248、Beauty
Ding Qi and Cui Shanhai walked out of the stone chamber. Xian Hao was standing not far away to see the scenery. Hearing footsteps, he turned his head and asked, "What little secrets are you talking about? It took so long to come out?"
Cui Shanhai quickly said, "I just asked the Lord Ding to answer some questions, which benefited me a lot!"
Ding Qi simply sent a divine thought and told Xian Hao what the private conversation was. The others also came over when they heard the news. Shui Ruo asked, "Husband, what are you going to eat tonight? Should we make it here or go to the villa?"
Zhuang Mengzhou interrupted: "Whatever you eat doesn't matter, just have bamboo wine!"
Cui Shanhai pondered: "If you drink bamboo wine here, it will be difficult to go down the mountain. You still have to go to the other courtyard. The road is a bit far and it is not too early. I am afraid that it will be a bit hard to go on the road, so I won't have time to cook at that time."
Ding Qi took out a wooden box and said, "Master Cui Feng, it doesn't matter if you don't have time to cook. We are not afraid of rushing to the road. There is a box of Jade Hoof Pills here, which can be taken by each person. It can not only help to keep hunger, but also help nourish muscles and bones..."
This box is made of Demon King Wood, slightly smaller than an ordinary mobile phone, but much thicker. After opening it, it contains fifteen jade hoof pills. Cui Shanhai and others obviously had never seen this thing before, so Ding Qi introduced its spiritual effects.
Cui Shanhai was overjoyed: "There is such a good thing. Master Ding is so generous. I will taste one first!" As he said that, he reached out to pick up one and asked, "How do you eat it?"
Ding Qi smiled and said, "It's like eating sugar beans, then sit and adjust your breath for a while to melt the medicinal power. Then it's best to exercise appropriately to relax your muscles and bones, which is just right for you to rush through after eating."
Cui Shanhai ate the Jade Hoof Pill without saying a word, and then found a place to sit upright to exercise his skills. Ye Zongqing was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he came over and took three, ate one by himself, and said to Yan Binbin and Shi Heyu: "Each of you can get one too, thank you Master Ding!"
Yan Binbin and Shi Heyu each took one, thanked Ding Qi, and found a stone room to sit down and practice. Zhu Shanxian and others also ate one, and looked for a place to sit down nearby.
Just eat sugar beans, chew them and then swallow them. If you are an ordinary person, you may only feel full or have no feeling. If a monk sits in a state of concentration and practices to transform the medicinal power, a cool feeling will spread throughout his body. At this time, get up and exercise properly, and the cool feeling will become warm again, just like wandering around the whole body nourishing muscles and bones, making people feel very energetic.
Cui Shanhai was the first to take Yutu Dan and the first to get up. After a while, everyone gathered again. Cui Shanhai waved his hand and said, "I feel full of strength now, let's go!"
Shui Ruo reminded: "Don't forget to bring bamboo wine."
The processed bamboo wine is stored in a stone chamber here. It is not filled with bamboo wine, but sealed in porcelain bottles. Cui Shanhai took two bottles into his backpack, brought a machete, and led everyone to set off again.
Looking at Cui Shanhai's appearance, Ding Qi and others smiled and looked at each other. Why was Ye Zongqing a little surprised just now? Because Cui Shanhai was the first to take Yutu Dan, and it was very happy.
Someone took out a spiritual medicine that he had never seen before and introduced its effectiveness. Cui Shanhai took it in person without saying a word. This was a very calm attitude, which showed that after the two of them had a secret conversation from the stone chamber, Cui Shanhai had completely trusted Ding Qi.
Leaving the cave group at the height of the main peak, he still went back to the cave and returned on the same road. He came to the side of Shanglongtan Lake. Cui Shanhai looked at the sky and said, "We have to speed up our journey, otherwise we might not be able to get in the other courtyard before dark."
They had climbed to the top of the cliff from the left side of the waterfall, and turned around the lake for half a circle, then drilled into the rocky cave to go up. After returning to the lake, they turned around the lake for another half circle and came to the right side of the waterfall. There is a forest trail here, which is much easier to walk on than before.
Walking along the path, the terrain was basically wandering halfway up the mountain, and Ding Qi saw the dream flowers again. The setting sun shone, and most of the thumb bees had returned to the nest. Ding Qi also saw the thumb bees' bees' nest in the forest in the distance. These bees were oval, like super-large winter melons hanging among towering trees.
Going further forward, they heard the sound of gurgling water. They passed several streams, left the area where Mengshenghua was distributed, and entered the continuous bamboo forest. The surroundings were Xiangshui bamboo, which looked very similar to bamboo at first glance, but the bamboo leaves were much wider than bamboo, a bit like a smaller rice dumpling leaf.
Cui Shanhai was very familiar with the situation in this area. He knew where, which bamboo was, and how many years there were in it. During the walk, he entered the bamboo forest and cut several sections. The spiritual effect of the Jade Hoof Pill was extraordinary, and it was not easy for everyone. Although he had been walking on the mountain road for almost a day, his steps were still light and healthy when he rushed. Finally, he arrived at Xiangshui Peak Villa before sunset.
The so-called villa is a row of houses. There is also a large courtyard built in front of the courtyard wall. There are more than a dozen houses. It should be fine to live in thirty people temporarily. There are no problems, but there is no preparation for bedding and other items. After all, it is not a hotel outside. Everyone unloads their equipment and finds the room to simply place it, and then lights the lights in the yard for dinner.
Emergency lighting is brought in from outside. After the electricity is discarded, you can order it for two to six hours at a time, and the brightness is divided into three levels. Everyone took a jade hoof pill, and they said they didn’t have to eat, but it didn’t affect everyone’s taste the delicious food. They had to have some food.
There is also a kitchen in the other yard where you can cook a fire. After setting the table, you will taste ordinary bamboo wine first. The wine is light and sweet, with a refreshing fragrance, and a slightly astringent taste that is not easy to describe. In short, it is very good to eat and taste very delicious. Everyone tastes wine and chats in the evening scene of the mountains and fields, and they all feel that this trip is worth it.
After finishing the ordinary bamboo wine and eating almost the food, Cui Shanhai opened the two bottles of special bamboo wine. The two bottles of wine were only about eight taels per bottle. There were thirteen people here, and each person was only one tael per person on average. Cui Shanhai specifically emphasized that this was not that he was stingy, but that this wine should not be drunk too much. It was already a lot of it to drink so much at a time. Fortunately, everyone has the cultivation level of the third level or above.
Pour a glass for everyone in turn, and poured the most full for Zhuang Mengzhou, almost two taels, and Ding Qi's cup was also quite a lot... Yan Binbin drank less, almost half a tael. The wine was just poured, but it was not drunk yet. A breeze blew, and everyone smelled a strange smell of wine.
Ordinary bamboo wine is just delicious. The smell emitted by this special bamboo wine makes people feel very greedy when you smell it. Then look down at the wine in the glass, it is rose-red and crystal clear, like nectar and jade liquid.
Before Cui Shanhai could say any toast, Zhuang Mengzhou picked up the cup and took a sip, squinted his eyes to make a living like a wandering place. After a while, he opened his eyes and nodded and said, "No, not bad, it's so greedy!"
Shui Ruo smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuang, drink it slowly. You can't drink this wine too quickly. You have to sip it in one gulp to appreciate its beauty. For those who have achieved success in cultivation, it is best to be able to concentrate and enter the country."
Zhuang Mengzhou stood up and said, "Oh, then I'll take it back to the house and taste it slowly." After that, he entered the house with a cup.
Everyone also stood up and said, "Then let's take it into the house and drink it slowly, and taste the wonderful things."
Cui Shanhai: "Please collect the things on the table first, and don't leave them in the open air, otherwise you will attract various small animals and ants."
Everyone packed the table, washed the dishes, and brought the wine back to the room. There were more than a dozen rooms here, enough for everyone to live in. Of course, Ding Qi and Xian Hao lived together.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, with only a table, two chairs and a bed made of Xiangshui bamboo. Xiangshui bamboo is different from ordinary bamboo. The bamboo wall is about an inch thick, and using it to make furniture is closer to wood. When you fall asleep on such a bamboo bed, the squeaking sound is much smaller than that of ordinary bamboo beds, but after all, it is bamboo material, and there is still a sound.
There was no quilt on the bamboo bed, so they brought a thin blanket to lay it out. Since they were camping in the mountains, there was no need to pay attention to the conditions. Xian Hao and Ding Qi sat face to face on the bed, clinked each other, took a sip of wine and savored it carefully, opened their eyes and clinked the glasses, and then took another sip. Only you can experience the beauty.
It feels so comfortable to drink this wine. It is as fumigated as a fairy, and the alcohol evaporates very quickly. I feel that every pore in my body is open, and the fine sweat is filled with a strange fragrance of flowers. If it is an ordinary person, if he takes a few sips, he will probably get drunk. The feeling is very beautiful...
With Ding Qi's cultivation level, he practiced the secret method of pointing directly to the mind and nature, so he would not be knocked down by this less than two taels of bamboo wine. For great monks who have experienced the false realm, they would not be addicted to it. They were just a simple enjoyment. But on the other hand, it was precisely because of the extraordinary level of cultivation that Ding Qi also knew how to better transform and experience the effects of bamboo wine.
After taking about three or five sips, Xian Hao asked, "What are you thinking? His expression suddenly became so strange."
Ding Qi sighed: "This bamboo wine is really wonderful. If you think about it, you will feel something. I was thinking about it just now."
Xian Hao wondered, "You are actually thinking about eating crabs. What kind of crabs are so delicious?"
Ding Qi: "The hairy crabs during the Double Ninth Festival are tender and yellow and crispy. They lick the lips and teeth and smell it. That smell... I just thought about it just now, and the lips and teeth are indeed full of the beautiful yellow flavor."
Xian Hao seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "Did you just think about this?"
Ding Qi smiled, blinked and said, "Have we had this cup?"
Xian Hao was stunned and said with a twisted expression: "What about?"
Ding Qi: "Then I will take you to a place, you understand!"
Xian Hao didn't ask where it was, so the two clinked glasses and drank them all. Then Ding Qi turned off the emergency light in the house. Xian Hao looked at Ding Qi's eyes. After the light went out, it was not dark, but came to the fairyland, with the misty Yuntai Cave.
It can be said that Ding Qi hypnotized Xian Hao, or it can be said that he brought Xian Hao into the country and introduced him into his spiritual world, showing such a world. In Ding Qi's former false realm, when he opened the Jinshan Courtyard, he had come to such a fairyland, and now he has brought Xian Hao in.
Bamboo wine is really a good thing, and you can drink it in a variety of ways. The two of them seem to have no movement, so there is no need to worry about the sound of the bamboo bed. The things they do are like spiritual intercourse and experience. Everything happens in the spiritual world that Ding Qi unfolds, which is wonderful, and there are even many interesting things that are difficult to understand in reality, including postures...
Teacher Ding is knowledgeable. The beauty depicted by Ten Rong and the taste of the thirty styles of the cave are all evolved in the fairyland. Xian Hao is usually very restrained and cold-hearted, so he can't stand these things. He is panting vigorously... After leaving the state of concentration, she leaned in Ding Qi's arms, her body was completely soft, and she didn't want to move at all, and she wanted to pinch this enemy in her heart.
The next morning, everyone packed their luggage and walked out of the villa, leaving many of the things in their luggage here, which were originally specially brought in. The road down the mountain was much smoother than when they went up the mountain yesterday. It meandered in bamboo, trees, flowers, plants and mountain streams. The scenery was very beautiful, and it was so lingering in the travels.
They didn't walk fast, and they didn't see Mengshenghua and Thumbbee on the road. At noon, a wild fruit forest emerged. In front of them was a stream, a big tree beside the stream, and a square well in the river water under the canopy. This is where everyone packed the ingredients yesterday, but they actually turned back. On the other side of the stream was the courtyard where they had lunch yesterday.
Cui Shanhai explained: "There are two roads to enter Xiangshui Peak and reach Shanglongtan. The road we took yesterday was more difficult and not suitable for ordinary people to climb. The road we came back today is more comfortable and relatively easy to walk. I opened Xiangshui Peak and planned two visiting routes. People with good physical strength and skill will take the road that yesterday, and those with weaker physique will take the road today."
Ye Zongqing suggested: "Since we can come here to visit, we must be good at it. We have the best route in the past two days. After entering the door, we have lunch at the courtyard in the front. In the afternoon, we climbed the mountain from yesterday's dangerous road, climbed the waterfall and circled the lake. There was no need to go to the caves at high places. We rushed to the other courtyard before dark, and then went down the mountain along today's path the next day, and then we could go out after lunch."
Ding Qi added: "Zengzhu Ye's advice is good, and this is indeed the best way to visit. But I also have a suggestion. If the guests from Jiufanglikan Island come to Xiangshui Peak, it is best to take them along the way back and forth. The too difficult place is not suitable for them, at least it is not suitable for them at the moment."
After lunch in the yard, everyone left Xiangshui Peak and still walked through the forest caves on the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains to the front of the Xishui Cave Scenic Area. Ye Zongqing and the other three took the lead in saying goodbye and left. Tan Hanchuan said, "Xiao Cui, you can still have one person in your car, so I will take a ride to Xi'an."
Tan Hanchuan had not been with Ding Qi and others at first. He came from Shanghai alone. At this moment, he took Cui Shanhai's easy bike to leave. In the car, Tan Hanchuan asked: "Little Cui, what is the critical temperature of the thumb bee leaving the nest? Have you observed it?"
Cui Shanhai replied: "The size of the thumb bees is much larger than that of ordinary bees and has a higher tolerance to low temperatures. I have observed that the critical temperature of their nests is about octaves Celsius, and the bee colony will not move out if it is below this temperature. The extreme temperature should be about 5 degrees Celsius, and between five and octaves, some thumb bees can occasionally be seen flying out."
Tan Hanchuan: "So when the temperature is too low, or when the bee swarm is inactive at night, Xiangshui Peak loses the natural protective effect of the thumb bee. You should pay attention to this."
Cui Shanhai: "Actually, the best way is not to let people know that Xiangshuifeng has this trump card. Even if someone is ill-behaved, he will not make targeted preparations in advance. I really want to thank you today, especially thanks to Master Ding!"
Tan Hanchuan smiled and said, "Half a month later, Teacher Ding invites you to visit Kingsoft Institute. I guess he has something to discuss with you."
Cui Shanhai: "Oh, what else do you have to find me?"
Tan Hanchuan: "I can't say it in advance, you will know then."
Ding Qi had something to talk to Cui Shanhai? On the way to leave Lantian County, Xian Hao asked Ding Qi: "Are you making the idea of Shuifeng?"
Ding Qi shook his head and said, "I didn't have the idea of Shui Feng. To be honest, I'm trying to make a decision about Cui Shanhai. This person is trustworthy... and don't say so badly. This is not called making an idea. It's just about discussing something with him and revealing some information to him."
This is a business car rented from Xi'an. Shi Buquan drove, Shang Ni was sitting in the passenger seat, Zhu Shanxian was sitting on the right side of the middle row, Xian Hao and Ding Qi were both sitting in the back seat. Shi Buquan asked, "Teacher Ding, do you want to teach Cui Shanhai the secret method of Fangwai and then develop Xiangshuifeng into Fangwaimen?"
Ding Qi: "Yes, they seem to be very suitable, and it can even be said that they can't find someone more suitable than them."
Zhu Shanxian: "When did you have this idea?"
Ding Qi: "When I found that the people of Xiangshui Peak were not only unscrupulous to us, but also very open and sincere. At first, I just wanted to find an opportunity to remind them to be cautious. When I went up the mountain and saw statues of ancestors of Xiangshui Peak, I became interested in teaching Fangwai's secret techniques. When Cui Shanhai was the first to take the Jade Hoof Pill, I made a decision."
Zhu Shanxian: "When are you planning to showdown?"
Ding Qi: "I will discuss with you first. I will take action when I arrive at Kingsoft Courtyard next week. I must be cautious in this matter."
Why did Ding Qi like Cui Shanhai instead of Ye Zongqing? It was not that Ye Zongqing himself was not trustworthy. The most important reason was that the members of Xiangshui Peak were very simple and all the details were clear. However, Wuxin Valley was relatively complicated. I heard that there were several villages inside, and so many people mean that there were too many uncontrollable factors.
Everyone has known Cui Shanhai, Shui Ruo, and Li Zhiyao, and they are all trustworthy. As for Cui Xiaoxi, she is still young, and many of the secrets of her elders will not let her know for the time being. Ding Qi is optimistic about Xiangshuifeng, and even more optimistic about Cui Shanhai. He wants to teach Fang Fang’s secret techniques, and then develop Xiangshuifeng into Fang Fang’s door.
Ding Qi did not have the intention to occupy the secret realm of heaven and earth in Xiangshui Peak. Fangwai Sect has enough outside worlds, big enough that even such a large Qingaotai world did not disturb Ding Qi's most interested in is the inheritance of the secret realm of heaven and earth and the treasure of the control world. He did not want to seize the inheritance, but just wanted to learn.
Ding Qi created his own secret technique of the outside world, which can freely enter and exit the outside world, and he can also use his own methods to sacrifice and refine treasures in the control world and master the wonderful uses of this type of special artifact. But compared to Cui Shanhai and Ye Zongqing, Ding Qi still lacks one very important thing. After all, he has not obtained any true inheritance of the secret realm of the heaven and earth and the treasures in the control world.
Ding Qi really wanted to know what this kind of inherited secret technique looks like, and whether it is familiar with the Fangwai secret technique he created or can learn from each other? This is related to the next direction of the Fangwai secret technique. Ding Qi himself is still exploring it.
