Chapter 11: There Are Dragons in the Capital 5
"In fact, many people know the story about Longtoujing, and now that street is called Longtoujing Street." Jia Anshun said of the well near his home, "Although it has now become an abandoned well, there used to be a story related to auspicious signs. ”
It is said that the water in the well is clear, and when you look down, you can clearly see your head. But this name is not always so auspicious, human head, human head, who knows whether the human head is on the ground.
The name was changed until a certain year when there was a great drought, because of the drought that year, other wells did not produce water, only this well continued to produce water, which was life-saving water. People were curious, saying that there was something peculiar about the well, and that someone had seen the dragon's head shaking in it. Is it because of the blessing of the dragon king, so that the people will not die of drought and thirst, so that there is continuous well water?
Such a thing was naturally reported to the imperial court, and the emperor was also very curious about it, so he sent someone down to find out. The officer who had come looked into the well and saw a faint dragon head, and then he heard the chirping of magpies. When I looked up, the magpie stopped on the kiss of the temple owl, and the reflection in the water was like a dragon's head, which should be the dragon's head seen by the people.
Although there is no real dragon, the magpie is also a good omen, and the well that can continue to produce water in the great drought day has spread, and the human head well has become a dragon head well over time, and this street has also become a dragon head well street.
"Dragons?" Mu Feng instinctively grasped the word, "There should be a lot of rumors about dragons in the capital as an imperial city, are there any rumors about locking dragons?" ”
Jia Anshun almost immediately thought of the legendary ancient well in Beixinqiao, it is rumored that when the capital was established in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the capital found a few sea eyes, among which there was a dragon, in order to prevent the dragon from making waves and flooding the capital, so Liu Bowen thought of a trick, put the dragon under the Beixin Bridge, tied a heavy chain to its body, trapped in the lock dragon well, and covered it with a temple to suppress it.
There is something evil about this lock dragon well, the chain was touched once when the neon soldiers invaded, and it was moved once a few years ago when the four old ones were broken. Of course, the result was the same, and no one moved, because as soon as the chain moved, a strange sound could be heard from below, like the churning of the sea, and more like the howl of strange creatures.
Mu Feng listened to this and coincided with the scene in the dream, it was too similar! He imagined that the well was bottomless, but it was not dark without sunlight. At the same time, in his dream, he also heard a strange sound of water, and a sound that was not a human language, this sound was somewhat familiar, but unfortunately he couldn't simulate it, otherwise he could let Di Jiang hear if this was the language of the dragon clan.
Mu Feng arrived at the Dead Person's Zhai with such doubts, and when he went upstairs, he saw Ying Yi looking at the newly collected ancient jade. "Boss, is the dark red in this jade really blood?"
Ying Wei put the ancient jade in the white porcelain bowl in front of him, poured water into it, and saw that the dark red in the jade slowly turned bright red.
"Who knows? People say that the blood of the corpse is soaked in the jade to have blood jade, this explanation is much more mysterious than the invasion of the iron element into the ancient jade, human beings are both in awe of the mysterious things, but also have a fluke, always thinking that science can explain a qiē. However, since the rumors have been circulated, there is always a truth to it, and there may be three truths and seven falsehoods, depending on whether the false can be retained. ”
Mu Feng felt that Ying Feng said that he didn't say it. Actually, Mu Feng didn't care about what was going on with this jade, but he was annoyed by that dream these days, and he couldn't sleep well all the time. Mu Feng is a simple person, and he plans to find out and figure out this matter.
"Boss, can you lend me this jade for two days? I want to go to that well and see it. ”
When Ying Wei heard Mu Feng's words, a dark light flashed in his eyes in an instant, so fast that people couldn't tell the difference. "Yes!"
Ying Wei almost did not hesitate to push the white porcelain bowl containing the jade in the direction of Mu Feng, but he immediately blocked Mu Feng's action of taking the jade with his hand. "I have only one condition, to go and see with you. I don't think you will be a person with extra curiosity, what happened, is there something wrong with this piece of jade? ”
"En......" Mu Feng suddenly looked up at Ying Wei, I don't know if it was his illusion, I always felt that the tone of the boss's question just now was not like concern, but with some strange excitement. However, Mu Feng only saw Ying Rebellious with a straight face, in fact, basically Ying Rebellious rarely had an extra expression. I should have heard it wrong, but the boss cares about the employees.
"There's something wrong with it." Mu Feng was popularized by the shopkeeper Zhang on the first day he came to the store, that is, how can he walk by the river without getting his shoes wet. Always in contact with antiques, that is, always in contact with underground things, it is inevitable to encounter one or two bizarre things, no fuss, everyone's luck is different, some people will encounter more, some people encounter less, if you encounter don't hide it, you can think about it together.
If these words had been placed two months ago, Mu Feng would definitely not believe it, but now that he is surrounded by a red-haired sparrow waiting to find his head, can he still not believe it? Although Mu Feng thought that he did not have the physique to encounter strange events, the Gu Yu he encountered this time must not be simple.
"I've been dreaming these days." Mu Feng told Ying Disobedience about the situation in the dream, "Boss, do you say that there is really a dragon in this capital?" In addition to locking the dragon well, I heard my roommate say that there are other rumors about dragons in the capital, since there are so many rumors about dragons, none of them are true? ”
That's a mistake.
Even if ordinary people hear more rumors, they will only say that the imagination of people in the past is really rich, how can there be so many rumors of dragons, instead of asking which one is true in disguise.
Ying Wei had a guess in his heart, I am afraid that Mu Feng is inseparable from the missing copy drawings. Although Ying Wei himself didn't know what the words recorded on the drawings were, let alone whose tomb it was, because the origin of the drawings was strange, as if it appeared in his head out of thin air, and it was also to solve his own doubts that he came to the capital and opened this widow's house.
Follow people who encounter strange things, and you can always find some answers.
Ying Wei thought a lot in his mind, but he was stunned for only a moment, and he quickly remembered the question of Mu Feng, is there really a dragon in the capital?
"There used to be, didn't you say that the Son of Heaven was a dragon? There's a dragon sitting on the Golden Luan Palace, isn't there? ”
Mu Feng obviously didn't want such an answer, he asked about the legendary true dragon. "I'm asking about the legendary real dragon."
Ying Rebellious's eyes darkened, if there is really a legendary dragon, when this kind of dragon meets the emperor dragon in the world, who controls whom? Judging from the legend, the emperor of the Zhu family sent Liu Bowen to suppress the evil dragon, and the dragon with special abilities did not fight the emperor of the world.
"When two tigers fight, one will be injured, let alone two dragons. How could an emperor allow something that threatened imperial power to appear. ”
"Boss, you're talking a little far." Mu Feng didn't know why Ying Wei thought of it, they were just talking about what was locked under the well.
Ying Wei shook his head, a little dissatisfied with Mu Feng's attitude of not seeking much understanding, and just wanted to say that he couldn't know what it was and didn't know why, but he swallowed it back. For these strange things, most people stay away, and Mu Feng doesn't want to fall deeper and deeper, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Then let's talk about the things in front of us, since this piece of jade made you have this kind of dream, then hurry up or not, let's go and see it now."
Ying Rebellion has all the equipment here, including flashlights, rope ladders, shovels, etc., this equipment is really familiar, so Mu Feng has to wonder if the boss has nothing to do with the tomb robber, right?
"Let's go, while the sun doesn't set, let's go and see what is going on in that ancient well." Ying Wei didn't seem to see Mu Feng's inquiring eyes, there are some things that don't need to be explained, and they will always know after getting along for a long time.
