Chapter 115 Chongwen Haiyan (3)
"The monk can't run away from the temple," Feng Shen said to Xun Bing, "Brothers, before the plaster is solid, let's move the iron turtle away and see what is hidden under the well!"

"Okay!" Several Xun soldiers surrounded the mouth of the well, spit in their palms, and shook the iron turtle with their hands.

The iron tortoise is quite heavy, but under the vigorous push of several strong men, it also slowly moved to the side.After a while, a crescent crack appeared at the mouth of the well.

The Xun soldiers were overjoyed, and were about to gather their strength to push again, but they heard a loud cry from behind: "I can't move!"

Everyone was taken aback, and they all stopped.At the same time, a person hastily emerged from the vine behind the rock.The corner of the man's clothes was splashed with a few stars of white paste, and a braid was coiled around the top of his head.The waist is slightly bulging, as if something is tucked in.

Feng Shen raised his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

The man hurriedly said: "I... I am the temple wish here..."

"Temple celebrations?" Feng Shen sneered, "As far as I know, this temple has been abandoned for many years. The incense is gone, and there will be temple celebrations?"

"This..." A trace of panic flashed in the man's eyes, "I used to be... ever since this temple was destroyed, I have returned to my old job as a bricklayer."

Feng Shen said again: "So, you built the crack in the well?"

The bricklayer nodded, "Yes..."

"Brother Feng," Xianggua said, "is he the one we saw on the tower?"

"I guess so," Feng Shen asked the bricklayer again, "There are few people here, why did you block the mouth of the well?"

"Yeah!" All the Xun soldiers shouted: "Also, what were you hiding just now? What did you do to hurt the world?"

"The military masters are really flattering you," the bricklayer said, "I'm just a brick-cutter, what can I do? I didn't know it was the military masters who came here. I was thinking that this place is too far away, and I'm afraid that I might meet bad people..."

Xianggua said angrily: "I still look at you like a villain!"

Feng Shen waved his hand at the muskmelon, then turned his head and asked, "Why can't the well be moved?"

"I can't move!" The bricklayer walked to the well and said, "This is no ordinary well, this is a 'sea eye'!"

"Sea eyes?" Everyone was amazed and asked, "What sea eyes?"

"Well... let's tell the truth to the army masters," the bricklayer sighed, "this well is unfathomable, and it leads all the way to Laoyangli. Not only that, there is an evil dragon locked in this well, so the top is pressed An iron tortoise is guarding it. If the iron tortoise is removed, the evil dragon will escape. At that time, our four or nine cities will definitely suffer!"

Feng Shen said: "How can legends be accurate? It is said that there are dragons in the world, but who has seen them?"

"Officer, don't you believe me!" said the bricklayer, "Isn't our Chongwenmen also called Haidaimen?"

Feng Shen nodded, "It's true."

The mason continued: "The reason why it is called 'Haidai' is precisely because of the sea eye. This ruined temple, originally called 'Zhenhai Temple', has existed since the Ming Dynasty. Look here! "

As he spoke, the bricklayer pointed to the iron turtle shell cover.I saw a line of small characters vaguely engraved on the tortoise cover.

A Xun soldier read aloud: "Tomorrow will be opened in Xinyou July to build Zhenhai Temple for personal use... Oh, it is really a thing from the Ming Dynasty!"

The other also said: "I just remembered it. I heard the book "Biography of Heroes" before, and there seems to be a section about "locking the Dragon Well". It is said that Liu Bowen, the great military adviser, kept Zhu Hongwu sitting. After Jiangshan, the city of Beijing was overhauled. Unexpectedly, when the ground was broken, an evil dragon was offended. The evil dragon thought that the imperial city had occupied its lair, so it clamored to flood the capital. As a result, Liu Bowen was annoyed, and asked for three magic talismans , beat that evil dragon into a well...maybe it really is this well!"

"Nonsense, you must have misremembered. Zhu Hongwu established his capital in Nanjing and moved to Beijing when he became the ancestor! Also, the one who captured the dragon was not Liu Bowen, but the national teacher Yao Guangxiao. After Yao Guangxiao captured the dragon, he returned the dragon The capital was changed to 'Nezha City with Eight Arms', and the evil dragon was crushed forever..."

"It's Liu Bowen!"

"No! It's Yao Guangxiao!"

"It doesn't matter who it is," Xianggua was listening vigorously, and kept pushing aside, "Tell me how the evil dragon was restrained."

Seeing the two Xun soldiers fighting with each other blushing, the bricklayer showed joy.Feng Shen pretended not to see it, and just coughed hard.A few people felt that they had lost their composure, and they all shut up.

"Bricklayer," Feng Shen said, "I don't care about the others, I just want to ask you: You didn't seal this well sooner or later, why did you seal it at this time?"

"Well..." the bricklayer hesitated, "I heard that there was a water monster on the other side of the moat... I was afraid it might be related to the dragon at the bottom of the well... so... I just wanted to come over and have a look, and block the mouth of the well to death. After trouble..."

Feng Shen sneered and said, "You are concerned about the country and the people."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it," the bricklayer sneered a few times and asked, "Then shall I continue to seal it?"

"No need!" Feng Shen said, "I want to see what that dragon looks like. Brothers, move on!"

"Don't!" The bricklayer rushed over anxiously.A Xun soldier wanted to stop him, but he waved him casually and took several steps back.

"Are you tired of your mother's work?" The Xun soldier was furious, and grabbed the bricklayer's collar.

"Don't get angry," Feng Shen patted Xun Bing's shoulder, and said to the bricklayer, "Have you practiced kung fu?"

"Ah?" The mason was stunned, "No... I haven't learned boxing, I just have stupid strength... My lord, those sea eyes can't move!"

"I'm afraid you can't help it," Feng Shen said, "this well must be opened! Cantaloupe!"

Xianggua agreed: "Brother Feng, I'm here."
