After listening to the three things Lin Sumo said, Hou Luan felt that it was not as happy as being killed by Lin Sumo with a sword, none of these three things was easy to do.

However, thinking of Lin Sumo's methods, Hou Luan felt cold in his heart for no reason, and he could only do the first thing first according to Lin Sumo's instructions.

Seek to seize the 'Chaohu Water Village' and build a powerful water army.

Twenty or thirty years ago, this "Chaohu Lake Village" was originally a floating island built by fishermen by Chaohu Lake in Chaohu Lake to rest their feet and avoid wind and rain.

However, with the chaos in the world, more and more homeless people gathered in the water village. The water village has also developed from a temporary station to a large gathering place that can accommodate more than 1,000 people.

Later, some outlaws on the rivers and lakes joined, and the area of the water village became larger and larger, and gradually formed a force headed by Shen Shenzhou, the owner of the second village, Lu Qianfan, the third village, the third village, Gao Mingda, and the fifth village, Zhu Yuanzheng.

Hou Luan knew very well that in order to seize the 'Chaohu Water Village', the strength of the 'Panlong Fort' alone was obviously not enough!

However, although there are a large number of people in the 'Chaohu Water Village', most of them are ordinary people who fled from nearby states and counties, and there are not many people in the rivers and lakes who know kung fu, so they are not as good as the eight gangs and ten associations in terms of strength, but the 'Chaohu Water Village' has its own uniqueness, that is, warships.

According to Yi Hui's confession, there are more than 100 large and small warships in Chaohu Water Village, in order not to arouse the covetousness of the major forces in the outside world, these warships are usually moored in the water harbor in the depths of the water village, not only that, but also has its own naval army war department, the number of up to more than 400 people, these people fish in Chaohu Lake on weekdays for a living, secretly exercise water nature, once the war is steep, only need a little training to become an army.

Lin Sumo couldn't help but ponder for a long time after hearing this, and said: "In this way, this 'Chaohu Water Village' is a force that should not be underestimated, and when it is really used, I am afraid that it is much stronger than the Eight Gangs and Ten Guilds, and there are masters in the 'Chaohu Water Village', Lin is eager to see it immediately!" ”

With Lin Sumo's cultivation, it is not difficult for a single sword to destroy Chaohu Water Village, but if you want to subdue the 'Chaohu Water Village' for your own use, you naturally can't rely on force alone, you have to convince it, and it will be like an arm!

But this is not something that can be done overnight after all, so Lin Sumo put Yihui back, which can be regarded as a shadow in the 'Chaohu Water Village'.

'Panlong Fort' is located at the foot of Xicang Mountain, there are big and small Cangshan mountains as a barrier in front of the fort, looking at it from afar, it seems that there is the potential of a tiger standing on the dragon plate.

The treasure Hou Luan said is actually a forbidden place in the mountain behind 'Panlong Fort', and Panlong Fort was established precisely because of this forbidden land.

"What's so special about this forbidden land?"

Standing outside the forbidden land, Lin Sumo looked at the depths of the forbidden land, and at this time, the clouds covered the fog and he couldn't see clearly.

Hou Luan thought for a while and said: "This has to start from more than a hundred years ago, when the ancestors of the Hou family inadvertently strayed into this valley and were trapped in the valley for several days, one night, the sky was thunderstormed, and the ancestors found that there were many illusions in the valley, like ghosts, and in the illusions, there seemed to be countless top masters fighting!" ”

Later, the ancestors realized a type of knife technique in the illusion, after going out of the valley, with this style of knife method to break out of a lot of fame, after becoming famous, the ancestors felt that it was rare to cultivate an inch, and then entered this valley many times, however, they never saw those illusions again, the ancestors thought that the opportunity had not arrived, so they built the Panlong Fort here. I hope that one day I will be able to see the illusion in this valley and realize a higher and deeper practice. ”

Lin Sumo listened to Hou Luan's narration, and only felt that this section seemed to be a little familiar, thunderstorms, deep valleys, illusions, if there were magnet deposits hidden in this deep valley, wouldn't this be a natural 'recording studio'?

If these conditions are met, it must be a thunderstorm for many years, there are masters fighting here, and the images of the battles are burned in this valley, and many years later, the ancestors of the Hou family inadvertently walked into the valley, and in a thunderstorm some kind of condition was triggered, and those images that were burned were played again, and the good luck was seen by the ancestors of the Hou family.

Lin Sumo asked, "What is the name of the one-style sword technique that the ancestor of the Hou family realized?" ”

Hou Luan said: "According to genealogical records, the ancestor realized this style of knife technique is called 'Breaking the Sea'. ”

Lin Sumo asked, "This style of sword technique will not be the lord of Hou Castle?" ”

Hou Luan shook his head and said: "The ancestor of the family once said that this style of sword technique is given by God, and if it is passed on to future generations, it will be in vain. If the descendants of future generations are capable, they can enter the valley on their own to comprehend the knife technique. Therefore, although this style of knife method ended up with the ancestors. ”

"Breaking the sea? Hopefully, it's just a coincidence. ”

Lin Sumo muttered, hoping it wasn't the set of sword techniques he knew, otherwise this plane mission would probably be hell-level!

However, Lin Sumo immediately felt that he was a little worried, this is the Tang Dynasty plane, a high martial arts plane, and the top of the sky is the 'Broken Void' level of the Dao realm, with Lin Sumo practicing the "Recipe for Longevity", if you can penetrate the five elements of yin and yang, refine into the realm of the five qi dynasty yuan and the three flowers gathering at the top, and condense the yin and yang two qi, you can go straight to the realm of the Tao!

Lin Sumo entered the valley alone, observed the terrain in the valley, and experimented with iron tools, and the results confirmed his guess that there was indeed a huge magnet deposit in this valley, and it stretched several miles along the mountain range.

Moreover, this valley is twisting and turning, resembling a labyrinth, coupled with the interference of natural magnetic fields, people will lose their way if they are not careful.

Lin Sumo spent a day exploring the entire valley, but did not find anything special, perhaps only by waiting for a thunderstorm to use thunder and lightning to drive the magnets in the valley to see if he could reproduce the scene that the ancestors of the Hou family saw in the past.

As for why the ancestors of the Hou family never saw the illusion in the valley again, Lin Sumo could only simply attribute it to the fact that the strength of the thunder and lightning was not enough, or the thunder and lightning did not hit the magnet mine in the valley, so the image burned in the magnet mine was not projected.

In the next few days, Lin Sumo stayed in this 'Panlong Fort', studying the valley while watching the changes in the battle situation in Liyang.

The illusion of the valley is clueless, but the battle situation in Liyang has changed greatly, although every day, Hou Luan has a large number of news delivered, but the timeliness and authenticity of these messages are a headache for Lin Sumo, often the previous news has just been delivered and has not yet been decided, the next news is delivered, and the situation on the battlefield has undergone a major change.

Thinking of this, Lin Sumo couldn't help but sigh to Fu Junwu: "If you can take the Baling Gang into your palm, you won't have such a headache, over the years, the Baling Gang has opened more than 200 green buildings and more than 300 large and small gambling houses and wine shops in the Central Plains under various names.

These green houses, gambling houses, and wine shops are the most, widest, and fastest sources of information about the rivers and lakes, which invisibly, the Baling Gang is equivalent to establishing a huge news network.

As long as you control the Baling Gang, it is equivalent to controlling this news network, competing for dominance in the world, in addition to money and food, followed by news, you must know the situation in the world, the information is ever-changing, only we have the latest and most complete information, in order to be step by step! ”

Fu Junwu said: "But, as far as I know, this Baling Gang seems to be the lackeys of Yang Guang, the faint monarch!" ”

Lin Sumo shook his head and smiled: "Jun Wu only knows one and doesn't know the other, as the so-called 'this time and that time', if the rebels are everywhere today, Yang Guang has no time to take care of himself, where can he still take care of a small 'Baling Gang', although the 'Baling Gang' is not bad in the Eight Gangs and Ten Guilds, but without Yang Guang's tiger skin, the life of the 'Baling Gang' will be very sad!" ”

Fu Junwu smiled when she heard this: "If the 'Baling Gang' knows that there is a big master like you who covets the foundation of the 'Baling Gang', I'm afraid I won't lick my face and stick it over!" ”

Lin Sumo said with a smile: "The big boss of the 'Baling Gang' is Lu Kang, and the second leader Xiao Mo is also a near-first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and it is not easy to subdue them!" ”

Speaking of this, Lin Sumo suddenly remembered that Lu Kangshou, the big boss of the 'Baling Gang', would be assassinated and killed by the 'shadow assassin' Yang Xuyan soon, and he might be able to plot a thing or two on top of this matter.

On this day, Hou Luan hurriedly returned to the fort from outside and brought back a few news.

One is that Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army has completed the occupation of Liyang and several surrounding counties, and the Sui army in this range has either been wiped out or retreated in the direction of Jiangdu, and Du Fuwei's sphere of influence is not far from Jiangdu.

The second incident was that one of the Dongming faction's account books was stolen, which caused the major forces to be extremely nervous, especially those gangs and gate lords who had weapons transactions with the Dongming faction.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the people who stole the account book are Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and for this account book, not only the forces of the Haisha Gang, the Jukun Gang, and the Baling Gang are looking for them, but also Yuwen Valve and Li Valve are also looking for the whereabouts of the two

In addition, Yang Guang didn't know where to find out that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were pregnant with "Longevity Formula", so he sent the palace masters to the south, preparing to capture the two and return to the palace to ask about the whereabouts of "Longevity Formula".

Knowing that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were in deep danger, Fu Junwu couldn't sit still, but Lin Sumo knew that the two of them were in danger along the way, not only safe and sound, but also realized the true meaning of martial arts between life and death, and even made great progress in martial arts, laying a solid foundation for stepping into the realm of 'martial arts grandmaster' in the future.

However, even if these words were spoken, Fu Junwu probably didn't believe it, so Lin Sumo asked Fu Junwu to wait for a long time, waiting for Hou Luan's exact news to come, and he personally went to the 'Chaohu Water Village'.

The strategy of 'Chaohu Water Village' is Lin Sumo's next focus, the land south of the Yangtze River, there are many lakes and rivers, the water system is huge, and they are interconnected, if there is a strong naval army, the entire land south of the Yangtze River can be left to the horizontal.

According to Yi Hui's confession, Shen Shenzhou, the master of 'Chaohu Water Village', seems to have been born in Buddhism, and this Tang world, known as the 'Zen Ancestral Garden' of Shaolin, is not visible, and 'Jingnian Zen Academy' is the head of Buddhism.

However, for Lin Sumo, the 'Chaohu Water Village' is bound to win, even if the four gods and monks of the 'Jingnian Zen Temple' come in person, it can't change the ending of the 'Chaohu Water Village' changing hands.
