"Mr. Yan, it seems to be completely sealed inside. You can't even feel the airflow." Ghost Marquis said.
Su Muzhe and Song Beike both nodded, "That's true. If we continue like this, we will run out of air very quickly."
It was pitch black before my eyes, and I didn't know what to do. The soles of my feet felt a little strange, so I was extra cautious when stepping on the soft soil. We stopped and walked for more than half an hour, and felt that the stone road began to appear.
The smell in the air changed subtly. Su Muzhe took a breath and heard him say something strange: "The wind is coming."
I swallowed, "Senior Su, what's going on?"
Su Muzhe continued: "There seems to be an air current on the other side."
We leaned against the wall of the cave, and suddenly a sense of clarity came over us, "Good guy, it's really windy." Fatty Yu became happy, "I won't be suffocated to death now."
"This means that Shen Fang has reached the entrance of the cave, so the outside air will come in." Mr. Yan said.
At this time, Daozi caught up from behind, brought the necessary equipment, and was able to see the light again in the dark truth. I took a sip of water, cleared my throat, tried to eliminate the remaining drunkenness, and said, "Where will this passage lead to?"
Su Muzhe and Song Beike looked at each other and smiled, "This is 100% a tomb passage. It is very likely that we have entered the real dragon."
"Enemies!" Ning Tutu squatted on the ground and carefully considered the soil on the ground. "This soil is not newly dug. We can smell it as soon as we smell it."
I raised my flashlight and looked up. The tomb passage was about ten meters away from the ground above. It was very wide, four to five meters high and seven to eight meters wide. There was mud in front of it, but here the ground was covered with green. Bricks, water seeped out from the walls, and it felt chilly to the bones.
"This generation turned out to be a swamp, with a very shallow water layer and serious water seepage. Coupled with the special geographical environment of the mountains and valleys here, the terrain is already low-lying, so it is so wet and muddy. If our judgment is correct, the things inside are afraid It's almost soaked in water," Su Muzhe said.
"Fortunately, this tunnel is still strong and there are no signs of collapse, otherwise I would be really worried that we wouldn't be able to enter." Song Beike said.
After walking along the tomb passage for a few minutes, four passages in different directions appeared in front of him. Ning Tutu became anxious and asked: "Brother Ghost Eye, how can we deal with this?"
Song Beike pointed forward and said, "Based on my impression, this tomb passage should run east-west. I only visited the swamp when I first came here, but my general impression will not be wrong."
We continued walking in the direction he pointed, and not long after we saw a stone case in front of us. There was a square stone box on it. We weighed it with a knife and weighed about twenty kilograms. When we opened it, we saw that inside But it was empty.
Fatty Yu shook his head in disappointment and said, "It's really disappointing, there's nothing."
The road ahead was pitch black and I couldn't see the bottom at a glance. I looked inside with my flashlight and saw nothing. The wind coming out of it made my skin crawl.
I lay down on the ground and listened close to the ground. "There seems to be the sound of water down there?"
In the empty tomb passage, except for the echo of footsteps and the sound of water, there was no other sound.
After about the time of walking a cigarette, a pavilion appeared in front of it. It was built on a hillside and covered with glazed tiles. It had four pillars in front and eight openwork doors and windows. There is a standing statue of King Yu in the middle, with his right hand holding the dragon's head and his left hand holding an iron chain tightly, showing a majestic look. There is a deep well in front of the statue, covered with huge rocks.
The well looks like an ordinary well. The well railing is made of round stones. Although it looks like it was built by man, it has a natural and simple feeling.
I looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see anything special. I used a flashlight to shine inside, but I couldn't see the bottom. I thought: "Why is there a statue of King Yu here?"
"The sound of water you just heard should be from this Suolong Well." Mr. Yan said.
"Longjing lock?" Huai Rujin and I were both surprised.
"I've heard about Suolongjing a long time ago. I thought it was just a folk rumor. I didn't expect it to actually exist." Huai Rujin said.
According to historical records, during the period of Yao and Shun, floods flowed across the world, the plains were flooded, and the people were in dire straits. King Yu relieved the people's difficulties and led them to control the floods. At that time, there was a dragon in the Huaihe River, making waves. When it saw that King Yu's control of the water had exposed the mountains and stabilized the seas and rivers, endangering the Dragon Palace, it led its soldiers and crab generals to cause the tide to become dangerous and prevent King Yu from controlling the water. King Yu ordered his subjects to stand on the top of the mountain, waiting for the dragon to come up, and then hit it with rolling logs and talc. The dragon fought repeatedly and retreated. The dragon was defeated and his descendants were scattered. King Yu jumped into the water, tied the mother dragon with a rope, dug a deep well at Gaofu, set up stakes, and locked the mother dragon into the well, so that she would never stand up.
Fatty Yu said: "I heard my grandfather say that during World War II, the Japanese invaded Beijing. At that time, they did not believe that there was a dragon in the Dragon Well, so they lined up their troops to dig the chain in the well. After talking for nearly 20 days, the chain head was also gone. There was no road, but as the road went further, a sound in the chain well became louder. The Japanese were afraid and didn't dare to talk, so they put the chain back. As soon as the chain was put back, the sound disappeared. My grandfather saw it with his own eyes at that time. of."
There are several large iron rings on the well railing, and there are several large iron chains that have sunk into the well. The chains are heavy and covered with rust. The giant chain was straight and sunk into one end of the well, as if something heavy was falling. When I got closer and took a closer look, the thick chains suddenly shook violently, causing ripples in the water.
Several of us couldn't help but take a few steps back when we saw the chain falling vertically into the water shaking.
"There is no wind in this cave, and there are no waves in the water. How can such a heavy chain shake out of thin air? Is there really a dragon hanging underwater by a giant chain?"
I forgot to glance at Huai Rujin, who also looked confused and shook her head.
"Good guy, I have encountered countless adventures in my life, and I have seen some weird things, but I really can't find any clues about this dragon-locked well. But when it comes to the secrets in this ancient tomb, the only way to risk it is to take the iron chain Pull it up and see what's underneath." I thought to myself.
At this time, Ning Rabbit patted Su Muzhe and Song Beike nervously and said, "Two of you, do you think there is a monster locked in this well?"
"Ning Tutu, I said you are so cowardly, why did you come down in the first place!" Su Muzhe mocked.
"You can't say that. If there is something, we should not be alarmed. Otherwise, we will suffer disaster. We will fail in our efforts, right?" Ning Tutu said.
Song Beike saw that little bit of Jiujiu in him, and deliberately scared him, saying: "Yes, yes, King Yu subdued the dragon. There is probably a dragon locked in this dragon well. Don't act rashly, lest you cause disaster."
I couldn't help laughing while listening to their jokes. However, while he was laughing, he glanced at the surrounding situation and thought in his mind, "This is a mountain basin, and it used to be a swamp. Looking at the Feng Shui situation, I'm afraid no nobles would be willing to build tombs here. The underground water is too high." Duo, the coffin rotted not long after, there is no way anyone would be stupid enough to build a tomb here."
"But -" There was a turning point in my thoughts, "Judging from the previous two situations, these ancestors obviously wanted to hide the tombs. The more remote the mountains and rivers, the more unexpected they were. Therefore, Senior Song's judgment should not be wrong. . But, what is going on with this Suolongjing, and why does it appear here? Could it be that he wants to worship Dayu here?"
Su Muzhe looked around in the cave and came back and said, "I took a look at this cave. It is obvious that there are traces of digging by two groups of people before and after."
"That's right. This pavilion should have been built later. I found cement on the ground." There was a piece of cement in Dao Zi's hand and he said with a smile: "In addition, I looked at those iron chains, and they are actually connected to one in the corner. The reel is used to control the lifting and lowering."
As I said that, I reached out and touched the chain. I saw that the chain that had sunk into the water was still shaking slightly. It probably wasn't being washed away by an undercurrent.
"Is it true that the person tied by the iron chain is a dragon?" I also started to wonder.
Lord Gui ordered Dao Zi to prepare to pull the iron chain. Fatty Yu and Dao Zi respectively grabbed the two rings on the iron chain and said with determination, "Master Gu, we are ready. No matter if it is a dragon or a snake, we are here." Just pull it out!”
Ning Tutu didn't wait for Fatty Yu to finish what he said, and rushed to say: "You can't pull it, you must not pull it. The iron chain is tied to the dragon that King Yu surrendered. If you pull it up, you will have to break the sky, but you don't dare to Do."
I actually have no idea at the moment, "Even if the thing below is not a dragon, it is still a difficult thing to deal with. I think Shen Fang and the others have built such a newly built Longjing Well here, so there is no way they are looking for trouble. There must be something to say. Even if There is danger, with Mr. Yan and Master Gu here, what else can we do!"
So, I mustered up the courage to say to Ning Rabbit: "Boss Ning, you can't just listen to what the fortune teller, Senior Song, said. To put it bluntly, he also became a monk halfway. He may not have known for eight thousand years before or afterward." Five hundred years, right?”
Song Beike nodded in agreement and said, "You're really right. I just make a living."
Of course Ning Tutu knew that he had been lured into a trap by the two of us singing along, but he couldn't argue, "Looking at the situation, you must pull him out?"
"You said it's just a fairy cave. What can we do if we try to break in?" Fatty Yu said impatiently, "Boss Ning is too forward-thinking. There are so many of us. If a monster really comes up, we can't bite it first." It’s up to you, at worst we can just let go and put it back!”
Su Muzhe didn't answer. He walked straight to the well railing, glanced at Daozi and Fatty Yu, and said, "Give me the chains and stay out of the way for now."
"No, he wants to pull it up by himself?" I was immediately dumbfounded. "They say that Su Muzhe is a very powerful martial artist. If he can pull up the chain with one person, that would be amazing."
Fatty Yu came back and said to me: "I've just weighed whether this guy is crazy. Just picking it up is difficult. How can it be possible for him alone?"
