In the next three days, the full moon day soon came, Yue Guanchao and they took advantage of the fine afternoon to come to the dock, and when they arrived at the place, Zhu Fushun and Ma Yanghua were already waiting for them at the dock.

"Brother Yue, Sister Song, the drift boat is too big and eye-catching, when we get to the place, we will borrow a ferry to take you to Junshan Island, and when we get there, everything will be done according to the plan."

"Okay, I'm tired Brother Zhu has worked hard."

After Yue watched the tide and they got on the boat, the Zhu couple immediately set off and crossed the Dongting waters to Junshan Island in the northwest.

About two hours later, the boat has approached Junshan Island, and the temple fair on the embankment is lively, and the voices of people are gradually noisy.

After getting off the boat, they borrowed a ferry from an acquaintance, and in the name of taking guests on a tour of Dongting Lake, they sailed from the pier into the lake with Yue Guanchao.

After Yue Guanchao got on the boat, he looked at the ferry boat at his feet, which was only seven or eight meters long and only five meters wide, which was indeed smaller and lighter than the drift boat.

This kind of boat is mostly used to attract tourists, the hull is ebony lacquered, the structure is compact, like a shuttle with a pointed head and a wide belly, there is something like a pergola built on the belly of the ship, in which are placed tables, chairs and benches, and the wooden cabins on all sides are tightly spliced, and only four or five parallel windows are opened at half waist height.

If anything, it's an oars that can only be slid by hand!

"It's been a long time since I've used this kind of hand-rowed boat, but luckily I haven't lost my early years."

As Zhu Fushun spoke, the ferry boat had already sailed towards the desolate area on both sides of Junshan Island, and as it moved away from the Longjun Temple and the temple fair, the noisy voices were gradually drowned out by the wind and trees, leaving only the chirping of birds and the rustling of grass leaves.

"Brother Zhu, do this kind of ferry business too?"

Yue Guanchao walked out of the cabin and asked while standing on the board.

Zhu Fushun shook the squeaky oars, wiped his sweat and said: "That's not it, who can eat a fat man in one go, we can't save a fishing boat at the beginning, my ancestor went ashore relatively late, and he was old and frail and didn't have much work, so he got a ferry boat to pick up passengers in Dongting Lake." ”

"Until my old man's generation is still an old business, to my generation, this is the accumulation of family funds for a fishing boat, speaking of our fishing boat used to be the government's manpower sand boat, and then they eliminated it, we bought it cheaply, these ten years, we are fishing and soliciting customers, while transforming the fishing boat, stunned to change the boat into their own roof, usually sleep in the cabin, there is work to do no work on the rest, although not as good as those martial arts, dart games, life is also free."

Yue Guanchao saw that Zhu Fushun was a little more talkative than before, so he decided to go around the bend to ask about Yutu, coughed a few times and said, "Brother Zhu, isn't your grandfather the master in the bandit camp?" Didn't you make a living with those bandits when you went ashore? ”

Zhu Fushun waved his hand: "Hey, the people of one side must also abide by the rules of the other, the water bandits are bandits in Dongting Lake, and they become people on land, these dart bureaus, martial arts halls and so on, are all operated by the government, and the water bandits are just begging for food, and their own camps are all a mess, who can take care of others." ”

He paused, and said in a mysterious tone: "My grandfather was not good at bones back then, and he didn't have much strength, but fortunately, he skimmed books for a few days in the water bandit camp, relying on accounting and writing, and being able to speak and speak, and he fell into the reputation of a master's account room. ”

"When you get to land!"

Zhu Fushun coughed a few times: "The Martial Arts Hall of the Human Dart Bureau has long had an account room, and it is not his turn to offer ugliness, besides, Yueyang City Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the little ink in his stomach is not enough to see at all." Later, I really couldn't find a way to live, so I got a ferry boat to do a boat business, which barely pulled my old man up, this, it's called a party overlord and a turtle, don't care about the scenery before, if you change places, you have to start over. ”

Yue Guanchao saw that the atmosphere was warm and the time was ripe, and he joked: "Oh, it turns out that this is the case, if you want to say so, then your grandfather might as well go back to Chiba Island, I see that when these bandit villages were built, there were masters to guide them, and even the bandit villages were secretly combined with the gossip image, maybe they can also use feng shui to make a comeback." ”

"You say this bandit? That's exactly what happened. ”

As soon as Zhu Fushun mentioned this, he seemed to open the conversation box and talked about the history of the first construction of the bandit village: "I, I also heard my grandfather say these ancient words when I was a child......"

In that year, after the Nanming generals became water bandits, they began to build the secret passage and bandit village of Chiba Island, after all, the island is naturally formed, and it is not because of the change of mind, it is quite difficult to build the bandit village, when opening the mountain and blowing up the stone, often for various reasons, or the stone side cannot be blown up at all, or the force is too strong, and the ground is directly blown up.

Even, after entering Chiba Island, some soldiers lost their way and couldn't get out, this is the desolate and uninhabited Wild Lake Islands, and some soldiers began to worry about whether something strange happened to this island or offended some gods.

Fortunately, there were military advisors in the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who were familiar with Qimen Dunjia, so they used the theory of gossip to explore the whole picture of Chiba Island, and only after they went into the water did they find that this Chiba Island was actually a whole island.

As long as they dive to a certain depth, they can see that all the islands are connected together, this huge island in the lake is probably changed by external forces, to form the current thousand island form, if the water level settles to a certain low point, you can still see this huge island supporting a thousand strange mountains to expose the lake.

To be precise, the island is a huge man-made labyrinth, but the walls and space of this labyrinth are not ordinary, but are connected by specific islands and water surfaces.

Although the military advisor can see that this is a man-made labyrinth, he does not know what the purpose of this labyrinth is, and can only conclude with the ingenuity of ancient predecessors, and regard it as a miracle of God's gift.

For the generals of Nanming, there is an island in the lake that secretly agrees with gossip, and this island can accommodate and hide, which means that God does not want to let Nanming die and wants to keep the last remnant of Nanming.

With this kind of thinking in their hearts, combined with the gossip theory, it is easy to see the hexagram relationship between the islands, as long as they build secret passages and build bandit villages between the hexagram relationships, it is easy to succeed, and nothing strange happens.

However, there is one place that they will never explore, and that is the location of the Yin and Yang Fisheye of Bagua, and if it is replaced by an actual location, it is Jade Hook Island in the center of the island.

Yue Guanchao listened to Zhu Fushun's words, his doubts were relieved for a while, and then he asked: "In the past three hundred years, haven't the water bandits discovered the secret of Jade Hook Island?" ”

Zhu Fushun explained: "Brother Yue, there were military advisors from the imperial court among the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty back then, and they were familiar with the Qimen Dunjia gossip and easy techniques, and even this kind of clever military advisors couldn't break through the mysteries of this Chiba Island, and the subsequent disciples and grandchildren all became bandits, how to explore Yugou Island." ”

"However, I guess Jade Hook Island does have weirdness."

Speaking of this, Zhu Fushun lowered his voice, and his eyes obviously became evasive: "My grandfather is a master, and I once heard a rule in the bandit village, water bandits in the past generations are not allowed to dig Yugou Island, saying that there is an island god on Yugou Island, and once it is excavated, it will offend the gods, and the hidden effect of this island will be gone." ”

"This, it must be a lie, I guess there is indeed some mechanism on Jade Hook Island, or there is something strange on Jade Hook Island, otherwise Master Zu would not have left such a sentence, with the passage of time, what does this sentence mean, the water bandits don't know, they only abide by the rules of not digging Jade Hook Island."

When Zhu Fushun spoke, he had already taken them to the side of Junshan Island, as the shore of the lake was craggy, there were many impact caves began to appear in front of him, these caves do not show the stone surface, you can see the surface of the vines and grasses, branches climbing, aquatic plants and moss cover the caves, as if it is an underground labyrinth with countless exposed skylight, the ferry boat occasionally floats to the top of the cave, and it can be seen that the shadow is full of light and sprinkled down the sinkhole.

Yue Guanchao took out the map and handed it to Zhu Fushun, he watched the map manipulate the ferry to wander in the arch cave at will, and waited until he wandered to the deepest part of the arch cave before everyone found that there was no waterway in front of them, and only a glimpse of the dense moss stone wall remained.

"This is it."

Zhu Fushun looked at the map and hurriedly taxied the boat to the vicinity of the stone wall: "I heard my old man say that there is a chain at the entrance, as long as the chain is pulled, the wall can be opened." ”

When speaking, Zhu Fushun and Yue Guanchao did not stop their movements, picked up the flashlight and continued to observe around the stone wall, it can be seen that this stone wall is square and huge, the length and width are about five or six meters, and it is covered with moss and vines all around, and it is really difficult to distinguish if you don't look carefully.

He picked up the dagger and stabbed it through the crack in the door, and if it did, he could cut through the vines smoothly, protruding the lines of the stone door completely out of the vine background.

"There you have it, here."

Zhu Fushun approached the water, fished around in the water, noticed that his hand touched the iron chain, and grabbed it out of the water.

Just waiting for the chains to be pulled out, the stone gate rumbled and turned, and moved into the mountain in front of them, and a dark secret passage appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Yue Guanchao turned on the flashlight to shine on it, the secret passage is similar to the outside world, it is composed of arches and water surfaces, the four walls are chiseled out of the plane, the beams and columns support each other, between the four walls is either fresh moss, if it is withered grass and vine debris, dust accumulates for half a century, everything is soil.

"No one has been to this secret passage for decades, so let's be careful when we go in later."

Zhu Fushun shook the oars and led them into the secret passage, just waiting to turn the lamp niche from the inside, and the stone door closed tightly with a bang.

By this time, the secret passage had become pitch black, and they had to take out a flashlight to constantly illuminate the environment around the hull.

Some people died, but not completely......
