Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 596 Zuo Ci’s Philosophy (4000)

It was an invisible hand.

The strength of this hand was very strong, such a grasp made Yan Lu unable to move his hand any more, let alone ring the small copper bell in his hand, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

"This?"

Zuo Ci naturally also noticed this situation, and immediately stopped, with a look of hesitation on his face, for a moment he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

From this point of view, this matter should have nothing to do with Zuo Ci, otherwise he should not behave like this.

And at the same time.

Wu Liang also noticed that Yan Lu's fingers holding the copper bell were slightly loose.

But this is definitely not Yan Lu's own wish.

He was still holding the copper bell tightly, the knuckles of his fingers turned white because of too much force, but the copper bell seemed to be affected by an invisible force, and he was opening his fingers bit by bit, trying to Take that brass bell away.

And Yan Lu is trying his best to resist this invisible force at the moment, but it's a pity that this force is obviously stronger than him, and he probably won't last long.

Besides.

Wu Liang also noticed a detail.

The sounding copper ball hanging in the bell should have been pinched, after all, during the struggle between Yan Lu and the invisible force, the copper bell had shaken many times, but there was no sound at all. Emitted, and only in this way can it be explained.

And the person holding the copper ball in the copper bell was obviously not Yan Lu, and it must have come from that invisible force.

That is to say, if the person who did this was Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang definitely didn't want to teach the copper bell to ring right now.

Could it be that Zhang Liang already knew about Yan Lu's Gu?
Or maybe he just heard the conversation between Yan Lu and Zuo Ci just now, so he learned about it, and now Zuo Ci is still useful to him, so he doesn't want Yan Lu to take Zuo Ci to die together?
When thinking about it like this.

"what!"

Yan Lu couldn't help but let out another cry of pain, and instantly let go of the copper bell in his hand.

Wu Liang took a closer look, only to find that there was another inexplicable wound on Yan Lu's wrist, and this wound was different from the previous sharp weapon scratches. Instead of leaving a slender wound, a triangular one was left. The small hole... seems to have been stabbed severely by some sharp object.

And even weirder.

After the copper bell was released from his hand, he neither fell to the ground nor thought about where it was, but disappeared without a trace in an instant, it disappeared completely out of thin air!
Could it be that after the things in the illusion are taken away by outsiders, the people in the illusion can no longer see them?

Wu Liang could only infer this.

Because the ice blades of the casualties had long been scattered on the ground, and some of the things they carried with them were thrown aside, but these things did not disappear. Only this copper bell that was taken away by someone appeared like this Case.

That is to say.

Whether the items in the illusion disappear or not should be related to whether they are held by outsiders.

If so.

Zuo Ci should be temporarily safe.

Because obviously no sound from the outside world can be heard in the illusion, if the Gu that Yan Lu cast on him must be activated by sound, then even if someone shakes the copper bell close at hand, he will not be affected in any way.

of course.

Perhaps there is another possibility: the Gu worm was not affected by the illusion, and Zuo Ci couldn't hear the bell, which doesn't mean the Gu worm in his body couldn't hear the bell, so the Gu worm in his body may still be "inexplicably" urged. Move, so that he died inexplicably.

But think about the details when that "invisible force" confronted Yan Lu just now.

The "invisible force" that took away the copper bell probably didn't intend to do so, so the possibility of the "inexplicable" attack of the Gu worm in Zuo Ci's body is also very unlikely.

"Help—ah!"

Another scream stopped abruptly.

The accompanying soldiers were still being slaughtered. In just a short while, only a dozen or so soldiers were left alive.

And those soldiers who were injured before had already been mended, and soon lost their breath.

That "invisible force" obviously meant to drive them all to death, without any mercy.

……

The screams of the soldiers continued to be heard.

Wu Liang heard it in his ears, and his heart was a little numb.

In such an era, it is easy for people to become numb. He may have traveled thousands of miles and seen many more tragic scenes than this.

Even the beginning of his journey through life was in a hill made of dead people.

Wu Liang has never been a good man and a believer, but in fact he does not lack compassion and empathy.

On the way back from the excavation of Haihunhou's tomb, he could leave a few carts of food for the hundreds of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who cut the trails, and he could order someone to deliberately leave them alive to let them live.

At the same time, on the way to Qiai Cemetery, those "Shoucao Daoyin soldiers" who pretended to be ghosts and harmed the people could be stripped naked, tied to a tree and frozen to death.

Therefore, he never gave up his persistence.

And the current numbness is because of the inability to protect oneself, so what if it is not numb?
What's more, these soldiers are really innocent. Since they can enter here, they must be regarded as Zhang Liang's direct descendants. They must have participated in the matter of distributing "solid meat" to the people in the city through the sacrificial ceremony...

Wu Liang quickly found a suitable excuse for his numbness.

He couldn't help thinking that if he also had the same ambition as Boss Cao's, he might also become a controversial hero, because he could accept the reality of "one will be successful and ten thousand bones will die" with peace of mind, and he could change his mind when necessary. Get numb and have no psychological burden.

Therefore, he is really not a good person, and he has nothing to do with a saint.

But in the process of his cranky thinking.

Accompanied by the terrified scream of the last soldier, all voices stopped abruptly.

At this moment, only four people are left alive.

Wu Liang, Dian Wei, Zuo Ci and Yan Lu.

Wu Liang, Dian Wei and Zuo Ci are still unharmed at this moment.

On the other hand, Yan Lu had at least a dozen large and small wounds on his body, and almost none of them were intact.

But Yan Lu is still alive and well.

Since his copper bell was taken away, there have been no more wounds on his body, as if the "invisible force" had temporarily changed his mind and planned to let him go.

"..."

At this moment, Wu Liang was convinced that Zhang Liang was the one who did these things.

It's just that he didn't quite understand Zhang Liang's intentions at the moment, why he killed all the soldiers who "betrayed" him, but left Yan Lu's life alone.

Do you think teaching Yan Lu to die like this is too cheap for him?

In Wu Liang's view, this was a big taboo.

Since he decided to kill someone, he must do it all at once, and he must kill the grass and roots, so as to avoid future troubles forever, otherwise he would be irresponsible for his own wealth and life... He was like this when he faced Ma Chao and Pang De.

But he still didn't break it.

Instead, he always maintained the state of being a frightened bird, and said to Zuo Ci in a panicked tone: "Immortal Master Zuo, I am right, there is indeed a killing formation here, and now everyone has died. No, let’s go back the same way sooner, shall we? Maybe it’s still possible to get out of this killing formation.”

"!"

Zuo Ci seemed to be taken aback by Wu Liang, he shook his body before recovering, looked back at Wu Liang and asked with a complicated expression: "Don't you think it's strange?"

"Strange, strange, where is it strange?"

Wu Liang revealed a look of surprise, and asked back.

"It's the lore killing array, so we should kill all of them. Why did the four of us survive alone, and the three of us were unscathed?"

Zuo Ci frowned and asked.

In addition to Yan Lu who was covered in injuries all over his body, there were indeed four people who survived.

And it was true that only the three of them were unharmed.

"This... I don't know what the meaning of Zuo Xianshi's words is?"

Wu Liang pretended not to know.

But Zuo Ci's reaction was normal, Zuo Ci could naturally think of things that Wu Liang could realize.

The only difference between the two is that Wu Liang knew that Zhang Liang was still alive and had summoned more people to take revenge, but Zuo Ci knew nothing about it.

So Zuo Ci's current situation is still very dangerous.

If he said something that shouldn't be said and taught Zhang Liang to hear it, there was no guarantee that it would not cause him any trouble.

And in this situation, it is impossible for Wu Liang to give him any hints... Zuo Ci can only ask for good luck now, I hope this guy will not do anything stupid.

In fact, Wu Liang didn't want Zuo Ci to encounter any accidents.

Because according to historical records, he has reason to suspect that Zuo Ci may be the one who has the best chance to break through this formation, and finally enter that stone room and gain something...

For Wu Liang, Zuo Ci is naturally the most suitable leader.

"I just find it unreasonable. This lore formation seems to be targeted, beyond my previous understanding of formations..."

Zuo Ci still frowned and said, as if he was still thinking about the problem.

"Whether you want to go or not, if you don't go, I will take a step first. I don't want to stay in this place for a moment now. If this formation works again, I can't go if I want to go."

Wu Liang then said with a bitter face.

This is also to teach Zuo Ci to shut up temporarily, lest he talk nonsense.

If he returns to the original road, he will be able to get out of this illusion. At that time, Zuo Ci will naturally see Zhang Liang, and he will naturally understand what is going on.

And if you can't get out...

Then he can only think of other ways, always don't say anything that will be angered by Zhang Liang, and there is still a way to go back.

What's more, Zhang Liang should also find a way to rescue them.

Otherwise, how could they save their lives?

This shows that they must still be useful to Zhang Liang.

"What about him? How will he deal with it?"

But Zuo Ci pointed to Yan Lu who was shrinking on the ground with a frightened face and asked.

Yan Lu's legs also had some wounds, although it didn't look too serious, but he was already a little awkward to walk, otherwise how could he have fallen to the ground before?
"He used voodoo techniques to harm you before, and you have a lot of enmity with him. Naturally, you should have the final say on this matter."

Wu Liang decisively pushed the hot potato out.

"I'm not interested in his life. It's just that you saw it just now. His copper bell that can manipulate Gu worms disappeared inexplicably. This is what disturbs me the most..."

Zuo Ci said hesitantly.

"If you take me out, I will promise to lure Gu worms for you, so that you will have no worries!"

Hearing this, Yan Lu finally saw a glimmer of life, and quickly expressed his opinion to Zuo Ci at the top of his voice.

"Do you think his words are credible?"

Zuo Ci glanced at Yan Lu, but asked Wu Liang.

"This person can even betray his master who has been with him for decades. You can decide for yourself whether the words you say are credible."

Wu Liang also glanced at Yan Lu and said deliberately.

In the end, Yan Lu quickly added to Zuo Ci: "If the Gu worm stays in your body, even without my copper bell, you will not live for half a year, so you can only trust me! What's more, with me now Look, my life has been entrusted to you, if you don't keep your promise after going out, you can easily kill me!"

"I mean that brass bell, do you know where it went?"

Zuo Ci ignored Yan Lu's words, and continued to ask.

"I don't know either. Just now, I just felt that an invisible person was snatching the copper bell from me, and the copper bell disappeared the moment it was released. I don't know the rest."

Yan Lu also showed doubts on his face, and said helplessly.

"Um……"

Zuo Ci immediately fell into silence, as if thinking about something.

Wu Liang saw that the two were talking endlessly, so he finally interjected and said: "It seems that Zuo Xianshi doesn't care about his wealth and life, so you can talk slowly, let's take a step first, take care."

Talking.

Wu Liang nodded to Dian Wei, and the two immediately walked towards the starting point.

In fact, what he said was also a pun. Yan Lu said that Zuo Ci would not live for half a year without the copper bell, but Zuo Ci only cared about the whereabouts of the copper bell. It can be understood that Zuo Ci only cares about life and death now, and doesn't care about what will happen in half a year.

This is also a problem.

Wu Liang couldn't help thinking of the words left by Zuo Ci in the historical records: "The reason why I have great disasters is because I have a body. When I don't have a body, what troubles will I have?"

This statement also seems at first glance to belong to the category of philosophy.

However, as the most mysterious alchemist in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Liang also has reason to suspect that this sentence is not just a philosophical statement, and may have other unknown purposes.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing this, Zuo Ci hurriedly stopped the two of them, and while running to Yan Lu to help him, he said to them in a pleading tone, "Can you please help me, I have to take this person out, maybe he can There are other uses... This move is also beneficial to the two of you, if he dies here, the soldiers outside the secret realm may not necessarily let us live, but if he is alive, he may still be able to use it."

"This……"

Wu Liang finally stopped, and turned his head to look at Zuo Ci and Yan Lu.

He was not considering Zuo Ci's words, but was observing whether Zuo Ci was attacked by "invisible forces" because of his actions.

If not, it means that Zhang Liang also hoped that they would bring Yan Lu out of the illusion.
