The jar was about half a meter high, and because it was opened, its airtightness was destroyed, and for a while the whole space was filled with that strange smell of milk, but everyone was not intoxicated by it, but felt a wave of nausea. It's hard to compare that such a strange fragrance is emitted by something so ugly.

The insects in the jar seemed to be very long, two or three meters long, two fingers thick, no eyes and feet, dark red all over, it seemed to be a huge earthworm, at this moment it seemed to be disturbed, winding back and forth in the pitch-black liquid, and it actually stirred the liquid to gradually form a small whirlpool.

My father frowned and wondered, "What the hell is this bug?" ”

"It looks like an earthworm, but there's something wrong with it." Duan Yuwen said.

Wang Chengbao's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed the abnormality in it, and he jumped out of the jar and shouted: "It's not an earthworm, stay away from that thing!" ”

Everyone was shocked and looked at Wang Chengbao one after another. Just in this stunned effort, I heard a "bang" in the jar, and the big insect actually came out of it directly. The Qin brothers had been soldiers, and when they heard a movement, they reacted quickly, and hurriedly dodged, holding a flashlight in their left hand to shine on the insect, and their right hand took out the machete on their waist almost like lightning.

As soon as the light of the flashlight shined, the abnormality of the insect was immediately revealed, and I saw that the insect's body was very similar to an earthworm, but at one end of the body, there was a large mouth that was extremely incongruous with its body, and at this moment, the two chelica in the mouth were showing and rushed towards Duan Yuwen.

The speed of that insect was extremely fast, as if it had been accumulating in those liquids before, and at this moment, it exploded, and it had already rushed in front of Duan Yuwen in the blink of an eye, and the speed was staggering. Duan Yuwen didn't have much time to react at all, just stretched out his arm to block the door, and then he heard a scream, and Duan Yuwen's entire body fell to the ground.

The strange thing was that the big worm just bit Duan Yuwen's arm fiercely, and then immediately let go, and actually tried to get into Duan Yuwen's mouth.

Duan Yuwen was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly grabbed the body of the insect and dragged it out. But the worm's body was slippery, and it had been soaked in the pitch-black liquid, Duan Yuwen couldn't catch the worm at all for a while, and in just a few seconds, the worm's head had already drilled into Duan Yuwen's mouth.

Duan Yuwen first felt a tightness in his throat, and then tears flowed uncontrollably, and he wanted to vomit.

When my father and the Qin brothers saw this situation, they hurried over to help. My father took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around the insect's body, and then the three of them used force indiscriminately, dragging it a few times, but it really pulled the insect out of Duan Yuwen's mouth. The insect seemed to have its own consciousness, and when he saw that his good deeds were destroyed by others, he was about to rush at my father when he turned around, but at this time everyone was prepared, my father's body flashed, and the insect pounced in the air, Qin Guiren immediately stomped on the insect's head with his feet wearing military leather boots, and finally subdued the insect.

However, although the head of the insect had been crushed, the slender body was still writhing, and everyone was apprehensive, so they used a knife to cut the body of the insect into several pieces. During this period, Duan Yuwen had been squatting by the wall and vomiting, where had he ever experienced such a disgusting thing in his life, fortunately, he had the help of my father and the Qin brothers just now, otherwise, if the worm really got into his stomach, the consequences would definitely be very serious.

My father was still shocked, but found that Wang Chengbao ran to the jar again at this moment, and shone a flashlight into the dark liquid, as if he was looking for something.

Father was a little angry, because Duan Yuwen was almost in danger just now, and his father and the Qin brothers went over to help, but this Wang Chengbao was indifferent and stood aside blankly. Now, when the danger was lifted, he walked silently to the jar again, sneakily looking for something in the jar, and although his father was displeased with this, he couldn't say it directly, but said, "Lao Wang, what are you doing?" Beware of danger. ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Chengbao said without looking back: "No, there should only be that one worm in this, and the rest is something else." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, something else? Could it be that there is something else in there?

His father walked up to Wang Chengbao and also shone it with a flashlight, but the liquid inside was as black as ink, and the light of the flashlight couldn't shine into it at all, let alone find anything else in the altar.

The father shook his head and said, "I can't see anything else in it, and if it weren't for the fact that the worm was floating on the surface of this liquid, we probably wouldn't be able to see it." ”

Wang Chengbao didn't care what his father said, but was looking for something in the corner of this small stone room, and after a while, he saw a small piece of angular stone and said, "I will prove it to you." ”

When his father saw his situation, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Wait, what are you going to do?" ”

"Of course, it's to smash open this jar, since there is black liquid in it, we can't see the contents clearly, then the best way is to open a hole under the jar and release the liquid inside."

Father wanted to dissuade him at first, but Wang Chengbao was a well-known anxious son, and immediately turned his arm in a circle, and when he heard the sound of "bang", a hole the size of a bowl was smashed under the jar, and the black liquid flowed out. The Qin brothers and Duan Yuwen saw that the black water was coming towards them, and they didn't know if the black water was clean, so they dodged and leaned to the edge of the jar.

The liquid in the jar became less and less, and in the blink of an eye, half of it had flowed out, and at this time, in the center of the jar, an object that was a little blue or similar to light blue appeared in the black water, and appeared there abruptly like an island.

The father looked at Wang Chengbao and wanted to ask a question, but he stopped him. Wang Chengbao pointed to the jar and said, "Look down and you'll know the way." ”

After a while, the light blue protrusion gradually appeared under the black water, and as the thing appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a strange atmosphere instantly lingered among everyone, and the father and the others suddenly felt a chill down their spines, only that Wang Chengbao showed an extremely excited look.

It turned out that the blue protrusion in the black water turned out to be a baby's forehead. The baby's head is surprisingly large, with only a few sparse hairs on the top of the head, which seems to be a newborn child, and then look at the child's eyes, everyone's hearts are tight, and there are only two empty black holes under the eyebrows where the eyes should be, at first glance, it looks like a weird little alien.

After the black water was drained, the baby's shape finally appeared in its entirety. I saw the baby squatting in the jar, his arms around his knees, his face up, although he had no eyes, but it gave people the feeling that the baby was squatting in the jar and staring at everyone, as if he was complaining about some injustice in the world.

Qin Guihe was shocked and scolded, "Fuck, what the fuck is this?" ”

Wang Chengbao was unmoved, continued to stare at the baby in the altar, and said, "This is not clear, there is a little baby inside." ”

The father said: "It's a baby, everyone can see this, the key is that the baby will appear in this jar." ”

Wang Chengbao said: "Brother Fan, you still focus on the history of the Qin and Han dynasties, you still can't see this?" Let me ask you, what did Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty do, or in other words, what excuse did he use to depose Empress Chen? ”

"Witch Gu!" Almost subconsciously, my father replied that there are too many records of witchcraft in China's history, and some of the major witchcraft incidents even affected the political situation at that time, which was very clear to my father, who was a historian.

Wang Chengbao turned his head to look at Duan Yuwen again, and said: "What kind of paragraph is that, you said that you specialize in the history and customs of ethnic minorities, do you know that there is a baby in this jar, what does it represent?" ”

This time, Duan Yuwen was still able to answer based on his previous knowledge and the content of some miscellaneous records, he replied: "This should be a kind of Gu, in the oral tradition of some metaphysical people, I have heard about some production methods of Gu. First of all, as the predecessor of many religions, Wu's most basic concept is that 'all things have animism', and the same is true in Gu control, everything can become Gu, and all Gu can harm people. Duan Yuwen turned his eyes, he didn't want to be stared at by the baby's empty eyes, and after taking a few deep breaths, he continued: "However, I have heard that the most powerful Gu does not use poisonous insects or other poisons, but contacts poisonous insects with unjust souls, no, it doesn't seem right to say this, it should be ......"

When Wang Chengbao heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, it's really hard to listen to you explain some things, but I underestimated you a little before, it seems that you are still a little talented." I'll leave the rest to me. Wang Chengbao's gaze turned to my father, as if he was deliberately saying to him, "I once heard a Taoist priest say to me before, in the Gu technique, the most powerful death spell, talking about poisonous insects and vain souls locked together, so that they can fight, insects take their poison, and souls take their grievances, and the Gu produced is very vicious, and those who suffer from Gu are not only poisoned, but also haunted by unjust souls." ”

When Wang Chengbao said this, Duan Yuwen's face on the side turned white, and he said tremblingly: "Could it be that you mean that these are a few jars that are Gu making vessels?" ”

Wang Chengbao nodded, Duan Yuwen almost fainted. If things are really as Wang Chengbao said, then just now they mistakenly opened the Gu cultivation vessel, and the worm almost got into Duan Yuwen's mouth, so it is he who is most likely to be hit by Gu.

Father obviously saw Duan Yuwen's concern, and hurriedly patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, although there are indeed Gu techniques in history, and some Gu are indeed highly poisonous, but, in most cases, literary works still exaggerate the power of Gu arts, not to mention that we have already killed that worm, don't think about it." ”

I don't know if the Yuwen section of Lu Dao advanced my father's words, he just nodded mechanically.

The father turned to Wang Chengbao and said, "Old Wang, I think this cellar is too weird, let's leave first." ”

"Leave?" Wang Chengbao's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that this sentence came from his father's mouth, and said in surprise: "Brother Fan, this is not like something you can say, aren't you usually the most advocative of field investigations, what, is it because it is dark and you are scared when you encounter a corpse?" ”

Father shook his head, "It's not a question of fear or not, I'm a staunch atheist, and I don't believe in any wronged souls." ”

Wang Chengbao said: "That's good! Don't forget the original purpose of our visit, the bronze coffin we are looking for has not yet been seen! If you go back like this, you two won't be reconciled. Saying that, Wang Chengbao looked at the Qin brothers, as if he hoped to get the support of the two of them.

Qin Guiren thought for a while, nodded heavily, and said, "Mr. Wang, what you said is right, if you don't find that bronze coffin today and see what is wrong with that coffin, I don't think our brothers will be able to sleep peacefully in our lives." ”

Qin Guihe was also on the side of the eldest brother, thinking that he should continue to walk deeper into the cellar. My father didn't want to be seen as a coward, so he had to agree. Duan Yuwen was a little reluctant, but he also followed everyone towards another narrow hole on the left side of the stone room.

The entrance to the cave was shorter and smaller than when they entered, and the five men walked through it almost hunched over.

As we walked, Wang Chengbao asked my father abruptly: "Brother Fan, to be honest, what does this cellar make you think of?" ”

In fact, without Wang Chengbao's question, his father himself had already thought about it, so he replied simply: "Ancient tomb! The ancient cemetery of the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties! ”

Wang Chengbao looked excited and said: "Brother Fan, look, we will have a big discovery this time, which will shock the whole country, no, even the discovery that will shock the whole world." ”

The father smiled bitterly twice, but did not answer. At this time, Qin Guihe, who was walking behind the most gloomy, suddenly interjected, his voice was very small, and he said tremblingly: "Hey, you, did you hear any sound?" ”
