He Zhenfu looked left and right, and he didn't see anything wrong in this tree pit, but he vaguely felt that the soil here seemed to be looser than when it was dug up yesterday.

It's just that the soil is loose, it shouldn't be a big deal, if it's really an earth-shattering guy running out of the well, it shouldn't be the soil pine, it should be the edge of the well is collapsing.

He clapped his hands, turned around and said, "There's nothing here, maybe it's just the rumors, okay, it's weird to be tired after staying up all night, you can go back first." ”

The three internal guards snorted, and just as they were about to leave, they heard an exclamation from behind: "Wait, this soil, it's not right." ”

The internal guards paused and rushed to He Zhenfu's side.

He Zhenfu squatted on the ground, his hand was empty on the ground, and his face was solemn: "Look at this, this, and this, it is moth-eaten." ”

The three of them looked at each other.

After He Zhenfu mentioned this, they noticed that there were more dense holes on the originally ordinary soil, as small as pinholes, and if they didn't look carefully, it was extremely difficult to distinguish.

A few people followed the tiny and faint traces until they reached the edge of the pond.

The pond is also covered with tiny holes that are covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the holes become visible.

He Zhenfu frowned, what kind of insect is this, it actually mothed the ground like this, I don't know if this insect came out of the pond or from the well.

He turned his head and commanded in a deep voice: "Go back to the Internal Security Division, please ask the young envoy to come over, be quick." ”

The three of them didn't dare to be careless, so they went out to urge the horses to gallop and went to the Internal Guard Division.

The matter was urgent, Han Changwan took the letter from the three of them, and rushed to the Cerseilou without even taking a breath, threw the reins to the people around him at will, lifted his robe and entered the door.

As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw He Zhenfu lying on the edge of the pond, looking at the little mud that had been dug up, without blinking his eyes.

He also walked over quickly and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

He Zhenfu hurriedly got up, pointed to the traces on the ground, and recounted the discovery just now, and said solemnly: "The lowly party has just carefully investigated, these traces extend from the wellhead to the pond, and it should be insects that crawled out of the well and climbed into the pond." ”

Han Changdui also saw the tiny holes in the ground at a glance, and frowned slightly: "What kind of worm is it, and how many are there to moth the ground like this?" ”

He Zhenfu was also completely clueless, and said in a low voice a little dejected: "I've been watching here for a long time, and I haven't seen any insects crawling out." ”

Han Changwan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Dig, dig the well first." ”

He Zhenfu belched, beckoned the internal guards inside and out, first half-opened the jujube tree that had fallen to the side, waved a shovel, and prepared to start digging the well.

"Wait," Han Changdui hurriedly shouted, "Only use a shovel to dig, and never touch the soil with your hands." ”

The guards all claimed yes, rolled up their sleeves, and dug up dirt.

A moment later, there was a loud noise, the rubble rolled to the ground, and the edge of the well collapsed.

The sun gradually rose, and the guards exerted all their strength, and fine beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads, shining brightly in the sun.

More than a dozen internal guards worked together, digging extremely fast, and after a while, He Zhenfu exclaimed: "My lord, it's dug up, and there is a big vat buried here." ”

Han Changdui's face changed slightly, and while shouting loudly not to move, he strode over quickly, bending down to look at the huge pit where a vat had just been exposed.

It is the most common clay jar, used by ordinary people to pickle vegetables, the dark brown color is almost melted with the soil, and the mouth of the jar is tightly sealed.

Han Changwan jumped off the pit without hesitation, and subconsciously stretched out his hand back, and there was an extra pair of gauntlets in his hand.

He looked back and saw that it was Yao Qi squatting on the ground with a smile, putting a handguard on his hand, and then jumped into the pit, he raised his eyebrows and put on the handguard.

The two of them carefully picked up the soil, and the soil was sent out one by one, and the clay jar gradually revealed its true face.

This jar is half a person high, dark brown throughout, and the glaze on the outside is excellent, but it is not stained when buried in the soil, and the glaze is still shiny.

Han Changwan looked at the jar and pondered for a moment, and said, "Yao joins the army, let's take the jar out and put it on top first." ”

Yao Qi nodded, and together with Han Changdu, one of them carried the side and handed the vat to the person above first.

After the vat was removed from the pit, the pit became empty in an instant.

Han Changdui squatted down, looking at the mark left at the bottom of the tank, his face sank.

The imprint was very deep, full of uniform round protrusions, the size of a thumb, against the bottom of the cylinder, and it was in the bottom of the cylinder that small holes were opened.

He took out the dagger, scraped a little dirt and wrapped it in a handkerchief, took He Zhenfu's outstretched hand, jumped out of the deep pit, and stood on the ground.

He turned his head and stretched out his hand to pull Yao Qi, who expected Yao Qi to tap on his tiptoes, jumped out of the deep pit, and stood on the ground lightly.

His hand suddenly pulled a lonely one, and he stopped in mid-air in embarrassment.

He Zhenfu pursed his lips, don't look away, he is dedicated to doing this, he has no eyes to see.

The guards on the side didn't know the inside story, but they didn't think about it so much, they just secretly said to themselves, so handsome and light.

It wasn't until she stepped on the ground that Yao Qi realized that she had just done something stupid, swept Han Changdu's face and slapped him in the face.

She said with a smiling face: "My lord, do you want to open it?" ”

Han Changdui had already recovered from his loss and nodded: "Let's go, it should be empty inside, but you still have to be careful." ”

Yao Qi nodded, gave He Zhenfu a face towel, covered his mouth and nose, and carefully removed the wax seal at the mouth of the cylinder.

After removing the wax seal, the lid suddenly loosened.

Yao Qi and He Zhenfu glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and then uncovered the lid.

A turbid gas wrapped in black smoke suddenly gushed out, and through the face towel, it still made people dizzy and tearful.

Yao Qi frowned, well, the smell of old decay is really good, she wants to turn around and run away in the next second.

He Zhenfu held the lamp into the vat, leaned over to look at it, turned around and shouted, "My lord, it's empty." ”

Han Changwan had expected this, his face changed slightly, he stepped forward in a heavy manner, took the lamp in He Zhenfu's hand, and illuminated the belly of the vat.

The jar is also glazed, the glaze is warm and moist, and there is a faint painting under the glaze.

Han Changdui was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, his face had changed, he was silent for a moment, and he said to He Zhenfu without looking back: "He Zongqi, the internal security department will take the hat, boots and handguards, let the internal guards change them, dig the pond, you personally go to interrogate those people in the Se Se Building, be sure to ask when this jujube tree was planted and who planted it." ”

Although He Zhenfu didn't see Han Changdu's face, he was obedient and listened to the sound, and he also heard that something was not good, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment and walked out.

Yao Qi also heard that something was wrong, leaned into the vat to see, her face changed, the inner wall of the vat was not a painted pattern, but the living thing was sealed in the glaze, the hideous body still existed, it could be clearly seen that it was five kinds of poisons, she couldn't help muttering: "It's five poisons, my lord, this vat is buried in the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Han Changdui tore off the mud-stained gauntlet and threw it to the ground, rubbed his eyebrows, and frowned for a long time without saying a word.

This is troublesome, this jar is obviously used to raise Gu, and the Gu worms have obviously run away last night, and they have been quiet for a night, I don't know if they can be found, and I don't know what the origin of these Gu is, if you don't find out as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will grow into a big disaster in Ancheng.

Just as he was contemplating, Yao Qi had already turned the vat over, with the mouth facing down and the bottom facing up, and a large stone under the mouth of the cylinder.

The sunlight sprinkled on the cylinder, leaking into the cylinder from the small round hole carved at the bottom of the cylinder, and the round light spots just shone on the ground, vaguely like a formation.

Yao Qi squatted on the ground, looked carefully, and almost wanted to grow two eyeballs on those points of light, feeling that this formation was familiar, too familiar.

Seeing it, she forgot about her humility, didn't get up and didn't salute, and opened her mouth to shout: "My lord, come and see, this seems to be a formation." ”

After shouting, she held her forehead, and she couldn't get distracted, and as soon as she was distracted, her original form was revealed.

Luckily, the guards scattered everywhere, and no one noticed.

Han Changdui didn't care, walked over, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "It's a formation, and it's vaguely similar to the one in this building and the one in the pond." ”

Yao Qi twisted his eyebrows: "A Gu cultivation tank, but a formation is chiseled at the bottom of the tank, it's too weird." ”

Han Changwan pursed his lips and was silent.

Just when the two of them were silent, the internal guard department sent something in, and the internal guards changed into robes and boots and handguards, jumped into the pond, and searched inch by inch.

The sun warmed a little, and the mud in the pond became soft, and when you stepped on a deep pit, the mud rushed to the legs, but fortunately these people were wearing knee-high boots, so the mud did not pour into the boots.

The sun hung in the middle, soft and warm sprinkled down, and an internal guard carried a food box into the backyard, Han Changdui waved his hand, and let people rest on the ground and went out.

Yao Ji opened the food box, two bowls of mutton dumplings with thick and meaty soup, she wiped the bamboo chopsticks, handed them to Han Changdu, and said with a smile: "You have to eat first for big things, and only when you are full can you have the strength to ask the case." ”

Han Changwan raised his lips and smiled, eating very fast, Yao Ji was still suspicious that he swallowed it without chewing, this bowl of mutton dumplings, there was not even soup left.

At this time, the guards turned over the pond and sifted through the mud one by one, not to mention the insects that could eat the ground, even the grass roots that rotted in the mud, but they did not screen out a single one.

Listening to the replies of the internal guards, Han Changdui's heart fell to the bottom inch by inch, he knew that this Gu worm was extremely powerful, he had eaten everything in the mud, and he had already escaped invisibly at this time, but he was afraid that he had returned to the hands of the Gu cultivator and dedicated it to the main Gu.
