Tian Xiaoding's Tianyao Village was in Fengluanzhou, located in a valley within three peaks. The terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. At that time, Xiaoding only set up a small defensive formation at the entrance of the valley, leaving Cheng Yaowei and others Spent more than twenty years safely.
Of course, this is mainly because the cultivation level of the monks in Fengluan Continent is generally low, and there are very few monks who know the formation. At the same time, Tianyao Sect is just a small and unknown sect, and does not have many powerful enemies.
However, after Xiaoding moved the village to Dazhao Mountain in Huaxuanzhou, the situation here was different.
There are seven peaks in the Dazhao Mountain area, which were named by Xiao Ding and others: Dazhao Peak, Xiaozhao Peak, Dongzhao Peak, Xizhao Peak, Nanzhao Peak, Beizhao Peak, and Qingzhao Peak.
These seven peaks combined together cover an area of about a hundred miles. Such a huge area cannot be compared to the small valley in Fengluan Continent.
If you want to defend such a huge area, it is not an easy task.
First of all, the total number of people in Tianyao Village is only over 150, so lack of manpower is the biggest problem. Even if Xiao Ding arranges the Mountain Gate Formation on all seven peaks, someone still needs to control the formation.
If all the more than one hundred and fifty people were dispersed to the seven peaks, each peak would only be able to accommodate 212 people.
Therefore, for the future development of the cottage, it is still necessary to continue recruiting troops.
Therefore, when it comes to cottage construction, we should not just focus on the present, but also take a long-term view, make long-term plans, and plan for the future.
After Xiao Ding and others carefully inspected the situation on each peak, Xiao Ding finally made a decision: He asked the senior sisters Cheng Yaowei and Lu Tianshuo to go to Dongzhao Peak, and then they would be responsible for everything on Dongzhao Peak. ; Let Tian Xiao'e and Ou Muyun go to Nan Zhao Peak and be responsible for all affairs of Nan Zhao Peak from now on; Let Yue Yurou go to Nan Zhao Peak and be responsible for all affairs of Nan Zhao Peak from now on; Let Li Tianliang go to Beizhao Peak and be responsible for everything of Bei Zhao Peak from now on Affairs; let Deng Feng and Shan Tong go to Xiaozhao Peak and Qingzhao Peak respectively, and then be responsible for everything in Xiaozhao Peak and Qingzhao Peak.
As for the main peak, Dazhao Peak, it will naturally be managed by Xiao Ding himself.
Although Xiao Ding first clarified the responsibilities for everyone, but now the number of people in the cottage is small, when building the cottage, we should try to concentrate the people as much as possible, so that the work can be done easily with more people, so that the efficiency can be higher.
For the plans on each mountain peak, Xiao Ding and everyone also drew simple sketches one by one. Xiao Ding, Senior Sister, Li Tianliang and others had stayed in Tianyang Sect before, and they all knew the layout of the buildings on each peak of Tianyang Sect.
Therefore, it is enough to imitate the buildings on each peak of Tianyang Sect.
Of course, in the early stages of construction, due to the lack of manpower and material resources, everyone can only choose the most needed buildings to build first. For example, several wells need to be dug on each peak to meet the daily needs of the people living on the mountain. Another example is residential buildings, meeting halls, canteens, huts, etc. These buildings must be present on every peak, and their specific locations need to be planned.
As for the common tools needed to build the cottage, there is no need to worry about this. When Fengluanzhou moved, everyone had already brought all the items from the original cottage with them.
At the same time, Xiao Ding also took out dozens of cows from the Qiankun Pot for everyone to use.
In fact, the cows that Xiao Ding took out were no longer the dozens of cows that he had raised in Fengluanzhou Village.
This is because the time in the world of Qiankun Pot is very different from the time outside the pot. Although it is only more than four months in the world outside the pot, more than one or two hundred years have passed in the world inside the pot. .
The life span of ordinary farm cattle cannot live for such a long time. Therefore, the cattle that Xiao Ding took out are all the descendants of the cattle that were originally put in.
The Qiankun Pot has abundant spiritual energy and lush water and grass. There are no natural enemies for the cattle. They reproduce naturally and have already developed into a large group in the Qiankun Pot.
Xiao Ding just selected dozens of young and strong cows.
Of course, some of the people in the village recognized the cows from the previous village. When they saw that the cows Xiao Ding took out were different from the previous ones, they asked Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding told them that the previous cows had given birth to new calves in their Yuling Bags. These new calves were stronger and more useful than the previous cows.
As a result, no one continued to dwell on the matter.
Regarding the construction of the cottage, since it has been planned and everyone goes their own way, Xiao Ding does not need to worry too much.
Next, Xiao Ding plans to enter the Qiankun Pot to refine the high-level formation flag.
However, Xiao Ding cannot directly enter the Qiankun Pot, because if he takes out so many high-level formation flags at once, it will definitely scare everyone. .
We are all cultivators, so we naturally understand the importance of resources. Although the materials required to refine a high-level formation flag are not very rare, if the quantity is large, it will arouse others' suspicion.
Therefore, Xiao Ding decided to find an excuse, saying that he went to a nearby city to buy them, and then secretly entered the Qiankun Pot to refine them. When he came back, he said that he had purchased these high-level formation flags. This way it won't arouse other people's suspicions. Anyway, no one else knows how many spiritual stones he has.
However, Xiao Ding really doesn’t have many spirit stones left now. Almost all the white and blue spiritual stones he had obtained from the secret realm and snatched from other monks had been spent or given to Ouyang Qing to take away. Most of the spiritual stones he has left now are some of the high-level spiritual stones he obtained in the Undersea Dragon Palace, such as yellow, red, and purple spiritual stones. However, the number of these high-level spiritual stones is very small. , Xiao Ding is reluctant to waste it.
Of course, now that we have arrived at Dazhao Mountain, we will probably not spend too much on spiritual stones in the future. After all, in this era, houses are basically built with local materials or fired on site. If you are going to buy building materials, it will be a bit far away.
The daily expenses in the village were naturally borne by the village's public funds. In the past, Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong had often earned spiritual stones for Tianyao Village.
However, if Xiao Ding wants to earn spirit stones, it is very easy. He only needs to refine elixirs and weapons, and then he can exchange them for spirit stones. Or you can choose some spiritual plants from the Qiankun Pot and sell them, which can also be exchanged for many spiritual stones. If it is a relatively rare spiritual plant, it can be sold at an auction, and the price can be even higher.
Therefore, even if Xiao Ding does not have the spirit stone in his body, he will not worry about the spirit stone.
After having a plan in mind, Xiao Ding did not leave immediately. He also wanted to make preparations in advance for the safety of everyone in the village. After all, on the way here, they had already offended the people of Jiuli Sect and Qingfeng Village. These two forces are not easy to mess with. Xiao Ding is worried that after he leaves, the Jiuli Sect and Qingfeng Village will send people to cause trouble.
Therefore, before Xiao Dinglin left Dazhao Mountain, he first used his existing mid- to low-level formation flags to set up a small defensive array on the main peak of Dazhao Peak. He also gave the jade tablet that controls the opening and closing of the formation method to the master sister Cheng Yaowen for safekeeping. At the same time, she also told her that after she left, if any foreign enemies came, let her lead everyone to hide in the formation and activate the formation for defense.
Although the defensive capabilities of this small defensive formation are not as good as those of large defensive formations, if the opponent does not have many high-level monks, there is nothing that can be done with this formation. If the opponent has more high-level monks, this formation can also last for several days and will not be broken down all at once.
Of course, if there are people who know formations among the enemies, or super-high-level monks, that's a different matter.
In addition, for the sake of safety, Xiao Ding also deployed formations on the other six peaks. However, the formations he deployed on these six peaks were psychedelic formations, not defensive formations.
This is mainly because, even if a defensive formation is deployed on the six peaks, there are not so many people to control the formation to defend against the enemy. Therefore, it is better to concentrate all personnel on the main peak, Dazhao Peak, so that everyone can work together to defend against the enemy.
Therefore, Xiao Ding arranged psychedelic arrays on the other six peaks, naturally hoping to
Enough to enchant an intruder.
The psychedelic array on the ground will make people disoriented and unable to find the correct route. At the same time, a large amount of fog will be produced in the air, which has a hallucinogenic effect, so that intruders flying in the air will also be unable to distinguish their direction in the fog, or will have hallucinations.
Xiao Ding still gave all the jade tablets used to control the opening and closing of the psychedelic array to the senior sister for safekeeping. The senior sister has managed Tianyao Village conscientiously for so many years, so Xiao Ding naturally trusts her very much.
After arranging everything in Dazhao Mountain, Xiao Ding said goodbye to everyone in the village.
I heard that Xiao Ding is leaving Dazhao Mountain and going to a nearby city to buy formation flags. Yue Yurou suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Xiao Ding, I want to go with you."
Xiao Ding glanced at Yue Yurou and saw her looking at him expectantly, her big watery eyes full of hope and pity. Xiao Ding knew that Yue Yurou had a crush on him and wanted to take advantage of this trip to get in touch with him alone.
Ever since Xiao Ding returned to Tianyao Village in Fengluan Continent from Beiwangzhou, Ouyang Qing has been by Xiao Ding's side. This gave Yue Yurou, who had a crush on Xiao Ding, no chance to be alone with Xiao Ding.
This time Ouyang Qing happened to return to her sect Bihaixuan Iceland, and Xiao Ding planned to travel alone, so Yue Yurou didn't want to miss this opportunity to meet Xiao Ding alone.
