Chapter 490: Searching for Dragons and Treasures
When will the shabashi flute at the top of the spring rain tower be returned to watch the Zhejiang tide?
No one knows the broken bowl of the straw shoes. Which bridge is the cherry blossoms crossed?

Sun Dashanren found a ladder, leaned against the eaves, took out the ink pen used by the carpenter, and then climbed the ladder and carefully drew it. It took about an hour before Sun Dashanrenren drew hundreds of small parts of the bracket one by one.
During this period, Tu Xingsun was not idle either. He took out a five-section iron rod, folded three or two to form an iron spear several meters long, each with a small shovel. Tu Xingsun took this spear shovel and walked around the mansion, inserting the spear shovel into the ground from time to time. After pulling it out, carefully observe the quality of the soil on the shovel.
After painting the bracket, Sun Dashanren carefully observed the foundation of the main hall. The main hall was built on the foundation of the Sumeru pedestal. The foundation was divided into two upper and lower lotus petals. The lotus petals protruding upward are upward lotus, and the ones protruding downward are covered lotus, and the middle section of the base is concave, like a curved waist. The bottom edge of the base is like a foot, which is a gui foot.
After looking at the foundation of the Taiwan Pavilion, Sun Dashan looked at the drum-bearing stones before the main hall gate. The drum-bearing stones were also built on the lotus-petaled Sumeru pedestal, with exquisite carvings. There were two dragons carved in the middle of the drum surface, and rows of drum nails on the edge, which showed the momentum of rolling forward.
At this time, Tu Xingsun returned and said to Sun Dashanren: "Brother, the entire courtyard has been surveyed, the soil is consistent, and there is no trace of excavating tunnels or secret rooms."
Sun Dashanren said: "Can the groundwater source be abundant?"
Tu Xingsun nodded and said, "There should be several underground rivers several feet underground."
Sun Dashanren walked to the well near the main hall, looked inside, and said to Bai Fu: "Brother Bai, what do you see?"
Bai Fu nodded and said, "The main gate, the main hall and the inner hall each have three large water wells. The wellhead is three times wider than the ordinary wellhead, and the water-loading wooden barrels are several times larger than the ordinary wooden barrels. Ordinary wells use pulleys to draw water, while the three wells use grinding-shaped winches.
I asked the servants in the guards, and they said they were worried that the three halls would catch fire, so in order to extinguish the fire in time, the wells were built larger than ordinary wells.
The rebel soldiers went down the well and saw nothing unusual. To ensure there was no secret passage here, I personally dived into the bottom of the well and saw there was no secret passage inside the well wall. The water in the well was several feet deep and connected to the river. I really didn't find any clues."
Back then, Bai Fu followed Tang Li to enter Liu Bei's tomb from the well, so he attached great importance to the well.
The three of them walked the mansion again, and found nothing in the main entrance and the well in the main hall.
When he arrived at the well in the inner hall, Sun Dashanren noticed that there were two dragons carved in the center and edge of the winch. The wooden barrel filled with water swayed and was raised to the water surface. At this time, the pattern on the winch formed a pattern of two dragons playing with beads, which was consistent with the pattern on the caisson in the Zhengtang.
Sun Dashan's eyes narrowed into a line, thinking about something.
Sun Dashanren turned the winch backwards. When he turned to the bottom, the wooden barrel returned to the bottom of the well, and the winch seemed to be unable to rotate anymore. Sun Dashanren asked Tu Xingsun and Bai Fu to continue to rotate the winch more force. At this time, the two dragons on the winch turned back to back, and the shape was exactly the same as the bow-backed dragon on the roof of the inner hall.
I heard the sound of "crack" and then the sound of running water roaring. After half an hour, I looked into the well and saw that the water level of the well dropped, revealing the bottom of the well.
Tu Xingsun said, "Brother, you stay above, I'll go down and take a look." After that, he climbed the rope and entered the well.
After a stick of incense, the Tu Xingsun was as flexible as a monkey. He climbed the rope with both hands, rose and fell a few times, and jumped out of the wellhead.
Tu Xingsun smiled and said, "Brother, I really found you. The baby is in this well."
Bai Fu was overjoyed.
This time, Sun Shun was guarding the wellhead, and Sun Dashanren and Bai Fu entered the well.
This is Bai Fu's second time entering this well. When he saw the underground river before, Bai Fu did not look down. Now it seems that like everyone else, he was confused by the underground river and missed the opportunity to hunt treasures.
At this time, the water had faded, and there was a foot deep mud at the bottom of the well. Standing in the mud, looking around, it seemed like standing in a culvert that was ten feet high.
There are countless caves of different sizes distributed on the walls of the culvert. The mechanisms of several caves have been broken, and the copper doors that lock the caves are open.
When he entered the cave, the copper boxes were covered with layers of copper boxes. The copper boxes were wrapped in waterproof cloth. Bai Fu randomly selected a copper box, cut the oil cloth with a dagger, and uncovered the lid of the box. There were dazzling gold ingots neatly placed inside, which was dazzling.
Open another copper box, inside it was a bucket of huge pearls.
Open the third copper box, filled with rubies, sapphires and other gems, the emerald green emerald is more like a pool of untouched lake water...
...
Back on the ground and looking at the bright sunshine, Bai Fu let out a long sigh.
Sun Dashanren found paper and pen, and drew on the paper and said: "It seems that the three halls, the main gate, the main hall and the inner hall, are treasure caves under the three halls. Since there are several meters deep bases and soil under the hall, it is difficult to find unless the house is demolished and dug down hard.
The three wells are the entrances and exits to enter the treasure cave. Due to the obstruction of the well water several meters deep, most people have a short ventilation time and cannot reach the bottom of the well.
Even if you can breathe freely underwater like Brother Bai, it is difficult to find another cave underground due to the confusion of the underground river."
Bai Fu nodded and agreed happily.
Sun Dashanren said: "The sluice that controls the release of water is the winch of the inner well. When the bucket reaches the bottom, continue to rotate the winch in reverse, and the sluice can be opened. Otherwise, the sluice can be closed.
The inner lake in the back house should be lower than here. Once the sluice is opened, the water in the culvert will flow to the inner lake, so that outsiders will not be able to detect the changes.”
Bai Fu asked curiously: "If the terrain here is high and the inner lake is low, how can I introduce the lake water into the culvert before the sluice?"
Sun Dashanren smiled and said, "This question is good. Let's try it later. According to my inference, I guess there is also a sluice under the water well near the main entrance. When you open the sluice gate of the main entrance, there should be a culvert with a lower terrain than the inner lake. Just give a little airflow to pull the water from the inner lake back into the culvert and re-form the underground river.
If I expected it, the valve of this airflow is on the main ridge of the roof of the main door. Just dial out the sword inserted into the back of the "Tail Tail" of the main ridge."
"Where is this culvert with a lower terrain than the Neihu?" Even Tu Xingsun was curious now. He used a spear to survey the entire courtyard, but no traces of excavating tunnels or secret rooms were found.
Sun Dashanren smiled and said, "Depending on the base and the location of the soil, this culvert should be under the snow-white house wall!"
