The three of us walked over to the mound of dirt that we had dug up at the beginning and began to search together. It wasn't a difficult process, as the soil we dug out was mostly soft, and we soon found the strange stuff in the dirt near the bottom. But when Qin Bukong picked it up with a handkerchief, I realized that it was not a yam, let alone a ginseng, but a big worm the thickness of a thumb.

If you count the part that I cut off, this worm is almost the length of the palm of your hand. Although it is in the shape of a worm, it is just a dried corpse, and the skin has dried up very badly, but the fractured surface that has been cut off looks like an apple that has been bitten, and a small amount of water oozes out, which makes it a little moist.

Qin Bukong frowned and told me that this discovery was not a good sign, because among the insect Gu techniques he was good at, there was a set of methods that were extremely similar to what he saw in front of him, but this kind of insect Gu was mostly used to cast spells on people. This insect is called "pig worm" in the southwest region, and it is a larva of a large moth that appears in summer on trees with large leaves, such as plane trees. There is a small single horn on the head, which is emerald green and similar in shape to a silkworm, but more than twice as large as a silkworm. The body is covered in green and white slurry, and if you accidentally crawl on such a worm, it will immediately cause a rash and itch.

Don't ask me why I know, will I tell you that when I was a kid I used to scare girls?

Qin Bukong said that when this insect Gu made a spell, it would choose to be under the shade of a tree, and put a nest of forty-nine insects into a jar to cut off the conditions for their pupation, so that they could only kill each other in a small environment until they reached the last stock. And the one that survives because it eats the same kind until there is no residual limb left, this worm can be a Gu mother. And because it is buried in the ground when it is a living worm, even this last worm will eventually starve to death, and its corpse is both a curse and a thing that has a strong suppressive effect on other evils.

Qin Bukong said, since we dug up this thing, it means that there must be an extremely evil thing in the vicinity of the suppressor, and it is very likely that it is the big ghost guarding the gate of the "Dragon". Songzi asked puzzledly, but didn't Senior Qin say that forty-nine articles were canned together? And now we don't seem to have crockpots in the dirt we dug up. And after all, this is a living thing, even if it is a spiritual thing, it also depends on the flesh, if so, how can it be stored in the soil with moisture, and after a thousand years, it will form a dry corpse?

Qin Bukong shook his head and said, this is difficult to say, let's go all the way here, many common sense things have become very reasonable, although we can't be sure whether this insect Gu is a thousand-year-old thing, but its appearance here must have something to do with this "dragon". I took Qin Bukong's words and said, now that I think about it, I did have been relatively normal before I shoveled this thing, but after that, I slowly noticed that something was wrong, and people were in a trance, and it was indeed from this time.

After some discussion, there was still no accurate result, so Qin Bukong wrapped up the insect corpse with a handkerchief and put it away, saying Let's continue to dig down, but after these things happened, everyone must be careful, as long as there is something wrong, withdraw immediately.

At the moment, it seems that this is the only way to go. Seeing that after I slept for a day and a night, Qin Bukong and Songzi had dug the hole to a depth of more than four meters, and the color of the soil became a little darker than the ground, which means that the moisture in the soil has gradually become more, and it also means that we are getting closer and closer to the truth. After I was carried by pine nuts, I felt a lot more energetic, so the excavation work fell on me again. I jumped into the pit and continued to dig, and then I was always on my toes, and kept blessing my body with a golden light spell in my heart.

The whole afternoon passed quickly, and I dug to a depth of about five meters. According to the previous plan, from now on, we need to dig diagonally downward, and the direction of the excavation is in the direction of the Tiji well. Due to my nightmare, my progress was originally delayed a lot, so after checking ourselves and finding that there were no other abnormalities in my body, we planned to hurry up and continue digging.

I asked Qin Bukong and Songzi to go eat something first, and then come back to replace me after eating. About half an hour later, Qin Bukong and the others came back, and Qin Bukong also jumped into the cave and told me to let me go to dinner. The food at the temple was as light and tasteless as we had expected at first, so I just ate a little. But halfway through the meal, Songzi suddenly ran to the wing room in a hurry and said to me anxiously, Situ! Don't eat it, come and save people!

I was stunned and asked, "Who to save?" What happened? Songzi said, Senior Qin! He fell into the hole! When I heard this, I immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and rushed out with the pine nuts, and on the way to it, I thought to myself, can there be any holes here that people can fall into? We've been digging diagonally since dinner, so why do we fall into it? But time was pressing, and I didn't have time to ask Matsuko, until I ran to the edge of the hole, and there was a small auxiliary hole at the bottom edge of the pit that we had dug, and the hole was not very large, and a man could still get into it if he bent over. And when I climbed to the bottom of the pit with a flashlight, I heard a sudden "Hi..." sound from the small hole.

This voice was heard in the "Sighing Dragon Well" before, but it was separated by the well water and the wall of the well at that time, and the tone of this sound was almost exactly the same as before, but it seemed to be much louder, as if it came directly from the cave. Now I was a little scared, because the voice I heard clearly at this moment conveyed to me a very clear voice: this was not the sound of the waves, let alone the sound of a dragon sighing, but the sound of a behemoth hiccups!

The small hole in front of him seemed to have been dug and collapsed by Qin Bukong's hands being too heavy, and there was a large space underneath, because when the sound of "hiccup" came, there was a very thick echo, as if it was in a cave, but Qin Bukong fell from here, as if he had fallen directly into the mouth of the big monster that was hiccups.

There was an area of less than three feet inside the cave where the dirt could be seen, but beyond that was a piece of the black hole, and I shouted towards the entrance of the cave, "Qin Bukong!" Qin is not empty! This feeling is like standing in front of a megaphone and talking, the huge echo shook my skull and resonated, but I couldn't hear Qin Bukong's answer at all, which means that Qin Bukong stumbled and fell, I'm afraid that there is more luck at the moment, otherwise, even if he is injured, he should respond to me.

When my face was pressed against the entrance of the cave, I would feel a slightly hot and humid air flow stirring in front of me, which proved that there should be a water source under the black hole. But it's underground after all, so it's more likely that this is an underground cave with stagnant water. When I thought of this, I was also a little anxious, Qin Bukong's life and death were uncertain, but I couldn't help with anything on the side.

Matsuko asked me what was going on, and I anxiously told him that Matsuko was much calmer than me when the danger happened, so he calmed down and thought for a moment before saying to me, don't worry, wait for me for a while! Without waiting for me to answer, Matsuko ran away. Since I was at the bottom of the hole, and I didn't know which direction he had gone, I waited anxiously, and while I waited, I leaned into the hole, slowly moved to the edge of the hole, and hooked my foot to the outside of the hole, so that I would not fall with it, and when it was pitch black in front of my eyes, I could not see anything, but there was a wet sensation in my nose, and after another deafening sound of what kind of monster was hiccups, I heard the sound of dripping water.

I thought to myself, probably as I guessed, this is an underground cave. Thinking of this, I turned on my flashlight and looked inside. And this seems to confirm my idea, this is a small space, about the size of our two wings combined, when the light of the flashlight shines in, I find that about six or seven meters vertically down from the entrance of the cave, there is a pitch black water.

At the place where the water surface and the shore meet, there are some small stones, and there are some slight waves constantly washing the shore, which shows that this water is living water, and it is the water source for digging wells in this Changchun Temple! At a height of six or seven meters, if you fall down, as long as you don't hit the ground with your head, you shouldn't be dead, and the big deal is the trauma of breaking your hands and feet, but according to the path of the fall, when Qin Bukong falls, there is no obstruction around, which means that there is nothing he can climb or hit to change the path, but at the place where he should have fallen, I didn't see Qin Bukong's figure, not even the slightest trace.

Could it be that this person just disappeared for no reason? I don't believe that this will happen, even if I am a god! So I began to shine a flashlight and look around in this underground space, and strangely, after the light flashed, I actually found Qin Bukong hanging his head and leaning against a black stone protruding from the water, with blood on his forehead, as if he had fainted.

As the saying goes, if you live you want to see people, you have to see corpses when you die. Qin Bukong's current position was almost five meters away from the place where he should have fallen, and since he was leaning against the big rock, it meant that he might have only been injured when he fell, struggling to get up, but fainting due to his injuries when he was resting, at this moment, it seems that this is the greatest possibility.

At this moment the sound of pine nuts came from behind me, and I quickly crawled out of the hole, only to see that he was pulling a long rope in his hand, which was made of many torn sheets knotted and spliced.
