There are many places in China where there is a legend of locking the dragon well, the most famous is the ancient well in the north of the new bridge in the capital.

According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang was called emperor, the people were not able to live due to years of war, so it caused the wrath of the Dragon King and planned to flood the city of Beijing. The Dragon King finally found a spring connected to the sea near Dongzhi Gate, and when he was proud, he was suppressed by Yao Guangxiao with a sword in his hand. Yao Guangxiao locked the dragon king under the spring with two iron chains, and there was the later lock dragon well.

But the legend is a legend after all, the capital of Zhu Yuanzhang's period was in Yingtianfu, that is, Nanjing, and Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing after he became the emperor, so this legend must have been made up by later generations. But there is indeed a true record about this lock dragon well: during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the little devil invaded Beijing, and it was suspected that the Eighth Route Army used the iron chain to lock the dragon well to hide in the well. So the devil wanted to pull out the chains, so that the people inside could not come up, and force them to disarm and surrender. As a result, after pulling for a long time, not only did I not see the end of the chain, but I also heard a low and deep roar. The little devils were very frightened, thinking that the chain led to the sea, and that the other end must be locked with a dragon, and they did not dare to go near the well again.

Regardless of whether the Suolongjing in Beijing is true or not, Elder Lu now tells me that the well in Linggu Village is also called Suolongjing, and legend has it that hundreds of years ago there was a dragon at the bottom of the well, blessing the nearby villages with good weather and good weather. Later, for unknown reasons, the dragon disappeared, and the iron chain leading to the bottom of the well was broken due to corrosion, and it was long since it was removed. Since then, the Suolongjing has become an ordinary well.

Is the Suolongjing in Linggu Village and the falling dragon incident in Yaochi Reservoir just a coincidence, or is there really a connection in it?

If I were just a regular high school student, I wouldn't believe in these weird things. Why am I a member of the supernatural circle, I've seen all the demons and monsters, even if there is a dragon, there's no fuss, right?

After bidding farewell to Elder Lu, I asked Zhang Chen, who was in hiding, to join me at the foot of the mountain and go to Linggu Village together.

After Xu Xia disappeared, the case of complaining about the well was over, but there were no more cases of children falling into the well and drowning.

Speaking of which, the grievance well case is indeed quite bizarre. At first, it was a woman in the village who led her four or five-year-old son to the well to wash clothes, but she was too careless to notice that the child had tumbled into the well, and by the time someone rescued him, he had already drowned. But this is only the beginning of a series of tragedies. The day after the child was buried, there was another six-year-old in the village

The little boy was lost, and everyone searched for a long time, and finally found his body in the well. The child also drowned, but his parents did not go to the well to wash his clothes, and no one knows when he ran to the well and how he fell into the well.

Gradually, some people in the village said that the ghost of the first child was not gone, and he began to look for a replacement for the dead ghost. As long as a child is near the well, he will be pushed down, and then he can be reincarnated himself. Because of this, no one dared to take the child to the well, and the two families who had died of the child had a conflict and fought in the mourning hall of the second child.

Who would have expected that a wave would not be settled, and another wave would arise. There is a family in the village who bought a child from outside a few years ago because they could not have children. The child was abducted by human traffickers, was injured on the road, lame on a leg, and usually did not go out at all. One day, the boy could not be found, and at first the family thought that he had run away, and then they did not know who proposed to go to the well to have a look, and only then did they find that another one drowned.

This time, the whole village was in an uproar, and the family began to suspect that someone had stolen the child and threw it into the well. Because the abducted child has bad legs and feet, it takes a long time to walk from home to the well, and it is impossible for no one to find out. However, the police came to investigate indiscriminately, but no fingerprints or footprints were found, and the child did not have a specific time when it was lost, and the family found out that it had been lost for no longer a long time, and it was difficult to investigate the alibi of the villagers. Until now, several cases have remained unsolved.

"No matter how you look at it, this case looks like it was artificial." Zhang Chen pondered.

I nodded, agreeing with his reasoning: "If the children who died in front of them find a substitute for the dead ghosts, it means that their ghosts can't leave the lock dragon well, in that case, how did they let the last two children run to the well by themselves?" ”

"Go to the Lock Dragon Well and have a look?" Zhang Chen proposed.

I also have this intention, the case has been going on for many months, and the child's family will definitely not want to be asked about the sad things again, so we might as well go to the scene to see it first. Moreover, it was because of the information provided by Elder Lu that we came to investigate the connection between the two cases, and the lock of Longjing was our target.

The lock dragon well is halfway up the hill behind the village, and the location is easy to find. When we arrived at the well, we saw two wet watermarks on the ground, and it seemed that someone had just come to fetch water. I put my head to the edge of the well and looked down, the well was so deep that I could faintly see the reflection of the water, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

I looked at the reels next to the well and said, "Let's get a bucket of water and see." ”

Zhang Chen turned the handle and quickly fetched a bucket of water, which looked cool and cool, and there seemed to be no problem. Could it be that there is no yin at all here, or is it that the main owner has long left, so there have been no more accidents in the past few months?

At this time, Zhang Chen took out a small lilac ball, threw it into the bucket and said: "This small ball is specially designed to detect water ghosts, if there is dirt in the water, the small ball will turn red." The heavier the yin qi, the darker the color of the ball. ”

"You're a litmus ball, aren't you?" I jokingly said, because isn't the litmus reagent turning red when it is acid? But I know very well in my heart that yin qi cannot be explained by scientific common sense, and it does not affect the acidity and alkalinity of water. There are many magic weapons like this kind of ball, which can be bought in the supernatural market, and none of them are against science.

After half a minute, Zhang Chen scooped up the ball and did not change color.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Chen turned the ball around, revealing the part that he was grasping with his fingers at the beginning, and it was actually slightly red.

I glanced at Zhang Chen's red coat, and just now he took out the ball from his coat pocket, so I asked, "Are you sure it's not your clothes that have faded?" ”

Zhang Chen took out a new ball and said, "Look, it's all clean." ”

He then threw the ball into the water as well, and when he took it out, it turned slightly red.

This shows that there is a very weak yin qi at the bottom of the well, so weak that people can't detect it at all, and it must be detected with a magic instrument.

"I can only go down the well." I say.

"Okay, I'll go find you a cowhide rope." Zhang Chen immediately responded.

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "When did I say I went down the well?" ”

"I can't swim." Zhang Chen spread his hands, showing that he couldn't help for a while.

I snorted helplessly, "Then you always drink water, right?" ”

I said in my heart, how deep can the water at the bottom of the well be, at most it is not above your shoulders, and you still want me to do coolies in conjunction with your Tianyi case?

In the end, of course, Zhang Chen was very reluctant to go down the well. I was only responsible for squatting at the mouth of the well, pulling the rope and watching the clouds roll in the sky.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chen went for more than an hour.
