304. Teacher Ding’s research results
On Tuesday morning, at the regular working meeting of Fangwai Alliance, two of the most important issues in recent times were discussed. Since each company has representatives stationed in Nanxi Community, they always have private exchanges and often eat in the same cafeteria. If there is any major event, you don’t have to wait until the formal meeting to discuss it. Everyone has heard the news in advance.
But today's first issue is not among the two items planned in advance. It is a temporary episode, which is the matter of Wuxin Valley sending them to each Linggu yesterday. After everyone arrived, they expressed their gratitude, and then asked if they could buy more Linggu? The price of Wuhua Valley is not expensive, 100,000 per kilogram. There are those who are rich, such as the representative of Qiyan Realm, and they want to get one hundred kilograms first.
Shi and Yu told everyone with difficulty that they had finally transported out these spiritual valleys, so please taste them for free and experience their spiritual effects. Wuxin Valley provides at most 100 kilograms of spiritual valleys every year, and it is impossible to sell them to one. The so-called sales are symbolic. Wuxin Valley is more willing to use them to exchange specialties with other outside worlds.
Exchange of specialties is preferred. Of course, the so-called specialties are not ordinary things. They are all spiritual plants or treasures produced from outside the world. There is no need to explain these. You can buy them with money, but they can only be allocated according to the purchase needs of each company. It is impossible to satisfy them all.
Ma Xiao, the director of Jingsha Island, was also a member of the meeting. Hearing this, he thought about what specialties he had to exchange for, but he was disappointed to find that there was no one. Could it be that he used coconut crab? Unfortunately, coconut crab is not a specialty spirit. Ma Xiao is not sure about what happened recently in Jingsha Island, and he didn't know that Lu Juzi led the team to find Jingsha Baozhu. In fact, even if she knew it, it was useless. It was almost impossible to exchange for something like Jingsha Baozhu.
As for how to bring out your own specialties, that is another issue. It is difficult to discuss publicly at the meeting, so I can only discuss it with Alliance Leader Ding in private or ask Lu Yudong for help. As long as it is under the same conditions, most people are more willing to find Alliance Leader Ding.
Everyone asked how many spiritual valleys there are for sale in Wuxin Valley? Yan Binbin said that there are still fifteen kilograms, and then the purchase was completed on site within a few minutes. In addition to Jinshanyuan, Xiaojing Lake, Xiaochishan, Jiufangli Kongdao did not make a purchase request. Other companies divided the fifteen kilograms, and even Li Zhiyao purchased a share on behalf of Xiangshuifeng. In fact, these incomes were all from Zhuang Mengzhou, but Zhuang Mengzhou did not come forward and all handed over to Wuxin Valley for agency.
The acquisition of Linggu is just an episode, and the next thing to discuss is the major issue in the plan. First, another Fangwai World applied to join the alliance. This Fangwai World Tian Zhongluo had long mentioned it, called Chang Chengfu Land. Like Jingsha Island, only Tian Zhongluo wrote down the name of Chang Chengfu Land, so it also needs to be reviewed on the spot.
According to the feedback from Yang Fuzhu of Changcheng Blessing Land, the review time is set this week. At this meeting, we will agree to send three directors from different outside worlds to the Wulingyuan Scenic Area in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province. Of course, everyone wants to go to such things, but no matter what occasion, they have to be ranked. What is discussed here is not qualifications but qualifications.
This matter was contacted by Tian Zhongluo, and he was equivalent to the role of the guarantor, so Qiyanjing had to go to a director, of course, Tian Zhongluo himself. The second place was still the leader of the Ding, so there was no controversy. As for the third place, after discussion, everyone thought that they should choose between the two families, Wuxin Valley and Jingsha Island, and finally gave Jingsha Island.
The last time I went to Jingsha Island for on-site review, the three directors of the Fangwai Alliance Sect were Tian Zhongluo, Ding Qi, and Shui Ruo. The reason why Shui Ruo was able to review new members on behalf of Fangwai Alliance was because Xiangshui Peak opened the secret realm of heaven and earth. Now Jingsha Island has also opened the secret realm of heaven and earth, which is an act worthy of encouragement. Of course, there are also qualified to send representatives to review new members.
Jingsha Island has three directors in the Fangwai League, namely Ma Yuanling, Ma Xiao and Ma Yunxuan. Vice Chairman Yu Pengfei waved his hand on the spot and said, "My Master Tian means that Director Ma Xiao will go together, otherwise the two big men, Mr. Tian and Chairman Ding, would be too boring on the road, so I decided to do it!"
His words are also interesting. Can Tian Zhongluo decide which director to send to Jingsha Island? Why is it not the island leader Ma Yuanling? Tian Zhongluo did this to test, wanting to see if he speaks well. As a result, Jingsha Island did not go against Tian Zhongluo in this matter, and the final candidate was Ma Xiao.
The third review director was determined to be Ma Xiao, which happened that night after the meeting. The next issue was discussed at the venue, and a member discovered a new clue of the outside world. The name of this outside world was called Xiaoyang Kingdom according to ancient books. It may be located in Fang County, Hubei Province, in the north of the Shenlongjia Nature Reserve.
When the Fangwai Alliance was established, it determined the function of finding a new Fangwai world. The alliance headquarters established five functional departments, namely: the Administrative Department, under the jurisdiction of Vice Chairman Yu Pengfei; the Development Department, under the jurisdiction of Vice Chairman Yu Pengfei; the Audit Department, under the jurisdiction of Vice Chairman Ye Zongqing; the Activity Department, under the jurisdiction of Vice Chairman Shui Ruo; and the last department, under the jurisdiction of Chairman Ding Qi.
The main function of the research department is to collect and search for unknown external worlds that have not been discovered and occupied by no one in the world. If it can be found, it is also the research result of the Foreign Alliance. Then the Foreign Alliance decides how to share and develop this new external world.
The idea is very good, but it is actually very unreliable. Because based on the experience since ancient times, having the outer world must obtain the treasure of the control world and the corresponding secret method. It is an unknown outer world, where can I find these things?
The most important functional departments of the Fangwai Alliance are actually the Administration Department and the Development Department. The Executive Department is equivalent to the headquarters office, responsible for the daily affairs of the Fangwai Alliance. The Development Department is the most important business department. The main task is to absorb and review new members of the Fangwai World to join, and organize and summarize information and information from all parties.
From the structure of the Fangwai Alliance when it was established, it can be seen that the chairman Ding Qi was actually undermined. Since the other two vice chairman Shui Ruo and Ye Zongqing were not stationed in the headquarters, the executive vice chairman Yu Pengfei actually controlled the daily affairs of the Fangwai Alliance.
This is a framework created by Tian Zhongluo. Although the old fox has a good plan, the actual situation has not developed according to his vision. Ding Qi, the chairman who did not work at the headquarters, personally attended and presided over the regular work meeting every week. He first opened the Kingsoft Courtyard and expanded the scale of the meeting of the Fang Foreign Alliance, allowing all member representatives to attend and directly control the situation.
As for Yu Pengfei, the executive vice chairman who Tian Zhongluo was placed in the headquarters, it was equivalent to being overthrown by Ding Qi, which was equivalent to an office director. Those who are interested can also notice some very interesting details at this meeting. Everyone has unconsciously called Ding Qi the leader of the alliance, and only Yu Pengfei also called him Chairman Ding, paying great attention to his position.
The clues from Xiaoyang Kingdom this time were discovered by Piaohuatan and submitted to the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance. Since Ding Qi was in charge of the research department in name, this is what he should be responsible for.
The Xiaoyang Kingdom is recorded in many ancient books. "Shan Hai Jing. The Nan Jing of Hai Nei" says: "Xiaoyang Kingdom is west of Beiqu. Everyone has long lips, black bodies and hair, and they are backwards. When they see people laugh, they laugh and their left hand are in charge." There are records about the Xiaoyang Kingdom in later generations, mostly some wild stories, and they are related to savages, and many clues point to Shennongjia.
In the ancient context, savages also refer to people who were not educated in the mountains and fields. In the contemporary era, they completely became another meaning, referring to humanoid species that have not yet been discovered, a bit like ape man who has not yet fully evolved into humans. There were many names for this type of species in ancient times, such as mountain ghosts, manglasses, mountain mandrills, mountaindus, mukes, Gan Giants, Maoren, baboons, etc. They have a general term called Xiaoyang.
It should be pointed out that mandrill and baboon are now the names of two primates, but this was not the case in ancient times. These two words have long been found in ancient Chinese. When modern zoologists named species in Chinese, they borrowed these two words. What the ancient Chinese said did not refer to these two animals, but are what people call savages or legendary mountain monsters.
There have been many records of witnessing savages in the Shennongjia area since ancient times. In the Fang County Chronicle, there is also a passage: "Fangshan Mountain is high and dangerous and distant, with stone caves like houses, hairy people, more than meter long, and hairy all over the body." From the 1970s to the 1990s, the country organized many scientific research.
These scientific research cannot be said to have no results. Many indirect suspected evidence were found, such as suspicious hair, feces, nests, footprints, etc., but no real specimens were captured, so it was impossible to determine whether the savage existed. Regardless of whether the savage existed or not, it was driven by the development of the local tourism industry. From this perspective, the savages in Shennongjia are a bit like the Loch Ness monster.
In ancient times, there were many legends about Xiaoyang Kingdom and "Xiaoyang" and "Xiaoyang" and there are many controversies in the academic community today. Some people think that it is primates such as gorillas, and some people think that it is a South Asian black race, such as the Kunlun slaves mentioned in ancient times, but there is no clear conclusion.
Hua Zhaoqi, the master of Piaohuatan, was sorting out the notes and records left by ancestors of all generations, and even attached a map, which was suspected to be a record of another foreign world. Originally, these unofficial historical and rumors records were not true, and Hua Zhaoqi had no idea to look for, but after joining the foreign alliance, he felt that he could use the power of the entire alliance to explore.
So Piaohuatan provided the relevant information to the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance and expressed their ideas for everyone to discuss. As a result, the three families of Youhuaijie, Lu Yudong, and Wuxin Valley all reported that they also saw the content about Xiaoyang Kingdom in the letters left by the ancestor, but did not clearly mention that it was also a prescription outside world.
All the information was summarized here at Ding Qi, and today's meeting discussed this matter. After everyone studied it together, they felt that the information was not complete, and they recorded the miraculous legends of all dynasties. The ancestors of all regions of the world were also interested in these things. They recorded them casually when they heard rumors on weekdays.
Xiaoyang Kingdom is currently only suspected to be Fangwai World. Next, it needs to collect various information for analysis and confirmation. After you go back, you will find out whether the ancestors of all generations have also left relevant records. If there are more clues, Fangwai Alliance can organize a "scientific expedition team" to go to Shennongjia to try searching, but the current conditions are not mature.
In fact, if there is really an outside world called Xiaoyang Kingdom, everyone is not sure. If you take a step back, how can you find it even if this outside world exists? Can it be the ownerless secret realm of heaven and earth? Even if you find this outside world, without the treasure of the control world and the secret realm of heaven and earth, how can you enter?
These are all problems that need to be solved before we can talk about joint exploration and development. Let’s take a brainstorm at the meeting. Anyway, I am idle and I am free to read relevant information and express my opinions, and finally reached a preliminary consensus.
There is no need to rush to organize a scientific expedition team. The country has organized many special scientific expedition activities in the last century. First, through their respective relationships, we can get all these scientific expedition reports and detailed information records to see if we can find some suspicious clues from it. If we really find out, the Fang Foreign Alliance will organize an exploration team and it is best for each company to send representatives.
Why is it best for each school to send representatives? In addition to reflecting the principle of sharing, the Fangwai Alliance Research Department is not a waste of time. Through field investigations and exchanges with members of each school, Ding Qi has summarized some discovery rules in different Fangwai worlds. Because Ding Qi had long established Fangwai Secret Method, his current discovery is just a rediscovery that goes back.
Why do all the inheritances of the external worlds include at least one of the eight secret techniques of the Jianghu? The eight secret techniques of the Jianghu are said to be created by Emperor Qing Fuxi. In the era of Fuxi, there were no eight secret techniques of the Jianghu in later generations. The purpose of his creation of these eight secret techniques should not be to let his successors go to the Jianghu, make thresholds or even cheat, but to be used to go up and down the heaven and earth and explore the light.
Ignoring the secret techniques of the outside world, even if I have not obtained the treasure of the control world and the secret realm of heaven and earth, as long as I practice the eight secret techniques of the Jianghu Lake, I can still discover a specific outside world. This is a conclusion that Ding Qi and others have long confirmed, and later conducted more field investigations.
For example, the inheritance of Jinshan Academy should include Juemen Qi-seeing technique. Then practicing Juemen Qi-seeing technique can discover its portal and "see" the scenes in the secret realm through the portal. In addition to Juemen Qi-seeing technique, Ding Qi also found that it is also possible to promote the magic technique. However, other secret techniques such as the hidden art technique, the body viewing technique, the furnace and the cauldron technique, the micro-entry technique, and the heart plate technique have no effect, and the effect of the Lingxi technique is unknown.
As for Jiufangli Kongdao, in addition to the inheritance of the Boston-Starting Divine Arts, the Juemen Qi-Starting Technique can also be seen. The inheritance of the Big and Big Chishan also includes the Boston-Starting Divine Arts, which can also be discovered with the Juemen Qi-Starting Technique. There is a regularity among these three prescriptions, and the same two secret techniques are used in the outer world to induce and discover.
The secret method of Xiangshui Peak's inheritance includes the Fire Gate Furnace and Cauldron Technique. If you succeed in practicing the Furnace and Cauldron Technique, you can find its portal. The other secret techniques seem to be ineffective, and it is also unknown whether Lingxi Technique can be discovered.
The Wuxin Valley, which inherits the Piaomen Yin E art, can also discover its portal with the Fengmen Xinpan art.
The secret method of inheriting the Qin Gaotai world includes the art of watching the body of the Immen, and the secret method of Jingsha Island also includes the art of watching the body of the Immen. Through Ding Qi's field investigation, it can be discovered by using the Essays.
Now the general rule has been summarized, that is, no matter what kind of external world, at least one or two eight secret techniques can be found, as long as the correct location is found.
Ding Qi also understood why Zhu Jingyi called Xiaojing Lake "the pure model of the Fangwai World" in "Fangwai Tu Zhi", because no matter which secret technique is practiced in the eight major sects of the Jianghu, you can discover its portals, and its characteristics are balanced and not biased.
Then if there is an unknown external world, you must first determine its general location. When searching, it is best to call all the descendants of the eight secret techniques of the Jianghu Lake. There is always a secret technique to adapt to it. After finding the portal, then try to find its inheritance based on new clues. If its inheritance is still there, at least you must find the treasure of the control world. These are the results of everyone's discussion.
The regular meeting discussion ends here, and then the meeting goes to the cafeteria for dinner. Ma Xiao may be the most popular director of Fangwai Alliance, who is now based in Nanqi Community, because she has opened a five-star standard canteen for everyone and provides convenient life services. Xian Hao is not willing to Ding Qi go to the cafeteria for dinner, and always does it at home.
When he went out, Ding Qi called Fei Laiming, the director who was stationed in Piaohuatan, and asked privately: "The most important clue about Xiaoyang Kingdom at present is the ancient map found by the Lord of Guitan. According to the Lord of Huatan, it is believed that it is the terrain of Fang County, Hubei Province. There is a cinnabar red dot that marks the location of Xiaoyang Kingdom. Can I borrow the original ancient map to view it?"
It is said that it was a map of the Song Dynasty. Of course, the original is very precious and must be kept carefully. It is impossible to get it at the meeting for everyone to pass it on. Piaohuatan provides high-definition photos. But this picture is the most important clue. Without it, other records are actually not valuable, so Ding Qi must get the original to determine the authenticity.
Fei Laiming smiled and said, "The Lord of Huatan had long thought that Alliance Leader Ding might ask for the original. He had sent someone to me. I would send it to Alliance Leader Ding's home after turning around."
Ding Qi: "How can I be so embarrassed? I will go with you now."
