145, Guanyan Fruit

The next day, Ding Qi and the four masters and apprentices did not go out and stayed in their respective rooms to read the classics here. There were many things that could not be understood by walking around outside, and it started drizzling today.

Ding Qi has read the first three volumes of "The Complete Book of True Contracts", "History of Heaven" and "The Legend of Heaven", and the last six volumes are still in the hands of three disciples. He did not rush to get new books next door, and put down the book in the second floor room to sit down and practice. He did not sit cross-legged, but sat upright in a chair, looking like he closed his eyes and rested, but he was already wandering around.

He is practicing martial arts and practicing the Kung Fu Kung Fu Kung Fu. If he changes to a Taoist monk, he may think that he is practicing the outdoor scene of the soul. Dan Ding Qi practiced his original secret method of the earth. Sitting in the house, his eyes are closed and he spreads his soul, his consciousness seems to have transcended the ordinary senses and extends to the village community outside the temple, and the life scenes of the people here can be vaguely seen.

Xingshen Realm emphasizes empathy with heaven and earth. First of all, you must be able to see the world outside the body. This is not only Ding Qi's experience when he first explored the secret methods of the outside world, but also his very intuitive feeling after his cultivation level broke through Xingshen Realm. For a while, he was concentrating the mind plate, and the foundation of the concentrating the mind plate is that there is a real world as a support.

Sitting in the house, you can see the village and community scenes, but it is not a heart plate. If you want to integrate all this into the soul and condense it into a certain cognitive or conscious impression, it is a heart plate. Ding Qi is just observing at this moment.

When it rains, many people stay in their houses to work, such as weaving bamboo utensils and weaving cloth. Some people go to nearby fields. Some people go to the water near the village to catch fish, catch shrimps, catch a few frogs, and take care of crops.

There is no oil paper umbrella here. Although the process of oil paper umbrellas is not difficult for locals, the materials are still a bit extravagant. Everyone uses bamboo leaf umbrellas, and they have formed a fixed standard. Use thin bamboo strips to form a conical frame, and then use the wide-edged large bamboo leaves that can wrap rice dumplings, and weave them piece by piece like tiles, which are both light and breathable.

The handle of the umbrella is a bamboo stick, and this bamboo stick can be removed. Put the bamboo leaf umbrella directly on the head as a hat, tie it on both sides with a strap on the chin, and use a bamboo hat and an umbrella for both purposes. In addition to the bamboo hat, there is also a bamboo leaf straw raincoat that woven around the shoulders to block the rain, mainly worn when working in the wild.

The school children came to the temple to class. This was something Ding Qi specifically advised yesterday, not to disturb their daily life here because of their arrival. There were only a dozen children in elementary school and college, but they built two townhouse-style two-story buildings next to the open space in the village center, because the school house was also a temporary inn.

If someone came to the neighboring village and wasted time when doing things, he couldn't rush back before dark and lived in the school to rest. Eight primary school children were in the front hall and the tables and stools were moved out of the wing room. They mainly learned to write and calculate. The recognition of words starts by memorizing the "True Commentary Book", and memorizing each word on the page while memorizing it is the way to enlighten the place.

The university classroom is in the back hall of the temple, and it is also downstairs of the room where Ding Qi lives, but there is only one teacher, Marshal Xiao Bozhi. Xiao Bozhi usually teaches college and elementary school for half a day, and the next day, the children are asked to study by themselves. There are many contents that require self-study. For example, the students read books by themselves, and ask if they don’t understand. Xiao Bozhi also has two assistants.

That day, Xiao Bozhi was teaching "The Art of Counting Numbers" to his college children, which quickly attracted Ding Qi's attention. Ding Qi also sat in the building to listen to the lecture. What Xiao Bozhi said was actually "pile-stack theory" and "preparation theory". This should be borrowed from the nouns and titles of Chinese classical mathematics. As for the differences, Ding Qi didn't know much.

There may not be such mathematicians in the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, but this place has such a long history. Although it is limited by production conditions and application technology, mathematics has also developed to a large extent.

In ancient China, the people who really needed to use mathematics to solve complex problems were not the accountant, but the "big craftsmen", designers and construction organizers of large-scale projects.

The theory of pile piles is a metaphor. For example, pile a pile of equally thick wood together to look at the cross section, when the area is known, calculate how many wood is there, or when the number is known, calculate how much space it takes to pile it down, and then generalize to the area and space measurement calculations of various complex shapes.

The ancestral principle of geometry, also known as the power product principle or the Cavalli principle, was derived from the foundation of the pile theory. The college children here have been studying for a while. Xiao Bo talked about the "transfer details and filling method" today to calculate the area or volume of complex shapes, which feels a bit like the calculation item in Go.

Ding Qi felt that this theory was very close to calculus, but in fact, it was calculus, and even some calculation formulas for specific shapes were produced, but it was so bad that it had not been summarized yet.

When Xiao Bozhi talked about "preparation theory" again, it was a bit beyond Ding Qi's knowledge, because Ding Qi was studying mental health after all. The course here does not emphasize theory, but is for application. Xiao Bozhi talks about how to calculate the weight of each part of the building and the stress of each part, and decompose the spatial structure.

Isn't this structural mechanics? Or it is a way of application and calculation of structural mechanics. Although it is only its simplest principle. This is something Ding Qi had never learned in college. He actually listened with relish, but there were a few children in the school who obviously found it boring. They didn't want to be craftsmen who built houses and bridges, and there were very few new houses in the villages.

Ding Qi was a little surprised. The children here only received two years of "compulsory education" and had already talked about such a deep content. It should be noted that in the second grade of primary school outside, mathematics is only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within a hundred digits.

Of course, the situation here is completely different from the outside. Many courses outside are not available here. Children who are at the age of 12 are "primary school" and "university" at the age of 13 are actually used in future production activities. The content is very concise and we do not expect everyone to learn it, as long as there are some people who can do it.

If anyone has learned and wants to continue his studies, then there is hope to become the next marshal... Ding Qi was listening to the class, Meng Huiyu walked out of the room, holding a book in his hand, and knocked on the door outside the room. Ding Qi opened his eyes and called her in, asking, "What's the matter?"

Meng Huiyu looked very excited and a little excited. She opened the book book and said, "Master, there is a divine thing called Zhuyan Guo. If I remember correctly, the soup and bathing prescription that Master Tan prescribed contains Zhuyan Guo Yao Powder. The book says it is a legendary thing. No one has seen it before. Where did it come from now? And I seem to..."

These words were said urgently and quickly, and Ding Qi stopped the conversation and said, "You seem to have seen them in the mountains?"

Meng Huiyu nodded and said, "Yes, the fruit is shaped like a pear, but the pattern is a bit like a small apple, with white and pink jagged stripes. We all saw it at that time and discussed whether we could eat it, but no one knew it, so we didn't dare to eat it randomly."

Ding Qi took the book in her hand and looked at the records carefully, and couldn't help but be amazed. He was concentrating his mind all the way, and he could not forget what he had seen his footprints, so of course he could clearly recall them. To be precise, it was on the thirteenth day after they arrived here, and he had seen this thing in the deep mountains.

There were five same trees growing there, three of which had fruits, but there were not many fruits, and there were a total of more than ten. Meng Huiyu thought the fruit was so beautiful, and she picked one and played with it for a long time, but she didn't eat it. Later, she threw it away. Now she finally knew what it was, and she felt very regretful.

As the name suggests, the beauty-retaining fruit has the effect of beauty-retaining, but it is not just as simple as so-called beauty and beauty. Not to mention women, even men will be moved. Who doesn’t want to be younger and more handsome? As for whether it really has this effect and what the effect is, no one can say, but just this possibility is enough to make the world crazy.

If it was just a legend, no one would take it seriously. But if this kind of thing is really found and the news spreads to the outside world, someone will definitely get this thing at any cost. Ding Qi frowned slightly and said, "I know this, but you must understand that the news here must not be leaked, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Meng Huiyu was still excited and said casually: "Of course I know this, Master, don't worry! But what I want to say is, Zhuyan Guoye, we really found Zhuyan Guo, and I actually threw it away!"

Ding Qi: "Don't you throw it away. Isn't there any soup baths now? The prescription was prescribed by you, Master Tan. I guess he met it in the mountain. After reading "The Legend of Heaven", I realized what it was and returned to the mountain to pick it up."

Meng Huiyu's eyes lit up: "Master, can we go back too..." When she said this, she found that Ding Qi's expression was a little wrong, and was looking at her with a scrutiny look. She came to her senses and quickly lowered her head and said, "Master, am I too greedy?"

Ding Qi: "Do you really want to go back and pick the fruit of the stagnant?"

Meng Huiyu said in a weak voice: "I don't mean that, nor do I have the ability."

They walked in the mountains for twenty-seven days before they saw the villages and found that the rushing fruit was on the thirteenth day. The mountains and fields were vast, so where could they find the place they had occasionally passed by? And they knew the place, with Meng Huiyu's ability, they would never be able to find it back by themselves, which was almost the same as seeking death.

Ding Qi: "Do you want me to go back and help you pick the fruit of the stagnant?"

Meng Huiyu waved her hand straight and said with a grievance: "Master, you misunderstood me. I have never had this idea. I just found this and felt very excited and a little regretful. We met it once, but we didn't know it at that time."

Ding Qi smiled: "I don't mean to blame you. It is natural for human beings to be moved when I see this kind of thing. I have never said some words before, but today I need to tell you. Things that are precious in heaven and earth focus on opportunities. Obtaining is blessing, but you should not force it. Forced it is probably a disaster.

Look at the records on this side. According to legend, Saint Tao Xin discovered the Guanyan Fruit three thousand years ago. Now it seems that this legend is true, but that brother Tao Tian did not record the location of the Guanyan Fruit. Do you know the reason? It is because he is afraid that too many people will search for it at any cost. This is definitely not a good thing."

Meng Huiyu: "Disciple understands, Master, you can really calm down! No matter what you encounter, you can analyze it so thoroughly."

Ding Qi: "The truth is not something that can be said and played when it's okay, but it's only useful when it's happening. This beauty fruit is indeed a good thing. Your Master Tan has picked it up and made it into medicine powder for us to bathe in a row for ten days. This is a blessing.

Before leaving here, it would not be a bad thing if you can pick some at the same time. But be careful not to cause the atmosphere here or even cause people to compete, it would be more than worth the loss."

Meng Huiyu: "Master is so good! Actually, what I mean is that if you have the opportunity to pick the fruit of the beauty, the master can give it to the master's wife. The master's wife will definitely be very happy and happy. No woman can resist such a gift!"

Ding Qi glanced at her: "Thank you for worrying about me! Have you finished reading this book? Show it to me after reading it, take the first volume."

When Meng Huiyu took out the book, her heart was full of admiration for her master. She was calm, too calm! When she heard such news about Tiandiqing, she still looked as usual, and she was indeed a master! Under the appearance, her reaction just now was so out of control and embarrassing.

What was Ding Qi thinking? How could he not be shocked, but it was not so obvious in front of his disciples. He was thinking just now, what would Xian Hao react when he discovered this kind of thing? I guess Meng Huiyu would be even more excited? Xian Hao might not have discovered the stagnant fruit in the mountains and fields, but she must have read the "Chen Kingdom of Heaven" and also met the prescription for the soup and bathing prescriptions prescribed by Tan Hanchuan.

Ding Qi closed his eyes and secretly looked at the heart plate with his soul, and analyzed the journey back to the place where the Jingyan Fruit grew. If his footwork was fast, it would no longer take as long as possible, but it would take at least half a month. In less than ten days, it was the time to reunite with Zhuang Mengzhou and others in the camp, and it was not easy to cause trouble now.

If Ding Qi has the ability to go back, it will be a difficult journey, full of dangers. What Meng Huiyu doesn't know is that the three of their disciples followed their master to travel through the mountains and ridges for nearly a month. It seems like a burden, but in fact it is very different from Ding Qi walking alone.

If Ding Qi had to walk alone in such a mountain for half a month, he would probably not be able to bear it. It would be a very difficult test and tempering, and it would be impossible to complete it if he had to be determined. Anyway, Tan Hanchuan has prescribed a prescription for the bathing medicine, and the Zhuyan Guoyao Powder has been delivered, so there is no need to force it deliberately. Let's talk about it before going back.

"The Legend of Heaven" does not record the ripening fruit from what month to what month it is, nor does it say that it will ripen once every few years, but it doesn't matter. As long as you can find a way to get out, the six days outside are almost equivalent to the year here... So the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to get out first.
