Chapter 241 Black Dragon Pond

Li Yuanhong returned to the base and immediately began to prepare for a trip to Heilongjiang. Hearing the news about the giant dragon, if he didn't act quickly, he had almost no chance of winning against Crusu with his current strength. An "average" Crusu would kill him. He was unable to fight back, and if two "mediocre" ones came, he wouldn't have to do anything, so he could quickly find a place to hang out.

Li Yuanhong first ran to Old Man Bai and asked directly for the caveman's submarine that came last time. This thing is good for diving. If he goes to Black Dragon Pond by himself, he will probably have to dive again.

Then let Fatty Lu prepare supplies and fly directly to the upper reaches of Heilongjiang in the spaceship.

"Brother Li, what are we doing?" The fat man never knew the purpose of Li Yuanhong's trip, so he had time to spare and asked quickly.

"Go find Shenlong!" Li Yuanhong replied.

"Dragon? Is there really a dragon in the world?" the fat man asked in surprise.

"Even a demon like Crusu has appeared. How can it be impossible for Shenlong to appear?" Li Yuanhong said angrily.

"Oh! Then where should we look for it now?" Fatty Lu asked again.

"Go to Black Dragon Pond!"

"Where is the Black Dragon Pond?" Fatty Lu asked again.

"Where is the Black Dragon Pool..." Li Yuanhong was also stunned by this question. He didn't know where the Black Dragon Pool was. Nasia only mentioned the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, but did not say where it was specifically. He also forgot to ask specifically at the time.

"In... Anyway, just fly upstream along the Heilongjiang River!" Li Yuanhong rolled his eyes at the fat man.

"Oh, okay!" Fatty Lu saw that Li Yuanhong was a little angry today, so he didn't dare to ask further.

In fact, Li Yuanhong was also scratching his head. After returning to the base, Li Yuanhong also checked the map. Heilongjiang is very long, but he did not find a place called Heilongtan along the way. So now Li Yuanhong is very annoyed, why didn't he ask more at that time.

The airship went up the Heilongjiang River. After this trip, Mohe was not far away. Maybe we could ask the Snow Wolf in Mohe. Maybe this Northeastern person had heard about Black Dragon Pool.

"Fat man, let's go to Mohe to take a rest first." Li Yuanhong said.

"Mohe? Okay, I've been watching the white snow for more than a day. It's time to change my vision! Otherwise, I doubt I'll get snow blindness!" Fatty Lu laughed at himself.

"You're the only one with a poor mouth!" Li Yuanhong didn't say much. The snowy scene looked beautiful at first sight, but staring at it for a day would cause visual fatigue.

The airship quickly arrived at Mohe. When Li Yuanhong got off the airship, the person who picked him up was not Xue Lang.

"Who are you? Where is Snow Wolf?" Li Yuanhong looked at the uncle who picked him up in surprise.

"Oh, Commander Li, my name is Kuman. You forgot, Snow Wolf has been transferred to Harbin!" The uncle politely replied to my question.

I slapped my forehead and realized that I didn't care about personnel transfers now. I had already forgotten about this matter.

"Uncle Kuman, I'm in such a hurry that I'm disturbing you!" Li Yuanhong apologized.

"Hehehe, what did Commander Li say? If you hadn't come here in the first place, our place would still be the home of zombies. Now our life has almost recovered. We no longer have to hide around and suffer from hunger and cold. You guys It’s not too late for us to be happy that we can come!” Uncle Cuman said happily.

"Uncle Kuman, let's discuss it in detail." Li Yuanhong was moved by Uncle Kuman's enthusiasm, so he and Uncle Kuman walked into the Mohe Municipal Office side by side.

Arriving at the general office, everyone sat down. Li Yuanhong first listened to Uncle Cuman's report on the recovery of Mohe this year, as well as various difficulties, especially people's livelihood and the protection of mutant animals. Li Yuanhong was very concerned about it.

For some difficulties, Li Yuanhong divided them into priorities and gave some instructions, especially those related to survival plans. Li Yuanhong specially arranged for the fat man to report to the superiors, so that the Heilongjiang Provincial Office would step up their efforts.

Most of the day was spent dealing with various government affairs like this. Only then did Li Yuanhong realize that it was not easier to handle government affairs in an office than to lead troops to fight. Just listening to the report made Li Yuanhong feel dizzy.

In the evening, when the banquet was served, Li Yuanhong took a look and saw that the table was filled with delicacies and game. Obviously, these things were not within the reach of ordinary people.

Li Yuanhong looked at the dishes on the table and said with some bitterness: "Uncle Kuman, are these things beyond the standard?"

Li Yuanhong has rules for official meals. If he wants to eat delicious food, he can only go to the city guarded by the zombies to rob. This is why Fatty Lu and the others are so keen on attacking the city.

"Commander Li, don't worry about this. This meal is absolutely in compliance with the regulations. We are backing here, and this game is just like the ones in your big cities..." Uncle Kuman didn't know how to describe it at the moment.

"Like the beauties in the city!" said the young man accompanying her.

"You know how beautiful beauties can be, can you be of some use?" Uncle Cuman turned his head and lectured.

"Haha, Uncle Kuman, I know what you mean. As long as it doesn't exceed the standard, even though I am the commander-in-chief, my meal cannot exceed the standard. Otherwise, if everyone looks up to me and follow the order we have finally established, they will be banned. Was it destroyed? You said no."

"We understand, Commander-in-Chief, don't worry. We sell these chickens, wild deer and other things here. There are many of them. They don't cost much and they are absolutely cheap." Uncle Kuman said in a rich Northeastern dialect.

Since Uncle Cuman said that for this reason, Li Yuanhong would be lying if he was polite, so everyone drank happily, especially Fatty Lu, who opened his cheeks and said in Northeastern dialect, it is called opening his belly to make a good meal.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone's face was flushed with alcohol. Only Li Yuanhong's color remained unchanged. Li Yuanhong saw that everyone was almost done drinking, so he asked Uncle Kuman: "Uncle Kuman, have you heard of Black Dragon Pool?"

"Black Dragon Pond?" Uncle Cuman may have drunk too much and his mind was a little slow. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh, I remembered it. When my father was still alive, he told me something. That When my grandfather was still here, he once went fishing in the river, and the boat was capsized by a big wave. Fortunately, my grandfather was good at swimming and managed to swim ashore. Only then did he realize that he had come to a deep pool that he had never been to before. Next to the deep pool, there is a stone tablet, which says it is the Black Dragon Pool."

"Uncle Cuman, do you know where the Black Dragon Pond is?" Li Yuanhong asked eagerly.

"We don't know the specific location. My father was afraid of where I would go swimming, so he didn't tell us. But I still know the general location. My father often told me about that experience. My father once accidentally revealed that that place Just north of here, in a fork of the river in Heilongjiang." Uncle Kuman said.

"Uncle Cuman, why don't we know about this place?" asked the young man next to him.

"It's bad if you know it. My grandfather also entered it by chance. He said it was dangerous there. The bottom of the pool is connected to the river, and the pool is very deep. My grandfather has explored it several times, but he has not reached the bottom. , and there were a lot of dragon bones there, which frightened my grandfather at the time." Uncle Cuman said with excitement.

Li Yuanhong listened quietly and knew that the place Uncle Kuman mentioned was the place he was looking for.

Early the next morning, Li Yuanhong flew towards Heilongjiang in the direction pointed by Uncle Kuman. After flying not far, he saw ice-covered silver chains winding among the mountains and forests. Li Yuanhong knew that this was Heilongjiang. .

Searching along the Heilongjiang River, I quickly found a tributary, which should be the fork of the river that Uncle Cuman mentioned, so I flew up the tributary. After not going far, the river reached its end, but there was no pool here.

"Brother Li, did we find the wrong one?" Fatty Lu asked.

"It should be here, but this is not the end point. The other part of the river should be underground." Li Yuanhong said.

"underground?"

"Well, didn't you hear Uncle Cuman say yesterday that he swam to the pool through the underground river?"

"Haha, I drank too much yesterday, so I didn't hear it." Fatty Lu said embarrassedly.

Li Yuanhong was speechless after hearing this. Fatty Lu would die from drinking, so it would be strange if he didn't drink too much.

"Let's fly a little further ahead and see if we can find it." Li Yuanhong ordered.

So the airship flew forward a short distance, and saw a mountain with a crossbar of 1,000 meters high appearing in front of us, and the cliff was so steep that ordinary people could not climb it.

Seeing this, Fatty Lu said wisely: "Brother Li, there are mountains in front of us. There won't be any pools. Let's look for them elsewhere."

Li Yuanhong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Fat Lu, you said that the Black Dragon Pool is near Heilongjiang, why doesn't anyone know about it?"

"It must be too hidden."

"How do you call it hidden? Is it blocked by woods or in some kind of cave?"

"This...how do I know this?" Fatty Lu said awkwardly.

"I think it is impossible for people to know. The best way is to make it impossible for people to reach it. Do you think this mountain peak cannot be reached?" Li Yuanhong said, looking at the straight mountain peak in front of him.

"Brother Li, if you say so, it's really possible." Fatty Lu also looked at the mountain.

So the airship flew up to a thousand meters high mountain, and then an unexpected scenery appeared in front of us.

Surrounded by mountains, there is a deep pool of water in it. The mountains on both sides are like knives. These mountains are like walls protecting the pool. It is no wonder that no one can discover this pool.

Li Yuanhong quickly ordered someone to land the airship. When Li Yuanhong stepped out of the airship, he was even more shocked.

I saw piles of withered white bones on the shore of this pool of water, but these bones were not human bones, but the bones of the legendary dragon. Look at these bones, there are no less than a hundred of them. These bones are not very young. They are blown by the wind. Under the sun, they have dried up and some have turned into powder. Therefore, the entire pool was pale, in sharp contrast to the dark pool water.

Li Yuanhong was looking around when Fatty Lu suddenly pointed: "Brother Li, look there is a stone tablet over there!"

Li Yuanhong followed Fatty Lu's pointing and saw a word of mouth as expected, so he walked forward and saw three characters vigorously engraved on the tablet: Black Dragon Pool.

Li Yuanhong looked at the characters. They were not carved by modern people, because these characters were traditional Chinese characters. Since Taizu's cultural reform, traditional Chinese characters have been no longer used in the mainland, so this reputation should be at least from the Republic of China period.

Li Yuanhong turned to the back of the monument and saw the inscription. It was written in classical Chinese, which further confirmed Li Yuanhong's guess.

The main content of the inscription is: During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, a Qing general went to war with Russia. Although he won the battle, he signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk and felt that it was unfair. This Kangxi man lost his ancestral land and insulted his ancestors. In anger, he returned to the fields and traveled around. One day, he saw a strong wind blowing. A green dragon fell from the sky and fell not far from Heilongjiang. So he looked for it along the direction, and finally climbed the mountain and saw this black pool. Seeing that the pond was full of dragon bones, the green dragon that had just fallen had been dead for a long time. The warrior lamented that the falling dragon was an ominous sign, so he did not intend to announce it to the outside world, but he did not want to leave silently, so he carved a monument as a memorial.

There is no name left on the signature, only the title of martial artist. The year, month and day are the spring of the 30th year of Kangxi.
