Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 277 Fiery Oil (4000)

"Rich?!"

Without waiting for Wu Liang to be embarrassed, Zhuge Liang, who was still trembling, ran over with a look of surprise, and hugged the poor big yellow dog in his arms.

Zhuge Liang usually doesn't have many friends, so he is naturally closer to the dog at home.

Before that, two of the three dogs in the family disappeared inexplicably. Zhuge Liang was still sad for a while, and begged Zhuge Xuan to catch the dog thief and punish him severely, but he didn't notice that Zhuge Xuan's expression was a little unnatural at that time...

"Brother Zhuge."

Wu Liang and the others looked at each other in embarrassment, and even chased after them to check the situation.

After a simple inspection, Wu Liang found that the big yellow dog hadn't suffered any injuries, but his stomach was completely deflated, and his figure was much thinner than before.

It seemed that he was so hungry that he couldn't even stand up, so he could only crawl on the ground with difficulty, which is why the previous scene appeared.

"Talented brother, do you think there is still salvation for wealth?"

Zhuge Liang turned around holding the big yellow dog and asked.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, let's give it a try first."

Wu Liang thought for a while and said.

Then he asked Dian Wei to take out a little dry food, crush it and mix it with water, making a bowl of dry food paste and putting it in the big yellow dog's mouth.

The big yellow dog stretched out its tongue and licked it, and immediately let out a whimper of excitement, its tail frantically swung, "pa pa pa pa" back and forth on Zhuge Liang's face and began to gobble it up...

"Just aim at the spirit head, it will definitely not die."

Wu Liang laughed.

"Bah! Bah!"

Zhuge Liang finally calmed down, and while spitting out the dog hair in his mouth, he pushed the big yellow dog away, cursing, "This dead thing, I don't know what dirty thing it ran to touch, it smells so bad! "

bad smell...

Zhuge Liang's words reminded Wu Liang again.

When he approached just now, he also smelled a very special smell from this big yellow dog. This smell was somewhat similar to the gasoline of later generations, but not exactly the same.

And Wu Liang remembered very clearly that when he drove the big yellow dog into the mausoleum, he didn't smell this smell on it.

and.

They had been in the tomb for so long a few days ago, and they had never smelled anything like it.

So, where does this smell come from?

Had the big yellow dog gone where they had never been?
Think so.

Wu Liang immediately came to the big yellow dog again, ready to examine it more carefully, to see if he could find some clues on it that could solve this question.

"Woo~~~Huh~~~"

Unexpectedly, just as Wu Liang stretched out his hand, the big yellow dog suddenly bared its teeth at him.

I don't know whether it is remembering the previous hatred or protecting food.

Wu Liang thinks it should be the latter, because as far as he knows, under normal circumstances, a dog's IQ cannot hold grudges, so...

"Oh?"

Wu Liang raised his hand and slapped Big Yellow Dog on the forehead heavily.

"Haw—haw—"

大黄狗发出两声痛叫，瞬间又战战兢兢的趴在了地上，弱弱的试探着伸了一下舌头舔了舔陶碗里的干粮糊糊，见吴良没有再抬手揍它，才又摇着The tail began to feast on it.

This time, when Wu Liang stretched out his hand again, it only twisted its body slightly, and obediently buried its head to eat its mush.

"This yellow ear really understands human nature. Knowing that the young master is worse than it, he dare not make mistakes in front of the young master."

Seeing this, Yang Wanli burst out laughing.

however.

"..."

The rest of the people just looked at Yang Wanli as if they were a dick, and no one answered the question, let alone laughed together.

"Uh……"

Only then did Yang Wanli finally realize that he seemed to have said something wrong, he hurriedly explained to Wu Liang with a smile on his face, "My lord, I didn't mean that, I mean that Huang Er is quite knowledgeable... No, no, I actually It means that the young master is a kind person that is hard to find in the world, so naturally he is not evil at all... Well, I am not wrong, but the young master is magnanimous, surely he will not take it to heart?"

"of course not."

Wu Liang turned his head and grinned, and said calmly, "Am I the kind of person who will put on shoes for you because of one or two words that don't please your ears? From today onwards, you will be relegated to slavery. If you work hard, you may have a bright future."

"My lord, I know I was wrong! I won't dare again! Please spare me this time, lord!"

Yang Wanli's face turned pale immediately, and he almost knelt down before Wu Liang.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

At this time, everyone burst into laughter.

"..."

Yang Wanli finally understood that Wu Liang was just joking with him, and stood aside with an embarrassed expression, scratching the back of his head to accompany the laugh.

"However, what Yang Wanli said is true. What we do is not only worse than yellow ears, but also worse than evil spirits. Only in this way can we move unimpeded in the dark, with no taboos and no evil."

Wu Liang smiled again and said, then turned around and continued to check the yellow ear.

Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing, and Yu Ji nodded in agreement.

They have experienced many things together before. They met many things scarier than evil ghosts in the tomb, and many living people more terrifying than evil ghosts outside the tomb.

If they hadn't been more vicious and vicious, they might not have been able to live until now.

However, Wu Liang's "evil" is not without a bottom line.

Don't look at Wu Liang always saying "I'm not a good person", but he has never shown his fangs to innocent people. On the contrary, no matter what the other party's identity or status, he can treat them equally.

Even if someone offends him, as long as his bottom line is not violated, he will usually leave a way for the other party to survive.

Just like the group of yellow turban thieves they met after coming out of the "Haihunhou Tomb", they all knew that although Wu Liang tied them up and took everything from them, when he was leaving, he still left them a special place. After getting off a cart of grain, they didn't kill them all.

But when facing the group of "yin soldiers" in Le'an country.

Wu Liang didn't leave any way for them to survive, and let them all freeze to death in the cold night, but after finding the place the next day, he sent someone to collect their bodies.

The same thing.

different approach.

This didn't make them feel that Wu Liang was moody and unpredictable.

in contrast.

They felt that they knew Wu Liang better, admired Wu Liang more, and were more willing to follow Wu Liang everywhere, as if Wu Liang was the only light in the darkness.

of course.

Regarding what Wu Liang did, they were not without any doubts in their hearts.

The biggest doubt is, what exactly is Wu Liang going to do?
They could see that Wu Liang was not very interested in the gold and jade objects in the tomb, but was quite enthusiastic about those things that ordinary people thought were of little value, and he never wanted to violently destroy the tomb, and even had to be careful before leaving Buried hidden mausoleum.

If it was said that Wu Liang was afraid of the tomb owner's revenge in the future, they would not believe it. If they were really afraid of this, they would have quit this business long ago.

What's more, in their eyes, Wu Liang is even worse than those "evil ghosts in the tomb". Even if the owner of the tomb really knows how to take revenge, he probably wouldn't dare to come to him...

In this regard.

Wu Liang didn't say anything, and they never thought about asking.

Because they knew that when Wu Liang thought it was time to let them know, he would naturally tell the truth...it might be a big game of chess.

……

Soon, Wu Liang found something on the big yellow dog's fur.

There were several small pieces of that thing, all of which were stained with the big yellow dog's fur like chewing gum.

The exterior of this thing is stained with a lot of dust, and the exterior has become dry and hard. If you just pinch it hard, you can still feel a little softness from the inside.

Wu Liang leaned closer and smelled it, and the gasoline-like smell just now came from this.

"What is it?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly, then pulled out the copper dagger at the back of his waist, cut off a small piece of it together with the fur of the big yellow dog, and then cut it in the middle.

The cross-section shows the original appearance of this thing.

This is a maroon gel-like thing, and the innermost part is still sticky, and some wires can be pulled out when it sticks to the copper dagger.

The smell just now is naturally stronger, even a little pungent.

Is this...

"Jingjing, give me a honey candle."

Wu Liang turned his head and said to Bai Jingjing.

Although it has been found out that the air quality in the tomb passage is not a big problem, but this time to go deeper, Wu Liang asked Bai Jingjing to light a candle and monitor the oxygen level at all times.

"Give."

Bai Jingjing came back to her senses, and quickly handed over the candle.

Wu Liang put the small piece of gelatinous substance on the ground, and then burned it with the flame of a candle.

"boom--"

The flame of the candle hadn't even completely touched the small piece of gel substance, the thing sucked the flame over like a forceful suction, and then it started burning crazily, and the flame rose nearly one meter high in an instant !
Fortunately, Wu Liang was on guard. When he handed the candle over, his body was pulled back quite a bit.

Otherwise, if you lie on it and watch it, you may lose your eyebrows, eyelashes and hair.

"Be careful, son!"

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli had never seen this kind of battle before. Seeing the sudden occurrence of this scene, the two rushed forward quickly, pulling Wu Liang behind.

"It's okay, don't make a fuss."

Wu Liang didn't panic, but just stared at the flame and continued to observe.

As the small piece of gel material burned, a few wisps of black smoke drifted out from above the flames, and these black smoke were mixed with a more pungent smell than before.

The smell is stinky and strong, but the concentration is not enough to irritate the eyes.

But Wu Liang smelled a more familiar smell from this smelly and strong smell - the smell of tractor exhaust!
When Wu Liang lived in the countryside when he was a child, he saw the most agricultural machinery. Many families have a walking tractor, and when the walking tractor is started, the smoke that will be emitted from the exhaust pipe is this smell.

Wu Liang knew that this gas was bad for the human body, but he didn't know if he was the only one who thought it smelled good, and even every time a tractor passed by, he would deliberately go up to smell it , and even received several reprimands from his parents for this matter.

Smell this more familiar smell.

Combined with the extremely flammable nature of this thing...

The answer is ready to come out - petroleum crude oil!
As far as Wu Liang knows, the gasoline and diesel used in cars are almost transparent liquids, which are one of the important resources in the industrial age, and the raw material for refining gasoline and diesel is petroleum crude oil.

Only petroleum crude oil will show such a state.

Depending on the proportion of colloid and asphaltene contained in petroleum crude oil, it can have different viscous states, and can show many colors, such as: red, golden, dark green, black, maroon and so on.

And the small piece of crude oil that Wu Liang discovered was brownish red.

As for the odor and black smoke produced during combustion, it is derived from impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen.

This discovery immediately made Wu Liang vigilant.

"call--"

Wu Liang immediately blew out the candle in his hand, turned his head and said to everyone, "From now on, no one is allowed to light an open flame, and the iron and weapons in their hands must be handled with care, not even a single spark can be seen!"

"Young master, what did you find out, why are you so nervous?"

Yu Ji asked curiously.

Everyone also looked over suspiciously.

Just now Wu Liang said that there is no need to make a fuss, but now he turned to himself and started to be surprised.

"There may be stone lacquer in this tomb. The stone lacquer is flammable and explosive. If we encounter sparks accidentally, we may be buried here. Do you understand?"

Wu Liang said with a serious expression.

As far as Wu Liang knew, the oil at this time was called "shiqi".

As for names such as "shizhi water", "Menghuoyou", "fireoil", and "petroleum", they gradually came into being after they were gradually used in the Tang and Song dynasties.

Although China did not know how to refine oil in ancient times, it was not too late to discover oil.

As early as the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the existence of oil was mentioned in the book "Book of Changes", which was recorded as: "There is fire in the marsh, and it goes up to the fire and down to the marsh."

Ban Gu, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, also wrote in "Hanshu": "There is flammable water in Gaonu County."

This is also talking about oil, and it also clearly records a place of origin of the oil, which is located in the Weishui River area of ​​Silibu and Gaonu County, and it is an open-pit oil field that is relatively easy to collect... This has raised a question for Wu Liang. Wake up, if it is useful in the future, maybe you can go and have a look.

But now is obviously not the time to think about it.

The point is that there is oil in this tomb, which has laid a huge hidden danger for this trip to explore the tomb.

Although it is not clear how much stock there is, if the owner of the tomb uses this thing to set up a trap and try to die with the tomb robbers, it is definitely a good choice, and I really have to guard against it!
"Stone paint?"

Even the key members of the Huren Army don't know much about this rare thing.

"You don't even understand what I said, but some alchemy techniques in the pre-Qin period recorded this strange object, which stated that this object can be used to start fire and support combustion, making alchemy twice the result with half the effort."

Yu Ji shook his head and said, "Young master is indeed well-informed, and he even recognizes this."

　Thanks to the boss of [Smoking Quit is Not an Addiction] for his support.

　　The child has a fever, and there is no update today, so don't wait.
