Lan Chen frowned and walked along the entrance of the well.
This well is usually used for fetching water and has no other uses.
Could it be that this little sundial is... thirsty?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously placed the small sundial in front of the well mouth, intending to throw it down directly to quench his thirst.
But then I thought about it, this small sundial was obtained from a thief, and it must have a fate, but I can't guess the fate.
"Why do you think so much? You will find out when you get down."
Then he untied the thick rope from the edge of the barrel, tied it firmly around his waist, and slowly walked down the edge of the well.
The hands and feet are used together, like a gecko, to maintain balance and support that damn curiosity.
When you reach the bottom of the well, isn't it just a vast expanse of water?
The walls of the well were wet, and it took a lot of effort for him to hold on and not slide down, was that all?
Lan Chen immediately yelled, cursing the thieves for a good death, and even wanted to throw the sundial directly into the water.
Holding it in his hand, taking a closer look, and playing with it casually, Lan Chen discovered a clue.
This needle... seems to be pointing into the well water.
"Bullshit, you want me to jump down?"
Looking at the rippling well water, Lan Chen felt a little scared, but vaguely, he seemed to have really seen something.
After swallowing hard, he comforted himself [Don't be afraid, you just drink well water on weekdays, there can't be some raging sea monster hiding in it, right? It's so hot today, just jump in and take a shower!]
With a pop, he jumped in.
When I reached out of the water, I shivered for a while.
In the hot summer, the well water is really cool. No wonder people like to put "cold melon", that is, watermelon, in the well and leave it there for a day to enjoy the coolness at night.
After a few breaths, Lan Chen got used to the coolness. He immediately held back his breath and exerted all his strength, and sank into the water, vowing to find out what was going on.
After a few rounds, Lan Chen, who put his head in for air, scolded his mother, "Mom, look at what kind of bullshit this is."
Down below, the water is cool and clear, so you can see clearly.
The bottom is not deep, the walls are still made of bricks, one side of the bottom cannot be seen far away, and the water flow is fluctuating, so it must be the source water.
On the other side is the edge of the wall. After taking a closer look, I realize there is a handle.
Door?
Underwater door!?
There is a "stone floating board" for unknown reasons next to the door.
"Ge Laozi, I quit!"
"Open the door under water? I'm not stupid. The pressure is so low that it will be useless even if a strong man comes."
Just when Lan Chen was about to give up, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Wait? There's no need to open the door. Just open the door..."
Taking another deep breath, he dived into the water and after a few moves, he came to the underwater door.
Thinking silently in my heart...
【Heaven and earth are dark and yellow, changing!】
In an instant, the door suddenly turned into a knife.
Behind the door, instead of a wall, there is a tunnel.
But this also means...
The surging water pressure swallowed it like a glutton!
Without even taking a breath, without even giving Lan Chen a chance to react, he pushed Lan Chen into the tunnel.
But he was well prepared and knew that there would be conflicting water pressures, so he clung to the rock wall tightly to prevent it from being washed away by the current.
But soon, he discovered a problem...
That is, he has no idea how deep the source water is!
If there was an endless supply of water and he was stuck in the middle without air for just a moment, he would definitely die!
[First of all, I don’t know what’s going on in the tunnel. Secondly, if the tunnel swallows up the water from the source, it might also have an impact on Xuzhou. 】
【Damn it, you can do it if you try hard!】
I saw Lan Chen let go of his hand, rushing along the current, and at the same time activated his magical power again.
[Heaven and earth are yellow, ice!]
【ice!】
【ice!】
One after another, ice gates appeared out of thin air, blocking the surging water.
"ha......"
Lan Chen greedily sucked in the air and gasped for air.
He knew that these ice gates would not last long, so he had to continue exploring as soon as possible.
Looking around, it's really a strange place.
Going through the slope tunnel, you will find an empty cave.
Perhaps it has been washed by running water, and there is no rotten smell in the air. It is mostly fresh.
The sound of dripping water is extremely quiet.
"I'm Lan Chen, I'm taking the liberty of paying you a visit, please forgive me, sir."
Lan Chen lowered his head, listening to the few echoes, and judged that the cave was not very big, and there should be no people there.
[Isn’t this nonsense? How can people live in such a ghost place? But this institution is so mysterious, inside...]
Vaguely, Lan Chen felt that there must be the answer here, the 'answer' to why the Lan Mansion was targeted.
[It’s just that I can’t get down now. This ice gate won’t last long, huh? What is this? 】
Lan Chen frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he felt hard in his heart [Damn, this time is crazy enough, so let’s just do it this time!]
He raised his hand and pressed hard on the floating board on the wall stone!
Squeaky...
Through the white crystal ice door, Lan Chen suddenly saw an iron door, falling slowly, and it turned out to be an agency door!
"I go......"
"Your Majesty, you are so brilliant. I deeply apologize for my abruptness. I apologize, but I am superficial. With such an institution, there are even backup doors. It's high, it's really high!"
It turns out that the slate is the mechanism. If he had known it, Lan Chen wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
Perhaps he knew that this underwater mechanism was too inhumane, so the expert specially left a backup door to prevent it from being damaged by a daredevil like Lan Chen.
"Who is the master who caused so much trouble? Ha, I want to come and take a look!"
Playing with the small sundial in his hand, Lan Chen swaggered down the tunnel and soon came to the cave platform.
There was water all around and his clothes were all wet. Lan Chen took off his shirt and stared at the stone pillars in front of him.
There are several stone platforms beside the pillars, with several books and stone slabs placed on them.
After looking left and right for a moment to make sure there were no unexpected mechanisms, Lan Chen walked forward, picked up the paper, and read it. He did not forget to complain, "The entire underwater mechanism is not afraid of getting these things wet."
It doesn't hurt that we'll find out soon.
There is nothing very important in the book.
It's nothing more than an introduction to the origin of the institution.
This underwater mechanism was built by the ancestors of the Lan Mansion. It is considered a forbidden area of the family and only the head of the family knows about it.
"I haven't heard my father say anything about this place. Looking at the spider webs in the corner, it looks like I haven't been here for a long time."
What about honoring one's ancestors and not forgetting the emperor's favor? It's just like an ancestor's instruction, which makes me confused.
Until I saw this paragraph.
"...In the seventh year of the Qian Dynasty, Taizu went to sea to fight. He was traveling on the sea and encountered a storm. He forgot the distance of the road and the speed of time."
"Wandering to a certain place, I was lucky enough to get lucky. When I encountered strange things, it was a deserted place. It was extremely mysterious. I heard that it was a forbidden place. There was a treasure, and it was a treasure that was unparalleled in the world."
"There are also orders. If you hold them, you can bring disaster and dominate the world."
"...I sent him back to Daqian in the desert, and recalled the journey for a long time, recording it step by step."
"I hope that I will remember it later, and when the time is right, I will go there and set up a stone slab. Only the blood of Lan Mansion can be used to open it." This chapter has been completed!
