Chapter 264: Crouching Tiger Mountain (Second Watch)

"Stop the boat, dock!"

Following Chang Wei's order, the eagle boat exited the cliff portal and docked in a blind spot where the light could not reach. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The masters are already eager to try, Chang Wei and Tang Jinyi, Xie Zuofu, Song Youbi, the four best people with light skills are ready to go to explore the way, but they can't think of Huikong but they insist on following.

What can he do with such a task as pathfinding? Chang Wei naturally did not allow it, but his comprehension said that the keen hearing of the six senses of Huikong was particularly outstanding and very useful.

Thinking about the understanding on the ship, the seven sons of the Big Dipper are in charge, even the top master Xu Hongru has the strength to fight, but if he goes to explore the road by himself, he may encounter some danger and agree.

All five of them packed their self-defense bows and arrows, hidden weapons, muskets, and clothes in waterproof bags, and quietly went into the water.

The lake water in late autumn is cold and seeping cold, and after diving for more than ten zhang, the feeling of cold and bone-chilling permeates the whole body, but everyone is a master, and a little internal force will resist it.

In addition to Chang Wei and Tang Jinyi, the other three people are not very good at water, and they all rely on their internal strength to hold their breath for a long time, so that they can move forward by feeling the stones at the bottom of the lake, swim out slowly, and climb ashore at the edge of the island.

The island in front of the mountain peak is rugged, and the foot is full of sharp rocks like knives and axes, and it is impossible for large ships to get close, and it is difficult to walk. If you don't use your internal strength, I'm afraid that the soles of several people's feet will already be drenched in blood, but Huikong's footsteps are light and fast, which is impressive.

After passing through the tidal flat of one hundred and ten paces, and entering an unknown wood, the five of them changed into tight-fitting night clothes, walked straight north along the shade of the woods, and felt out of the forest, and several rivers of one or two zhang wide appeared in front of them, and the recess where the lights were located was on the opposite bank.

The valley runs north-south, and there is a waterway for boats to enter and exit, and he was about to walk along the path between the dense forest and thorns, but Huikong grabbed Chang Wei and pointed to his feet and walked around.

After carefully squatting on the ground and looking at it a few times, he found that there was a rattan in the grass at the bottom of his feet, and his eyes followed the rattan to find the end, Chang Wei was shocked. It turned out that the rattan was connected to a row of thorn-like wooden thorns, although with Chang Wei's skill, the flying thorns could not hurt him, but if there was no warning from Huikong, there would definitely be a lot of noise.

glanced at Huikong gratefully, and gave him a thumbs up, Huikong smiled silently, "Learn to laugh? ā€

Since Huikong was so astute, he simply let him lead the way in front, and on the short Baizhang path, Huikong found thirteen traps, traps, **** and other mechanisms.

"Fortunately, with him, otherwise he would never have been able to approach quietly, the wolf child really has the talent to survive in the wild. This dangerous road also strengthened Chang Wei's confidence that this was a den of thieves.

Out of the path, the lights were already clearly discerning, and when they followed Huikong into a hundred steps, they saw six houses on the east and west sides of the valley, guiding them to the air dead wind lanterns hanging on the small buildings on the high places, and when they raised their eyes, they saw the white lotus paste on the lanterns.

"Sure enough, it's the lair of the White Lotus Thief!"

After tracking for hundreds of miles and cruising in Weishan Lake for many days, everyone was thrilled to finally find the thief's nest with wisdom, courage and good luck.

Looking at the mansion for a while, Chang Wei frowned silently, one of the six mansions accommodated a hundred people, and there were also five or six hundred enemies. And at the end of the valley, how many enemies are there on the mountain peaks? Are there any masters in it? What are the long-range weapons? If you don't know this, you can't do it rashly.

Xie Zuofu said quietly: "My lord, this house is arranged according to the Liuhe Formation!"

Seeing Chang Wei's dazed face, Song Youbi explained: "Liuhe is a formation created by Taoists according to the Five Elements Bagua. Used in martial arts, the law of advance and retreat is strict, and the six people echo each other, attacking in turn, and the power is extraordinary. It is used in the building of Qian, Kun, life, death, water, fire and other six gates, which can be attacked and defended, which cannot be underestimated. ā€

"Look, my lord!"

Song Youbi pointed to the first mansion in the east and said: "That's Qianmen, the terrain is the highest, there should be arrow towers and sentry posts in the dark, monitoring the road on our side." ā€

He also pointed to the opposite road to the west: "That is the Kun Gate, the thickest place to defend, there should be stones, rolling logs, and even stone gates." ā€

Song Youbi pointed out one by one, "The second one in the east is the fire gate, where the forest is surrounded by thorns, and the ground is likely to be buried with gunpowder. ā€

"The second one to the west is the Water Gate, and there should be swamps, poisonous water, poisonous snakes, and so on in the nearby terrain. Therefore, the third must be the Death Gate, which is full of deadly traps inside and out. At the last moment, the sluice gate can be opened to divert water through the water gate, becoming a real dead place. ā€

"The third one in the east, near the foot of the mountain, must be the Shengmen, which can enter the depths of the valley and the peaks of the mountain for your own people to enter and exit, and there are the most guarded there!"

Combined with Song Youbi's explanation, combined with the winding distribution of the mansion, Chang Wei quickly understood the enemy's arrangement, "Fortunately, you are here, if I come by myself, I will definitely suffer a big loss." ā€

"Adults don't have to be modest, Taoism has the widest range of knowledge, and these are the things we learn from childhood. ā€

Tang Jinyi suddenly said: "Did you find it? I didn't see the dock here!"

This sentence immediately attracted Chang Wei's attention, with the scale of the White Lotus Sect, the family members of the core backbone are at least tens of thousands of people, and the absence of a dock means that the entrance and exit are not here, otherwise how can those people come in? There is no food on this island, where did their supply ships come from?

Therefore, the first thing to look for is the dock of the thieves, as long as you find the dock fleet, you can drive in, and at that time you can clean them up as you want.

After thoroughly studying the terrain here, a few people quietly left, as for the house arranged in the Liuhe formation, Chang Wei did not touch it, this kind of defensive strength, one or two small tiger squat cannons are uneven, only the bow gun or dozens of hundreds of tiger squat cannon salvo work.

The five of them walked around the woods behind the Shengmen, and Huikong led the way to avoid many traps along the way and climbed the east slope, looking down from a high place, Chang Wei found that Huikong's feeling was really right, this island, the mountain range is really a Crouching Tiger Mountain.

The high and uplifted mountain peak is the tiger's buttocks, and the Liuhe formation is the tiger's tail, which is equivalent to an escape route, and it is no wonder that traps are arranged everywhere, anyway, they are usually not needed, and the thieves don't need to be afraid of inconvenience.

The two gentle slopes of the east and west are the hind legs of the tiger, turning over the hillside, there is a long and narrow valley sandwiched between the two north-south Hehug mountain ranges, the five people carefully walk in the woods of the east mountain range, the valley is full of houses in the five or six miles long, the entrances and exits of the north and south ends of the valley are built with stone fort gates, and the defense is very tight.

Looking at the facilities that are all available, it is roughly estimated that there are at least 6,000 people living in it, and it is now in the middle of the night, if it is daytime, it is probably no less lively than a small county town. Xu Hongru, a careerist, has really been thinking about it for many years, otherwise he would not be able to operate such a solid territory.

At the highest point of the mountain range, there are arrow towers and outposts, and they are carefully bypassed. Looking back, these two mountains are as steep as the back of a knife, aren't they the body of a tiger?

Those who can live here must be the family members of the White Lotus Sect, and it is best to clean up this kind of person by carrying a few artillery mounts on the mountain and directly bombing the valley to the ground. However, now Chang Wei can only think in his heart, all the way to the north, the mountain range is getting narrower and narrower.

After walking through Erlidi, a dark and murderous mountain cliff portal appeared at the end of the line of sight, "There is really a black outlet!" (To be continued.) )
