Chapter 830
Fan Jiannan first made a phone call to Wu Jinshan and agreed to meet at Mount Tai Tianjie before going up the mountain with Feng Yuan.

Taishan Paradise Street refers to the section from Tianmen Gate to the east to Bixia Temple, with a total length of about one li and a section of road north from Nantian Gate, about 100 meters long. It is called Beitian Street and Daiding Tianjie Street. Street, formed a unique custom.Think about it too, a large number of pilgrims and tourists go up the mountain, they always need to stay and eat, so Tianjie came into being.It is impossible to determine when the Tianjie was formed, but the large-scale pilgrimage to the mountain began in the Western Han Dynasty, and the Tianjie serving pilgrims should probably be synchronized with it.

Fan Jiannan, Feng Yuan and Wu Jinshan agreed to meet at a Shenqi hotel in Tianjie.Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan also booked a room there by the way.When they arrived at Shenqi Hotel, Wu Jinshan was already waiting for them there.After the three of them returned to the room together, Fan Jiannan told Wu Jinshan what he thought, and showed Wu Jinshan the location he had circled on the map.Because Wu Jinshan is a local and a Quanzhen Taoist who secretly guards Dai Temple, he knows more about Mount Tai than anyone else.

Wu Jinshan looked at the drawing that Fan Jiannan gave him and thought for a while, "There are three locations circled on this drawing, and I can take you to any of them. But there are a few questions."

"Oh? What's the problem?" Fan Jiannan asked.

"This place, from the map, should be the Great Rift Valley. It's near Qiujiadian Town, TA City. The rift valley is hundreds of meters deep, which fits the characteristics of the earth's orifice you mentioned. However, it has now been developed Yes. The scenic spot uses the groundwater resources in the rift valley to create a drifting underground river landscape. So according to my judgment, this should not be the location of the ground orifice." Wu Jinshan said slowly, "There are two reasons for this. The first is that It is the fault zone of Mount Tai and Mount Culai, strictly speaking, it is already on the edge of Mount Tai. Second, it has been deeply developed, if it is where the orifice is, it should have been discovered long ago."

"Oh?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "Then what about the other two places?"

"This place is also unlikely, because it is at the foot of Mount Tai. It was called Qiuzai Bay in ancient times, but now it is the Hushan Reservoir." Wu Jinshan said with a wry smile. "I told you a long time ago that after years of development, even if this is an ancient ruin, it is already unrecognizable now."

"So there is only this last possibility left?" Fan Jiannan looked at the last circle drawn on the map and frowned, "Then what is this place?"

"Black Dragon Pond." Wu Jinshan said after looking at it, "I think if there is a possibility of earth apertures, then this is the biggest place."

Fan Jiannan frowned, "Why is that? And where is this Black Dragon Pool?"

Wu Jinshan thought for a while and said, "This is a very dangerous place."

"Dangerous?" Feng Yuan frowned, "You mean the terrain is steep?"

"Everyone in Tai'an knows that Heilongtan is a very dangerous place. There are cliffs and waterfalls on the top, and deep pools below. The locals generally dare not approach it. People drown in Heilongtan every year. And people fall and their bodies can't get up. They often come from Some people say that the bottom of the water is connected to the 73 springs in Jinan, and some people say that it is connected to the sea. It is said that someone sprinkled a bag of bran in the Black Dragon Pool, and a lot of bran appeared from the Baotu Spring in Jinan the next day.” Wu Jinshan smiled and said, "However, no one has ever confirmed this legend. I've been there, and the water surface is very calm, and the water is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance. It's not scary at all."

"So, it is likely to be an underground dark spring?" Fan Jiannan mused, "The map of the Five Sacred Mountains refers to the same ground orifice, could this be the reason?"

Wu Jinshan shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics. But I've been there a few times, and I always feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's too humid and cold. But the place is not far away. On the way to Tianwai Village, we can go there. By the way, we can learn about the situation from the local old people."

Wu Jinshan and Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan went on the road together and arrived near the Black Dragon Pool.This happened to be a small park, where some old men were drinking tea and playing cards.Fan Jiannan began to inquire about this matter, of course he did not inquire directly, but asked about the Black Dragon Pool by the way after making a detour.The folk customs here are simple and honest, and the old people are very warm-hearted.Anyway, a few old people are retired and have nothing to do. They often get together to chat and drink tea. While chatting, they make tea for Wu Jinshan and Fan Jiannan.

"When my third uncle was fishing there when he was young, he couldn't stop fishing and slipped down. Fortunately, he was rescued by someone. I think it's best for everyone not to go to the fan cliff of Laolongwo. There is moss there, which is very slippery. It will fall, and the Black Dragon Pond is very narrow, so it looks very dark, and the water can absorb people, so you'd better stay away from it." The old man shook his head and said. "I heard from the old man that in the past, someone sprinkled a bag of bran into the Black Dragon Pool, and a lot of bran emerged from the Baotu Spring in Jinan the next day."

"This Black Dragon Pool is like a vat. It has a small mouth and a big belly. Once you enter, don't even think about getting out. No one can get out, yes, no one can get out." Another old man nodded.

An old man shook his head and said, "This Black Dragon Pool connects yin and yang. It flows directly from the yin and yang boundary to the waterfall and goes straight to the mouth of the pool. Ordinary people know the principle of dripping water through rocks, so after tens of millions of years of waterfall erosion, its depth can be imagined. Moreover, the belly of the pool is smooth, as the saying goes, "the pool is thousands of feet deep, and the water does not stir up waves." Not only does it not stir up waves, but because the waterfall rushes down vigorously, the water that floats up from the walls of the pool rushes from the middle to the bottom of the pool along with the waterfall. Go. This vortex is so powerful that even a good swimmer can hardly resist the suction of the sinking. So as long as you go down, you won’t be able to come back alive.”

An old man next to him was unconvinced, "What's wrong with this Black Dragon Pool? It's okay, I used to swim there when I was young. I used to swim there when I was young, it's okay. What's wrong?"

"You know what a fart, that's your life! Black Dragon Pond? Ahaha, outsiders don't go there casually, in case the soul is taken away by the water monster-shh, you can't talk nonsense, old man I can't control my mouth." These old people chattered and said everything.

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "How deep is the Black Dragon Pond? Has no one ever measured it?"

"As for the depth of the pool, I don't know. Although it is said that the Black Dragon Pool looks more than ten meters deep, in fact I know it must be greater than 500 meters. In the early years, my friends and I came from other places to make a special An experiment, I brought a few rolls of fishing line that night, the total length must be more than 500 meters, we guys tied a heavy object at each end and lowered it slowly. I still find it unbelievable until now." The old man shook his head and said, "Oh, you said Black Dragon Pond, I know that people die every year in this Black Dragon Pond, and they drown one after another, and some of them can't even find their bodies. I advise Don't go."

These retired old people are free to drink tea and talk about ancient times.Some say that the Black Dragon Pool is dangerous and weird, while others say that the Black Dragon Pool is very ordinary.Some say that the water in the Black Dragon Pool is very shallow, and some say that the water in the Black Dragon Pool is very deep.Moreover, these old people were quite angry, and they started arguing among them.

The old man who claimed to swim there often when he was a child, and the other old man who said that strangers should not get close to Heilongtan, blushed and had thick necks.If it hadn't been late autumn, he would have wished to take off his clothes now and swim in the Black Dragon Pool to prove his words.

This caused Wu Jinshan quite a headache, and Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan were helpless.Not only did he not ask anything, but he was busy persuading the old man to calm down.Just in case the old man was really excited, went swimming in the pool, and made trouble.It's not that he will definitely drown, but now that the air bubbles in the water, even a good person will get sick from the cold, let alone this old man.

After all, he was finally persuaded, but the old man was still a little annoyed, and said to Fan Jiannan, "Don't listen to their nonsense. It's not a big deal in that place. The water is deeper, but it's not as evil as they said. It's true that someone drowned. Yes, but most of them are people who are not able to swim. By the way, I have evidence."

"Evidence? What evidence?" Fan Jiannan couldn't laugh or cry, "Aren't you going to swim in the pool again to prove it? Forget it, forget it, let's not argue about it. The weather is so cold, it's not worth it if you go down and catch a cold."

"No, I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the evidence that I went to the Black Dragon Pool to swim." The old man said seriously.

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Is there any evidence for this?"

"I was young at that time, and I made a bet with some friends to go swimming in the Black Dragon Pool, and I dived in." The old man sighed, "I was probably not as old as you are at that time. Probing the bottom of the Black Dragon Pool, the water was too deep and the surroundings were slippery. As a result, I couldn't hold my breath and almost failed to come up. When I was in the water, my hands scratched and caught something in the crevice of the stone. "

"What?" Wu Jinshan frowned.

"Looks like a handle, made of copper. It seems that there is a row of handles going down on one side of a pool. It is probably similar to this mountain road. Someone built it on purpose, but I don't know when it was built. It should be It’s been a long time. I choked on a few sips of water and was a little flustered, so I scratched and stomped around. The copper handle was probably embedded in the cracks in the stone, and it was rotten after a long time, so I grabbed it out. "The old man explained, "That handle was kept at my house a few years ago, and it must have been lost in these years."

Wu Jinshan and Fan Jiannan glanced at each other, then turned to the old man and said, "Are you sure there is a handle on the stone wall below the Black Dragon Pool?"

"Then it's fake?" The old man glared and said, "Why, you don't even believe me?"

"I believe, I believe. Of course I believe." Fan Jiannan nodded repeatedly. "But do you remember where the row of handles is?"

"It's on the stone wall on the side of Heilongtan, but it can't be seen from above. It takes several meters to touch it, and it seems to extend all the way down." The old man recalled.
