Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 139, the town of abundance

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

Ding Qi smiled bitterly: "It's okay, but I went out for a walk at night, but I was shocked by everyone. Let's go in first, otherwise they won't get up, I have something to tell."

Back to the backyard, I saw a villager picking out all the toilets in their house, and they were wearing cloth masks and gloves. I don't know if the mask and gloves were originally present here, or they were specially made according to the instructions of Brother Zhuang Tian or Brother Tan Tian. Seeing a few elder brothers coming in, the two community members hurriedly put down their burdens and stepped aside to salute, not daring to get too close to them.

The three disciples just got up. They didn't know what was going on. They ran to the entrance of the shrine and were shocked. When they returned to the room, they found that everything was ready for washing. The new wooden basin contains warm water. There are bamboo cups and toothbrushes on the shelf next to it. There is also a small box next to the toothbrushes. There is also a bucket on the ground, which should be used for pouring water.

People here also know to clean their teeth and make toothbrushes. In fact, the toothbrush was invented in ancient China. Ding Qi also saw real objects from the Song Dynasty in the museum. The nobles used ivory, ox bones, and tortoise shells to make toothbrush handles. The commoners used bamboo and wood. The style was almost the same as that of modern toothbrushes, with small holes drilled on the top. Insert the animal's mane.

The toothbrush here is made of bamboo, and the bristles should be the bristles of the elk. The small box next to it should be toothpaste, which is made of fine salt and a gel-like thing. It must be a specialty here. Of course, there are combs, turbans and hair ropes.

The comb is made of jujube wood, the head scarf is made of silk dyed ginger, like a handkerchief, and the head rope is woven with red and white silk threads, very delicate. Ding Qi and others didn't have long hair, of course they didn't need this kind of thing, they just combed their hair. In Meng Huiyu's room, the hairpin was actually prepared.

Hairpins are not made of gold or bronze. They are inlaid with wood and jade. Of course, the so-called jade is not the outside Hetian jade or Lantian jade, but the beautiful stone with warm texture found in the local area.

Of course the girl likes this kind of stuff. Meng Huiyu specially made a few braids and put a bun, tied the hairpin with a hair rope, so after spending a little more time, she was the last one to walk out of the house. At this time breakfast is ready, Ding Qi and the other three are sitting at the table in the front hall and waiting.

As soon as I saw Meng Huiyu’s academic achievements, he shouted: "I said, how can it be so long, I used to dress up in the house!"

Ye Yanxing: "Girls, you can understand. Junior sister, your hairstyle is very unique!"

Meng Hui said shyly: "Does it look good?"

Ding Qi nodded: "Well, it looks pretty. Hurry up and eat."

Meng Huiyu lowered his head and exclaimed in a low voice: "Bubble small wontons, my favorite! There are also small bubble wontons here?"

Ding Qi smiled: "This is not a remote country, let alone a remote and wild place. Many things are exquisite, even more exquisite than the outside world!"

Bi Xuecheng: "What are these two dishes?" He used his chopsticks to point to two dishes of vegetables, one with fried young leaves, and the other with tender stems with peeled skin and pickled with salt.

Ding Qi raised his face and said two words: "Pigweed."

Ye Yanxing: "Pigweed! Did this feed us like pigs?"

Ding Qi: "There are two kinds of pigweed in the folks, one is called Houttuynia cordata, and in some places it is also called Zheergen. The other is sweet potato, which is called sweet potato in Jinghu Lake. The leaves and vines can be fed to pigs. Yes, the rhizome is of course better. This is the leaves and stems of the yam. They are just spiky and very tender. There are no pigs here, so they are used as vegetables."

Bi Xuecheng: "There is also a plate of meat. Eat meat early in the morning. Meat cooked in sauce...Ah, it's delicious!"

Ding Qi: "Most people here go out to work after dawn, so you have to have a full breakfast. Come back for dinner before dark. Basically, you will have two meals a day. If you are hungry outside at noon, you can eat something with you. Bring dry food."

This plate of meat is really delicious. It is cooked with soybean sauce, seasoned with Xincao root and local wild garlic. In fact, it cannot be said to be wild garlic. It has been cultivated and planted for many years. The meat cut into small pieces is burnt with the skin, the skin is very thin, the taste is tender, and the tongue is almost melted after a bite.

Ye Yanxing: "Master, what kind of meat is this? I have never eaten it before, but it's really delicious!"

Ding Qi also ate with relish, shook his head and said: "Eat slowly, don't burn your mouth...I have never eaten this meat." Then he called out, "Anyone?"

When they were eating, the other locals all quit. Hearing the call, Chen Rong, a military instructor from Dongdaying Camp, hurried in and bowed and said, "How many brothers have you ordered?"

Ding Qi: "What kind of meat is this?"

Chen Rong replied: "This is pork. Doesn't it suit the tastes of several Tian brothers? Then I will ask someone to change dishes."

Ding Qi shook his head quickly and said: "No, no, it tastes very good, I just ask."

After Chen Rong withdrew again, Ding Qi smiled and said: "I just said that there are no pigs here, and the result is. The pigs that the locals said are obviously not the pigs we know."

Bi Xuecheng: "I remember, this is rabbit meat, a local short-eared rabbit, people here call it a pig."

Ye Yanxing: "Jing nonsense, I haven't eaten rabbit before. How can rabbit meat be so delicious? It's not the taste at all!"

Bi Xuecheng: "If you don't believe me, I'll show you the evidence." He immediately ran back to the room and fetched the seventh book of "Heavenly Realms" that he read last night. Turning over one of the pages, there are pictures and texts on it. It shows a rabbit-like animal, and the text next to it is pig.

Meng Huiyu frowned and said: "It's not like a rabbit. The ears are so small. If the mouth is sharper, it looks like a big mouse... Hey, how come it looks a bit like the guinea pigs you've seen in the pet market?"

Ye Yanxing leaned his head and said: "This thing...I know, it's a bamboo rat. Look at the text next to it, it's not that it's good at digging holes and eating bamboo. People here actually use bamboo. Rats are called pigs."

Many things here are really interesting. According to Chinese tradition, there are no six animals here, but three animals, referring to three domesticated livestock: chickens, cows, horses, and pigs.

The so-called chicken is the artificially domesticated wild bamboo chicken. This thing will still fly. Therefore, when the young chicken grows to a certain extent, the bristles on the wings must be cut off. It can provide meat and lay eggs. The so-called cows and horses are not two animals but one kind of animal, which is the elk after artificial domestication, which is a large animal that mainly replaces manpower.

The locals have also heard of pigs, but they have never seen pigs outside, so they call the artificially raised bamboo rats pigs. Bamboo rat meat is delicious, and eating with the skin is even more delicious. Of course, this way of eating is more wasteful, because bamboo rat skin can also be used for clothes.

After eating, I took tea to rinse my mouth, there are actually tea leaves here. The marshal, military division, and Sima of Dongdaying all came and stood in front of the door and asked: "How many brothers do you have to order today?"

Ding Qi: "I want to visit the neighborhood today. Although I walked some places at night, it is not very convenient after all. I can't see many things... Also, I want to join the other camps. Brother contact as soon as possible to see when I can meet?"

Master Marshal replied: "Several brothers are going to visit, I will order someone to prepare a sedan chair. Early this morning, I will send someone to Zhongdaying to deliver the letter, and then pass the news through Zhongdaying Nan, Xi, and Bei Daying, told them that my four heavenly brothers had arrived in Dong Daying and showed a miracle last night. I believe there will be a reply soon.

Today coincides with a small city, and people from all communities in Dongdaying are here to worship everyone. Eleven days later, it will be the great city of heaven, when all the heavenly brothers can meet at Zhongdaying..."

According to the heavenly calendar, today happens to be May 21. People from all major cities, small cities, and other villages will gather at the main office to trade goods. Eleven days later, on June 1st, many people from all major camps will gather in Zhongdaying to trade in the great city of heaven.

There are no other festivals in heaven. Small cities are small festivals, and big cities are big festivals. The big city on January 1st is the most solemn festival every year, which is equivalent to the New Year outside.

It’s very inconvenient to send messages here. All of them need to be transferred through Zhongdaying. The courier will leave after breakfast. Hurry up and don’t delay. You can almost reach Zhongdaying before dark. This has to be physically strong, not for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. The reason why the main office of Dongdaying is so close to the foot of the mountain is to make this distance as short as possible.

If it rains, it will be troublesome. According to local conventions, if the big market is postponed on a rainy day, everyone will stop after the rain and set off. When the people from all camps have gathered and the transaction has been completed, the big market will be considered to be over. At the most exaggerated time, there was a big market that was postponed for a month, two big markets and one big market.

Ding Qi didn't want to ask someone to prepare a sedan chair, so should he take a sedan chair when he goes out for shopping? But then I thought about it, today is a small city, and there are too many people in the village. According to the "instruction" issued by Zhuang Mengzhou, everyone must be at least four feet apart from his brother, and he cannot touch his body and skin. It is indeed more convenient to sit in a sedan chair, so there is no stopping.

Meng Hui whispered in a low voice: "I feel so embarrassed to be served by someone as a good-natured brother. It is too corrupt to be a sedan chair when you go out!"

Ding Qi: "For the time being, let’s just go to the countryside and do as it is, some things are not easy to say, and some things will not be discussed until you see a few uncles and uncles. Don’t just care about your comfort here. You also have to suffer. This In a few days and nights, go out and practice qigong with me."

Ding Qi walked through the darkness and walked to Dongying Second Society last night. He felt that his spirit and mana were consumed very much. After a rest, he set off and returned. When he walked to dawn, he suddenly felt that, in fact, this method is extremely helpful for the cultivation of spiritual consciousness. Big! This is a good opportunity. It's hard to find this kind of natural cultivation environment outside.

At that time, he was thinking that after the three disciples' Secret Formula cultivation base breaks through the hidden E state, they can also use this method to exercise their spiritual consciousness. It’s just that he, a master, may have to work harder. He has to follow with a stick to prevent accidents. It’s best not to go too far away from the village.

When he returned to the shrine and saw a few disciples, Ding Qi changed his mind and decided to advance this practice. Walking through the dark night can exercise spiritual consciousness, and it can also help cultivate spiritual consciousness.

The essence of microcosmic is to perceive microcosms in order to see the world that is invisible to the ordinary sense organs, and to rely on the spirit of the spirit to refine the aragonites and maintain this state with the aid of the aragonites. Isn't this the highest state of synaesthesia? If you can surpass the ordinary senses to master an extended sense of ability and condense a clear self, in fact, it is the so-called condensed soul, which means breaking through the hidden state.

Walking through the dark night is a very good practice for them, which helps them reach the highest level of synaesthesia and can break through the hidden realm as soon as possible. Ding Qi brought three disciples to look for the Qin Gaotai in the outside world. What was the purpose? Isn't it just a trial? I didn't expect this situation to happen, but I can't forget my original purpose.

The three disciples explained the content to be cultivated. The four sedan chairs were already prepared in the front yard of the shrine, and they boarded the sedan chair and went out. The entrance to the shrine is the main road, and on the opposite side is an open space, where the small city twice a month is located. Nowadays, many people have gathered.

Seeing the four brothers coming out on the sedan chair, everyone stopped what they were doing and knelt down to the four brothers. The noise disappeared instantly, and the scene was solemnly silent.

Ding Qi sat on the sedan chair and said loudly: "Everyone, get up. If you don’t have to, don’t always kneel and talk. It’s too troublesome! Today’s small city, I’m just here to observe. You guys don’t be disturbed. What to do or continue to do, I will wait until I can see it."

Marshal Xiao Bozhi also said loudly: "Brother Tian gave the order, have you all heard clearly? Get up, and continue to do what you usually do. Brother Tian wants to take a look."

Everyone got up and thanked them, and continued to do the things just now according to Brother Tian's instructions. Ding Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The scene was okay. Everyone didn't rush over, and even many curious children were caught by the adults. Ding Qi sat on the sedan chair and began to visit the market. The Marshal Marshal led the way. Ding Qi walked in any direction he pointed, and the military division and Sima followed on both sides.

Everyone consciously withdrew from four feet away wherever they went. Although they didn't kneel down, they all bowed to salute. Looking at this posture, Ding Qi simply told the bearers to stay away from those trading booths and not to hinder everyone from doing things. The things that are sold in the small market are basically the products and handicrafts and daily utensils of various families.

Ding Qi found that the goods here are actually very rich in a sense, especially the bamboo weaving technology is very developed. Various bamboo woven daily utensils such as baskets, baskets, flats, tubes, bowls, cups, chairs, stools, caps, umbrellas...everything, and many beautiful decorative patterns are woven into exquisite pieces.

There are also many bamboo decorations, carved or woven, made into various animals or figures, as well as children's toys. It can be seen that bamboo is a very important material here.

According to the "Heavenly Things", there are 13 types of bamboos here, each of which has different shapes and uses. Bamboo materials are better obtained than wood materials. As long as a certain amount of harvesting is limited in a bamboo forest, bamboo materials will be produced every year, and bamboo shoots are edible, and the fine branches and leaves can also be used to raise bamboo rats.

Ding Qi saw the bamboo rat, which is the "pig" here. After a long period of artificial cultivation, it is very large, like a piglet, and one is estimated to weigh more than ten catties. The market sells bamboo rat meat, bamboo rat skin and bamboo rat oil, of which oil is the most expensive.

There are two ways to buy and sell here at the same time, bartering and currency trading. If the things of both parties happen to be exchanged, it is the most trouble-free, otherwise they will buy with gold coins. What's interesting is that bamboo eggs also have a certain currency function. Many people exchange bamboo eggs for things. For example, Ding Qi saw someone buy two tubes of cherry cream with a small blue bamboo egg.

Some people here also make cherry cream, which is not made into translucent solid lactose like Ding Qi, but is boiled and sold in the form of a paste. There are also solid candies, hawthorn candies, and even candied haws at the market. There are also kang yams in the market. Kang yams are actually roasted sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are very cheap here, mainly because the roasting time is valuable.

The stall with the most people sells tofu, as well as dried tofu and tofu skins. Sweet potatoes, rice, wheat, soybeans, sunflowers, pumpkins, and watermelons should be the species that were brought in from the outside. An army of tens of thousands of people could not have no grain and grass. The grain and grass are also seeds. Various melon seeds may be carried by some people. Snacks.

The total population of the entire Heavenly Kingdom is more than 4,300, while the population of Dongdaying is 726. Today, because of the arrival of Brother Tian, ​​everyone came, and even the infants were taken to the main community of Dongdaying by the adults, and the other three villages were completely empty. When Ding Qi and others were visiting, the residents of the other three villages were coming one after another.

It's amazing that such a small population has such a wealth of products. As Ding Qi saw with his own eyes, the residents of this place lived much more comfortably than in his native mountain village outside.
