Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 727 The Overturned Gourmet (4000)

"..."

Seeing that Wu Liang was so unkind, Jin Wei's previous goodwill disappeared in an instant. He frowned and looked at Wu Liang as if he wanted to say something, but seeing his unkind expression, he had no intention of bargaining with him at all. , and finally chose to keep his mouth shut.

"My son is doing this trick again..."

Everyone in the Huan army was not surprised by this.

They were very aware of Wu Liang's behavior style. He must not be considered a decent person, otherwise he would not be able to do the thing of taking those children hostage.

But at the same time, he is not the kind of heinous villain. Let's just put it this way, if Jin Wei and the people of Qu County really dare to be unfavorable to the Huan Army, Wu Liang may not be able to do things like massacre the city, but if Jin Wei and Qu The people in the county cooperated with him honestly and didn't do anything wrong. Even if they didn't cooperate with him, as long as they didn't do anything to murder him and the Liren army, Wu Liang would scare them at most and would not really go. Embarrass them, let alone embarrass those ignorant children.

Therefore, everyone in the Liren Army knew in their hearts that Wu Liang was talking to Jin Wei in such a way now, but it was due to his cautious personality, and he was habitually bluffing this guy.

After all, once Wu Liang enters the ghost cave, it is impossible for Wu Liang to keep abreast of the outside situation. If Jin Wei conceals any important information, or hides any other thoughts in his heart, it will be difficult for him and the Huan army. It is very likely to be a catastrophe, and it is necessary to put a pair of "shackles" on Jin Wei and his group of "yellow turban thieves" to kill this possibility in the cradle.

"Are there any other questions?"

Closing Jin Wei's mouth, Wu Liang glanced at the Huanren Army and asked again.

"Gone."

Everyone in the Huan army shook their heads.

Wu Liang felt that Zhou Xiang's arrangement had proved his determination to explore the ghost cave. They knew that with Wu Liang's temperament, no matter what they said, they had to enter the ghost cave.

Most importantly, they were indeed unable to find any obvious loopholes in Wu Liang's arrangement, and believed that as long as they acted according to the plan, the risks would be completely controllable, and they were no more dangerous than the ancient tombs they had entered before. , might as well take a risk.

After all, under that ghost cave is very likely to be the legendary fairyland!

As the aborigines of this era, they are actually more likely than Wu Liang to believe in the existence of fairyland, and some people's yearning even exceeds Wu Liang's curiosity.

"In that case, let's set up camp on the mountain for the next two days."

Wu Liang nodded, and said to Yang Wanli, "Yang Wanli, you can't be idle for the past two days. Take someone to investigate carefully around Yuzhou Mountain, and don't let go of any secret places, secret passages or weird things that may exist. This ghost cave is at the foot of Yuzhou Mountain, so maybe it has some connection with Yuzhou Mountain."

In fact, not only is there some connection with the ghost cave, but also the "Taigong Seal" in Wu Liang's arms.

How could Wu Liang forget the sudden abnormal change in Tai Gong Yin?

Therefore, he also has reason to speculate that Yuzhou Mountain may be related to Jiang Ziya or Lu Qi founded by Jiang Ziya, but so far no relevant signs have been found on Yuzhou Mountain.

Also.

Wu Liang still needs to do some things to verify Tian Heng's mansion and those monument-less tombs, but these things are easy to cause controversy, and he must not do it in front of Jin Wei and others, or even talk about it. It can only be done in private after they are dismissed.

"promise."

Yang Wanli bowed his hands and said.

"Also, old sir, come with me."

Wu Liang stepped forward again and took Yu Ji to a place where there was no one else.

He just saw that Yu Ji had something to say, but he never said it, it must be because it is inconvenient to say these words in front of so many people.

……

"The parents who gave birth to me, the son who knows me."

When he came to a place where no one was around, Yu Ji immediately lowered his voice and asked, "My lord, I wonder if you have read a special chapter in "Tai Shi Gong Ji" called "Feng Chan Chapter"?"

"Feng Zen Chapter?"

Wu Liang frowned as he recalled.

There are many different special chapters in "Historical Records", covering almost every aspect from governance to people's livelihood, from emperors to common people, and some chapters are very long.

Although Wu Liang was a graduate student majoring in archeology in his previous life, he was still a person with limited energy and could not know everything like a computer. When he really needed any information, he still had to search for it for research.

As for the "Feng Chan Chapter" that Yu Ji is now mentioning, Wu Liang doesn't have much impression, and he doesn't know whether it has not been passed down to later generations, or he has not read it.

"Exactly."

Yu Ji nodded, he had already seen the bewilderment in Wu Liang's eyes, and thought that it was really not easy, there are still chapters in "Tai Shi Gong Ji" that the young master doesn't know, but he didn't dwell on it, he just continued, "It is mentioned in the "Feng Chan Pian" that there are three sacred mountains in the foreign seas of Qi. These three sacred mountains are called "Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou". Go out to sea to look for these three holy mountains. It is said that some people have seen these three holy mountains, but they can't climb the holy mountains anyway, because when you look at them from a distance, the holy mountains seem to be surrounded by clouds and mist, but when you come closer, you can't see them. Only to find that the sacred mountains are under the sea... Xu Fu was also mentioned in the "Feng Chan Chapter". When the first emperor ordered Xu Fu to go to sea to find the elixir of life, it was also to climb these three sacred mountains, not the Zuzhou that the witch just mentioned. "

"This……"

Wu Liang pondered.

He also knew that Qin Shihuang ordered Xu Fu to go out to sea, looking for the three sacred mountains of "Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou" instead of "Zuzhou", but he didn't know that the legendary three sacred mountains were actually under the sea ? !
and so……

The purpose of Yu Ji talking about this matter with him is self-evident.

He wanted to tell Wu Liang that he should not trust what the witch said before, and he should not preconceive that the ghost cave leads to "Zuzhou", or it may actually be "Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou". One of the sacred mountains, after all, this "ghost cave" is under the sea, which is very similar to the description of the three sacred mountains.

It's a pity that there are very few records about "Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou" in the history books. Although Wu Liang knew the three sacred mountains, he didn't have a specific concept, let alone the specific relationship between the sacred mountains and "Zuzhou". the difference.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Liang said to Ji: "Mr., it's fine for me to talk about this matter for the time being. We'll play it by ear when the time comes."

"I know this old man, that's why I didn't mention it in public just now."

Yuji nodded.

"In addition, there may be no conflict between Zuzhou and the three sacred mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. Maybe it's just that the times are different, so the names have also changed."

Wu Liang thought for a while and then said, "As far as I know, there is 'Yingzhou' among the ten continents of Juhai, and there is also 'Yingzhou' among the three sacred mountains. This 'Yingzhou' should refer to the same place. As for Zuzhou..."

Speaking of this, Wu Liang finally contradicted himself.

Because different from other Juhai Ten Continents, the legend of Zuzhou and the "Yangshenzhi" on Zuzhou is related to Qin Shihuang, and the legend of the three sacred mountains is also related to Qin Shihuang. It is not difficult to judge that the two should be in the same place. Period, logically speaking, if it is the same place, it is unlikely that there will be too much change in the name.

This question made Wu Liang a little dizzy.

In short, everything is just speculation now, and there is no correct answer without verification.

Wu Liang simply shook his head to get these conjectures out of his mind, and be careful not to be misled by known information, especially information obtained from outsiders...

……

Next, the Huren Army set up camp near Tian Heng's mansion. While ordering Yang Wanli to lead people to search on Yuzhou Mountain, he also ordered people to take care of Tian Heng's mansion and not allow the "yellow turban thieves" on the island to approach at will. .

that night.

The Guren Army was ordered to secretly dig open two tombs without monuments.

Because Wu Liang needs to verify the authenticity of the rumors first, to see if those buried here are those loyal to Tian Heng's disciples.

The two monumental tombs do contain two complete human bodies.

The two corpses were not even covered with the simplest straw mats, they were just buried in the pit hastily, and now they have become two skeletons.

After Wu Liang cleaned up the skeleton shelf, he examined it carefully, and found no obvious fatal cracks on the skeleton, but he found blackened traces on the skeleton from the neck to the abdomen. From this, it can be judged that the deceased should have committed suicide by taking poison in the end.

Apart from these, there are no other discoveries.

However, this was enough for Wu Liang, and this further increased the credibility of those legends... The "living dead" who appeared on Yuzhou Mountain in the corpses of the disciples who turned into "living dead" may also be true.

That's it.

Wu Liang ordered the two corpses to be reburied in the tomb, and some offerings were attached, and he knelt down in front of the tomb as an apology for the interruption. So far, the exploration of these unmonumental tombs was regarded as a temporary cessation. It's over.

within the next two days.

Yang Wanli's investigation found nothing... Although Yuzhou Mountain is not small, most of it is rocky, and the vegetation is relatively less. Many places can be seen at a glance. The difficulty is not great.

During this period, Yu Ji also went to the top of the mountain to watch the Fengshui here.

Still nothing.

As for Wu Liang's "Taigong Seal", the aura also remained in a state of insolence, without any changes.

Such two days passed quickly.

Wu Liang watched helplessly as the sea level continued to drop, and finally dropped to a height of about three feet, completely exposing the entrance of the ghost cave.

Those "yellow turban thieves" at the foot of the mountain were too busy these two days.

As the sea level continued to drop, almost all of them joined the battle, catching the sea on the beach day and night. However, unlike the eating habits of later generations, they obviously had to pay more attention to eating, such as oysters and small shellfish, which were difficult to eat, Seafood with little meat, they almost don't even look at it.

They are only interested in those fish, shrimp and crab, and some fresher sea vegetables.

The Huan army had nothing to do, so they also joined the team of rushing to the sea.

Wu Liang deliberately bought a basket of small shellfish and oysters that no one wanted, including razor clams, clams, and scallops, and cooked them all in a big pot, especially oysters. Is it true that the saying "stand" is true, anyway, as long as this thing is cooked, it will definitely not kill people.

But the taste is so embarrassing...

Different from the later generations, there are not so many kinds of seasonings in this era, there is no chili, and even the garlic is a strange wild garlic. There is really no way to cover up the fishy smell of these shellfish.

This can be regarded as the first overturn of Wu Liang, a "Gourmet of the Huren Army".

Wu Liang couldn't eat it himself, so naturally everyone in the Huan army couldn't eat it either. Just to give Wu Liang some face, he randomly took a taste or two with his eyes closed, and then found an excuse to avoid it. up.

While Wu Liang felt a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but think of the strange looks from those "yellow turban thieves" nearby when he was picking oysters and shellfish at the beach.

Even Wu Liang heard their whispering voices:
"Hey, what is that Wu Taishi doing? Why did he choose those messy things?"

"Could it be for eating?"

"Such an unpalatable food. He is a high-ranking official from the capital. How could he eat it? I suspect it's for feeding chickens. Don't we usually feed chickens with this kind of food?"

"That's right, I saw that they brought a cage with two chickens, one male and one female."

"That must be it."

"..."

Wu Liang didn't take it seriously at the time, and laughed at these guys for not being able to enjoy it. Now that he thinks about it, he is actually young. Wouldn't it be nice to pick up some big blue crabs and big eels and eat them back?

But these are forewords.

Now that the entrance of the ghost cave has been exposed, Wu Liang and the others have also made preparations in advance. They almost followed the ebb tide to the front of the ghost cave. Naturally, they had to seize the time to enter the ghost cave for investigation.

When Wu Liang saw clearly the situation at the entrance of the ghost cave.

The seawater sucked into the ghost cave has long since disappeared, leaving only a cave that slopes downward.

The cave entrance is about three meters high and wide, which can be called spacious. At least for Wu Liang and others, four or five people walking side by side will not be too crowded.

The rocks and walls near the entrance of the cave have obvious scour marks.

So much so that although these rocks and stone walls are not flat, the surface has no sharp edges and corners, and even feels a little smooth...

It is worth noting that Wu Liang and others may have come too early. The cave is not as dry as Jin Wei said at the moment, and the roof of the cave is still dripping water.

"Walk……"

Wu Liang didn't want to waste time, and just planned to order to enter the cave.

"Plop la la la—"

There was a sudden noise in the cave.

Immediately afterwards, several figures with extremely bright and complex colors flew out of the dark cave. These should be the birds that Jin Wei mentioned that flew out of the cave.

"Jingjing!"

While teaching Bai Jingjing how to perform ventriloquism, Wu Liang has already pulled out the "Sleepy Ball" for emergencies.
