127. Comic strips
After saying goodbye to Lao Huang and his mother-in-law, Xiao Liang and I rushed all the way to the location of the dead man's pit.
When I went back, I saw that the support of Xiaolingwei had really arrived, and this time there were five people, three of whom I had seen, and they were friends who broke into the ancient Shu tomb of Tuojiang together last time, and there were two new faces.
Seeing me and Xiao Liang coming, the group of Xiaoling guards nodded at us.
Jiang Yongguang asked us, "Where did you go?" Why did it take so long to come back? ”
I immediately said, "We should find the location of those rats who have made the hole." ”
Xiao Liang also nodded and added: "Bacheng has found it, there will be no mistake." ”
"Really?" Jiang Yongguang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done, where did the rat hit the thief hole?" ”
I pointed to the village behind me and said, "Do you remember Lao Huang, who had dinner with us yesterday?" Xiao Liang and I met him again just now, and he accidentally said that a neighbor moved in two months ago, and as soon as he moved in, he built a new house, and he chose to work at night. ”
Jiang Yongguang suddenly clapped his hands: "Do you still need to ask?" It's definitely a mouse! Xiao Chen, Xiao Liang, it's good, I'll send someone to seal off the suspect location now. ”
After that, he turned around and beckoned to a filial piety guard, and said: "Old Wei, you take everyone to the thief cave to arrange the operation, see if you can catch all the rats, find out their strength before closing the net, pay attention to safety, don't go wrong, if there are too many rats, call and call for backup, do what you can!" ”
Old Wei, who had a big beard, nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, in broad daylight, can you still let the mouse eat the cat?" Dare to argue with your brothers and feed them peanuts on the spot! ”
As he spoke, Lao Wei patted the position of the waistband of his pants.
I looked down and saw that Lao Wei's clothes were bulging, and I knew that this time Xiaolingwei was here with a real guy.
With this big baby, the rats can't make waves anymore.
After receiving the task, Lao Wei turned around and beckoned to the other Xiaolingwei: "Let's go, catch the mouse." ”
said to Xiao Liang again: "Xiao Liang, please show us a way." ”
Xiao Liang didn't agree immediately, but turned around and glanced at the diving equipment on the ground, then looked at me and asked, "Chen Rongsheng, are you going to lock the dragon well?" ”
I nodded and said, "That's for sure, the diving equipment has been delivered, I'm sure I'll have to go down and have a look." ”
When she heard this, she said worriedly, "That'...... Then you must be safe. ”
Without waiting for me to answer, Jiang Yongguang hurriedly came over and comforted: "Don't worry, I guarantee the safety of Comrade Xiao Chen, don't worry, go catch the mouse." ”
Xiao Liang nodded at this time, and took Lao Wei and them in the direction of Lao Huang's house.
I changed into a wetsuit and plunged into the dead man's pit with a pop.
After having diving equipment, I am more confident in the water, even if I know that this lock dragon well is a bit evil, but I am not afraid in my heart.
I swam to the position of the lock dragon well, grabbed the bead and walked down, to the mouth of the well, and once again held the arm-thick chain.
This time, the chains did not tremble, and there was no unusual movement in the well, and I was stunned: "Could it be that what happened last time was not because I inadvertently opened the mechanism at the bottom of the well, but just a coincidence?" ”
With a lot of doubt, I grabbed the chain and continued to dive into the well.
At first, I didn't find anything unusual, but after walking down two or three meters, I suddenly saw that the inner wall of the locked dragon well was not bare, but carved with some delicate and vivid reliefs.
Before, it was so dark in the well that I couldn't see anything, but this time I came down wearing a diving headlamp, and when the headlamp shone on, I could see the scene in the well.
If, according to our speculation, this lock dragon well was built by Liu Bowen, then the relief in this well must also be from his handwriting.
I followed the lock dragon well all the way down, all the way to look at it, and roughly saw that these reliefs depicted a coherent story.
The protagonist of the story is carrying out construction with a team of hoes, shovels and other tools, and I guess this may be the scene of the dragon veins slashed back then, or it may depict the picture of them digging out the "dead man's pit" in this pond.
Later, in the place where they had been digging, a huge dragon suddenly appeared, and this dragon was very fierce with its teeth and claws.
Many of the workers who slashed the dragon vein died under the dragon's minions.
Looking further down, I saw that the protagonist who led the team - most likely the famous Liu Bowen - wielded a sword in one hand and a chain in the other, subduing the evil dragon to the ground.
In the next picture, the evil dragon is chained, and the protagonist is worshiped and praised by everyone, but he seems to have been injured in the process of fighting the evil dragon, and can only lie weak on the bed.
Then, the hero of the dragon warrior was seriously injured and turned into a coffin, and everyone buried him, and the burial location happened to be the place where the dragon was locked.
So this evil dragon has become a divine beast guarding the tomb of this hero.
Seeing this, I just felt confused.
Whose story is this story about?
Will the hero of the story be Liu Bowen?
But there has never been a record in history that Liu Bowen died on the way to kill the dragon vein, from this point of view, the hero of the story is only afraid of someone else.
Just as I was trying to digest the contents of the relief depiction of the Suolongjing, the iron chain in my hand suddenly trembled violently, and then the water in the well began to surge, and I could feel the underground water rushing up from the depths of the ancient well.
Even though I was wearing scuba gear, the current was so strong that I didn't dare to go head-to-head with it for fear of breaking my bones.
And if I take 10,000 steps back, even if the current is not enough to break my bones, my diving equipment will not be able to withstand the impact, and once the oxygen cylinder or oxygen tube is flushed out, my life will be in danger.
To be on the safe side, I quickly followed the buoyancy of the current and slowly floated up from the lock dragon well.
Then, before the whirlpool formed, I turned back to the surface and swam to the shore.
Jiang Yongguang and Uncle Mei were waiting for me on the shore, and when they saw me re-ashore, they hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What's going on in the well? ”
I shook my head at them and said, "This lock dragon well is deeper than I thought, I have dived at least seven or eight meters, and I have never been able to see the bottom, and there is an undercurrent in the well, no matter where it is connected under this well, it may not be possible to get through to people." ”
After hearing this, Jiang Yongguang asked: "I understand, that means that only the dead can come from this road, right?" ”
"That's right." I nodded and said, "This well is basically a dead end." ”
"Then don't worry, we can't get in from here, and the rats can't get out from here." Jiang Yongguang said, "Then apart from this, is there anything else worth thinking about in the well?" ”
I immediately said, "There really is, there is a set of comic books carved in this locked dragon well." ”
