Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 405 Hibiscus tree! (4000)

"My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Ji finally wrinkled his old face and said thoughtfully.

"But it doesn't matter."

Wu Liang looked at him and said.

"The old man will be outspoken, son, don't blame the old man for saying these things that affect morale."

There was a heavy worry in Yu Ji's eyes, and he lowered his voice slightly and said, "When the old man saw the bronze strip drilled out of the rock, especially when he saw the bronze strip passing through the chest of the corpse, Unconsciously, I thought of the 'Yunyang' we saw together in Le'an country a few days ago, and I always felt that there were some similarities between the two."

Yunyang...

It was the strange tree that Wu Liang and others encountered when they were excavating Qi Ai Cemetery, which can disturb people's will.

At that time, Yang Wanli almost made "Yunyang" fertilizer, and shortly after Wu Liang and others entered the Qiai Cemetery, they were also affected by "Yunyang" and had nightmare-like hallucinations.

However, afterward, Yang Wanli got a blessing in disguise and mastered a rather powerful "bone shrinking skill", although up to now his "bone shrinking skill" has not played a serious role.

"You mean, this bronze bar may not be a dead thing as we know it?"

Wu Liang's brows suddenly became pimples.

"Exactly, as far as I know, there are many mysterious and mysterious things recorded in the pre-Qin "Shan Hai Jing", some of which are beyond the knowledge of the world, and many of them are dead things with spiritual energy. It's impossible to guard against."

Yu Ji said seriously.

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly, but thoughtful in his heart.

Of course, he knew the "Shan Hai Jing", and he was able to tell most of the wonderful things in it. Indeed, what Yu Ji said, "Shan Hai Jing" did record some dead things with aura.

But at the same time, Wu Liang can also be sure that there is absolutely nothing in the "Shan Hai Jing" that is similar to the bronze strip in front of him...

Although not, Yu Ji's words were not useless, at least it opened up a new way of thinking for Wu Liang.

Nothing is absolute, what if?
After all, there are countless strange books like "Shan Hai Jing" in the history of the Chinese Dynasty, and Wu Liang can be sure that such ancient books discovered by archeology in later generations are only the tip of the iceberg that survived the 5000-year civilization of the Chinese Dynasty. There will only be more ancient books destroyed or lost due to various reasons.

Even if the ancient books are like this, the same is true for those mysterious and wonderful things.

Also.

At the same time, Wu Liang thought of a Japanese horror comic that he had read in his previous life.

The horror cartoon described a "living village". The underground of the village is covered with thick blood vessels, and the villagers in the village have a symbiotic relationship with the village.

Every once in a while, the pores of the villagers' bodies will ooze blood to irrigate the land of the village, and the water from the wells in the village can replenish the oozing blood for the villagers, thus forming a closed loop of supply and demand balance , Live in peace for hundreds of years.

The events depicted in this horror comic are, of course, made up.

But it can also provide Wu Liang with an idea.

From ancient times to the present, there has been a saying in China called "everything has animism".

Thinking about it carefully, this statement is obviously contradictory to the way people are used to dividing everything in the world into "living" and "dead"...

So is it possible that this mountain is "alive"?
And these bronze strips are actually the "vessels" or "roots" in the body of this mountain?

"..."

Wu Liang shook his head.

This idea is so absurd that Wu Liang himself thought it was absurd. He thought that he might have such an idea because of the influence of Yu Ji or the Japanese manga.

However, he did not completely rule out this idea.

Now he himself is looking for and deciphering things that are unknown to the world, and he has experienced too many mysterious things after traveling, so that his ability to accept unknown things has already improved a lot.

As a self-disciplined scientific researcher, he will not easily abandon any speculation without definite evidence, and at most he has reservations.

"Young master nods his head sometimes, shakes his head sometimes, what is the intention?"

Seeing Wu Liang's strange body movements, Yu Ji couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about it, but unfortunately I didn't think about anything useful."

Wu Liang shook his head and smiled, and said, "But what the old gentleman said is not completely unreasonable, everyone should be more careful next time, and don't take it lightly."

While talking, Wu Liang had already turned around and came to the coffin unloaded by Dian Wei and Yang Wanli, and lowered his body to carefully examine the mummy inside.

The focus is on the tailbone of the mummy, which is an important basis for confirming Wu Liang's previous guess.

After turning the mummy so carefully.

Wu Liang suddenly discovered that the end of the tailbone of this mummy was indeed a bit strange from that of ordinary humans.

Its tailbone is indeed slightly longer, about ten centimeters longer than that of ordinary humans. If it is restored through brain supplementation, it can indeed be judged as a short tail that has not completely degenerated.

"Is it really the legendary Goki man?!"

Wu Liang suddenly became excited.

Neither the ancient books of the Celestial Dynasty nor the archaeological research of various remains and fossils have ever found a human race with such special physical signs. Therefore, the archaeological world of later generations has always doubted the authenticity of the Goki people appearing in "The Great War".

Some experts even speculate that the Goki people do not exist at all, or that the Goki people are actually an ordinary race, because "The Great Battle of Qiang and Ge" is an epic circulated among the Qiang people, so the Qiang people were compiling this epic. Sometimes, it is inevitable that some national emotional factors are mixed in, so the enemy is vilified to a certain extent, so this strange-looking Goki race appeared.

But now I see this corpse.

Especially seeing this section of tailbone that is obviously longer than ordinary humans, combined with the unique features of facial features and body shape, there are various signs that the person buried in this mountain is very likely to be the legendary Goki people.

It's just that for some reason, this mountain and these caves have not been discovered by later generations.

In fact, Wu Liang is not sure whether this mountain mausoleum still exists in later generations.

Because he had never been to Gansu in his previous life, let alone Guazhou in Jiuquan, so there is really no way to determine what this place will eventually look like in later generations.

Besides.

After confirming that the person buried here was the legendary Goki man, another question popped up in Wu Liang's mind.

Although the Goki people are shorter in stature.

But after seeing the bronze weapons in the pits outside, Wu Liang already had a relatively clear understanding of their combat effectiveness, so he didn't quite understand.

The Goki people are so powerful, and they also have bronze casting technology that may have been ahead of the Central Plains. Why did they end up extinct?

As far as Wu Liang knew, although the fighting power of the ancient Qiang people was not weak, it was absolutely impossible for them to be stronger than the Goki people.

Even among the races that can be traced in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, there is no one more powerful than the Goki people... Of course, except for such a talented alien like Dian Wei, he is a rare minority at the phenomenon level, and he must not be able to compete with the whole people. Lux's Goki people on par.

So, how exactly did the Goki people disappear?

Wu Liang would certainly not easily believe the story in "The Great War of the Qiang Ge", which blamed the extinction of the Goki people on the intervention of the gods believed by the Qiang people.

This statement did not convince Wu Liang.

……

After checking the situation here, Wu Liang confirmed something, but more doubts arose in his mind.

With these questions in mind, Wu Liang did not easily damage the bronze bar.

After carefully inspecting the mummy and the coffin it was in, and not finding any other noteworthy places or funerary objects, Wu Liang chose to lead the crowd to go deeper.

And the more you go deeper into the cave.

The more bronze strips drilled out of the coffin that Wu Liang and others encountered, of course, more and more were drilled out of the rock wall, and the lengths were different, and the thickness was not exactly the same.

The more this is the case, the more people are inclined to Ji's previous statement.

These bronze strips really don't look like man-made things, but more like products that appear in a state of free growth, which makes people suspicious.

Naturally, these bronze strips are also in good condition, golden in color.

Wu Liang also became more and more suspicious.

He gradually thought of something in the human body—nails, hair, teeth.

Although these things grow out of the human body, they are also defined as "dead things" in a broad sense, because when people's nails, hair and teeth are trimmed, as long as they don't hurt the flesh, they usually don't feel it. The slightest pain.

But one fact is indisputable.

When such "dead things" grow on the human body, they are "alive", and as long as the person is still alive, they will not "die", the nails will be very resilient, the hair will be shiny and silky, and the teeth will be firm. Will be very strong and strong.

But if these things leave the human body.

Even after just one night, the cut nails will become dry and brittle, and they will break when they are folded.

After a period of time, the cut hair will also be yellow and dry, and it will break when pulled.

And the same is true for the extracted teeth, they only need to be put on for a period of time, and they will become brittle and crispy, and they will easily shatter, which is not the same thing as the teeth that grow in the mouth.

and so.

Wu Liang has begun to doubt the reason why these bronze strips can be intact. Perhaps it is because they are all "alive", but whether they are "alive" like nails, hair and teeth, or are they "alive" in another way? Alive", that is not known.

The more there are such speculations.

Wu Liangyue did not dare to damage these bronze strips lightly. Even if they really needed to be removed for research, it would be most appropriate when they were about to leave the cave. Otherwise, if "something" was alarmed by this, their situation would be miserable .

……

In this way, it took about another quarter of an hour in this environment.

"My lord, I'm going to walk out of the cave any further, the things in front...you should come and see it yourself."

Dian Wei, who was walking in the front, finally stopped, turned around and said to Wu Liang.

"..."

Before Dian Wei finished speaking, Wu Liang had already taken two steps forward and looked around.

Immediately afterwards, his mouth opened slightly unconsciously, his eyes widened a lot, and his face was even more shocked.

At this moment, his eyes were already full of golden color.

He saw that in the hollow mountain in front of him, there were two huge bronze pillars with a diameter of more than two meters intertwined and erected.

On the two bronze pillars, there are many that are slightly thinner but branched out.

Some of the slightly thicker forks seem to be affected by gravity and hang down, while some forks extend and penetrate into the mountain, as if weaving a huge criss-crossing bronze spider web.

These bronzes are also golden in color as before, and even the surface looks smoother. Under the dim light of the Suihou beads, they are faintly glaring.

But here, it is not impossible to move forward.

Although there was no longer a cave in front of Wu Liang, there was a stone bridge about two meters wide. The stone bridge extended to the opposite rock wall, where there was also a cave opposite to the cave where Wu Liang and others were.

It's just that this stone bridge looks very insecure.

Because there is no support or suspension point above and below it, it is a stone bridge leading straight to the opposite side. The thickness of the bridge body seems to be only about half a meter, and the whole body is composed of rocks that are consistent with the mountain...

If there is no special reinforcement material inside the stone bridge, it is obviously a dangerous building that does not conform to extreme architectural engineering and is very unstable.

and so.

Wu Liang was also not sure whether he wanted to go up and take a closer look at the magnificent and astonishing bronze creation in front of him...

And just when he couldn't make up his mind.

"You talented brother, look quickly, there is a big black bird over there!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly pointed to a drooping bronze fork slightly below the opposite side and said.

Wu Liang and others looked in the direction Zhuge Liang pointed, and they saw a giant black bird squatting on the bronze fork.

The size of this bird is already comparable to that of the later ostrich, but the legs are not as long as the ostrich, and the neck is also not as long as the ostrich, but the head and beak are much larger than the ostrich.

It is more like a flying bird than a chocobo like an ostrich.

But it was clearly not a live bird.

Although it is black all over, its image is composed of many thick and deep carved lines, and even some parts have been hollowed out more complicatedly to make it appear more three-dimensional and realistic.

"Golden Crow!"

Yu Ji soon cried out excitedly, his old eyes gleaming with excitement, "If this bird is a golden crow, then these two bronze pillars intertwined and supporting each other should be the sacred tree that connects the three worlds of man, god and the underworld—the hibiscus tree !"
