Chapter 744 [Under the Brocade 40]
When Lu Yi learned that Youyou might have jumped into the deep well, his heart tightened and he jumped down without any hesitation. Perhaps it was God's blessing that the path he chose was exactly the same as the path Youyou had taken.
Not long after, Lu Yi successfully arrived at the place where Uncle Gai and Youyou were. At this time, Uncle Gai keenly noticed the strange noises coming from the surroundings, so he lowered his voice and whispered to Youyou beside him: "Someone is coming."
Before he finished speaking, a figure quickly appeared, and it was Lu Yi. Seeing Lu Yi suddenly appear in front of him, Youyou couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and quickly asked: "Ayi, why are you here too?"
Lu Yi smiled slightly, looked at Youyou tenderly, and replied, "Of course I was worried about you, so I followed you all the way." Then, he turned his gaze to the beggar uncle beside him and asked curiously, "Who is this?"
Youyou hurriedly introduced him to Lu Yi: "This is Uncle Beggar." Lu Yi nodded slightly to Uncle Beggar and greeted him politely: "Hello, Uncle Beggar."
Uncle Beggar was impressed by Lu Yi's handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, and smiled and replied, "Hello, young man." After a pause, Uncle Beggar looked Lu Yi up and down, and asked with interest, "Are you and this girl a couple?"
Lu Yi nodded calmly and replied with a smile: "Yes, she is my fiancée."
At this time, Youyou pointed at the heavy iron chain on Uncle Beggar and said to Lu Yi anxiously: "Ayi, do you have any way to help Uncle Beggar get rid of this iron chain? Uncle Beggar is being held here by those hateful Japanese pirates."
Hearing this, Lu Yi walked forward and carefully examined the thick iron chain. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yuyu, it may be difficult to cut this chain by one person alone. Why don't we work together to cut it off."
"Okay, Uncle Beggar, stand away, be careful we don't hurt you by mistake!" Youyou shouted to Uncle Beggar with a serious face. She held the long sword tightly in her hand, her eyes were firm and focused, as if she was ready for a fierce battle.
"Okay!" Uncle Gai responded quickly, then quickly retreated and kept a distance from them. He knew in his heart that although he had some martial arts skills, it would be better not to cause trouble for Youyou and Lu Yi at this moment.
Then, Youyou and Lu Yi looked at each other in tacit understanding, and at the same time swung their swords and chopped fiercely at the iron chain that trapped Uncle Beggar. There were a few crisp "clang clang" sounds, sparks flew, and the extremely strong iron chain finally couldn't bear the powerful force and broke.
"Thank you for saving my life!" The beggar uncle was very excited after regaining his freedom, and hurried to thank Youyou and Lu Yi. He moved his hands and feet that had been bound by the chains for a long time, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"I'll take you to a place." Uncle Gai smiled mysteriously, turned around and walked forward. Seeing this, Youyou and Lu Yi followed without hesitation.
Soon, the three of them came to a place full of blue hostas. Looking at the large patches of blue hostas with blue flowers in full bloom, Youyou couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of shock: "Oh my God, there are so many blue hostas here!"
Uncle Gai nodded and explained solemnly, "These blue lilies are not ordinary. They contain a toxin that can cause hallucinations. Once inhaled, people will gradually lose their reason and emotions, and eventually become crazy."
Hearing this, Youyou couldn't help but take a deep breath: "There is such a terrifying thing! Then how did you, Uncle Beggar, get caught here by those Japanese pirates? I'm afraid it's not just because of your family background, right?"
"You are absolutely right. This matter is indeed my fault! Back then, I made a bet with someone that if she could not cure the poison in the blue jade hairpin she was wearing, she would have to marry me. Who could have expected that at that time, the hateful Japanese pirate leader would lead his men to arrest me. In the chaos, someone accidentally touched the blue jade hairpin and was instantly contaminated with the toxin. As a result, this group of cruel Japanese pirates kidnapped me and forced me to use the blue jade hairpin to cultivate a poison for them that could concoct a madman. But fortunately, I was more careful and secretly modified the formula so that the poison is no longer contagious." Uncle Beggar narrated with lingering fear.
"In that case, these harmful things must be destroyed at all costs!" Youyou said angrily.
"I came back here for this purpose. Originally, I planned to destroy all items related to the blue lily before leaving, so that they would not harm others again." Uncle Beggar said firmly.
At this moment, a group of vicious Japanese pirates suddenly broke in. However, facing the aggressive enemy, Lu Yi seemed calm and at ease. He flashed and shuttled among the Japanese pirates like a ghost. After a few rounds, the Japanese pirates fell to the ground one after another and were easily subdued by Lu Yi.
Although he had become a prisoner, the Japanese pirate leader still gritted his teeth and refused to answer any questions raised by Lu Yi. Seeing this, Lu Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he did not hesitate to use the Jinyiwei's unique interrogation method. Not long after, the Japanese pirate leader finally couldn't bear the huge pain and had to honestly tell everything.
The totem engraved on the token is the mysterious boat ghost, which comes from an ancient legend in Japan. According to the legend, the boat ghost has a terrifying power. Their leader Mao Haifeng wanted to use this power to realize his ambition to dominate the vast sea, so he carefully carved the boat ghost into a totem symbolizing authority and rule.
At the same time, these people unexpectedly learned a way to leave this place. At this moment, Uncle Gai decisively took action and destroyed everything related to the blue jade hairpin without hesitation. Afterwards, Youyou and Lu Yi made a prompt decision and took the lead in leaving this place of trouble.
In the solemn ancestral hall, the Shi clan was busy holding a special ceremony - using Xie Xiao as a sacrifice to the ancient well. On the other side, Lu Yi, You You, Jin Xia and Uncle Gai hurried back to where the stone tablet was. Surprisingly, they found that the huge stone tablet had moved again! At this moment, the clansmen standing on the well mercilessly threw Xie Xiao into the deep and dark bottom of the well.
After completing the sacrificial offering ceremony, Chief Shi gave an order with a solemn expression, requiring the wellhead to be closed immediately to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
Xie Xiao, who was at the bottom of the well, was still a little confused at the moment. He heard Yuan Jinxia's detailed narration of the cause and effect of the matter in a daze. After some thought, he finally realized that he was framed by Patriarch Shi.
At this moment, Chief Shi was in a dilemma, thinking over and over whether he should lead the entire clan to leave Longdan Village. However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any trace of Lu Yi and You You.
The five people trapped in the well began to work together to carefully search for clues and possible secret passages. After in-depth observation and careful reasoning, Lu Yi finally came to the conclusion that the change in the position of the stone tablet seemed to be closely related to the rising tide of the sea.
With his keen observation and outstanding wisdom, Lu Yi successfully deduced the exact time of high tide and low tide after careful calculation. Then, based on the changing pattern of tides and the characteristics of the surrounding environment, he further deduced the approximate location of the sea eye.
Afterwards, Lu Yi arranged for Yuan Jinxia, Xie Xiao and Uncle Gai to go together to find the place where the mechanism might be hidden. Yuan Jinxia and Xie Xiao did not disappoint Lu Yi's expectations. They indeed found the crucial mechanism during the search. At this time, Lu Yi also successfully found the location of the sea eye. He jumped into the freezing cold water without hesitation. Seeing this scene, Youyou, Jinxia, Xie Xiao and Uncle Gai did not hesitate and followed Lu Yi into the water.
At this time, Zhai Lanye hurried over to meet with the headmaster Mao. She nervously reported to the headmaster Mao, "Lu Yi and his men have already been to Longdan Village!"
However, Mao Da Dangjia was unconcerned about this. He was confident that with Lu Yi's little ability, it would be impossible for him to crack the huge secret hidden under the Dragon Locking Well.
However, not long after, one of his men suddenly came running to him in panic and reported, "Oh no! The Dragon Locking Well has been broken!" Upon hearing the news, Mao Da's face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Mr. Mao made a prompt decision and gave an order: "No one in Longdan Village can stay here any longer! Release all the crazy people in the village immediately! And none of Lu Yi and his men will be able to leave alive!" For a moment, the entire village fell into chaos.
As for Lu Yi and the other five people, they followed the current all the way, and finally left their original position from the sea eye, and came to a quiet pool connected to the Dragon Locking Well. After landing, they took a short rest, and then continued on their way without stopping, and soon walked out of this mysterious area.
On the other side, Lan Qingxuan was worriedly thinking about how to escape from here. Just as he was thinking hard, Xiao Xin appeared stealthily.
Xiao Xin walked carefully to Lan Qingxuan and quickly helped him untie the ropes that bound him.
At the same time, Xiao Xin lowered his voice and said to Lan Qingxuan: "I accidentally saw the village chief sink a strange man into the bottom of the well last night. It is not advisable to stay here for long, you'd better leave quickly!" Hearing this, Lan Qingxuan's heart tightened. Without thinking too much, he quickly stood up, thanked him and left in a hurry.
