Chapter Forty-Seven: Kidnapping?
I've also looked up pictures of this urban legend on the Internet before, and the Cangxiang Suolongjing in Nanjing City is indeed an ancient well connected to a thick iron chain.
But shouldn't this kind of well with historical value be protected as a historical label for this old street?
How did it end up in this old man's home?
"Hello old man, I came to visit you by Wu Chun's introduction, and this is my friend." I bowed respectfully and greeted.
The old man took a small bamboo bench and sat on the edge of the well, and put the cup of hot tea in his hand directly on the edge of the well, "I know, I know, I smell you." β
Smell me?
I recall that when I was at Gangzi's house before, Ah Jin had been smelling me, could it be that there would be a strange smell on my body when I learned the mantra?
The old man took a sip of hot tea, turned his head and spit out the tea leaves he had drunk into his mouth into the well, "What is the matter with you coming to me?" β
"That's right, Wu Chun got your guidance not long ago, so he asked me to find the soft gold vertebrae. So I think you must know the Gu Dao technique very well, so the junior came to visit and want to ask you, where can I find this soft gold vertebrae?. β
After listening to my words, the old man closed his eyes and nodded, and after a moment, he opened his eyes a little tired.
But instead of answering my question, he asked me, "Do you know what kind of well this is?" β
I took a step closer, glanced at the darkness in the depths of the well, and couldn't help but panic a little in my heart, "The junior has checked, this should be the Cangxiang Lock Dragon Well." β
The old man nodded but shook his head, "It's true that it's called Lock Dragon Well, but there is no dragon in the well, it's all a lie." β
I didn't expect this old man to be so scientific, it stands to reason that a person like this who lives in seclusion in the downtown area but has a deep understanding of Gu Dao art should be a fanatical believer in the field of metaphysics.
Unexpectedly, he directly overturned this ancient urban legend.
I was respectful and silent, and the old man continued: "Almost all the locking dragon wells throughout the ages have only been the emotional sustenance of the king and the people about the fear of floods and the importance of water control. They always think that the overturning of the river and the sea is caused by the evil dragon and evil Jiao, so repairing a locked dragon well can be regarded as a kind of psychological comfort. β
What the old man said is very reasonable, and this is also a scientific explanation for the phenomenon of locking dragon wells on the Internet.
But why did he tell me this?
Is he trying to persuade me to give up metaphysics and study science hard?
Seeing that we didn't speak, the old man smiled slightly on his old face covered with folds, "But there is really a dragon tied under the locked dragon well in Kunming." β
This reversal was something I didn't expect, but even so, the topic was pulled away, after all, this is not what I wanted to ask.
"The old man, the younger generation has been taught. But I still want to know where exactly I should go to find the soft gold spine. β
The old man took a sip of hot tea and sighed happily, "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, go." β
I hurriedly nodded, "Thank you!" It's the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yunnan! β
The old man waved his hand a little impatiently, as if to push us out, "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Hehe Cave, but you have to remember that the burial hall is not so easy to get out after entering." β
I know how dangerous it is in the Funeral Gu Hall, but this time I am for the second sister, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to go, after all, I am the only person in this world who can help her.
Say goodbye to the old man, I took Ah Jin out of Cangxiang, just walked on the street, my mobile phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.
I have never answered strange phone calls, and information leaks are not uncommon these years, and I guess there must be a young man on the other side of the phone who speaks broken southern Mandarin, and then asked me if I want to buy a shop or a house.
I cut off the incoming call, and before I could put it in my pocket, the number called again.
It rang seven or eight times before it stopped, and I picked it up.
As soon as the earpiece was attached to the ear, there was a rough roar on the other end of the phone, "Hey! Where are you! β
I've never encountered such a horizontal harassing phone call, so I immediately slammed back, "Who are you, do you talk to your dad like this?" β
The voice on the other end of the phone was directly raised, and my ears were numb, "Where did you tie up my sister!" If I find out he's missing a hair, I'll bury you in the ground!! β
His sister-in-law?
I took a cool breath between my teeth, how did this man's voice sound so familiar?
Just as he was thinking, the man cried out again, "What about you!" I'm on your doorstep! Get the hell out of here! β
It dawned on me!
It's Gangzi!
"Who the fuck kidnapped your sister, Ah Jin came to me by himself!"
Gangzi didn't give up, "I'll fuck you, she texted me, you kidnapped her!" β
"Huh?"
I looked at Ah Jin with a depressed face, Ah Jin directly took out the mobile phone I bought for her yesterday and flipped out a text message pestle to show me in front of me, I looked at it and was stupid at the time.
The text message was sent last night after I installed the calling card, which happened to be shortly after I taught Ah Jin how to send a text message.
The content is-
"Brother, you come to me, I'm in Wu Yan's hands."
There is also an MMS picture attached to the text message, the picture is the note I left at the beginning, but Ah Jin didn't take a good picture, only took a picture of the complete address and half of the mobile phone number.
No wonder Gangzi didn't call me for the first time, and it took a long time because the mobile phone number was incomplete.
Then you don't have to guess, my phone number must have been given to Gangzi by the security guard at the door.
But why didn't Gangzi call Ah Jin directly, thinking of this, I looked through the notification bar of Ah Jin's mobile phone, and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls from Gangzi in it, and then looked at it, Ah Jin put the mobile phone on silent.
After returning home and meeting Gangzi, I invited him to a meal at the small restaurant in front of my house, which was considered to clear up the misunderstanding, and I also told Gangzi about the next trip.
After eating, Gangzi planned to take Ah Jin home, but Ah Jin was unwilling, he refused to leave anything, he didn't even want to go out of the restaurant gate, and said Brother, if you take me home, then I will die at the door of my father's room to show you.
I've never heard Ah Jin say such a long sentence, and Gangzi doesn't know what to do.
In the end, it was just my sister who loved me, so I said I would go, but my brother wanted to follow you, and he would follow him step by step.
I was a little curious when I got out of the hotel, Ah Jin should be a little stupid, but why did she send a message to Gangzi to ask him to come to me, what is the intention here.
After I asked, Ah Jin's answer surprised me a little, and even made Gangzi clench his fists.
Ah Jin told us expressionlesslyββ
My brother said that if you find a partner, you must call him to take a look.
