Chapter Seventy-Six: Jingmen Water Palace
"Phew!"
Bai Yujing took a sip of the water from the well, and immediately found that the water was bitter and astringent, this was not a freshwater well, but a seawater well, and the underground was connected to the sea.
Bai Yujing and his entourage rushed here after dawn, this time they came here in full armor, carrying a lot of large bags and small bags, but today as long as the situation here is clarified, the specific follow-up action will have to wait for Li Hao's equipment to arrive, the well that Bai Yujing is currently looking at is not the largest well in the center of the village, but the first well discovered by Bai Yujing and others yesterday.
Lin Ruoqiao also tasted the water from the bucket, and frowned bitterly: "What's the use of this well?" You can't drink anything bitter! ”
Bai Yujing leaned on the edge of the well and looked inside: "Who said it's useless, maybe the well here is not for drinking water?" ”
"Don't use it to drink? What else can that well do? Lin Ruoqiao asked.
"Give me the flashlight!" Bai Yujing took the flashlight and shone it on the wall of the well, looking at every corner while answering Lin Ruoqiao's question.
"In ancient times, the well still has a lot of functions, for example, in ancient times, the well will be used together with each other, as a kind of combat crypt, some ancient princes' tombs, also known as wells, I remember reading a book recorded, the well is the tomb of the noble, as if the golden well is also today, the Chu people all say that the tomb of the king of Chu is the well, the Tang Dynasty Han Yu "Ji Yicheng Yi" also wrote, there is a well in the northeast of the post, it is said that it is the well of King Zhao, King Zhao is the king of Chu Zhao, the well is the meaning of the tomb!"
Lin Ruoqiao was impressed by Bai Yujing: "I didn't expect you to know a lot!" ”
"It's nothing, I usually like to read some miscellaneous books, and I like to buy some geographical magazines from the Internet when I have nothing to do, and I look at ancient history or something, it's useless, it's just a hobby." Bai Yujing looked at the wall of the well and immediately found that there was a concave place on the side of the wall of the well.
"Li Hao, you pull me, hold me, I'll go into the well, don't let me fall down!" Bai Yujing put the flashlight on the ground and said to Li Hao.
Li Hao patted his chest: "Don't worry, I promise to catch it." ”
Bai Yujing probed down, enough twice, and found that it was still almost a distance, "A little further down." ”
Li Hao and Lin Ruoqiao grabbed Bai Yujing's feet and lowered them, and Bai Yujing immediately shouted: "Enough is enough!" ”
said that Bai Yujing looked at the side wall, and sure enough, there was a convex place, which was covered with moss, Bai Yujing wiped these mosses down with his hands, and saw a boxy small mouth with a ring inside, Bai Yujing grabbed this ring and groped for it, and then pulled it hard, but there was no movement at all, but Bai Yujing felt that this ring could be pulled, but Bai Yujing's feet were suspended in the air and he couldn't make any effort.
"You two pressed my feet tight." Bai Yujing tried again later, but it still didn't work, this thing can't be pulled with little effort, and this posture can't be pulled.
Bai Yujing immediately tied a rope to this ring, and then pulled it up, "Let's pull it together!" ”
Li Hao looked at the things in the well, feeling a little uneasy, yesterday's situation gave him a lot of pressure, and he was not very willing to come over this morning, or Bai Yujing told him that if he didn't understand the situation here, his physical problems could not be solved, so he was pulled over by Bai Yujing, Li Hao frowned and said after reading it: "What is this?" It can't be a trap, right? ”
Lin Ruoqiao was also very curious, but it was different from Li Hao, she felt very excited: "It's so exciting, is there a baby down there?" ”
Bai Yujing immediately said: "Don't think about it, I'll count one, two, three, and pull together!" ”
"One, two, three, pull!"
The strength of the three of them worked together, and suddenly they saw the rope collapse the ring, and slowly pulled it outside, as the ring moved, Bai Yujing also felt that something was stimulated underground, and then he heard a rumbling sound.
"Don't be stunned, pull hard, pull to the end!" Bai Yujing saw that Li Hao and Lin Ruoqiao were attracted by the sudden movement, and immediately shouted loudly, and the two of them came back to their senses and accompanied Bai Yujing to work hard, and finally heard a grunt, Bai Yujing immediately put down the rope and looked towards the well.
Bai Yujing immediately found that a whirlpool was rolled up in the well, the whirlpool kept rotating, but the water level in the well water kept receding, and the well water rattled, sinking into the bottom of the ground in the shape of a whirlpool, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
Bai Yujing didn't see until he couldn't see it, and the sound of the water was still coming, and finally after a long time, it disappeared in his ears, Bai Yujing and Li Hao looked at each other, "There really is a mechanism!" ”
Bai Yujing was just guessing at first, but now that the facts are found in front of his eyes, he has to admit that this village is not simple, and there must be something important hidden underground.
Bai Yujing was lying at the wellhead, probing underground with a flashlight, but he couldn't see the end, the black wellhead seemed to be able to swallow all the light, but Lin Ruoqiao immediately stuck it up and pushed away Bai Yujing and Li Hao who were lying at the wellhead.
"You two get out of the way, I'll measure the depth!" Lin Ruoqiao stuck it at the mouth of the well, and then threw a plastic flashlight down directly.
After nearly three seconds, he reached the bottom, Lin Ruoqiao looked at the stopwatch, "More than fifty meters, close to sixty meters!" ”
"How can it be so deep!" This is not a plateau area, nor a mountain, it is a seaside, this generation of water resources is also particularly rich, not to mention whether it is necessary to dig such a deep well, you hit the depth of the water directly connected to the water vein, it is difficult to go down, and look at the village and the years of the well, you know that when the well was discounted, there must not be such high-tech equipment as it is now.
Li Hao asked, "Shall we go down and have a look?" Didn't we bring a rope with us, if it was sixty meters deep, it would be enough. ”
Bai Yujing immediately said: "Okay, you go down, I'll take care of the wind for you!" ”
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Forget it, let's wait until the equipment arrives!" I asked people to bring drones and underwater detection equipment over, and then put them down to take a look. ”
Bai Yujing asked, "When will it arrive?" ”
"I guess it's going to be tomorrow morning, and it's going to be afternoon at the earliest, and it's almost dark at that time, so let's stop touching this place in the dark! It's too wicked here at night. Li Hao replied.
Bai Yujing nodded: "Okay, let's first take a look at how many wells there are here, draw a map of the village, and then mark the location of each well accordingly, these wells are likely to be the key clues." ”
Li Hao immediately asked, "What do you think these wells are for?" ”
Bai Yujing thought for a moment, "I can't figure it out yet, but I feel like it is a kind of mechanism written in the water book before, which is used to capture and imprison the fishmen, let's figure out the location first." ”
The three of them immediately divided the labor, and finally figured out the layout of the entire water source village, there were a total of 50 wells in the village, seven horizontal and seven vertical, plus the big well in the center of the village, a total of 50.
"Sure enough, it's Jingmen Water Palace." Bai Yujing took a look at the layout, which was very similar to what was said on the oil paper before.
Li Hao immediately asked, "Then do you know what kind of water palace this is, how to break it?" ”
Bai Yujing said confidently: "I don't know! There is no specific writing on it, only an introduction! ”
Li Hao and Lin Ruoqiao were suddenly a little speechless: "Then what are you pretending to be, isn't this useless?" ”
"Why doesn't it work, at least we know what this thing is for, right? There are a lot of things that can be analyzed from the name! ”
