The strange rocks by the river are craggy, there are a lot of exposed river surfaces, a layer of turquoise moss grows, Ning Que and the three of them stepped on the raised rocks on the shore, the mud and sand on the soles of their feet are soft and thin, and the footsteps sink slightly and leave deep footprints, a few vacant moves, and finally through the fog, see the general outline of the misty island, there are mountains on the island, the mountains on both sides are steep, more than a zhang in the middle, and there are some footprints on the road.

Suddenly, an unusually far-reaching whistle sounded like a hollow valley, melodious and tactful, and the aftermath lasted for a long time. Ning Que fixed his eyes and saw a sentry post more than 100 meters ahead, looking at it from a high position, with an unobstructed view, completely exposed to the enemy's sight. It's no wonder that this foggy island has survived to this day, and there is such a dangerous situation made in heaven, plus the thick fog on the periphery, it is simply invincible, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even those high spirits were reluctant to step into such a precipitous terrain.

Before he had taken two steps, a thin middle-aged man came in a hurry, grumpy, "Which way? Are you impatient?

The old black and sallow-skinned man was obviously embarrassed, he was a little carried away just now, and forgot to tell Ning Que that it was too late at this time.

Ning Que didn't care, he made a taboo, and lit up a diamond-shaped token on his waist. The man's squinted single eyelid instantly swelled, and he took a few steps closer, his waist hooked down, as if he couldn't give up, and said half-loudly: "What's the matter with Childe?"

"I came down to the horse gang leader to discuss something important. ”

"Please, please, please. "The middle-aged man is nicknamed Thin Monkey, alert and shrewd, good at observing words and feelings, these people who come and go, in and out, need to go through this person's investigation, but also just in case.

The thin monkey whistled, like the cry of an eagle falcon, which was extremely sharp. The distance of more than 100 steps is there in the blink of an eye. The two robes are a little funny, covered with bulging pockets, and under closer inspection, the purple stones are extremely irregular, and they are not in a proper shape, but they can blink and pose in a correct posture, like a towering and immovable green pine. Then pull open the rusty fence on it, the thorny balls of different shades hang but do not fall, the two of them walk extremely fast, neatly aligned, the people above the sentry are full of energy, always pay attention to Ning Que and the others.

As soon as you enter the mountain pass, the whole world has undergone great changes, and rows of green trees that cover the sky and the sun, neatly and neatly, like an army, penetrate the clouds, absorb every trace of brilliance, and welcome the golden light to the island.

There was another sharp whistle, and there seemed to be a galloping hyena barking in the forest, and the heavy sound of haze gradually drifted away, and the shadows of the trees in the forest floated slightly, as quiet as a chilling cicada.

"Childe, please come here. The thin monkey only said a few words along the way, and said a little about the terrain of Misty Island.

Misty Island, is the base of the Soil Whale Gang's survival, with its natural advantages, it can be attacked, retreated and defended, and has layers of fog as a shield, even if those sailors attack, they will flee without a fight. This also led to the great momentum of the Earth Whale Gang, plus it has always been inconspicuous, either it doesn't make a move, and when it does, it is a big deal, and it has plundered the Ning family and the Xiong family many times

, the Zhao family, and other big forces of commercial goods, resulting in an incomparable headache.

However, strange to say, the Earth Whale Gang also knows the times, and commits very few crimes, even less than four or five times a year, and each time the merchants selected are different, try to pick some fresh people to start, and those who have robbed it once will only be the second time in a few years. This also caused many forces to hate itchy, but they were unwilling to get along with the water overlord on this clear weir for the sake of the benefits of the size of sesame mung beans.

The Earth Whale Gang knows how to advance and retreat, and it is appropriate to stop, compared to some other water thieves, thieves also have a way, and the water thieves are also mixed up, and no one wants to provoke. There used to be gangs who saw the territory and prestige of the Red Whale Gang, united many bandits and wanted to get along with them, but history has proved that the dignity of the Earth Whale Gang is not allowed to provoke, and it ended in the destruction of the gang.

However, now that Ning Que has obtained the token of Ning Shentong, he can be regarded as understanding, the biggest water thief in the Qingyan River is the Ning family, and in order to hide people's eyes, he chose such a feng shui treasure to train his troops.

Some people have also doubted that the Qingyan River is undoubtedly the Ning family, but the Earth Whale Gang can survive the encirclement and suppression of the Ning family again and again, which seems too mysterious and incredible. One of the eight great families, he can't even clean up a water thief. Now it seems that it is just the Ning family's old suspicions.

When Ning Que arrived at this island, he understood the Ning family's heritage as one of the eight great families, the island was full of high-rise buildings, each house was unique and magnificent, and a figure was shuttling through the forest and cultivating.

The thin monkey didn't talk much, and he obviously had some doubts about the person holding the gang leader token, but this matter still had to rot in his stomach. There are some things that you should not know, you cannot know.

"Brother Monkey, is someone here again? Or did you bring it yourself?" a man of medium stature with a large belly smiled from ear to ear.

"Go and go, while playing, you old boy, when did you reach the middle stage of spirit refining, and you came to talk to me, you are a lot older, and you haven't reached the middle stage yet, it's not a shame!" the thin monkey grinned and said with a smile.

After stepping on thousands of steps, halfway up the mountain, Liu Xianming was already tired and sweating profusely. Liu Qingmu wanted to carry him up on his back, but he resigned, perhaps out of the dignity of a man, gritting his teeth, putting his hands behind his thighs, and lifting his legs with his hands every time he took a step, and so on, he was already far behind Ning Que.

"Let's go! It's time to practice. Liu Qingmu frowned and endured the pain of love.

When Ning Que heard this, he didn't care too much, but still slowly climbed behind. Ascending the peak, the plaque depicts the "Earth Whale Gang", and as soon as I entered, I met an old acquaintance, Sun Buer, who was talking to someone who had passed the ancient age for a year in the hall, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

The thin monkey stepped forward and whispered a few times in Ma Sanduo's ear. Ma Sanduo waved his hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "Your guests are coming to the door, and you are disappointed in the distance, and you are looking at Haihan, please sit, please sit." ”

Ning Que strode forward, and said with a hearty smile: "The Ma Gang leader is serious, and a layman in the lower district can't afford such a big gift." ”

Ma Sanduo's face was cheerful, not like his previous sad face. Sun Buer was the opposite, with a different face, and Hu Yidao and Zhu Meng, who were standing in the back, were secretly constantly making eyes.

"Hehe, who is this?" Ma Sanduo stared at Liu Lao under the hall at a glance.

Ning Que said: "A distant grandfather in the next place, this time, plans to stay for a long time. ”

Ma Sanduo looked at Ning Que's waist card from time to time.

"Mr. Sun, I don't know how it's going to be lately?" Ning Que greeted.

Sun Buer's face was cold, for him who didn't like vanity and wrongdoing, being able to sit there was already giving face to the Ma gang leader, if he changed places, he would definitely punish Ning Que and give him some eye drops.

"It's really powerful, it's not good to be on an errand in the yamen, and when you have leisure, it's really a place not to meet in life!"

Ning Que was not angry. Ma Sanduo said: "Mr. Sun, about a large number of people holding their breath in the water, this matter is also simple. But if you don't move for a day and night, without any movement, it is very difficult to climb to the sky. As far as we know, no one can do it. ”

Sun Buer's face was solemn, his face was not very good-looking, and he was about to say goodbye.

"Wait, Mr. Sun is famous, he must have been disturbed by the case of the Qingyan River, right? Just imagine, hundreds of black-clothed people who were good at water warfare suddenly appeared from the bottom of the boat that day, and they were bound to be caught off guard. But those people can't appear without evidence, and if they want to hide, they can only hide under the water. But in any case, more than ten miles away from the riverbank, there must have been an arrangement, otherwise it would definitely not be able to do so. Ma Sanduo immediately understood Sun Buer's intention, and continued to analyze: "More than ten miles is not long, but it is not short, if you hide a person and borrow some treasures, it is still a trivial matter, but hundreds of people, if you want to say that they are hidden under the water, as far as I know, it is rumored that there is something that can be done." ”

Sun Buer was startled, his face was picked, his fists tightened, "What is it?"

"Sea Leaves, this thing is a thing in the sea, it is extremely precious, and I have only heard of it slightly. It is rumored that this thing is very special, hidden deep in the sea, the leaves are as fluffy as bubbles, and the surface is scattered with countless pores, if you hold it in your mouth, you can hold your breath. But this thing is not easy to pick, even if the general water system refining spirit is high-level, it depends on luck, and at the bottom of the sea, there is a great terror, so this thing is rarely heard. Ma Sanduo said solemnly.

In a trance, Ning Que remembered the scene of that day, those black-clothed people who were severely injured by him, spit out blood stains with green juice, although it was fleeting, but he remembered it very clearly, because not only one person was like this, but all the people who vomited blood were all the same, and asked: "Gang Master, is this thing green?"

"Hmm, could it be that the little brother knows about this?" Ma Sanduo couldn't help but sigh softly.

Ning Que told the story of the encounter. Sun Buer's face became colder and colder, he couldn't imagine that the thief was so bold and did such a rebellious thing, and he couldn't imagine that the other party's intentions were so sinister, and he smashed the chair on his side to pieces with one palm, "It's really insidious and cunning, those soldiers were poisoned and died."

It's miserable, it's really dehumanizing. ”

Ma Sanduo sighed, shook his head helplessly, his position was different, in his opinion, if it weren't for the menacing appearance of Emperor Yue, who wanted to overwhelm people with power and win the water spirit, but he didn't want to make a big splash and be killed by someone, he could only sigh that the other party's bad luck was good," I once heard that the news of the sea bulging leaves came from the direction of the East China Sea, as for the strong poison powder, I was deeply impressed, twenty years ago, by chance, I robbed and killed several public ships destined for Platform County, and the other party also resorted to such a method, if it weren't for the fact that I had a few brothers who had died, I was afraid that I would end up with life and death. ”

Sun Buer's face was a little cold, a little unhappy, but it disappeared in a flash, after all, he came here to ask for help, and he promised some benefits, so he got such a precious clue.

"Whose ship is that?"
