"Eh, wait, auntie, dragons can swim themselves, right? Why do you want to make a shrimp as a mount? I asked, puzzled.

"You have to ask Su'er this question, she should know better than me." Yang Liu smiled at Li Xu'er.

"How do I know?" Li Xu'er smiled bitterly.

"Aren't you a demon?" I said, "In the past, you were a demon, and now although you are the yin commander of the underworld, in essence, you are still a demon, a demon who has been pardoned by the king of Hades and can freely enter and exit the two realms, right?" ”

Li Xu'er was slightly surprised: "How do you know so clearly?" ”

I smiled but didn't answer, pretending to be mysterious, but it was actually Yang Liu who told me.

"You're wrong, though." Yang Liu said.

"Which point?" I asked.

"Lord Li is not just free to enter and exit the Second Realm, but the Third Realm." Yang Liu corrected.

“…… The Three Realms? What do you mean? I frowned.

"The three worlds of people, ghosts, and demons, stupid!" Willow poked me in the head.

I thought about it: "The ghost clan is in the underworld, I've figured this out, but aren't the human race and the demon clan both in the yang realm?" ”

I've always known it this way.

"No," Li Xu'er said, "our demon clan has its own world, humans call it the demon world, and we call ourselves the Peach Blossom Spring." ”

"Peach Blossom Spring, it's quite literary," I laughed, "but—"

"Don't talk about this yet," Yang Liu interrupted me, "The dragon demon will return to Tianchi in half an hour, so we have to hide first." ”

I turned my head and pointed to the stone formation: "How about hiding there?" Can dragons go ashore? ”

"No, there are too many traces of our activities here, and they will be discovered by the dragon demon, so we have to change positions," Yang Liu got up and looked around, "Go there, if I'm not mistaken, there's a water gorge over there, and at the other end of the water gorge, there is a small hot spring land, as long as we hide there, unless we look down from the sky, it will be difficult for the dragon demon to find us, Xu'er, can you still swim?" ”

"Yes." Li Xuer said.

"Without further ado, let's go, Xiaoyang, bring all your things."

Yang Liu's leather box was thrown on the side of the shrimp corpse, I had to put her magic weapons into the backpack, and Li Xu'er's clothes and cigarettes were packed in, after finishing these, I looked back, Li Xu'er had untied the bandage, turned into a koi, and waited on the water with Yang Liu, I thought about it, picked up the half of the shrimp whiskers, carried it on my shoulder, climbed on the back of the koi, and held Yang Liu from behind.

"Why are you bringing this?" Yang Liu asked puzzled.

"Eat, I've never eaten such a big pipi shrimp - by the way, can I eat it?" I asked, I don't know if I will have diarrhea after eating the corpse of the demon.

"You can eat it, but with such a big shrimp, the meat will be very firewood...... Yang Liu expressed his doubts.

"If you can eat it, taste it!" I laughed and said that when I dug the shrimp meat by hand before, it felt quite fluffy and looked delicious.

Under the guidance of the willows, the koi fish swam south, bypassing a mountain peak standing at the water's edge, in front of which was a small harbor, surrounded by erected stones, there was no road, the koi was confused, and the swimming speed slowed down.

"Keep going," Yang Liu commanded the koi fish, swimming straight towards a cliff, and when he reached him, Yang Liu said again, "this is it, there is a hole about two meters deep underwater, Xu'er, you can almost get into it." ”

The koi fish pressed down on the fish's head and dived into the water, and I quickly clamped my legs and hugged the willow so as not to float up.

Entering the water and moving forward, sure enough, on the cliff wall under the water, there is a round hole with a diameter of about two meters, very round, as if it was dug out artificially, the koi fish pass through the water hole, float out of the water, and a small harbor appears in front of you, or rather, it is a small pool, it is also very round, the diameter is about 30 meters, around the pool, there are grass, woods, stone henges, in the woods, there is actually a dilapidated small house, the kind made of stone.

"Don't have a hole," I exclaimed, "who built this house?" ”

"Let's go ashore first." Yangliu Road.

The koi fish came ashore and transformed into a human, and I helped her re-tie the bandage on her breasts, and the three of them went to the woods, and recently, someone should have been there, and there were Coke bottles and Oreo wrappers in the small house, as well as discarded heart-to-heart paper towels.

Yang Liu said just now, this place is for Tianchi, the location is secret, but from the sky overlook, it is still easy to find, although Changbai Mountain is high, but when the weather is fine, it is difficult to help helicopters, scenic spots or military staff, here to investigate the scene, it is not strange.

"There is a small hot spring in the back, the water temperature is over 80 degrees, you can try boiled shrimp." Yang Liu pointed to the back of the small house, I went around, sure enough, there was a hot spring mouth on the ground, which was made into a well shape with stones, and the water was steaming and gushing out of the hot spring, I tried it with my hands, and the temperature was very hot, close to boiling water.

The small stone room has a back window that allows you to see the hot spring entrance directly, and I sat on a small stone bench and cooked shrimp meat in the hot spring while listening to Yang Liu tell the story of this strange place.

The legend of the Tianchi water monster, since ancient times, after the 918 incident, Japan occupied the three eastern provinces, established the puppet Manchukuo, and set up the late Qing Emperor Puyi as a puppet, Emperor Puyi was unwilling to be subject to the Japanese, but he was helpless.

One day, a Manchu minister named Xiao Tianzuo made a statement to Pu Yi, hoping that the emperor would sponsor him to go to Changbai Mountain to investigate, because Changbai Mountain was the leading position of the Manchu dragon vein, and it was rumored that there was a secret that determined the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.

Pu Yi said: Pull it down, my Qing Dynasty is dead, what's the use of you still checking it?

Xiao Tianzuo said: Your Majesty, this is a bad word, as long as you are here, our Qing Dynasty will not die; As long as we discover the secret of the dragon vein, maybe we can reverse the fortunes of the country and make a comeback!

Pu Yi believed it to be true, secretly canonized Xiao Tianzuo as the minister of the Qin Mission, and funded him with a thousand taels of gold, and ordered Xiao Tianzuo to go to Tianchi in Changbai Mountain to find the dragon vein.

"Guess what happened?" Yang Liu was lying on the back windowsill of the small stone house and asked me.

"Take the money and run away, a thousand taels of gold, it shouldn't be a small amount." I say.

"That's you!" Yang Liu pursed his lips and continued, "Xiao Tianzuo used this money to recruit a group of righteous warriors from the rivers and lakes, some who can fight, some who are familiar with water, some Taoist priests who can spell, and some miscellaneous servants, of course, there must be no shaman master in the team, because it is rumored that Nurhachi signed a contract with the demon clan back then, and asked the demon clan to help Manchuria guard the dragon vein at the cost of human sacrifice, so you have to bring the shaman master who can subdue demons to prevent accidents-Xu'er, do you know about this? ”

Li Xu'er shook her head: "From birth to demonization, I have been in Dongting Lake and have never been to the Northeast. ”

"I've eaten Dongting Lake carp, it's super tender and delicious!" I licked my lips and tasted back, "When I was in college for an internship, I went to the Second People's Hospital of Yueyang, Hunan, next to your Dongting Lake. ”

Li Xu'er frowned and stared at me: "You're so special!" ”

"Uh...... I'm sorry. I realized that it was inappropriate to say this to her, and smiled apologetically, I just smelled the shrimp and was hungry, but Li Xu'er was still staring at me, could it be that the carp I ate was her relative?

"Is this stone house built by Xiao Tianzuo?" I wittily changed the subject and asked Willow.

"That's right," Yang Liu continued, "At that time, there was no Changbai Mountain Scenic Area, and there was no way up the mountain, Xiao Tianzuo and his party, with great effort, finally climbed to the top of Changbai Mountain, it coincided with winter, the temperature on the top of the mountain, minus thirty or forty degrees, only one night, two miscellaneous servants froze to death, there was a Taoist priest in the team, good at feng shui, he found this haven through precise calculations, it was cold winter outside, this place because of the hot springs, full of spring. ”

Listening to Yang Liu say this, I deliberately felt it, and sure enough, this harbor has its own microclimate system, the temperature is about 20 degrees above zero, very comfortable, I am wearing wet clothes, I don't feel cold.

"That stone cave under the water, they dug it too?" I asked again.

"No, the stone cave has existed since ancient times," Yang Liu pointed to the edge of the crater, "They came in from the mountain, and later found that the water inside was connected to the water of the Tianchi outside. ”

"Such a good place, why shouldn't the dragon demon be his own cave house?" I asked again.

"The water is too shallow and too small for the dragons." Li Xu'er's tone was calm, as if she was no longer angry with me.

"Is the dragon big?" I asked.

"I haven't seen this Tianchi, I don't know the size," Li Xu'er said, "but there is a dragon in the Yangtze River that is my good friend, she is very big, and this pool can't be discontinued." ”

I nodded, jokingly, "If you have a chance, you have to introduce me, I don't have a dragon friend yet." ”

Li Xu'er smiled: "Okay, she is very beautiful, she should be the type you like." ”

"Prettier than you?"

Li Xu'er thought for a while, and looked down at her chest: "It should be more beautiful than me." ”

"Prettier than you! Oh! Oh my God, did the fairy come down to earth? I exaggerated.

"Don't be poor," Yang Liu glanced at me, "Which girl around you is not beautiful, the beauties of the three ethnic groups are all gathered, isn't it enough for you to see?" ”

"Uh, that's enough, that's enough," I sneered, "Auntie, you go on." ”

Yang Liu pouted: "This is the origin of the stone house, it's over." ”

"That's it?" I was surprised, "What about the secret of the dragon vein?" Did they find it? ”

"I didn't find it, on the fourth day of their stay in Tianchi, they were attacked by a mysterious person, and more than half of the team was killed or wounded, Xiao Tianzuo successfully escaped from Changbai Mountain under the protection of a young shaman master, and since then, the two have hidden from the people, and there is no news."

"Since there is no news, Liu'er, how do you know?" Li Xu'er asked puzzled, they called each other Xu'er and Liu'er, and their relationship was not bad.

"Hehe, because I know Xiao Tianzuo's descendants." Yang Liu smirked.

"Who?" I asked.

"It's you, Chen Yang."

“…… Don't be funny, my surname is Chen, and my surname is Xiao. I waved my hand.

"Who said that descendants have to have the surname of their ancestors, isn't the mother's family a descendant? You are a typical patriarchal thought," Yang Liu said dissatisfied, "Do you remember what your mother's surname is?" ”

“…… The surname is Yang Bei. I frowned, of course I remembered.

"Where's your grandmother?" Yang Liu asked again.

"Grandma's surname is ......" I thought about it, I have been called grandma since I was a child, and I thought of her in my mind, and the title is also grandma, and I really didn't care about her old man's surname, but I remember that grandma's tombstone has her name on it, and the cemetery is in the mountain behind my house, every time I celebrate the New Year, I will go to worship my aunt and millet, grandma's name, called Xiao Guifen-

"The surname is Xiao! Is it really Xiao Tianzuo's descendant?! I exclaimed.

Yang Liu smiled slightly: "Your grandmother is Xiao Tianzuo's youngest daughter, Xiao Tianzuo is your grandfather, back then, Xiao Tianzuo married his youngest daughter to the shaman in gratitude for the life-saving grace of the young shaman, that is, your grandfather, Yang Musen!" ”

Looking at Yang Liu's mysterious eyes, I vaguely felt that the reason why she brought me to Tianchi was not just as simple as catching the dragon demon, it seemed that I was being led by her to an unknown realm...... Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
