The old monk practiced his fists for a while before running into the kitchen and saying loudly, "Benefactor Wei, you're in luck today. I found something good in the back mountain."
Wei Huo followed the kitchen and saw white mushrooms. They were all mountain delicacies. Wei Huo reminded him, "Be careful that the mushrooms are poisonous. Don't eat them randomly."
Hundreds of years had passed, so the mushrooms had definitely evolved. They could not be eaten randomly.
The old monk smiled. "I've been in the mountains for decades. How could I not recognize poisonous mushrooms? These are Lotus Immortal Mushrooms. They have medicinal value. I saw a few in the back mountain and picked them. I didn't expect you to visit today. This is Heaven's will. Even Heaven wants you to stay. "
Wei Huo smiled. "What a coincidence. I brought something good with me too."
Wei Huo took out a few purple plants. They looked like cabbages, but they were purple. A long stem extended from the center, and a small purple fruit hung on it.
This was the staple food of the Naga. It grew underground, and the fruit emitted a purple glow in a dark environment.
The old monk started washing the vegetables. At that moment, Wei Huo realized that there were tattoos on the old monk's arms. Apart from the tattoos, there were also many scars on his arms.
Wei Huo asked, "Master, are you really not planning on going down the mountain? The world outside has changed. It's no longer the world you know!"
The old monk shook his head. "Everything in the outside world has nothing to do with me. I just want to spend the rest of my life here. I've already dug a grave for myself. Before I die, I will crawl into the grave and let time cover my corpse."
Wei Huo frowned. "Master, I feel like you're not an ordinary person. What did you do before you came up the mountain?"
The old monk's gaze focused. A hint of fierceness appeared in his gentle and benevolent eyes. However, moments later, he returned to normal. "Amitabha, I've already escaped into the void. Everything that happened before I came up the mountain has nothing to do with me. Now, I'm just an ordinary old monk."
Wei Huo did not ask further, but he knew that the old monk, who knew all kinds of martial arts, was definitely not an ordinary person.
Since ancient times, Buddhism was a place of tranquility and also a place of refuge. Many extraordinary people, in order to find a way out after failing, chose to escape into Buddhism to hide themselves and preserve their lives.
Therefore, the more simple and unadorned a small temple like this was, the more terrifying the big shots were hidden inside!
For example, most of the monks in those bustling temples that were filled with tourists were staff. They were not real monks. They did not chant sutras and did not abide by the precepts. They only wanted to earn money.
Of course, there were still some enlightened monks, but these monks lived in seclusion and did not care about the affairs of the world. After all, they could not be bothered to interact with ordinary people.
After the meal, Wei Huo said, "Master, I'm heading to the Dragon Lock Well. You'd better find a place to hide."
The old monk sighed. "I knew you were here for the Dragon Lock Well. I know your strength is extraordinary, but you have to be careful. There were several foreign explorers who came to explore the Dragon Lock Well, but they never came out again."
Wei Huo was speechless.
Maybe there really was a real dragon in the well. The Z people would give benefits when they entered, but the foreigners would eat everything when they entered.
Wei Huo arrived outside the minaret. According to the old monk's instructions, he could jump in through a broken window on the third floor if he did not use the door.
Wei Huo walked around the minaret and saw a broken window on the third floor. Wei Huo jumped up and into the broken window.
The minaret had a total of nine floors. It was a nine-story pagoda built to suppress demonic dragons. Wei Huo arrived at the bottom of the minaret and saw the Dragon Lock Well.
The chain that locked the dragon was thick and huge. It was tied to a huge rock. Wei Huo walked over and saw the words' Dragon Lock Well 'written in ancient text on the huge rock.
The other end of the chain extended into the well. The entrance emitted a blue light that illuminated the interior of the temple.
Wei Huo grabbed the chain and started pulling it out. As he pulled, the well water started shaking, and the blue light in the temple started flickering. Wei Huo kept pulling the chain, and the light and shadows in the temple drifted. The atmosphere suddenly became weird. Wei Huo grabbed the chain and pulled it out.
Wei Huo kept pulling the chain. Soon, water dripped from Wei Huo's hand. The water-soaked chain was bone-chilling, and it carried a chill that could freeze one's soul.
The chain rattled, and the water in the well kept moving. Soon, a strange sound came from the well. It sounded like a cow's cry. It was very deep, and it caused the ground to tremble and the stones to jump.
Wei Huo continued pulling the chain. He wanted to pull out all the chains and see what was in the well.
It was said that there was a spring under the Dragon Lock Well. It was a sea. Once it was pulled, it would cause a huge flood.
There were many Dragon Lock Wells all over the country, but no one had heard of anyone actually pulling out all the chains in the Dragon Lock Well. No experts had conducted an investigation, and no one had used ultrasound or placed two instruments into the well to check the situation.
Gulp! Gulp!
The sound of bubbles came from the well. The well water seemed to be boiling, and air explosions kept coming out. The well water started rising, and the chain Wei Huo pulled out had already piled up into a small mountain. He pulled the chain to the third floor of the temple and threw it out of the broken window. He then continued pulling.
The chain became heavier and heavier. If Wei Huo was not strong, he would have had to find hundreds of people to pull the chain.
Whoosh!
It was the sound of chains rubbing against each other. Water suddenly gushed out of the well and flowed out of the steeple through the crack in the door. Wei Huo was still pulling. He had to pull out all the chains. He wanted to figure out what was under the Dragon Lock Well and whether there was really a True Dragon locked inside.
"Rumble!" A terrifying sound came from the bottom of the well. It sounded like something was turning over.
Wei Huo felt the chain in his hand sink and almost pulled him back.
Wei Huo was surprised. What was this chain really locking?
The well water kept gushing out. It flowed out of the steeple and down the mountain. At that moment, the temperature outside the mountain was still high. It was at least 70 degrees Celsius. As the well water flowed out, the ground immediately emitted sizzling sounds.
The well water started moistening the scorched ground. A few animals that had survived by hiding in the cave plunged into the water and started swimming.
The water output of the Dragon Lock Well kept increasing. The first floor of the steeple was filled with well water, and well water kept gushing out of the windows and doors on the first floor. Several waterfalls appeared on the mountain, and the water gushed out as if it was going to drown the ground.
Wei Huo was still pulling the chain, which was getting heavier. At that moment, dark clouds started floating in the sky. Dark clouds started gathering in the sky. It seemed like a rainstorm was coming!
Wei Huo was shocked. Could the Dragon Lock Well really be a sea? Once he pulled the chain out, it would cause a super flood?
The dry ground was gradually moistened. The heat wave had not expired yet, but the temperature of the world kept dropping. Cold well water kept gushing out, lowering the surrounding temperature.
Wei Huo continued pulling the chain, but a force came from it. If Wei Huo had not used his Domain Power, he would have been pulled into the Dragon Lock Well by this force. Wei Huo's eyes narrowed as he pulled the chain with all his might.
