Chapter 0359: The Strange Ancient Well (Part II)
On the second day, everyone in the village knew that a young man in Tsing Yi who was passing by came to the old man's house, who was a strong man and helped the village fetch water. So, everyone came to see it and thanked them.
Regardless of whether they ate the water of Amu or not, they all sent a lot of food to Mr. Mu's family, saying that they were entertaining guests. Those things, all kinds of weird. There are some fruits and things that Amu has never seen and heard of.
But after tasting a few, the taste is quite sweet. Dongling Mountain, the products are by no means ordinary.
Uncle Mu didn't touch some things, as if he had some scruples, but let Amu and Huzi eat them.
Huzi was fine today, but in fact, he was busy seven days a month, carrying water for everyone. Everything on weekdays is provided by the people in the village, and they are at ease.
However, he left early this morning. Uncle Mu was very strange, so he asked Amu Huzi what he was doing.
Amu smiled: "Uncle Mu, Brother Huzi was trained by you yesterday, and today he said that he is going to do business!"
"What is the right business? His main job is to fetch water for the village, and today he is twenty-two years old, how can there be any water?" said the old man Mu on crutches, looking at the special poultry in the courtyard.
"Haha!" Amu said with a smile, "He said he wanted to build a stone house!" and asked me to stay for a few more days and help him finish building the stone house before leaving!"
"Oh?" "Old Master Mu thought that Huzi was a whim last night, but he didn't expect Huzi to act today, "It's not promising, I usually don't work in a hurry or slow, but marrying a daughter-in-law is a monkey in a hurry!"
Old man Mu scolded with a smile, but pinched his fingers and counted, sighed and said: "The tiger is not small, it is time to marry a daughter-in-law and continue the incense!
As he spoke, Old Man Mu thoughtfully and staggered out the door.
Uncle Mu's words were a little strange, but Amu didn't care too much. He didn't know if Mr. Mu had discussed Huzi's marriage with a few old people in the village. He himself had important things to do.
After cleaning it up, Amu didn't carry his own green cloth bag and put it in Mr. Mu's house, and Amu was also relieved. In this village, the people are simple and simple, and no one will mess with other people's things, and besides, there are no particularly important things in the green cloth bag except for some spirit coins.
Amu took the dagger with him, went out of the old man's house, and went straight to the ancient well in the back mountain along the mountain road.
This back mountain, in fact, is nothing, and the people in the village don't come at all on weekdays. Huzi came to Houshan the most, but he didn't come much except for the seven days of fetching water. It's a secluded place.
Amu went to the ancient well in the back mountain alone, looked around, there was no change in the slightest, but he felt that the back mountain in the day was much brighter than in the night, and it was very ordinary.
In the middle of a few ancient trees, there is the ancient well, but at this time, you can see that the mouth of the well is covered with moss, and the chain hangs at the mouth of the well.
During the day, there was no fog, and Amu looked over, and at some point, the wellhead was actually covered with green vines, almost covering the entrance of the cave.
The vines were attached to the ancient tree next to it, and it was probably dark last night, and Amu didn't pay attention.
Amu was surprised that it had grown so much in the middle of the night, but he didn't see anything special, just ordinary vines.
With a wave of the dagger in his hand, those vines were directly cut off, and they fell one after another, revealing the wellhead.
A cold vapor, from the bottom up, but it is normal, but there is no well water.
Amu still couldn't see the bottom of the well, it was dark, the same as last night. This time, Amu didn't throw the stone again, but lifted the chain with one hand, but the chain didn't move.
"Hmm!" Amu frowned, he had asked Huzi last night. Did the villagers make this chain?
Huzi said no, in his memory, there is this ancient well, there is this chain. Mu Laozhang also confirmed Huzi's statement that this chain and the ancient well are one. Old Master Mu didn't know how many years they had existed.
Amu used two forces, which weighed 10,000 catties, but the chain did not move at all, as if he was born in the well.
Amu actually still has the strength, but he doesn't dare to use it anymore.
Because, in this case, this chain must be attached to the technique, otherwise the liliang of Amu is buried in the deep mountains, and it is enough to pull it out.
Even if it can't be pulled out, such a thick chain will definitely not be able to support Amu's divine power, and it will have been broken a long time ago.
This well, there must be some prohibition, if it is attached to the spell of the immortal family, then with the current Amu, it will not be broken. Thinking of the strange force of the water last night, there may be something sealed at the bottom of this well. It's just that I don't see any clues now!
Amu decided to come back tonight because it was the first night without water in the dry well. The yin qi at night is heavier, and the general spells will have different changes at night.
Before leaving, Amu drew a few sigils with branches around the dry well.
These sigils are naturally good, but the runes carved by Amu now have almost no liliang. Amu is just trying to see what unexpected changes this dry well can bring.
After getting these things done, Amu felt that there should be no harvest during the day, so he turned around and went back to the village.
However, Amu no longer has any sense of the devil and does not sense it. Soon after he turned around, the vines that he had cut off emitted a green glow, and they kept shaking and curling, as if they were about to grow again. But at each incision, there was a faint glow like Amu's dagger.
Those vines, if they want to recover, can't.
"Giggles!" a faint chuckle of pleasure from a very small woman's soft well came from the dark dry well. However, as soon as the sound passed, Amu would never be able to hear it.
In the entire back mountain, the ancient trees are still the same, and the mountain breeze is still the same, but there is a different atmosphere, which begins to disperse.
On the edge of the ancient well, the runes carved by Ah Mu have not changed in the slightest for the time being.
Amu returned to a small village in the mountains. Huzi didn't know where he had gone, and he hadn't come back yet. Uncle Namu didn't come back, it seems that what was discussed was really a marriage event.
Amu entered the room alone, leaned on the rattan chair, and simply took out the Dongling Domain Chronicle prepared by Ya'er for himself and opened it, trying to find out if there was any record of the ancient well.
This Dongling domain chronicle is very comprehensive, and all the sects and factions of Dongling, all mountains and demons are recorded. However, the small village where Amu is currently located is too small and not a famous mountain, so there is no record in the Dongling Domain Chronicle.
As for the ancient well in the back mountain, it is impossible to mention.
It's just that in the part that introduces the Dongling Demon Clan, Amu saw such a paragraph.
"Legend has it that the three major demon departments in ancient times were guarded by heavenly demons and demon generals. However, thousands of years ago, the Great War of the Three Realms, most of the heavenly demons and demon generals fell. Now the five major demon clans in Dongling, although they have been inherited from ancient times, have not seen the heavenly demons, and the demon generals have been traced, which is quite a pity. The hundred races of the demon realm, all kinds of strange, scattered, it is really the misfortune of the Three Realms!"
Amu doesn't know who this Dongling Domain Chronicle came from, but his attitude towards the demon clan is indeed extremely objective and fair, and he doesn't regard it as an anomaly, so he must be a monk of Brahma Temple or a strange person from Dongling.
The Demon Realm Hundred Clans, Heavenly Demons, Demon Generals, Amu suddenly remembered that well, could it be that there was some demon clan's power sealed underneath?
Thinking of this, Amu's mind became eager.
After a sullen morning, when Mr. Mu came back at noon, his face was full of joy, saying that Huzi's marriage had eyebrows, and the marriage would be done before the end of the year.
It's just a pity, Amu estimates that he can't participate, if he goes to Dongyang Ancient Temple to worship the Buddha and comes back, it is best to go to the village to sit, maybe he can really catch up with Huzi's marriage.
When Amu heard this, he smiled and asked where the girl was? Mr. Mu just said that it was not far, but he didn't say where it was. Amu didn't ask in detail, presumably it hadn't been completely negotiated, and it was hard for Mr. Mu to say, but so quickly, Amu estimated that it was the girl from the village family. But there are too few of the eighteen families to choose from.
At dusk, the tiger came, covered in blue and gray.
When Mr. Mu and Amu asked, they learned that Huzi had climbed a mountain and found a stone mine. I was busy all day, and I got a lot of boulders, so I just asked Amu to help me tomorrow, carry it back, and build a stone house.
Amu smiled and agreed. Uncle Mu just snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and didn't tell Huzi about marrying a daughter-in-law for him. It seems that Uncle Mu deliberately concealed it from Huzi, and Amu didn't say anything.
After eating at Uncle Mu's house, Huzi did not stay, but went back to his cave to enjoy the warm winter and cool summer, which was very comfortable.
At night, Amu and Uncle Mu slept separately.
The twenty-second lunar month, the last quarter month.
Near midnight, the moon bend appeared, and Amu went out gently, and did not deliberately tiptoe, because he was not a thief.
Out of the small courtyard, familiar with the road, Amu went straight to the ancient well in the back mountain.
There was nothing to say all the way, but when he was approaching the back mountain, Amu felt that the fog was heavier tonight.
It's dark, and everything is a little unreal.
The ancient well is in sight. It's just that Amu seems to feel quite different from last night.
