MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 70 like a squirrel 1
There is one thing that the cheese may not have thought clearly, or he did not care if he thought clearly. That is, although Youni is an orphan, he has survived to the present by himself, but he is still very different from wolf children and wild children in the usual sense.
The environment of the apprentice's life is the crevice area where the sun is running and the sky is dark. His main task there is to survive the adults with malicious intentions and the dangerous corners of the city. Not only is he not close to nature, he even sees the sky and trees. Not many.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy for him to have the courage and ability to climb the shortest branch. Now after a brief rest and looking at his environment again, Youni only felt that every muscle in his body was resisting to continue climbing up, and at the same time resisting going down, he was trapped here by himself.
Fear is considered the most useless emotion by mages. If impulsiveness and anger can bring blind decisiveness, then fear means that no judgment can be made at any time, and it is a complete abandonment of decision-making power. Emotions of being dealt with.
This is also true for the gray robes. Cheese and his colleagues may have different views on other human emotions, but their reactions to fear are the same, the kind that affects physiology and consciousness from the heart. The materialistic fear must be overcome.
Youni knows his teacher's attitude. The cheese may allow him to give up this task because it is too difficult, but he will not allow his apprentices to lose motivation because of fear. People can be afraid, fear is a kind of normal reaction, but it is only one kind, and it cannot and must not be completely controlled by this kind of reaction, even for a moment.
The human body is like a paint plate, and the flow of emotions is the ebb and flow of different colors of paint, joy, worry, anger, pain, these colors sway back and forth on the plate, sometimes occupying a corner, sometimes occupying Most of the country. But the color palette itself is in circulation, and the emotions with too much momentum will eventually fade away, and other suppressed emotions will redistribute their territories. The premise is that they are not completely eliminated, otherwise there will be only one color left on the entire color palette, A dirty color mixed out.
When the color is dirty, it needs to be washed again to reset the condition of the palette. The reset mechanism for ordinary people is fainting or sleep. The apprentice does not have this condition now. His few remaining thoughts prevent the spread of fear on the one hand, and on the other hand prevent the body's reaction of wanting to escape. So what to do? How to deal with the chaos on the palette?
The answer is clear water, instead of removing all the colors roughly with a scraper, dilute the colors with clear water, let the too bright parts leave the main body, and then separate them slowly. That clear water is Qi.
The weak heat surges along the path called meridians, diluting the emotions in the muscles, diluting the forces that restrain the impulse, it can't get rid of these immediately, but it can calm down and comfort the body until it returns to the mind The range that can be controlled. A little white air flow floated out from Youni's body, and the faint ones dissipated in the air immediately. They did exist, like a concrete manifestation of discharging the internal stale air out of the body.
The apprentice's eyes regained their brilliance, and he looked around in disbelief, surprised that he was so deeply immersed in an emotion and impulse just now, and now thinking about the reaction just now, it seemed so unreal. The fading of emotions is like it never existed, so people cannot relive them with memory, what can be relive is only the vision when they are overwhelmed by emotions.
Clenching his fingers as if to confirm and then loosening them, Yoni looked up at the treetop again, and a breeze blew behind him. The leaves were shaking, making sounds similar to comfort and urging, and this giant tree also seemed to want the climbers on it to complete their tasks quickly.
The apprentice lowered his head and made an apology gesture, but he didn't know who he was apologizing to. In short, when he raised his head again, the iron awl used for climbing was ready again. Staying will not bring about a turning point for things, careful observation, and cautious forward is the only way to move forward.
Actually started to climb, and Youni found that he may have passed the most difficult part unintentionally. As the height increases, the branches of the giant tree become denser, which reduces the difficulty for climbers a lot. More Borrowing points and a foothold where you can breathe make the whole process easier.
He didn't stop until the surrounding leaves could grow against the apprentice's body, because his goal was not as simple as climbing to the top of the tree. The tree that Yoni chose was some distance away from the spider web they saw before. This is Cheese's suggestion. In order to reduce the alertness of possible spiders, apprentices should try to approach from a plane direction instead of from above or below.
So the gray robe asked Youni to climb a giant tree from a certain distance, and then shuttle to the target area through the adjacent branches. Overall, he was just a squirrel.
Put away the iron awl that cut the bark, and the grip and balance brought by the fingers became the qualities needed to walk through the treetops. Youni briefly confirmed the direction, and walked towards the branch protruding like a sampan, and soon came to the end of the branch, and a few steps away was the branch of another giant tree.
The apprentice, who had controlled his fear, did not hesitate too much. He walked forward with light steps, and then exerted a little force based on his intuition. The whole body was lifted into the air.
The soles of the feet touched the hard bark again, and the body shook slightly three times before returning to normal. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Youni turned his head, said goodbye to the previous giant tree with body movements, and then started the next round of movement.
It is worth noting that the residents of the canopy are not limited to giant trees. Many climbing plants similar to vines can be seen on the branches. They obtain sunlight by parasitic on the heights of giant trees, and no longer need to grow tall branches by themselves. Where there are plants, there are naturally animals. There are indeed squirrels here, and some other things. They ran away after spotting Yoni from a distance.
The animal's reaction reminded the apprentice that he wanted to enter the spider web area quietly and not attract unnecessary attention. With this in mind, Cheese gave up going straight to the target. He chose to slow down and use a longer distance to let himself learn to act in a more concealed way in the canopy. At the same time, he is also observing the behavior of those animals, trying to incorporate it into his own method of movement.
During this process, Youni kept changing his body posture when moving, and the flow of Qi in his body also changed accordingly, sometimes smooth and sometimes blocked. It felt very strange, as if there was an invisible standard measuring whether the swallowing gesture was standard for him.
After a long detour, Yoni's actions finally became less noticeable, and he became able to look at the tree creatures at a medium distance.
