Jiang Yingnian took a sip of wine with a taste, and then said, "This is the tasting house of the collection office, there are three such tasting houses in Yanjing, and there are basically all provincial capitals. Mainly some uncertain things, organize people to taste first. Some of our masters are very strange, such as someone who needs to take a shower first, someone who wants to drink or smoke, and someone who needs to sleep for a while after reading something. Therefore, the tasting house is basically a residential style, which seems ordinary, but it is not an insider, and it is actually difficult to get in and out. ”

"It's all such an open community?"

"Of course not, this building is the first tasting house, in fact, more than 40 years! However, the interior of the house has been renovated several times since then. ”

Tang Yi was slightly taken aback, because from his appearance just now, this building could be more than thirty years old, but he didn't expect it to be old.

"Come on, come on, don't stop chopsticks, try my craft."

The two of them drank and ate while it was hot, and after a while, Tang Yicai smiled and said, "Director Jiang, you called me here, it's purely green plum cooking wine?" ”

"You kid, ask knowingly, of course not!"

Tang Yi paused, "However, I haven't thought about the World Exhibition Ceremony yet!" ”

"I'm not in as much of a hurry as you think. I'm looking for you to talk about it, not about it, but about talking about your grandfather, my big brother Zhanyun. ”

Tang Yi lit another cigarette, "I've never seen my grandfather, even my father, I know very little." ”

"The original 0503 was a highly confidential department, and later changed to the early days of the collection office, and it still retains a mysterious color. Your grandfather doesn't say much to his family! Jiang Yingnian took a sip of wine and picked up a piece of braised bamboo shoots in oil, "When I first joined, I followed your grandfather." Although the time is not very long, it has been ······ since that encounter with Huluan But surely there are more people who know than you. ”

Tang Yi smoked silently and did not interrupt Jiang Yingnian.

"He was very particular about eating and drinking, and of course he was very good at studying antiquities. In this tasting room, he is the protagonist of the out-and-out protagonist, and the kitchen is also his request. ”

"I told you about the encounter with Huluan, and these fragmentary descriptions are nothing. Today, I want to say something else. Don't get me wrong, it's not me who convinces you by telling old stories. As for you, it's a legitimate situation to know a little more about your grandfather. ”

"Your grandfather taught me a lot. He is ten years older than me, when we first started working together, I called him Director Tang, and he answered in public, but in private he asked me not to be so angry, and then in private, I changed my name to Brother Zhanyun. ”

"Once, he and I went to a small town in the area around Yanjing. In this town, at the east end of the main street, there is an ancient well. The reason why we went was because we heard that some villagers had salvaged gold ornaments from the Ming Dynasty when they were fetching water, and wondered if there was some mechanism in the well and some antiquities hidden. ”

At that time, communication was not developed, and when Tang Zhanyun and Jiang Yingnian arrived at the place, they found that this ancient well was actually a locked dragon well.

In China, there are many legends about the lock dragon well, and there are several places that have actually been discovered.

Lock Longjing, roughly has the following characteristics: first, the ancient well. Second, the wellhead will extend into the well with one or several iron chains, and it is generally not known how long they are. Third, if you want to pull the chain, you often can't pull the head, and legend has it that the chain is locked with a dragon, and if it moves, there may be floods. Fourthly, many people believe that such wells are "sea eyes", that is, they are connected to the sea through underground water veins.

Yanjing folk also have similar legends, such as the Beixinqiao Lock Dragon Well.

It is said that Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao found that Yanjing has several sea eyes, one of which is in Beixinqiao, and there is a dragon in it. In order to prevent flooding, they used iron chains to lock the dragon, and this Beixin Bridge was also built at that time for the town guard.

In the years of the Republic of China, when the Japanese devils called, they did not believe in evil and forcibly pulled the chain that locked the dragon, but they pulled a few streets, and it didn't come to an end. At this time, black water suddenly appeared in the well, and there was a deafening strange sound. Frightened, the little devil didn't dare to pull it anymore, and sent the chain back.

There are even rumors that when the subway was built a few years ago, in order to protect an ancient well in Beixinqiao, it was detoured as far as possible.

After all, legends and rumors are just rumors, but the ancient well that Tang Zhanyun and Jiang Yingnian saw is indeed a locked dragon well. On both sides of the wellhead, there is a stone pillar each, and on each stone pillar, a thick iron chain is tied, and the two iron chains are close to the wall of the well and go deep into the well water.

Looking down from the wellhead, the water surface of the well is about seven or eight meters away from the wellhead, and the water quality is not bad. Many people in the town have come here to fetch water, but no one has ever touched these two chains.

Tang Zhanyun and Jiang Yingnian first found the person who fetched water and made gold ornaments. Later, it was determined that it was a golden hairpin, and it was indeed something from the Ming Dynasty.

After another visit, the people in the town have different opinions about the age of this well, some say the era, some say the Qing Dynasty, and some even say it earlier.

"Moreover, our visit has been targeted, it is okay to take a closer look, but if you want to explore further, many people in the town are afraid of angering the dragon god, and they will not let them live or die." Jiang Yingnian looked at Tang Yi, "Do you know how your grandfather solved it?" ”

"Didn't you use some kind of Xuanmen technique?"

"Your grandfather is indeed familiar with the art of Xuanmen, but he used a very scientific method."

Tang Zhanyun contacted people from the local water conservancy department, and then contacted experts from Yanjing. However, not an archaeological expert, but an expert in geology, finally, not far from the town, found a tomb group of the Ming Dynasty, which was buried deep and connected to an underground river.

The gold ornaments were brought to the well through the underground river, and then inadvertently salvaged by the water man.

"About the lock dragon well, your grandfather gave me such an explanation." Jiang Yingnian said, "Before this incident, I always thought that mastering Feng Shui and metaphysics was the most important thing in this industry. As a result, your grandfather used scientific means to solve the problem. ”

Tang Zhanyun believes that locking the dragon well is not a "real dragon", but a water vein, to put it bluntly, an underground dark river. What are the consequences of a well that happens to open up an underground river channel?

If the water flow is high, it may emerge from the wellhead and spread. Baotu Spring knows that the water coming out of the spring can form a large pool of water, and if the water of the underground river gushes out of such a large "pipe" at the mouth of the well, it is possible to flood the town. Isn't this the dragon being angry?

So what does the chain do? One or two or more iron chains, if long enough, will accumulate in the "openings" of the underground river, and the iron is heavy enough to stop the water from gushing. Even, if the design is clever, it is possible to control the level of the well water by adjusting the iron chain.

Since the chain is very long, it is difficult to pull it out completely. At the same time, the legendary black water emerges, which may be stagnant water hoarded near the iron chain site; And the huge strange sound is the sound of the dark river flowing after the chain is pulled out.

The odds of hitting a golden hairpin are very small. But since it happened, it's likely that it came through a dark river. By contacting people and geological experts from the water conservancy department to determine the direction of the dark river, and then further investigating according to the surrounding soil and some clues, Tang Zhanyun finally identified the nearby Ming Dynasty tomb group.
