While they were talking, several people had already walked to the island group, left the wooden plank road and stepped onto a stone path, along a peninsula extending into the lake, and at the end there was a stone arch bridge connecting another island.
There are more than 30 large and small islands in this area, nine of which are connected by bridges. The original vegetation has been appropriately preserved and transformed into ingenious natural landscapes.
The granite path twists and turns through these islands and bridges, and finally reaches the largest island in the lake. The word "Youyuan" is engraved on the rocks on the roadside, which should be the name of the island's garden.
Xiaojing Lake is much larger than Blue Sky Lake, but the size of the islands here is not as large as that of the islands in Blue Sky Lake.
The island in front of you is actually a mountain in a lake above the water. It covers an area of about one-third of a square kilometer, or about 500 acres, and the highest point is more than 100 meters.
After scanning with his spiritual consciousness, he could basically "see" the whole island. There are more than 30 buildings scattered on the island, with different functions. A dozen of them are residences, and some are landscapes.
They are combined with vegetation and natural terrain, and they are ingenious and unique. They are obviously designed by experts.
With these buildings as nodes, there are ninety-nine sections of road on the island, including granite paths, stone stepping paths, blue brick paths, rock steps, and mature earth trails, which intersect with high and low levels through forests and around rocks. The scenery is different as you move around.
After admiring it, Hua Zhenxing began to build a heart map in his soul. What he built was not the heart map of the playground in front of him, but an island in the blue sky lake thousands of miles away.
The name of that island is Shudeqiu.
There are many islands on the Blue Sky Lake, and there are currently ten islands that have been included in the development plan. They are the center of the Blue Sky Washing Formation and the nine surrounding formation nodes. Currently, monks from Yangyuan Valley are stationed...
In addition to Bikong Island named by Hua Zhenxing, Old Man Yang named the other nine islands respectively as Shudeqiu, Chiwangqiu, Mengyingqiu, Wufuqiu, Shenminqiu, Black and White Qiu, Shenweiqiu, Kunwuqiu, and Wumingqiu.
.
Among these ten islands, Bi Kong Island is not the largest. The largest one is Shudeqiu, which covers an area of more than one square kilometer and the highest point is more than 200 meters above the water.
Huazhenxing has decided to build all-level training courses affiliated with the International Yangyuan Shu Association there, and build a supporting resort scenic area to provide recuperation guidance for customers taking Chunrong Dan.
The construction style of Shudeqiu can refer to the "Youyuan" in front of us. Of course, it is impossible to copy the drawings of Ba Fang's outer door exactly, but we can learn from its design pattern... The name of the garden is called "Fangzhong Garden".
Hua Zhenxing planned to carve the word "Fangzhong" on the cliff next to the Shudeqiu Island Dock. This was inspired by the scene, because Bikong Lake is either the outside world or the real world.
This matter needed to be implemented as soon as possible. Huazhenxing constructed an overall plan in his mind, and then used the mind of the gods to make the Yuzhen Express and return it to Fesuo Port. Yangyuan Valley would complete the specific details and start construction.
Not to mention what Hua Zhenxing was thinking about, the group of people did not go deep into the island, but walked along the lake shore to the other side of the island where the view is the most open. There is a lakeside pavilion with a corridor.
There are tea tables and tea stoves in the waterside pavilion. Ding Qi and Xian Hao invited the two guests to sit down and drink tea. While drinking tea, Ding Qi asked: "How far has Mr. Hua's secret method of cultivating foreign methods reached?"
Hua Zhenxing was a little embarrassed: "Well, well, actually, I haven't put in much effort, and my level is still far away." He paused and said, "I know firsthand that Fang Wai's secret method is too difficult to practice! People like Fang Wai sect, Teacher Ding
Where did you find them all?”
With Hua Zhenxing's qualifications, understanding, and current state of cultivation, he feels that practicing the secret method outside the prescription is extremely difficult, so it is indeed not as difficult and profound as it is, and it is simply two extremes from being easy to learn the Yangyuan Technique.
Ding Qi explained with a wry smile: "I didn't find it, it was brought together by everyone. This is due to chance and luck, otherwise there would be no Fangwaimen."
Xian Hao asked Manman: "Didn't you learn the secret method of Fangwai from Xiaohua?"
Hua Zhenxing was the first to answer: "Without Teacher Ding's permission, I can't teach Fangwai's secret method to others, including Manman, and besides, my own cultivation is not very good."
Manman also explained: "Xiaohua is not very interested in Fangwai's secret method, and neither am I. My Yangyuan Technique has not yet reached the five realms of perfection. Fangwai's secret method is so difficult to practice, so there is no need to be distracted for the time being."
It is estimated that only Manman can tell this kind of truth, and actually declare to his face that he is not interested in someone else's unique secret method.
Xian Hao was amused, and seemed to tease her deliberately: "If you are successful in practicing Fang Wai's secret method, you can discover many unknown secrets and witness unimaginable mysteries."
Manman blinked his eyes and said: "Then I'd better practice the Yangyuan Technique first. If you want to see such a place, you can ask your Fangwai Sect for help. There's no need for everyone in the world to practice the Fangwai Secret Technique, right?
"
Ding Qi was also amused, and nodded repeatedly: "That's indeed the truth! And I think Xiaohua's ambition is not outside of Fang Wai either.
Born in a dirty and troubled world, it is better to return to the world with peace and tranquility than to seek a paradise in the world. The former is just a delusion, while the latter still has a glimmer of hope, and in the hands of Director Hua, this glimmer of hope has become possible."
It is true that Hua Zhenxing is not very interested in the outside world, so he has not worked hard to practice the secret method outside. Whether it is the desolate Shenyin Kingdom or the beautiful Xiaojing Lake, in his opinion, it is nothing more than a larger grocery store
That's all.
What he wants to change is the neighborhood, city, country where the grocery store is located, and the real world where people live. He wants to change the real people in this world, including their living conditions and physical and mental state.
The scenery of Xiaojing Lake is indeed beautiful, but how can it compare to the Blue Sky Lake that he personally built?
Seeing what Ding Qi said, Manman asked: "Then what does Teacher Ding want when he created the secret method outside Fangwai?"
Ding Qi pondered: "There are many other worlds in this world, some of which may not be known to anyone, and there are no portals connected to the real world. I am afraid that even I can't discover them, so let's pretend they don't exist.
The known outer worlds are all connected with the present world in some way, but the situations are different. Some have no people at all, and some still have human races thriving.
In some outer worlds, the inheritance has been cut off due to various reasons, and people living there are no longer able to open the door to the real world, and do not even know the existence of the real world. Maybe one day there will be worries about the hidden kingdom of gods.
If the inheritance continues and the treasure of world control is in the hands of ethnic leaders or priests, they can still open doors to travel to the present world. Almost all factions in the Fangwai Alliance have this origin.
But this kind of inheritance is fragile. For example, the Poseidon inheritance of Manman's little friend's tribe, once it is cut off, these outside worlds will become desperate, and it may no longer be possible to open the portal.
I have found many worlds outside the Far Side with unbroken inheritance. The main purpose of establishing the Far Side Alliance is to protect their inheritance so that the tribes living in it can continue normally.
Even if the inheritance of that world is cut off for some reason in the future, Fangwai Sect can help it continue.
I also found some other worlds where the inheritance has long been severed and the ethnic groups are trapped in the wilderness. I can choose the opportunity to help their ethnic groups continue the inheritance and try to avoid the fate of the Shenyin Kingdom.
As for those outer worlds where there are no people or no one lives anymore, if I can find and open them, I will take the treasures of the controllable worlds and use the treasures of the uncontrollable worlds to create artifacts to replace them and leave them in the world for inheritance.
For example, the Shenyin Kingdom, I will leave its inheritance to Xiaohua.
I have always believed that the existence of all things has its meaning...Classmates Hua and Manman, what do you think these extraterrestrial worlds mean to the present world?"
Hua Zhenxing replied: "One of the meanings is to preserve various environments and species, including environments that can no longer be replicated in reality, species that are extinct or do not exist at all."
Manman blinked and said: "If World War III happens, it will be a good shelter there."
The other three people all laughed, and Hua Zhenxing laughed and said, "That's true! Teacher Ding took me to open the Kingdom of Shenyin, gave me the treasure of controlling the world, and taught me the secrets of Fangwai. This should be his intention, right?"
Ding Qi: "It's not a bad idea to use it as a temporary refuge from disaster during wars. But it's impossible to stay in the hidden country forever. Our predecessors have taught us lessons."
Xian Hao frowned and said: "It's actually not very useful to be a refuge from disaster. If your cultivation level is less than the second level, you are likely to get sick after entering. You can only rely on your own immunity to get through it. If your cultivation level is less than the third level, you will be sick after you come out.
No memory can be retained.
As for those who have not reached Dacheng in cultivation, they will not be able to bring anything that originally exists in the world outside the Fang. Even if they have Dacheng in cultivation, there will be a price for taking away artifacts from the world beyond the Fang..."
What is the difference between the outer world and the cave temples of various practicing sects? These three points mentioned by Xian Hao are also the most important. Due to possible differences in the microbial environment, ordinary people may indeed fall ill after entering.
Ding Qi held the tea cup again and said: "Don't talk about me anymore! Xiaohua, when you come to Jinghu this time, do you plan to stop by Wucheng?"
Hua Zhenxing: "I am indeed planning to go to Wucheng, but not now..."
Hua Zhenxing wanted to go to Wucheng to implement the cooperation project between the Wucheng campus of Feishui University of Technology and Jili State. Then he would go to study in person and visit the Kunlun League headquarters. He told Teacher Ding all his ideas.
Ding Qi shook his head: "I suggest you go now! As far as I know, Wucheng Zhiwei Building is not closed during the Chinese New Year. Leader Mei is there cleaning tables and sweeping the floor on New Year's Eve. You should go and have a meal quickly."
Hua Zhenxing hesitated and said: "Wouldn't it be better to go to Zhiweilou for a meal? I plan to wait until Leader Mei is punished before going to pay homage to the mountain."
In today’s information age, almost all New Year greetings are online.
The reason why Hua Zhenxing and Manman rushed to Jinghu on the first day of the Lunar New Year was because they really should come. They had not met Teacher Ding since they arrived in Dongguo.
Hua Zhenxing originally wanted to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Feng, but Mr. Feng told him not to make a special trip and did not tell him where he was. From what Hua Zhenxing learned, Leader Mei did not want anyone to disturb Mr. Feng on weekdays.
As for visiting Leader Mei to pay New Year's greetings, Hua Zhenxing was a bit out of reach and inconvenient. He didn't even have the contact information of Leader Mei, and theoretically he had never even met him in person.
This is like an official from the Guilin government. There is no problem in paying New Year greetings to Charles online, but there is no need to go to Charles's house.
On the high-speed train to Jinghu City, Hua Zhenxing and Manman chatted in a small group with Shi Shuangcheng and Guangren for a long time.
Hua Zhenxing learned that Zhiwei Building was not closed on New Year's Eve, and had taken many orders for New Year's Eve dinners. Leader Mei cleaned tables and swept floors, and was busy until about eight o'clock in the evening.
Even their family's New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at Zhiwei Restaurant at nine o'clock in the evening. On the first day of the new year, Zhiwei Restaurant continued to open, and Leader Mei was always busy in the restaurant.
Time-honored restaurants in local cities become busier during the Spring Festival holiday.
Even if Hua Zhenxing wants to pay New Year greetings to Alliance Leader Mei, he can't go in the middle of the night, right? But if he goes during normal hours, Alliance Leader Mei is working in the restaurant... As for going to Zhiweilou to eat, isn't that embarrassing?
Look at the monks from various sects in Kunlun today, who dares to eat at Zhiwei Tower?
There is a saying in the West that customers are gods. In fact, it has nothing to do with gods. It might as well be translated as "rich people are uncles". But which monk dares to go to Zhiwei Building and ask Master Mei to clean the table for him, while he sits there and orders food?
Pretending to be an uncle?
Leader Mei himself should not care about it, but what would the disciples and successors of the Three Dreams Sect and other experts from the Kunlun Alliance think?
It's just ordinary people who don't know anything. The monks of the various Kunlun sects will never do that. This is different from the situation when Old Man Yang deliberately went to Zhiwei Restaurant to refresh the menu.
Moreover, what Old Man Yang can do does not mean that others can do it. But Ding Qi made such a suggestion, and Hua Zhenxing was of course surprised.
Ding Qi asked, "Do you know how long Mei Meng will be punished?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Master can't punish his apprentice endlessly, right? It's been several months, so it should be almost over."
Ding Qi shook his head and said: "What does it mean to be almost the same? This is practice and tempering, and what matters is opportunity. As the saying goes, the person who untied the bell needs to tie the bell. Whatever you cause, you should end it!"
Manman had a different opinion: "Isn't this Mr. Yang's fault? Xiaohua didn't even know about it at the time!"
Xian Hao asked again: "If it weren't for classmate Xiaohua, would Senior Yang do such a thing?"
Manman suddenly reacted and said: "Teacher Ding means that when Xiaohua went to Wucheng Zhiwei Building, when will Leader Mei's punishment end?"
Ding Qi finally nodded and said: "I don't know exactly what Mr. Feng said to Alliance Leader Mei. I'm just making a guess."
Xian Hao added: "Teacher Ding's judgment of people's hearts has always been very accurate."
Hua Zhenxing: "Then what should I do after I go there? Can Teacher Ding make it more clear?"
Ding Qi: "Just do it!"
After saying this, he did not say anything. What Hua Zhenxing asked was what to do. Xian Hao seemed a little dissatisfied, glanced at Ding Qi, and then said to Hua Zhenxing and Manman: "On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Lidong's Chinese cuisine is opening. Let's have a banquet."
Monks from various sects in Kunlun.
May I ask if you have invited Alliance Leader Mei? If Alliance Leader Mei cannot live without Wucheng Zhiwei Restaurant, how can he go to Jilidong National Food? Whether he goes or not is another matter, but it is wrong if you don’t invite him!"
Due to the limited venue size of Kilidong Chinese Cuisine, Huazhenxing can only invite 300 people this time.
The list of guests for the banquet was entrusted to Niu Yiping, because Hua Zhenxing was really not familiar with anyone except the people he met at the seventy-seven dinners.
But some people cannot be invited in this way, such as Umeno Shi.
Whether he can invite Alliance Leader Mei is one thing, but whether he can or not is another matter. If Hua Zhenxing wants to invite Alliance Leader Mei, he has to do it himself, even if it is conveyed through Shi Shuangcheng, it seems very unscrupulous.
Hua Zhenxing scratched the back of his head and said, "After hearing what you said, I really should go, but it's a bit embarrassing."
Ding Qi let out a long sigh, looking obviously disappointed. Hua Zhenxing quickly asked: "What's wrong with Teacher Ding? Did I say something wrong?"
Ding Qi picked up the teacup, looked into Hua Zhenxing's eyes and said: "The world is so stained that people often forget who they are. You have experienced a lot since coming to the East Kingdom. Sometimes the more you experience, the more you witness. At the same time,
The more confusion there is."
Xian Hao hit him with his elbow: "For those who are celebrating the New Year, don't play riddles with children. It's not even the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!"
Ding Qi put down his teacup and asked: "Xiaohua, if Leader Mei is an ordinary hotel cleaner, and you can only find him in the hotel during the Chinese New Year, wouldn't you go?"
Are Kunlun Alliance leader Mei Yeshi and hotel cleaner Mei Yeshi two people? Is Mei Yeshi ashamed of this and ashamed to see others? Is it because of this that you came to ridicule him and laugh at him?
He is who he is, can't you go and give New Year greetings to a hotel cleaner? Shouldn't you thank and invite him?"
Hearing this, Hua Zhenxing trembled and broke into a cold sweat. He quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Teacher Ding, for waking me up! I'm lucky to still have you as my teacher."
Ding Qi's expression finally softened, and he smiled and said, "This is the real you, the real him."
Hua Zhenxing performed a salute across the tea table that he learned only after he came to Dongguo. It is a very grand salute in the spiritual world. When Manman saw Hua Zhenxing doing this, she also stood up and saluted along with him.
The two people on the opposite side quickly came over to help them up. Ding Qi shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, we are all modern people, and this is not the fashion."
Xian Hao smiled and said: "If you kowtow during the Chinese New Year, you have to give me lucky money!"
Ding Qi: "Of course, of course, there are two big gold bars per person! It's a bit vulgar, but it's festive..."
Everyone sat down again and drank a cup of tea. Ding Qi thought for a while and then said to Hua Zhenxing slowly: "Leader Mei is being punished, and this matter is related to you. This is not only his experience, but also your experience.
Mr. Feng asked Leader Mei to be the cleaner in the restaurant. If there is any difference between Leader Mei and the cleaner in the hotel in your eyes, it means that one of you still has a problem. Either him or you.
Why did Mr. Feng punish the leader of the Mei Alliance like this? Think about Yu Cangwu in Senior Yang's eyes, and think about Mei Yeshi in your eyes before. I guess Mr. Feng is already very angry!
If Leader Mei has a problem, Mr. Feng can punish him, but if you have a problem, Senior Yang will probably punish you. If that's the case..."
Ding Qi hesitated to speak, but Manman answered: "Xiaohua will have to be beaten again!"
The two people opposite were amused again, and Xian Hao said: "It's okay that you didn't have time to go to Wucheng Zhiwei Tower before. Now whether you should go or not is not the problem of Alliance Leader Mei!"
Hua Zhenxing said with a face full of shame: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my problem. Which day do you think is suitable for me to go?"
Ding Qi: "It's too late today, let's forget about the second day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow. According to the custom, we are visiting relatives, so let's go on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
