Some people may often hear a saying: "Dogs are very smart, with an IQ equivalent to five-year-old children." This is actually a misunderstanding, and the statement is inaccurate, and even spread rumors.

Not all breeds of dogs are very smart. They choose the smartest breeds and choose the smartest individuals among those breeds. After training, and then use a certain psychological scale to measure their IQ, they can reach the score range of five-year-old children (both dogs and children do not calculate the age coefficient).

There are many types of psychological scales for measuring IQ. Those who can get high scores in animal tests are basically analysis and judgment scales. In this type of test, you can get similar scores to some five-year-old children. Be careful to be "some" rather than all, because there are huge differences between human individuals, and the smartest dog can only reach the lowest score range for ordinary five-year-old children.

If you change to a different scale for testing, such as memory, understanding, abstract, reasoning, or expression, or describing, dogs may have no score at all because it often cannot complete such tests.

A three-year-old child may recite Tang poetry, but a dog will not recite anyway. A trained parrot may recite several poems, but it cannot understand the meaning. In fact, no matter what animal it is, its intelligence and learning ability cannot be compared with that of a child who has mastered language ability, especially learning potential. The differences between species are like an insurmountable gap.

Ding Qi told Tan Hanchuan that the IQ of this sparrow is equivalent to a five- or six-year-old child, which means the scores tested just now, and can almost reach the lowest level of a five- or six-year-old child. This is already quite amazing. A little sparrow has an IQ that has exceeded the smartest and highly trained dog in the world.

It was getting late, Ding Qi asked the elephant to smooth out all the handwriting just now. Of course, horse hooves are not as useful as elephant hooves in such a thing as "wiping the blackboard". Ding Qi wrote the word "sparrow" on the flat ground, and then pointed to these two words and explained to the little sparrow for a long time.

The sound of horses and sparrows intertwined. They talked for a long time, but they didn't know what they were talking about. The sparrow seemed to understand at the end, and looked down at the two words on the ground in a daze. Ding Qi shook his head and said hello, and everyone crossed the river not far away. The dazed sparrow came back to his senses, flew up to the treetops and looked away, with a look of reluctance.

On the way back, Bai Er asked, "What did you teach that little sparrow? Did you let it know the word "sparrow"?"

Baima shook his head and said, "I can't say that I'm aware of words. I just let it understand the meaning of the combination of the two symbols. It is also a test to test its ability to remember and learn complex three-dimensional graphics. If I meet next time, I will ask it to draw symbols representing sparrows. It can still imitate it, which may mean that its intelligence level exceeds the species limit."

Shan Que interrupted, "What does it mean?"

Qilin said: "It's just that the sparrow has become a spirit!"

Shan Que: "Has you become a sperm? Oh my God, there are really animals that can become a sperm!"

Qilin: "Are you, a magpie, not becoming a sperm?"

Shan Que: "That's different. I was originally a human change."

Qilin: "You are a human being, and you haven't changed, you just pretend to be a magpie."

Bai Er ignored the quarrel and asked Bai Ma again: "Aren't Chinese characters two-dimensional graphics? Why do you say they are three-dimensional?"

Baima explained: "Chinese characters are a combination of two-dimensional figures. Two-dimensional strokes are combined into different Chinese characters through different ways, and then they have meanings, such as "tian" and "fu". The recognition method of Chinese characters with meanings is three-dimensional. Moreover, Chinese characters have another characteristic, and different Chinese characters are combined in a secondary manner to form more complex words.

For example, the three words washing, washing, and machine form a word, referring to a machine created by humans. If you change the middle word, it can also be a dishwasher or another machine, which is easy for people who master Chinese to understand. New things that have never appeared before can be easily summarized and summarized. So from the perspective of how to use, Chinese characters are even four-dimensional.

The little sparrow can't fully understand what the word "sparrow" is now, because it has not mastered the Chinese font system and has not undergone this kind of thinking training. But as long as it can remember this complex three-dimensional symbol combination and knows that it represents a certain thing, it will become a spirit."

Rhino smiled and said, "A little sparrow who has become a sperm must meet a psychological expert like Teacher Ding to have the chance to perform."

Qilin praised: "Teacher Ding is not an ordinary psychologist, he is the pioneer of Fangwai's secret technique."

Shan Que also came over and said, "Since Teacher Ding is so interested in that sparrow, why not take it out for a good study?"

The rhino said, "You want to take it out for fun, right? You can't do it randomly! I forgot what happened when you first entered Xiaojing Lake? A sudden emergency and high fever did not go away, and I almost lost my life. Fortunately, I had the immortal bait, the medicine Yueqing fat, to save my life. Teacher Ding is also the same symptom as you, and the onset time is about three hours after entering Xiaojing Lake.

This situation may occur if two worlds that have been isolated for a long time when they suddenly pass through. The same is true for bringing out the creatures here. If they are not done properly, they will kill the sparrow."

Shanque asked: "How long does it take to get to Xiaojing Lake from here? Will it take three hours?"

Rhino: "Three hours are not enough, and even if it is enough, you cannot try it easily. Sparrows have different physiques from humans. It is hard to say whether they can last for three hours. Even if they can persist, it is also hard to say what the effect of the moon deltoid is like."

Ding Qi added: "The physical differences between people are also very different. For example, the first time I entered Xiaojing Lake, Senior Brother Tan, you are all fine, it was just that Xiao Nizi and I fell ill."

Rhino: "You have not yet learned your body refining skills. Just observe that there should be no problem after breaking through the second realm. So if you want to bring the little sparrow out safely, there are two prerequisites. Either we can take the moon degreaser out of the outside world and bring it here, or the little sparrow can break through the second realm of cultivation by itself."

Shan Que: "Does that little sparrow have such great ability?"

Rhino: "I've become a sperm, everything is possible."

The egret pondered: "So is there another possibility that the sparrow is not a sparrow. It is just a person who accidentally entered the beast country, but turned into a sparrow and lost himself?"

Baima thought, "I have thought about this problem, so I have done so many tests for it. The main purpose is to awaken its self-awareness. The next stage of the experiment is to test whether it already has self-awareness? If so, it will realize who it is..."

Qilin sighed: "Teacher Ding is still professional! But you should also be more at ease. Don't mess with the little sparrow. It's not easy for others to become a sperm."

While speaking, we had already arrived at the gate of the Beast Kingdom. Looking around, we saw an empty snow field, without any identifiable obvious signs. If it weren't for the snow that could leave footprints, it would be difficult for Ding Qi and Xian Hao to find them back for the first time.

Ding Qi has practiced the secret method of the outside world to the Heart Pan realm. He will not forget the path he has walked. Even if there is no sign of discrimination, he will only be careful to condense the Heart Pan and will find his original space position. But just when Ding Qi first came in, he was short-term self-conscious because of unknown conditions.

This time Ding Qi did not use the beast talisman. Everyone used Jing Wenshi to open the door, but Baima stood there without moving, and suddenly said, "You go out first, see you on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!"

Shan Que was stunned: "Does Teacher Ding stay here for the New Year?"

Ding Qi nodded and said, "Yes, District Mayor Zhu is not at home anyway. It's the same wherever I celebrate the New Year. It's better to stay in the beast country and practice hard and continue to sacrifice and refine beast talismans."

Shan Que: "But there is no food here, you have to stay for more than ten days! The things you brought in cannot be summoned. Is it really going to eat grass like a horse?"

Ding Qi smiled: "If you are really hungry, just go out to eat. It is very convenient to go to a nearby village or to a town."

The rhino and the elephant looked at each other with a strange look. Zhu Shan asked Xian: "In less than two weeks, Teacher Ding, with your current cultivation level, can't you fast? "

Ding Qi said in surprise: "Fasting? I have read a short story called "Fasting Life". Can you really fast? "

Zhuang Mengzhou couldn't help but speak, "I have discovered so many foreign worlds, and even the beast kingdom has seen it. What's impossible to fast?"

Ding Qi: "But I haven't learned it, I haven't even thought about it."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's normal if you never think about it. You have wine, meat and enjoyment. Who can fast for a longing if you have nothing to do?"

Ding Qi: "What should I do?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "You can ask Lao Tan that there is a method of fasting in the Fire Gate."

Tan Hanchuan smiled and said, "Actually, there are also Juemen. When practicing to a certain level, eight major sects should be there. Mr. Zhuang's words just now are not completely correct. Fasting is beneficial in specific situations, but it cannot be tried casually, and there are also conditions and requirements. Simply put, it is a cleaning and improvement of intestinal flora, and in complexity, it is even a physical and mental purification..."

Tan Hanchuan taught Ding Qi a set of fasting techniques, and at the same time combined the secret characteristics of the Huomen and Juemen, which was called "Food Qi Method". The literal meaning is to refine the essence and energy of heaven and earth to feed, so as to achieve the effect of not eating grains. However, from the characteristics of the exercises, it is to collect external qi and replenish one's own vitality. If this is a fasting technique, most people may think it is a certain sect of qigong that was circulated in society decades ago.

Traditional fasting, which first originated from fasting, was later summarized by monks into a complete set of methods that include theory and practice, and accompanied by various myths and legends. With a certain sense of ritual that purifies the body and mind, it is different from the pure hunger and not eating. Among ordinary people in ancient times, only nobles who had no worries about food and clothing and did not need to work could afford it.

Fasting does not mean never eating, nor does it mean not eating at all. It mainly means not eating grains. Since it is accompanied by a ritual to purify the body and mind, of course it does not eat meat. A real fasting must meet several conditions. First, it must have a state of mind that purifies one's own mind, rather than just for other purposes such as weight loss, and secondly, it is really not hungry.

What if you are hungry? It’s very simple, then eat it!

The fasting of a monk is a higher level of physical and mental state, and it is also a kind of cultivation. Ding Qi's cultivation of the secret method of the square outside has reached the state of mind, that is, the fifth realm. In the eyes of Tan Hanchuan and Zhu Shanxian, he has been able to fast for a long time. Even ordinary people can fast in the short term if they master reasonable methods.

Fasting is not completely inseparable. First of all, you must drink water. For monks, you can also take some elixirs with particularly pure physical properties. For example, ancient monks often used red dates, poria, polygonatum, and ginseng to make a fasting pill, which is similar to the big hawthorn pill. They eat a few pills every day during fasting.

There is another joke about fasting pills. In ancient times, a great monk in a certain place claimed that he had a deep cultivation and could not eat grains. Some officials and wealthy men often welcomed him into their homes and set up small pavilions to worship him. He observed how he fasted and practiced. Sure enough, he only drank clear water every day and was safe for more than a month. Everyone in the distance praised him as a Taoist monk and gave him money.

The monk secretly raised a pink head outside the temple and often stayed at the pink head house at night. One day, the monk probably died of sudden illness because he was too busy. The matter could not be hidden. After it spread, everyone was stunned. Later, the monk next to the monk revealed the secret of his so-called fasting.

It turns out that every time the monk fasted, he wore a string of large rosary beads, just like the one worn by the monk sand on the stage, but the rosary beads disappeared after the rosary. In fact, these "rosary beads" are made of air-dried beef, and they are made of fine salt and tea powder. It is really hungry to eat a few rosary every day, and can also replenish electrolytes and vitamins.

As for adding sugar to the water you drink, adding milk to the tea soup, and other cheating methods, those who do this are all cheating and cheating people, and these are actually methods of the world.

Tan Hanchuan taught Ding Qi's fasting technique, and the teaching process was quite interesting. He interspersed with the story of a monk eating beef balls, which made everyone laugh. He finally said to Ding Qi: "Teacher Ding can try practicing fasting technique. As for whether you can enter the country, you are completely clear about it. The main thing is that you have sufficient energy and pure body and mind."

The biggest difference between monks with foundation and ordinary people fasting is their impact on daily life. Ordinary people should pay attention to avoiding intense activities when fasting, but monks are not affected by this and persist for a longer time. As for how long they can last, it depends on actual needs or foundation of cultivation.

After teaching the technique of fasting, Tan Hanchuan and others said goodbye and wanted to leave, but Bai Er stood on the horse's back and didn't move, looking very unhappy. But Shang Ni, the one who was not looking at her, turned around and asked, "Sister Xian, do you want to stay here for the New Year?"

Xian Hao said: "Of course I can stay here too, Ding Qi, don't you?"

Ding Qi quickly said, "Sister Xian can stay, of course I am very happy. Actually, I just wanted to..."

Xian Hao: "It's too late!"

Ding Qi: "I'm telling the truth."

The egret raised his head and said to the sky: "Of course I know, you can't lie here."

Shan Que waved his wings and said, "Then you can fast together. See you on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year!" After saying that, he turned around and left, and his emotions seemed to be a little depressed. Maybe he thought of Shi Buquan, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Tan Hanchuan, Zhu Shanxian, Zhuang Mengzhou, Shang Ni left the country of beasts, climbed up to the top of the cliff along the cracks of the rocks, put away the ropes, and disappeared in the mountains behind the cliff with a bag. They walked around a hidden path to Zhangfang Town. When they were about to arrive at the town, Zhu Shanxian suddenly said: "Mr. Zhuang, why haven't you reminded Teacher Ding?"

Zhuang Mengzhou sighed: "Maybe he is such a person. This is the characteristic of Fangwai's secret technique. Because of this, he can create Fangwai's secret technique and comprehend the layers of realms."

This is a bit inexplicable, and only they can understand it themselves. What does it mean? Ding Qi's current cultivation of secret techniques has reached the Heart Pan realm. Different cultivation inheritances, their cultivation methods and pursuits are different, but their cultivation level can be referenced by each other. In other words, Ding Qi's cultivation has reached the so-called five realms, which is higher than Tan Hanchuan and others.

According to many classics that have been passed down since ancient times, the five realm cultivation has already possessed magical powers and can cast various magical powers, and it is not surprising that fasting is not surprising, but Ding Qi never thought about these. Apart from using secret techniques outside the square to explore and discover the world outside the square, Ding Qi has never cast any magical powers at all, and he does not even think that he has magical powers that are different from ordinary people.

Ding Qi had already understood and mastered the weapon refining. He had refined the magic weapon Jingwenshi, otherwise he would not have opened the door to Qingao Taichung. However, for him, Jingwenshi was the key to exploring the outside world and the object to entrusting his mind. He did not use it to do anything else, and he seemed to have no idea.

Zhu Shanxian also sighed and said, "We have really met a monk who is smart but does not use it and does not show his supernatural powers. He did not deliberately do this, but he really didn't have a single thought."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "The secret method of the outside world is unprecedented, it is to directly cultivate the mind and be thorough and purify it. If Teacher Ding did not have this state of mind, it would not be possible to create it. Let's follow and see how great his achievements can be?"

Shang Ni: "Teacher Ding is not such a Buddhist person either."

Zhuang Mengzhou smiled again: "Of course he is not Buddhist."

Zhu Shanxian pondered: "Actually, you must not underestimate Teacher Ding. Although he does not seek magical powers, he is not weak to do it. Among us, the most powerful fighter should be Lao Tan... Lao Tan, can you beat Teacher Ding now?"

Tan Hanchuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I'm not an opponent. Think about what Teacher Ding is best at? If he had affected my consciousness as soon as he came up, no matter how strong I was, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to find my goal..."

Qilin: "Mr. Ding himself may not know."

Zhu Shanxian: "When you encounter such a thing, Teacher Ding will naturally know how powerful he is. He has never been a ruthless person. At that time, many people wanted to kill Tian Qi, but he was the only one who really did it."

Shang Ni: "The successors of our eight major sects in the world, why do we think about first using our fists and brains when doing things! In this way, Teacher Ding is indeed very powerful."
