After all, a ship sailing on the sea is not as stable as on land. Although Dugu Wen has the power to reach the sky and the earth on land, he actually gets seasick and seasick at sea. He was already weak after being poisoned, and his seasickness became more serious every day. He kept vomiting in the cabin, so the people of Qin and Yue were worried that he would not be able to walk the three hundred miles of waterway.
Wei Jingzhao said: "If we land at Qingnipu, I am afraid that the Yan army will attack and harass us, and we will not be able to rest in peace and recover."
Xu Lai said: "This is easy to do. Six or seven miles outside Qingnipu, there is an island in the sea that looks like three hills, called Sanshan Island. There is no human habitation or garrison on this Sanshan Island, but it is rare to have fresh water. Let's go to the North Island. Lu often replenishes fresh water on this island, so that there is no need to dock at Qingnipu Port. Because Sanshan Island has a convenient location, my Dong Gang built a thatched cottage on the island and had more than a dozen brothers stationed there."
The Qin Yue people said: "How wonderful, this way we can hide on the island without having to worry about Yan's army, and we don't have to cross the sea. We can wait until Dugu Zhang recovers from his injuries before heading south."
Xu Lai nodded and said, "It's just that the island is small, and you have to be able to endure the loneliness if you want to live there."
Jiang Shuo once lived in Jijin Cave for two years, but he was not afraid of being alone. He said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I stay at sea with grandpa for a year and a half."
Duguxiang said: "As long as I can cure grandpa, I am not afraid of loneliness."
Qin Yue said: "Ayun, in order to completely cure Dugu Zhang, I have to stay on the island for a few months. Are you willing to accompany me?"
Yun Gu said: "Of course I want to be with you. As long as I am with you, what difference does it make to me between a prosperous city and an overseas island?"
Xu Lai said: "Okay! That means Peng Gufan will sail the boat to escort all the great sages back to the Central Plains. I will stay with the young master and Qin Great Xian on Sanshan Island for a while."
Jiang Shuo said: "Brother Xu said that the island is lonely, why do you need to accompany us? You should protect all the wise men and return to the Central Plains first."
Xu Lai said: "Where did the young master's words come from? Xiao's first priority when he handed over his head to Xu was to find the young master and follow him around. What's more, after Duguzhang recovered from his illness, you also needed Xu to drive you back to the Central Plains. Boat."
Seeing Xu Lai's sincerity, Jiang Shuo knew he couldn't drive him away, so he had to say, "Then I'll give it to Brother Xu."
So Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang took Dugu Wen, Qin Yue and Yun Gu, and exchanged boats with Xu Lai to go to Sanshan Island. Wei Jingzhao, Li Tengkong, Maoshan Taoist priests and doctors followed Peng Gufan southward. Crossed the Wuhu Sea for three hundred miles and returned to the Central Plains.
After Jiang Shuo said goodbye to Wei Jingzhao, Li Tengkong and others, he said to Ye Qingyao, "Sister Qingyao, be careful along the way." However, Ye Qingyao did not comment on his words and acted as if he had not heard them. Jiang Shuo didn't know why he reunited with Ye Qingyao this time. She always avoided him. There were sudden changes every day these days. He never had the chance to ask her why she was so cold to him suddenly. Seeing that the separation was imminent, he couldn't do it. When I asked again, I could only say softly: "I'm going. Sister Qingyao, please take care of yourself." Then he jumped out of the boat.
Xu Lai raised the sail and took advantage of the wind to head to Sanshan Island in the southeast. Peng Gufan led everyone to a large ship loaded with water and supplies, and sailed southward along the tide. The large ship they were originally on The boatmen turned westward, swung their oars and sailed towards Qingnipu in the north. They wanted to make some repairs and supplies in Qingnipu before returning to Bobi City.
Sanshan Island is very close, and Xu Lai's boating skills are even more outstanding. There are more than a dozen boatmen on the boat, sailing on the dark sea under Xu Lai's command. Dugu Xiang couldn't help but become a little worried, and said: "Brother Xu, I see this It’s so dark above the sea that you can’t see anything, so don’t make a mistake and miss the island.”
Xu Lai laughed loudly and said, "Ms. Dugu, don't worry, don't you think it's time?"
Through the dim starlight, Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang discovered that at some point, three hills in the sea appeared in front of the boat. Within a moment, the boat reached the south bank of the "hill" in the middle. Xu Lai whistled, and soon the island After climbing onto the rock, a light of fire appeared. Several people held torches and went to the shore to respond. The people on the boat threw the cable to the shore, and the people on the shore caught it and tied it tightly to the rock.
After everyone landed, Jiang Shuo also wondered: "Brother Xu, how do you identify the direction on the sea? I think the boat has only traveled a few miles. How do you identify the direction on the vast sea and accurately land on the island?" "
Xu Lai pointed to the sky and said, "Based on this."
Dugu Xiang asked curiously: "Is the immortal guiding the way?"
Jiang Shuo understood it and said, "It turned out to be guided by the stars."
Xu Lai smiled and said: "Yes, during the Han and Jin Dynasties, there were "Five Stars in the Sea, Order and Reverse" and "Twenty-eight Stars in the Sea" to teach people to identify the direction at sea. I followed this method to orientate myself while observing stars in the sea. For example, Sanshan Island is just right Below the star of Merchant in the heart of the east, the star of Merchant is extremely bright in the eastern sky, so there is nothing wrong with the boat."
Dugu Xiang said: "Hey, are these twenty-eight constellations the same as the four-symbols and twenty-eight constellations in the Star Walk we learned? I have heard of the Heart Constellation, but what is the Shang Xing?"
Jiang Shuo said: "The Shang star is Antares, also known as the Big Mars. Xiang'er, you only practice according to the star chart in the Xixi Villa. You don't have a thorough understanding of the Bu Tian Ge formula, so you don't know."
Dugu Xiang pouted and said, "Antarse is just Antares, but why do you have so many troublesome names?"
Xu Lai smiled and said, "Young Master and Madam Dugu are also familiar with the study of astrology?"
Dugu Xiang said: "What's so difficult about this?" He pointed to the sky and said: "This is the heart constellation you mentioned. It consists of two palaces: "heart" and "accumulation". If the two palaces of the heart are the three palaces, then the two palaces of the heart are the three palaces." The second one in my heart. Then he thought about it and pointed out: "This is the house next to it, but there are more. There are eight palaces and twenty-one stars in total."
Xu Lai said: "Mrs. Dugu's knowledge and memorization are much better than mine. It took me several years to memorize these star maps when I was young."
Dugu Xiang puffed up her chest without any humility and said, "That's right, this heroine's memory is quite remarkable. She can be said to have a photographic memory." In fact, it took her three years to recite Buyiange. At this moment She was bragging but not ashamed. She turned to Xu Lai and asked: "Brother Xu, if you can recognize the star map, you can learn the method of disguise in the sea."
Xu Lai knew that she was close to Jiang Shuo and did not dare to hide anything. He said hurriedly: "That's natural. Memorizing star charts is the most difficult thing. Since Madam Dugu knows star charts, it will be easy to learn the method of stargazing and orienting in the sea." Now, when we are settled, I will teach you the formula."
Dugu Xiang was overjoyed and said, "Great, Brother Xu, we have made an agreement!" Although she couldn't bear to leave her grandpa, she still found it boring to live with him on the island for a few months. Now she heard that she could learn this The fun navigation skill of "stargazing and orienteering" suddenly aroused her interest, and she no longer worried about being bored on the island.
The Qin Yue people laughed and said, "Okay, Xiang'er has plenty of time to learn stargazing and navigation. Let's get your grandfather settled first and plan everything in the long term."
Xu Lai and Dugu Xiang said yes together, and Xu Lai led them to their residence on the island. The three mountains of Sanshan Island are named "Little Mountain, Ershan, and Dashan" from north to south. The place where everyone is at this moment is Ershan Island. , this island is the second tallest among the three islands, and is also in the middle in size. There is a narrow sandy hill in the sea connecting Ershan Island and Dashan Island. The second island and the sandy hill form a small fjord, which just connects the two islands. Ships are hidden in it.
Although Dashan Island is large, it has lush forests and no flat land. However, Ershan Island has a hill on the north side facing the land, and a mountain depression and flat land on the south side. What's more, there is a spring on this small island, which is full of water. A fresh water spring came out, and Caobang built several thatched houses here. With the shelter of the hills to the north, it would be impossible to find that there were still people living on this seemingly uninhabited island without boarding the island. .
Everyone couldn't help but marvel when they saw it, praising the God of creation of heaven and earth.
There are three large houses on the island, arranged in a finished Zigzag shape. Xu Lai asked the gang to sort out the middle and left rooms for Qin Yueren, Yun Gu and Shuoxiang and Dugu Wen to live respectively. However, he himself was crowded in the right wing with his brothers. Fortunately, Caobang operated the island as a safe haven. The three rooms were sturdy and spacious, and more than a dozen people from Caobang did not feel cramped even if they squeezed into one room.
Everyone rested early that night. Dugu Wen had been unable to rest for several days after vomiting at sea. Today he was able to sleep peacefully. From the next day, the Qinyue people began to teach Dugu Wen how to remove poison by his own luck. He asked Jiang Shuo While supporting himself with his inner strength, Jiang Shuo listened to what the Qin Yue people said about the healing method of luck, which was very different from the ordinary inner strength cultivation method.
Because ordinary practice involves gathering Qi, the blood circulation speed during practice is ten times or even dozens of times faster than that of ordinary people. If you suffer an ordinary internal injury, the rapid circulation of blood is beneficial to the recovery of the injury.
Yes, but if it is poisoned, the faster the blood circulates, the faster the poison will spread in the body.
Therefore, people who are poisoned not only cannot perform exercises to heal their injuries, but must avoid doing exercises. They can only rest peacefully and wait for the toxins in the body to be slowly discharged on their own. However, the method taught by the Qinyue people is to reverse the meridians to discharge the toxins. In this way, It can use internal force to accelerate the discharge of toxins. .
Dugu asked about the Qin Yue people's teachings, but he couldn't figure it out at first, as the internal energy often backfired, so Jiang Shuo needed to inject internal energy to block it for him, so as to prevent the poison from invading his heart. But after ten days, Dugu Wen mastered the method, and the times he needed help became less and less. Jiang Shuo was also able to carefully ponder the method of retrograde meridians on the side, but he felt that the Jade Technique he had learned was not the same as the method of spreading the energy into the body. The methods are quite complementary.
Although it is convenient to use Jade Jue to disperse physical energy into the limbs, in the end, internal energy should be dispersed rather than gathered. This method of bullying an opponent with lower internal energy than oneself is naturally tried and tested, but if you encounter an internal master like Li Guiren, But there was no advantage. This time he carefully understood the healing methods of the Qinyue people. Unexpectedly, the Qi in his body naturally reacted. The internal energy scattered among hundreds of bones could be gathered at one point without passing through the three Dantians. In half a month, Over time, his internal strength improved unknowingly.
Dugu Xiang followed Xu Lai every night to learn the method of stargazing and orientation. The method of stargazing requires extremely high memory. Duguxiang's memory is not a strong point, but she has already memorized star charts. Secondly, she is familiar with star charts. I was very interested in the method of stargazing, so I was willing to work hard to recite it. After studying it for more than half a month, I actually learned it almost inseparably.
