Chapter Thirteen [The ancient well connected to the Dragon Palace]
Let us say that after the six people returned to the town with these young people, they carried their backpacks and went to the house of the young man who had brought me our business. As soon as we entered the door, we saw an old Tibetan woman making butter tea. She looked at us and said,
He stood up hurriedly and said something in Tibetan, but unfortunately none of us understood it. Just when we were wondering what to do, the young man ran back panting.
"Please come inside, please come inside. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." He took us towards the small courtyard and then said a few words to the old Tibetan woman. I don't know what the two of them said.
The old woman was very happy after hearing this.
"Brother, what do you call me?" Da Zhuang pulled the young man over and asked.
The young man said with relief: "You guys, please call me Tashi! This way, please, there are guest rooms upstairs. This is a house just built the year before last. It is very new and very comfortable!" After entering the small courtyard, a staircase on the left leads to
The room above.
Six people booked four rooms, among which the three girls' room was a large room with a very wide bed, more than enough to sleep the three of them. That night, the six people gathered in the three girls' room, playing cards and discussing what to do in the next few days.
, although the snow outside is much lighter, it still has no intention of stopping.
"It's still forty or fifty kilometers from here to that place, how about we ride a few horses there?" Da Zhuang said while playing cards.
Shui Yueqing also echoed: "Look at the snow, even if it stops now, it is estimated that we will not be able to drive in a few days. It is the best way to go there on horseback."
I threw away the cards in my hand. I really wasn't in the mood to play anymore. I stood up and walked to the window. We lived on the third floor, and Tashi's house was in a relatively high place, so I stood in front of the window and spent the whole summer talking.
Ze Town had a panoramic view. I shifted my gaze and looked at the ancestral hall in the south of the village. The giant snake that was struck by lightning today was in the ancestral hall.
"Then let's go to Gonggar Temple?" Xizi asked while eating tsampa.
Zuo Yan said: "Of course I won't go. It's just a little-known temple. What does it have to do with us?"
Long Xiaoxu glanced at Zuo Yan: "Then what did we say when we borrowed the horse? I told Tashi before that we came here mainly to go to Gonggar Temple to offer incense."
"That's not a problem," Da Zhuang said: "Anyway, Gonggar Temple is not far from here. At worst, we can go to Gonggar Temple first and then ride directly to the ashram from there."
Shui Yueqing nodded in agreement and said: "Okay, it just so happens that they will send the snake to Gonggar Temple tomorrow morning, so we can go together. Qian Long, what do you think?"
"Okay." I turned around and said, "It's not far away anyway." I glanced at Xiao Chuan on the big bed. The little guy was playing poker alone. Unfortunately, we are all adults and no one can play with her.
When we get home, she doesn't want to play with adults like us.
Everyone played for a while more, and when they were about to disperse, they suddenly heard a shout outside. It was in Tibetan, and I couldn't understand it at all. But when I turned my eyes to the window, I saw flames shooting into the sky over the ancestral temple.
, followed by several uninhabited old houses nearby. For a moment, the whole town became tense. Snow was still flying in the sky, but the ground was already full of fire.
"Go and have a look!" I shouted to a few people, put on my clothes and ran downstairs. The five people cheered and hurriedly followed.
When the six people arrived in front of the ancestral temple, the ancestral temple and the old houses were burning fiercely, and they could not get close. The people who came to put out the fire also poured water over from a long distance away, but bucket after bucket
The fire was too slow, and coupled with today's wind, the fire could not be controlled at all. In a short time, those houses were almost burned. The wooden beams were broken, the tops collapsed, and it was a mess!
"That snake spirit is a scourge!" Tashi threw away the bucket in his hand and looked at the burned-down ancestral temple with pity.
Zuo Yan shook his head and said: "Even if it is a disaster, wouldn't he be burned to ashes?"
Long Xiaoxu walked up to me and whispered: "Qian Long, I always feel that this is strange. If that one really became a spirit, it is very likely that he is not dead. You and Da Zhuang must pay more attention to your surroundings!
"
I nodded, hurriedly pulled Da Zhuang over, and said something briefly. Da Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and said doubtfully: "No way, you can still be alive after being chopped into a bear shape? Isn't this a slap in the face of God? It's not easy to do things.
It’s so unreliable!”
"Stop talking nonsense, just pay attention. If God is reliable, it won't become a spirit at all!" I said while looking around.
Due to this fire, all the snow covering dozens of meters in radius has been melted, and the snow and water will flow together like a stream into the ancient well. I was startled, snakes like water most, if it really
If he survived, he would most likely have been hiding in the well!
I wanted to go over and have a look, but the ancient well is located south of the ancestral temple, only three or four meters away from the burning house. Today, the north wind happened to be blowing, and the flames had completely covered the ancient well.
"Old Qian, do you think it's in that well?" Da Zhuang looked around and stared at that well.
"I also suspect it's there. Let's go over there and take a look when the fire dwindles down a bit," I said.
A large amount of snow water was still flowing into the ancient well, and there was still no movement visible there. After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, several houses were finally burned clean, and the fire also became smaller. A group of young people were there.
Under the leadership of a person who looked like a village chief, he hurriedly brought some more water and quickly put out the remaining fire.
Many villagers hurriedly rushed into the ruins, some curious but timid to find the body of the big snake. Da Zhuang, Zuo Yan and I rushed directly to the ancient well and gave instructions to the three women, Qian
Don't get close.
I took out the flashlight I brought with me and took a photo into the well. I have to say that this ancient well is really deep. Even though so much snow water flows into the well, the water surface is still about five or six meters away from the well head.
"It's so dark in the water that you can't see anything!" Zuo Yan leaned out and looked inside.
Da Zhuang picked up a big stone from the ground and smashed it in. There was a "bang!" sound, causing a large splash of water, but it also attracted some young Tibetan boys, including Zamba and Tashi.
"Have you found it?" I asked first as I watched several people approaching.
"No, the house collapsed and nothing was found." Tashi shook his head, as if it didn't matter to him.
"What are you doing?" Zamba came over and asked.
Da Zhuang chuckled: "We want to see how deep this well is? However, it looks like it should be very deep."
Tashi was very surprised when he heard this and said with some pride: "Don't try it. This well is bottomless. It existed a long, long time ago. I heard from Pola that the bottom of this well is connected to the Dragon Palace!"
"Dragon Palace?!" The three of them felt extremely funny for a moment. It was just an ancient well. No matter how deep it was, it was dug by people. It was rumored to be so magical!
I asked Tashi: "You heard what Pola said, who is Pola?"
"My grandfather!" Tashi said in surprise for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and then said: "In our Tibetan people, we call our grandfather and maternal grandfather both Pola. Grandmother is Mora, and the one you saw before is
My grandmother."
"Hey, hey, hey, go home, go home! Burn it all clean." The man who looked like the village chief led a group of young people and rummaged around the ruins for a while, but after still finding nothing, they turned to us.
Several Han people from other places spoke in Chinese.
A bunch of young men from Zamba ran towards each house while shouting, and only a few of us and Tashi were left. A few people were about to leave, when suddenly there was a splash of water in the well, and a few people hurriedly looked into the well and saw
A large wave suddenly appeared on the dark water surface, and then a small dark body was seen floating on the water.
"Holy shit, get out of the way, it's inside!" Da Zhuang yelled, pulling a few people around him and hurriedly retreating.
This sudden change scared everyone and immediately ran away like a god of plague! However, the terrifying golden snake did not jump out of the ancient well, but there were waves of "Bang! Bang!" impacts in the ancient well.
Voice!
"What's going on?!" Tashi looked at Gujing in surprise and asked.
"Is it hitting the wall?" Xizi's pretty face turned pale with fright at this moment.
"No." I shook my head. The voice sounded a bit hollow: "If it hit the wall of the well, the sound should not be so loud or hollow."
When several people were talking, the sound of "Boom! Boom! Boom!" was still ringing. Everyone couldn't help but be puzzled. Da Zhuang muttered and cursed: "Damn it, what on earth is this thing doing?"
As he said that, he walked slowly towards the ancient well.
"Don't go there, it's dangerous!" Shui Yueqing shouted hurriedly from behind.
Long Xiaoxu also said with a serious face: "This snake has really become a spirit for more than half, be careful of being plotted by it!"
Da Zhuang smiled slightly at the two women, then looked at Shui Yueqing: "Qingqing, do you still remember the giant snake that Dongfang Tiger tore apart with his bare hands? It was much bigger than this one. With my current skill,
I am confident that I will tear its mouth apart in a single fight!"
"Don't worry, it's okay." I comforted a few people, and then walked forward with Da Zhuang. As soon as the two of them approached, a huge snake's tail suddenly came from the depths of the ancient well, and there was a "pop!"
On the ground beside the well!
"Oh, my day, let's demonstrate with me!" Da Zhuang immediately got angry and was about to rush towards the well mouth.
"Wait a minute!" I grabbed him and said, "It's not attacking us, it's still hitting us."
As they were talking, the two of them quietly leaned over. Then they saw the thigh-thick snake body, half of it buried in the water and half of it exposed. The huge body kept shrinking and stretching, causing the well water to splash and turn the river upside down.
!The strange impact sound came from the bottom of the water. Due to the barrier of the water, it seemed a bit dull. Even with their current skills, they still felt a little frightened when they saw the violently swinging snake body.
, there was a chill in my bones!
"I know! It's hitting the bottom of the well! It must be, look at this posture!" Da Zhuang suddenly pulled me and whispered.
With a sound of "Huh--", the huge snake's tail swept towards the two of them again, carrying the smell of burnt corpses and blood. The two hurriedly escaped, and I shouted to Da Zhuang: "It seems like it's really
, No, if it hit the ground, it wouldn’t be like this!”
