Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 86 Silkworm God
"Your people have seen the descendants of the Yan family, the monsters that were killed by the tomb robbers in front of you, and the legendary man-eating monsters in the nearby villages."

"They don't intermarry with outsiders. Over time, they have long disappeared. Even the descendants who survived have almost no human form."

"And I heard from my father that the entire Yan family has suffered from a kind of madness. They are often trembling and unable to control themselves, and their minds are becoming more and more unclear. Sometimes they don't understand the messages sent, and they even kill and eat the messenger sent by my family to deliver the message..."

"Later, our Bai family had to keep a distance from the Yan family, and we only sent people to visit outside the valley occasionally. If there was any news, we would just put it at the previously agreed place. As for whether the descendants of the Yan family would go to pick it up, and whether they would be able to get it, they would be able to find it. If you can't understand it, you can't control it."

This can explain why those elusive monsters fainted in front of Hao Meng's tent for no apparent reason, and were eventually captured by Hao Meng and the group was destroyed.

Hearing this, Wu Liang finally got some interest, and straightened his body to answer: "That is to say, those monsters are actually the product of inbreeding and anti-addiction?"

"What anti-addiction?"

Bai Jingjing was puzzled.

"You said just now that they cannibalize people, and the anti-addiction of ancestral meat is a strange disease that can only be caused by cannibalism. This is a curse that heaven has cast on them. Even if they are not killed, they will eventually become extinct in a short time."

Wu Liang explained half-truths.

In fact, the scientific name of this disease in later generations is called "prion".

In the 20th century, the disease was ravaged by a cannibal tribe in Oceania, and it was then that people began to pay attention to this terrible disease. Research has shown that the only way of transmission of this "prion" is cannibalism, also known as cannibalism. Therefore, it is vividly called "Ancestral Meat Anti-Addiction".

Judging from Bai Jingjing's description, the descendants of the Yan family are most likely to suffer from this disease.

In fact, it is not difficult to verify this kind of disease. Just knock on the skulls of the descendants of the Yan family and see if their brain tissue has turned into a cavernous body.

It's just that now their bodies have been burned to ashes by Hao Meng's department, so they can't be verified any more.

"Until now I still can't understand, your knowledge, eloquence, medical skills, and agility are rare in the world, and sometimes I even think you can read people's hearts, a geek like you, even in this chaotic world. It's also easy, why do you want to rob the tomb, don't you feel like you're wasting your talent?"

Bai Jingjing stared at Wu Liang's eyes for a long time, and finally shook her head regretfully.

"The bird bird knows the ambition of Honghu."

Wu Liang smiled proudly, first filled Bai Jingjing with wine, and then filled himself with wine, and then made a gesture of invitation, "Go ahead and say yours, don't get involved with me."

"The next thing is what happened recently. You should already know it, so why should I say it again?"

Bai Jingjing said.

"No, there are still some details that I don't understand, or it's better for me to ask."

Wu Liang leaned forward and said with great interest, "I want to know who removed those tomb-suppressing beasts outside the Valley of No Return before, and who are the two corpses that were buried underground in place of the tomb-suppressing beasts. masterpiece?"

"The tomb-suppressing beast was moved by our Bai family, and the two corpses are due to the Yan family's credit. After my father knew that the Yan family had captured the two, he originally wanted to bring people over for interrogation first, but he didn't expect to see them. When the two of them were together, they had only a head and a bone left. Later, when my father took someone to remove the tomb-suppressing beast, he buried the two corpses in it, so that their accomplices would see it later. , I have some fear in my heart and dare not enter the valley again."

Bai Jingjing said one by one, "As a result, we didn't even expect that two groups of tomb robbers would suddenly appear after a while. , but he is very cunning and rascal, and it is even more difficult to deal with than that group of people!"

Having said that, Bai Jingjing looked at Wu Liang with a look of "it's you who said it".

"Hey hey hey."

Wu Liangqian laughed twice, and then said, "There is another question, why did the Yan family only catch two people at a time?"

"My father said that this is a habit that they have only developed in recent years. The Yan family has a limited number of people and there is not enough salt to make dried meat. If two people are caught at once, they can eat them before they rot, and if they eat more, they will be wasted. …”

Bai Jingjing explained.

"It's still possible!?"

Wu Liang was shocked.

Before that, he thought about countless possibilities, but he never thought that it would be such a refreshing and refined reason. The man-eating monsters should pay attention to being diligent and thrifty and sustainable development?
After calming down a bit, Wu Liang said again: "So, the offense suffered by the tomb robbers in front of them should not be because of the Yan family. They are reluctant to waste 'food'."

"Yes, people are caught by them, and tricks are done by my father. It took a long time to persuade them to give up."

Bai Jingjing did not excuse the Bai family, she said frankly.

"Emmm..."

Wu Liang nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "The last question, how did the descendants of the Yan family take people away without knowing it? As far as I know, the tomb robbers in front were very closely guarded at night. I can't do it without disturbing them, not to mention that my people are monitoring the situation in the valley every day and night, and they haven't found any clues either."

"As a martial art, the Yan family has some martial arts. In the past dynasties, they have practiced a kung fu that can fly over the eaves and walk the walls. Even if they travel up and down the valleys several dozen feet high, they can still walk on the ground."

Bai Jingjing glanced at Wu Liang and said as usual, "But in addition to the accumulated practice, the key to this kind of kung fu is to rely on a treasure to assist, so others can't learn it."

"What treasure?"

Wu Liang's eyes lit up.

"Have you ever heard of the silkworm god who went extinct a long time ago?"

Bai Jingjing did not answer the question.

"Silkworm God? The Silkworm God recorded in "Shan Hai Jing"?"

Wu Liang was stunned.

"Shan Hai Jing" said: Silkworm God is a beautiful girl. She lives in the wilderness in the north, where there are tall and branchless mulberry trees. Spinning day and night.

In addition, in ancient myths and stories, there is also an allusion of "Silkworm God offering silk".

But that is the legendary god, how can there be extinction?
"My father said that the silkworm god recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" was false. Back then, the late king found a human-shaped silkworm cocoon in an ancient tomb. The silk on the silkworm cocoon was as thin as a pinky finger. It is not afraid of water but is afraid of fire, and it will burn in a moment if it is burned with fire."

"The late king also knew about the silkworm god's record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
