159. The Valley Holds the Yellow Field
159, the valley hugs the yellow fields
After Zhang Wangxiong left, Ding Qi asked in a sweat: "Mr. Zhuang, why did you bring so many gold coins?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "This is not my own. I just took down Lao Zhu and Lao Tan's together."
When they left Qingaotai World, they could not take away the original things in that world, but there was one thing that could be gold. Qingaotai World had copper mines, and copper mines were also accompanied by gold mines, but the output was extremely low and it was negligible. A large amount of gold was brought in by the original remnants of the Taiping Army.
The Taiping Army looted many wealthy families back then, and the remnants also swept away a large amount of treasures when they retreated from Tianjing. Ten thousand years later, only gold remained and became the circulating currency of the Kingdom of Heaven. In the Heavenly Kingdom Market, a gold coin the size of a five-cent steel steak could be bought. When they left, each of them brought a handful of gold coins.
These gold coins were given away by major camps, just pocket money on the road. It shows your feelings and is the only thing that Brother Zhongtian can take away. If the price of gold outside, everyone would bring about more than 300,000 yuan worth of gold. Today, Zhang Wangxiong came to the door and happened to use these gold to get the hook.
Ding Qi sighed again and said, "Brother Zhang Wang is not right, but he can only beat him up."
Zhu Shanxian: "If he hadn't broke into the door by himself, it would be inconvenient to even beat him up."
Shang Ni: "Senior Brother Tan is very good at making trouble. He will definitely make enemies today."
Xian Hao sneered: "Don't you make enemies without taking action? He was watching us and was already making trouble. At least it was a warning and a deterrent to tell him not to do anything randomly, otherwise we would do something randomly."
Zhu Shanxian: "Since this man dares to come, he knows that we can't do anything to him. It's really hard to move casually with his identity. He must have made preparations before he comes. It's unexpected to be beaten, and everything cannot be expected by him. Mr. Zhuang, can his ID and identity be real?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "They have already revealed the things, but it is clear that they are not afraid of you checking them. Can you verify them?"
Zhu Shanxian: "It's very difficult to check. At least Baidu can't find information about such units and personnel. It's a taboo to investigate such departments in private. If you don't do it well, you'll be stared at by the official and you're asking for trouble. I guess he really works in a confidentiality agency, and may be a department leader. Since this is the case, it doesn't matter if the certificate is authentic or not."
Zhuang Mengzhou: "Since that's the case, who will you go to Huangtian Ancient Village?"
Shanni: "Can he bite the hook?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "If we find out that we are going again, someone will definitely bite the hook, but it is unlikely that it is him. Pay attention to the small blackboard written by Teacher Ding in the afternoon? The point is the fourth article. This person is likely to be connected to certain social groups. This is not the first time he has done this. Those who are in that position will definitely use and control many people to do things for him, and he clearly has thought about using and controlling us."
Shangni: "Can you only find someone he has used or done for him privately?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "This is also a discovery! Since he can come to test us, we can also test him... Let's talk about it, who will go?"
Shangni: "I'll go!"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "If you can't do it, no one can rest assured."
Shangni: "Don't you like traveling around the mountains and rivers the most? Take me with you!"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "I haven't had time lately and I'm busy. You don't have time either. It's time to go back to school to prepare for the final exam."
Why did they take out the gold and mention the ancient tower ruins of Huangtian Village? People are always willing to believe what they believe. If Ding Qi and others insisted that they were going out for a trip, Zhang Wangxiong would not believe it at all. In this case, he would believe what he believed and let him see.
They had to "re-" go to Huangtian Ancient Village and send a signal that makes people think that the things there were not enough time to take away, and there might be more precious treasures. In the end, everyone agreed that Ding Qi and Xian Hao would go together, and they were a couple on a trip. Ding Qi also had to make money in class, so the time was set for the weekend.
On the afternoon of January 5, Ding Qi went to Xiaochishan Park. He first went to Dachishan to meet Wei Fanting, and then waited for Tu Zhi to come. He privately advised the two disciples to leave. Now the two of them are living a good life, and Ding Qi doesn't need to worry too much. As for how they practice, as long as they are satisfied.
Think about it, what is the purpose of cultivation? Tu Zhi and Wei Fanting have now achieved their original purpose. Walking out of the park and meeting Xian Hao in the parking lot outside the door, Ding Qi asked: "Have you found anyone following me?"
Xian Hao shook his head and said, "No."
Ding Qi was not here alone today, Xian Hao was followed behind him. If there were other followers, it would be difficult to escape Xian Hao's eyes. Ding Qi smiled and said, "It seems that technical monitoring is popular now."
Xian Hao handed Ding Qi's cell phone that he handed back to her and said, "I'll drive, you can sit in the back."
Ding Qi: "How can you be so embarrassed? You act like a leader, and you will take a driver when you go out."
Xian Hao: "Stop being slick, hurry up!"
I set off at 8 o'clock in the morning, drove for three hours, and arrived at Huangtian Ancient Village at 11 o'clock in the afternoon. Nowadays, many well-known ancient towns and ancient villages have been developed into tourist attractions, and Huangtian Ancient Village is no exception, but it also has different places.
The ancient villages in this mountain almost completely maintain the original appearance of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and did not expand or renovate many modern antique buildings like other ancient villages and towns. There are also many modern houses mixed in large areas of ancient buildings, and they have not been demolished and renovated. This is what a village that has lived in for generations should look like.
The ancient village is built on the mountain and water, and is almost invisible outside, because there is a Xiangshan and a Shishan on both sides, like a pair of arms wrapped around you. Not far from the entrance of the valley is the entrance of the village, and the road built now also passes through here. There is a parking lot and a ticket office at the entrance of the village, which costs 40 yuan per ticket. Ding Qi and Xian Hao honestly paid for the ticket to enter the village, and found a place to have lunch first.
During the meal, Xian Hao asked, "This place is not far from your hometown mountain village, right?"
Ding Qi: "I have to climb several mountains, but they are all in the same county. Where can I go far?"
Xian Hao: "This is a natural village. I have to buy tickets when I enter the village. I still have to collect forty-one tickets. I don't think there are many people."
Ding Qi: "Charges are also a kind of protection, allowing villagers to realize the value of this place and what their ancestors left behind? The maintenance costs cannot be entirely relied on government funding, and the ticket revenue is at least enough for the staff's salary.
This place is too remote and not well-known. It cannot be seen with Zhouzhuang and Mudu. It is an ancient village. In fact, there are many similar villages in the Jiangnan area, but it is really special. Look at it and you will know!"
Xian Hao: "I have never heard of this place before. Information from the Internet era is too developed, and almost anything can be found, but it also forms a focus effect. The more attention the place is, the more lively it is, and the less famous it is convenient and deserted, unless it can be stir-fried."
After the meal, the two spent money to invite a local tour guide and took them to the village to visit. The village is not big, with more than a hundred families, but there are many deep courtyards. Such a small village has produced many talents. There were governors and Hanlins here in the Qing Dynasty, industrialists and musicians here in modern times, and academicians from the Academy of Engineering.
This place is like a paradise. It rarely suffers from natural disasters and wars in history. Even the Japanese devils of that year have not been fought. The last time they suffered war was that they were occupied by the Taiping Army in the late Qing Dynasty.
Walking along the stream into the village, the banks of the stream next to it, including the riverbed, are made of large pieces of stone. This was a very large project in ancient times, and it took countless years to complete it. Many of the high-rise courtyards in the village have been inhabited by people for hundreds of years and have been continuously repaired and preserved to this day.
The ancient village in the deep mountains is too remote. Nowadays, many young people go out to work. After it is marked as a scenic spot, more residents have been preserved. They still live in these houses that are historical treasures. The most distinctive thing in Huangtian Ancient Village is the ancient flower tiles of Huizhou, with white cloud-like patterns. It is like a so-called contemporary nanomaterial, with its characteristic that it is not grey.
When the tour guide introduced this, he asked Xian Hao and Ding Qi to reach out to touch the ancient courtyard wall, but it was indeed not ashen. Of course, this may also be related to the local air.
The most famous local attractions is a relatively independent building complex outside the village, called the Yangboat, which was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that a father and son of an industrialist have been doing business in the sea one after another, but their mother has never left Huangtian Village. When his son came home, he talked about the good ocean boats outside, but the mountains are deep, the road is far away and the traffic is inconvenient.
The Zhu family and his son built a house in the local area, which looked like a narrow steamer, covering an area of more than 4,200 square meters. The bow of the boat was aimed at a trickle, and the water flowed through both sides of the hull. When they walked into the foreign boathouse to visit, Ding Qi also noticed that the ancient stone carvings such as the eight-sided stone carvings were extremely exquisite.
After coming out of the foreign boathouse, there is an observation deck on the hillside of Xiangshan outside the village. From here, you can see the full view of the foreign boathouse and Huangtian Village. Outside the village are layered terraces with small slopes, extending from the hillside to the entrance of the village. The tour guide ended here, and it was an hour before and after. Ding Qi said thank you, and they would take a walk by themselves next.
After the tour guide left, Ding Qi and Xian Hao walked down the observation deck and walked through the fields, climbing Huangzi Mountain behind the village. There is also an abandoned ancient building at the foot of Huangzi Mountain, which is far away from the village and has been a long time ago. The traces should be destroyed by a fire. No one came to this place, so it was forgotten in the mountains.
Ding Qi just asked the tour guide if there is an ancient tower in Huangzi Mountain? The tour guide has heard of it, but has never seen it before. It had collapsed many years ago or was struck by lightning. According to the old people, in the early years, you could see a high tower in the mountain in the village, but you could not find the road to walk under the tower.
When the two climbed the mountain, Xian Hao wondered: "I have never heard of this mountain building a temple. Who would build a lonely tower on the deep mountain cliff?"
Ding Qi: "This is indeed very strange. It may be the Feng Shui Tower or the legendary demon-suppressing tower. There is no record in history and the tower has long disappeared. No locals have seen it before, so of course they can't explain it clearly."
There was no road in the mountains and the terrain was steep. The two of them didn't know where the tower was, and they were not sure whether it was, so they could only climb aimlessly, but they looked like they had already been purposeful.
In the dense forest near the top of the mountain, Ding Qi said: "I heard that there are wild boars and occasionally leopards."
Xian Hao: "I brought a knife, but you didn't bring a stick."
Ding Qi took out his cell phone and said, "There is no signal at all."
Xian Hao: "There are signals in the village and at the foot of the mountain. If Zhang Wangxiong uses the official monitoring system to track us, he knows that the mobile phone number can be located, and he also knows that we are here."
Ding Qi: "Then we have completed the task now."
Xian Hao: "Since you are here, try to find it. The legend will not be without basis, and the ruins of the ancient tower should be in this area."
Ding Qi closed his eyes and said, "You can't look around if you want to find it. I have observed the terrain of this area. If the ancients built a tower in a mountain with such a steep terrain, they would definitely choose to lay the foundation or open up a platform. And according to the terrain, they should be able to find a way to transport materials.
This road should have been abandoned long ago, covered by plants and trees, and many areas may be destroyed by water, so modern people cannot find a way to the bottom of the tower. But as long as you pay attention to observation, you can still find traces. Think about it according to the ancients' ideas, if we also wanted to build a high tower in the mountain, what kind of place should we choose?"
Xian Hao: "Teacher Ding is worthy of being able to cultivate the state of mind. Where do you think such a place is?"
Ding Qi: "There are about three places, let's look at them one by one. The most likely place is not far ahead."
