Ding Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I personally think it's the second case." But until you figure it out, it's hard to rule out other possibilities. ”

Tan Hanchuan asked again: "Since those three people have all been in, can we find clues from them and see how they got in?"

Ding Qi frowned and said, "I've been thinking about this question for a long time, even in the state of deep hypnosis, I haven't found any clues. There is one more thing I want to remind you that Tian Qi is dead, and I can't say the situation, but Tu Zhi and Lu Fang have no memory of entering the secret realm outside the square at all.

They just think they have had that kind of dream, or have dreamed of that scene afterwards, and it's just a subconscious trace. They may have accidentally stumbled into the secret realm outside the realm, but such an experience will affect people's consciousness, and even inexplicably erase relevant memories, causing psychological or spiritual problems.

So even if we can find a place, we may still encounter some dangers or unexpected situations, and I hope you are aware of it. Mr. Ye invited me to work in the psychology clinic, which was recommended by Mr. Fan. Mr. Fan should know my situation very well, including my work at Boci Medical. How could Tu Zhi and Lu Fang both find me, I now think it is unlikely to be a coincidence.

Mr. Fan, you, a well-informed person, must have also investigated the background of Tu Zhi and Lu Fang, right?

There are some things that can be said to the point, and there is no need to say them too thoroughly. Ding Qi can already be sure that Fan Yang must have a lot of small actions behind the scenes, and Zhang Jinlin's deeds are so clear, how can he not pay attention to Tian Qi, Tu Zhi, and Lu Fang?

Fan Yang was not embarrassed, and coughed and said, "Teacher Ding is right, after I heard the news from Mr. Ye, I investigated the background and experience of these people. But these three people have nothing to do with each other, and their personalities are very different, Tian Qi is a neurotic, not to mention, Tu Zhi is a game producer who works in the field, and Lu Fang is the leader of a local state-owned enterprise in Jinghu.

I really didn't find any common clues, unless I brought them in person and asked them about it, but in that case, ......"

Ding Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Then there is no need, they came to me for psychotherapy at the beginning, if they really did that, it will only lead to more serious psychological problems." And they don't remember what happened, even in a state of deep hypnosis, nothing came of it, and even if they found it again, what would they do?"

At this time, Tan Hanchuan also waved his hand and said: "Since this is the case, empty talk is useless." The door is there, let's all go try it!"

Shi Buquan stood up and said, "I'll come first!"

Everyone came to the backyard again and pulled up the bamboo drill inserted in the courtyard and put it aside. Shi Buquan stepped forward and closed the door, closed his eyes and stood still for a long time, then reached out and slowly pushed the two door panels open. The door shaft creaked, as if opening up a mysterious and unknown world. But as far as the eye can see, there is still Nanlan Mountain Forest Park outside the door.

Shi Buquan kept his hands pushing the door still, as if he had turned into a sculpture. The others didn't speak, not even gasping for breath, lest they disturb his state. After about two minutes, Shi Buquan finally opened his eyes and turned around and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, there is something behind the door, I can feel it." But when I pushed the door open, it didn't feel like it was behind the door!"

Ye Xing was puzzled: "Could it be a psychological effect?"

Ding Qi replied: "Psychological suggestion is not ruled out, because it is just a feeling, but it is also possible that this feeling is real." ”

Shi Buquan explained very seriously: "Teacher Ding, I also understand what you said. But I just used the secret technique of the Jianghu Sect, and if I didn't do it, I wouldn't be able to feel it. ”

Fan Yang said: "Try me, you all stand back a little bit, don't disturb me." ”

Everyone retreated to the corner of the wall, leaving Fan Yang standing alone in front of the door. I didn't see Fan Yang make any other movements, but he stood quietly behind him for a long time, as if he was looking at the mountains outside the door. After a few more moments, he reached out and slapped himself in the face, and his voice was quite crisp, as if he was about to wake himself up.

Fan Yang stepped forward and closed the door again, still in the same posture as before, as if looking at the distant mountain and forest scenery, but in fact, his vision was blocked by the door panels, and the two door panels seemed to be transparent or did not exist...... After about ten minutes, Fan Yang also turned around and said, "Senior Brother Shi is right, I used the secret rejuvenation technique of the important sects of the rivers and lakes, and after closing the door, I feel that there is another scenery." ”

Ye Xing was a little dumbfounded, and muttered again: "Is there such a god?"

Ding Qi was noncommittal and said, "Maybe there is!"

Tan Hanchuan frowned and said, "Teacher Ding, I want to talk to you alone." ”

Ding Qi was stunned: "And me?"

Tan Hanchuan nodded very seriously and said, "Yes, let's go to the study." ”

When he entered the study, Tan Hanchuan had nothing else to do, just to listen to Ding Qi personally tell about his "discovery", why was he convinced of the existence of an unknown world outside the world? In fact, Ding Qi had already talked to Shi Buquan, Fan Yang, and Zhu Shanxian separately, but Tan Hanchuan still had to listen to him say it again in person, and after listening to it, he was thoughtful.

They chatted for about half an hour, and Tan Hanchuan pushed the door out and said to everyone: "I'll try it, you are all waiting in the house." Senior Brother Zhu, can you give me a mat?"

Zhu Shanxian found a cushion for Tan Hanchuan, and everyone stayed in the living room. Through the hall door, it can be seen that Tan Hanchuan reopened the courtyard door, put the cushion in front of the threshold, and sat down with his legs crossed, as if he had been concentrated. He sat for a long time, and there was no movement after half an hour.

Everyone was waiting in the hall a little bored, but it was not good to go over and disturb, Ye Xing asked in a low voice: "What is the secret of the Jianghu Fire Gate?"

Fan Yang smiled and explained in a low voice: "If it is said in the past Jianghu, it is an exaggeration, there are various secrets of alchemy and immortal cultivation. But the Eight Gates are just the Eight Gates, the means of walking the rivers and lakes, so they are just putting gold on their faces, in fact, what they are best at is the ...... of the room."

Zhu Shan interjected: "Those Jianghu statements can't be said to be wrong, but they are a little exaggerated. Of course, the immortals do not belong to the Fire Gate, but the secret of the Fire Gate is indeed related to the Dan Law, and the name is the Furnace Ding Technique. ”

At this moment, Tan Hanchuan, who was sitting upright, suddenly moved, raised his hands and pushed back, as if with a gust of wind, and the two wooden doors closed by themselves with a bang, startling everyone in the room.

Just now, everyone was chatting in a whisper, and no one else noticed Tan Hanchuan's movements, after all, he had been sitting motionless for a long time, and there was nothing to see, only Ding Qi had been paying attention to it. Tan Hanchuan sat on the ground and didn't move, just stretched out his hands, and his position could only touch the door panel with his fingertips.

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that it is impossible to close the two door panels inwards in this position, because there is nothing to grip on. Could it be that this is the Splitting Empty Palm, the Dragon Capture Skill, or the Aerial Imperial Objects in Xianxia? Ding Qi saw it in the morning, Tan Hanchuan knows kung fu, and only now did he know that this person's kung fu is probably very powerful, even beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Then Tan Hanchuan remained in a sitting posture again, and after about twenty minutes, he heard a thick and long exhalation. He stood up and walked back to the hall, looking like he was drunk, closing his eyes and sitting down on the couch without saying a word, as if he were awake.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, they looked at each other for a while, and no one bothered, because Zhu Shanxian put a finger in front of his mouth and made a silent movement. After a while, Tan Hanchuan seemed to have come back to his senses, and suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I saw it!"

Everyone asked, "Old Tan, what did you see, making it so mysterious?"

Tan Hanchuan's gaze was not on everyone, as if he was looking into the distance through the wall, as if he was still reminiscing about something, and replied a little sneeringly: "I saw the world of the Immortal Family outside Fang, the legendary Xiaojing Lake. ”

Such words came out of the mouth of a researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and it was this kind of expression and tone, which inexplicably gave people a strong sense of disobedience. Fan Yang poked his head and said, "Did you see it, or did you feel it?"

Tan Hanchuan: "I really saw it!"

Fan Yang's tone became more anxious: "Did you really see it? Not an illusion? What does it look like? Why do we all just have feelings, but you see it directly? Through that door, do you see another world?"

He asked so many questions in one breath, but Tan Hanchuan's tone was still unhurried, as if he was thinking about it, he replied: "You may not have enough mental cultivation, insufficient qi cultivation skills, or the wrong application method of secret techniques, after all, the secret techniques passed down by the eight sects are not for this." If you try it well, or practice it well, you may see it. ”

This was said very directly, and in terms of "cultivation", he was the highest among the people seated. But this is also a conclusion based on facts, and it is the attitude that scientists should have.

After saying this, Tan Hanchuan seemed to feel that he had said too much and couldn't say any more, and said to Ding Qi: "Teacher Ding, please come with me into the study, there are some things that I can only say to you alone." Don't bother anyone else. ”

Tan Hanchuan's style of acting was very direct, and he didn't answer everyone's most concerned question at all, that is, what he saw, but called Ding Qi into the study alone. Ding Qi followed him in confusion, and Tan Hanchuan also locked the door.

Tan Hanchuan was the first to speak: "Teacher Ding, on some issues, you are the professional and have the most right to speak. We have discussed it just now, Mr. Fan, Ah Quan, and Lao Zhu all said that they felt that there was something or a certain breath or environment outside the door, but you said that the influence of psychological factors could not be completely ruled out. ”

Ding Qi had no choice but to nod and say, "That's the case, what did Teacher Tan see?"

Tan Hanchuan still said to himself: "No matter what I see, I can't rule out the factor of psychological suggestion, so we have to use the double-blind test method to test it." This was originally a psychological test, and now it is commonly used in scientific research experiments. ”

Ding Qi immediately reacted to what was going on, no wonder Tan Hanchuan didn't tell others what he saw, he just didn't want to and couldn't let others know. It was a double-blind trial, and Ding Qi, a psychologist, was the examiner.

This study is Shi Buquan's studio some time ago, in addition to the entire wall of bookcases, there is also a couch and coffee table, and there is a large bookcase against the wall on the other side. The paper and pen on the bookcase are ready-made, brushes, pencils, hard pens, soft pens, signature pens, calligraphy and painting paper, and printing paper.

Tan Hanchuan sat in front of the bookcase, took a piece of calligraphy and painting paper and began to draw, and Ding Qi stood aside with his back hand and watched quietly. Obviously, Tan Hanchuan is not a painter, he is not so much painting as drawing, and all the scenes are very stereotyped. However, Tan Hanchuan's engineering drawing skills are obviously very good, and the perspective ratio of the scenery in the picture is very rigorous.

Tan Hanchuan put down his pen quickly, and stopped from time to time to look forward for a while, as if he was looking at something in his memory, and changed his pen from time to time, in order to express the characteristics of the depicted scenery more accurately.

After about twenty minutes, Tan Hanchuan's drawing was finished, and he handed it to Ding Qi and said, "Teacher Ding, my painting is not good, but this is not the point. The focus is on the structural features, which I have tried to depict as best I can, and this is what I just saw.

Floating clouds drifted above, obscuring part of the view, and the clouds seemed to be pressing on the door beam. And I'm on a higher position, like I'm in the mountains. Looking ahead, there is a large lake in the valley below, and the other side of the lake is also a mountain, and there is a river that flows around the mountain into the large lake, which is slightly zigzag.

At the first bend of the zigzag, there is a lake halfway up the mountain, and it is not clear to see it later, there are clouds and mountains, and the view is blocked...... I'll give you this picture for safekeeping. Don't show it to anyone first, then it's up to Lao Zhu and Ah Quan. If they can see anything, don't tell anyone else, just draw it for you. ”

Ding Qi continued: "You don't know what each other sees, and if you see the scene, the details are the same, then you can rule out the role of psychological suggestion, which means that you really saw it." ”

Tan Hanchuan nodded and said, "Not only should I draw it separately, but also describe it to you separately." And you can't give any hints or hints about whether the descriptions of each person are consistent? There is another possibility, that is, Lao Zhu and Ah Quan have seen each other, but the scenes described are inconsistent. If this happens, what does Mr. Ding think?"

Ding Qi analyzed: "That's not one possibility, but two possibilities. The first is that they are affected by psychological suggestion, and they see things in a trance, but they are actually subconsciously imagined things. The second is that they really discovered the small lake, but the scenery in the small lake will change, or everyone's perspective is different.

The specific situation, to be analyzed in detail, can be observed through the intake meeting......" Ding Qi said this, although he remained calm, as if discussing a scientific research topic, but his heart was shocked. Because the picture drawn by Tan Hanchuan is not the same as the image he saw in the spiritual world of Tian Qi, Tu Zhi, and Lu Fang, it can be said that they are completely two places.

Although Tan Hanchuan can't draw, through his description and then comparing this drawing, the picture should be a fairy scene with mountains and flowing water, rippling blue waves, and auspicious clouds floating. Unlike the "Big Red Mountain" that Ding Qi "saw", where the hills are undulating and revealing red stone walls, the mountains are not high, and there are towering ancient trees everywhere, and the atmosphere seems a little solemn and depressing.

But Ding Qi can't immediately come to a different conclusion, it is possible that what he sees is only a certain place in the deep mountains, but the perspective is different, and the range of scenery painted by Tan Hanchuan is quite broad. Ding Qi thought about it and decided not to say this for the time being, because his current identity is the examiner of the double-blind test, and as an examiner, he does not participate in the description.

Tan Hanchuan said: "What I saw was a legendary scene of the fairy family, and now that I think about it, if it is the result of psychological suggestion, it may be influenced by the story told by Lao Zhu." It is also possible for others to see similar scenes due to psychological cues, but since they are subconsciously imagined, the details of the scenery cannot be completely consistent.

This picture doesn't express all the details I saw, but it's a research data or test evidence, Mr. Ding will put it away first, and I'll give you a detailed description of what I saw......"

The other four people in the living room sat there and waited for a long time, but there was no movement in the study. Ye Xing whispered: "What the hell is Teacher Tan doing? I only said that I saw it, but I didn't say what I saw, so I dragged Teacher Ding into the house alone, is there any secret between them? These two people seem to have only met today!"

Shi Buquan suddenly said: "Double-blind test." ”

Zhu Shanxian also nodded and said, "Yes, it should be a double-blind test." ”

Fan Yang was a little dissatisfied and said: "This old Tan, he didn't say hello, he directly pulled Teacher Ding into the house, and it was not too late to make it clear first." ”

Zhu Shan smiled idly: "That's his temper, a scientific research worker!"

Ye Xing is not stupid, he has already reacted at this moment, and frowned again: "It seems that Teacher Tan really saw something, I'm really curious!"

Fan Yang sighed and said, "Since we have to do a double-blind test, it's useless to be curious, one of us has to have another person who can also see it, and it can't be Teacher Ding who already knows." If you want to know what Teacher Tan saw, you have to keep waiting. ”

Zhu Shanxin said again: "Mr. Fan, I called Lao Tan this time, I found the right person, right? Scientific researchers, their attitudes and methods are so rigorous!"

Ye Xing whispered weakly: "Are we here to engage in scientific research?"

Shi Buquan asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"

Ye Xing stopped talking, he felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of these people, and he was invisibly thrown away, just like walking on the mountain road this morning, he was the one who had the most difficulty following behind. Ye Xing was a little unwilling, he thought that he was also the heir of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, and he knew all kinds of routines and thresholds, how could he be regarded as half a tired disciple, right?

And Ding Qi is completely an outsider, when it comes to such an occasion, how can he seem to be more valued? After thinking about it, this is also a helpless thing, whether it is doing a double-blind test or judging and analyzing everyone's self-description, Ding Qi is undoubtedly the most suitable among all the people present. At this moment, the door of the study opened, and Tan Hanchuan and Ding Qi walked out.
