Volume 2 Jihui Ningdu Chapter 218 A Guest in the Mountains

A lonely boat sails on the Nanjiang River, and many of the residents of Changhe Town make a living from fishing. The Nanjiang River originates from Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the Western Wei Dynasty, Mount Everest is covered with snow all year round, very vast, and in summer part of the snow melts and flows into the Nanjiang River.

The Nanjiang River stretches for thousands of miles, the main river spans dozens of big cities in Daxia, and its tributaries cover a wide area, which is the mother river of the people in the south.

Because of this, the fish resources in the river are extremely abundant, feeding many people along the river.

The fishermen on the banks of the Nanjiang River do not need to travel far to return with a full load.

At this time, Xu Xiang and the others, taking a boat, had already crossed the range of fishermen's activities and headed towards Little Ape Mountain.

Little Ape Mountain is not a mountain on land, but a mountain that grows directly on the Nanjiang River, and the earth's crust movement tens of thousands of years ago caused this place to bulge and form such a peak.

The reason why this mountain is called Little Ape Mountain is because it was occupied by apes when merchant ships used to anchor here.

Otherwise, with the human mind, a town would have been built on this mountain.

But there were so many apes here that they tried to go up the mountain, and after staying for one night, they found that all their clothes and goods had been stolen by these apes, except for people.

Since then, no one dared to spend the night on Little Ape Mountain, even if the caravan had to anchor and rest, and did not spend the night on it again.

Some of the apes here are infinitely powerful, comparable to the martial arts practitioners of the human acquired trilogy, and the guards of these caravans are only worthy of this realm, so they naturally dare not make a move with these apes.

Remember the URL

Behind the little ape mountain about ten miles, there is a big ape mountain, this big ape mountain borders the land, and behind the mountain is Shiyan City.

It's just that the mountain road of Big Ape Mountain is rugged, full of rocks, and there are fierce beasts in the mountains, and the caravans dare not cross the Big Ape Mountain to Shiyan City, preferring to take a detour to Changhe Town.

This is also the reason why Changhe Town is so prosperous.

Judging from the location shown in that map, the angle should be from the middle of the Little Ape Mountain and the Big Ape Mountain.

After passing the Little Ape Mountain, they paddled directly towards the Big Ape Mountain.

"Your Majesty, look at it, the angle of this map seems to be in this position, and the person who drew the map should be where we are now." Zhai Yin took the map and looked at the direction of Little Ape Mountain and compared.

Xuanyuan Ding and Xu Xiang compared the scene in front of them, which was no different from Yutu.

"Zhai Yin, can you see what's coming? Could it be that there is a formation here to hide Baige Island? ”

"It's hard to see what kind of formation it is. There are no more than four formations in the world, and you can only use the elimination method! Only after ruling it out can you think of a way to break the formation! The subordinates watched the terrain, and the three-source array was estimated to be unlikely! ”

"And here, the gold and fire elements among the five element elements are very scarce, and it is estimated that it is unlikely to arrange a large five element array. Then the only ones left are the Seven Star Array and the Eight Square Array. ”

Xu Xiang opened his mouth and asked, "Since there are only these two possibilities, how can this seven-star array break the formation, and how should the eight-star array break the formation?" ”

Zhai Yin replied: "Since ancient times, the arrangement of formations has been divided into three types, one of which is the attack formation, which can enhance the offensive power of the soldiers and annihilate the enemy as much as possible; The second is a defensive formation, which uses the surrounding layout and the mutual reliance of the soldiers as the core to defend against the invading people; The third is the auxiliary formation, which can be attacked and defended. This hidden Baige Island must belong to the auxiliary formation. ”

"In my master's opinion, the auxiliary formations are generally based on the Three Source Formations and the Five Elements Formations. And the difficulty of arranging auxiliary formations, using the Seven Star Array and the Eight Square Formations is tantamount to ascending to the sky. I've never been exposed to this level of auxiliary formation, so I don't know how to break the formation. ”

Hearing that Zhai Yin didn't know, Xuanyuan Ding was a little disappointed, originally thought that Zhai Yin was studying under the formation master Guan Baishan, and he could see it.

"If my master were still alive, he might be able to see something......

Xu Xiang took the map in his hand, looked at the things drawn on it carefully, and put forward an opinion, "Zhai Yin, do you say that the content drawn on this map is related to the formation?" You see, except for Baige Island, only Little Ape Mountain is painted in it, and the other mountains or islands in the middle of the Nanjiang River are not depicted. ”

"I think, will this method of breaking the formation have anything to do with Little Ape Mountain?"

Zhai Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master Xu, there is some truth in what you said. Why don't we go to Little Ape Mountain? ”

Now, although the approximate location of Baige Island has been determined, there has been no progress, and it has returned to its original place, and there is still no clue about the disappeared Baige Island.

Lu Tianyao rowed the boat and leaned towards Little Ape Mountain.

I have to say that the scenery of this little ape mountain is still good, and the river surface reflected in the sunset is outlined into a green landscape painting, which looks very beautiful.

However, the crowd was in no mood to enjoy the view, and they logged up to the east side of Little Ape Mountain.

There is a rough dock here, carved out by caravans passing by before.

Tie the boat rope to a large rock, and the group ascended to the mountain island of apes.

In addition to the green trees in the mountains, the cries of apes are not stopped, and in addition, there are some birds flying on the top of the mountain, without a trace of human beings, it seems very quiet.

After climbing the mountain, they found a relatively flat place and sat down.

It was almost evening, and the sun was only half above the horizon, and the sky was starting to darken.

"Ling'er, what time is it?" Xuanyuan asked.

"Your Majesty, it's time now." Zhai Ling'er took out the dry food they had prepared, put it on the ground, and replied.

It's more than five o'clock in the afternoon! It's only February, and it's getting dark early.

It was almost time to eat, and they had been wandering the river without eating.

If, after eating the dry food, you can't find some clues, then you can only camp on Little Ape Mountain temporarily.

"I'm going to collect some firewood!" Lu Tianyao got up, and now it was about to start entering the night, and the temperature around him was getting lower and lower.

After Lu Tianyao left, everyone took the dry food, ate it, and chatted.

In the mountains and forests, there are many small heads, all of which are apes in the mountains, and they are leaning on the big trees from a distance, looking at these uninvited guests.

A little white-haired ape came running up and down, and it was clear that the little ape was very bold and curious about new things.

"Oh ho ho ......" the white ape whispered, pausing as it approached them, and slowly approaching.

After all, it was a species it had never seen before, and although it was curious, it did not dare to rush directly.

"Your Majesty, I'll go get rid of it!" Zhai Yin said, and was about to get up and drive the ape away.

"Huh! No. They are the owners of the mountain, and we are just passers-by. There is no reason for a guest to drive away the host. ”

The little ape's approach, unhindered by them, grew bolder, and staggered to their side.

It walked towards Xu Shaoling, who was gnawing on jerky, and in its eyes, Xu Shaoling was the smallest and least dangerous.

It screamed "oh hoo", and a pair of small eyes stared at the jerky in Xu Shaoling's hand.

"You want to eat?" Xu Shaoling took the jerky and asked.

"Oh ho ho!" It screamed vigorously, and its two little hands kept gesturing and waving. It's like the gluttony and anxiety of an adult holding a candy high and a child can't reach it.

Xu Shaoling handed over a part of the jerky, the little ape's eyes lit up, and he grabbed it, revealing a cheerful cry, and then ran to the side quickly, as if he was afraid that Xu Shaoling would regret taking it back.

Everyone looked at the little ape curiously, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.

After running to what it thought was a safe distance, it sat down on the ground as if it was deliberately trying to learn how to sit, and then beautifully put the jerky in its hand.

As it chewed, it kept making pleasant noises in its mouth, as if it was very pleased with the taste of the jerky.

Lu Tianyao packed up the firewood, and everyone lit the fire.

At this time, the little ape, who was still enjoying the delicious jerky, suddenly let out a frightened cry when he saw the fire, and then ran madly into the mountains and forests, but without thinking about it, he stepped on the air and fell into a mountain pit.

When the apes in the mountains and forests saw this scene, they all cried out in panic, but none of the apes dared to rush up.

The little ape screamed miserably in the middle of the pit.

Seeing this, Xu Shaoling hurriedly got up and walked over and picked it up from the pit. I wanted to let it go, but it seemed to have injured its leg, and before it could take two steps, it fell.

"Young Master, it seems to be injured!" Xu Shaoling said to Xu Xiang.

"Oh, bring it back and show me." Xu Xiang replied.

Xu Shaoling picked up the little ape and walked back, but the little ape kept struggling in his arms, and the closer he got to the fire, the more frightened he became.

"Don't move! Let the young master show you your legs! Xu Shaoling hugged it tightly and didn't let it escape.

"Young Master!" He handed the little ape to Xu Xiang, who held it in his hand and felt that its white fur was very clean and supple, and it should be taken care of often.

The little ape seemed to be very resistant to the fire, and drilled in the opposite direction.

"Don't move! This fire won't hurt you! It's very warm, you see! Xu Xiang clasped its armpits with one hand, and stretched out his other hand towards the fire, stopped above the fire, slowly roasted the fire, and then gently stroked its fur with his warm hand.

Xu Xiang's words, as well as the stroking seemed to have magical powers, and the little ape slowly stopped struggling, but turned his head and looked at the fire curiously.
