Chapter 220: Searching for Thunder (2)

"Devil's Waters? Oh my god, what a domineering name!"

Pu Zixuan asked with excitement in horror and asked: "How could there be such a place in the world? What kind of mysterious legends are there in this Poyang Lake? Tell us more."

The shop owner was already in high spirits and responded: "Haha, this Poyang Lake has another name, called Pengli Lake. According to legend, when Dayu controlled the flood, he sent a man named Pengli to build this lake to introduce floods and resolve flood disasters, hence the name."

"Wow, Dayu controls the flood?" Pu Zixuan felt a strong prehistoric aura in an instant and exclaimed at Chen Shuqing, "Xiao Jiu, this pattern is too big!"

Zhu Yuanliang was also surprised and said: "Yes, could it be that Dayu's soul is still left on Poyang Lake?"

Sun Xiaoshu's eyes were also lit: "Yes, two brothers, this must be the case!"

"Three fools!" Chen Shuqing was both angry and funny, cursing, "Dayu controlled the flood and controlled the Yellow River, but the water source of the Poyang Lake was the water of the Yangtze River. What kind of trouble is this?"

Pu Zixuan blushed and said, "What if Dayu treats the water twice? Otherwise, what's going on with this Pengli Lake?"

Chen Shuqing rolled his eyes back to Pu Zixuan and explained: "It was good to call Poyang Lake in ancient times, but it was just a pity. Peng Li originally meant Chaohu, but Ban Gu's quote was wrong when he wrote the "Book of Han", and later generations did not correct it, so he called it wrong. So I see, the myth and legend mentioned by the shop owner is really just a legend, let alone after four or five thousand years, even if there is any divine power on the lake, it has long faded away!"

Pu Zixuan knew that Chen Shuqing was referring to as a purifying power, but it was not convenient to say it clearly. At the same time, he was deeply ashamed of his ignorance, so he pretended to laugh and said, "Xiao Jiu knows a lot, not like a few of us who are ignorant."

Chen Shuqing smiled bitterly and asked the shop owner again: "Store, besides Dayu's flood control, let's tell us some other information."

The store owner is just a businessman and has no knowledge. Seeing that Chen Shuqing is so knowledgeable and dare not tell myths anymore to avoid making jokes, he said truthfully: "Why is the devil's water so weird? There are many different opinions in the world, but no view is convincing. However, if you believe it or not, the facts are there. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, no matter how many ships sink, no one knows where the ships have sunk, and all the wreckages cannot be found! Just last month, two young men and women, who did not listen to the dissuasion, drove on a wooden boat to climb Longtou Mountain. Later, they disappeared in a burst of lightning, thunder and storm. People suspected that they were also sinking into the lake in the devil's waters! Why, do you still insist on going there to see the lightning?"

"You have to see, of course you have to see!" For Pu Zixuan, thunder and lightning are not only not scary, but also symbolize good luck. As for the legend of the shipwreck, it is nothing more than the monsters in the lake. He had encountered water monsters when he was in the Dadu River in Sichuan. Now he doesn't feel guilty even when facing the Red Yasha, let alone the small water monster, and said, "But, where do we want to find a boat? It's better to be a stronger iron ship."

The shop owner said: "I have been running an inn for many years and have met countless tourists. I recognize some boat dealers, such as several docks in Luogushan. However, no one dares to go to the devil's waters. If you rent a boat, you can only go there by yourself."

I didn't want innocent people to take risks. When Pu Zixuan nodded and said yes, the store owner left. When he left, he shook his head and said to himself: "Haha, the playboys have many quirks, many quirks..."

When the shop owner left, Pu Zixuan called Chen Shuqing and asked, "Xiaojiu, what do you think about this?"

Chen Shuqing was stunned: "What do you think?"

Pu Zixuan said: "It is all kinds of strange phenomena in the devil's waters, such as thunder, lightning, storm, etc.? If it weren't for the destruction monster, would it be a curse or something?"

Sun Xiaoshu also said: "Yes, Brother Pu said this, this devilish waters are really like the sandstorm and thunder in the heartbreak valley of Guangxi. It must be caused by some unjust souls!"

Chen Shuqing smiled and said, "It's okay if Xiaoshu doesn't understand. As for Xiaoqi, don't think you talk about Western science one by one, but when it comes to the history of your country, it's like an illiterate one. Poyang Lake is a famous battlefield. In order to compete for the world, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang led a total of 850,000 people in the Ming and Han army to fight for the world. There were countless casualties and injuries on both sides. The battlefield of the decisive battle is this Poyang Lake in Jiangxi. Do you think, can you not have any unjust souls?"

???? Zhu Yuanliang couldn't help but justify himself: "Hey, this time, I'm different from them. I just happened to know about this history. I like the peasant uprising the most."

Pu Zixuan said ashamed, "Hehe, I am still an apprentice of Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants. I don't even know this. I am ashamed, ashamed! Anyway, once the mystery is solved, I will not feel scary. Let's go to meet those dead souls tonight."

Sun Xiaoshu said happily: "No problem. Because of my father's ability, I have dealt with the Dead Soul many times. I'm not afraid of such things."

Zhu Yuanliang smiled casually and said, "Then, I wish you good luck tonight. I will wait for the three of you to return in the inn!"

Pu Zixuan was stunned: "Fatty, what do you mean?"

"What does it mean? It means waiting for you to return triumphantly."

"I mean, why don't you go with us?"

"I? I am a common man. When facing those ghosts, do you want me to steam them or cook them?"

Pu Zixuan scolded in a tone of regret, "Haha, it's still 'Pioneer'. If you don't go, you will give me the cloak my father gave you!"

Zhu Yuanliang smiled and said, "Tsk, that was given to me by Uncle Pu, not by you, why should I return it to you?"

Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "That's right, then, I always give this room fee, right? The journey to the devil's waters is long, so I will definitely not be able to return tonight. So please give the room fee yourself and wait for us to return triumphantly tomorrow."

Zhu Yuanliang had no money at all, and he relied on Pu Zixuan's economic support along the way. When he heard this, he felt a sense of sadness that was so soft-hearted that he had to respond obediently: "How can I see the three of you taking risks, but I am alone in the rear? If I didn't say anything, I have to rely on my Zhu Pioneer to take the lead in fighting against the devil's waters!"

Chen Shuqing and Sun Xiaoshu couldn't help laughing out loud.

...

Although Poyang Lake is named after the lake, its territory is vast. It takes a hundred miles of water to reach Duobao Township from Yugan County. Therefore, after lunch and a short rest, the four of them left the county town under the leadership of the store. After an hour, they arrived at the wharf at the foot of Luogu Mountain. The store immediately contacted a boat dealer, introduced the two parties to their meeting, and then headed back.

It is worthy of being a famous lake in the world. This dock supplier has hundreds of shipyards of various types, large and small, arranged in a vast array of land on the lake surface, available for sale and rent. Pu Zixuan chose for half an hour, and finally his eyes fell on a flat-bottomed multi-masted sailboat imported from the UK and settled down.

The sailing boat also has a resounding name - "Big Coral". The car was booked and set off. The Big Coral was heading north. Chen Shuqing controlled the direction. Pu Zixuan stood at the bow of the boat. The wind was bright and sunny around him. From time to time, there were flocks of egrets flying by, excited.

When the dusk was approaching, the Great Coral Hunter drove into a relatively narrow area of ​​water. I saw a mountain suddenly standing on the west bank, and there were hills on the east bank looking at each other from afar, which was spectacular in the afterglow of the sunset.

Zhu Yuanliang sighed first: "This mountain is so beautiful, completely different from the ordinary mountains I saw before. Could it be that I have arrived in Mount Lu?"

Pu Zixuan replied: "It's really Mount Lu. There is a large amount of demonic aura on the mountain. What's not Mount Lu?"

Sun Xiaoshu realized something: "Didn't the shopkeeper say that Longtou Mountain in Duobao Township is on the other side of Lushan? Could it be that the mountain on our right is Longtou Mountain? Then... have we already entered the devil's waters?"

"Ah?" Pu Zixuan tilted his head and then went to the two sides to inquire. He saw a pagoda standing tall on the east bank mountain. He was shocked, "Yes, yes, that must be Longtou Mountain. This place is also the waters of the devil... But why is the wind calm and the devil's shadow not seen at all?"

Chen Shuqing said: "There are many mysterious places in the world, but when you arrive at a mysterious place, you will definitely encounter mysterious phenomena. Sometimes, many explorers even choose mysterious places, but they have no idea about exploring for many years. Since everything is normal at this time, don't waste time, hurry up the mountain and wait for thunder and lightning!"

Everyone had no objection, so Chen Shuqing then operated the Big Coral Route and turned right to the shallows on the west bank. He moored the boat and the four of them went ashore.

Duobao Township is located in the shape of a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides. When you get to the top of the mountain and arrive next to Dingjiang Pagoda, the sky is completely dark. Looking into the distance, you can see some firelights of farmhouses in the depths of the mountain one after another, not completely uninhabited.

"What, I'm pretending to be a ghost, I think it's just an ordinary mountain!" Pu Zixuan didn't see any lightning or storm, and was tired of walking, but instead felt disappointed and sat on the ground.

Zhu Yuanliang also complained: "It's great now. I've been here for most of the day and came to this place where birds don't poop. I don't know when I will wait for lightning." After that, he sat on the ground and took out a piece of steamed bun to chew.

Chen Shuqing cast a ball of light, bringing light, and comforted him: "It's okay, didn't the store tell me? I can't wait for lightning within a day or two, and his surname is written upside down. Those who dare to say this must be confident."

Zhu Yuanliang said disdainfully: "I think the old man's surname is really going to be written upside down... By the way, what is his surname? Have you asked?"

Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "I asked once, it seems that my surname is Shen."

All four showed a look of being teased.

"Forget it, since you come here, you can rest assured. At worst, just wait for a day or two." Pu Zixuan thought of something and said to Chen Shuqing, "Xiaojiu, we have to find something to pass the time. Can you change me a deck of playing cards? I thought of a way to play, and I can try it together."

Chen Shuqing had already understood this kind of card under Pu Zixuan's introduction and said in a daze: "Then you have to help me find fifty-four leaves as the basis, and then explain various styles, numbers one by one, which will take a lot of time."

"It's okay, we are going to kill time. Fatty, Xiaoshu, you all help me and collect leaves together!"

The four of them were bored and about to set out around. Suddenly, the climate suddenly changed, and a silence of thunder came from the sky.
