Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

"Shooting Dragon Platform?"

This was the second time Chen Yulou had heard this name.

I learned this from a group of guys when I first landed on the island.

It is said that Emperor Wu of Han passed through this place during his southern tour. At that time, there was a dragon in Dongting Lake that was doing evil, causing storms and eating countless people. Even his dragon boat was trapped on Junshan Island.

The emperor was furious and ordered people to build a high platform. Li Guang held the Lingbao bow and shot several arrows on the stone platform, killing the evil dragon. From then on, the lake was calm.

And that stone platform is called the Shejiao Platform.

"It's a pity that the old foreigner brother is not here, otherwise, he would be the one who should go up and take a look."

Thinking about the legend of Shejiaotai, Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.

Everyone among them had a weapon, but only the old foreigner used a bow.

The most coincidental thing is.

The name of his newly forged large bow was Jiaoshe Bow.

How well does it fit with Shejiaotai?

If we hadn't landed on the island today, everyone would have suspected that this was a premeditated plan.

and……

This name was thought up by him and Li Shuguo, and no one else got involved. As for him, he didn't know much about Junshan Island, so it was impossible for him to be a foresighted person here.

As to whether the rumor is true or false, it is not yet determined.

The most important thing in Taoist practice is fate.

Isn't this an opportunity?

If it was really the Flying General Li Guang who shot the dragon here, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, the old foreigner would be able to get a hint of the true teachings, which would have an unimaginable improvement in his archery skills.

"Boss, how about I go and call him?"

Hear this.

Kunlun volunteered immediately.

"No rush. We will stay on the island for a few months. The Shejiaotai will not fly away. We can come back when we have time."

Waved his hand.

Chen Yulou, with his hands behind his back, walked along the secluded path under the forest towards the top of the mountain.

It is now dusk and the sunlight is no longer as scorching as it was during the day. Walking in the shade of the mountains, the breeze from the lake blows towards you, which is indescribably comfortable and pleasant.

It didn't take much effort.

The group climbed to the top of Longshe Mountain. Just after passing the frontier, they saw a pair of dragon-carved pillars standing in the mountains from afar. They could also faintly see the three ink characters "Longxiangjing" on the lintel.

The pen moves like a dragon and snake, and the painting is as sharp as iron and as clear as silver.

The momentum is amazing and outstanding, like fairy dew and pearls.

You can tell at first glance that it was created by a famous artist.

In addition, in the deep and quiet places, you can hear the sound of gurgling water, which is crisp and lively, like the sound of clear water dripping on a white jade plate.

The quietness makes the place more peaceful.

It makes people stop and feel as if they are wandering in the breeze and still water.

"Ambergris Well..."

Chen Yulou murmured softly, a trace of deep thought floating in the depths of his eyes.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that this name might not be as simple as just being pretentious.

The stories about the existence of dragons, monsters, water monsters, and even real dragons in Dongting Lake are old.

If it were put in the past.

He might just smile faintly and not care.

But after experiencing the incident in Longtan, he realized that nothing in the world comes out of nothing.

Since it is named Ambergris Well, maybe... it really is related to the dragon.

It's not just him.

At this moment, the two people and the deer outside were also attracted by the sound of the gurgling water, and their minds were immersed in it. It was not until the figure in front of them walked slowly again that they reacted and hurriedly followed.

Through the ancient forest.

In just a moment, the group arrived under the pillar arch.

Apart from the three characters "Longxiangjing" on the lintel, the columns on both sides are decorated with carvings of dragons and phoenixes, walking cranes and lying deer, as well as unicorns, tortoises, pines, clouds and mist, all of which are symbols of auspiciousness.

There is a deep well standing on the cliff behind the gate. The well mouth is surrounded by a circle of stone circles with cloud and dragon patterns. The outer edge is built into a ring shape, with a total of three layers of patterns inside and outside.

but.

There is also a stone cover on the wellhead.

Seal the deep well.

A long iron chain extends from the inside of the well to the outside, connecting to a stone dragon head on the cliff.

"Longjing lock?"

Seeing this scene, Yang Fang couldn't help but exclaimed.

He has traveled extensively for many years.

I have heard and seen many such rumors.

The dragon is a mythical beast in charge of water. According to ancient legend, wherever there is water, there is a dragon, from rivers, lakes and seas to springs, ponds, wells and weirs.

Dragons can be good or evil.

The real dragon soars in the clouds and rides on the mist, dives into the deep sea, and never sees its head but its tail.

But the false dragons...are mostly stirring up trouble, eating people and beasts

That's why.

The Locking Dragon Well and Hanging Cambridge came into being.

The most famous one is the Suolongjing in Beixinqiao.

It is said that it was Yao Guangxiao, a demon monk in the Ming Dynasty, who locked an evil dragon in an ancient well. Hundreds of years have passed, and no one dares to open the well.

Yang Fang had never been to the capital.

But I saw the Dragon Well in Cangxiang, Jinling, and the Iron Pillar Palace in Hongdu with my own eyes.

Unexpectedly, after many years, I saw another one on Junshan Island.

The Dragon's Saliva Well in front of us is about one meter square judging from the well cover. Although it is not as good as the Cangxiang Suolong Well and Tiezhu Palace, it is located on Junshan Island and it is very likely that the well leads directly to Dongting Lake.

The possibility of the existence of a dragon is actually the greatest among all the dragon-locking wells.

Locking Dragon Well...

Hear what he said.

Kunlun's heart couldn't help but move, and his eyes lit up in an instant.

He still remembers the ancient pillars and latitudes that suppressed the black dragon in Longtan Mountain that day. If there really was an evil dragon locked up underneath, wouldn't he be able to see the dragon being killed again?

It's not just him.

Yang Fang, who was originally surprised by the Locking Dragon Well, now came to his senses.

Previously, when they had crossed the river by boat and passed Dongting Lake, they had mentioned the dragon in the lake when they stood on the top floor and looked out over the lake. He was still thinking about eating the dragon's blood.

This is what.

dong dong——

Subconsciously.

He looked sharply at Chen Yulou. Although he didn't say anything, his rapid breathing and the heartbeat in his chest had already exposed his inner thoughts.

Only Bai Ze, who understands human nature well, would look at someone like a madman.

Now that he has seen the dragon, he is not afraid or retreating. It seems that he wants to cut the chain and open the manhole cover to take a look?

What if it really is the Dragon Locking Well? If we release the evil dragon inside, wouldn’t it cause a catastrophe?

"open?"

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at the two of them with a playful look.

How could he not understand what these two guys were thinking?

Although he also thought so, if he just left like this, what would be the difference between that and not opening the coffin?

"Open it, Shopkeeper Chen. It would be a shame to miss such a good opportunity!"

Yang Fang rubbed his hands, and a fiery light appeared in his eyes.

I wish I could take action right away.

It would be best to eat dragon meat and drink dragon blood wine at night.

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil and I can't control myself at all.

"What about Kunlun? What do you think?"

Without rushing to reply, Chen Yulou looked at the towering figure with a smile.

"I listen to the shopkeeper."

Kunlun grinned.

However, although he said that, his sharp eyes and the blood flowing slowly under his body like the thundering sound of a tiger or leopard said it all.

"Then what's the delay?"

"Open the well!"

Seeing this, Chen Yulou immediately waved his hand and spoke like thunder.

With his promise, the two of them no longer hesitated and nodded heavily, almost unable to conceal the excitement in their expressions.

Only Bai Ze was half a step behind.

I felt a little hesitant and didn't know whether to go forward to help or what to do next.

In the concepts it has acquired since childhood, seeking good fortune and avoiding danger is an instinct engraved in its bones, and vigilance and caution are something that is integrated into its blood.

There is a high possibility that there is a dragon suppressed in the well now. Why should we open the well if we just take a look?

Isn't this just courting danger?

But this move was approved by the owner.

It could only suppress the fear and anxiety in its heart. Countless thoughts flashed through its mind, and it even thought that if a dragon really broke in from the well, it would protect its master at the risk of its life.

"rest assured."

"If there really is a dragon, it won't be dangerous."

Seems to be able to see into its mind.

While Yang Fang and Kunlun were going around the ancient well, one on the left and one on the right, preparing to work together to pull out the chain, Chen Yulou, who was standing with his hands behind his back, turned around and looked at Bai Ze with a smile.

"Oh……"

Facing his clear and confident eyes.

Bai Ze nodded subconsciously.

slam-la-

As it took a deep breath and tried its best to suppress the panic in its heart.

A sound of iron chains crisscrossing, like thunder, exploded in front of him.

Bai Ze didn't dare to think too much and quickly looked up.

Kunlun grabbed the iron chain which was as thick as his arm and exerted force suddenly. In an instant, the iron chain was pulled out of the stone dragon's mouth.

Yang Fang on the other side was not slow either.

With one foot on the manhole cover and holding the other end of the chain with both hands, his body was like a bow, and as if playing tug-of-war, he pulled the extremely heavy iron chain out of the well little by little.

Both of them followed the path of training the physical body.

At this moment, Bai Ze only felt that the blood and energy in the two people's bodies were like a waterfall. With every move, even the void around them became distorted.

An invisible gust of wind blew across my face.

It couldn't even open its eyes and look straight.

Boom——

at last.

Just as its body was about to collapse, like a fallen leaf, as if it would be torn apart at the next moment, a roar suddenly sounded.

Bai Ze opened his eyes with difficulty.

A bunch of iron chains as big as a hill were thrown casually on the ground.

Kunlun had already sunk down, grabbing the copper buckle on the edge of the well with both hands. With a low shout, he lifted up the stone cover, which had not been opened for who knows how many years and was almost integrated with the stone circle, little by little.

Dust flew everywhere and stone chips flew everywhere.

Scattered all over the floor.

Bai Ze was frightened by what he saw.

Even tigers and leopards would find it difficult to match, right?

However, at this moment, Kunlun is far from being as relaxed as it had imagined. The people who built the Dragon-Locking Well were clearly prepared to completely trap the dragon to death.

The bottom of the well was actually irrigated with molten iron.

This is why the further you go, the greater the resistance you feel.

"Get me... up!"

The shopkeeper and Yang Fang were watching from the side.

Kunlun dared not hesitate.

He took a long breath like a whale, and in an instant, all the energy and blood in his body were mobilized, his blood was like lead and mercury, and there were sounds like gold and jade, and thundering sounds like tigers and leopards. The next moment, his arms bulged high, and his muscles were about to burst his clothes.

A low growl.

The strength in his hands increased several times in an instant.

Bang!

There was a dull sound coming from the well where molten iron was being poured, and then... the huge resistance in his hand was reduced at once. Kunlun's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he grabbed the edge of the well where the stone circle was exposed with both hands.

Under the astonished gaze of the two people and the deer.

It was as if he was grabbing a discus and throwing it heavily to the side.

The manhole cover fell to the ground.

It was like a falling meteorite. When the smoke and dust cleared, all that was left was a pit more than half a foot deep that had been smashed into the spot.

Bai Ze was dumbfounded by this scene, and his heart felt like beating like a drum.

but……

Chen Yulou and Yang Fang didn't pay attention.

Instead, he looked toward the well.

The depths of the two-meter-square cave were pitch black. Just as they had expected, it was bottomless. One could only faintly hear the sound of gurgling water and... the sound of the wind.

"Manager Chen, do you want a fire stick?"

Yang Fang looked down for a while.

Seeing that there was no other movement in the well, he couldn't help but ask.

"hold on……"

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled meaningfully.

"If we start a fire, won't it scare it?"

"Wha...what?"

Yang Fang's hand reaching for the tinder froze for a moment, his face full of surprise.

"coming!"

Chen Yulou did not explain too much, but slowly lowered his hands from behind and let them hang by his side. In the depths of his eyes, which were as quiet as a deep spring, there was a faint gleam of brilliance floating.

Hear the words.

Yang Fang didn't dare to ask more questions.

He slightly bent his body and reached behind him with his backhand until he grasped the handle of the Vajra Umbrella. Only then did his pounding heart calm down a little.

As for Kunlun.

He even took off the halberd behind him early.

His eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at the dark and deep wellhead.

Just wait for the shopkeeper to say 'it'.

"Crash-"

As if to verify what he said, almost at the moment when the word "come" came out.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from the well, which was originally as silent as death. It came from far away and came from bottom to top. It sounded like... something was flying quickly along the wall of the well.

Climbing the wall?!

Could it be a gecko?

Hearing the strange noise, Yang Fang and Kunlun couldn't help but look at each other from a distance, and both of them had a weird look on their faces.

Or...centipede?

Kunlun suddenly thought of the first time he encountered the six-foot centipede in Pingshan. He was attracted by the shopkeeper's spiritual energy, and the old centipede rushed up from the depths of the mountain. The situation was very similar to the current situation.

but.

Dragon Locking Well, shouldn’t the dragon be the one suppressing the chains?

At least it should be a water monster.

Geckos and centipedes don't seem to fit in.

But apart from this, they really couldn't think of anything else that could allow them to hang down from the wall and walk upside down.

slam-la-

Just as the two were thinking about it.

The noises around my ears were becoming more and more alarming, as if a cannon was fired from a gun barrel, at an horrifyingly fast speed.

Seeing this, the two dared not lose their focus for even a second.

One holds a halberd and the other holds an umbrella.

The gas machine locks the wellhead.

The plan was to attack it at the same time the moment it showed up, try to kill it with one blow, and never give it a chance to fight back.

only……

From beginning to end.

Chen Yulou seemed to have never made any movement.

The calmness is terrifying.

There wasn't even a hint of murderous intent from him.

This made the two of them feel confused and puzzled.

But, no matter what, you must remain absolutely serious until you are sure about the monster in the well.

at last……

After a few breaths.

It seemed to have reached the mouth of the well, and its climbing speed had obviously slowed down.

He hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation to escape and slowly stuck his head out.

time.

A pair of round eyes appeared in the sight of the three people.

"Yang Fang, come out...wait!"

Kunlun took a step forward and shouted like thunder, and was about to thrust out with the halberd in his hand, but at the last moment, he seemed to have discovered something and his body stopped abruptly.

There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

The same was true for Yang Fang, who was scout-ing for him on the side.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost, and his hand holding the umbrella handle was frozen in place for a moment.

Just in the blink of an eye.

The thing had already stuck out most of its body.

But it was completely different from the expected evil dragon and vicious dragon.

It was a turtle as big as a calf, with a golden carapace, a big head and a short tail, a snake head and a dragon neck... an old turtle? !

"how come?"

"Can a fucking turtle climb a wall?"

"This... this, is this really a ghost?"

"There is an old turtle locked in the Dragon Locking Well."

Watching the old turtle slowly crawling out of the well, Kunlun and Yang Fang felt as if thousands of horses were galloping through their hearts, and they wanted to curse uncontrollably.

“Don’t underestimate it.”

"This is the famous Junshan Golden Turtle."

"To be able to grow to this size, plus the golden lines on its back, this old turtle must have lived for at least three hundred years. And... don't forget, it is a dragon with true dragon blood."

"It is definitely not comparable to any ordinary old turtle or tortoise."

Seeing the two people's angry expressions, Chen Yulou, who had already expected this, couldn't help but laugh.

A few simple explanations.

At the same time, his eyes fell on the old turtle.

"Senior, am I right?"
