183、You are a beast
The egret looked at the two words on the ground and exclaimed: "That little sparrow is really not simple, it actually learned it!"
Baima nodded and pondered: "This shows that it already has the ability to learn and imitate, as well as the complex spatial memory ability... Where did it fly? I called it over and did some tests, and I can teach it well during this period."
The white horse walked around the open space and neighed in all directions. The horse's neigh was loud and could be heard far away, but its tone seemed very gentle, as if coaxing a child, it was summoning the little sparrow. Seeing that its attention was entirely on the little sparrow, the egret said a little dissatisfied: "Are you staying here specifically to play with birds?"
Baima stood still and turned his head and said, "Are you a bird here?" After saying that, he immediately felt something was wrong and quickly explained, "I, I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong!"
This damn beast country, what he said was a direct spiritual thought, and even concealed it. Ding Qi might have no other meaning, but who knows, it depends on how Xian Hao understood it. The egret seemed a little angry and embarrassed, and flew up and pecked at the white horse with its long beak, showing its sharpness.
The white horse turned around and ran away, fleeing in panic. A little sparrow flew from afar, staring at this scene in amazement. When did the horse become the food for herons? Can egrets be eaten by such a big guy? And they don't seem to be hunting or escaping... and follow behind to see the fun.
Perhaps because the white horse ran too fast, the egret never hurt it. As the running, the white horse turned around panting and said, "Stop making trouble, that little sparrow has come and is following us."
Bai Er looked back and said, "It flew very fast, and it could actually keep up... Ding Qi, I will spare you this time, see if you dare to talk nonsense in the future? I still have the accounts to settle with you!"
Baima: "Is it because I suddenly decided to stay here just now, but I didn't discuss it with you in advance?"
Egret: "It's good that you know!"
Baima sighed and said, "Actually, you and her are two people after all..."
Bai Er stamped his feet and said, "It's been so long, you're still so confused, I'm Xian Hao!" After saying that, it ignored Baima and greeted the little sparrow again, "Little sparrow, come with me and ignore this bastard."
Bai Er actually said such words in the beast country, which was the real idea in his heart. Bai Ma sighed again. Xian Jiao has been acting as Xian Hao after appearing. She has been too immersed in the role of the show and really treats herself as Xian Hao. Ding Qi doesn't know what to say.
Xiao Jiang, the "cleaner" guarding under the iron lock cliff, finally made a major discovery at noon today, and Zhu Shanxian's group came out again! Near the top of the cliff, a surveillance was installed at the hidden rock crack, and there were also eavesdropping machines on the other side that were difficult to detect. The first person to come up was Tan Hanchuan, whose figure just blocked the camera of the monitor, and there was no way to see how many people came up from the video.
But that doesn't matter. The video of them falling from the top of the cliff at night was also taken. Although it was a little blurry, it could be seen that a total of six people had gone down, and this time they were also recorded their conversation.
Zhu Shanxian said: "It's great. We finally opened this world and found the legendary Jinshanyuan."
Tan Hanchuan: "It's a pity that time is too hasty. Kingsoft Courtyard has not opened yet. We'll be back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
Just two simple conversations, but enough information has been revealed. After hearing this, Xiao Jiang was overjoyed and quickly forwarded the detailed information and all surveillance records to Zhang Wangxiong, which also means that he does not have to stay in the wilderness during the Spring Festival.
Zhang Wangxiong was also surprised when he received the news. After considering various possibilities, he finally made a decision to gather all his elite subordinates and arrive at the Iron Suo Cliff on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. He wanted to block Zhu Shanxian and others at the most appropriate time. In any case, he would ask Zhu Shanxian how to open the Jinshanyuan... As for what to do next, he would act when he saw the opportunity.
Zhang Wangxiong thought about it for a long time and decided not to notify Tian Zhongluo for the time being. He and Tian Zhongluo were just cooperative relationships. Although they respected this senior of the Cemen on the surface, they were not the other party’s disciple or subordinate. After finding Jinshanyuan, Tian Zhongluo did not make any contributions. They were clues that Zhang Wangxiong himself found, so there was no need to share the benefits with the other party.
As he thought about it, Zhang Wangxiong couldn't help but feel excited. Tian Zhongluo always gave him the feeling of a paranormal expert. He was indeed a paranormal expert. He had a strange rock realm in the outside world. His state of mind and manner were not all pretended, but also naturally revealed. If you can have a world, then when facing the world, you will naturally have the confidence to be unknown.
What Tian Zhongluo can have, he will also have. It is an independent kingdom that only belongs to him! There is still time left, and he can make sufficient preparations...
In the threshold of the river and lake, the clues you get are all the clues that the other party intentionally lets you discover. If you follow these discoveries, you will fall into the trap that the other party has designed long ago. In the ball game, the other party knows what you want and what is the most valuable to you, so you will create it and sell it to you.
Both sides are old martial arts, but even if Zhang Wangxiong knew that there might be something wrong with this matter, he would do this. He could only try to prepare more fully and plan more securely. No matter which kind of martial arts, the key to success is whether the setter has grasped the advantages of information asymmetry, and the situation in the beast country is the biggest trump card for Zhu Shanxian and others.
Not to mention how Zhang Wangxiong planned his actions, Ding Qi has lived in the beast country these days. He first confirmed one thing: the little sparrow already has a self-awareness. He can not only distinguish what a sparrow is, but also know that he is a sparrow. He can not only understand the concepts of group and individuals, but also realize the difference between the object and the subject.
Ding Qi also came to a conclusion that this sparrow is a creature in the beast country, not a beast that people outside turn into after coming in. The reason is very simple. If it is a person who comes in outside, due to Ding Qi's induction, he will gradually remember who he is, but this sparrow is still a sparrow.
This little sparrow is undoubtedly lucky because it met Ding Qi. If a sparrow has activated its intelligence and possesses the intelligence and learning ability to transcend species, will it definitely transcend the race? That may not be, and the probability is very small! Because the environment in which it grows and lives is still among a group of sparrows, excessive intelligence will only make it confused and distressed.
Not to mention sparrows, even a normal human being, if he grew up in a group of animals from a young age, he would not grow up normally. There are examples of wolf children, pig children, etc. around the world. Because they cannot get normal communication, let alone social civilization system and knowledge inheritance.
Fortunately, Ding Qi came, for the little sparrow, it opened a door to a new world, with endless unknowns and possibilities. If it was still alone in the beast country, still staying among a group of sparrows, gradually gaining self-awareness, just like a little inspiration, it might gradually grow, but it is more likely that it will never go further.
In just a few days, the little sparrow learned a lot from Ding Qi. If the first test is done, its IQ will be equivalent to a five- or six-year-old child to some extent, and then in a few days, it will be equivalent to a seven- or eight-year-old child. Such rapid progress is like opening up the shackles of spiritual intelligence. But Ding Qi can only do so much now, and the growth of this little sparrow still depends on learning and accumulation.
Xian Hao certainly liked such a smart little sparrow. She discussed with Ding Qi: "What name should be given to it? You can't always call it a little sparrow, right?"
Ding Qi: "Just call it small."
Coincidentally, it is the pronunciation of "天" in Beijing dialect. This little sparrow has its own name since then, and it also knows that it is its name and can also write it on the ground with its claws. Unfortunately, Ding Qi wanted to teach it to speak for the time being, but he couldn't do it, even if he could understand human language.
Direct communication of spiritual thoughts is indeed very convenient, but there are many restrictions here, because Ding Qi cannot speak directly, and he makes a horse's neighing sound. If he wants to teach this little sparrow to understand the real human language, he may have to wait for the unicorn that Mr. Zhuang transformed into comes in.
But Mr. Zhuang cannot teach a sparrow here specifically to understand human language. Ding Qi and Xian Hao discussed this issue, and he also thought of two other ways. The first is to take Xiao Qiao out in the future, and the second is to completely break the world and open the Jinshan Academy. It "re-" practices into adults in the beast country.
But these two conditions are not met at the moment, Xian Hao pointed out another possibility. She reminded Ding Qi: "Don't you have that special talent? You can hypnotize the sparrow and let it enter your spiritual world. In your spiritual world, of course you can speak human language and teach it to understand those words."
Ding Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoqiao cannot meet the requirements yet. It needs to have stronger understanding ability, otherwise it will be very capable of accepting hints and guidance. Even if it meets the conditions, it will be difficult for me to do it. That is not ordinary mental labor."
Not everyone is suitable for being hypnotized. For example, hypnotizing mentally ill patients like Tian Qi is very difficult and dangerous. Ding Qi used very special guidance and suggestion methods at the beginning. Hypnosis is not about letting Xiao Qiao fall asleep. If it is that simple, Ding Qi has some solutions.
Xian Hao’s suggestion is not only to let Xiaoqiao enter the subconscious state, but also to remain awake in this state, and then be guided into Ding Qi’s spiritual world. Even if Xiaoqiao can do it, it is difficult for Ding Qi to do it at the moment.
It's OK to do some experiments, but don't forget that the purpose is to teach a sparrow to learn human language! Such hypnosis requires the most concentration. The hypnosis master is quite tired. It is not less expensive than the official competitions of professional Go players. It will definitely not be completed in a short period of time, and the long-term consumption will be beyond imagination.
Xian Hao smiled and said, "Take it slow. Maybe when your cultivation level is deeper in the future, these things will not be a problem."
Ding Qi: "When that time, I may teach it directly, there is no need to be so complicated."
Life in the country of beasts is both fulfilling and free, and only by being in it can you experience it. As a beast, there is nothing else, and the things you bring in cannot be summoned, and it seems that you don’t need to. There is no need to pay attention to worldly disputes, or even people’s hearts, income issues, work issues, interpersonal relationship issues, and housing issues. It seems that you don’t have to consider these.
For white horses and egrets, there is no need to even consider survival issues.
The white horse did not build a stable for itself. The best place to rest is the white soft grass under the tree where the Qilin once slept. The egret also found a place in the canopy, like a natural and very comfortable bird nest.
They are practicing fasting skills, and the time they stayed in the beast country was the best ritual to purify their body and mind. They taught them daily. In addition to the Jinshanyuan covered by the mountains and river formation, they have traveled all over the world. Ding Qi has been sacrificing beast talismans, and at the same time, he is also sacrificing his own Jingwen Stone.
The size of this world is slightly smaller than that of Xiaojing Lake, and is slightly round with a diameter of more than 30 kilometers. A river originates from the mountains at the east end, dividing the entire beast country into two irregular parts, and forming a large lake and wetland at the western end of the world, where many egrets and gray herons live.
Just looking at it, the egrets transformed into Xian Hao and the egrets here are not much larger.
To the north of the river is grassland, covered with snow in winter, accounting for about one-third of the world. To the south of the river are rolling hills and valleys, and Kingsoft Courtyard is located in the center of the world.
There are many species of animals here, forming a complete food chain. In addition to sparrows, egrets, and gray herons, there are many species of birds. There are species of raptors that eat carrion, which looks a bit like vultures, but are slightly smaller than vultures. This type of bird of prey not only pecks at the corpses of animals, but also captures small animals.
Ding Qi has never seen the largest beast in the beast country before. His head looks a bit like a big dog, but his body has stripes like a tiger. His body is smaller than a tiger and similar to a leopard. Ding Qi gave it a name called the striped tiger. There are also rabbits, deer, deer and the largest red deer.
The four kinds of mountain delicacies praised by the people of Ding Qi's hometown are gathered together in the beast country. Unfortunately, Ding Qi is just a horse and is still fasting now, so of course he can't enjoy it.
There are birds of prey and beasts in the beast country, which will pose a threat to Xiaoqiao, so Ding Qi and Xian Hao often reminded the sparrow to react when encountering situations. In short, try to avoid danger and ensure survival.
Sparrows are a kind of group animal, often in large groups, which is also a protection for the survival of the ethnic group. The strongest and most flexible sparrows can survive. Xiaoqiao has now left the sparrow group and is of course not dangerous to follow Ding Qi and Xian Hao, but Ding Qi and Xian Hao cannot stay in the beast country forever, and they cannot take Xiaoqiao out for the time being, so they can only remind themselves to pay attention to safety.
Seeing that Ding Qi was very worried about Xiaoqiao, Xian Hao comforted him: "Actually, we don't have to worry too much. Xiaoqiao is smart. Haven't you noticed that its senses are very sharp, and its hearing, smell and vision are far superior to ordinary sparrows."
It was not that Ding Qi did not discover it, but that he did not pay attention, because he did not regard Xiaoqiao as an ordinary sparrow at all. At this moment, he realized it and couldn't help but sigh: "When I first cultivated the state of observing the body, I also experienced this process, and my senses became very sharp. If I didn't know how to adjust myself, I would be very uncomfortable."
Xian Hao nodded and said, "We have all experienced it. Before we came, Xiaoqiao had already passed that adaptation stage. Consciousness comes from the senses. Sensory sharpness is the prerequisite for clarity of consciousness. No matter what secret method we practice, this is the first step."
Ding Qi: "What about the second step?"
Xian Hao: "Is the second step more ? A sharp sense means vigorous mental activities, and energy requires physical strength. The second step is of course a strong and healthy physique. This is the so-called second realm. When you and Shang Ni entered Xiaojing Lake, they became ill, but others did not. This is the reason."
Ding Qi asked with interest: "In this way, if Xiaoqiao also had this physique, we could safely take it out of the beast country, but how can we see it?"
Xian Hao thought about it and said: "Maybe you can observe the changes in body shape. It breaks through the limitations of species during its growth, and may also react in physical characteristics. For example, it is obviously bigger than other sparrows, and the appearance of ordinary sparrows is obviously not good... For example, you and me, although they have transformed into beasts, are they the same as ordinary beasts?"
Ding Qi nodded and said, "You are so right, you are more experienced than me!"
Xian Hao suddenly said angrily: "What do you mean?"
Uh, Ding Qi seemed to have said the wrong thing again, but this time he really had no other meaning. He quickly shook his horse's head and said, "You think too much, I just praise you for being more knowledgeable than me." At this moment, he saw Xiaoqiao flying from a distance again. He suddenly remembered a question and asked, "Xian Hao, we still don't know whether Xiaoqiao is a male or a female, how can we recognize it?"
Xian Hao: "Ding Qi, you beast! What are you thinking? You even sparrows..."
Ding Qi was stunned when he said this, and he fully realized Xian Hao's current thinking and asked for directions. He looked at Xian Hao and said, "I didn't think of anything. You actually reacted like this. I want to ask-what are you thinking?"
After all, Ding Qi is also a psychologist, and the so-called conversation here is a communication of spiritual thoughts. Xian Hao said Ding Qi exactly what she was thinking. If she hadn't transformed into an egret, Xian Hao's face would probably be red at this moment, so he simply turned his head and ignored Ding Qi.
