Qin Sang's eyes wandered, and he said: "The concubine is not worried about the storm, but Lu Qiuhong has more than ten sailing ships, and they will definitely guard the surrounding sea, if our ship is surrounded and intercepted by them, I am afraid that there will be trouble." ”

Master Lingyin of "Putuo" also said: "What Qin Nuxia said is very true, and Lao Wei also has this concern. If we fight in a short fight, we are not afraid, but if Lu Qiuhong attacks with artillery, it is not easy to deal with. ”

Peng San smiled "haha" and said, "You must not have seen a storm at sea to think like this." Hehe, as soon as this big storm comes, the giant Lang is higher than the mountain, the hull of our treasure ship is huge, and it can't sail those small clippers in normal times, but in the storm, it is much stronger than them, and when I Peng San is personally at the helm, you can rest assured!"

Other people may not know Peng San's ability, but Nangong Qi has a deep understanding of the ability of these five short-lived men to drive boats, and said happily at the moment: "That's good, then I will have to favor Peng Sanye!"

Peng San said with a smile: "It's easy to say, Master Nangong doesn't have to be polite." ”

The distant sunset slowly sank into the sea, and as it darkened, the cabin was lit with a dead wind lamp.

There was still not a trace of wind around, and there was silence, not even the sound of the waves, but the stars in the sky did not appear, but turned into a gray color.

Storms are dangerous and terrible celestial phenomena for sailors sailing on the sea, but now the hundreds of people in the rivers and lakes on the giant ship are all looking forward to the arrival of the storm.

Tang Zilan, who was standing outside the hatch, finally felt a hint of wind, he stared into the distance, but saw a small dark cloud at the end of the sky.

At this time, I heard Peng San speak: "Master Tang, now you can send a letter to call all the sentry posts on the island back, if I am not mistaken, it won't be long before a hurricane will blow here, and the tsunami will be together, and the fireworks signal will not be sent out at that time!"

Before Tang Zilan could answer, Qin Sang's face had already changed, and he said, "What kind of hurricane and tsunami are you talking about, isn't it an ordinary thunderstorm!"

Peng San still looked grinning, and said unhurriedly: "Hurricanes are also winds, what does it matter if you find something unusual, do you think that an ordinary small thunderstorm can make the tide flood in front of this village?"

Hearing this, everyone in the cabin was shocked, and even the Yuanguang Master, whose face had always been as calm as water, changed his expression.

The so-called "hurricane", also known as the "dragon whirlwind" or "dragon taking water", is an extremely rare storm. If an ordinary thunderstorm is just a danger for boaters at sea, a hurricane at sea can be called a disaster.

Because it not only brings a storm of wind, but also forms a column of water in the sky, which meets the clouds, just like a dragon in the sky sucks the sea. And wherever the whirlwind passes, anything will be swept into the air, and even a huge and solid ship will inevitably be destroyed!

Sailing in the weather of a hurricane is extraordinary, if not suicidal, dangerous.

At this time, the original breeze in the air had slowly become stronger, and the dark clouds on the horizon expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a moment, a large area of the sky was already filled, surging in the direction of this island!

It seems that what Peng San said is not false at all, the storm is coming soon.

Tang Zilan shouted: "Someone! Shoot fireworks signals to inform the sentry posts on the island to return to the giant ship quickly!"

A Tang Sect disciple at the door responded to the call.

Tang Zilan coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "This kind of hurricane celestial phenomenon is more beneficial for us to escape Lu Qiuhong's interception at sea, and now there is no other way out, only to get out by boat, if anyone is unwilling to take risks, it is okay to stay on this island!"

Most of the people in the cabin, and even the masters of various sects, had only heard of the horror of hurricanes and tsunamis but had never experienced them, and some had never even heard of them. But walking on the rivers and lakes and experiencing danger is a common thing, not to mention that in such a situation, even if you don't get out by boat, most of them are dead, and there is still some life in taking a risk.

The crowd had quickly regained their composure, and no one wanted to stay.

By the time the tea had been served, the island sentry had withdrawn to the ship, and the storm was coming sooner than expected.

The breeze soon turned into a gale, and the gale turned into a violent wind, and the dark clouds overwhelmed half of the sky like heavy lumps of lead, and dyed the already gloomy ocean into pitch black. The only light was the silver serpent lightning that burst out of the clouds.

Through the afterglow of instantaneous lightning, you can vaguely see that above the ocean in the distance, the terrifying surge, like a huge wall, surging towards the direction of "Wanyi Island"!

Those big Langs like huge walls are exactly the coming tsunami frenzy, although they are far away, but everyone in the cabin is not weak, and it has been estimated that the surging Lang tide is at least ten zhang high!

With the roar of thunder, raindrops were already falling in the sky, and the sea near the island was also flooded with layers of waves.

Tang Zilan asked, "Third Master Peng, in your opinion, how long will it take for the tide to rise to the bottom of the mountain?"

Peng San narrowed his eyes, looked at the giant Lang rolling in the sky, and said, "In a quarter of an hour, the tide will come, and I think it will rise to the bottom of the mountain in more than half an hour at most." ”

Tang Zilan said: "Okay, where is the Thunder Hall Master of the 'Thunderbolt Hall'? Tell him to prepare to light the gunpowder, and when the tide comes, he will blow up the reef!"

It is not an easy task to blow up the reef that is stuck in the treasure ship without damaging the huge ship, but it is not impossible for the "Thunderbolt Hall" in Fuzhou, which is accustomed to gunpowder. The previous Thunder Hall Master had already carved a hole in the reef and placed the gunpowder in it, waiting for the time to ignite and detonate it.

But at this moment, I saw a Tang Sect disciple holding a feather arrow and hurriedly running into the hatch, and a paper roll was tied to the shaft of the feather arrow in his hand with silk thread. The disciple walked up to Tang Zilan and said, "Report to the deputy sect master, someone shot this arrow on the side of the ship just now. ”

Tang Zilan frowned, reached out to take the flying arrow, and asked, "Can you see who shot it?"

The disciple replied, "It's too dark to see who shot it." ”

Tang Zilu took off the paper roll on the arrow shaft, unfolded it to look at it, and his face sank instantly.

He turned his gaze to Hua Bushi, who was standing by the window, and said, "Young Master Hua, this piece of paper is written to you." ”

Hua Bushi said, "Oh?" He took a few steps forward, took the paper in Tang Zilan's hand, and after just one glance, his expression changed greatly.

It was a note about three inches wide, with a line of words written crookedly:

If you want his wife to live, come to Nanshi Cliff immediately, don't forget to bring the jade treasure This line of words is written with an ink pen, very scribbled, and the pen holder is messy, which is obviously intentional by the writer, the purpose is not to let others identify the handwriting.

On the surface, this is a standard money-extortion letterhead, and people in the underworld have kidnapped the ticket and usually write such a blackmail letter to the financier, but it is too unusual for this letterhead to appear here and now!

Now is the time when the storm and the tide are approaching, and everyone is about to leave the island by boat, and even if someone wants to kidnap a ticket for extortion, it should not be at this time, unless the person does not want to get out by boat at all.

The "jade treasure" written on the note, others may not feel different, but Hua Bushi's heart is clear, and what he is referring to must be the "Panlong Jue" he got in Nanao Town!

The person who wrote this note could actually know that "Panlong Jue" had fallen into his hands, which was enough to shock the eldest young master's heart!

At noon, Hai Hongzhu followed Hua Bushi and the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" to the giant ship, but now, everyone searched the whole boat, but they could no longer find any trace of her.

On the deck, Bai Yiling's face was full of anxiety, and he said, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, I saw the girl Hongzhu in the cabin, why is it missing now!"

It was Bai Yiling's duty to take care of Hai Hongzhu, and Hua Bushi had already instructed her. But the storm on the sea was coming, and the sky was changing drastically, she couldn't help but run to the deck to watch, so she left Hai Hongzhu alone in the cabin. Now that Hai Hongzhu is missing, the most anxious person is Bai Yiling, her eyes are red, and she is almost about to cry.

Chu Yiyi, Zhu Hong and Meng Huan were also standing aside, their faces full of anxiety.

Hua Bushi stared at the piece of paper closely, and said after a while: "Don't blame Ling'er for this matter, if the other party wants to rob people, even if you are next to you, I'm afraid you can't stop it." Looks like I'm going to have to go to South Rock Cliff as well. ”

"Young Master Hua, slow down!" the person who spoke was Tang Zilan, "Now that the storm is coming, the tide on the sea will rise to the front of the mountain at any time, and now go to that stone cliff, I am afraid that it will delay the time to sail, which is not appropriate." ”

Qin Sang, who was standing on the side, also said: "What the Tang Sect Master said is extremely true, that person kidnapped Mrs. Hua at this time, presumably to delay the time for me to get out of the boat, judging from the concubine, most of the people who kidnapped the ticket were sent by Lu Qiuhong!"

Hua Bushi said: "Don't worry about the Tang Sect Master, the tide rises to the bottom of the mountain, and when the time comes, you can blow up the rocks and set sail, you don't need to wait for me to come back." ”

When he said this, his expression was very resolute, and it was clear that he had already made a decision to go. Tang Zilan frowned secretly, and there was some hesitation in his expression.

As Qin Sang said, at this juncture, most of the kidnappers are Lu Qiuhong's people, and their purpose is self-evident. Moreover, this person is very likely to be a member of the sect, and he is Lu Qiuhong's second guest on the island. Otherwise, there are so many masters of various factions on this huge ship, and there are people guarding the ship, and it will not be so easy for outsiders to sneak in and rob people.

Since the other party is prepared, Hua Bushi only took a few people from the "Evil Dog Gate" to Nanshi Cliff, which must be very dangerous. If you want to protect yourself, of course Tang Zilan can ignore it, after all, the tide is rising, and the opportunity to set sail should not be missed, and you can't let everyone take risks for the sake of one sect.
