Along the way, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, and Tho Manzi all figured out the same question: with the water nature of General Longsheng's Mu Mangzi, he would never easily sink into Mengchongtang, and only had the explanation of being bitten by a poisonous snake. But they would never have dreamed that Mu Mangzi had exchanged his life for a life in Mengyu, let alone know that the poisonous snake that bit Mu Mangzi to death was not an ordinary poisonous snake, let alone a poisonous snake that wanted Mu Mangzi's life for no reason.

It turned out that the five-step snake that bit Mu Mangzi to death was the fifth sister Yanfeng in the Pangu Cave, in the battle where the Ba people entered the Pangu Cave to get the five swords, because she did not deploy the poisoned arrows and play the important role of the "Five Poison Generals" in poisoning, she was driven away by the Python King Yanlong in a rage, and returned to the place of birth - Wanfeng Linhai (see Chapter 415 of this book "Brothers' War").

The five-step sister Yanfeng returned to the Wanfeng Forest Sea, and heard that the python king Yanlong and the other nine kings in the Pangu Cave were all killed by the Ba people, she felt that she had become a human, but she was not as happy as snakes, and she was sad and became a snake again. However, whether it is a snake or a human, she can never forget her beloved python king salt dragon.

Recently, Yanfeng, a five-step snake, has nothing to do, roaming everywhere to hunt, today to the vicinity of Mengchongtang, heard someone's voice, only to find that Hu'an Palace "goblin" Mengyu, silly Mu Mangzi, Ruyan, Pu Xuemei, Tiger Ben warrior Tho Barbarian and others do not know when to arrive at Mengchongtang.

The scheming Yan Feng has been peeking in the jungle for a long time, and the past events in the Hu'an Palace and the Pangu Cave have appeared in front of me, and the more I look at it, the more sad I become.

When I saw Mu Mengyu and Mu Mangzi swimming around in the Mengchong Pond, like a pair of fairy couples, the five-step sister was jealous and hateful: "It's this goblin in Hu'an Palace who took away the love of Brother Tianwang's love for me; ”

Yan Feng was already vicious, so when he thought about it, his anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and he hated it: "The Ba people say that we are goblins, and you are the real goblin!

The five-step sister Yanfeng quietly slipped into Mengchongtang, ready to bite Mengyu to death. Yan Feng was about to take a mouthful, but was discovered by Mu Mangzi and caught her tail.

Seeing that he couldn't succeed in biting the beauty of Hu'an Palace, Yan Feng said ruthlessly: "Since this is the case, then I will bite you to death, and let the goblin in Hu'an Palace also taste the taste of losing his favorite!"

The poisonous snake of the five-step sister Yanfeng bent her head and bit Mu Mangzi's arm tightly, injecting all the venom into Mu Mangzi's body.

Subsequently, the five-step female snake Yanfeng was thrown into the bamboo forest on the bank of Mengchong Pond by Mu Mangzi with the last of her strength.

Let's say that in the process of Mu Mangzi, the general of Longsheng in Baguo, sinking into Mengchongtang, he saw that under the moonlight, Meng Mengyu was standing by the Zhuxi River in Longbaokeng (one of the pits in Tiankeng, Mu Mangzi's hometown) and waiting for him, gently stepped forward, took her hand, and walked into the Black Dragon Valley together......

This plot is the plot of Mu Mangzi's first official date with Yu Mengyu, and that night in Black Dragon Valley is the most pleasant, happiest, and most unforgettable night in Mu Mangzi's life...... (For the past, see Chapter 313 of this book, "Under the Moon of the Little Bridge").

In the indescribable dreamlike pleasure, Mu Mangzi's soul returned to the Black Dragon Valley of the Dragon Treasure Pit.

The water dragon soul returned, and at the same time on the same day, the cliffs on both sides of the Black Dragon Valley collapsed, forming a terrain of bridges and caves.

Later, the local people called the terrain of this bridge and cave in the remaining pit of the sinkhole as "Black Dragon Qiao" (according to the theory of the five elements, the main water in the north and the main black), which is related to Mu Mangzi, the general of Longsheng of Ba State, and the legend of "Tianlong Qiao" related to General Longwei of Ba Guo Tutianqi, and the "Qinglong Qiao" related to General Wucheng of Long Fei, and called "Tiansheng Sanqiao".

Nowadays, "Tiansheng Sanqiao" is one of the core "five A" scenic spots of the karst world natural heritage in southern China, and it is full of tourists.

The body of Mu Mangzi, the general of Baguo Longsheng, was washed away from a dark river in Mengchongtang into a small dark lake a few miles away. Since he swallowed the Black Dragon Ball (Water Dragon Ball) of the Five Dragon Balls, his body did not decay, deform, or change color, as if he was sleeping in water.

In this dark river, there is a kind of fish that, after long-term heredity, does not have eyes, but is more affectionate than animals with eyes, just as some lower animals are more spiritual than higher animals, for example, they can predict the occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes earlier than humans. The blind fish sensed the water dragon ball in Mu Mangzi's body and knew that he was a water dragon.

The blind fish of this dark river hope that the "sleeping" water dragon will wake up, so thousands of blind fish gather in this small dark lake and turn over the water dragon Mu Mangzi three times a day.

The blind fish, who are affectionate and righteous, do not worry about Mu Mangzi's three times a day, inadvertently causing the water in the dark lake to regularly overflow into a dark river that has dried up many years ago, and then flow out of the ground regularly from a dry spring on the mountainside of the old rock that is connected to this dark river, forming a spectacle.

This spring gushes out at about 8 a.m., 12 p.m., and 6 p.m. every day. Every time the spring water arrives, a stream of air spews out, first weak and then strong, making a "whirring" sound, which lasts for about 20 seconds, and then the sound stops, and a spring water spews out, the water quality is clear and transparent, and flows to the canyon 100 meters deep. After more than 20 minutes, the spring water gradually weakened, and a crisp ding-dong sound was heard, and then the spring gushing stopped, and the waterway dried up as before.

Locals call this spectacle "Three Tides", also known as "Xinshui" and "Lingquan". ”

Many, many years later, the body of Mu Mangzi has become a dragon body, and the descendants of the blind fish here have formed a hereditary conditioned reflex, and at a fixed three hours a day, they will collectively surge in the dark lake, called "Chaolong", so the spring water still overflows regularly, and the letter water still has faith, and there will always be faith.

This legendary story is evidenced by a poem by the poet Xiang Wushu of the Yuan Dynasty:

Xinfeng Valley used to be Rui, and it was a piece of river in southern Qiannan.

According to the gurgling of the holy water, because of the time of the noble spiritual spring.

In the Dynasty, it flowed to the heavens.

Since the dragon has been lying here for a long time, Gan Lin is full of people who can be moved.

This spectacle is also recorded in the "Fuzhou Chronicles": "Three tides of letter water, its spring is like boiling, three tides a day, each time it is high and more."

It is rumored that in ancient times, a minister of the imperial court, went to the lower reaches of the Wujiang River to inspect the people's feelings, heard about this wonder, went to swim in the "three tides", felt very strange, returned to the court to report to the emperor, the emperor thought that it was "holy water", so he passed the decree to change the name to "three tides of holy water". ”

So far, the "Three Tides" spring still exists, and countless tourists, trekking through dangerous roads, have made a special trip to wait for the spring to flow out when it is level. If you are destined, you can also see strange dark river creatures such as blind fish and red crabs that flow out of the spring.
