0525_clues and speculation

I took the place where I bought the incense burner in Chaidu as the center and the intersection pointed out by Tan Mu as the radius, and walked around.Naturally, after two years, even though the magic circle was once set up, there is no trace left now. What's more, I can only confirm that the intersection is the edge of the magic circle, and I don't know whether the center of the circle is the location for buying and selling incense burners. I don't even know how big it is.

So, let's take a look at the clues I've got and what I can infer from them.

The magic circle can accidentally break into it, usually when the aura frequency of the mistaken intruder and the magic circle fits very well, and the magic circle regards it as its own internal item.There is a big difference in the aura frequency between Tan Mu and Chaidu, so it is absolutely impossible for Chaidu to break into the magic circle that Tan Mu can accidentally enter.

After Chai Du was deliberately introduced into the magic circle, she was bewitched and took away the incense burner. At that time, the thing on her body that looked like a robe to Tan Mu should be the power of the magic circle that bewitched her, similar to hypnotic gas, which made Chai Du dull. , at the mercy of others.

Or, it may also be the power of the incense burner. The incense burner is attracted by the negative emotions in Chai Du's heart, tempting her to take herself away, and amplifying the dark side of her heart.The robe may also be caused by the negative emotions in Chai Du's heart distorting her own aura. The combination of the distorted aura and the power of the incense burner finally formed a shell-like thing, which made Chai Du immersed in her own emotions and could not break free.

If this is the case, then the magic circle was not set up for Chaidu.Both the magic circle and the incense burner were just looking for a random person with enough negative emotions, and Chai Du just happened to bump into it unfortunately.

——In terms of her usual luck, this doesn't seem to be a small probability event.

So the point is that the purpose of the incense burner is to intensify negative emotions, which can be used to benefit its real owner.In addition, there are still some questions, for example, is there only one incense burner for the sale in the magic circle, or are there more other similar things; After that scene, we arranged more times...

As long as Chai is a randomly selected offering, then I'm afraid she won't be the only one.

Take advantage of other people's negative emotions and destroy other people's lives at will.Regardless of whether the people who set up magic circles or distribute incense burners use these negative emotions to practice or refine something, such people and such behaviors can be collectively referred to as 'demons'.

In the cultivation world where I live, there is no such thing as a race of "devils", there is no so-called "devils", and there is no such definition that "devils" are not hypocritical and genuinely cool.In this world of self-cultivation, a 'demon' is a deviation from the right path, an obstacle, suffering, destruction, and collapse...

It is a stepping stone that is inevitable to be experienced, but must be overcome, surpassed, and broken free.If it cannot be overcome, surpassed, or freed, then this stepping stone will become a boulder pressing down on the top, like the Five Elements Mountain pressing down on Sun Dasheng. I don’t know when I will have a chance to regain my new life—or there will be no new life at all.

A demon with a heart demon, a demon who has become obsessed, a demon who has lost his mind, a demon who will never repent...

It's really hard to say how high a monk's moral cultivation is.Murder for treasure, bullying and other things are not uncommon.However, killing people is nothing more than nodding, if the benefits are sufficient, they will be killed, and although there will be people who retaliate because of this, and they will be killed for that treasure, but those are all personal grievances, and people who are not directly related often even look at each other. Didn't even bother to take a look.

It is possible to harm innocent people wantonly for certain purposes, to bully, humiliate, and enslave, and to fill them with living people unrestrainedly for small interests, such as letting trillions of people die for one person to live, such as for one person’s beauty Growing up and depriving fresh life again and again to receive warm blood...

This is obsession.The obsession is too deep, and the possibility of improving the cultivation base is lost, but going further and further on the crooked path, wasting resources.

Well, yes, one of the important reasons why the monks unanimously criticize the demons is that those things are too wasteful, just like killing a fish and only taking a small piece of belly meat, leaving everything else to rot.Do you know how insufficient the resources in the modern cultivation world are?Still so wasteful?The point is that if it is wasted, it will not have a positive effect.Definitely wipe out your horrible group.

If it is a life-for-life exchange, another person's life for one's own life, although there will be some monks who express their disapproval, there will be more monks who will express their lack of concern.But if it takes countless lives to beautify one's appearance, the monks will unanimously express: this kind of evil spirit that is harmful to nature (wasting resources) is crooked, and everyone can punish it.

Therefore, the moral standard of monks is really not very good, but they are more rational in balancing interests.If you can't get up early without profit, they are all ordinary people who can't become immortals.

0527_ Metaphysics

Every serious sect of cultivation has the obligation to eliminate demons.The kind of demons who go crazy are not counted. Even though they are possessed, they do not cause harm to others and are only tormenting themselves. Get rid of it to maintain the living space for the vast number of low-level monks.

Yes, demon slaying is mainly the welfare and work of low-level monks, or the friendly help of powerful low-level monks at home.

Because the guys who are possessed basically have no possibility of high cultivation.Occasionally, some high-level cultivators suddenly get their brains wrong and go astray, often before they have time to cause large-scale damage, their own cultivation level malfunctions, and they fall into a self-harming situation of madness. Then he tosses himself, and has no time to conspire with others.

——As for the treatment plan for cultivating insanity, it depends on each sect, whether it is confinement, clearing the door and directly abolishing or killing it, generally no outsiders are involved, unless outsiders are hurt by this lunatic.

On the one hand, the path of comprehension seems to be very casual, as if there is a possibility of going through any path, but on the other hand, it is very harsh, as if any path has a chance of falling into the abyss and unable to recover.

The way in the heart, the road under the feet, which one to choose and how to go, depends on the individual, and there is no uniform standard.But vaguely, every monk has a bottom line in his heart that cannot be clearly described but that he knows must not be crossed.Some people call it cause and effect, some call it the law of heaven, some say it is reincarnation, some say it is retribution...

It cannot be seen or touched, but it actually exists, influences, and even determines the path of cultivation.

I have always complained that philosophy tortures IQ very much, but in fact, compared with metaphysics, philosophy at least has a logical line that can be clearly explained-although this line often attacks each other in different genres-and metaphysics is really justified The mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable, but she still wants to be upright or flirt with each other.

They are said to be contradictory, they colluded together and reached a consensus, the so-called different routes lead to the same goal, and all methods return to the same goal; when they are said to be unified, is it because two irregular curves intersect at several points, or many points, can they be regarded as a single line? line treat?They are curves, not straight lines, as long as they are not infinite, otherwise no amount of points can determine an irregular curve.

It is a pity that I can complain about philosophy at will, but I cannot complain about metaphysics.Because a monk's skills from exercises to mind, from swordsmanship to footwork, from drawing symbols to alchemy... are all metaphysics, and the more they go up, the more mysterious they become.

Unless I give up cultivation, let alone metaphysics give me a headache, it just makes my head explode. As long as I am not dead and conscious, I have to figure it out, or should I say, try to figure it out.Although metaphysics has never had an accurate standard of 'right' and 'wrong', nor a clear line between 'understand' and 'don't understand'...

Let’s go back to the devil’s crooked ways.

The cultivation base of these things is often very low, the qi training stage is the most important, and the foundation building stage also accounts for a certain proportion, and basically there is no more.As for the crooked evil spirits making waves in the mortal world, they basically didn't run away during the Qi training period. Of course, if there was a foundation building period so relentlessly attacking mortals... the actual strength of the foundation building period is not much stronger than that of the Qi training period.

Anyway, it's all I can handle.That's why the Mission Office responded very coldly to this matter.

Elimination of demons is the obligation of every monk, but the "duty" is often a white job. If it is not your turn to do it, then you will do it, and you will never shirk or muddle along. But if someone else can Do it for me, then, thanks, please.

So I said that the moral standard of monks is really not very good.What justice, what salvation, are all imaginary, fundamentally speaking, there are only benefits and benefits.

It's just that monks, especially those with high cultivation levels, can have a long-term vision.In the long run, only a win-win situation is in the best interest of oneself. Therefore, monks will often be kind to others while benefiting themselves, and try not to hold grudges if they can.Killing and seizing treasure cannot become the mainstream, and when robbing each other of resources, there must be a sense of proportion.

Cutting off the possibility of future cooperation for the sake of temporary benefits, the loss... Of course, if you are forced to a certain extent and can't take care of the future, it is not surprising that you will do anything.The so-called crooked ways are largely a group of idiots who don't care about the future and only want to enjoy the present.

I fed back my current guess to the task office, and the task office said: It sounds like it's going well, so we'll hang up this task for you, Second Young Master.If you fully investigate the ins and outs, you will count as one quest, and if you catch or kill the source of evil items such as incense burners, it will be another quest.

In addition, if you choose 'get rid of', you must provide definite evidence that that person is the source of the disaster.It's not good to kill people indiscriminately.

Bah, I don't have the habit of killing people.No, it should be said that I have never killed anyone if I don't count illusions, online games and other reversible and resurrectable situations.
