Ding Qi appeared in the country of beasts, inexplicably incarnated as a white horse with silver horns, and was also a bit like a unicorn in Western legends. He saw the egret standing in the river, sensed an inexplicable spiritual connection between himself and the egret, and then heard the egret's chirp, and then suddenly came back to his senses and realized who he was and why he came here.

What Ding Qi heard was obviously just a chirping of an egret, but when it came to his mind, it turned into a question, and the meaning should be - who are you?

He immediately realized that it was a spiritual exchange, which meant that in this world, he could understand the language of beasts. It's not that you directly understand the language of the beast, but that the way of communicating information is very bizarre, and it is able to convey emotions and emotions, so as to understand and judge the wishes of the other party.

It is not incomprehensible that Tintzi is a psychologist who has studied various non-verbal forms of communication. However, in the outside world, through non-verbal signals such as tone, tone, eyes, expressions, and body postures, the transmission of information is often not clear, and it is very vague and simple, but here, the communication between animals is the most direct spiritual idea.

In the same way, what he just made was a horse neigh, and what the egret heard should be a horse neighing containing spiritual thoughts, and Ding Qi could also feel this.

Despite having witnessed more than one world outside the world, and having been to such magical and incredible places as the Qin Gao Terrace, Ding Qi still felt that his imagination was a little insufficient, and he never dreamed that such a situation would occur in the Kingdom of Beasts. He thought about it again, this beast country really lived up to its name, and he understood the meaning of Zhu Jingyi's poem.

Ding Qi understood, but the egret seemed to be still confused, as if it was difficult to understand the complex meaning of the horse's neighing, or that her self-consciousness was not very clear. Ding Qi shouted again or said, "Follow me!"

This time, the egret understood, flapped its wings and flew in front of the white horse, looking at the animal with some curiosity that it had never seen before, especially the silver curved horns on the top of the white horse's forehead. Ding Qi looked into its eyes and let out another low whin, which sounded like a soft whine, this time it didn't even use words, it was directly through voice and eyes to convey ideas.

A hypnotic master can do this, not to mention that Ding Qi has cultivated the secret method of the outside world to the realm of Xingshen, and has his own means to influence and change the subconscious of another person, even including the subconscious of another being. Many small animals have simple consciousness and no clear self-awareness, and in the awake state is actually equivalent to the subconscious state of humans.

Ding Qi and this egret have a special mental induction, and there is a very important reason, that is, because Xian Hao was "brought" in by him, she was tantamount to being hypnotized by Ding Qi. As soon as he entered the beast country, Ding Qi himself was lost in the snowfield, incarnated as a white horse and forgot who he was, and of course it was impossible to remember and relieve this hypnotic state.

In other words, he can still affect Xian Hao or the subconscious of this egret, no wonder he felt as if he was looking for something as soon as he entered, and suddenly came back to his senses when he saw the egret. If it weren't for that, Ding Qi estimated that it would take him to regain consciousness, and the egret's cry would have woken him up.

The subconscious message conveyed by Ding Qi is complex and simple at the same time, he tells this egret, your name is Xian Hao, you came to this world with me, and now you want to go back with me. The egret should have half understood, and nodded a little confusedly. Tintze turned and ran towards the snowfield, and the egret spread its wings to fly with him.

After flying for a while, the egret probably felt tired, or wanted to calm down and think about something, so it landed on the white horse's back with its wings together. She looked down at the white horse, and then looked up at the snowfield in front of her, there seemed to be a hint of realization in her confused eyes, but she had not fully regained consciousness, and fell into a state of confusion that seemed to be confused but not confused.

The snow had stopped, and the white snow was covered with withered yellow soft grass, and the sound of horses' hooves was small, leaving a trail of footprints on the snow. Fortunately, the snow fell, and fortunately, the snow stopped at the right time, and the footprints left by the white horse when he ran last night were still there, so Ding Qi could still find his way to the incident and could run back along the trails.

They had a plan before entering the beast country, but they just took a look at it first, and immediately went out after figuring out the general situation, and then discussed in detail the detailed exploration plan for the next step after everyone gathered. So Ding Qi is going to rush back now, there is a slight deviation in the plan, he and Xian Hao came in and turned into beasts and "lost" in this world, and the sky is dawning at this moment.

The white horse ran faster and faster, its posture was extremely powerful, and it was very smooth when running at high speed, and it exhaled white steam from its nostrils. As he ran, the white horse suddenly felt a tightening of his mane, followed by a stinging pain in his back.

No matter how smooth the horse runs, the wind pressure will be felt in the high-speed running, and the egret is standing on the horse's back, not riding, subconsciously grabbing the end of the horse's mane with one paw, and tightening the horse's shoulder blade with the other paw. The claws of this waterfowl are very pointed, and they can usually sleep on the tree with a piece of paper, but at this moment they scratch the horse's skin with a lot of force.

The white horse was in pain, and Ding Qi told himself in his heart - forget it, I will endure it this time!

Finally ran to the place where the horse's hoof footprints disappeared on the snowfield, how to open the portal, where is the beast talisman? As soon as the white horse raised his head and snorted, the beast mark appeared in front of him out of thin air, as if it had been spewed out with a cloud of white gas, and it seemed to have been taken from the form of the god. A portal appeared on the empty snowfield, and outside the door was a rock crevice and a high cliff......

Xian Hao came back to his senses and suddenly let out an exclamation, hugged Ding Qi tightly with his backhand, and then reacted again, one of Ding Qi's hands was wrapping around her waist, and this arm was also very tight. His other hand grabbed the rope hanging from the rock crevice, and the two of them were dangling in midair.

When the egret came out of the portal, it felt very sudden, almost unprepared, and as a result, Xian Hao stepped out of the cliff in one step. Ding Qi had already been on the embankment, jumped out and reached out to hug her waist, and grabbed the rope with the other hand to prevent the two from falling together, which was considered to save Xian Hao's life.

The two hugged each other tightly, hanging on a rope and swaying left and right, and their bodies touched the rock wall from time to time. They have never had such close contact, not to mention the current "Xian Jiao", even the original Xian Hao and Ding Qi did not.

After Xian Hao came back, he always liked to be intimate with Ding Qi in front of others, but he didn't have any particularly intimate behavior in private, but this time...... Xian Hao's face turned red, and even his body softened, and he lowered his head and whispered, "You still don't let go?"

Ding Qi: "You are stupid, as soon as I let go, you will not fall? There are more than sixty meters high here!" Although he pretended to be indifferent, his body was actually responding, and his heart was beating significantly faster than usual.

Xian Hao realized that he was also hugging Ding Qi tightly, and quickly grabbed the rope and let go of his hand, tiptoe a little to the rock wall, and jumped very lightly onto the small platform at the door of the beast. Ding Qi still grabbed the rope and said, "It's dawn, let's go up quickly, Lao Tan and they must be in a hurry!"

The two climbed to the top of the cliff, Tan Hanchuan was sitting in a position that was invisible from the bottom of the cliff, and when he saw them, he quickly stood up and said, "Why did it take so long to come out?"

Ding Qi waved his hand and said: "If you encounter a little unexpected situation, you can't say a word, let's go to the next place to meet first, and let's discuss it together to see what the situation is." ”

On the river beach under the Iron Lock Cliff, the security guard in a military coat came again, and the time was half past eight in the morning, and he got up early enough, yawning as he paced. He was still wearing the old-fashioned thick-rimmed glasses, and his face was stained with stove ash, I don't know if it was because it wasn't cleaned yesterday or if it was again today.

When Ding Qi and Xian Hao came out of the beast country, he seemed to hear the movement, looked up, muttered something in his mouth, and seemed to be very dissatisfied. When Ding Qi and the others disappeared on the top of the cliff, Zhuang Mengzhou also took off the red hoop on his shoulder, and Shi Shiran left the river beach under the iron lock cliff.

After about another hour, the cleaner came again, carrying a garbage basket in his left hand and a long bamboo clip in his right hand, looking left and right on the river beach, looking very depressed, because he had lost people.

Without the help of high-tech aids, it is very difficult for ordinary people to keep an eye on another person without revealing themselves, and even more difficult if the other person is already aware of it.

Xiao Jiang stared at Zhu Shan yesterday and waited for the three of them until they went back to the hotel to rest, he couldn't run to someone's room and continue to stare at it, and he didn't even know that Tan Hanchuan went out quietly at night. And Xiao Jiang himself also wants to sleep, so he opened a room in the same hotel, and got up early in the morning to sit in the lobby and guard.

He saw Zhu Shanxin and Shang Ni come out to check out, but he didn't see Tan Hanchuan, and when he was looking, Zhu Shanxian and Shang Ni got in the car and left when they went out of the gate. There was a car that was agreed in advance, and he was waiting outside the door, and it was too late to wait for Xiao Jiang to chase him out and stop the car to follow. Zhu Shanxin and Shang Ni used a very ordinary method to get rid of Xiao Jiang, but it was very effective.

Xiao Jiang reluctantly reported to Zhang Wangxiong that he had lost the person, and Zhu Shanxian took a car in Zhangfang Town, and the direction of the car should be to downtown Beijing. If you really go to the downtown area of Beijing, where can you find such a big place, and it is not a place where Zhang Wangxiong can abuse his power.

Zhang Wangxiong was rushing to Beijing on the high-speed train, and after receiving the news, he asked Xiao Jiang to rush to Tiesuo Cliff again to take a look, but it was empty, and there was no ghost.

At noon, Zhu Shanxian and others had finished breakfast and gathered in an office on the 12th floor of the Atomic Energy Information Institute of the China National Nuclear Corporation near the West Third Ring Aerospace Bridge. The office is not big, only three desks and six chairs, all of which are very old solid wood tables and chairs, and six people will be able to sit down.

Ding Qi knocked on the table curiously and said, "What era is this desk? It has long been eliminated in other places, but it is still here!"

Zhu Shan said with a smile: "I think it's almost from the sixties and seventies, it's really making the best use of things, and the style is too diligent and thrifty!"

These old desks and chairs, which have been used for decades or even half a century, may not be visible in many parts of the country, but they are still in the offices of many units in Beijing, including some ministries and commissions, and they are still in use. Shanny also stood up when she heard this, picked up the chair under her buttocks, and carefully tapped the logs one by one.

Xian Hao wondered, "Xiao Nizi, what are you doing?"

Shanni explained: "I heard Ah Quan say that a lot of old furniture used in wood is very good, people at that time did not pay attention to these, now there are special collection of old furniture and dismantling wood, I want to see what kind of wood this is?"

Zhuang Mengzhou glared at her and said, "Even if there is a chair leg that is sandalwood, do you still want to remove the car beads?"

Ding Qi diverted the topic and said, "Mr. Zhuang, why do you have an office here?"

Zhuang Mengzhou explained: "It is not my office now, but I used to run a business here, and now I am also a consultant in this department, I have the access card of this building and the key to this office, and I will borrow it today."

In fact, there is no confidential information in this building, it is a place where people usually come and go, and the real research institutions are in other places, but after all, it is a confidential unit, and it is impossible for Zhang Wangxiong to find out here...... District Chief Zhu, don't knock on it, that table was used by an academician from the late sixties to the early eighties. ”

Tan Hanchuan sighed: "This is a cultural relic!"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about the beast country." ”

Ding Qi gave a detailed account of his experience in the beast kingdom, and everyone was amazed. Xian Hao added a few more words, her experience is actually nothing to describe, there are not many things that can be recalled, but it is also very valuable.

According to Xian Hao's recollection, after she entered the beast kingdom, she forgot who she was, her consciousness was in a state of chaos, and she couldn't even recognize herself clearly, so she acted on an instinct, and that instinct seemed to come from an egret. In fact, it wasn't until Xian Hao left the beast kingdom that he realized that he had turned into an egret and remembered what happened between her and the white horse.

Tan Hanchuan took out the paper and pen, and said with a solemn face: "Let's analyze the phenomenon first, list them one by one, and then analyze the causes......"

First of all, the speed of time in the beast country is the same as that of the outside world. Ding Qi and Xian Hao went in at night, and came out after dawn, and the season should be the same, both are winter. But there is a difference between the inside and outside environment, or the climate, it is sunny outside, and it is snowing inside.

The second, and very important, is the loss of self-awareness. In fact, a similar situation will occur in other worlds, such as if you don't go to the hidden realm, if you don't go to the hidden realm, you can't keep the memories in it after you go in. And the country of beasts is even more special, after entering, you can't remember the things outside, let alone remember, and even forget your identity.

Speaking of this, Zhuang Mengzhou smiled and said: "It is really a simple world, everyone who goes there seems to have to answer the two most simple philosophical questions - who am I? Where did I come from?"

Shannie was puzzled: "But why do people become beasts, and they are different beasts?"

Ding Qi pondered: "I once read a book, that is, the "Earth Master", there is a very special person in it, who can see everyone else as all kinds of animals, which is actually a kind of intention projection, or a kind of mental appearance. Everyone has a different temperament type and may feel like an animal. ”

Shanny: "Why is Mr. Ding a white horse, and he looks like a unicorn? Ah Quan said that he is a dragon!"

Zhuang Mengzhou said with a smile: "In myths and legends, in addition to fish, Jiao and the like, horses can also turn into dragons, and there is a kind of Rui beast called Dragon Horse in ancient times!

Xian Hao muttered: "I actually don't remember, but when I listened to Ding Qi's memories, I vaguely remembered something, it was indeed a snow-white horse, without any variegation, and the silver horn on its head was very beautiful." ”

Shanny exclaimed, "Prince Charming!"

Ding Qi: "It's just a white horse, how can there be a prince?"

Zhu Shan interjected: "Mr. Zhuang, you should know physiognomy, what's going on?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "I see that Mr. Ding is such a horse, with a bright future, running selflessly, and I have never seen such a simple person as him, so I don't see a trace of variegation." ”

Xian Hao asked rhetorically, "Is Teacher Ding simple?"

If it were a different person, he would never have come to the conclusion that Ding Qi was very simple, and think about the things he experienced, it couldn't be more complicated. Zhuang Mengzhou shook his head and said: "When I say simple, I mean a kind of thoroughness. It's rare for Mr. Ding to be so thorough and clean, think about what he has experienced and what skills he has, right?

Which of us old rivers and lakes can bring him to ruin? In fact, on the contrary, almost everyone has been seen through by him. He didn't have any messy thoughts at all, and he didn't need to have them, so he could see what others couldn't see and create a secret method outside the party. ”
