Chapter 35: The Land of the Hidden Dragon
Qin Tian and the others walked for a long time, and the surrounding canyon was no longer as steep and steep as before, but there were more trees and flowing water, which made them feel a little comfortable.
"Old madman, I heard that there is an old Longtan Waterfall here, why don't we go and see it?" Qin Tian tilted his head sideways and asked the crazy old man, he was a little concerned about this place, and he heard that he could see the alluvial Taihang annual rings that had been accumulated for thousands of years.
Maybe there are some clues about the cave here, and you can't feel the breath of those stalkers, so it's good to take this opportunity to learn more.
The crazy old man nodded casually, he was not very familiar with this place, since Qin Tian had a plan in mind, it would be okay to take a look.
Qin Tian and the others followed the map for about ten minutes, and finally saw the destination Laolongtan Waterfall.
The waterfall drop of more than 30 meters is like a white practice flying out from the mountainside, falling into the pool, turning into wisps of mist, looking from a distance like an old dragon shrouded in thick fairy fog into the river.
Such a spectacular scene shocked Qin Tian and the others from the bottom of their hearts, not only the waterfall of thousands of troops, but even this Qingtan that saw through to the end could only say one word of admiration.
"The mountain is not high, but the name of the immortal. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. The crazy old man looked at the waterfall pouring down and suddenly burst out a sentence of Chinese in crepe, causing Qin Tian to look at him suspiciously.
"This place is not ordinary, the fairy aura is strong, it is impossible to say that there is nothing special, maybe there are dragons living under this pool." The mad old man fiddled with his tortoise shell again, trying to find out what was so strange about it.
"Old madman, it's impossible, this pool of water can be seen at a glance, if there is anything unusual, it must have been discovered a long time ago." Qin Tian felt that the crazy old man was thinking that the baby was crazy, no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary pool of water.
The crazy old man looked at the faint cyan lines on the tortoise shell, and smiled at Qin Tian a little evilly, seeing that Qin Tian felt a little furious in his heart.
"What are you going to do, old madman?" As he spoke, Qin Tian took half a step back, and he faintly felt that the old madman was thinking about something not very good.
"Boy, I'll talk to you, why don't you go down and see how it goes, I'm not sure I can count it here." The crazy old man looked at Qin Tian with a wicked smile, as if he was determined to let Qin Tian go to the bottom of the pool to have a look.
"Huh? Why should I go down? I don't want to be grinning. Qin Tian reacted immediately, this bad old man is very bad, not to mention how deep this pool is, why did he go down to find treasures that may not exist at all.
"Maybe there are some good things down here, maybe they won't be much worse than the baby we're going to find this time, if you want to get it, you'll earn it." The crazy old man was still chattering and persuading Qin Tian.
Qin Tian was speechless by the crazy old man, isn't he just a baby? Is it necessary to pay so much attention? Besides, if there really is a treasure under this pool, maybe there will be fierce beasts? When the time comes, don't lose your life.
"Let's go, don't think about it, I'm not interested in even if there are dragon balls in this water, and besides, don't you know the purpose of our trip?" Qin Tian didn't want to continue to talk about this topic with the crazy old man, so he took a step towards the vicinity of the old dragon pond to find clues.
The crazy old man waved his hand helplessly when he saw that Qin Tian insisted on refusing to dive, so let this baby at the bottom of the pool lie there quietly.
Qin Tian approached the edge of the pool, a cool breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, if it wasn't for the purpose of this trip to find clues about his grandfather's disappearance, maybe he really wanted to spend more time here.
Just as Qin Tian was about to take a closer look at the waterhole, a carp with a little red gold tail jumped out of the water in front of him, startling Qin Tian who came closer to see it.
"This fish...... It doesn't look like a normal carp. The sharp-eyed Qin Tian noticed the abnormality on the carp's tail at a glance, the carp's tail was generally red, but this red gold color had an extra bit of abnormality.
Could it be that there is really something weird at the bottom of the pool? But I did see that I didn't find anything abnormal at the bottom, could it be that the secret was under the bottom of the pool?
At this time, the old madman was standing by another pond not far from Qin Tian, and he also found something interesting, a tattered stone tablet that was almost covered with moss and weeds.
It may be that the history is too long, and the words once engraved on the stone tablet have faded, and no matter how the crazy old man uses his methods, he can't show two or three words, and they are all ancient words, and he can't understand them.
"Boy, come here, there's something here." The crazy old man waved his hand at Qin Tian and shouted, Qin Tian still knows a lot about these things, maybe he can decipher the meaning of the words on it.
Hearing this, Qin Tian ran to the crazy old man, squatted down and carefully observed the three or two ancient characters that appeared on the stone tablet, and brainstormed to find similar words while rubbing the lines on them.
"This ...... It seems to be a 'hidden dragon'. Qin Tian thought for a while and said slowly.
"Hidden Dragon? What does that mean? Could it be that there really was a dragon here? The crazy old man suddenly became excited, the dragon is a fierce beast that exists in ancient mythology, and it is rumored that it is full of treasures, and maybe it can take one or two treasures along the way.
"It shouldn't be, several emperors have died here in history, and this place was once rumored to be called the land of trapped dragons, maybe this hidden dragon has something to do with it." Qin Tian thought of the places where the emperors of the past dynasties were buried when he was in college, and he also talked about it here.
"Old madman, do the math, what is the terrain here, quick!" Qin Tian seemed to suddenly think of something terrifying, and the hairs on his body rose up, and he shouted at the crazy old man.
The crazy old man was frightened by Qin Tian's sudden shout, but he immediately reacted and took out the gossip compass to calculate the topography of this place.
Suddenly, the gossip compass trembled, and the color of earth yellow and dark blue slowly appeared on it, and the crazy old man looked at Qin Tian with a solemn face, he had just calculated not only the terrain, but also their situation.
"This place is the sand under the reverse dragon to collect the qi, the dragon is still dark, it belongs to the Kan hexagram, the yang is trapped in the yin, there are many dangers and difficulties, natural dangers, and earth risks." After that, the crazy old man's face became very ugly, and this calculation was more detailed than the previous one, so he also deduced the danger.
Although Qin Tian sounded a little confused, he probably heard the danger in it, and sure enough, as he expected, this "hidden dragon" was indeed a sign of danger, and now they completely entered a dead end.
"Old madman, do you have a way to break through this danger?"
The crazy old man stared at the compass for a long time, and then said, "Yes, but you have to do me a favor." ”
