Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 402: No Rotten Corpse (4000)

obviously.

There are things that Wu Liang is interested in hidden in this mountain, and it is definitely not just an ordinary active volcano.

In fact, all kinds of signs have already appeared before, the gravel road paved by hand, the bronze weapons in the pit, these are the traces of human civilization activities.

And these "portraits" that suddenly appeared.

It should be that there was a vibration inside the mountain just now, and the gas was accidentally brought out of the cave when the gas was erupted. As for what it is, I am afraid that it needs further investigation.

But with the current situation.

In order to prevent being affected by the harmful gas that erupted, Wu Liang did not intend to go to investigate immediately.

"Let's cross the river first, and we'll talk about it when our people arrive."

Wu Liang was still looking eagerly at those "portraits", but he said this to Dian Wei.

"promise."

Dian Wei responded and continued rowing.

After a moment.

The two returned to the other side of the river, dragged the boat to the shore, lit a fire and boiled some fresh water they brought with them, and ate some dry food in the hot water to satisfy their hunger, while waiting for the support of the Huan army.

When the dry food was finished, the Huan army just arrived.

"Young master, is what Kabul said true?"

As soon as he saw Wu Liang, Yu Ji came out with a face of shock, and asked, "Did you really make a mountain mausoleum rise from the lake just now?"

"It's not me who makes a mountain mausoleum rise from the ground, but the secret method recorded in ancient books."

Wu Liang smiled modestly.

"Brother Youcai, is that the mountain on the other side of the river?"

Zhuge Liang also came over, his face full of surprise, and he pointed to the cave-filled mountain on the other side of the river and asked.

At this moment, there are still many places on the mountain covered with silt, green moss and water plants, and these things have not dried out, so they can be distinguished at a glance.

"good."

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

"Brother talented, this is your fault."

Zhuge Liang suddenly wrinkled his face again, and muttered with some depression and complaints, "You didn't take me with you for such a miraculous thing, which made me miss the opportunity to witness this spectacular scene with my own eyes. Have you ever thought about it? This incident may become a lifelong regret for me.”

"Boy Zhuge is right. I'm getting old, and I've seen this extraordinary scene very rarely, so I can't help but feel sad and feel a dull pain in my chest."

Yu Ji also wrinkled his old face, covered his chest and sighed in pain.

"Okay, okay, this happened suddenly, I didn't mean not to take you with me, next time I will definitely do it."

Seeing that the old and the young dared to act in front of him, Wu Liang immediately kicked Zhuge Liang's ass, and then fooled around a few words, then turned around and said to Yang Wanli who came with him, "Yang Wanli, take us Many people have camped on the ancient Great Wall, we may have to stay here for a while to find out the situation of this place before continuing westward.”

"No! Everyone follow me."

Yang Wanli was also unambiguous, and immediately waved to his soldiers, leading them to the ancient Great Wall on the top of the mountain behind him.

"Yes, sir."

Wu Liang looked at Yu Ji again, and said seriously, "I think the terrain here is a bit unusual, and I need to trouble you to observe the geomantic omen of this place with the help of geomantic omen. We can also have some considerations in advance."

"You don't need to remind me, the old man has already seen it when I came down from the mountain."

On the other hand, Yu Ji smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, "To tell you the truth, sir, the old man sees the ups and downs of the mountains here, the twists and turns, the star peaks are upright, the situation is majestic, and there is a potential of a real dragon. It seems that it should be a It is a treasure land of powerful dragons with great wealth and fame, but it is a pity that it has become a dead dragon now."

"Dead dragon?"

Wu Liang was slightly taken aback.

Although he doesn't know Fengshui, he has heard some of the dragon's veins in Fengshui. Whether it is Fengshui or not, people in later generations will all recognize Kunlun Mountain as the well-deserved "ancestor of ten thousand mountains and the source of dragon veins" .

In addition to Kunlun Mountain, it is said that there are still many dragon veins in the world.

Moreover, the pattern and good or bad luck of various dragon veins are different. Some dragon veins are geomantic treasures where wind and water are stored and rich and noble, but some are ominous places where offspring and grandchildren are cut off, and there are many evil spirits. Therefore, dragon veins also have good fortune. bad points.

Therefore, just listening to the literal meaning, Wu Liang already had a rough guess about Ji's remarks.

"Qianglong" must be a treasure land of geomantic omen.

And "Dead Dragon" is probably an ominous place.

"Exactly."

Yu Ji nodded, pointing to the mountain mausoleum full of caves on the opposite bank, he explained carefully, "My lord, please look, the peaks and peaks of this mountain mausoleum are blurry now, the ups and downs are not too lifeless, and the dragon's body is thick and bloated, and it looks like Like a fish out of water, like a tree without branches and leaves, and like flowing with the water, like a dead loach and a dead eel, showing a lifeless appearance. This is the most fierce pattern in the dragon veins, and it cannot be fused with acupuncture points. Even if there are physical acupuncture points , that must be false, if someone is accidentally buried in it, I am afraid that sooner or later, like this dead dragon, the descendants will be cut off."

"..."

Wu Liang was dumbfounded.

He could swear that he was really attentively listening to Yu Ji's words, and following Yu Ji's instructions to observe the shape and trend of the mountain, but he couldn't see anything.

But he understood it, this is a fierce dragon vein, not suitable for burial.

"but……"

Yu Ji then continued, "As the old man said just now, this dead dragon was supposed to be a strong dragon. It was only after being cut off deliberately that it gradually lost its vitality and finally turned into a dead dragon."

"But it was cut off by the ancient Great Wall?"

Wu Liang immediately asked subconsciously.

Before that, he suspected that the ancient Great Wall was not only a fortification, but also had other meanings, but it was not known to the world. Now that Yu Ji said so, Wu Liang immediately thought of this.

"No and no."

But Yu Ji shook his head again, and said in a low tone, "Young Master, you don't know something. To cut off a dragon's veins, especially to turn a strong dragon into a dead dragon, this is by no means a one-time thing. When the dragon's veins are cut After it is cut off, its dragon energy will not disappear immediately, and the dragon veins will not die immediately. This process will take thousands of years at the shortest, and this ancient Great Wall... is still too young after all, and there is absolutely no way the two are related. .”

"Oh……"

Wu Liang digested Yu Ji's words, and then asked unwillingly, "So the ancient Great Wall has no other special functions?"

"My lord, forgive me, this old man really can't tell."

Yu Ji shook his head helplessly, "The ancient Great Wall is more than thousands of miles away. Except for the immortals in the sky, no one can overlook the whole picture of the ancient Great Wall. If they can't see the overall situation, who can tell whether the ancient Great Wall has other functions?"

"But the ancient Great Wall was built by the world after all."

Wu Liang continued.

And in later generations, human beings already have the ability to overlook the entire Great Wall, but still no one can say something different. Is it because the ancient Great Wall that has survived to later generations is no longer the original appearance?

"However, some mysteries are only known to a very small number of people who know the world. Obviously, this old man is not such a person, but this old man thinks that the young master is the person who is most likely to touch these mysteries."

There was anticipation in Yu Ji's eyes. His words were obviously different from the usual compliments, but the real thoughts in his heart.

"The old gentleman is absurd..."

Wu Liang nodded thoughtfully.

While talking.

"Wu Youcai, have you ever heard some whispers?"

Bai Jingjing looked at the mountain on the other side of the river again, and asked with a serious expression.

"Crying? Now?"

Wu Liang was taken aback for another moment, then turned around and asked the people around him, "I didn't hear anything, can you hear anything?"

"..."

Everyone shook their heads.

"What kind of crooning, you can tell me in detail."

This did not affect Wu Liang's confidence in Bai Jingjing's hearing, and continued.

"I can't describe it in detail..."

Bai Jingjing closed her eyes slightly, tilted her head to the side and listened more intently for a moment, then tried to describe, "This sound is intermittent, it sounds like many people are singing in a low voice, or many people are singing It made dull roars and screams, very messy and empty."

"Could it be the wind noise from the cave?"

Wu Liang speculated.

"Probably not."

Bai Jingjing shook her head, "If it's the wind, I should be able to hear it. I remember that when I was in the Valley of No Return, I could hear the desolate sound of the wind coming out of the valley every night. The sound of the wind made people who didn't know it frightened. , but I’m used to it.”

The Valley of No Return is the place where Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing met for the first time.

At that time, Wu Liang was a tomb robber, while Bai Jingjing was the tomb keeper of Guangchuan King Liu Qu's tomb.

At night, the valley will indeed emit some bleak sounds like women weeping and singing, and it sounds really penetrating.

"In this case, this mountain mausoleum is probably even more difficult..."

After listening to Bai Jingjing's words, Wu Liang looked at the mountain mausoleum full of caves on the other side of the river, a chill subconsciously rose in his heart, and at the same time, he was even more ready to move.

……

When the soldiers of the Liren Army built the simple camp.

The white smoke from the cave in the mountain has long since disappeared, and everything has returned to calm, even the "whispering" that only Bai Jingjing could hear has completely disappeared.

So Wu Liang ordered the soldiers of the Tuan army to carry down the other small wooden boats at the foot of the ancient Great Wall.

Then the backbone of the Huan army put on gas masks together, and took two big roosters who would definitely go with the army every time to cross the river to the opposite bank.

By the time we reached the other side, the smell of rotten eggs had disappeared.

This can at least show that the harmful gas in the nearby air has dissipated pretty well, so Wu Liang asked other soldiers of the Tuan army to cross the river, and then brought them to the pit that Dian Wei had briefly investigated before. , Teach them to remove the silt in the pit, and clean out all the things below.

And he and the backbone of the Huan army went directly to the mountain to check the "portraits" that fell out of the cave.

Such a group came to the nearest "portrait".

Wu Liang lowered his body and inspected it carefully, and he was basically sure that this "portrait" should be the expected coffin.

This is a kind of coffin made of unknown wood. Because of the age, the surface of the coffin has turned dark gray, but there are no traces of water bubbles because the mountain was originally located at the bottom of the lake. On the contrary, it looks very Dry, put your hands on it and even stick the same dry dust.

In addition, this coffin was nailed with thick bronze nails.

There is one on the top of the head, two on the left and right sides, and two on the footsteps, making a total of seven.

Seven again...

The number of stone carvings under the mountain is also seven.

As far as Wu Liang knows, the ancient Qiang people worshiped the number "seven" in addition to worshiping the sun, but they don't know whether it has any relationship with the number of these stone carvings and coffin nails.

Also.

Wu Liang also deliberately checked the back of the coffin, but he did not find any engravings or carvings related to the Goki people's symbolic tail, and there was nothing on the coffin except for the strange face similar to the Sanxingdui mask. Other engravings.

"Dian Wei, prepare to open the coffin."

Wu Liang finally stopped hesitating, turned around and said to the crowd, "Yang Wanli also came to help, first remove the bronze nails from the coffin one by one, and Dian Wei will lift the coffin lid, and the others should stay as far away as possible."

"promise!"

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli agreed, and immediately stepped forward to join forces with Wu Liang.

Their sappers shoveled the gap where prying nails were already set, and they were naturally handy in doing this kind of thing, and they pulled out the rusty bronze nails in a short while.

"Wei is about to open."

Dian Wei clasped the gap in the coffin lid, turned around and confirmed to Wu Liang.

"Wow!"

Wu Liang took advantage of the opportunity to open the vajra umbrella, and stood beside Dianwei to guard it, so that Dianwei could hide behind the umbrella immediately after opening the coffin, so that he could avoid most of the traps of the mechanism.

"open!"

After finishing all this, Wu Liang let out a soft drink.

"Hey--"

Dian Wei exerted his strength suddenly, and only heard a "bang", the coffin lid was overturned on the ground.

There was no movement from inside the coffin, Wu Liang poked his head out from behind the umbrella and looked inside...

It doesn't matter.

What lay inside was a lifelike and incorruptible corpse.

Although the eyes of this corpse were tightly closed, the flesh on its body was intact, and even a trace of blood could be seen on its face, as if it had just died, or just fell asleep!
As for the shape of the corpse.

They are actually the same as the seven stone sculptures at the foot of the mountain, with the same extremely strong physique, protruding eye sockets, rough eyebrows, prominent cheekbones, wide mouth and big and long ears.

Besides.

There are also two holes in the earlobe below the ear, and two heavy gold rings are hung.

Judging from the various characteristics, this should be a male corpse, and the word "male" is more rigorous than "male", because Wu Liang is not sure about the species of this corpse.

Wu Liang moved closer, wanting to see if the corpse had a tail...

at this time.

Wu Liang suddenly discovered that the flesh on the corpse was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin began to crack and curl extremely quickly!
