237, Bamboo Festival Wine and Dream Flowers
All members of Fangwaimen gathered in Jinshanyuan again. The date was April 5th, the first day of the Qingming Festival. Zhu Shanxian, Tan Hanchuan, and Zhuang Mengzhou left that night. They all had families and careers. They finally had a short holiday and could not always stay in the barren mountains and ridges of Fangwai world. The other nine people and a sparrow stayed in Jinshanyuanyuan for two days and did not leave until the afternoon of April 7th.
During this period, A Quan also took Shang Ni and five younger disciples out and went to the nearby Zhangfang Town to buy a lot of things. In addition to various daily necessities, there was also a large iron pot and two iron pots.
There is a stove in the firewood in the backyard of Kingsoft Courtyard, but the pot has been rusted for a long time. If you want to fire here, you have to change the kettle. As for the kettle, many people have never seen it. There are many styles. A Quan made it for the stove. There are not only a large iron pot on the old-fashioned large stove, but also two very deep iron pots on the two corners near the side of the fire mouth, which are specially used for boiling hot water.
When cooking, boil the water to drink. Even after cooking, the embers in the stove can heat up the water, wash your face and burn your feet, etc. This is also the earliest way to save energy. It is not easy for A Quanneng to find all this thing.
Shi Buquan retouched the stove and then processed the pot and kettle to make it anti-rust and durable. Ding Qi really admired A Quan. How did he practice these skillful hands? Shi Buquan is no longer just skillful. He can also change the properties of the objects while processing. He can simply be called the weapon refiner in the novel.
The "Beast Country Tourism Base" has been basically prepared, and the door can be opened to welcome guests and entertain the beasts from all over the world. As for what they lack when they come in to visit, Ding Qi can also notify the guests to prepare themselves. When they left this time, there was another new member of Fangwaimen, and Xiaoqiao firmly asked to follow everyone to go out to see the world.
Now there is no problem to take Xiaoqiao out. The question is how to practice after Xiaoqiao goes out? Ding Qi can teach Xiaoqiao only the secret method of the square outside, leaving a divine mind seal. But Xiaoqiao is not a human after all, and it is difficult to sacrifice and refine Jingwen stone to support the mind. It can’t bring a stone with him every day, right? Could it be that he is wearing a small dress and sewed a bag?
Everyone was very interested in the "Xiao Qiao came out of the mountain" and provided various suggestions. Finally, there was a reliable solution. Shi Buquan specially created a silver ring for Xiao Qiao, put it on its legs and neck, and the surface was processed, and the dark patterns on the silver lithography were removed, making it impossible to see at a glance.
This ring is elastic and will not fall off when it becomes smaller and smaller. This is also inspired by the two realms rings and the dry bone knife. Isn’t the two realms rings just like this? Xian Hao did not use Jing Wenshi to practice the secret method of Fangwai, but used the dry bone knife he always carried with him.
Strictly speaking, Xiao Qiao should be the one of Tu Zhi and others... Although Ding Qi taught it secret methods, more things were taught by Xian Hao. Now he has been instilled with many human thoughts by his fellow disciples. If from the perspective of human beings, Xiao Qiao is still naive and ignorant and has a very erratic personality, but from the perspective of a sparrow, it is already extremely smart.
Ding Qi also conducted an experiment and opened the portal with the treasure of the world of control, asking Xiaoqiao if she could see the outside world and fly out by herself. As a result, Xiaoqiao flapped her wings and went out like this, and she didn't need to climb rocks like everyone else. Xiaoqiao was not taken out by Ding Qi, and Ding Qi didn't have the feeling of splitting his body and spirit.
Ding Qi confirmed a judgment from this that if you want to bring out things from the outside world, the best way is to let them go out by themselves! Xiaoqiao can go out because it has self-awareness and will. Wei Fanting also walked out of Da Chi Mountain in the beginning.
Tu Zhi and Wei Fanting flew directly to Shenzhen, Shang Ni returned to Hangzhou, and the rest took the high-speed train to Jinghu at Beijing South Railway Station. How did a sparrow get on the bus? Xiaoqiao didn't need to buy a ticket to enter the station. When everyone was waiting for the bus on the platform, Xiaoqiao flew in from outside and cleverly got into Xian Hao's pocket, not even attracting the attention of others.
Ding Qi reminded Xiaoqiao to have many things. There are many dangers outside the world that it did not know before. For example, when you see a gun or a slingshot, you must stay away, and be careful of dogs and cats when playing in the green belt.
Xiao Qiao grew up in the wilderness and had an intuitive reaction to judging dangers. It told Ding Qi that with his current ability, an ordinary dog is no match for it at all. Ding Qi also told him not to cause trouble. The identity of a sparrow is the best cover. It comes outside mainly for further study.
So when will Xiaoqiao return to the beast kingdom? Either practice the secret techniques outside the Fang'e realm, or other secret techniques can break through the third realm. As for how Xiaoqiao's cultivation can break through the third realm, Ding Qi is not the Demon Sect Cheng Tianle in the novel, so he is not very clear about this, but he can know it when the time comes.
Xiaoqiao can't speak yet, and can only chirp. What's amazing is that Ding Qi can already understand its cry, and Xian Hao and others can roughly understand its meaning. This does not mean that everyone has learned to sing birds, but a subconscious sense, because in the beast country, everyone has heard its cry, accompanied by corresponding thoughts.
After bringing Xiaoqiao out, Ding Qi clearly realized that the trial in the beast country had another meaning. If it took a long time, it might be able to speak the beasts. This does not mean that they can really understand the beasts' words. The beasts themselves do not have the language like humans, but they can feel the emotions and wishes expressed by various beasts.
This is already amazing, but it requires long-term exercise to form a direct thinking reaction in the subconscious.
What does this mean? It is the prototype of divine thought communication! If a person's spiritual consciousness has undergone such training before breaking through the Great Achievement cultivation, then after he breaks through the Great Achievement cultivation, he can master and use divine thoughts faster and better.
Ding Qi himself was in this situation, and no master taught him that after his secret technique was able to break through the Hope Qi realm, his mastery and application of divine thoughts was natural. On the one hand, this is because of his experience in the Delusion Realm, and on the other hand, it is because he had similar trials in the Beast Kingdom.
That night, Ding Qi, Xian Hao and Shi Buquan returned to Nanxi Community, and Zhu Shanxian was already at home. Everyone told Xiaoqiao that he could go to the forest park behind to play on weekdays, but he should pay attention to safety and come home if he had anything to do. Xiaoqiao was also a secret whistle to help Ding Qi and others pay attention to the abnormal movements around him.
The headquarters of Fangwai Alliance has been completed, and the office is the small building opposite Zhu Shan’s family. Vice Chairman Yu Pengfei is in charge of daily work. His office is the master bedroom on the second floor. There are three other rooms on the second floor, one is the information room, one is the finance room, the other is the administrative office, and downstairs is a large conference hall, with four desks in the corner.
In addition to Yu Pengfei's permanent headquarters, Qiyanjing sent another financial and administrative staff. In addition to Yan Binbin, another person was sent to Wuxin Valley. As one of the founders of the alliance, Baiyun Cave also sent a staff member. Xian Hao had already been sent to Xiaojinghu. Xiaojinghu did not send staff to the headquarters, but Ding Qi and others installed Shi Buquan again.
The ability to install staff at the headquarters is a benefit of being the founder. The people from Xiangshui Peak were also sent, namely Li Zhiyao, nicknamed Xiao Yao, a man in his thirties, looks upright and kind.
The headquarters of Fangwai Alliance does not have much daily affairs, so it does not require too many permanent personnel. The planned staffing is ten, and now nine people are on duty. There is still a quota missing. Everyone is tacitly informed and it is left to the Chairman Ding Qi to arrange it.
Among the six founders of the alliance, if Shibuquan is counted as the quota of Xiaojing Lake, then each family will have at least one person, including Qiyanjing, and Wuxin Valley. Ding Qi, at least, has the title of chairman, should arrange another one. Even if it is just a small unit, some rules still need to be paid attention to.
But Ding Qi really can't draw out his own people now, so let's just stay empty first, and the nine staff members are enough now.
There were far more than nine people from all over the world gathered near the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance. On the night when I returned to Nanqi Community, Zhu Shanxian told Ding Qi that six more small buildings in this community had been re-sold in the past two weeks, and the new landlords came from six newly joined Fangwai World.
It seems that these people’s ideas are the same as Wuxin Valley, which is to set up a place here to facilitate future exchanges. Now the price of these small buildings is about 3 million yuan per building, so you can buy it when you say it. It seems that the financial strength is OK! Ding Qi asked curiously, he has joined seven new members, and six of them have bought small buildings. So who didn’t buy it?
The answer was a bit unexpected. It was actually Jiufangli Kongdao, the biggest move before.
Nanqi Community is built at the foot of the mountain. It is not large in scale. There are four rows of small buildings in front and behind, with each row of fifteen buildings in total forty-five buildings. There are three buildings on Dingqi's side, one in Fangwai Alliance headquarters, one in Wuxin Valley, Qiyan Realm, and Baiyun Cave. Now six Fangwai World have bought one, and thirteen buildings have become industries in all corners of the outside world.
Ding Qi even thought to himself that if more members of the alliance will be involved in this way in the future, will Nanqi Community become Fangwai Community? All those who move in are their own people! That's good, it's easier to do anything and is conducive to keeping confidentiality.
After getting up, after breakfast, the whole community became noisy. Several small buildings were being renovated, each row was in the process of making a lot of noise. Although Ding Qi was not on duty at the headquarters, he lived next to him and walked a few steps in the morning.
Mr. Ding Qi, Chairman, met with all the working members of the headquarters to express his cordial care and greetings. Of course, he had something else to do here and checked various information provided by existing members of the alliance. In addition to Jinshanyuan and Xiaojing Lake, other eleven other foreign worlds should be seen with their own eyes, and there are also confidential information provided by Xiangshuifeng.
Public-level information is also very important. Only the alliance directors have the right to check it. The content is similar to the expected Ding Qi. Everyone just gave the simplest introduction and description of their respective outside worlds, but this information is also difficult to obtain through other channels. For example, Ding Qi learned that Qiyanjing is in Cangnan County, Zhejiang Province, Baiyun Cave is in Xianyou County, Fujian Province, Xiangshui Peak is in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province, and Wuxin Valley is in the northern suburbs of Dali City, Yunnan Province...
As for the Jiufangli Kong Island, which Ding Qi is most interested in, it is actually in Mount Emei, Sichuan. The information provided by the public-level materials is so simple. Even if you tell you the approximate regional scope, such a large place cannot be found without knowing where the portal is, unless you miss the opportunity to walk there.
These materials are placed in a specially made file bag and are in the safe in the data room on the second floor of the headquarters. Shi Buquan is responsible for purchasing these data safes. They not only have passwords, but also need to be opened with two keys at the same time. The password is in Pengfei's hands, and Yan Binbin and Li Zhiyao are in charge of one key, and the three of them can only obtain the information.
According to regulations, he could only check the curtains in the information room, and could not be taken away or copied and taken photos. Ding Qi kept it in mind. After reading the public information from each company, he applied to check Xiangshuifeng's confidential information. The confidential information and the public information were stored separately. The seemingly ordinary kraft paper file bag actually had another agency.
If an unknown insider stolen the information and check it without authorization, as long as you open the file bag, a fireball will explode. Not only will the information turn into ashes, but the person who peeks at it will either die or be injured.
While Ding Qi was sitting there checking confidential information, Yu Pengfei, Yan Binbin, Li Zhiyao and other three stood opposite him to supervise, but they could not peek. It was not until Ding Qi finished checking and put the file bag back into the cabinet and locked it, and everyone left together.
Xiangshuifeng's confidential information is indeed full of sincerity and introduced a lot of valuable information. After all, Xiangshuifeng also plans to open it to members of the alliance. If you want to visit Xiangshuifeng, you must first check this information. The review fee is 100,000 yuan or exchange it with the right to access the information. You can't just write something to fool people.
The total area of Xiangshui Peak is about 300 square kilometers. Although it cannot be compared with Xiaojing Lake and Qingaotai, it is quite large, at least much larger than the Big and Small Chishan Mountains. Cui Shanhai also specially drew a brief map, indicating the main tourist areas and routes of Xiangshui Peak. From the portal to the main peak of Xiangshui Peak, the road to the south is rugged and steep, but the scenery is the most beautiful.
Cui Shanhai also marked the main attractions along the way and the ruins left by his ancestors, which are worth seeing, but he also emphasized that if it were not for his extraordinary skills, ordinary people would not be able to get up to the front mountain. So Cui Shanhai developed another route, and went around the gentle area of the back mountain to the ridge next to the top of the peak. From here there is a small road down the mountain, there are also many scenic views along the way, and there is another place to rest.
Ding Qi was happy when he saw this picture. It is estimated that Cui Shanhai and his family went out to play a lot. They opened Xiangshui Peak according to the idea of the scenic tourist area, and even developed two visiting routes.
The information also introduces two specialties of Xiangshui Peak. The most important one is called Jiuzhu, also known as Xiangshui bamboo. Because there are places where Jiuzhu grows, you will definitely hear the sound of running water. This bamboo is as thick as a bowl, very similar to Momoji bamboo. However, according to the investigation by Cui Shanhai, a scientific researcher, it is not Momoji bamboo, but another perennial grass family plant.
I have never seen this variety outside, and I don’t know what its name is. The names of wine bamboo and Xiangshui bamboo are both left by ancestors of Xiangshui Peak. The reason why it is called this is because a natural wine can be produced in the bamboo joints. After many generations of observations and research, if a certain section of the bamboo shows a special color and texture, then cut this section of the bamboo and cut it open and a unique wine slurry will flow out.
Cui Shanhai also made a test. The alcohol content is not high, and the alcohol content is about octave to 16 degrees, but it is quite intoxicating when you drink it. Ordinary people almost pour one cup. Cui Shanhai's alcohol content is not bad. After seeing the records of his ancestors, he tried the bamboo-joint wine for the first time. As a result, after drinking two cups, he got drunk after drinking less than one or two taels.
He was drunk for two days and one night, but fortunately nothing happened. He didn't know Shui Ruo at that time, and of course Xiaoxi was not born. There was no one else in Xiangshui Peak, but there were ferocious birds and beasts, leopards, black bears, and wild boars.
After waking up safely, according to Cui Shanhai's recollection, the wine was so delicious. He had the most wonderful dream in his life. As for what kind of dream it was, he didn't say... Seeing this, the introduction in the information was changed to Shui Ruo's tone, and a supplement was made.
According to Shui Ruo's inquiry, Cui Shanhai dreamed of her at the beginning. The two of them didn't know each other at that time. How could Cui Shanhai dream of Shui Ruo? According to Cui Shanhai's confession, after he saw Shui Ruo, he found out that she was the dreamer... As for whether this is the case, anyway, Cui Shanhai said so, Shui Ruo actually believed it.
The couple is really interesting. This confidential document was written by them. The reason why Cui Shanhai was so drunk at that time was not only because of Jiujiezhu, but also related to another specialty of Xiangshui Peak, which is called Mengshenghua.
At first glance, Mengshenghua looks like daylily flowers, and it is also a five-flag petal, but it is seven-colored. The edges of the petals are bright red. The more you go to the center of the flower, the shorter the wavelength of the light reflected, and the most purple stamen in the middle is collected. Collect these stamens, process them with secret techniques, and then soak them in a certain proportion of bamboo wine for a month, and the wine will turn into rose red.
Although the alcohol content of the bamboo joint wine treated in this way has not deepened, the alcohol intensity has increased sharply. According to the ancestors' records, it is enough to drink one sip at a time, which will help the practice of the furnace and cauldron technique and will promote the fusion of the heart, fire, and kidney water. For example, the lead and mercury mentioned in some alchemy techniques enter the furnace and produce large medicine, which transforms true qi into the purple palace Huangting...
In other words, this wine is consumed in one sip, and it takes an hour to resolve the medicine. But Cui Shanhai drank a little too much and drank it all. He thought it was very good and took a second sip, and then he got drunk.
Cui Shanhai and Xiangshuifeng's ancestors have of course studied Mengshenghua. Cui Shanhai finally concluded that Mengshenghua plants contain a kind of fungus that has a strong hallucinogenic effect, with the most ingredients in the stamens. If a person eats Mengshenghua, it feels like a cat licking catnip.
Zhujie wine is an antidote. Soaking the stamens in a certain proportion of the wine will dissolve this medicinal properties, but it produces another kind of spiritual effect, which can assist in the practice of the furnace and cauldron technique. What if it is not the person who practices the furnace and cauldron technique? Cui Shanhai believed that it can give people a special spiritual pleasure through personal practice, but it must not be used too much.
As for what is the use of those who practice other secret techniques? Cui Shanhai believes that it may be helpful, but he did not explain it in detail in this information, and he may not be very clear about it, and he still needs to verify it through practice.
