The statue was an old man, with white hair and hair, dressed in a green shirt, holding an artemisia in his left hand and pinching out the finger of peace in his right hand.

I was stunned, this person's dress was not Buddha or Taoist, he was just an ordinary ordinary old man, how could he be worshiped as a god?

"Who is this?" I asked nameless.

"Chen Silong, I told you before, the ancestor of Pai Jiao." Nameless said.

I just understand, it seems that our previous conjectures are all correct, and the strange thing in Luoshuihe is indeed because the people in the sect have been mixing.

After that, we carefully inspected the temple in the building to see if we could find any valuable clues.

The most eye-catching thing is that in the center of the temple, there is an octagonal well, and the mouth of the well is quite large, enough for five people to go down at the same time.

The well was unfathomably deep, and on the octagonal side of the well, there was a thick black iron chain hanging down to the bottom of the well.

I broke the pieces of wood from the rotten wooden table beside me, threw them into the well, and it took a long time to hear the sound of falling water, and it was estimated that the depth of the well should be at least 100 meters, and the water below the well, I don't know where it connects.

Xiao Xiyue asked Nameless, what are these eight chains used for? Is it convenient for people in the well to climb up and down, in and out of this building-in-the-middle temple?

Nameless shook his head, saying that it might not be for this purpose.

"Probably to lock something up." Nameless said.

As soon as Nameless's words fell, the eight chains shook at the same time.

We all took a step back and looked at the wellhead wary.

But after waiting for a long time, nothing appeared at the wellhead.

It seems to be a false alarm.

But if this chain can move, doesn't it mean that the well is indeed locked with something as Nameless said?

Moreover, it is still alive.

When I was nervous, when I looked up, I suddenly saw another clay sculpture next to the statue of Chen Silong.

This clay sculpture is a very small person, with a rather strange appearance, a pig's nose and dragon horns, and a rather cunning face, giving people a very ghostly feeling.

The little man also carried a bag, and with its appearance, it looked like a little thief.

I called Nameless and asked her what the little man was about.

Nameless looked at the villain carefully, reached out and touched his nose, and said that this should be the water spirit serving Chen Silong, at the beginning, Chen Silong was also because of this water spirit that he saw through the world and made a grand wish to govern the Dongting waterway in his lifetime, remove the reef, and kill the water monster, and thus created the Paijiao.

"Moreover, seeing this water spirit, I can roughly guess what is trapped in the octagonal well." Nameless said.

Let's start from the beginning.

Then, Nameless told us the story of the adventures of Chen Silong, a strange man in Xiangyin, when he was young.

Whether it is in the official history classics or the wild history gossip, there has always been little record about the Xiangyin Pai Sect.

Nowadays, Paijiao has almost been lost, except for the ancestral altar of Xiangyin, the ancestral position of the ancestor of the Paigu Lu, about Chen Silong, even if he is a knowledgeable person in today's world, he can't tell his origin.

However, Nameless is a non-human who has lived for more than a thousand years, and she must know the strange things in this world, and Xiao Xiyue and I are also listening.

Chen Silong is a native of the Tang Dynasty, his ancestral home is Xiangyin, he is not a monk or a Taoist, and his magic is his own family, and he is chivalrous and righteous for others.

But when Chen Silong was young, like most young people, he didn't have any ambitions, he just liked to travel all day long, and he was always on the road for most of the year.

One day, Chen Silong came to a market in the south and saw a Yi man in a colorful turban selling a villain.

The villain was short in stature, only as tall as the knees of ordinary people, with dragon horns on his head and a pig's nose on his face, which was extremely weird, but the villain's eyes were very smart and clever.

Chen Silong stepped forward and asked the Yi people: "What is the use of such a small person?" ”

The Yi people introduced: "This villain was exchanged by me for fifty silver bracelets from the hands of the mermaids in the South China Sea. He is good at entering the water, and he walks on the ground in the water. You let him dive underwater, and he can stay for days without coming up. ”

"It's a remarkable skill, but how much is it worth?" Chen Silong asked.

"One price, three hundred taels of silver." The Yi people replied.

Chen Silong liked the villain very much, so he spent half of the money he brought with him to buy the villain and named him "Water Spirit".

Chen Silong continued to travel with the water spirit, and he took a boat from Shudi, out of the Three Gorges, to Jiangling. When he passed the mudflats of Qutang Gorge, he let the water spirit dive to see how deep it was.

The little water spirit received the order, carried the deerskin bag into the water, and after a while came out, and found a lot of gold and silver utensils.

"Master, there are many shipwrecks under the water, and these gold, silver, and artifacts were found from the wreck."

Chen Silong was overjoyed: "You are really my baby, I want to reward you heavily!" ”

So, every time the boat anchored at the bank of the river, he let the water spirit sink once and fish for some treasures. Whenever he went to a place, he took the treasures that the water spirits had fished up and sold them. After a period of time, Chen Silong became extremely rich.

It is said that Chen Silong has a friend named Wang Ze, who is a taishou in Yueyang. Chen Silong traveled back to his hometown and went to visit him.

Wang Ze was very happy to have friends from afar, he traveled with Chen Silong and feasted together, and played in Yueyang City every day.

One day, the two came together next to the octagonal well in the north corner of Yueyang.

The octagonal well is made of naturally curved stones, and the walls of the well are built into a very regular octagonal shape.

The octagonal well is very large, and the wellhead is more than three zhang wide.

In this octagonal well in Yueyang, smoke clouds will evaporate out in the morning and evening, spreading to a hundred paces away.

In the darkness of the night, there is often a fiery red light that shines out of the well, and it can shine a thousand feet, and by the light of the fire, things can be seen as clearly as daytime.

Since ancient times, the locals have a legend that there is a golden dragon lurking under the water of the well. Sometimes there is no rain for a long time, and people gather at the well to pray for rain, and each time it is very effective, and after each prayer, there will be a rain within a radius of ten miles.

Wang Ze took Chen Silong around the octagonal well three times and said: "There should be a treasure in this well, but unfortunately there is no way to explore its reality and reality." ”

Chen Silong smiled and said, "For me, this is very easy! ”

So he said to the water spirit: "Go to the bottom of the water and see what is strange in the well." ”

"Yes." The water spirit responded.

During that time, the water spirit did not go into the water for a long time, and he was very happy to receive the task, and immediately took off his clothes and jumped down the well.

After a long time, he came out and said to Chen Silong: "Master, the bottom is very wide and deep, and there is a very large yellow dragon at the bottom of the well, and its dragon scales are like gold, and the dragon is sleeping with a golden treasure box. I wanted to snatch the crate, but I didn't have a blade in my hand, and I was afraid that the dragon would wake up and find out, so I didn't dare to touch it just now. If I have a sword in my hand, even if the dragon finds out, I can find a way to kill it, and then we can grab the treasure. ”

Hearing what Shui Jing said, Chen Silong and Wang Ze were very pleasantly surprised.

Wang Ze untied the short sword he was wearing, and said to the water spirit: "This is my family's ancestral sword, forged by the blood of ancient swordsmiths, sharpened iron like clay, and the ghosts are afraid of the gods, now I will lend it to you, you go into the water again, and snatch the treasure box." ”

The water spirit drank a glass of wine, held a short sword in his hand, and jumped into the well again.

The people around heard that the water spirit went down to the dragon well to take treasure, and they all came around to take a look.

After about a pillar of incense, suddenly, people saw the water spirit jumping out of the deep well, and fled in panic, and then, a golden dragon hundreds of feet long and with sharp claws and armor roared angrily and rose from the well.

The water spirit ran desperately forward, trying to escape, but the dragon stretched out its claws and caught the water spirit in an instant.

The golden dragon retreated into the well with the water essence and disappeared.

The hearts of those on the left and right were terrified. No one dared to go near the edge of the well to inspect it.

Chen Silong felt sorry for his water spirit, Wang Ze felt sorry for his sword, and the two walked around the well, uncertain. However, there was silence in the well after that, and nothing came out of the well again.

And the two of them are also remembering, what is the treasure in the golden treasure box? You can actually let the real dragon guard it! ()
