Breathe--breathe--breathe--

Relax your muscles, relax your spirit, empty your mind, call yourself the Five Listeners, and let your mind fall into a dead silence.

Then, find something to think about.

This is actually a very strange situation. Wang Qi is thinking, but doesn't know what to think about.

Strange...

This emotion appeared in Wang Qi's heart, and then gradually expanded. Thinking with this emotion as the core began.

Finally, Wang Qi "thought" out a sentence

This is really a strange state...

Wang Qi thought so, and then his consciousness was violently ejected from the darkness and returned to the body.

Wang Qi shook his head and sighed, "It still doesn't work."

This is his third day of practicing the soul forging method given by Chen Feng.

As Chen Feng said, this soul-forging method is very ordinary in all aspects. It is not quick to use, and it cannot make the soul become as strong as an iron wall, not afraid of attacks from the soul, nor can it make people go through Li Rongpei without getting tired even if they don't sleep.

Its only feature is to enhance the power of the soul. In addition, it does not have any impact on the soul - it will not even enrich the soul with any special properties. Because its compatibility is very high. Even a freak like Wang Qi, who has practiced countless mental techniques, can practice it, and there is no need to adjust his own practice system for it.

Wang Qi had only been practicing for three days, and he felt that his energy began to be full, and there was a different kind of strength accumulating in his body that was different from Law Power.

Wang Qi opened his eyes and found Chen Feng and Chen Youjia sitting opposite each other, drinking tea. Chen Youjia picked up a piece of tea cake from the table and stuffed it into his mouth without taking a sip of tea. Chen Feng just looked at Wang Qi with strange eyes, completely forgetting the existence of the teacup in his hand.

Wang Qi unceremoniously grabbed a piece of refreshment from Chen Youjia, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Feng shook his head. "It's nothing, it's just the first time I've seen someone master the soul forging method <<Qu Jian Ji>> so quickly."

Wang Qi is a little strange. "It's not about imagining the wind, flowers, snow and moon, so why did you choose such a literary name?"

And it's so stylish! Except for <<Tian Ge Xing>>, I've never seen a more artistic name!

Chen Feng thought about it and asked, "You know the meaning of the word 'Lingbao', right? In the theory of human heart, it usually means 'I', which is the 'I' that we can realize and grasp."

"Then have you ever thought about where 'Lingbao' or 'I' come from?"

Wang Qi replied, "I personally prefer this explanation - Lingxi is combined into an organic whole in the form of negative entropy, but I don't know how to combine it specifically."

Chen Feng stretched out a finger. "Then listen to my point of view. Thinking, your thinking, and any other thinking, are actually the synthesis of those competing neural sub-functions and soul functions. It is not a single-level concept, but a composite thing."

"There may be a 'original' and 'moral' part to it," Wang Qi said.

"I know, this is what I'm going to say next." Chen Feng pressed his hand down. "So, which part is the 'Lingbao'? Myriad Dharma Sect's Senior Demon Flute Kerr of Heavenly Position Instead, he came up with an interesting theory - this 'spiritual treasure' is for storage. It is completely empty inside and has nothing to do with memory or knowledge. The soul that constitutes 'sex' is just a troupe singing in it according to the script."

Wang Qi frowned. He seemed to have heard similar theories on Earth, but he couldn't remember the details.

This is actually a very famous concept in philosophy and psychology, the Cartesian Theater - a room of consciousness and thinking. It is in this theater that the different clues necessary for a certain thinking are gathered, combined with each other and transformed in an appropriate way. This theater It is a relic of mind-body dualism. In the era of Wang Qi, this argument has become a modern philosophical instrument, but it is still subtly rooted in human thinking about consciousness - human thinking mode makes the brain innately willing to believe in the existence of Cartesian theater.

But soon, Wang Qi figured out the purpose of Chen Feng's mention of this philosophical theory. He asked, "I seemed to have forgotten the knowledge I had learned just now, and the purpose... it has nothing to do with memory or emotions?"

"It is precisely because this thinking mode is very similar to the theory of the 'theater' that this is called <<Qu Jian Ji>>." Chen Feng said, "This is very similar to the original meditation method, which suppresses the brain's thinking and forces the soul to be active, but this is more extreme. It directly shuts down part of the brain's functions, so that you can only think with your soul."

"Then what about the past memories?"

"The soul does not bear the function of 'memory' because it is unstable and not suitable for memory. Since there is a lot of interaction between the soul and the brain in daily life, many memories are also backed up in the soul, but once it becomes three-dimensional, the soul will lose a large number of memories. This is only possible after Nascent Soul or Primordial Spirit Will change." Chen Feng explained, "Memory is done by the brain, which is the same for most Demon Race. Brainless low-level creatures and insects with too small brains rely on their souls to remember from the beginning - which makes it difficult for them to open their souls, but once their souls are opened, they are extremely powerful."

It turns out that there is a scientific basis for setting the Queen of Blades to be a spiritual master...

Wang Qi first complained in his mind, and then started to think about another question that seemed like a philosophical question.

How did I come into this world?

The physical laws of the previous universe did not allow the existence of "souls" at all, and China's theory proves that organs like souls are not suitable for preserving memories.

Therefore, I definitely did not come to China through "soul travel".

Could it be that I was actually a native resident of China, and then gained the memory of an earth scientist. As a result, all the plays in "Wang Qi's Descartes Theater" were played by earth scientists, leading to my own cognitive errors?

Wang Qi music gives me a headache. This seems to be a pure philosophical sophistry again.

Chen Feng saw that he was thinking very seriously, so he asked, "Now that I have explained the principle to you, you should have some idea, right? As for why you got started with this so quickly."

Wang Qi Now I understand the true principle of this soul-forging method - clear the Descartes Theater, and then "write" the play yourself to improve the "ability" of the "writer".

In fact, he had done similar thinking - in Dabai Village, his soul was disturbed by the entropy demon, and his memory was in chaos and could not be relied upon. At that time, he relied on the last bit of clarity to reshape his logic.

This is very similar to the idea of <<Qu Jian Ji>>.

It was precisely because of one experience that he was able to get started so quickly.

Looking at Chen Feng's curious eyes, Wang Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head. This matter is a secret of the Immortal Alliance. Talking about it will cause Xiaoyao-level beings to be silenced, so he really can't say it.

Chen Feng looked at the sky. "Okay, the lunch break is over. You and I will go to the empirical department to do empirical experiments for half an hour, and then come back and process the data with the junior sister."

Wang Qi heard this and let out a cry, "Boss, please deduct a little salary from me... I really don't want to do proof! Especially Path of Living Beings!"

"You made an advance before, don't even think about making such a request now!"
