"It's not good, something is wrong. Lao Jing is eating people again, so everyone hide quickly." With the rapid clanging sound, someone shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of fear.
Li Wenjun frowned slightly. The sound outside was so noisy and panic that he could not calm down and rest. So he blocked the door where Lu Xin was closing and asked, "General Lu, what's going on outside?"
"Master Li Xianjun, it's okay. They are all foolish people and mediocre people who disturb themselves. They will soon calm down. Just rest assured. I'll send someone here to expel irrelevant people." Lu Xin didn't know whether Li Wenjun had a good temper, so he just wanted to send Li Wenjun out of Yanmen Pass as soon as possible. He was not like a traitor.
"What kind of bastards are you talking about? No one sent anyone to investigate, you know that it was someone else who disturbed him? If you are so unconscious, how could the emperor be assured to give you such a border town to control?" Li Wenjun's face was slightly dark and he said unhappy.
Lu Xin's heart skipped a beat. As far as he knew, the emperor was particularly polite to Li Wenjun. Once Li Wenjun tilted his mouth in front of the emperor, he would be the general. He hurriedly said, "Stop the anger of the immortal master, isn't Mo Jiang afraid that he will delay your rest? If you really want to know, Mo Jiang can tell you the reason for the matter, and please don't pursue the mischief that Mo Jiang said just now."
"What do you think?" Li Wenjun asked in a deep voice.
He was not too curious or intentionally showed his ability as an immortal cultivator in front of Lu Xin, but many things that are strange, surprised or afraid in the eyes of secular people are often useful cultivation resources for immortal cultivators. It would be fine if he didn't encounter them. Since he had met them, Li Wenjun naturally didn't want to miss them.
Lu Xin didn't dare to change the subject anymore, and quickly told Li Wenjun about the incident. He had been in charge of Yanmen Pass for many years and was still very familiar with the details.
Yanmen Pass has a very long history. It was built during the previous dynasty and has a history of at least seven or eight hundred years. There are no rivers around Yanmen Pass. The soldiers and residents here mainly draw water through two ways. One is to use a water truck to send it from the pass to Yanmen Pass, and the other is naturally to dig a well.
Several wells are scattered inside and outside the Yanmen Pass, and their history is very long. It is said that Yanmen Pass has been dug before it was built. This well is the "old well" mentioned by the military and civilians of Yanmen Pass.
This well is the deepest among all the wells in Yanmen Pass. Its water quality is also the best, it is clear and sweet, warm in winter and cool in summer. The military and civilians of Yanmen Pass all like to eat the water in the old well. But I don’t know when it started, but this old well began to change without realizing it.
At first, the water in this well became colder and colder. Even in the summer, after the water was pushed up, the water was biting cold. In winter, the temperature around the old well dropped sharply. People would tremble when passing by the well, and the water of the well became even more frozen.
This situation lasted for several years. After the military and civilians at Yanmen Pass gradually got used to the changes in the Laojing, another horrible thing happened. One day, a pregnant woman in Liujia passed by the Laojing because she didn't understand the situation. As a result, a cold current suddenly jumped at the wellhead of the Laojing, rolling up the unexpected pregnant woman and dragging it into the Laojing.
Afterwards, the pregnant woman's family endured the severe cold and climbed into the old well to find someone. Not only was the person not found, but two young men were frozen to death in the old well. When they were pulled up, they all turned into popsicles.
Since then, cold currents have emerged from time to time, dragging people into the well. Rumors have been said that Laojing has become a spirit and needs to eat people to fill his stomach.
Li Wenjun frowned, and another legend of becoming a spirit. He asked, "Hasn't you, the general of Yanmen Pass, ever thought of a solution?"
Lu Xin said with a grievance: "Master Li, why haven't the general thought of a solution? I have organized local elites and soldiers to investigate Laojing more than once. Every time, I have gained nothing except for a few lives in vain. I have also prepared generous gifts, invited the worshipers of the sacrificial sects, and passed by immortal masters to watch, but every time I have gained nothing.
Later, I had no choice but to collect heavy stones and cover the wellhead of the old well. However, not long after, I found that the stones covering the wellhead disappeared, and the old well continued to eat people. Until now, I had no choice but to let the military and civilians of Yanmen Pass stay away from the old well."
Li Wenjun pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is that old well? Take me to see it?"
"This..." Lu Xin hesitated. He was the general, a second-rank military officer, and his subordinates had more than 10,000 troops. He asked him to follow Li Wenjun to the old well. He really didn't want to go.
Li Wenjun glanced at Lu Xin with a straight eyebrows and said unhappily: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Why, General Lu, do you still want to say the word "please" below?"
Lu Xin heard Li Wenjun's displeasure, and cleverly said in his heart, "The Immortal Master should calm down the wrath of thunder. Mo Jiang is just worried that he is not familiar with Lao Jing's situation and is afraid that he will mislead the Immortal Master's affairs. Mo Jiang is still very relieved about the safety of the Immortal Master."
Li Wenjun snorted, took the lead, and walked outside.
Lu Xin stomped his feet in annoyance, but he didn't dare to really not follow Li Wenjun, so he had to grit his teeth and trot with Li Wenjun, leading Li Wenjun towards the so-called old well.
After a while of panic escape, the wall city seemed very deserted. Both the military and civilians hid, and the streets were in a mess. Only a few lanterns hanging at the doors of the houses emitted a faint dim light.
After all, Lu Xin was the general of the first pass and was still brave. He calmly ordered a Biao personal soldier. Then, under the escort of the Biao personal soldier, he accompanied Li Wenjun towards Laojing together.
Laojing is in a corner of the urncheng. This place was originally the most prosperous place in Yanmen Pass, but as the rumors of Laojing becoming a spirit spread, the residents around Laojing have basically moved away. Usually no one dares to pass around Laojing, so it has become deserted. Standing next to Laojing, you can clearly see that the doors and windows of the surrounding residents are covered with spider webs. It is obvious that no one has been here for a long time.
