What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

Hearing this ambiguous answer, I raised an eyebrow slightly.

"What does this mean?"

I looked at him, patiently waiting for what he would say next.

"Could it be that what's buried underneath can't be suppressed even by your Seven Star Yin-Locking Array and my willow-leaf dagger?"

"That's not the case."

With your malevolent aura at the heart of the formation, ordinary demons and monsters really can't cause any trouble.

Li Qing shook his head, his expression turning serious.

"At noon today, when the yang energy is at its strongest, I had the excavator that Boss Wang brought dig down about seven or eight meters into the foundation pit."

Li Qing paused, seemingly recalling the scene of digging at noon.

"At that time, the yin energy below did indeed erupt violently."

The commotion almost overturned the excavator's tracks.

Fortunately, the formation was activated in advance, and your willow-leaf dagger was plunged directly into the formation's core, forcefully suppressing the yin energy and preventing it from harming the surrounding workers.

"Since nothing unexpected happened, what exactly was the thing we dug up?"

I continued, following up on his words.

"A well," Li Qing uttered three words.

"well?"

I was slightly taken aback; this was indeed somewhat unexpected.

I originally thought it would be a coffin from an ancient tomb, or a feng shui artifact buried by some evil cultivator.

But it turned out to be a well.

"That's right, an ancient well built with bluestone bricks."

Li Qing nodded, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

"The well was originally covered with a heavy stone well cover."

I took a closer look and saw that the manhole cover was covered with dense runes, clearly a seal used to suppress evil.

Unfortunately, it's unclear whether it's because of its age or because previous foundation construction damaged the earth's veins.

The manhole cover, engraved with a seal, was mostly broken.

Li Qing pointed out the window and continued:

"The eerie atmosphere that permeated the construction site before, and the composite evil spirit last night, all came out from the cracks in that well."

It can be said that the root of this entire incident was that ancient well.

I listened quietly, conjuring up an image of that dilapidated ancient well in my mind.

An ancient well, with even its seal half rotten, can give rise to complex evil spirits simply from the overflowing aura.

What lies deep at the bottom of that well is definitely not simple.

"After digging it out, I used an array in conjunction with your willow-leaf dagger to completely seal off the well and the surrounding area."

The yin energy has stopped leaking out, and no one has been injured, so Boss Wang can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Qing leaned back in his seat and shrugged.

"But the problem is..."

Li Qing's eyes sharpened.

"We have no idea what's hidden in that well."

At this moment, Jin Wanliang, who had been focused on driving, glanced at me through the rearview mirror and interjected:

"Brother Chen, you don't know, after we dug that well out at noon today, I tried every possible way to find out what was inside."

Jin Wanliang gripped the steering wheel with one hand, his tone tinged with helplessness:

"I had my men bring over equipment with a high-definition night vision camera, tied it to a thick rope, and slowly lowered it down through the crack in the manhole cover to see what was inside."

And guess what happened?

"Couldn't they get a picture?" I guessed.

"It's not just that we can't get a picture!"

Jin Wanliang slapped the steering wheel and turned up the volume.

"The device had just descended less than three meters when the monitor screen connected to it went black."

Immediately afterwards, all I could see were static-like dots, and the signal was completely cut off.

Upon pulling it up, they found that the camera, along with its internal motherboard, had been frozen and cracked, rendering it completely unusable.

"That's normal."

Li Qing chimed in from the side.

"The yin energy inside that well was ridiculously strong, and the magnetic field was completely chaotic."

Let alone ordinary civilian camera equipment, even if you threw down a military detector, it would probably end up the same way.

In that kind of environment, it would be a miracle if you could get a clear picture.

At this point, Li Qing turned her head and looked at me intently.

"So, Chen Yang, this matter is stuck here now."

Li Qing abandoned his usual carefree demeanor and spoke seriously.

"We did scout the location, and we've identified the source as being inside that well."

However, this matter won't be over until we get to the bottom of the well.

"That ten million from Boss Wang is a hot potato for us."

After hearing Li Qing's words, I could roughly guess what he was thinking.

Sure enough, before I could even speak, Jin Wanliang sighed and glared at Li Qing with some annoyance.

"Brother Chen, don't listen to his righteous words."

He kept an eye on the road ahead while complaining to me.

"After seeing that well at noon today, this kid's professional instincts kicked in."

Finding that the equipment couldn't capture what was inside, he actually wanted to tie a rope around his waist and jump into the well himself to take a look!

At this point, Jin Wanliang's tone became stern, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with Li Qing's actions at the time.

"Isn't this ridiculous?!"

Jin Wanliang said somewhat excitedly.

"The yin energy at the bottom of that well can even freeze and crack iron. If he goes down alone and encounters some evil spirit that he can't deal with, he won't even have anyone to lend a hand."

not to mention……"

Jin Wanliang paused, his tone softening slightly, but still revealing deep concern:

"What's more, his injuries from the southern border haven't fully healed yet."

Although he is said to have formed his core, the fact that he vomited blood and fainted before is a fact.

The old Chinese medicine doctor advised him to rest, but he's already acting recklessly again. He'd barely been able to get out of bed and move around for a few days before wanting to take another risk.

I sat in the back row, quietly listening to Jin Wanliang's rant.

Jin Wanliang usually appears to be a profit-driven businessman, shrewd and adaptable, able to say one thing to one person and another to another.

But after all that has happened, I know very well that he truly considers Li Qing and me as brothers in arms.

Seeing that Li Qing wanted to take risks despite his injuries, he was naturally the first to stand up and stop him.

"So, I held him back no matter what."

Jin Wanliang breathed a sigh of relief and made a summary.

"I told him that this matter is not urgent and can be resolved in a short time."

"Since the formation has already suppressed the well, it's not too late for the three of us brothers to get together after you get off work, Brother Chen, and come up with a foolproof plan before discussing it further."

After listening to Jin Wanliang's account, I turned my gaze to Li Qing, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Li Qing pursed her lips, her lips moved a few times, as if she wanted to say something in rebuttal.

But in the end, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Actually, I roughly know what Li Qing is thinking.
