Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 149 Water Dragon Pillar! (4000 first change)
"Spirit Lake absorbs soul?!"

Hearing Wu Liang's words, Bai Jingjing looked surprised.

Wu Liang's previous secrecy work was very strict. Except for Yang Wanli and others who went out to inquire about the news in advance, the rest of the people, including Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing, knew nothing about the "spirit sucking lake".

Wu Liang knew the horror of "spiritual lake sucking soul", but also knew the uncertainty of "spiritual lake sucking soul".

Therefore, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, although he made many puzzling arrangements in advance to prevent it, he never revealed the reason.

For example: Order the soldiers of the Liren Army to camp on the top of a mountain two miles away from here.

Another example: when visiting the tomb, the soldiers of the Tuan army were ordered to leave behind four fast horses, and the rest of them all retreated to the camp on the top of the mountain.

There are many differences between this arrangement and his previous tomb robbery, and it seems that some manpower will be wasted from the outside. Even if no one is guarding the tomb when entering the tomb, it will increase the possibility of accidents.

As a result, when some soldiers commute between Haihunhou's tomb and the mountain camp every day, they always feel that they have taken some wrong roads in vain. There are already a small group of people who have begun to question Wu Liang's ability to lead the army, and miss the time when Cao Zhi was the captain of Mojin. scene.

of course.

That is to discuss in private, and no one dared to raise objections in front of him.

Not only because they are soldiers and Wu Liang is a general, but also because of Wu Liang's "cruel" nature that is sometimes revealed under his gentle appearance.

Even though not many people knew about the time when Yang Wanli was "intimidated" by Wu Liang, many people had witnessed the "ruthlessness" that Wu Liang showed when negotiating with the tomb guards in the outskirts of Yuancheng.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Tuan Army have reached a consensus in private, that is, they would rather offend Cao Teng than Wu Liang, it is too vicious.

This is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

At this moment, Wu Liang was not on the mountain, so a few soldiers chatted privately about Wu Liang's recent decision:
"I don't know what Lieutenant Wu is thinking. Why do we have to camp here? Not only will we not be able to rescue him in time, but we have to travel a lot of wrong roads every day. It's really nonsense. If Lieutenant Cao is still here, we will definitely not So arranged."

"That's right, but the two are different. Colonel Cao was born in a noble family. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also studied a lot of art of war when he was young. Captain Wu...you know it."

"This is life. Some people are lucky. They can change from slavery to captain in a few months..."

"Shut up! Lieutenant Wu is also someone you can arrange behind your back?"

"Don't dare, it's too long. We just don't quite understand why Captain Wu arranged it like this. Your thinking is more flexible than ours. Let us analyze and analyze it."

"This... how does I know? In short, you remember that the salary of our Tuan army has been increased several times in a row, all thanks to Captain Wu! Also, you didn't go to Yuancheng with the army last time, so you don't know Captain Wu. What he did, he is actually much more powerful than Captain Cao. If I tell you, he almost wiped out a 300-man trilogy under Lu Bu's command without bloodshed, and he easily resolved the conflict with the tomb guards when he turned around. The four scouts who fell into the hands of the cemetery keeper asked the cemetery keeper to voluntarily let him into the tomb to search for treasure, do you think he is powerful?"

"real or fake?"

"Isn't this a magic trick?"

"It seems that you can see through people's hearts?"

"When did I ever tell a lie? Also, I would like to advise you...don't offend Colonel Wu. If he wants to be ruthless, you will definitely not be able to bear it!"

"..."

"In short, listen to me, you guys. In the future, if anyone dares to talk nonsense in private, when Captain Wu takes care of them, don't blame me for not interceding for you, but also taking the initiative to report Pick yourself up clean!"

"..."

at this time.

"Rumble..."

Accompanied by the dull sound coming from the ground, the hill where the Tuan army was stationed also shook slightly twice, and many soldiers stood up quickly.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, these two strokes knocked my sapper down, but it doesn't seem to be shaking anymore?"

"Is it an earthquake? I heard that there is a big carp living in the ground. After a long time, the big carp wants to turn over. As long as the big carp turns over, our ground will tremble."

"There will be nothing wrong with Captain Wu, right? Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Have you forgotten Captain Wu's order? It's less than 6 hours now, and Miss Bai hasn't whistled yet, so don't act rashly, everyone stay put!"

……

"Brother Dianwei!"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing had already reached the dry well, and immediately raised their heads to call Dian Wei.

"Homeowner!"

Dian Wei's face appeared above the dry well.

"Quick! Pull the two of us up, we will leave here immediately and return to the mountain!"

Wu Liang said anxiously, and he had already tied Bai Jingjing's climbing knots. As for himself, after Bai Jingjing went up, he would pull the rope and Dianwei would pull it, and he could climb up easily without such trouble. .

"Yes!"

Dian Wei's execution ability is extremely strong, and he never asks why when he gets an order, and starts to act immediately.

In this way, with just a few breaths, Bai Jingjing, who hadn't figured out what was going on, was already pulled up.

Then Wu Liang quickly climbed up along the rope.

Before he had time to explain, Wu Liang immediately rushed to the horse that Dian Wei had brought over ahead of time, urging loudly: "Quick! Get on the horses! Get on the horses and return to the mountain as soon as possible!"

While talking, Wu Liang had already jumped onto the horse's back.

Although the remaining three people didn't understand what happened, seeing Wu Liang's expression and tone were very anxious, they hurried over and got on their horses, and followed Wu Liang towards the direction of the hill.

It was also at this time that the few people had a little gap to talk.

"This... drive! Drive! Young master, what is the reason for this move? Could it be that you and this girl encountered some strange things in the tomb?"

Yu Ji slapped the horse's butt with all his strength, and finally managed to catch up with Wu Liang, and couldn't help asking with his voice up and down.

"Drive! Did you feel the earthquake just now?"

Wu Liang tried his best to urge him to get off the horse, while turning around to ask questions.

"I feel it, but this level of earthquake is not enough to threaten our safety?"

Yu Ji said puzzled.

"No! Didn't you say before that the feng shui pattern here is the 'Eight Demons of the Underworld', and the owner of the tomb will be protected by the Eight Evils of the Underworld after burial from the outside world?"

Wu Liang immediately said half-truthfully, "When the earthquake happened just now, I calculated with my fingers, and the calculated result was more fierce than fierce! That is to say, the 'Eight Demons of the Underworld' might be ready to show their power now, and the sudden appearance The earthquake is a sign, if we don’t leave as soon as possible, we will suffer disaster, you know my divination technique, and there have been no omissions so far, so we must leave this place as soon as possible!”

In fact, Wu Liang now recalled what happened in the tomb before, and he has already noticed some signs before the earthquake - those burial insects!

Studies in later generations have shown that before each earthquake, there are always some animals that are more sensitive than humans in other aspects, such as rats and snakes, which can predict in advance and will flee in advance.

Even the Celestial Dynasty had made relevant discoveries as early as the Tang Dynasty.

"Kaiyuan Zhanjing Dijing" left such a record: "Rats gather in the streets of the imperial court and scream, and the place is slaughtered."

And those burial insects probably also sensed the arrival of the earthquake in advance, so they fled in a hurry after opening the tomb...

It's just that at that time, Wu Liang was so focused on robbing the tomb that he ignored this detail.

Moreover, what Wu Liang was afraid of was not an earthquake. According to historical records, there was no serious earthquake in this place at this time, and the terrain of their generation was vast and flat. If an earthquake really came, it would be difficult to directly threaten their lives.

What he is afraid of is the unpredictable "carbon dioxide" hidden at the bottom of Linghu Lake, which is the so-called "soul-absorbing spirit lake" event.

Although this earthquake didn't feel very strong on the ground, it is very likely to break the excess high-pressure balance at the bottom of the lake. If so, the carbon dioxide gas will spew out of the lake like a runaway horse, thereby resuming the earthquake. A "spirit lake sucking soul" incident broke out.

Must guard against!

"Drive! Drive! Drive! Run the horse!"

Hearing Wu Liang's words, Yu Ji immediately seemed to have taken a stimulant, and beat the horse even harder to sit down, fearing that if he ran a step slower, he would die in hell.

This old boy who lived nearly ninety years ago had a much stronger desire to survive than ordinary people.

It's true that everyone has his own ambitions.

If Wu Liang was allowed to live to such an old age as a boy, Wu Liang would have been tired of living long ago.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing also whipped the horses vigorously, if they didn't do this, they would be thrown away by Wu Liang and Yu Ji.

……

at the same time.

"Uncle Yang! Wu Sima and others have already come out of the tomb, and they are rushing towards us at full speed! Also... the lake below seems to be a bit strange!"

A soldier responsible for monitoring the situation below came to Yang Wanli to report.

"Did something happen in the tomb?"

Yang Wanli's expression tightened, and he quickly got up and went to the top of the mountain to look down.

I saw Wu Liang and the other four were still galloping below, with four extremely spectacular clouds of smoke behind them.

The tomb of Marquis Haihun was only 2 miles away from the hill where they camped. Now they have run half of the distance, and they will probably be able to run down the hill in a few minutes at most.

If you go up the mountain from the relatively gentle west side, you can also ride a horse, but the footsteps will be slightly slower, and it will take a few minutes.

Look at Naling Lake again...

With this glance, Yang Wanli was startled.

At this moment, Linghu Lake has changed from a beautiful blue mirror to a...Yang Wanli doesn't know how to describe it, he only sees a large cloud of grayish-yellow muddy water in the center of the lake. Stop and spread around.

And at the center of the muddy water, the lake water has already rolled like boiling water, arousing huge water ripples.

It was as if an invisible giant monster was writhing in the muddy water.

"Uncle Yang, do you need to send someone down to meet Captain Wu?"

The soldier asked again.

"No! Lieutenant Wu issued an order before entering the tomb. If there is any change in the Linghu Lake, we must not go down the mountain easily. Do you want to disobey the military order?"

Yang Wanli said immediately.

Is the rumored "Spirit Lake Soul Absorber" about to appear?

Thinking of this, Yang Wanli was very nervous, but this was definitely not the reason why he didn't send people down the mountain, nor was it because he was afraid of being punished for disobeying the military order, but because he believed in Wu Liang's arrangement unconditionally.

After seeing Wu Liang's abilities in the tomb of King Liu Qu of Guangchuan on the outskirts of Yuancheng, Yang Wanli had already admired Wu Liang. He knew that any arrangement Wu Liang made must have his own ideas. I don't quite understand the reason, but I believe that what Wu Liang did must be the best arrangement.

If he makes his own opinion, it will disrupt Wu Liang's arrangement, and it may not necessarily lead to good results at that time.

What's more, if the "Spirit Lake Soul Absorber" really comes out, this mountain is at most less than 3 miles away from the Spirit Lake, so is it really safe?

"But……"

That soldier was one of the four scouts who fell into the hands of the tomb guards. Seeing that Yang Wanli refused to send someone to meet Wu Liang on the grounds of military orders, what else did he want to say.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again! Come!"

Yang Wanli interrupted him immediately by raising his hand, and called the messenger to say, "Pass my order, everyone stays on the spot and is not allowed to go down the mountain at will, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

……

at last.

Wu Liang and others rode their horses to the foot of the mountain.

"Ride up the hill! Quick!"

Wu Liang still didn't relax at this moment, and then he yelled at Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji, and continued to drive the horses that were already panting.

So the four continued to force their horses to run up the mountain.

It's almost halfway up the mountain.

"boom!"

A loud noise suddenly came from the direction of Linghu.

Wu Liang hurriedly turned his head.

However, with this loud noise, a water dragon column with a height of several tens of feet has risen from the lake. At this moment, it is like a giant dragon rushing out of the water, and the "roar" is earth-shattering.

coming!

It's finally here!

"Quick! Hurry up! Keep going up the mountain! It's too late!"

At this moment, although the height difference between Wu Liang and the others and the lake surface is tens of meters, because the distance between this hill and Linghu Lake is too close, even after a large amount of carbon dioxide pours out, it will be rapidly accelerated due to the high density. Sinking, the height of the gas layer passing through here will not be too low.

Therefore, it is necessary to climb as high as possible before the layer of invisible and intangible gas covers it.

He heard Wu Liang's urgent cry.

Shocked by the shocking scene in the lake, Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji finally came to their senses and hurriedly continued to gallop.

call--!
It's already windy.

Wu Liang and the others ran up the mountain for tens of meters.

It's a pity that Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji gradually fell behind. The physical strength of the horses under them seemed to be slightly weaker. At this moment, they were already overwhelmed, and their speed gradually slowed down. There was a distance of nearly ten meters away from Wu Liang and Dian Wei.

"Quick!"

Wu Liang anxiously turned around and urged.

However, the horses under Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji's seats suddenly stiffened, and they staggered and fell to the ground.

And Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji, who fell down afterward, were like dead corpses, completely unresponsive!
