Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 730 The Island That Turns Upside Down (4000)

When they were brought back to the cave by the Huan army, those parrots never panicked.

When they came to the water pool, the parrots never panicked.

But when they saw the dolphins jumping out of the water in the pool to take a breath, the parrots suddenly started to panic and run away.

The answer is already on the horizon.

It's probably the dolphins that are causing the parrots such a panic.

However, there seems to be a problem with such a guess.

Dolphins are creatures that live in the sea, while parrots are birds that can fly.

One is in the water and the other is in the air. Under normal circumstances, there is a relationship between the two. They shouldn't be so panicked just by seeing them.

unless……

"Wu Youcai, I..."

After running away from those parrots, Bai Jingjing looked at Wu Liang with some guilt.

"Do not blame you."

Wu Liang shook his head with a smile, and said meaningfully, "It seems that those parrots have a lot of grudges with these hogs."

"A lot of grudges?"

Everyone was puzzled.

They also have similar ideas: one is a fish, one is a bird, one is in the water, and the other is in the air, where is the grudge?
"Could it be that talented brother means..."

Only Zhuge Liang seemed to understand Wu Liang's meaning, and asked subconsciously, "Those parrots also came from this pool?"

"how come?"

Everyone was immediately more confused.

There are countless birds in the world. Even among the strange and divine birds recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing", they have never heard of any of them that can live in the water pool, which completely surpassed their imagination.

However, Wu Liang nodded, and said seriously: "We have explored to the end of this cave, and there is no other way out here except this water pool. If I have to find a way for these parrots, all I can think of is There's just this pool of water that leads to nowhere."

"And the performance of these parrots just now also confirmed my guess. They have obviously had contact with the sea pigs in the pool, and they may have been preyed by the sea pigs. That's why they behaved like this after seeing the sea pigs...Of course , I am not saying that those parrots can live in water, it is absolutely impossible, but if they live in a secret place connected to a water pool, if they want to leave the secret place, they must pass through the water pool, and if they pass through the water pool, they will be affected by the water in the pool. The predation of pigs can be explained."

Dolphins are naturally friendly to humans, and even lend a helping hand to those who fell into the water, but this does not mean that dolphins will also be friendly to other animals.

At least as far as Wu Liang knew.

Dolphins are actually carnivorous marine creatures. They feed on small and medium-sized fish in the ocean, and because they have ultrasonic waves, their predation success rate is extremely high.

Birds like parrots are not big or small. If they appear in sea water, they will of course be taken as prey by dolphins, which is basically the end of a child.

"This……"

After hearing Wu Liang's words, everyone without exception frowned, thinking about Wu Liang's words carefully.

In fact, Wu Liang's meaning has been expressed very clearly, and they can all understand it.

They just couldn't imagine what kind of secret place Wu Liang called the "secret place" in which parrots could survive.

Also.

When they saw this group of dolphins, they could already imagine that the seawater world under this pool is definitely not as simple as this pool looks like, the bottom must be ridiculously big, otherwise how could there be such a group of large marine life?
There were at least a dozen dolphins that just popped up.

The small ones of these dolphins are half a foot long, and the larger ones are even more than one foot long. If there is not enough space, such a large group of dolphins cannot stretch out at all.

So they can't imagine either.

Under such a seawater world, is there really an unknown secret realm connected?

Even if there is a secret realm, is that something they have the ability to explore?
"Everyone, let's assume that there is a secret realm connected to the bottom, and those parrots came out of the pool."

Wu Liang first gave everyone some time to digest, and then continued, "Then this water pool is what we need to focus on next, and it is actually the only direction that can be explored. Such an investigation is actually not impossible, because as far as I know, the sea pig He is naturally friendly with people and will often rescue people who fall into the water. Where there is such a group of sea pigs active, the possibility of ferocious fish nearby is extremely low. Therefore, you can choose to enter the water pool and try it out, at least find out what is going on under the water pool. No matter what the situation is, it’s not a waste of time.”

They have less than two hours left now, and they must seize all the time to verify the guess in their hearts, otherwise they can only leave with regret.

And the next time you have the opportunity to reach this place, it may be more than ten years later. For many people, this life may come to an end.

"Well, young master, you don't need to tell us these things in detail, and we may not be able to understand you if you tell us. You treat us as soldiers, and we will do what you say, as you order."

Yang Wanli immediately responded to Wu Liang's intention, stepped forward and said, "My lord wants to go into the water to find out, right? If there are any brothers who know how to swim, come over and go into the water first to see!"

"I come, but I grew up by the river, and the water is no problem."

"And me, when I was young, I used to dive underwater to touch snails."

"I'm coming too!"

This time, there were only [-] soldiers from the Tuan army who entered the ghost cave together, and suddenly six of them stood up on their own initiative, and they had already come to the edge of the pool and began to take off their clothes.

This is entirely based on trust in Wu Liang.

Since the establishment of the Huren army, except for the first time under the leadership of Cao Ting to go to Dangshan to steal the tomb of King Xiao of Liang and suffered heavy losses, since then there has been no casualty in many expeditions, and no dangers have sometimes been encountered. Wu Liang also Usually lead by example, never risking their lives.

So now Wu Liang said that these sea pigs are friendly to human beings, and that there are very few ferocious fish in the places where there are sea pigs, so they rushed to go there without any doubts.

If someone else had said this to them, they wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

After all, they have never been in contact with dolphins before, and the huge size of dolphins alone is enough to frighten them. If someone tells them that this thing is not dangerous, how can they easily believe it?
"Don't worry, go down with two people first, tie the rope and go down to see the underwater situation before talking about the next step."

Wu Liang had no choice but to step forward to stop them, and chose two of the soldiers who were more prudent on weekdays. If you don’t hold your breath or when you are in danger, you pull the rope three times in a row, and the people outside will immediately pull you up, remember, all actions are based on personal safety, do you understand?”

"promise!"

The two soldiers responded loudly, and in the blink of an eye, only their underpants were left.

"Go, I'm waiting for your good news."

Wu Liang nodded his head.

In fact, Wu Liang's water quality is too average. It's not a big problem to use a dog planer to flop a few times in the water, but diving is really a bit reluctant, otherwise he may have to lead the way this time.

But now he does have a formidable ability, and that is the "Water Controlling Art" that happened by chance.

It's a pity that until now, his "Water Controlling Art" can't do whatever he wants. Although he can occasionally generate whirlpools and roll up huge waves like in the underground secret realm of Jinyang City, he can no longer achieve the "Water Controlling Art" at the beginning. The realm of "breaking water and diverting" is displayed from time to time.

……

After a moment.

The two soldiers had already tied the ropes, took a deep breath and dived into the pool.

The rest of the people stood silently by the pool and waited for their news. No one could tell what would happen next.

in this process.

The witch made an "application" and came to Wu Liang, gave a salute and said, "Wu Taishi, can I ask you a few questions?"

"That depends on what the problem is."

Wu Liang's thoughts were all on the two soldiers who had just dived into the water, and he said absently.

"Wu Taishi's insight is admirable, and the courage of the Tuan army is rare. I have seen many armies, but I have never seen an army like yours."

The witch said to herself, "That's why I'm curious, what exactly do Wu Taishi and the Huanren Army under his command do, the name 'Huanrenjun' is supposed to be just a deception?"

"?"

Wu Liang finally looked back at the young witch.

I have to admit that Miko-ho is indeed pretty, but unfortunately, compared with the women around Wu Liang, she is not so brilliant. Otherwise, because of the status of "Himiko", the legendary queen of the Japanese country, Wu Liang might also have a little bit of "" To win glory for the country" thought.

The meaning of this matter is quite different. He can completely boast in the history books: "As early as the Yayoi era, the legendary queen of the Japanese country has been conquered by the Taishi Ling of our country!" Blowing up and down China for 5000 years.

Just like Caesar's conquest of Cleopatra in history, it may become a long-lasting epic.

of course.

It's okay to think about it, as a history "shit stir stick", Wu Liang actually doesn't want his name to appear in the history books...

Facing Wu Liang's gaze, Miko Hu finally lost her battle, lowered her head and said, "If Wu Taishi doesn't want to talk about it, that's fine. Every country, every army, and every person has their own secrets."

"In this way, can I understand that you still have secrets that you haven't confessed?"

Wu Liang immediately seized this sentence and asked back.

"..."

The witch was stunned for a moment.

If she can become the legendary queen of the Japanese country in the future, she will definitely not be a simple character, but even she is somewhat unable to parry Wu Liang, because Wu Liang's thinking is not only sharp but also jumping, and he always maintains an absolute state of suppression.

She even dared not lie to Wu Liang about some things.

Just like the matter about dolphins just now, she couldn't figure out how Wu Liang managed to understand it so deeply. This is something that even many fishermen who go fishing all the year round in the Japanese country may not be able to explain clearly.

"You took the initiative to talk to me, shouldn't it be just to disturb me?"

Wu Liang continued to ask questions like cannonballs, "About this ghost cave, or about this water pool in the ghost cave, you have already formed some speculations in your mind, haven't you?"

"Since you are the priestess of the shrine, you should be able to grasp many of the legacy left by Xu Fu back then. These legacy should include some of the places he visited, or some records about the anecdotes and strange events of the Celestial Dynasty, right? "

"And among those records, there are some records similar to this ghost cave. You are worried that we will choose to evacuate after we have no results after such an investigation. I will question what you say at that time, so you took the initiative to come up and plan to give me some tips. , so that we can continue to use us to investigate for you, isn't it?"

Naturally, Wu Liang's question was not groundless.

Just like before, he believed that following Zuo Ci would definitely gain something, this time he brought Himiko who had not yet become the queen of the Japanese kingdom with him, such a character in Wu Liang's place is no different from a treasure indicator that can walk upright, As long as you follow them, you will definitely gain something.

Facing Wu Liang's successive questions, Miko Hu was stunned for a moment, but soon she smiled calmly and said, "Wu Taishi actually has the ability to read people's hearts, right?"

"you guess."

Wu Liang gave a sloppy look and said.

"Since Wu Taishi has seen through it, I can only be honest with Wu Taishi."

The witch said, "I want to clarify one thing first. In fact, from the beginning to the end, I didn't mean to hide anything deliberately from Wu Taishi. It's just that some things are the secrets of the shrine, so it's inconvenient for outsiders to mention them. But now I take the initiative to hide anything from Wu Taishi." I came here to remind Wu Taishi that I also saw this water pool and the sea pig in the water pool, and after listening to Wu Taishi's previous analysis, I suddenly came up with some guesses, which were not deliberately concealed, nor were they used. The meaning of Wu Taishi, in my heart, Wu Taishi has been an ally of the Wa Kingdom and the shrine from the beginning to the end..."

"Long story short."

Wu Liang interrupted her very bluntly, expressing that he didn't want to hear these irrelevant scenes.

"it is good."

The witch nodded, and then said: "Wu Taishi can believe that there are islands that turn the world upside down?"

"Turning things upside down?"

Wu Liang frowned.

The earliest literal meaning of this word in ancient Chinese should be day and night reversed, and of course it was later quoted as two diametrically opposed things reversed each other.

However, what exactly does Miko call mean, but it still needs to be asked in detail.

Just at this time.

"The people below are pulling the rope, pull it quickly!"

There was a sudden commotion among the soldiers of the Tuan Army, and then the soldiers by the pool quickly began to retrieve the ropes that had fallen into the water.

After a few breaths like this, the two soldiers who entered the water had been pulled out of the pool, and they were sitting on the edge of the pool, all wet, panting heavily.

Wu Liang didn't urge them, he waited for them to catch their breath before walking forward: "How is it?"
