When anyone is distracted, this would not have attracted special attention, but for a man like Amon, whose temperament has always been stable, it is an anomaly for a long time. He is already a second-class magician. He has already mastered the basic meditation of divinity, but suddenly he can not enter the introspective state of spiritual concentration. There are always various kinds of uncontrollable disturbances. This is the obstacle that he faces when he continues to cultivate divinity.
This kind of obstacle does not appear out of thin air, it is in a person's mind is very stable, in the ordinary day may not think about things or forgotten memories, in the mind one after another. A third level magician can learn the medium level divinity. This requires absolute inner stability in meditation, and a state that will not be disturbed by the outside information and various internal thoughts. Before that, he must pass this test and enter into an unprecedented state of refinement.
This test, called the firmness of faith, is actually a test of one's mindfulness and strength. For the diviners, faith is a very important help, because at this time people tend to be irritable and cranky, and have doubts about the divinity they learn and the teachers who teach them. Religious belief in gods can help to settle down and break through a deeper state of peace.
If you understand the true meaning of this kind of test, you should know how to face it. You can also avoid praying to gods. In the final analysis, it is a kind of self test.
Amun suddenly realized that the more devout people are, the more likely they are to pass such tests. For people like him, if they don't understand the truth, they will be perplexed at this stage all their lives.
Amun has developed a good habit since he was young. He won't entangle with useless things. He will do what he needs to do at first. So he no longer thought about how to pass the test, nor how to solve the mystery of the gods, the distant goal, but he still practiced the basic meditation of divinity every day and tried to keep calm in the state of various distractions.
He also told link and medanzo that they should try not to disturb him during this period of time and practice their own magic arts.
Medanzo had been in the dwarf tribe for a long time this time. He was worried about the situation at home and needed to go back. Before leaving, he came to Amun with a heavy leather bag on his back. Amun taught him the complete secrets of several low-level divinities, and told him what the next test was. He called link together and made them take an oath.
In the future, Amun's vows can't be used to keep their faith, or else they can't learn from God's words 。
This kind of oath is indeed very effective, and the next test Amun is not very clear, but after he comprehended "the firmness of faith" as "the firmness of faith", he also understood that if he wants to pass the test, there should be no doubt in the mind, and the oath is the seed planted in the belief.
Medanzo's knapsack was filled with refined iron embryo and several pieces of top-grade horse leather billet. A middle-level warrior actually did the hard work of climbing mountains with heavy loads, and also did the business of peddlers. It's really useless to learn sports! Ordinary people can't do this job.
Amun asked curiously: "you are not tired, how much are these things worth?"
Medanzo patted his leather bag and said, "dozens of gold coins! Only a few pieces of horse leather billet can be worth five gold coins He took out three fist sized pieces of horse leather billet from his backpack. They were the best refined iron that had been smelted but had not yet been made into utensils. Some of them were displayed in front of Amun.
Amun had been dealing with iron ore and furnaces since he was a child. His staff was made of the same high-grade refined iron. However, in the kingdom of balun, the name of this kind of high-quality refined iron was called Magang. Medanzo was showing off how valuable this thing was, but Amun was a bit surprised - it turned out that it was not very valuable. He had gone through all kinds of hardships and risks to carry it out of the mountains. He only sold five gold coins to the faraway King baron.
The first-class refined iron is the exclusive material of the kingdom in Duke town. When it is mined out, it is handed over to the city-state. The town only pays the blacksmith's wages, but not the purchase of refined iron. Most of the time, the wages are directly offset by the ore cores received. Therefore, Amun does not know how much the refined iron is worth.
After showing off, medanzo put the three pieces of horse leather steel into his backpack and carefully put them away. He said to Amun, "the harvest this time is really not small. The most important thing is that you have learned divinity with you. You are my teacher and guide. In my mind, like link, I am willing to call you for Amun You must go to Baron when you have time. I will try my best to give you the best hospitality, and I have made a small fortune this time. "
Amun thought for a while and said, "I won't stay here forever. I really plan to visit Barron in the future. If you take this stone, you need to pay a lot of energy to practice divine arts. I'm afraid you don't have time to run around and make money. "
Amun gave medanzo a magic stone. Medanzo's eyes were staring at him, and link's chin almost fell off. The two were tongue tied for a long time, and link gasped and said, "God Amun! You are so generous. "Medanzo stammered, "my God! Amun, how can I accept such a valuable gift from you
Amun's heart secretly said a god stone is not worth such a fuss? In Duke town where he lives, the best wine can only be bought in two barrels for a divine stone. The merchant can get a sheep at most, which is an extra discount. These two ignorant guys have never heard of the earth's pupil before. They don't know how much the black stone they used is worth. Otherwise, they won't be scared out?
"It's not a gift either. You swore to me and promised to wait for me in baron. And I have taught you divine arts, and I hope you can concentrate on the cultivation of divine arts. This is to let you go back to settle down with your family and yourself. During this period of time, you can practice well at home. I'll come to you in the future, and you'll just wait. " Amun smiles and tells medanzo to put the stone in his hand.
Medanzo even moved with excitement, tears are coming down, patted his chest and said a lot of words of respect. Amun's doing so is reasonable. On the mainland, he has never seen a noble magician who is still making a living by himself, and it is impossible for him to carry heavy refined iron ore to do private business. A stable environment is also needed for practicing divinity, otherwise Amun would not choose to stay in the tribe of cave savages.
It takes several months for medanzo to travel to the deep mountain tribe. Even if he is lucky enough to bring back something worth dozens of gold coins, he can't even earn half a sacred stone at a time, except for the goods exchanged with the tribe and the expenses of travelling expenses. Amun gave him a magic stone, which was at least worth the money he made from selling refined iron in a year.
Medanzo was so grateful that he begged Amun again and again before he left. Don't forget to go to Baron city to find him. Link and Amun sent him to the village together. When he came back, he looked at Amun pitifully and didn't speak. It is obvious that link is a student of Amun. The teacher gave medanzo such a precious thing. Maybe he will give him something.
Amun saw it. When he returned to the village, he said to rink, "I have a story. A mayor asked the children of the town to herd sheep and gave him two silver coins a month. Later, the child could not herd sheep any more. He asked another child if he could give a silver coin to keep sheep for a month? The other child agreed. Do you think the mayor owes him a silver coin
The story of Amun is not made up. The mayor is dasti. He took a silver coin and put it for a month. The child of the sheep is himself. Link was very clever, immediately understood Amun's meaning, and quickly explained: "Amun God, I didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to ask you for the stone, just a little envious of medanzo! You have taught me magic and given me divine power. I should only thank you and give you my good things. How can I say that you owe me anything? "
Amun laughed. He went back to his cottage, took out a beautiful copper bottle and gave it to link. He said, "you and your people respect me very much. I have enjoyed a lot of food and wine. This bottle of wine is for you. As a clan leader, you still use pottery pots to fill wine in your home. You also need this thing to decorate. As for the divine stone, you already have it on your staff. As a private magician, medanzo needs to use it a lot. He often borrows your staff here. I have seen it
Link took over the copper bottle, which was the most exquisite object in their family. The people here had never seen it before. It was bought by Amun's father for 15 silver coins. Schrodinger drank all the wine in it, and the bottle was very beautiful. Link held it in his arms like a baby and went home happily.
In the next few days, Amun only concentrated on practicing the basic meditation of divinity. The confused thoughts gradually settled down, and the soul seemed to sneak into a more silent world. He sat there with another pair of invisible eyes. He could see his body and mind and clearly know what he was thinking. He had an unprecedented experience, and the world outside became clear.
The power cultivated by the magicians should communicate with the outside world and learn how to control all kinds of energy. Only when their mind is stable and can they overcome the disturbance, can they perceive the world more clearly.
One night, while practicing meditation, Amun suddenly fell into this state. He naturally and unintentionally tried a medium level divinity, which he had already experienced. There is no need to open your eyes in the dark. The subtle sound outside the house is so clear. With the sound, it seems that there are insects crawling through the corner of the wall.
He successfully passed the test of "firm faith". The ability to use at least one medium level divinity is one of the criteria for assessing a third level magician. Although Amun had not read the ancient books of detecting divinity, he realized the most basic principle of puppet eye from the comprehensive induction of various elements. It has been summed up in the ancient books of Shenshu, and Amun also explored this step by himself.
While he was pondering over this novel method of detection, he suddenly heard thunder coming from the distant horizon.
