Wang Lun's room
Mei Ruoshui is supporting Wang Lun to walk slowly on the ground, according to Wang Lun, you have to move your muscles and bones, otherwise you will always lie on the bed and get sores. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At Wang Lun's insistence, Mei Ruoshui finally agreed to help him up and walk back and forth in the room. But after all, the injury on his buttocks was more serious, so Wang Lun grinned in pain.
"Ruoshui, do you think I can go down the well tomorrow with this injury?" Wang Lun asked Mei Ruoshui, who was holding him on the side.
"What, you're going down the well? This is not going to work, what if something happens? Mei Ruoshui said in surprise with wide eyes.
"It's just a show, and I won't go down to the bottom, and I've thought about it, when the time comes, take a long hemp rope and tie a big basket at one end, and tie it to the other end to be dragged by you and Song Wan and others, and then tie a few bells to the hemp rope, you will know my situation when you listen to me ring the bell." Wang Lun said patiently, after all, this is the closest person in this world.
God, you didn't let me die like this when you got me here, did you? Wang Lun said in his heart.
At noon the next day, next to the Ganquan Well
Wang Lun and the others stood beside the Ganquan Well, looking at the red gas bubbling from the mouth of the well, listening to the roar like a ghost's howl, and the expressions on everyone's faces were different.
A thin man hiding in the middle of the team, with obvious excitement in his eyes, was thinking in his heart, how Wang Lun was pushed down this Ganquan Well by his brother, and then he would be able to avenge the death of his brother and brother. Didn't you just pick up two weapons, and as for cutting off your head?
At the same time, there are also many people with sympathy in their eyes, this king leader is actually not bad, but for the sake of the whole cottage, there is no way, how can manpower win God? The well god is angry, that's terrible. And many more are numb.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Wang Lun thought to himself, these ancient people were more superstitious, but it seems that he can also use this point for a while, hehe......
Turning his head to Du Qian, he said, "Are the incense paper offerings ready?" ”
"Everything is ready, brother." Du Qiandao, who had a bitter face.
"Okay, incense case, let's sacrifice to the god of the well." Wang Lun said loudly.
When everything was ready, Wang Lun led everyone to worship and worship Ganquanjing for the benefit of the world.
After worshipping, Wang Lun said to everyone: "Okay, now I'll go down to the well to see why our great well god is angry, and see how to resolve it?" ”
After finishing speaking, he said to Mei Ruoshui and Song Wan: "Where is the prepared rope?" ”
"Here, brother," Song Wan hurriedly ran up.
"Okay, then I'll go down first. If I ring the bell for a while, you will pull it up, and just one ringing of the bell proves that it has reached the bottom, and there is no need to put it again, you know? Wang Lun told Song Wan and the others: "Okay, if Lord Jingshen really wants to keep me, everything in Liangshan will obey Mei Ruoshui's orders, and you must help her manage everything in Liangshan." Wang Lun stared at Du Qian, Song Wan and the others.
"Brother, don't worry, my brother will definitely return safely." Du Qian and the others said this, but they were really bottomless in their hearts, and tears rolled in their eyes. In the morning, they jointly persuaded Wang Lun, but Wang Lun's mind could not be changed.
In this way, Wang Lun sat in the basket, took a torch in his hand, and slowly went down the well.
Wang Lun took advantage of the faint light of the torch to carefully inspect everything on the surrounding well walls.
The walls of the surrounding wells are unusually dry, there is not a trace of water vapor, not even a little fresh moss, and it feels as if this is not a well.
After descending almost twenty zhang deep, Wang Lun finally reached the bottom of the well.
At this time, the bottom of the well is also abnormally dry, and there is no water at all. According to folk theory, there will be floods next year, which is not a good sign.
He stepped out of the basket, grabbed the twine and shook it vigorously, then began to look around the bottom of the well with a torch in his hand.
It's strange, there's nothing, why is there a red glow and a ghost howl at the mouth of the well?
By the faint light of the torches, I began to search carefully inch by inch.
About half an hour later, I heard another ghostly howl.
Wang Lun followed the sound and slapped a few times on one side of the wall, and suddenly his hand touched a little protruding stone, and he felt the stone shrink back towards the wall.
Then I heard a clicking sound, and I saw that the wall of the well, which had not yet had a single gap, now revealed a passage that could accommodate two people walking side by side.
Wang Lun thought about it, anyway, he had already come here, whether he died or lived was left to fate, and after thinking about it, he stepped in.
A burst of moldy smell came, Wang Lun hurriedly covered his nose, fanned himself with his hand in front of his nose and said, "What the hell is it?" Did I accidentally break into someone's tomb, and why did it smell moldy? ”
He muttered and slowed down. Then the glimmer of the torch slowly looked at the walls on both sides of the passage, for fear that he would accidentally step on some mechanism and kill himself.
There was a sudden clicking sound under his feet, something shattered, and then Wang Lun heard the sound of bones rolling.
In an instant, Wang Lun's head and face were covered with cold sweat, and his heart was beating rapidly.
Carefully shining down with a torch, I saw Wang Lun's right foot stepping on a bone that had already weathered, and the sound of the bone rolling was made when the other round bone that was broken by Wang Lun rolled down the steps.
Seeing this, Wang Lun stretched out his hand and patted his chest, let out a sigh of relief, and made a false alarm. Then he continued to walk down, this time more slowly, not only on the walls on both sides, but also on his feet and overhead.
After walking for about half an hour, I finally reached the end of the passage.
I saw a luxurious hall appear in front of Wang Lun's eyes.
The four walls are inlaid with countless night pearls, illuminating the entire hall in fine dust.
The decoration of the whole hall is extremely luxurious, the ground paved with white jade, the pillars of white marble stand at the four corners, the walls around are all carved from white stone bricks, the orchids carved from gold bloom charmingly between the white stones, and the cyan gauze curtains ripple with the wind.
On the left side of the hall are a white marble table and two jade chairs, and a pair of blue and white porcelain vases are placed on the jade table, and there are a few unknown flowers in the vases, and I don't know how long they have been placed, but they are still bright.
There is a jade bed on the right, but there is nothing on it, including a mattress, a quilt, and so on.
In the middle of the hall there was something resembling a cone, I don't know what it was, and from a distance it looked like a person, but I couldn't make out the appearance of a person at all.
I saw that the height of the thing was seventy or eighty centimeters, the diameter of the bottom could be about one meter, and the diameter of the top head could be about thirty centimeters.
What is it? What kind of place is this? Wang Lun was thinking in his heart.
"Little guy, who are you who dares to trespass on my cave?" Suddenly, a hoarse and ugly voice came from the cone-like object.
