Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 207 Female Guardian (4000)

After some confirmation, Wu Liang and others finally confirmed that the person who suddenly emerged from the "wall" was Yang Wanli.

Although the Yang Wanli in the eyes of Dian Wei and Yu Ji still maintains the terrifying appearance they imagined, Dian Wei no longer holds hostility towards such a Yang Wanli, and Yu Ji is no longer full of fear of such a Yang Wanli.

Wu Liang stepped forward, slightly helped Yang Wanli to lean on his leg, then unplugged the water bag, and fed the water in the water bag into his mouth bit by bit.

Feed like this for a while.

Qingshui finally moistened Yang Wanli's burning throat, Yang Wanli endured the tearing pain in his throat, and finally let out a hoarse voice: "Master..."

"When did you wake up?"

Wu Liang asked with a smile.

"Just... Just now... Uh... I seem to have had a long dream... Young Master, what is going on?"

Yang Wanli asked with difficulty.

"You were caught by an evil spirit while investigating the ruins of the ancient city. Just like the folk rumors you heard before, you almost ended up in a situation where no one was alive, no one was dead, and no corpse was seen. I will tell you about the specific things in detail later."

Wu Liang said concisely, and then asked, "Where's the soldier with you, how is he doing?"

"He... he hasn't woken up yet, the villain heard the voice of the young master and others... so he crawled in first to check..."

A look of doubt appeared on Yang Wanli's face, but he didn't continue to ask, but took the lead in answering Wu Liang's question, and then asked, "Then son... what happened to you just now... why are you so close? But you can't see the villain?"

"Unfortunately, we were also bewitched."

Wu Liang smiled wryly, and seeing Yang Wanli showing concern again, he explained, "However, we are not under the control of evil spirits, but just hallucinations, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

The "evil spirit" that Wu Liang said was the "Yunyang" that had been burned to ashes.

He had worried about this before.

According to his guess, the "evil energy" emitted by "Yunyang" should be some kind of chemical substance similar to alkaloids.

This chemical substance can affect human consciousness, turning human beings into units similar to ants or bees, and "Yunyang" sends out some kind of signal like the queen of ants or bees, guiding people to live without self-awareness. Under the circumstances, make some actions that are beneficial to "Yunyang".

It's like trying every means to run away from home, come to the "Yunyang" tree and sleep forever, so as to become the fertilizer of "Yunyang".

Now that "Yunyang" has been burned by Wu Liang, it means that the Queen Ant or Queen Bee no longer exists, and naturally there is no signal source that can guide Wu Liang and others.

But that alkaloid-like chemical doesn't just disappear.

This substance entered into the bodies of Wu Liang and the others, and after a period of transformation and adaptation, it would still have some out-of-control effects on their consciousness, resulting in hallucinations.

And this illusion, when guided by the words of the companion, will continue to change...

Originally, Wu Liang still had some doubts about the aging of this alkaloid-like chemical substance, and he didn't know when he would be able to completely get rid of the hallucination.

After all, Yang Wanli and the soldier were still sleeping outside.

No one knows when they will be able to wake up, maybe a few hours later, maybe a few days later, or maybe until they die.

But now seeing that Yang Wanli had woken up.

From this point of view, the duration of this hallucination should only be a few days without "Yunyang", and they will not die because of it. Wu Liang immediately let go of his hanging heart.

and.

With Yang Wanli who has woken up, they are like a group of "blind men" with "eyes". At least Yang Wanli can guide them to make correct judgments and temporarily bring them back to the hiding place of the Huan army.

In this way, one can avoid being influenced by hallucinations to do some stupid things and lose one's life unknowingly.

As for the tomb of Duke Ai of Qi.

Wu Liang decided to put it aside for now.

Although Yang Wanli was able to guide them to continue exploring the tomb, he may not be able to recount everything they saw and heard in the tomb.

Even if he could recount it, Wu Liang might not be able to accurately imagine everything in the tomb just by describing it, let alone whether there were other thrilling places in it, and he was not sure whether he would miss some important archaeological information.

Even, because of some negligence in the description, hallucinations continue to appear...

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is most appropriate to wait until the hallucinations have completely disappeared before investigating.

……

After exchanging information with Yang Wanli, everyone has understood the current situation.

"My lord, what should we do next?"

After drinking water to moisten his throat and talking for a while, although Yang Wanli's voice was still hoarse, he was able to speak more normally.

It's just that when talking, there is still some tearing pain in the throat.

"Dianwei, come and support Yang Wanli."

Wu Liang turned around and called Dian Wei over, and arranged, "Yang Wanli, you are our eyes from now on, you guide us out of the mausoleum first, then guide Dian Wei to hide this mausoleum, and then take us back to the hidden valley , after the evil spirit on our bodies dissipates, it won’t be too late to come and investigate this tomb.”

"Yes."

While speaking, Yang Wanli was easily erected by Dian Wei.

Yang Wanli also guided the crowd to the outside of the mausoleum in great detail, passed through the tomb passage easily, and returned to the outside world through the stone steps.

In fact, after passing through the "illusion wall", Wu Liang and the others were able to see the situation in the tomb passage and the road under their feet.

However, Yang Wanli's guidance is still crucial.

Every word he uttered was "guiding" Wu Liang and the others, which effectively prevented the four of them from having some illusions that did not match the facts.

otherwise.

Maybe the stone steps leading out of the mausoleum will also disappear.

Even if you walk out of the mausoleum smoothly, everything outside may have hallucinations. Maybe you will see "Yunyang" come back to life, or see the same charred mummy standing up and walking, or even returning to the world. In the valley where the Huan army hides, the Huan army soldiers will be regarded as terrifying walking corpses...

This is called "my hallucinations, I call the shots", and everything moves with my heart.

Even Wu Liang said that he couldn't bear this endless hallucination offensive, and he would have a mental breakdown sooner or later.

So filed out of the mausoleum.

Yang Wanli had already described the situation outside in detail in advance: "The outside is still the same, with the burnt wreckage of the big tree lying nearby, and black ashes are falling everywhere. The ground should be all your footprints left before. There are traces of my crawling."

"This brother hasn't woken up yet, but seeing that his chest is still rising and falling, there shouldn't be any serious problems, but the evil energy in his body hasn't dissipated yet."

After listening to Yang Wanli's description, and because of Yang Wanli's "eyes", everyone felt more at ease, and they did not experience any hallucinations.

Wu Liang went straight to the sleeping soldier, and put his hand under his nostrils.

Then he decisively strangled him among the people.

"Uh!"

The sleeping soldier let out a hum, then frowned, his body shook violently, and opened his eyes instantly.

really.

The time limit for the "evil energy" has passed. Although the soldier did not wake up automatically, he can already be awakened by physical methods.

"Drink your saliva to moisten your throat first."

Wu Liang knew that this soldier had the same experience as Yang Wanli, especially after being smoked last night, the most uncomfortable thing must be his throat, so he didn't ask him to speak, but directly sent the water bag to his mouth.

"?!"

The soldier had just woken up and apparently did not understand what had happened.

He just looked at Wu Liang and the others with a look of astonishment, but he still instinctively began to swallow the clear water that was sent into his mouth. It was a hunger and thirst, like a lungfish that meets rain after a long drought.

And Wu Liang didn't ask any more questions, and while feeding him water, he turned his head and explained to Yang Wanli and Dian Wei: "Yang Wanli, take Dian Wei to cover the bronze plate that covers the entrance of the mausoleum first, and then burn it with these." The charcoal was used to cover it up and try to leave no trace."

"Yes!"

Yang Wanli and Dian Wei immediately followed suit.

At this moment, Wu Liangcai looked back at the soldier again, and said with a smile: "I know what you are thinking now, don't ask anything, don't say anything, Yang Wanli will explain to you what happened before."

"Um……"

The soldier quickly responded while drinking clear water hungrily and painfully.

……

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli managed to seal the entrance to the mausoleum.

Dian Wei simply lifted a huge piece of Yunyang wreckage and put it on the bronze plate, and used a lot of carbon ash and some smaller charcoal to disguise it as a burnt bonfire, which could finally play a role in deceiving people.

At this time, the soldier was finally able to sit up.

Wu Liang looked back and confirmed that there was nothing missing, so he set up the soldier and walked out along the secret underground passage, saying, "Let's go, let's put this tomb first, let's put it away first." Go back to the valley to recuperate for a few days."

at this time.

"Attention, there are people up there!"

Bai Jingjing suddenly raised an alarm.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Liang and the others immediately raised their vigilance again, stood quietly and listened with their ears pricked up.

It's a pity that after listening for a while, they didn't hear any obvious movement, so they all looked at Bai Jingjing in surprise.

Naturally, Wu Liang would not doubt Bai Jingjing's hearing. He pondered for a while, and then asked, "Which direction is the person above?"

"Scattered in all directions, the footsteps are not uniform, there are fast and slow, it should be scattered actions."

Bai Jingjing closed her beautiful eyes, and said while listening.

"Everywhere... how many people are there?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"It shouldn't be less, I can hear at least dozens of people's footsteps... Wait a minute, someone is talking!"

Halfway through the talk, Bai Jingjing suddenly signaled Wu Liang and the others to keep quiet, and after listening quietly for more than ten seconds, she continued, "These are probably people from 'Shou Cao Dao'. Cheng County saw the flames when we burned Yunyang, so after dawn, we specially sent people to investigate the situation and try to find out the cause of the fire."

"However, the people who came to investigate didn't seem to be willing. The few people closest to here are complaining, worried that if they rashly enter the ruins of this evil ancient city, they will get into trouble as the rumors say..."

In fact, when Bai Jingjing taught everyone to be quiet.

Wu Liang and the others also vaguely heard a few shouts from above, as well as the voices of some people talking, but the voices they heard were very vague and intermittent under the influence of the wind, and Bai Jingjing didn't listen at all. so understand.

"How far is the closest person to us today?"

Wu Liang lowered his voice and asked again.

"About ten feet."

Bai Jingjing replied.

"This……"

Wu Liang's mind was running fast.

With a distance of more than ten feet, if there were no ruined walls in the ancient city to block their sight, these uninvited guests should be able to immediately find the traces of "Yunyang" being burned.

After all, "Yunyang" is a thousand-year-old tree, and it takes seven or eight people to hold hands to keep the trunk alone.

What's more, after the burning last night, a large hole the same size as the tree trunk was left at the top of the underground secret passage. The people who came to investigate were not blind. With a blanket search, Wu Liang believed that they would be able to find this place in a short time.

It's okay to find this place, the point is not to let them discover the Qi Ai cemetery.

Otherwise, if the news gets out, this ancient tomb will definitely be ransacked by the believers of "Shou Cao Dao", and Wu Liang is now affected by hallucinations, and besides Dian Wei, there is no one who can beat him, which is really not good Handle.

Fortunately.

Before this group of uninvited guests arrived, Wu Lianggang taught Dianwei and Yang Wanli to deal with the entrance of the mausoleum, so it should still be possible to deceive others...

"Hide in the secret passage first, and see if these people can find the tomb here before making a decision!"

Thinking so, Wu Liang immediately said to the others.

So the group of people immediately tiptoed into the dark underground secret passage, hid in a corner and observed and listened to the situation here.

If after a few minutes.

"found it!"

"Guardian! Don't look for it anymore!"

"We've found the place where the fire started last night, and it's here!"

Suddenly, several people shouted from above.

Sure enough, it was discovered!

After a while, a group of people had obviously gathered beside the big hole left by the burning of Yunyang, and their voices gradually became chaotic.

"Listening to these footsteps, I'm afraid there are more than a few dozen people, maybe hundreds of people."

Bai Jingjing said to Wu Liang at the right time.

at this time.

"Shut up!"

A majestic and indifferent female voice suddenly sounded.

Those messy voices disappeared in an instant, and after a moment of silence, the female voice finally said: "There is not only a bonfire below, but also many charred corpses...Come on, let the rope go down, and go find some people. some."

　Thanks to [Flying Dandelion] and [Jiang Jingyou] for their support.
