Chapter 221: Blue Sky and White Water
Fei Lengcui Island, which reveals its true appearance, is not large in area, but it is still more than enough to carry two or three thousand people from all directions, and it does not seem too crowded.
Everyone had the same goal and they all rushed towards the direction of the White Tower.
After the dozens of people who arrived first entered, the scene began to become a little chaotic. Some sects with large numbers left people to stop the people who arrived later. Many people who watched the fun stopped on the periphery, and many people who were late and pretentious started fighting with the people who stopped.
Wei Zhanmei and Ji Yu did not rush in, but stood on a rock looking for Ji Zhuangzhuang and Ye Zhezhe. However, there were many people and they could not find it immediately. Instead, they saw Luo Shuangzhi and his daughter.
The white tower in front of me is about twenty feet high, with a brick and stone structure. Although it is soaked in water for a long time, the whole body is still white.
The foundation of the tower is a square high platform built with bricks and stones. Above the foundation is a three-story tower with a multi-cornered corner, a guard wall at the bottom, and the second and third floors are Sumeru mounts. Each floor is symmetrically symmetrically retracts two folding corners in the left and right sides, and many facades are stacked.
The waist of the Sumeru mount is set off by the corner pillars on both sides and the upper and lower owl beams, making the shape of the entire tower beautiful and full of layered changes.
The tower body is like a gourd, with a conical long neck on the upper half. The Thirteenth Section represents the "Thirteen Days". The top patterned copper plate and eight vertical copper tower brakes are divided into four parts: brake seat, phase wheel, treasure cover and brake top.
There are two doors on the base of the tower, and there are no room inside.
After a while of noisyness, a few people rushed in, and the rest found a seat between a distance, waiting enthusiastically to watch the fun.
As long as the strange treasure appears, the super masters and the large sects will inevitably fight each other. Not only are the people waiting to participate in the robbery and pick up the bargain, most of them are actually watching the show.
Moreover, it is a big show. No matter who can dominate the treasure, it will not be easy to get rid of it. The process will inevitably be full of twists and turns. For a long time, people who experience it will regard it as a rare topic of conversation that can be boasted about.
However, after waiting for a long time, the fierce fighting sounds in Baita did not appear in anticipation, but instead were quiet and no one came out.
When everyone couldn't help but talk, finally some people who entered started to come out one after another, and everyone's face looked disappointed and unkind.
Someone asked loudly, and after talking, a strong old man in purple robe surrounded by many people said aloud:
"All martial arts fellows, please be quiet. I am Tao Ranting, the owner of Jinghong Villa, so that everyone can learn about it. After repeated confirmation, the white tower of Feilengcui Island is empty, and there is no "Big Nervous" or the Lancet Nervous Knife. We are all teased."
The listener was in an uproar, and someone continued to ask what was going on.
It turned out that before the people entering found the treasure, they kept their restraint and did not take action, but instead searched in dispersed ways.
Among the heroes, there were many experts who were familiar with building construction and secret passages who were specially brought to him. After digging three feet of the ground and inspecting it three times, they also found several walls, partitions and secret passages in the tower, the problem was that there were only some exquisite Buddhist statues and magical instruments inside, but there was no shadow of scriptures or treasure swords.
Everyone looked at each other in front of each other. The joke was so big that thousands of people gathered here through hardships. It turned out to be a fake news to make you play with. Someone cursed at the moment.
Everyone does not doubt that Tao Ranting's words are false, because there will definitely be no one inside who colludes with others to deceive everyone in front of everyone. Those who are interested are already discussing the problem of something tricky in this matter.
The picture is revealed, and the answer is soon uninvited!
A man standing on a high place suppressed all the discussion: "Look, what is that? There is a boat on the lake!"
After hearing this, everyone turned around and watched, but saw seven or eight large ships and twenty or thirty small boats appearing in sight on the lake in the distance, and were quickly sailing towards Feilencui Island.
The sharp-eyed man shouted again: "The blue sky and white water are covered with yellow ground, and there are black mountains and flying dragons in it. No, that is the Qingchuan Navy's beautiful flying dragon flag! We are trapped!"
At this time, don’t think about it carefully, no matter how stupid a person is, he knows what’s going on.
The island suddenly became a mess.
Hiding from the river bay in Waijiang River, the Qingchuan Navy's warship was the one that drove in from the mouth of Xihai Lake.
Although it was not a giant ship that could drive on the ocean, or a main medium-sized tower ship that rushed around the river, dozens of large oars on both sides flew up and down neatly, which was very beautiful and extremely fast. While speaking, they threw away the small clutch accompanying them and surrounded the island in several directions.
There was no rush to land, no slogan to persuade the surrender, and the flag was waving. All the portholes on one side of the building were opened. Several archers were waiting in line at each place. With a command, thousands of arrows were fired at once, and arrows covered the sky and sun.
Gunpowder has already existed in this era, but artillery has not yet appeared, and long-range attacks can only rely on strong bows and hard crossbows.
The key is that there are no trees and shrubs on Feilencui Island, and there are bare rocks everywhere, with very few places to hide, and the rocks are covered with slippery moss and algae, which greatly affects the speed of movement.
In this case, the heroes in the world are simply thousands of living targets.
Fortunately, everyone has martial arts and weapons in their hands. Although the arrows are dense and the feet are slippery, it is still no problem to dial the eagle feathers. Therefore, in the first round of volleys, the number of casualties was not large.
After a rain of arrows, the tower ship turned around and launched a second round of intensive attacks like locusts from the other side.
Everyone ran away like headless flies, and the number of casualties was even worse than the first round of shooting.
Then, the heroes fell into complete panic and even despair.
One of the reasons is that I found out that this was a trap, and I felt a ridiculous and terrified after being deceived into dice.
The second reason is that there are arrows dipped in tincture oil shooting at the fishing boats on the shore. All the fishing boats were burned down and the retreat was cut off. Everyone could only be trapped on the isolated island, unlike on land where they could still rush out.
The third reason is Qingchuan’s obvious intention to eliminate and kill.
A few people raised their hands to the shore after two rounds of bows and arrows attacked, but they were still shot by arrows. Some people risked their lives to jump into the lake to swim and escape, but were also shot by the officials on the small clutch that were caught up.
After two rounds of arrow attacks, the Qingchuan Navy unexpectedly stopped attacking, but it was more like a procrastination and attacking tactic.
First, the sky is getting darker at this time, but the clouds are closed and the rain is clear. The full moon is hanging high in the sky, and the moon is bright, and the vision is still good. If you wait until the moon is dark, the effect of fifteen is better.
Secondly, even if Qingchuan only surrounds but does not attack, most people are still alive, but everyone lacks food and drinks, and there is no cover. They are sunny during the day and are always scared and afraid of flying arrows day and night, and they dare not rest. They will run out of energy in two or three days and will collapse without fighting.
Third, the feeling that the turtle in the jar can only sit and wait for death is more and more desperate the longer it drags. When people are really facing a desperate situation, they can temporarily put life and death out of the way, but so what? Many people are landslides. They can kill one on the flat ground and earn one with one pair, but there is no possibility of fighting on the island.
The endless shouts and curses were gone, and a sense of solemn despair filled with despair.
Wei Zhanmei expected that this situation would occur, so he found a large rock with a crack in advance and stopped. There were no eight or nine places on the entire island.
When the rain of arrows comes from all directions, there are rocks to block them, and there are not many arrows that can shoot in, and it is easy to block them. With the skills of the two, there are many people fighting for this hiding place where more than ten people can hide, he and Ji Yu have always been safe.
He thought that Ji Zhuangzhuang and Ye Jingzhe would not be a problem, but he was as anxious as everyone else and had no way to escape.
The reason why there is no despair is that when the government army landed on the island to wipe out the remnants, as Princess Ji Yu, he could naturally protect several people from their safety.
The Qingchuan army suspended its attack, but the island was not quiet. Eighty or nine relatively hidden hiding places were occupied by experts, but there were always people who were willing to take risks and compete for temporary stability.
After a while, the sound of fighting gradually became sparse.
Wei Zhanmei was closing her eyes to rest, and suddenly heard someone crying in the distance: "I said secretly! There is..." The sound suddenly stopped, as if someone had twisted his neck.
The exclamation was not very loud, and no one could hear it clearly. Thanks to Wei Zhanmei's recent internal skills, he was able to make every word clear.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and Ji Yu was also looking at him: "Don't it seem like there is a fake, go and see?"
It was better to change than to wait for no choice but to wait. Wei Zhanmei nodded, and the two of them broke out into the rock cracks under the puzzled eyes of the people around them and headed straight for the place where they made a sound.
It turned out that a craftsman who was proficient in the secret techniques of the mechanism was protected by his companions. After being frightened, he was bored at the innermost part of the rock crack. So he habitually observed the environment around him, and inadvertently noticed the external disguise of the mechanism, cracked and opened the entrance to an artificial secret passage.
This person was surprised and after notifying his companion, he went in to detect the truth and reality. He didn't want to be seen by others and called out. Although his companion immediately started to silence his mouth, some people from nearby were still attracted.
The news flew away without feet, and the crowd was in high spirits. When Wei Zhanmei arrived, there were already crowds of people in front of him, and swords and shadows were all thinking about robbing the way and entering the secret passage.
It doesn't matter whether it is an escape or a dead end in the secret passage. It is also the target of the Qingchuan Army's arrows on the island sooner or later. It is also good to go in and hide at any time when you can get in.
While Wei Zhanmei was still hesitating whether to kill in, Ji Zhuangzhuang and Ye Jingzhe, who were rushing side by side in the chaotic crowd in front of him.
Then there is nothing to say. Ji Yu used Youxin Taixuan Sword to open the way in front, Wei Zhanmei's white sword to protect him from both sides, and the two of them killed melons and vegetables like chopping melons and vegetables.
Blood light burst out, and people kept screaming and falling down.
