Hong Chuan's expression changed several times. In the end, he let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this. Thank you, Brother Lu, for saving my life! "
Lu Chen grinned and waved his hand to show that it was not worth mentioning. Then he said, "By the way, Brother Hong, I remember that when you left yesterday, you were clearly going to the Wailing Ghost Cave, right? Why did you suddenly faint and fall into the pool in the middle of the night? "
Hong Chuan hesitated for a moment, then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is really a long story. Actually, after I went up the mountain yesterday, I did plan to go to the cave, who knew …"
Then, he did not hide it from Lu Chen, or perhaps because Lu Chen had saved his life, so he told Lu Chen everything that happened yesterday.
It turned out that after Hong Chuan went up the Tea Mountain yesterday, because it was his first time coming to this mountain, and the front mountain was planted with spirit tea trees everywhere, densely crisscrossing, even the mountain path on the mountain was like a maze. If people who were not familiar with the terrain walked on the mountain, it was really easy to get lost. Hong Chuan was like this. In the beginning, he just randomly picked a mountain path to walk up the mountain. Anyway, he just kept walking towards the top.
Who knew that after walking halfway up the mountain, he began to feel that something was wrong. There were always several forks in front of him, and some of the mountain paths that he had chosen seemed to extend to the top of the mountain, but as he walked, the direction changed. He didn't go to the east, but to the west.
As a result, Hong Chuan was a little anxious, and quickly turned back to walk again. Who knew that the more busy he was, the more wrong this path became, and the sky also darkened at this time.
After the sky turned dark, the Tea Mountain was gloomy and dim, even identifying the road was very difficult. Although Hong Chuan carried a torch with him to light up the mountain, the mountain wind was too strong, and the fire could not illuminate too far. He walked further and further, and then at a certain moment, he suddenly found that a lake on the mountain appeared in front of him.
Hearing this, Lu Chen also laughed and shook his head, saying, "So, you went to the Dragon Lake by mistake."
"Dragon Lake?" Hong Chuan asked curiously.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's right, the name of the place has been passed down by the villagers since ancient times. The lake on the mountain is called the Dragon Lake, and the pool at the foot of the mountain is called the Dragon Pond. It is said that in ancient times, there was a dragon living here, and that the water on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain are connected. Of course, whether it's true or not depends on whether you believe it or not. "
As he spoke, Lu Chen laughed. Hong Chuan also smiled. Such far-fetched names were a common sight in the Divine Central Continent. There were at least seven or eight thousand places in the world named after dragons. Dragon Mountains, Dragon Seas, Dragon Lakes, Dragon Veins, Dragon Hills, Dragon Fields, and so on could be seen and heard everywhere. Especially in remote and desolate areas, they were the most popular. Moreover, the natives of almost every place could tell you a magical and distant legend.
Perhaps it was because in ancient times, the Divine Dragons who could ride the clouds and ride the mist had left an indelible magical impression in people's minds. However, anyone with a bit of knowledge would mostly dismiss these names with a laugh. As for the reason, it was very simple. Even if the Ancient Divine Dragons did descend to the human world, even if all the dragons worked hard to live in those legends, they could only play less than one percent of the roles in those stories.
Humans were too passionate, and there were too many legends. There were not enough Divine Dragons …
Hong Chuan was born in a famous sect with a long history like the Kunlun Party, so he naturally had this bit of experience and knowledge. He looked at Lu Chen and smiled.
But then Lu Chen frowned and said, "So, you went to the Dragon Lake on Xilu Mountain. How did you end up in this pool at the foot of the mountain?"
Hong Chuan shook his head and said, "That's the strange part. When I saw the lake last night, I knew I had gone the wrong way after all. I was a little depressed, but it was already late and I might not be able to find my way back. So, I decided to spend the night by the lake and prepare to go to Feiyan Rock tomorrow."
At this point, he paused and then remembered something. He smiled apologetically at Lu Chen and said, "Uh, the Feiyan Rock I was talking about is that sinkhole. Please forgive me, Brother Lu. I'm used to saying it and can't change it …"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "You don't have to be so polite. I know. You can continue."
Hong Chuan said, "Well, then I found a place by the lake to shelter from the wind and planned to spend the night. Who knew that in the middle of the night, when I was sleepy, I suddenly heard … a strange sound from the Dragon Lake. It woke me up. Then, I saw the originally calm lake suddenly boil. A moment later, a strange fish suddenly jumped out of the water. The water splashed down and silver light shone in all directions. It was as if, as if it really was the legendary carp transforming into a dragon!"
Even the usually calm Lu Chen was shocked at this moment. He said in surprise, "What?"
Hong Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "This … this is what I saw with my own eyes last night. I didn't think of it because I heard Brother Lu mention that the lake is called the Dragon Lake."
Lu Chen was also speechless for a moment. Then, he heard Hong Chuan continued, "I was also stunned at that time. Because I was too surprised, I couldn't help but stand out. As a result, I only took two steps forward. The strange fish in the air suddenly turned its head and looked at me …"
According to what Hong Chuan said, that gaze seemed to contain a very strange power. Even if he had cultivation to protect himself, he still felt dizzy. Suddenly, his vision turned black and his body fell forward … ….
In Hong Chuan's last memory, he only remembered that he staggered and fell into the lake. A cold wave of water drowned him. As for what happened after that, he had no memory. When he woke up, he was in this hut.
After listening to Hong Chuan's words, Lu Chen didn't speak for a moment. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
After Hong Chuan glanced at him, he asked tentatively, "Brother Lu, from what you said just now, you saved me from the lake at the foot of the mountain?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, when I came out in the middle of the night, I happened to see some movement in the lake. In the end, I found you floating on the water. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have gone to the Dragon Lake to save you …"
Halfway through his words, he was suddenly startled and said, "This … could it be that the legend is actually true? The Dragon Lake on the mountain and the Dragon Lake at the foot of the mountain are actually connected by a secret water channel?"
