Text Text_137, the experience of 3,000 years ago
, The fastest update outside the party: The latest chapter of the disappearing eight doors! Bi Xuecheng is a bit of a broken mouth, often running trains with his mouth, and always angry with a book. When he saw him, Ding Qi couldn't help but think of Shi Buquan, so he moved the idea of accepting disciples, not only teaching the secret method of Yifang, but also passing on the micro-technique of the book. This kid is practicing pretty well.
When Ding Qi was accepted as an apprentice, Bi Xuecheng was already a junior in college, and he was 21 years old this year. Shi Buquan had been practicing micro-techniques since he was a child, if Ding Qi only taught Bi Xuecheng according to the traditional set of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, Bi Xuecheng would probably be difficult to get started, and even if he could get started, it would take a long time, and it would even be too late at his age.
However, Ding Qi found that it might be better to cultivate in an indirect way, that is, to teach the secret method outside the square first, if the secret method outside the square can be cultivated, as a foundation, and then get used to the secret techniques of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, it will have the effect of touching the bypass. On the surface, this is a detour, but in fact it has become a shortcut to overtake in a corner.
In fact, Ding Qi himself also benefited from this, with his age from now on to start practicing martial arts, how can it be so easy to practice into a "cloud pinch on the tip of the stick"?
Ding Qi's disciples can also be regarded as enjoying the blessings of the elder, Zhuang Mengzhou once specially praised Ding Qi, and the secret method outside the square is a great achievement. In Ding Qi's view, Bi Xuecheng's cultivation of micro-art is a shortcut, but in the eyes of others, this may not be the case. Because the Outer Secret Method is not so easy to get started, it is even more difficult than cultivating the Micro Technique alone.
Several of Ding Qi's disciples were able to get started, because they had been passed down by Ding Qi himself, and Ding Qi's special talent and various methods mastered were not available to everyone. If you change to a master to teach, and then change a group of disciples to learn, I am afraid that you will not be able to enter the door for the rest of your life.
There is a realm of cultivating secret techniques outside the recipe as the foundation, and it is better to get started by cultivating other secret techniques, but cultivating secret techniques will also take up a lot of time and energy, and it will not be abandoned to the end, so Ding Qi only plans to teach Bi Xuecheng into the micro arts. And if Bi Xuecheng wants to cultivate the micro-technique to the level that Shi Buquan originally did, I'm afraid it will take several years of hard work.
Ye Yanxing is the same age as Bi Xuecheng, and he is also twenty-one this year, he and Bi Xuecheng share the same bedroom, and they are best friends. Ye Yanxing usually doesn't talk much, and he is a little shy, but he can always pop up a few golden sentences or jokes from time to time, and he is a typical young man who grew up in the Internet era.
For Ye Yanxing, Ding Qi wanted to teach him the Tired Door Body Meditation Technique, his name was only one word different from Ye Xing, and Ye Xing claimed to be a tired disciple but did not know the Body Observation Technique. But the time is not yet ripe, mainly because Ding Qi, the master's own level, is not enough.
Ding Qi did not get the secret transmission of the Tired Gate Meditation Technique, although he had a relationship with the Tired Sect Master Wu Shenshou, and also named the first layer of the secret method outside the Fang Outside the Realm as the Observation of the Body Realm, and he also had an understanding of the Meditation Technique, but he had not yet summed up his own cultivation system of the Meditation Technique, so he could only wait for the future.
As for Meng Huiyu, she is one year younger than the two senior brothers, and she is twenty this year, and it is also due to the law that she can worship Ding Qi as a teacher. Ding Qi planned to teach her the Sect Xing Divine Technique, but in fact, it couldn't be completely said to be the secret of the Sect, it was Ding Qi's own summary of the Divine Rejuvenation Technique according to the secret of the Sect, and Fan Yang did not teach him at the beginning.
According to Ding Qi's professional and experience accumulation, he can now summarize a set of Xingshen techniques similar to the secret transmission of the important sect, if you want to stay here for a long time, you might as well find an opportunity to teach Meng Huiyu.
Why did Ding Qi have the intention of teaching the three disciples these three secret techniques? Because among the descendants of the eight gates of the rivers and lakes he knew, Shi Buquan's whereabouts are now unknown, Fan Yang is no longer there, and the heirs of the tired sect do not know where, and he also wants to complete the inheritance of the eight secret arts in his own hands.
Ding Qi still has two disciples outside, namely Tu Zhi and Wei Fanting. Tu Zhi is a master brother, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, older than Ding Qidu. As for Wei Fanting, she couldn't figure out her exact age, she was twenty-five years old on her ID card, but she looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
For these two disciples, Ding Qi didn't want to teach them the eight secret techniques for the time being, on the one hand, he didn't practice so much himself, on the other hand, it was better to let them live a small life, and he couldn't think about it for the time being. If Ding Qi and the others were trapped here for a year, it would only be equivalent to about six days in the outside world, not even a week.
In addition to teaching his disciples, Ding Qi himself also had to cultivate, and when he walked in the deep mountains, he already had a feeling that if the realm of the secret method outside the square could not be taken to the next level, they might not be able to get out.
Hearing the funny conversation between the two disciples, Ding Qi couldn't help laughing, and opened the first volume of the "Chronicles of the Heavenly Kingdom" in his hand to one of the pages and said, "You should take a good look at the introduction here, the flocculent tree seed is also a medicine in this world, and it was discovered by the sage Heavenly Brother Tao Xin." According to Tao Xin, its medicinal properties can 'remove ulcers and insects'.
If you are accidentally bitten by the night dragon, you should quickly pull out the dirty blood from the wound with a fire cup, use the powder made from roasted flocculent seeds, and soak the whole body in hot water within an hour, and maybe save your life. It can be seen that this thing should have the effect of sterilization and disinfection, and you Uncle Tan added this flavor medicine to the soup bath prescription, not without reason, he should have read the medical books here.
Flocca seeds are not flocculent seed oil, and the effect of internal and external use is not the same. According to the book, flocculent seed oil is best consumed with meat oil for the best contraceptive effect, that is, it is used to add a little animal fat when stir-frying meat or vegetables. Besides, what does this have to do with your completion of your studies, do you still want to do something here? Don't forget the edict issued by your Uncle Zhuang!"
Ye Yanxing quipped: "If you are really avoided from getting pregnant, wouldn't it be more convenient to do something here?" But Master Zhuang had the foresight and promulgated that edict in advance, and you have no chance!"
Bi Xuecheng sneered: "Don't always pull me, who is shouting on the road to find the butterfly girl?" I was just a little worried just now, will it affect my future function......"
Ye Yanxing: "According to the practice of so many people here for 3,000 years, it should not be affected. Senior brother, don't you talk about these immodest things, haven't you seen that Senior Sister Meng's face is red?"
Meng Huiyu did blush, lowered her head and even fidgeted a little, as if something was wrong. Ding Qi said with concern: "Xiao Meng, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Hui whispered embarrassedly, "I want to go to the bathroom." ”
They lived in the back courtyard of the shrine, and there were no thatched houses in the back courtyard. Because there is no one living here, who would build a thatched house in a place where no one lives? And in the dark of night here, it is inconvenient and even dangerous to go out of the house to the thatched house. But the people here are very thoughtful, the house is stocked with all kinds of things that might be used, and behind everyone's bed there is something familiar to modern urbanites but hardly seen - the toilet.
Ding Qi put down the book in his hand and said: "There are nine volumes of this "Chronicles of the Heavenly Kingdom", you each take two of them and take them back to read, and then exchange them after reading them." Don't go to bed too late today, it's not too late to look after dawn, avoid wasting candles, I'll send you back to your room first. ”
By this time it was already dark, and four candles had been placed in everyone's room in advance, and the walnuts were one foot thick and one foot long, and each one could be lit for a long time. Unlike the usual mineral waxes on the outside, the candles here are brownish yellow and greasy to the touch, and should be made of resin and animal fat.
Candles are very precious here, ordinary people usually don't use them at all, even oil lamps are rarely lit, and they close the doors and windows to sleep after dark. There was also a fire sickle on the table, which was actually very inconvenient to light the fire, and they were not very good at using it, but fortunately everyone brought windproof lighters when they came.
Ding Qi walked downstairs with a candle in one hand and a stick in the other, and sent the three students back to their respective rooms. He stood in the courtyard and watched the dark night sky for a while, then went back to the house to put out the candle and put it down, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness where he could not see his fingers. In the darkness, he went out again with a stick and went downstairs, and walked through the courtyard straight out of the shrine.
When I came to the front yard, there was a sudden movement in the wing room next to me, and I heard the sound of the door opening in the dark, and the voice of Xiao Bozhi, the marshal of the East Daying, asked: "Brother Ding Tian, do you want to go out at night?" It is better to stay in the house, there will be danger outside. ”
Ding Qi replied, "Don't worry, I just want to walk around the neighborhood." ”
Xiao Bozhi: "If Brother Tian wants to travel at night, I will ask someone to escort him on the train." ”
The so-called train, of course, is different from the train outside, that is, it carries a clay pot, and the cart in the clay pot can light the fire, which is one of the essential items for traveling here at night, and people should not go too far from the fire.
Ding Qi shook his head and said: "No need, I just want to feel the experience of Tao Xin's sage walking through the night back then, there will be no danger, you sleep with yours, don't worry about me." ”
Xiao Bozhi: "Then do you want to put on a bamboo armor? I'll ask someone to get you a pair that fits." ”
Ding Qi waved his hand and said: "Zhujia is no longer necessary, since you call me Brother Tian, you should believe what I say, and if I say it's okay, it will be fine." ”
Brother Tian's words were all said so, and Xiao Bozhi didn't dare to refute it, so he had to bow down in front of the door and say, "Brother Ding Tian, be careful, if you have something, call me at any time." ”
They talk with movements and gestures, but they are invisible to each other because there is not the slightest light in the environment. After speaking, Xiao Bozhi had already closed the door, and Ding Qi suddenly asked again: "Lord Marshal, as soon as you open your mouth, call out Brother Ding Tian." If you can't see it here, how can you know it's me?"
Xiao Bozhi: "Brother Ding's footsteps are different from the other three Heavenly Brothers, and the feeling is different, I can tell the difference." ”
Ding Qi pushed open the gate of the shrine and came to the village community, and found that the environment was not completely dark, and there was a faint light outside, and the light source came from the left and right directions.
There are only about 50 households in the main shrine of Dongdaying, which is not large, but it occupies a lot of space, so the courtyards of each family's residences are very spacious. The shrine gate faces south, and one of the widest roads in the village passes right in front of it, and there is a large open space opposite the shrine, where the twice-monthly "small market" is located.
A wall about four meters high and 80 centimeters wide was built around the village, made of stones and broken bricks. Relative to the size of the village's population, the wall was built over several generations, probably over a long period of time, and only needed to be repaired over the years that followed.
The wall has two gates, east and west, and in the middle of the road leading to the door, there is a small brick pavilion at four corners. The pavilion is not large and only one meter square, and there is a clay pot in the middle, which is lit with a fire, and it will not be poured on rainy days. The fire wasn't big, but it stood out in the absolute darkness.
The gate is not closed at night, and the glittering openings can be seen far away. If the residents of this area do not return before dark due to an accident, they can also get directions in the field. Ding Qi's steps were as light as possible, not wanting to disturb the people who had fallen asleep, but when he walked to the east gate, he still alarmed people.
There is a room on the inside of the wall, a bit like the communication room of the compound of the outside world, which is manned at night. Before Ding Qi approached, someone heard the movement and came out of the house, and when he saw that it was him, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Brother Ding Tian, where are you going?"
In order to save fuel, the fire will not burn too strongly, and it is necessary to add fuel to the fire every once in a while to ensure that it will not be extinguished overnight. Ding Qi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to pay attention to it, just watch the gate here, and I'll go out for a walk." ”
The man knelt down and said, "Brother Qiqi, there is a night dragon flying after dark, and it is very unsafe in the wilderness, so you should stay in the house and close the doors and windows safely." If something happens to Brother Tian, it will be our sin!"
Ding Qi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to always kneel down and salute, just stand and talk." Since I dare to go out, there will be no problem, today is just to feel how Brother Tao Xin walked through the night three thousand years ago. You don't have to bother, I'll call you when I have something. ”
Ding Qi walked out of the east gate of the main shrine of Dongdaying with a cane in his back, which was very similar to a certain pose that Zhuang Mengzhou had posed, but now this door is very wide, so the stick is not tripped by the door frame, and his back looks very chic and calm. The social citizen on duty looked at Ding Tian's back, his eyes full of reverence.
There are dangers in the night, mainly from two sources. One is the darkness where you can't see your fingers, let alone see the road, you can't even tell the direction, you can't walk normally, if you accidentally fall into the water, I'm afraid you can't even find the shore. Another danger comes from the sky, where the Night Dragon could strike at any moment.
The village community is relatively safe, as the Night Dragon usually rarely flies in, and only appears occasionally. There are no night dragons' nests in the wilderness around the village, and the probability of the night dragon's appearance is much smaller than in the mountains, but it is still encountered from time to time. After all, night dragons can fly and forage for food at night, and a distance of more than ten kilometers is not too far for them.
There is a kind of bamboo armor in the local area, which is inherited from the pair of golden silk bamboo armor made by Tao Xin sage. Nowadays, of course, it is not made of gold wire, but drilled holes in the corners of the tough Nan bamboo, tied with silk thread or fine twine, and worn on the body a bit like the ancient golden jade clothes, which can prevent being bitten by the night dragon.
Despite the presence of bamboo armor, people here will not be idle to wear it at night and run out for a walk, only for some special occasions. Ding Qi rejected Xiao Bozhi's kindness to persuade him to put on bamboo armor, because it would affect his movements and reactions, and he still relied on the long stick in his hand.
At your feet is the road that came by sedan chair during the day, and when you look back, you can see the shiny doorway of the village, but when you turn around and go in another direction, it is the darkness that engulfs everything. Ding Qi simply closed his eyes and walked forward unhurriedly. He came out at night mainly to confirm one thing and seek an answer, how did Tao Xin walk through the darkness three thousand years ago?
There was no wind, and the surroundings were quiet, even dead silent. Today's season is equivalent to early summer, and Ding Qi remembers that when he was a child in his hometown mountain village, there were two things that were very noisy in summer, namely Zhizhi and frogs. It's good to know, but the frogs in the pond are croaking all night.
There are a lot of frogs here, but they don't croak at night, maybe it's because of the environment. Interestingly, the roosters here do not crow early in the morning, because the breed is not the same as the chickens outside. But there was still a sound in the early morning to wake people up, and that was the sound of frogs chirping in the fields. The frogs of this world do not crow until dawn.
In the dead silence, although Tintzi's footsteps were soft, they were clearly audible. With his footsteps, he gently touched the ground with the tip of the stick in his hand, as if "seeing" the situation around him through the echo. It is a synaesthesia, the substitution of one sense for another, and it is not a mystery to a psychologist.
Tincey now looks like a blind man walking with a staff, and the darkness has no effect on the blind man. In the outside world, many medical institutions have conducted experiments to train blind people to judge the surrounding objects through echolocation, and they have entered the application stage.
This seems to be the replacement of sight with hearing, but perception is different from sensation in that it is the result of the processing of information in the mind, and the spatial scene is finally formed in the mind through sound. And the source of this spatial vision may not only be sound information, but also the brain's speculation or imagination of other information that is not yet aware.
Ding Qi walked in the dark at the moment and did not get lost, and did not rely only on auditory synaesthesia, because he had a heart plate. On the way here, he is condensing his heart, even if he closes his eyes, he knows the road he has traveled and the direction, just like walking through a world that he already has in his mind, even if his eyes can't see, his heart is also "clear".
If he only relied on the heart plate, Ding Qi could only go to the places he had already been, and if he turned a corner and walked to a road he had not traveled before, it would still be difficult to make out in the dark. But Ding Qi turned a corner, left the main road and entered the fork in the road. It is important to know that there are lakes and water systems in the area around Dongdaying, and it is very dangerous to wander around in the dark.
Ding Qi struck the ground with the tip of his stick, in a certain state of synaesthesia, as if he could distinguish the surrounding spatial scenes, and after a while, he put the stick away, and in such a quiet environment, the sound of footsteps was enough. Ding Qi has another conclusion, he is relying not only on hearing at the moment, but also on a sense that is not easy to describe.
After the secret method outside the square broke through the hidden realm, Ding Qi realized the divine sense, and the divine consciousness was like an extension of the senses. In Zhuang Mengzhou's recommendation to him, the concept of spiritual consciousness was also mentioned, and Ding Qi borrowed this term. But he didn't like that kind of fantasy explanation, and if Tinchi himself was some kind of monk, he was also a scholarly monk.
Ding Qi himself has personally experienced the spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness mentioned in the book, but he is thinking about another question, where does the so-called spiritual consciousness and divine consciousness come from, and what is the basis and principle of their birth?
Tincchi was first inspired by the phenomenon of synaesthesia. In fact, synaesthesia is not the absolute substitution of one sense for another, but the brain processes one information into another. So what is the highest level of synaesthesia? It's called spiritual sense! All the senses are interconnected and processed by the brain into comprehensive perceptual information.
You can't tell which kind of senses it comes from, on the surface it is a kind of mental induction, but the principle behind it is that the subconscious mind synthesizes all the perceptual functions that people are not even aware of. When this perception becomes clear and stable after a long period of training, and becomes an ability that can be used at any time, the so-called spiritual consciousness becomes divine consciousness.
That's what Tintzi concluded. Some people may say that this is a kind of "supernatural power", but Ding Qi prefers to use another way of saying it, which is an ability that has been mastered through training, exercise, or cultivation on the basis of synaesthesia.
On a small clay brick bridge, Ding Qi stopped for a moment, no sound, but he unfolded his divine sense, and everything around him could be felt within the reach of his divine sense. Without light, there is no color, which is different from ordinary vision, what he perceives is the spatial outline of things, and at the same time contains their texture or physical properties.
Ding Qi unfolded his divine sense and continued to move forward, he had already realized the state of Tao Xin back then, and also understood why this ancient man was able to walk through the night. He is like another Tao Xin three thousand years later, experiencing Tao Xin's original experience, and as if he is communicating with him through time and space, and entering the resonance of a physical and mental state.
But Ding Qi is different from Tao Xin, he is not wearing the bamboo armor, but he has a stick in his hand.
