Chapter 374

Li Qingcheng started practicing swords when he was six years old. One summer, he followed the sword servant Li Changfu to practice swords in his ancestral home. There was a well in the southeast of the yard, and the water quality was sweet.

One day, when his sword path was revealed, he opened the first acupoint, he felt thirsty, so he ran to the well to draw water. When he came to the well, he suddenly felt that a shadow flashed through the wellhead. His young mind and curiosity were great, so he lay down at the wellhead to watch.

At this moment, a strange force suddenly came from the well, covering his whole body, pulling him into the well. Li Qingcheng was shocked and grabbed the well eaves hard, trying to shout, but he couldn't speak. The power seemed to be full of temptation, and like someone whispering in his ear, his whole body was not controlled by himself, and he thrust into the water with a thunderous sound.

Fortunately, Li Changfu rushed over and rescued him, but Li Qingcheng was frightened and had been ill for half a month. Li Xiaohua had searched countless doctors in the city, but could not cure this strange disease. It was not until later that he invited the previous generation of Doctor Xue. After visiting, he prescribed a medicine and used the water in the well. After several days, Li Qingcheng recovered. Surprisingly, after this serious illness, Li Qingcheng's understanding of swordsmanship increased greatly, and he rarely got sick. However, after this difficulty, Li Qingcheng was also afraid of his ancestral home and this well. Li Xiaohua ordered someone to seal the wellhead with blue bricks, lay stone slabs, and opened a well outside the yard.

This incident has passed for a long time. If it weren't for today's incident, Li Qingcheng would never have remembered it. He told Xiao Jinyan the story.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Is there any secret to the well you mentioned? Do you still remember the location of the wellhead?"

Over the years, the Li family's ancestral home has been spent on repairs every year, but the overall structure has basically not been changed. Li Qingcheng walked around the yard and stopped at one place, saying, "If you remember correctly, it should be here."

Li Qingcheng went to the woodshed and found a shovel and handed it to Xiao Jinyan. Xiao Jinyan said, "Why is me?"

"You can't let the third young master of the Li family in Jinling do such rough work, right? Besides, I lost all my martial arts skills, so it's better for you to do this kind of hard work."

Xiao Jinyan was speechless and took the shovel. Here, his two string forces were suppressed and he could not mobilize the true energy of heaven and earth. He could only throw away his strength and dig it up. For about half an hour, the pit was dug a half feet deep, but he never saw the well that Li Qingcheng said.

"You can't remember it wrong, do you?"

Li Qingcheng said, can I remember even my own things wrong? You just keep digging. Xiao Jinyan stepped on the shovel and suddenly heard a "ding" sound, as if he had touched a hard thing. He dug a few more times, and dug out an iron plate from the ground.

The iron plate is two feet square and buried underground all year round. It is already rusty and looks like ordinary pig iron. One side seems to have handwriting. The two found sandpaper and polished it carefully before vaguely identifying the words on it.

Lee Ji Teppanyaki!

"This..." Xiao Jinyan looked at Li Qingcheng and said, "It turns out that your ancestors of the Li family are still in this business?"

Li Qingcheng spread his hands and said, "How do I know? Maybe it was because of a good man who made trouble on purpose." He stood at the entrance of the cave and muttered, "Strange, if there was an ancient well, I was probably digging it out long ago, so why would it take so much trouble? Could it be that I remembered it wrong?" He came to another place again, "Or why do you try this place?"

Although Xiao Jinyan has high martial arts skills, he has never done such a thing, and he cannot use his internal strength. He is already so tired that his back is sore and he can't help but say annoyed, "It seems that you don't have a good memory."

Xiao Jinyan urinated anxiously, and saw no one around, facing the hole

After a while, Li Qingcheng said, "Can you be more serious?"

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "Monkey King ran to the 'Five Fingers Mountain' of Tathagata Buddha and left a souvenir. You asked me to have some time, so what happened to peeing?"

He was about to be excavated when he suddenly became alert and said, "Is someone here?"

Xiao Jinyan pulled Li Qingcheng and climbed onto a tree. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he looked down. Soon, more than ten swordsmen came to their ancestral home, the group of people who were chasing them during the day.

Li Xiangzhong also came to his ancestral home.

"Manager Li, our people saw Li Qingcheng's surname Xiao Di entered this house, but in order not to alert the enemy, they did not rush in."

Although Li Xiangzhong is an elder of the Li family, he is not a direct descendant within the fifth generation, and this ancestral home has also gone to. He looked up and down and saw the hole Xiao Jinyan dug, and frowned, "Go and see if you find anything."

A ghost Fanlou Jian came forward to investigate, grabbed the pineapple soil and sniffed it, and threw it on the ground, "This tastes wrong."

Not far away, Xiao Jinyan laughed secretly, and he would have known that he would have had a big game.

Li Xiangzhong was patrolling the venue and found the iron plate not far away. He picked it up, put the torch over, and recited, "Li Ji Teppanyaki? Is this the secret that Li Xiaohua said?"

The Jianshou said, "In my opinion, these two people have not escaped yet. I guess they have not had time to take us away when they see us."

"You guys keep here, I'll report to the patriarch." After that, Li Xiangzhong took the iron plate and left his ancestral home.

The swordsman of Gui Fanlou occupied the entire ancestral house. The two hid in the dark, either going in or retreating. Xiao Jinyan whispered, "Why don't I go and lead them away, and you try to escape?"

Li Qingcheng shook his head, "The well has not been found yet. If I leave like this, I will not accept it."

In the courtyard, several swordsmen were patrolling. On the left side of the south gate, there was a bronze bell. One swordsman was idle and picked up the hammer and knocked hard.

Dong!

The bell rang and echoed in the ancestral home.

Another person said, "Fourth, what are you doing?"

He was replaced by the fourth brother's swordsman and smiled, "Anyway, there's nothing to do. If you ring the bell, you might be able to make any noise."

The man said, "Don't knock that thing, it's unlucky in the middle of the night."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another bell ringing in the middle of the night. The man was startled and said, "I told you not to ring it."

The fourth brother said, "I didn't knock, it wasn't me."

"There is only a bell in the yard. It wasn't you who knocked it. Could it be that I did?"

The two were arguing, and suddenly they heard a bell ringing again. It was obvious that the bell sound did not come from the entrance of the courtyard, and this time the sound was not as crisp as the previous bell sound, but a vague sense of heaviness.

Everyone was alert. The swordsman in charge ordered people to investigate everywhere, but they could not find the source of the bell. At this moment, the bell rang again.

The fourth brother pointed to the ground in the yard, with a look of fear on his face and said, "The sound of the bell came from the underground!"

"What nonsense? Even if the bell is buried underground, you can't ring it!"

Dongdong, Dongdong.

No more or less, a total of eighteen strokes.

Everyone was very convinced that the bell was indeed coming from the ground.

A gust of cold wind blew, and everyone got goosebumps all over their bodies, "What a fucking evil!" Although everyone was all Gui Fanlou's swordsman, his martial arts skills were not weak, but

What we are encountering now is too evil, and fear arises in our hearts.

But someone didn't believe in evil. He saw the shovel on the ground, picked it up, dug it up in a row, digging it open. Soon, a stone slab was exposed, lifting it open, and it turned out to be a dry well!

The swordsmen surrounded him and looked down into the underworld.

There seemed to be a shadow shaking in the ancient well, and the fourth brother shouted, "There is a ghost!"

The leader cursed, "What are you afraid of? I don't say anything about strange powers and messing with gods. Someone must be pretending to be a god. Don't forget, these are what our Guifanlou is best at."

Guifan Tower is independent of Yinyang City, and most people in Yinyang do not know where this place is. Sometimes, if people accidentally break into Guifan Tower's territory, they will pretend to be a ghost and scare them, so that they can hide in the area where they are hiding, and there are legends of haunted ghosts.

"Besides, even if there are really ghosts, we can't resist the many people. Fourth, you go down and take a look first."

The fourth brother retreated repeatedly and sat on the ground. No matter what the leader said, he refused to go down the well. The leader said, "Hey, there is a beautiful woman in the well. You are missing a wife. If you go down and grab it, it's yours."

The fourth brother leaned forward and the leader kicked him down, "When you come up, I will buy you a wife in Jinling City!"

He heard a thump.

The leader shouted into the well, "What have you found?"

The fourth brother did not answer, and the leader shouted a few more times, but he still couldn't get feedback from the fourth brother. So he looked at the rest of the people, who were obviously very afraid of him and avoided his gaze. The leader said angrily, "On weekdays, they pretend to be heroes, and whenever they encounter something, they are all cowards. If you don't go, I will go down!"

He ordered someone to bring a torch, found another rope, tied it to a basket, and prepared to sit down.

Before he went down, he said, "You are waiting here. If I pull the rope twice in a while, I will confirm that it is safe. If I pull the rope three times, you will pull me up. Do you remember?"

Everyone nodded, "Brother, remember."

The leader held a sword in his left hand and a torch in his right hand. He was sent down the well by everyone. More than ten feet of rope were sent down the well bit by bit. In a moment, seven or eight feet were sent down.

The person above asked, "Brother, have you noticed it?"

Hearing the underground leader shouted, "Yes."

“What discovery?”

"The fourth brother fell to death! Unexpectedly, his mother's well was so deep!"

Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng were on the tree and took all this into their eyes. Fortunately, everyone was paying attention in the dry well and did not notice them.

He asked in a low voice, "If there is really a secret hidden in this well, I'm afraid they will find it. What should I do?"

Li Qingcheng said, "At that time, I felt that there was something strange in the well, but I was in awe and didn't dare to go down. Now the Li family is in danger. If there is a secret to saving the Li family in the ancient well, even if it is a dragon's pond and tiger's den, we have to go through it."

At this time, seeing the rope pulling three times, one person said, "Brother is coming up!"

Everyone hurriedly pulled the rope hard, "Why is it much lighter?"

Someone joked, "Maybe the eldest brother was pulling a slut underneath!"

When the basket was pulled up, everyone was stunned.
