Outside the firewood house of the water thief cottage on Junshan Island, Xiao Ding and the others dried all the clothes on their bodies.

Then, the two dragged the bodies of the water thieves on the island, including those who were still alive and not completely dying, to the courtyard of the firewood house.

There are more than 100 bodies, and they are also a large pile. This small yard of the firewood house is almost full.

Xiao Ding and Mu Yiyi moved all the dry firewood in the firewood room into the yard, covered the pile of bodies, found vegetable oil from the kitchen and poured it, and then lit it.

It doesn't matter if there are still people alive in these bodies, they are all piled up together anyway, and they are all set on fire.

Otherwise, in this summer, so many corpses on the island will be left to rot naturally, and it will be easy to produce a plague. If a fisherman passes by an island and catches the plague, he may bring the plague to land.

Therefore, cremation is the easiest and direct way to dispose of the body. When Xiao Ding was fighting on the front line and cleaning up the battlefield, he also used this method most often to dispose of the corpses on the battlefield.

Xiao Ding didn't have any sympathy for these evil water thieves, even if he threw the wounded people who were still dying into the fire, he didn't feel the slightest guilt.

A large pile of corpses in the yard burned, and the firewood house in the yard was also set on fire. Xiao Ding and the others hurriedly withdrew from the yard, they were not ready to fight the fire, anyway, this is a den of thieves. If they all are ignited, they will be burned. Save yourself from having any more thieves come and take root.

However, in order to prevent the fire from igniting the mountains and forests on Jun Mountain, Xiao Ding and Mu Yiyi tore down the surrounding walls and made a separation zone to prevent the fire from spreading.

If the cottage is burned, if the mountains and forests are also set on fire, then you will become a sinner. It's a pity that such a beautiful natural landscape is set on fire.

The two watched as the entire cottage turned into ruins in a sea of fire. Then I went down the hill to the docks.

This small pier was obviously also built by the water thieves for the convenience of travel. There are more than 20 small boats moored here, and two or three galleons.

After leaving Dongting Lake, you will immediately enter the Yangtze River, and then it will be a retrograde waterway. If you rely on two people to row forward, it will be very difficult to sail against the current.

So Xiao Ding and Mu Yiyi felt that this time they would directly use the water thief's galleon to go to Jingzhou Miyun Mountain.

Although the two of them sailed the boat, it seemed that there were not enough people. However, Xiao Ding has a lot of strength, one person can hold up several people, pull a cable, adjust a sail, and he can do this kind of work alone.

The two drove the sailboat away from Junshan Island and headed north, heading straight for the exit of Dongting Lake.

Near the intersection of the Yangtze River at the outlet of Dongting Lake, there is a city on the bank, which is the location of Yueyang City in later generations, but in this era, this city is not called Yueyang, but called Baling.

In the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan mentioned that "Teng Zijing guarded Baling County", which refers to this place. And the famous Yueyang Tower in history is in this Baling City.

Xiao Ding and the others passed through here and decided to go to the city to replenish some supplies, so they deposited the big ship at the dock in a fang market where they watched the ship on behalf of others. The two paid 200 yuan, said that they would come back at noon to get the boat, and then went ashore and walked to Baling City.

This Baling City has been a prosperous place since ancient times. It is located on the main transportation artery, and the amphibious transportation is extremely convenient. Merchants from the south to the north, knights from all over the world, and literati who enjoy the famous mountains and rivers all stop to rest and take a stroll around this historic city.

The two walked into the city with the flow of people from south to north and bought some clothes, department stores and other daily necessities. After all, Mu Yiyi's burden has been lost, at least the things she usually needs need need to be bought.

Xiao Ding specially bought an extra tent and a bed, which were included in the jade pendant space. In this way, he will not have to spend the night in the same tent with Mu Yiyi in the future, nor will he have to sleep on the ground anymore, and he can also avoid some of the embarrassment of two people living in the same room.

When it was almost noon, the two went to a restaurant to order some food, packed it and took it away, returned to the dock, retrieved the sailboat, and then set sail into the Yangtze River.

There was a small cabin on the galleon, and the two of them had lunch in the cabin. After Xiao Ding released his senses, the two of them didn't have to go out of the cabin to watch the ship move. Just stay in the cabin and rest. It's just that this is a huge drain on Xiao Ding's divine consciousness.

Because of this ship, it is now all up to his divine sense to discern whether the course is correct, whether there is a reef in the river ahead, and whether there are other ships on the river that need to be avoided.

However, there will be exercise only if there is consumption, and Xiao Ding will not miss this opportunity to cultivate his divine sense. This consumption also helps to increase his proficiency and flexibility in controlling his divine sense.

The fishermen on the other boats on the river were surprised that there were no people on the boat, and some even began to suspect that the boat was a ghost boat.

The so-called ghost ship usually refers to what accidents the ship encountered on the way to sail, such as wind and wave attacks, bandit attacks, disease poisoning and other accidents, resulting in the death of all the people on board, and only a lonely ship is left to drift with the wind alone.

The galleon traveled along the Yangtze River against the current, all the way to the west, but fortunately, the southeast wind often blows on the river in summer. The galleon is full sail and is not slow at all.

After five or six days of driving, the big ship had already arrived in Zigui County, Jingzhou. At this time, both sides of the Yangtze River are full of cliffs, and the big rivers flow between the mountains and the big canyons.

Xiao Ding felt very familiar when he saw this terrain, he had been to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River before crossing, and it seemed that he had already reached the vicinity of the Three Gorges.

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, located in the hinterland of China, is the general name of the three gorges of Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge. The Three Gorges stretches from Baidi City in Fengjie County, Chongqing City in the west, to Nanjin Pass in Yichang City, Hubei Province in the east, and spans several county towns such as Fengjie County in Chongqing, Wushan County in Chongqing, Badong County in Hubei, Zigui County in Hubei Province, and Yichang City in Hubei Province.

However, the Three Gorges in this era were all under the territory of Jingzhou, which was different from the geographical and administrative division of later generations.

Driving to this area, Xiao Ding and Mu Yiyi could no longer stay in the cabin to hide. Because of this waterway near the Three Gorges, the high mountains on both sides of the river confront each other, the cliff wall is steep, the narrowest point is less than 100 meters, not only the water flow is turbulent, but also the bright reef reef in the river can be seen everywhere, if you are not careful, the big ship will hit the reef, or be pushed to the shore by the turbulent current, and hit the stone wall on both banks.

Therefore, both of them had to concentrate on sailing the sailboat.

After Zigui County, Badong County, Wushan County, through the three Grand Canyons, you will arrive at the White Emperor City in Fengjie County.

This White Emperor City Xiaoding had also heard of it before crossing over, and the most familiar one was in the four famous novels, Liu Bei died here, and the allusion to the White Emperor Tuogu also came from here. In addition, when Xiao Ding was in elementary school before crossing, he once memorized an ancient poem by Li Bai, which was also written here.

However, when passing through the White Emperor City, Mu Yiyi had no intention of stopping, she still guided Xiao Ding to continue sailing upstream.

The galleon sailed through the valleys of the mountains, and the further they went, the fog above the river in front of them became, and the visibility became lower and lower. Eventually, visibility above the river was less than 10 zhang away.

With such low visibility, if there are ships coming from the opposite side, it will be too late to dodge when they see each other.

Fortunately, Xiao Ding's divine sense is strong, and he can not be affected by the fog, and can detect the ships and reefs in the river in front of him in advance.

Mu Yiyi relied on her familiarity with the terrain here, and took Xiao Ding to sail the boat, and soon came to a place called Yubeipu.

For the place of Yubellypu, Xiao Ding feels a little familiar when he hears it. He suddenly remembered that the famous Eight Arrays Diagram placed by Li Zhuge Liang seemed to be placed here.

According to legend, these eight formations are laid out before Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan, and the base stones are arrays, with eight vertical and horizontal bases, a total of eight eight and sixty-four bases. According to Qimen Dunjia's "rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening" laid out eight formations. The specific meaning of the eight formations is: heaven, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, snakes, these eight are also. Among them: the wind is born on the ground and the tiger follows it, the clouds soar in the sky and the dragon follows it, the bird is an animal and must fly in the sky, the snake is a sting and the fish must be on the ground, and the eight have the meaning of being born in the same place. The daily changes are infinite, comparable to 100,000 armor soldiers.

After the boat sailed here, Mu Yiyi said to Xiao Ding: "Brother Xiao Ding, we are here, let's go ashore!" ”

The big ship broke down, and the two abandoned the ship and went ashore. After going ashore, I didn't go far forward, and I saw dozens of large rocks on the beach on the shore.

Xiao Ding couldn't understand these big stones, he only felt that among these big stones, there was a faint murderous aura hidden in the sky, he let go of his divine sense to scan it, and the divine sense was like a mud cow entering the sea, and he never returned, and there was no feedback back to a little information.

Xiao Ding was secretly surprised, knowing that these stone piles must be strange, maybe this is the eight array diagram laid by Zhuge Liang back then?

However, Xiao Ding began to wonder again, could it be that the era he traveled through also had the Three Kingdoms period?

was questioning in his heart, and suddenly heard Mu Yiyi say beside him: "Brother Ding, let's go up the mountain together, these stone piles in front of us are the mountain gate big array laid by the ancestors of our sect, which has the role of concealment and attack and defense, enter the formation for a while, you must follow me closely, don't make a mistake, there are many organs inside, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger." ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he was shocked again, it turned out that this was indeed a formation, and it was still the mountain gate formation laid out by the ancestors of their Misty Cloud Sect. It seems that this should not be the eight-array diagram that I know.

So, Xiao Ding asked casually: "Since it is the mountain gate big array set up by the ancestors of your sect, it must be very powerful, I don't know what the name of this big array is?" ”

"This big array is called the Bagua Array, also known as the Eight Array Diagram!" Mu Yiyi replied casually.

Xiao Ding stumbled and almost fell.

It's really an eight-array diagram!

But this eight-array diagram doesn't seem to be the other eight-array diagram!

Or maybe Zhuge Liang didn't put up any gossip array at all, but this big array existed here in advance, but was discovered by Zhuge Liang by accident. Xiao Ding guessed.

However, no matter who laid this big formation, Xiao Ding was curious about this formation. He really wanted to see what kind of power this famous Eight Array Diagram had for thousands of years.

So he didn't think much about it, followed closely behind Mu Yiyi, and walked into the big array according to the route Mu Yiyi walked.

However, perhaps because of the correct route, both of them had already reached the middle position, and Xiao Ding didn't notice anything abnormal, but just felt like walking a maze, turning around and around.

However, this was not the result that Xiao Ding wanted to see, and he really wanted to see what strange this big array would be.

So, he decided to take the risk himself, intending to deliberately take the wrong path and try what the consequences would be.

However, Xiao Ding is not a reckless person, he still has to prepare in advance before taking risks, he first used the vajra technique, and then took out the mace from the space and held it in his hand.

When he was ready, he suddenly turned around and turned onto a fork in the road.

As soon as I walked out, I saw a fog suddenly rise in front of me, lingering between the stone piles in front of and behind. I can no longer see the road ahead, and I can't distinguish between the east and the west.

Immediately afterwards, the wind suddenly blew up, and the fog was blown away, but the flying sand and rocks covered the sky and the earth, so that people's eyes could not be opened, and it was still impossible for people to distinguish the direction.

Just when the flying sand and rocks were rising all over the sky, Xiao Ding heard the sound of swords and drums rumbling around him, and the sound of shouting and killing was looming. And the stone piles in front of and behind him are also beginning to change, strange rocks are sagging, like spears and swords, horizontal sand and soil, overlapping like mountains. These strange rocks and sand are all attacking Xiao Ding's side.

Xiao Ding hurriedly dodged, wielding the mace in his hand to hit the strange rocks and sand piles that were crashing towards him.

Yet, though he was as strong as an ox, he was even much stronger than an ox. But to deal with these flying sand and rocks, it is not enough.

One stone flew away, and then two boulders flew in. If an ordinary person is hit by this boulder, he will be seriously injured if he does not die. But Xiao Ding has vajra technique, and after the big stone hits him, he just feels a lot of pain, and it doesn't really hurt him.

Even so, it didn't take long for Xiao Ding to be busy and sweating profusely.

It was only at this time that Xiao Ding regretted it a little, his idea of risking his life was too reckless. Now he didn't know which direction to go and get back to the path he had taken before.

And the wind in the formation is gusting, the flying sand and rocks are continuous, and sooner or later his strength will be exhausted, and it is estimated that he will be unable to escape death at that time.

Just when Xiao Ding was tired of coping and regretting it, suddenly Mu Yiyi's voice came into his ears.

"Brother Ding, come this way!" Mu Yiyi shouted not far behind Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding hurriedly retreated in the direction of Mu Yiyi. It didn't take long for the two of them to stand on the right route again, and all the wind, fog, flying sand and rocks before were gone.

Seeing that Xiao Ding was out of danger, Mu Yiyi looked at Xiao Ding and said angrily: "Brother Xiao Ding, why are you disobedient and walking around by yourself?" Fortunately, I found out in time, otherwise, you would have been trapped in this formation, and sooner or later you would have been trapped to death. ”

Xiao Ding was a little ashamed, and he was embarrassed to say that he wanted to personally verify the power of this big array, so he had to reluctantly say: "I, I didn't keep up with ...... for a while"

Mu Yiyi thought that Xiao Ding really didn't keep up, so she didn't blame him anymore, but just said: "Let's keep going, Brother Xiao Ding, don't get lost again this time!" ”

Xiao Ding nodded, and the two continued to walk forward.

After going through the twists and turns of the irregular route, the two finally walked out of the big formation.

When the two stepped out of the stone formation, a towering mountain suddenly appeared in front of them.

This is the Misty Cloud Sect's chief helm Misty Cloud Mountain? Xiao Ding looked up and thought to himself.
