Chapter 1: The Legend of Blackwater Pool

Next Chapter

Under the scorching sun,

On the yellow sand,

A thick aura of blood and death enveloped the entire wasteland, and the scorching sun reflected Yu Fei and the few remaining cronies around him into a few long lonely shadows, and what they were facing in front of them were hundreds of wolf cavalry, Yu Fei clenched the dragon soul sword in his hand, knowing that it was impossible to escape death today......

Suddenly, a rapid and piercing bell rang in Yu Fei's ears, it was Luo Bell! Could it be reinforcements? No, this voice is obviously in the ear, what is it? Getting more and more urgent......

Yu Fei raised his head and opened his eyes, but what he saw was a white ceiling. And the alarm clock at the bedside was ringing jubilantly, it turned out that it was just a dream.

It was time to get up and go to work, Yu Fei pressed the alarm clock in annoyance, and reluctantly got up in the entanglement, but found that his whole body ached. It was as if I had just gone through a hellish training session.

After a simple wash, Yu Fei grabbed his computer bag and walked to the door, suddenly he thought of something again, turned around and took out a red and white round jade from under the pillow on the bed and put it around his neck. This jade pendant was given by his father when he went home during the Spring Festival this year, and his father checked the yellow calendar and said that he was killed Tai Sui this year, so let him wear this ancestral jade pendant to ward off evil spirits.

Yu Fei felt that the texture of the jade was not transparent, and it looked like cheap ceramic products sold at roadside stalls. Therefore, after getting this piece of jade, Yu Fei even forgot to take it out of his suitcase. It wasn't until recently that he found out that he did seem to be unlucky this year, his work was not going well, he lost money in stock trading, and he accidentally lost his wallet some time ago, so he remembered this jade pendant that claimed to be able to ward off evil spirits. So he turned it out of the suitcase, also to seek peace of mind.

The red part in the middle of this jade pendant has a rather strange shape, like a dog but not a dog, like a dragon but not a dragon, and my father said that it is the soul of this jade. However, Yu Fei scoffed at this mysterious statement, preferring to believe that it was nothing more than a piece of roasted ceramic.

Finally squeezed into the bus to work, the crowded carriage was filled with the pungent smell emitted by the air conditioner that had not been cleaned all year round, Yu Fei pulled the handrail with his left hand, and rubbed his nose with disgust with his right hand, suddenly, a fresh smell of perfume wafted over, Yu Fei turned his head to look, it was a long-haired beauty who looked quite innocent, and was squeezing along the aisle in the middle of the carriage to the position where he was standing, Yu Fei quickly moved his body to make some space, the beauty stood down beside him, glanced at his chest, and was stunned at first, Then she smiled and turned her head away.

"She's smiling at me, this girl has such a sweet smile." Yu Fei was secretly happy in his heart, but this thought disappeared before he lowered his head. He saw the jade pendant hanging on his chest, and suddenly felt that maybe the beauty was just laughing at the inferior quality of this jade. Thinking of this, Yu Fei's face flushed, and he straightened his collar with a weak heart, and put the jade pendant under the collar, and his heart was inevitably angry with his father.

When he arrived at the office, Yu Fei looked at the worksheet, there are not too many things today, and the leader is not there, so he can leisurely speculate on stocks. The recent market is not good, Yu Fei has lost a lot, so while the market has not yet opened, he hurriedly logged on QQ to find out if there is any inside information, but unfortunately the time is too early, and the stockholders have not yet been online. So he was bored and watched the news, politics, finance, and military, there seemed to be no new hot spots, what a peaceful day......

Suddenly, an inconspicuous news headline attracted his attention - "The real dragon appeared, and 2 hovering dragons appeared in the sky over Xi'an". Yu Fei also studied video editing a little, and in his opinion, this video was by no means post-production. So what's in the clouds? Someone in the thread explained that the air is formed by the different density of the air caused by cyclones, which is then refracted by sunlight. But is that really the case? It's so vivid, Yu Fei searched for a few videos related to the cyclone, and found that the movement of the cyclone is regular, but the two dragon-like light bodies in this video are completely different from the operation of ordinary cyclones, and the movements are completely two living creatures. Are there really dragons in the world? Yu Fei fell into deep thought, and gradually remembered a story that his father had told him.

Yu Fei's father's hometown is located in a village at the foot of Shunhuang Mountain in the southwest of Hunan, there is a place called Heishuitan next to the village, the pond is not big, the radius is only a few zhang, but the pond is very deep, many places are deep and unfathomable, making the pond water appear inky black, so it is called Heishuitan. There is no source of living water flowing into this pool, but it is not a dead pool, the old people in the village said that this pool leads to the dark river of Shunhuang Mountain, so the pool water is full of aura. There is a karst cave next to the pond, which is called Heishui Rock. In the cave, there are big caves and small holes, as well as underground dark rivers, like a labyrinth, it is said that there are gods living in the caves, and the people in the village generally do not dare to enter it alone. There is also a stream below the black water pool, which does not dry up all year round, and the people of the village have lived on this stream for generations. Stone frogs are abundant in the stream, and when the mating season comes, the sound of frogs by the stream comes and goes. This stone frog is also known as the stone chicken, its meat is delicate and delicious, rich in nutrition, and has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing and strengthening the body, it is a local precious delicacy. Before the liberation, there were two brothers in the Wang family in the village, the family was relatively poor, whenever the spring and summer intersected, when the stone frog activities were frequent, the three brothers would go to the stream to catch the stone frog, and then take it to the market in exchange for some oil, salt, firewood and rice.

This stone frog rarely comes out during the day, and only crawls out of its burrow in the evening, and its peak activity is at night. Therefore, night is also the best time to catch stone frogs, one day, just after night, the brothers took the pine torch, carried the bamboo basket, and went to the stream to catch the stone frogs. At this time, it has just begun summer, and it is said that between the green mountains and green waters, most of the nights in this season are cool breezes, but this day is extremely sultry, and there is no breeze in sight. The brothers also wondered, but the sultry weather also made the stone frogs extremely active. On this day, the brothers caught a lot more stone frogs than usual. The brothers became more and more energetic, and they went all the way upstream, and before they knew it, they came to the Black Water Pool. At this time, a few lightning flashes crossed the sky, and a few muffled thunders sounded, and the brothers thought, this is afraid that it is going to rain, go back, there must be three or four miles of mountain roads, I am afraid that it will not be able to go halfway, this rain will have to come down, and then the torches will definitely be extinguished by the rain, there is no fire lighting, once the stream rises with the rain, it will be dangerous to not see the road. So the brothers decided to go to Heishui Rock to take shelter from the rain first. This black water rock has always been a forbidden place in the village, and few people dare to enter it at night. When the brothers entered the black water rock, they did not dare to go inside, so they found a flat rock at the entrance of the cave, put out the torches and rested against each other. There was a faint sound of "cooing", and the brothers could tell that it was the cry of a stone frog, and the three of them cursed in anger that the rain was about to fall, affecting their harvest.

Suddenly, the boss was excited, sat up, no, the frog sound did not come from outside the hole, but from the hole, the three listened carefully, sure enough, the frog sound came from the depths of the cave, the three of them were excited, the boss quickly took out the foreign fire that had just been exchanged for the market not long ago, re-lit a pine torch, followed the sound of the frog and looked for it, the frog cry came from a narrow hole, the hole was just enough for a person to climb into, but the brothers were carrying bamboo baskets, it was not easy to pass, So they poured all the stone frogs they caught into a bamboo basket, leaving the third child to guard the bamboo basket containing the stone frogs, and the eldest and the second child dragged an empty bamboo basket into it. The two of them did not climb far along the entrance of the cave, and then they found that they had entered an open area, and the two straightened up, only to realize that they were in a wide karst cave, the cave was breezy and breezy, but in the middle was a dark river, just now the majestic sound of frogs came from this dark river, the boss took a torch into the water, and saw the dense stone frogs fleeing into the stone cracks on both sides of the dark river. These stone frogs were larger than ordinary stone frogs, and the two of them were ecstatic and hurried forward to catch them.

And the third brother outside the cave, Wen that the eldest brother and the second brother found a lot of big stone frogs in this narrow cave, and they couldn't hold it back in their hearts, and they wanted to go inside to help, but the eldest brother insisted on not letting them, so they had to be in a hurry outside. Outside the cave, the thunder was getting louder and louder, and raindrops the size of beans were pouring down. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of water in the black water pool outside the cave, as if something had fallen into the water, and the third child was shocked: Could it be that there was a mudslide? But the rain has just fallen, where did the mudslide come so fast? Moreover, there is no living water above the black pool. On second thought: maybe the trees were broken by lightning and fell into the black pool. It's just a pity that it's pitch black outside, and you can't see anything. The third child was thinking about it, but he smelled a pungent fishy smell, and the third child quickly covered his nose. and shouted to the narrow cave: "Big brother". But except for the echoes that echoed in the cave for a long time, the third child did not hear the response of the eldest and second child.

At this time, the eldest and second child had already walked away along the dark river, and there were more and more frogs on both sides of the dark river, and the water was becoming more and more urgent. The size of the black pool outside the cave, the dark river flows into this pool. Seeing that there was no way out, and the bamboo basket was almost full, the two decided to go home. As soon as the two of them turned around, they heard the sound of tumbling water behind them, followed by a fishy smell. And the croaking of frogs in the cave that had just been repeated came to an abrupt end. The two turned around, and the boss took the torch to the waterhole, only to see a pair of horns, two cold lights were staring at the torch in the boss's hand, and the two suddenly felt that their brains were blank. The boss's hand trembled, the torch fell into the water, and at the moment when the torch was extinguished, the second child saw an object jump up from the water and pounce on the boss, followed by a miserable cry from the boss......
