【Chapter 539】 A dream in a hundred years

"Ahh

At first glance, when Gan Ning said the location of the battle word by word, among the five people behind Li Li, except for Huan Fei, who looked ignorant, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Er Qiao exclaimed when they heard this, and they all showed horror on their faces.

"What's wrong with you?" Hearing the exclamation behind him, Li Li turned around abruptly and asked in confusion.

Lu Su, who was in a state of shock, was the first to wake up, and in an instant he walked quickly to Li Li's side, pulling him back to the door of the cabin, with a look of horror still on his face.

Obviously, the place of Poison Dragon Pond is quite famous, so much so that Yangzhou people far away from Jingzhou have heard of this place name.

In addition, it is certain that this famous place is not a good place, otherwise the calm minds of Zhou Yu and Lu Su would not have heard the change of color and were shocked.

"Brother, hey, you shouldn't have promised Gan Ning to fight!" Lu Su sighed as soon as he opened his mouth, his expression was very heavy, and he stopped talking.

Li Li was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Could it be that this poisonous Dragon Pond or Longtan Tiger's Den is not successful, is it so terrifying?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Su looked up at Li Li in the twilight and asked in surprise, "Brother knows about Poison Dragon Pool?" Now that you know, why does the elder brother still have to fight, don't you hear that there are no heroes on the poisonous dragon pool, and the nightmare abyss buries the loyal soul? ”

"There are no heroes on the Poison Dragon Pool, and the nightmare abyss buries the loyal soul?" Li Li groaned with a blank expression.

"Yes!" Lu Su responded: "The Poison Dragon Pond was first named 'Nightmare Abyss', and it is the resting place of loyal souls in the minds of the Chu people. According to legend, in 278 BC, the Qin general Bai Qi led his troops to break through Yingdu, the capital of Chu, and then fought a decisive battle with the Chu army in Yancheng, breaking the water to irrigate the city, causing hundreds of thousands of Chu people to be submerged in the water. More than a month after the war, the Chu people found the remains of the victims, of which more than 100,000 corpses were gathered in an abyss pool hundreds of miles away. Since then, this nameless deep pool has been named 'Nightmare Abyss', implying that the unjust death of the Chu people's souls will not be dispersed. Although the Qin general Wu Anjun Bai Qi shocked the Six Kingdoms, he was not a hero in the eyes of the Chu people at that time, and correspondingly, the unjust soul of the Chu people in the abyss of nightmare was regarded as the loyal soul of the Chu State by later generations. Therefore, there is a saying that 'there are no heroes on the Poison Dragon Pond, and the nightmare abyss buries the loyal soul'. ”

Hearing Lu Su mention the pre-Qin general Bai Qi, Li Li was secretly surprised, but a set of numbers about "killing god Bai Qi" in later generations came to his mind.

According to the well-documented historical records of later generations, the Qin general Bai Qi wiped out more than one million people in his lifetime. During the Warring States Period, a total of about two million people were killed, and Bai Qi accounted for one-half. After Bai Qi died by himself, the princes and kings of the six kingdoms drank wine to congratulate and praise; And the world calls Bai Qi "killing God".

It's just that Li Li really can't imagine what the Poison Dragon Pool has to do with the Nightmare Abyss, after all, this was all four hundred years ago. How has it survived to this day?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Li asked urgently: "Zijing, don't go around the corner." Tell me what's going on with this Poison Dragon Pool? ”

Seeing that Li Li didn't know the origin of the Poison Dragon Pool. Lu Su was stunned for a moment. At this time, Zhou Yu continued: "The nightmare abyss has long been submerged in the change of dynasties, but in the past hundred years, all the fishing boats that have passed through the entrance of the abyss have been destroyed and killed, and I am afraid that thousands of fishermen have been buried in it. At first, I didn't know what was weird about it, but I thought it was a ghost, until someone saw a dragon in and out of the abyssal pool from a distance. Since then, it has spread from ten to hundred, and the name of Poison Dragon Pond has spread. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and continued: "The fishermen along the river believe in the god of water and the dragon king. Firmly believe in the theory of ghosts and evil gods, so some people associate the nightmare abyss hundreds of years ago with the poisonous dragon pool, thinking that the poisonous dragon in the poisonous dragon pool is the soul of the wronged soul and brings disaster to the surrounding people. Therefore, the surrounding people moved away from the poisonous dragon pond one after another, so that there was not a single family within hundreds of miles around the deep pool, and the ships did not dare to pass through the entrance of the deep pool, so they had to make a detour to the branch circulation hundreds of miles away.

In the past ten years, it is said that many rangers have gone to the Poison Dragon Pond to find out what is going on without fear of danger, but most of them have gone and never returned, and there is no news. Only the people who went to investigate in winter were able to escape, and claimed that there was really a huge dragon about dozens of zhang long in the Poison Dragon Pool, and the rumors were vivid and seemed to be true. But I, Zhou Yu, don't believe in such absurd rumors, but there are many strange things in the world, and the rumors of Poison Dragon Pond have been circulating for a hundred years, and they must not be groundless. Therefore, the lord must not risk his life, he would rather believe his existence or not, in case the rumors are true, wouldn't he be self-defeating and never return? ”

"Dozens of feet long Jiaolong? Hehehe! Li Li was stunned and groaned, then shook his head and laughed, and said: "It's really absurd and heresy, and it can't be believed!" In the past, Zicheng, Feihu and others pursued Ma Chao, and Zicheng hunted a hundred-year-old golden python, which was only about a few zhang long and weighed about 100 catties. Such a fictitious thing has been spread for a hundred years, and there must be something strange in it, maybe it is the nest of water thieves, and they are just fooling the people with evil spirits! ”

Speaking of this, Li Li suddenly changed his words and asked, "Where is the Poison Dragon Pond, and how far is it from here?" ”

"Go more than ten miles along the river, then enter the tributaries, and travel dozens of miles to the west. The front and back trips are combined, nearly 100 miles, and it takes two days to travel by boat. Lu Su continued.

"A hundred miles of waterway?" Li Li was surprised when he heard this, and hesitated: "Isn't that a long detour and delaying my trip?" In that case, don't go, get ready to fight the Jinfan thief! ”

"Hahaha!" As soon as Li Li finished speaking, he heard a piercing laughter, and without turning his head to look, he knew that the person who laughed must be Gan Ning.

Turning his head and seeing that Gan Ning actually drove the boat and leaned against his ferry, a trace of vigilance flashed in Li Li's eyes, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "What are you laughing at, is it ridiculous?" ”

"Are you too scared to go?" Gan Ning stared at Li Li and sneered.

Li Li looked at Gan Ning without showing weakness, and said with a slight bow: "Even if I'm afraid." Unlike you, I'm curious about the unknown, and I didn't have any curiosity a few years ago, let alone fight with people. For something out of my control, I'd rather give in or give up than risk my life. But I envy you very much, Gan Ning, happy and enmity, alone without worry, this is not a big joy in life! ”

As he spoke, Li Li felt that Gan Ning was not as annoying as before, and he was quite arrogant, and he could do whatever he wanted. Carefree, uninhibited, and enviable.

After a pause in his voice, Li Li retracted his gaze, no longer forced to look at Gan Ning, and sighed lightly as if he was touched: "Although there is a fire and water between you and me today, a fight is inevitable. However, I still think that you Gan Xingba is a man, and although I disagree with what you have done, this does not prevent me from appreciating you. Unfortunately, I have a lot of future and destiny in front of me now, and a lot of times a lot of things are not what I want to do. Life in the world is not only for ourselves, there are many things and responsibilities that we need to shoulder and strive for for for life. So, frankly speaking, I have some envy of you Gan Ning. Criss-crossed, carefree and unconstrained. Casual and chic and free. It's exciting! ”

"Oh?" Gan Ning's expression moved slightly when he heard this, his eyes were complicated, and he said suspiciously: "You are a very peculiar person, you are not very old, you have a lot of feelings, and you are calm and calm when encountering things." Talking old-fashioned, as if he had experienced a lot of things. With your little white face alone, you shouldn't be as old as me, probably in your early twenties and just getting the crown, right? ”

"You have good eyesight. It's not bad to say, but it's a pity that we are still enemies! Li Li said in a deep voice with a displeased expression.

It was originally a very pleasant remark, but when it came out of Gan Ning's mouth, the taste suddenly changed, making people listen harshly. As a result, Li Li naturally didn't give him a good face, and he didn't speak ill of him, because Li Li didn't have the interest to quarrel at the moment, and he was a little depressed in his heart.

Gan Ning didn't care about the different color on Li Li's face, but he didn't get angry about it, and his expression was calm as usual. Maybe he didn't know each other, or Li Li's words just now touched him, which prompted Gan Ning to also change his impression of Li Li, and he no longer got angry when he saw Li Li like before.

"You don't mind if I sit on your ship, do you?" Just when Li Li's face was not good, Gan Ning suddenly asked.

Li Li's face changed slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You're not afraid that I will take the opportunity to kill you?" You are the leader of the Jinfan thieves, and you should be familiar with the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, as long as I capture you, these servants under you will inevitably throw a mouse, and watch us leave. Do you dare to come and die? ”

"Sent to death? Hehehe, I'm afraid it may not be! Gan Ning's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head disapprovingly: "You think these brothers under my Gan Ning are too simple. Over the years, I have been close to each other, and have experienced countless vendettas and fights, many of which are vicious battles in which they are besieged. But you see that I am still alive and well, unscathed, and still standing in front of you. You can look up at the rocky cliffs on the shore, where there are thousands of my brothers, and there are dozens of warships on the river at the bend in front of you, ready to go into the water to chase you. Therefore, even if you have the ability to kill me, you don't dare to do it, because you are not alone, and it is impossible for you to escape alone. Otherwise, with your skill and water nature, if you want to escape, none of us can stop you. But you have not yet escaped, which shows that you care very much about your fellow shipmates, and if so, why should I be afraid? ”

While talking, Gan Ning jumped onto the bow of the boat, and stood three steps away from Li Li's side, as if he was not afraid of Li Li's threatening words.

This shows that Gan Ning is not a reckless person, he is courageous, brave and strategic. is worthy of being an old bird walking the rivers and lakes, his methods are very spicy and scheming, his actions are strange and unpredictable, and he is an extremely difficult and ruthless character.

Squinting at Gan Ning jumping on the ferry without fear, Li Li then looked up at the Jinfan on the stone cliff, his eyes showing a solemn look.

As Gan Ning said, the Jinfan thieves were numerous and well-trained, and they had surrounded the ferry at this moment, making it difficult for Li Li and his party of six to fly.

In addition, Gan Ning's eyes were very poisonous, and he saw that Li Li would not give up his companions and flee alone.

Since then, Gan Ning has no worries about boarding the ship again and standing beside Li Li, and he is sure that Li Li will not dare to do anything to him. Otherwise, the five people on the ship, except for Li Li, would not have been able to escape the chaotic arrows of the Jinfan thieves, and it would have been impossible to escape from the encirclement and interception of the thieves.

"It seems that you have a chance to win, so why gamble with me? You could have given the order to fire the arrows and see who of us dies first? Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Gan Ning standing beside him with a big grin, and Li Li said in a deep voice.

"Hehehe!" Gan Ning laughed coldly and said, "You are really a cooked duck with a rotten mouth, and you are still arrogant in front of me today!"

To tell you the truth, I, Gan Ning, am not a murderer, and I will not do loss-making transactions. How many people on the ship could survive under the chaos of arrows? If I kill you all, then why should I go to such lengths to lead a band of my brethren to chase you for hundreds of miles and set up an ambush in front of you? I have never done such a futile thing, and today is no exception. But this time it was a bit of a surprise, I didn't expect you to be so good at water, even above me. I didn't expect that you guys are still a hard bone, and you can be so calm when you die, which is a headache! ”

"It's rare to hear a truth from your mouth!" Li Li smiled slightly, turned to look at Gan Ning, and said in a calm tone: "Since you have the courage to get on the boat, then follow me to the cabin for a cup of tea." I just had a fight with you underwater, but I'm a little thirsty at the moment, and it just so happens that you're here, so you don't have to worry about these Jinfan thieves secretly casting cold arrows. While there's still time, take a sip of tea and rest, and then it's not too late for us to fight again. Please! ”

Although he said that he invited Gan Ning into the cabin, after Li Li said that, he left and strode into the cabin, how could there be any sincerity in the invitation.

"It's okay not to say I'm thirsty, but when it comes to drinking tea, I'm really thirsty!" Gan Ning muttered to himself in a daze, but when he came back to his senses, he found that Li Li had already entered the cabin. Suddenly, he couldn't help but be discouraged and said: "This guy really didn't take me a Jinfan thief in his eyes, and he was so arrogant!" ”

In his own words, Gan Ning hurried to catch up, and said as he walked: "Hi, Li Wenchang, you wait!" Is there any wine in the cabin, what is the meaning of drinking tea, if you want to drink, drink wine! ”

When he strode into the cabin, Li Li beckoned Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Huan Fei to come in together, ignoring the surrounding Jin Fan subordinates.

"Xiao Qiao, don't worry, it's going to be fine, I'll have me!" As soon as he walked into the cabin, Xiao Qiao flew into Li Li's arms, his eyes were full of tears, and his pretty face was full of worry.

After comforting Xiao Qiao softly, Li Li gently patted Xiao Qiao's buttocks and said softly: "Go, make a good pot of tea, let's have a good taste of your tea-making skills." Hehehe! ”

Little Joe was reluctant to leave Li Li's arms, walked slowly to the tent, and made tea with her sister Da Qiao.

When Li Li sat down for a while, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others then walked in and sat down around the case, with a particularly gloomy expression on their faces and silence.

Li Li smiled when he saw it and said, "You don't have to worry so much, things are not as strict as you think." Over the years, I have encountered countless winds and waves, and today's events are not worth mentioning at all. Hehehe! ”
