Chapter 552
The icy cold water made Chen Ziyang feel unable to move. After soaking in such a cold pool for a while, he felt his hands and feet were cold, and he seemed to be a little out of control.

So he used all his strength to swim as fast as possible, so that with the help of strenuous exercise, he could raise his body temperature in a short time.

Because the flashlight was hung on his waist, Chen Ziyang couldn't see the situation over there clearly, and the faint spot of light he saw seemed to come from a flashlight, but the light beam of the flashlight It is relatively weak, probably because the battery is running out of power, and this flashlight seems to be shining in the direction in front of me. Only when the flashlight moves left and right, can I vaguely see some light.

In order to maintain his strength and fight against the coldness of the pool water, Chen Ziyang did not continue to yell, as that would affect his swimming speed, he just kept swimming facing the direction of the light spot.

As the distance approached, Chen Ziyang vaguely saw a huge black shadow standing above the light spot of the flashlight. This black shadow was very thick and very high, as if extending upwards. There is no end, and the whole black shadow feels like an extremely thick pillar.

Looking at this black shadow, Chen Ziyang guessed that a pillar-like thing should have reached the bottom of the previous maze, maybe it was a pillar supporting the maze.

It seems that the ground of the entire underground palace was suspended in the air before, and there is this huge space below, and the bottom of the space is this water pool.

Chen Ziyang felt that he was really very lucky. He thought he was going to die when the underground palace collapsed, but he didn't expect that the whole ground collapsed all of a sudden. of stones.

Thinking about it now, the reason why the ground of the underground palace collapsed may be because the nearby ground was smashed through by another huge rock, which caused the entire ground of the underground palace to collapse. If there is no stone layer, there is no possibility of escaping.

"I don't know if Lei Zi and Brother Shan are so lucky, and if they were not knocked down by rocks." Just as Chen Ziyang was thinking about this matter, he suddenly felt as if his feet had touched each other. Hard object.

Immediately afterwards, he swam forward a few more times, only to realize that the pool seemed to have become shallower here, and what his toes touched should be the bottom of the pool.

Chen Ziyang was overjoyed by this discovery. Because the water in the pool was too cold, his physical strength was lost very quickly, and his body temperature dropped dramatically. Basically, he had reached the limit. The bottom of the pool undoubtedly became a life-saving straw. He hastily put his feet on the ground.

This down-to-earth feeling reassured Chen Ziyang a lot, but he still didn't dare to stay too long in the cold pool water, so he stepped on the hard stones at the bottom of the pool, dragging his tired body forward.

With the help of the flashlight, Chen Ziyang found that he had come to the edge of the pool, where the open space was very wide.The slope at the bottom of the pool was also very small. After walking forward for a long time, he finally walked out of the pool completely.

Although he was almost exhausted now, Chen Ziyang still didn't dare to stop. Instead, he gritted his teeth and jumped up and down in place, hoping to increase his body temperature. If he was on the ground, he was afraid that he would pass out, and that he would probably freeze to death here.

Then he shone the beam of the flashlight in his hand into the distance, and found that the area of ​​this space was very large, and there was no end to the large open space at the edge of the pool.

Now he could see clearly that there was indeed a person standing near the huge stone pillar-like black shadow, as if he was busy with something, and there were several other people lying there near this person.

"Lei... Leizi... Umbrella..." Chen Ziyang, whose lips were white from the cold, didn't even have the strength to shout, so he forced himself to walk in that direction.

Maybe it was because the flashlight beam in Chen Ziyang's hand shone on that person, which caught his attention, and that person turned around.Chen Ziyang saw that the person standing was neither Yang Lei nor Samshi Shuai, but his fifth grandfather Chen Benzhong.

Seeing Chen Ziyang walking towards him, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Chen Benzhong's mouth. Then he faced Chen Ziyang, pointed to the few people beside him, and turned around to get busy again.

At this time, Chen Ziyang's mana had recovered a lot. He hurriedly activated his mana, dispelled a lot of cold air, and walked forward for a certain distance before he could see clearly.The place Chen Benzhong pointed to lay three people side by side.

One person's body outline is different from the other two people, it should be a woman, and the backs of the other two people are very familiar, it should be Yang Lei and Sanshi Shuai.But because these people were lying face down on the ground, Chen Ziyang did not see their faces.

Seeing his two brothers all of a sudden, and not knowing where the strength came from, Chen Ziyang rushed over with a few strides, turning Yang Lei and Shanshi Shuai over at once.

At the moment when the two of them were turned over, Chen Ziyang was very nervous. He was very afraid that when he turned the two of them over, he would see the corpses of his two brothers.

Fortunately, this uneasy feeling only lasted for a second and then disappeared. When Chen Ziyang turned the two of them over, he was overjoyed to find that the two of them were still alive, and they didn't seem to have suffered any injuries from the outside. , but then he was surprised again.

At this time, he found that Shuai Shi and Yang Lei were both tied up, their hands were tied to their chests, their feet were tied together, and their mouths were also gagged up.

"This..." Chen Ziyang who didn't understand what happened hastily raised his head, wanting to ask Chen Benzhong what was going on.But when he raised his head just now, he only felt a black shadow attacking his face, and then his consciousness became blurred.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Ziyang woke up and felt that his cheek was very painful. He wanted to reach out and touch his face, but found that he had been tied up like Yang Lei and the others. It was solid, and his mouth was blocked, so he couldn't make any sound at all.

A sense of crisis suddenly surged in Chen Ziyang's heart. According to his judgment, there was no one else here, so the person who kicked himself unconscious just now should be Chen Benzhong, but why did this old man do this?

He hurriedly turned his head to look at the surrounding situation, but the moment he turned his face away, he saw a pale woman's face.The woman's eyes widened in horror, her face was covered in blood, she was already dead, and her expression was grim.

The sudden and horrifying scene startled Chen Ziyang, but then he calmed down and found that this woman was Aunt Yun who had been standing in the small courtyard in a daze before.

One part of Aunt Yun's skull has been deformed, and she should have died after being hit on the head by something like a blunt object. The blood on Aunt Yun's face flowed from there.

This discovery made Chen Ziyang's heart hang again. It seems that Aunt Yun should be beaten to death with sticks or something. Nei was killed by Chen Benzhong, so he hastily turned his head in another direction.

Yang Lei and Shanshi Shuai were lying side by side beside him, and they also cast their gazes over at this time.The three brothers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that each other was safe and sound, and Chen Ziyang also calmed down.

Just now, if you really cared about it, you would be confused. Now that you think about it, it is very likely that the wound on Aunt Yun's head was caused by falling rocks. She should have been killed by falling rocks, not by Chen Benzhong.

But then Chen Ziyang didn't understand again, why did this old guy tie up three people, and what was he busy with over there?Thinking of this, he raised his head and observed the surrounding environment.

Now Chen Benzhong placed all the flashlights he could find around, illuminating this small area. With these lights, Chen Ziyang saw that the place where the original few people were was exactly on that huge pillar. Near the same thing.

It was only at this time that he realized that this was indeed a pillar, but the style of this pillar was very peculiar. The pillar was composed of four dragon-shaped sculptures joined together.

These four giant dragons descended vertically from above, and then spread out suddenly after reaching a height of several meters above the ground. Pavilion-like building.

Then the four giant dragons touched the ground, gathered towards the center again, and connected with something like a huge circular well, above which there was a square cover.

The wall of the well is very thick, and the square cover seems to be placed in the center of the well. Judging from the appearance, the bottom of the cover should be hollow, and this should indeed be a well.

After using the yin and yang eyes, Chen Ziyang found that there was a small amount of dragon air flowing in the four dragon-shaped sculptures. These dragon air gathered in the middle well along the four giant dragons, and the water wells in the middle and above the well Even he was surprised by the strength of the dragon energy contained in the square cover.

It seems that these four giant dragons are the four dragon-shaped sculptures that gathered in the small courtyard before, but they did not expect that these four giant dragons actually extended here, and at this time they were displayed in front of Chen Ziyang. These four giant dragons are extremely beautifully carved.

Every line that makes up these four giant dragons is extremely natural, and even every scale on the four giant dragons seems to be able to be picked off at will, as if the four dragons were not carved, but real dragons turned into stones.

Moreover, the square cover on the circular well is not ordinary, with countless mountains and rivers carved on it, which is much more exquisite than the picture of mountains and rivers in the four seas that Chen Ziyang saw in the house in the small courtyard. up.

And it may be because of being nourished by the dragon's energy all the year round, coupled with the fact that it contains a lot of dragon's energy, under the eyes of Yin and Yang, Chen Ziyang saw that there seemed to be auspicious clouds surrounding the mountains carved on the square cover .

Under the embellishment of these auspicious clouds, the originally flat stone carvings give people a three-dimensional feeling, as if the mountains and rivers on the square cover are all standing in front of them, rather than being carved on a plane.

"Golden well! It turns out that this is the real golden well, and the small courtyard above is just a cover-up!" After seeing the dragon aura contained in the circular well-like building, Chen Ziyang finally understood. It is the hole where the entire group of dragons knock their heads, and the center of the dragon veins of the entire Qing Dynasty.

The entire labyrinth-like underground palace, coupled with the courtyard with many traps, and the map of mountains and rivers in the courtyard, are all deceptions, all fake, and the real Dragon Vein Golden Well is here.

"Great handwriting! Really big handwriting!" Chen Ziyang sighed in his heart.Who would have thought that after going through so many difficulties, walking through such a big maze, and deciphering the courtyard with many traps, what he finally got was only a fake.

If Yoshioka Anzai hadn't crashed into the maze above, if the entire ground of the maze hadn't collapsed, several people might not have discovered this huge secret until they died.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang finally understood the reason why he was lucky enough to be rescued. It seems that when building here, the builders were very worried that if the maze above collapsed, the golden well below would be smashed, so they used Very special structure.

These four dragon-shaped stone sculptures are actually like indestructible pillars, carrying the underground palace above Jinjing and holding up the small courtyard. The maze above collapsed, smashing the entire ground of the maze, but there was still no way to hurt the golden well below.

Looking around, there is nothing else around except the golden well and the real picture of mountains and rivers covering the world above the golden well.Could it be that the Dragon Qi in Jinjing is what Chen Benzhong and Yoshioka Yasao have been striving for for 70 years?
Looking at Chen Benzhong who was busy around Jinjing, doubts appeared in Chen Ziyang's heart.Dragon Qi dominates the fortune of a dynasty or a region, and ordinary people simply cannot bear it. Even if you find the golden well and the large amount of dragon energy contained in the golden well, what's the use?
With this thought in mind, he looked carefully at Chen Benzhong, and found that this hundred-year-old guy was bending over the ground, lying on the ground around Jinjing, and kept drawing something with the pen in his hand.

Now Chen Benzhong is holding a brush in one hand and a box filled with gold powder in the other hand. He is dipping the brush into the gold powder and writing weird spells on the ground. Most of the ground around Jinjing, it looks like his work is almost done.
