Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 307. Ding Qi’s Taoyuan Story
lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!
Yang Chengong came into the house and brought Ding Qi a fruit plate. The shape was very irregular, like an open petal. The wall was very thick and very heavy. It was about two feet long and one foot wide. It was actually made with a scallop shell. It feels very old. This is not the South China Sea. How could clams be produced? It must have been brought in by the ancients, but they were not taken away when they moved.
Ding Qi put the peaches in, holding the heavy ancient plate with his left hand, pointing his right hand toward the sky, and then flying down five peaches into the plate very lightly. There was an ancient peach tree just outside the courtyard wall. The crown opened to cover most of the front yard. It happened to bear fruit this year. The fruit just fell from above. There are still seven or eight peaches on the tree, but they are not yet fully mature, so Ding Qi did not pick them.
There were only six peaches on the plate, but there were ten people here. Ding Qi walked out of the yard again carrying the plate and strolled around the dark village, looking for other fruit trees. When he brought the plate back, there were a total of twenty peaches inside. Ding Qi put down the plate and said: "I didn't pick too much, two for one person, both try them."
Take a bite of the peach, it is fuller and juicy than the wild peach outside, and the taste is sweeter. After eating the peach, the oval peach core is left, and the shell is dense and even close to bone. Don't throw away the nucleus. It's still useful to stay. Yang Chengong collects it every year, and everyone puts it back into the disk.
After eating the first peach, taste the taste first. Ding Qi picked up the second peach and asked: "This is also considered a unique spiritual plant in Changcheng Fudi, what is the spiritual effect?"
The corner of Yang Chengong’s mouth tilted slightly: "Does Ding Mengzhu feel it? Of course there are spiritual effects. This substance can improve physical fitness, detoxify and moisturize, but also relieve swelling and pain, and remove sores."
If you only listen to the previous effects, Ding Qi still thinks that it is a beauty-retaining fruit, but the effect of this peach to improve physical fitness is the most important. The so-called physical fitness and physical fitness are two concepts. For example, many people in Jiufang Likong Island are actually in good health, but most of them have weak muscles and bones, but it cannot be said that their physical fitness is not good.
In most cases, physique and physique are related, and a good body is generally good. The spirit planted in Five Heart Valley, Five Flower Valley, has the effect of replenishing vitality and strengthening the body. It is equivalent to a weakened version of white jade hoof, but it is better than a large number and no toxic side effects. Ordinary people can even take it as a staple food, but its spirit The effect is still different from this thousand-year-old peach.
Human physique is determined by the growth environment and genes. It has long-term and congenital factors. It is not easy to change. From this we can see that the Lingtao here is extraordinary, and it has the effect of improving physical fitness. Ding Qi asked again: "So how to take the best spiritual effect?"
Yang Chengong smiled again: "Leader Ding should know, you must have your own method."
Ding Qi smiled: "That's true too!"
The taking of various elixirs has its own particularity, and each secret technique has its own method of cultivating form and spirit, which is nothing more than a combination of the two. How to take the elixir to make it more effective, Ding Qi learned from Tan Hanchuan, pays attention to the entry of mana, and senses how its spiritual effects are transferred and absorbed. If you take this elixir, you can even sense changes and changes in your physique. the trend of.
Tan Hanchuan's teachings are all about the fire door, which is related to the furnace and cauldron technique he cultivates. When Ding Qi takes the elixir, he also combines the characteristics of the secret technique he has cultivated. He will let go of his body and spirit like a world of heaven and earth. , In this state to carry out the efficacies. If it is in a specific outside world, he will try to interact with the world where this elixir grows.
Thinking of this, Ding Qi didn’t ask how Yang Chengong took Lingpeach. He took the second peach and stood up and said, “This kind of Lingpeach can’t be wasted. I just ate one. Find a suitable place to enter the country. I'll take a second one, I plan to stay here overnight."
Yang Chengong: "There are four houses in the main house, and two in the backyard. Leader Ding chooses the right place by himself."
Ding Qi: "Let the house be for you. I have just picked a place, under an ancient peach tree in the village."
Tian Zhongluo: "Since Teacher Ding is going to spend the night here after eating peaches, let's stay, and send two people back to the hotel to say hello, saying that we have been out to play all night, so the province can run away for us in the mountains. "
Tian Zhongluo's thoughts were quite delicate. Yang Chengong sent two entourages to go back to Valley No. 5 to say hello, and the others stayed here overnight. Ding Qi took a peach out of the courtyard and walked towards the center of the village. There was a clearing. There was also a thousand-year-old peach tree beside the clearing. Under the peach tree was a stone whose surface had been polished smooth, just like a seat for one person.
Ding Qi sat down on this rock, Yang Chengong and others followed and took a look. Tian Zhongluo also smiled and said, "Teacher Ding will sit here for the night? It's true that there is Liu Xiahui in ancient times. Today there is Taoxia. Come!"
There is no danger in Changcheng Fudi, and the people who are blinded by the dark lights are not good to stay here. They all walked back to the courtyard just before and no longer disturb Ding Qi. Ding Qi slowly ate the second peach, then buckled the peach pit in his palm, concentrating on the movement.
Even if the thousand-year-old peach of Changcheng Fudi has the effect of improving physical fitness, it will not be so obvious after taking two. Moreover, ordinary people have not mastered how to transfer and absorb the effect, so they can only take it regularly. . In Ding Qi's current state of cultivation, the effect of eating this kind of spiritual peach to improve physical fitness is actually very small, and he is mainly for understanding.
While Ding Qi is moving his spirit, he also let go of form and spirit to experience another realm. He is sensing this world, and running the heart and disc to combine with deduction of supernatural powers... The peach tree germinates and grows between the heavens and the earth, turning into the towering plant behind him. The tree, in a trance, saw the ancient crowded scene in the village.
The so-called heart disc condenses not only the spatial scenery but also the traces of time. Combined with the deduction of supernatural powers, the past and the future can be seen. The past and the future can be very real, but whether it is true or not is related to seeing and knowing. It is impossible for Ding Qi to condense this world of heaven and earth into a heart disk in a short period of time, but he has just turned around in the village, unfolding his consciousness and condensing the village roughly into his heart disk.
Ding Qi in the dark sits upright under the tree, but another Ding Qi in the fixed scene stands up. The ancient branches and leaves behind him swayed, and the peach blossoms on the tree were in full bloom, obviously thin, but still very tall. The surrounding villages have also become alive. Looking around, the land is flat and the houses are just like the genus of mulberry and bamboo. The traffic on the rice paddies, the chicken and the dog hear each other.
Everything is exactly like the description in "The Peach Blossom Spring", except that people's clothes are a bit nondescript, and it is not clear which dynasty style it is. The hemp style kudzu is very simple.
The peach blossoms bloom in spring and the weather is not very hot, but most of the adults here have thin clothes. There are also many children with curtains made of chicken feathers, which should be the local characteristics of insulation clothing, and some elderly people wear dog skins. Vest.
It was noon, and there were not many people in the village. The men worked in the fields and the women went to deliver food. Only the elderly and children stayed in the village for lunch. There was no one else in the open land, so no one found out. Ding Qi appeared here.
This is the scene shown by Ding Qi’s primordial spirit world. It is also possible to say that it is a delusion, but it is not completely illusory. For example, the outline of the village in front of him is transformed by the ruins that Qi sees. It is a combination of his operation of the heart and the disk. Everything seen. This scene may have happened in history, or it may not have happened.
It is difficult to describe the practice after breaking through the Dacheng cultivation base, and ordinary people can't even understand it. Ding Qi walked into this outer world in another way. He still decided to sit under the tree, holding the peach pit in his hand. Using the peach core as a guide, the world where it grew out of induction, and the heart to reproduce the scene of the world, and I go back to the past like a traversal.
In a sense, the Dacheng realm may not have any apparent magical powers, but it can travel through time and space freely, but it’s just that it’s not that.
Standing under the peach blossom tree, Ding Qi saw a person walking from the entrance of the village. This person should be the most normal person in this place. He was wearing a pair of cloth shoes, a headscarf, and cotton clothes. Look The style is like Song Dynasty costumes. Ding Qi turned around, changed into similar clothes and walked over.
Here, it seems to be paranoid and not paranoid. Everything is manifested according to deduction and will not go beyond what you see and know. But Ding Qi's appearance in this scene is obviously an unexpected factor. When the man saw Ding Qi, the rake in his hand fell out of surprise, and he hurried over to salute: "Brother, where did you come from?"
Ding Qi almost blurted out Master Chen Gu, because his appearance was so similar to the boss Chen in Valley No. 5, he was carved out of the same mold, he was in his early forties, but his clothes were different. . Ding Qi replied: "Of course I came from outside. I came to the precious treasure land by chance. Where is this place and who are you?"
The man pulled Ding Qi's sleeve excitedly and said: "Sure enough, you are a visitor from a foreign country, and you can only come from outside! The ancestors of the past have spirits, and finally foreigners are here!"
Ding Qi patted his hand back and said: "Don't get excited, you haven't told me where this is yet."
"This is Changcheng Fortune Land. My surname is Chen, the local patriarch. What is your surname, my brother?" The patriarch Chen has pulled Ding Qi's sleeve and walked out of the open space, with surprises overflowing his face. He kept saying in a low voice, "Go to my house first, I will tell you the situation here in detail..."
Ding Qi: "My name is Ding...Don't worry, you can go slowly."
When I came to the home of the patriarch Chen, I saw his wife and five children. The family members were also surprised. The patriarch introduced Ding Qi as a distinguished guest from outside, and called it as his husband, and then ordered his wife and eldest daughter to slay chickens and cook. The cooking here is a ceramic pot, the knife is also polished with stone, there are very few metal utensils, and the simplest cooking is mainly used.
The chicken soup is very fragrant, and there are fresh fungus picked from the wooden fence in the yard, which is very tasty, and the chicken is also very delicious, but it feels lighter. The patriarch asked Ding Qi how well he was eating, and Ding Qi answered truthfully. Clan Chief Chen sighed: "The taste is really weak. Chicken stew was not like this in the past. In fact, there is not much salt in the village."
Ding Qi asked: "No salt is produced here. Salt should have been shipped in from outside. Isn't it now that it can't be shipped in?"
Patriarch Chen looked worried and explained the reason to Ding Qi with a sigh. The people of Changcheng Fudi moved here in ancient times to escape the war. No one knows how and when they first came in. Ten years ago, the old patriarch gave the position of the new patriarch to the descendant named Chen Angu, but he didn't leave until three months ago.
In the beginning, Chen Angu was not a satisfactory candidate for the new patriarch. It took the old patriarch for almost 30 years, but he still failed to select a satisfactory successor. After getting older, he reluctantly handed over the position of patriarch. It took Chen Angu another ten years to train him, because he couldn't single out anyone else. Chen Angu is relatively the best among all the people.
The old patriarch gave Chen Angu a special peach pit. This peach pit cannot be broken or burnt. It is wrapped with silver buttons and hung on a silk rope. The silk rope can be wrapped around a few more times and tied to the wrist. You can also wear the peach core as a pendant on your chest. This is the treasure of Changcheng Blessed Land, and only with it can it open the door to the outside world.
It took Chen Angu ten years to fully learn how to use this peach core. The old patriarch has gone. The tribesmen here are like being completely trapped in this small valley. Many things that the valley needs but cannot produce on their own, used to be brought back from the outside by the old patriarch, including the clothes that Chen Angu is now wearing. The most important material is salt.
After the death of the old patriarch, no one has this ability anymore. On the surface, everyone can live and work in peace, but in fact, the situation is getting more and more difficult. Only those heartless guys do not realize the crisis.
Hearing this, Ding Qi interrupted and asked: "Before the old patriarch passed away, didn't he think about taking you to move elsewhere?"
Chen Angu: "The old patriarch said several times, but everyone has lived here since ancient times, and no one wants to go out. I heard that the outside world is very sinister."
Ding Qi: "Why is it sinister?"
Chen Angu was a little embarrassed and said: "It's not what I said, everyone talks like that. In the past, the old patriarch used to take people out to recite things, but people didn't remember the things outside after they came back, and some became stupid. Later, the old patriarch only took those foolish people out to recite things, anyway they were stupid."
Ding Qi: "So the people are not willing to go?"
Chen Angu nodded and said: "Yes, no one is willing to leave, and the old patriarch said that after going out, he can’t come back again. Some things have never happened before, so no one can think of it. Wait until the old patriarch really After "'s departure, everyone gradually felt bad."
Ding Qi: "Where is the old patriarch buried? I want to worship."
Chen Angu shook his head and said: "The old patriarch was not buried here, he went out by himself."
Ding Qi: "Didn't you say that he died?"
Chen Angu: "Yes, his old man should have passed away. He told me that he knew that the years were about to end and he didn't want to die here, so he left by himself and left the peach core in front of the door. He often Going out, there are families, careers, and descendants...he only told me about these things."
Ding Qi: "Oh, what else does his old man have to say, why are you so excited when you see me?"
Chen Angu: "His old man gave me a map before he left, saying that if one day I can grasp the heritage treasure and open the door, I can take the tribe out, and there is a place where the village can be rebuilt, and I can also look for it. His descendants asked for help. He also said that if I don’t have this ability, I can only pray for the appearance of the ancestors of the past, and outsiders come in to help us."
Ding Qi: "His old man knew I would come?"
Chen Angu shook his head and said, "No, no, the old patriarch doesn’t know. It’s just a legend that there have been outsiders here. I don’t know how they got in or how they got out. But since some people can come and go here. If we are lucky enough, meeting outsiders may be our last chance. I didn’t expect to see Mr. Ding today!"
Ding Qi: "When was the last time an outsider came here?"
Chen Angu: "Hundreds of years ago, it's just a legend. When I saw Mr. Ding today, I know that the legend is true. You must help us..."
Ding Qi laughed: "I can help you with no problem, but the old patriarch persuaded you to move. Many clansmen are still unwilling. It is useless to persuade me as an outsider. You need to go from house to house to explain the truth clearly. Who will go? Staying is all voluntary. By the way, how long will your salt be enough to eat?"
Chen Angu: "Almost three months."
Ding Qi: "Then I will stay here for three months, and I will also give you three months. Moving is a big event, you need to prepare well, bring everything you can bring, and you also need to be patient to persuade the tribe. First give me the map left by the old patriarch, and the precious peach core."
Chen Angu is a simple person, so he didn't think much about anything else, and immediately gave everything to Ding Qi. As Ding Qi expected, the peach core is the treasure of Changcheng Fudi, and it needs to be studied carefully when held in his hand. After opening the map again, the old patriarch marked the mountain terrain outside and drew a place where he could move.
Although there is no marked distance on the map, Ding Qi came in from the outside. The changes in the terrain in ancient and modern times are not too great, and they can basically be identified. From the gateway of Changcheng Fudi, you can see the current through a peach forest. Walk along the current for about two kilometers. There is a village on a high slope.
Passing through this village, about a kilometer or so away, is the area drawn by the old patriarch, which is where the No. 5 Valley is now. The old patriarch also marked a piece of text in the picture, telling Chen Angu that if he takes his clan and moves out, what will happen in the future, he can also go to the small Wuzhuang outside Suokou Village to find Wu Qiusheng for help. Wu Qiusheng is the old patriarch. Grandson outside.
The location of Suokou Village and Xiaowuzhuang is not shown on the map. It may be that they are far apart. If Chen Angu can go out, he will have to find out by himself. There are not many literate people here. Chen Angu is one of them. He was also taught by the old patriarch, so he can still understand this picture.
The rice was finished, the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up, and Chen Angu's wife brought fresh melons and fruits, which were actually placed on a plate made of polished clam shells.
