Yexin explained: "Because of the relationship between the currents and the whirlpool, the ships are all docked in the north, which we explored many years ago, so we docked in the same place as the previous groups of people to land on the island, but we didn't wait for the news, so we sent a ship to check, but we didn't find the ship, but we saw some wreckage of the ship floating on the sea." ”

Gu Feng thought for a while and asked, "Are there many wreckage?" ”

"It's not much, but there's a good chance that the ship will be damaged and sunk." Yexin said, looking up at the sky, "Great, the sky is finally going to clear." ”

Tang Anshu asked: "Damaged and sunk?" How did you come to this conclusion? Is there anyone else around here? ”

Yexin said: "In addition to us, there are other small groups of pirates in the East China Sea, who refuse to dock at Yelong Island regularly according to the agreement, and live on the surrounding islands to fight their own battles, attacking merchant ships, fishing boats and even other pirate ships, and never leaving a mouth alive, of course, it may also be caused by a storm." ”

A few people talked as they walked, analyzing what had happened to the previous group of people, and at the same time, the sky finally cleared, the dark clouds left the top of everyone's heads, and the sun finally sprinkled down.

However, the joy in the hearts of the people was soon overshadowed by the heat brought by the sun, which shone on the ground and trees, evaporating the falling rainwater, and the heat soon turned into a sweltering heat, and the clothes on the people's bodies were soon soaked with sweat as soon as they were a little dry.

At this time, Tang Anshu was attracted by a stone on the side of the road, and he stopped to look.

Gu Feng also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Anshu pointed to the stone and said, "That stone ......"

Gu Feng, Benzoin, and Ye Xin all looked at the stone, which had been polished, one side was rough, and the other side was polished to be extremely smooth.

Benzoin asked, "What happened to that stone?" ”

Tang Anshu stepped forward and squatted down: "It seems that I saw it just now." ”

Gu Feng understood: "You mean, we are coming back again?" ”

Tang Anshu raised his eyes and looked at the footprints in front of him, and carefully identified them: "No, no, if we go around, there should be our footprints on the ground, especially yours, Adjutant Gu, you are wearing military boots, and there is no mark of military boots in front of you at all." ”

"And what do you mean?" Gu Feng asked puzzledly, "Why do you pay so much attention to this stone?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "I'm sure I saw this stone just now, the size is exactly the same, and if the Lingjian Mansion really has something to do with the Earth Master, the natural layout of this island will be artificially changed." ”

Yexin asked, "Artificial change?" ”

Tang Anshu pointed to the tree next to him: "You see, although the trees here are tall, they are not towering trees, it stands to reason that on this kind of uninhabited island, it is impossible to have no towering trees, and the types of trees are almost the same, and the height is about the same, they are not as high as the surrounding hills." ”

After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he took two quick steps, came to the bottom of the hill, and stepped on it with his feet: "The hill is full of soft soil at first glance, this soft soil will become soft when it encounters water, and after people step on it, because the weight will immediately sink, it will become difficult to walk, but when the scorching sun is in the sky and the temperature rises, this kind of soil will become extremely hard, and the surface is smooth, and it is very difficult to climb up." ”

"It shouldn't be difficult, it's neither high nor steep." Yexin stepped forward and said, "As long as you climb up with the help of tools, it's not difficult." ”

Tang Anshu shook his head: "I definitely can't climb up." ”

Yexin didn't believe it, picked up a few stones and threw them at the top of the hill, and after one of the stones landed on the surface of the hill with a crisp sound and then slid down, Yexin turned to one of the pirates under her and said, "You, climb up and take a look." ”

The pirate took the rope, tied an iron claw to one end of the rope, and after a few swings, threw it towards the top of the hill, trying to secure the rope with the iron claw, but no matter how he threw it, the iron claw could not grasp it steadily, and it slid down directly after touching the surface of the hill.

After trying several times, the pirate shook his head at Yexin.

"You just shoot there." Tang Anshu said to Yexin.

Ye Xin pulled out her gun and fired a shot at that position according to Tang Anshu's words, after the bullet hit the surface of the hill, although it left a bullet hole, the bullet also shook the dry soil on the surface of the hill, and then the dry soil broke away from the hill and slowly slid down.

Tang Anshu stepped forward and leaned over to pick up the piece of dry soil and handed it to Yexin: "Take a look." ”

Yexin took the piece of soil and found that the soil was very thin and rough to the touch, but it was smooth to the touch, like porcelain.

Yexin asked, "What the hell is this?" ”

"It's called Kuafu's land. Legend has it that this kind of soil only appears in the sky, but where the sky is, no one knows, when this kind of soil is soft, like clay, after gradually hardening, it will become several layers inside, just like bamboo shoots, peeling off a layer and another layer, but each layer is very brittle, but stacked together is very strong. Tang Anshu took the piece of soil in Ye Xin's hand, "This kind of soil was used in the organs of the Yin Mansion in the early years, first dig the trap, and then put the bamboo strips on top of the trap, and then spread a thin layer of Kuafu soil, people walk over directly, it's fine, but if you stand for too long, this kind of soil will be broken layer by layer, and people will fall into the trap." ”

Benzoin looked at the soil in Tang Anshu's hand: "But what's the point of the hills here being all Kuafu soil?" ”

Ye Xin interjected: "An Shu just said, the tree is not high, it is not as high as the hill, and the hill cannot be climbed because of the Kuafu soil, so the intention of artificially creating these things is to prevent us from climbing high and looking far, in other words, we are now in a labyrinth." ”

Tang Anshu approvingly: "Princess Yexin is right, that's it. ”

Benzoin was very unhappy and glared at Tang Anshu.

When Gu Feng heard this, he immediately looked ahead: "Oh no, Team A and Team B don't know yet." ”

Gu Feng said that he was about to step forward to catch up, but was stopped by Tang Anshu: "It's too late, when we walked into this small hill, we could still hear the voices of the people in front of us, and now we can't hear anything, which means that they have gone far away and are in the depths of the labyrinth." ”

Yexin was not panicked, and looked at Tang Anshu with a smile on her face: "Brother Anshu, you must have a way to get out, right?" ”

Yexin's address to Tang Anshu changed from calling him by his name to "Anshu", and then to the current "Brother Anshu", hearing Anzoin angry, and Tang Anshu was flushed. Even Gu Feng got goosebumps because of Ye Xin's delicate tone.

Several of the surrounding pirates also looked at each other, pretending not to hear anything, because Yexin had never done this to any man in the past, let alone close, not even a slightly normal tone.

Tang Anshu coughed unnaturally, calmed down, and was about to say something, but found that Benzoin was looking at him.

At this juncture, Tang Anshu did an extremely stupid thing, he actually asked Benzoin: "What's wrong with you?" ”

This question made Benzoin even more angry, not only angry, but also embarrassed, because Yexin was looking at her with a smile next to her.

"Not much!" Benzoin angrily turned away and sat aside.

Gu Feng was worried that the scene would get out of control if it went on like this, so he immediately stepped forward to comfort Benzoin, and at the same time gave Tang Anshu a look.

Tang Anshu knew that Gu Feng meant to let him continue, so he continued: "In the Art of War, there is a saying that there are three stops in the human form and three lives in the beast form. The people and beasts here refer to the living creatures in the world, and the three stops refer to the wind, rain, and birds, which means that if the wind does not invade, the rain does not attack, and the birds do not stop, it must be an ominous place. ”

Yexin nodded: "Then what does Sansheng mean?" ”

Tang Anshu said: "Sansheng refers to ants, centipedes and snakes, which means that the most dangerous place in the three stops is the place where ants, centipedes and poisonous snakes are entrenched, but the ants, centipedes and snakes mentioned here are synonymous with feng shui level, and the place we are in now is called - centipede three stops." ”

Gu Feng on the side hurriedly asked, "Is it dangerous?" ”

The problem of the ancient style is also the most concerned about the pirates under Ye Xin, although they are very glad that they are in the C team with Tang Anshu and Ye Xin, but they are also afraid of everything that is coming.

"How so?" Tang Anshu looked around and said, "According to the Art of War, there should be no more traps in this layout, this is a dilemma, in order to delay time, but the only thing that puzzles me is that stone." ”

Everyone's eyes also turned to the stone that Tang Anshu cared about.

Tang Anshu stepped forward and asked: "I don't remember that there is a record of this kind of stone in the Art of War, could it be that the people of the Earth Master Association and the Lingjian Mansion deliberately made changes?" ”

Tang Anshu said as he placed other stones on the side of the stone, which was regarded as a mark, and then led the team to move forward.

In the artificial natural labyrinth called "Centipede Three Stops", Tang Anshu successively found a total of twelve stones of the same size, because when he counted to the thirteenth, he found that it was the stone he had marked for the first time.

"Sure enough, we're back." Tang Anshu stood in front of the stone, "I was going around in circles from beginning to end. ”

Gu Feng was puzzled, and looked at it with a compass: "But, we have been walking towards the south before?" Why did you suddenly change direction? You've been walking in a straight line, right? ”

"The difference between a feng shui maze and an ordinary maze is that an ordinary maze can use a compass, but it doesn't work much, while in a feng shui maze, you use a compass instead of confusing yourself, because people's attention can't be on the compass anytime and anywhere." Tang Anshu looked at Gu Feng and asked, "Adjutant Gu, did you notice that the compass suddenly changed direction?" ”

Gu Feng said: "Yes, I thought I was dazzled. ”

"There must have been a lot of magnets in the place we walked before." Tang Anshu took the compass and looked at it.

Benzoin couldn't help but say, "Even if the compass is useless, the sun will never change, right?" The position of the sun is different at each time. ”

Tang Anshu didn't look up, but just raised his hand and pointed to the left and right: "You look up." ”

Benzoin looked in the first direction, saw a sun, and when she looked in the other direction, she found that there was another one.

Benzoin was dumbfounded, but found that the others were not surprised.
