Cheng Shiyu said in a trembling voice: "It's not too bad, it's a southeast wind blowing now, which will make us go all the way north away from Weishan Lake." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chang Wei said lightly: "That's okay, as long as you get to the deep water area, you can come back at any time." ”

Cheng Shiyu smiled bitterly, "But this wind will get stronger and stronger, maybe we will be blown to the northernmost Nanyang Lake at dawn." ”

The 240-mile Weishan Lake is actually composed of the four lakes of Weishan, Zhaoyang, Dushan and Nanyang, and the main body of the Huai Sishui system, and there are still many small lakes near the four lakes, which constitute a dense river and alley and become a narrow water area in the northwest-southeast direction.

Chang Wei frowned and said, "It's so windy, then lower the sails and let the boat run slower." ”

The sailors immediately did as they were told, but to everyone's astonishment, not long after the sails were lowered, a rattling southeast wind blew, and the ship sped up even faster than before.

Chang Wei put his eyes into the mist and said, "It's really strange, how can such a big southeast wind blow in this season? At this speed, where can it be at dawn?"

Cheng Shiyu shook his head again and again, and said: "Adults don't know, the area around Weishan Lake is low-lying, and cold and hot winds converge with each other, often forming chaotic winds. Now it's a southeast wind, maybe it will become a northwest wind in a while, and we'll drift with the wind, and it may be around here at dawn, or it may be to the south or north shore. ”

Chang Wei gasped and said, "Then I hope we have better luck and be sent to Weishan Island by this chaotic wind." ”

Arrange for people to take turns to guard the course, and let the others go to sleep. Anyway, now that the sails have been lowered, as long as the ship does not hit the reef, there is no need to keep vigil.

The wind became stronger and stronger, and gradually there was a whimper, and then, the fog was mixed with a light rain, and looking out, the boat was as fast as if it was about to fly, but fortunately it was not the sea that the waves were very stable, and there was not much turbulence on the boat.

After sleeping in the middle of the night, there was a wolf howl outside.

"How can there be a wolf? Could it be that Weishan Island is backing the mountain?" Chang Wei's heart tightened, grabbed the Wind Splitting Blade and the short musket and ran out.

When I got on the deck, I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, it turned out that Huikong was looking up at the starry night sky with his shiny head and howling at the starry night sky.

Suddenly, Chang Wei shouted in surprise: "Hey, the rain and fog have dispersed, and the wind has stopped!" Cheng Shiyu on the boat gang said blankly: "Damn, where did this go?"

The autumn breeze is refreshing, the sky is full of stars, the sparkling waves reflected by the starlight, and the eagle boat floats comfortably like a canvas drifting with the waves on the mirror-like lake.

Looking around, a black atoll-shaped reef rises on the surface of the lake, and there are more than a dozen large and small ones, as if you have entered a new world.

Chang Wei guessed: "It's not like Weishan Island, isn't it Zhaoyang Island?"

"No, it's about out of Zhaoyang Lake. ”

Cheng Shiyu took the long bamboo artemisia to test back and forth, the lake water actually submerged all the bamboo artemisia, his face changed several times, and after a long time, he said: "My lord, the water depth here is more than three zhang, it should be the backwater bay connected to Dushan Lake and Zhaoyang Lake." ”

The water depth of more than three zhang is quite rare in the waters of Weishan Lake, and this kind of atoll reef is very conspicuous no matter where it is, it is strange that Lao Hu and Cheng Shi Yuti have not mentioned it, why is this?

Cheng Shiyu saw Chang Wei's doubts, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, in this part of the backwater bay, there are many underwater reefs with whirlpools all year round, and the legend is that it is the territory of the lake god, no one has ever dared to come in, I didn't expect that we were actually sent in by the chaotic wind." ”

"Huh?" Chang Wei exclaimed, "Then won't we be able to get out?"

"No!" Cheng Shiyu pointed to some places on the reef and said, "As long as there are enough boatmen on it, the boat can still be pulled out." ”

"How far is it from Zhaoyang Island?"

"It's about sixty miles. ”

The gust of wind was really fast, and in an hour or two it sent the ships a hundred miles away, and I don't know where the fleet is now? If the fleet is nearby, going to the islands and reefs and firing guns should lure them over and pull them out.

After thinking about it, Chang Weijue still explored this backwater bay first, so he couldn't wait here. Under the command of Cheng Shiyu, the sailors held the bamboo artemisia and carefully propped it forward, and the speed of the boat could almost be described as moving.

After more than half an hour, Cheng Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that the dangerous places in the backwater bay are outside, but when you get to the island and reef, the wind is calm, and there is no danger." ”

Rounding several winding islands, Chang Wei looked at the entire circular island and said casually: "It's like a long snake." ”

Huikong pointed to a few islands and said, "Legs, tiger!"

Chang Wei looked at it carefully and chuckled: "Four-legged? Well, it does look like a tiger." ”

Huikong pointed happily like a child who has been approved by adults: "Head, back, stomach, paws, tail." ”

The Ten Arhats said in surprise: "Senior Brother Huikong is getting closer to the adult, and he is getting more and more lively. ”

Enlightenment silently recited a Buddha name, and said: "This is fate, maybe let Huikong follow Chang Da, so that he can really grow up." ”

Follow me? Chang Wei likes Huikong very much, and he also wants to keep him by his side, but what is the Shaolin Temple's plan? Let's see what happens in the future.

After a few more uninhabited islands, Tang Jinyi looked at the nearby reeds and said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is no golden sand beach and black wind outlet, otherwise it would really be like Shuibo Liangshan." ”

Chang Wei quipped: "Do you really like the Water Margin? It's simple, return to Fodu Island another day, let's get a hundred and zero heroes and build a righteous hall." How far is the sea more than 800 miles? It is much larger than the water and Liangshan. ”

Tang Jinyi smiled, and then, the smile on his face froze, because Chang Wei suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the nearby islands, as if he had discovered some big secret.

Tang Jinyi and Chang Wei had a tacit understanding, and immediately asked, "Do you think this is Liangshan?"

Chang Wei suppressed his voice with surprise, "I don't know if it's Liangshan or not, but this is definitely the White Lotus Thief's lair!"

"How do you know?"

Chang Wei asked the sailors to extinguish the lights and slow down their movements, and said softly: "Do you remember what I said about Daoliang Mountain? That mountain looks like a big tiger!"

The black-lit eagle boat swept across several islands like a ghost, and the darkness grew in front of it, and the peaks of the two large islands rose flat like a sword, but a few fires in the recess ignited everyone's emotions in an instant.

"There's a light, there's someone there?"

"Did you really find it? Is it the White Lotus Thief?"

"Is it really the White Lotus Thief's lair?"

The masters whispered excitedly.

"Hope it's true!"

There was a strong fighting spirit in everyone's voices, and after tossing for so long, there was finally hope to touch the shadow of the enemy.

Without commanding the sailors, they consciously slowed down their movements and sailed in the direction of the recess lights, all with excitement and hideous colors on their faces.

The eagle boat chased the flickering lights, gently turned a few zigzag inlets, and rowed through a portal-shaped cliff, and suddenly a chessboard-shaped island appeared in everyone's sight, which looked quite similar to the Laozi Mountain Waterway in Honghu.

"Looks like the thieves' lair is pretty much the same. ”

This discovery has led to a growing belief that the goal is in sight.

As soon as he got closer, Chang Wei relied on his keen six senses to find that the lamp was an angry wind lamp!

"Stop the boat, dock!" (To be continued.) )
