The most evil well actually scared away the Japanese invaders. What "secret" is hidden in this well?

We still don’t know the mystery behind this, and there is no more scientific explanation that can convince people. This well is the Suolong Well that we often hear about. It is said that in ancient times, people used it to control the water mouth in the city to prevent evil dragons from harming the people. The well we are going to talk about today is the Suolong Well located in Xinbeiqiao, Beijing.

This well has a very long history. According to records, this well was built after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty. People at that time believed more in Feng Shui, so after making Beijing his capital, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao to survey Beijing's Feng Shui. Later, the two agreed that there was an eye of the sea in Xinbeiqiao, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a well to be built here to calm the mouth of the sea and prevent evil dragons from causing trouble.

It is said that the well in Xinbeiqiao leads directly to the Bohai Sea. In order to have a suppressive effect, there are three specially made iron chains hanging down from the side of the well. After the well was built, it is said that Liu Bowen left a legend that when the lamp was down and the bridge was old, the suppressed evil dragon came out. What really made people familiar with this well was a rumor that happened during the Anti-Japanese War.

It is rumored that in 1939, the Japanese army who occupied Beijing planned to build a military camp near the New North Bridge, so they planned to remove the well first, but encountered some miracles when demolishing the well. thing. First, the iron chain beside the well kept cutting no matter how hard it was cut. Later, the Japanese army planned to pull out all the iron chains, but then something strange happened. No matter how hard the Japanese soldiers pulled, they still could not finish pulling the chain, and later a lot of black water suddenly appeared in the well, accompanied by a thunderous sound. Later, the Japanese soldiers were frightened and gave up quickly. What's even more strange is that a major flood broke out in Beijing that year, which cast a mysterious veil on the well.
