Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 609 Ancient Witchcraft (4000)

"what happened?"

Wu Liang withdrew his thoughts temporarily, looked at the fox servant and asked.

"Ow!"

The fox servant screamed twice, and after turning around in a circle, he curled up and lay down on the ground, then closed his eyes, snoring evenly from his nostrils.

Is this... asleep?
Wu Liang was taken aback.

But in the next second, the fox servant opened it again, yelled twice and repeated the action just now.

"This is telling me to sleep..."

Wu Liang immediately understood what the fox servant meant.

Zhen Mi must have discovered something important through the eyes of the fox servant, so she specially ordered the fox servant to come and inform him to enter the dream as soon as possible, intending to explain the situation to him in a dream.

Wu Liang naturally didn't dare to take this seriously.

Zhen Mi is not someone who doesn't know the right time, since she asked servant Hu to inform Wu Liang at this time, it must be necessary to explain this matter to him immediately.

"?"

On the other side, Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci opened their eyes again. Before that, they saw that this little fox could hear complex human language, but now they found that this little fox seemed to have intelligence no less than that of human beings. , and even his extraordinary self-awareness was able to convey information to Wu Liang through body language.

"Dianwei, I'm going to perform a shaman, and you will be on the sidelines to guard."

Wu Liang shouted to Dian Wei immediately.

"promise!"

Dian Wei immediately understood, a pair of tiger eyes swept over Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci, pointed to an open space near the door, and warned with a blank expression, "You two, please sit here for a while. If someone dares to act rashly, don't blame Wei for being cruel!"

"Nature, nature."

Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci knew that Dian Wei was not easy to get along with, so they obediently went to the place Dian Wei pointed out, and looked at Wu Liang eagerly, to see how he was going to perform the "Skill of Raising the Witch".

Naturally, Wu Liang didn't delay any longer, so he spread a winter coat on the ground on the spot, and then found a comfortable position to lie down, trying to clear up those messy things in his mind as much as possible to make him sleepy.

Put it on the usual.

In this situation, Wu Liang must have had a hard time falling asleep.

But this time he didn't catch up on sleep during the day, and was suddenly called into this secret realm after nightfall. In addition, he walked for many hours during the process and experienced some thrilling things, which gave his body and spirit It also brought a lot of burdens, and at this moment he was exhausted physically and mentally.

Coupled with the fact that the situation has temporarily stabilized now, this stone room does not look dangerous.

Wu Liang's consciousness soon began to blur.

After about two cups of tea.

"Hu-hu-"

Even snoring sounded from Wu Liang's mouth and nose, and he actually fell asleep.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci were stunned.

What's the situation?

Could it be that this is the legendary "Skill of Waking up the Whistleblower", are you sure you didn't accidentally fall asleep during the wrestling?
Zuo Ci can be considered to have some understanding of the principle of the "Skill of Raising the Witch".

"The Art of Waking Up the Witch" is actually a fugue witchcraft in which the soul leaves the body, and once the soul leaves the body, the caster's body will become a body without a soul, which is not considered dead but not alive. It is a state of suspended animation similar to "turtle breathing".

Being able to snore in this state is somewhat excessive...

"Dian Lux..."

Thinking of this, Zuo Ci couldn't help calling Dian Wei softly.

"What's the matter?"

Dian Wei immediately stared at him, his sharp gaze made Zuo Ci wonder whether he should continue to say what he wanted to say.

After swallowing his saliva, Zuo Ci finally held on and said: "Dian Lishi, I don't think the talented and virtuous brother looks like he is casting a spell now, he probably fell asleep accidentally, or you go over there have a look?"

"This is not something you should worry about. Even if my young master just fell asleep, you still need to stay on the sidelines. It's best not to be smart."

Dian Wei said with a blank face.

"Ha ha……"

Zuo Ci gave a dry laugh, but couldn't say anything more.

……

at the same time.

Wu Liang has successfully met Zhen Mi in the dream.

"There was a weird aura that was very familiar to me exuding from that wooden staff. At first I was still wondering where I had seen this aura. After a little recollection, I finally had seen this aura."

Zhen Mi didn't flirt with Wu Liang this time, and went straight to the point as soon as she appeared, which shows that this matter must be serious.

"where?"

Wu Liang agreed.

"Wen Ming (Da Yu) was a craftsman who was almost inseparable when he was controlling the water. This person was called 'Shen'."

Zhen Mi continued, "This person exudes almost the same weird aura as this wooden staff. The aura is neither human nor human, nor ghost nor ghost, nor beast, but also mixed with an inexplicable corpse aura. You can’t see it at all, but to me, Tu Shan, it’s impossible to hide it no matter what.”

"so……"

Hearing this, Wu Liang still couldn't find a clue and couldn't fully understand what Zhen Mi was talking about.

A wooden stick engraved with the word "Gun".

A craftsman named "Shen" has the same aura as it.

This aura also looks like a human being but not a human being, a ghost is not a ghost, a beast is not a beast, and it is even mixed with an inexplicable corpse aura...

Wu Liang was not an uninformed person, but he couldn't connect the information together and piece together a plausible story.

"So I dare to assert that the craftsman must have a close relationship with this wooden staff!"

Zhen Mi said firmly again, "I've lived for thousands of years, but I've only seen this unique aura twice. It's definitely not a coincidence!"

"So, in your opinion, what is the relationship between the two?"

Wu Liang asked.

"Listen to me first about the craftsman."

Zhen Mi continued to say seriously, "When Wen Ming was controlling the water, I met that craftsman a few times. When I first saw him, I noticed this unique and strange aura. Therefore, seeing that Wen Ming was almost inseparable from him, I made a side-step attack on Wen Ming. Inquire about his affairs, lest this person harbor evil intentions and harm Wen Ming."

"I only found out after asking. It turned out that this person came here after Wen Ming was appointed as Sikong and shouldered the great responsibility of water control. The two did not know each other before."

"On the other hand, Wen Ming is full of praise for him, just because he is very insightful about water control. He seems to be very familiar with the previous water control work of Wen Ming's father 'Gun', and he is also well aware of the floods in many rivers in the south and sea. .”

"At the beginning of Wenming's flood control, because of lack of experience, he wanted to use the "water barrier method" used by 'Gun' to resist floods. How can Wen Ming tolerate this person insulting his father, and immediately wants to take this person down and punish him, but this person says that he has better water control decisions, and if the water control fails, he is willing to commit suicide and apologize."

"So Wen Ming suppressed his anger and asked him, and he immediately proposed to Wen Ming the water control strategy of 'blocking is worse than sparse, sparse is worse than shrinking', and he dug ditches on the spot and filled them with water to simulate floods to prove his water control strategy Fang Lue, this method really beats the 'Blocking Water Method', which opened Wen Ming's eyes."

"And what shocked Wen Ming even more."

"After the flood simulation, Wen Ming went to look at the ditches dug by this person before, and found that these ditches were not dug at random, but dug out the Nine Rivers Map that would have been severely flooded at that time! Wen Ming then He quickly ordered someone to fetch the blueprints to check, and the Jiuhe map dug up by this person is not only not bad at all, it is actually more detailed than the blueprints in his hands, and even the mountains and rivers that the Jiuhe flows through are also displayed!"

"Wen Ming is a man of heaven, and he will treat this person as a guest of honor. No matter where you go to control the water, you must take him with you and ask him for advice at all times."

"Wen Ming used to be my husband, so I don't want to belittle Wen Ming."

"But regarding water control, even Wen Ming often sighs to me. The flood in the world can be eliminated. This person should be the first to contribute. It must be that God is merciful to the suffering of the people in the world. That's why he sent such a strange person to assist Wen Ming in controlling the flood. benefit the people of the world."

"..."

Hearing this, Wu Liang felt as if he had just accepted a brainstorm.

Regarding the "Shen" mentioned by Zhen Mi, Wu Liang has never heard of it, and there has never been a record of a similar character in ancient books, which inevitably makes Wu Liang feel puzzled.

It should be known that Dayu later became the emperor.

Now that he is the son of heaven, facing such a great hero who played such a role, he is still such a stranger that even Dayu regards him as a "heavenly man", so it is inevitable that he will be greatly rewarded, let alone be recorded in the annals of history.

But such a person is ultimately unknown.

Shouldn't...

Wu Liang thought of a possibility - the master is overwhelmed by his achievements!
Is it because this person's achievements are so outstanding that Dayu was afraid that his achievements would overwhelm the Lord, so he erased and monopolized all the achievements of this person, and also erased this person?
This is something that many founding emperors often do, and related records in history books are not uncommon.

With such a guess, Wu Liang asked subconsciously: "Later, why didn't such a capable person appear in the history books, and this matter has not been handed down?"

"And that brings us to the strangest part of the matter!"

Zhen Mi also frowned slightly at this moment, and said in a mysterious tone, "Wen Ming has worked hard for 13 years with the help of this person, and he didn't even go home to visit me when I gave birth, and finally successfully eliminated the flood in Jiuhe. When Wen Ming was rewarded by Emperor Shun and returned home, one day I had no intention of asking about the whereabouts of this person, but Wen Ming had no impression of this person, as if he had never seen this person before, or even heard of him. over average."

"I was puzzled, so I asked other craftsmen who followed Wen Ming to control the water."

"Unexpectedly, those craftsmen also said that they had never seen or heard of this person. I knew some witchcraft since I was a child. Naturally, it is not so easy to fool, so I secretly told Wen Ming and these people Some means were used to verify whether they lied to me."

"After trying it out, it can only prove that everyone's words are not false!"

"This puzzles me a lot. I have personally seen Wen Ming discuss water control matters with this person, and I have also seen those craftsmen who participated in water control talk and laugh happily with this person. I will never be wrong!"

"But why did I take the lead but only I remember this person called 'San'."

"But everyone, including Wen Ming, seems to have their memory of this person wiped out, and no one remembers the slightest bit of this person?"

"Maybe it's because they are all human, but I am a nine-tailed demon fox, so I am different from them?"

"..."

Hearing this again, Wu Liang also frowned in his heart, filled with surprise.

What Zhen Mi said just now seems to be able to rule out the possibility that the person named "Shen" was dealt with privately by Dayu because of his great achievements, right?
But this undoubtedly cast a veil of fantasy on the whole matter.

Erase memory?

This is something that Wu Liang has only seen in later generations of science fiction novels or film and television works, and these things must have been imagined, and there is no such means and equipment in reality.

What's more, it is still a large group of amnesia...

However, there are indeed many unsolved mysteries in the human brain, and it is true that it will lose memory.

In medicine, there are many cases of amnesia caused by severe blows to the head, and there are also some cases of partial amnesia caused by psychological or emotional problems, but the planned and purposeful amnesia does not exist.

So, what is going on here?
"You think these things are weird, don't you?"

Zhen Mi looked at Wu Liang's face, but smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued, "I won't hide it from you, this matter has actually troubled me for thousands of years, although I don't think about it every moment, but It was so impressive that I will never forget it, because it is the only thing in my life that I can't figure out."

"Until just now, when I saw this staff, and felt the same special aura on this staff as that of the man called 'San', I suddenly remembered a kind that even I had never seen before, only When I was very young, I heard the ancestors of the Tushan family mention the ancient witchcraft that has long been lost."

"Although I still can't be sure whether Wen Ming and the erased memories of those craftsmen are related to this ancient witchcraft."

"But many details show that there should be some inevitable connection between the two..."

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded intently, and then Zhen Mi said, "It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"First of all, the time when the construction of this secret realm was completed and the time when Dayu controlled the floods were just around the corner, so from the timeline, there may actually be some connection between the two;"

"Secondly, Dayu's father 'Gun' also has the most direct relationship with this secret realm, and the wooden staff of 'Gun' was also found here, and you said that this wooden staff is related to the man named 'Shen' Exuding exactly the same special atmosphere, this is a commonality worthy of scrutiny, and it is also a suspicious point; "

"Again, the person named 'Shen' is very concerned about water control. In that era of traffic congestion, his understanding of Jiuhe was far beyond ordinary people. His identity is indeed worthy of scrutiny, especially after everyone was wiped out Besides the memory thing about him, it's even more of a queer thing."

"so……"

"I'm curious, what exactly is the ancient witchcraft you're talking about?"
