The sculpture styles here are very different from the usual sculptures, just like 3D printed using real-life holographic scanning data. To put it more vividly, it is like a person standing there and turning into a stone statue, as if he is still alive, but condenses time and space into a moment. Especially the Taoist priest in the middle, Ding Qi felt that the craftsman's cultivation level was even above him.

Ding Qi finally worshiped this statue of the ancestor. After performing the salute, he sat upright in front of the statue and entered the country with divine consciousness. The stone statue actually smiled and nodded at him to express his respect. Ding Qi also quickly stood up and returned the salute. At this time, a scholar on the left walked over and smiled and said, "Young friend, please don't give me a gift! In the wind of Song Shanfeng, this is my master Ling Nan Shang Zhenren."

Two statues came alive and turned into real people, standing together with Ding Qi to talk. In fact, what Ding Qi saw and heard came from the thought of controlling the gods left by Song Shanfeng, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty. According to the tradition of Xiangshui Peak, the statue of the Taoist Ling Nanshang was carved and built by his disciple Song Shanfeng. Ding Qi worshiped Ling Nanshang with the divine intention left by Song Shanfeng.

Then why did the statue on Ling Nan Shang "live"? The idea of ​​controlling the gods is equivalent to the gathering of Song Shanfeng's knowledge. Of course, there is also the image of his master Ling Nan Shang in his knowledge, just like a person. In fact, he is also the master in Song Shanfeng's mind. At this moment, both masters and apprentices appeared to meet Ding Qi, like a meeting that traveled through time and space.

What the three of them talked about is impossible for outsiders to know. If someone walked here, they would only find Ding Qi sitting quietly in front of the stone statue of the Taoist, without saying anything or moving. But for Ding Qi himself, all this happened as it happened, and it happened in his heart realm. Yes, it is the heart realm!

The first level of cultivation level that begins with the secret method of the Fangwai is called the realm of observation of the body. The skill of practicing the realm of observation of the body is the art of mind. The art of mind is a practical technique that Ding Qi mastered in his psychological counseling work. It is not a secret method of magical powers, but was summarized by his mentor Liu Feng. However, if you want to cultivate the realm of observation of the body, you must go further on the basis of the art of mind and transform it from the art of mind into the realm of mind.

The description is more detailed. The so-called heart book is like a detailed archive record, recording and describing various information; while the heart world transforms these information into concrete, intelligent space-time images and event processes, like a world that can be continuously evolved. From this we can see that the heart world is the introductory foundation of the secret method of the square and outside, and it is also created by Ding Qi.

If there is no such foundation, there is no way to talk about the secret technique of the mind and the refining Jingwen stone to break through to the micro realm and subsequent realms. The secret technique of the Fangwai draws on the similarities between the eight major secret techniques of the Jianghu Lake, but it is not the simple addition of the eight secret techniques after all. Only with its unique internal thinking system can it be called an original secret technique.

The unique cultivation system of the secret method of the Fangwai is based on the "self-formed mind realm". From its purpose, it is to discover and explore the world of the Fangwai, so it is called the secret method of the Fangwai, but from the point of view of the means, it may also be called the secret method of the Heart Realm.

Observing the body realm is just a preliminary condensation of the mind realm into its prototype. In each subsequent realm, the secret techniques outside the world are actually practicing the mind realm. If compared with the immortal and immortal cultivation novels Ding Qi has read, Teacher Ding seems to have no magical powers and is dull, but his true excellence is that his mind realm is becoming more and more grand and mysterious.

At this moment, Ding Qi felt the idea of ​​controlling the gods left by Song Shanfeng, the ancestor of Xiangshui Peak, and the heart world evolved into such a communication scene. It seemed that he was sitting here facing the statue, but in just a moment, the heart world evolved in the exchange of divine will. The three masters had long left the area of ​​the mountaintop cave and were traveling around the world of Xiangshui Peak.

The Xiangshui Peak in reality, the Xiangshui Peak in the communication of God, and the Xiangshui Peak in the knowledge of Song Shanfeng back then blended into the heart. This elder, Lingnan Shang, was like a tour guide, introducing the scenery of Ding Qi to the guest, and leading him to travel and enjoying it, while Song Shanfeng was with him.

Ling Nanshang and Song Shanfeng in front of him already knew the purpose of Ding Qi's arrival. He was here to ask the secret inheritance of the secret realm of the world and the treasure of the control world.

In the heart world, the senior ancestors did not teach the Dharma with hang out, but exchanged ideas during the journey. In this process, they taught the secret method of Xiangshui Peak to Ding Qi, and asked Ding Qi to walk through this world to sacrifice and refine the water in his hand step by step. If you have any questions, you can ask any questions. If Ding Qi has his own opinions, he can also discuss with the two masters.

Ding Qi confirmed many of his previous speculations, and at the same time made many new discoveries. In fact, Zhuang Mengzhou, Zhu Shanxian and others have long speculated that since practicing the secret method of the outside world can discover different external worlds, then the original core of the entire external world and the secret method of the outside world should be tolerant, and the fact is true.

What is the core of the Xiangshui Peak secret technique? It is difficult to explain in a few words, but we can talk about its cultivation process. For example, Song Shanfeng himself was found by Ling Nan, and then the master taught him the Fire Gate Furnace and Cauldron Art. After he practiced the Furnace and Cauldron Art to achieve the second level, Ling Zhenren took him to the gate of Xiangshui Peak and let him enter the country to sense it.

Before Ding Qi had already created the secret technique of Fangwai, Shi Buquan and others "saw" Xiaojing Lake with the eight secret techniques they practiced, and Song Shanfeng, who had achieved success in the cultivation of furnace and cauldron technique, could also "save". But the advantage of inheritance was that Zhenren Ling then brought Song Shanfeng directly into Xiangshui Peak and handed him over Shui Ruyi to sacrifice.

This step is similar to Ding Qi sacrificing the Jingwen Stone with his mind, but it is also different. Song Shanfeng did not practice the heart world in the secret method of the outside world, but there is a world in Shui Ruyi, which is Xiangshui Peak. The most basic and wonderful use of this artifact, the treasure of the world control, is that it can communicate the entire secret realm of heaven and earth through it. The so-called sacrifice and refining process is equivalent to opening up the whole world little by little.

When Song Shanfeng entered the country, he could sense that Shui Ruyi contained a world, and it was the Xiangshui Peak where he was. From this, he condensed a clear soul, which was equivalent to the cultivation level of the three realms, and then he could enter and exit the Xiangshui Peak by relying on Shui Ruyi.

Li Zhiyao is also a member of Xiangshui Peak. Now he is almost at this point in his cultivation, but he is still a little short of time. It must be emphasized that the secret technique of Xiangshui Peak must be obtained from Shui Ruyi before he can practice it, and it must be practiced in this outside world.

There is a prerequisite for this, that is, to be inherited. If it is not the aboriginal people in the secret realm of heaven and earth, they must be led by their master. In the outer world like Wuxin Valley and Jiufanglikan Island, the aboriginal people may be more convenient and simpler to practice because they are already living in the secret realm of heaven and earth.

However, the situation at Xiangshui Peak is different. If someone outside just got Shui Ruyi, he would not be able to open the door to enter Xiangshui Peak before he practiced the secret technique of Xiangshui Peak to the third realm. However, practicing the secret technique of Xiangshui Peak must be in Xiangshui Peak, and he would not be able to practice without coming in. If there is no master leading him in, this would become an unsolvable problem.

Song Shanfeng was brought in by Taoist Ling Nan Shang, and then taught him both Shui Ruyi and the secret method. He couldn't practice it himself, but he couldn't get out. It took nearly two years for Song Shanfeng to finally master the wonderful uses of the treasure of the world control, and he could hold Shui Ruyi and go to Xiangshui Peak by himself.

According to Song Shanfeng, Master Ling Nanshang actually accepted many apprentices and brought them to Xiangshui Peak to teach. However, after he really couldn't practice, he sent some of them out one after another. Anyway, they couldn't keep their memories.

These disciples were not forcibly captured by Zhenren Ling. At that time, they regarded Ling Nanshang as a god in the world and were willing to follow the gods to practice in the fairyland. However, they could not remember this experience without practicing the magic method. After returning home, they felt like a big dream. At that time, many people still stayed in the secret realm of heaven and earth, although they had not practiced the secret method, they lived in the secret realm of heaven and earth.

Then, after breaking through the third realm, continuing to practice, connecting the emotions of heaven and earth through the water in your hand, and being able to resonate with it with your own consciousness, is to break through to the fourth realm. At this stage, practicing the furnace and cauldron technique is no longer necessary, but it is also a very important auxiliary, which can consolidate its cultivation level. Otherwise, it will be difficult to improve by practicing the secret method of Xiangshui Peak alone.

Of course, the statements of this realm, the second realm, the third realm, and the fourth realm were summarized by Ding Qi in the exchange and are easy to understand, and there are other considerations in the secret method of Xiangshui Peak.

If you continue to practice after the fourth realm, you can no longer simply sense the world through Water Ruyi, because Water Ruyi is left by your predecessors. If you want to go further, you must personally condense this world in your soul and become a world in your own cognition.

This requires the disciple to walk around every corner of the world with water Ruyi in hand, and sacrifice the world presented in the soul into water Ruyi. This is not only his own cultivation, but also the inheritance and insight left to future generations. When there is this clear world in the soul, rather than the world sensed through the treasure of the world control, it is equivalent to reaching the five realms.

The fifth realm of the secret method outside the square is called the Heart Pan Realm, which is actually similar to the practice of the Xiangshui Peak Secret Method in this level. I think Ding Qi broke through the Heart Pan Realm and walked all over the Qin Gaotai World with Jing Wenshi in his hand, condensed the entire Qin Gaotai World into a Heart Pan, and transformed it into his own Heart Pan Realm.

Ding Qi was forced to no avail at that time. If he did not cultivate the state of mind, everyone would be unable to live without the world of Qin Gaotai. Therefore, he would have condensed Qin Gaotai into the world of mind through all the hardships, thus making new discoveries and breakthroughs.

If a person obtains the secret technique of Shui Ruyi and Xiangshui Peak, can he run to the Qin Gaotai world to practice? The answer is no, because from the beginning, the world information contained in Shui Ruyi belongs to Xiangshui Peak and is useless to Qin Gaotai.

Therefore, the Fangwai Secret Method is more like a methodology, a formula for solving all unknown problems. The Xiangshui Peak Secret Method is an application method, and the problem of Xiangshui Peak is specially solved with the help of the treasure of the control world.

After the five realms are perfected, it is very difficult to go further. Most people will find it difficult to make progress throughout their lives. Xiangshui Peak not only has the inheritance of Fire Gate Furnace and Cauldron Technique, but also the inheritance of visualization. The practice of visualization is also helpful with bamboo and wine. This is also a means to assist in the realm of falsehood. Whether it can be broken depends on the personal opportunity.

Ling Nanshang and Song Shanfeng were both able to break through the false realm back then. Song Shanfeng's cultivation was better than his master, and later reached the seventh realm. Therefore, he left the idea of ​​controlling the gods when carving the master's stone statue.

After breaking through the six realms and having great cultivation, the body and mind are truly the same. You can bring out the original things in the outside world, but it is also equivalent to splitting the body and spirit. This kind of thing must not be done frequently, but this process is also a kind of perception, the perception of integrating one's body and spirit into the world.

So how to practice to a higher level? After the great success, there is actually no secret method of the classics, only guidance on the realm. Practice varies according to the person and opportunity. From the realm, the secret method of Xiangshui Peak is to practice your own furnace and cauldron, and pursue the body and mind to form a realm, which is the world of Xiangshui Peak, as if the body and spirit melt away and then there is nothing else.

After reaching this level, you actually have the wonderful use of the treasure of the world control. You don’t need to rely on the water to enter and exit Xiangshui Peak...

As for the level of further upwards, Song Shanfeng has not successfully practiced, so he can only describe it from the perspective of perception. Ding Qi's current cultivation is not as good as Song Shanfeng back then, so he can only communicate from the perspective of discussion.

The three of them traveled on the Xiangshui Peak in the Heart Realm for more than half a month, watching the mountains and wading in the water, enjoying dreams and flowers, drinking bamboo wine, and using local materials to taste delicious food. Under the personal guidance of the ancestor, Ding Qi had already sacrificed and refined water for success. This experience happened in the Heart Realm, which seemed to be true and false, and was also true. However, even if you could successfully practice in the Heart Realm, it was also a natural thing to return to reality.

At least under Ding Qi's current level of cultivation, the ancestors have already taught everything they can teach, and they have learned it. Ding Qi needs to practice and verify it outside the heart world. On this day, the three of them were drinking by the clear stream and water. There was no bamboo wine with dreams, and Ding Qi stewed fish and wine for two seniors.

Ling Nan Shang: "Fellow Daoist Ding, the inheritance has been taught to you, and this trip will be enjoyed."

Ding Qi raised his glass and said, "Thank you, the two seniors and ancestors. I have another question to ask you for advice at the end. Where did this external world come from?"

Ling Nan Shang looked at Song Shanfeng, and both shook their heads and said, "We can't answer either. We have all obtained the inheritance of our ancestors, and we have passed on all our knowledge to you."

Ding Qi actually knew that Ling Nanshang and Song Shanfeng who appeared in the heart world were not themselves, but only included the idea of ​​controlling the gods that Song Shanfeng had seen before. To put it more easily understandable to modern people, it is equivalent to a program that includes super artificial intelligence. Ding Qi can communicate with him, but they cannot answer questions that are more than they see.

But Ding Qi still wanted to try it, and asked again: "I don't ask what the ancestors know. Did you have any guesses back then?"

Song Shanfeng sighed and said, "I inferred from the secret method of Xiangshui Peak, and I have indeed guessed that Xiaoyou Ding has heard of Pangu's saying that the world was created?"

There are not many records in the legend of Pangu from ancient times to pre-Qin mythological materials. The earliest detailed description was found in the Three Kingdoms period, and the main content was that Pangu's form was transformed into the world. So far, Ding Qi had already understood this. Song Shanfeng guessed that the outside world was transformed by the form and spirit, so according to Ding Qi's understanding, it might be transformed by the mind realm.

Who has cultivated to what level of cultivation to transform his body into an external world that does not exist, or to expand the mind world into a real world? So where is this person gone? Is his consciousness equivalent to the will or operating rules of the world? Is the so-called treasure of controlling the world a manifestation of form and spirit?

Whether this is the case, there is no answer. These are just Song Shanfeng’s guess back then. Ding Qi asked again: “Senior Song, according to your deduction back then, what would happen if the Xiangshui Peak secret technique was practiced to the extreme, what would happen to the final realm?”

Song Shanfeng sighed again and said, "I am still far from being able to practice to the extreme. I can only say that speculation cannot be called speculation. According to my speculation, it is likely that it is assimilated with this world, and form and spirit will also return to heaven and earth."

Ding Qi was slightly surprised and stood up and saluted, "After the guidance of the two ancestors, I have enjoyed the trip this time and am about to return. I wonder what instructions the two ancestors have?"

Ling Nan Shangzhang said, "I dare not say the order. Ding Xiaoyou created the secret method of the foreign countries, and his achievements are beyond us. It may save the worlds of the outside world from the inheritance. It is also of great significance to our Xiangshui Peak. I thank you here!"

What does this mean? The secret realm of heaven and earth like Xiangshui Peak is now inherited from the outside world. If there is a situation like the beast country, the treasure of the control world is lost or no descendants practices the secret method, it means that no one can enter again, and the inheritance will be completely cut off, and the outside world will be equivalent to no longer exist.

In fact, even if the inheritance continues within the secret realm of heaven and earth, there is a possibility of being cut off. For example, in the world of Qin Gaotai, it means that no one can get out. However, the emergence of Ding Qi and Fangwai's secret techniques has brought about a turning point in this situation.
