Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 740 I Believe in You Ghost (4000)

What is this...

In fact, Wu Liang was not without speculation.

Combined with these clothes that maintain the posture of the human body, there is also the stench that fills the entire stone house, and these black powders that also maintain the posture of the human body.

Wu Liang had already remembered what Zhen Mi had said before about "raising Shenzhi".

This kind of grass is mentioned in many historical documents. It is said that birds put the fairy grass produced in Zuzhou on the face of the dead, and the dead can be resurrected, and one plant can harvest thousands of people.

But Zhen Mi made it clear before that the so-called "Yangshenzhi" is not a fairy grass that brings people back to life.

It can indeed "resurrect" people, but the "resurrected" people become walking dead who don't know anything, and the process of body decay will not stop, and the final ending is to walk silently to an uninhabited place. The place turned into a pair of foul-smelling rot.

These were all witnessed by Zhen Mi with her own eyes. Although she couldn't tell what was going on, she was absolutely sure that this "resurrection" was definitely not the resurrection from the dead as people understood.

And the situation in the stone house.

There are many details that can match Zhen Mi's description.

If this place is indeed the legendary "Zuzhou", and there is indeed a kind of fairy grass called "Yangshenzhi" growing here, then the black powder Wu Liang sees now is very likely to be what Zhen Mi said. The muck turned into rotten soil by "the person who was revived by nourishing Shenzhi".

But there is another detail that Wu Liang can't figure out: why those parrots are so flocking to these black powders, even if he catches them all at once?

This feeling, as if those parrots are addicted to this black powder.

But when it comes to addiction, the old macaque king is also an aborigine on this mysterious island... Wu Liang turned to look at the old macaque king. He reacted calmly after seeing the black powder. Could it be that the black powder is only good for parrots? useful?
When thinking about it like this.

"Wu Taishi, can I go up and check the black soil?"

Miko Hu was obviously quite curious about these black soils, but with Wu Liang's previous warning, she did not act rashly this time, but asked for instructions.

"The composition of these black soils is unknown, so be careful."

Wu Liang took out the pair of leather gloves that he carried with him, handed one of them to the witch, and kept one for himself, then nodded and said, "If you plan to touch these black soils, you'd better bring Put on this glove."

Wu Liang had some scruples about these black soils.

If the real situation is as described by Zhen Mi, he has reason to suspect that "Yangshenzhi" is actually a terrible thing like super bacteria or mold that can activate the body of a dead body, just like the tree he encountered in Le'an before. Like "Yunyang", it can affect human beings through invisible and intangible means.

Of course, it is also possible that "Yangshenzhi" is only effective for dead bodies, and has no effect on living people like them.

After all, the historical documents only recorded that "Yangshenzhi" brought the dead back to life, but did not mention any impact on the living.

In fact, there is a huge difference between the bodies of the living and the dead.

Wu Liang once saw related research reports in later generations, which mentioned that after death, bacteria and enzymes that are not in the living body will rapidly grow in the body, thereby accelerating the decay and decomposition of human tissue... And these bacteria and Enzymes are invisible to the naked eye, making no apparent difference.

If "Yangshenzhi" is only useful for dead bodies, then it is very likely to be related to these special bacteria and molds.

"Wu Taishi's preparations are beyond imagination."

The witch took the gloves, but her beautiful eyes sized up the cloth bag that Wu Liang was carrying, and she said with some teasing, "It's rare to see a man as careful as Wu Taishi, and I've only been with Wu Taishi for a few days. , I feel that as long as I'm with Wu Taishi, I don't need to worry about anything."

"I suspect that you are tempting me, but I advise you to stop thinking about it. It's not like I haven't seen my woman before. Her appearance and posture are all excellent. There is nothing special about you that attracts me."

Wu Liang didn't understand Fengqing's way.

However, Witch Hu did not change her face because of this, instead she said deeply: "That's true, especially that beauty named Zhen Mi, even I was a little moved when I saw it... But I am not without merit .”

"I have to remind you that our time is limited, so don't waste your energy on such meaningless things."

Wu Liang didn't answer at all. After putting on the gloves, he squatted down and carefully opened the set of clothes in front of him, pulling out some of the black dirt inside.

"..."

The witch gave him a dissatisfied look, and finally stopped saying anything, and squatted down to examine the black soil carefully.

……

There is nothing special about this kind of black soil to the naked eye.

If you have to say what it looks like... Wu Liang thought of the coffee grounds left after grinding and brewing, or the black sand, because it is not completely powdery, and a large part of it remains granular.

Besides.

Wu Liang didn't see anything special about it.

And because of some scruples in his heart, Wu Liang didn't intend to pick it up and smell it for the time being, but he could find a container to put some water in it to check the dissolution.

But it will take time, and Wu Liang doesn't plan to do such an experiment right now.

So he just took out another empty small porcelain bottle from his cloth bag, put some black soil in it, sealed it with a stopper, and waited to make plans when he got outside.

The result was while he was doing it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Miko Hu holding up a handful of black soil with her gloved hands, and then slowly moved her face closer, as if she wanted to smell it right now.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Wu Liang quickly stopped it.

"As you can see, it's just a smell, and I'd like to taste it if I have to."

The witch said it was a matter of course.

taste...

Wu Liang only felt that his head was big, and he said subduedly: "You know what it is and you still want to taste it. If this thing is poisonous or has some bad effects, it will kill you. Are you not afraid of death? "

"Scared."

The witch nodded, but then said, "But there are some things that need pioneers to try. Your country has "Shen Nong distinguishes medicines and tastes herbs" a long time ago. Without this brave man who dares to try, your country will not exist. Isn't the enviable agriculture and medicine industry, as well as your tea ceremony, also the result of this brave man?"

"This... is clearly two different things, right?"

Wu Liang was questioned.

She was so right, I was speechless.

I am a majestic Taishi Ling who is familiar with ancient and modern times, but I was questioned by a Japanese woman with historical facts about the Celestial Dynasty...

"How are they two different things? Even if Shennong tasted grass, as far as I know, alchemists in your country have always used gold and stone to refine medicines and take them in order to live forever and prolong life. This must be the same thing Bar?"

Witch Hu blinked her eyes again and said, "And those parrots can be eaten, I'll try it and think it will be fine... please rest assured Wu Taishi, this matter is my own initiative, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with Wu Taishi, Wu Taishi Taishi doesn't have to carry burdens in his heart."

Well... this problem is even more serious.

It's not just those alchemists. In this way, even Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, who are more than [-] people, can be regarded as pioneers who have the courage to test poison. These two were addicted to taking that kind of pills before they were alive. Did they damage their bodies in the end? It's hard to say, anyway, I didn't seek longevity.

But Wu Liang thought again.

It's hard to talk about a ghost who is going to die.

Since Miko Hu insisted on tasting it, and he persuaded him, he had a clear conscience. In fact, there was no need to insist on stopping a Japanese from being a guinea pig.

On the contrary, this move can also help Wu Liang obtain first-hand experimental data, and have a more specific and detailed understanding of this black soil.

Also.

Wu Liang once again remembered the identity of Miko Ho - the legendary Queen Himiko.

It is very likely that she has been here in history, and she may have tasted this black soil, and then she quickly rose to become a legendary queen after returning, and as a shrine maiden, maybe there is something about this kind of black soil in the shrine's literature. The relevant records of the black soil, so there is this kind of unclear courage.

"Please."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang finally stopped blocking him.

He and Miko Hu are not enemies now, and he is not too worried about Miko Hu gaining some unexpected abilities after tasting the black soil to attack him.

What's more, Wu Liang also has black soil in his hands now. If this thing really has some miraculous effects, Wu Liang can also have it.

then.

Witch Hu just put the black soil under her nose in front of Wu Liang and sniffed it gently twice.

Seeing her frown, Wu Liang frowned instantly. It could be seen that the smell of this thing was indeed not very good. In fact, this was in Wu Liang's expectation, otherwise, where would the stench in the stone house come from.

Can you still taste it?

Wu Liang drew a big question mark in his heart.

However, he still underestimated Miko Hu's endurance, she actually opened her mouth, and then slowly stretched her pink tongue towards the black soil in her palm...

"~~~"

Wu Liang felt a shock in his heart.

If this happened before Miko Hu drowned, he would never give the girl artificial respiration, even if he had to watch her pulse completely disappear.

At the same time, Miko Hu's impression in Wu Liang's heart also dropped a lot.

This is more contrasting than seeing a rather handsome girl sitting on the bed picking her feet, and finally stuffing what was snapped off her feet into her mouth.

Not to mention the witch, but even if Zhen Mi did something similar, Wu Liang would not be able to face her seriously in the future.

next second.

"Oh shit—"

Not surprisingly, Miko Ho's tongue had just been stained with black soil, and she retracted it into her mouth and immediately vomited.

"How about it?"

Wu Hao asked curiously.

"Gollum!"

Witch Huzhen is a ruthless person. In this situation, she was still reluctant to spit out the black soil, but forced herself to swallow it, and then stretched out her hand to Wu Liang, and said to him, "It melts in the mouth, and it's a little sweet." , Wu Taishi, why don't you try it too?"

I believe you a ghost!
Wu Liang resolutely jumped away and refused: "No, you can eat more if it tastes good. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy this kind of food. I'm asking how do you feel?"

"Except for the smell, which is hard to swallow, there is no special feeling for the time being."

The witch shook her head, took out a small bottle from her bosom, imitated what Wu Liang did before, stuffed it with some black soil and stuffed it.

"Is there any record about this kind of black soil in Waguo Shrine?"

Wu Liang asked tentatively.

"No."

The witch shook her head again, but then added, "However, there is a pottery jar left by Qin Zhixu Jun in the shrine. What, until a few years ago when I was cleaning the shrine, I accidentally knocked this clay pot to the ground, and the pot turned into broken pottery fragments on the ground, and then I discovered that the pot was actually empty."

"and then?"

Wu Liang knew that Miko Hu hadn't finished speaking, so he asked cooperatively.

"Although the clay pot is empty, there is a foul smell inside, which is somewhat similar to the smell here. In addition, I also found traces of a little black powder on the inner wall of the pot. It’s somewhat similar to the black soil here, I don’t know if it’s the same thing.”

The witch continued, "After that, there was a vision: I overturned the pottery pot left behind by Mr. Xu Jun of Qin Dynasty, so I was afraid that people would find it, so I quickly cleaned up the pottery fragments and found another pottery pot Amulets were pasted on to conceal people’s eyes and ears, and the broken pottery fragments were thrown in the woods behind the shrine by me, and I dug a small pit to bury them.”

"I didn't expect that hundreds of birds gathered in that forest early the next morning. When I ran over to look, those birds had already dug out the broken pottery fragments I had buried, and used their beaks to scoop out the broken pottery shards that I had buried. The pottery shards were pecked into smaller pieces and eaten... At that time, I was terrified. I thought it was because what I did had offended the ancestor gods. Therefore, the ancestor gods sent a vision to express their anger, and they would punish me soon .”

"So I quickly knelt in front of the statue of the ancestor god and kowtowed to plead guilty, begging the ancestor god to forgive my sins."

"A day later, those flying birds all dispersed, and those broken pottery fragments had long since disappeared without a trace. I thought it was my sincere repentance that appeased the anger of the ancestor gods. The phenomenon appeared, and I was free from illness and calamity, so I gradually forgot about it.”

"It wasn't until I saw the behavior of the group of parrots that I suddenly remembered that incident back then."

"The similar smell, the similar black powder, and the similar behavior of those flying birds, I suspect that what was once contained in the clay pot was this kind of black soil."

"Since Mr. Xu of Qin used a spell to seal it up and never told anyone what was inside it, this is enough to show that the contents of the clay pot are of great significance to Mr. Xu of Qin..."
