246、Like a person
When the mountain road under your feet became steep, Ding Qi saw the Dream Flower. It does look a bit like the daylily flower, but the flower plate is larger than the daylily flower. The slender flower body is divided into five petals at the top. The edges of the petals are crimson red, while the stamens are purple. The color of the whole flower is too much like the spectrum is colorful.
Dream flowers do not grow in large areas. They are distributed on the hillside. You can see several clumps every time you walk a short distance. The leaves look like orchids. Ding Qi heard the buzzing sound again, and then saw the thumb bee, almost shocked.
He had never seen such a big bee, much larger than bumblebees and hornets, and its size was about the same as that of an adult little finger. From time to time, thumb bees flew around in the flowers. Cui Shanhai told everyone that it would be enough not to provoke them, and thumb bees would not attack people on their own initiative.
Tan Hanchuan asked again: "Is this thumb bee toxic?"
Cui Shanhai replied: "It's very toxic. I tried to be bitten by it, and it immediately bulged a big bag, which hurts very much. Ordinary people may not be fatal if they are bitten by three or five times, but they will be extremely uncomfortable. But if they are bitten by more than ten times and are not treated in time, it will be dangerous. It will cause nerve paralysis, which will lead to breathing difficulties and even cardiac arrest..."
Shang Ni: "You are so brave, how dare you try this?"
Cui Shanhai: "Like Lao Tan, I am all engaged in scientific research! In fact, it doesn't matter if I get bitten a few times occasionally, but it can increase resistance. As long as you don't smell like bamboo liquor or steal their nectar, the thumb bees will not attack you in groups."
Shi Buquan: "Stealing nectar? I heard you say that, I must have done it!"
Cui Shanhai smiled: "I did. The antidote of the thumb bee is the nectar they make. The best one is Mengsheng nectar, which happens to be the honey collected in this season. You can steal it in about half a month."
Tan Hanchuan laughed and said, "Xiao Cui, you have such naughty times. How can you avoid the pursuit of a large group of thumb bees?"
Cui Shanhai: "It's hard to hide. You have to be bitten a few times. Later I used protective clothing."
Tan Hanchuan: "Feeling at the size of the thumb bee, the protective clothing and mask worn by ordinary beekeepers are definitely not very useful."
Cui Shanhai: "Of course, the fencing suit and fencing mask I tried at the beginning were not the kind used for training, but for regular competitions. The leg protection was a little weaker and I had to wear thick leather boots. Later, I tried several new materials, which were better than fencing suits."
Tan Hanchuan: "Is it the space suit material worn by astronauts?"
Cui Shanhai: "You guessed it as soon as I said it, it's true."
Yan Binbin said in surprise: "Master Cui Feng, are you wearing a space suit and stealing honey?"
Cui Shanhai explained with a smile: "Of course it's not a real space suit, so I can't afford it, even if I can afford it, I can't. I have tried many kinds of materials in the development of space suits, and several of them are very suitable for making protective clothing for stealing honey, so I chose one of them, and then I still wear a mask for fencing suits, which is very useful!"
Shi Buquan: "You really know how to play. When can you take us to steal honey?"
Cui Shanhai: "It depends on the situation. I am not prepared today. It is best not to mess with Thumb Bee. Moreover, that thing is not much different from ordinary honey except toxins that can relieve Thumb Bee. There is no need to steal too much. I just prepared some inventory to prevent accidents. The thing has a long shelf life and can be stored for a long time."
Zhuang Mengzhou, who was walking in the front, turned around and asked, "After drinking bamboo wine soaked with Mengsheng stamens, you will be attacked by the thumb bee. What if you sprinkle the nectar of the thumb bee directly on your body?"
Cui Shanhai: "You must not try it, the effect is similar to poking a honeycomb."
Zhu Shanxian seemed to joke: "If you dilute the honey, put it in a spray bottle, and accidentally spray it on someone... In this world, it is a good agent for traveling at home and making secrets!"
Shui Ruo was slightly stunned: "Does District Mayor Zhu give us some advice? If someone comes here to make a mistake, just give him this... But be careful, you have to stand on the limelight and surprise and don't touch yourself."
Tan Hanchuan nodded and said, "In this way, the area where thumb bees are distributed is a natural barrier and trap... Today, the people present should not talk nonsense to the outside world."
Ye Zongqing quickly spoke, "According to the constitution of the Fangwai Alliance, no experiences and experiences when visiting other Fangwai Worlds must be disclosed to other members of the Alliance. Of course we will abide by them. Thank you for your trust today and designing secret matters. I will not tell others in Wuxin Valley, Bobo, Xiaoshi, you must remember!"
There were three groups of people visiting Xiangshui Peak today, Cui Shanhai, Shui Ruo, and Li Zhiyao, who were from Xiangshui Peak. Tan Hanchuan and seven others trusted each other very much. Ye Zongqing, Yan Binbin, Shi Heyu and others were relatively unfamiliar, but Xiangshui Peak was able to invite them here, and Xiangshui Peak also showed a frank and trusting attitude.
Having said that, Ye Zongqing immediately expressed his opinion that many of the secrets he saw today would definitely not be revealed, even to the others in Wuxin Valley.
When they were talking, Ding Qi was also paying attention to the reactions of everyone and found that Li Zhiyao had wanted to speak but stopped. Ding Qi and Xian Hao exchanged glances, and they understood each other.
The thumb bee swarm is a protective method in Xiangshui Peak. Even if Zhu Shanxian doesn’t remind him, how could the ancestors of Xiangshui Peak and Cui Shanhai and his wife not think of it? I guess they knew this move long ago!
But Zhuang Mengzhou just made the topic clear, and Cui Shanhai and his wife couldn't say that we had mastered this method of dealing with people long ago, so we had to pretend to be surprised. I believe Li Zhiyao was also aware of this.
As he spoke, the road under his feet became steeper and steeper, but it had not exceeded the limit of ordinary people. It was just that the weak had difficulty getting up. After walking for about half an hour, everyone walked out of the mountains and forests and heard the sound of water like thunder. In front of him was a waterfall dozens of meters high, and under the waterfall was a deep pool of waves and white mist.
Cui Shanhai led everyone to the left to the mountain wall, and there was a stone staircase along the cliff. You could admire the waterfall from the height of the side. After winding for hundreds of meters, you finally climbed to the top of the cliff and looked at the lake. I saw that the surrounding mountains were like embraces, and nine streams flowed into a lake from different angles, and the water outlet of the lake was the waterfall.
Ye Zongqing sighed, "Good land! This lake and that waterfall should have names... Hey, what's wrong with you?" Halfway through her words, she found that the three people on Xiangshui Peak looked a little strange.
Li Zhiyao touched his nose and said, "The big lake above is called Shanglongtan, and the pool below is called Xialongtan. The waterfall we see is called Feilong Waterfall."
Everyone laughed. There are so many places called Longtan, even in the outside world, and I met them here again. Walking along the lakeshore with laughter, it is easy and pleasant to enjoy the mountains and rivers. The mountain streams are not deep, and the small streams that flow into the lake are sprinkled very well and can flow directly. There are bridges where big stones are used to make their way.
When he reached the end of this valley, Cui Shanhai did not take them to continue visiting the lake, and pointed to a gap on the cliff: "I have to enter the hole again from here. It is a shortcut to reach the main peak. No one with less physical strength can get up."
There are many such rock cracks in this area, and the cracks are so dark that they are unknown. This rock crack is not eye-catching. You can stand straight and walk in. Turn on the flashlight and find that it is curved and deep inside, and the space is getting wider and wider. It actually enters a complex underground cave with various forks.
The temperature in the depths of the cave was extremely cold, almost close to zero degrees, and there were not many common bats in the cave. Fortunately, everyone was extremely physical, at least they had practiced it. Following Cui Shanhai, the guide, drilled up and down, and after about half an hour, he finally came out of the mountain wall.
This place is very hidden. Just in the depression below the cliff, there are stone niches connected by semi-artificial and half-natural corridors. You can see the upper dragon pool at the foot of the mountain and the outline of the courtyard in the distance, but it is difficult for people at the foot of the mountain to see clearly. Walking along the stone niches that are open at the bottom of the cliff, there are a row of chiseled stone chambers in front, and there are statues in the stone niches next to the road.
Unlike ordinary religious statues, each statue here is extremely realistic, and is carved vividly, including every fold on the clothes and every wrinkle on the corners of the forehead and eyes, which are clearly carved. It is hard to imagine that it is carved by hand, just like it was printed out in 3D after scanning by a real person.
Moreover, these statues were either carved and placed here. The bases were completely integrated with the mountain rocks, or were directly carved out from the mountain rocks. There were twenty-five statues, including men, women, and even monks and Taoists. In the eyes of an expert like A Quan, the age can be judged from the clothes. The earliest statue was dressed in the costumes of the Tang Dynasty and was a plump woman.
According to Cui Shanhai, these statues are the ancestors of Xiangshui Peak. The next peak owner carved and built statues for the former peak owner, which is also the tradition of Xiangshui Peak. Shi Buquan said in surprise: "How can he be carved so realistically? No sculpture style in ancient and modern times, China and abroad are similar!"
Cui Shanhai introduced: "This is the style of Xiangshui Peak, and it is also the cultivation and inheritance of Xiangshui Peak..."
The inheritance of Xiangshui Peak includes the Fire Gate Furnace and Cauldron Art, and it is based on the Furnace and Cauldron Art. However, the secret is not limited to this, but there are other methods of cultivation and verification. Making statues for the ancestors is one of them. There was no photography technology in ancient times, and there was no laser holographic technology. Only after the previous peak master left, the descendants of the peak masters would create statues for him. How could they be carved so realistically?
They have never learned carving, nor have they graduated from the Art Academy's Shaping Major, but they have all practiced a visualization method - visualization master. Many sects of practice have inherited visualization. For example, Tantra has methods such as visualization deity, visualization master, etc., but the visualization method is not limited to a certain sect.
By visualizing the specific image of the master at a certain period, and then accurately carve out the image, seeing the image as a human being. Visualizing it out and carving it into it represents a state of cultivation. This process cannot be failed. If you are not sure, you can take it slowly, but you must succeed from beginning to end.
After listening to Cui Shanhai's introduction, Ding Qi felt that the cultivation and inheritance of Xiangshui Peak had a profound meaning. If he had already achieved great success, it would be not difficult to do this. He controlled the axe with his spiritual sense, and as long as he entered the country, he would spend some effort, even if he had never learned sculpture, he could complete such a statue.
However, the masters of Xiangshui Peak have never had great success in their dynasties. Most of them may not have broken through the great success realm in their lives, so they must rely on their unique visualization.
Every time he walked by a statue of the ancestor, Cui Shanhai would bow and bow, and everyone would follow him. After seeing all the twenty-five statues, Ding Qi also discovered that the "author" of the three statues should have achieved great success. These three statues all appeared in the Ming Dynasty and were arranged continuously. The author of one of the statues should have a higher level of cultivation than he was at this time.
Although these twenty-five statues are all reappeared like real people, they are also different. Twenty-two of them seem to be peeled from stones. How can I describe them? They already have the image of a master in their mind, peeling off the wrapped rocks layer by layer to reveal the image, which is completely in line with the process of carving with visualization introduced by Cui Shanhai.
As for the other three statues, it doesn't feel like this, just like a real person standing here and turning into a stone statue. Of course, it is impossible for a real person to turn into a stone statue. This only means that the carving person has mastered the divine consciousness, and at least he has achieved great success.
In particular, one of the statues was a Taoist who was tall and hairpin, which gave Ding Qi almost a living feeling, which made Ding Qi think of Tao Xin again. Ding Qi even speculated that if he entered the country to sense this image, he could communicate with a certain ancestor of Xiangshui Peak, and even obtain all the inheritance of Xiangshui Peak from the other party.
But Ding Qi did not do this without authorization. He was only invited to visit the guest at this moment, and it was impossible for him to be so rude in front of Cui Shanhai. Moreover, sensing the divine mind seal in the stone statue was like seeing the real person of that year. He could not deceive each other under such divine mind communication. The other party would naturally know his identity. Without special reasons, he would not be given a legacy for no reason.
I remember that Ding Qi met "Tao Xin" in the Qin Gaotai world, but Tao Xin did not hand over the inheritance of the secret realm of the heaven and earth and the treasure of the control world to him, but only had a friendly exchange with him. This also shows one thing: even if outsiders come here and can sense the idea of controlling the gods in the statue, if they are not kind, it may be difficult to use this to plan the inheritance and successor of Xiangshui Peak.
Seeing the Taoist statue, Ding Qi paid special attention to the next stone statue, which was a scholar, who was the master who left the idea of controlling the gods. Because according to the tradition of Xiangshui Peak, the Taoist statue was carved by a scholar, and he should be the one who left the idea of controlling the gods.
Thinking of this, Ding Qi quietly said with a divine thought: "Master Cui Feng, carving the image of the previous peak master with visualization. It is simple, but it is actually very difficult. The biggest function of Zhujie Wine is probably to help practice the visualization method? But for ordinary people, it only has an almost psychedelic effect, which can make people dream what they want to have."
Cui Shanhai was suddenly shocked, perhaps because of the first contact with the divine consciousness, and because the real function of bamboo wine lies in this, it is impossible for non-Xiangshui Peak inheritors to know. He turned around quietly and said, "Master Ding, in fact, I want to visit you today. I still have many things to ask for in private. After using supper, can I talk alone?"
Ding Qi: "Okay, no problem! Actually, it's still early now, so you don't have to wait for dinner. As long as Master Cui Feng has time, I can do it anytime."
Shui Ruo said in confusion: "You two, what are you whispers to say?"
In front of everyone, Cui Shanhai was not inconvenient to say anything, and he blew up and said, "It's just that there are some questions that need to be asked for, which may involve some secrets."
Shui Ruo joked: "Is your men's secret?"
Cui Shanhai shrugged: "You said yes."
