307、Ding Qi's Peach Garden

Yang Chengong went into the house and brought Ding Qi a fruit plate. It was very irregular in shape, like an open petal, with thick walls and heavy, about two feet long and one foot wide. It was ground with giant clam shells. It felt like it was a bit old. This place is not the South China Sea, so how could it produce giant clams? It must have been brought in by the ancients, but it was not taken away when they moved.

Ding Qi put the peaches in, held the heavy ancient plate with his left hand, pointed his right hand towards the sky, and flew down five peaches and fell into the plate very lightly. Outside the courtyard wall, there happened to be an ancient peach tree, with the crown spreading to cover most of the front yard, and it happened to bear fruit this year. The fruit just now fell from above. There were seven or eight peaches on the tree, but it was not yet fully ripe, so Ding Qi did not pick it.

There were only six peaches on the plate, but there were ten people here. Ding Qi walked out of the yard with the plate and walked around the dark village to find other peach trees with fruit. When he brought the plate back, there were a total of twenty peach fruits inside. Ding Qi put down the plate and said, "I didn't pick too much, I'll try two of them one by one, try them all."

Pick up the peach and take a bite. It is fuller and juicier than the wild peach outside, and the taste is sweeter. After eating the peach, the oval peach kernel is left, and its shell is dense and even close to bone. Don’t throw away the kernel, as it is useful to stay. Yang Chengong collects it every year, and everyone puts it back on the plate.

After eating the first peach, Ding Qi picked up the second peach and asked, "This thing is also a unique spiritual plant in the blessed land. What are the spiritual effects?"

Yang Chengong raised his mouth slightly and said, "Did Alliance Leader Ding feel it? Of course there is spiritual effect. This thing can improve physical fitness, detoxify and moisturize the skin, reduce swelling and pain, remove sores and remove evil."

If you only listen to the previous effects, Ding Qi would think it is a beauty-stabilizing fruit, but the effect of this Ling Tao to improve physical fitness is the most important. The so-called physical fitness and physical strength are two concepts. For example, many people in Jiufangli Kongdao are actually very healthy, but most of them are not strong in muscles and bones, but they cannot be said to have poor physical fitness.

In most cases, the physique and physique are related. People with good physique are generally good. The Wuhua Valley, the spiritual plant in Wuxin Valley, has the effect of nourishing vitality and strengthening the body. It is equivalent to the weakened version of the white jade hoof, but it is better because it has a large number and has no toxic side effects. Ordinary people can even take it as a staple food, but its spiritual effect is still different from this thousand-year-old ancient peach.

A human physique is determined by the growth environment and genes. It has long-term and congenital factors, so it is not easy to change it. From this we can see that the extraordinary spirit peach here is actually effective in improving physical fitness. Ding Qi asked again: "So how to take spiritual effects best?"

Yang Chengong smiled again and said, "What leader Ding should know is that you must have your own method."

Ding Qi smiled: "That's true!"

All kinds of spiritual medicines have their own specialties, and each secret technique has its own methods to cultivate body and spirit, which is nothing more than a combination of the two. How to take spiritual medicines can make their effect better? Ding Qi learned from Tan Hanchuan, paying attention to entering the country to operate magic power and how to transport and absorb its spiritual effects. If you take this spiritual peach, you can even sense changes in your physical condition and the trend of change.

The teachings of Tan Hanchuan are all about the fire gate, which is related to the furnace and cauldron technique he practiced. When Ding Qi took spiritual medicine, he also combined the characteristics of his secret techniques he practiced. He would let go of his body and spirit like a world in the world, and transform spiritual effects in this state. If it were in a specific external world, he would try his best to resonate with the world where this kind of spiritual medicine was grown.

Thinking of this, Ding Qi did not ask how Yang Chengong took Lingtao. He stood up with the second peach and said, "You can't waste such Lingtao. I just ate one, find a suitable place to enter the country to practice Gong and then eat the second one. I plan to stay here for the night."

Yang Chengong: "There are four houses in the main house and two houses in the backyard. Alliance Leader Ding chose the right place himself."

Ding Qi: "Let me give it to you. I have already picked up the place just now and it is under an ancient peach tree in the village."

Tian Zhongluo: "Since Teacher Ding has eaten peaches and wants to spend the night here, let's stay here as well. Send two people back to the homestay to say hello, and say we have come out to play all night so that we can't think we've lost in the mountains."

Tian Zhongluo was quite thoughtful. Yang Chengong sent two followers to go back to the No. 5 Valley to say hello, and the others stayed here overnight. Ding Qi took a peach and walked out of the courtyard to the center of the village. There was an open space there, and there was a thousand-year-old peach tree next to the open space. There was a stone under the peach tree, and the surface had been polished very smoothly, just like a seat of one person.

Ding Qi sat down on this stone, Yang Chengong and others also came over to take a look, Tian Zhongluo also smiled and said, "Teacher Ding is sitting here for the night? It's really Liu Xiahui in ancient times, and there are peaches in today!"

There was no danger in Chang Chengyuan's blessed land, and it was not easy for everyone to stay here. They all walked back to the courtyard just now and stopped disturbing Ding Qi. Ding Qi slowly ate the second peach, held the peach pit in his palm, and concentrated his mind into the country to move his spirit.

Even if the thousand-year-old ancient peaches in Changcheng Blessing Land have the spiritual effect of improving physical fitness, they will not be as obvious as they eat two. Moreover, ordinary people do not master the method of transporting and absorbing spiritual effects, and only take them regularly. With Ding Qi's current cultivation level, the effect of eating this spiritual peach to improve physical fitness is actually very minimal, and he mainly wants to experience it.

While Ding Qi was circulating his spirit, he also let go of his body and spirit to experience another realm. He was sensing this world, and using the heart plate to combine it to deduce magical powers... The peach wood sprouted and grew between heaven and earth, turning into the towering tree behind him, and he saw the ancient human scene in the village.

The so-called heart plate condenses not only the scenery of space but also the traces of time. Combined with the deduction of supernatural powers, the past and future can be seen. The past and future can be very real, but whether it is true is related to seeing and knowing. Ding Qi could not condense this world of heaven and earth into a heart plate in a short time, but he had just walked around the village and expanded his spiritual sense to condense the village into the heart plate.

Ding Qi sat upright under the tree in the darkness, but another Ding Qi in the Ding Realm stood up. The ancient tree behind him swayed, and the peach blossoms on the tree bloomed, which were obviously thinner, but they were still tall. The surrounding villages also became fresh. Looking around, the land was flat and the houses were swaying, with fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo. The traffic between the fields and the chickens and dogs were heard.

All the scenes are just like the description in "The Book of Peach Blossoms", but people's clothes are a bit inconsistent, and it is hard to tell which dynasty it is. The hemp-like gua is very simple.

Peach blossoms bloom in spring, and the weather is not very hot, but most of the adults here are very thin clothes. Many children also have curtains woven with chicken feathers, which should be local insulation clothing, and some elderly people wear dog leather jackets.

It was noon, and there were not many people in the village. Men worked in the fields and women went to deliver food. Only the elderly and children were still staying in the village for lunch. There was no one in the open space, so no one noticed Ding Qi appeared here.

This is a scene that Ding Qi's soul world shows. It is also possible to say it is a false realm, but it is not completely illusory. For example, the outline of the village in front of him is transformed by the ruins seen by Qi, and everything he saw through his operation of the mind plate and deduction. This scene may have really happened in history, or it may not have happened.

It is difficult to describe the practice after breaking through the great cultivation level, and ordinary people can't even understand it. Ding Qi walked into this outside world in another way. He still sat under the tree and held the peach pit in his hand. Using the peach pit as a guide, he sensed the world that grew out of it, and used the heart plate to deduce the scene of the world before, and he returned to the past like time traveling.

In a sense, the Great Realm may not have external magical powers, but it can travel through time and space freely, but this travel is not that travel.

Ding Qi stood under the tree with peach blossoms and saw someone walking towards the entrance of the village. This person should be the most normal person in this place. He was wearing a pair of cloth shoes, a headscarf, and a cotton dress. It looked like the style of the Song Dynasty. Ding Qi turned around and changed into similar clothes and walked towards him.

It seems like a false realm here, not a false realm, everything is manifested according to deduction and will not exceed the knowledge. It is obviously an unexpected factor for Ding Qi to appear in this scene. When the man saw Ding Qi, he was surprised that the rake in his hand fell off. He rushed over and saluted: "Brother, where are you from?"

Ding Qi almost blurted out Master Chen Gu, because this person's appearance was so similar to that of the boss Chen in the No. 5 Valley. It was simply carved from the same mold. He was about in his early 40s, but his clothes were different. Ding Qi replied: "Of course I came from outside. By chance, I came to the precious land. Where is this place and who are you?"

The man excitedly pulled Ding Qi's sleeve and said, "It turns out that he is a visitor from a foreign country. You can only come from outside! The ancestors of all generations have spirits, and finally some outsiders have come!"

Ding Qi patted the back of his hand and said, "Don't be excited for now, haven't told me where this is yet."

"This is Changcheng Blessing Land. My surname is Chen, and I am the local patriarch. May I ask you the surname of the young man?" The patriarch Chen had already pulled Ding Qi's sleeve and walked out of the open space. His surprise was overwhelming and he kept saying, "Go to my house first, I will tell you the situation here in detail..."

Ding Qi: "My surname is Ding... Don't be so anxious, you can go slowly."

When he came to the house of the Chen clan leader, he saw his wife and five children. His family was also surprised. The clan leader introduced Ding Qi as an outside guest, and called him a gentleman, and asked his wife and eldest daughter to kill the chicken and cook. The cooking here is made of ceramic pots, and the knife is also polished by stones. There are very few metal utensils, and the cooking is mainly the simplest cooking and stewing.

The chicken soup was very fragrant, and there were fresh fungus picked from the wooden fence in the yard. It was very delicious and the chicken was very delicious, but it felt a little light. The clan leader asked Ding Qi how he ate it well, and Ding Qi answered truthfully. The clan leader sighed: "The taste is indeed a little light. In the past, stewed chicken was not like this. It was because there was not much salt stored in the village."

Ding Qi asked: "There is no salt produced here, and the salt should have been transported from outside. Can't it be transported in now?"

The head of Chen showed a sad expression and sighed to explain the reason to Ding Qi. The clan members of Changcheng's blessed land moved here in ancient times to avoid war. No one knows how they first came in and when they came in. Ten years ago, the old head of the clan leader handed over the new clan leader's position to the young man named Chen Angu, but he did not leave until three months ago.

Chen Angu was not a satisfactory candidate for the new patriarch at first. It took the old patriarch almost thirty years to choose a satisfactory successor. After being old, he had no choice but to hand over the position of patriarch to Chen Angu. He spent nearly ten years cultivating him because he really couldn't pick others, and Chen Angu was the relatively best among all the clans.

The old patriarch gave Chen Angu a special peach pit. This peach pit cannot be smashed or burned. It is wrapped with silver buttons and hung on the silk rope. The silk rope can be wrapped for a few more circles and tied to the wrist, or worn on the chest as a pendant. This is the inheritance treasure of Changcheng's blessed land, and only it can open the door to the outside world.

It took Chen Angu ten years to learn how to use this peach pit, and the old clan leader had already gone. The tribe members here were completely trapped in this small valley. Many things needed and could not be produced by themselves in the valley were carried back by the old clan leader in the past, including the clothes Chen Angu wore now, and the most important material was salt.

After the old patriarch passed away, no one had the ability. On the surface, everyone could live and work in peace, but in fact the situation was getting more and more difficult. Only those heartless guys did not realize the crisis.

Hearing this, Ding Qi interrupted and asked, "Didn't the old patriarch think about taking you to move somewhere else before he passed away?"

Chen Angu: "The old patriarch said it several times, but everyone has lived here since ancient times, and no one wants to go out. I heard that the outside world is very sinister."

Ding Qi: "Why is it sinister?"

Chen Angu said a little embarrassedly: "It's not what I said, everyone is talking about it. In the past, the old patriarch also took people out to carry things, but people didn't remember what happened outside after they came back, and some even became stupid. Later, the old patriarch only took those fools out to carry things, but they were stupid anyway."

Ding Qi: "So the tribes are unwilling to leave?"

Chen Angu nodded and said, "Yes, no one wants to leave, and the old patriarch said that he can't come back after he goes out. Some things have never happened, so no one could have thought that after the old patriarch really leaves, everyone gradually felt something was wrong."

Ding Qi: "Where is the old patriarch buried? I want to go and worship."

Chen Angu shook his head and said, "The old patriarch was not buried here, he walked out by himself."

Ding Qi: "Didn't you say he died?"

Chen Angu: "Yes, he should have passed away. He told me that he knew that his age was about to end and did not want to die here, so he left by himself and left the peach pit in front of the door. He often went out over the years, and he also had family, career, and descendants outside... He only told me these things."

Ding Qi: "Oh, then what do he have last words? Why are you so excited to see me?"

Chen Angu: "Before he left, he gave me a map, saying that if one day I could master the inheritance treasure and open the door, I could take the tribe out, and there was a place to rebuild the village, and I could also go to his descendants for help. He also said that if I didn't have this ability, I could only pray for ancestors of all generations to appear and outsiders came in to help us."

Ding Qi: "He has known for a long time that I will come?"

Chen Angu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the old patriarch doesn't know. It's just that since ancient legends, there have been outsiders here, and I don't know how they came in, nor do I know how they got out. But since someone can go in and out, if you are lucky enough, meeting outsiders may be our last chance. I didn't expect to see Mr. Ding today!"

Ding Qi: "When was the last time someone came here?"

Chen Angu: "It's been hundreds of years ago, it's just a legend. When I met Mr. Ding today, I realized that the legend is true. You must help us..."

Ding Qi smiled: "It's okay for me to help you, but the old patriarch advised you to move in. Many tribe members are unwilling to do so. It's useless to persuade me as an outsider. You need to explain the truth from door to door. Whoever leaves and stays at that time depends on your own voluntary. By the way, how long will it take for you to save salt to eat?"

Chen Angu: "About three months."

Ding Qi: "Then I will stay here for three months, and I will give you three months. Moving is a big deal. You need to prepare well and bring everything you can with you. You also need to patiently persuade the tribe members. First, give me the map left by the old patriarch and the baby peach pit."

Chen Angu was a simple person and didn't think much about anything else. He immediately gave everything to Ding Qi. As Ding Qi expected, the peach pit was the treasure of the world control of Changcheng Blessing Land. He needed to study it carefully. Open the map and saw that the old patriarch marked the mountain terrain outside and drew a place where he could move.

Although there is no distance in the picture, Ding Qi came in from outside. The changes in the terrain in ancient and modern times are not too great, and he can basically be identified. Go out from the gate of Changcheng Blessing Land, you can see the water flow through a peach forest, and walk about two kilometers along the water flow. There is a village on the high slope.

Walking past this village, about one kilometer ahead, is the area drawn by the old patriarch, which is exactly where the current No. 5 Valley is located. The old patriarch also marked a paragraph in the picture, telling Chen Angu that if he brought his clan members and moved out, if he had something to do in the future, he could also go to Xiaowuzhuang outside Suokou Village to ask for help. Wu Qiusheng is the grandson of the old patriarch outside.

There is no location between Suokou Village and Xiaowuzhuang in the picture. It may be that the distance is relatively long. If Chen Angu could go out, he would have to inquire by himself. There are not many people who can read here, and Chen Angu is one of them. He was also taught by the old patriarch back then, so he can still understand this picture.
