Chapter 220 Mine Hunt (2)
"Devil's waters? Oh my God, what a domineering name! ”
Pu Zixuan was frightened and excited, and asked, "How can there be such a place in the world?" What kind of mysterious legends are there in this Poyang Lake? Tell us more about it. ”
The shopkeeper was already in high spirits, and responded: "Hehe, this Poyang Lake, there is another name, called Peng Li Lake, according to legend, when Dayu controlled the water, he sent a person named Peng Li to build this lake, in order to introduce the flood and resolve the flood, so it was named." ”
"Wow, Dayu controls the water?" Pu Zixuan suddenly felt a strong prehistoric atmosphere, and exclaimed to Chen Shuqing, "Xiao Jiu, this pattern is too big!" ”
Zhu Yuanliang also exclaimed: "Yes, could it be that Dayu's soul is still on Poyang Lake?" ”
Sun Xiaoshu's eyes also lit up: "Yes, two elder brothers, it must be like this!" ”
"Three idiots!" Chen Shuqing was angry and funny, and scolded, "Dayu controls the water, and it is the Yellow River that governs it, but the water source of Poyang Lake is the water of the Yangtze River. ”
Pu Zixuan suddenly blushed and said, "What if Dayu treats the water twice?" Otherwise, what's going on with this Pengli Lake? ”
Chen Shuqing replied with a roll of Pu Zixuan's eyes and explained: "Poyang Lake was called Peng Lihu in ancient times, but it was just a Zhang Guan Li Dai, Peng Li originally meant to refer to Chaohu Lake, but Ban Gu quoted it incorrectly when he wrote the "Book of Han", and later generations did not change it, so he called it wrong. So I think the myth and legend that the store said is really just a legend, not to mention that after four or five thousand years, even if there is any divine power on the lake, it has already faded cleanly! ”
Pu Zixuan knew that the "divine power" Chen Shuqing was referring to was the power of purification, and it was inconvenient to say it clearly, and at the same time he was deeply ashamed of his ignorance, so he pretended to laugh and said: "Xiao Jiu still knows a lot, how can it be like a few of us who don't learn and don't know how to do it." ”
Chen Shuqing smiled bitterly, and asked the shopkeeper again: "Shopkeeper, in addition to this Dayu water control, tell us some other information." ”
The shopkeeper is just a businessman, with little knowledge, seeing that Chen Shuqing is so knowledgeable, he doesn't dare to tell myths anymore so as not to make jokes, so he said truthfully: "Why are the devil's waters so weird, the world has different opinions, but none of the views are convincing, but, whether you believe it or not, the facts are there, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, regardless of his big ships and small boats, I don't know how many ships have sunk there, and all the wrecked ships have not been found!" Just last month, two young men, a man and a woman, did not listen to the dissuasion, drove a wooden boat to climb Longtou Mountain, and then disappeared in a burst of lightning, thunder and storms. Why, do you still insist on going there to see the thunder and lightning? ”
"Yes, of course!" For Pu Zixuan, thunder and lightning are not only terrible, but also symbolize auspiciousness, and as for the legend of the shipwreck, it is nothing more than the demon in the lake, he has encountered a water monster as early as the Dadu River in Sichuan, and now he does not feel weak even in the face of the red yaksha, not to mention the little water demon, so he said, "But, where are we going to find a boat?" Preferably the kind of iron ship that is a little stronger. ”
The shopkeeper said: "The old man has been running an inn for many years, and he has met countless tourists, and he knows some ship merchants, such as the wharf in Luogushan. It's just that no one dares to go to the devil's waters, you have rented a boat, and you can only go there on your own. ”
Ben didn't want to have innocent people accompany him on the adventure, and when Pu Zixuan nodded yes, the store left, and when he left, he didn't forget to shake his head and said to himself: "Hehe, there are a lot of quirks, there are a lot of quirks, there are a lot of quirks......"
When the store went out, Pu Zixuan stopped Chen Shuqing and asked, "Xiao Jiu,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What do you think about this? ”
Chen Shuqing was stunned: "What do you think?" ”
Pu Zixuan said: "It's all kinds of strange phenomena in the devil's waters, such as thunder and lightning, storms or something?" If it's not a monster of destruction, wouldn't it be a curse or something? ”
Sun Xiaoshu also said: "Yes, when Brother Pu said this, this devil's water area is really like the sandstorm and thunder and lightning in the Broken Intestine Valley in Guangxi, there must be some unjust souls!" ”
Chen Shuqing said with a smile: "It's okay if Xiao Shu doesn't understand, as for Xiao Qi, don't look at you talking about Western science, but when it comes to the history of your country, you are like an illiterate." That Poyang Lake, is a famous battlefield, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang in order to compete for the world, led the Ming army and the Han army a total of 850,000 people to fight a decisive battle, both sides suffered countless casualties, and the battlefield of the decisive battle is this Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, you say, can there be no unjust soul? ”
Zhu Yuanliang couldn't help but justify himself: "Hey, this time, I'm different from them, I just happen to know this history." Peasant uprisings, my favorite. ”
Pu Zixuan was ashamed and said: "Hehe, I am still an apprentice of Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants, I don't even know this, ashamed, ashamed!" Anyway, once the mystery is solved, it won't feel even more terrifying, let's go meet those dead souls tonight. ”
Sun Xiaoshu said happily: "No problem, because of my father's ability, I have dealt with the revenant soul many times, and I am not afraid of this kind of thing." ”
Zhu Yuanliang smiled and said, "Then, I wish the three of you good luck tonight, I will wait for the triumphant return of the three in the inn!" ”
Pu Zixuan was stunned: "Fat dun, what do you mean?" ”
"What do you mean? It's just waiting for your triumphant return. ”
"I mean, why don't you come with us?"
"Me? I'm a mortal, and in the face of those ghosts, do you want me to steam them, or cook them? ”
Pu Zixuan rebuked in a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "Hehe, still 'wish the vanguard', if you don't go, return the cloak that my father gave you!" ”
Zhu Yuanliang smiled: "Cut, it was given to me by Uncle Pu, not by you, why should I pay you back?" ”
Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "That's right, then, I always paid for the room, right?" It's a long way to the Devil's Waters, and you won't be able to return tonight, so please pay for the room yourself, and wait for us to return tomorrow. ”
Zhu Yuanliang didn't have much money, and he relied on Pu Zixuan's economic support all the way, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt a kind of sadness that ate people's mouths, so he had to obediently respond: "How can I watch the three of them go on an adventure, while I am alone in the rear?" I didn't say it, to fight in the devil's waters, I have to rely on me to wish the vanguard to take the lead! ”
Chen Shuqing and Sun Xiaoshu couldn't help laughing.
……
Although Poyang Lake is named after the lake, but its territory is vast, from Yugan County to the north has to travel a hundred miles of waterway to reach Duobao Township, so the four of them had lunch, a little rest, and then under the leadership of the shopkeeper, out of the county seat, walked for an hour, came to the wharf at the foot of Luogu Mountain. The shopkeeper immediately contacted a boat dealer, introduced the two parties to each other, and then headed back.
It is worthy of being a famous lake in the world, and this dock supplier has hundreds of large and small docks, which are arranged on the lake and can be sold or rented. Pu Zixuan chose for half an hour, and finally his eyes fell on a flat-bottomed multi-masted sailing ship imported from England and settled.
This sailing ship also has a resounding name - "Big Coral".
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Set off, the Big Coral sailed north, Chen Shuqing controlled the direction, Pu Zixuan stood on the bow of the ship, the wind and sun were beautiful all around, and flocks of egrets flew by from time to time, excited.
At dusk, the Great Coral sailed into a relatively narrow body of water, and saw a high mountain rising abruptly on the west bank, and a small hill on the east bank, which was magnificent in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Zhu Yuanliang took the lead in sighing: "This mountain here is so beautiful, it is completely different from the ordinary mountains I saw before, it shouldn't have been to Lushan, right?" ”
Pu Zixuan responded: "It's really Lushan, there is a lot of demonic energy on the mountain, isn't it Lushan?" ”
Sun Xiaoshu realized something: "Didn't the store say that Longtou Mountain in Duobao Township is on the other side of Lushan?" Could it be that the mountain on our right is Longtou Mountain? That...... Haven't we sailed into devil's waters? ”
"Huh?" Pu Zixuan tilted his head, and then went to the two sides of the strait to investigate, only to see that on the east bank of the mountain, there was indeed a pagoda towering, and suddenly exclaimed, "Yes, yes, that must be Longtou Mountain, and this place is also the Devil's Water...... But why is it calm and I don't see the shadow of the devil at all? ”
Chen Shuqing said: "There are many mysterious places in the world, but not necessarily when you arrive at a mysterious place, you will definitely encounter mysterious phenomena. Now that everything is normal, let's not waste time, hurry up the mountain and wait for the thunder and lightning! ”
There was no objection from everyone, so Chen Shuqing operated the Big Coral to turn right, arrived at the shallow on the west coast, moored the boat, and the four of them went ashore.
The location of Duobao Township is in the shape of a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides, and when you reach the side of Dingjiang Pagoda on the mountain, the sky is completely dark. As far as the eye can see, the fires of some farmhouses can be seen in the depths of the mountains, and it is not a completely uninhabited place.
"What, pretending to be a ghost, I think it's just an ordinary mountain!" Pu Zixuan didn't see the slightest thunderbolt and storm, he was tired of walking, but he was disappointed and sat on the ground.
Zhu Yuanliang also complained: "It's good now, I've been here for most of the day to come to this place where birds don't, and I don't know when I will wait for thunder and lightning." After saying that, he also sat on the ground, took out a piece of steamed bun and nibbled on it.
Chen Shuqing released a ball of light, bringing light, and comforted: "It's okay, didn't the store say it?" If you can't wait for thunder and lightning for a day or two, his surname is written upside down, and those who dare to say this must be confident. ”
Zhu Yuanliang said disdainfully: "I think, I'm afraid that the old man's surname is really going to be written backwards...... By the way, what is his last name, have you asked? ”
Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "I asked once, it seems that the surname is Shen." ”
All four of them showed a miserable look of being teased.
"That's it, if you come, you will be safe, it's a big deal, just wait a day or two." Pu Zixuan thought of something, and said to Chen Shuqing, "Xiao Jiu, we have to find something to pass the time, can you turn a deck of playing cards for me?" I thought of a way to play and try it together. ”
Chen Shuqing had already learned about this kind of card under Pu Zixuan's introduction before, and said in a daze: "Then you have to help me find fifty-four leaves as a basis, and then explain the various suits and numbers one by one, it will take a lot of time." ”
"It's okay, we were just going to kill time, fat dun, little tree, you all help, let's go collect leaves together!"
The four of them were bored and about to set off in all directions, when suddenly, the climate changed abruptly, and there was a rolling thunder in the sky.
Chen Shuqing exclaimed: "Don't bother, Lei, it's already here!" ”
