Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 849 Wu Zhi Qi (4000)

"Boom!"

A louder sound came, and the mountain shook more violently.

All the people in the Huan army could only hold hands and firmly hold each other according to Wu Liang's instructions, and they could barely stand by supporting each other.

Wu Liang felt that the earthquake felt at least as high as a magnitude [-] earthquake. In fact, a magnitude [-] earthquake could already cause a certain degree of damage, and a magnitude [-] earthquake might even cause a certain degree of geological changes. There are mountains and low trees, and there are no human-inhabited buildings, so as long as this holy mountain does not collapse, it should not cause serious disasters.

at the same time.

"Young master, look over there!"

Amidst the shock, many people's attention was attracted by some changes at the foot of the mountain, and a strong look of surprise appeared on their faces.

In fact, Wu Liang had already noticed these changes without everyone reminding him.

I saw that in the waters of the Yellow River where they forcibly crossed the Yellow River outside the secret realm, the river was churning violently for some reason.

Was it a vision caused by the earthquake?
Wu Liang frowned.

Severe earthquakes can indeed cause relevant changes. Some severe submarine earthquakes in later generations may even trigger terrible tsunamis, often bringing terrible natural disasters to coastal cities, taking countless lives and causing incalculable losses.

But soon this idea was overthrown by Wu Liang.

Because the next moment he vaguely saw a huge figure in the turbid water of the Yellow River.

It was a huge shadow with a length of 20 meters and a width of four or five meters. Because it had not surfaced, Wu Liang could not see its specific shape for the time being.

But one thing is certain, this giant is definitely alive, it is swimming in the muddy water of the Yellow River, but the speed of swimming is not fast.

"This is……"

Wu Liang couldn't see what it was.

But it is undeniable that there are indeed some such giants in nature, especially in the vast ocean. For example, the blue whale, which is well-known to the world in later generations, can grow to a length of 33 meters and weigh 180 tons. Blue whales are not big in front of them.

So is this thing a giant in the sea?
Wu Liang couldn't help looking at the downstream waterway that split into two waterways in front of the holy mountain and formed a waterfall into the sea, and first ruled out this possibility.

Giants have the advantages of giants, but at the same time there are disadvantages that are difficult to change.

For example, the most common danger encountered by giants in the sea is stranding. Every year in later generations, many giant whales accidentally run aground when they swim to the shallows, and eventually become a corpse that may explode at any time.

And judging from the waterway at the mouth of the Yellow River at this time.

It is absolutely impossible for any sea giant of this size to come to this place through the waterfall upstream, and the terrain drop alone is an obstacle that they will never be able to cross.

So this thing... is definitely something that exists in the Yellow River itself!

But what it is, Wu Liang has no idea, at least as far as he knows, it is absolutely impossible for all known species in the Yellow River to grow to such a size, even the Yellow River, which is often called the Dragon King because of its huge size Carp, they also cannot reach such a degree.

and.

This is a small world completely different from the outside world!

At least for now, except for Hua Tuo and those strange insects, Wu Liang has not seen any living things in this small world, no birds, beasts, mosquitoes, snakes and ants. This place is like a restricted area for life.

"My lord, could this earthquake be caused by that big underwater thing?"

Yu Ji held Yang Wanli's arm tightly to prevent himself from falling during the earthquake, but he still did not forget to put forward his opinion to Wu Liang, "We have been to the river bank over there before. At that time, the water in the Yellow River was stable, and the island was It is stable and calm, but at this moment, the earth is shaking, the mountains are shaking, the waves are surging, and the big thing also appears, and the old man feels that it must have an inevitable connection with these changes."

"Although that thing is big, it shouldn't cause such a huge vibration under normal circumstances."

Wu Liang tried his best to look at this issue from a scientific point of view.

However, if that thing is not a normal animal in nature, then it is hard to say. After all, "Shan Hai Jing" has recorded some strange creatures that would cause major natural disasters if they appeared, but these strange creatures have not been verified in later generations , it is impossible to determine whether it actually exists.

"Gentleman, is it related to what happened when we crossed the river?"

Zhen Mi analyzed relatively calmly, "The place where this giant monster appeared coincided with the gathering of floating corpses outside, and it was also very close to the place where we were in distress..."

Wu Liang focused: "You mean, this thing can break through the barrier and exist between the outside world and this small world at the same time?"

This possibility is not impossible.

Things that can break through this barrier are not unique, such as the Yellow River.

The Yellow River has only flowed through this place in a diversion in recent years, and this place has also undergone corresponding changes, becoming the mouth of the Yellow River. This is enough to prove that this barrier is not impossible to break through, and the two worlds are not impossible. influence each other.

However, the trees, creatures, and the tiankeng in this small world distinguish the two worlds and have no influence on each other.

Therefore, this issue needs further investigation, which seems to be related to the nature of this small world.

"exactly."

Zhen Mi nodded slightly, "We have to cross the river when we leave, and I'm afraid we will encounter those strange insects at the bottom. If we can find out this problem, maybe we can solve this problem."

"Um……"

Wu Liang still looked at the huge shadow under the water, pondering in his heart.

Zhen Mi was right.

But whether there is any connection between those strange insects at the bottom of the water and this behemoth remains to be discussed. After all, this behemoth seems to be a complete whole, but those strange insects are some separate individuals, and it should not feel like the same thing.

of course.

Some social animals also gather together to camouflage giants to defend against foreign enemies. Some fish schools in the sea use this method to scare away predators.

Thinking of these, Wu Liang hoped that the huge monster would surface more and more.

If he can see its body, then he can make a preliminary judgment.

Wu Liang even wanted to use the "Water Control Technique" to help him, but unfortunately this place is still too far away, and the "Water Control Technique" cannot work at all.

Just when Wu Liang was thinking so.

"Oh? It doesn't seem to shake anymore!"

The holy mountain under his feet suddenly stopped shaking, and everyone in the Huan army finally stabilized.

Wu Liang was still staring at the huge shadow under the water.

Under his gaze, the water surface gradually returned to calm, and the shadow also kept getting smaller, and it disappeared completely after only a few seconds.

Everything was as if nothing had ever happened.

"The big thing sank, and everything finally returned to calm."

Zhen Mi then looked at Wu Liang and said, "Gentleman, this concubine feels more and more that the change in Cai just now has something to do with it, and it must have led all of this."

"It can cause earthquakes, and it can also set off huge waves..."

Wu Liang turned back and asked, "Mi'er, you have seen a lot, but did you ever know of something with such great power?"

"This……"

Zhen Mi pondered deeply, and then suddenly said after a while, "I do think of something. Although I haven't seen this thing with my own eyes, I can prove that it does exist, and it appeared in the lower reaches of the Yellow River."

"what?"

Wu Liang regained his spirits immediately.

Everyone in the Huan Renjun also pricked up their ears, listening carefully to Zhen Mi's next words.

"This thing is called 'Wu Zhi Qi'."

Zhen Mi said solemnly, "'Wuzhiqi' is a very powerful water monster. When Dayu was controlling the water, Wuzhiqi often came out to make troubles and obstruct it. Once it appeared, it would make wind and thunder, trees and stones, and it was with us. The situation just now encountered is very similar, and later Dayu invited many capable men and strangers to help, and it took several years of hard work to finally capture him, and then he was able to continue to control the water."

In front of others, Zhen Mi would usually only refer to Emperor Yu as Dayu, and only when talking to Wu Liang in private would she call him a "dead ghost" or a "short-lived ghost".

"Hiss... as far as I know, this 'Wuzhiqi' should be a water monkey?"

Yu Ji immediately objected when he heard the words, "Moreover, it is recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" that 'Wu Zhi Qi' is the water god of the Huai River. This thing should be active in the lower reaches of the Huai River. After Qi' was captured, he seemed to be suppressed in the Huai River, so it should have nothing to do with the Yellow River, right?"

This matter is indeed recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing".

And it has been passed down to later generations, forming the folk story of "King Yu Locking Jiao", and there is even a "Zhiqi Well" related to it in later generations.

However, as far as Wu Liang knows, this "Zhiqi Well" was not built in ancient times at all, nor was it built in the pre-Qin period when "Shan Hai Jing" was written, so it should be built by people of later generations according to folklore.

Also.

Wu Liang also knew things that these people didn't know.

For example, Monkey King in the four great classics of later generations "Journey to the West", the prototype is the legendary "Wuzhiqi", which is a monster created by Wu Chengen through certain artistic processing.

There is no doubt that it is absolutely impossible for everyone in the Liren Army to have read "Journey to the West"...

"The old man does not know that the "Shan Hai Jing" was written later, and it has been thousands of years since Dayu controlled the floods. The records in it may not be fully believed."

Zhen Mi retorted, "At least as far as I know, Wuzhiqi was not active in the Huai River when Dayu was controlling the waters. It's just suppression, such a calamity Dayu would never teach it to stay in the world, otherwise the matter of water control will never be done."

"This……"

Yu Ji finally stopped talking, because this has already involved his blind spot of knowledge.

Wu Liang continued to ask: "Mi'er, I would like to know if it is true that 'Wuzhiqi' is a water monkey?"

"That's true. Although this thing is a water monster, it looks like an ape."

Zhen Mi nodded slightly, but continued as if she had seen through Wu Liang's thoughts, "But a gentleman doesn't have to be influenced by my concubine, I just mentioned something with similar power, and the shadow of that big thing just now doesn't look like it. It is an ape, so it may not be Wuzhiqi, not to mention that Wuzhiqi was killed by Dayu long ago."

"Ah."

Wu Liang didn't bother with this question, and continued to think about it.

Dead dragon pattern.

A giant water monster that can cause earthquakes and tsunamis.

Emperor Yan, Shennong and Jiang.

Worms and monsters.

"Bian Que" organization and doctors...

The clues we have so far are very messy. Some seem to be connected, but there is no conclusive evidence, and some are simply irrelevant. It is really impossible to provide effective help to Wu Liang.

finally.

"Doctor Hua, what do you think about this matter?"

Wu Liang looked at Hua Tuo, who was looking dazed, and asked.

In this clueless situation, Hua Tuo, who was destined to get rid of the strange poison and even be inherited, naturally became Wu Liang's greatest reliance, and he was a key in Wu Liang's eyes.

"Huh? Wu Taishi is asking me?"

Hua Tuo was stunned for a moment, even took two steps back subconsciously, and waved his hands again and again, "Wu Taishi really thinks highly of me. The things you said are like heavenly scriptures to me. It's rare for me to hear a half-knowledge. Where are you?" What else would you think?"

……

Next, Wu Liang conducted a detailed investigation on the top of the holy mountain, but unfortunately he did not find anything of value.

Since then, the exploration of this secret place has reached a stalemate.

At the same time, the matter of removing the strange poison is also in trouble, and this is the core goal of Wu Liang's trip, otherwise the backbone of the Zhuan army may be wiped out.

Wu Liang didn't know what to do.

So he decided to lead the people to move the camp to the side of the Tiankeng, and temporarily become neighbors with Hua Tuo, so that Hua Tuo's every move is under his control, and he will not miss any key information.

As for the behemoth that once appeared in the water.

Although Wu Liang and the others in the Huan army were full of curiosity, they decided not to provoke them for the time being. At this moment, they could not protect themselves, so they should cooperate with Hua Tuo to remove the strange poison on their bodies before talking about other things.

So wait until the people of the Guren army move the tents over.

The sky gradually darkened, and everyone built a bonfire to feed on the wild game and fresh meat caught outside earlier, and lived a relatively prosperous life.

And Hua Tuo also followed them to get dirty, and the smile on his face was full of satisfaction.

He has indeed suffered a lot in recent days.

Unlike the Huan army, although he was not attacked by strange insects in the water and lost his supplies when he came, the food he carried alone was limited after all, so he could only save as much as possible during this period of time, and even had to pay for food. Look for some edible weeds to satisfy your hunger here.

After drinking and eating, everyone who had been tossing all day was immediately kidnapped by tiredness, and soon fell into a dream.

So I don't know how long I slept, but it should be the middle of the night according to the sky.

"Boom!"

The earth-shaking vibrations came again.
