After walking about two kilometers, I finally stopped the boat dozens of meters away from the dock. The island is surrounded by beaches, and there is no place suitable for building a port. If you get off the boat, you will walk on a floating pier.

The so-called floating dock is a waterproof and corrosion-resistant hard shell wrapped in large pieces of foam, tied and connected together, with mats on it to level it, extending dozens of meters from the shore. Several sailors all jumped off the boat with agility and stood steadily on the slightly shaking dock. They set up a gangway to invite guests down, and three people stood on the coast to greet them.

Ma Yuanling greeted, "You can take off the things and transport them up, and I will accompany a few guests to visit."

Finally stepped onto the beach of Jingsha Island, with rolling sand dunes under his feet. Ding Qi reached out to grab a handful of sand and looked carefully and discovered the special thing here. Strictly speaking, these are not sand, but mung bean-sized particles, grayish-white. If you observe under a microscope, the shape of these gravels is irregular, the edges are smoothly ground, and there are many fine holes on the surface.

This gray-white particle is not only distributed on the beach, but also goes far forward, forming a dune landform. Some dunes are even seven or eight meters high. Ma Yuanling smiled and said, "Home Master Ding has noticed something is wrong?"

Tian Zhongluo also smiled and said, "When I first came, I felt very surprised. I heard that Jinshanyuan is a place for trials, and this Jingsha Island is also a place for trials."

Shui Ruo rubbed her temples and said, "You are talking so strange. It's so quiet here!"

The sounds of Tian Zhongluo and Ma Yuanling were strange, and the sounds made by Shui Ruo herself were also very strange. Her voice was originally quite nice, but it seemed very dry at this moment because there was no echo of the environment. The more I climbed the coast, the quieter I felt. When I walked into these sand dunes formed by gray gravel, I couldn't even hear the sound of the waves not far away.

Even the friction sounds caused by stepping on the gray gravel are very weak, but they appear so rough and harsh in a quiet environment. The sound of one's breathing and heartbeat is clearly audible. The vibration sounds caused by the breeze blowing through the ears are very obvious... In other words, in a very quiet environment with almost no echo, the organs will convey various sound signals that are usually ignored to the brain.

Ding Qi said: "It's this kind of gravel. It seems to absorb sound waves and hardly reflects sound."

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

Shui Ruo: "After staying in this environment for a long time, people will have hallucinations or even go crazy."

Ding Qi nodded and said, "Who said it is not, it will lead to auditory hallucinations or even phantoms."

Shui Ruo: "I understand listening hallucination, but what's going on with the feeling of the hallucination?"

Ding Qi explained: "Although people do not directly locate through echo like bats, they also sense things through echo in the subconscious mind. The brain is always receiving various chaotic sound waves in daily life, mostly reflected from the surfaces of various objects. Although they do not pay attention to it deliberately, there is also sensing in the subconscious mind.

For blind people, this kind of sensing is particularly obvious, and it can even train conscious echo positioning. However, in an absolutely quiet environment, the senses will become very uncomfortable because the auditory system cannot detect the existence of things around them, and the subconscious will easily cause illusions. For example, you always feel that there is something around you, but in fact there is nothing..."

Ma Yuanling praised: "I have heard of Teacher Ding's name for a long time, and I am worthy of being an expert!"

Shuiruo: "After you say this, I always feel like something is following behind me."

Tian Zhongluo smiled again and said, "Then let's go ahead, let's protect you from behind."

Ding Qi: "Ma Island Master, how large is the distribution range of this gray gravel zone?"

Ma Yuanling: "There are all around the island, and the width is about one kilometer. It takes more than ten minutes to walk through it. It feels much better when you get to the mountain."

Keep moving forward and come to a place surrounded by sand dunes on all sides. There is not even wind here. The silence is almost at its peak. Ding Qi actually saw several houses. These houses are made of adhesives to mold the gray gravel from the place as materials. He wondered: "Ma Island Lord, you have built a few simple houses here, either for torture or for cultivation, right?"

Ma Yuanling was slightly stunned and nodded, "The Lord Ding has good eyesight and has seen that these quiet rooms are indeed a place to practice. The secret method of Jingsha Island inheritance is easier to get started with the help of this environment. But on the other hand, it is indeed a kind of torture, similar to being punished. This is how I came here back then."

Ding Qi: "If I guess well, Jingsha Island has at least one of the secret techniques of the eight major sects of Jianghu, which is the technique of observing the body of the Impotence."

Ma Yuanling was really surprised this time and looked at Ding Qi in surprise. After several seconds, he asked back: "Is Master Ding proficient in observing the body?"

Ding Qi smiled: "I dare not say that I am proficient, but I have dealt with the successor of the Izo Sect and have also been in contact with the inheritance of the body-observing technique."

Tian Zhongluo interrupted, "So which secret technique is inherited from the eight sects that Jinshan Academy has? "

Ding Qi: "It should be the Juemen Qi-seeing technique."

Tian Zhongluo wondered: "What should be Juemen Qi-seeking Technique? Is it possible, right?"

Ding Qi: "I am different from you. It is the inheritance I received later and I don't have a good understanding of history."

Ma Yuanling: "Oh, how did you get the Jinshanyuan inheritance?"

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

Ma Yuanling smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm wronged and I shouldn't ask some things! I walked out ahead and felt that I didn't feel so uncomfortable."

How did Ding Qi know that Jingsha Island has the inheritance of the art of seeing the body in the Imperial Gate? He had previously guessed that the secret techniques of each family's outer world are related to the secret techniques of the Eight Gates of the Jianghu Lake, and at least one of them was passed down. Secondly, he met Chen Rong in the Qingaotai world, heard him introduce the inheritance of the alchemy of the doctor, and also saw the medical classics left by Tao Hongjing, which contained the content of the art of seeing the body in the Imperial Gate.

From this we infer that the secret method of inheritance in the outer world of Qin Gaotai is also related to the technique of observing the body. Although Tao Xin did not hand over the inheritance of the secret realm of heaven and earth and the treasure of the control world to Ding Qi. Ding Qi now knows that practicing observing the body must first be able to enter tranquility. Entering tranquility is also a kind of entry, but it has its own unique requirements and emphasizes the state of extreme tranquility.

The physical and mental state of extreme tranquility is difficult to achieve, which blocks most people's possibility of getting started with cultivation. There are many ways to practice, the most typical one is "hearing behind the curtain". The so-called curtain is not only to lower the eyes, but to be free from any disturbance from the outside world in a quiet environment, until it can cut off the external conditions and block ordinary senses and not accept any external information.

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

So Ding Qi found that there were such magical gravel on the island, and some people used this gravel to build a quiet room in the sand dunes. The island owner practiced the secret technique in such a quiet room. Ding Qi guessed that he was practicing the ill-god body-viewing technique.

Of course, it is not suitable for in-depth discussions on topics involving the secrets of various inheritances. As they spoke, the terrain gradually grew higher and everyone had already walked out of the distribution of gray sand dunes. They felt much more comfortable, and at least their hearing returned to normal. The heights of Jingsha Island were covered with vegetation, and coconut trees grew in the areas close to the sand dunes. Ding Qi saw at least three different types of coconuts, and upwards were various mixed trees.

From afar, Jingsha Island has three mountain tips, one low and two high forms camels. The lower mountain top exceeds the sea level and the two high mountain tops are about 200 meters high and the higher mountain tops are all about 200 meters. The owner of Ma Island brought three guests to the valley between the high and low mountain tops. There is a row of houses and a two-story building here, which should have been built by transporting materials from outside.

This is a sheltering place, and there is a spring and a small small pool next to the open space. There is actually a freshwater source on this island, which is quite rare, but if there is too much population, such a little freshwater is obviously not enough, so freshwater needs to be replenished from outside and other daily necessities.

There is a very tall tree growing by the pool, which is at least 30 meters tall, with fruits the size of winter melon hanging on it. The largest fruit weighs almost hundreds of kilograms. This is jackfruit. Ding Qi has seen jackfruit in the supermarket, but this is the first time he has seen it growing on a tree.

There is such a spring on the island, as well as this jackfruit and coconuts, which should ensure the most basic survival, but the conditions will never be very good. The island owner introduced: "We have arrived at the place. The island's personnel station is here. It is too far from the land. All kinds of supplies have to be transported by ship. Moreover, too large ships cannot be driven in, so the conditions are very simple. Please forgive me."

Shui Ruo looked around and said, "This place is so good. It is a base like this on an overseas island, and it is a world outside. It is really not easy for the ancestors of the Ma Island Lord!"

At this time, the roar of motors was heard again, and two four-wheeled ATVs drove into the base. They walked through the beach from another easy-to-go road and needed several times to transport the supplies brought on the boat here.

After I finished my work, I settled down and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and I ate lunch and dinner. Someone made island specialty coconut rice, and of course the fruit was jackfruit. These things were delicious, but they were just too sweet. Ding Qi was not used to it. Fortunately, there were other dishes, and the cooking skills were quite good.

The most important main dish during the meal made Ding Qi and others praise it. It is the coconut crab, a specialty of tropical islands. Adult coconut crabs are the size of basin, and strong claws can be used to pick up coconuts and eat coconut meat. Their own meat is also very delicious. Coconut crabs are now a rare animal and rarely eaten. There are such crabs on Jingsha Island.

Jingsha Island is about six kilometers long from north to south and four kilometers wide from east to west. If the gray dunes are removed, there are places where vegetation grows are about four kilometers long from north to south and about two kilometers wide from east to west. It is not big or small. There are enough coconut forests for coconut crabs to reproduce. However, this kind of delicacy cannot be caught at will, otherwise it will be eaten soon. Today, it was a distinguished guest who came to visit and specially caught one to try it.

For island tours, you usually have to have a beach barbecue after eating the main course, but forget about the beach here, and the oven, meat skewers, seasonings, and beer are all brought along with the boat. The drinks are coconut juice, so everyone was having a good time. When the night was resting, the three distinguished guests each divided a separate room. The furnishings were very simple but clean.

Ding Qi looked at it and found that the kitchen and public bathroom were not counted. There were eight houses here to live. There were nine sailors who came on the same boat with the Lord of Ma Island, and three people were still stationed on the island. The Lord of Ma Island lived in one house by himself, and each of the three guests had one house for each of them. The remaining twelve people had to squeeze in another five houses. The conditions were indeed very hard.

As for whether there are other hidden residences on the island and whether there are still garrisons who have not appeared, Ding Qi is not sure. His spiritual sense is far from covering the entire island, and due to interference from mountains and dense forests, the scope of exploration is even more limited.

During the break, Ding Qi made an unexpected request. He did not want to live in a house on the mountain, but wanted to experience it in the quiet room of the sand dune that he saw when he was on the island.

Ma Yuanling smiled bitterly and said, "Master Ding, I know you are curious. Just experience it for a little while. You can't live the whole night. If you have a little longer, it's simply torture. Being able to persist for more than half an hour is considered a nerve tense. I can accompany you and wait for you outside for a while, and then we'll come back and rest."

Ding Qi: "No need to be so troublesome. I remember the road, just go down the mountain by myself. If I really can't stand it, then come back by myself, it's not far anyway."

After all, Ma Yuanling was still worried. He personally took the flashlight and sent Ding Qi down the mountain. He came to the house surrounded by sand dunes. He handed the flashlight to Ding Qi and said, "You can hold this. If you really can't stand it, go up the mountain and go back to rest by yourself. There is no danger on this island unless you deliberately tease the coconut crab and get caught..."

Ding Qi picked up a room and sat down. There was no furnishings in the room, not to mention tables and chairs, not even a cushion. The ground was still covered with fine grit. Sitting cross-legged, unable to hear any sound, except for the movements of his own body organs. There were no lights in the room, and nothing could be seen in the dark, unless the spiritual sense was used to sense it.

Ding Qi constrained his spiritual sense, only looking inward but not outward. He felt that he was not living in the house, but in the wilderness. If he could not still feel the existence of the gravel under him, it would be like floating in the void with nothing... As the state of concentration deepened, Ding Qi's touch outside his body was restrained, and he felt like he was in the void.

Ding Qi is practicing the body-observing technique, and his cultivation has already broken through the six realms. Now he is just experiencing and practicing another secret technique. Ding Qi has been exposed to the eight secret techniques of the Jianghu, such as the introductory technique of the Book of the Gate explained by Shi Buquan, the Fire Gate Furnace and Cauldron Technique explained by Tan Hanchuan, the Jue Gate Qi-Viewing technique explained by Zhu Shanxian, the Piaomen Yin E technique explained by Xian Hao, the Fengmen Heart Pan technique explained by Shang Ni, and the Jingmen Lingxi technique explained by Zhuang Mengzhou.

Except for the Jingmen Lingxi Technique, he could only rely on comprehension. Ding Qi, the other secret techniques, has obtained the true teachings, but when he founded the Fangwei secret technique, he still lacked two inheritances, namely, the Mongol-Starting Divine Art and the Imperial Gate Body Observation Technique.

Ding Qi later had a personal experience of the art of Bosnap and training, because many of the requirements were related to his profession. The art of seeing the body in the iron gate was the last link he lacked, but it was also considered to be a complete set of knowledge in the world of Qin Gaotai.

The secret method created by Ding Qi is called the first step to get started with the secret method of the external secret method. The realm of the body requires practicing the "heart book" and "heart world", which is to build an inner spiritual world. Only when a person becomes one world can he place his mind and condense the stone of the scenery, and then sense another world.

The emphasis of the technique of observing the body is to cut off the external conditions and sense oneself. When the world outside the body disappears, the human being itself is an independent world. On this basis, it will sense external objects, practice the interaction between heaven and man, and ultimately the unity of heaven and man. Therefore, the technique of observing the body is very important. Ding Qi named the first level of the secret method of the outside world the realm of the body, which is not without reason.

At this moment, sitting upright in the quiet room of the sand dune, Ding Qi quickly realized the state of extreme tranquility, feeling the movement of the internal organs, qi and blood, as if he could clearly see it. He himself turned into an independent world, with its rules of operation, and this world is conscious...

The owner of Mayuan Ling did not walk far away. He could see the locations of these rooms while sitting on the top of a sand dune. While listening to music with headphones, he looked 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, most people stayed inside for half an hour at most, and the limit was no more than forty-five minutes. It was already more than half an hour, Mayuan Ling couldn't help but look admiring.

But after waiting, his expression became more and more shocked and suspicious, because before he knew it, it had been more than two hours, and his phone had been playing music all the time, and Ding Qi hadn't come out yet! At this time, Ma Yuanling's expression was shocked again. He noticed the movement in the room, not hearing it, but sensing it with his spiritual sense.

Ding Qi no longer sat upright, but instead lay down on his back with his legs open, his body arched in the sand, as if he had found the most comfortable position.

Does Ding Qi want to sleep here? Although a quiet environment helps sleep, quietness and extreme tranquility are completely different concepts. People cannot sleep at all in extreme tranquility! In fact, Ding Qi did not sleep either, he just changed his posture to practice. Ma Yuanling looked at the quiet room in the dark, and his eyes showed a deep look of fear.

At sunrise the next day, the scenery on the island was beautiful. Ding Qi returned to the mountains with a flashlight, full of energy and radiant appearance. Although the practice of this night could not make the level of the secret technique of the Fangwai, the foundation was more solid. Looking at Ma Yuanling again, she seemed to have not had a good sleep last night and looked a little tired. She yawned several times while having breakfast.
