"This book is really interesting!"

In the orange-red Gryffindor common room, Clark slept on the sofa.

Around him were a group of Gryffindor students playing card games. Obviously, the business of the Weasley twins was still very hot.

Even Ron and Harry lost the mind to do their homework, gathered around the table, watched those rich classmates play cards, and gave pointers from time to time.

Thanks to winning the magic chess game of Professor McGonagall last year, and having participated in the first test of magic cards, his advice is still very authoritative.

In this noisy environment, only Clark was still reading the book seriously.

On the cover of the book, the face of a beautiful witch is printed. The eyes of this witch are indifferent and empty, like a dark tunnel, bottomless, as if it can swallow people's eyes... And the name of the book is called "Closed". your brain".

"Hey, Clark." A voice interrupted him at this time, "Stop reading, let's come and play two games together."

George shouted his name loudly, and Clark woke up from his fascination.

"What an interesting book!" he repeated.

At this moment, Hermione had just crawled in through the hole and heard this sentence, "What's interesting?"

Clark looked at the cover of the book, then looked up at the wall clock hanging on the wall, the time had already pointed to six o'clock in the afternoon, and he had been sitting on the sofa for two hours, but the book turned over evenly. Didn't open.

"Shut Your Brain, what book is this?" Hermione walked to Clark's side and looked down at the book in his hand.

However, just this sight made her stand there in a daze.

Clark quickly turned the book over, and Hermione came to her senses.

"What happened just now?" He looked at Clark suspiciously.

Clark turned the book back again, but this time, neither dared to look at the cover again.

"This book "Close Your Brain" is to teach people how to learn Occlumency. Obviously, the picture on the cover of this book has magic, as long as the person who sees it will be addicted to it, no matter how time passes, it will be Unaware."

"This is terrible." Hermione exclaimed when she heard Clark's explanation, "If no one reminded me, wouldn't she just starve to death like this."

Clark opened the book with a smile and turned to the first page, "Of course, otherwise why do you think it was stored in the forbidden area?"

"Where did you get this? To borrow books from the forbidden area, there is only one way: to get an approval note signed by a teacher."

After speaking, before Clark could answer, she suddenly realized: "Professor Lockhart, it must be Professor Lockhart! It turns out that you left just to find him to get this."

Clark nodded, much to the delight of Hermione, who guessed right.

"What's this about?" she asked Clark, who was reading.

"Occlumency, a kind of magic that protects your brain from foreign intrusions without the use of wands and spells, is a very obscure but very useful magic," Clark explained.

"As you can see, the picture on the cover of this book should have a Legilimency attached to it, so as soon as we see it, we immerse ourselves in the good memories of the past and forget the passage of time."

Hermione seemed to be transformed into a curious baby at the moment, "Lilimitism, what is that?"

"That's also a spell, the counterpart to Occlumency, which extracts feelings and memories from another person's mind—"

"Can it read minds?" Hermione asked immediately.

"No." Clark shook his head and looked away from the book, "There are still some subtle differences."

He paused for a while, as if organizing the language, so as to express the knowledge in an easy-to-understand manner.

"Only Muggles have the idea of ​​'reading the mind'. The human mind is not a book and cannot be read casually. Thoughts are not engraved in the skull, and it is impossible for people to dig into it and read.

The human heart is a complex, multi-layered thing. Just as cowardly people sometimes suddenly become brave, and some people who seemed brave at first suddenly become cowardly when faced with danger.

We can never truly read people's hearts. "

Of course, this does not include [Psion].

Clark secretly added in his heart that compared with the advanced psionic powers of Psions, Legilimency is as simple as a bicycle in front of a tank.

He laughed: "However, people who can legilimency can study other people's minds and make correct interpretations under certain circumstances.

It was as if Headmaster Dumbledore could almost always see that someone was lying to him, and only someone who was good at Occlumency could seal off the feelings and memories that contradicted the lie, and lie in front of him without being discovered. "

"It sounds like a micro-expression in psychology." Hermione, who had a father who was a dentist, quickly made her own understanding based on her past knowledge.

Clark froze for a moment, complimenting her.

"You're right. It's a bit similar. They can judge whether the other's words are true or false based on one's reaction? It's just that one relies on body movements, while the other relies on soul feedback."

"This book is really interesting!" Hermione looked at the book "Shut Your Brain" curiously, "Show me too."

Clark nodded with a smile, "Okay, but you have to wait until I finish it before you can watch it."

Hermione snorted and turned her head away, which made Clark a little confused. He didn't know which sentence annoyed him, so he could only lower his head and continue to study the book in his hand.

It took Clark two full days to finish the book "Shut Your Mind".

Then, he spent another day watching "Let You Forget Unhappy".

That is, after reading it, he sighed that the salary paid to Lockhart for these two books was really worth it.

Even for his [Psion] profession, these two books are of great help.

Unlike Muggles' understanding of memory, in the cognition of wizards, people have souls.

Therefore, memory is no longer the connection of neurons and the secretion of hormones. Whether it is Occlumency or Amnesia, it all acts on the human soul through magic.

To better understand Occlumency, we must first understand the principles of "legitimation" and "forgetting spell", because for Occlumency, the two are like a spear and a shield, which is an opposite relationship .

It is because of their existence that Occlumency is born.

Legilimency, as Clark told Hermione, wasn't mind-reading, it wasn't that subtle, and it wasn't that great.

According to Clark, it is more similar to the [feeling emotions] in the psionic power, which can only perceive the changes of people's emotions, and it is not even comparable to the [detection thoughts] that can read the superficial thinking.

Not to mention the fifth-level ability [Mind Probe] that can completely detect all the secrets in the target's heart.

Of course, that doesn't mean Legilimency has no merit.

First of all, these are the few types of mind-detecting spells that exist in the wizarding world today. Apart from it, the only way to obtain the secret of the target is Veritaserum.

Compared with [Feeling Emotions] and [Detecting Thoughts], Dementor can also actively detect the thoughts in the target's mind.

As the saying goes, the thoughts in our hearts are often complicated and changeable, and sometimes we don’t even know what we think.

Therefore, what the target thinks can only be received by [feeling emotions] and [detecting thoughts]. This is a passive way. At most, the target is guided to think in the direction that he wants to perceive through language.

However, Legilimency is not like this. It uses magic power to stimulate the target's soul, so as to judge what the other party is thinking through the other party's stress response.

This is very similar to the way that Muggles study the function of brain blocks. They are first stimulated, and then based on feedback, to determine the corresponding function of this block, which is an exhaustive method.

Therefore, a wise Legilimency master often relies more on rich experience, so they will always use this ability subconsciously.

As for the Oblivion Charm, it also uses magic to stimulate the target's soul, but it's different from Demention.

It does not need the other party's reaction, but takes advantage of the opportunity of the target's soul disorder, uses its own magic power to twist and forge a false memory, and inserts it into the target's soul to form a memory overlay.

Yes, the oblivion spell does not actually delete the memory in the soul, it can only overwrite the original memory.

Among them, the novice with rough methods can often only forge a blank memory, insert it into the soul of the other party, form a memory loss, and be discovered by others.

And a master-level figure like Lockhart can naturally weave a false memory that is logically self-consistent, reasonable and echoes before and after.

In this way, the original memory of the target is covered, to the extent that the fake is confused with the real, and the truth is hidden.

Now that you know the principles of Legionnaire and Oblivion Charm, doing the opposite has become the core concept of Occlumency.

The first step of both spells is to stimulate the target's soul with magic, so the first step of Occlumency is to resist this stimulation.

No, maybe it's a bit inaccurate to use the word "resistance", a more vivid way of saying it would be "tolerance".

After all, the human brain and soul are extremely delicate things. If they resist and conflict with external stimuli, who knows what kind of damage it will cause to the soul?

Therefore, the first sentence on the title page of "Close Your Brain" is "empty your brain", which is quite a Taoist meaning of being pure and natural, avoiding the real and leaving the empty.

Get rid of distracting thoughts, let go of all feelings, and your heart is like a tranquil lake without waves.

The brain that he had emptied first made his soul blank, and the enemy had no way to find what they wanted, and the so-called overwritten memory of the Forgetting Curse would naturally be out of the question.

Of course, this is just the most basic way of using the brain defense technique. Simply put, it is to empty your house and let the thief gain nothing.

And a more advanced application should be like Lockhart and Snape, who can even construct a false memory by themselves, deceive the enemy who is investigating, and make the other party unaware.

Seeing Clark here, combined with his professional perception of [Psychic], he has gained more.

No wonder brain defense doesn't require the use of wands and spells, because it doesn't belong to magic. According to his understanding, it should be a kind of spiritual practice similar to Buddhist meditation.

No, it's even possible that they just got some skins of Buddhist practice from their colony India, which is different from the complete set of Buddhist practices and detailed rituals.

The entire "Shut Your Brain" describes only some ravings and paradoxical insights, which makes wizards who want to learn this spell in detail only rely on their own roots and talents to comprehend.

It is no wonder that it is very clear in the book that Occlumency is a very talent-intensive magic. People with talent can learn it quickly, while people without talent can’t learn it even if they practice for a lifetime.

Just like Harry in the original book, as an impulsive Gryffindor, his recklessness was almost carved into his bones, and it was okay for him to be a fighting monk, wanting him to sit down and meditate, almost Impossible.

Perhaps the only good thing about this book is the enchanted picture on the cover.

After all, we practice Occlumency in order to hide the secrets in our own brains. Naturally, it is impossible to ask a powerful wizard to cast Legilimency on ourselves to verify this.

But looking at this book full of perceptual ravings and the teaching content without any level of logic, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to know how far you have been trained.

Only by looking at the cover of the book, and according to the time he was addicted to the magical pictures, could he roughly judge how effective his Occlumency training was.

After initially understanding these, Clark began to try to operate it in practice.

Compared to Legilimency and Forgetting Charm, which also require magical power, Occlumency, which purely uses mental power, can even be used by Clark.

He didn't pick a place either. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com sat cross-legged directly on the soft bed, learning how to meditate from what he had seen on TV before. He relaxed and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

mind empty, no thoughts...

Maybe it's because he's a Psion himself, or maybe he's really talented.

In short, when Clark began to enter the training state of brain defense, his breathing became less and less, and his sense of presence became less and less.

In the end, his breathing was barely noticeable, his chest didn't rise and fall, and the whole person seemed like a lifeless stone statue.

An unprecedented tranquility began to fill Clark's body and mind.

This kind of tranquility is not the physical tranquility in the ordinary sense, but a spiritual tranquility.

It was a very wonderful state, and in this state, Clark only felt as if he had discovered a new world.
