After leaving the pier.

The bird ship drifted on the vast sea for two days, and Wang Liangyu unexpectedly learned that neither the captain nor Xiao Longnu and his party knew the pirate stronghold. This time the attack on the pirates was entirely based on luck, and it depended on whether they could encounter...

After learning about this situation, Wang Liangyu couldn't help but ask, in a bad tone: "So, you came out to fight against pirates without even having a specific goal?"

The accompanying shipbuilder's surname was Ma Yuan, and according to him, he was a descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo of the Han Dynasty.

Hearing Wang Liangyu's words at this moment, Ma Yuan couldn't help but tremble all over, and carefully explained: "Leader, those pirates come and go like the wind, they are really difficult to track."

"They can't stay at sea all the time. There are always places for them to stay on nearby islands, right?" Wang Liangyu scratched his brows and asked speechlessly.

Ma Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "We have cleared the islands in the South China Sea more than once, but after the eradication, they will soon come back to re-establish their strongholds, which is completely useless."

"Can't we occupy the island?" Wang Liangyu was stunned and even more surprised.

"Most of those islands have barren land and no grass can grow on them. It is useless to occupy them." Ma Yuan shook his head and replied.

Wang Liangyu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said: "So, now we can only go over one island at a time?"

Ma Yuan nodded, looking embarrassed.

So, another half month passed.

During this period, they were lucky enough to encounter a group of pirates who were robbing a merchant ship. They were wiped out by a group of Wu Erdai. Xiao Longnu and others were so excited that they wanted to extract the pirate stronghold from these pirates.

Unfortunately, after some interrogation, it was discovered that these pirates were actually poor people on the coast. They went out and returned at night, pretending to be fishing boats or merchant ships. When encountering merchant ships, the cargo ships would turn into pirates and rob them.

Listening to the confessions of the pirates, Ma Yuan looked at Wang Liangyu cautiously with a livid face, and explained: "Alliance leader..."

"No need to say more, I understand!" Wang Liangyu waved his hand and stopped Ma Yuan from talking. Wu State has been developing rapidly for more than 20 years, but it will definitely not be possible for everyone to be rich. It is normal for there to be poor people.

After saying that, Wang Liangyu sighed again, looked at the thin pirates, and said to Ma Yuan: "Arrange some people to escort them back and hand them over to the government." After a pause, he added, "Take a lenient sentence.

Disappointed!"

Hearing this, Ma Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and sent some crew members to escort the captured pirates back.

Wang Liangyu and his party continued to wander on the sea.

In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.

On the blue sea waves, the bird boat rides on the wind and moves forward rapidly.

"Leader, that's Crescent Island, so named because it looks like a crescent moon!" Ma Yuan stood on the bow of the ship, pointing to a black line in front, and said, "This island is located at the strategic point of the shipping route and is the only developed island nearby. We

You can replenish supplies here.”

Wang Liangyu nodded, full of urgency.

After wandering on the sea for more than half a month, both Wang Liangyu, Xiao Longnu and other second-generation martial artists couldn't stand it anymore.

As soon as the ship docked, Wang Liangyu and his party couldn't wait to fly out of the deck. The people on the dock were stunned and thought they were pirates, almost causing a commotion.

After a day's rest, with sufficient supplies, the bird boat sailed out of the dock again and continued to search the island.

On this day, the bird boat approached a desert island again.

The desert island is quite large. There is a towering stone mountain on the island. The vegetation on the mountain is sparse and the white mountain is exposed. It looks very desolate at first glance.

"This deserted island has no name. The island's rocky and mountain topography is complex. It was once one of the strongholds of pirates." Ma Yuan introduced, and the bird boat sailed to the leeward south of the island to dock.

There is a large beach in the south of the island, and under the rock cliff at the east end is an excellent bay.

Wang Liangyu and his party jumped ashore one after another, searching for traces of pirates as usual, and unexpectedly found traces of some people's activities on the beach.

"There shouldn't be anyone else coming here, right?" Yang Guo looked overjoyed, turned to look at Ma Yuan, and asked anxiously.

Ma Yuan carefully observed the traces on the beach, nodded and said: "This desert island is far away from the shipping lanes. Ordinary merchant ships will not come here at all. Only pirates will come here!"

"Doesn't that mean we have discovered a pirate stronghold!" Guo Fu was equally excited, and even drew out her long sword and started making gestures.

Guo Xiang pouted and looked around, pouring cold water on it: "Maybe it's not a stronghold, but just a temporary resting place!"

When Guo Fu heard this, she was very angry and reached out to pinch Guo Xiang's face.

Guo Xiang made a face, turned around and hid behind Wang Liangyu.

"Stop making trouble, go search the island and you will find out!" Wang Liangyu stopped Guo Fu, then stared at the eager people and warned sternly, "The situation here is unknown, everyone should be careful and do not act without authorization."

Afterwards, a group of people went to the island to search.

After a while, we came to the stone mountain and turned into the mountain. We were surrounded by bare rocks and sparse vegetation. The rocks were rugged and there was no road at all.

Fortunately, this is not difficult for a group of masters with deep skills.

A group of people walked on the rocks, crossed the peak, and headed straight into the mountain.

I don’t know how long I walked before I heard the sound of water in the distance.

As we all know, water is the source of all things. If pirates want to live here, their base must be near the water.

Thinking of this, everyone rushed over and turned around a mountain rock, and a mountain stream came into view.

The mountain stream is deep, the water is fast, and the rocks are stirring loudly.

As we walked along the mountain stream and got higher and higher, after turning two turns, we saw a waterfall hanging straight down from a height of more than ten feet. It seemed that this waterfall was the source of the mountain stream.

"After searching for so long, there is no trace at all. Could it be that Sister Guo Xiang really got it right?" Duan Xiangxing was dressed as a scholar, holding a paper fan in his hand, shaking it pretendingly, and looking at Guo Xiang and said

.

Everyone felt that what he said was reasonable, and they couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

The impatient Ouyang Sheng kicked it angrily, and a stone the size of a fist shot out quickly, heading straight for the waterfall.

Ouyang Xue saw that her brother was angry and couldn't help but comfort him.

But at this moment, Xiao Longnu suddenly turned her head to look at the waterfall and said urgently: "There is something wrong with this waterfall!"

"What's wrong?" Everyone was startled when they heard this and looked at Xiao Longnu in surprise.

Xiao Longnu pointed at Ouyang Sheng and said, "Ouyang Sheng kicked a stone just now, but there was no sound of the stone hitting!"

"Could it be obscured by the sound of the waterfall?" Cheng Ying looked at the waterfall and guessed.

"We'll find out if we go over there and see!" Yu Daofan, being a bold and straightforward man, said this and jumped over.

In an instant, Yu Daofan's shout of surprise was heard.

"Behind this waterfall, there is a hole!"

After everyone heard this, they jumped in one after another regardless of their clothes getting wet.

There is indeed a cave behind the waterfall, and in the dim light of the sky, a long corridor can be vaguely seen.

"Be a torch and bring it in!" Xiao Longnu stopped the people who wanted to break in and said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two brothers Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen spontaneously ran out of the waterfall. After a while, they each jumped in again carrying a thick wooden stick wrapped in a cloth strip.

Yu Daofan took out the flint and lit the torch.

Under the firelight, the corridor was clearly visible.

Xiao Longnu walked in front, and Wang Liangyu walked behind with the two little ones, walking all the way along the corridor.

The corridor is built according to the natural cave in the heart of the mountain. The artificially dug place is very narrow, but sometimes it suddenly opens up. I feel that it is getting lower and lower, and the sound of running water appears in the cave.

.

After walking for a while, the corridor suddenly branched into two roads.

Xiao Longnu looked around, marked the fork on the left, and walked straight in.

Everyone remained silent and followed Xiao Longnu.

After that, they encountered many forks in the road one after another, and there were several large and small caves in between. The little dragon girl chose based on her feeling and walked all the way.

After walking for about half an hour, a stone door stood in front of us. On the door were engraved three ancient inscriptions, "Xia Ke Xing".

Xiao Longnu and the others were all shocked when they saw it, but Wang Liangyu's face suddenly changed at the end, and she couldn't help shouting: "The knight is coming?!"

"Master, do you know this place?" Seeing Wang Liangyu's expression, Xiao Longnu couldn't help but ask.

When other people saw this, they all looked over.

Wang Liangyu gathered his thoughts, looked at the three words "Xia Ke Xing" on the door, and said slowly: "If my prediction is correct, there must be twenty-four stone chambers in this door, and each stone chamber is engraved with the words "Xia Ke Xing" by Li Taibai.

In one sentence, it contains wonderful magical power."

After saying that, Wang Liangyu couldn't wait to push open the stone door and broke in first.

After hearing this, Xiao Longnu and others were even more surprised and chased after him one after another.

When we walked in, we found that there were indeed twenty-four stone chambers in the cave. Twenty-four lines of Li Taibai's "Xia Ke Xing" were carved on the stone walls of the twenty-four stone chambers. There were different pictures and pictures beside each line of the poem.

Some text notes.

Just taking a look at it, everyone couldn't help but be dazzled and immersed in it.

When Wang Liangyu saw this, he scolded lightly, and the sound waves surged in the cave, shocking everyone awake.

"This illustration of the ancient poem "Xia Ke Xing" contains the most profound and profound martial arts secrets from ancient times to the present!" Wang Liangyu looked at the people who had come back to their senses, his eyes passed over Zhang Junbao, and then said, "If you want to understand, you can only Just read the ancient poem and the illustrations on the side, and don't pay attention to other textual annotations, they are all wrong."

In just a short while, Wang Liangyu had already discovered that several of the people had made slight breakthroughs in their skills, especially Zhang Junbao, whose true energy was so agitated that it was almost difficult to control himself.
