Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 96 Gumeng Spring

I felt like I was in a dream, I stretched my body, and all the bones in my body rang.The strength in my body is much stronger than before, as if I have undergone a rebirth. Thinking of this, I am even more grateful to that blue dragon. Not only was he willing to sacrifice himself to save me from Zhang Xiuxiu, but he also The life essence in Jiaozhu gave me a great opportunity.

Perhaps it was because of the huge movement made by the big tree being knocked down, there was a burst of footsteps and voices not far away.

I was taken aback immediately, and I didn't care to study the changes in my body anymore, so I hurriedly ran out with two legs, if I was caught by the big tree I fell on, I guess it would be hard to explain. .

I quickly went back to the room and found that the classmates who lived with me hadn’t come back yet. I hurriedly cleaned up the sawdust and glass shards on the floor, took a shower, and went to bed. In a daze, I heard There was a burst of discussion, it seemed that those students were talking about the lack of glass in the windows, but I didn't care, and soon fell asleep beautifully, and it was the next day when I woke up.

After I washed up and ate a few pieces of bread, I was ready to go out to the place where the class assembled. It seemed that I was going to visit a certain famous scenic spot today.When I walked out the door, I found a figure guarding my door.

"Brother Zhuge, what are you doing here?" I said helplessly, and it was Zhuge Jun who was blocking my door.

Zhuge Jun smiled at me and said, "I suddenly remembered some news this morning, which may be useful to Brother Chen."

"Oh, what news?" I yawned and asked casually.

Zhuge Jun said with a mysterious face: "It's about that old guy Xia Lei. I saw Brother Chen was with him yesterday, so I thought this news might help Brother Chen's affairs."

My spirits lifted immediately, Xia Lei is the current Shibi of Qingyi Qiang Village, an old man who holds secrets from thousands of years ago, I really want to know more about him, and Li Xiaohui said that she saw Xia Lei Things without a shadow, also seem to be a haze lingering in my heart.

I nodded, put Zhuge Jun into the room, and said to him: "Then what is it about Xia Lei?"

Zhuge Jun said in a low voice: "Before Xia Lei took over as Shibi of the Qiang people, he and my father were like brothers. Once at a banquet, Xia Lei's old man drank too much, lost control of his emotions, and turned to my father. Covering his head and crying loudly, he said that the Qingyi Qiang people were sorry for the grace of the Qingyi God, betrayed the belief of the entire Qiang people, and fell into the arms of evil spirits. Shibi of their past generations should go to hell. My father didn’t care at that time, but later When he told us about this, he still laughed that Xia Lei would talk nonsense when he drank too much wine. Now it seems that Shibi can't leave Mengding Mountain, and even Qingyi Qiang's getting weaker and weaker is probably the same as that of Xia Lei. It’s related to what he said after drinking.”

I was taken aback for a moment, this Xia Lei actually said that they betrayed their beliefs and devoted themselves to demons. I feel that the few questions I have been wanting to know in my heart may find the answer from what he said.Why did the descendants of Qingyi Qiang hide in the depths of Mengding Mountain and did not return to their ancestral land for 2000 years? The secret of all this probably lies in the demon that Xia Lei mentioned.

I squinted my eyes and made up my mind. I'm afraid I have to find another opportunity to go to the Qiang village deep in the Mengding Mountain. After the Qiang subjugation, what happened to their descendants who hid in Mengding Mountain.

"Brother Chen, this news should help you." Zhuge Jun saw the change in my face and said with a smile.

I nodded, then stared at Zhuge Jun with some weirdness and asked: "Brother Zhuge, I think you are about the same age as that Xia Yuanyang, and your father should be a generation younger than Xia Lei, how can you call him a brother?" ?”

Zhuge Jun blushed instantly, and said: "My father has seven children, and Ya'er and I are the two youngest."

I immediately smiled knowingly, it seems that the old head of the Zhuge family is also a romantic person, he even gave birth to seven babies, tsk tsk, the life of a big family is really different from that of ordinary people.

Zhuge Jun and I said a few more trifles, then we said our goodbyes and left.

I hurried out the door and rushed to the meeting place of the class.I arrived at the place soon. At this moment, the other students had just assembled and were listening to Teacher Jia explaining some precautions. I looked around, but I didn’t find Li Xiaohui. She must have returned to my class. I couldn’t help but Heaved a sigh of relief, Li Xiaohui is actually quite a good person, but she is too carefree and always likes to ask questions. I have many secrets that are not convenient for others to know, so it is better for me to go up the mountain this time by myself.

I listened intently to Teacher Jia's speech, and it seemed that the place I was going to go to today was the most famous wonder of Mengding Mountain, Mengquan Well.

This Mengquan Well, also known as Ganlu Well, is a well-known ancient well in Sichuan and even the whole country, and I have admired its name for a long time.The reason why Mengquan Well is famous is that it has a miraculous function. It is said that as long as the cover of Mengquan Well is opened, it will start to rain in a short period of time around the ancient well, and when the cover is closed, the rain will also fall. It stopped quickly, and many tourists who came to visit didn't believe it, so they stepped forward to uncover the stone cover in person, and after a while, the big raindrops would crackle down, which was very effective after all tests.

Under the leadership of Teacher Jia, we quickly climbed to the top of Mengding Mountain. Under several towering trees, an ancient well surrounded by three-story stone pillars came into our eyes. The ancient well was covered with a stone carved with a dragon Next to the ancient well, there are three ancient stone tablets, engraved with "Dragon Well", "Nanlu" and "Gumeng Spring" from left to right.

The moment I saw this Mengquan well, I suddenly felt an extremely strange feeling in my heart.I don’t know if it’s because of being nourished by the life essence of the flood dragon. Besides my current body has become stronger, my five sense organs have also become more sensitive. When I look at this ancient well, I feel a little unnatural , I always feel that there seems to be something in this well.

"Students, this Mengding Mountain was one of the famous mountains for offering sacrifices in ancient times. It is said that Dayu sacrificed to God here after he succeeded in water control. It is sweet and delicious, and has incredible magical effects. When Wu Lizhen, the master of nectar in the Han Dynasty, planted seven "seeds of Lingming" in Mengding Mountain, he also drew water from this spring, and finally cultivated seven celestial teas. It is said that drinking Fairy tea can become immortal, of course, that’s just a folklore. But since the Tang Dynasty, this Mengding Mountain has paid tribute tea to the imperial court every year. In the Song Dynasty, it was even named the imperial tea garden by the royal family, and it is the son of heaven. A place for imperial use." Teacher Jia stood beside Mengquan Well and introduced the history of Mengding Mountain and Mengquan Well to the students in the class. , the straight-talking students were fascinated, wishing to drink a sip of spring water and taste the taste of the divine spring.

I stood by the side, listening to Teacher Jia's narration, and looking at the Panlong manhole cover on the Mengquan Well, the weird feeling in my heart became more and more intense, and a thought came to my mind, I want to make this Open the well cover to see what is inside, and why an ancient well has so many magical legends.

I looked at Teacher Jia's high spirits, and opened my eyes and asked, "Mr. Jia, can we open the manhole cover of Mengquan Well?"

Teacher Jia was taken aback, but before he could answer, the students around seemed to be inspired by me, and immediately started making noise, clamoring to open the manhole cover to see this holy spring, to see if it was really as the legend said, Open the manhole cover and it will rain.

Teacher Jia was a little helpless, his ears were ringing from the noise of his classmates all around him, and he also had a curiosity about this legendary spring in his heart.He made a silent gesture to the students, and the surrounding area suddenly became much quieter. Then Teacher Jia walked to the side and talked with the staff. He didn't know what they said, but he finally got permission to open the manhole cover.

With a smile on his face, Teacher Jia made an OK gesture to us, and the students shouted excitedly, wanting to climb over the stone railing to open the manhole cover with the dragon carved on it.And I had been waiting for a long time, and now seeing Teacher Jia agreed, I immediately became excited, put my hands on the stone railing, and jumped up to a height of more than one meter. The students behind me screamed, but I also I don't care much anymore, because I am not used to the strength I just gained, so I often use too much force during this period.

I took the lead, and ran to the Mengquan well in the blink of an eye. I stretched out my hands and grabbed the Panlong stone cover that had existed for an unknown number of years. Lift up the manhole cover...
