Old Man Yu is in charge of the Jiaolong Temple. With his nod, the matter of going down into the well will naturally fall into place.
The water in the Changbai Mountain pool was very cold, and it was winter again. The old fish man was afraid that he would freeze to death in the well while watching the tide, so he specially took out the cow float he made.
The so-called Niu Fu Shui, also called pearl hunting clothing, is an ancestral item passed down from Yu Bo's father.
His father was actually a Zhuxuan household in the former Yamen. He was later expelled from Zhuxuan because of his mistakes, and was then coerced by a pearl dealer to become an illegal mining household.
This thing is a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years!
The clothing material used for the cow float is a whole piece of buffalo hide, which is better if it is not broken after being blown for a long time and has strong elasticity. The rich ones will glue thick wool on the lining with paste. If they don't have money, they can stick cotton and linen cloth on the inside to keep out the cold.
The top and bottom pants are completely integrated, with only gaps at the neck and shoulders, which are used to hide the entire body into the clothes.
Once it enters the water, the cowhide will shrink in the cold water and fit perfectly to the body of the pearl diver. Then the wax cloth is wrapped around the neck and shoulders to prevent cold water from entering and keep warm and cold.
How much can it reduce drowning and freezing and keep them alive?
Yue Guanchao knew that Old Yu was heartless but not bad either. He was willing to take this thing out because he was really worried that something would happen to him.
Take off your clothes and seal them with wax cloth.
Yue Guanchao walked from the west chamber to the wellhead, turned the well wheel and pulled up the empty barrel inside.
This well was not a draft well, and Yu Bo didn't know whether the rope was strong or not. Yue Guanchao could only take out a thick rope from the stable and replace it. He strangled his waist and was slowly lowered into the deep well by Ge Da and Ma Chang!
Thousand-year-old wells and century-old tombs, all caves and crypts that have aged have a damp and cold air that is unusually different from the outside world.
According to Master Mao, if there is a gap in the ground, yin energy will naturally overflow. Once this extremely yin energy penetrates into the bones, it will inevitably cause evil winds to enter the body and cause pain.
When Yue Guanchao's head sank below the wellhead, he could immediately feel that his body was much colder.
This kind of coolness is not like the goosebumps caused by the cold wind, but the kind of coldness that hits your lungs when you drink cold well water in summer.
Release the rope slowly and dive slowly.
Yue Guanchao's feet were stuck on the well wall and he slowly slid down. The well wall was a cylinder with a narrow top and a wide bottom. Like the well platform, the well wall was also made of mottled blue-gray masonry.
The roots of ancient pine trees are growing desperately in the well walls, drilling the bricks into arches and depressions. Countless roots are like snakes buried in the soil. There is an unspeakable terror in the silence!
The inner wall of the well lacks the rough cracks from the outside world, leaving only slippery potholes caused by water erosion for thousands of years. There are water lines caused by water erosion at every height.
Over the course of thousands of years, the notches have continued to go downwards, indicating that the water level in the well has continued to decrease.
By the time he dived four meters, his feet could no longer reach the well wall and could even touch the water.
He observed carefully that there was indeed a round arched brick hole facing the river. The green bricks were laid to the top of the hole and half of the wall was flooded by the river water. It was easy to see the black rock slab at the bottom of the well.
"Could it be that the water at the bottom of the well is very shallow?"
At this time, the outside world casts a cool beam of light, and dust flies and fireflies fly around. The sunlight gathers at the mouth of the well and turns into a round jade plate floating on the water, which just shines on the evil mirror in the water.
For a time, the sparkling, clear and translucent well water was like a nectar and moon liquid, casting mottled water shadows on the well wall. There was no hint of bitterness at all. Instead, it was like a fine brewed wine, constantly attracting living creatures to taste it. Learn.
Yue Guanchao assessed the water level, dived half his body, and finally stood at the bottom of the well.
The water level in the well was just as he expected, only hovering around his waist. When approaching the water, the bone-chilling cold was no big deal. What made him unbearable was the smell of corpses in the well water that entered his nose!
Yes!
The smell of corpse, the strong smell of corpse.
Yue Guanchao was born in a rural area, so he naturally knew the smell of a thousand-year-old well. If the well was dry and had no smelly water, no matter how long it took, as long as there was living water in the well, there would be a smell of algae and earth at most, and there would definitely not be the smell of rotting animals.
At this moment, he was standing in well water up to his waist, as if he were in a pool of corpse odor. The rotten smell was spreading everywhere, making him sick.
Yue Guanchao was curious about where the rotten smell came from when the bottom of the well was clear and clean. However, he came to get a mirror and didn't want to think too much. He covered his nose and reached into the well water.
After fishing again and again, Yue Guanchao's fingertips could not touch the bronze mirror at all. This bronze mirror was like a mirage casting a shadow in the human world, and he could not get it out of his hands!
For a moment, he thought of the legend of the Ghost Moon again, and quickly bit the tip of his tongue, feeling the tingling on the tip of his tongue before he felt relieved.
Yue watched the tide for a moment and found that the water surface was indeed very shallow when looking at the bottom, but this did not mean that the actual distance was also the same.
He couldn't catch it even if he stretched his arms to the maximum extent, so he decided to dive into the well water to see what was wrong.
Take a deep breath of air and hold it in your lungs.
Yue Guanchao sank into the water with all his strength. When the pain in his eyes eased, he opened his eyes and looked underwater.
Oops!
There is a cave at the bottom of the well. Under the water is a circular stone trough recessed into the stone slab. The flow of water just covers the groove, making it smooth like a magic trick.
The bronze mirror's light was as illusive as a dream. It was embedded in the grooves and illuminated the pool water as bright as day. Yue Guanchao was also able to see the uniqueness of the bronze mirror.
