Dreams would indeed be quite difficult to deal with if one were caught unawares. However, once you realize that you are in a dream, it will be much easier to deal with it.
As for Ye Zan, the reason why he knew it was a dream was, of course, because of the auxiliary chip in his head.
Obviously, Daozu Xuanqing didn't spend much thought here. You must know that even Lord Dream was able to block Ye Zan's auxiliary chip. Perhaps in the view of Xuanqing Daozu, such a dream is enough to test disciples at the level of Nascent Soul and Golden Core, except for the special case of Ye Zan.
In fact, being able to see through this dream does not mean it is a good thing.
Daozu Xuanqing set up this dream test, obviously not to trap people in dreams, but to test people's Taoist heart.
Although, in the metaphor of monasticism, the physical body is compared to a "boat" and the soul is compared to a "person", there seems to be no mention of the "heart". However, cultivating the mind is also very important in spiritual practice. The reason why I don’t mention it is because there is no fixed method for cultivating the mind.
Whether it is to improve one's cultivation or enhance one's soul, there are various techniques and even various pills. But how to cultivate the mind? There is no Kung Fu method in the world that says you can cultivate your mind by practicing this way. There is no elixir or any heavenly material or earthly treasure that can be taken to cultivate one's mind.
How to cultivate the mind can be said to vary from person to person. For example, the Buddhist sect emphasizes meditation, the orthodox sect emphasizes the understanding of thoughts, and the demonic sect emphasizes following one's will. The so-called meditation mainly means to calm the mind and not be disturbed by external things. The so-called understanding of thoughts means not letting any negative emotions get stuck in the chest. As for saying whatever you want, it is actually another simple and crude way of thinking clearly.
In the Zhengdao sect, when we say that our thoughts are clear, it does not mean that we should seek revenge when we have grudges, or repay resentments when we have grievances. Of course, there is nothing wrong with taking revenge, but sometimes having troubled thoughts is not a problem of hatred.
For example, jealousy can also make people's thoughts blocked. The right way is to resolve your own jealousy, which in secular terms is called "think more openly". The magic way is to grab what you can and destroy it if you can't, so I don't have to be jealous.
Of course, this metaphor is very black and white, but it cannot be so black and white in reality. It’s not like people in the righteous path don’t do what the devil does. And in the devil's way, not everyone is so greedy and extreme.
This dream set by Xuanqing Taoist Ancestor, on the one hand, tests people's Taoist heart, and on the other hand, it actually gives people an opportunity to "think more openly" through the experiences in the dream.
In fact, Lord Dream is very good at this. Therefore, in the Shenhua Realm, half of the reason why True Monarch Dameng has such a status is that some sects or individuals often ask him to help some disciples resolve their knots.
Regardless of the matter of cultivating the mind, there is no fixed method and it seems more ethereal than the soul, but it is very important on the road of spiritual cultivation. Once the knots in the mind are difficult to resolve and the depressed energy prevents thoughts from being understood, the consequence will often be that it is difficult to make progress in cultivation.
The simplest thing is that if a person can't calm down even when he sits down to practice the exercises, how can his cultivation level possibly increase? Even if you force yourself into meditation, you may attract inner demons, which is the so-called obsessive behavior, which may lead to your whole person being crippled.
And Ye Zan has now seen through the dream, which means that he cannot gain experience from the dream. If he really has any knots, it cannot be resolved from the dream. Therefore, nothing in this world is perfect. Ye Zan can see through the dream. Although he can pass the test faster, he has lost an opportunity to sharpen his Taoist heart.
However, Ye Zan is very open-minded and does not worry about gains and losses.
"Dear Master, are you thinking about something? There is still one hour and thirty-six minutes until your press conference. You really need to start making preparations." The artificial intelligence beauty on the wall said in a very friendly voice reminded Ye Zan.
"Cancel the press conference." Ye Zan jumped out of the bed and said to the artificial intelligence beauty while wearing the clothes sent by the robot servant.
"Dear Master, are you sure you want to cancel the press conference? I think the consequences of doing so will make the invited guests very unhappy. Maybe you are just joking?" the artificial intelligence beauty said to Ye in a very humane manner. Zan said, in fact, it was just a matter of confirming the instruction again and again.
"Wait, I was just joking, the press conference will continue as usual." Ye Zan suddenly changed his mind.
Originally, Ye Zan planned to wake up directly from the dream, which was not that difficult. But he suddenly thought that since he was pulled into such a dream, he couldn't waste this opportunity. He might as well go crazy in this dream and treat it as a sexual act.
"Dear Master, I think you need to find a partner. It is not a good habit to joke with an artificial intelligence." The artificial intelligence beauty said to Ye Zan very seriously.
At this time, Ye Zan had already changed his clothes. Hearing the words of the artificial intelligence, he smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, go do your thing. Everything will go according to the planned plan."
"Okay." The artificial intelligence beauty replied, and her figure disappeared from the screen on the wall.
Now that he knew it was a dream, Ye Zan naturally had some control over the dream. Therefore, he did not need to wait for more than an hour to directly stimulate the brain through the auxiliary chip. In the blink of an eye, it was already time for the press conference to start.
Ye Zan did not leave the room at all, but the surrounding environment was no longer the room he was in when he "woke up", but was replaced by the venue where a press conference was held.
Standing on the stage, Ye Zan glanced around the audience and saw many familiar faces. There are former friends, socialites with whom I often interact, representatives from technology companies, and of course reporters from various media.
Those bad friends used to fawn over Ye Zan when the Ye family was rising. However, when the Ye family was hit, there were many who quickly drew the line, and many who added insult to injury and wanted a piece of the pie.
Among the representatives of technology companies, several of them represented companies that belonged to the major families that finally attacked the Ye family.
As for those media reporters, it’s okay not to mention it. When the Ye family was doing well, they sang praises. When the Ye family was hit, they were the ones who guided public opinion for the federation and those major families.
Looking at the people in the audience, Ye Zan felt quite emotional and thought to himself: He was indeed too stupid and naive when he held a press conference and hurriedly announced the interdimensional space storage technology.
"Okay, please be quiet. Thank you all for being here. The press conference has officially begun. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Ye Zan, President of Different Dimension Technology Company, to unveil the mystery of the greatest invention of this century." Press conference The host said to everyone in the audience at this time.
Ye Zan turned his head and looked at the host in the center of the stage.
The host was not an ordinary emcee, but Ye Zan's former right-hand man, and even his classmate in college. However, it was not until later that Ye Zan realized that this good classmate, assistant, and good friend of his had actually been hating him in his heart. As for the reason, it is actually very common, but it is just for a woman.
"If I don't have sex with her, can you have sex with her?"
"Why not? As long as I have everything from you, even if I ask her to be a dog in front of me, she won't say no!"
Therefore, later in the prison of the Black Sail Pirates, the man who clamored to make the goddess in his heart a dog was put into a dog's body. The goddess in his heart was someone who studied will transfer technology and was invited to complete this "experiment" personally.
Thinking of the Black Sail Pirates, Ye Zan turned and looked to the other side of the venue, where there was a man sitting in the corner. That person was also his friend, but the relationship at that time was not as close as the one who turned into a dog. Even when Ye Zanzhi was complacent, the relationship between the two became increasingly distant.
It was only later that the Ye family was attacked by various forces, and Ye Zan learned that that person's father was the leader of the Black Sail Pirates, or what they called the commander.
The reason why Ye Zan had the opportunity to come to this world was precisely because the Black Sail Pirates helped distract some forces. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to escape to the place mentioned by Xuan Yuan, one person and one boat, and then escape to this world.
I just don’t know what happened to the Black Sail Pirates. After all, they were facing the Federation Fleet.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye?" The man who finally turned into a dog barked at Ye Zan twice, indicating that everyone below was waiting.
Ye Zan came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that he would actually interpret this in his dream. In fact, I did have a moment of trance at that time, but the reason for my trance at that time was to enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight.
"Did you know? You turned into a dog later." Ye Zan said to the other party directly.
The man was stunned for a moment, but immediately put on a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it is whatever you say, I am a dog, and that is also your loyal dog. Come on, I But it took a lot of effort to invite so many media reporters for you, and you can’t keep them waiting for too long. "
The other party's answer was not actually the result of Ye Zan's obscenity, but that the two of them had indeed had a similar conversation. However, the context of the conversation was not at this press conference, but after the introduction of interdimensional space storage technology, the Ye family was about to become an interstellar wealthy family.
At that time, Ye Zan's character became increasingly bad, and he had a disdain for almost everyone. Those who could stand him were those who claimed to be loyal dogs, while those who couldn't stand him gradually left.
"Haha," Ye Zan smiled again and stepped to the center of the stage.
"Let us welcome Mr. Ye Zan, the president of our Different Dimension Technology Company, to reveal to you the greatest invention of this century!" The man followed Ye Zan in a dog-like manner and said loudly to the people in the audience, and at the same time he worked hard to act as the leader. Role.
However, among the people in the audience, only a few applauded, and most of them just looked like they were watching a show. The media reporters were also paying attention to the ladies and representatives of big companies in the venue. In fact, if they didn't have money, these media reporters wouldn't come here.
You know, before the introduction of interdimensional space storage technology, the Ye family was still a relatively famous family on this earth. If it were really placed in the Interstellar Federation, the Ye family would actually be like a speck of dust, a small family that couldn't stand on the stage at all.
Ye Zan still remembers that he was very temperamental at the time. Faced with such a situation, the first thing he said when he came on stage was, "Those who don't want to be here can leave, and they will still receive their money!".
As a result, the media reporters present really had to leave after hearing this, and most of them left at once. There were only a few reporters from small media outlets left, with the idea of continuing to do some news. However, none of them thought at the time that just because of this idea, they would gain both fame and fortune.
But this time, in his dream, Ye Zan did not follow the script, but looked at the people in the audience and said lightly: "Thank you all for coming and allowing me to relive this event after many years." One scene.”
After hearing this, everyone seemed a little confused, but the script also changed because of this, and those media reporters who would have left did not leave.
It seems that this dream does have the effect of resolving knots in the mind! Ye Zan saw something different from his memory happening, and his suspicions were confirmed. Only dreams that can change can play a role in resolving mental knots. Otherwise, if everything remains the same, it will just be a memory relived.
Resolving heart knots is actually a bit of a psychological suggestion, allowing people to change their past regrets in dreams. Although, in reality, the change has no effect at all, but psychologically it will give people some comfort.
"Mr. Ye, let's get down to business." The host reminded Ye Zan in a low voice.
"Alas," Ye Zan sighed, suddenly feeling a little disinterested. Many things still have to be solved in reality. A dream is just a dream after all, especially if you know it is a dream.
Okay, let this end! Ye Zan looked at the venue and gave instructions to the auxiliary chip in his mind. Everything around him gradually became illusory and blurry, and then disappeared like clouds of smoke.
One day, I will go back, I hope you won't have nightmares then! With the last thought, Ye Zan slowly opened his eyes and found that he had appeared in a vast space, wrapped in a bubble-like thing.
However, as Ye Zan woke up, the bubbles surrounding him exploded.
Ye Zan slowly fell to the ground and raised his eyes to look into the air. I saw bubbles floating in the air, and in the bubbles were people falling into dreams. Among those people were the Lin family siblings, several other companions, a few people wearing Taoist robes, and several Freemasons.
