Chapter 891 Long Live Friendship
"What's going on? Why did lightning suddenly strike the well?"
"Yeah, isn't this a bad sign?"
The villagers were talking about it, and everyone's eyes were filled with uneasiness. Qi Tongwei came to the well and leaned over to look into it, but apart from the mysterious green smoke, there seemed to be nothing unusual in the well.
In order to find out the situation, Qi Tongwei decided to go down the well to find out what was going on. He asked Lao Zhang, an experienced man in the village, to help him prepare the tools for going down the well. While preparing, Lao Zhang advised: "Tongwei, I don't know what happened in the well. Why don't we find some knowledgeable people to take a look? It's too dangerous for you to go down there yourself." Qi Tongwei shook his head and said firmly: "Uncle Zhang, I won't feel at ease if I don't go down. Don't worry, I will be careful."
Everything was ready, and Qi Tongwei slowly descended the well along the rope. As he went deeper, the temperature in the well seemed to be getting lower and lower, and a damp smell came to his face. When he finally reached the bottom of the well, the scene in front of him shocked him.
On the ground at the bottom of the well, a circular pattern emitting faint light appeared, and the pattern was engraved with strange symbols. Those symbols seemed to have life and flashed mysterious light. Qi Tongwei approached carefully, trying to identify the meaning of these symbols, but he racked his brains and had no clue.
At the same time, in an old house outside the village, a mysterious man in black robes was watching everything in the well through a crystal ball. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer: "Humph, it's finally triggered. Qi Tongwei, Qi Tongwei, this time, Xiangyang Village won't be able to escape so easily."
Qi Tongwei studied at the bottom of the well for a long time, but still found nothing. He decided to return to the surface and call the wise men in the village to discuss countermeasures. After returning to the surface, he told the villagers about his discovery at the bottom of the well, and everyone was shocked.
Grandpa Li, an old scholar in the village, is a knowledgeable man. After listening to Qi Tongwei's description, he pondered for a moment and said, "Tongwei, these symbols may be related to the history of our village. I remember that an ancient book passed down by my ancestors seemed to mention some mysterious patterns, but I don't remember the specific content. I will go back and look for that book."
Uncle Li left in a hurry, and Qi Tongwei organized the villagers to strengthen the village's vigilance. He was worried that the change in the ancient well would attract some uninvited guests. Sure enough, not long after, a group of strangers came to the village. They were dressed in strange clothes, and their eyes revealed greed and cunning.
As soon as these strangers entered the village, they asked around about the ancient well. Qi Tongwei realized that they had bad intentions, so he secretly sent people to monitor their every move. After some investigation, he learned that this group of people were members of a mysterious organization. They had been looking for an ancient treasure, and the ancient well seemed to be the key to finding the treasure.
Qi Tongwei decided to take the initiative. He found the leader of the group of strangers and said seriously, "I don't know what you want to do here, but this is our Xiangyang Village. We don't welcome people with bad intentions. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame us for being rude."
The leader sneered: "Qi Tongwei, do you think you can scare us like this? We must get the treasure hidden in that ancient well. If you know what's good for you, just get out of the way."
The two sides were deadlocked and the atmosphere became tense. At this moment, Uncle Li rushed over with a yellowed ancient book in his hand and said excitedly: "Tongwei, I found it! The pattern recorded on it is very similar to what you said. It is said to be the key to open a mysterious treasure. But the power of this treasure is very strong. Once it falls into the hands of bad people, the consequences will be disastrous."
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei became more determined to protect the village and the treasure. After discussing with Uncle Li, he decided to first find the exact location of the treasure and move it to a safe place.
Under the guidance of Uncle Li, Qi Tongwei led several villagers down the well again. According to the clues in the ancient books, they found a hidden mechanism on the wall at the bottom of the well. When Qi Tongwei pressed the mechanism, the ground at the bottom of the well slowly opened up, revealing a deep passage.
They walked carefully into the passage, which was filled with an old atmosphere. As they walked, a stone door suddenly appeared in front of them, which was also engraved with strange symbols. Qi Tongwei carefully observed these symbols and suddenly found a pattern in them. He touched the symbols one by one according to the pattern, and the stone door slowly opened.
Behind the door was a huge cave, in which was placed a treasure chest emitting dazzling light. Just as Qi Tongwei and others were about to go forward to check, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them. They looked back and found that the members of the mysterious organization had also followed in.
"Haha, Qi Tongwei, I didn't expect that you really found the treasure. Now, this treasure belongs to us." The leader smiled proudly.
Qi Tongwei immediately stood in front of the treasure chest and shouted, "Don't even think about it. This treasure belongs to Xiangyang Village, and no one can take it away."
The two sides immediately started a fierce battle. The members of the mysterious organization were highly skilled in martial arts, but Qi Tongwei and the villagers were not afraid. They relied on unity and wisdom to fight the enemy to the death.
During the battle, Qi Tongwei discovered that the leader of the mysterious organization also knew something about the symbols on the ancient books. It turned out that they had been studying for a long time in order to find this treasure. Qi Tongwei realized that this fight was not only for the treasure, but also to protect the peace and future of Xiangyang Village.
When the two sides were fighting fiercely, there was a sudden violent vibration in the cave. It turned out that the fight between the two sides triggered some ancient mechanisms in the cave, and the cave began to collapse.
"Oh no, run!" Qi Tongwei shouted loudly.
Everyone ran towards the exit, while Qi Tongwei, holding the treasure chest, chased after them. At the moment when he was about to run out of the cave, a huge stone fell from the top of the cave and was about to hit Qi Tongwei. At the critical moment, a villager rushed over, pushed Qi Tongwei away, and was hit by the stone himself.
Qi Tongwei looked at the injured villager with a feeling of gratitude and guilt. He carried the villager out of the cave and immediately called a village doctor to treat him. After the doctor's full efforts to save him, the villager was finally out of danger.
Most of the members of the mysterious organization were trapped inside when the cave collapsed. Only a few lucky ones escaped, but they were also seriously injured and no longer had the strength to snatch the treasure.
After this incident, Qi Tongwei and the villagers cherished their unity and friendship even more.
