There are many versions of the legend about Beixinqiao locking a dragon well, and the most widely circulated one is the story of Yao Guangxiao locking a dragon in the Ming Dynasty.
Legend has it that when Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao were building the city of Beijing, they discovered a dragon occupying the then deserted city of Beijing.
In other words, the city of Beijing at that time was still the territory of Jiaolong!
If King Yan built the city of Beijing, the dragon would naturally have nowhere to go.
So the dragon sent a flood in Beijing to drive away King Yan, so that it could continue to stand in the city of Beijing. Therefore, it started a flood in the eye of the sea under Beixin Bridge.
The flood flooded Prince Yan's Mansion.
King Yan was furious and asked Liu Bowen to figure out what was going on!
Liu Bowen counted with his fingers and figured out that the dragon was causing trouble, so he sent Master Yao to subdue the dragon.
It was rumored that Master Yao was the Arhat who subdued the dragon and came to the world. The dragon was so afraid that he got into the sea eye under Beixin Bridge and hid.
But Master Yao was not afraid at all. He got into the eye of the sea, but the dragon started fighting. The two men flew up and down, sometimes near and sometimes far away. They fought for three days and three nights.
Finally, Master Yao took out his belt and threw it into the air, turning it into a long chain and locking the dragon's neck.
Then he locked it in an ancient well next to it, and then built a bridge on it. The book said: "The bridge is old before it can be exited."
It means that when the bridge is old, you can get out.
Jiaolong believed it to be true and stayed in the well peacefully. He never thought that Master Yao would name the bridge: Beixin Bridge.
Beixinqiao will never get old, and the dragon will never get out, nor will it flood.
This is the folklore that the people have given to Beixinqiao for hundreds of years. Of course, folklore is folklore after all and cannot become true.
But what Elder Chu Tian said at this moment made Ying Yue tremble all over.
Is there really a dragon under the Dragon Lock Well?
There are dragons in this world. Ying Yue firmly believes that there are even the Monkey King and gods and Buddhas all over the sky. It is normal to have dragons.
But there are dragons in the earth, and even dragons in Suolongjing, but Yingyue is skeptical.
Dragons, even the lowliest dragons, are first-class mythical beasts, possessing powerful destructive power that can move mountains, fill seas, and destroy heaven and earth.
Even the lowliest Jiao has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul stage.
There is a dragon in the locked dragon well, is it true or false?
"Elder Chu, are you kidding?"
Ying Yue opened his mouth and said in shock.
"Elder Ying, I wish I was joking, but the fact is that there really are dragons!"
Elder Chu Tian smiled bitterly: "In the files of our dragon group, there is indeed an old dragon entrenched under the Dragon Lock Well. The age of this old dragon's existence is unknown, his cultivation level is unknown, and all information is unknown.
The only thing we know is that it's dying!"
"about to die?"
Ying Yue was shocked and his eyes flashed: "How did you know?"
Elder Chu Tian hesitated and said in a low voice: "Elder Ying, you are one of our own, and I won't hide it from you. Our dragon group has a special instrument to detect life force. As long as we are willing, no life form on the earth can escape."
Detection of life detector!”
Ying Yue's pupils shrank, and he was secretly frightened. The dragon group was indeed not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Elder Chu didn't know the shock in Ying Yue's heart and said to himself: "During our detection, the vitality of the old dragon entrenched in Suolongjing has been weakening, especially in the past three years, it has dropped to freezing point.
Just like a candle in the wind, it will be extinguished at any time!"
Ying Yue was silent and said slowly: "What do you mean..."
"The old dragon is about to die. Its lethality should not be as terrifying as before. We want to understand it and study it. We want to know its origin!"
Elder Chu's eyes flashed: "Even if you can get its inheritance, you will make a lot of money!"
"Inheritance?" Ying Yue narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Elder Ying, did you know that the dragon, a mythical creature in myths and legends, has incredible mysterious power, and it has too many unknown things in it!"
Elder Chu Tian whispered: "The value of a living dragon is obviously far greater than that of a dead dragon. We can't wait for it to die before taking action!"
"But getting close to a live dragon is too risky!"
Ying Yue said slowly.
"The risk is worth taking!"
Elder Chu Tian said loudly and in a deep voice.
Ying Yue did not answer, but hesitated for a long time before asking: "Elder Chu, I have a question. I hope you can answer me honestly!"
"Please feel free to ask!" Elder Chu Tian said.
"During the time you were testing this old dragon, approximately how many times did its life response reach its strongest level?"
Ying Yue asked slowly, he wanted to judge the cultivation level of this old dragon.
"We have been testing old dragons for 30 years. Over the past 30 years, the vitality of old dragons has been declining. The strongest point was 30 years ago!"
Elder Chu opened the drawer, took out a piece of top-secret information, and pulled out a piece of paper. A graph was clearly displayed on the paper.
The vertical axis of the graph is vitality, and the horizontal axis is time.
The content of the table is a downward curve.
It was the highest in 1987 and the lowest in 2017, almost close to 0 points.
Vitality decreases year by year as time goes by.
Elder Chu Tian took out another form, compared the two, and said: "In 1987, Lao Long's vitality was 15,700, which is about 50 times your current vitality!"
"50 times..."
Ying Yue was shocked and murmured to himself in a low voice: "I am now in a golden elixir body, and my vitality is already terrifying. It is 50 times my vitality, at least the vitality of the Nascent Soul body.
Calculating this, Lao Long was at least an evil dragon in the Nascent Soul stage 30 years ago!
Coupled with its declining vitality, how powerful was its vitality at its peak?"
Ying Yue felt a little heavy in his heart. Even if this old dragon was an evil dragon, even if his vitality dropped again and he really went crazy, he would definitely be able to kill himself easily!
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
"Elder Ying, actually you don't have to worry too much!"
As if he was worried about scaring Ying Yue, Elder Chu Tian said quickly: "Now this old dragon's vitality has almost declined, and it is only four or five times stronger than you!
And in addition to you, we also invited several masters from the mythical realm, so it will definitely be foolproof!"
"Are there any myth masters involved?"
Ying Yue breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "I participated in this operation, I don't know when it will start!"
"Three days later!"
…
"At least the evil dragon in the Nascent Soul stage cannot be paralyzed!"
After hanging up Elder Chu's call, Ying Yue said hello to Zi Xia and took a plane to leave the capital.
Four hours later, we returned to Shennongjia and went straight into the No. 2 Spirit Gathering Array.
The reason why I came back so hastily this time is for two purposes:
First, while there are still three days left, quickly absorb the 8,000-year-old ginseng plant.
The second is to take away the Yulong Pagoda.
When exploring Suolongjing, you are likely to encounter an old dragon. Without the protection of the Dragon Royal Pagoda, how can Yingyue feel at ease?
Besides, Ying Yue still had some extravagant hopes. If possible, could he take this old dragon into the Yulong Pagoda?
