Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 498 New call to action (4000)

But these are only guesses after all.

No one can be sure that the "兕" recorded in "Shan Hai Jing" is a rhinoceros, not to mention that rhinoceros is not a creature that only appeared after human civilization.

It is reported that as early as 3400 million years ago in the Oligocene Epoch, there was a mammal named "Giant Rhinoceros" on the earth. The body size can reach up to 9 meters, and the total length can be as large as 12 meters. It is a real behemoth, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an ancient mythical beast.

What Wu Liang is more concerned about at the moment is whether there are some similarities between the "Si Dan" that is also taken from the gallbladder and the "Bezoar" he knows.

After all, the two are not only similar in appearance, but also in medicinal properties.

"Bezoar" also has an excellent detoxification effect, and even has miraculous effects on certain diseases, and poisoning will also occur after overdose, and severe cases will directly die.

It's just that the effect of "Xi Dan" is obviously stronger, and it can cure the evil and poisonous miasma in the world. If this statement is true, this thing is definitely not trivial.

more importantly.

Prince Chamu can see the magic weapon and the strange aura emanating from people who possess Taoism from the "Sidan". This is enough to show that the "Sidan" is definitely not an ordinary "bezoar", even if it is similar, It should also be the "bezoar" of the supreme upgrade VIP version, the two are not the same at all.

Think so.

Wu Liang actually pulled out the copper dagger directly from the back of his waist, and then used the blade to scrape gently on the rough surface of "Xi Dan" a few times, and soon scraped out some fine powder.

"Mr. Bai, please order someone to fetch me a wine glass."

After finishing all this, Wu Liang turned his head and said to Bai Qiru.

"General Wu, wait a moment."

Bai Qiru cupped his hands and said.

Now the thieves are all captured by the Yuancheng defenders, and no one believes that there is a tomb hidden in the Valley of No Return. On the contrary, both Zhai Gu and Hao Meng's attention have shifted to "Tai Sui". The crisis of the Bai family was resolved smoothly, and no one would bother them for many years. Bai Qiru and the Bai family were very grateful to Wu Liang, so any request of Wu Liang would be satisfied without hesitation.

After a while, a wine glass was placed in front of him.

Wu Liang carefully poured a little powder scraped from the top of "Xi Dan" into the wine glass, then added a little water and shook it gently.

In the blink of an eye, the powder of "Xi Dan" was mixed with clear water, turning into a small half cup of yellowish-brown liquid.

Then Wu Liang dipped the tip of the copper dagger in a little liquid, and applied the liquid on the nails of his left and right middle fingers, stayed like this for a few breaths, and then asked Bai Qiru to order someone to open a basin of clean water to wash his hands.

It turned out that the nails had indeed been dyed a smoky yellow color, which couldn't be washed off no matter how much they were washed...

"It seems that this thing is indeed similar to 'Bezoar', but it is more advanced than 'Bezoar'."

Wu Liang already had a judgment in his mind.

The method he used just now is the method used by ancient Chinese medicine to identify "bezoar". Only real "bezoar" can dye nails yellow so easily. This phenomenon is called "hanging nails".

In fact, even in later generations, natural "bezoar" is an extremely precious medicinal material.

Because the gallbladder of a cow has a very low probability of giving birth to stones, and even a small one may not be obtained by slaughtering thousands of cows, the value of the same gram of "bezoar" is much higher than that of gold.

And the high-quality and cheap Niuhuang pharmaceuticals that are often used in people's lives in later generations, such as Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets.

The bezoar used in these medicines is actually just the artificial bezoar cultivated artificially. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the formula list of these medicines. The word “artificial” is definitely added in front of the bezoar.

Even so, the value of artificial bezoar is still comparable to gold.

"Mr. Bai, but it's disrespectful. I won't give in to you about this."

After preliminarily judging the essence of the "Si Dan", Wu Liang decisively covered the wooden box containing the "Si Dan", and then smiled at Bai Qiru with a shy face, and unceremoniously stuffed the wooden box into the box. in the arms.

"General Wu, please go ahead."

Since Bai Qiru showed Wu Liang the "Si Dan" to watch, he was ready to go and never return, but he also had his own thoughts, and then said to Wu Liang with a smile, "This time General Wu helped The Bai family is in a hurry, so it's time for Bai to thank General Wu with flowers and Buddhas, so how can it be regarded as an even balance between the Bai family and General Wu?"

"What kind of even method?"

Wu Liang asked knowingly.

"Now the Bai family and General Wu do not owe each other, so the Suihou Zhu that General Wu took from the tomb of the former king still has to be returned, and the Suizhu people of the Bai family will still accompany General Wu until the Suihou Zhu Until the property is returned to its original owner, General Wu is a person who keeps his promise, so he probably won’t change this at will, right?”

Bai Qiru took advantage of the situation and expressed his thoughts.

"Naturally, the honest and trustworthy little man is talking about me."

Wu Liang immediately nodded with his chest.

"Then thank you, General Wu."

Bai Qiru cupped his hands and said.

"Mr. Bai can take a small sealed porcelain bottle first, and store this liquid pill for emergencies. Believe me, even such a small amount of liquid pill is a treasure that is hard to find."

Wu Liang pointed to the yellow-brown liquid in the wine glass that was mixed with "Xi Dan" powder, and reminded with a smile.

This can be regarded as Wu Liang eating meat, and at the same time leaving a little soup for Bai Qiru.

"Then Bai will be impolite, haha."

Bai Qiru immediately followed suit.

At this moment, Bai Qiru and the Bai family's trust in Wu Liang has reached an incomparable level. It can be said that they can do anything for Wu Liang except the tomb of the Guangchuan king and the ancestors of the Bai family.

This is the happy ending.

Only Bai Jingjing looked at her happy father, especially when her father looked at her with gratifying eyes, her heart became more and more empty.

Because there is another matter, among the people here, I am afraid that Bai Qiru is the only one who is still in the dark.

That means she has been "expelled" from the Bai family by the grandpa.

"..."

Bai Jingjing hesitated in her heart.

She has never kept anything from her father since she was a child, and now this matter is even more important. She always feels that she should explain it clearly in front of her father, instead of being relayed by the grandfather, so that even if her father has to choose to accept it in the end, In my heart, I may not be able to pass this hurdle.

After all, her father is the head of the Bai family, and she is the daughter of the head of the Bai family.

In terms of emotion and reason, she is the person in the clan who shouldn't have this happen. With his father's serious and stubborn temperament, he may never be able to turn around this corner, and he will never be able to forgive her.

Wriggling her lips, Bai Jingjing struggled in her heart, but she still wanted to make it clear to her father face to face.

She doesn't want to part ways with Wu Liang, but she also doesn't want to lose her only father. She desperately hopes to get his father's blessing, not a lifetime of hatred and complaints.

Bai Jingjing raised her feet with difficulty, trying to approach her father.

But slowly put her foot down again, she wished she was braver, but it was really difficult.

So many times.

"Cuckoo..."

There was a slight sound of teeth rubbing in her mouth, she was gritting her teeth to make herself firmer, she hoped to use this way to support the courage that was so hard to put together.

at last.

Her feet took the first step towards her father who was being courteous to Wu Liang, and this step alone almost exhausted all her strength.

at this time.

"?"

A hand grabbed her arm, and Bai Jingjing turned around in surprise.

The person who held her back was her grandpa, to be precise, "Grand Uncle". It was this elder of the Bai family who made the decision to "fulfill" her and Wu Liang, and tried to help her hide it from her father. .

"Jingjing, you are a filial child, you are the pride of the Bai family, the grandfather is right about you."

Taigong suppressed his voice and said an irrelevant sentence.

"Grandpa..."

Bai Jingjing looked at the grandpa's kind face, but it wasn't why the grandpa wanted to talk about it at this time.

"Your father didn't see you wrong."

The grandfather then said seriously, "He is also proud of having a daughter like you."

"But……"

It's okay if the grandfather didn't say that, but Bai Jingjing's body trembled when she said this, her eyes were covered with a layer of water mist, and the pain in her heart and nasal cavity was undeniable, which made her feel that she had to make it clear to her father face to face, regardless of the burden. What kind of consequences, this is what she must do as a daughter.

Eye sockets were slightly red, and Bai Jingjing suddenly turned around. At this moment, her shattered courage actually strengthened, and she firmly took another foot towards her father.

result.

"return!"

The grandfather dragged her back, and said angrily and with a smile, "It's really your father's daughter. Like your father, she will never be able to open her mind. I am too old-fashioned, and I am still playing charades with you... Listen, you About the matter with General Wu, as well as the matter of removing you from the family tree, I have already discussed it with your father in private three days ago, do you understand?"

"what?"

Bai Jingjing was stunned for a moment, Bai Qiru didn't have any abnormalities when facing her these few days, did he hide it so deeply?
"Your father is the head of the family. Even if I am the elder of the clan, it is not easy to hide such an important matter from him."

Tai Gong said.

"Then, what does my father mean?"

Bai Jingjing's solid courage fell apart in an instant, and was replaced by an even stronger guilty conscience.

"You don't know about your father's temper?"

Taigong asked back.

"..."

Bai Jingjing naturally understood what the grandfather meant.

Her father was so stubborn that even eight cows couldn't hold him back. If he didn't accept this matter, the Bai family's sky would collapse in half. How could he talk to her like he used to in the past few days?
Thinking of this, Bai Jingjing suddenly remembered another thing.

Just the night before yesterday, when Bai Qiru was having dinner with her, he suddenly threw a gold hairpin over for no reason. You can't make decisions for you like you did when you were a child. You need to know how to protect yourself. There is nothing to give you as a gift for your father. This gold hairpin is specially found for your father. The use of a self-defense device, you see, my father also deliberately left two blood grooves on the gold hairpin, piercing into the vital parts of the body can make the person bleed profusely, and he can bleed to death from time to time..."

Bai Jingjing believed it at the time.

But think about it now... What a blood tank!
This gold hairpin made of pure gold is relatively soft, and it will not slip straight when you break it a little. What about my troubles?

Return the blood tank?
Rather, it is the brainchild of an old straight man at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Her father, everything else is good, but his temper is too straightforward and he is not good at telling lies and making up stories. Compared with Wu Youcai, he is really far behind.

It would be great if the two could evenly match each other, so that Wu Youcai would not be so attractive.

and so.

At this moment, Bai Jingjing finally understood that her father's sudden gift of this golden hairpin was actually a gift for her...

"Father……"

Bai Jingjing was angry and funny at the moment, but the mist in her eyes quickly condensed, and accidentally dripped down her cheeks.

It's really disappointing.

Bai Jingjing quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tear, as if she was afraid of being seen by others.

However, at this moment, she suddenly noticed that her father had looked over at some point, with a kindness and reluctance in his eyes that did not match his usual serious image.

But at the moment when her eyes collided with her father's.

Bai Qiru's eyes became serious again in an instant, and he said with a straight face: "Jingjing, you heard what I said to General Wu just now, General Wu is a person who keeps his promise, and your duty is to help General Wu keep his promise, No matter how much time has passed, the Suihou Pearl must be returned to its original owner, there must be no mistakes!"

……

After January.

Wu Liang and his party finally passed through the entire Jizhou smoothly, and arrived at the secondary destination of the trip, which is the Zhongshan Kingdom located in the northernmost part of Jizhou, which is also the boundary where Zhen Mi is located.

The Zhen family in Zhongshan is not only a famous family in Zhongshan country, but also the whole Jizhou, and even the whole Central Plains, they can definitely be called a famous family.

Especially during Wang Mang's period, the Zhen family took over the positions of loyal ministers such as Da Sikong, Da Sima, Jing Zhaoyin, and Guang Luxun. They were known as the "Four Zhens" both inside and outside the court.

However, with the downfall of Wang Mang, the influence of the Zhen family in the court has also shrunk, but it is still not to be underestimated, and it is by no means comparable to Chen Liu's Zhu family.

After entering Zhongshan, Wu Liang sent Yang Wanli to investigate the situation of Zhen's family.

Unexpectedly, this inquiry would lead to another piece of news that was beyond Wu Liang's expectations:

Yuan Shao issued another article denouncing Boss Cao, and the author of this article wrote "For Yuan Shao's Appeal to Yuzhou" in history, openly exposing that Boss Cao "specially set up Qiu Zhonglang, Mojin Xiaowei, and so on. Overwhelmed and sudden, without revealing "Chen Lin.

The proclamation this time also mentioned the matter of tomb robbery.

However, there is a big difference with the content of the call to arms in history that Wu Liang knew!
