Their car picked up the old gentleman Wang Liunian, his grandson and daughter-in-law all the way into the car, and then a group of five drove towards Tianmu Mountain.

Because they were on highways and the speed was very fast, in the evening, they got off the highway and quickly entered Tianmu Mountain.

Tianmu Mountain is steep, the roads are rugged, and there is no expressway. They are all on provincial highways and lack maintenance, so the speed cannot be fast.

Shortly after entering the mountain, the old man asked them to get off the provincial road and enter a dirt road. The road was very narrow and it was difficult to make a mistake in many places. Fortunately, there were almost no vehicles on this road. They drove smoothly and ran forward.

When I saw a small county town from afar, it was already dark.

This county town is very secluded and there are almost no outsiders to disturb them. In the county town, almost all the local local languages ​​are heard, and no one can speak other languages. This county town is not on a tourist route, which was discovered by this old man.

They found a small hotel in the county town, then walked around the county town, found a stall to sit down and eat.

When they heard them speak Mandarin, the stall owner enthusiastically talked to them: "Are you going to enter the mountain, right? It's about to begin autumn, and it's dangerous to enter the mountain."

Wang Liunian immediately said, "No, I just went in some time ago, and I haven't heard of any danger?"

"That was a while ago, but now it's different. Now it's the beginning of autumn. This is the time when the weather changes most frequently in Tianmu Mountain. Maybe it's summer at the foot of the mountain. When it comes to the mountains, it's autumn or even winter. This is indefinite."

The wife of the stall owner next to him interrupted and said, "It's not just the change of weather. In autumn, when Queen Mother comes down to take a shower, she will see a stranger peek at her bath. When she is angry, she will take the person who peeks at her bath to the sky. You will not be able to come back then."

Xiao Fenxue smiled and said, "What's the matter with Queen Mother taking a bath? It's almost the same for her seven beautiful fairy daughters to take a bath."

"The place where the Seven Fairies bathed is not here. Tianmu Mountain is the Queen Mother's bathing pool, so this mountain is called Tianmu Mountain." The rich old woman continued with some inquiries. "In the past, there were outsiders who went into the mountain to explore to see Queen Mother's bathing, but they didn't come out when they entered, and they didn't even find the bones. The government and the troops were dispatched. They couldn't find it either. You should be careful."

The stall owner glared at his wife fiercely and said, "What are you talking nonsense? Why are you promoting feudal superstition? The government said that those things are talking nonsense and impossible. Our Tianmu Mountain is all primeval forests, and it is easy to get lost in it. After those people enter, they may be lost. There is no such thing as the Queen Mother taking it away. You are purely promoting feudal superstition."

"Why did I promote it? I'm saying this. Didn't you say it a while ago, why did you say it again? Some time ago, Zhang Ergou and his wife from the provincial capital went into the mountains to play, but they never came out again. Ergou's family asked the monk to do rituals, and the monk said that they had been taken to heaven by the Queen Mother, and this was what you told me when you came back."

The stall owner was angry and anxious. He kicked his wife and whispered: "Shut up! You scared all the guests away. Who will eat?"

His wife suddenly realized and quickly said, "Yes, I'm talking nonsense, Queen Mother and other things are all nonsense. The scenery here is wonderful, and many people go to play, the scenery is particularly good, and guests often come."

She explained incoherently, and the old man beside her said, "I have heard of all the things you said, and I also said that there is a deep pool in Tianmu Mountain that does not freeze all year round. The Tanchi Water is the place where the Queen Mother takes a bath. I have been there, and there is nothing strange about it."

When he heard that Wang Liunian looked down on them so much, the old woman was a little unhappy. She immediately stared at her small eyes and said, "What do you know? Old gentleman, the deep pool is called Tianmu Pond, but it's amazing. Even in the hot weather, it's very cool when it reaches it, and it's trembling with cold when it reaches it. It's the divine spring leading to the underworld!"

"What kind of divine springs? The water flowing from the underground rivers is so cold." Wang Liunian said with a smile: "I have been to many underground springs in China, including the ice springs in Xinjiang. That's really cold. Within a minute of reaching into a hand, it freezes into a popsicle, but it's much colder than you. I've been to Tianmu Pond and washed my hands inside, but I didn't feel that it was too cold."

After hearing what he said, the stall owner of the food stall was a little unhappy. He was really dissatisfied with the foreigner belittling the scenic spots in their hometown so much. He said coldly: "I said, "I said, this old comrade, you have walked many places and this. I don't know many places you have seen. Maybe it's really better than this place. But there are things you don't know in Tianmutan. Do you really don't know about this?"

"Oh, what else do I don't know?"

"Do you know how deep Tianmu Lake is? After Liu Huochi, the young man with the best water quality in our county, swam in, and after he came out, he almost got epilepsy. At night, he shouted that there was a ghost and went to many places to cure the disease. After the treatment, they told us that they encountered the water monster below, which scared him half to death. Moreover, the water temperature below was too low, so he almost froze him."

"What's so magical about this? The groundwater is cold, and it's no wonder it's scary."

"I said, sir, you really haven't seen it. Do you know that before Liu Huochi dived down, he was a bald man. The whole county knew it. But after he came back, his bare head had grown black and dense hair a few days later, and his hair was still the same, and he never fell a single one. Do you think this god isn't magic?"

When Xiao Fenxue heard this, he was immediately interested: "Bald has long hair? That's really amazing. If your water is so magical, then you will get rich."

"It's not like that." The stall owner's wife smiled and said, "If it's so magical, we don't have to set up a stall. Liu Huochi has grown hair. However, when others wash their hair with the pool water, there is no effect. So everyone said that it was because Liu Huochi was pitiful by the Queen Mother, so he got his hair done. No other skills are available. It's so deep that it's not going to grow if it's not so deep."

Gu Jianqiu couldn't help but feel moved and asked, "Is this Liu Huochi still in your county town?"

"Hey, just repair the bike not far ahead."

"How far is this Tianmu Tan Pond from the county town?"

"Hey, I'm walking for a whole day. Because it's all primeval forests, there's no road at all, so I have to cross mountains and ridges."

When the old woman saw Gu Jianqiu and the others seemed to go to the Tianmu Pond, she quickly persuaded her: "If you want to go there, I advise you to do better than go, there are monsters under the water there."

"Monster?" Gu Jianqiu asked, "What monster is there?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before. It was said by Liu Huochi who dived. He was frightened by the monster at that time. Later, he finally cured the disease and said that there was a monster below that almost ate him. Fortunately, he ran quickly."

Wang Liunian nodded and said, "I have heard of this monster in Tianmutan. It is precisely because of this that I went there. However, I stayed in Tanbian for two days and didn't find any monsters. I also brought an infrared automatic camera, which would start immediately whenever there was any movement, but I didn't find it. But since I talked about this, I remembered that after I lived there for two days, I began to feel chills and fever all over, and I got sick when I came back. Perhaps it was really related to this pool water."

Xiao Fenxue didn't know what the old man had, but she was very interested in the pool of water and said, "If we can see this monster and take a photo, we will become famous people. Just like the Loch Ness monster, you will soon be famous all over the country and even the world."

"What's the use? If the monster comes out and eats people, it's our luck. You're fine. If the monster comes out, you'll leave." The old woman muttered.

The owner of the food stall said, "There are also people who are as curious as you. A few came two days ago. It seems that they came from Hong Kong and the United States. They came to explore the story. They have already entered the mountain and have not come out yet. I don't know if they have been eaten by monsters."

Gu Jianqiu hurriedly said, "Hong Kong and the United States come? Did they come for that monster?"

"I heard that, it seems to be a biologist or something. The county government also sent people from the armed forces to escort them in."

Gu Jianqiu was a little anxious. If the deep pool was the place he was looking for with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, if someone took the lead, he would go there for a walk. He had to go to the mountain immediately.

Gu Jianqiu said to Wang Liunian: "Old sir, I suspect that the pool water has something to do with your illness. Because your body is very cold, since the pool water is extremely low, you only got sick after you returned from Tianmu Mountain, so I am worried that there are any treatment factors in the pool water or pool water that triggered your myocardial infarction. I want to go to the mountain to see the situation immediately. You are old, why don't you bring your grandson and granddaughter again tomorrow morning, and I will go in first."

Xiao Fenxue said immediately: "I want to go with you! I am not afraid of any monsters."

Wang Liunian also said: "I have traveled around the world and seen many strange things. I never believe in any monsters. I often go out for adventures at night, so don't think I'm older. Maybe I can walk even better than you. Let's go together. - What about your two opinions?" Wang Liunian asked his grandchildren and daughter-in-law.

His grandson and his wife were worried that their grandfather was old and could not enter the mountain overnight at night, but they thought that this time they came out not for fun, but to find out what the pathogen caused their grandfather's illness was. So since the doctor said that, they were not easy to object, so they nodded and agreed. (To be continued)
