Chapter 88 Visualization
"Enzos, you must learn to control your emotions, otherwise one day you will be swallowed by the devil's crazy will and lose yourself." Jiayi said to Enzos who had barely controlled himself in front of him and pulled him back from the brink of violence.
He is still wearing a hood. So far, this adventurer team does not know what Enzos's savior looks like, and they don't even know their name. Enzos looked guilty and a little helpless.
"Master, this is too difficult. I feel a flame in my heart, thinking about burning and growing. As long as I fight, I can't control my emotions at all. Even if I compete with Enti and others in an ordinary way, I can't control myself."
They have now left the deserted rock beach and came to the underground volcano, far away from Eternal Night City. Under the pressure of Enzos' breath, the only fire monsters will not disturb them. The underground volcano is the heat source of Eternal Night City. It can almost be regarded as the most important place in the dungeon, but it is also the most desolate place. There is no need, and few people will come here.
There is no need to worry about safety here, even legends have little way to completely extinguish a volcano, let alone the endless geothermal heat below the volcano.
Although Enzos woke up, the sequelae that inspired the blood of the Fire Demon was far from being eliminated. The Taurus himself had a talent for violence, but the Taurus was naturally gentle and could control himself and would not enter a violent state at will. However, the blood of the Flaurus inspired by Enzos was originally a very powerful but chaotic bloodline. After combining with the violent talent of the Taurus, it made him more likely to become crazy. After the violent, Enzos became stronger, but he also completely lost control.
Now, as soon as he is stimulated, he will fall into a violent state involuntarily and it is almost difficult to wake up. Apart from Jiayi using spells to force his will, he can only escape when he is exhausted and faints from exhaustion.
Uncontrolled rage will not only hurt teammates, but will also slowly erode his consciousness and completely degenerate into a demon.
After two days of their arrival, Enzos had been crazy many times. If it weren't for Jiayi, he might have been damaged by reason and slowly fell into demonization. He has been trying to control his emotions these days and tried to make the violent turmoil controllable, but it has never been effective.
"The demonic bloodline in your body is stronger than I thought. Perhaps the one who left this bloodline is not the nameless person. In addition, the magical aura permeates the underground world, so your demonic bloodline is more likely to be out of control. Unfortunately, you don't have a Taurus Shaman, otherwise the Taurus' totem pole may be of some help to your situation. Now, you can only control your emotions through exercise."
"Exercise? Master, how should you exercise? Can emotions be controlled through exercise?"
He knew that strength could be exercised and magic could be exercised, but he had never heard of how to exercise and control his emotions.
Jiayi was also a little scratched his head for this situation. In fact, emotions are the most uncontrollable. Any means can only play an indirect role. There is never a way to control emotions immediately - at least he doesn't know.
He felt a little embarrassed. When he was stimulating Enzos' bloodline, he miscalculated the concentration of the demon bloodline in Enzos's body. Coupled with the catalyzing of the magical aura in the underground world, the demon blood he used was a bit excessive. Under the influence of multiple factors, Enzos would lose control so easily.
Just to save your life, this sequelae is at least better than losing your life. Jiayi has a little compensation and does not want his successful case to be eroded by the devil's bloodline.
He said: "The improvement of mental power can bring about some weak improvement of willpower, which helps you control your emotions, but for your current situation, it is too little help. What works best for you now should be firm beliefs or strong will. It is just that the establishment of beliefs is not easy, and the simpler one is faith."
"Faith? We Taurus all believe in the souls of our ancestors."
"It's a pity that you are not a sacred knight. Although you have strong will, you are not enough, and you cannot use divine power to calm your emotions. I heard that the monks in the Holy See exercise their will through asceticism. If you can have the training method of asceticism, it may be helpful to you. Unfortunately, even the inheritance of asceticism itself is about to be cut off."
Jia Yi shook his head and blocked this path. Enzos was disappointed. Jia Yi said again: "In fact, faith is to turn your attention elsewhere and place your mind on worship of God. According to this theory, there is another way."
"I will not change my faith. The soul of my ancestors penetrates into the bone marrow of our Taurus, and it is impossible to change it." Enzos stared at Jiayi tightly and said firmly.
"I didn't let you change your faith." Kaichi reached out to stop Enzos and interrupted him, "I thought of a method I've heard of before, which might help."
"The mages can enhance their mental power through meditation. The key is to empty their minds and make their minds blank. If we do not empty their minds, but focus on our minds and outline a pattern in our minds, this may be able to enhance our will. This method is called visualization, observation and imagination. It is said that mages from some schools of thought exercise their mental power through this special visualization. I heard that training in this way can greatly improve the operability of magic. Moreover, visualization requires concentration and is also helpful for the training of will. When you cannot control your emotions, you start visualizing and concentrate all your attention in the patterns you imagined. Divert your attention and calm your emotions."
"Master, are you familiar with this method?" Enzos first heard of this method, but he had a slight understanding of the mage's meditation method. Although this so-called visualization sounds strange, it is a special meditation method when he thinks.
Jiayi slowly looked away. This was actually not meditation at all. At least as far as he knew, there was never a method of meditation that was achieved in his mind by outlining patterns. The so-called visualization is actually a method of Taoism. Taoism emphasizes the supreme forgetfulness and tranquility and inaction, and has unique control over emotions, so he asked Enzos to try to control his emotions through visualization.
As for how to actually operate the visualization, he only knows the concept and is not clear about the specific methods.
However, although he is not clear about the specific method, it is not difficult for him to know the concept and combine it with meditation to explore a simple visualization.
"This kind of meditation is not common, and I have never been exposed to it, but I can guide you to try it. We don't expect you to develop a strong mental power through this meditation. In theory, there is no big problem."
Although Jiayi himself was not confident enough, Enzos and the others were quite willing to believe it.
I heard Jia Yi say: "The most important thing about this kind of visualization is to build a clear object in your mind, which can be a painting, a house, a person, or an object. I suggest that you visualize the totem pole of a Taurus, and you need to carefully outline every detail. The richer the details, the better. It will definitely be difficult at the beginning. You can choose a part or a pattern to try it."
The visualization method is to visualize the portrait of a god. In the Chinese tradition, every detail of the statue is actually stated and not randomly painted. However, the soul of the ancestor of the Taurus did not have a definite image, and the specifications of the statues are different and not completely consistent. It is better to visualize the totem pole.
For the Taurus, the totem pole is the core of their beliefs.
In addition to teaching him visualization, Jiayi also taught him some meditation techniques. Visualization and meditation both act on the spiritual level. The most important difference is to empty your thoughts, and the other is to concentrate your thoughts in your mind to outline them. Other parts can be learned from each other. He also taught Enzos' breathing method. Jiayi's own meditation method is produced by the combination of traditional meditation method and breathing method. Although the efficiency is not particularly high, it is effective anytime and anywhere, almost 24 hours a day.
He didn't know what changes would happen in the end when the three were combined, or if there was no change, and he needed to try it. However, the difficulty of combining the breathing method increased a lot. Jiayi divided Enzos into stages. At first, he practiced visualization first, and then tried the geometric breathing method after the visualization was successful, and finally combined together.
He was not sure of the final effect, so he took out a hollow metal head ring, and a green gem was inlaid in the middle of his forehead: "This is the calm head ring I know made, which contains a mechanized mental spell, which can keep you absolutely rational after being stimulated. But don't rely too much on this head ring. If you use too much, it will affect your training of will and become dependent. You may never be able to leave this head ring again, and it will still be impossible to avoid the erosion of the demon bloodline."
Enzos will be grateful for the result of the headband: "Thank you, Master, I will use it with caution."
"You're welcome, I'll charge you a cost price of 600 gold."
