Shanny said thoughtfully: "I used to read history books, and I didn't feel anything about the sage's edification in ancient times, and I even thought it was too exaggerated. When I came here today, I realized that the work of education is so important, and it has formed our concept and tradition of life. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou raised his thumb and said: "Xiao Nizi, these words are insightful, even if you didn't come in vain." ”

Shi Buquan asked, "Then what should we do?"

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

Shi Buquan: "Don't you care about these people?"

Ding Qi: "It's their own choice, and they have to change it themselves." Even if the sage brother Tao Xin came, it is estimated that there is nothing to be done about them, because this is not a high platform, and they need their Tao Xin. ”

Several people quietly left Xiaoyang Kingdom, coming and going silently, and no one in the local area knew. Tintze said so, but he still left something on the altar of the abandoned temple. It was a golden key, a replaceable treasure of the Realm that he had cultivated by himself, and there was also the idea of the god he left behind, and Xiao Yang Ding was taken out again.

Maybe one day in the future, this key will be picked up by the local people, and subconsciously will receive some information and receive some enlightenment. But it's more likely that the key will never be discovered, and even if it does, it probably won't change anything.

The climate of Xiaoyang is very good, and it is still warm as spring when the cold wind soaks the bones in the Shennongjia Mountains outside. Coming out through the portal, everyone felt the chill of the twilight winter again, Zhuang Mengzhou took out the mink fur from the stone incomplete backpack and put it on again, and suddenly asked with a divine thought: "Teacher Ding, are you still satisfied with this trip?"

Ding Qi replied with a divine thought: "There is nothing to be satisfied with, my purpose is to find Xiaoyang Kingdom and see what kind of world it is, this trip is very smooth." ”

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

Ding Qi: "It's really not, it shouldn't be mutilated, looking at this, the demon king of the South Gate, Zhu Jingyi, has never been to Li, but has found clues on the side of Floating Flower Pond." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "You haven't watched "Fangwai Tuzhi" for a long time, right?"

Dingzi: "If you hadn't mentioned it all of a sudden, I wouldn't have remembered this album." Ever since Ah Quan got out of trouble, I haven't flipped through the "Fangwai Tuzhi", including the copies and electronic copies we made. In fact, it doesn't matter if you watch it or not, anyway, the content has long been memorized. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's true that you don't need to look at it again, because later there was the Fangwai Alliance, and everyone came to the door by themselves, and there were people who didn't appear at that time who could be contacted, so why bother to look at an atlas with vague records, incomplete records, and now it's not reliable?"

Ding Qi: "That's right, but I think we went to great lengths to get and restore this album in the first place. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "The little effort you spent at the beginning, compared with what you experienced later, is simply pediatric...... I have a question, looking back now, doesn't Mr. Ding think it all went too smoothly?"

Ding Qi was a little puzzled: "Smooth?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Yes, it's so smooth! Recall that in just a few years, you have found so many Fangwai worlds, and you have also established the Fangwai Alliance, and even places like Xiaoyang Country have gone for a walk. The starting point of all this is when you got the volume of "Fang Wai Tuzhi", don't you think it's a coincidence?"

Ding Qi: "The reason why it went so smoothly was not in "Fangwai Tuzhi", but because the Fangwai Alliance was established in time. If someone is secretly pushing, then this person is Mr. Zhuang!"

The appearance of "Fang Wai Tu Zhi" helped Ding Qi and others find Xiaojing Lake, but even without this atlas, the outside world still exists. Later, the appearance of Fangwaimen and Fangwai Alliance was not because of the "Fangwai Atlas", after all, it was just a fragmented atlas, and the Fangwai secret method was created by Ding Qi, and the Fangwai Alliance was jointly established by Tian Zhongluo and others.

Zhuang Mengzhou: "But with Teacher Ding's current cultivation, don't you feel that many things were a little strange at the beginning? If I hadn't gone to Baiyun Cave to leave a poem, and Teacher Ding had already created the secret method outside the square, many things would still happen."

Of course, I deliberately went to Baiyun Cave to promote the emergence of the Fangwai Alliance, so that "Fangwai Tuzhi" became no longer important. If someone really designs something behind the scenes, it can also make things not follow the routine designed by the other party.

But before that, the "Atlas of the Outside" was very important, and it was not handed over to you by me, and you didn't come to me at that time. If there is really a master secretly pushing, a lot of coincidences can be created, and the people who are in the coincidences themselves will not be able to detect it. ”

Tintzy: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's literal, I hope I'm too careful." But why did someone leave the "Fangwai Tuzhi" back then? Leaving Jin Ruyi in Xiaojing Lake means that he will never be able to enter again, so what's the point of leaving clues? At that time, there was no secret method outside Fangxi!"

After Ding Qi and the others entered Xiaojing Lake, they found the golden ruyi, and at first they didn't know that it was the treasure of the world, and they thought it was an artifact used to take the moon condensation. Put Jin Ruyi on the shelf, can you open the portal and go out?Of course, it's okay, because that position is not far from the portal, and there is no need to hold the treasure of urging the control world in your hand.

But if you go out and leave without taking away the treasure of the Controlling Realm, and there is no one left in the secret realm of heaven and earth, it means that you can't go back. Since no one can enter this secret realm of heaven and earth anymore, what is the use of leaving the "Fangwai Tuzhi" outside, is it just waiting for someone like Ding Qi to appear?

Ding Qi pondered for a moment before replying with a divine thought: "If you want to enter the secret realm of heaven and earth, you don't necessarily need the treasure of the realm control, and you don't necessarily need the secret method outside. ”

What do you mean by this, I wonder how Tian Qi, Tu Zhi, Lu Fang, and the others entered the Great Red Mountain in the first place? They entered by mistake! They walked in under an inexplicable situation, and they may have understood a certain state of mind and body. This state is spontaneous and unrepeatable, and they themselves are not aware of it and cannot make a clear summary, but this is the basis for the emergence of the secret method outside the square.

Zhuang Mengzhou smiled in his thoughts: "That's right, the special elixir of the secret realms of each heaven and earth, I like the little rooster and old hen who ride the blessed land the most, and the kind that grows up eating the insects on the ancient peach tree." Just throw them out, not to be hurt by the Split God like you would with anything else. ”

Ding Qi: "Don't interrupt, these are two different things. The chickens run out on their own, but someone must first open the door with the treasure of the world. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "That's what I said, in fact, I suddenly became a little greedy! There is nothing good to eat in Xiaoyang Country, this is not far from the blessed land of Changcheng, and I will go to Lao Yang's side when I get down the mountain......

Although Zhuang Mengzhou diverted the topic, Ding Qi had to ponder. It was indeed a series of coincidences that he got the "Fangwai Tuzhi" and participated in the search for Xiaojing Lake, but every step can be reasonably explained.

But from another point of view, there is no human element in this. If the realm of the designer behind the scenes is too high, it can be completely imperceptible. It's just that now that Fan Yang and Ye Xing are dead, even if there are doubts, there is no way to verify them.

Zhuang Mengzhou did not explicitly say whether there was such a possibility or not, but only raised this question, and he finally sent a divine thought to Ding Qi, telling Ding Qi that if he found something, he would go to the You Huai Realm to find him. Of course, Zhuang Mengzhou can't stay in Youhuaijie every day, but when Ding Qi wants to find him, he can say hello first, and he goes to Youhuaijie to wait.

Leaving Shennongjia, Zhuang Mengzhou went to Changcheng Blessed Land to eat chicken again. As far as Ding Qi knows, Zhuang Mengzhou also went to Cuirao Village not long ago to bring out a few long-lived melons, and this time he can also make a long-lived melon scrambled eggs. After Ding Qi returned to Xiaojing Lake, he informed the members of the Fangwai Alliance about the situation in Xiaoyang Kingdom, and everyone was embarrassed.

Ding Qi met another senior at the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance, who was Dongfang Jing's master Ximen Ding. The surnames of this pair of masters and apprentices are quite interesting, I can't figure out that Ximen Ding found Dongfang Jing as an apprentice because he fell in love with his name, and he was very opposed to himself.

Thinking that after cultivating the secret method of closing the mountain in Dongfang meditation for many times, Ximen Ding hurriedly passed the position of the mountain master to his apprentice, he didn't know where to go, and he rarely showed up once a year, and even Dongfang Jing often couldn't contact his old man. There is only one secret realm of heaven and earth that Ximen Ding left to Dongfang Jing, and there are not even many valuable antiques that can be taken out and sold.

Ding Qi originally thought that Ximen Ding was a hermit master of the game Hongchen, but when he met, he found that his cultivation was not much higher than that of Dongfang Jing.

is a little taller than Dongfang Jing, in fact, he is considered a master, but he can't compare with Ding Qi. Ximen must be a little old man who laughs all day long, he has been eating and drinking around all these years, and recently he has fallen in love with chasing Internet celebrities, and his sense of the times and spirit are full.

Dongfang Jing has finally contacted Master again recently. Ximen Ding heard about the recent events in Guanshan and the situation of the Fangwai Alliance, so he hurriedly ran back, and specially came to the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance to meet the leader of the Ding Alliance.

Ximen's plan, since there are a lot of things to be busy, in the future, Dongfang Jing will be mainly responsible for sitting in the secret realm of heaven and earth, and he will be stationed at the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance on behalf of Zhuci Guanshan, and the matter of building the immortal island villa in the small realm lake will also be handled by him.

Dongfang Jing is a good apprentice and respects his master very much, so of course he follows his old man's wishes. After Ximen Ding's master and apprentice met Ding Qi, he warmly invited him to inspect the work of Zhuci Guanshan, and among the existing members of the Fangwai Alliance, Ding Qi had not yet been to the secret realm of heaven and earth, and only the Zhuci Guanshan family remained.

Accompanied by Dongfang Jing's master and apprentice, Ding Qi finally went to Zhuciguan Mountain. He smoothly crossed that mountain range from the first level of the mountain to the second level of the mountain, and then entered the third level of the mountain that Dongfang Jing's master and apprentice had never set foot in.

If you want to enter the second level of the mountain, you must have at least the equivalent of the cultivation of the three realms or above, and you must let the owner of this place open the way with the whip of the mountain; if you want to enter the third level of the mountain, you must at least have a great cultivation. But it's not that anyone who wants to go can go, and they have to agree with the lord of the outside world, and only Lu Juzi has been in before.

Lu Juzi was able to enter the third level of the mountain, because he was Dongfang Jing's collaborator at that time, and he vaguely had the meaning of half a master. Later, there were also masters like Zong Feixia who came, but Dongfang Jing did not invite the master of Zongdao, because after all, this involved the secrets of the Guanshan Mountains. Now that Ding Qi is here, Dongfang Jing's master and apprentice invited him to enter the third level of mountain, and he also showed enough sincerity.

The third level of mountain is an incredible place, where Lu Juzi last saw a mysterious old man, as if he was the embodiment of this outside world. When the old man appeared, the Guan Shan whip in Dongfang Jing's sleeve disappeared for a while.

Now that this scene has been repeated again, when Guan Shanwhip disappeared inexplicably, Dongfang Jing was no longer panicked, but looked very excited. Ding Qi also met the mysterious old man, and what kind of communication there was between the two, outsiders don't know. After Ding Qi walked out of the third level of the mountain, Guan Shan Whip returned to Dongfang Jing's sleeve, and then he sent a divine thought to the master and apprentice 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 cultivate, and at the same time sit in charge of the daily affairs of the Guanshan, and the affairs of the headquarters of the Fangwai Alliance were replaced by his apprentice Dongfang Jing.

Dongfang Jing sent Ding Qi out of Zhuciguan Mountain, and said deliberately in the Longhu Mountain Villa: "I want to thank Ding Mengzhu this time! Although my master has a fixed word in his old man's name, his temperament has always been very jumpy, and now that I have your guidance, I am finally sure to cultivate hard, and my heart as an apprentice is also stable." ”

Ding Qi said with a smile: "He came back just in time this time, otherwise you won't be busy with many things." ”

Last time, Shi Liangde organized an overseas expedition group to visit Zhuci Guanshan, and now Shi Liangde has been detained on Jingsha Island, but the explorer and financier, Mr. Luo Jiansen, has Dongfang Jing's contact information. Luo Jiansen recently started an overseas exploration organization called the Secret Realm Hermitage, which specializes in organizing "insiders" to visit this mysterious and unknown place, and "Master" Dongfang Jing has become their contact.

This is a benefit to the Fangwai Alliance, as long as any Fangwai World is willing to charge a high price and open it to this group of people to visit, Dongfang Jing will be responsible for arranging it. So Dongfang Jing is very busy with things here, and she has bid farewell to the life of an otaku in the past.

Dongfang Jing asked again: "Who is the old man that the Lord of the Ding League saw in the third level of the mountain, is he the treasure of the realm control?"

Ding Qi groaned: "It's okay for you to understand it like this. But in my opinion, it's nothing more than anthropomorphism, he's not a real person, but as long as you cultivate, you can see him in real life. Cultivating the secret methods of the outer worlds, one could already empathize and resonate with heaven and earth, and then be able to communicate with heaven and earth, but now it is nothing more than a more intuitive and direct way. ”

Dongfang Jing nodded and said, "I somewhat understand! Master originally regarded Zhuciguan Mountain as a desolate wilderness where rabbits don't, but now seeing that this place can still be operated like this after the establishment of the Fangwai Alliance, and the cultivation of the Lord of the Ding League is so high, he can break through the mystery that he has not been able to set foot in, and his old man may have been a little stimulated, so he changed his temperament." ”

Ding Qi smiled: "This is a good thing, what else does the Eastern Mountain Lord have to ask?"

Dongfang Jing suddenly thought about it: "There are three Guanshan in Zhuji Guanshan, and the Lord of the Ding League has already been to the third Guanshan, so in your opinion, is it possible that there is a fourth Guanshan?"

Dingzi: "Yes, of course. ”

Dongfang Jing was surprised and said, "Ah! I just said casually, is there really a fourth level of 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 of the secret realm of heaven and earth no matter where you are, it is the fourth pass mountain." ”

What Tintzi meant was not complicated. If you cultivate the secret method of Guanshan to a certain realm, no matter where you are in the secret realm of heaven and earth, you can open the portal and step out, which is equivalent to stepping through the fourth Guanshan Mountain.

In fact, Ding Qi has encountered a similar situation a long time ago. The portal to go out in the world of Kotokodai is not fixed, and it can be opened anywhere and then come out of the bath hole. The rules of the outer worlds are different, and the time and space in the world of Qin Gaotai are different, but this is not the case in other outer worlds.

However, with Ding Qi's current cultivation, the realm he could comprehend was far greater than at the beginning, and he realized that he could actually do the same thing in all the outer worlds.

Dongfang Jing opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time, then slowly nodded and said, "Oh, so that's what happened!"

Having said that, Dongfang Jing didn't know that the realm that Ding Qi was talking about did not specifically refer to Zhuji Guanshan, but was applicable to any world outside the party.

Ding Qi returned to Jinghu City by high-speed rail, and Longhu Shanshu specially sent a car to send him to the high-speed rail station. When he got off the bus, he didn't ask the Fangwai Alliance to send a car to pick him up, nor did he take a taxi, but walked back to Nanlan Community on foot. He walked through the streets and alleys of Jinghu City, his eyes seemed to be a little dazed, and his expression seemed a little trance, as if he was in a state of trance.

It's easy to bump into things while walking like this, and it's not too safe even on the sidewalk, because there are always delivery trucks drilling around. But Ding Qi didn't touch anything along the way, and he didn't even touch the corners of the passers-by's clothes, and the world seemed to turn into a river and lake, and he was a free fish swimming in the rivers and lakes.

Ding Qi's gaze didn't know where to go, as if he was blind to the bustling crowd, but he saw everything so clearly. His breath was ordinary, and at this moment, he seemed to have found a state and entered that state, which was the state in which Tian Qi, Tu Zhi, and Lu Fang inadvertently strayed into the Great Red Mountain.

Tian Qi and the others were chaotic at the beginning, but Ding Qi was clear at the moment, and his cultivation so far was only to discover and explore the world outside the world that people didn't know, but at this moment, he seemed to have seen countless things.

Countless floating thoughts, intermittent fragments, fleeting, and wandering with the waves of the outside world, such as the origin and extinction, such as endless life, is to walk through everyone around you. Ding Qi seems to have returned to the beginning, he studied under the guidance of Liu Feng and was discovered a special talent......

At this moment, the feeling of the outside world seems to be everywhere, everywhere but not at all. Because those are just the prototype or source of the world outside the square, not the real heaven and earth that can hold feelings or form gods, but from another perspective, they are also a living world that is changing in rhythm.

Where did the world come from, Ding Qi already had an answer in a trance. But this answer alone is not enough, where does the colorful glazed tower come from, the source is sand, but the sand is not a colorful glazed tower, and it will not naturally become a colorful glazed tower.

As he walked, Ding Qi suddenly turned a corner and disappeared inexplicably on a street corner, which was so strange that no one noticed. After about ten seconds, his figure came out of thin air from the street corner, and no one noticed it, and the passers-by seemed to ignore it, and no one knew where he had just gone.

Ding Qi's speed was unhurried, and after walking for almost three hours, the gate of the Nanlan community finally appeared on the street, and he disappeared and appeared several times along the way. When he stood across the street from the Nanlan community, his blank gaze gradually refocused, as if he had woken up from sleepwalking.

Ding Qi was about to cross the street, but suddenly frowned, turned around and walked into the alley. The streets and alleys of this area have not been set foot in for at least a year, and they seem both familiar and unfamiliar.

People who live in modern cities don't know if you feel that you are within walking distance of your home or office, even if it's just a block away, you may rarely or never visit. Tintzi came to such a place, with a modern mansion on the side of the road, a wide sidewalk, and an alley next to it.

At the entrance of the alley, there was a man sitting on the ground with his back against the green belt, wearing a dirty torn cotton jacket, his hair was long, and he was draped in a loose dreadlock, looking like a beggar. Why is Tintze suddenly interested in a beggar, because in him, Tincchi can't see what he can see from other passers-by.

The beggar sat there with a cardboard shell erected in front of him, on which were written a few lines: "The urban routine is deep, and the rural road is more slippery." To be a beggar for a day, you need to spend money for a day. ”

As soon as this sign is erected, he can be called a key person in the rivers and lakes. If it's just a bowl, it's an ordinary flower child, but if you put up such a sign, the words are still written with some characteristics, as if you will immediately be upgraded to a street performance artist, which can attract the attention of passers-by.

Several white-collar young men were taking pictures with the beggar, and the beggar was smiling and cooperative. Among them, a man and a woman should be a couple, and the girl seemed to have posted a circle of friends after taking a group photo, and then said to the guy: "Hurry up and pay for it!"

The guy muttered reluctantly: "Do you still have to charge for a group photo?"

The beggar didn't say anything, picked up another piece of cardboard beside him, and turned it over with a few lines of words: "When women complain about men, the first in line is always stingy." ”

When I looked at him again, there was a stack of cardboard next to him. The young man shook his head and said, "No, no, what women say most often is that men don't know how to cherish, don't value feelings, and don't understand women's minds?"

The beggar picked up another piece of cardboard and flipped it over, only to see that it read: "If you are stingy with gentleness, what else can you be generous with?"

The girl was pleasantly surprised: "Master, you are really a wise saying!"

Ding Qi almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard this, this master's call was too casual, people asked for food instead of fortune tellers. The guy had nothing to say, and muttered, "I didn't bring any cash with me." ”

The beggar turned over the sign standing on the ground, only to see a QR code pasted on it, and he grinned and said: "You can scan the code, WeChat, Alipay!" His teeth were very white and neat, and they were not at all in harmony with the padded jacket and velvet pants on his body.

The young man scanned the code and didn't know how much he paid, and then the group entered the building next to it, they should be employees of the company working in the building, and there was a dessert shop in the building's group of shops. As soon as the beggar had put away the cardboard, a girl came out of the dessert shop with a cup of ice cream in the shape of a pink ball.

Eating ice cream on a cold day is also common nowadays, the girl walked up to the beggar and stopped curiously to watch, the beggar took out another piece of cardboard and opened it, only to see that it was written: "All beings are bitter, and you are strawberry-flavored." ”

The girl laughed, scanned the code and paid happily, and then deliberately squatted down to take a photo side by side with the beggar, and then left satisfied, not forgetting to post a circle of friends while walking.

Ding Qi stood not far away and watched quietly, the beggar should have spotted him a long time ago, but he still sat quietly. From time to time, passers-by were attracted by the beggar, and there were always people who took pictures and talked with him, and Ding Qi had already heard several people call the beggar a master.

There was a man in his early thirties who was still very excited and talking, and after a few words, he couldn't stop praising the beggar, and even turned on the live broadcast on his mobile phone, claiming that he had met a strange person when he went out today, a master who had broken away from low-level interests and really saw through the world.

The beggar did not change his face in the face of the live broadcast camera, took out a piece of cardboard and opened it, only to see that it was written: "There is no high-end fun, but it is just to see who is more confident." ”

Ding Qi stood for more than half an hour, and finally waited for the beggar to finally calm down, but he still didn't walk over to speak, just watched coldly. But the beggar couldn't hold back at first, and took out a sign and knocked it on Ding Qi, only to see that it read: "Please accept my kindness." ”

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

Seeing that the other party opened his mouth, Ding Qi stepped forward and saluted: "Senior Ding Qi, I have seen the Demon King of the South Gate!"
