"There are dragon turtles in the ink pool, and there are spirit deer in the Lingling Mountain. "The people of Fengpu County know and have also heard of such a legend.

A long, long time ago, when the Lingling Mountain was just formed, a small lake was formed under the foot of the mountain, the lake water is crystal clear, the lake surface is full of fragrance, the flowers on the lake shore bloom all the year round, all kinds of animals in the mountain love to come to the lake to drink water, and whether it is tigers, leopards, deer and sheep, they are all harmonious, and they are a prosperous scene.

No one knows how many years later, an old man with crane hair suddenly moved by the lake, he saw the fairy-like situation here, so he built a stone house next to it, and after living for a long time, this place became his home.

The old man is very knowledgeable, calligraphy is a must, many people around the people come to ask for words, the old man is generous, there is a request. Set up an empty altar in front of the door, and the person who asks for the word can give some manual fees as he wishes, and he does not care if he has no money to give.

Since then, the old man has become famous, and people affectionately call him "Mosuo". The people of Mosu are very gentle, warm-hearted, kind to people, and also care for the animals who come to the lake to drink, so this place is more vibrant, beautiful like a fairyland on earth.

One day, there was a young man from Fengpu City who was hunting on the Lingling Mountain, chasing a black deer, this deer was a doe, the young man was good at martial arts, but although he injured one of the black deer's feet, he still let it run away, but he fell down the mountain and fell into serious injuries.

Murchael spotted him at the foot of the hill and took him back to the stone house to heal him. One stay is more than half a month. The young man was getting better, and he was very grateful to Mochael, but he miraculously found that the old man would go down to the lake late at night, and sleep in the water, and return to the house at dawn the next day, and he would like to find out what was going on.

The young man had already healed, but he deliberately pretended that he was not injured, and still could not get out of bed, and when it was late at night, he secretly followed Mo Chau to the lake, and quietly hid behind the stones to watch.

Mo Chau, as usual, went down to the lake, soaked in the lake water, his head floated on the surface of the lake, at this time the lake water was fragrant, the breeze blew, the fragrance was also inhaled into the nose of the young man, he was suddenly refreshed, and felt that he had inexhaustible strength, it turned out that this lake water has a miraculous effect, and can also help people practice martial arts. When he was injured, Mochael used the lake water to drink and bathe him, and the injury healed so quickly. If you practice here and have the help of the lake, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Suddenly, something even more strange happened, the ink deer he was chasing also appeared by the lake, drinking water while looking at the old man, his eyes seemed to be very affectionate. Mochau went ashore and actually mated with the black deer. Seeing that the young man's face was red and his heart was beating faster.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, but he made up another idea in his heart, in order to be able to practice kung fu well, he must occupy Xiaohu.

Another late night, Mochau went to the lake again, the young man hid behind the stones, took a bow and shot arrows, while Mosuer was soaking in the lake, as if asleep, the young man fired three arrows in succession, all of them were in the middle of Mochau, Mochau screamed, the blood gushed like a spring, and gradually sank into the lake, but the blood of the old man was black, and soon all the lake water was black.

When the black deer appeared, it found that the lake was dark, the situation was abnormal, it chirped, its voice wailed, the young man drew his bow and shot again, and the black deer fled.

The next morning, the young man came to the lake, the lake was still as black as ink, the young man shook his head and sighed, he did not expect that although he had killed Mo Chau and got the small lake, the small lake had become a waste pool, he squatted down and fished out the water with his right hand, and the black water could even dye his fingers black, he finally gave up and turned away.

When people find that the ink is gone, the lake water becomes black like ink again, all kinds of legends are spread in the folk, and later there are people who love to write, find that this lake is the best ink, the words written can be preserved for a hundred years, and there is a strange fragrance, so people named it "ink pool".

"That's how the inkwell came from!" Yuhan sighed.

"Yes, the ink pool has been famous since then, not only the people of Fengpu City come here to get ink, but also many literati and ink writers from other places come to get ink. In this way, they were targeted by a shrewd businessman, who bribed the government to keep the ink pool for themselves and make huge profits. ”

"Oh, with such a thing, the ink pool has actually become his personal property, I don't know who this merchant is?" Yun Yao asked with a smile.

Sister Lan paused for a moment and continued: "Actually, this businessman is not evil, when he makes enough money, he also knows that if he continues like this, he will inevitably be condemned by heaven, so he evacuated the ink pool, gave up everything here, and left Fengpu County to do business elsewhere to develop the family, they are the Li family in Mengcheng." ”

"Mengcheng Li family?" Yu Han and Yun Yao exclaimed with a smile, "It turns out that the Li family made a fortune from the ink pool. ”

Qian Jiangxi took over the topic: "Yes! But in those days, thanks to the Li family, since the Li family withdrew, the ink pool began to be chaotic, people went to the ink pool to get ink, every day for the ink in the ink pool and fight, fighting, every day will hurt people, die, the government can't control it, there is nothing to do, watching them fight." ”

"Who are these people? What's the point of such a fight? Even the government can't control it. Yun Yao smiled and said dissatisfiedly, "I didn't expect that this Li family used to occupy it alone, but it really did a great thing." ”

"Alas, who says no, these people are all people from the rivers and lakes, with high martial arts and willful character. As long as there are interests to chase, they will fight with each other, and if they get ink, they will get rich, and the ink in the inkpool will be raised higher and higher by the people outside, which will motivate more people to participate in the robbery. Qian Jiangxi shook his head helplessly.

However, one day more than sixty years ago, everyone saw a black deer on the edge of the inkhole, and it stood quietly on a dirt slope, looking at everyone with a strange look in its eyes, as if it was despising everyone, and it seemed to be angry. Sister Lan said.

Yuhan asked, "Is that the legendary black deer?"

"Everyone thinks it's it, but no one dares to confirm it, after all, I don't know how many years have passed. Could it be that the black deer is still alive, and it has become a demon beast. If it is the same kind, it is completely certain that it also ran down from the Lingling Mountain, and after that, people watched it go up the Lingshan again, so people called it the Lingling Deer. Sister Lan said.

Yuhan asked, "What about later?"

Then all the bad luck began, and that night, all the people who remained by the inkwell disappeared overnight. Qian Jiangxi said, "Next, for a few days, as long as the people who went to get the ink, they were all poisoned, and none of them were spared, and people were extremely panicked for a while, and legends spread everywhere." Some people say that it is the spirit deer that is doing strange things, and some people say that there is another monster in the ink pool, with a dragon-like head and a turtle-like body, as long as they hear a human voice, they suddenly rush out and devour the person who took the ink. ”

Unfortunately, no one has ever seen the truth, and since then, no one has dared to go to the inkwell to get incense ink. Zhou Bin said, "There is a dragon turtle in the ink pool, and the legend that there is a spirit deer in the Lingling Mountain has spread. ”

"That's the case, so what is the ink pool like now? No one has ever been there?" asked Yuhan.

"In fact, there are still people who go, after all, under the heavy reward, or in the case of great benefits, there are still many people who want money and don't want to die. Sister Lan sighed and said, "It's a pity that the vast majority of people have never returned, and the few people who escaped by luck have also kept their mouths shut and stopped talking about it, and they have all been seriously injured in various ways." ”

Yun Yao smiled and said: "Could it be that this ink pool has really become a forbidden place in Fengpu City, no one has really seen this Cangming Dragon Turtle and Xun Linglu, there are so many heroes and heroes in Fengpu City, it is completely possible to organize a strong team to figure things out?"

"Uncle is right, now the family of the four talented people is doing this, we are recruiting wise men, and we are ready to go to explore this matter today. Sister Lan said with a smile.

Yun Yao smiled and patted his chest: "That's good, it's also counting our grandfather." ”

Zhou Bin was surprised: "Uncle, do you want to participate?"

"Well, I want to see what these dragon turtles and spirit deer are?"

"Great, the old man is really heroic, we see the old man's stunt, we know that you are not an idle person, and I want to include you in the team, but I didn't expect the old man to be arrogant and take the initiative to ask for battle. Qian Jiangxi said, "But, after all, this is not child's play, it may be a loss of life, so we have an ink formation, only those who break this formation can enlist in the army, I wonder if the old man is willing to break into the formation?"

"Okay, we'll break the formation first tomorrow, hehe!" Yun Yao laughed and couldn't stop laughing.

The people ate and drank for a while before they dispersed.

Zhou Bin sent the two back to the room, and on the way Yuhan asked, "Zhou Gongzi, I wonder how many people have joined this team now?"

Zhou Bin sighed: "Alas, there are indeed many people who want to go, and there are not many people who can pass the ink array, we have been recruiting for three years at present, and there are less than ten people." ”

"Ah, one by one, this formation is so difficult to pass?" Yun Yao smiled and exclaimed.

"Actually, it's not, it's just that there is a special feature in this formation, writing, and it can't be written by hand, it is precisely because of the uncle's trick of floating in the air and writing with his mouth that my sister and Uncle Qian look at each other differently. Zhou Bin said, "To be honest, when I passed your calligraphy competition upstairs in Fengxian and talked to the two of them, both of them were very excited, saying that they must meet you at night, so they came." ”

Only then did Yuhan and the others understand that they had a purpose, that is, they wanted them to participate, and this play was performed, and now they sent it to the door, but this was also their intention.

"What kind of set of methods does this ink array look like?" Yun Yao asked with a smile.

Zhou Bin said with a smile: "Uncle don't worry, the formation is not harmful, I think you must be sad, take care of your spirit tonight, and you will be able to succeed tomorrow." ”

After the three of them separated, they all went back to their rooms.
