Chapter 415: Jade Dragon-Locking Well Hides the Cave Heaven

Xie Lingyun turned his head in a daze. On the path behind them, the dense bamboo and trees covered the mountain road, and no one was seen, but he first heard the sound of wooden clogs stepping on the green stone, accompanied by singing entering his ears.

The singing was not a tune, but unrestrained and wanton. Xie Lingyun tilted his head to listen:

"... Xihe's golden carriage has traveled for how long, Wangshu drove the moon to where, I swim up the Milky Way and walk down the Great Wilderness, twelve towers listen to who plays the story."

Xie Lingyun couldn't help but stop and laugh: "This tune is quite interesting. Xihe... it is rumored to be the ancient sun god, but who is this Wangshu, actually able to drive the moon away? Is he not afraid of the Guanghan Feng Xianzi blaming him, or the Taiyin Star Lord capturing him?" He turned his head slightly, wanting to see who the person coming was.

Xie An heard this but lowered his head and nodded, his eyes deep.

He sighed softly: "Years ago, at the Deer Trace Stone of Liushan, I once obtained a remnant of the Immortal Master Ge Hong's alchemy book 'Baopuzi'. Besides the incomplete nine-character mantra, there were also some fragments, one of which was 'Day competes with the last scene of Xihe, evening shines with the remaining brilliance of Wangshu'. It contains the secret of alchemy... Later, I got to know the previous generation fairy of Guanghan Palace and learned that Wangshu is the ancient moon god. This ancient god, whose divine traces are dark and whose name is remote, is already a very secret ancient secret."

At this time, Xie Lingyun had already seen the figure turn out from the hiding place of the green mountains. He was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "So it is Li Taibai!"

"Xie Gong wears wooden clogs to climb the mountain, walking all the way up, with great elegance!" Qian Chen also saw the two people in front and greeted them with a smile.

Xie An nodded slightly and laughed: "Taibai came really early..."

"Oh, I have been staying at the Three Mao Temple for this period of time, so it's not a matter of early or late." Qian Chen explained.

Xie Lingyun's heart moved, and he asked suspiciously: "The Three Mao Temple is a key place guarding the dragon veins of Zhong Shan, and True Person Zhiyuan has always disliked outsiders staying. How did Friend Li move in?"

"True Person Zhiyuan has been tight on money recently, so as long as you pay, you can stay!" Qian Chen said casually. Anyway, the time for the cave heaven to open had arrived, and Xie Lingyun couldn't verify it. True Person Wang Zhiyuan walked out of the Three Mao Temple with a dark face. Hearing Qian Chen say this, he was powerless to refute, but he bowed slightly to Xie An and said: "True Person Xie! I have sat and watched the Dragon-Locking Well for three days. Today at the midnight hour, when the moon is in the middle of the sky, it will be the time for the cave heaven to open."

"Pay money!" Xie Lingyun looked at True Person Wang Zhiyuan in surprise. He had also heard that True Person Wang was refining a magic treasure, and the spiritual grain produced by the Three Mao Temple every year was taken to the Chaotiangong market for sale.

But he didn't expect True Person Wang to be so tight on money.

Li Taibai had always had nothing, and even the rewards from the Copper Sparrow Tower banquet were defaulted on, yet he could afford to stay at the Three Mao Temple. It could be seen that the fee was really not high.

Wang Zhiyuan glared fiercely at Qian Chen and lowered his voice: "You have owed twenty days of talisman money. Are you going to write poetry to pay off the debt today?"

"True Person Zhiyuan can rest assured. I will be in and out of the cave heaven under your nose. After coming out of the Jin Ling cave heaven, I will naturally give you what you want!"

Qian Chen did not hide his transaction with Wang Zhiyuan. After all, letting others know that he promised to find ancient divine texts for Wang Zhiyuan in order to stay at the Three Mao Temple was better than revealing the secret that Li Taibai was Li Er. The former was an open and aboveboard transaction, while the latter could be discovered as the secret of Li Taibai being Li Er.

He could also use this as an excuse to legitimately look after Ning Ning Shimei Si in the cave heaven.

Sure enough, Xie Lingyun was not surprised, and even guessed some of the transactions between Wang Zhiyuan and Qian Chen.

Since Li Taibai killed a dragon at Chaotiangong and acted arrogantly at the Copper Sparrow Tower, he had become famous all over the world. Now everyone knew that he had challenged several True Persons of the aristocratic families at the Copper Sparrow Tower. Now that the Jin Ling cave heaven was opening again, Li Taibai was also one of the candidates with the most strength to obtain the treasures within. Wang Zhiyuan had guarded the Three Mao Temple for decades. If there was nothing he sought in the Jin Ling cave heaven, Xie Lingyun himself wouldn't believe it!

It was natural for the two to have transactions.

Wang Zhiyuan summoned the golden bell and led the way in front. Qian Chen and the others followed quickly, entered the Three Pure Ones Hall with Xie An and the two to pay respects to the three Dao ancestors, and then went around to the back mountain, walked a section of mountain road, and came to that jade well.

The jade well was surrounded by jade stones, with beautiful jade as the well railing. A purple-yang flame copper chain as thick as a sea bowl extended from the stone slab by the well deep into the well.

The last time Qian Chen came here to put in the magic seal, he didn't pay much attention to this place. After seeing the rubbing of the silk book brought by Ning Ning Shimei Si that day, he realized that he had missed some details.

The jade well was extremely ancient, and some ancient symbols were engraved on the well edge. According to Qian Chen's calculation, they were talisman texts recording changes in astrology. A portion of them was the opening law of the Jin Ling cave heaven. The other symbols were too abstract, seeming to have sun, moon, gods, earth veins, dragon patterns, and some calculation symbols that looked extremely profound at a glance. These symbols were engraved on a portion of the jade stones, and there were many missing parts, which gave Qian Chen great difficulty in cracking them.

But it also let him see that most of the jade stones used to build the well railing were repaired later.

The jade stones truly engraved with ancient symbols were broken and ancient, obviously a remnant well that had been repaired several times, and even the order of some symbols appeared wrong.

It was near noon at this time, but it was still extremely cool beside the jade well. The light cast by the sun seemed to flow toward the well mouth and shine into the well. This locked dragon ancient well seemed to really lock a true dragon, breathing the essence of the sun and moon in the well.

"It is rumored that this Dragon-Locking Well can see the moonlight cast by the Taiyin like a pillar of light pouring into the well during the full moon."

"I once visited here years ago and heard the Daoists in the temple introduce that this chain had been recorded as early as the end of the Immortal Han Dynasty. It is rumored to be cast by Fangshi. This well is unfathomable, and this chain is also bottomless. During the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were cultivators who occupied Zhong Shan. It was a great drought, and there were frequent strange movements in the Dragon-Locking Well. It was rumored to be the sound of the true dragon in the well turning over. The cultivator used great magic power to pull out the copper lock in the well, and pulled out three thousand zhang without seeing the bottom. In the end, the pulled-out chain was stained with blood, and yellow mud surged in the well, as if a giant object was tossing in it. The cultivator relied on his high magic power and forcibly pulled another nine chi, and then there was no progress. Only hearing the true dragon wailing in the well, and earth milk seeping out of the well mouth."

"The cultivator was still terrified, so he loosened the chain... That night, the sound of the chain clanking came from the Dragon-Locking Well mouth. The cultivator was cultivating in a cave not far away, but that night he saw a dragon shadow flash, and the next day the cultivator disappeared without a trace." Xie Lingyun told some interesting stories by the well.

Qian Chen laughed: "The son of the dragon god that Wang Longxiang beheaded seems to have such a legend."

Xie An nodded: "That evil flood dragon was locked under the Juchao Lake, with nine iron chain seals passing through its tendons and bones, leading to nine Dragon-Locking Wells nearby, which were seals set by the true disciples of the Dao Academy. The so-called Dragon-Locking Well locks the earth veins and water veins of a place, just like the nine Dragon-Locking Wells that lock the evil flood dragon. It seems to lock the dragon, but it is actually just borrowing the dragon Qi of that evil flood dragon to fix the water veins and dredge the spiritual springs of the Juchao water veins for those nine ancient wells. Before the evil flood dragon escaped, these nine wells not only had sweet water but also spiritual Qi and dragon Qi, and could plant dozens of acres of spiritual fields, which were famous rich villages far and near. Unfortunately, the evil flood dragon flooded, drowning many villagers, and the Dragon-Locking Well was also destroyed!"

"This kind of copper lock is mostly a town object that fixes the earth veins of Zhong Shan. The Feng Shui situation of Jin Ling is unique, as it is the location of the southern dragon veins. Generations don't know how many arrangements there are. If Fangshi took root in the Jin Ling cave heaven and set up a seal to lock the earth veins, it is not surprising!" Xie Lingyun laughed.

Qian Chen nodded in his heart. He was good at this set!

The legend of the true dragon in the well was really vulgar, far less than the 'Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Secret Burial' he set up in the Yuan Magnetic Earth Aperture.

Now the news of that magic cave had vaguely spread to Jin Ling.

The curses suffered by the Xin, Lei, Jin, and Tao families, as well as many surrounding aristocratic families, circulated among many aristocratic family disciples as a taboo. Some time ago, he heard that when an old fox of the Xin family was about to reach the end of his life, he wanted to steal the sky and change the sun to survive, but ended up attracting a mysterious curse. The eight great demon bodies he buried in it followed the Feng Shui of the Xin family's ancestral grave and eroded the old fox, causing it to corpse-change on the spot at night.

It is said that the scene was very terrifying! It scared many people crazy...

The matter of the Yuan Magnetic Earth Aperture magic cave had become a taboo secret in the counties around Guangling.

"To tell the truth, I am more honest. There may not be a dragon locked in the Dragon-Locking Well, but inside the magic cave, I really buried the Taishang Supreme Supreme Tian Mo! And that cultivator pulling the chain and the dragon coming to take revenge at night, it is completely not as terrifying as many aristocratic families breaking into the magic cave and attracting the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo curse, leading to an ominous old age. Now, the Feng Shui treasures around Guangling County, as long as they are connected to the earth Qi of that Yuan Magnetic Earth Aperture, the corpses buried inside, if they have cultivated the Demon Sect method, will all be eroded by the demon Qi, turned into corpse demons, and manipulated by the eight demon bodies in the Iron Hall."

"Now, every time the ancestors of the major aristocratic families in Guangling County are about to reach the end of their lives, it will inevitably trigger a big drama. Let the demon bodies I buried in it come out to breathe and scare a few people crazy. My Iron Hall Demon Suppression is laying out a plan, burying a generation. Here, locking the dragon with copper chains and so on, is nothing more than that!"

"Two more friends have come!" Xie Lingyun looked up at the foot of the back mountain and laughed indifferently.

At this time, a flying boat slowly landed outside the Three Mao Temple. True Person Zhu, True Person Gu, True Person Xiao, True Person Zhou Yin, True Person Yu Liang, who were very familiar with Qian Chen, as well as several other aristocratic family True Persons, walked off the boat one by one, bringing their own younger generation disciples. It was a gathering of aristocratic families, coming together. I don't know if they were stimulated by Qian Chen sword-challenging them all at the Copper Sparrow Tower, or if they were moved by the fact that many people among the loose cultivators had extraordinary strength.

Wang Longxiang came alone, stepping on the mountain path, walking slowly.

He nodded slightly to Qian Chen and stood beside him.

Before long, another Elder from Luo Fu Mountain arrived, riding the clouds while carrying Fu Youzi. From the afternoon onwards, streaks of light from escape techniques arrived continuously from all directions. One by one, disciples of noble families, rogue cultivators, and true transmissions of immortal sects landed in this Sanmao Temple. The Daoist priests within the temple did not mind, simply inviting them all to the back mountain, where they scattered and surrounded the Dragon-Locking Well.

By night, those who had received invitations had basically all arrived, about a hundred people, in groups of three or five, waiting for the opening of the Jin Ling cave heaven. ===== CHAPTER 416 =====
