Zhu Shanxian also said: "Teacher Ding is right, most of people's love for pets comes from emotional projection. ”

Shi Buquan: "Projected as your own child?"

Ding Qi shook his head and said: "It's not just that simple, in fact, most people project a virtual self through their pets, satisfying their desired status and feelings." Pets are not like people, your responsibilities to them are limited, but the rights you have are almost unlimited, and they must rely on you.

They are sometimes like completely subordinate to your subordinates, or even slaves, and you are in control of food, clothing, shelter, life and death, which can satisfy the feeling that some people simply do not get from others. On the other hand, it also satisfies everyone's self-evaluation and self-actualization. So some people love pets but don't care too much about other people......"

Shi Buquan interjected: "Pets are not the same as pets, for example, cats and dogs are different, and birds are even different. ”

Zhu Shan said with a smile: "So what kind of people have what kind of pets, and their attitudes towards pets are different." ”

Fan Yang couldn't help but knock on the table and said, "Let's go astray, what kind of pet, isn't it the fairy bait meat Ganoderma lucidum that is being discussed?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's just chatting." ”

Tan Hanchuan said with a serious face: "Speaking of fairy bait meat Ganoderma lucidum, Ah Quan has researched it, in fact, I have also researched it." My master also left some ancient texts there, and there are many things in them that are very chattering. Some of them are inventions at first glance, but some are difficult to determine.

Some people say that the meat reishi is Tai Sui, but there are also records that the meat reishi is a different thing. The way to take this substance, you don't have to eat it, you can take its juice, you can use it externally or internally, it is said to have the effect of washing the marrow of the I Ching. It is recorded in an ancient book that the method of extracting the juice is to wait for it to grow up, and then rub the top of it with gold, and it will naturally secrete a white emulsion. ”

Shanny finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see, then I must try!"

Fan Yang: "Then wait until you go in!" and said to Tan Hanchuan again, "Old Tan, why didn't you say this earlier?"

Tan Hanchuan: "In the ancient book I found, the name of the fairy bait mentioned is not called meat lingzhi, but moon lingzhi, also known as moon clotted fat or moon spirit juice, in short, there are different statements. Even the people who wrote this book in ancient times did not see the real thing, but recorded various legends.

Today, I heard Ah Quan mention the meat Ganoderma lucidum, and I just remembered it. The Moon Lingzhi I found in the ancient books, whether it is this kind of thing in Xiaojing Lake, whether it is true or not, whether the statement in the ancient books is true, I will know after I go in. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou waved his hand and said, "Then let's talk about the current matter first." Teacher Ding, according to your analysis, why did Shang Ni hear the voice first, and she told all of us, and then we all heard it? From your professional point of view, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. ”

Ding Qi thought for a while and said, "Then let me say a few words." Mr. Zhuang just said that she has no distracting thoughts, and I think the most important thing is that she has no prejudices. You came here to explore the secret realm outside the square, Shang Ni came here to explore the rivers and lakes, and Mr. Xianhua gave her a chance to come, and she didn't even ask about the things here.

Each of you has spoken to me individually, and everyone else is concerned about what I have encountered and what I have experienced. But Senior Sister Shang Ni is different, the question she cares about is what she encountered, why didn't she see Xiaojing Lake? As for my experience of discovering the clues of the secret realm outside the Fang, she actually didn't ask a word.

Therefore, Senior Sister Shang Ni's idea is very simple, she just knows that there is an outside world outside the door that ordinary people can't detect, and she may be able to discover it with the help of the Wind Gate Inheritance Secret Technique. I have an assumption that you can all hear the sound in the small lake, but you all ignore it or even block it out in your consciousness, in order to find your own state. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Buquan frowned and said: "It makes sense, my state is to listen to the movements around me, even if I hear the sound, I still think that the children around me are crying, I don't care at all, I just wait and see Xiaojing Lake wholeheartedly." ”

Ding Qi continued: "There is another possibility, that is, you didn't hear the sound of the meat lingzhi at all. In the ancient books, it is said that 'the moon shines with sound', and in the position where Sister Shanni saw it, could there be moonlight this week?"

Xian Hao nodded and said, "Teacher Ding is right, at least during the week I was here, although there was moonlight in Xiaojing Lake several times, the clouds seemed to be pressing on the door beam, and the moonlight shone in the grass less than ten steps away, only today was the exception." ”

Tintzy: "So you may have heard the voice, but you didn't realize it. Because everyone is in the backyard, their hearing is normal, and they can hear all kinds of sounds in the environment, including the sound of grass and trees in Nanlan Mountain, and the faint sound of flowing water, which makes no difference, so they don't hear it, and don't think it as the sound in Xiaojing Lake. It wasn't until today that Senior Sister Shannie made a new discovery, and everyone reacted......"

Tan Hanchuan nodded again and again: "Teacher Ding is very reasonable, otherwise we can't explain why Senior Sister Shang Ni reminded us all of us." ”

Zhu Shanxian also nodded and said, "Fortunately, Teacher Ding Qi is here, it has helped us too much!"

Ye Xing: "Even if you can see it, you can hear it, then you have to be able to get in, we don't have any new progress." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Don't worry, if you make new discoveries, you will make progress." There are two things that need to be solved, the first is the question raised by Mr. Ding, can you see Xiaojing Lake in an instant? Second, according to Ah Quan's idea, if you collect all the masters of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, you can summon the Divine Dragon, but we are not playing Dragon Ball after all.

Now we still haven't found anyone who is proficient in the Tired Gate Secret Transmission Body Meditation Technique, if we haven't found it, what should we do? I have an idea that needs to be confirmed, that is, to see if any of the two of them can also see Xiaojing Lake? With their own methods, it may not be the secret transmission of our seven sects. ”

Fan Yang echoed: "This idea is very good, Mr. Ding and Mr. Ye are both working in the medical system now, and they can be regarded as tired people!"

Tan Hanchuan: "How do you do it?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "The eight secret techniques are different, but they can all discover the small realm lake, and there must be similarities, and there is no need to use a certain secret technique." Let's choose one person from Mr. Ding and Mr. Ye, and describe the experience of using secret techniques to discover Xiaojing Lake as much as possible, and then let him experience it too. ”

As soon as they heard this, except for Fan Yang, who looked down at the plate, everyone else looked at Ding Qi, and it was obvious that if he really did what Zhuang Mengzhou said, the choice would be obvious. Tan Hanchuan still asked very seriously: "Mr. Zhuang, your statement is not very clear, you must know that some experiences are difficult to describe, and if you can't enter the realm, you can't experience them, so it's useless to say anything." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "The so-called description is not necessarily dictated. I already have a preliminary idea, and we will talk separately to improve the plan, and then try after we have discussed it. ”

This shocking senior spoke like this, he had always been mysterious, and he actually stopped here, and it was not easy for everyone to continue to ask, which made Ding Qi feel a little apprehensive, did he want to test him?

The atmosphere at the wine table was a little cold for a while, but after a while, Ye Xing couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhuang, what method do you plan to use?"

Zhuang Mengzhou asked with a smile: "Mr. Ye also has a psychological counselor certificate, right? He also ran a training school before, and later opened a psychological clinic. What do you and Teacher Ding do? What do you and Teacher Ding do? What do psychiatrists do?

The way I think is, in principle, to assume that the world itself is also conscious, and then let Mr. Ding or you communicate with the consciousness of this world. The consciousness is hooked up, can't the eyes still see? Maybe after a good exchange, the relationship is done, and it will let us in. ”

Zhu Shanxian couldn't help but laugh and said: "This doesn't sound like the Eight Secret Arts, it's a routine of the rivers and lakes, Mr. Zhuang plans to engage in a routine with Xiaojinghu?"

Zhuang Meng pointed to the open backyard door and said: "Jianghu routines are also called threshold techniques, Senior Brother Zhu take a good look, isn't there also a threshold there?"

Fan Yang: "This threshold is not the other threshold, Mr. Zhuang, your topic has gone off the rails again! It's useless to play the Juemen routine with the Fangwai Secret Realm, if it's useful, you can just let Teacher Ding call Xiaojinghu directly, like District Chief Zhu?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "I really have this idea, but I don't know the number...... Let's talk casually at the wine table, brainstorming, young people should understand, right?"

Zhu Shanxian: "Mr. Zhuang is too mysterious, I grew up with the party's education and believe in materialism. ”

Ye Xing: "It's not interesting to argue about philosophical issues. ”

Tan Hanchuan waved his hand and said, "It's not boring, but it's very interesting." Idealism and materialism do not argue first, we can think about logical relationships under the premise of various assumptions, which is what Mr. Zhuang said brainstorming. Let's not talk about it on the premise of idealism, there is nothing to discuss, and the outer world of Xiaojing Lake may be conscious. What is the materialist point of view?"

With Tan Hanchuan, a scientific research worker, joining, the topic immediately changed direction. Shanny muttered: "I learned it in a middle school textbook, and it is simply concluded that the world is material, matter determines consciousness, and consciousness has a reaction to matter......"

Tan Hanchuan knocked on the table and said, "The main point has come out! Even under the premise of materialism, consciousness exists, right?"

Xian Hao continued: "Of course consciousness exists, otherwise what are we doing? But the main point of materialism is that consciousness is born from matter. ”

Tan Hanchuan: "Okay, consciousness is born from matter, and this idea itself recognizes that matter can give birth to consciousness, right?"

Zhu Shan nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Tan Hanchuan: "On the premise that the world is material, matter can give birth to consciousness, then the world may also have consciousness. The conclusion has come out, and in terms of logical relationship, there is no problem at all!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, but Ye Xing was the first to speak: "Then matter does not necessarily give birth to consciousness, for example, a stone has no consciousness." ”

Shi Buquan retorted: "Who said that the stone is unconscious? Maybe there are, but you can't find it!"

Tan Hanchuan summed up with a very rigorous attitude: "Let's assume that the world is material, since matter can give birth to consciousness, we can't conclude that the world is unconscious, this conclusion is always correct, right?"

Of course, no one can oppose it. Ancient Chinese thinkers, with their wisdom, gave an attitude towards this, that is, "outside the Liuhe, exist and do not care!" The so-called Liuhe refers to the four directions of heaven and earth, which is precisely the original meaning of "outside the square" in Chinese.

Zhuang Mengzhou knocked on the table and said, "You guys are so bored, let's drink bars!"

Everyone drank a glass of wine together, everyone drank a lot today, and the two boxes of beer that Liu Guonan sent last time were all drunk at this meal. When he was full of food and drink and began to prepare to clean up the table, Ding Qi said, "Actually, we can set a small goal first. ”

Zhu Shanxian: "Oh, what a small goal?"

Shang Ni also said: "Didn't Mr. Zhuang already say just now, let's solve two things first." ”

Ding Qi: "The small building next door has arrived today, and there is another matter that can be solved immediately and should be solved." It's about giving your backyard a makeover and preparing it for the future. ”

The backyard should indeed be renovated as soon as possible, although there are no one else in the two small buildings next to it, but there are other neighbors around. In the Nanlan Mountain Forest Park outside the backyard gate, there are also travelers or walking tourists passing by from time to time. There are so many people coming in and out of Zhu Shanxian's backyard every day, which may indeed attract attention, and some things are not suitable for others to see.

To take the simplest example, if you really open the Xiaojing Lake in the future, and see a group of people walking out of the backyard, and then disappear and do not appear outside the door, isn't it hell!

Zhu Shan said with a smile: "I have already said hello to the seedling company through the garden office, and they can come to do the courtyard landscape at any time." But when it comes to landscape design, you don't need anyone else, right?"

Shang Ni said excitedly: "Yes, we design it ourselves! I heard that the front yard of your house was designed by Mr. Xian Hua, and we also designed the backyard. ”

Ding Qi only "finished" the small building this afternoon, Zhu Shanxian is like an unpredictable prophet, he had long expected that Ding Qi would get the small building, and he did things one by one.

After removing all the food on the table, they replaced it with a brighter light bulb and hung it in the pergola in the four corners, and everyone discussed how to renovate the backyard, just like a group of spies preparing to build a secret base.

Everyone came up with their own ideas, and Shannie presided over the summary, and soon had a general plan. The first is to plant bamboo in the backyard, a kind of bamboo, the thickness of an egg, which can grow up to three stories high, and the branches and foliage are so dense that they can completely block the view of the surroundings.

Inspired by today's Ah Quan dismantling the canopy and installing it at the backyard door, it was at that location that another four-corner pavilion was built. The pavilion is three meters square, the eaves are warped, the beauties on both sides are leaning, the moon gate is in the middle, three sides are surrounded by bamboo forests, and the other side is the backyard wall. If you don't walk in, no one will find the backyard door that Zhu Shanxian opened without permission.

The backyard is rectangular, about eight meters from the small building to the courtyard wall, and the width is about 12 meters, which is not a small area. Because this is the last row of houses in the community, the courtyard wall is the wall of the community, and there is a place anyway, so the backyard of the last row of small buildings is the largest. Except for a small pavilion covering an area of nine square meters, there is enough place to plant a bamboo forest.

Shang Ni asked Zhuang Mengzhou again: "What other opinions does Mr. Zhuang have, such as what do you want to plant?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Actually, you can plant a loquat tree, I like to eat loquat." And when the loquat bears fruit, the tree is full of gold, and it is also very beautiful. ”

Ye Xing: "When the planting goes to fruition, I'm afraid it will take several years." ”

Zhu Shan smiled idly: "That's not necessary, I asked someone to move one over directly, it must bear fruit every year." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "That can't kill the tree." ”

Zhu Shanxian: "Don't worry, professional things can be done by professional people." ”

Shi Buquan: "If you say that the tree is full of gold, you can actually plant an orange tree, and there is also an auspicious symbol." ”

Zhu Shanxian: "Then move one over too." ”

Shanny: "In addition to auspiciousness and peace, do you want to move an apple tree as well?"

Zhu Shanxian: "Move!"

Xian Hao said lightly: "Apples only bloom in spring, in fact, you can plant a laurel tree, preferably four seasons cinnamon, so that there will be osmanthus in the courtyard." ”

Ding Qi nodded and praised, "Good idea." ”

Fan Yang: "If you transplant big trees that have already bloomed and bear fruit, you may not be able to plant them in the backyard." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou's hand pointed to the east: "It can all be planted in the backyard of Ding Qi's house!"

Shannie slapped the table and said, "Yes, there's a yard next door!"

Struck while the iron was hot, Shanny began to ponder the backyard of Ding Qi's small building again, and it turned out to be still a bamboo forest, but not as dense and as much as in this courtyard, with loquats, citrus, apples, and laurel trees in between. Zhu Shanxian did not plant other flowers and fruits in the backyard, but designed two plantains at the corner of the pavilion.

The location and shape of the pavilion, the variety and distribution of bamboo, and the staggered height of each tree are all exquisite, and these are all left to Shanni to complete. When it was almost done, and it wasn't too late, Shannie still said, "There's still a courtyard to the west." Didn't that family immigrate to Australia, let Senior Brother Zhu rent the small building, so let's just renovate it. ”

Zhu Shanxian: "After all, it's still someone's place for the time being, so it's not easy to change it without permission." ”

Shi Buquan smiled and said: "District Chief Zhu, you don't need to spend money, right? We don't move the building, we just plant some bamboo and wood in the open space, and I don't think people will object." ”

Zhu Shanxian hurriedly said: "It's not about money, of course I'll pay for the cost." If you don't move the courtyard walls and houses, just plant some flowers and trees, it doesn't matter. ”

The final result of the discussion was that no flowers and fruits were transplanted in the backyard in the west, and a bamboo forest was also planted. Fan Yang finally suggested: "Since the bamboo forest is used as a cover, then a piece is also planted outside the wall, so that the backyard door cannot be seen from the side of Nanlan Mountain." ”
