less than a day. Angel himself felt a little embarrassed, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing Angel's expression, how could Nausicaa not understand.
"It seems I guessed correctly. You are really planning to move out, right? Well...it's not called moving out. After all, you haven't even moved in yet."
Nausicaa guessed about the moving. Although Angel was a little embarrassed, he actually had no intention of hiding it, and he couldn't hide it.
So he told him about renting a house in Apprentice Town, but the source of the magic crystal was a bit difficult to explain, so he simply raised the flag of Sanders. Besides, the contribution points were indeed given by Sanders, although
It is a paid exchange.
"I heard from Miss Abre that many second-level apprentices are reluctant to spend money to live in the apprentice town!" Salum showed an envious expression: "It's great to have a good mentor."
"You might as well go and live as an apprentice." Nausicaa picked up the broken iron chain on the ground. "It's too unsafe to live in a place like this. There is a gap between you and Hook Dick. If he sneaks in at night
,The consequences could be disastrous."
Salum also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Miss Nausicaa is right. I didn't react at first. Now that I think about it, a sharp weapon can cut off the iron chain. This is too unsafe for protection."
.The people living around us now are not kind-hearted ordinary people, but extraordinary people and people who are about to step into the door of extraordinary people. They must have many methods to break in. If they are interrupted while practicing, they will also
It’s a very unpleasant thing. Besides, Toby is a bird, so he probably won’t be used to living underground without light.”
"You are one step ahead of us." Nausicaa patted Angel on the shoulder: "When I earn enough magic crystals, I will move out of here as soon as possible."
"Me too!" Sailum said with a smile: "We will be neighbors again when the time comes!"
The understanding between the two finally made Angel's embarrassment disappear.
"I believe this day won't be long." Angel said.
…
On the same day, Angel moved his luggage into the small villa in Apprentice Town.
The villa is located on the edge of the 8th Apprentice Town, close to a creek. Because it is backed by woods, from time to time you can see fearless animals coming out of the woods and leisurely drinking water and resting by the creek. As soon as Angelfu arrived
, I saw several sunset pelicans with huge red beaks fishing in the stream, and several white deer cuddling up to drink water on the bank.
"The natural scenery is quite beautiful." This quiet and beautiful first impression made Angel's satisfaction with his new home suddenly increase.
The villa is surrounded by a white fence. Although the fence is short, it is engraved with magic patterns, so it is very difficult to break through. The small courtyard inside the fence is not big, only a miniature flower house. There is a tree about three meters high beside the flower house.
Mistletoe, the temperature in the mirror world stays warm most of the time, so the branches and leaves on the tree are lush, and if you look carefully, you can still find green fruit spores.
After Angel entered the villa, he found that the furniture inside had been delivered by the administrator and was placed randomly in the living room, which looked a bit messy. Angel spent most of the day putting the furniture back into its place.
, he also had a better understanding of the internal environment of the villa.
The villa has three floors. The top floor is a small triangular attic, the second floor is the guest room, and the first floor is the master bedroom, study room and living room. There is also a basement specially used for practice.
Angel's own room is the master bedroom on the first floor, and the room he arranged for Toby is on the top floor of the attic. There is a skylight through which you can see the mistletoe branches outside. The green color is very pleasing to the eye. Toby is right
He is also very satisfied with his room. He can fly out at any time through the skylight, which makes him very happy.
After settling Toby, Angel returned to his bedroom.
There was nothing in the bedroom, only a bed, and the walls were empty. Looking at the white walls, Angel felt too deserted. He simply stood up and took out the two oil paintings from his luggage.
.
He hung "Traveler under the Starry Sky" on the wall directly opposite the bed. He did not hang up the other "Milk Shepherd", but put it in the study room and covered it with canvas at will. For this painting
Angel didn't know if there was any secret in the painting, so he didn't hang it up to be cautious.
With the decoration of oil paintings, the bedroom immediately felt a little more substantial. Angel was exhausted from running around all day, and he soon fell asleep while lying on the bed.
The next day, when Angel woke up, the sky was already bright. He opened the curtains and walked to the balcony to do some casual activities. He breathed in the fresh air and looked at the dark blue mountains in the distance and playing by the nearby stream.
The playful little animals feel inexplicably quiet and comfortable.
He has no plans to go out today and decided to officially start practicing the Guidance Method. For this "Singularity Scattering Meditation Method", Angel has great expectations. He hopes to use this Guidance Method to quickly enrich his own heritage.
, can successfully save Jon's life after five years.
However, before practicing the guidance method, he must first feel the spiritual power.
Angel let Toby move freely, and he ate some dry food and hurried to the basement.
The basement is very large and spacious. The three basic magic energy arrays are all attached to the four walls. No matter what you do in it, your privacy and safety can be effectively guaranteed. Therefore, many wizard apprentices transform the basement into a personal laboratory.
Angel has no plans to renovate the basement at the moment. The reason why he came to the basement is because there is a small side door, which is a quiet room of two or three square meters.
Angel's destination is this quiet room.
It is easiest to calm down in a small, cramped and quiet room, which is helpful for Angel, who is meditating for the first time.
Meditation did not go well for the first time. Even with the special techniques noted by Sanders, he was not able to meditate calmly.
The first step in meditation is to visualize the mental model in your mind. Visualization and construction are two different things, but they have a deep internal connection. Visualizing the mental model is to better construct the mental model, and to have a better understanding of what you want to build.
There is a preliminary concept of the model.
Although this process is superficially about visualization, it is actually about feeling and guiding spiritual power.
Mental power is an abstract concept. If you want to materialize it, you must perceive its existence. How to perceive mental power? Just visualize the mental power model in your mind, and at the same time look for the mental power that is attracted by the mental power model.
.
That is to visualize the mental force model and trace the mental force at the same time.
But when visualizing the mental power model, you should not focus on the visual model, but focus on feeling the other power in the brain - mental power.
This method extremely tests people's concentration, because when you are visualizing a pattern, your attention will inevitably be concentrated. At this time, it is very difficult to put all your attention on the other side.
This process is very similar to a famous psychological test on earth: "Pink Elephant".
The psychologist told the subject that there was a pink elephant in the house, and then told the subject: "Don't think about the pink elephant."
But the result is often that after the test subject learns the information about the "pink elephant", no matter how he clears his mind, his mind cannot be restrained and he can't help but think of the pink elephant inside.
.
This test is like the wizard's meditation process: the more you want to distract yourself, the harder it is to distract yourself. This is a typical thinking interference. If you want to forget the object of interference, you must be physically, mentally, and
The spirit remains still, and then slowly shifts the focus in the "empty" state.
This is a very difficult process. Ordinary people's thinking is very complicated. To fully understand one's mind and nature, it is a process that requires perseverance.
Precisely because entering a state of emptiness requires absolute silence, most wizards are lonely wise men.
Of course, with higher cultivation and less dust in the mind, "absolute silence" can be replaced by "relative silence". This state requires at least a formal wizard. To reach this state, even if you are meditating in the middle of a busy city,
You will not be affected by the noise and can quickly enter the state. This is the "body tranquility" that transcends the body, mind and spirit, and reaches the state of "mind tranquility".
As for the higher-level "spiritual tranquility", the conditions to achieve it are even more stringent.
…
For a week, Angel did not really enter the meditative state. There was absolute silence, but the thoughts in his mind were too busy. As soon as he closed his eyes and tried to enter the meditative state, all kinds of demons, ghosts, and inner demons seemed to come to him.
It's like having a party in the brain, the chatter keeps going on and on, suppressing this side, and creating a gap on the other side. It's almost impossible to guard against.
Not to mention visualizing the mental power model, even controlling his thoughts and not running away took a lot of Angel's energy.
It was only at this time that Angel realized how disordered his thinking was.
Angel is not the only one who is stuck at the first level of entry. The talented people of this year have all received guidance methods from their respective mentors, but their guidance methods are all very popular guidance methods, which are probably the "Triangular Guidance Method"
That level. Like Angel, they were also stumped by this first level. Especially the adult talents, who are used to the sensual life, and want to completely quiet their minds, which consumes a lot of energy.
More.
On the contrary, it was Saleum. Although he was only 1 year younger than Angel, his character was much purer. He could practice with his eyes closed when he was asked to practice. There were very few cluttered thoughts in his mind, and he was able to do it in a short time.
To the separation of visualization and concentration.
Salum's success stimulated Angel. In the next half month, he simply stayed at home and meditated, believing that he would not succeed.
During this period, Sanders did not take the initiative to contact him. He must also be aware of the difficulties faced by beginners.
After a few days, Angel gained a deeper understanding of the meditation method. In fact, meditation is a step-by-step process. Angel did not want to accomplish it overnight. The most important task to solve now is to eliminate distracting thoughts.
It took him a week to accomplish this.
The second step is to visualize the mental model and trace the mental power.
Another three days passed, and Angel had a preliminary idea of how to separate visualization and concentration. The mental power model of the "Singularity Scattering Method" that he visualized needed to be slowly reflected in Angel's mind.
, turn it into an instinct, then there will be no distraction, and it will be much easier to sense mental power.
However, it is not easy to turn the mental model of visualization into an instinct.
Another week has passed, and Angel's meditation is still bumpy. Although he cannot completely separate visualization and concentration, when he is visualizing the mental power model in his mind, he can occasionally pull his attention away and pay attention to his spirit.
The search for strength.
Although this phenomenon only occurs occasionally, it also makes Angel more confident.
Occasionally can turn into occasional, occasionally can turn into often, and often can turn into forever. However, this is a grind and requires persistent persistence.
In the past half month, Angel's progress has gradually caught up, and he ranks among the best among this batch of talented people. This is because his talent is indeed good, and secondly, it is because of the magic energy array.
During this half month, Salum was also looking for spiritual power, but the progress was the same as Angel's. He could not find spiritual power no matter what, as if it did not exist at all.
Angel and Salum also discussed it privately, but still gained nothing after the exchange.
As for Nausicaa, I haven't seen her go out for a long time. According to Salum, Nausicaa is still fighting with the complicated thoughts in her mind, and she rarely even smokes cigarettes.
After listening to this, Angel muttered to himself: "Actually, I think her success rate may be higher when she smokes." Because Angel found that whenever Nausicaa was smoking, she was very quiet and her expression was very quiet.
It is also peaceful and peaceful. According to his experience in the past half month, this state is the easiest to eliminate complicated thoughts.
…
After finally pulling his attention away from the visualization, he couldn't find any trace of mental power, which made Angel a little impatient.
Another half month has passed, and now it is the cold month. In another month, it will be a full year since he left home.
One-fifth of the five-year agreement between him and his mentor, Jon, had passed in his eyes, and he hadn't even entered the apprenticeship yet, which made him extremely anxious.
On this day, after Angel meditated, he still had no clue about the traces of spiritual power. He thought about it and decided to go to Magic Island to ask Sanders.
The journey to Phantom Island went smoothly and I also met Sanders.
But Sanders' answer left Angel a little confused. Sanders expressed his appreciation for Angel's current practice progress. As for how to trace his spiritual power, Sanders only said four words:
Water grinding work.
Haste makes waste.
Angel also knew this truth, but he was impatient.
When Angel left the Magic Island, he accidentally met Flora. Angel's eyes lit up and he decided to ask Flora if there was any better way.
Flora gave exactly the same answer as Sanders.
However, Flora looked at Angel's anxious look and said, "I don't know what you are anxious about. Anyway, there is nothing I can do. But there is a person who may know, but I want to take something out of his mouth."
