Chapter 393 Psychotherapy

“If you think your life is meaningless, you can go and find something interesting to do. For example, so many poor people don’t have enough food to eat or enough clothes to warm themselves, and you can use your ability and privilege to help them. Besides this, refugees have no shelters in some of the war-torn areas of Zhongdong and Feizhou, and you can also do your best to help them.”

Ding Ning guided him with reasonable pieces of advice.

“It is not that easy. As a member of the royal family, my daily clothing, eating, accommodation, and trips are all arranged, and I even have no personal freedom. Sometimes I don’t understand why those actors and actresses want to be stars. In order to become famous, they are willing to be bedded; when they go outdoors, they will disguise, and reporters will tail after them; and they have no privacy, and even a few small rumors can be sensational. Don’t they feel tired by living this way?”

Prince Hengli’s face turned red after he drank a bottle of red wine, making the freckles on his face become more obvious, and he muttered with confusion.

“This is like what the Chinese novel Fortress Besieged describes. They can’t find the humanity they really want.”

Ding Ning shook his head with a small smile. “People in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in, but when people in the city really go out, maybe they will only get interested in the first few days, but as time goes by, they will find that the life outside the city is actually not as good as they imagined. Although the sky is very blue, the water is very green, the air is very fresh, the life is full of rural atmosphere, and there is really beautiful scenery, there are no computers, coffee, newspaper, concrete buildings, flourishing street life, or convenient and quick flushing toilets in the washroom, but they have to endure the bad smell of manures which are used as fertilizers in the crop fields, the harassment of the insects and mosquitoes in the dim light, the endless barking of the yellow dog next door...

“When the people outside the city enter the city, they may feel the life is fresh in the beginning because in the city there are tall buildings that are not available in the countryside but are more beautiful than the three-story red-brick and black-tile building of their wealthiest village chief; there are millions or even tens of millions of luxury cars that move ceaselessly, much more luxurious than the second-hand Santana their village chief’s son drives; there are sexy and seductive bikini beauties on the posters who are much more beautiful than the most beautiful Widow Li in the village; there are movie and TV drama stars who seem to live in another world but are quite familiar to them... but after experiencing their initial excitement and longing, they will find that no matter how beautiful the prosperous city is, they can’t find the clean stream at the entrance of their village, the relatives and neighbors who usually like gossiping but are friendly and help each other in hard times, the first gulp of fresh air they take which delights their spirit, and the big yellow dog who barks as a warning when strangers enter the village in the middle of the night. If their little hobby of peeking at Widow Li taking a bath is found in the city, they will be arrested and sent to the police station for hooliganism...”

Ding Ning smiled and said everything calmly in detail, and Prince Hengli and the other two guys listened quietly, immersed in his story.

Even Bai Qing had not realized that the two foreigners Halidan and Prince Hengli could understand such plain but complicated Shenzhou words and phrases so well.

The truth was that Ding Ning used a small trick: When he spoke, he used spiritual communication. Even if the foreigners could not understand what he said, they could get his meaning.

The truth was that language was the most powerful communication tool in the world, with the power of reaching the hearts of the people, especially the profound Shenzhou language because each of its words probably had many different meanings.

Let’s take a very funny joke as an example. The phrase “??” (fang bian) was widely used in Shenzhou language, but it was very difficult to understand for foreigners and could drive them crazy.

When eating, one person said he was going to “fang bian”, but the foreigner could not understand, and a person beside him told him that “fang bian” meant going to the washroom; when toasting, another person told the foreigner that he hoped the foreigner could give him “fang bian” when he went abroad next time, and the foreigner was confused but did not dare to ask; at the dining table, a beautiful TV station hostess proposed that when she was “fang bian”, she would arrange an interview with the foreigner, who was shocked and asked, “How can we do this when you are ‘fang bian’?” The beautiful hostess said, “When you are ‘fang bian’, I will treat you to dinner.” The foreigner passed out! After waking up, the beautiful hostess said to him, “Or can we have a chat when both of us are ‘fang bian’?” The foreigner passed out again and never woke up.

Obviously, Ding Ning’s attempt was very successful this time, making him realize that there were still many things worth exploring in the use of spiritual strength.

Many patients’ illnesses were caused by psychological factors. If the spiritual strength was properly used, he could help patients get rid of their emotional entanglements through psychological cues.

He had learned simple psychological knowledge, but had not studied mental hypnosis. It was said that there were many great masters of mental hypnosis in the world, who had made great achievements in psychotherapy.

This was a new field of medicine for him, and his first attempt seemed to have achieved some effect, which gave him so much interest.

Hengli’s eyes had a little confusion, but his decadence had disappeared. He had realized that his mental health was problematic. Ding Ning’s words were a sharp warning, which made him wake up and redefine the value of his existence.

“Fourth Brother, you’re right. Now I’m like the person who wants to live outside the city as you said, but if I really go outside, I may find that the outside is not suitable for me to live in. Although there are things that I want out there, they don’t belong to me. In other words, I can’t get used to the life there.”

“That’s right. Everyone has their own value. You are just too mentally empty and haven’t found the meaning of your living. There is an old saying in our Shenzhou: We are born to be able to do something. This means that everyone has their own meaning. You haven’t found your life goal just because you haven’t given yourself a correct assessment. Believe me, you will find the meaning of being alive. This is only an attitude of living. You should learn to cultivate your interests, and an optimistic and positive attitude toward living is the guarantee of longevity and health.”

Ding Ning smiled comfortably, and Halidan and Bai Qing also realized something. Although Ding Ning was waking up Hengli, it was more like a mental health therapy. For them, this was also a kind of understanding.

They were born in rich and powerful families and had the goals they were fighting for. Although they were not as confused and degenerate as Hengli, they would occasionally feel very tired in the dead of night and become tired of this way of living. After all, they worked ceaselessly in the first half of their life, lived for their family or others, but had never really lived for themselves for once.

Bai Qing’s situation was a little better. When facing the pressure from his family in the days to come, he would need to bravely say no and choose to live with his beloved one.

But for Halidan who already had his faith, Ding Ning’s treatment of this time would have quite a profound impact on his future ambition and view of the world and had inadvertently created someone to be reputed as the most sexy, charming, brave, and decisive Alianqiu monarch who did not stick at trifles in handling affairs and had his personal independence of conduct.

“Well, it’s time for business.”

Seeing that Hengli got rid of his emotional entanglements, thinking about something, Ding Ning had a glint in his eyes, rose to his feet, and picked up the glass bottle on the table.

“What business?”

Halidan stepped forward, looked at the last Spirit-eating Insect, and asked with confusion.

Ding Ning gave a confident smile at the corner of his mouth. “Let’s release the insects. It’s time to close the net.”

As he said, he opened the glass bottle and released the Spirit-eating Insect which had become a Gu King and had wings. This shocked Bai Qing and the other two guys so much that they took several steps back.

“Are you crazy? How can you let it go?”

Bai Qing’s face turned quite pale. Just now, the Spirit-eating Insects were so scary, and now the Gu King must be scarier.

Halidan and Prince Hengli were also puzzled, hiding behind Ding Ning in fear.

Ding Ning said with a smile, “Don’t worry. The Spirit-eating Insect King will never attack us now, and its owner will recall it as soon as possible to celebrate the birth of the Gu King. You guys wait here, and I will be back soon.”

After speaking these words, he opened the window and jumped down before the three of them responded.

“Oh, my God, is Fourth Brother crazy? This is the second floor, which is five or six meters high.”

Prince Hengli craned his head out, saw that Ding Ning had landed safely and disappeared into the dark night like a wind, and was shocked. “The truth is Fourth Brother is an excellent kung fu practitioner. He knows Shenzhou kung fu, right?”

“Maybe!”

Bai Qing shrugged and did not answer his question directly because he only knew some superficial things about Ding Ning and could not detect many deeper things with his ability.

The more it was like this, the more firmly he believed that he should not be his enemy. Ding Ning was like a bottomless cold lake. The more he knew him, the more mysterious he felt he was.

Initially, he thought that the Master of the Divine Burin’s marvelous carving skills, miraculous medical skills, and extraordinary kung fu techniques were all he had.

But now he had shown his ability to remove the Gu and make charms, making Bai Qing give a wry smile secretly. “Fourth Brother, you are really elusive. What else on earth can you not do?

“With such a prominent ability, you are much more excellent than all young elites. If you and my cousin can be a couple, you will be a powerful helper to her family.”

But when he thought of her uncle’s character and attitude, he couldn’t help scratching his head secretly, just hoping that his uncle would ask him for help. Even if he did not want Ding Ning and his sister to be a couple, he had better not offend him; otherwise, if Ding Ning became powerful and had hatred, the entire Qiao Family was likely to suffer a terrible disaster.

In an 18-story apartment building not far from Purple Star Pavilion, there was no light in the room, and on the sofa sat a man covered in black linen in the dark.

The man was skinny as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind, with his bony face full of suspicion.

When the indistinct telepathy came, the man showed a surprised expression and whispered, “Who on earth unlocked my Spiritual Gu and also helped me make the real Spiritual Gu King? With the Spiritual Gu King, even if I haven’t completed the entrusted task this time, the trip is worth it. In the future, let me see who will dare to look down upon me Zhai Fang in the organization.”

The man stood up, knelt down on all fours as if to welcome the supreme emperor, and held up his hands, with his eyes glowing with fanatical light. “Welcome the return of the Spiritual Gu King!”

With a flash of white light, the Spirit-eating Insect King appeared on Zhai Fang’s hand as if a proud monarch looked down at his lowly servant, and it paced back and forth in his hand.

At this moment, the Spirit-eating Insect King had become half the size of a sesame seed after eating and evolution, looking translucent as a piece of jade. If it did not give off a layer of white light, he would not see it.

Zhai Fang was not shocked but was happy. He thought that the Spiritual Gu King had approved him and wanted to build a spiritual connection with him and become his Life Gu.

He got up quickly and squeezed a drop of essential blood from his fingertip as if he got a treasure. With great care, he wanted to feed the Spirit-eating Insect King and also muttered, making an obscure ancient syllable, which was the ancient spell on the contract that his clan and the Gu King made, and he had long kept it in mind.
