The icy water made Chen Ziyang feel inactive, and after only soaking in such a cold pool for a while, he felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he seemed to be a little disobedient.

So he used all his strength to swim as fast as he could, so that with the help of strenuous exercise, his body temperature could rise in a short period of time.

Because the flashlight is hung on his waist, Chen Ziyang has no way to see the situation over there, and the looming light point he saw seems to be from a flashlight, but the beam of the flashlight is relatively weak, it should be that the battery is about to run out, and this flashlight seems to be shining in the direction in front of him, only when the flashlight moves left and right, can you vaguely see some light.

In order to maintain his physical strength and fight against the cold of the pool water, Chen Ziyang did not continue to shout, which would affect his swimming speed, he just kept swimming in the direction of that point of light.

As the distance approached, Chen Ziyang vaguely saw that there seemed to be a huge black shadow standing above the flashlight, this black shadow was very thick, and very high, as if it had been extending upwards without end, and the whole black shadow felt like a thick pillar.

Looking at this black shadow, Chen Ziyang estimated that something like a pillar should have led all the way to the ground of the previous labyrinth, maybe it was a pillar supporting the labyrinth.

It seems that the ground of the entire underground palace was suspended before, and below is this huge space, and the bottom of the space is this waterhole.

Chen Ziyang felt that he was really very fatal, he thought he was dead when the underground palace collapsed, but he didn't expect the entire ground to collapse all at once, and he inadvertently let himself avoid the huge stone that smashed into him.

Now that I think about it, the reason why the ground of the dungeon will collapse may be because the ground near it was smashed through by another huge stone, which led to the collapse of the entire dungeon ground.

"I don't know if Lei Zi and Brother Umbrella are so lucky, if they weren't knocked down by the stones." Just as Chen Ziyang was thinking about this, he suddenly felt as if his feet had touched a hard object.

Then he swam forward a few more times, only to find that the waterhole seemed to be getting shallower here, and what his toes touched should be the bottom of the pool.

This discovery made Chen Ziyang overjoyed, because the pool water was too cold, his physical strength was lost very quickly, and his body temperature dropped very much, basically reaching the limit, and the bottom of the pool undoubtedly became a life-saving straw, and he hurriedly put his feet on the ground.

This down-to-earth feeling reassured Chen Ziyang a lot, but he still didn't dare to stay too much in the icy water, so he stepped on the hard stone at the bottom of the pool and dragged his tired body forward.

With the help of the light of the flashlight, Chen Ziyang found that he had come to the edge of the waterhole, where the area of the open space was very wide. The slope at the bottom of the pool was also very small, and after walking forward for a long time, he walked out of the pool completely.

Although he was about to run out of strength now, Chen Ziyang still didn't dare to stop, but gritted his teeth and jumped in place, so as to raise his body temperature, if he suddenly lay on the ground at this time, he was afraid that he would pass out, and it was very likely that he would freeze to death here.

Then he shone the beam of the flashlight in his hand into the distance, and found that the area of this space was very large, and there was no end in sight to this large clearing at the edge of the waterhole.

Now he could see clearly that there was indeed a man standing near the huge pillar of black shadow, as if he was busy with something, and near this man, there were several other people lying there.

"Thunder...... Thunder ...... Umbrella ......" Chen Ziyang, whose lips were frozen and white, didn't even have the strength to scream, he stubbornly walked in that direction.

It may be because the flashlight beam in Chen Ziyang's hand shone on that person and attracted the person's attention, and the person turned around. Chen Ziyang saw that the person standing was neither Yang Lei nor Umbrella Shishuai, but his fifth grandfather, Chen Benzhong.

Seeing Chen Ziyang walking towards him, a strange smile hung on the corner of Chen Benzhong's mouth, and then he faced Chen Ziyang, pointed to a few people beside him, and turned around and got busy.

At this time, Chen Ziyang's mana had recovered a lot, and he hurriedly put his mana into operation, dispelling a lot of cold air, and after walking forward for a distance, he could see some clearly. In the place Chen Benzhong was referring to, there were three people lying side by side.

There is a person's body outline that is different from the other two people, it looks like a woman, and the backs of the other two people are very familiar, it should be Yang Lei and Umbrella Shi Shuai. However, because these people were lying face down on the ground, Chen Ziyang didn't see their faces.

Seeing his two brothers at once, and he didn't know where the strength came from, Chen Ziyang rushed over in a few arrow steps, and turned Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai over at once.

At the moment when the two of them were turned, Chen Ziyang's heart was worried, he was very afraid that when he turned the two people over, he would see the corpses of his two brothers.

Fortunately, this apprehension only lasted for a second before disappearing, and when Chen Ziyang turned the two people over, he was overjoyed to find that the two people were still alive, and they didn't seem to be injured from the outside, but then he was surprised again.

At this time, he found that Umbrella Shishuai and Yang Lei had both been tied, their hands were tied to their chests, their feet were also tied together, and their mouths were also blocked.

"This ......" Chen Ziyang, who didn't understand what was going on, hurriedly raised his head, wanting to ask Chen Benzhong what was going on. But as soon as he raised his head, he only felt a dark shadow coming towards his face, and then his consciousness blurred.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Ziyang, who woke up slowly, felt that his cheeks were very painful, and he wanted to reach out and touch his face what was going on, but he found that he was already tied up like Yang Lei and them, and his mouth had been blocked, and he couldn't make any sound at all.

A sense of crisis suddenly surged from Chen Ziyang's heart, according to his judgment, there was no one else here at all, so the person who knocked himself out just now should be Chen Benzhong, but why did this old man do this?

He hurriedly turned his head to see the situation around him, but the moment he just turned his face, he saw a pale woman's face. The woman's eyes widened in horror, her face was covered with blood, she was already dead, and her expression was hideous.

The sudden shocking picture startled Chen Ziyang, but then he calmed down and found that this woman was Aunt Yun who had been standing in the small courtyard in a daze.

One part of Aunt Yun's skull has been deformed, and she should have been killed by a blunt object hit on the head or something, and it was from there that the blood on Aunt Yun's face flowed from.

This discovery made Chen Ziyang's heart hang again, it seems that Aunt Yun should have been beaten to death with sticks or something, maybe Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai would also be killed by Chen Benzhong during the time he was unconscious, so he hurriedly twisted his head in another direction.

Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai were lying side by side beside him, and they also turned their eyes to him at this time. The three brothers saw that each other was safe and sound, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Ziyang also calmed down.

I was really concerned about it just now, but now that I think about it, it is very likely that the injury on Aunt Yun's head was smashed by a falling rock, and she should have been stoned to death by a falling stone, not Chen Benzhong's hand.

But then Chen Ziyang didn't understand, why did this old guy tie up the three of them, what was he busy doing over there? Thinking of this, he raised his head and observed his surroundings.

Now Chen Benzhong put all the flashlights he could find around, illuminating this small area, and with these lights, Chen Ziyang saw that the place where the original few people were was near that huge pillar-like thing.

At this time, he realized that this was indeed a pillar, but the shape of this pillar was very peculiar, and the pillar was composed of four dragon-shaped sculptures together.

The four dragons descended vertically from above, and when they reached a height of a few meters above the ground, they suddenly dispersed, and the four dragons extended in different directions, and then turned vertically downward, building a simple pavilion-like building on the ground.

Then the four dragons touched the ground and converged again towards the center, connecting with something like a large circular well, with a boxy lid on top of it.

The thickness of the wall of the well is very thick, and the square lid seems to be laid in the center of the well, judging from the appearance, the bottom of the cover should be hollow, and this should indeed be a well.

After using the Yin and Yang Eyes, Chen Ziyang found that there was a small amount of dragon qi flowing in these four dragon-shaped sculptures, and these dragon qi converged along the four dragons into the well in the middle, and the strength of the dragon qi contained in the well and in the square lid above the well even surprised him.

It seems that these four dragons are the four dragon-shaped sculptures that attracted dragon qi that gathered in the small courtyard before, but he didn't expect that these four dragons actually extended here, and the four dragons displayed in front of Chen Ziyang at this time were extremely beautifully carved.

Every line that makes up the four dragons is extremely natural, and even every scale on the four dragons seems to be able to be plucked off at will, as if the four dragons were not carved, but turned into stone.

Moreover, the square lid on the round well is not ordinary, with countless mountains and rivers carved on it, which is much more exquisite than the picture of mountains and rivers in the four seas that Chen Ziyang saw in the house in the small courtyard.

And it may be because of the perennial nourishment of dragon energy, coupled with the relationship that contains a lot of dragon energy, under the eyes of yin and yang, Chen Ziyang saw that there seemed to be auspicious clouds around the mountains carved above this square lid.

Under the embellishment of these auspicious clouds, the stone carvings that were originally flat actually give people a three-dimensional feeling, as if the mountains and rivers on the square lid are standing in front of you, rather than carved on a flat surface.

"Kanei! It turned out that this was the real Jinjing, and the small courtyard above was just a trick! After seeing the dragon qi contained in the circular well-like building, Chen Ziyang realized that this was the hole of the entire group of dragons kowtowing to the treasure cave, and it was the center of the dragon vein of the entire Qing Dynasty.

The entire labyrinth-like underground palace, coupled with the courtyard with heavy organs, and the map of the mountains and rivers of the four seas in the courtyard, are all blindfolding, all fake, and the real dragon vein Jinjing is here.

"Generous! It's really a big deal! Chen Ziyang sighed in his heart. Who would have thought that after going through so many difficulties, walking through such a big labyrinth, and cracking the courtyard with many mechanisms, what they got in the end was only fake.

If it weren't for Yasushi Yoshioka collapsing the labyrinth above, if it weren't for the entire ground of the labyrinth collapsing, maybe a few people wouldn't have discovered this huge secret until they died.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang finally understood the reason why he was rescued by luck, it seems that when building this place, the builders were very worried that if the labyrinth above collapsed, the gold well below would be smashed, so a very special structure was used when building.

These four dragon-shaped stone sculptures are actually like indestructible pillars, carrying the underground palace above the golden well and holding up the small courtyard, so that even if someone reaches the courtyard that is used as a barrier, collapses the labyrinth above, and smashes the ground of the maze to the ground, there is still no way to hurt the golden well below.

Looking around, there is nothing else around except the golden well and the real map of the mountains and rivers of the four seas that covers the golden well. Could it be that the dragon qi in the golden well is what Chen Benzhong and Yoshioka Yasunao have been fighting for 70 years?

Looking at Chen Benzhong, who was busy around Jinjing, Chen Ziyang's heart had doubts. Dragon qi is a thing that dominates the fortune of a dynasty or a region, and ordinary people can't carry it at all, even if they find the golden well, find the large amount of dragon qi contained in the golden well, what's the use?

With this thought in mind, he looked carefully at Chen Benzhong and found that this hundred-year-old old guy was leaning over the ground, lying on the ground around Jinjing, and kept carving something with the pen in his hand.

Now Chen Benzhong is holding a brush in one hand and a box in the other, which is full of gold dust, and is using the brush to dip the gold dust into writing strange charms on the ground, and these charms have covered most of the ground around the gold well, and it seems that his work is almost finished.
