This place is fun

Chapter 27 Questions
Early in the morning, Su Daoshan woke up from his bed, stared at the carvings on the ceiling for a while, then turned his head to look to the side.

The room was warm with an incense burner. On the small couch not far away, Huamei was still sleeping soundly. The girl was lying on her side, her curvy body swaying in the shape of a "片" (a Chinese character). The quilt was kicked away halfway, revealing her fair feet and rosy face.

Pingting sleeps well, but Huamei is not so obedient. She likes to kick the quilt and toss over, so that her clothes always look a little messy. The white patch at the torn collar is really exciting.

This little girl is actually older than Pingting and Xing'er... After a long time, Su Daoshan withdrew his gaze like a gentleman and used inner vision to check the "spiritual realm" in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The colors interwoven in the sea of ​​consciousness have become thinner and thinner, like strands of embroidery silk, and the whole world seems to have reached the end of completion. The originally blurred colors give people a feeling of being ready to come out. Faintly, there seems to be a mountain.

"It should be in these two days." Su Daoshan was a little expectant.

He coughed lightly and Huamei woke up.

The girl propped herself up dazedly, rubbing her eyes, lowering her head and letting out a soft cry. Her blushing face covered her trembling beauty while she stole a glance at her young master. The young master naturally looked straight ahead, with a clear and upright gaze. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

At this time Pingting also came up and helped Su Daoshan dress and wash together with Huamei.

Seeing Huamei's blushing face, Pingting's eyes were still moving back and forth between Su Daoshan and Huamei, which made Huamei shy and secretly pinch her most sensitive waist. Pingting, who was bending down to tidy up the edge of Su Daoshan's robe, trembled and suddenly tilted. Huamei was also trapped in her own trap, and Pingting pulled her body to a crooked position, and both of them fell on Su Daoshan.

Su Daoshan quickly hugged them and stabilized his body, so the three of them did not turn into a bunch of gourds rolling on the ground. Even so, their bodies were entangled together. The hot and soft touch brought by the two girls' bodies almost made him lose his human form.

"What's wrong?" Su Daoshan looked confused, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

"Nothing... nothing..." Pingting and Huamei stood up and shook their heads quickly. When Su Daoshan turned and walked out, they glared at each other unhappily, one rubbed her chest quietly, and the other covered her butt subconsciously, her face red to her ears.

When the young master hugged me just now, his hand touched... I still feel numb and tingling... Fortunately, the young master is naturally slow, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

Although he was walking in front, Su Daoshan could naturally see the two maids' little movements.

It can be said that with the help of the unique characteristics of a scholar, almost everything within a radius of 30 meters has become his control area. Even if he doesn't look back, he can form a picture in his mind through the sound, smell and air flow, reflecting every detail change.

"Watching" the two of them pulling each other, Su Daoshan had an idea and started to [ask a question].

As the magic was activated, the surrounding space in Su Daoshan's vision became hazy. The door frame, windows, railings, the floor under his feet, and the garden downstairs, everything seemed unreal. All objects were covered with a layer of white light.

It feels like the whole world is made up of aura.

And Su Daoshan's thoughts, in this hazy space, are like a fish that has returned to the water from the chopping board. There is a sense of freedom and comfort that makes people indulge. And Pingting and Huamei are like two balls of light under the dark water, so eye-catching.

"Let's try Pingting first." Su Daoshan made a decision and quickly formed a question in his mind, "Just ask her 'Is the young master becoming more and more handsome?'"

However, he immediately rejected this question: "No, this sentence structure lacks guidance. It would be better to change it to 'Why do I feel that the young master is getting more and more handsome'."

After confirming the problem, Su Daoshan activated his thoughts and extended them towards the light ball representing Pingting like an octopus's tentacles.

As the tentacles touched the ball of light, a wonderful perception came, and Su Daoshan instantly gained enlightenment.

"This ball of light is Pingting's spiritual world, which was materialized after the magic was activated. I forcibly established a one-way mental connection with her spiritual world, just like a secret intruder, breaking in silently, but she didn't notice it at all."

The light ball representing Pingting's spiritual world contained many other light balls of different sizes. Su Daoshan knew that these were Pingting's memories and thoughts. However, these memories and thoughts were protected by Pingting's self-consciousness and could not be peeped into.

In this spiritual world, if these memories and thoughts are boiling magma, then Su Daoshan's thoughts are like a snowman that has entered the boiling crater of a volcano. Not to mention touching it, even staying there for a little while is unbearable.

"No wonder the information contained in the Dao Seed says that if you are in a negative emotional state such as fear or panic, or your mental strength is not as strong as the other person, using rhetorical questions may backfire."

"Well, at least from the perspective of the lower human realm, the abilities of extraordinary warriors are still limited to mystery and wonder, and they do not have the power to do whatever they want. Just like the previous battle between Fan Caiyi and Tu Sen, their extraordinary characteristics and special skills are only auxiliary. The real fight still depends on martial arts."

Su Daoshan was thinking in his heart.

However, although he could not spy on her memories and thoughts, Su Daoshan still made a pleasant discovery in Pingting's spiritual world - after invading her spiritual world, he could roughly feel her emotional state.

For example, Pingting is now shy and happy. Her whole spiritual world exudes a relaxed and happy atmosphere, just like a sunny spring day with birds singing and flowers blooming.

As the question was launched, Su Daoshan saw a ball of light injected by his own thoughts appear out of thin air in Pingting's spiritual world. It immediately began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like inflating air, and soon occupied most of the space.

Perhaps because this thought came from the outside world, the light ball was a dull gray, which was out of tune with Pingting's spiritual world.

Su Daoshan knew that if Pingting could not answer this question, this thought would grow bigger and bigger until it completely occupied her mental world. By then, her other thoughts would be compressed to the extreme, and her mind would be completely occupied by this question, making it impossible to think. The longer the time, the darker the color of this gray light ball would become, the heavier the negative emotions would be, and the greater the mental consumption would be. Eventually, a vicious cycle would be formed.

Su Daoshan turned his head slightly and glanced at Pingting who was following behind him with Huamei.

Pingting, who was walking with Huamei and secretly competing with her, suddenly stopped and began to have wild thoughts in her mind.

"The young master's hands were so strong just now, and he has grown a lot taller, stronger and more upright." Following this sudden thought, a thought naturally appeared in my mind, "Why do I feel that the young master is becoming more and more handsome..."

Completely unconsciously, Pingting secretly raised her eyes to look at Su Daoshan, and met Su Daoshan's eyes. She was so flustered that she didn't know what to do. Her face turned red as if blood was dripping, and the blood spread to her neck.

Young Master... he really looks better...

Almost at the moment when Pingting changed her mind, Su Daoshan saw a small ball of light representing her thoughts appear in her mental space.

The small ball of light crashed into the gray ball of light that had almost occupied her entire mental space.

Then, the seemingly powerful gray ball of light shattered like a balloon punctured by a needle. At this moment, Su Daoshan felt as if his brain had been hit by an invisible pestle. He suddenly became a little dazed, and his spirit was obviously weakened.

This is the aftereffect of using rhetorical questions - if your questions do not cause trouble to the other party, the faster they answer correctly, the greater the backlash you will suffer.

Because of this, the choice of questions is very important.

First, it can’t be too simple. It should be as difficult as possible for the other party to answer. Second, the question must be something that the other party cares about and can form distracting thoughts that are difficult to eliminate. For example, a question like eight-digit multiplication of nine-digit numbers is difficult to answer, but it is also easy for the other party to suppress it. It is difficult to be like the question I asked Pingting just now, where a thought will quickly occupy the entire mental world.

Therefore, the best questions are those that cause the other person to feel troubled or instinctively resist.

Of course, Su Daoshan teased Pingting just because he was mischievous and wanted to test his magic. He never thought of causing any harm to his personal maid.

He had been prepared for such an outcome and naturally endured the loss of mental strength.

The original question was just a kind of mental interference technique. As for what the other party would answer, the attacker could not see it. Just like the small ball of light that appeared in Pingting's mind, Su Daoshan could not be sure whether the answer was "yes" or "no".

However, at this moment, Su Daoshan discovered that Pingting's small light ball did not disappear after solving the question. Instead, it settled down and became a part of her mind.

From the logic of a master of law, the answer is actually obvious.

Because when Su Daoshan first designed the question "Why do I feel that the young master is getting more and more handsome?", he deliberately included a certain tendency and induction. It was already a kind of self-suggestion. If the answer was no, then the result when Pingting stole a glance at him could be imagined.

"How is that possible? Where is it?"

"Am I blind? How could I have such an idea?!"

And so on!

Then, the answer will die along with the question, and the thought will be completely abandoned, leaving no trace in the mental space.

But now, this answer has taken root in Pingting's spiritual world and has become one of her many memories and thoughts. In addition, at this moment, Su Daoshan felt panic and shyness from her spiritual fluctuations, which was enough to explain the result.

This made Su Daoshan think of the psychologist in his previous life.

From a certain perspective, asking Pingting these kinds of questions is no different from a psychologist using hypnosis to give patients psychological hints.

"However, this is because Pingting is not on guard against me as a young master," Su Daoshan thought, "If it were someone who is hostile to me, let alone such psychological induction, the mere mention of my name would cause vigilance and resistance..."

"But on the other hand, arousing the other party's vigilance and resistance is also one of the important elements that need to be utilized in asking questions. This can make the other party instinctively resist answering. But the more he wants to get rid of this idea, the more it will occupy his mind."

"Also, the question I just asked Pingting was not offensive. Whether she answers 'yes' or 'no', it's correct. But if I compete with an opponent, the question I asked is like a lock. If she doesn't give the correct answer, the opponent will not be able to eliminate this thought..."

Su Daoshan silently summarized in his mind. He found this strange technique of asking questions more and more interesting. Afterwards, he conducted another experiment on Huamei.

Then, while washing up, Su Daoshan saw Huamei picking a flower from the flowerpot in the corner, and pulling the petals with a red face and a troubled look on her face.

"The young master saw it...didn't see it...saw it...didn't see it..."
