Arnold couldn't help but shrink his neck at this moment. The sky became too fast, and even he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Lu Weilin said: "It is a very common thing to rain in spring, don't scare yourself."

Luo Lie pointed to the pit and said, "Look!"

Everyone looked in the direction Luo Lie pointed out, but they saw water quickly accumulated in the big pit. After all, the big pit they dug had become the lowest lying place in the entire Zhengjue Temple, so all the rainwater around gathered here. When the water accumulated overflowed the wellhead, it flowed into the Loong Well.

The rain continued until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Suolong Well became a flood drainage channel. Although the rain was very heavy, it never flooded the wellhead. The water level in the well did not rise much. It seems that there is another drainage channel under the well.

When the sun emerged from the clouds again, a rainbow ran across the sky, making it even more magnificent and moving against the backdrop of the pure blue sky. After a while, the water in the big pit had dissipated completely.

After several people discussed, they finally reached a consensus and decided to pull up the iron chain of the Dragon Well to see what the end of the iron chain was tied. Although the blind man was reluctant, he agreed based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority.

They inserted the door, then strengthened the winch on the hard flat ground, connected the iron chains below the Lock Dragon Well with ropes, and rolled up the chains through the rotation of the winch. Zhang Changgong, Arnold, and Luo Lie were responsible for turning the winch, and the blind man was responsible for observing at the wellhead.

Although the sparrow was also full of curiosity, she could not stand the rotten smell emitted from the wellhead and could only stand outside the pit and wait and see from afar.

However, the facts proved that the blind man's worries were unnecessary. They did not take too long to see the result. The other end of the chain was not a demon dragon tied, but nothing was there, just an iron chain.

Looking at the end of the rusty iron chain, the blind man couldn't help but curse. Someone was so pranked and actually got a chain to shake them.

Judging from the length of the chain, it is about 30 meters long. The tail end is soaked in water for many years, and it has severe rust and obvious signs of breaking. It can be inferred that there should be something else on the other end of the chain.

Lu Weilin was obviously unwilling to accept the current result, so he decided to go down and see the situation in person.

Although Luo Lie did not object to his idea of ​​exploring, he was not relieved that Lu Weilin went in alone. After discussing the matter, he decided that Luo Lie, the blind man and Lu Weilin would enter the path, and the other three were responsible for receiving the response.

Before digging Zhengjue Temple, they had made sufficient preparations, and weapons and equipment were naturally no problem. The three of them were fully armed. Considering that they might enter the water after turning back, they were wearing water inside, wrapped around them tightly, and even had gas masks. They also applied medicine to their clothes to drive away snakes and insects. These snake-removing potions were bought by the blind man just now. The purpose was to disperse the poisonous snakes in the pit, but they didn't expect it to come in handy.

Because they were worried that the chain would be severely rusted and might break in the middle, they found the rope again.

Lu Weilin was the first to enter the Lock Dragon Well, the second blind man, Luo Lie was responsible for breaking the back. The wellhead was narrow, and the blind man's fat body was barely squeezed in. According to the blind man's idea, he did not want to take the initiative to wade into this muddy water. However, since Luo Lie decided to enter and explore the truth, as Luo Lie's best friend, he naturally could not fall behind. Although several of them were wearing flashlights, after all, he had to use his night eyes at critical moments.

After entering the wellhead, the bottom suddenly became wider. The four walls of the well were all made of stones, and rainwater continued to penetrate from the cracks of the stones. The three of them slowly descended in turn. On the way down, Lu Weilin kept illuminating the surrounding well walls with flashlights to prevent snakes and insects from hiding in the well walls.

A blind man cannot use these things, he just needs to maintain good balance in his body and control the speed of decline.

When Luo Lie fell to about ten meters, he heard a sparrow's voice coming from the wellhead and said, "Luo Lie, is it okay?"

Luo Lie flashed two flashlights, indicating that everything was normal and continued to fall. He found that the diameter of the Lock Dragon Well continued to expand. Lu Weilin stopped for a moment. The light of the flashlight shone on the surrounding well wall. He found two long dragons with teeth and claws engraved on the well wall. The two long dragons had their eyes opposite, and their front paws extended, fighting for a round bead.

The blind man pointed to the well wall, and Luo Lie nodded to him. Because he was wearing a gas mask, it was not convenient to talk.

Lu Weilin continued to descend. The blind man turned on the flashlight and shone the light column on his face. Lu Weilin stopped temporarily after he reminded him. In this environment, the blind man had the best eyesight. Although they had dropped by about ten meters, they still couldn't see the scene at the bottom of the well, because the water surface was covered with a layer of white mist.

If they continue downward, they will enter the mist.

Lu Weilin did not hesitate and took the lead in entering the fog. Luo Lie and the blind man were not in a hurry to enter. After a while, Lu Weilin's voice came from below, "Come down, it's okay!"

Lu Weilin used one hand and feet to control his body, took off the gas mask, and tried to take a breath. He felt that the air below was much fresher than the wellhead. Even the unpleasant stench just now disappeared miraculously, and his chest became relaxed.

Luo Lie and the Blind Man walked through the fog layer about two meters thick. Seeing that Lu Weilin was fine, Luo Lie and the Blind Man took off their gas masks and put them away. He was so frustrated with this thing.

The sparrow endured the stench of the wellhead and asked again: "Luo Lie, how are you?"

The blind man smiled and said, "Why do you care about Luo Lie and don't worry about us?"

When the sparrow heard his response, he knew that no one was doing anything, and he said with concern: "Don't take off the gas mask easily, the air below may be toxic."

The blind man took a strong breath and said, "I don't know how fresh it is, don't worry." He looked down and looked about ten meters away from the water below. The water surface was rolling like boiling. The blind man blinked his eyes and saw clearly that thousands of water snakes were tumbling under the water surface, and he felt creepy.

Two beams of light were projected on the water surface, and Luo Lie and Lu Weilin also saw the situation on the water surface clearly at the same time, but fortunately there were no snakes and insects around the well wall.

"Go up!" the blind man suggested. He was most afraid of snakes. Seeing the scene of snakes dancing in the water, he couldn't help feeling a little furious.

After Lu Weilin saw the situation below clearly, he felt that he would encounter danger when he continued to move downward. He nodded, but heard Luo Lie say: "Wait! Look, the water surface is constantly falling!"

The two of them followed Luo Lie's guidance and saw that the water surface had dropped a lot more and their location was farther away from the water surface. After about ten minutes, the water surface had dropped by about three meters compared to just now, and a square cauldron revealed its true appearance from the bottom of the water.

Luo Lie was overjoyed and remembered the Jizhou tripod that Mu Sanshou entrusted him to find. Could this square tripod hidden underwater be the Jizhou tripod?

The water snakes gradually moved away from them as the water surface fell. The blind man was sure that there were no water snakes left on the copper cauldron, so he continued to go down. The square cauldron was about three feet long and two feet wide, with an ear height of about three feet. He stood on the bronze-cast platform. The platform was round, with a diameter of more than three meters and a thickness of about one foot. The bottom was connected to three stone pillars and went straight to the bottom of the well.

The bronze tripod was engraved with words. Although Luo Lie had no knowledge of Xia Wen, these bronze scriptures were not his strengths. The blind man and Lu Weilin knew nothing, and they did not dare to take the risk of continuing to move down. A toad squatted in the bronze tripod, grew up and raised his head to the sky.

When the sparrow heard that a bronze tripod was found with words engraved below, his curiosity was immediately aroused. With the help of Zhang Changgong and Arnold, he also slid down the well along the rope and met Luo Lie. After seeing the words on the tripod, the sparrow said: "Is this the Jizhou tripod?"

Luo Lie said in surprise: "Jizhou tripod is one of the nine tripods?"

The sparrow smiled and said, "This Jizhou tripod is not one of the legendary nine tripods. It is engraved with an era. This tripod was cast in the Qing Dynasty and should be used to suppress water. It is not a dragon locking well, but one of the many flood discharge outlets in the garden."

Luo Lie was not only disappointed when he heard this, but he also had a question: Where did the iron chain be connected before it had rusted and broken?

Lu Weilin also considered the same problem and whispered: "Is that iron chain used to connect to the copper tripod?"

The blind man shook his head and said, "No, there is no rust on the copper cauldron, and the iron chain is stained with rust. Have you noticed it?" He pointed above.

The other three people didn't know what he was pointing to. The blind man said, "The other end is tied to the ball." The ball he was pointing to was the bead that two dragons competed for on the well wall. In fact, Luo Lie and the other two saw the bead, but their eyesight was limited in the dark. Although they saw the bead, they could not see the details on it.

The blind man said, "If I guess correctly, the other end of the chain should be connected to the iron ball. Use the chain to pull the iron ball out, and then put the iron ball into the toad's mouth to trigger the mechanism."

Luo Lie looked down at the toad in the cauldron, recalling the ball that the two dragons competed for. It seemed to be about the same size.

Lu Weilin's eyes at the blind man now became more admirable. He should treat him with admiration for three days after leaving. Unexpectedly, his mind became so bright.

Sparrow said: "It sounds like something makes sense."

The blind man smiled and said, "Of course."

Lu Weilin had already started to move and climbed up the rope. He wanted to get the ball down to verify the blind man's speculation.

Lu Weilin didn't take much effort to get the ball off the wall and bring it back to the platform. He looked at his companions, sought their consent with his eyes, put the ball into the toad's mouth, and the ball entered the toad's mouth. Then, it slid down the toad's abdomen, and a rumbling sound rang out.
