Barrier of Light

The words have not yet been spoken.

"Buzz..."

The light in Afu's eyes has gone out.

Escaped?

Gu Shen looked at the small cube in front of him and shook his head.

Afu's angry voice floated from the sky above the bronze hall.

"Gu Shen, how can there be someone like you?"

Its programming is indeed not perfect. From the point of view of guarding the initial number, Afu has perfectly fulfilled the responsibilities it should do. However, the God of Molten Iron and Craftsman did not expect that human civilization would change after the smooth escape. There will be internal differences of opinion, causing subsequent evolvers to have more opinions than the last.

As for Gu Shen, he is the best among them.

He knows very well how to get along with AI.

Av is wise and rational most of the time.

But the god of craftsman has given it some other spirits, and it is still very "childish" in places where the procedures have not been codified.

Unlike [Deep Sea], the code of the initial number will not upgrade itself.

So in Gu Shen's eyes, Afu is like a child in terms of "getting along with others".

"Okay, I won't ask anymore."

Gu Shen helplessly waved in the direction from which the sound came from the Bronze Hall: "Come down, and I will tell you the scene in the dream of the 'Lord of Love'."

Afu asked warily: "Seriously?"

"really."

After Gu Shen nodded, the small cube with its glow extinguished trembled again.

Seeing the careful look from Afu.

Gu Shen smiled and said: "In the dream of the 'Lord of Love', I saw what she looked like when she was alive. The power of the gospel box fragments should not have completely dissipated. She also talked to me."

"dialogue?"

Afu became excited: "What did the Lord of Love say to you?"

"She asked me...if I wanted to draw my sword too."

Gu Shen said: "That's why I asked you if anyone has come to the initial account before."

"..."

Afu fell into thinking.

"Whoever that person was, he must not have drawn the sword... Either he didn't try, or he failed to draw the sword."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "I don't want you to break your promise, so I won't ask you any more information about 'this person' in the future. I just hope you can be accommodating... I think I am on this initial number." Look for the traces left by 'him' to piece together the truth of that year."

Afu's answer is actually no longer important.

Gu Shen already had a rough answer in his mind——

Looking at the five continents, there are only a handful of people who have the ability to travel thousands of miles alone and reach the depths of the ice sea.

If it's a god, it doesn't matter who it is.

They would not let this "Initial" float on the sea for so long.

We have already mobilized the power of a continent to capture it!

Think before and after.

The only possibility is Alan Turing.

Gu Shen was very suspicious that the "traveler" who left those ancient inscriptions in Pluto's tomb was also Mr. Turing.

"I……"

Afu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.

This attitude is neither rejection nor acceptance, it can only be said to be acquiescence.

It said seriously: "Since the Lord of Love asked you if you want to draw the sword...how did you answer?"

"I exited the dream."

Gu Shen said calmly: "I can't pull out that sword yet, so there's no need to try."

He is very aware of his own weight. He has reached his limit when he goes deep into the golden dream and sees the blurry face of the Lord of Love.

It is difficult to take another step forward.

Kuang discusses drawing swords...

"Is this so?" There was obvious disappointment in Afu's tone, and he quickly asked: "What about the future?"

"after……"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just a matter of drawing the sword, no problem."

He now has a real fire, placed in the cemetery, which has not yet been smelted.

When you draw the sword, if you achieve the divine status and come back again, you will definitely succeed!

Afu's eyes flashed red.

No matter how the small cube moved, two rays of red light shot out and landed in front of Gu Shen and Gu Xiaoman.

"This is the spiritual positioning of the 'Initial Number'."

Afu said sincerely: "As long as you accept this ray of light, there will be one more coordinate in your spiritual sea. Even if you two leave here, with this coordinate positioning, you can come back at any time, no matter where the 'Initial' sinks." , will always leave a [door] for you."

It sent [door] to both of them.

Obviously, this was recognition of Gu Shen and Xiao Man.

…

…

Under the deep sea, the Initiate slowly sank.

Gu Shen took Xiaoman, and under the leadership of Afu, passed through the Bronze Hall and went to other places.

"This is the meditation room. The God of Craftsmen left eight pieces of 'ghost jade'."

Afu said: "Extraordinary people who sit in the meditation room and practice can concentrate their minds in a very short time to complete spiritual practice... No matter who they are, they can do twice the result with half the effort."

Gu Xiaoman was very surprised after hearing this: "Yunzhijie?"

"What is this?" Afu was curious.

"A sealed object created by the Sky Goddess." Gu Shen explained: "The wearer can quickly enter the 'spectator's state of mind', which is what you call a concentrated state of getting twice the result with half the effort."

"It depends on the guest's mood. This name is quite interesting."

"In our time, the master once said that the spiritual state of mind of most extraordinary people can be divided into three realms."

Afu said slowly: "The first state, called 'Dengtang', is a one-to-one normal spiritual practice. After most extraordinary people awaken their abilities, they cannot control their spirits and cannot operate the breathing method stably... If they want to truly When you embark on the path of spiritual practice, you need to make your heart stable. Most people can achieve this first state."

Gu Xiaoman listened with interest. Now the five continents' safety committee has a similar classification of mental safety levels.

According to Afu, if you can't achieve the first state, then you are close to "out of control".

"What about the second realm?"

"The second state is 'entering tranquility'. You can quickly enter the inner world and start practicing at a speed beyond ordinary people." Afu smiled and said: "If I am not mistaken, Miss Xiaoman is currently in this state, practicing It’s fast up there, but it’s still a little bit off to the next level.”

Gu Xiaoman was a little stunned.

She has only been practicing for a short period of time, and she is just starting to practice body training, so her state of mind is always not calm enough.

Of course, there are also reasons for the assistance of the "Cloud Ring".

She does not need to practice her state of mind. If she wants to start spiritual practice, she only needs to wear a ring to quickly concentrate.

"The third realm is named 'flow' by the master."

Afu whispered: "Under the flow state, the spiritual practice efficiency of extraordinary people is extremely high. The meditation room in front of you can allow the extraordinary people who enter it to quickly enter the 'flow' state... Of course this There is also an upper limit. If more people enter the meditation room, the power of Puyu will be dispersed."

"In a state of flow, one is neither happy with things nor sad with oneself, and completely forgets about external things. Is this what you call the "specter's state of mind"?"

"Probably."

Gu Shen smiled and asked curiously: "The God of Craftsmen said that most extraordinary people are in these three realms. In other words...above the flow state, is there a higher state of spiritual cultivation?"

"have."

Afu said in a deep voice: "The master's state of mind is above the 'flow'. I once asked him what the higher state is. The master told me that above the flow, it is to regard movement as stillness and there is no need to forget myself. , and there is no need to abandon the outside world. As long as you can concentrate on cultivating many things, you will find that there is no limit to the spirit."

"I once saw with my own eyes that the master separated dozens of strands of spirit and entered a 'flow state' to cast different utensils."

"That's how the original starship was built... Except for the owner, no one else can do this kind of miracle. Even those great leaders can't do it."

Gu Xiaoman was in a trance when he heard it. One person had more than ten strands of spirit, all in a 'flow state'. What is this concept?

"Mr. Xiao Gu, your state of mind seems to have reached 'flow'?"

Afu has been observing what is happening inside the Initial.

After Gu Shen killed the black turtle and giant deer, he practiced in seclusion for a short time.

In its observation, Gu Shen's spiritual practice speed does not seem to be slower than that in the meditation room...

"That's probably it."

Gu Shen smiled. He didn't tell Afu that during those five years of sleeping in the ice sea, he had already taken a step beyond "flow".

One mind transforms into three.

Study the ancient texts of immortality, transform the fire of vitality, and understand the breath of autumn.

According to the division of the God of Craftsmen.

In fact, he is no longer in these three realms of cultivation...

What has to be marveled at is that the spirit of this god of craftsmen is so powerful that he can use it in more than a dozen ways, and all of them are in a "flow state." How huge a spiritual sea must be to support such consumption?

"There is a long way to go."

Afu comforted: "You are already very remarkable for being able to stay in the 'flow' state. Mental state practice does not affect combat power...many extraordinary people will ignore it. This fourth level of state of mind in the legend, even if Even those great leaders may not be able to do it.”

"Yeah...it's really hard."

Gu Shen nodded in agreement.

My own state of mind as a spectator can be regarded as benefiting from Master Qianye's guidance and Blazing Fire's mental feedback.

If it were not for living towards death in the ice sea.

It is difficult for him to understand the higher state of mind of "multitasking". The higher one reaches in cultivation, the more opportunity and good fortune are needed.

Sometimes, talent and hard work alone are not enough.

"Although I promised 'that person' to keep it a secret, there are still some things that I can tell..."

Afu lowered his voice and whispered: "That guy's state of mind is surprisingly strong. According to my assessment, he is definitely not in the state of 'flow'."

"oh?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows.

Mr. Turing was in a very high mood...

This was somewhat beyond my expectation. According to the known information from Wuzhou, Mr. Turing was not a combat leader.

His contribution to Wuzhou lies in the development of "ancient literature" and the research and development of "Deep Sea".

"It's just that being in a high mood may not be a good thing."

Afu sighed softly and said: "My master also said that state of mind has nothing to do with combat strength... In that era, among the several leaders, my master's strength should be considered the weakest."

The four levels of state of mind that Afu mentioned are actually the level of mental security now.

The safer a person is mentally, the less likely they are to lose control.

A high state of mind leads to fast theoretical practice.

But when it comes to fighting, your state of mind doesn't help much in terms of victory or defeat.

"So you mean...Mr. Turing's actual combat power is not high?"

This time Gu Shen didn't speak, but Gu Xiaoman took the initiative to ask.

"Cough, cough, cough...what did you say?"

Afu has learned how to deal with cunning human cubs. He immediately pretended to be dumbfounded and pretended not to hear.
