Two Electric Cannons to Settle It

A young man, twenty-two years old, said he felt dizzy on his way to work one morning and wanted to take time off to rest.

The team leader, however, refused his request, citing a shortage of staff. The young man pushed through until noon, and as soon as he walked out of the factory building, he collapsed to the ground.

By the time the ambulance arrived, the man was practically freezing to death. Later, I heard that he really did pass away on the way to the hospital.

I was so angry at the time that I couldn't help but curse the old man in my dream.

I told you it would happen, I said, and he said he'd handle it. How long has it been? Only a month, and it's already happened.

It had been years since anyone had died in that factory.

If you ask me, it's too much of a coincidence to just be random.

After that, I kept dwelling on the incident, secretly vowing in my heart that good and evil could not coexist.

If I ever encountered an evil path in my dreams, I would take them down.

Well, wouldn't you know it, some time passed, and in my dream, I found out where an evil path was located. That evil path had two helpers by his side.

I was afraid I couldn't handle them all, so I invited two fellow Daoists to join me in my dream to deal with them.

Guess what happened?

I put my hands together and chanted Amitabha, because that's all I knew how to do at the time.

Damn it, as soon as we met, that bastard struck me with a palm, and it even had a magic circle!

My divine sense was completely useless.

With a "crack," I was knocked right out of the dream!

Half of my body was in excruciating pain. The pain was so intense that it woke me up directly from the dream, and it took me a while to recover.

I was so furious that I cursed, "Damn it, if I ever meet you in my dream again, I'll definitely get my revenge!"

After that, I continued to persist in my cultivation, progressing rapidly.

But to this day, I still haven't encountered that evil path again.

A few days ago, I remembered an uncle I used to work with when I was younger. I was quite rebellious back then, and that uncle was a bit stubborn, but he had a good relationship with my father. We had a minor disagreement, which was later resolved. He was also very good to me, always thinking of me and sharing whatever food he had.

When I thought of him, I felt a sense of nostalgia and inwardly regretted my childish behavior back then.

I don't know if he's still alive in this world.

And wouldn't you know it, when I went to sleep that night, I dreamed of him. He was pacing around my house. I asked him what he was doing there and told him to go back where he came from, that the paths of the living and the dead are separate and all that.

He just looked at me. I told him to leave, not to come back, or I'd hit him.

He ignored me. Damn it, I was so angry. I formed a Vajra seal, but it didn't work. I then directly transformed it into a Five Thunder Finger Technique and unleashed Twin Dragons Emerging from the Sea in his direction.

The scene shattered instantly, and I woke up from the dream.

Damn it! He's getting too comfortable! I was just reminiscing about my younger days and how I didn't understand things. We didn't really have any enmity or anything like that.

I was just worried about him. And he shows up in my dream?

Isn't that just asking for a beating?

Hahaha, the stories are all true, but you can just listen to them as stories.

Because there's karma created by attachment involved here.

Some friends might ask, "Even at my level of cultivation, can this still happen?"

Of course. Whatever I intentionally think about, I draw to myself. Although I can control my thoughts at will, when I intentionally reminisce about my past, it can still have this effect. However, it's harmless, nothing serious, just a couple of quick fixes.

No matter how far you've cultivated, you must persist. Don't get complacent just because you've achieved something.

You must continue to gain insights from all things, to apply them subtly, and to persevere.

Because all things are here to aid your cultivation.

Even delusions, if utilized correctly, can be beneficial.

The "transforming thought into sword" technique I teach, isn't that sword formed from our deluded minds?

Otherwise, where would the sword in our minds come from? It's just a thought, an image in the mind, something to visualize and play with. When needed, it can be used to break other delusions.

The term "delusion" here doesn't refer to just one; there are many delusions. Every scattered thought is a delusion.

The "transforming thought into sword" method is merely a cultivation technique I created. Its principle is based on the idea that one thought can overcome ten thousand others.

In other words, by focusing your thoughts on one point, you can break through other thoughts.

Now, I occasionally use it, mainly for my own visualization and amusement.

From this, it's not hard to see that to cultivate, one sometimes needs a bit of imagination!

Imagination and mental power are essentially the same. For example, if you believe that chanting scriptures has great power and can empower you.

Then, you focus your mind on chanting scriptures, thus blocking out other distracting thoughts.

My method is the same as chanting or copying scriptures, but it only requires imagination, which is more convenient.

A few days ago, my girlfriend and I were ordering takeout, and a girl was cooking noodles for us. I noticed her hands were a bit... unhygienic. She was grabbing the noodles with her bare hands, and then her hands would touch her nose, then her body.

I was worried she'd grab the noodles with her hands again when she was putting ingredients in. Honestly, just seeing her do that made me feel uncomfortable.

I saw it, what if I hadn't seen it? Hadn't she been touching this and that before I arrived? After I got here, she grabbed the noodles without washing her hands.

Thinking this, I kept a neutral expression, just watching her make the noodles normally. She looked at me twice when she turned around to get something.

Perhaps she felt a bit uneasy with me staring, so her hands became more honest. She stopped touching random things and even added an extra egg for my girlfriend and me without charging extra.

When we got home, my girlfriend asked if she'd added eggs. I said no, don't they come with eggs? She said no, they're usually extra, two bucks each. We had just bought the normal ones.

As I thought about it, I sighed. That girl downstairs must have been scared by me staring.

While eating my noodles, I reflected. I've already shed my self-attachment and my discriminative mind, so why am I still bothered by whether she's clean or dirty?

If I say I'm bothered, that's discrimination. If I say I'm not bothered, damn it, I still feel a bit disgusted in my heart, hahaha.

So, I came to a conclusion: people sometimes have dirty thoughts, and sometimes they have dirty habits.

Her dirty actions caused my thoughts to become dirty. Since I had already paid and wasn't asking for a refund, why bother getting worked up? Just eat it. What's dirty or clean? If you made it yourself, it's clean; otherwise, nothing anyone else makes is clean.

Who are you going to blame if you're too lazy to cook for yourself? Damn it!

If you have the nerve to think others' cooking is dirty, then be diligent and cook it yourself. Otherwise, stop being so damn nosy.

You didn't say anything about a refund or cleanliness at the time, so why are you complaining after the fact, you damn son of a bitch? Right?

Hahahaha.
