This black portal, left and right are towering enemy towers, arrow towers, in the middle is a heavy stone gate block, outside the stone gate is facing the steep cliff stone road is a stone fort, the stone fort and the stone gate are connected into an urn city structure.

With the condescending terrain and the solid stone castle and stone gate, it can be said that it is a man who cannot be opened, like the black tuyere of Liangshan in the Water Margin.

Beyond the black wind outlet that acts as the tiger's neck, there are two slopes that make up the tiger's front legs, and here the terrain gradually undulates and becomes open, and the big mountain bag like the tiger's head in front of it extends to the lake.

"Sure enough, there is a dock!"

The tail of the whole Crouching Tiger Mountain falls into the lake in the south, and the head also stretches into the lake in the north, forming a trend of Crouching Tiger drinking water. And on the tiger's mouth is a wharf of considerable size, where hundreds of large and small ships are all docked.

"Good fellow has a three-story ship, bigger than our flagship. ”

"There are whirlpool reefs around here, how did such a big ship get in?"

"There must be a secret waterway, aren't we also sent in by the chaotic wind? ”

Just as Zuo Fu and Right Bi were discussing, Tang Jinyi pointed to both sides of the dock and said, "Golden Beach!"

Following his fingers, there were two yellow-orange sandy beaches hidden in the reeds on both sides of the tiger's head.

"This stronghold is really a bit of a water Bo Liangshan, but it's a pity that the White Lotus Sect is a thief and not a hero!"

The five of them went around the distance from the outer part of the hillside to the reeds below, and looked up again, there was a solid stockade in the tiger-like valley, and there were two water villages of two or three hundred people hidden in the criss-crossing harbors near the lake, and the three stockades constituted a solid defense against the lake.

This place has mountains and rivers, and the terrain is dangerous, which is much more difficult to fight than the thirteen chain villages. After looking back and forth a few times, and keeping all the defenses in mind, everyone began to worry about the smooth surface of the lake.

Outside Crouching Tiger Mountain are interlaced with dogs' teeth, overlapping islands and sword-like small peaks, all around are circular waterways, even the alternating hot and cold air flows around Crouching Tiger Mountain, if you want to find the waterway to the outside, you must use dozens of hundreds of boats to find each river alley one by one, but the enemy's defense is so tight, as soon as you reach the lake, you will be discovered, to find the access to the waterway to bring in the fleet is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

The only feasible way is to go out with the thieves' ships, but who knows when they will go out? If they have to wait for ten days and half a month, when their dry rations are finished, let alone war, they will starve to death here.

The rustle of the night wind against the reeds sounded softly like a bell, but Chang Wei didn't bother to listen, his eyes always fell on the atolls in the distance, as if he wanted to see through the secrets hidden under the dark sky.

Suddenly, Huikong's inconvenient voice came to his ears, "Bells, chains, tethered tigers." ”

Chang Wei shook his head and said secretly: "What a child, there are still fantasies at this time." ”

Seeing that Chang Wei didn't pay attention to his words, Huikong hurriedly pointed to the golden sand beach and a hidden island and reef, and repeated: "Bells, chains, and tigers." ”

In order to comfort him, Chang Wei looked in the direction he pointed, the golden sand beach in the reeds was connected in an arc, like a collar on a dog's neck, and the two water villages were bells on the collar, and the straight reef in front of the golden sand beach was really like an iron chain.

Combined with the whole mountain, it really looks like Crouching Tiger Mountain is tied to the golden sand beach and this island and reef.

Chang Wei was taken aback, "Huikong not only has outstanding eyesight, but also has such a rich imagination? This kind of meticulous observation and rich imagination are possessed by people with great romantic feelings such as painters and poets." Does Huikong's simple mind have such imagination?"

Chang Wei's puzzled expression made Huikong a little anxious, and he grabbed Chang Wei's hand, pointed to the water below the reef, and said, "In the water, the iron chain is in the water." ”

Chang Wei looked over carefully, and the surface of the lake was blocked by the group of islands and reefs, and there were fine ripples like chains, and the chain ripples extended into the annular islands and reefs at one end, and came to the water village in front of the golden sand beach, and the rustle of reeds sounded again.

Chang Wei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and scolded excitedly in his heart: "Damn, this is not the sound of reeds, it is the sound of real bells, and the ripples are also real chains!

gratefully gave Huikong a thumbs up and said softly, "Take off your clothes in brocade, let's go into the water and have a look." ”

Liuhuikong, three people with bad water nature, looked at the wind in the reeds, the two climbed the stones at the bottom of the lake, swam briskly to the vicinity of the chain, and advanced a hundred and ten zhang, and a group of underwater reefs appeared twenty steps away from the chain.

Chang Wei was about to cross over, but he saw a thigh-thick black line under the water, and slowly looked closer, it turned out to be an iron chain.

Chang Weixi almost couldn't hold his breath. Everything is clear, these two parallel chains, twenty paces apart, are the passage through which the thieves' ships enter and exit!

Gesturing, Chang Wei swam to the north chain, and the two of them advanced at the same time. But he didn't dare to touch the iron chain for fear of ringing the bell and being discovered by the enemy in the water village, and after swimming out of the hundreds, the iron chain came to an end, and when he looked closely, it was nailed to the reef at the bottom of the lake.

After turning around the reef underwater, he found a new chain, and when he swam forward, he saw Tang Jinyi not far away in the same direction as himself.

After following the chain into the crater, the waterway became twisted and turned, and the chain has been arranged into a twenty-step wide waterway according to the trend of the island and reef.

After turning the sixteen overlapping islands and reefs, Chang Wei was already lost in the waterway, and he didn't know the southeast and northwest, but fortunately, there was always an iron chain in the water to guide the way, so he didn't have to worry too much.

After passing the last section of the pitch-black atoll reef, several huge tearing forces suddenly came from the surface of the water and underwater, and Chang Wei felt that his body was about to be twisted into twists and torn to pieces.

"Vortex!"

For the first time in his life, his instinct was faster than the speed of his brain's thinking, and he slammed down the tangent of the whirlpool to the thick iron chain a foot away, grabbed it with his left hand and exerted force, and the whole person hung on the chain like an octopus.

After taking a few breaths, he came out of the water and looked at the opposite side, only to find that Tang Jinyi was also embarrassed.

As far as the eye can see, the calm lake has turned into a turbulent torrent, and the huge water force keeps tearing their bodies towards the center of the dangerous whirlpool, but fortunately, the two of them have deep internal strength and solid iron chains to rely on, so they will not be swept away by the whirlpool.

Lift your spirits and use your internal strength, pull the thigh-thick chain, and move forward cautiously. Gradually, Chang Wei discovered that the iron chains were all parallel to the current, forming a complex and tortuous waterway along the tangent direction of the whirlpool.

"This iron cable waterway is in the place where the whirlpool is at its least, and the thieves are deep and watery. ”

After swimming through the whirlpool area that spread for hundreds of feet, the water surface was calm again, and when I looked back, the atolls were far behind.

"Come out, this is indeed the entrance and exit of the waterway!" (To be continued.) )
