Chapter 111 Dry Well
It’s night.
More than ten miles away from the town on the mountain road, a clearing was cleared out of an area where fallen leaves accumulated in the birch forest, and a bright bonfire was raised.
Kong and Jin were sitting around the campfire. The flames were beating, and the red light shone on Kong Jin's pale face.
Feng An held a tree branch in his hand and roasted a pheasant that he had caught from nowhere.
The chicken was roasted until golden brown, and the alluring aroma of meat wafted in the birch forest.
Feng An didn't get anything to eat in town today. He was so greedy that he couldn't help himself and shot a pheasant and roasted it himself.
Then he filled two bowls of the fine wine he brought from the sect. The pheasant was quite pleasant with the wine.
Kong Jin's mind was obviously not on the roast chicken. He was looking at the bonfire, with the shadow of the flame reflected in his pupils.
He was still thinking about the sudden incident where the moon wheel seal appeared on its own before he left the small town inn, and then appeared briefly.
That was something that had never happened to me after practicing the Moon Wheel Seal.
It was as if something was approaching him, and it was sensed by the moon wheel seal, and then automatically activated.
Oddly enough, with Kong's current level of cultivation and perception, it is impossible for anyone to approach him without being discovered while he is ascending the wheel.
"There must be something weird in that town." Kong Ji secretly thought, and then looked at Feng An.
The latter came out with me at that time, why was he okay?
In other words, Feng An has been tricked, but he and Feng An did not notice it.
Just as Feng An described when he came, the scene he experienced twenty years ago.
The companion who came with him was attacked by unknown means and fell down silently.
“Such a weird attack method is simply unheard of.” Kong Xian rubbed his brows. The opportunity of this trip was far more troublesome than he imagined.
He is not afraid of fighting with real swords and guns, but he is afraid of this kind of guy who is playing dirty tricks in secret.
Of course, there is good news.
After testing during the day, Kong Jiang found that the Moon Wheel Seal he practiced seemed to have a certain resistance to that weird attack method.
Prove that it is impossible for him to fall quietly like Feng An's companions.
Then there is something gained from that trip to the small town.
The man behind the scenes who was hiding behind the town did not show up directly. He attacked Kong Ji and the two, presumably because he was afraid of Kong Ji's strength.
It proves that its true level is not very high as expected.
Kong Xian estimates that its strength is around the seventh or eighth realm in the late stage of Yang Lun.
Definitely not reaching the Nine Realms.
If it had the strength of the Nine Realms, it would not be so cautious and take advantage of its geographical advantage.
Just show up and keep Kong and Jiang in the town forever.
"That's good news." Kong Jiang thought silently.
Feng An’s roast chicken was almost done, so he separated out two chicken legs and handed them to Kong Ji.
Then I hugged a whole chicken, drank fine wine, and just feasted without being affected by the incident during the day.
It's not that Feng An's perception has deteriorated, nor that his head suddenly doesn't work.
But he didn't sense the attack from the dark at all.
So I didn’t think much about it.
Kong Ji held the chicken leg without moving, watching Feng An vomit a whole chicken into his belly in just three mouthfuls, and just then he spoke softly: "Brother Feng, you once said that you would report this matter to the clan. The sect also sent disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall to check, but nothing was found, so let’s leave it alone?”
“Yes, they found nothing.” When it came to business, Feng said. An's expression also became solemn and he expressed his speculation.
"If this town is really the weird town in the story that Junior Brother Kong read in the book, it would be understandable that they can't find anything."
Kong Xian nodded, agreed with Feng An's words, and added: "If what is recorded in the book is correct, this town may be more dangerous than it was twenty years ago."
"There is also good news. When the two of us went in today, we did not encounter an ambush. It proves that that thing is still afraid of us." Feng An expressed a judgment that was quite consistent with Kong Xian's.
"Twenty years ago, I was attacked as soon as I came here."
As he said that, Feng An looked at Kong Xian. Of course, it couldn't be him who the monster was afraid of.
It was Kong Jiang who came with him.
“Senior Brother Feng’s intention is to find it.” Kong Zhi smiled. In fact, he had the same idea.
Although the town is dangerous, it is not out of control.
With the combat power that he has now comprehended the ‘shi’, and he has cultivated the Fengtao Burial Snow, as long as he does not meet a strong person in the Ascension Wheel Realm, no one in the Yanglun Ninth Realm can even think of keeping him.
There is absolutely no problem with safety.
However, Kong Xian is worried that it may be difficult to take care of Feng An when encountering dangerous situations.
So he expressed his worries very frankly.
Feng An waved his hand indifferently and responded in a low voice: "This has been my knot for twenty years. Every night, the scene of that day is in my mind. If I don't put an end to it, I'm afraid there will be no hope of ascending to the wheel in this life."
"Whether it's for revenge or to get rid of inner demons, I have to go on this trip. Junior Brother Kong doesn't have to worry about me."
Feng An has been cautious for twenty years because of this incident. .
In the end, because of this incident, I threw the caution of the past twenty years behind me. Of course, there is also the reason for Kong's strength as the backing.
He would never dare to come here alone.
"Okay! Then let's go tonight." Seeing Feng An's determination, Kong Jin didn't persuade him any more, and then added: "In the event of an irresistible crisis, Senior Brother Feng can evacuate first. I can protect myself, so it’s easier to escape alone.”
“Okay!” Feng An responded cheerfully.
The bright moon hangs high, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Kong Xian and Feng An, one behind the other, slowly groped towards the town from outside the town.
During this process, Feng An recited all the details he had seen twenty years ago several times.
“There is a dry well behind the town. When we passed that dry well, we were suddenly attacked by the monster.”
“I have carefully analyzed many clues over the years. I'm sure that guy came out of the well."
"Didn't the disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall who came back then explore the dry well?" Kong Xian asked for some details.
“I went down there, and they said it was just an ordinary dry well, and they didn’t find anything strange.” Feng An pursed his lips and replied with some reluctance: “It’s not because of the few people who died. The cultivation level of this fellow student is not high and he is not taken seriously by the sect. Therefore, among the people in the law enforcement hall, the one with the highest strength is Yang Lun Ba Jing. What can he see?"
"Okay, let's do that. Let’s go take a look at that dry well first.” Kong Xian chose to trust Feng An’s judgment and make his first choice.
The town is eerily quiet at night.
The doors of every house are closed, and there is no light.
After Kong and Zhen entered the town, they did not even hear the crowing of cocks or the barking of dogs. They were two extremes from the fireworks they saw during the day.
I don’t know if it is because of too much silence, but there is a strange atmosphere lingering in the town.
It doesn't look like a small town in the mortal world.
This made Kong Xian even more certain that this town was the same as the town in the story recorded in the book.
This also made Kong Ji and Feng An no longer willing to take the initiative to speak except for walking silently.
After tea time.
Kong An followed Feng An around the town and finally came to the location of the dry well he mentioned.
It is a place located behind the town, close to the wilderness.
There is a temple that looks to be quite old.
I don’t know which immortal is enshrined in the temple. Because it has been in disrepair for a long time, the statues in the temple have cracked.
The futons in the temple were in disgraceful tatters, and the ground was full of dust.
When Kong Xian and Feng An stepped into the temple ground, they left a series of clear footprints on the ground.
The dry well is in the backyard of the temple.
Kong Zhen's gaze cautiously swept around the area. After confirming that there was no danger, he cautiously moved forward.
Looking along the mouth of the well and toward the bottom.
Even though his eyes were blessed by the eye-cleansing spell, he only felt pitch black and couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
It was like a piece of black cloth covering the bottom.
Kong Zhen had to look back and whispered to Feng An: "No, you can't see the situation inside at all from the outside. You have to go down."
"You and I Let's go together." Feng An became more courageous as his cultivation level improved, and it seemed that he really wanted to go on.
Kong Jin shook his head and refused.
He moved his eyes, observing the surroundings and analyzing the situation: "Senior Brother Feng, you have to guard this place for me. This is the only entrance to escape. If it blocks it, I will It might be very troublesome. "
Kong Xian said it was very troublesome, not that he couldn't get out at all. In the worst case, he could forcefully punch a hole in the ground and break through.
But this place may be the burial place of the Yanglun realm monks recorded on the cloud pattern stele.
I’m not sure if there is any formation reinforcement below.
If you really encounter that kind of situation, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to break through.
Feng An thought it made sense, so he did not persist. He said to Kong Xian very cautiously: "Then be careful. Don't think about fighting head-on when you are in danger. Your life is the most important."
"Don't worry, so many strong winds and waves have come through." Kong Zhi smiled softly and took out the bronze halberd from the storage bag.
In a small environment, the power of bows and arrows will be greatly limited.
The halberd is the safest.
Then he made another seal, and the Cold Clothes Sacrifice Snow Technique immediately turned into a layer of gauze, wrapping his whole body.
After doing all this, he took a deep breath and jumped down into the dry well under Feng An's gaze.
In the well, the lingering sounds of Kong Jiang’s words before leaving echoed.
"Senior Brother Feng, if something happens up there, shout into the well immediately. I'll come out immediately if you hear me."
After the words fell, Kong Jin's figure, wrapped in cold clothes and snow techniques, had disappeared into the darkness of the dry well. middle.
This dry well is like a huge mouth, swallowing up the wormwood in one bite.
