Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 308, salt
lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!
For the next three months, Ding Qi stayed in Changchengfudi, and occasionally disappeared for a while. That was when he took the time to quietly walk out. Clan Chief Chen introduced this Mr. Ding to everyone. Everyone was curious and respected Ding Qi. Everyone knows that he is a visitor from outside, which confirms the legends hundreds of years ago. In their concept, those who can come in from the outside are amazing people.
Mr. Ding gave everyone a chance to take them out to find another home to live in, but he would never force it. He would wait here for three months, and then whoever wants to go will follow him. During this period of time, Clan Chief Chen went from house to house to persuade everyone to move, and Ding Qi also traveled to Changcheng Fudi to find out the current situation here.
The scope of Changcheng Fudi is not large. The terrain is roughly a plain surrounded by mountains. There are three villages in total. Today, the population size is about 800. In terms of production conditions and natural resources, it is close to the limit that can be carried.
Not all places are suitable for farming, and there is a cost-effectiveness problem with field gathering and hunting. If the energy consumed exceeds the energy available, these production activities become meaningless. According to the current production conditions, Ding Qi roughly estimated that the limit population that can be accommodated in Changchengfudi does not exceed 1,000.
Ding Qi finally understood why the old patriarch never found a suitable successor, because the leeway he could choose was actually too small. There are only 800 people here. Excluding the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, their physical strength and energy are less than half of the vigorous state, and among these 800 people, there are more than 60 idiots.
The so-called idiots are fools who are born with low IQ, and this ratio is too high. Ding Qi listened to Tan Hanchuan's introduction that if a population wants to maintain genetic diversity and not degenerate, the minimum individual size should be maintained at about 500. The population of Qin Gaotai World once dropped to this dangerous number.
Changcheng Fudi is another situation. Since this tribe moved to this place, it has always maintained the scale of several hundred people.
A lot of things have happened in these three months. First of all, Ding Qi consecrated the treasure of world control and condensed the entire outer world into his heart. He asked Chen Angu what secret method the old patriarch had taught, and Chen Angu all told the truth. Ding Qi practiced it himself, and left Chen Angu's mind and heart mark to pass on, and pointed him from time to time.
What's interesting is that this is Ding Qi's primordial spirit world, and in reality he has not learned the secrets of Changcheng Fudi. The so-called inheritance of the secret method from Chen Angu, and then turning around to point Chen Angu after successful cultivation is actually Ding Qi's own deduction, or Ding Qi has created a secret method of Changcheng Fudi on the basis of the cultivation of the external secret method.
Ding Qi's version of the secret method of Chang Cheng Blessed Land, which was taught by the old patriarch under the guise of Chen Angu, evolved in this strange world of the soul, and also includes the art of throbbing heart. Among the eight esoteric techniques of the arena, Ding Qi has studied the most and the highest level of cultivation is the mind-discipline technique. He has more experience than the other seven secret techniques. Nowadays, he has also achieved a great deal of mind-calculation aside from the external secret technique.
Two and a half months later, Chen Angu finally practiced the secret method, and was able to open the door with the treasure of the world. After studying with the old patriarch for ten years, Ding Qi taught Chen Angu in more than two months. Those ten years of hard work were not in vain, at least the foundation was laid, and Chen Angu finally opened up after Ding Qi's advice.
Since Chen Angu can open the door to the secret realm of heaven and earth, things seem to have a new turning point, that is, the clansmen do not have to move anymore, but continue as before. Chen Angu continues to play the role of the old patriarch. Of course, he could also use this as an opportunity to make another choice, to take all the people out to build another home.
Chen Angu asked Ding Qi for advice, what should he do, and can the move be delayed? Ding Qi replied: "You haven't changed the status quo here. You can cultivate the secret technique, but you can make a choice. If I didn't come, you didn't cultivate the secret technique, and there is no chance for this choice!
Do you still want to become another old patriarch, and let future generations face the same predicament? Even if you want to do this, let me ask one more question, do you know where to go back salt? The materials outside are not picked randomly. What do you exchange for it alone? "
Chen Angu: "I didn't mean that. But I was worried that the people would refuse to move in this situation. During this period of time, I finally moved some people to follow me."
Ding Qi smiled and asked, "Why tell them?"
Chen Angu was startled: "Should we not tell the truth?"
Ding Qi: "I teach you the secret method, but I don't want to pass it on, instead of preventing the tribe from making the choices they should make. You don't lie to the tribe, but there is no need to say everything."
Chen Angu thought for a while, and finally nodded and acquiesced to Ding Qi's suggestion. During this period of time, he did say that more than half of the people here moved out, because he told everyone the real situation at the moment, and Mr. Ding was only willing to wait for them for three months. If he didn't go out, he would die in this place forever.
Many people also came to ask Ding Qi about the outside situation. To tell the truth, Ding Qi didn’t know the details of the area outside during the Northern Song Dynasty. He could only answer what he knew and tell them what the outside world was like. .
Ding Qi found that every household was already packing things up, including those who claimed to be reluctant to leave, but they were actually packing up in secret. Soon it was three months, and the salt in the village was finally exhausted.
Why do people eat salt? Ding Qi also consulted Tan Hanchuan when chatting. Because in the impression of many people, other wild animals living on land do not need to eat so much extra salt, and they have no place to buy salt. Lao Tan's answer is also very interesting. It is said that this is a puzzle in the history of evolution.
First of all, the first factor is that people don’t grow hair! The most significant difference from other terrestrial thermostatic animals is that the human body does not have such a thick layer of insulating hair, the subcutaneous fat layer is not thick enough, and the skin is very fragile and delicate, covered with capillaries, and sweat glands are very developed. This has led to humans having an unparalleled advantage of other animals-heat dissipation is very fast.
So what to do in a cold environment? Put on clothes! Learning to wear clothes to keep out the cold is also a sign of the birth of wisdom. If there was no wisdom and no hair, the human species would have long been extinct. When did people start to shed their hair? It should be learned to take the initiative to replenish salt time consciously, and put on clothes along with the appearance of wisdom.
In addition to the skin system, humans have two systems that are significantly different from other animals. One is the nervous system including the brain. Its total weight accounts for a very high proportion of body weight, and it consumes a lot of calories for complex thinking activities. The second is the digestive system, including the stomach and intestines. Its total weight accounts for a very low proportion of body weight. Therefore, it is necessary to eat continuously at a high frequency to maintain physical strength.
Some animals can eat or even more than half of their total body weight after a full meal, and then they can stop eating for a long time, just lie on their stomachs in the nest. Humans can never do it. I have never heard that a person who is more than 100 catties hungry can eat several dozen catties in one meal.
It seems to be a disadvantage in terms of survival, but another angle has become a great advantage. Human endurance is very good, can continue to maintain a certain intensity of exercise for a long time, can work continuously, or continuous output under stable power.
If you look only at strength, people are definitely not better than cows; if you look at speed, people are not better than horses. But in the collective hunting, people keep chasing and rounding up, and eventually they can exhaust most of the prey. Of course, the otakus in modern cities no longer need to take advantage of this physiological advantage, but they will continue to consume and consume calories for other purposes.
Because the human body has a very good heat dissipation function, the digestive system is less burdened, and it will not cause excessive body temperature during continuous exercise. For example, a group of people chasing a group of deer with spears. The speed of the deer group can quickly throw away the people, but they must stop and rest after running a certain distance. The hunters will slowly catch up and eventually be able to catch the deer. A herd of deer was consumed alive.
Many animals can't run fast after eating, and they can't run far when they are hungry. Wild horses that are not raised in captivity and carefully taken care of are far from human opponents in this continuous chasing endurance competition.
More importantly, people can work continuously day after day, and this kind of work is relatively high-intensity. It is under the conscious command of the brain, and the production efficiency is unmatched. This is also the development of a civilized society. Base. Human physical labor itself is accompanied by the process of mental labor.
In order to do this, in addition to constantly replenishing food and water, people also need to maintain electrolyte balance and consume a lot of salt. The electrolyte intake in the natural food environment cannot meet this requirement. If the salt intake is not enough, and only other foods, people will lose this endurance advantage, and the efficiency of doing all kinds of things will drop sharply.
There is a real thing. During the post-liberation period to resist U.S. aggression and aid to Korea, a major general who was lurking in the mainland of China received an important order from Taiwan to find a way to destroy the Chongqing mustard factory! Because at that time, mustard is an extremely important military material shipped to the front line.
Lao Tan's original summary was: In a sense, humans are the most efficient animals, but they have to take in a lot of extra salt. This is due to evolution. As for why people evolve into this way, Tan Hanchuan couldn't explain it, anyway, it became like this. If we continue to discuss it, I am afraid that it has become another question that Ding Qi and others have thought about. Is evolution itself conscious?
In short, the salt in Changcheng Fortune Land is exhausted, and everyone except those fools is aware of the crisis. On this day, the patriarch Chen Angu organized a meeting of all tribesmen in the wilderness, and each household must send representatives to participate. Chen Angu didn't talk too much nonsense, and he immediately announced his decision. He will leave here early tomorrow morning and lead his tribe to open another home.
After this period of communication, about five hundred people are willing to follow him. There are more than 300 other people who suggested to stay, but they did not recommend staying by themselves, but suggested that all people of the tribe continue to stay here.
At this time, a young man brought a stool and stood on it and gave a generous statement. It was really hard for him to behave like a speech from later generations. Ding Qi already knew this young man. His name was Yang Fulai. He was one of the few local literate people. He looked a lot like Yang Chengong, the lord of Changcheng Fudi, or Yang Chengong, who was a teenager.
Yang Fulai stood tall and waved his arms excitedly and said: "Even if you enjoy a hundred years here, **** and ignorance are not the same as dying in the future? Even if it is death, I have to go to the outside world to see Look!"
Ding Qi didn't say much. This tribal meeting was just a notice. Anyway, he will open the door and leave tomorrow. Whoever wants to follow it will follow. After the **** crows the next day, the brigade packed up and left the village. Chen Angu was still thinking about the more than 300 tribesmen, but Ding Qi told him not to worry, they would follow.
As expected by Ding Qi, everyone followed the team. Those tribesmen who were originally unwilling to leave were actually prepared long ago. Seeing that everyone really wanted to move, they didn't want to stay alone. Those silly people were also greeted to go on the road together.
After opening the door, Ding Qi told them another thing. In fact, most of their things could not be taken out unless they were brought in from outside. Having reached this point, people have to abandon a large amount of materials.
Dante Qi also prepared in advance and ordered men and women to separate in formation, because most of the people didn’t even have clothes on their bodies after they went out. They took the prepared grass-leaf cloak outside the door and carried chickens and dogs to continue. Forward.
Fortunately, they didn't go far. They picked ripe wild peaches to satisfy their hunger. They traveled more than three kilometers and reached Valley No. 5 before sunset. Many simple sheds have been set up here, and some supplies have been piled up in the sheds. Ding Qi took Chen Angu out to prepare for the past half a month. The weather is not cold now, which can give the people enough buffer time.
Ding Qi instructed Chen Angu to lead his tribe to settle here, and don’t take them back after they came out, but Chen Angu himself can take the time to go back, and he should also choose a successor to continue to teach the secrets of Changcheng Blessed Land, so as to control the world. The inheritance of the treasure and the secret realm of heaven and earth is constantly extinct.
Temporarily put these people in place. It was already dark, and Ding Qi returned to Changcheng Fudi by himself and came to the middle of the village, still sitting alone under the big tree. When the **** crowed from the village, the sky was slightly bright, and Ding Qi finally opened his eyes and stood up.
Ding Qi has left Dingjing, not the morning of the Song Dynasty, but the ruins of the village 800 years later. This was a very fantastic experience. Ding Qi looked down at the peach pit in his hand. This object had been refined into a magical instrument by him, and it seemed to be a magical instrument containing vitality.
How to describe this feeling? This peach pit seems to contain a world. If it grows and sprouts, it seems to be able to evolve into a blessed place. But this is just a feeling, it's not that Ding Qi can really cultivate a blessed land, at least now he doesn't have the ability.
So what is the real magical effect of this peach pit? It is equivalent to a new treasure of the world! Ding Qi created another set of secret law inheritance for Chang Cheng Blessed Land in the primordial spirit, and sacrificed another treasure of world control. If he imparts this set of secret methods and the treasure of world control to others, as long as the person who can teach it is successful in cultivation, he can still control the secret realm of heaven and earth.
It may be an exaggeration to say that you can completely control the secret realm of heaven and earth, but at least you can control its portals, and you can also use this peach core to sense heaven and earth to continue your cultivation here. For Ding Qi himself, this peach pit is actually not very useful. He has a secret method, and the sacred aragonite can open the door to any outside world. There is no need to do anything more.
But from another angle, this peach pit is very meaningful. It is specially refined by Ding Qi for Changcheng Fudi, and with the corresponding secret method, it is equivalent to a backup of Changcheng Fudi's inheritance.
It's impossible for everyone to have a cultivation base like Ding Qi, even Ding Qi himself, only after his cultivation base breaks through the seven realms can he truly open the door and lead others into and out of the world without the help of the treasure of the world. And this peach core and the corresponding secret law do not need these preconditions, it is the traditional inheritance method of the outside world.
For example, if Yang Chengong loses his treasure of world control, Ding Qi can teach him this peach core, including the set of secret methods he created, and then replace the original inheritance of Changcheng Fudi .
The purpose of Ding Qi's doing this is of course not to use this to seek a blessed place. It is just an experiment in cultivation, and it is also an exploration of practicing the secret method of the outside world to a higher level. Ding Qi spent three months in the fixed state, running his heart to deduct the world. In fact, he was cultivating this peach core. At least he succeeded in the first step.
Looking at the peach pit in his hand, Ding Qi felt that it was almost meaningless from the real world-controlling treasure, and this feeling was indescribable. The treasures of world control that Ding Qi had seen were actually all artifacts, but this peach pit was not. Ding Qi hadn't had the skills to make artifacts yet.
It is more like a secondary device specially for the blessed land, which is more useful. In some respects, it can even replace the treasure of the world. With the proprietary secret inheritance, it can only be used for this method. Outside world. Changcheng Fudi may not need it right now, but other outside worlds need it!
For example, in the legendary Xiaoyang Kingdom, if you really find this outside world, but you can't find the treasure of the world, and you don't get its secret inheritance, then how can you let the outside world explore and develop it? The same can be done.
At dawn, Ding Qi put away the peach pits and walked back to the courtyard where Yang Chengong and others lived amid the **** crowing. For him, the time spent cultivating peach pits was not one night, but three months, and it also consumed three months of life. When Ding Qi walked into the courtyard gate, Ma Xiao also happened to walk out of the house, and saw her exclaimed in surprise: "Who are you?"
