359. Master

Shang Ni said thoughtfully: "I used to read history books and said that there were saints' teachings in ancient times. I didn't feel that it was too exaggerated. I came here today and realized that the teachings were really important. It formed our concept of life and tradition."

Zhuang Mengzhou raised his thumb and said, "Little girl, these words are insightful, you are not in vain."

Shi Buquan asked, "What should we do?"

Everyone looked at Ding Qi, and Ding Qi stood up and said, "Go back and tell Fangwai League headquarters about the situation here."

Shi Buquan: "Don't you just ignore these people?"

Ding Qi: "This is their own choice, and they have to change it themselves. Even if Tao Xin, the saint brother of the Heavenly Kingdom, came, I guess there would be no way to deal with them, because this is not Qin Gaotai, and they need their Tao Xin."

Several people quietly left Xiaoyang Kingdom, and they came and went silently, and no one in the local area knew about it. Although Ding Qi said that, he still left something on the abandoned temple altar. It was a gold key, a substitute treasure that he sacrificed and refined by himself. There was also the idea of ​​controlling the gods he left behind. As for Xiaoyangding, it was taken out again.

Perhaps one day in the future, this key will be picked up by local people, subconsciously receiving certain information and being inspired by some kind of inspiration. But the bigger possibility is that this key will never be discovered, and even if it is discovered, it may not change anything.

The climate in Xiaoyang Kingdom is very good. When the cold wind in the Shennongjia Mountains outside is soaking bones, it is still as warm as spring. After passing through the door, everyone felt the coldness of the late winter again. Zhuang Mengzhou took out the mink cloak from his incomplete stone backpack and put it on again. Suddenly, he asked with a divine thought: "Teacher Ding, are you still satisfied with this trip?"

Ding Qi replied with a divine thought: "There is no satisfaction or not. My purpose is to find Xiaoyang Kingdom and see what kind of world it is. This trip was very smooth."

Zhuang Mengzhou's words were a little abrupt: "There is no record of the Xiaoyang Kingdom in "Fangwai Tuzhi".

Ding Qi: "It's true that there is no, it shouldn't be incomplete. Judging from this, the South Gate Demon King Zhu Jingyi has never been to the village. Instead, he found clues from Piaohuatan."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "You haven't read "Fangwai Tu Zhi" for a long time, right?"

Ding Qi: "If you hadn't mentioned it suddenly, I wouldn't have remembered this picture album. Since A Quan got out of trouble, I have never read the "Fangwai Picture Records", including the copy and electronic photocopy we made. In fact, it doesn't matter whether we read it or not, but the content has been remembered in my heart for a long time."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's true that you don't need to read it anymore, because later, with Fangwai Alliance, each company came to him. Someone who didn't appear at that time could contact him. Why do you have to read another picture album with blurry records and incomplete records, and is not reliable now?"

Ding Qi: "That's right, but we thought we had a lot of effort to get and repair this picture album."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "The little effort you spent at the beginning is simply a pediatric department compared to what you experienced later... I have a problem. Looking back now, don't Teacher Ding thinks that all this goes too smoothly?"

Ding Qi was a little puzzled: "Successful?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Yes, it's so smooth! Think back, in just a few years, you have found so many foreign worlds and established Fangwai Alliances. Even places like Xiaoyang Kingdom have gone for a walk. The starting point of all this is to get the volume of "Fangwai Tu Zhi". Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Ding Qi: "The reason why it went so smoothly is not in "Fangwai Tuzhi", but in the timely establishment of the Fangwai Alliance. If someone is secretly promoting it, then this person is Mr. Zhuang, you!"

The emergence of "Fangwai Tu Zhi" helped Ding Qi and others find Xiaojing Lake, but even without this volume of picture album, the outside worlds of all sides still existed. Later, the appearance of Fangwai Sect and Fangwai Alliance was not because of "Fangwai Tu Zhi". After all, it was just a broken picture album. Fangwai secret technique was created by Ding Qi, and Fangwai Alliance was jointly established by Tian Zhongluo and others.

Zhuang Mengzhou: "But with Teacher Ding's current cultivation level, don't you think many things were strange at the beginning? If I hadn't left a poem in Baiyun Cave and Teacher Ding had created the secret method of the Fangwei, many things would still happen.

Of course, I went to Baiyun Cave to visit the Fangwai Alliance and made "Fangwai Tu Zhi" no longer important. If someone really designed something behind the scenes, it would prevent the situation from following the routines designed by the other party.

But before that, "Fangwai Tu Zhi" was very important. It was not my hand in hand to you. You didn't come to me at that time. If there was a master who secretly pushed him, he could create many coincidences, but those who were in the coincidence could not detect it themselves."

Ding Qi: "What do you mean?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's the literal meaning. I hope I'm too concerned. But why did someone leave behind "Fangwai Tu Zhi" back then? Leaving Jin Ruyi in the Xiaojing Lake means that he can never get in again. So what's the point of leaving clues? There was no secret method of Fangwai at that time!"

After entering Xiaojing Lake, Ding Qi and others discovered the Jin Ruyi. At first, they didn't know that it was a treasure of the world control, and they thought it was an artifact used to take Moon Detergent. If you put the gold Ruyi on the shelf, can you open the portal? Of course, it's fine, because that location is not far from the portal, and there is no need to hold the treasure of the world control in your hand.

But if you leave without taking away the treasure of the control world, and no one is left in the secret realm of heaven and earth, it means you can never go back. Since no one can enter this secret realm of heaven and earth, then what's the use of leaving "Fangwai Tu Zhi" outside? Is it just waiting for someone like Ding Qi to appear?

Ding Qi pondered for a moment before answering with his divine thoughts: "If you want to enter the secret realm of heaven and earth, you don't necessarily need treasures to control the world, nor do you need secret techniques in the outside world."

What does this mean? I think about how Tian Qi, Tu Zhi, Lu Fang and others entered Da Chi Mountain? It was a mistake! They walked in under an inexplicable situation, and may have been familiar with a certain physical and mental state. This state is spontaneous and cannot be repeated. They themselves cannot realize it and cannot make a clear summary, but this is the basis for the emergence of the secret method of the outside world.

Zhuang Mengzhou smiled in his divine thoughts and said, "Yes, the specialty of the secret realms of heaven and earth is my favorite. The roosters and old hens who ride in the blessed land, and the kind that grows up from eating insects on the ancient peach trees. Just chase them out, unlike taking other things, and you will suffer the pain of splitting your body and spirit."

Ding Qi: "Don't interrupt, these are two different things. The chicken ran out by itself, but someone should first open the door with the treasure of the world control."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "I just said that, but I was suddenly a little greedy! There is nothing delicious in Xiaoyang Country. It is not far from Changcheng Blessing Land. After I get down the mountain, I will go to Lao Yang's side..."

Although Zhuang Mengzhou changed the topic, Ding Qi had to think about it. When he got the "Fangwai Tu Zhi" and participated in the search for Xiaojing Lake, it was indeed a series of coincidences, but each step could be reasonably explained.

But from another perspective, there are some factors that are driven by humans. If the designer behind the scenes is too high, it will be impossible to detect traces. But now Fan Yang and Ye Xing are dead, and even if there is doubt, there is no way to verify it.

Zhuang Mengzhou did not clearly say that there was or is not such a possibility, but just raised this question. He finally sent a divine thought to Ding Qi, telling Ding Qi to go to Youhuaijie to find him if he discovers something. Of course, Zhuang Mengzhou could not stay in Youhuaijie every day, but when Ding Qi wanted to find him, he could say hello first, and he went to Youhuaijie to wait.

After leaving Shennongjia, Zhuang Mengzhou ran to Changchengfudi to eat chicken again. As far as Ding Qi knew, Zhuang Mengzhou went to Cuiraozhuang to bring a few celestial melons. This time he could make a scrambled egg with celestial melons. After Ding Qi returned to Xiaojing Lake, he informed the members of the Fangwai Alliance about the situation in Xiaoyang Kingdom, and everyone sighed.

Ding Qi met another senior at the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance, namely Dongfang Jing’s master Ximen Ding. The surnames of this pair of master and apprentice are quite interesting. Maybe Ximen Ding came to Dongfang Jing as his apprentice and fell in love with his name, which is very inconsistent with his own.

After practicing the secret techniques of the mountain in Dongfangjing, Ximen Ding hurriedly passed the position of the mountain master to his disciple. He didn't know where to go, and he showed up every once a year. Even Dongfang Jing often couldn't contact him. Ximen Ding left Dongfang Jing with only a secret realm of heaven and earth, and there were not many valuable antiques that could be sold inside.

Ding Qi originally thought that Ximen Ding was a hidden master who played in the world, but when he met, he realized that his cultivation was not much higher than Dongfang Jing.

He is a little taller than Dongfang Jing, but he is actually a master, but he can't compete with Ding Qi. Ximen Ding is a little old man who laughs all day long. He has been idle all these years and has been eating, drinking and having fun. Recently, he has also fallen in love with internet celebrities. He has a strong sense of the times and spirit.

Dongfang Jing finally contacted his master again recently. Ximen Ding heard about the recent happenings in Zhuci Guanshan and the situation of Fangwai Alliance, so he hurried back and came to the headquarters of Fangwai Alliance to meet League Leader Ding.

Ximen Ding's plan was that since there were many things to be busy, Dongfang Jing was mainly responsible for the secret realm of heaven and earth. He also handled the construction of the Immortal Island villa in Xiaojing Lake on behalf of Zhuciguanshan.

Dongfang Jing is a good disciple and respects his master very much, so of course he follows his wishes. After seeing Ding Qi, his disciple Ximen Ding warmly invited him to inspect Zhuci Guanshan. Among the existing members of the Fang Foreign Alliance, the only family of Zhuci Guanshan left the secret realm of heaven and earth that Ding Qi had not yet visited.

Accompanied by Master and disciple Dongfang Jing, Ding Qi finally went to Zhuciguanshan. He successfully crossed the first mountain from the first mountain to the second mountain, and then entered the third mountain that Master and disciple Dongfang Jing had never entered.

If you want to enter the Second Pass Mountain, you must have at least the third level or above, and you must let the owner of this place open the road with the Guanshan Whip; if you want to enter the Third Pass Mountain, you must at least have great success. But it is not possible for anyone to go, and you must also have the consent of the Lord of the Outer World. Only Lu Juzi has entered before.

Lu Juzi was able to enter the Third Pass Mountain because he was Dongfang Jing's collaborator at that time, and he obviously had half of the master's intentions. Later, a master like Zong Feixia came, but Dongfang Jing did not invite the master of the Sect Island, because this involved the secrets of the various Guanshan Mountains. Now that Ding Qi is here, Dongfang Jing's disciple invited him to enter the Third Pass Mountain, which also showed enough sincerity.

The Third Guanshan is an incredible place. Lu Juzi met a mysterious old man there last time, as if he was the incarnation of this outside world. When the old man appeared, the Guanshan whip in Dongfang Jingslee disappeared for a while.

Now this scene has happened again. When Guanshan Whip disappeared inexplicably, Dongfang Jing was no longer panicked, but seemed very expectant. Ding Qi also saw the mysterious old man. What kind of communication did the two have? Outsiders don’t know. After Ding Qi walked out of the third Guanshan, Guanshan Whip returned to Dongfang Jing’s sleeve, and then he sent a divine thought to the master and apprentice who were waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Ximen Ding suddenly changed his mind. He decided to stay in the secret realm of heaven and earth to practice, and at the same time he was in charge of the daily affairs of Guanshan. The matters at the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance were replaced by his disciple Dongfang Jing.

Dongfang Jing sent Ding Qi out of Zhucishan Mountain and said in the Longhu Mountain Villa: "I want to thank the leader Ding this time! Although my master has the word "Ding" in his name, he has always been very erratic. Now that I have received your guidance, I have finally decided to practice hard, and my disciple is also at ease."

Ding Qi smiled and said, "He came back this time, otherwise you would be too busy with many things."

Last time, Shi Liangde organized an overseas expedition group to visit Zhuciguanshan. Although Shi Liangde has been locked up in Jingsha Island, the explorer and financier Mr. Luo Jiansen has contact information of Dongfang Jing. Luo Jiansen recently set up an overseas expedition organization called the Secret Realm Secret Practice, which specializes in organizing "people in the circle" to visit such mysterious unknown places. Dongfang Jing's "Master" became their contact person.

This is a benefit to Fangwai Alliance. As long as Fangwai World is willing to charge a high price to open for this group of people to visit, Dongfang Jing will be responsible for the arrangement. Therefore, Dongfang Jing is very busy and has bid farewell to the past life of a otakus.

Dongfang Jing asked again: "Who is the old man that Alliance Leader Ding met in the Third Pass Mountain? Was he changed from the treasure of the world control?"

Ding Qi pondered: "You can understand this way. But in my opinion, it's nothing more than anthropomorphism. He is not a real person, but as long as you have achieved your cultivation, you can see him truly. Practicing the secret techniques of the external world in various parts of the world, you can empathize with the heaven and the earth, and then communicate with the heaven and the earth. Now it's nothing more than a more intuitive and direct way."

Dongfang Jing nodded and said, "I understand a little bit! Master originally regarded the mountains of Guanshan as a desolate wilderness where no rabbits can shit. Now, seeing that the Fangwai Alliance can still be managed like this after the establishment of the Fangwai Alliance, and the Alliance Leader Ding's cultivation is so high that he can overcome the mystery that he has not been able to get involved. He may have been a little stimulated and then changed his temperament."

Ding Qi smiled and said, "This is a good thing. What else do you have to ask about the Lord of Dongfang Mountain?"

Dongfang Jing suddenly had a whim and said, "There are three levels of Guanshan Mountains. Alliance Leader Ding has already been to the third Guanshan Mountain. So in your opinion, is there still a possibility of the fourth Guanshan Mountain?"

Ding Qi: "Yes, of course there."

Dongfang Jing said in surprise: "Ah! I just said casually, is there really a fourth mountain?"

Ding Qi: "The so-called Fourth Pass Mountain is the world we are in outside the secret realm of heaven and earth! If you can open the door and step out in the secret realm of heaven and earth, you can step out in one step, and it will be the Fourth Pass Mountain."

Ding Qi's meaning is not complicated. If you practice the secret techniques of the Guanshan Mountain to a certain level, no matter where you are in the secret realm of heaven and earth, you can open the door and step out in one step, then it is equivalent to stepping through the Fourth Guanshan Mountain.

In fact, Ding Qi has encountered similar situations a long time ago. The portals that go out in the Qingaotai world are not fixed. They can be opened at any place and then come out of the bath pot hole. The rules of the outside world are different, and the time and space in the Qingaotai world are different, but this is not the case in other external worlds.

However, with Ding Qi's current cultivation level, the realm he can understand has long been far better than that in the past. He realized that the same thing can be done in all external worlds.

Dongfang Jing opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time before nodding slowly and said, "Oh, so that's the case!"

Having said that, Dongfang Jing didn't know that the realm Ding Qi mentioned did not refer to all kinds of passes, but was applicable to any outside world.

Ding Qi took the high-speed train back to Jinghu City. Longhu Shanshu specially sent a car to take him to the high-speed train station. When he got off the train, he did not ask Fangwai Alliance to send a car to pick him up, nor did he take a taxi, but walked back to Nanxi Community. He passed through the streets and alleys of Jinghu City, and looked ahead as if he was a little confused, and his expression seemed a little dazed, as if he was in a state of trance.

It is easy to bump into something when walking like this, and it is not too safe even on the sidewalk, because now there are always electric cars delivering takeout to drill around. However, Ding Qi did not touch anything along the way, and even the corners of passers-by did not wipe the corners of his clothes. The world seemed to have turned into a world, and he was a free swimming fish in the world.

Ding Qi's eyes didn't know where he looked. He seemed to ignore the bustling crowd, but he saw everything so clearly. His breath was ordinary. At this moment, he seemed to have found a state and entered that state, which was Tian Qi, Tu Zhi, and Lu Fang accidentally entered the state of Da Chi Mountain.

Tian Qi and others were in chaos at the beginning, but Ding Qi was in Qingming at this moment. His practice so far was just to discover and explore the outer world that people didn’t know, but at this moment he seemed to see countless.

The countless floating thoughts and changes, like intermittent fragments, fleeting, and wandering with the waves, like fate and death, like endless life, is walking past everyone around you. Ding Qi seemed to have returned to the beginning. Under the guidance of Liu Feng, he studied majors and was discovered with special talents...

At this moment, the outside world seems to be everywhere, everywhere but not everywhere. Because those are just the prototype or source of the outside world, not the true world that can express feelings or form and spirit, but from another angle, they are also the living world in rhythm and change.

Ding Qi had the answer in a trance. But this answer alone is not enough. Where does the colorful glass tower come from? The source is sand, but sand is not a colorful glass tower, and it will not naturally become a colorful glass tower.

Ding Qi suddenly turned a corner and disappeared inexplicably at a street corner. This situation was too strange, but no one noticed it. After about ten seconds, his figure came out of nowhere from that street corner, and no one noticed it. The passersby seemed to have ignored it, and no one knew where he had just gone.

Ding Qi's speed was not too fast. After walking for about three hours, the gate of Nanqi Community finally appeared on the street. He disappeared and appeared several times along the way. When he stood across the street from Nanqi Community, his blank gaze gradually became focused again, as if he woke up from a sleepwalking.

Ding Qi was about to cross the street, but suddenly frowned and turned around and walked into the streets and alleys. Ding Qi had not been involved in the streets and alleys in this area for at least a year, and seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.

People living in modern cities have such a feeling? Just walking distance around your residence or office, even if it is just a block away, you may rarely pass by or have never been there. Ding Qi came to such a place where there is a modern building on the roadside, with wide sidewalks and an alley next to it.

At the entrance of the alley, there was a man sitting on the ground with a green belt on his back, wearing a dirty torn cotton jacket, his hair was long and he was scattered randomly, and he looked like a beggar. Why did Ding Qi suddenly become interested in a beggar? Because Ding Qi could not see what he could see from other passers-by on him?

The beggar sat there, with a piece of cardboard erected in front of him, with a few lines of words written on the cardboard : "The urban routine is deep, and the rural roads are slippery. Being a beggar for a day requires a day of money to spend."

Once this sign is set up, he can be called a person in the world. If he just puts a bowl, he is an ordinary beggar. However, if he sets up such a sign, the words are written with some characteristics, as if he will be upgraded to a street performance artist immediately, which can attract the attention of passers-by. If he takes photos and posts it online, he may become an internet celebrity.

Several young men with white-collar workers were taking a photo with the beggar, and the beggar smiled very well. One of them was a couple. After the photo, the girl seemed to have posted a circle of friends and said to the young man: "Do pay quickly!"

The young man was reluctant to mutter: "Does there still be a fee for taking a photo?"

The beggar didn't say anything, and picked up another piece of cardboard beside him, and turned it over and there were a few lines on it: "When a woman complains about a man, the first one is always stingy."

When he looked again, there was a stack of cardboard next to him. The young man shook his head and said, "No, isn't it true that women say the most often, men don't know how to cherish, don't value feelings, and don't understand women's thoughts?"

The beggar picked up another piece of cardboard and turned it over, and saw it read: "If you are even stingy with tenderness, what else can you be generous?"

The girl said in surprise: "Master, you are such a true saying!"

Ding Qi almost laughed when he heard this sentence. The master's call was too casual. He was begging rather than fortune telling. The young man said nothing and muttered, "I didn't bring any cash."

The beggar turned over the sign standing on the ground, and saw a QR code on it. He smiled and said, "You can scan the code, WeChat or Alipay!" His teeth were white and neat, and it was not harmonious at all with the cotton jacket and velvet pants on his body.

The young man scanned the code and paid for it. Then the group of people entered the building next to him. They should be employees working in the company in the building. There was also a dessert shop in the building. The beggar had just packed the cardboard, and another girl came out of the dessert shop, holding a glass of ice cream in her hand, and the ice cream was in a pink sphere.

It is very common to eat ice cream in cold weather nowadays. The girl walked up to the beggar and stopped curiously. The beggar pulled out another piece of cardboard and opened it. It read: "Everyone is suffering, but you have strawberry flavor."

The girl burst into laughter, happily scanned the code to pay, and then squatted down and took a photo with the beggar, then left with satisfaction, and did not forget to post on WeChat Moments while walking.

Ding Qi stood not far away and watched quietly. The beggar should have noticed him a long time ago, but he still sat quietly. The pedestrians coming and going were attracted by the beggars from time to time, and there were always people taking photos with him. Ding Qi had heard several people calling the beggar the master.

There was a man in his early thirties who was still very excited and had a conversation. After a few words, he kept praising the beggar. He even turned on the live broadcast on his mobile phone and claimed that he met a strange man when he went out today, a master who had lost his low-level interest and truly saw through the world.

The beggar faced the live broadcast camera without changing his color. He took out a piece of cardboard and opened it. He saw it: "There is no high-end interest, it's just to see who is more confident."

Ding Qi stood for more than half an hour, and finally waited until the beggar finally calmed down, but he still didn't walk over and talk, just watching coldly. However, the beggar couldn't hold back, so he took out a sign and knocked it at Ding Qi, and saw it saying: "Please accept my kindness."

Then he took out a bowl from somewhere, and there was a stack of red envelopes in it. He took out one and said, "Young man, you have been looking at it for a long time, come and get a red envelope."
