This is a large river like the sea, and because it has been dug and repaired by hand, the river is very wide, and it is not a problem to accommodate several boats at the same time.

I have to admit that Andingguo has done a pretty good job in this regard.

The two of them blew the wind on the deck for a while, and then went into the cabin.

Shen Yuruo was a little dizzy as soon as he got on the boat, and he didn't have the energy to come over to make a big light bulb at this time, so he could only sleep in his room to alleviate the pain of seasickness.

No one was pestering, Mu Ling was naturally happy to prepare the things that should be used.

According to her inference, if it is really a ghost ship, maybe there are reefs, submarine vortices or abnormal magnetic fields in that area, which will involve the ship in destruction, and if you are unlucky, you will not see a single debris of the ship.

But if it's not a ghost ship, it's hiding a force somewhere, and this force is commonly known as 'pirates' in modern terms.

The former is a natural hazard, unknown but detectable, and can be avoided as long as you are careful.

The latter is a man-made disaster, the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light, and the enemy has lived here for a long time, and knows the surrounding terrain better than they do. In other words, they can't take advantage of the situation at all, and they have to be very careful where they go.

"Look here, it's Strange Rock Gorge." Mu Ling spread out the map and pointed to one of the places, "This place is a pile of strange rocks, but a canyon has been split here, allowing the open sea to communicate with the inland river, becoming a smooth place." But around this, the terrain is steep, and it is not easy to settle. ”

This is the reason why the geographical location of this strange stone gorge is so important, but it is still like a wasteland.

If it is not suitable for economic development, no one will come.

However, the normal economy is not suitable for development, and some crooked and evil ways are easy, and it is not necessarily that no one lives in this place.

On the contrary, maybe there are a group of people stationed here, but they don't know it.

Liang Chu looked at the entire map carefully, quickly memorized the territory in his heart, and then asked, "Where did the map come from?" ”

"Looking for jade, this is not a marching map, it is not so accurate, but it is just a reference." Mu Ling glanced up at him, "I remember that Shen Qingling should have given you the map, but only in the country." ”

Shen Qingling guarded against them, so naturally he would not be so generous.

Liang Chu nodded, and then his eyes became a little deeper: "It's exactly the same as this." ”

Shen Qingling will be perfunctory, he just wants a domestic map, and he even wants a fake one to fool him!

Although he hadn't relied entirely on the map, it was unpleasant to think about.

"Poof—"

Mu Ling probably guessed a little, and couldn't help but bow his head and smile: "It's okay, this map is actually just drawn by human movement." There are many places where there are biases and inaccuracies. ”

In this era of no satellite positioning, there will be unknown dangers in every land.

And even with a map, it's possible to make mistakes.

Liang Chu nodded and pointed in the direction of the Strange Stone Gorge: "The Zhang family has been in the Navigation Division for so many years, and they have discovered the treasure of the Strange Stone Gorge, it is impossible for them to have no arrangements here." ”

At least arrange a whistle, right?

Mu Ling agreed: "I think that the ghost ship this time is more man-made. ”

"Hmm. If that's the case, it's tricky. ”

Whether this is the person who guards the treasure arranged by the Zhang family, or the force cultivated in secret. There must be a reason why they went to attack Bai Laiguo.

And this time, the court sent people to save the group of people in Bailai Kingdom, and they will inevitably clash with this group of people, and I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle at that time.

Liang Chu was a little worried.

"It's okay, I've prepared some roughly, you take this with you."

Mu Ling took out a small bamboo tube, the bamboo tube is very slender, as thick as a flute, but it is only on one finger, and a rope is tied to one end, which is also good-looking.

Liang Chu took it and looked at it repeatedly, but he didn't see anything famous, so he simply prepared to tie it around his waist as a jade pendant.

Mu Ling snatched it and put it back in his pocket, patted it before saying: "This is the same principle as fireworks, as soon as the string is torn open, this thing can fly to the sky to report the news." If you and I are in danger, we must pull this thing apart and warn everyone. ”

This can also be helped.

Liang Chu nodded: "Can you take it?" ”

"Well, naturally."

"Bring a few more."

"It's useless to bring too much, just one is enough. I also prepared it for Yuruo, and I will give it to her when I go ashore. Mu Ling glanced at Liang Chu amusedly, and picked up the things in his hand.

This time it's a mission!

The boat was very peaceful, and nothing went wrong.

Three days later, they landed at the Haikou Wharf of Strange Stone Gorge and entered the area of Strange Stone Gorge.

This place is really rarely visited, that is, the wharf is just a simple place with a meaning, and you can vaguely see a few wisps of cooking smoke on the wharf, but fortunately, it is also inhabited.

Mu Ling quickly observed the surrounding terrain and found that although there were some strange rocks around, they were not as spectacular as the legend, and they had just touched the boundary of the strange stone gorge.

It was not early, so Qin Cha came over and said with a smile: "There is no post station here, we can only find a few houses to live in." It's just that the houses here are not good, so don't dislike it, we will have to stay here for a few days until we find out where the ghost ship is. ”

Everyone nodded, but there was no opinion.

The group walked towards the village, and the wisps of smoke they saw in the distance became closer and closer. When I got to a higher place, I looked at the whole village, and the few wisps of cooking smoke actually gave birth to a few feelings of loneliness.

"It's close to the coast, and it's very convenient to go by sea, why are the villages so barren?"

Mu Ling frowned, although there are stones in many places in this place, there are still many places that are overgrown with weeds, and the growth state of the weeds is also extremely dense, presumably the soil quality should be good, and it is no problem to reclaim it and grow some food, right?

How can such a land be wasted like this?

Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Qin Cha couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly: "This place was originally uninhabited, but I don't know when refugees fled here, and then it became populated, but it couldn't develop." There is basically no one to manage it here, so it's just like this. ”

Where it is not important, the imperial court will not bother.

But in Mu Ling's view, this is a waste of land resources.

It's a waste to not know if it's a good place to reclaim, and it deserves to be a pirate here!
