Seeing that his old friend was so eager, Mr. Niu couldn't help but whet his appetite: "Actually, at the beginning, I lived a normal life like you, but I found that my body was only a little better, not as good as those two bastards just now.
The changes were so big. Later, I specifically asked them both and found out why they could be like this."
"Why?" Mr. Li wanted to know urgently, and the three people next to him also wanted to know. They stretched their necks like giraffes to hear more clearly.
"That's what they believe."
"What letter? What do you believe?" The four of them looked at each other, not really understanding what it meant.
Mr. Niu did not answer directly, but said: "Do you think animism is correct? That means that all living things have their own spirit, their spirit."
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't believe it: "If you believe it, wouldn't it be idealism?"
"It can't be said to be idealistic. If you regard this kind of spirit as a kind of material, then it is materialism. Like animals, everyone knows that they have their own thoughts, can feel joy, anger, sorrow, and thinking. So
right."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I feel that although plants do not have the ability to walk in space and express emotions like animals, they are the same as animals in terms of life and death, health and disease. So, why can't we think that they are the same as animals?
Same, what about being spiritual? And some time ago, scientists announced that plants can also listen to music, feel the music and feed it back to the body's metabolism."
"Moreover, I also think that besides animals and plants, other things also have spirits. Just like jade, there was a saying in ancient times about cultivating jade, which is to use a specific method to "plate jade" every day, and while playing with it,
Think about the virtues of jade, cultivate your own temperament, and over time, you will reach the noble state of unity between jade and man, jade will be able to channel spirits, and the spirit of the jade man will also be sublimated."
4 people think it makes sense, and cases of animism are actually common.
Some ethnic minorities in southwest China (such as the Dong people) and some ethnic groups in South Asia (such as the Karen people) believe that rice has a "rice soul". The removal of the rice soul determines whether the rice grows vigorously. Therefore, there are quite grand sacrifices.
Grain Soul Ceremony. When the rice is not growing well, the Karen people will hold a grain gathering ceremony to pray for a good harvest.
In traditional Chinese beliefs, all things have spirituality and are living beings. Foxes can become immortals, and tortoises and snakes can become gods. Not only do ordinary people believe in them without any doubt, but they also offer sacrifices to them when necessary; they have even been introduced into classics by Buddhism and Taoism.
, poets and novelists wrote vividly and vividly in their works.
The gods of Jiejiao in "Fengshenbang", the fox fairies and ghosts in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", the snake spirits in "The Legend of White Snake", etc. are certainly literary fictions of novelists, but they also reflect the long history of Chinese tradition and belief.
Deep animism.
"So, since the plants have spirits, why don't you think that the vitality also has spirits? There is a good saying, whether you believe it or not
Anyway, I believe it."
"..."
"So when I was exercising, meditating, and maintaining my health, I tried to calm down and meditate. Not to mention, I did feel the existence of vitality in the end. At that time, I didn't know why, there was a special feeling.
Touched mood. In the days that followed, I tried to meditate in everything I did. Sometimes I could feel it beside me without having to feel it specially. As a result, my body became like this, very
Great."
"It's so outrageous. It just overturned my world view." After hearing this, Mr. Li couldn't believe it. The other three people also felt like they were listening to a fairy tale.
"Believe it or not, you have to speak with facts. You can try it. You should have results in one month."
Even if Mr. Niu didn't say anything, the four of them would still want to try the effect.
Aoki has been paying attention to what they said. After listening to it, Aoki was also awakened by the old cow's words. In the past three years, Aoki has been studying the role of vitality, but there has been no progress.
In Aoki's spiritual world, there has always been a feeling of admiration for Aoki from various animals and plants. It is a thought of gratitude, and the source areas are all creatures within the coverage of vitality. But what is strange is that,
Why do human beings always have only two similar thoughts, and they are not of a grateful nature, but a thought containing joy and awe. Aoki has always been puzzled by this.
Now after hearing this old cow's speech, Aoki suddenly became enlightened and began to have some suspicions about his own strength.
First of all, because the vitality of Qingmu is generated or indirectly generated by Qingmu, all living creatures will develop a dependence on Qingmu after receiving this "gift" of vitality, such as admiration, gratitude, awe, etc. This
Just like a trading activity, if you get something, you have to give it, and if you give it, you will get something in return.
The degree of "gift" of vitality depends on the biological investment in vitality. It is currently speculated that there are three stages.
The first stage is that they/they are completely unaware of the existence of such a thing, and the body's instinctive reaction is relatively slow, so they only "absorb" the vitality very passively, and the body's evolution is naturally very slow.
The second stage is that they/they discover the existence of vitality, believe that vitality can be of great benefit to themselves, and can feel it calmly. They only think about such things from a rational perspective, and only believe that there is such a thing.
The level of vitality has not risen to the level of gratitude and faith. The amount of vitality absorbed in this stage is faster than that in the first stage.
The third stage is when they/them are fully invested. For example, the current anacondas, leopards, etc. were originally in the second stage, but in the process of continuing to absorb vitality, they discovered the benefits and because of their simple minds, they were quickly absorbed by the vitality.
"Luring" to the third stage. In this third stage, what is produced is gratitude and faith, just like Aoki often receives words similar to: "Father God!, Mother God!" in the spiritual world. Absorption speed
It's faster, so it evolves faster.
Among these three stages, there are undoubtedly many animals that have reached the third stage; and Amu, Dagen, and Niu Lao are now in the second stage; as for other humans, they are in the first stage.
With the above guesses, we can know why some animals evolve so fast and some so slowly.
"If the above analysis is correct, it seems that I want to be a magic stick. But as expected of the old man, I have been studying for so long and still haven't figured it out. Now that this old man reminds me, I understand.
.It seems that I have been right to put part of my thoughts on human beings."
After thinking about this, Aoki began to think about the future development path.
In terms of growth resources, green trees have no pressure at all. There is enough sunlight and space, and because the roots of the tree are deep, there is no pressure on the source of nutrients.
In terms of non-growing resources, apart from the indirect crisis caused by the last agent's exploration, Aoki has not encountered any survival crisis so far. As for the Chinese government, Aoki does not have to worry. Besides, there will definitely be a research institute established nearby in the near future.
, and the garrison. I believe no one will refuse the temptation of vitality by then. As long as Aoki works harder, it is entirely possible to develop them all to the second stage or even the third stage.
What Aoki needs to consider now is whether he is developing in a low-key manner or in a high-profile manner. In the past three years, Aoki has not been growing at all. The roots on the ground have basically not grown, while the root system under the ground has been expanding at full capacity.
If he were to go all out to grow a ground branch system, Aoki believed he could grow himself into a 60-meter-tall tree in less than a year. But this would be too high-profile.
If you keep a low profile, you will continue to grow deep underground and absorb more growth resources in order to prepare for the opportunity in the future and quickly develop yourself into a towering tree that attracts world attention.
Aoki finally thought for a while: "Forget it, let's continue to keep a low profile. I don't see any benefits from being high profile for the time being."
