Chapter 141 [Lock Dragon Well] (II)
Luo Lie smiled at him, and was about to leave when he heard an exclamation from inside. The two glanced at each other, and at the same time ran to the backyard, only to find that everyone had crawled out of the mud pit, in which nearly a hundred snakes were wriggling, and a migrant worker who was slow to escape had been bitten by a snake.
Zhang Longbow had him carried to a dry and flat place, treated his wounds, and judged from experience that the snake that bit him should not be poisonous. However, for the sake of safety, it was still necessary to send the migrant workers to a nearby hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, and arranged for the blind to accompany them.
After the scene calmed down, Lu Weilin gave the migrant workers a temporary holiday, after all, no one was willing to continue working at the risk of being bitten by a snake.
Luo Lie and Zhang Longbow stood in the southeast corner of the big pit, both of them found that at this time, the bottom of the pit has been crawling with hundreds of snakes, different species, including the existence of poisonous snakes, Zhang Changgong told Luo Lie about the situation just now, they just started work, they dug out a snake, thought it was a hibernating earth snake, the migrant worker raised the shovel to shoot the snake to death, did not think, after swatting the snake, like stabbing a hornet's nest, the snakes inside surged from all directions.
Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone hurriedly climbed up from the pit, but one migrant worker was still bitten.
Lu Weilin also came over at this time, looking at the snakes and insects everywhere in the big pit, he also had a headache, if he didn't finish dealing with these snakes, I am afraid that he would not be able to continue digging. Arnold suggested, "Drop a few grenades, keep the flesh flying, and wipe them out." ”
Zhang Changgong said: "Do you want to attract all the people from Beiping?"
In fact, Arnold was just addicted, and he also knew that his suggestion was unrealistic, so he smiled and stopped talking.
Lu Weilin said: "Set it on fire, pour some gasoline down, and clean it after ignition." Luo Lie thought of one thing with him and nodded.
They found a few barrels of gasoline and poured it on the place where the snakes and insects gathered below, Zhang Changgong and Arnold threw some wood to help burn, everything was ready to stop, Lu Weilin threw the lighter into the big pit, boom!
Luo Hunter and several people all retreated to the rear, and the fire burned for nearly half an hour before it was completely extinguished, and the entire pit became charred and black, and hundreds of poisonous snakes all turned into ashes.
When the smoke cleared, Lu Weilin put on rubber boots and went down first, Luo Lie was worried that he would be in danger, so he also went down to help.
Hundreds of snakes poured into the pit at the same time, proving that there must be a hiding place for them in the pit, and Luo Lie reminded Lu Weilin to pay attention to his feet, so as not to have fish that slipped through the net. Lu Weilin walked a few steps, and suddenly felt the soles of his feet being struck, he raised the soles of his feet, used an iron shovel to dig out the floating mud on the surface, and reached out to pull out an iron chain from the mud. They have been digging in the backyard of Zhengjue Temple for so many days, and there has been no surprise to find, and the appearance of this iron chain has given them hope in their hearts at the same time.
Even Luo Lie couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that Mu Sanshou really didn't lie to me, that treasure map was real? In the backyard of Zhengjue Temple, there was really a hidden entrance to the secret vault?
Seeing that the two of them had made a discovery, Zhang Longbow and Arnold all came down to help, and the four of them worked together, and it didn't take long to find the end of the chain, the bottom of which was attached to an upside-down bronze bell. Because there was a matter of pulling the copper chain in Pale Mountain and accidentally hitting the mechanism, Luo Lie reminded everyone to be careful.
They first cleaned out the mud around the bell, and then used a crowbar to lift the bell together.
After the bronze bell slate was lifted, it was found that there was a deep well hidden below, and the mouth of the well was closed by eight iron chains, and as soon as the bronze bell was opened, a fishy smell came to the nose, and the four of them twisted their faces in unison, and Arnold only felt a burst of stomach tumbling over the river, and turned around and vomited heavily.
The blind man came back here after dealing with the affairs of the hospital, and when he saw the scene in the pit, the blind man exclaimed: "Damn, lock the dragon well!" and then he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and cover it, hurry up and cover it!"
Arnold only then took that breath and complained, "It stinks, what's in there?"
Luo Hunt heard the cry of the blind man, only then remembered one thing, it is said that when Yu ruled the water, he captured the evil dragon, and sank it into the deep well to lock, the wellhead is usually sealed with iron chains, the well is deep to the center of the earth, the dragon is bound with iron chains, Luo Lie thinks that this should be just a legend, but there are indeed many lock dragon wells throughout the country, the most famous of which is in Yuzhou.
Beiping Beixinqiao also has a lock dragon well, but that lock dragon well is said to be the Ming Dynasty Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao after catching the dragon and locked in the eyes of the sea. At that time, a Wumu temple was also built on the well, which was dedicated to the patriotic general Yue Fei.
It's just that Luo Lie has never heard that there is a locked dragon well in the Old Summer Palace, after all, this is a royal garden, and it seems unlucky to get a locked dragon well.
The blind man climbed down the ladder carefully, covered his nose with his sleeve, leaned in front of the well, and looked inside. Although the others had all looked into the well, none of them had the ability to be blind, and none of them could see what was going on inside.
The blind man raised his head, took a few steps back, his sleeves were still reluctant to leave his nose, and said in a low voice: "There is an iron chain, which is connected to the well, and you can't see the bottom, it should be a lock dragon well, I said brothers, this thing is a little evil, hurry up and cover it." ”
Arnold leaned over, his eyes lit up after hearing about the origin of the locked dragon well, and in his opinion, if he could find a living dragon below, then it would be worth more than any vault.
Luo Lie thought about where those snakes crawled out just now, and judging from the current situation, it was likely to come from this locked dragon well.
Lu Weilin suggested in a low voice: "Since it's all dug up, we might as well pull up the chain and take a look, anyway, I don't believe that there are dragons in this world." ”
Zhang Changgong is also a bold man, he also moved his mind to find out, not to mention Arnold, who wants to witness the real dragon, but now the most resolute opponent is the blind man who is the most obsessed with wealth among them, although treasure is important, but life is even more important.
Everyone turned their eyes to Luo Lie, waiting for him to make a final decision.
Luo Lie said: "I don't know if there is a dragon down there, but I can conclude that there must be a snake down there." ”
The sound of a car came from outside, but it was a sparrow coming, and before the person entered the door, her voice had already sounded: "Luo Lie, guess what I found?" She walked into the backyard and saw five people standing in the pit, and put down the drawings in her hand.
Temples often use bells and drums to tell the time, as long as you find the location of the bell tower and the drum tower, the connection between the two, and the intersection of the extension line drawn before should be the secret hidden in Mu Sanshou's treasure map.
The sparrow saw the exaggerated pit in front of him, and then saw the well in the pit, shook his head, and said, "It seems that you have found it." ”
Luo Lie waved his hand and asked everyone to evacuate the scene temporarily.
A few people returned to the hall, and Sparrow returned the map that Mu Sanshou handed over to Luo Lie, she spent a lot of effort on this drawing, and finally found this hint, the intersection of the extension line and the line between the bell and drum tower drawn from the position of the hydraulic bell is likely to be the secret entrance of the drawing prompt.
Sparrow said: "You look carefully, from the center of the hydraulic clock to the position of the dog to extend the line happens to pass through the Zhengjue Temple, but this extension line is not in the central axis of the Zhengjue Temple, we can't determine the specific location with a single line, I think about it, only to remember that this Zhengjue Temple does not have a bell and drum tower, and there is no mark on the drawings you gave me." In the past two days, I checked a lot of information before I found a structural drawing of the past Zhengjue Temple. She took out another drawing and pointed to the location of the bell and drum tower.
Luo Lie nodded, the sparrow's inference was consistent with their findings, which proved that the drawings given to him by Mu Sanshou were not wrong.
The blind man said, "So what? This is not a secret entrance, it is a locked dragon well, do you know what the locked dragon well is? Once we open the lock dragon well, the demon dragon will be free, stir up waves, and then the whole of Beiping will be swallowed up by the ocean. ”
"Cut!" Arnold scoffed at him, he really couldn't stand the blind man's exaggerated rhetoric.
The blind man glared at him angrily and said, "Golden Retriever, you cut a fart." ”
Sparrow said: "I also know about the lock dragon well, but I have never heard that Zhengjue Temple also has a lock dragon well, and I don't rule out the possibility that the person who left the secret path deliberately used this method to cover up." ”
Several people nodded at the same time, and the blind man found that he was suddenly isolated, and sighed and said, "I kindly advise you, don't regret if you really encounter trouble." ”
When he spoke, a thunderbolt suddenly sounded outside, and the thunder was flat to the ground, shaking the whole hall trembling, and everyone was startled, and they all walked out, but they saw that the dark clouds in the sky gathered at this moment, and the sun was blocked by heavy clouds, and the sky, which was bright just now, became like night was approaching.
The blind man said, "Look, retribution is coming." Before the words fell, a pouring rain suddenly came.
