Chapter 4 Exploring the Secret of the Well

"The map in this iron box points to a dry well. Could it be that there is a treasure left behind by the original father?"

Yang Xuanzhen was sorting out the memories in his mind while eating just now.

He discovered that the reason why Yang Honglie targeted the original person everywhere was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Behind him, there might be the shadow of the family leader Yang Xiong.

As for Yang Xiong's intention, he knows too little information and it is still a mystery.

Now it seems that there must be something fishy in this, perhaps it has something to do with the map in the iron box.

This iron box is a relic left by his father Yang Tao.

And Yang Tao was once the number one member of the Yang family.

As we all know, in various novels, such powerful characters who die early often mean that they are not simple.

The more Yang Xuanzhen thought about it, the more it made sense, and he decided to go into the dry well to explore.

Although he made a decision, he did not act rashly.

This dry well has been abandoned for a long time, and no one is sure whether there is any danger below.

If there is any trap or a miasma of poisonous insects and poisonous insects, then if he, a young martial artist with a second level of physical body, jumps in hastily, wouldn't he be seeking his own death?

Moreover, judging from the route on the map, the mouth of the dry well is far away from the position marked by the arrow. As it goes deeper, it is still unclear whether there is oxygen below.

Therefore, before going down, some necessary preparations must be done.

Yang Xuanzhen first left his small courtyard, quietly went into the shed where his family raised livestock, and stole back a big rooster.

They also found two ropes, one thin and one thick, a small bag of lime powder, a water bag, a torch and a torch.

Lime powder is used to prevent night sickness, and torches are used for lighting.

After packing these necessary things, he tied one end of the thick rope to the wellhead and put the other end into the bottom of the dry well.

But the string is tied around the rooster's neck, and it is lifted up and hung down to cast stones to find the way.

After waiting for a while, Yang Xuanzhen felt relieved when he saw that the rooster was safe and sound and was digging up food with his paws at the bottom of the well.

He tied the thin rope connected to the rooster around his wrist, carried the package behind his back, and slowly slid down the thick rope towards the bottom of the well.

…

In the study room in the center of the Yang family's mansion, a middle-aged man with a majestic face and a green robe stood by the window with his hands folded, as if waiting for something.

This person is Yang Xiong, the head of the Yang family.

Squeak.

The door was pushed open, and a man with a white face and cold eyes walked in. It was Yang Honglie.

"Brother, you are finally back."

Yang Xiong did not look back, but simply said: "Well, how is the thing I asked you to do?"

"Brother, don't worry, that little brat has been completely cornered by me."

Yang Honglie patted his chest in assurance and said with a sinister smile: "According to me, just get rid of that kid and let him go down to accompany the dead guy, the third child, so as not to be an eyesore in the family."

Yang Xiong waved his hand and said sadly: "The third child's martial arts qualifications are not high, but after traveling around the world and returning to the family, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. Even I, the eldest brother, can hardly hold him down."

"If he hadn't offended someone he shouldn't have offended, the position of the head of the family would have changed hands sooner or later."

Yang Honglie's heart moved, and he guessed: "What the eldest brother means is that the third child got an opportunity outside, and the secret of his rapid progress may fall on that kid?"

"Yes, I didn't get anything valuable from Lao Qi. Now I can confirm that the opportunity is most likely in the hands of Lao San's son."

Speaking of this, a trace of greed flashed in Yang Xiong's eyes: "From now on, send people to watch every move of that kid, making sure that he cannot detect it."

"As long as I get that opportunity, I can even have a glimmer of hope to peek into the secret realm of supernatural powers. Our Yang family will also become the head of the major families in Yanbeicheng."

"Secret Realm of Supernatural Powers!"

Yang Honglie's heart twitched violently, and he said hurriedly: "Brother, why don't you just arrest that kid and torture him to extract a confession? It's faster than going through all the trouble to track him down. Wouldn't it be less troublesome?"

"No, according to my observation, that boy's personality is exactly the same as that of the third child. He is not a weakling. This may be counterproductive. It would be better to let him show his fox tail."

Having said this, Yang Xiong showed a smile on his face that showed he had everything under control: "If this plan doesn't work, it's not too late to take another step. Anyway, he is just a piece of fish on the chopping board and will never escape my grasp."

"Brother Yingming, I will make arrangements right away." Yang Honglie agreed, then turned and left.

On the other side, Yang Xuanzhen has followed the rope to the bottom of the dry well.

The bottom of the well is very narrow, only less than one meter, and is covered with dead branches and leaves. It creaks when stepped on, and there is indeed an entrance on the side.

Yang Xuanzhen lit the torch with a fire stick and looked forward. Inside was a corridor that was about a person's height and half a meter wide. It was so deep and long that there was no end in sight.

There are no bricks or stones on all sides of the corridor, it is all made of dirt, as if it was excavated at random, and it is very bumpy.

However, it looks very solid and shows no signs of collapse.

Yang Xuanzhen tightened the dagger in his hand, and without any further hesitation, he drove the rooster in front, himself behind, and carefully got in.

Fortunately, it has not rained outside for a long time, and the corridor is dry, so people will not slip.

He walked very slowly along the corridor for about one stick of incense, and finally reached the end, where his vision changed from narrow to slightly wider.

What appeared in front of Yang Xuanzhen at this time were two closed stone doors.

"Is this here?"

Yang Xuanzhen took out the map, looked at it carefully in the dim light, and confirmed that the arrow pointed to this place. Then he stepped forward and tried to push the stone door, but it didn't move at all.

"Since there is a map, there should be a way to open it."

He put the torch close to the stone door and looked carefully. Sure enough, on the right side of the stone door, there was a round bulge the size of an egg.

He stretched out his arm and touched it. It should be made of gold and iron. He tried twisting the round protrusion and heard a click, and the stone door slowly opened.

Just like that, a simple stone room appeared in front of him.

The space of the stone chamber is not large, only one foot vertically and horizontally, and it is built with blue-green rocks on all sides.

In the center of the stone room, there was a stone table with a brocade bag placed on it, but nothing else.

"The mechanism is so crude, without even the slightest anti-theft measures. My journey from the mouth of the dry well to this point was incredibly smooth."

Yang Xuanzhen muttered in his heart, and followed the same example. He first drove the rooster into the stone chamber. Seeing that it was still jumping around and that it had not touched any hidden weapons, he relaxed his vigilance and stepped in.

"Opportunity should be this tip."

Yang Xuanzhen looked around and found nothing new, so he walked to the stone table, wrapped the brocade bag in cloth, and took it in his hand to look at it.

This kit is only about the size of a palm, with exquisite cloud and thunder patterns embroidered on both sides. You can feel the cold touch through a layer of cloth.

It feels light in the hand and seems to have no weight at all.
