Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 560 What about cheating ghosts? (4000)

But the question now is, what exactly is Zuo Ci's purpose of using this technique of desperation?
Of course, Wu Liang would not question Zhen Mi's vision. With her qualifications, this little trick is simply a trick, and there is no possibility of deception.

Zuo Ci probably didn't intend to harm others.

Because Zhen Mi also made it clear that although what Zuo Ci is using now should be a technique of aversion to victory, it is mainly a ritual of suppression.

And if you want to figure out Zuo Ci's real purpose, you should first figure out what exactly he wants to suppress, so that all problems can be solved easily.

However, it is up to Yang Wanli to inquire about this matter, and there is a high probability that there will be no results.

After all, he had already said before that the people in Jinyang city didn't know much about Zuo Ci, they only knew that he was the "immortal teacher" invited by Jinyang order Zhang Liang from somewhere.

And what kind of abilities this "immortal master" has, most of the common people don't know anything about it.

Like Wu Liang and others, most of them saw Zuo Ci for the first time.

But Jinyang ordered Zhang Liang to know something.

Otherwise, how could he, who had no interest in such things before, suddenly hold such a sacrificial ceremony, and address Zuo Ci as an "immortal teacher".

You can guess with a little thought.

Zuo Ci must have shown some convincing "immortal skills" in front of Jinyang Ling Zhang Liang, so that he could teach Zhang Liang to trust him so much and obey his words.

of course.

It is also possible that Zhang Liang knew what Zuo Ci was suppressing earlier than before.

Even in the recent period of time, there may have been some unknown visions in Jinyang City, and it has reached the point where there will be catastrophe if it is not suppressed, so Zuo Ci had to be called here to display it.

But this possibility has a loophole.

That was Zuo Ci's worship method that concealed people's eyes and ears. If Zhang Liang really knew what Zuo Ci was suppressing, there would be no need to conceal people's eyes and ears like this.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Wu Liang is still more inclined to the previous guess.

This sacrificial ceremony should probably be Zuo Ci's own idea. Zhang Liang didn't know much about it, and he might even be completely kept in the dark.

And now Wu Liang wants to figure out Zuo Ci's real purpose, I am afraid it is not an easy task.

After all, Zuo Ci has a ghost in his heart at this moment, so he must be on guard against everyone he comes in contact with. It is almost impossible to get close to him without startling the snake, let alone trying to get some news from him, which is naturally even more important. It is difficult to reach the sky.

Maybe acting rashly will bring disaster to all the people in the Huan army.

Now Zuo Ci has gained the trust of Zhang Liang, the commander of Jinyang, and has even made him obey his words. In this way, Zuo Ci can be regarded as a local snake in Jinyang City, and even if they are strong dragons, Zuo Ci's army must be a little bit weaker. bow your head.

What's more, Wu Liang and others know too little about Zuo Ci, let alone his ability, and if Zuo Ci is judged according to the records in the history books, it's really hard to say who is a snake and who is a dragon...

"Can you see anything else?"

While thinking this way, Wu Liang looked at Zhen Mi and asked again.

"temporarily unavailable."

Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "However, what I'm sure of is that this person is using the technique of disgusting victory here, so the suppressed thing must be in the city, and it should have a lot to do with this ancient altar. It is even possible that this ancient altar was originally built to suppress something."

"Understood……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

It seems that Yang Wanli should be reminded to focus the investigation on the historical sites in Jinyang City and the connection between these historical sites and this ancient altar.

So maybe something will be gained.

However, according to the news brought back by Yang Wanli, the vast majority of the people in the city are unable to explain the origin of this ancient altar, and it may be difficult to give other useful information.

It's just that as long as there is a possibility, it should be tried, so Wu Liang doesn't intend to draw a conclusion too early.

As for Zhen Mi.

She has already said this step, which means that she actually doesn't know much about this ancient altar, even if what she knows can be traced back to before the Xia Dynasty.

After all, strictly speaking, the area where she was born should be in Tushan, and after she married Dayu, she mainly lived in the area south of central China. She may not have been to Bingzhou, nor may she be interested in everything.

So much thought.

Wu Liang felt that it was Jinyang Ling Zhang Liang who made contact more easily.

As for Zuo Ci, apart from the records in the history books, Wu Liang knew nothing about it now. Even if Yang Wanli was asked to investigate, it would be difficult to find out anything, and he would startle the snake if he was not careful.

But for Jinyang Ling Zhang Liang.

The news that Yang Wanli brought back was much more detailed, and many people in the city were able to make some comments, and it was easy to get verification.

On this basis, it is easier for Wu Liang to make Zhang Liang like Jinyang.

Fragrant!
This is the important entry point that Wu Liang came up with after analyzing all the materials related to Zhang Liang.

This hobby is Zhang Liang's weakness.

And when it comes to fragrance.

Wu Liang was indeed able to come up with visions that were different from ordinary spices, not only could make Zhang Liang fascinated, but also make Zhang Liang refreshed.

He believed that the incense that the stranger in Haihunhou's tomb had spent his whole life developing must have an extremely fatal attraction to Zhang Liang.

thought here.

Wu Liang immediately called Yang Wanli over, and whispered in his ear, "Quickly check Zhang Liang's route back home after the ceremony, and find out which carriage he will take."

"promise."

Yang Wanli nodded, and took the two of them out of the crowd.

……

The sacrificial ceremony is still going on in an orderly manner.

In fact, Wu Liang was not very interested in this kind of ceremony. Most of the etiquette and procedures in it were similar to those recorded in the history books of the Han Dynasty. Except for some small details, there was nothing too elaborate.

After such a long half an hour.

The ceremony finally came to an end.

Jinyang ordered Zhang Liang to stand on the ancient sacrificial altar and read aloud a stinky and long sacrificial speech written by someone. Wu Liang could almost understand what it meant. The backbone of the city can almost understand it, it is nothing more than thanking the sky and praying for God to bless Jinyang City with long-term peace and good weather.

But for the vast majority of people in the audience who can't even write their own names.

Except for a few more straightforward terms, the rest of the sacrificial words are no different from heavenly scriptures.

So much so that when Zhang Liang read the sacrificial speech, many people yawned... If not before, they would have known that after the sacrificial speech ceremony, Zhang Liang and the "immortal teacher" on the stage would provide wine and meat offerings. The people in the city are feasting, and the quantity is guaranteed to be sufficient, so they may have already started to leave.

Yes.

Yang Wanli had reported this matter to Wu Liang before.

At that time, even Yang Wanli felt that this matter was a bit mysterious. In this war-torn era when many people could not even afford to eat, it was a rare act of charity in the Zhen family where Zhen Mi lived before. There is also a guarantee that there will be plenty of wine and meat, which is hard to believe.

It should be known that even though the productivity and population of this era have been hit hard, the current resident population of Jinyang City is not large, but according to Wu Liang's visual estimation, there are at least a few thousand people who came to watch the sacrificial ceremony this time. As much as that, those underage children and half-children were excluded.

What kind of concept is it that so many people are full of wine and meat?
Wu Liang felt that he should be able to eat Jinyang Chengku and Zhang Liang without even his underwear left.

After all, unlike opening warehouses to release food, wine and meat can already be classified as luxury goods under the current situation, but meat is actually a little easier to talk about, especially wine.

The wine of this era is not the same as the liquor produced on the production line of later generations.

Except for a few liquors that are produced on the production line in later generations, the price is more than a few thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, the rest are all blended with edible alcohol. If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself Look at the ingredient list on the bottle, and refuse to argue, you are right if you argue.

The wines of this era are all genuine grain wines, "grain wine" in the true sense, and because of the limitation of brewing level, the output is pitifully low, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of grain.

This is the reason why the imperial court immediately promulgated the "alcohol prohibition order" or "alcohol restriction order" every time there was a war in ancient times.

Soldiers fighting on the front lines can't even get enough food and wages for meals. How can there be surplus food for wine making? Could it be that the soldiers fight hungry and the officials point out the country with wine belches?
The same is true of Boss Cao.

But now Boss Cao is still promulgating the "Liquor Restriction Order". After he welcomes Emperor Xian and really starts to control the government, he will issue the "Alcohol Restriction Order". I also know that firewood is expensive.

So, can you be full with a lot of wine and meat?

Not only Wu Liang couldn't believe it, even the common people couldn't believe it... It's just that they may not be able to touch meat once in a few years, and wine is something that many people are not qualified to touch in their entire lives, even if they know it in their hearts. There is a high probability that the matter will be a blank check, and they will still refuse to leave before the end.

What if?
How about one hundred and one?
What about one million?
People more or less have some fluke mentality, just like some crazy lottery players in later generations.

Even if someone went to claim the prize with a million-dollar scratch ticket, they were told that the lottery ticket was fake, and the person in charge of the lottery agency made it clear in front of the camera that they did issue the kind of scratch ticket with the highest winning of 100 million. , but there has never been a winning number that can win 100 million at all. Isn't there still some people who are still enjoying it and even going bankrupt?
What if?
How about one hundred and one?
What about one million?
These two dollars are the hope we can hold in our hands, even if the lottery has never printed the winning numbers...

However, what Wu Liang did not expect was that.

In this matter, he was slapped in the face very quickly, and it hurt!

After Jinyang ordered Zhang Liang to read the sacrificial speech, he immediately announced a news that made all the people present cheer: "Come on, serve the wine! Serve the meat!"

The voice fell.

A group of soldiers immediately used a few wooden beams to carry two large bronze tripods from the back of the altar to the front of the altar. The two bronze tripods looked very heavy at first glance, and the soldiers carrying the wooden beams were shaking non-stop.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Accompanied by two loud bangs, the copper tripod was placed on the ground, one left and one right.

If it's not a crisp metal sound, it means that the copper tripod is full of things.

"Everyone, Immortal Master Zuo specially offered this wine and meat to the people in the city. Everyone has a share. Don't squeeze or grab it. Please line up to get it under the guidance of the soldiers. You can only get one piece at a time, and you can only get it on the spot." Eat and drink, don’t take them away privately, if it’s not enough, just queue up again to get it!”

Zhang Liang specifically explained the rules to the people, and then shouted loudly to the soldiers below, "Light the fire, and distribute the wine and meat!"

hula-

Hearing this, the common people immediately flocked to the two big bronze tripods like crazy, for fear that if they were too late, they would lose their share...even though Zhang Liang had made it clear that everyone had a share.

But the people didn't believe it at all.

Although these two big bronze tripods are not small, there are thousands of people present.

Just these two copper tripods, no matter how much they can hold, the wine and meat in them is already the limit for more than a hundred people, let alone such a group of crazy people.

"Everyone has a share in such a little wine and meat, are you lying to ghosts?"

Prince Chamu curled his lips and muttered with a smile, "My lord, now that the ceremony is over, didn't you say you want to show us something tonight? Or let's go back first, anyway, we don't want to miss him." Wine and meat, besides, even if you squeeze past, you may not be able to snatch it."

Obviously his "yin and yang eyes" didn't see any unusual aura from the two bronze tripods, that's why he behaved like this.

"If these two tripods can satisfy so many people, how can the heroes of the world be constrained by food and wages? I would like to see how the Jinyang Order will end."

Zhuge Liang also nodded and said.

"Who said it wasn't."

Yu Ji also stroked his beard and smiled, "How dare this person be worthy of the word "immortal teacher". From what I see, he is just another charlatan trying to gain fame."

However, after hearing the words, Wu Liang still stood still.

"Wait and see."

Wu Liang looked at Zuo Ci standing with his hands behind his back on the ancient altar, and saw that the city defenders had controlled the chaotic situation, making the crazy people have to line up honestly, so he said to Prince Chamu beside him, "Chamu , Zhuge Liang, and Yu Ji, the three of you also go to line up and try to bring us back some wine and meat."

He remembered the deeds related to Zuo Ci recorded in the history books:

Boss Cao went out to play in the suburbs, and there were more than 100 scholar-bureaucrats accompanying him. Zuo Ci sent a bottle of wine and a piece of dried meat. He personally poured the wine bottle and toasted each official.

Later, Liu Biao also thought that Zuo Ci was a demon who confused people's hearts, and planned to kill him, and Zuo Ci also offered a bucket of wine and a small bundle of dried meat. With just such a little thing, tens of thousands of soldiers under Liu Biao's command were full of wine and food. , Many guests are also drunk.

What he sees now.

It is somewhat similar to these legends...

　Thank you [Xiaoxiaosheng] boss for his support.
