Yang Chengong entered the house and brought Ding Qi a fruit bowl, the shape was very irregular, like an open petal, the wall was very thick, the hand was very heavy, about two feet long and one foot wide, it was actually made of grinding clams shells, and it felt like it had been around for a few years. This is not the South China Sea, how can it produce clams, presumably brought in by the ancients, but they did not take it with them when they moved.

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

There were only six peaches on the plate, but there were ten people here, and Ding Qi walked out of the yard with the plate in his hand, and walked around the dark village, looking for other peach trees. By the time he brought the plate back, there were twenty peaches in it. Ding Qi put down the plate and said, "I didn't pick more, two pieces per person, and I tried them all." ”

Pick up the peaches and take a bite, which is fuller and juicier than the wild peaches outside, and the taste is sweeter. After eating the peach, the oval peach pit is left, and its shell is dense and even close to bone. Don't throw away the nucleus, it's still useful to keep it, Yang Chengong collects it every year, and everyone puts it back on the plate.

After eating the first peach and tasting it first, Ding Qi picked up the second peach and asked, "This thing is also a spiritual plant unique to the blessed land, what is the spiritual effect?"

The corners of Yang Chengong's mouth curled slightly: "Did Lord Ding feel it?" Of course, there is a spiritual effect, this thing can improve physical fitness, detoxify and moisturize the skin, and can also reduce swelling and relieve pain, remove sores and eliminate evil. ”

If you only listen to the previous effects, Ding Qi would still think that it is the rejuvenation fruit, but the effect of this spirit peach to improve physical fitness is the most important. The so-called quality of physique and the strength of physique are two concepts, for example, many people in Jiufang Sky Island are actually very healthy, but most of them are not strong, but it cannot be said that their physique is not good.

And in most cases, physique and physique are related, and a good physique is generally good. The spiritual plant in the Five Heart Valley Five Flowers Valley, has the effect of nourishing vitality and strengthening the body, which is equivalent to a weakened version of the white jade hoof, but it is better than the number and no toxic side effects, ordinary people can even take it as a staple food, but its spiritual effect is still different from this thousand-year-old peach.

A person's physique is determined by the growth environment and genes, and there are long-term and congenital factors, and it is not easy to change them. From this, it can be seen that the spirit peach here is extraordinary, and it actually has the effect of improving physical fitness, Ding Qi asked again: "Then how to take the best spiritual effect?"

Yang Chengong smiled again: "What the Lord of the Ding League should know, you must have your own method. ”

Ding Qi smiled: "That's the same!"

The taking of various elixirs has its own exquisiteness, and each secret technique has its own method of cultivating the form and spirit, which is nothing more than a combination of the two. How to take elixir to make it more effective, Ding Qi learned from Tan Hanchuan, pay attention to the mana of entry, sense how its spiritual effect is transported and absorbed, if you take this spirit peach, you can even sense the change of physique and the trend of change.

Tan Hanchuan's teachings are all about the fire gate, which is related to the furnace and ding technique he practiced, and when Ding Qi took the elixir, he also combined the characteristics of the secret method he cultivated, he would let go of the form and god like a world of heaven and earth, and in this state, he would use the spiritual effect. If it was in a specific world outside the square, he would also try his best to interact with the heaven and earth where this elixir was grown.

Thinking of this, Ding Qi didn't ask Yang Chengong how he took the spirit peach, took the second peach and got up and said: "This spirit peach can't be wasted, I just ate one, find a suitable place to enter the country and eat the second one, I plan to stay here overnight." ”

Yang Chengong: "There are four rooms in the main house and two rooms in the backyard, and the master of the Ding League chooses a suitable place by himself." ”

Ding Qi: "Let the house be given to you, I have already picked a place just now, under an ancient peach tree in the village." ”

Tian Zhongluo: "Since Mr. Ding eats peaches and wants to spend the night here, let's stay too, send two people back to the B&B to say hello, and say that we came out to play all night, so that we can run away in the mountains for us." ”

Tian Zhongluo's mind was quite delicate, Yang Chengong sent two entourages to go out and go back to the No. 5 Valley to say hello, and the others stayed here for the night. Ding Qi took a peach out of the courtyard and walked to the center of the village, where there was a clearing, and next to the clearing there was a thousand-year-old peach tree, and under the peach tree was a stone, the surface of which had been polished smooth, just like a man's seat.

Ding Qi sat down on this stone, Yang Chengong and others also came over to take a look, Tian Zhongluo also smiled and said: "Teacher Ding is sitting here for the night?

There was no danger in the blessed land, and it was not easy for the people who were blind in the black light to stay here, and they all walked back to the courtyard of Fang Cai and no longer disturbed Ding Qi. Ding Qi slowly ate the second peach, and then clasped the peach pit in the palm of his hand, concentrating on the flow of energy.

Even if the thousand-year-old peach in the blessed land has the spiritual effect of improving physical fitness, it is not so obvious after eating two, and ordinary people have not mastered how to absorb the spiritual effect, so they can only take it regularly. With Ding Qi's current cultivation realm, the effect of eating this spirit peach to improve his physique is actually minimal, and he mainly wants to experience it.

While Ding Qi was running his divine energy, he was also letting go of his form and divine body to experience another realm, he was sensing this side of the world, and he was operating his heart plate to deduce his divine powers...... The peach tree sprouted and grew in heaven and earth, turning into the towering tree behind him, and he saw the ancient scene of people in the village in a trance.

The so-called heart plate condenses not only the space scenery but also the traces of time, combined with the deduction of the supernatural power to see the past and the future, the past and the future can be very real, but whether it is real or not is related to knowledge. It was impossible for Ding Qi to condense this heaven and earth world into a heart plate in a short period of time, but he had just gone around the village, unfolding his divine sense to roughly condense this village into a heart plate.

In the dark, Ding Qi sat upright under the tree, but the other Ding Qi in the fixed realm stood up. The branches and leaves of the ancient tree behind him swayed, and the peach blossoms on the tree were in full bloom, obviously thin, but still tall. The surrounding villages have also come alive, and as far as the eye can see, the land is flat, and the houses are like good fields, and there are beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other.

All the scenes are just like the description in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", but the people's clothes are a little nondescript, and it is impossible to tell which dynasty it is.

The peach blossoms bloom in spring, and the weather is not very hot, but most of the adults here are very thinly dressed, and there are many children who hang curtains woven with chicken feathers, which should be local thermal insulation clothes, and there are also elderly people wearing dog skin shoulders.

It was noon, there were not many people in the village, the men were working in the fields, the women had gone to deliver food, only the old man and the children were still in the village for lunch, and there was no one else in the clearing, so no one noticed that Ding Qi was here.

This is the scene shown by Ding Qi's Yuanshen world, it can be said that it is a delusional realm, but it is not completely illusory, for example, the outline of the village in front of him is the ruins that Qi saw, and it is everything he sees by combining his mental plate with deduction. This may or may not have happened in history.

It's hard to describe the cultivation after breaking through the Dacheng cultivation, and ordinary people can't even understand it. Ding Qi walked into this outer world in a different way, and he was still sitting under the tree, holding the peach pit in his hand. With the peach pit as a guide, the world that induces it to grow, and the heart plate deduces the scene of this world, and I have returned to the past as if I had traveled through time.

In a sense, the Dacheng realm may not have explicit supernatural powers, but it can travel through time and space freely, but this crossing is not the other.

Ding Qi stood under the peach blossom tree and saw a person walking from the direction of the village, this person should be the most normal person dressed here, with a pair of cloth shoes, a headscarf, and cotton clothes, which looked like the costumes of the Song Dynasty. Ding Qi turned around on the spot, and changed into similar clothes and walked over.

It seems that everything is manifested according to deduction and will not go beyond knowledge, but the appearance of Ding Qi himself in this scene is obviously an unexpected factor. When the man saw Ding Qi, he was surprised that the rake in his hand had fallen, and he hurried over and saluted, "This little brother, where are you from?"

Ding Qi almost blurted out Lord Chen, because this person's appearance was too similar to that Boss Chen in Valley No. 5, it was simply carved out of a mold, about forty years old, but the clothes were different. Ding Qi replied: "Of course I came from outside, and I came to Guibao Land by chance. Where is this place and who are you?"

The man was very excited and grabbed Ding Qi's sleeve and said, "Sure enough, you are a visitor from a foreign country, and you can only come from outside! The ancestors of the past generations have spirits, and finally an outsider has come!"

Ding Qi patted the back of his hand and said, "Don't get excited, you haven't told me where this is." ”

"This is the blessed land of Changcheng, my surname is Chen, and I am the local patriarch, may I ask the little brother's surname?" The patriarch Chen had already pulled Ding Qi's sleeve and walked out of the clearing, his surprise overflowed, and he kept whispering, "Go to my house and sit down first, and I will tell you the details of the situation here......"

Ding Qi: "My surname is Ding ...... Don't be in such a hurry, you can walk slowly. ”

When he came to the house of the patriarch Chen, he met his wife and five children. His family was also surprised, and the patriarch introduced Ding Qi as a distinguished guest, and called him by his husband, and instructed his wife and eldest daughter to hurry up and kill chickens and cook. Clay pots are used for cooking here, knives are also stone-polished, and there are very few metal utensils, so cooking is mainly the simplest stew.

The chicken soup is very fragrant, and there are fresh fungus picked from the wooden fence in the yard, which is very flavorful, and the chicken is also very delicious, but it feels lighter. The patriarch asked Ding Qi if he ate well, and Ding Qi answered truthfully. Patriarch Chen sighed: "The taste is indeed bland, in the past, stewed chicken was not like this, but there is not much salt in the village." ”

Ding Qi asked: "There is no salt produced here, and salt should be brought in from outside, but can't it be transported in now?"

Patriarch Chen looked worried, sighed and explained the reason to Ding Qi. The people who traveled to the blessed land moved here in ancient times to escape the war, and no one knows how and when they first came in. The previous old patriarch handed over the position of new patriarch to this descendant named Chen Angu ten years ago, but he did not leave until three months ago.

Chen Angu was not a satisfactory candidate for the new patriarch at first, the old patriarch spent almost thirty years, and he never selected a satisfactory successor, and after he was old, he reluctantly handed over the position of patriarch to Chen Angu, and spent nearly ten years cultivating him, because he really couldn't find anyone else, Chen Angu was already the best among all the clansmen.

The old patriarch gave Chen Angu a special peach pit, which could not be broken or burned, and was wrapped in a silver button and hung on the silk rope, which could be wrapped around the wrist a few more times, or the peach pit could be worn on the chest as a pendant. This is the inheritance treasure of the blessed land, and only with it can the door to the outside world be opened.

Chen Angu hadn't fully learned how to use this peach pit after ten years, and the old patriarch had already passed away. The people of this place are completely trapped in this small valley, and many things that are needed in the valley and cannot be produced by themselves were carried back from outside by the old patriarch in the past, including the clothes that Chen Angu is wearing now, and the most important material is salt.

After the death of the old patriarch, no one has this ability anymore, on the surface everyone can still live and work in peace, but in fact the situation is getting more and more difficult, only those who have no heart and lungs do not realize the crisis.

Hearing this, Ding Qi interjected and asked, "Didn't the old patriarch think about taking you to move elsewhere before he died?"

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

Ding Qi: "What's sinister?"

Chen Angu was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not what I said, everyone is talking about it like this." In previous years, the old patriarch also took people out to carry things, but when people came back, they didn't remember what happened outside, and some people became stupid. Later, the old patriarch only took those fools out to carry things, and they were stupid anyway. ”

Ding Qi: "So the people don't want to go?"

Chen Angu nodded and said, "Yes, no one wants to leave, and the old patriarch also said that he can't come back after he goes out." Some things have never happened, so no one could have imagined that after the old patriarch really left, everyone gradually felt bad. ”

Ding Qi: "Where is the old patriarch buried in Chang'an, I want to go and pay respects." ”

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

Dingzi: "Didn't you say he died?"

Chen Angu: "Yes, his old man should have passed away." He told me that he knew that his life was coming to an end and that he didn't want to die here, so he left himself and left the peach pit in front of the portal. He has been out a lot over the years, and he has a family and a family and children and grandchildren outside...... That's all he told me. ”

Ding Qi: "Oh, then what are his old man's last words, why are you so excited to see me?"

Chen Angu: "Before leaving, the old man also gave me a map, saying that if one day I can master the inheritance treasure and open the portal, I can take the clansmen out, there is a place to rebuild the village, and I can also go to his descendants for help." He also said that if I didn't have this ability, I could only pray for the ancestors to appear and outsiders to come in and help us. ”

Ding Qi: "His old man already knew that I would come?"

Chen Angu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the old patriarch doesn't know. It's just that since ancient times, there have been outsiders here, and I don't know how they got in, and I don't know how they got out. But since someone can enter and leave this place, if we are lucky enough, meeting outsiders may be our last chance, I didn't expect to really meet Mr. Ding today!"

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

Chen Angu: "Hundreds of years ago, it's just a legend. When I saw Mr. Ding today, I knew that the legend was true, and you must help us ......"

Ding Qi smiled: "There is no problem for me to help you, but the old patriarch advises you to move, many clansmen are still unwilling, and it is useless for me as an outsider to persuade you, you need to go door to door to explain the reason, and when the time comes, who leaves and who stays is all voluntary." By the way, how long do you have enough salt to eat?"

Chen Angu: "Almost three months. ”

Dingqi: "Then I'll stay here for three months, and I'll give you three months." Moving is a big deal, you need to be well prepared, bring everything you can bring, and you also need to be patient and persuade your clansmen. First, give me the map left by the old patriarch, as well as the precious peach pit. ”

Chen Angu was a simple person, he didn't think much about anything else at all, and immediately took everything to Ding Qi. As Ding Qi expected, the peach pit is the treasure of the control of the blessed land, and it needs to be studied carefully in your hand. When I opened the map again, the old patriarch marked the terrain of the mountains outside, and drew a place where he could move.

Although there is no distance marked on the map, Ding Qi came in from the outside, and the ancient and modern terrain changes are not too big, and they can basically be recognized. From the gateway to the blessed land, you can see the water flowing through a peach forest, and you can walk along the water flow for about two kilometers, and there is a village on the high slope.

About a kilometer from the side of the village, the area drawn by the old patriarch is where the No. 5 Valley is now located. The old patriarch also marked a text in the picture, telling Chen Angu that if he moved out with his clansmen, what would happen in the future, he could also go to Xiaowuzhuang outside Suokou Village to find Wu Qiusheng for help, Wu Qiusheng was the grandson of the old patriarch outside.

There is no location of Suokouzhai and Xiaowuzhuang on the map, it may be that the distance is relatively far, if Chen Angu can go out, he will have to inquire by himself. There are not many literate people here, Chen Angu is counted as one, and he was also taught by the old patriarch back then, so he can still understand this picture.

The meal was finished, the dishes and chopsticks were put away, and Chen Angu's wife brought fresh melons and fruits, which were actually put on a plate made of clams and shells.
