Chapter 3700: Rescue from the Well

This time, none of us were prepared and we all fell head over heels, rolling on the ground.

Xiaopang patted his butt and stood up first, muttering, "What a broken chain! It's so flimsy, it breaks as soon as I pull it."

Since we couldn't pull out the things in the well, it was all in vain. We gathered at the wellhead again and looked inside.

It’s too dark. I can’t see anything.

Yuankong picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the well, but he didn't even hear the sound of the stone falling into the water.

My God, is this well a bottomless pit?

Just when we were at our wit's end, suddenly, we heard footsteps. We looked back and found an old lady walking towards us.

The old lady was holding a basket in her hand and looked very old, at least over eighty years old.

Seeing several of us standing at the mouth of the well and a large pile of iron chains, the old lady immediately said in horror and anger: "Who are you and what are you doing?"

"Old man, our friend jumped into this well and we want to pull him out." I hurried over and said.

"Let's go, let's go quickly. This is the Dragon Locking Well. Nothing can be fished out if anything falls in, let alone a living person. Once someone goes in, they will die." The old lady waved at us as if to drive away flies.

I see that this old lady is quite old and should know a lot about the Locking Dragon Well.

So he quickly asked, "Old man, how many years has this well been here? Is there anything you can say about it?"

The old lady didn't want to pay attention to us. She took out various offerings and incense from the basket, lit them directly, and inserted them into the incense burner next to the Locking Dragon Well. Then she knelt down in the direction of the Locking Dragon Well and kowtowed continuously.

"Oh, Dragon King, please don't blame us. These are all outsiders. They don't know you are the Dragon King. Please don't be angry. Please don't blame us..."

The old lady was muttering to herself and kept kowtowing.

Seeing that she ignored me, I took out a thousand yuan from my pocket and handed it to her.

The old lady froze for a moment and looked at the money in my hand.

"What does this mean, young man?"

"It's nothing interesting. Tell us about the Locking Dragon Well and the money will be yours. How about it?" I said with a smile.

The old lady hesitated for a moment. At this moment, I took out another thousand yuan and said, "I'll give you two thousand."

As soon as I took it out, the old lady took the money and put it in her pocket: "You can't regret it."

"No regrets, just tell me about the Dragon Locking Well. Is there really a dragon in this well?" I looked very curious.

The old lady nodded and said to us mysteriously, "You've asked the right person about this. Let me put it this way, this Locking Dragon Well has been here for quite some time. It's been here since I can remember. I heard from my grandfather that there was a Locking Dragon Well when he was a child. There really is a dragon living in this well!"

"How do you know there is a dragon in this well?" Kasan also became interested.

"I'll tell you something, and you'll understand. I remember when I was a teenager, there was a sudden flood in the village, which submerged the nearby farmland and houses. The villagers were almost drowned. It was because of this Suolongjing that the villagers' lives were saved."

"How can we save people from this well?" Xiaopang widened his eyes.

The old lady said with great joy, "When the villagers were nearly drowned, someone heard a dragon's roar coming from the direction of the Dragon Locking Well. Not long after, the floodwaters in the village receded very quickly. Guess what? The floodwaters were all sucked away by the Dragon Locking Well. If it hadn't been for the Dragon Locking Well, at least thousands of people would have drowned during that flood."

Hearing the old lady say this, I subconsciously looked around.

It was discovered that the location of the Locking Dragon Well is very low, and once a flood occurs, the Locking Dragon Well can actually absorb water.

"Old man, are there any other rumors about the Locking Dragon Well? Tell us about them." I urged.

"Ever since the flood, when the Locking Dragon Well saved people from the surrounding villages, during festivals, the villagers nearby would come to worship the Locking Dragon Well and throw tributes into the well. Sometimes they would even throw live pigs and sheep into the well, just to feed the Dragon King. I also heard from my grandfather that in the early years, human sacrifices would be performed at the Locking Dragon Well, and the young girls in the village would be thrown into the well to become the wives of the Water Dragon King..." The old lady said to herself.

"When did this happen?" I couldn't help but ask.

"That was a long time ago... It was during the Qing Dynasty. Now that we've been liberated, we can no longer use living people to sacrifice to the Locking Dragon Well. I guess the Dragon King is angry. In the past one or two years, many young girls from the surrounding villages have jumped into the well on their own. The Dragon King must have blamed them. He's angry because we haven't sent him a wife for so many years." The old lady said vividly.

This matter is weird in every way. If there really is a Dragon King who can protect the people, he will definitely not let the villagers sacrifice living people.

Screw it, no matter what it is, if it encounters a few of us, even if it is a dragon, we will tear off all its scales.

The old lady was a chatterbox. Once she started talking, she couldn't stop. She told us a lot of things about the Locking Dragon Well, and everything she said was very mysterious.

As for the things she said, I feel that at least half of them are not credible.

After talking for almost half an hour, the old lady still didn't leave. She said that if I gave her another hundred yuan, she would tell me some more important things about Suolongjing.

But now I have no patience to listen.

Seeing that none of us paid any attention to her, the old lady slung her basket over her shoulder and walked away unsteadily.

As soon as the old lady left, we got together again.

"Brother Wu, I think there is definitely no dragon or any other monster in this Dragon Locking Well. There must be something, and it must be quite large." Kasan said solemnly.

"We can't go down rashly, otherwise let Ziba go down and take a look first. It is the king of the water, and there are not many things that can do anything to it." I said seriously.

"That's fine, otherwise let Gongfu and Ziba go down together." Xiaopang said.

"Get out of here! I'll let you go down with Ziba." I rolled my eyes at Xiaopang, then slapped the Tiangang Seal, and Ziba appeared in front of us.

"Zi Ba, go down and see what's in this well. If you encounter any danger, come back quickly and don't fight." I warned him.

Ziba nodded, and without saying a word, he jumped directly into the Dragon Locking Well.
