Simon rubbed Ming Huan's head in his arms. This poor, innocent monster passing by has been unhappy since he was involved.
Simon is a kind doctor, so he doesn't mind looking for the little gray snake while comforting Minghuan.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find the gray snake."
"Take a deep breath. Even if we can't get out, we'll die here together. With a human accompanying you in death, you won't be alone on the road to the underworld!"
Ming Huan was mad. Who wanted humans to die with him? Their lifespans were so short and so worthless!
Ming Huan grabbed Simon's face angrily and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Get to work and find the snake!!"
Simon's face was hurt by being scratched, so he gave up trying to appease Ming Huan and focused on looking for the snake.
Two hours later, Simon finally found the little gray snake in a crack in the rock.
The gray snake coiled itself into a mosquito coil and stuffed itself into the crevice of the rock. When Simon found her, she was biting herself non-stop.
"It's all my fault! If I hadn't gone to find Sister Bai, she wouldn't have died!"
"If I hadn't eaten Xu Xian, Sister Bai wouldn't have died!"
"If my magic power were a little stronger, I would be able to defeat Fahai!"
"It's all my fault!" The gray snake coiled like a mosquito coil kept biting its tail in Simon's palm.
Simon touched the gray snake's head in silence. Whenever he opened up the patient's inner pain, he felt that all the languages in the world were too poor, so poor that they could not heal the wounds of the past.
"You're right!" Ming Huan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly interrupted.
The gray snake looked at the outsider.
"A demon, what's the point of falling in love with a human?! She was betrayed in the end, yet she still tried to save him. How foolish!" Ming Huan thought such a demon was shameful! He planned to return and ban the rumor that White Snake had met him. The Demon Lord would never have anything to do with such a stupid snake demon!
The gray snake continued to cry.
Ming Huan gathered up his patience. "Those people deserved to die! Xu Xian got it so easy. They killed Bai Niangzi and just said sorry. Let's go! Let's find Xu Xian and eat him alive. Oh, and eat his warm soul along with him!"
The gray snake continued to cry.
"Stop crying! Send us back quickly, or you'll really start crying soon!"
Gray Snake is still crying!
The Demon Lord tried to comfort it for the first time, but failed!
The irritable and helpless Demon Lord could only turn his head and look at the psychologist.
Yes, many people will fall into self-blame and guilt, and no matter how others try to persuade them, it will be useless.
Many people will keep making mistakes, even if they know it is wrong.
Many people will fall into long-term depression and pain, and even if they are given the whole world, they will not be happy.
Most people, when faced with such people, are helpless and can only sigh and give up.
But the psychologist will not give up, nor will he become angry when persuasion is useless.
Because—this is their professional skill. How to help people get rid of grief, self-blame, guilt, and other negative emotions is their specialty! They make money from this!
Simon took the gray snake back into his hand and whispered, "Look into my eyes."
Although the gray snake was sad, it didn't take up too much mental energy to look into the other person's eyes, so it raised its eyelids and looked into Simon's eyes.
Simon knew it was time to pick up the scalpel of a psychiatrist.
Scalpel No. 1, its name is: psychological disturbance technology.
The psychological perturbation techniques, if they are too complex, could fill several books.
To put it simply, it is very simple - by constantly asking questions, you can trigger the other person's thinking, thereby breaking down and reconstructing the original psychological cognition.
The reason many people suffer is not because the real events are so terrible, but because their understanding of the events is distorted and incorrect.
Simon quickly analyzed what happened to the little gray snake in his mind.
This little gray snake, who had just come down the mountain, encountered the love affair between Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi.
The consequences were of course serious. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing both died, and there was also a child who died in the womb.
But from another perspective, how much impact did this incident have on the little gray snake's real life?
The little gray snake was still alive, its cultivation unaffected, it had been injured, but not seriously, and its lair had not been destroyed. Fahai killed the two monsters and left without pursuing the little gray snake.
So, maybe it may not be very kind of a snake to say this, but in fact, this incident did not have any terrible impact on the little gray snake's real life.
Even more so, this incident also brought her some new experiences. If handled properly, it would allow her to learn from it, be more vigilant, and stay away from scumbag men in her future practice life.
Moreover, even if we take a step back, the little gray snake took all the blame for Bai Suzhen's tragic death on himself, which is a complete disrespect for objective facts.
So, the first step to help the little gray snake escape from the whirlpool of emotions is to let her recognize the real facts, not the facts she imagined.
Simon put the little snake on the ground, reached out and touched the little gray snake's head. He said, "Yes, this is very sad, and you think it's all your fault."
The little gray snake nodded desperately.
Simon's words were much nicer than Ming Huan's. This matter was originally his fault! If he hadn't come to find Bai Suzhen...
"If you hadn't come to find Bai Suzhen, what do you think would happen now?" Simon asked without losing the opportunity.
The little gray snake said without hesitation: "She won't die!"
"Tsk! Idiot!" Ming Huan couldn't stand it any longer. He knew this psychiatrist was a liar. How could he charge 400 yuan an hour? What's the point of talking to a stupid snake? Let her suffer!
Simon was very calm, as he had met many patients and answered questions without thinking.
At this time, you need the guidance of a psychologist.
Simon tried to soften his voice. "Don't rush to answer me. Take two deep breaths first. Think carefully about this: if you were still on the mountain and didn't come down, what would have happened between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen?"
Simon added some hypnosis techniques to his voice, which can make emotionally excited patients calm down quickly and do what the psychologist says.
Sure enough, after hearing this sound, the little gray snake took two deep breaths and thought seriously.
If I were still on the mountain...
Well, Xu Xian went to see the old monk in Jinshan Temple several days ago.
So the old monk will still arrive as scheduled, will still find Bai Suzhen, Bai Suzhen will still fight with him, will still be defeated, and in the end will still... die.
The little gray snake was very sad and reluctant: "Sister Bai will not live."
"So, her death is destined at this moment. It doesn't matter whether you come to find her or not!" Simon said gently.
The little gray snake nodded weakly. Yes, whether I came early or late, the outcome would be the same.
“If I didn’t go to eat Xu Xian, Sister Bai wouldn’t…” said the little gray snake.
"Really?" Simon asked.
Of course, that's not true! The White Snake didn't die saving Xu Xian. The two monsters were no match for Fahai. Whether the little gray snake went to eat Xu Xian or not made the only difference: whether the two monsters died together or one by one.
"But if my magic power was stronger..." the little gray snake said unwillingly.
"Can your magic power really be increased?" Simon pressed on. The little gray snake huddled in agony. This was the thing she couldn't forgive herself for the most—her magic power was too low to defeat Fahai and save the White Snake.
"You have been practicing day and night since you were born, without slacking off for a moment. Can you really defeat Fahai?" The psychologists will not have any mercy at this time. They will only take advantage of the victory at this moment.
The little gray snake sighed.
He has been practicing diligently since birth, not wasting a single second - but due to his talent, he can only reach the level of a green fish spirit.
Even if it were two green carps and a white snake, to be fair, they were no match for Fahai.
The little gray snake shook his head helplessly, and finally admitted it unwillingly: "Even if I don't come to find my sister, even if I don't eat Xu Xian, even if I practice seriously... I can't change this."
"So, why are you blaming yourself for something that is impossible to do?!" Simon asked.
The little gray snake looked confused.
It wasn't too sad anymore, because—it was confused! A confused snake couldn't be sad.
