Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 443 Parallel space? (4000)

Indeed, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhuge Liang just turned his head in the process of expressing his dissatisfaction with Wu Liang, and when he turned his head again, Prince Chamu and others were no longer in his sight.

The most important thing is that the desert where they are now is quite flat, not even a larger sand dune can be found, and the terrain where Wu Liang and others are now is slightly higher, so Prince Chamu and others are not at all right now. He didn't have the conditions to hide and avoid the sight of Wu Liang and others.

"..."

Everyone also has doubts on their faces.

This is not one person, but more than a dozen big living people. How did they disappear?

"Let's go and have a look."

Wu Liang immediately made a decision.

This is not to worry about the safety of Prince Chamu and others. We are all adults. Since we dare to follow, we must be responsible for our personal safety.

Besides, even if something happened to Prince Chamu, Wu Liang was not afraid at all.

Even King Shanshan's life is in his hands, so are you afraid that he will be implicated in this incident afterwards?

Not only was he not afraid, Wu Liang didn't even feel guilty at all, and he didn't bring Prince Chamu out, but Prince Chamu himself followed him.

He mainly wanted to figure out what was going on.

After all, Prince Chamu told such a weird rumor before, and that rumor was related to the desert under his feet. Although there were many things that could not be explained, Wu Liang could only believe it or not. No, because since he traveled through, he has seen many unreasonable things.

In this way, Wu Liang and his party took another quarter of an hour to return and came to the place where Prince Chamu and others had just disappeared.

The strong wind hadn't blown yet, and there were relatively clear horseshoe prints in the soft and flat desert at this moment.

Prince Chamu and his party consisted of a total of twelve people. In addition to riding horses, they also brought two carriages, which also carried some supplies. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for these guys to follow Wu Liang and the others for three full days.

Because of the large number of people, the horseshoe prints on the ground were a bit messy, but it could still be judged that they did not change direction to go to other places.

Especially the ruts left by the carriages.

The carriage following the team will leave two extremely clear parallel lines that will not be damaged. If there is a U-turn or change of direction, it must be clear at a glance.

However, this is not the case.

In other words, before Prince Chamu and his party disappeared, they were still marching in the direction of Wu Liang and the others.

then.

All traces stopped abruptly where Wu Liang and others saw them before!
Although the horseshoe prints on the ground looked a little messier than the ruts, they were not significantly different from the previous ones. In other words, before Prince Chamu and the others disappeared inexplicably, nothing should have caused them to In panic, they did not make any obvious resistance or escape.

Just in this unaware situation.

They seemed to be evaporated in an instant and disappeared into this desert.

"This... Young Master, could it be that the rumors about that ancient city are true?"

Yu Ji's old face wrinkled habitually, and asked nervously.

“How come you see?”

Wu Liang also had some guesses in his heart, but he also wanted to hear other people's opinions first, which might provide new ideas, because he was still a little puzzled about some details.

"Without him, this old man is just guessing based on the rumors about that ancient city."

Yu Ji shook his head again, frowned and said, "The old man thought that in the rumors, the caravan inexplicably entered an ancient city, and then the ancient city disappeared inexplicably when it left. From this point of view, the ancient city seems to be the same A strange world that coexists with a desert, but is isolated from this desert.”

"So once someone accidentally steps into that ancient city, they will leave this desert."

"And if you leave that ancient city, you will return to this desert."

"That's why the caravan experienced such a mysterious and mysterious adventure. As for the reason behind it, the old man couldn't figure it out for a while, but now Prince Chamu and others have disappeared inexplicably before our eyes. The dead body is not seen, it is connected with the rumored matter, I am afraid that there is some inevitable connection between the two, the young master needs to be more careful, it is best not to approach this place easily, otherwise we may even be killed. It will also disappear inexplicably like Prince Chamu and others, and I don't know if I can get out by then."

After hearing these words, Yang Wanli curled his lips in disdain, and said habitually: "Old boy, there is no difference between you saying so much and not saying it. Name ten versions, can you say something useful to the young master?"

But at this moment.

Wu Liang, on the other hand, already had a look of surprise on his face, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

Parallel space?

The old boy of this era should not know the concept of "parallel space", but the sentence "The ancient city seems to be a strange world that coexists with this desert, but is isolated from this desert" is true. The basic concept of "parallel world" has been proposed.

Of course, it only involves the concept of "space", and does not expand and extend to deeper time, matter, energy and other directions.

However, for people in this era, it is quite rare to be able to have such cognition and conjecture.

And Yu Ji's words did provide Wu Liang with a direction that he had never considered before.

Because even in later generations, "parallel space" is just a concept, a kind of assumption, which usually only appears in film and television works and literary works, and no one has ever been able to prove the real existence of "parallel space".

In fact, such concepts and assumptions are not entirely the product of later generations.

As early as the 5th century BC, the ancient Greek philosopher "Democritus" had already proposed the concept of "innumerable worlds".

In the 4th century BC, the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus put forward the idea of ​​the diversity of the world.

In the 1st century BC, the philosopher of the Roman Republic "Lucretius" even pointed out on the basis of "Epicurus" that there are "other worlds" besides our "visible world". , possibly inhabited by "other races of men and beasts."

In ancient China, it was not without similar concepts and assumptions.

Although it is borrowed from Buddhism, there are also many Chinese ancients who believe in the sayings of "big thousand worlds", "middle thousand worlds" and "small thousand worlds", thinking: "A thousand worlds are gathered into a small thousand worlds; A thousand small thousand worlds gather into a middle thousand world, and a thousand middle thousand worlds gather into a great thousand world."

And these worlds exist together but are isolated. People in different worlds cannot perceive each other, cannot communicate with each other, and are completely unaware of the existence of other worlds.

And this concept is still very prosperous in the fairy tale novels of later generations.

and so……

If you regard the rumored ancient city as a small "parallel world" and use the concept of "parallel world" to explain the inexplicable disappearance of Prince Chamu and others, it can explain many of the details.

But do "parallel worlds" really exist?

Wu Liang put a big question mark in his heart.

Based on his own personal experience, he has now accepted the fact that there are all kinds of evil visions in this world, but until he gets sufficient evidence, he is still not easy to accept the existence of "parallel spaces", because The two are not the same concept at all.

But now the fact that Prince Chamu and others mysteriously disappeared before his eyes made him unable to explain.

then.

After Wu Liang pondered for a while, he turned his head and said to the people in the Tuan army: "Dian Wei, Yang Wanli, you and I should check the vicinity and pay attention to whether there are quicksands, pits and other imperceptible dangers in this place."

This is one of the factors that can cause this to happen, especially the dreaded quicksand.

If Prince Chamu and his party accidentally entered the quicksand area, they would indeed be able to disappear mysteriously under the noses of Wu Liang and the others without leaving any traces...

It's just that if they encountered quicksand, it would take a process to completely engulf Prince Chamu and his party.

And this process should not be so fast, Prince Chamu and his party also had the opportunity to call for help, so they shouldn't disappear so quietly.

In short.

Let's investigate first and then talk. How to guess now is just on paper.

……

But the result of the investigation is... There is no so-called quicksand, and there is no so-called trap.

The place with a radius of [-] meters around here is a very ordinary desert. Wu Liang and others carefully explored it, but found nothing unusual at all.

Prince Chamu and his party quietly disappeared in front of Wu Liang and the others in such an ordinary desert.

"My lord, it's just a few big living people who just disappeared for no apparent reason. From this point of view, I'm afraid this desert is really as rumored, and it's more dangerous than imagined..."

Yu Ji obviously retreated again in his heart, but this time he didn't say it clearly, but frowned and whispered to Wu Liang.

"Assumption, I mean assuming that the rumored ancient city really existed."

Wu Liang still said thoughtfully, "I guess people who pass by here want to enter it, or it can be said that they disappeared mysteriously like Prince Chamu and his party. I am afraid that they also need an unknown opportunity to enter. The people in it may not be able to come out alive like the rumored caravan, otherwise there may not be only one rumor..."

"Brother Youcai means that Prince Chamu and his party may have triggered an opportunity that we did not trigger?"

Zhuge Liang followed Wu Liang's meaning and analyzed, "So Prince Chamu and his party mysteriously disappeared here, and even if we stood at the place where they disappeared, there was no way to enter the rumored ancient city, and there was no way to find Chamu. The prince and the others? It’s not impossible, if it’s an ordinary natural or man-made disaster, as long as you can find the location of the accident, you won’t be able to find any clues.”

"What kind of opportunity do you think it will be?"

Bai Jingjing then asked curiously.

"I don't know, I don't know, it's hard to say."

Wu Liang repeatedly denied, "Maybe we missed this opportunity. This ancient city has already been closed. It's not sure when it will be opened next time. It's hard to say whether it will be the same opportunity..."

"What does that son mean?"

Yu Ji asked eagerly.

"Make a mark here first, Yang Wanli, you return to Jiani City immediately, report what we have seen and heard about Prince Chamu to King Shanshan, and ask him to send someone here to find Prince Chamu's identity." trace."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "The rest of us will go to the Peacock River with me to camp, and use the Peacock River as the base point to explore this desert, try not to act separately."

The goal of Wu Liang's trip was not the rumored ancient city, but the ancient tomb of the sun discovered by the archaeological world in later generations.

Now that this strange thing happened, no matter whether the rumored ancient city actually existed or not, Wu Liang's goal also changed accordingly, so he had to put the ancient city and the tomb of the sun together for investigation.

Of course, the center of gravity is still the Tomb of the Sun, not this ancient city that doesn't know whether it exists or not.

In fact, Wu Liang didn't want King Shanshan to get involved.

But now that the personal safety of Prince Chamu is involved, although Wu Liang is not afraid that the King of Shanshan will turn against him because of this, he will try his best to avoid suspicion. It is always right to inform the King of Shanshan as soon as possible. While searching for Prince Chamu, he can also help him find the Sun Tomb, which is not harmful to him.

"promise!"

Yang Wanli responded, and immediately got on his horse and walked in the direction of Jiani City.

Wu Liang ordered Dianwei to stick a sapper shovel in place, and also tied a large piece of sackcloth to the shovel to make the mark more obvious.

That's it.

Wu Liang glanced at the map, and finally led the rest of the people to the nearest Kongque River.

And not long after Wu Liang and the others left.

The abruptly stopped footsteps of Prince Chamu and his party suddenly began to stretch forward, and the ruts followed closely behind, and they were moving at a very fast speed.

But they could only see these traces extending forward continuously, and there were no figures of Prince Chamu and his party.

It was as if Prince Chamu and his party had disappeared.

After these traces extended forward for a distance of about a hundred meters, they stopped for some reason.

at this time.

"call--"

A not-so-big hot wind blows through the desert, and a layer of shallow yellow sand gently flips with the hot wind like tiny waves in the water.

In the blink of an eye, these new footprints and ruts disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.

And even more surprising.

The footprints and ruts that Wu Liang and others saw before were not affected in any way, and they were still clearly and completely preserved...
