Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi walked along the tail fin of the "big whale", not walking very fast, because this natural stone path was only a few feet wide, and there were snakes blocking the path from time to time. They had to wait until they crawled away. Just now I can get by.
After walking for another half an hour, the two finally climbed onto the back of the "big whale". Climbing and walking among the rocks was very easy for Sima Rulan, who was highly skilled in light skills, but Hua Bushi who was following her was not. My legs and feet were already weak and I was out of breath.
Sima Rulan stopped and said, "Let's rest here for a while. Not far ahead is the third natural chasm!"
Hua Bushi sat on a stone nearby, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and gasped: "Miss Lan'er can tell me now what the third chasm is."
Sima Rulan also sat down next to the young master and said: "The first two natural chasms must be prepared to survive, but the third chasm is not necessary. It only tests one's courage. Mr. Hua If you are brave enough, you don’t have to worry." b President deeply loves bb http:mnxub
Hua Bushi said: "You are so generous! I have always been the most timid. Miss Lan'er refused to tell me, just to scare Hua Bushi to death."
Sima Rulan chuckled and said: "Well, since we are good friends, Lan'er will tell you first. The third chasm is a stone bridge on the cliff. As long as you are not afraid of heights and are careful, you can walk it. Gotta get through."
Hua Bushi said: "So that's it. If you just walk across the stone bridge, it's not bad."
The two rested for a while, and when Hua Bushi's leg strength recovered, they continued to move forward. After walking on the mountain road for about another tea time, they came to the location of the third natural chasm mentioned by Sima Rulan.
If the first two natural chasms are somewhat unrealistic in name, this third natural chasm is a real ravine.
The large ravine in front of us is fifty or sixty feet wide and no less than a hundred feet deep. It is a huge crack on the back of the "big whale", and under the ravine is the rough sea. What is even more amazing is that in such a There is a stone bridge about a foot wide flying in the air between a ravine, which can lead directly to the other side.
The two came to the ravine. Sima Rulan did not hesitate and stepped onto the stone bridge. Hua Bushi also followed carefully and followed step by step. This natural stone bridge was so narrow that it was easy to walk on it. It's like walking in mid-air, but as Sima Rulan said before, although the huge chasms and stone paths look dangerous, it is not difficult to walk over them as long as you are brave enough and are not afraid of heights.
Soon the two of them had walked more than twenty feet and arrived at the center of the ravine. Hua Bushi suddenly said: "The three natural ravines on Tunwhale Island, the rocks outside the island and the vipers on the island are all the same." It is a difficult place to pass, but passing this third ravine seems to be too easy. Does Miss Laner feel this way?"
Sima Rulan said: "Dad also said this back then, but later he said that this third chasm is actually the most dangerous one."
Hua Bushi pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized something in his heart, and said: "I understand what Uncle Sima meant! If there is no one guarding it, it is not difficult to pass this stone bridge, but if it is laid on the opposite stone cliff, Without some archers, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, they will never be able to get by."
Sima Rulan said: "Mr. Hua is really smart. My father told me the same thing at the beginning. He said that the two natural chasms in front can be easily passed as long as you are prepared. This was to deal with the accidental discovery of this place at sea. The people of the island, but this natural chasm is a desperate place, used to defend enemies who intend to attack. No matter how high the Qinggong is, it is impossible to fly across this distance of tens of feet. To get across, you can only walk on the stone bridge. Back then Pirate King Tuoba Qingtian will definitely set up manned defenses on the opposite side. Even if there are thousands of troops, they will not be able to rush through. Moreover, once you step onto this narrow bridge, it will be too late to go back."
Hua Bushi nodded and said: "The natural chasm here is indeed the most dangerous one. Fortunately, there is no ambush on the other side, otherwise we would have no choice but to catch him..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard someone laughing loudly on the stone cliff opposite and saying: "Who said there is no ambush here? You kid understands, so just go ahead and capture him now."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan changed.
But on the cliff opposite the stone bridge, I saw twenty or thirty people emerging from various piles of rocks. Most of them were holding bows and arrows in their hands, and all of them carried swords on their backs. They looked fierce, and they looked like they were dressed like " The pirates of the Black Dragon Palace.
Among them, there were only three people who did not hold bows and arrows.
The person who just spoke was an old man in his fifties or sixties. He was wearing a fluffy gray cloth. His thin face was covered with wrinkles. There were a few strands of gray goatee on his chin. There was a black stubble on the belt in front of his abdomen. Hua Bushi was lucky enough to know that this person was Liang Wude who once pretended to be an old Taoist priest and appeared in the Forest of Steles at Qixing Temple in Nan'ao Town to snatch Panlong Jue.
The two people standing next to Liang Wude are dressed in the same attire. They are both in fiery red clothes, covered with red cloth, with brocade cloaks on their shoulders, and each holding a crescent-shaped ax in their hands, but they are "Nine Dragon Sons" Qian Badou and Qian Jiukong, the "Two Demons of the Qian Family" ranked last.
Liang Wude shouted: "Farewell to Nan'ao Town, Master Hua is always good! Last time you fooled me with a piece of fake jade, but today you brought the real jade." bThe president loves deeplybbhttp:mnxub
The pirates from the "Black Dragon Palace" would appear here. Not only was Hua Bushi unexpected, but Sima Rulan was also extremely shocked. The location of Swallowing Whale Island was originally a secret, and not many people knew about it. She really couldn't imagine how these pirates could After finding this island, they were able to pass through the two natural chasms in front of them without anyone noticing, and ambush themselves on the opposite side of the stone bridge.
Liang Wude obviously saw her shocked expression, and he laughed and said: "Miss Sima, do you want to know why we are ambushing here? Haha, I will call two friends to come out, and you will understand!"
He shouted towards a black rock next to him: "Hey, Hall Master Xiong, you two, father and son, please come out. Is there any harm in making any noise?"
Two figures walked out from behind the rock, and as soon as she saw these two people, Sima Rulan understood everything immediately, because they were Xiong Bailing and Xiong Tiannan, their father and son.
Although the treasure cave on Tunjing Island is the top secret of the "Wanjin Hall", Xiong Bailing has been the deputy hall leader for so many years and his status in the sect is second only to Sima Zhufeng. Of course he will know about it, and that day Xiong Bailing His plot failed and he was expelled from Okura City. He left the island by boat with Zhuang Ding from Xiongjiazhuang and three hundred Dazhen tribe. However, he never expected that he would be with "Jiulongzi" today.
Sima Rulan glared at Xiong Bailing and said: "Uncle Xiong, dad trusts you so much and doesn't hide anything from you, but you not only betrayed the 'Wan Jin Tang', but also defected to the 'Black Dragon Palace' and betrayed the secrets of our sect to Are these pirates worthy of my father?"
Facing Sima Rulan's accusation, Xiong Bailing remained silent, but Xiong Tiannan beside him was completely ashamed and said: "Sister Lan'er, our Xiong family has lived in Okura City for many years, how can we say we are leaving?" Just leave? The Black Dragon King promised my father that as long as Okura City is captured, he will rebuild the 'Wanjin Hall' and let my father be the head of the hall. When the time comes, sister Lan'er will marry me and she can also enjoy the glory and wealth. Isn't it great? ."
Sima Rulan bit her lip tightly, her beautiful eyes almost bursting with fire.
Hua Bushi said loudly: "Liang Wude, you led the crowd to ambush here, but do you want to come and snatch Panlong Jue? Now Yu Jue is on Miss Lan'er. If you dare to shoot, Yu Jue will accidentally fall under the ravine. It’s no wonder we can’t find it in the sea.”
After a brief period of shock, the young master calmed down.
The situation at this time was very bad for him and Sima Rulan. As mentioned before, once the third chasm was guarded, it would be much more dangerous than the previous two. The two of them stood in the middle of the overpass that was about a foot wide, and The cliffs on both sides are more than twenty feet apart, and they are pointed at by dozens of bows and arrows. The opponent's fingers can shoot them into hedgehogs without even having time to retreat.
If Sima Rulan encounters an obstacle on the ground, even with Sima Rulan's martial arts, even if he can defeat the opponent with several people joining forces, he will at least be able to fight. However, in such an unfavorable terrain, there is no room for a fight. , the only possibility is to threaten the opponent with Panlong Jue in order to gain a chance of survival.
Liang Wude said: "Master Hua, you made a wrong calculation this time. The Dragon King has an order. If you can capture the Panlong Jue and open the secret cave, it would be best to get the things in it. If you can't capture the Jade Jue, it will be destroyed." It's also a great achievement. If you want to die quickly, just throw Yujue off the cliff, I don't mind."
Hidden in the secret cave of Swallowing Whale Island is the detailed plan for making the "Dragon-Slaying Ship". If the Black Dragon King cannot get this picture, even if it is destroyed, it can still eliminate the threat to the giant shark ship. That day on Wanyi Island In addition, the giant shark ship bombarded the "Qing Chi" just to destroy Panlong Jue, which shows that what Liang Wude said is true.
Hua Bushi said: "In addition to the detailed plans of shipbuilding, there are also many gold and silver treasures in the treasure cave on Whale Island. Don't you want to?"
Liang Wude laughed a few times and said: "Hall Master Xiong has already said that the treasure in the secret cave has been taken out and spent by Sima Zhufeng long ago! You can deceive others with your words, but you can't deceive me. of."
This Liang Wude was obviously a very scheming old fox, and after Xiong Bailing surrendered to the "Black Dragon Palace", he must have told him all the secrets he knew. It was not easy for Hua Bushi to deceive him.
At this time, I heard Sima Rulan say: "You are right, there is indeed no treasure in the secret cave, but dad has stored the martial arts secret books of our 'Shaolin Sect' in it. If you kill us, there will be nothing." I can’t get it.”
Hearing this, Liang Wude narrowed his eyes. Sima Zhufeng was a leader among the direct disciples of the "Shaolin Sect" and was once a famous swordsman in Jiangnan. His martial arts secrets were not as good as Tuoba Qing's. Heaven's treasure, but also a very valuable thing,
