183, you beast

The egret looked at these two words on the ground and exclaimed, "That little sparrow is really not simple, it has actually learned!"

The white horse nodded and muttered, "This shows that it already has the ability to learn and imitate, as well as the ability to have complex spatial memory...... Where did it go? I'll call it over and do some more tests, and I can teach it well in the meantime. ”

The white horse walked around the clearing, neighing in all directions. The neighing of the horse was loud and could be heard far away, but the tone was soft, like coaxing a child, it was calling the little sparrow. Seeing that its attention was entirely on the little sparrow, the egret was a little dissatisfied: "Did you stay here just to play with the birds?"

The white horse stood still and turned his head and said, "Here, aren't you just a bird?" After finishing speaking, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly explained, "I, I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong!"

This damn beast country, the words that come out are direct spiritual thoughts, and they can't even hide it. Ding Qi may not really mean anything else, but who knows, it depends on how Xian Hao understands it. The egret seemed to be a little annoyed and angry, and flew up with its long beak to peck at the white horse, showing the benefits of its minions.

The white horse turned and ran, and fled with all his might. A small sparrow flew in from afar, and watched this scene in amazement, when did the horse become the food of the heron, such a big thing, can the egret eat it? And they don't seem to be hunting and fleeing like this...... Let's follow along.

Xu was because the white horse ran too fast, but the egret never hurt it, and as he ran, the white horse panted and turned back and said, "Don't make trouble, the little sparrow has already come and is following the two of us." ”

The egret glanced back and said, "It's flying quite fast, and it can keep up...... Ding Qi, I'll spare you this time, see if you dare to talk nonsense in the future? I still have an account to settle with you!"

Hakuba: "Is it because I suddenly decided to stay here without consulting you beforehand?"

Egret: "It's good that you know!"

Bai Ma sighed and said, "Actually, you and her are two people after all......"

The egret stomped his feet and said, "It's been so long, you're still so confused, I'm Xian Hao!" After speaking, it stopped paying attention to the white horse, and beckoned the little sparrow again: "Little sparrow, you come with me, ignore this bastard." ”

The egret actually said such a thing in the beast kingdom, that is the real thought in his heart, and the white horse sighed again. Xian Jiao has been acting as Xian Hao since she appeared, she has been too deep in the play, she really thinks of herself as Xian Hao, and Ding Qi doesn't know what to say.

Xiao Jiang, the "cleaner" who was guarding under the iron-locked cliff, finally made a major appearance at noon today, and Zhu Shanxian's gang came out again! Close to the top of the cliff, a monitor was installed in a hidden rock crevice, and there was a hard-to-see eavesdropping device on the other side. The person who came up first was Tan Hanchuan, his figure happened to block the camera of the monitor, and it was not clear from the video how many people came up.

But it didn't matter, the video of them going down from the top of the cliff at night was also filmed, although it was a little blurry, but it was also possible to distinguish a total of six people who went down, and this time their conversation was also recorded.

Zhu Shan said: "Great, we finally opened this world and found the legendary Jinshan Courtyard." ”

Tan Hanchuan: "It's a pity that the time is too rushed, Jinshan Courtyard has not yet opened, we will come back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year." ”

It's just two simple sentences, but it says a lot. Xiao Jiang was overjoyed after hearing this, and quickly transferred the detailed information and all the monitoring records to Zhang Wangxiong, which also meant that he did not have to stay in the wilderness during the Spring Festival.

Zhang Wangxiong was also pleasantly surprised when he received the news, and after considering all possibilities, he finally made a decision, summoned all his elite subordinates, and rushed to the Iron Lock Cliff on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, to block Zhu Shanxian and others at the most appropriate time, and in any case, he had to ask Zhu Shanxian about the way to open the Jinshan Courtyard from Zhu Shanxian...... As for what to do next, we'll see you then.

Zhang Wangxiong thought about it for a long time and decided not to notify Tian Zhongluo for the time being. He and Tian Zhongluo are only in a cooperative relationship, although they have great respect for this senior of the book on the surface, they are not the other party's disciples or subordinates. found Jinshan Academy, Tian Zhongluo didn't make any contributions, they were all clues from Zhang Wangxiong's own appearance, so there was no need to share the benefits with the other party.

Thinking about it, Zhang Wangxiong couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. Tian Zhongluo always gave him a feeling of being a master outside the world, and he was indeed a master outside the world, with the strange rock realm of the outside world, and that kind of mood and style were not all pretended, but also naturally revealed. If you can have a world, then you will naturally have the confidence to be unknown when facing the world.

What Tian Zhongluo can have, he Zhang Wangxiong will also have, it is an independent kingdom that only belongs to him! There is still time now, and he can make sufficient preparations......

In the line plate bead game in the threshold of the rivers and lakes, the clues you get are all deliberately let you appear by the other party, and if you go down these nows, you will fall into the trap that the other party has already designed. In the intra-disc roll-ball game, the other party knows what you want and what is most valuable to you, so they make it and sell it to you.

Both sides are old rivers and lakes, but even if Zhang Wangxiong knows that there may be something wrong with this matter, he will do it, and he can only try to prepare more fully and plan more securely. No matter what kind of Jianghu game, the key to success lies in whether the person who set up the game has the advantage of information asymmetry, and the situation in the country of birds and beasts is the biggest hole card of Zhu Shanxian and others.

Not to mention how Zhang Wangxiong planned the action, Ding Qi has been living in the beast country for the past few days. He first made sure of one thing, that the little sparrow had become self-conscious, and could not only distinguish what a sparrow was, but also know that he was a sparrow, and that he could understand both the concept of group and individual, and the difference between object and subject.

Ding Qi also came to the conclusion that this sparrow was a creature in the beast kingdom, not a beast that people from outside had turned into after they came in. The reason is very simple, if the person who comes in from outside, because of Ding Qi's induction to awaken his self-consciousness, he will gradually remember who he is, but this sparrow is still a sparrow.

The little sparrow was undoubtedly lucky because it ran into Tinzi. If a sparrow has opened its mind and has the intelligence and learning ability to cross the species, will it definitely be able to get out of the race? Not necessarily, and the probability is very small! Because the environment in which it grows up and lives is still in a flock of sparrows, and being too clever will even make it feel confused and distressed.

Not to mention sparrows, even if a normal human being, if he has grown up in a group of animals since he was a child, he will not grow up normally, and there are examples of wolf children and pig children all over the world. Because they have no way to get normal communication, let alone talk about the social civilization system and knowledge inheritance.

Fortunately, Ding Qi came, and for the little sparrow, it opened a door to a new world, with infinite unknowns and possibilities. If it is still alone in the beast country, still in a flock of sparrows, it gradually has a sense of self, like a little inspiration, it may gradually grow, but it is more likely that it will never be able to go further.

In just a few days, the little sparrow and Ding Qi learned a lot, if the first time the test was done, its IQ was to some extent equivalent to that of a five- or six-year-old child, then after a few days, it was equivalent to the level of seven or eight years old. Such divine progress is like the opening of the shackles of wisdom. But at the moment, Ding Qi can only do so much, and the growth of this little sparrow still depends on learning and accumulation.

Such a smart little sparrow, of course Xian Hao likes it very much, she discussed with Ding Qi: "What should I name it, can't it always be called a little sparrow?"

Tinzi: "Let's call it small." ”

Qiao, which is the sound of "finch" in the Beijing dialect, this little sparrow has its own name since then, and it also knows that this is its name, and can write it on the ground with its claws. It's a pity that Ding Qi wants to teach it to speak for the time being, but he can't, even if he can understand human language.

Direct communication of mental thoughts is indeed convenient, but there are also many restrictions here, because Ding Qi can't speak directly, and all he can do is neigh. If you want to teach this little sparrow to understand real human language, I'm afraid you have to wait for the unicorn that Mr. Zhuang incarnated to come in.

But Mr. Zhuang can't teach a sparrow to understand human language here, Ding Qi and Xian Hao discussed this problem, and he also thought of two other ways, the first is to bring Xiao Xiao out in the future, and the second is to completely break this world and open the Jinshan Academy, which will "re-cultivate" in the beast country.

But these two conditions are not available at the moment, Xian Hao pointed out another possibility, she reminded Ding Qi: "Don't you have such a special talent, you can hypnotize the sparrow and let it enter your spiritual world." In your spiritual world, of course, you are able to speak the human language and teach it to understand those words. ”

Ding Qi smiled bitterly: "Xiaoxiao can't meet the requirements now, it needs to have a stronger ability to understand, otherwise it can accept hints and guidance." Even if it qualifies, it's hard for me to do it, it's not ordinary mental work. ”

Not everyone is suitable for being hypnotized, for example, hypnotizing a mentally ill person like Tian Qi is very difficult and dangerous. Hypnosis is not to make Xiao Xiao fall asleep, if it is that simple, Ding Qi has a way.

Xian Hao's suggestion is not only to let Xiao Xiao enter the subconscious state, but also to stay awake in this state, and then be guided into Ding Qi's spiritual world. Even if it is small and can do it, Ding Qi will have a hard time doing it right now.

It's okay to do a few experiments, but don't forget that the purpose is to teach a sparrow to learn human language! This kind of hypnosis needs to maintain the most focused state, the hypnotist is quite tired, no less than the consumption of a professional Go player in a formal game, it will definitely not be completed in a short time, and the consumption for a long time will be unimaginable.

Xian Hao smiled: "Take your time, maybe when your cultivation is deeper in the future, these things will not be a problem." ”

Ding Qi: "When that time comes, I may be able to teach it to speak directly, and it doesn't need to be so complicated." ”

Life in the kingdom of beasts is both fulfilling and leisurely, and can only be experienced by being in it. As a beast, there is nothing else, and what you bring in cannot be summoned, and you don't seem to need it. There is no need to care about the world's disputes, or even the people's hearts, income, work, interpersonal problems, and housing problems, which don't seem to be considered.

For white horses and egrets, survival doesn't even have to be a matter of survival.

The white horse did not build a stable for himself, and the best place to rest was the white soft grass under the tree where the unicorn had slept. The egret also found a place in the canopy, like a natural and comfortable bird's nest.

They are practicing the Bigu exercises, and this time in the country of birds and beasts is the best ritual to purify the body and mind, teaching small every day, except for the Jinshan Courtyard shrouded by the great array of mountains and rivers, they have traveled all over this world, Ding Qi has also been practicing the beast talisman, and at the same time refining his own Jingwen stone.

The scale of this world is slightly smaller than that of Xiaojing Lake, slightly circular with a diameter of more than 30 kilometers. There is a river that originates in the mountains at the eastern end, dividing the whole beast country into two irregular parts, and forming a large lake wetland at the western end of the world, where many egrets and gray herons inhabit the wetlands.

Just looking at it, the egret incarnated by Xian Hao and the egret here don't think much, but the body size is much larger.

To the north of the river are grasslands, covered in snow in winter, covering an area of about one-third of the world. To the south of the river are rolling hills and valleys, and Kanayama-in Temple is located in the middle 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 is a scavenging bird of prey that looks a bit like a vulture, but is slightly smaller than a vulture. This bird of prey not only pecks at the carcasses of animals, but also captures small animals.

The largest beast in the beast country, Ding Qi has never seen it outside, the head is a bit like a big dog, but there are stripes like a tiger on the body, the body is smaller than the tiger, and the leopard is about the same, Ding Qi gave it a name called the spotted tiger. It is also home to rabbits, muntjacs, roe deer and the largest red deer.

Roe deer, muntjac, deer, rabbit, the four mountain delicacies praised by the people of Ding Qi's hometown are all together in the country of birds and beasts, but unfortunately Ding Qi is just a horse, and now he is still in the valley, of course he can't enjoy it.

There are birds of prey and beasts of prey in the country of birds and beasts, which will pose a threat to Xiaoxiao, so Ding Qi and Xian Hao usually remind this sparrow what to react to when encountering any situation, in short, to avoid danger as much as possible and ensure survival.

The sparrow is a social animal, often moving in large groups, which is also the survival protection of the group, and it is always the strongest and most flexible sparrow that can survive. Xiaoxiao is now out of the sparrow group, and there is certainly no danger in following Ding Qi and Xian Hao, but Ding Qi and Xian Hao can't stay in the beast country forever, and they can't take Xiaoxiao out for the time being, so they can only remind it to pay attention to safety.

Seeing that Ding Qi was very worried about Xiaoxiao, Xian Hao comforted: "Actually, we don't have to worry too much, Xiaoxiao is smart." Don't you realize that its senses are very keen, and its hearing, smell, and vision are far superior to those of ordinary sparrows. ”

Ding Qi didn't show up, but he didn't pay attention, because he didn't think of Xiao Xiao as an ordinary sparrow at all, and he realized it at the moment, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When I first cultivated to the contemplation of the body, I also experienced this process, and my senses became very sharp, and 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, Xiao Xiao had already passed that adaptation stage. Consciousness comes from the senses, and sensual sharpness is the prerequisite for clear consciousness, and no matter what secret method is cultivated, this is also the first step. ”

Ding Qi: "And what about the second step?"

Xian Hao: "Do you need to talk about the second step? Keen senses mean vigorous mental activity, and energy needs physical strength, and the second step is of course to be strong enough and healthy physique, which is the so-called second realm." At the beginning, you and Shang Ni fell ill as soon as they entered Xiaojing Lake, but the others did not, that's the reason. ”

Ding Qi asked with great interest: "In this way, if Xiao Xiao also has this kind of physique, we can take it out of the beast country safely, but how can we see it?"

Xian Hao thought for a while before saying: "Maybe you can observe the change in body shape, it breaks through the limitations of the species in its growth, and it may also react in physical characteristics, such as obviously growing larger than other sparrows, and ordinary sparrows obviously do not have appearance...... For example, you and I, although we are incarnated as beasts, are we the same as ordinary beasts?"

Ding Qi nodded and said, "That's right, you are still more experienced than me!"

Xian Hao suddenly said angrily: "What do you mean?"

Well, Ding Qi seems to have said the wrong thing again, but he really didn't mean anything else this time, so 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 Xiaoxiao flying from a distance, he suddenly remembered a question, and asked: "Xian Hao, we still don't know whether Xiaoxiao is male or female, how can we recognize it?"

Xian Hao: "Ding Qi, what are you thinking, you beast, even ...... sparrows?"

Ding Qi was stunned when he said this, and he fully saw Xian Hao's current thinking and asking for directions. He looked at Xian Hao and said, "I didn't think about anything, you actually reacted like this, I want to ask-what are you thinking?"

How to say that Ding Qi is also a psychologist, and the so-called conversation here is the exchange of spiritual ideas, Xian Hao said Ding Qi's words, which just reflects where she is thinking. If it weren't for the incarnation of an egret, it is estimated that Xian Hao's face would be red at this moment, and he simply turned his head and ignored Ding Qi.
