Chapter 56: The Big Hole
After Li Yuanjun left, Gan Ningyuan spent another half a month consolidating what he had gained, and unconsciously, his sword technique took a step further.
In comparison, his sword skills are now far superior to those of swordsmanship.
On this day, when he returned from fishing, Xun San and his brothers waited outside the house for a long time.
"Brother Xun, what's the matter with coming to me so late?" Gan Ningyuan was a little puzzled.
"Brother Gan, today we went out of the lake to fish, encountered a shoal, there is a cliff on one side of the shoal, there is a hole under the cliff, thinking that you are strong in martial arts, I specially invited you to explore, if there is any treasure in it, you will choose first. Scar's bald head touched his head and said, these days they know that Gan Ningyuan practices martial arts every day, and the level of martial arts is unimaginable.
"Big hole?"
"Yes, the big hole is also exposed in recent days when the weather has been dry and the water level has dropped sharply, and we can't hide it, we found traces of whitebait at the entrance of the cave, so we will come to ask you to catch it. The bald Xun San explained.
For the whitebait, Gan Ningyuan heard the beggar grandfather talk about it, the legend is that the whitebait is one of the descendants of the ancient dragon clan, which contains the true dragon blood, and can prolong life after eating, at least to increase the age of 100 years.
There is another saying that the silverfish is a descendant of the dragon, eight feet long, the fins are like a sharp sword, and there is a fish pill in its body, which can have the effect of resurrecting the dead if eaten.
"Brother Gan, if there is really a whitebait in it, then we will be developed. Xun San saw Gan Ningyuan's contemplative expression, and immediately said, and several people around him also stepped forward to persuade him.
"Idle is idle, since you brothers have come to invite me, then I will go with you. "As for the silverfish, it has only appeared in legends, and what he has seen is only in history books, so he is inevitably curious.
The silverfish are extinct, not to mention the real dragon and the dragon.
Hearing this, Xun San and several people were overjoyed, and immediately agreed on a time, prepared for each, and set off in five days.
The most important thing in fishing is fishing gear, but he didn't prepare, because Xun San and the others would definitely prepare, he only needed to practice knives.
While Gan Ningyuan was practicing his sword skills, an old man walked slowly towards his wooden house.
"Senior Huo, long time no see. Gan Ningyuan sighed, he had already forgotten about Huo Xing, the old man, and he didn't want to come out again now, so he stepped forward to greet him.
"You kid, you don't wait for me if you have such a good place, do you really look down on me as an old man?" Huo Xing replied coldly, sitting on the stone pier in front of the house.
"If Senior Huo doesn't dislike it, he will live here. Gan Ningyuan had no choice but to say, the fortune-telling old man in front of him didn't know why, he must follow him.
"Since you're fishing, go and cook me a bowl of fish soup, I've been hungry for two days. ”
Gan Ning cooked fish from afar, and secretly observed Huo Xing, this old guy is not good-looking, let alone martial arts, but he can always find him accurately, and he can't understand the strangeness.
From time to time, the fish soup was cooked, and Huo Xing drank it all the way.
"Boy, although your sword skills have improved, it is far from enough, if someone invites you in the near future, you don't want to go, it's not good for you. Huo Xingyi touched his stomach unfinished, glanced at Gan Ningyuan and said.
"How did the seniors know that someone invited me, I can't hide it, I have already promised them. Gan Ningyuan was surprised in his heart, but his face was silent.
"Then you can be careful about your little life, there are other predecessors, I am useless, you can call me Lao Huo. Huo Xing didn't care, he didn't care about Gan Ningyuan, but reminded him painlessly.
"Lao Huo, but what danger will I encounter on this trip?" Gan Ningyuan stepped forward and immediately called Lao Huo, and Huo Xing glared at him, making him feel a little weak.
He had never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this time he would rather believe them, after all, he was indeed invited.
"Naturally, there are dangers, ranging from death to serious injury. Huo Xing replied.
"Is there any way to crack it?" Gan Ning stepped forward and asked.
"If you don't go, you'll crack it. ”
Hearing this, Gan Ningyuan showed a wry smile, how could he break his promise to Xun San and the others.
Huo Xing didn't say anything, got up and went into the house and fell asleep on the bed.
Looking at Huo Xing, Gan Ningyuan was speechless, how does this old guy look like a charlatan, let him believe it, and he won't believe it.
In the next two days, Gan Ningyuan was still practicing the sword, and when he was handy, he also practiced Li Yuanjun's Lingyuan sword technique, although he only had sword moves, but with the internal strength of the Moon Spirit Sword Technique, the power was a little bit, but it was a little nondescript.
Huo Xing had nothing to do all day, sitting in front of the house shouting to drink, as if he had already played a trick on Gan Ningyuan.
Early this morning, Xun Sanwu came to find Gan Ningyuan, and although the latter had a little concern in his heart, he still went with them.
"Boy, I have a stone here that I can't leave with. Huo Xing suddenly threw a white stone the size of a thumb at him.
Gan Ningyuan took the white stone and was puzzled, but seeing that Huo Xing didn't say much, he didn't ask much.
A group of six people boat more than ten miles, come to a remote place, look at it, the whole is full of rocks, no wonder few fishermen come here, some of these rocks are round and some are very sharp, if they bump into the boat, it is the end of the shipwreck.
At first glance, the cliff is made of rocks, but I don't know how many years have passed, the rocks have been embedded together, and they have weathered so much that they have not even seen a gap.
Originally, this place was called Rocky Beach by the fishermen of Qingfeng Town, because in the early years, many fishing boats sank here, and after that, few people came.
Looking up, the cliff is extremely high, and I don't know where it is. However, Gan Ningyuan was a little stunned in his heart, when he fell off the cliff and was buried, it was quite similar to here.
"Could it be that I fell from above back then?" Gan Ningyuan guessed, but then he couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help frowning.
"Brother Gan, that big hole is right ahead. Xun San pointed towards the cliff.
Looking down the horizon, I saw a huge hole, which was surrounded by lush greenery and some aquatic plants, but at this time it was all bare on the water.
Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, Gan Ningyuan felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and Lao Huo's words were repeated over and over again in his heart.
After a short time, the six of them rowed to the entrance of the cave, and when they looked closely, the hole looked like a fierce beast's mouth.
"Brother Gan, you see, these aquatic plants are pale silver, and there is a small amount of mucus on them. Xun San pointed to the aquatic plants at the entrance of the cave and said, it was because of these silver aquatic plants that they boldly guessed that there were whitebait in it.
Although Gan Ningyuan had heard of the legend of the whitebait, he knew very little about its growth habits.
"Brother Xun, this cave doesn't look like a natural formation, even if there is a whitebait in it, I'm afraid the danger is not small. Gan Ningyuan was silent for a moment before expressing his concerns.
"Well, who's to say it's not! It's just that the silverfish is a legendary thing in the world, and it is worth going in and exploring it, and even if we encounter danger, be alert, and there are many of us, and there should be no danger. Xun San naturally could think of this, so he replied, and several people around him showed a determined look.
