So far, Li Yi has behaved like a normal person and has not done anything out of the ordinary. But there are many "normal" mental patients who are often very abnormal in some aspects.
"Brother Yi, when I came in I saw you sitting cross-legged on the bed, what were you doing?"
"Meditate and comprehend the world." Li Yi answered without hesitation.
Here it comes.
Zhao Si continued to ask: "Why are you meditating? I heard that you, Brother Yi, meditate all day long and rarely lie down. This is not conducive to recovery."
“........” Li Yi was silent. He didn’t know how to answer Zhao Si. His experience was beyond common sense, and even he thought he was dreaming.
"Xiao Si, if I say that I have not been asleep for the past ten years and have gone to another place, would you believe it?"
Most mentally ill people do not think they are mentally ill.
Zhao Si replied calmly: "I believe you. Can you tell me what you have experienced in the past ten years?"
Psychological treatment can be roughly divided into two types: one is drug treatment, and the other is psychological counseling, which is also called talk therapy. As the saying goes, mental illness cannot be cured by medicine, so if you want to recover, you still have to rely on talk therapy.
People with delusional disorders often cannot distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion, and they fabricate a false fantasy for some reason.
However, Zhao Si found that he had underestimated Li Yi. After getting his answer of belief, the other party looked at him quietly. Under those calm eyes, it seemed that he was completely uncovered, both physically and mentally.
"Xiao Si, ten years have passed and you are still the same. You can't lie."
“........” It was the first time that Zhao Si felt nervous when facing a patient.
"Heh..." Li Yi chuckled, then lowered his eyelids and looked at the bed sheet, and said slowly: "It's not ten years, but five thousand seven hundred and thirty years. I changed my name to Li Changsheng, looking for immortals, asking immortals, and cultivating immortals. I don't fight or compete, I don't take elixirs, I don't practice methods, and I don't practice magic weapons. I opened the immortal gate with my sword, stepped on the Buddhist sect, and suppressed the world. At first they called me a demon, then they called me a Taoist priest of immortality, and later they respected me as a mortal immortal, a living immortal."
"And now I can't feel any energy from heaven and earth."
Cultivation has become his instinct, but the modern age is not suitable for cultivation. He has been meditating for so many days and can only absorb a trace of spiritual energy from the heaven and earth with difficulty. If he wants to reach the standard of drawing qi into the body and opening the spiritual platform, it may take ten years. It may not be possible to build a foundation for a thousand years. This is the most important era of the Dharma Ending Age.
There is a feeling of confusion as to where the road is heading.
He is the only one who knows the world of cultivation, just as he is the only one in the world of cultivation who knows the modern times.
"I'm a little confused... maybe it's just my imagination..."
"Tell me about it. It's not good to be depressed by someone." Zhao Si was delighted. It seemed that Brother Yi's delusion was relatively mild. The hospital determined that it was severe delusion probably because of meditation. It can overcome physiological problems. If it is a Taoist priest, it is a master, but if it is a patient, it is a serious delusion.
"Okay, just think of it as...listening to a story."
"I was born in an ordinary farming family. I didn't have any way to become an immortal. I just relied on a book of Qi training techniques to enter the immortal world. I followed the path of the ancient Qi training masters. I stayed in my hometown until I was a hundred years old. I said I was cultivating immortality, but in fact I was just a mortal who could refine Qi and transform it into essence. I didn't know anything else, and I made a lot of jokes along the way."
The grassroots character is just like Brother Yi in reality.
Zhao Si thought to himself, and continued to ask questions without changing his expression, asking the patient to continue: "What is the difference between a Qi Refiner and an Immortal Cultivator?"
"There is no difference in essence, but immortal cultivation is more about fighting. You need to learn and fight for the law, land, friends, wealth, the six arts of immortal cultivation, and many other things. Qi cultivators only focus on refining qi into essence, but since they don't have the resources to practice, it is generally difficult for them to achieve the great way. I personally am not good at fighting and I don't like being busy, so I spend most of my time in meditation, and in my spare time I refine pills to cure diseases and save lives."
Li Yi returned to the topic: "I was born in a farmer's family in Qingshui Village. My grandfather used to be a wandering Taoist priest who cheated people. I was smarter than other children of my age and became a child prodigy in the surrounding area. The village raised funds for me to go to a private school........."
Soon, the only sound in the huge ward was Li Yi's leisurely narration. A picture scroll of an ancient farmer and cattle herder unfolded before Zhao Si. The emperor's eloquence and story were very realistic, as if he had really experienced a time travel. Picture after picture emerged in his mind, and Li Yi's simple words could make him immediately imagine the picture.
The dilapidated farmhouse, the rural scenery, the childhood sweethearts, the high-spirited examination room...
It is what is called the resonance between heaven and man. The spirit that Li Yi exuded unintentionally affected the room, and words were the medium.
In Li Yi's fictional world, he is a farm boy who relies on his modern memories and adult IQ to become a child prodigy in the area. He became a student at the age of 8 and a scholar at the age of 13. He became famous overnight and was often invited to the county magistrate's mansion as a guest.
He was engaged when he was young. The little girl next door was beautiful, well-educated and the two of them were childhood sweethearts.
He has career, love and a future. He is simply a winner in life.
Just like before he turned into a vegetable, except that he didn't have a childhood sweetheart, he was basically an enviable existence.
Zhao Si vaguely grasped the "cause" of Li Yi's illness. He was unwilling to accept that his life was ruined, so he made up a world where his life was still brilliant and vigorous.
"I thought my life would be like this, but something went wrong. The county governor who was very close to me was exiled by the new emperor because he stood on the wrong side, and I was implicated and could not participate in the imperial examination. My former classmates all distanced themselves from me, but fortunately my fiancée never gave up on me. In the end, I gave up my official career, returned to the village, married my fiancée, opened a private school, and my life was pretty good."
