Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 879 Cutting Trees (4100)

"Repression?"

Wu Liang frowned even more when he heard this.

This was a new way of thinking that he had never thought of before, and judging from the actual situation in front of him, the lock dragon pillar really seemed to be suppressing the large pure copper pillar below it.

As for why this is so...

Combining the various details discovered before and the shape of these copper pillars, it can be deduced that it is a strange copper tree, and it may still be a copper tree that has been alive so far.

Although it is still unclear what kind of tree this copper tree is and what special features it has, it is not difficult to see that it has encountered the same thing as the completely decayed community tree found before. Its trunk was cut off at the root, and such a lock dragon pillar comparable to a hill was erected on it.

Under such circumstances, even if the copper tree still maintains a certain vitality, it may be difficult to continue to grow... This can naturally be regarded as a kind of suppression, and it is a literal suppression.

But Wu Liang felt that neither the copper tree nor the lock dragon pillar was as simple as it seemed.

Not to mention what's special about the Locking Dragon Pillar, the copper tree alone has surpassed the category of normal trees. If it is indeed as vigorous as Yu Ji's analysis, it can already be compared with the "sacred tree" The two words were equated, just like the bronze tree that was suspected to be a hibiscus tree he had seen in the Western Regions before.

"When Zhuge Liang said this, the old man also felt that the setting here is a bit overwhelming, but I don't know what the ancients set up the lock dragon pillar to suppress. Could it be that the copper tree below is actually an ominous thing?"

Yu Ji's old face also wrinkled, and asked with some worry.

This is exactly what Wu Liang was thinking about.

If Suolongzhu was suppressing something ominous, then they couldn't act rashly, otherwise, if something extraordinary was released, the situation between him and the Huan army would only be more difficult.

correct!

When he was thinking like this, Wu Liang suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said to the cured big dog: "Big dog, you used to play here when you were young, did you see this lock dragon in this place at that time?" column?"

This Dragon Locking Pillar is not small, and it was not submerged by the Yellow River back then. If the big dog had been here, he might have seen it...Of course, it was outside this secret realm.

"If you go back to Wu Taishi, the villain really doesn't remember that there is such a big stone pillar here."

Big Dog quickly replied.

"That is to say, either there is no such dragon lock pillar outside."

Wu Liang pondered deeply, "Either the Suolongzhu has been buried tightly in the ground, not even showing its head... After all, when the riverbed was still submerged by the Yellow River, the Suolongzhu was completely hidden under the water level. Therefore, without measuring, it can be concluded that the highest point of the Suolongzhu is also lower than the three gate towers. Therefore, it is reasonable for it to be completely buried in the ground. Until later, this place became the mouth of the Yellow River. The soil was gradually washed away by the water of the Yellow River, and it was finally exposed."

Speaking of which, the villagers of Sanmen Village sent people to explore this secret place many years ago, and the rumors in the village seem to have never mentioned this Suolongzhu, which is more spectacular and taller than the three gate towers...

As such.

There is no way to judge whether the Suolongzhu only exists in this secret realm, or exists in the secret realm and the outside world at the same time.

In fact, Wu Liang's pursuit of this issue was also an attempt to make a preliminary judgment on the copper tree under the lock dragon pillar.

If the Locking Dragon Column only exists in this secret realm, then the Copper Tree Transformation should also only exist in this secret realm, otherwise without the suppression of the Locking Dragon Column, it is very likely that it will break out of the ground again from the outside world.

And if the Locking Dragon Pillar exists in the secret realm and the outside world at the same time, then this copper tree may also exist in the secret realm and the outside world at the same time.

It's a pity that even now, he can't make an accurate judgment on this question...

"Hua Miracle Doctor, you have previously learned through your travels that this secret realm is actually supported by Ying Long's residual energy, which means that Ying Long should be the master of this secret realm...and everything in this secret realm is naturally only It is the clearest, please recall carefully, have you heard anything related to this lock dragon pillar and copper tree during your fugue, even if it is a very vague word?"

In desperation, Wu Liang had no choice but to pin his hopes on Hua Tuo.

"This……"

Hua Tuo's expression had already given Wu Liang the answer, and he probably didn't know anything about it, but at Wu Liang's request, he still pondered.

After a moment.

"I'm sorry Wu Taishi, I really can't remember anything related to this..."

Hua Tuo showed apology on his face, and shook his head helplessly, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly added, "By the way, this matter has nothing to do with Suolongzhu and Tongshu, but I think it is necessary to talk to Wu Taishi explained, as far as I know, Yinglong is not actually the master of this secret realm, it is just trapped here with some things that shouldn't be left in the world, if it wasn't for the hard support of its remaining spirit, those things would have nothing to do with it. I'm afraid it has already disappeared into nothingness together with this secret place... that's all I know, as for what is trapped here with Ying Long, I can't say clearly."

"Things that shouldn't be left in the world?"

Everyone couldn't help being even more confused when they heard the words.

What kind of thing would it be to be trapped in this secret realm with Yinglong, and something that shouldn't be left in the world?

If that thing refers to the copper tree suppressed by Suolongzhu, you don't need to think about it to know that it must be a big deal...

at the same time.

Wu Liang thought of another question.

This tung tree is different from ordinary trees. Ordinary trees will gradually decay after being cut down. After thousands of years, not even a trace can be seen, but this tung tree is made of stable pure copper. After that, it will gradually be oxidized, but it will never disappear.

So where did the cut part of the copper tree go?

Could it be that those armors and weapons were made by the people of Jiuli Kingdom?

This is the reason why the Jiuli Kingdom surpassed other tribes and was able to "use gold as a soldier", not the "wet copper smelting" that Wu Liang thought before?
But if you think about it carefully, there are more loopholes in this guess.

If this copper tree is the main source of copper used by Jiuli State, then neither the people of Jiuli State nor the Yellow Emperor who finally defeated Jiuli State would treat this copper tree like this. On the contrary, they should It will also protect its good life, so as long as the copper tree keeps growing, they can get inexhaustible pure copper, which is much more powerful than the copper smelting technology of later generations.

But it turned out that this copper tree was not only damaged so badly, it was also suppressed here by Suolongzhu.

And after the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You and completed the great unification, he should not have obtained the "technology" of Jiuli Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that the Celestial Dynasty did not gradually enter the Bronze Age until the Xia and Shang Dynasties thousands of years later...

or……

Could it be that this copper tree was destroyed by the Jiuli Kingdom itself after the defeat of the war, and the lock dragon pillar was also erected by the Jiuli Kingdom itself, in order to make this copper tree buried in the ground forever, so as not to teach the Yellow Emperor to control the Jiuli Kingdom? secret?

But how should Yinglong explain it?

It seems to be from the Yellow Emperor's side, so how could it be buried in the land of Jiuli Kingdom, and trapped here together with "things that shouldn't be left in the world"?
……

Headache!

Wu Liang rubbed his temples vigorously.

He had explored many ancient tombs and monuments before, and had never encountered such a situation today.

At least those ancient tombs and monuments left some written materials more or less, and he was able to roughly figure out the relevant background before going deep, but this secret place has always been in the clouds, and even now he is not sure about this place Whether it is the ruins of Jiuli Kingdom, everything can only be guessed.

Most importantly, the time left for him is really running out.

Although everyone in the Huan army is trying their best to endure, Wu Liang knows that under such intense physical labor, the impact of hunger has become more and more obvious, and many soldiers of the Huan army have begun to walk. Fluttering, this is a phenomenon that only occurs when the muscles start to dissolve in the detoxification state, they are about to reach their limit...

What still supports them now is their trust and admiration for Wu Liang.

If they hadn't been the Huren army, if they hadn't been Wu Liang's subordinates, other armies would have mutinied long ago, and they were not far away from "human cannibalism".

As for the three little wild boars and the big rooster, they haven't been slaughtered yet.

Although everyone's eyes would glow green every time they saw them, Wu Liang still insisted on keeping them.

He hoped that everyone here could leave alive, so he had to keep them, and when someone couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a coma, he would kill the three little wild boars and the big rooster and make soup for those who needed it most. Life.

"Yang Wanli, leave this to me. You can take everyone to continue digging nearby to see if you can find other more valuable things."

Wu Liang knew that no time should be wasted at this moment, let alone any clues, so he turned around and gave orders to Yang Wanli.

"promise!"

Yang Wanli responded, and waved to the soldiers of the Tuan Army, "Follow me, brothers."

"promise."

All the people in the Huan army answered feebly, carrying the engineering shovels.

It's not that they have a negative attitude, it's just that their bodies are already very weak. After all, it took a day and a night to excavate this copper tree. Under such a huge physical exertion, they didn't get any supplements except water. easy.

"Ugh……"

Looking at their backs, Hua Tuo let out a sigh, and quietly came to Wu Liang and said, "Wu Taishi, I'm afraid it won't work if this goes on. From their looks, I'm afraid they are not far away from the corpse..."

The so-called "shijue" means fainting.

Wu Liang naturally understood, but at the moment he had nothing to do.

To be honest, as long as he can bring everyone out of here alive, he doesn't even mind using the meat of those floating corpses as food supplements, even if he cheats, he will trick everyone into eating it. At most, in order to prevent infection with prions, he just doesn't want to teach everyone to eat their brains... ...But it is obviously not feasible, those floating corpses have been severely decomposed, if they are eaten rashly, the entire army of the Huren army may be wiped out by all kinds of terrible diseases before they starve to death.

"At that time, I will ask Miracle Physician Hua to take care of me and try my best to teach everyone to live longer, until I can find a way to leave this secret place."

Wu Liang hid his eyes in the shadows and said in a hoarse voice.

"……Ugh!"

Hua Tuo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

While speaking, Wu Liang had already left him and came to the copper tree under the Suolong pillar, took off his gloves and put his hand on the only remaining tree trunk that was one meter high.

It feels cool to the touch and looks like real metal.

Wu Liang could no longer care about those archaeological principles at the moment, and then he took out a copper dagger and cut a knife on the trunk. The surface of the trunk was easily peeled off like a piece of rubber.

Fuchsia, soft texture, it is indeed pure copper as expected.

However, this discovery is of no use...

"Dian Wei, split this copper tree!"

Wu Liang suddenly said harshly to Dian Wei.

"what?"

Dian Wei thought he had heard wrong.

Everyone also looked at Wu Liang with some doubts, not quite understanding what his intentions were, or what had he discovered?
"Cleave a hole in this copper tree. I want to see if there is something in it, whether it is flowing blue liquid like those roots."

Wu Liang explained his intention in detail.

"promise."

Only then did Dian Wei walk forward with his halberd on his shoulders. Seeing Wu Liang nodding his head again for confirmation, he waved his halberd and slashed at the side of the copper tree.

An incision about 30 cm long appeared immediately.

Everyone stretched their necks to look, but they didn't see the expected picture of the blue liquid gushing out of the copper tree.

On the contrary, everything is calm and somewhat disturbing.

"Hey!"

Dian Wei pulled hard, and took the halberd back from the incision.

One side of the cut was then rolled up, making the cut a little bigger.

But still nothing gushed out from the copper tree, only a drop of red liquid quietly condensed from the edge of the cut.

At this moment, the drop of red liquid was slowly sliding down the tree, leaving a crooked red mark on the trunk.

"Blood?"

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. Although they were not sure what the red liquid was, the first thing everyone thought of was blood...

at this time.

"Young master, absolutely do not cut it off!"

Yu Ji immediately showed shock, and hurriedly said to Wu Liang, "I heard that the tree bleeds after being cut, that means the tree has become a transcendent spiritual thing. Such a tree often has great power. If someone cuts it There will be retribution, Brother Dianwei, you also quickly retreat, so as not to be harmed by it!"

"..."

Wu Liang looked back at the startled Yu Ji, and said to himself, why did he seem to have seen this scene before... By the way, Boss Cao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" seemed to be in trouble because of this, and Boss Cao just didn't listen to the local people Dissuading him from cutting down a big tree that would bleed, he passed out on the spot and suffered from a headwind.

But that's still a fabricated plot in the novel, so it can't be taken seriously...

When I really thought about it.

There was a muffled sound of "bang".

"Brother Dianwei?"

Everyone turned pale with shock when they followed the prestige, and saw that Dian Wei had fallen on his back without any warning for some reason, with his eyes closed tightly, not knowing whether he was alive or dead!
