After about another less than two kilometers, the ship finally dropped anchor a few dozen meters away from the shore. The island is surrounded by sandy beaches, and there is no place for a harbor, so you can disembark from the floating dock.

The so-called floating dock is a waterproof and corrosion-resistant hard shell wrapped in large pieces of foam, bundled and connected together, covered with mats to smooth out, extending from the shore for dozens of meters. Several sailors jumped off the ship with great skill, stood firm on the slightly shaky dock, set up a gangway to invite the guests down, and three men stood on the shore to greet them.

Ma Yuanling greeted: "You unload the things and transport them up, and I will accompany a few guests to go shopping." ”

Finally stepping onto the beach of Jingsha Island, with undulating sand dunes at his feet, Ding Qi reached out and grabbed a handful of sand to look closely, and found the special thing about this place. Strictly speaking, these are not sand, but mung bean-sized grains that are off-white in color. If you look at it under a microscope, the shape of the grit is irregular, the edges are smooth, and there are many fine pores on the surface.

These gray-white particles are not only distributed on the seaside, but also go far ahead, undulating to form sand dunes, some of which are even seven or eight meters high. Ma Yuanling smiled: "Courtyard Master Ding has already sensed that something is wrong?"

Tian Zhongluo also smiled: "When I first came, I was also very surprised. I heard that Jinshan Temple is a place of trial, and this Jingsha Island is also a place of trial. ”

Shui Ruo rubbed his temples and said, "Your voice is so strange, it's too quiet here!"

Tian Zhongluo and Ma Yuanling's voices were strange, and Shui Ruo's own voice was also very strange. Her voice was originally nice, but now it seemed very dry, because there was no echo of the environment at all. The further you go to the shore, the quieter it becomes, and you can't even hear the sound of the waves not far away in the sand dunes formed by these gray gravel dunes.

Even the grinding sound caused by stepping on the gray gravel is very faint, but it is so rough and harsh in the silence, and the sound of my own breathing and heartbeat can be heard clearly, and the concussion sound caused by the breeze blowing in my ears is obvious...... In other words, in a quiet environment with almost no echo, the sensory organs transmit various sound signals to the brain that are usually ignored.

"It's this kind of grit, it seems to absorb sound waves, and it barely reflects sound," Tincchi said. ”

Ma Yuanling said in a voice that became a little harsh: "Yes, this is the origin of Jingsha Island. ”

Shui Ruo: "If you stay in this environment for a long time, people will hallucinate and even go crazy." ”

Ding Qi nodded and said, "Who says it's not, it will cause auditory hallucinations and even hallucinations." ”

Shui Ruo: "I understand the hallucinations, but what's the matter with the hallucinations?"

Ding Qi explained: "Although people do not directly use echolocation like bats, they will also sense things through echoes in the subconscious, and the brain is always receiving all kinds of chaotic sound waves in daily life, most of which are reflected from the surface of various objects, although they do not deliberately pay attention, but they are also sensed in the subconscious."

This induction is especially pronounced for blind people, and even conscious echolocation can be trained. But in an absolutely quiet environment, the senses become very uncomfortable, because the auditory system is not aware of the existence of things around them, and the subconscious is prone to delusions. For example, I always feel like there is something around me, but there is actually nothing......"

Ma Yuanling praised: "I have heard the name of Teacher Ding for a long time, and he deserves to be an expert!"

Shui Ruo: "Hearing you say that, I always feel that something is following behind. ”

Tian Zhongluo smiled again: "Then the water always goes to the front, and we will protect it in the back." ”

Ding Qi: "Lord Madao, how big is the distribution range of this gray and gravel area?"

Ma Yuanling: "The island is surrounded by all sides, the width is about a kilometer or so, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk through it, and it feels much better when you get to the mountain." ”

Continuing on, he came to a place surrounded by sand dunes on all sides, where there was no wind, and the discomfort of silence was almost extreme, but Ding Qi actually saw several houses. These houses were built with the gray gravel that was molded with adhesive, and he wondered, "Lord Madao, how many simple houses have you built here, either for torture or for cultivation, right?"

Ma Yuanling was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "The master of the Ding Courtyard has good eyesight, and he has already seen that these quiet rooms are indeed places for cultivation. The secret method of inheritance on Jingsha Island is easier to get started with the help of this environment. But on the other hand, it's also a kind of torture, it's almost like torture, that's how I came back then. ”

Ding Qi: "If my guess is right, the secret art of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, Jingsha Island has also inherited at least one of them, which is the Tired Gate Body Observation Technique." ”

Ma Yuanling was really surprised this time, looked at Ding Qi with some astonishment, and asked after a few seconds: "Is the Ding Courtyard Master also proficient in the body contemplation technique?"

Ding Qi smiled: "I don't dare to say that I am proficient, but I have dealt with the Tired Sect Descendants, and I have also been in contact with the inheritance of the Body Contemplation Technique." ”

Tian Zhongluo interjected: "Then which of the eight secret techniques is inherited by the Jinshan Academy?"

Ding Qi: "It should be the Juemen Wangqi Technique." ”

Tian Zhongluo wondered: "What should it be the Juemen Wangqi Technique, is it still possible?"

Ding Qi: "I'm different from you, I'm a latecomer, and I don't know much about history. ”

Ma Yuanling: "Oh, how did you get the inheritance of Jinshan Academy?"

Ding Qi asked calmly, "Can I not tell you?"

Ma Yuanling smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's me who lost my words, there are some things that shouldn't be asked! ”

How did Ding Qi know that there was a inheritance of the Tired Gate Body Contemplation Technique on Jingsha Island? Previously, he had already guessed that the secret method of inheritance in each of the worlds outside the Fang was related to the secret technique of the Eight Gates of the Jianghu Gate, and at least one of them had been inherited; secondly, he met Chen Rong in the world of Qin Gaotai, listened to his introduction to the inheritance of the Doctor Dan Dao, and also saw the medical classics left by Tao Hongjing, which contained the content of the Tired Gate Contemplation Technique.

It can be inferred from this that the inheritance secret method of the outer world of Qin Gaotai is also related to the body contemplation technique, although Tao Xin did not hand over the inheritance of the secret realm of heaven and earth and the treasure of the control realm to Ding Qi. Ding Qi now knows that the first thing to practice is to be able to meditate. Entering meditation is also a kind of entry, but it has its own unique requirements, and it is a state of extreme tranquility.

The state of mind and body of the Extremely Quiet Realm is very difficult to reach, which prevents most people from cultivating the possibility of getting started, and there are many ways to cultivate it, the most typical of which is "listening to the curtain backwards". The so-called hanging curtain is not only to lower the eyes, but to be in a quiet environment without any disturbance from the outside world, until it can cut off the outer edge, shield the ordinary senses and not accept any external information.

The so-called reverse hearing, also known as inward vision, does not necessarily refer to ordinary vision, but emphasizes that the senses are inward and not outward, and everything that comes from the body is perceived. In an extremely quiet environment, no sound from the outside world can be heard, and the movement of breathing, heartbeat, blood flow, and internal organs can be clearly heard, even visible, and you can perceive yourself in this state.

So Ding Qi found that there was such a magical gravel on the island, and someone used this gravel to build a quiet room in the sand dunes.

Topics involving the secrets of the various inheritances are certainly not suitable for in-depth discussion. As he spoke, the terrain gradually increased, and everyone had stepped out of the range of gray sand dunes, feeling much more comfortable, at least hearing had returned to normal. The high part of the island is covered with vegetation, and the area close to the sand dunes is covered with coconut trees, and Ding Qi has seen at least three different kinds of coconuts, and above there are various miscellaneous trees.

There are three peaks on Jingsha Island in the distance, one low and two high camels, the low one is more than 100 meters above the sea level, and the two high mountains are about 200 meters. The owner of Ma Island took three guests to the col between the high and low hills, where there was a row of houses and a small two-story building, which was supposed to be built by transporting materials from outside.

It was a sheltered place from the wind, with a spring and a small pool next to the clearing. It is quite rare to have a fresh water source on this island, but if there are too many people living there, such a little fresh water is obviously not enough, so it is necessary to replenish fresh water and other daily necessities from the outside.

There is a very tall tree growing on the edge of the waterhole, at least more than 30 meters by sight, and there are fruits the size of winter melons hanging on it, and the largest fruit is almost hundreds of catties, which is jackfruit. Tintze had seen jackfruit in the supermarket, but it was the first time he had seen it growing on a tree.

The presence of such a spring on the island, and this jackfruit and those coconuts, should be able to guarantee the most basic survival, but the conditions will never be too good. The owner of Ma Island introduced: "We have arrived at the place, the personnel station on the island is here, it is too far from the land, all kinds of supplies have to be transported by boat, and too big ships cannot drive in, so the conditions are very simple, please bear with a few people." ”

Shui Ruo looked around and said: "This place is simply wonderful, it is really not easy to establish such a base on an overseas island, and it is also the outer world, the ancestor of the master of Ma Island is really not simple!"

At this time, the roar of the motor was heard again, and two four-wheeled ATVs drove into the base. They had taken another easy route up the beach and had to make several round trips to get the supplies they had brought on board.

When I was done and settled down, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and lunch was eaten together with dinner. Someone made coconut rice, a special island specialty, and the fruit was of course jackfruit. These things are very delicious, but they are too sweet, Ding Qi is not very used to them, but fortunately there are other dishes, the fish caught in the sea with the seasoning brought in from the outside, the cooking level is also quite good.

The most important main dish during the banquet was praised by Ding Qi and others, which was the coconut crab, a specialty of the tropical island. Adult coconut crabs are the size of a basin and have strong claws that can clip open the coconut to feed on the coconut meat, while their own meat is also very tasty. Coconut crab is now a rare animal, rarely eaten, and there is actually this kind of crab in Jingsha Island.

Jingsha Island is about six kilometers long from north to south and about four kilometers wide from east to west, if you remove the gray sand dune area, the place where vegetation grows is about four kilometers long from north to south, and about two kilometers wide from east to west, which is neither big nor small, and there are enough coconut groves for coconut crabs to reproduce. But this delicacy can't be caught indiscriminately, otherwise it will be eaten up quickly, and today it is a distinguished guest who came to the door to specially catch one to taste.

For island tours, you usually have to have a beach barbecue after eating the main course, but forget about the beach here, it is a barbecue stove set up in the open space next to the spring, meat skewers, spices, and beer are brought with the boat, and the drink is coconut water, and everyone is very happy. When it was time to rest in the evening, each of the three distinguished guests was assigned a separate room, and the furnishings were simple but clean.

Ding Qi took a look, not counting the kitchen and public bathroom, there are a total of eight rooms that can accommodate people. There were nine sailors who came on the same boat as the lord of Majima, and three were still stationed on the island. The lord of Ma Island lived in one room by himself, and each of the three guests had one room, and the remaining twelve people had to squeeze into the other five rooms, and the conditions were indeed hard enough.

As for whether there are other secret places on the island, and whether there are still garrisons who have not shown up, Ding Qi is not clear. His divine sense was far from covering the entire island, and the interference of the mountains and dense forests meant that the range of exploration was even more limited.

During the break, Tintzi made a rather surprising request, he didn't want to live in a house on the mountain, but wanted to experience the dunes he saw when he landed on the island.

Ma Yuanling smiled bitterly: "Master Ding, I know you are curious, you can experience it there a little, you can't spend the whole night." After a little time, it is simply torture, and it can be regarded as nerve toughness if it can last for more than half an hour. I can walk with you, just wait for you outside for a while, and then we'll come back and rest. ”

Ding Qi: "Don't be so troublesome, I remember the road, just go down the mountain by yourself, if you really can't stand it, then come back by yourself, it's not far anyway." ”

Ma Yuanling was still not at ease after all, so he personally sent Ding Qi down the mountain with a flashlight, came to the house surrounded by sand dunes, handed the flashlight to Ding Qi and said: "You take this, if you really can't stand it, go up the mountain and go back to rest by yourself." There's nothing dangerous on this island, unless you deliberately tease the coconut crab and get caught in the ......."

Ding Qi picked a room and sat down, there were no furnishings in the room, let alone tables and chairs, not even a cushion, and the floor was still that gray fine gravel. Sit cross-legged and can't hear anything, except for the various movements made by the running of your own body organs. There was no light in the room, and nothing could be seen in the darkness unless the mind was unfolded to sense.

Ding Qi retracted his divine sense, only inward and not outward, feeling that he was not living in a house, but in the wilderness, if he could not still feel the presence of the gravel under him, it was like floating in the void with nothing...... As the realm deepened, Ding Qi even restricted, and the whole person really seemed to be in the void.

Ding Qi was cultivating the Body Contemplation Technique, his cultivation had already broken through the Six Realms, and now he was only experiencing and cultivating another secret technique. Ding Qi has been in contact with the eight secret techniques of the rivers and lakes, such as Shi Buquan's explanation of the Book Gate Technique, Tan Hanchuan's explanation of the Fire Gate Furnace Ding Technique, Zhu Shanxian's explanation of the Juemen Wangqi Technique, Xian Hao's Floating Door Concealment Technique, Shang Ni's Fengmen Heart Plate Technique, and Zhuang Mengzhou's Shocking Door Spirit Rhino Technique.

Except for the Shocking Door Spirit Rhinoceros Technique, which can only rely on comprehension, Ding Qi of all the other secret techniques can be regarded as having obtained the true inheritance, but when he founded the Fangwai Secret Method, there were still two inheritances, that is, the Door Xing Divine Technique and the Tired Door Meditation Technique.

Ding Qi also had a personal experience of the magic technique later, because many of the particularities were related to his profession. The Tired Gate Body Observation Technique is the last link he misses, but it can be regarded as a complete insight in the world of Qin Gaotai.

Ding Qi created the secret method of the outside world, and the first step of entry is called the contemplation of the body. To contemplate the state of the body, we should cultivate the "book of the mind" and the "realm of the mind", that is, to build an inner spiritual world. When people themselves become a world, they can entrust their minds to condense Jingwen stone, and then sense another world.

The emphasis on contemplation is to cut off the outer edge to sense oneself. When the world outside the body disappears, the person himself is a world of its own. On this basis, we can sense external objects, cultivate the sympathy between heaven and man, and finally become one between heaven and man. Therefore, the contemplation technique is very important, and it is not without reason that Ding Qi named the first layer of the secret method outside the square as the contemplation realm.

Sitting upright in the sand dunes at this moment, Ding Qi quickly entered the realm of extreme tranquility, feeling the flow of qi and blood in his internal organs, as if he could clearly see inward. He himself is a separate world, with its own rules of operation, and the world is conscious......

The island lord did not go far, sitting on the top of a sand dune and could see the location of these rooms, listening to music while wearing headphones, while looking at the luminous watch from time to time. He was waiting for Ding Qi to come out to prove that what he said was true. According to experience, the average person stays in it for half an hour at most, and the limit is no more than forty-five minutes, seeing that it has been more than half an hour, Ma Yuanling can't help but show admiration.

But then waiting, his expression became more and more suspicious, because unconsciously, it had been more than two hours, and the mobile phone had been playing music and was about to run out of battery, and Ding Qi hadn't come out yet! At this time, Ma Yuanling's expression was shocked again, and he noticed the movement in the room, not what he heard, but what he sensed by expanding his divine sense.

Ding Qi no longer sat upright, but let go of his legs and lay down on his back, his body arching in the sand, as if he had found the most comfortable position.

Does Ding Qi want to sleep here? Although it is said that a quiet environment is conducive to sleep, quiet and extremely quiet are completely two different concepts, and people cannot sleep at all in extreme quiet! In fact, Ding Qi did not sleep either, he just changed his posture and was cultivating. Ma Yuanling looked at the quiet room in the dark, and there was a deep fear in his eyes.

At sunrise the next day, the scenery on the island was beautiful, and Ding Qi returned to the mountains with a flashlight, full of energy and radiance. Although this night's cultivation could not make the realm of the Outer Secret Method higher, the foundation was more solid. Looking at Ma Yuanling again, he didn't seem to have slept well last night, he looked a little tired, and yawned several times when he ate breakfast.

ps: Happy holidays, ask for a monthly pass!
