Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

Eat every day, make video calls, practice exercises, infiltrate black eggs with spiritual consciousness, sleep, and study classics in your dreams.
Chen Ze lived a life as regular as a robot for a week.

Although it was boring and extremely boring in every way, he found that his tolerance was a little beyond imagination, and he didn't have too much boredom.

Maybe it's because he has practiced alchemy for a long time, and his xinxing has also grown unconsciously.

In the middle of the night that day, Chen Ze was still exerting force on the black egg in front of him.

Although each progress was extremely subtle and there was almost no hope of a breakthrough, Chen Ze was not in a hurry and persisted silently.

So he was finally rewarded.

Just after midnight, Chen Ze who was sitting cross-legged suddenly trembled, and the black egg held between his fingers almost slipped off.

Just now, Chen Ze's mental consciousness, which had been besieging and pressing, suddenly loosened, as if a layer of window paper had been pierced.

And inside the window paper is a brand new field.

It's hard to describe this feeling in words. It's a bit like a handicraft of miniature carvings. Inside this seemingly ordinary black shell, there is actually a complex structure like a maze hidden.

This seems to have the same effect as the word "Taiping" inside the stone mortar, but the structure inscribed on the black egg shell has no specific meaning.

"Hiss~ hiss hiss—"

Beside him, a terrifying poisonous snake more than three meters tall was erecting its upper body, its head and neck were flattened, and it suddenly attacked the iron cage that trapped it.

Chen Ze glanced sideways, opened the iron cage and slapped the king cobra unconscious, then threw a hare inside to rub it.

A strange scene soon took place.

A pool of viscous liquid gradually oozed from the king cobra and merged into the hare.

After a while, the hare's eyes glowed red, and he began to make indescribable movements towards the iron cage.

Chen Ze disposed of the king cobra casually, closed the iron cage, and went about his own business.

He has become more and more skilled in raising the old popsicles.

Generally speaking, it is better to let it parasitize the hare, but changing it to other animals from time to time seems to be able to calm its emotions better.

It's probably the same as eating prison meals and changing the taste from time to time.

Maybe it was the soothing effect of the dream last time, or maybe it was because this place was at the foot of Xianyue Mountain, and the old Popsicle no longer worked desperately to go to the depths of Xianyue Mountain, and most of the time it was relatively peaceful.

As long as it changes the host in time, there is no big problem, and there is nothing to worry about.

After handling the old popsicle, Chen Ze felt a throbbing pain in his head, so he threw the black egg aside first, and sat cross-legged to circle the sky.

Entering the Yang fire, withdrawing the Yin talisman, the air mechanism rises and falls, nourishing the primordial spirit.

This is the principle of refining qi to transform spirit, but the Yuan qi operated by Chen Ze is slightly different.

The growing spiritual consciousness through exercise also played an unexpected role in daily practice.

Chen Ze has made a substantial breakthrough in refining the heaven and earth Yuan Qi into the body, as long as he disperses his consciousness and cooperates, he can slip in like a thief and directly nourish the Tianxin Ancestral Aperture.

Although it is actually thankless to do so at present, because the energy from the outside world that he has painstakingly abducted is too little, and the energy and mind spent in the process alone cannot be worth it.

But it will definitely be beneficial in the long run, after all, he can't stay in place forever.

Now that he has chosen to create his own path, Chen Ze is ready to endure hardships.

After a long time, Chen Ze finished his work, the ancestral orifice swelled faintly, and the primordial spirit was full again.

After taking the black egg, he started another attempt.

It was a sunny day, and the open space in front of a certain building in the inpatient department was crowded with people, but there was no longer the usual laughter.

Most of them were dressed in striped hospital gowns, looking up at the top of the building with various expressions.

"Liu Bo—" A patient with a loud voice made a trumpet shape with his hands and roared vigorously towards the roof of the building.

The sun was shining in the sky, and two figures stood clearly and abruptly on the edge of the handrail on the roof of the building.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Nurses came in groups, violently waved away from the audience, and got busy with all kinds of equipment.

Soon, a large air cushion gradually took shape and was spread on the open space in front of the building.

But on the rooftop, the two figures facing each other from afar focused their attention on each other.

"You're here." Liu Bo said lightly.

"I'm here." Brother Sun replied in a deep voice.

"You shouldn't!" Liu Bo screamed and fell towards the direction of the building in the middle of speaking, and the same happened to Sun Ge on the other side.

"Catch them!" The nurses who had been preparing for a long time by the roof swarmed up, crushed the two people who had trespassed on the roof, tied them with restraint belts and took them back to the ward.

"Hush—" Some of the people downstairs who were still watching secretly lost interest in an instant and dispersed in a crowd.

This sudden rooftop farce ended inexplicably like this.

At the edge of the open space downstairs, Chen Ze, who came out for a walk, also looked away, and walked silently towards the basement.

It was he who made the move quietly just now, pushing the two of them back with Yuan Qi.

A week has passed since the last time he broke through the barrier of the black egg shell, but Chen Ze was trapped by a new problem.

Simply put, it is a breakthrough, but not a complete breakthrough.

Unlike before aimlessly bumping into each other, Chen Ze's consciousness has broken through the outermost layer of defense and fell into a maze-like area.

Every time his spiritual consciousness protrudes out, and wants to penetrate into the true interior of the black egg, it will automatically evolve into thin "lines", walking in along a series of intertwined and complicated paths.

To put it simply, the black egg is like a safe, and this layer of maze is the combination lock. Chen Ze must use his spiritual sense to walk the right route to open the black egg.

He can already feel the life fluctuations in the black egg, and there is no doubt that walking through this "maze" can awaken the creatures in the black egg.

It can be said to be like a maze, but actually walking without a clue.

Because I was trying it with my spiritual consciousness, the feeling was quite abstract, so I couldn't reproduce it to summarize the experience.

Almost every time, Chen Ze would quickly fall into a dead end, feeling powerless as if he didn't have enough computing power.

It was like this for several days in a row, which made him a little distressed, so he took a break to take a breather.

While walking, Chen Ze passed by the boiling water room, and heard a commotion coming from inside.

"Don't you love me?"

"I love you! But this child is not mine at all!"

"Don't you love me, can't even accept all of me?".
Two completely different voices sounded in turn, as if two people were arguing.

But Chen Ze looked sideways, and there was clearly only a middle-aged woman talking to herself in front of the faucet.

Are you schizophrenic? Chen Zecai turned his gaze back but suddenly slowed down.

Schizophrenia?

Split!

yes!Chen Ze suddenly felt his thoughts broaden.

Since one divine sense can't get through the maze, why don't I split up a few more divine senses and make more breakthroughs?

Just like the CPU's multi-core and multi-thread work at the same time!
Wonderful!

"Stop arguing! I can't have the child's last name!"

At this time, a third voice came from the boiling water room, but Chen Ze had already disappeared in place.

In the days that followed, a bizarre urban legend began to circulate among the patients.

I heard that in the middle of the night, some special patients will suddenly disappear from the hospital bed, and will be invited to a mysterious country as a guest, make new friends, and enjoy sumptuous food.

Zizz, zizz, zizz——

In the basement, Chen Ze casually turned over the steak in front of him, the roasted butter was bubbling, and the rich aroma filled the room.

But it didn't affect the male patient who was posing in front of the mirror.

"Who are you looking at?"

"Look at you!"

"Not convinced? Come and practice!".
He was in line with himself in the full-length mirror, and his voice was full of emotion, as if someone was actually talking to him.

And Chen Ze, who was standing beside the barbecue, carefully observed the male patient's every move, and occasionally took out some maze-like pictures to ask him how he felt.

Finally, Chen Ze invited him to enjoy a sumptuous supper together.

"Thank you." The male patient nodded slightly, and took the grilled steak that Chen Ze handed over.

He was very polite and elegant in eating, quietly fiddling with knives and forks, sending pieces of beef into his mouth.

In fact, his appearance is quite handsome, and he is also young, but he is dragged down by the thick dark circles and thin cheeks, and he looks like he is not motivated.

After all, a schizophrenic like him spends most of his time fighting with himself.

These days, Chen Ze has quietly invited many mentally ill people to supper, studying their thoughts, and feels that these people are more and more kind and lovely.

All of them are talents, they speak nicely and are polite.

The most important thing is to have a broad mind, which provided a lot of inspiration for Chen Ze to study and perfect his spiritual consciousness.

Finally sent the male patient away, Chen Ze packed the tableware, replaced the old popsicle with a new hare, and picked up the black egg to try again.

The consciousness spread out, wrapped around the black egg, penetrated into it little by little, and soon entered the labyrinth area again.

A pathfinder pioneer took the lead and walked into the maze, but they walked very slowly.

At this time, Chen Ze was recalling what he had seen and heard these days in his mind, silently muttering in his heart to hypnotize himself.

"Why are you here?"

"What a coincidence, your last name is Chen."
Naturally, Chen Ze's idea of ​​this little spiritual consciousness was blurred for a while, and when he came back to his senses, the spiritual consciousness had split into two, and they were exploring the way separately.

Become!

In this way, the efficiency doubled, and Chen Ze's progress in exploring the maze was greatly improved.

This exploration still failed, until the back of the head throbbed, and the consciousness withdrew and failed to get through the maze.

But Chen Ze was not discouraged, the process of arduous exploration was originally a kind of exercise for spiritual consciousness.

This time he has tasted the sweetness, and then he will focus on how to split his consciousness to achieve various fine operations.

Near Xiaoman, the routine meeting of the comprehension seminar, which had been suspended for a long time, was finally held again.

Outside the rehabilitation clinic of the inpatient department, Chen Ze was silently watching the scene through the side window on the door.

At this time, more than half a month had passed since the accident caused by Luo Wei, and Chen Ze also ordered the resumption of the routine gathering.

Inside the doors and windows.

"Everyone, feel it carefully." Lu Ling announced loudly.

At this time, she was standing at the front of the crowd, and beside her were two large boxes covered with black cloth.

One of them contained living things, and the other contained nothing.

From the outside, there is no difference between the two boxes, and there is no sound, smell, etc. that can be identified. Obviously, they have been carefully designed.

As Lu Ling's words fell, everyone was several meters away, some meditating with their eyes closed, while others opened their eyes wide.

After a while, time ran out, and everyone selected the code name of one of the boxes on the mobile app.

Finally, when the answer was revealed, Lu Ling tore off the black cloth covering the boxes on both sides, revealing the transparent box walls.

It can be clearly seen through the wall of the box that one of the boxes is empty, while in the other box there is a sleeping little hamster, most of which is buried in the haystack.

Most people picked the right box.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ze, who was secretly observing outside, nodded silently.

Although this achievement, which is so small that it cannot be taken out alone, seems insignificant, even quite ridiculous.

But after all, this is real progress. After Chen Ze's drastic reforms, these people have been promoted at different levels.

They are all Chen Ze's future team.

Chen Ze wasn't too bored, so he just waited silently outside, watching everyone go through the Q&A session, the practice session, and then practice the Vajra Longevity Kungfu together
And Lu Ling has become the absolute core among them, far ahead in both realm and knowledge.

During the gathering, some people who vaguely knew the inside story asked about Xianyue Mountain, but they were all suppressed by Lu Ling, saying that they would have a chance to talk about it in the future.

When the party process was all over, the door opened, and everyone left in twos and threes.

And Chen Ze was standing in the corner of the wall beside the door, but no one came up to say hello.

Although it was a corner, the aisle was well lit, so there was no reason why such a large living person could not be noticed.

But everyone seemed to be blinded, completely ignoring the existence of Chen Ze.

It wasn't until Lu Ling, who was behind the mat, walked out of the room while talking with Ouyang Shaoxu and Cai Man, that she stepped into the corridor, her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Chen Ze.

Ouyang Shaoxu and Cai Man who were beside her took a step back, but they both noticed the big living person in the corner.

thump, thump, Lu Ling's face showed joy, and his steps quickened to meet him.
"Why are you here and don't go in?"

"It's the same without me." Chen Ze smiled and gestured to the two behind Lu Ling.

He just made a superficial attempt by combining Yuan Qi with divine consciousness.

Protecting the spiritual consciousness on the body surface, supplemented by Yuan Qi, wants to achieve the effect of being ignored by people subconsciously.

This is also the inspiration he got from the cover effect of the old Popsicle when he possessed Lowe.

In addition, these days Chen Ze has devoted himself to studying spiritual power, and dealing with mental patients, so he naturally has a lot of new ideas.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad, only the three of them noticed themselves.

And they are undoubtedly the few people with the highest level of practice in the association, especially Lu Ling, who is no longer considered an ordinary person.

Seeing this situation, Ouyang Shaoxu and Cai Man glanced at each other, and sneaked away quietly, leaving them alone.

Although they often meet each other via video, as the saying goes, a little goodbye is better than a newlywed, and the two still talked a lot before parting.

After all, Chen Ze hasn't studied those sundries thoroughly yet, so he still plans to stay in the hospital first.

After sending Lu Ling away, Chen Zecai returned to the door of the basement and saw Ouyang Shaoxu lingering there with a worried expression on his face.

"Looking for me?" Chen Ze naturally went up and opened the door, inviting Ouyang Shaoxu to come in for a talk.

"Hey." Ouyang Shaoxu smiled and said nothing, but he seemed a little reserved after entering the door.

Luggage, dining table, hanger, sofa, mirror?

Ouyang Shaoxu quietly looked at the layout and furnishings in the room, and his eyes couldn't be separated from the floor-to-ceiling mirrors that were added out of thin air.

"Why are you so coy." Chen Ze was not polite, he picked up the kettle and started talking, staring at Ouyang Shaoxu and waiting for him to speak. (end of this chapter)
