Text_300, Valley
Lu Juzi saw Ding Qi's detailed resume file, and even his college transcript. In fact, most ordinary people can't see anything abnormal from their superficial resumes, as long as nothing happens, they are basically good students, good cadres, good citizens, and so on. But there is a video record in this material that is very special, that is, Ding Qi "chatted" about the death of Tian Qi in the meeting room, showing that this person's methods are very unusual.
Based on this analysis, the intelligence team may have obtained a certain secret method inheritance a long time ago and began to cultivate it since he was a child, and the secret method he cultivated was related to the inheritance of Jinshan Academy. It can be said that this judgment is outrageously wrong, but it is not unreasonable, explaining why Ding Qi can become the head of Jinshan Academy.
The other content of the report is the main point, and if Ding Qi sees it, he will be surprised, first of all, the list of "Ding Qi Group". Like others, Lu Juzi's intelligence team also believes that the core of the Ding Qi group is Zhu Shanxian, and its backbone members include Ding Qi, Xian Hao, Tan Hanchuan, Shi Buquan, and Zhuang Mengzhou.
Tan Hanchuan is Zhu Shanxian's son, his master was a famous qigong master, and in the seventies and eighties, he also cooperated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do scientific research experiments, and he has excellent kung fu. Xian Hao is Ding Qi's girlfriend and personal bodyguard, born in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that his skills are also very good. Shi Buquan is the heir of the Jianghu Register, and he is the little brother who everyone has drawn into the team. Zhuang Mengzhou may be a shocking senior who has infiltrated this team, pretending to be a ghost, and his status is a bit like a dog-headed military advisor, but he doesn't take care of things much.
These six people are the backbone of the group, and there are also four junior disciples: Bi Xuecheng, Ye Yanxing, Meng Huiyu, and Shang Ni. The first three are all students of Jinghu University, and they should be Ding Qi's people, while Shang Ni is a student of Zhejiang University, and she should be Shi Buquan's girlfriend, whose status is relatively periphery, and most of the time she plays soy sauce.
It has to be said that this information is generally accurate. The temple has been opened many times, and these people have all appeared, so it is not difficult to confirm their identities and gather information. However, the report also pointed out that there are two other suspected peripheral members of the Ding Qi Group, who are currently living in Shenzhen, named Wei Fanting and Tu Zhi.
How did the identities of these two people find out? The information group of the head of each building in the Nanlan community found out that Ding Qi and his gang owned three small buildings, and the head of one of them was Wei Fanting. According to this clue, it was found that Wei Fanting and a person named Tu Zhi often traveled back and forth between Shenzhen and Jinghu City, and they should have met with Ding Qi and others.
After investigation, Tu Zhi's parents and Ding Qi's mentor are good friends, and Tu Zhi also asked Ding Qi for psychotherapy, and it should be in this process that he was developed.
Ding Qi Group and Xiangshuifeng are allied, and the members of Xiangshuifeng are not any Jianghu forces, that is, Cui Shanhai's family and a peripheral member Li Zhiyao, basically nothing to worry about. Cui Shanhai may have thought that Xiangshuifeng's power was weak, so he took the initiative to form an alliance with the Ding Qi Group, and then followed the example of Jinshan Academy to open Xiangshuifeng for profit, which was also a means to make friends with other members of the alliance.
As for whether Wuxin Valley is an ally with Ding Qi Group, it still needs to be further confirmed, but according to the intelligence group, Ye Zongqing, the owner of Wuxin Valley, has a close personal relationship with Ding Qi. It is also very simple to come to this conclusion, if it weren't for the fact that they had a very good personal relationship, how could the two of them close the door and eat alone in a private room? Lu Juzi originally just followed Ye Zongqing, but Ding Qi made a move.
A series of intelligence analyses culminated in a course of action to be demonstrated. The firing group believes that it is necessary and feasible to get rid of Ding Qi, but it is necessary to create an opportunity for the operation team to make a move, and it is best to point the suspect of the action at Tian Zhongluo.
First of all, Ding Qi is Ye Zongqing's close personal relationship, and Lu Juzi's next plan is to target the Five Heart Valley, so the existence of this person may be an obstacle, and it is best to cut it off first, so that the Five Heart Valley will lose foreign aid in the Fangwai Alliance, and at the same time, it will also lose trust in the Fangwai Alliance, and even if something happens, he will not dare to ask the Fangwai Alliance for help easily.
Secondly, Ding Qi is a very talented person, even if he became the chairman of the Fangwai Alliance due to various unexpected factors, now it seems that he has controlled the Fangwai Alliance step by step, and he is still constantly winning over allies. He first proposed that the opening of the Jinshan Academy was indeed a clever move, so that the outside world in a wait-and-see state basically tended to agree with his leadership.
After getting rid of Ding Qi, the members of the alliance can be suspicious of each other, and Lu Juzi will have the opportunity to make up his mind one by one, in short, this alliance cannot be more and more united under the leadership of Ding Qi. Lu Juzi joined this alliance late, and only by breaking the existing pattern did he have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to control.
First of all, it cannot be found out, so the choice of time and place is very important, and it must be done cleanly.
On the other hand, it is also necessary to consider whether the Jinshan Temple will be severed because of this, and according to the analysis of the firing group, this situation does not exist. According to the information available, when Ding Qi stayed in Jinghu City, Jinshan Temple was open as usual. If you can get the treasure of the Realm Control and the secret method of the Jinshan Academy from Ding Qi, of course, it is better, if you can't get it, it doesn't matter.
The intelligence group was assigned to Lu Juzi by Shi Liangde, and the final conclusion of their report was, of course, what Shi Liangde meant. Shi Liangde did not tell Lu Juzi some inside information, that is, Zhuang Mengzhou has another identity called Zhu Dafu. Shi Liangde had already obtained the secret method from Zhu Dafu, the door of the Jinshan Courtyard had been exposed, and Shi Liangde could enter and exit freely after cultivating the secret method outside the square, so he did not object to Lu Juzi getting rid of Ding Qi.
So how to create an opportunity to attack Ding Qi? The intelligence group provided two alternative plans: One was to start in the Shenlongjia area of Hubei, and the other was to start in Cangshan Mountain, Dali, and the first option was preferred.
Why did the second plan start in Cangshan, Dali? Because when Lu Juzi got the report, Ding Qi and Xian Hao went to Dali. They had travelled by plane and the records of their trip had been recovered by BFIPU. It seems that Ding Qi and Ye Zongqing have really formed an alliance, and they may have to jointly track down the disappearance of Lu Xiao caused by the Heartless Valley Palm Flower.
Since they want to track it down, they can create clues for them to investigate, so that there is a chance to ambush and assassinate. But this plan is not the first choice, it would be better if Ding Qi could be killed unknowingly in the Shenlong Frame. After Lu Juzi saw the report, of course he had to ask--Why did Ding Qi go to the Shenlong Frame? The intelligence group just asked him to wait for news.
While Lu Juzi was waiting for news, Ding Qi was traveling in the Valley of the Five Hearts. He had been here for more than ten days, and he didn't come alone, he was accompanied by Xian Hao and Zhuang Mengzhou, and the three directors of Jinshan Academy in the Fangwai Alliance had arrived.
How big is Wuxin Valley? It is about 70 kilometers long from east to west, and nearly 60 kilometers wide from north to south. Some people may think that this is not too big, if you drive on the highway, tens of kilometers is a matter of half an hour with one foot on the accelerator. But its total area is close to 4,000 square kilometers, which is completely equivalent to a small country.
The settlements of the Wuxin Valley people are concentrated in the southern part of this world. Entering through the portal, you can see five peaks, like a hand on the ground, with the palm facing the sky on the relatively high plain, and the surrounding area is stretched out with rootless fingers sticking upward. The highest mountain in the northern part of the plains is like a middle finger, right in the middle of the world.
Most of the more than 30,000 ethnic groups live on the "palm" plain, with a total of more than 40 villages, divided into 12 tribal groups, and of course there are 12 relatively large market towns.
Due to tens of thousands of years of isolation, Ding Qi has developed a unique social structure and civilization in the world of Qin Gaotai, where the local people are not only engaged in farming, but also have a complete handicraft industry, and even can smelt metals, and are completely self-sufficient to achieve a state of equilibrium. The Five Heart Valley is different, it is not completely isolated from the world, and there is always a steady stream of materials from the outside world.
In some ways, this is a primitive tribal form, and Tintze even has a feeling that if the portal is closed, the group may return to primitive society.
There were very few handicrafts in the Valley of the Five Hearts, they did not smelt metal or even weave cloth, and all the textiles were brought in from outside, many of them were simply ready-to-wear. Judging from the costume, the people here are almost no different from the citizens of Dali, but from the architectural point of view, they are basically bamboo and wood houses, and the foundation is made of stone.
Wuxin Valley does not produce pottery, and it does not even open a kiln to burn bricks. Although they farm, it is very different from the traditional farming method outside, close to the wild harvest, except for the construction of simple irrigation projects, the land here is never cultivated without pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
The plains were fertile, well-watered, and had a pleasant climate, so they scattered the seeds of all kinds of crops in the fields and harvested them when they were ripe. With this near-natural farming method, pests and diseases do not have much of an impact, because the ecological environment is well maintained.
There are two main crops here. One is soybeans, whose seeds may have been brought in from outside many years ago, and then sown in the fields and become wild plants here. Whenever the soybeans are ripe, the locals pick them and don't need to replant them, because there are always missing beans that fall to the ground and regenerate the roots to sprout.
Perhaps because of the unique environment of the secret realm of heaven and earth, the soybeans here have become a unique variety, and after drying, each grain is yellow, orange, orange, round, and about one centimeter in diameter, just like the yolk of a quail egg. A local bird, which resembles a quail, eats beans, and its flesh is delicious and the eggs it lays are delicious.
Another crop is a local specialty, with grains that are a bit like rice, but much larger than rice and almost a centimeter long. The shape of the ear it pulls out is very special, the stalk is very thick, the layers are pagoda-shaped, and each layer only grows five grains, and the name of this crop is Wuxin Valley.
Originally, the valley was a wild variety, but later the locals also collected the seeds, sowed them every year in the fields near their homes, and harvested them when the season came. Like this sowing method, the yield per mu cannot be too high, but there is no shortage of land here, and it can be sown at will on the field, which is enough for the local people, and it can't be shipped out anyway.
When Ding Qi heard that the main crop in the Five Heart Valley was also called the Five Heart Valley, he asked Ye Zongqing with a smile, is the name of this Heaven and Earth Secret Realm related to this kind of grain? Ye Zongqing shook his head and said: "As far as I know, this place was not inhabited in the early years, and later the clan continued to move in, and then this grain was also called this name. ”
Zhuang Mengzhou said with a smile: "The Five Heart Valley is not only the name of this heaven and earth, but also the name of this spirit plant, which is in line with the original intention of the valley!"
Ding Qi: "Mr. Zhuang, what does Gu mean?"
Zhuang Mengzhou muttered: "The meaning of tolerance also refers to the place of gestation, and it can also refer to the place where all things are contained. The meaning of the valley did not refer to the fruit at the earliest, but to the nature that gives birth to all fruits, and it can also refer to the origin of all things, as if it were endless. For example, if the plant is heading and fruitful, the seed can be re-planted when it enters the ground......"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Zongqing answered: "Lao Tzu said, 'The god of grains is immortal, it is for Xuanyi'. Is that what it means?"
Zhuang Mengzhou nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the Lord of Ye Gu is really smart! There is another sentence: 'Know its glory, guard its humiliation, for the world valley; That's pretty much what it means. When they spoke, they stood halfway up the mountain, each holding a grain ear picked at the bottom of the mountain, Zhuang Mengzhou pointed to the wilderness road under the mountain, "Everything produced here is like a spiritual plant, and even soybeans can grow like that, I am also very convinced!"
Ye Zongqing: "The crops here, especially the Wuxin Valley, do have the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing vitality, but they must be taken for a long time, and the environment here is very good, which also helps to prolong life." ”
"What is the average life expectancy here?"
Ye Zongqing: "No one paid attention to it before, but I later counted it, and it was about 100 years old." ”
That's a staggering number, which means that almost all people here have a chance to live for 100 years, as long as nothing else. Zhuang Mengzhou sighed: "I think it is more appropriate to call this Wuxin Valley the Five Heart Valley, as for this crop, it can be called the Five Flowers Valley in another name, so as not to be confused." ”
Ye Zongqing: "Mr. Zhuang can call it whatever he wants." ”
Zhuang Mengzhou: "I just talked about the original meaning of 'valley', in fact, there is an idiom, from the "Book of Songs", called the dilemma, which was extended by later generations to mean trapping. ”
Living here for a long time helps to prolong life, and the local people are very good, they seem to be carefree, and it can even be said that they have no heart and lungs, so Zhuang Mengzhou will have the "Heartless Valley".
It feels like a primitive tribal society using the products of modern industrial civilization, but life is easy and everyone lives at a leisurely pace. The reason why they adopt the kind of farming method of wild planting and harvesting is only two words - there is no shortage. The crops are produced to meet the needs and preserve the natural beauty of the area.
Locals also cultivate their fields – small vegetable plots in front of and behind their houses, planted with all kinds of vegetables that they eat at home, including crops brought in from outside and varieties unique to the local area. It cannot be said that there is no handicraft industry at all in the Five Heart Valley, there are also tofu factories, sake breweries, and oil mills, and many families process their own sauce and vinegar.
About twenty miles away from the settlement, there was a salt lake in the lowest lying place of the entire Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, with an area of more than ten square kilometers. The most important organized collective work in the region was salt production.
In the early years, each village had to send young and strong laborers to the salt lake to make salt in turn, and the salt obtained was distributed to each family according to the number of people. But there is no longer such labor, because salt is very cheap and one of the most convenient goods to transport.
The people here seem to be carefree and self-sufficient, but many of the materials of daily life are brought in from outside. There are no local metals, hoes, kitchen knives, iron pots...... It's all outside stuff, and all kinds of other daily sundries. Today's most consumed foreign industrial products are very representative, that is, various types of dry batteries.
Fortunately, Wuxin Valley has regulations that all waste batteries must be recycled and then shipped out, and they cannot be discarded at will to pollute the environment.
Although the life here does not talk about clothes to stretch out and food to open mouths, the clothes worn are brought in from outside, and food is basically a reward from God. The vast majority of people are accustomed to this kind of life, and to put it nicely, they enjoy the innocent fun of antiquity, and have no intention of making any changes.
In the last two generations, the valley owners have deliberately brought in teaching materials from outside, organized the clansmen to build schools, and also wanted to carry out compulsory education, mainly because the people here should not be too out of touch with the outside times. But most people don't have the interest to go to school after they can read and write, because the knowledge they have learned is really not useful here.
Ye Zongqing also deliberately built a library in the Five Heart Valley, so that the clansmen could consult all kinds of materials, but there were not many people who came to see the books, and even if they came, they were mainly interested in leisure reading. Although there is no family planning policy in the local area, there are not many children in each family, basically two or three children.
Ding Qi and the others saw these situations in their eyes, and when they heard Zhuang Mengzhou's words, Xian Hao suddenly said: "The palm flower envoys here are very hard, and the Lord of Ye Gu is even more worried!"
Ye Zongqing smiled and didn't say anything, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes. The Five Heart Valley, an outside world, can maintain the status quo mainly because it is not completely closed. But their communication and exchange with the outside world is one-way, and only the outside can be transported in, but the inside cannot be transported.
Theoretically, if Ye Zongqing broke through the Dacheng cultivation, he could bring out the original products in the Five Heart Valley by urging the treasure of the control realm, but doing so was equivalent to self-destructing the form god, and he could only do it occasionally.
To be honest, this kind of unilateral supply relationship that only enters but does not leave is not reasonable, and it is not easy to maintain. There are sixty flower envoys in the Five Heart Valley, which seems to be a lot of people, and the foreign materials needed by the clansmen are not too much, but the needs of more than 30,000 people add up to a heavy burden. And all the supplies are not for nothing, they need to be bought for money outside.
Wuxin Valley has industries outside, and most of the profits from operating these industries are exchanged for materials and transported into the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, and the products in the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm cannot be taken out and sold.
Outside the Wuxin Valley Gate is Canggu Village, and there are more than 2,000 residents in the village, but most of them don't know about the secret realm of heaven and earth, and only a few core high-level people know about it. The industries outside the Five Heart Valley are basically run by the flower envoys, and in order to maintain the life of the people in the secret realm of heaven and earth, it can be said that they are heartbroken.
Of course, the palm flower is also the benefit of the palm flower maker. No matter who becomes the palm flower envoy, they will have a respected status in the secret realm of heaven and earth, and each village will take out the best products to make the best use of them, and build the most comfortable and beautiful courtyards for them, and they are favored by the opposite sex when looking for a partner.
In fact, it is not only the palm flower envoy who can enter and exit the portal of the secret realm of heaven and earth, but ordinary people born here, if they go out and come back, they will not retain their memories. It's the same with ordinary people who were born outside and then went out.
The vast majority of the clansmen are willing to stay and live in the secret realm of heaven and earth, but there are also some people who have received education and are very curious about the outside world, and they ask to go out on their own. Ye Zongqing supported this behavior, but asked them to keep it a secret after they went out, and some people stayed outside to help the clansmen take care of the property.
There are also many people who feel that the outside world is too complicated and chaotic, and life is not easy or uncomfortable, so they go back one after another, and then forget their experience outside.
Although Wuxin Valley can allow people to come out, it is also difficult to move the population on a large scale in a short period of time, especially now that the household registration status is a problem, it is okay to solve a few people occasionally, but it is impossible to solve too many people at once.
This is the situation or predicament of the Five Heart Valley, Ye Zongqing knows it. At first glance, it looks like a paradise, but there are a lot of problems. The situation is that the people who fled the war in ancient times continued to move in, and the situation that accumulates has become today.
Those who run industries in the outside world and use profits to buy materials and transport them to the secret realm of heaven and earth, although they are respected and enjoy a high status in the valley, they are probably not without complaints. People are selfish, even if they don't have other ideas, but if they are bought and instigated by outsiders, chaos will arise if they can't keep it.
ps: This chapter is a two-in-one super long again, so the update is late, sorry!
