Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 027, Shaolin Sweeper Monk

lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!

In Ding Qi’s hometown, village-to-village projects have also been carried out in mountainous villages over the years, and each mountain village is connected by roads. For rural roads in this mountainous area, government investment, the minimum standard is a cement road with a width of 3.5 meters.

On a 3.5-meter-wide road, if two large cars meet head-on, it’s hard to drive, but it’s easy to do. Find a place with a wider roadbed and slow down and make way to the side of the road. many. If the township raises some funds on its own, many places will widen the road to 4.5 meters, and there will generally be no traffic problems.

Jinghu City is located in the plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is an economically developed area in Jianghuai Province second only to the provincial capital. Of course, the roads are better built, and no matter where you go or which township you go to, it is already very smooth. This weekend, Ding Qi rested again. It is convenient to have a car. He drove on the outskirts of Jinghu City and walked along the bank of the river. In some sections, there were highways on the embankment, and in some sections, he needed to park and walk up the embankment for a long view.

He also holds a high-powered binoculars in his hand, just like a scout or a commander in a movie, this is not a local stall, it is a genuine product bought by someone at a high price. He spent two full days visiting both sides of the Yangtze River, but found nothing.

Once he saw that the topography on the other side of the river was a bit like Xiaochishan Park. He drove a big circle back to the city and crossed the river from the bridge to there, but found that it was just a bit like it, and the topography was still far away. , It is not the place he has been in the spiritual world of Tu Zhi or Tian Qi at all.

Perhaps standing on the river bank is hard to see clearly. On the second weekend, Ding Qi gritted his teeth and simply hired a boat for the money and went down the river with a telescope to observe the scenery on both sides of the strait. It was not easy to observe at night, so he could only watch during the day. He didn't want to go too fast. On the first day, he went from the upper reaches to the downtown area of ​​Jinghu, and on the second day from the downtown area of ​​Jinghu to the lower reaches, he still didn't find anything.

In Jinghu City, there have been no fishermen in the Yangtze River for a long time, and even if there are, they are also fish and shrimp farmers in various towns. Not all boats can enter the Yangtze River Channel. He hired an iron-hulled boat to transport pigs and walked and watched slowly along the channel near the edge. I was eager to find such a ship, and it took a long time for the owner of the ship to agree, and Ding Qi also spent a lot of money.

Ding Qi didn't tell Tu Zhi of his judgment, because he was afraid that Tu Zhi would suffer from heart disease. Little did he know that his own behavior seemed a bit stunned. For example, the boat owner's eyes looked a bit crazy when he looked at him.

With limited time, energy and financial resources, it is impossible for Ding Qi to inspect the entire Yangtze River. He observes this section of Jinghu City. Before "killing" Tian Qi, Ding Qi also read Tian Qi's detailed dossier through his relationship. This person has always lived in Jinghu City and has not traveled far. If it is a place Tian Qi has occasionally visited, It should be in Jinghu City.

The river section actually inspected by Ding Qi has both ends beyond the jurisdiction of Jinghu City, and the lower reaches even reach neighboring provinces. After tossing for such a big circle, there was still no result, but Ding Qi continued to look for it. He was not only looking for it on the river bank or on the boat, but also in the library.

China is the only country in the world that has abundant and detailed local historical records. This is a valuable asset for everyone living in this country. Perhaps it is precisely because of this uniqueness that this information is not paid much attention to, probably because today's "developed countries" do not have such a thing.

Ding Qi works in the library. He knows how to find it and he has the conditions to find it. He began to look up the local chronicles of the prefectures and counties in the Jinghu area of ​​the past dynasties. He also pays attention to the travel notes and books written by the famous Jinghu celebrities in history. Zha, anthology. The Jinghu University Library has incomplete information on this aspect, so he deliberately made a letter of introduction and went to Jinghu City Archives to check it.

The idea is simple, but it’s not easy to actually do it. No one has sorted out the electronic version of so much information for many years. It is impossible to search for the desired results by typing in keywords. Many of them are orphans and rare books. Only the rolls of masks and gloves are carefully turned through. The content is all. It's a vertical line of traditional Chinese, pay attention to relevant clues in the vast information.

The contents recorded in the local chronicles mainly include the appointment and dismissal of officials in the past dynasties, as well as the commendation of filial sons and women, including various natural disasters and man-made disasters as well as major cases within the jurisdiction. They are basically records, words, and deeds. , There are very few descriptions of specific landscapes and geomorphology, so you need to find a little bit, especially the place names mentioned in the ancient books. This is too tiring!

Dante Qi also found two clues, the first clue is particularly eye-catching. He saw a sentence in the local chronicles: "The suburbs of the town, the Yin of the River, there are large and small Chishan, and even hills stand on the water wall."

This is a record from the Tang Dynasty. There is no punctuation in classical Chinese. It is not Xiaochishan but Da and Xiaochishan. The so-called Yin refers to the south bank of the Yangtze River, which should be the current location of Xiaochishan Park. In the later historical records, the place name "size, chishan" was occasionally mentioned in several places. Ding Qi knew where Xiaochishan was, but he didn't know where Dachishan was.

There is no deliberate explanation in the materials he has read. It is just a place name. Since its appearance in the Tang Dynasty, it has been naturally used by future generations. Later, when Ding Qi went out and inquired, he discovered that the term Chishan Mountain was very popular in Jinghu, and he didn't need to check any historical records to know it.

Many old people and many young people about the same age as Ding Qi have actually heard of Chishan Mountain, or Da Chi Mountain and Xiao Chi Mountain, which are the place names of Jinghu Lake. Ask them who they heard, but they don't know clearly. In short, it is a kind of memory. It seems to be listened to by the old people, and the old people listened to the older people. It has long been a convention.

A conversation between Ding Qi and Old Yangtou, who is the guardian of Boci Medical, is the most representative.

The old head of Yang is named Yang Ce. He is the old man on duty at Boci Medical at night. As the saying goes, he calls the guard. The hospital has security guards on duty at night, and there are doctors and nurses on duty at night, but Boci Medical has a parking yard, and there is a communication room at the entrance of the hospital, where Old Yangtou stayed vigil at night.

Old Yangtou is not on duty in the reception room during the day. There is a security guard there during the day. He does not come until after nine o'clock in the evening. Even if he sees it, no one will pay attention to the older man. But Ding Qi's eyes were unusual. One day he was in the hospital to sort out medical records and went back very late. When he was discharged from the hospital, he greeted the old man. He felt that this person was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

After driving back to the apartment, Ding Qi suddenly remembered. He turned on the computer and found the website of Jinghu Boci, and saw a picture of Old Yang. The sparse hair of Lao Yang in the photo is combed back, the pattern is not messy, and he wears a pair of old-fashioned gold-rimmed glasses, and his suit looks very handsome. Look at the introduction, this is Professor Yang Ce from a family of Chinese medicine, a well-known expert in massage and bone orthopedics in the country...

Ding Qi was a little dazed at the time. Was this Boci Medical Care a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, or was it a swindle? The old man in the communication room has become a famous expert and professor, and he still hangs up on the website in a magnificent manner?

Ding Qi also saw his own photo, which is higher than the old man Yang, now hanging on the far right of the first row, and of course there is also an introduction. Of course, the psychological quality of the psychiatrist must be excellent, and the face must be thick enough, but Ding Qi himself looked ashamed. He once said to Zhang Lichen, the "roommate" responsible for making the webpage, that the profile should be truthful, but in fact it doesn't seem to be the case.

The website introduced him as a PhD in psychology, and Ding Qi did read a Ph.D., but was expelled from the first year of the Ph.D. and did not get a degree. Ding Qi asked not to mention the "Jinghu Ankang Hospital incident". The website did not mention a word, but said that "Dr. Ding Qi is a well-known expert throughout the country. He is widely praised for his outstanding achievements."

Of course, there are still a few paragraphs in the introduction. It is hard to say that they are completely fictitious, but the adjectives used are too exaggerated. When Ding Qi watched it, he felt that if he followed this introduction, he was a little bit close to winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Knowing that Lao Yangtou is "the famous professor Yang Ce from a family of Chinese medicine", Ding Qi is both funny and curious. Look at the photos on the website, and think about the old head Yang himself who I saw in the communication room. No matter what, I couldn't contact him. If it were not for professional habits that caused Ding Qi to observe people very carefully, he would not be able to recognize it by another person.

Because of recent events, Ding Qi's curiosity has become very heavy, as if he has regained his child-like mentality, as if the world is full of mysterious unknowns, and he is trying to solve puzzles. Xu was influenced by this mentality, and he also wanted to find out the origins of Old Yang Tou, could it be that he was such a hidden master like a "Shaolin Sweeper"?

The legendary Shaolin sweeping monk was also a librarian, and he was a colleague of Ding Qi.

Looking for an opportunity and Lao Yang's headgear is almost very simple. One day, Ding Qi deliberately waited until nine o'clock in the evening before leaving get off work, holding a bottle of wine, and several boxes of food ordered for takeaway. When he walked to the entrance of the compound and looked into the communication room, Lao Yangtou was using the induction cooker to cook a pot. The small table was already set up, and there were still loose white wine and wine cups on it.

Ding Qi stood at the door and greeted him, and Old Head Yang also smiled: "Doctor Ding, I got off work so late, haven't you eaten yet?"

Ding Qi replied: "It’s easy to live alone, and it’s easy to eat. I think your old pot stews very fragrantly. I happen to have wine and food here. How about we eat together as a group? Anyway, go back alone. Eating is boring."

Lao Yangtou was a little surprised, but he nodded happily and said: "Okay, come in and sit down, it's cold outside."

Ding Qi, who was self-cooked, came in and sat down, put the dishes away, Old Yang took out another beaker as a wine cup, Ding Qi opened the bottle of wine he brought, and filled both of them’s glasses. . Old Yangtou said: "Doctor Ding has to find someone with such a good condition. Your big city has a high vision, otherwise, there are quite a few suitable girls in our village..."

In the small communication room at night, there is a hot pot stewed with a few glasses of white wine. It is more natural to say, and the tone is also very casual. The two are like friends who have known each other for a long time. Ding Qi took advantage of the situation and asked: "Lao Yang, your name is Yang Ce? I saw your picture on the hospital website. It is a famous professor from a family of Chinese medicine. Come on, I will treat you to a glass of old age, which is really hidden. Ah!"

Old Yangtou was taken aback: "Doctor Ding is so good-eyed, he can recognize him?"

Ding Qi deliberately didn't go on to mention this. He just drank a drink and said: "Drink! I've done it, and you will do it too."

Lao Yang Tou finished this full glass of wine, and sweat was already on his forehead, so he didn't need Ding Qi to ask, he took the initiative to tell the reason. Lao Yangtou is not a lonely old man. He is a farmer in the countryside of Jinghu, with a wife and children. My daughter married out of town, and the family also built a two-story building in the village. The old couple used to spend time with their son and daughter-in-law.

But the daughter-in-law is more picky, and his wife feels it doesn't matter, but the old head Yang feels uncomfortable. When he had a chance, he simply ran into the city to work. When Old Yang Tou was young, he was a barefoot doctor in the township, and he also massaged and massaged. This technique is inherited from the family, and his father is also a barefoot doctor. He practiced medicine mainly from the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the beginning of the Cultural Revolution.

It seems that the introduction on the hospital's website that he was "from a family of Chinese medicine" is exaggerated, but it is somewhat of a spectrum. It was Boci Medical who specially brought him in, and he was called in at the hospital. It was 15 thousand and five a month, which was the same as Ding Qi's temporary job in the library. But when he put his photo on the website as a "Chinese medicine expert", the hospital would give him an extra 500 yuan every month, which was actually a good storefront.

Although Yang Ce is an ordinary old man in the country, he is not noticeable at all on weekdays, but if you look closely, his features are very good and he does not hunch over. If you straighten your chest and dress up, wear glasses and a suit and tie, your image is also good.

Professor Yang Ce is a "big expert" and will not visit the doctor easily. But some people just come here after seeing the introduction and call for Professor Yang Ce to visit the doctor. What should I do? It's easy to do, change into the clothes that you put away on weekdays and dress up well, then go chant.

Massage and Tuina are both technical and strength work. Old Yang Tou will also do it himself, but Professor Yang is old and respected, so he can’t come all the way in person, usually under his on-site guidance and other young people. The doctor went on to get started. The effect of this is also very good, at least in the patient's psychological feelings, and the scenes can also deal with the past.

In this case, the old Yangtou also gets a commission, so he is more than a fixed two thousand a month, and often has an income of three or four thousand. When the situation is good, he can even get it. More than five thousand, this is much stronger than being angry with a daughter-in-law at home. Nowadays, every time he goes home, his daughter-in-law is very polite and respectful, and she is also the one who has the final say in the family.

Ding Qi praised the old man for living a smart life, and then asked: "Then what is the title of professor?"

Old Yangtou smiled while holding the wine glass: "I also have a certificate!"

After talking for a long time, Ding Qi understood that Lao Yang had a visiting professor certificate from a private university in the province of Zhang, which was provided by Boci Medical. Issuing this kind of certificate is like issuing a certificate, and the cost is no more than 20 yuan, just write a name and stamp it. The Botian Group behind Jinghu Boci is related to many private schools. Many of its affiliated institutions will provide internships for students of these schools, and will also hire their graduates. Who wants to give a visiting professor certificate? Just say hello.

Ding Qi was also dumbfounded after learning about the "truth". He didn't know how to comment on Lao Yang's introduction on the hospital website. Old Yangtou also said enthusiastically: "Doctor Ding, you are familiar with the hospital leaders. If you want to be a professor, let them also give you a certificate."

Ding Qi smiled and turned away from the topic: "You are always a native of Jinghu. Have you ever heard of Chishan?"

Lao Yangtou casually replied: "Of course I have heard it! Da Chi Mountain, Xiao Chi Mountain, Shanhua blooming, March 3, visiting temple fairs, how fun... We even sang nursery rhymes when we were young."

Ding Qi asked: "Then do you know where Da Chi Mountain and Xiao Chi Mountain are?"

Lao Yangtou: "It's on the riverside, now there is a park."

Ding Qi: "I've been to that park, it's now called Xiaochishan Park, but where is Dachishan?"

Old Yangtou was taken aback: "Da Chi Mountain? It should be there, too, but it's not called that now, it's called Xiao Chi Shan."

This is the answer again. Ding Qi has heard this answer from more than a dozen locals. They had heard of the names of Da Chi Mountain and Xiao Chi Mountain, and they took it for granted that it was on the bank of the river where the current Xiao Chi Mountain Park was located. There is more than one mountain bag by the river. Maybe the bigger mountain bag is called Da Chi Mountain, and the smaller mountain bag is called Xiao Chi Mountain. Now that place is called Xiao Chi Shan Park.

But Ding Qi has been to Xiaochishan Park many times. From any angle, it is difficult to find the difference between Dachishan and Xiaochishan. So how did the earliest place names appear? Is it because the river bank has been eroded and the topography has changed? It's like a historical puzzle, but it's just Ding Qi's own puzzle, and people don't even think about it today.

In the long history, many place names have changed, so that some folk old place names are not clear where they are. Ding Qi’s hometown has a place called Sanxidu. There are many legends about Sanxidu in history. For example, there was a hermit who practiced as an immortal in Sanxidu. Many local people have heard this story.

But if you go to find out where Sanxidu is in reality, no one can tell, and you can't find it on the map. It may be that in history, there really was a place called Sanxidu, but then the topography changed and the place name changed.

If Ding Qi hadn't had this recent experience, he might think that this is also the case in Da Chi Mountain. But he had been to such a place in the spiritual world of Tian Qi and Tu Zhi respectively, and instinctively believed that that place should be Da Chi Mountain, which no one can tell and the way is unknown now.

Ding Qi: "You have a good memory. You still remember the nursery rhymes you sang when you were a kid. The song you just sang mentioned about visiting temple fairs. It is said that there was a Chishan Temple there. Have you been there?"

Chishan Temple is a famous temple in the history of Jinghu Lake. It was built in the Southern Dynasty. It was destroyed by wars and rebuilt several times in the past, but it was completely demolished during the Cultural Revolution. There are no temples in Xiaochishan Park today, and Ding Qi has seen records in local chronicles. Lao Yangtou was born in 1950, and he should have had the opportunity to see Chishan Temple.
