Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 305, No.5 Valley
lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!
The map is deliberately packed in a ebony box with a flannel pad underneath it. It is only half the size of A4 paper, and it is kept intact. The picture shows mountains, rivers, and several place names. A red dot is dotted with cinnabar in the middle, but there is no text beside the red dot.
According to the textual research of Piaohuatantan, the master Huazhaoqi, there should be the northern part of Shennongjia. Whether it is to verify the ancient place names above or to compare with today's satellite maps, the basic situation is consistent.
Ding Qi has a master here. He asked Shi Buquan to take a closer look at this picture. Shi Buquan believes that this is indeed the original Song Dynasty antiquities, and he did not fake it. But just looking at this picture doesn’t tell anything. It’s just an ordinary map. The cinnabar red dot was clicked on later, and I don’t understand what it means.
Why does Hua Zhaoqi think that the red dot is the location of Xiaoyang Country? Because this map was sandwiched in a handbook left by the ancestor, the page in the handbook happened to mention Xiaoyang Country.
Ding Qi did not get the original manuscript, but Piaohuatan provided a high-definition photocopy. There is indeed a sentence on it: "Lufangshan is raining at night, feeling the country of Xiaoyang, man is beast, beast is man?"
After reading this, Shi Buquan frowned and said: "How do I feel that this should be the country of beasts, don't forget that the country of beasts is also in Fangshan."
Fangshan is a place name, but ancient place names are often repeated. The location of the Animal Kingdom is in Fangshan District outside of Beijing. It was also called Fangshan in ancient times. Interestingly, the ruins of Zhoukoudian Ape Man and Shanding Caveman are also there.
This sentence can be completely interpreted from another angle, that is, the Patriarch of Piaohuatan knows the existence of the animal kingdom, and it rains at night when passing by Fangshan, thinking that when people enter the animal kingdom, they will be transformed into beasts. I can’t help but sigh. Fan, quoting the allusion of Xiaoyang Kingdom in the legend.
But because there is an ancient map in this page of the manuscript, and a red dot on the ancient map, it is easy to think of another possibility.
Fangxian County in Hubei was called Fangling County in ancient times. Fangshan can also refer to the mountains and plains in Fangling County. This name was used in "Fangxian Chronicles", and the existence of "Mao People" was clearly mentioned.
There is no contradiction between Piaohuatan and Ding Qi. It is said that there is no need to deliberately forge such a thing to mislead anyone, and they have not determined that the red dot in the picture is the location of Xiaoyang State, let alone Said Xiaoyang Kingdom was an outside world, only that a clue that was suspected to be another outside world was found.
After this material is submitted to the headquarters of the Alliance outside the party, there are other materials as supporting evidence. For example, the ancestor of Wuxingu also left a paragraph of text, and Ye Zongqing provided a high-resolution photocopy, which read: "The ancestor once talked with the master Lu Yudong about the secret of the world. If the door is locked and the door is lost, although How is it different from Xiaoyang Country?"
The information provided by Ye Zongqing has no problems. From this record, we can see that Lu Yudong and Piaohuatan had exchanges in ancient times. This text is a record of what our ancestors said.
One of the ancestors of Five Heart Valley once sighed when communicating with the Lord Lu Yudong at that time, if he blindly lived in the secret realm of the outer world, one day the inheritance was broken or the door was completely closed, then those living in the secret realm Humans are almost equal to the legendary wild men who drink blood.
This transcript also has a background. At that time, the people of Canggu Village moved into Wuxin Valley in a large scale. They did not intend to temporarily escape the war, but planned to settle in it. It seems that the patriarch of Wuxingu also realized that this situation may cause some problems in the future, and was worried and sighed.
Looking at this passage alone cannot prove the existence of Xiaoyang Kingdom, nor can it prove that Xiaoyang Kingdom is a prescription outside world. It is entirely possible that the patriarch of Wuxingu had read the legend of Xiaoyang Kingdom, and it was just a paragraph. Allusions are quoted.
Lu Yudong provided another note left by his ancestor, which read: "In ancient times, there was a country of Xiaoyang, where the Chinese people had physical exercises and lived in caves, but now they are invisible. It is also a secret realm of heaven and earth. Huh?"
This paragraph actually doesn’t explain any problems. It just mentions the legend of Xiaoyang Kingdom since ancient times, and then guesses whether there is also a prescription outside world, in which there are hairy people living, and the hairy people people see are from Fang I accidentally ran out from the outside world. As the master of the secret realm of a side of heaven and earth, he is interested in such legends, and it is normal to make such guesses.
As for Jingsha Island, it was once a fishing village where life was almost overwhelming. Of course, there are no ancient classics handed down. The news provided by Ma Yuanling was that he remembered that when he was very young, he seemed to have heard his grandfather say that there is a Xiaoyang country in the Three Gorges area, which is also a world outside the world, and the people living in it are all isolated savages.
Ma Yuanling's remarks can be heard, but they can't be true. "I remember I heard my grandfather say it when I was young." This kind of excuse is simply impossible to prove. Who knows whether his grandpa actually said it or hypothesized it, or if he made it up by himself, it is possible to remember it wrong, anyway, he can't come up with anything. The evidence comes.
But Piaohuatan, Luyudong, and Wuxingu all provided relevant information, and their ancestors have left records about Xiaoyang Country, especially Wuxingu is really cooperating with the foreign alliance to find new Clues to the secret world. What needs to be emphasized is that Piaohuatan first took out the records and maps, and the other companies provided their own supporting information.
The information gathered together is an investigation clue that cannot be ignored. As the chairman of the Fangwai Alliance and in charge of the research department, Ding Qi must of course continue to investigate and research.
Zhu Shanxian, the district party secretary, is not in Jinghu City right now. His daughter went to the United States as an exchange student for a year. She just returned to China with her mother this summer, and the university is about to start. Zhu Shanxian took a leave of absence and went to Shanghai to accompany his wife and children. Tan Hanchuan also has work on weekdays. It is said that he has participated in a research project involving national defense and needs to be kept confidential, so he cannot be contacted at present.
Zhejiang University will start a few days later, and Shang Ni has returned to Hangzhou. Zhuang Mengzhou was still in Dali, Yunnan, hiding in the Five Heart Valley, and no one outside could find him. Therefore, only Ding Qi, Xian Hao, and Shi Buquan were the only people who studied these materials in Nantong Community that night.
Shi Buquan concluded: "Only from the perspective of data research, I can't see any problems."
Ding Qi reminded: "Don't always be technical, but also consider the problem from the perspective of routine flow. If there is a problem with this matter, someone is deliberately setting up the situation, where do you think the key is?"
Xian Hao also nodded and said: "Yes, Ah Quan, don't you think it was a coincidence?"
Everyone turned on the computer when they were talking, and there was a map on the screen. Zhangjiajie Scenic Area and Shennongjia Scenic Area were facing each other across the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The Three Gorges area is the place with the most savage legends since ancient times. Qu Yuan also wrote a poem "Mountain Ghost". The so-called coincidence refers to two things discussed at the same time at today's regular work meeting.
Ding Qi will leave for Zhangjiajie tomorrow to conduct a field audit of the newly joined member of the Fangwai Alliance Changcheng Fudi. At this moment, he has obtained these materials. It is a logical thing to go out from Changcheng Fudi to Shennongjia again. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Ding Qi not to be interested in this kind of thing. He would go there himself before the Fangwai Alliance organized an inspection team.
Shi Buquan looked up at Ding Qi and said, "Teacher Ding, will you definitely go to Shennongjia this time?"
Ding Qi nodded and said: "Under normal circumstances, I will definitely go, and you are not ignorant of me."
Shi Buquan: "This matter may or may not be a problem. The key is actually the map. Neither the map nor the manuscript is fake, but people may lie. Find an ancient map of Shennongjia, Then it was said that it was sandwiched in the page of the Patriarch’s handwriting, and it became a clear clue."
Ding Qi groaned: "Let’s follow the plan. I don’t want to have any problems, but if someone really wants to target me, it’s not a matter to wait every day. Since the opponent has set up a game, then take the initiative to let them jump. Come out."
Shi Buquan: "I will go too."
Ding Qi shook his head and said: "In that kind of place, it is impossible to enter too many people. We have enough manpower. You can stay at the headquarters of the foreign alliance and observe the movement. You are the staff of the headquarters, if Suddenly disappeared, but made the other side vigilant.
Piaohuatan’s move may be okay, and the information provided by each company may also be okay. But the problem is just like what Ah Quan just said. If someone knows about this, they can guess that I will definitely go there. "
Shi Buquan: "I hope we think too much, and it's okay. Maybe we can really find a new outside world."
Xian Hao said with a cold face: "Those who want to make a move will do it sooner or later, it is better for us to take the initiative."
Because there is no direct flight from Jinghu to Zhangjiajie Airport, Ding Qi and Ma Xiao departed from Jinghu the next day and went to Nanjing by car. The headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance also purchased office vehicles in the name of the Research Association, and it was Li Zhiyao who drove them. Ma Xiao was able to perform such a task, and he was on a business trip with Ding Qi, feeling very excited.
The two arrived in Zhangjiajie from Nanjing, and Ma Xiao always followed Ding Qi closely, and his expressions were a bit coquettish and shy. Ding Qi was somewhat uncomfortable, but he also pretended to be nonchalant and was very polite to her. When the two came out of the airport, they saw Tian Zhongluo face to face.
Tian Shi always talks about ostentation, and basically grabs the C position no matter where he appears, but today it is very rare that he does not have a bodyguard, and there is a middle-aged man standing beside him. Seeing Ding Qi and Ma Xiao coming out, Tian Zhongluo stepped forward and introduced: "Ding and Ma, this is the landlord of Changcheng Fudi, Yang Chengong."
Ma Xiaojiao smiled and said: "Lord Yang? This title is really interesting!"
Yang Chengong and Ma Xiao shook hands and said: "Lao Tian is joking with me, Miss Ma can call me Lao Yang."
Ding Qi also stretched out his hand and said: "Yang Fuzhu, hello!"
According to the rules established by the Fangwai Alliance, the Lord of Changcheng Fudi should be called Yang Dizhu, but the word landlord is not very good and can easily cause misunderstandings, so it is customary to call it Fuzhu, which sounds very blessed. Well. Only people who are very familiar will call the landlord to make a joke.
Yang Chengong held Ding Qi's hand again and said, "You are Director Ding? Long Yang Yang Yang! Just now you and Miss Ma walked over, and I shined right in front of you, really a pair of golden girls!"
Ding Qi almost didn't choke on him. This Yang Fuzhu should be complimenting people, but the taste of compliment is not right. Do you think he and Ma Xiao are a pair? What kind of look is this?
Tian Zhongluo didn't bring bodyguards, but Yang Chengong brought his men. Everyone left the airport and got into a seven-seater commercial vehicle. There was another SUV in front of them. They walked along the winding mountain road for nearly two hours and arrived. It's almost time for dinner in a place called No.5 Valley in Wulingyuan Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie.
Valley No. 5 is both a valley and a homestay. Many tourist resorts now use the name "village", but they don't look like a village at all, but the No. 5 Valley is different. When Ding Qi got off the bus, he thought he was in front of a Tujia village built on the hillside, and this homestay resort was actually transformed from a Tujia village.
I walked the stone steps and entered the Muzhai gate. The house I saw was earthen walls and grass roofs. After I walked in, I found that the decoration inside was exquisite. The entire homestay is very large, ranging from the very level at the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, interspersed with various sceneries.
There are also two lakes in the "village", one is a fish pond, and the other is transformed into a swimming pool with a view of the sky. At the foot of the mountain is a stone road, which turns into a wooden plank road when it reaches the middle of the mountain. In order to protect the natural vegetation, many parts of the wooden plank road are missing for trees to grow out.
In the public restaurant, they saw a middle-aged man with long gray hair and a braid behind his head. Next to him stood a woman with a gentle temperament and a blue printed shawl. This is a couple full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Yang Chengong stepped forward and introduced: "Everyone, this is Chen Zimo Chen Guzhu and Gu Zhu's wife Waner of Valley No. 5!"
Master Chen Gu? This title was interesting, and Ding Qi thought of many other world masters, such as Ye Gu Master of Wuxin Valley and Wu Gu Master of Former Name Valley. Although this place is not outside the world, it also has a sense of a paradise.
The Tujia style village is built on the sunny slope. There are orchards and bamboo forests in the village, and a vegetable garden has been cultivated in the valley opposite the village, where you can taste fresh fruits and vegetables in four seasons. For example, if you order an egg with fried chili, the egg may have just been laid in the chicken coop, and the chili is picked from the ground.
Everyone smiled and greeted Gu Zhu and his wife, and Chen Gu Zhu held Yang Chengong's hand and said: "Chairman Yang, what wind has brought you here again? He also brought so many distinguished guests..."
Yang Chengong: "This place is so good, the Lord Gu has a real fairy life! You were just named the'Top Ten Must-sleep B&Bs in the World' last year. Of course I will look for more opportunities to enjoy it."
Master Chen Gu: "These are leaders' support and peer encouragement..."
Ding Qi learned from the greetings between the two that Yang Chengong was the chairman of the local labor union and was considered a party and government cadre. The identities of the lord of the outside world are different from each other, not only have the eight secret arts inherited from the world, but also many people are in public. Everyone ate dinner here, tasted seasonal specialties and several local game dishes, and drank the wine made in the valley. It felt very good.
The day after dinner is already dark, Tian Zhongluo can't say that he is in a hurry to visit Changcheng Fudi, because there is still a wild road to go, stay here for one night, and it will not be too late to leave tomorrow. If Mr. Ding and Mr. Ma have a good time, After visiting Changcheng Fudi, you can also go to the Zhangjiajie Scenic Area. Anyway, now the foreign alliances are adequately funded, and official travels like this are all public funds.
A separate suite was arranged for Ding Qi that night. Walking along the wooden plank road to the end of the mountain, there is a wooden platform, and an emerald tree emerges from the center of the platform, just like a big umbrella, under the tree there is a wooden platform. Tables and chairs are available for a nap. The house is also made of wood, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side. There are not only a living room, a bedroom, but also a small tea room.
The floor-to-ceiling windows can overlook the valley on the opposite side. This pattern has a good view, but it is not the best from the perspective of feng shui, because it is too unobstructed. Living on weekdays may not be comfortable. The designer of the homestay is obviously also very particular. There are just a few old pine trees outside the window, and the hanging branches make up for this defect.
Looking over from the valley in the distance, the pine branches are hidden from view, but the landscape is very clear while sitting in the house. The pine branches hanging down in front of the window nearby have also become the decoration of the composition.
Ding Qi sat on the ground in the tea room, poured a pot of tea on the table in front of him, and drank himself, looking at the evening valley outside the long window. The weather at the end of August in the Gregorian calendar is still very hot, but the area feels very cool. Just after a rain in the day, water vapor in the mountains rises, forming layers of white fog near the top of the peak, which is looming in the dim light, like it An ink painting.
It is located in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area of Zhangjiajie, and Wulingyuan is famous for Tao Yuanming's "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring". In the living room of that building in Nantong Community, Zhu Shanxian hangs the book "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" written by him, and the poem by Pei Di of the Tang Dynasty: Going back to the mountains and deep and shallow, the hills and valleys are beautiful. Mo learnt from Wuling people and temporarily visited Taoyuanli.
Perhaps everyone has their own Taoyuan in their minds. It is not only a yearning, but also a kind of feeling and state. The so-called free and easy scenery does not need to be found in the outside world. Every prescription outside world he sees may be the manifestation of the spirit of the creator... I remember that in the early summer of last year, Mr. Zhuang once talked about the bowl of Pianerchuan, talking about the realm of life.
Ding Qi’s feeling at this moment is that life is not only to pursue a certain seemingly illusory realm, but what is really important is that when you have that realm, you can truly enjoy life in that realm...
At this moment, his thoughts were interrupted by the knock on the door, and Ma Xiaojiao's voice came from outside the door: "Leader Ding, have you rested?"
Ding Qi was stunned. With his cultivation base, he didn't realize that Ma Xiao had already arrived at the door. He just saw the scenery in the distance. He felt a little distracted, and Ma Xiao was obviously also a little bit cultivating, and when he walked over, he lost his breath. There is a distance from other houses here. At the end of a wooden plank road halfway up the mountain, it seems that no one is disturbing.
Ding Qi stood up and went to the living room to open the door, and smiled politely: "I haven't rested yet. I'm drinking tea and watching the scenery. Is there anything going on with Director Ma?"
Ma Xiao walked into the room and said, "Leader Ding, don’t always call me Director Ma. It’s too strange, just call Ma Xiao. It’s really nice here! You are drinking tea alone? This tea room is really elegant... …Master Chen Gu and the others are having a bonfire party, let me call you, don’t you go to the fun together?"
Ding Qi shook his head and said: "I won't join in the fun."
Ma Xiao took advantage of the situation and said: "I don't like to join in the fun. Let's drink tea with the leader Ding. It's still comfortable here."
Ding Qi: "You came just right. I saw the scenery over there just now, and I was about to go out for a walk in the valley."
In this summer, the clothes are very cool, and the lonely man and widow are alone in a room, even if nothing is wrong, they will be arranged for the matter. Ding Qi hurriedly found an excuse to flash. Ma Xiao immediately said: "The scenery over there is indeed very good. I will also accompany Teacher Ding to relax."
Ding Qi: "It's too dark, I'm afraid it's not safe, so don't go out."
Ma Xiao: "With the leader Ding, what am I afraid of?"
Ding Qi was also helpless. He walked out of the room and went down the hillside along the wooden plank road. A bonfire party was being held on the open space next to the fish pond, and the waiter was holding a fire extinguisher. Master Chen Gu and other guests in the resort are having a barbecue and drinking beer. This is a very happy entertainment on summer nights.
Ding Qi smiled and nodded and said hello, walked out of the gate of the villa along the stone steps, and entered the valley on the opposite side of the improvised road. Yang Chengong and Tian Zhongluo also followed when they saw the situation. When they saw they moved, six more strong men also followed. This night, Ding Qi wanted to just wander around, and unexpectedly pulled out a team.
A circular wooden plank road was also built in the valley, and several thatched pavilions were built in the places where the plank road passed, for tourists to take a walk to see the scenery. A lot of vegetable plots were opened on both sides of the road according to the topography. , It’s just not very real at night. Ding Qi was unaffected, even in the absolute darkness, he could sense that the foreign objects were unobstructed, and he had already exercised.
The sky is not too dark, after rain, the sky is clear, and the moonlight faintly illuminates the road underneath. Seeing Yang Chengong also followed, Ding Qi asked in a low voice: "The gateway to Changcheng Fortune Land, shouldn't it be in the B&B area of No.5 Valley?"
Ding Qi had already explored the location of the homestay with spiritual knowledge, and found no trace of the portal to the outside world. Yang Chengong pointed to the deep valley in the distance and said: "It's a coincidence that the boss Chen set up such a homestay opposite the gateway of Changcheng Fudi. There are about three or four miles away from here, which is Changcheng Fudi. Entrance."
The talking room has reached the end of the wooden plank road. If you continue to move forward, you will turn around. Ding Qi said: "Since we are here, let's go in and take a look."
He jumped off the empty wooden plank very lightly. Yang Chengong hurriedly yelled: "This black lamp is blind, and the road is not easy to walk. Why don't you go tomorrow?"
Ding Qi replied: "Didn't you bring flashlights? It doesn't matter if you walk around, just take a walk after dinner."
Yang Chengong jumped down, and the people behind also jumped off the boardwalk. Ding Qi also reached out and helped two of them. It had just rained during the day, and the field was a bit slippery, and it was indeed difficult to walk. Ding Qi has the ability to walk on the water, which naturally can't help him, and he still walks forward.
Tian Zhongluo smiled and said: "Leader Ding’s Yaxing is coming, and we can’t stop it, then let’s explore the blessed land together at night." He made a gesture while talking, and two great boys rushed forward to open it. With a bright flashlight, lead the way ahead. Ma Xiao followed Ding Qi closely, his feet seemed to slip a bit, and he held Ding Qi's arm along the way, and then just held on.
Ding Qi is also very helpless. He just didn't want to be alone with Ma Xiao when he ran out of the room. As a result, he became a blessed place for a night visit. Although the gesture Tian Zhongluo made just now was behind Ding Qi, Ding Qi also noticed it.
Yang Chengong and Tian Zhongluo, including Ma Xiao, obviously have cultivation bases, and there is no problem walking in the mountains at night. The other six people should all have good skills. They were guarding the crowd with a bright flashlight. Obviously, they were also well prepared. Otherwise, how could they carry the flashlight with them.
In the No.5 Valley B&B, Master Chen Gu was having a summer bonfire party with the guests. A waiter ran over and said, "Chairman Yang took the guests to the valley over there."
The lady of the valley master Wan'er waved her hand and said: "The plank road has been repaired, it's okay to take a walk, there are so many of them, there will be no problem."
Master Chen Gu said with a glass of wine: "Oh the opposite valley, don't run into the depths if you have nothing to do. I have heard the local old people say that there used to be people who ran away inexplicably and couldn't find them."
A guest came over and asked, "Oh, what happened later?"
Master Chen Gu: "The villagers searched for two days but didn't find anyone, but the one who was lost later came back by himself. Everyone asked him where he went, but he only knew that he was going around somewhere in the mountain, which was inexplicable. Two days later, I don’t remember anything. It is said that this happened several times in ancient times, and I don’t know if it is true or not."
Another guest said: "Did they run into the Peach Blossom Spring?"
Master Chen Gu nodded and said: "It's very possible, don't forget our name here, Wulingyuan!"
The chat was happily here, but they didn't know that Ding Qi and others had jumped off the wooden plank road and walked into the depths of the glen in the dark, heading for a world that no one knew.
PS: It's not that I want to break more, I can't finish writing in a day, and I don't want to break it apart. Today is a three-in-one super long chapter!
