As soon as Ding Qi opened his mouth, he spoke for almost an hour, and the soup was added to the pot, the bean skin and vegetables were added, and the alcohol for the fire was also replaced, and this came to an end.

Ye Xing slowly drank a glass of wine, put down the glass and said, "Doctor Ding, you are really a great expert, and you have already made some discoveries. In fact, I know what you said, and I have been looking for the place you said. Regardless of whether the name is Da Chi Mountain or Xiao Jing Lake, in short, there is a place in this Jing Lake City that ordinary people don't know. ”

Ding Qi felt that the noisy sounds around the food stalls had disappeared, as if only Ye Xing was left in front of him, and he widened his eyes and asked, "How did Ye always know?"

Ye Xing: "I heard from someone. ”

Dingzi: "Who told you?"

Ye Xing: "My grandfather told me. You just mentioned Chishan Temple, and my grandfather was a monk of Chishan Temple. ”

Ding Qi: "Can a monk still have a grandson?"

Ye Xing: "Soon after the liberation, the land reform in the countryside divided the fields, and he returned home. ”

Ding Qi: "I heard Lao Yang Tou say that the monks of Chishan Temple were rich before liberation! When the Cultural Revolution broke the four olds, the Bodhisattva in the main hall was broken, and the silver dollars in it were sprinkled all over the ground, is this true or false?"

Ye Xing nodded and said, "This is true. My grandfather was not an ordinary little monk back then, he was the leader of the temple, equivalent to the second-in-command. When he returned home, he brought a lot of silver dollars with him and built a new house in the countryside. At that time, there was already land reform, and if it was before liberation, it is estimated that a lot of land would have been bought. Until now, I still have Yuan Datou left by my grandfather at home!"

Ding Qi: "Fortunately, after the liberation of the land reform, your grandfather didn't buy land, otherwise he would have become a landlord and was criticized, let's not talk about this, what did your grandfather tell you?"

Ye Xing: "Drink first!"

Tintzi: "I did it!" you continue. ”

Ye Xing's expression was a little unfathomable: "My grandfather told me that there is a mysterious and unknown place in this world, which is obviously there, but ordinary people can't see or touch it, so it's called Fang Wai." ”

Ding Qi: "Outside the square, isn't it just to point out where the family stays! I often see such lines in TV dramas, and Lao Nan is a person outside the party." Your grandfather is a monk, does he mean something else, such as a Buddhist saying?"

Ye Xing smiled: "Teacher Ding, although you are very knowledgeable, you don't know everything. The so-called Fang Wai is not a Buddhist term, it is in the Book of Changes, the gentleman respects the straight inside, and the righteousness is outside the square. ”

Ding Qi frowned slightly: "What you said about this square outside is to treat others and things outside the body, and the attitude is square, right? This square is a verb, not a noun! Straight inside and outside is an idiom, which talks about an attitude of being a man, respecting oneself and treating others with righteousness, which is different from the meaning of the outer circle and the inner square that many people say." ”

Ye Xing: "There are also in Chu Ci, the absurdity outside the square, galloping outside the square, and resting in the universe." ”

Ding Qi nodded thoughtfully: "This is what your grandfather said." ”

Ye Xing: "Qu Yuan is not a monk, nor is he a Taoist, it can be seen that the word Fangwai has existed since ancient times, which is the original vocabulary of Chinese Chinese, used to describe the mysterious and unknown places outside the world, and originally had nothing to do with monks and Taoists. ”

Ding Qi: "Mr. Ye's knowledge is so wide, are you a historian or a family?"

Ye Xing smiled a little proudly: "I don't dare to compare my knowledge with Teacher Ding, I only went to three books in college back then, and I didn't get a doctorate or master's degree." But since my grandfather told me this, I did some research. ”

Ding Qi: "His old man told you that there is a place outside the realm of Lake City. So did he tell him where it was, where it was, and how to find it?"

Ye Xing put away his smile and sighed: "The old man just told me two words, those who are destined can see it, and those who are not destined cannot see it." Other than that, he didn't say anything. Then he stretched out his head and lowered his voice, "But I suspect that it is likely to be the treasure place of Chishan Temple!"

Ding Qi was stunned: "Where the treasure is hidden?"

Ye Xing: "Think about it, the monks of Chishan Temple are very rich! You have also heard about the Cultural Revolution, which broke the four olds, smashed the Bodhisattva, and the stomach was full of silver dollars." My grandfather was a temple blessing, and he brought a lot of silver dollars home when he was still vulgar after liberation, and I still have more than a dozen yuan at home. But Yuan Datou is just a thing of the Republic of China, right?

From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the present, 1,500 years! How many good things have there been? Those gold and silver treasures, antiques from all dynasties, which are not treasures now, where have they gone? Since the monks of Chishan Temple are so rich, it is impossible for them to have only Yuan Datou, so it is very likely that there is another place to hide treasures. ”

Ding Qi: "You said it means you didn't say it, since you can't find it, what's the difference between having it and not having it?"

Ye Xing: "How can you say that you can't find it? Since someone can hide them in, someone can find them." Didn't my grandfather say it, those who are destined to see it. Teacher Ding, do you want to find it?"

Ding Qi: "I've been looking for the past two months, but not for gold and silver treasures. ”

Ye Xing: "No matter what it is for, as long as you want to find it." Now that we have a clue, wouldn't it be a shame not to find it?"

Ding Qi: "But your grandfather didn't say anything, do you have any other clues?"

Ye Xing pressed his hands on the desktop and said, "Yes! I have studied for so many years, but I am not a fool!"

Ding Qi: "You really have." ”

Ye Xing: "Of course, do you want to find it with me?"

Ding Qi: "Yes, even if I don't have you, I want to find it myself." In any case, always find that place to see for yourself. ”

Ye Xing: "In that case, don't talk about it here, come to my office tomorrow, and we'll talk about it separately in private." I have something to tell you, and I want to ask you for a favor!"

Before going out the bill that day, Ding Qi couldn't help but ask again: "Mr. Ye, Lao Yang Tou told me a story about a monk of Chishan Temple secretly eating meat, did you really take a night pot and stew it under the bed?"

Ye Xing glanced at Ding Qi and replied after a few seconds: "I asked my grandfather about this matter when I was a child, and he said it was true. I also asked him if he had eaten it and he said he had it too. I asked again if it was delicious, and he said it was delicious. My dad heard me, pulled me out, beat me up, and sternly warned me not to ask my grandfather about the temple again, and not to tell anyone about it. ”

Ding Qi: "When did the old man die?"

Ye Xing: "I just started junior high school. ”

Dingzi: "It's a pity! You should have asked more and asked more clearly. ”

After eating supper, Ding Qi did not go back to the dormitory, but called a substitute driver to go back to the apartment he rented near the school, and went upstairs in a daze, and the time was almost two o'clock. But the next morning he got up early, washed up and went out.

The first floor was originally used as a training school, but now it has been converted into a psychological clinic, and the third floor has always been used as a leadership office. Ye Xing's office is in the innermost one.

Ye Xing was dressed up very energetically today, with hair wax on his head, a very white shirt, and a striped tie. He looked at his watch and smiled, "Teacher Ding, you're still in a hurry! It's only 8:40 now." ”

Ding Qi smiled: "Didn't Mr. Ye come very early. ”

Ye Xing got straight to the point and said: "There are some things that are inconvenient to talk about in the food stall yesterday, but you can talk about it here today." In fact, I suspect that the successive abbots of Chishan Temple have kept a secret, and my grandfather is not the abbot of the temple, so he only knows some information, but he does not know the specific inside story.

When eating supper yesterday, Ye Xing only later mentioned that his grandfather was a temple blessing. The temple in charge of incense is not the second-in-command in a big temple, but it is also full of oil and water.

Ding Qi asked: "Chishan Temple is long gone, what Mr. Ye means is that you have found the abbot of the year, or found the clues left by the old abbot?"

Ye Xing knocked lightly on the table and said: "An expert is an expert, you can guess right in one sentence! The old abbot is no longer alive, but I have found out the whereabouts of a batch of things in Chishan Temple back then."

On the eve of liberation, there was no abbot in Chishan Temple, and the abbot's common surname was Zhang, called Zhang Jinlin, and there were many contacts with local dignitaries, and he was very respected, and often participated in various official activities, presided over various ceremonies and celebrations, and was also regarded as a local big man. Before the PLA crossed the river, he ran away first.

Zhang Jinlin first went south to Guangzhou, then to Hong Kong, and then to Taiwan for a while, and finally to the United States. When exactly he returned to the world, no one can say clearly, maybe he changed into a vulgar attire when he fled from the lake, or he may have arrived in the United States.

In short, in his later years, Zhang Jinlin was not a monk, but a well-known collector and patriotic overseas Chinese, who owned a manor in the United States, and was said to be proficient in oriental culture and various art appreciation. In the early nineties after the reform and opening up, he returned from the United States in the name of visiting relatives and was warmly received by the local government.

After Zhang Jinlin died, he left a will to donate some things, two of which were donated to Jinghu City. A batch was donated to the Jinghu City Museum, and it was identified that they should all be heirlooms of Chishan Temple and various cultural relics from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.

Another batch was donated to the library of Jinghu University, and it is his collection of various books, both in Chinese and foreign languages, and some of them are said to be rare ancient scrolls collected on the mainland before liberation. The clue that Ye Xing wanted to find might be in this batch of rare books.

Ye Xing said to Ding Qi: "It took me a lot of work, and it was not easy to inquire about one thing clearly. In the Chishan Temple of that year, there was an ancient scroll called Fangwai Tuzhi, and I don't know which dynasty and which generation handed it down. During the Cultural Revolution, the Chishan Temple was demolished, and I don't know where the things went.

Later, it occurred to me that maybe this ancient scroll was not lost during the Cultural Revolution, but was taken away by Zhang Jinlin before liberation. So is there a possibility that Zhang Jinlin later donated it to the library of Jinghu University? Mr. Ding, you work in the library, you might as well look for it. If there is such an ancient scroll, just write down the contents. ”

Ding Qi thought for a while and said, "I really haven't heard of such a book. ”

Ye Xing: "It's not necessarily a book, in fact, I don't know what it is, but I know that it may be stored in the library of Jinghu University." ”

Ding Qi: "Jinghu University has a collection of millions of books, and many alumni, returnees, and cultural celebrities have donated a lot over the years, and there are many ancient scrolls. There are many that have not been repaired until now, and it is not easy to find them. ”

Ye Xing: "Then I'm going to trouble Mr. Ding, I specially prepared equipment for you, you can use it to shoot it." Whether you can be sure that it is the Fang Wai Tuzhi we are looking for, as long as it is a suspicious scroll, you can take a picture and save it, and I can find an expert to identify it. ”

As he spoke, he handed over an ultra-high-resolution digital camera, only a business card with a thickness of less than a centimeter, very small and easy to carry in his pocket. It also has a retractable optical lens with illuminated spotlights, which is especially suitable for shooting various documents at close range.

Ding Qi took the camera and studied it for a while, then looked up and said, "Mr. Ye, you have premeditated, right?" This was asked so suddenly, Ye Xing's smile was a little stiff, and it was difficult to answer for a while, and the atmosphere in the room was also frozen.

Ding Qi is not stupid, when Ye Xing hired him, he made a request not to resign from his job in the library, he felt very strange. Tu Zhi and Lu Fang both knew Ye Xing, and Ye Xing recommended Ding Qi to them, so Ding Qi only went to ask Ye Xing last night.

I heard about such a thing again today, and combined with all kinds of signs, Ding Qi had already reacted, these were all routines! Ye Xing had already designed it, and he wanted to use him to investigate the so-called Fangwai Land step by step.

If you change someone, even if you realize it, you may only think about it in your heart and save some face for the other party, but Ding Qi immediately made it clear on the spot, which also made Ye Xing feel very embarrassed.

Ye Xing didn't speak, and Ding Qi didn't look away, just looked at him. After a while, Ye Xingcai smiled dryly: "Teacher Ding, there are some things that you don't know very well. I think that Tian Xianglong had asked a master in the rivers and lakes to see Tian Qi at the beginning, and it was through my introduction, so I also knew some information.

Tian Qi said that he has been to a place, and now you know what it is. He's mentally ill, and no one takes what he says seriously.

As for Tu Zhi, his father actually asked a master to show him, and the time was still before Tian Qi, and it was also through the way I introduced, so I also heard about his situation, but I didn't pay attention to it at that time. But when I heard about Tian Qi's situation later, it was impossible not to pay attention.

Tian Qi died in front of your eyes, and the last person he saw was you, and you hypnotized him at that time. It was only a few months ago that I found out that there was a batch of rare books and ancient scrolls donated by Zhang Jinlin in the library of Jinghu University, and you happened to work in the library. If I don't go to you, who are I looking for?

But don't be careful, even if you don't have these things, Boci Medical will hire you, you are indeed the expert we urgently need. ”

Ding Qi was a little speechless, Tu Zhi's parents knew an expert like Liu Feng, and they still had to find some so-called masters in the rivers and lakes, but after thinking about it, it was normal, as a leader of a state-owned enterprise, Lu Fang, not only came to find a regular psychiatrist like him, but also didn't go to the senior monks of Yuejiang Temple? In the eyes of ordinary people, no matter who they are, they can solve their problems.

Ding Qi smiled faintly: "Mr. Ye, your door is quite wide!"

Ye Xing also laughed and said: "People in the rivers and lakes, there are more roads, more connections, and more methods, otherwise how could I be so busy all day long?"

Ding Qi: "Mr. Ye, in fact, you don't have to make such a big detour, just say it directly." ”

The best way to deal with people like Ding Qi is to say anything directly, don't play with any heart, in fact, it is not very useful to play. Ding Qi is an excellent psychological counselor and psychotherapist, and his habit is to face problems, open the inner world of others to find the truth and root cause, and even directly touch the secrets in the depths of his heart.

Ye Xing asked rhetorically: "Teacher Ding, if I said such a thing at the beginning, would you believe it, and who would believe it?" In fact, Mr. Lu of the Urban Construction Group, who I only met not long ago, heard about her at the wine table, and was immediately taken aback, and quickly tried to recommend her to you. ”

This is a reasonable explanation, even if Ye Xing told him about it at the beginning, Ding Qi may not be able to believe it, and if he can't get it, he will suspect that Ye Xing is also a psychopath. Dan Ding Qi kept looking at Ye Xing's eyes, and there was another inference in his heart.

The man with the hammer in his hand is looking for a nail in his eye. Ye Xing had been looking for clues to the outside world, and the two clues he knew were precisely related to Ding Qi. Tian Qi died at the hands of Ding Qi, and Ding Qi happened to work in the library afterwards, so it was difficult for Ye Xing not to suspect that Ding Qi was also a "fellow believer" and was also looking for the same thing.

Ye Xing hired Ding Qi to Boci Medical, and introduced Tu Zhi and Lu Fang to him successively to "see a doctor", which was a kind of observation and temptation. If Ding Qi also knows some inside information and is looking for the same place, then it is equivalent to Ding Qi in the light and Ye Xing in the dark, and Ye Xing can use Ding Qi to find the clues he wants, and he has a good calculation.

After Ding Qi saw Lu Fang, he went directly to Ye Xing to ask. Only then did Ye Xing understand that Ding Qi didn't know about it, and the words had already been spoken, so he had a plan for the next step. Ding Qi didn't know about the ancient scroll, and Ye Xing hoped to find the ancient scroll through him, so he told him this.

Ding Qi thought of this, looked at Ye Xing and asked, "Thank you Mr. Ye for telling me the truth!" But your Jianghu routine is too deep, and I am a little stunned in my heart. If there's anything you haven't said, tell me now, and I'll be taken advantage of by you again before you know it. ”

For Ding Qi, this remark is actually a reaction test. Ye Xing waved his hand awkwardly and said, "I didn't want to tell you what you said, but I didn't know what to say, and I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it." Now that you believe it, it's easy to do. I just want to find that place, and Mr. Ding, you also want to have a basis for cooperation, right?"

Ding Qi had a rough idea, so he didn't say anything, put away the camera and said, "Okay, I'm really interested, let's work together and see if we can find it." ”
