The egret and the magpie spread their wings and glided to the opposite bank, and the white horse shouted on the other side of the river, "Don't hurry up the mountain yet, wait for us to pass together." ”

The elephant raised its trunk and said, "I'll test how deep the water is first, and then Mr. Ding will cross the river again." ”

Unlike most people, rivers tend to be wide and wetlands. The river is so clear that it doesn't seem to be deep, but it is precisely this particularly clear water that is often deceptive, because the bottom can be seen at a glance, and the refraction of light from a distance can make people mistakenly think that it is shallow in very deep places.

Elephants can swim, and the current here is not fast, so he tried it first. The white horse and the rhinoceros stood on the shore and watched the elephant cross the river, fortunately, the deepest part was just up to the elephant's belly, the white horse raised his head and could wade through, and the rhinoceros had no problem floating on the water, so they crossed the river together.

Together, they walked up the hillside on the other side of the river, which is a hilly area, and the hills range from tens of meters to more than 100 meters high. The vegetation is very lush, mostly dead and yellow in winter, but there are some evergreen plants, such as tall cedars, and clumps of shrubs with small green round leaves.

Over two hills, the terrain rises higher, and in front of it is a flat slope with a patch of soft grass under a lone tree. The meadow looks and feels very pleasant, and the leaves of the grass are pale white, dense and soft in the dry winter leaves.

This big tree is also very beautiful, the thick trunk is slightly curved like a dragon piercing into the earth, the crown is like a dragon's tail thrown off, and it still retains its verdant color in winter, palm-sized palm-shaped leaves like patches of jasper.

In the white soft grass under the tree, a big creature was crawling and sleeping, snoring like thunder. They heard this strange sound across a small hill, and inexplicably felt a very shocking coercion, if they hadn't remained awake, they would have been frightened away like the group of sparrows, and only when they got closer, it turned out that this guy was snoring.

Shang Ni was also stunned, no longer chattering, but whispered, "Is this Mr. Zhuang?"

The rhinoceros was stunned and said, "This, this, this seems to be a unicorn!"

As soon as he reminded him, everyone recognized that it was a unicorn, which seemed to be slightly different from the appearance in myths and legends. The legendary unicorn is said to have a lion's head, an elk body, a tiger's eyes, a dragon's tail, a horse's hooves, and meat horns, as well as dragon scales. The so-called meat horn is the meat on the horn, not the hard horn like cattle and sheep, a bit like the tender deer antler velvet that has just grown.

But there are no scales on the body of this unicorn, the reddish hair with golden light is very beautiful, as if it has been specially organized, and the wisps are slightly curled, just like the bun of many stone lion statues, and it really looks like dragon scales from a distance. The mane that fell from the back of its head to its neck was snow-white, and it looked very powerful, but at the moment it was lying there and sleeping with its eyes closed.

Is this a unicorn, no one has ever seen a real unicorn, and they looked at each other for a while. Shang Ni was the most joyful dancer, but at this moment, she was worried: "Is this Mr. Zhuang?"

Egret: "Wake it up and ask?"

Shanque: "If it's not Mr. Zhuang, it's a local, and it's woken up, we won't be unlucky?"

If everyone was really just a white horse, a white egret, and a mountain magpie, in front of such a legendary beast, it is estimated that they would have been scared away, and even elephants and rhinoceros would probably not stay here, but they knew who they were, so they could stand here and speak.

Bai Ma shook his head and said: "Listen to the meaning of those sparrows, this big monster has just arrived, it should be Mr. Zhuang, and I am even more sure when I see it sleeping here." Mr. Zhuang usually likes to sleep lazy, but he definitely didn't sleep well the night before, and he didn't sleep tonight, and he dozed off as soon as he came in. ”

Shan Que shouted: "Mr. Zhuang, wake up! We have been looking for you for a long time, why did you run here and fall asleep?"

The unicorn slept so soundly that he still snored like thunder, and he didn't pay attention to it at all. The magpie picked up a stone and flew to the tree and threw it at the unicorn's head. The unicorn seemed to sense something, moved his body, and smacked his lips in his sleep, but the stone was not hit. Ding Qi glanced at everyone and said, "Let's wake it up together." ”

Egrets, white horses, rhinos, and elephants shout in unison, and the howls, long chirps, and neighs are intertwined, either high-pitched or low-pitched. This movement is not small, and the magpie is unsteady on its feet, and it glides down from the tree. The unicorn was also taken aback, raised his head and opened his eyes, and said, "Who?

Shanque: "Mr. Zhuang, it's really you! Hey, how can you speak human language?"

After everyone entered the beast country, they turned into different beasts, and the voices of various beasts came out, and the way of communication was direct spiritual induction, and the content contained both verbal and non-verbal information. One of the most important differences between humans and animals, and even between adults and infants, is whether or not they have mastered language.

Language represents an abstract, indirect, referential, and logical way of thinking, and is a sign of intellectual maturity.

For example, if someone wants to talk about a stone, when she expresses this thing, she can think of the appearance of a stone in her mind, containing its texture, and here she can convey this idea directly to the other person.

However, in the outside world, it is impossible to directly convey ideas, and it is very difficult and sometimes impossible to show the other person a stone to make the other person understand what he means.

But if you have mastered the language and mastered the meaning of things, you only need to say "stone", which is both accurate and concise. This is beyond instinct and the basis for the transmission of knowledge.

There is a phenomenon that human beings cannot retain the memory before the age of three, and experts in different disciplines have put forward various explanations, but the real reason is very simple. It's not that human beings can't keep the memories before the age of three, or more precisely, they can't keep the memories before mastering the language, because the inner way of thinking and the way of communicating with the outside world has completely changed, and the so-called three years old is just a virtual finger.

The role of language is far more magical than ordinary people think, it is not only a way to communicate information, but also a way to summarize and describe everything in the world and the laws and relationships between them.

Ding Qi and the others could not speak when they entered the beast country, only the neighing of horses and the chirping of birds, but they could also use language to communicate, which was reflected in the thought process. For example, Ding Qi can say a sentence to make the other party feel his thoughts, and the other party translates them into a language he is familiar with based on his understanding of the ideas.

This kind of communication must have the ability to use language, to be able to "translate" complex thoughts into a language in the mind, and it is not important whether the other person speaks a foreign language, such as English or French. Ding Qi and the others all speak Chinese, so there is no barrier to communicating with each other.

In another case, if the other party does not have the ability to master complex language at all, then this method of communication is ineffective, even if it contains the spiritual idea of the language, it is useless, and can only convey various intuitive ideas, and the information exchanged is greatly limited.

And this unicorn is good, it does not roar, but speaks in Chinese, and listens to the accent is Zhuang Mengzhou.

One of the differences between a tiger and a cat is the ratio of the eyes to the head, the cat's eyes appear large, while the tiger's eyes appear smaller compared to the head. The Qilin glared at the beasts one by one with a pair of tiger eyes, and laughed: "I am the Qilin, the legendary beast! ”

Shanny sneered, "Didn't you hear what those sparrows said just now, you're a big monster too." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "That's because they don't have knowledge, do you want to be like them?"

Ding Qi finally couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhuang, I've seen stinky farts, but I've never seen you so narcissistic!"

Qilin glared again: "Teacher Ding, what do you mean?"

Ding Qi hurriedly explained: "Oh, that's what I thought in my heart, but I didn't expect to say it directly." Under normal circumstances, Ding Qi might have spoken more tactfully, but here is a direct exchange of spiritual thoughts, and what Zhuang Mengzhou heard was his true expression.

The elephant laughed and said, "Did you accidentally tell the truth?" Mr. Zhuang didn't want to become a unicorn himself, but manifested as a unicorn in this world...... Actually, Mr. Zhuang, you look really rosin enough. "In the Jinghu dialect, rosin is about equal to the meaning of stinky beauty.

Kirin: "If you can't speak, don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb elephant." ”

The rhinoceros also spoke: "I am not a rhinoceros, and Lao Zhu is not an elephant, we are ourselves." Maybe in the eyes of the will of this world, Mr. Zhuang is more stinky and beautiful...... No, no, no, you're a mighty unicorn. ”

Kirin: "You might as well not praise me." ”

The egret also said: "Mr. Zhuang, it's not that I don't want to talk about you, but I don't dare to talk about you. ”

Qilin raised one of his front hooves and waved his hand: "Then needless to say, let's talk about something else, what do you have now?"

Shanque: "We didn't show anything else, but a unicorn slept and snored here, which scared all the birds and beasts in the mountain away." ”

Kirin: "Don't you know what kind of world this is?"

Rhinoceros: "That's there, and I've felt it myself." Mr. Zhuang, what have you found again?"

"I really had a strange place. As he spoke, the unicorn kicked the tree next to him, and everyone let out an exclamation.

Looking forward through this flat slope, the scenery in front of it suddenly changed, as if opening an invisible curtain, looking at a piece of peaks and mountains, high clouds and mist, faintly the outline of pavilions, but not real.

Shan Que exclaimed, "Mr. Zhuang, how did you get it?"

Kirin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know what's going on, it's just a kick, well, it should be said to be a slap." ”

The white horse nodded solemnly and said: "Your foot is in the middle of the place, and I have also sensed it, as if there is a place here that is hidden, and it should be the place where someone once sacrificed the beast talisman." ”

The egret asked, "Did you sense it through the beast charm?"

White Horse: "Yes, if Mr. Zhuang hadn't kicked this kick, when I came back to my senses, I would have tried to urge the beast talisman to make it appear." ”

Qilin: "It seems that we can compare this place to the Great Red Mountain, doesn't Xiao Tingting live in the Great Red Mountain? The Great Red Mountain is equivalent to the yard of her family, and her family still has a house." We were equivalent to entering the hospital, but now we are opening the door. ”

The elephant looked at the misty place in the heights, and seemed to say to himself, "Could it be the legendary Jinshan Temple?"

The rhinoceros nodded and said, "It's very likely, it seems that the legend is really based on it!"

Shanque: "Let's go over and have a look." ”

The crowd crossed the high slope with white grass and came to the foot of the mountain, and Shanny, who had been jumping and walking in front, suddenly spread her wings and stopped, and said, "Stop, stop, don't go any further." Don't walk into this mountain, there is a large array of wind gates and mountains in front of you!"

Everyone stopped when they heard this, and asked in unison, "What's the matter, what kind of formation is this?"

Shanny explained, "I can't see through this formation either, but I can sense it and recognize it. If you go straight in, you will definitely get lost, and it's okay to turn around and turn out, but you may be trapped in it and never get out. My master said that the Fengmen Mountains and Rivers Great Array, but I didn't expect to meet such a clever ......."

After all, Shang Ni is the heir of the Jianghu Fengmen, and she said that there is a big array ahead, so she can't be wrong. The so-called Fengmen Landscape Array, which is made up of the transfer of earth qi and spiritual center, can be explained in a way that ordinary people can understand, and the easiest way to enter it is to affect people's senses and make people unable to find the right direction, and maybe they will be trapped forever.

Qilin turned his head again and asked, "Teacher Ding, you have the treasure of controlling the realm, can you break this big array?"

Ding Qi pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "I almost didn't see it, Senior Sister Shang Ni reminded me before I became alert. The hill in front of you seems simple, but after you enter it, it actually hides thousands of rocks and ravines, and if you can't fully refine the beast talisman and control its wonderful use, you can't break this array. ”

Xian Hao asked, "What if you fly from the sky?"

Ding Qi still shook his head and said, "Whether you walk from the ground or fly from the sky, the result is the same, the sky you see is not the real sky. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou sighed and said, "It seems that Teacher Ding's cultivation is not enough, we can't get to the mountain today, and I don't know if it's the legendary Jinshan Academy?"

Shanque: "Teacher Ding's cultivation is not enough, Mr. Zhuang, what are you doing as a senior?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Don't look at me, I'm here to play the unicorn!"

The rhinoceros mused, "We didn't have time to go up the mountain today, and according to the plan, we had to go out before noon." How to break this big array, let's talk about it later, anyway, we will come back after the year. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "If you can't break it, you can't break it, Teacher Ding has just said the way to break the formation, and when he can do it, the formation will be broken." ”

Egret: "Let's not go into this mountain, let's look elsewhere...... Hey, there's a stone monument over there. ”

Following the tip of the egret's wings, a stone monument was erected at the foot of the hill ten zhang away on the right, and the surface of the monument was a whole piece of mountain stone protruding from the surface of the earth, and something seemed to be carved on it. But when I got closer and looked closely, the stone surface was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no handwriting at all, just some strange and complex lines, like the texture of the rock itself.

The white horse snorted, and the beast charm appeared in front of it as if out of thin air, and then the seal flipped towards the stele. The rock lines on the stele seem to come to life, flowing and changing, and at the same time, everyone has received a piece of information in their minds, and its content is actually a text.
