Chapter 51: The Ominous Balad
Helong City, located in the center of Yanji in Changbai Mountain, this place is very close to Changbai Mountain, after a long time of bumps, Qin Cang and Daring decided to get off here, because, starting from here, there are many forest farms and other places, if you drive all the way along the highway, you will invisibly bypass a lot of roads, so Qin Cang decided to get off the car, directly from the wasteland next to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The driver just followed the boss's order to send the two over, since Qin Cang said so, the driver naturally would not have any objections. So, just like that, the two once again embarked on the road to the west. According to the tutorial, if you don't delay too much time on the road, you should be able to reach the vicinity of Changbai Mountain in a few days. Then, after learning from the previous experience last time, Qin Cang did not rush to leave, but chose to stay in Helong City for a night, think about it, and the emergencies that may be encountered, and take emergency measures in advance.
The two found a motel that was not too simple to live in, because this is the edge of Helong City, so it is not too prosperous, and the population is relatively sparse, but after checking in, when I was going to go out to eat something, several students who had just finished school walked from the side, and they walked in an orderly row, chattering in unison.
"The roots of the sky rise, the clouds and flowers fall, the water is leisurely, the years are reflected, the grass is full of butterflies dancing, and the blue waves ripple and the lake is blue..."
It's obviously just a ballad, but it's a little strange, what school would teach students such a ballad? However, Qin Cang didn't care too much, after all, it had nothing to do with him. Just when the two of them passed by a turning intersection, the chatting words of several women beside him fell into Qin Cang's ears, which made him start to pay attention.
"These children read these words every day, and they can't remember the things they remember in school, but the things in Changbai Mountain are absorbed quite quickly."
"Yes, yes, I don't know what the teacher thinks, if you don't teach knowledge well, you let the children learn these things, the Fountain of Youth, it's just a legend, where can it be taken seriously."
Changbai Mountain is a word of great significance to Qin Cang, and now from the mouths of these women, it seems to have another meaning, and the ballad that the students said just now is about the Fountain of Youth, but I have never heard of the legend of the Fountain of Youth. After thinking about it for a while, Qin Cang decided that since he was going to Changbai Mountain, he should learn more about it, some things that existed there were better, so he told Daring to wait in place, and what about himself, he walked to the side of the three women and asked politely.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, can you take the liberty of asking, what is the Changbai Mountain Fountain you just talked about? And I heard the song that the children read and I didn't really understand."
The three women usually get together after tea and dinner, and the east and west families are talking about their wives, and they didn't expect that someone would suddenly interject and ask, but looking at Qin Cang's appearance, he didn't seem to be a bad person, and he didn't have malicious intent, so one of the older ones spoke.
"You're an out-of-towner, aren't you? It's really strange, we haven't seen outsiders here for a long time, about the Fountain of Youth, it's just a legend that can't catch the shadow, and the ballad you heard, I don't know who made it up, is to describe the Fountain of Youth, but, I heard, this ballad is ominous, and if you read it often, something bad will happen...".
However, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by someone next to her.
"Hey, what are you talking about so much, outsiders, I'll tell you, in short, the fountain of immortality doesn't exist, children just say a few words to play, don't take it seriously, we still have things, so let's go first."
With that, she dragged the other two women away. This made Qin Cang even more puzzled, obviously the previous people still had something to say, what unknown past was hidden in that ballad.
"Qin Cang, what are you asking about that ballad? Maybe they're right, it's just a kid playing around, don't pay too much attention to it."
"Maybe".
Qin Cang didn't continue, because he knew very well that with his bold personality, no matter how much he explained it to him, he might not be able to understand the connection, you know, their only destination was Changbai Mountain, if they couldn't learn more about it, I was afraid that there would be unpredictable dangers at that time. The experience of catching ginseng from childhood to adulthood made Qin Cang realize that there are no unreasonable coincidences in the world, and besides, there must be some secret in the Fountain of Youth. When the woman was talking to herself, she was suddenly stopped by another person, who had obviously not been able to tell her about the ballad, and why should she teach it to the children if she was unknown?
Qin Cang had been thinking about these things all the time, and he didn't even eat much, and he thought it was unpalatable, so he didn't say anything. However, after eating, Qin Cang let Daring go back to the motel to rest alone, while he himself continued to find a way to investigate the mystery of the Fountain of Immortality and the ballad. There has always been an idea in my heart, that is, this trip will definitely be extremely dangerous, if it is just a person before, I am not afraid to act, at least this lame psychic ability can allow me to avoid zero contact with ghosts, and from my father I have also absorbed a lot of taboos about the deep mountains and old forests, which are not a problem to save my life, but what about the boldness next to me? Just a stormy night almost made him unable to get up, if he arrived in Changbai Mountain, maybe something would happen, so knowing oneself and knowing the other can win all battles, be cautious, it's still right.
Qin Cang is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, at least he knows that if you want to get the news, it is not okay to ask people randomly, although it is not like the city center singing every night, but there are still many people living a nightlife, they will gather in places like bars, and at the bartender, as long as you are willing to give more consumption, there is no news that cannot be asked. Moreover, the worst step is to have the fat boss, judging from his connections, it should be effortless to figure out these things, but Qin Cang will not find him unless he has to.
So after walking for a long time, he finally found a bar that didn't look small, Qin Cang took a deep breath and walked in, this is the first time he has entered this kind of place, it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort, especially this is a public place, as soon as he enters the door, there is a choking smell of smoke, Qin Cang was choked and coughed a few times, but fortunately, there are more people, and he will not notice him as a stranger.
