Chapter 376: Lock Dragon Well (1)
When it was too late, hundreds of sharp arrows flashing with cold light suddenly pierced through the frozen soil and ice and snow, and shot out from all around the stone monument! Everyone looked up and saw a rain of arrows in the sky, almost unavoidable!
Gongsun Lan's eyesight was superb, and when she saw that under the snowlight and moonlight, the blue light at the arrow flashed slightly, she secretly screamed badly, and quickly reminded the other three: "Poisonous!" ”
Yang Zheng's knife technique opened and closed, jumped up, and resisted the sharp arrows above the heads of him and Gongsun Lan one by one, and Yuexi and Nangong Hai were a little difficult to resist in a panic, but fortunately, they were standing far away, and half of the strength of the arrow rain had been unloaded in front of them.
The four of them were in danger, and the old man couldn't help but curse: "Beishan Xiao is like his old man, he is a despicable and shameless person!" "The temperament of the Beishan royal family is quite conceited, on the one hand, they are cautiously guarding against the comeback of the dark master, and on the other hand, they want others to think that they are not afraid at all. Therefore, the secret trick has always been in the front, and the dark trick is in the back.
The current emperor has a fight with the previous emperor, and his children's generation, this temperament has been inherited from the three princesses.
Yang Zhen ignored Nangong Hai's complaints and said, "Fortunately, it's winter, and the arrow has already unloaded part of its strength when it pierces the ground, otherwise it may not have time to react." If someone else comes, I'm afraid that I will be plotted. ”
Originally, Nangong Lie wanted the clansmen to come to visit, but Gongsun Lan was afraid that there was an ambush here, so he lost his manpower. It's better for a few of them to come over, it's really not good, and they can't run away. She stared at the stone slab and said, "I just turned to the left, and there was a rain of arrows in the sky, if I turn to the right, I don't know what will happen?" ”
"I can only try."
Yuexi heard Yang Zhen say this, so he said: "The two masters wait a minute, it is better to let the old man Wansheng pass, he is fast, and if there is any danger, he can run fast." ”
Nangong Hai blew his beard and glared when he heard this: "Little girl, do your best!" Even so, he had already walked forward automatically.
He has a good body and skills, and few people can match his light body kung fu, so he naturally has great leg and foot kung fu. The three of them silently watched him walk to the stele, stretched out his toes, leaned against the stele, and forcefully reached the right, and then withdrew and hurriedly withdrew from the distance! And just after he retreated to Yang Wei's side, several gray smoke suddenly erupted from the cracks in the stone stele!
Undoubtedly, this smoke is certainly not a good thing either!
The four of them hid until the smoke had completely cleared, and then they returned to the vicinity of the stele. Gongsun Lan and the three of them turned their heads to look at Nangong Hai in unison, Nangong Hai pointed at himself speechlessly, and said, "It's me again?" ”
Gongsun Lan said: "This stone tablet seems to only be able to rotate left and right, you can turn it back to the middle and try it." ”
Nangong Hai had no choice but to step forward and turn the stele again, and the stele made a "click" sound again and again, as if there was a huge gear rotating in the ground, and then with a "boom", the position of the stele sank down about a zhang.
"It seems that there is a mystery in this."
The four of them stepped forward and saw that the original stone monument had become a small platform, and there was a stone staircase attached to it, and the entrance of the cave was large enough for an adult to pass through.
Yang Zheng said: "I'm in front. ”
Nangong Hai frowned and said, "Be careful, I'll cut it off." ”
The four of them rubbed down the entrance of the cave, and after walking through a narrow stone staircase, it gradually opened up. I didn't encounter any more mechanisms on the way. It's just that after everyone went down to the bottom, they were a little dumbfounded.
"Why nothing?" Yuexi turned around in confusion and looked around: "Where is there a place where I can place the seal?" ”
The stone chamber is empty. Nothing but a well in the middle of the ground.
Gongsun Lan touched the stone walls made of huge rocks around him, and wondered, "Is there any secret passage in the mechanism?" ”
Nangong Hai guessed: "They won't spend a lot of gold and silver to build any underground palace specifically for the Tibetan seal, right?" ”
"It's really impossible, and it's not necessary."
Yang Zhen walked to the edge of the well and took a closer look. I saw that the round wellhead was covered by a heavy iron cover. The iron cover is carved with this dragon pattern, and there is a hole in the middle, at the entrance of the hole, an arm-thick iron chain extends out, and a circle is wrapped around the stone protruding from the edge of the well, and if you look closely, there are many runes densely engraved on it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "That day the master wouldn't have thrown the seal into this well, right?" ”
Gongsun Lan walked up to him, looked at the coiled dragon engraved on the lid that sealed the wellhead, frowned slightly, and said, "The meaning of the dragon has always been noble and majestic. Why do I think this dragon ...... Fierce face? ”
When Yang Wei heard this, he looked at the dragon carefully, and saw that the dragon carving's teeth and squinted eyes, and the two corners were sharp and black, like a fierce beast, and the aura was awe-inspiring! He looked at the chain again, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.
Seeing that he seemed to have thought of something, Gongsun Lan couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Is this a locked dragon well?"
"Lock the dragon well?" When Nangong Hai heard this, he immediately ran to the well to watch, and Yuexi also came over in surprise and asked, "What is the lock dragon well?" Locked up the dragon? ”
"If the legend is true, it is indeed a dragon locked in it." Yang Wei is a member of the Da'an royal family, and he knows more legends and secrets than the other three, so he stroked the iron chain and said slowly: "According to legend, in ancient times, there was a vicious dragon that brought disaster to the world, churning endlessly where the eye of the sea was, flooding the city. Later, the Mighty One descended from heaven and turned his magic weapon into chains to trap the evil dragon, and built a well on the eye of the sea, covered it with a seal, and trapped the evil dragon. ”
Nangong Haihun didn't care and said: "It's just a legend, if there is really an evil dragon, I really want to see what it looks like with my own eyes." ”
Yang Zhen knew that he didn't believe it, and said: "Naturally, there are many people who have the same opinion as you, and legend has it that there are many people who do not worship gods and Buddhas who come to pull the chains. Want to see what's down there. ”
"And what was the result?" Nangong Hai rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to try to pull the chains.
Yang Zhen looked at him and said, "It's either dead or crazy." ”
Nangong Hai was stunned, a little unconvinced: "So evil? ”
"It is recorded that there was an uninformed person who was curious to pull the chains at the mouth of the well, but heard an unusually terrifying sound from the situation, and the well water turned up yellow pulp, and the fishy smell hit the face. The man was so frightened that he didn't dare to pull the chains anymore. ”
"Later, there was a noble son who did not believe in evil, and sent people to pull it for more than 20 days, but the iron chain did not reach the end, but heard the rumbling sound and water sound at the bottom of the well, and the fishy smell accompanied by a strange low roar, and then the well water even turned blood foam, those people suddenly did not dare to move, and hurriedly returned the iron chain from the well, but unfortunately, after that, these people did not escape the doom, either died or went crazy."
Yuexi was terrified by what he said, and couldn't help but lean on Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "Even if there is no evil dragon in this well, if the seal is thrown into the well, I am afraid it will not be easy to take it." ”
Nangong Hai scratched his head and asked, "Then what should I do?" Could it be that you have given up so much? If you really want to re-take the material to make a seal, you will definitely make Beishan Xiao laugh off his big teeth. ”
Yang Wei looked at Gongsun Lan and asked, "Do you believe it or not?" ”
Gongsun Lan looked at the wellhead and thought about it, and said, "I didn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it." "Speaking of which, isn't her rebirth, the life in which she and Venerable Lu Ya were masters and apprentices, even more incredible?
The four of them looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
"Why don't we pull it twice?" Nangong Hai looked at the strange chain engraved with runes and said uncertainly.
Yang Zhen and Gongsun Lan glanced at each other and nodded.
Seeing this, Yuexi shuddered for a moment and said, "Okay...... In this case, if something really happens, it should be a long sight......" As she spoke, she squeezed Gongsun Lan aside and said, "Slave and maid come and pull." ”
Gongsun Lan looked at her with a warm face and said, "How can you pull it alone?" ”
Yuexi stepped forward and tried it, although the iron chain was not moving, but it seemed that there was a thousand catties of things falling to death, and with her strength alone, she couldn't lift it at all. The four of them had to work together, and the chain was slowly pulled out of the small hole in the middle of the manhole cover.
At first, there were only the voices of four people in the stone chamber and the friction of the iron chains, until the iron chains were pulled out about seven or eight feet, and there was really a sound of water splashing in the well.
The four of them made a move, and subconsciously pulled out the iron chain a few times, and then they smelled the turbid yellow pulp faintly overflowing from the mouth of the manhole cover, like boiling hot water, tumbling violently, and faintly accompanied by a strange dull roaring sound......
Several people stopped and took a few steps back. Yuexi covered her nose and said, "My God, there is really a strong fishy smell!" ”
"Are there really dragons?" Even if Nangong Hai is well-informed, he can't help but be shocked in his heart at this time, such an evil well, it can't be a water ghost inside, right? Compared to the water ghost or something, it is the dragon that makes people feel more credible.
Seeing that the water splashed more and more, there were gaps around the manhole cover, and the originally tightly fitting manhole cover was actually misplaced. The four of them subconsciously took two steps back, Yang Zhen and Gongsun Lan both stared at the entrance of the cave tightly, and Nangong Hai said, "Or...... Shall we go back in chains? ”
Gongsun Lan said calmly: "If the legend is true, if you go back to the chain, you will become a madman and lose your life, it is better to see it is believing!" ”
The splash of water became more and more violent, as if a dragon had lost the suppression of the runes on the iron rope and was trying to break free. The manhole cover engraved with the fierce dragon was turned over little by little, completely revealing the wellhead.
Only then did everyone faintly see the wall of the well through the churning splash, which was actually made of four-colored bricks and stones. Cyan, black, gray, red and other colors are distinct, especially the red bricks, the color is bright, in this gray and abrupt stone chamber deep well, it is particularly eye-catching.
Yang Zheng subconsciously pulled Gongsun Lan behind him and said, "It doesn't seem to be a good situation, let's retreat to the top one by one first." If there's something we can't resist, we're better off outside......"
