Chapter 641: Under the Dry Well
The inexplicable disappearance of the people in the winery made Hu Shuntang and Wei Chi immediately think of the disappearance of Buffalo Dam Village. Could it be that there is a problem with the original history of this brewery? No, to be precise, they haven't figured out how the village of Buffalo Dam disappeared.
After the lobby manager took a sip of wine, he glanced at the waiter who walked by: "This person disappeared so mysteriously, guess what the Taoist priest said?" The Taoist priest said that the subordinate was swallowed by the dragon, because others could not see the dragon, so when the dragon jumped out of the well and swallowed people, it was silent. ”
This kind of words, of course, were once again regarded as nonsense by the owner of the winery, and he felt that he could no longer believe in the Taoist priest, and he had to report to the official. After the people from the government came, they didn't find out what was going on, and as soon as the matter spread ten, ten and hundred, it spread in Chang'an City, and many people wanted to go into the wine shop to see what was going on in the well.
Wei Chi picked up the cup and asked, "Is there anyone missing?" ”
The lobby manager said: "It's scary enough to be missing a person, how many more do you want to be missing?" My grandfather said that the ancestors were really angry at that time, and asked the Taoist priest what was going on, and the Taoist priest said that he was the one who attracted the dragon at that time, and now that the drought has passed, he will lead the dragon away, and the Taoist priest still let the whole family go out for a day with gold and silver, and then come back. ”
This time, the owner of the winery had a lot of eyes, although he did take the whole family out like last time, but he sneaked back alone and hid in the winery, wanting to see what the Taoist priest was doing, whether there was really a dragon here.
In fact, the owner of the winery would not believe in any dragon, but he felt that there must be something greasy in it.
Sure enough, an hour after the owner of the winery and his family left, the Taoist priest and a large number of people entered the winery, but they did not come to steal things, but set up a stand by the well, tied a rope, and went down to the well by one person.
The owner of the winery looked strange and didn't understand what they were doing, could it be that there was really a dragon in this well? But it didn't take long for him to see through the crack in the door that a pitch-black coffin had been lifted directly from the well.
The moment he saw the coffin, the owner of the winery almost exclaimed, he covered his mouth to prevent himself from calling out. The owner of the wine shop wanted to report to the official, but he was afraid that it would be too late, so now he ran to the official mansion and brought people back, the Taoist priest and this group of people had long been gone, so it was better to follow them quietly and see where they were going to take the coffin, maybe they could figure out what was going on.
After the Taoist priest and his subordinates lifted the coffin and carried it out of the winery, they loaded it and transported it away. The owner of the winery was not reconciled, and quietly followed behind, and found that the convoy was going extremely fast, and it was going directly in the direction of Shu Road.
At that time, there were only three roads to Shu, two of which were dangerous roads, for the army soldiers, these two roads could be a surprise attack, but for the car transporting the coffin, it could only take the relatively stable road.
However, the owner of the winery was soon discovered by the Taoist priest, who directly rode a horse and turned around to find the owner of the winery who was hiding behind and following him.
The owner of the winery was frightened at the time, thinking that the Taoist priest was going to kill his mouth, who knew that the Taoist priest just said: "You go back, forget what you saw today, you have two choices, the first is to continue to open the winery, but you will go through a difficult period, after which your children and grandchildren will be rich and prosperous, and the second is to close the winery, go back to the countryside and become a rich man, and you can live the rest of your life in peace." ”
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he left, and the owner of the winery was shocked, of course, he did not dare to chase it anymore, returned home, and told his family everything he saw, and the family understood why there was such a strange smell in the wine brewed before, and it turned out that a coffin was placed in the well. But why did the Taoist priest put the coffin inside? What's in the coffin? Why is the well fuller than before after the coffin is placed?
Of course, the owner of the winery did not choose to close the winery immediately, but continued to do business, but he did not dare to use the water in the well anymore, so he could only let people dig the well again, but the strange thing is that no matter how the well is drilled around, there is no underground water, no water, how to make wine? The water from the river did not taste like that, so the owner of the brewery was ready to take the risk of using the water from the well again, and it was at this time that the well dried up.
The lobby manager said: "It's really strange that the well dried up overnight, there was not a drop of water, and the soil at the bottom of the well was dry and cracked." ”
There was no water in the well, and there was no water from other places, so the brewery had to be closed, but it was not sold, and it was always there. Years later, when a well was drilled around it, there was groundwater, but the well was still dry, and no one could figure out what was going on.
It seemed necessary to go to the bottom of the well to have a look, but before that, Wei Chiran still asked, "Didn't you go to the bottom of the well to see what was going on?" ”
"Why didn't you see it, I did." The lobby manager sighed, "At that time, I went down the well, and it cost a lot of money, because no one wanted to go down, and finally invited someone who was not afraid of death, and after going down, he said that there was nothing below, but the wall of the well was full of some strange symbols, and I didn't know what those symbols meant, no one could understand it, and it was very evil, so there was no other way than to close the winery." ”
Hearing this, Wei Chiran and Hu Shuntang decided that after the restaurant closed tonight, they would definitely go to the well to see what was going on. After the two inquired about the situation that no one was on duty after closing, they grinded with the lobby manager for several hours, and when it was closed, the two checked out and left, waiting not far away, waiting for the people of the restaurant to almost go, and quickly entered through the back door that had been observed before.
After the two entered the restaurant, they came directly to the location of the wellhead, and after tying a rope to the side, it was still Wei Chi who took the wind and Hu Shuntang went down to check.
While Hu Shuntang went down, he first paid attention to the wall of the well, and the strange symbols mentioned by the lobby manager were obviously heretical ciphertexts. Hu Shuntang took pictures of the ciphertext one by one, these are clear clues, maybe he can know where the soul coffin came from and how it disappeared.
After taking the photo, Hu Shuntang came to the bottom of the well again, touched the soil there, and found that although the soil was indeed dry, it was a little strange, and the composition of the soil did not look like that of the Chang'an generation. After thinking about it, Hu Shuntang decided to take a risk, after he went up, he asked Wei Chiran to take a few buckets of water from the kitchen, pour them into the well, and then go down to observe, Hu Shuntang found that after the water was splashed, the dry and cracked soil quickly moistened and became soft, just like Yan Dang dug out the cotton soil in the well.
The two of them did the same, pouring water into it until the dirt was completely soft, and Hu Shuntang decided to go in and take a look.
While Hu Shuntang got into the dirt, he clung to the rope, and although he finally got out of the soil, there was nothing but scarlet below, just like a living person entering a real nightmare.
However, in the scarlet space below, there were a few iron chains hanging from them, and I don't know what they were for, there were no other things in it, no buildings, no people, nothing that looked threatening, and it could only be judged that the soul coffin was hidden in this space under the dirt before, not directly in the well.
Hu Shuntang climbed up and told Wei Chi about the situation, and then, the two simply packed up their things and left quickly, if they didn't clean up, they were afraid that someone would find that the soil below had changed, and there would definitely be extraneous branches at that time.
After returning to the hotel, as soon as the two entered the house, someone knocked on the door, and when they opened the door, they found that it was Gong.
Wei Chi was stunned: "Why are you here?" Are you stalking us? ”
He said lightly: "I don't have the kung fu to follow you, I follow the person who is following you, this is a master, you haven't found out, right?" ”
Hu Shuntang was surprised that he really didn't find out that he was being followed, so he asked, "Who is following us?" ”
Gong walked to the window and looked outside: "The person of the Dark Ear is the top tracking master of the Dark Ear, I can only solve him for fear of accidents." ”
Hu Shuntang asked, "How did you deal with the corpse?" ”
Gong looked at Hu Shuntang: "Don't worry, it's very clean, it won't be easily discovered, even if it is found, it won't be traced back to us, I have nothing else to do, since I helped you shake off your tail, then I should go." ”
Wei Chi Chi said jokingly: "Thank you, but don't follow us, this feeling is very uncomfortable." ”
Gong glanced at Wei Chiran: "Do you think I am willing?" It's not because Lao He doesn't worry about you, but now he is indeed on the same front as you. ”
After he left, Wei Chiran passed the photos he took to He Changqing one by one, because there were too many photos, He Changqing had to work overtime tonight, he asked the two of them to rest first, he would translate the ciphertext into text, and send it to them early tomorrow morning.

In the No. 1 world, Zhan Tianya had already led the torture technique and the Modui Bridge to Gaoligong Mountain in Yunnan Province at the fastest speed, and did not stop after arriving at the Lujiang Dam of the Gaoligong Mountain generation, and drove directly up the mountain, and then rode along the trail to find the waterfalls and hot springs that Chen Kaili found along the way.
Gaoligong Mountain is a mountain range, not a mountain, so Zhan Tianya has been prepared to look for it here for a long time. He thinks that the mystery is here, and this trip to search is four days, and within four days, although several waterfalls and hot springs have been found, none of them are the locations Chen Kaili said.
The suspicion of torture may be due to the fact that the real-world terrain has changed so that they can't find it.
Zhan Tianya said: "It will take decades or even a hundred years for the terrain to change greatly, according to the time of the real world, it is only a few decades from the eve of the great destruction to the great destruction, and it is impossible for obvious topographic changes to occur, I guess we are in the wrong position." ”
The team had to stop for a while, and activated the drone swarm to search and search, this search took several days, but this time it paid off, they finally found a waterfall in the depths of the mountain, and there was a hole under the waterfall, and what was even more bizarre was that the drone would lose signal as soon as it approached the hole.
It seems that Zhan Tianya seems to be close to the answer.
When the team rushed to the location discovered by the drone non-stop, through comparison, it was almost confirmed that it was the location that Chen Kaili said, and in this world, is there also the machine that Chen Kaili said in the cave?
