Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 129 The fierce lake that sucks souls! (The first update of Chapter 4000)
"Ok?"

After hearing Yu Ji's words, Wu Liang stopped immediately.

Could it be that this old man really mastered the art of geomancy?
And really have the ability to help him reverse the location of the mausoleum?
Seeing Yu Ji's sincere expression, Wu Liang was surprised but also a little bit convinced...

After all, as he said, the art of geomancy is different from other alchemy. It is a "science" that can be followed. It is possible.

It's not as metaphysical as the divination he pretended, or the alchemy of bigu, breathing, returning to the gods...etc.

but.

Wu Liang didn't believe in Yu Ji.

It's not that he is worried that Yu Ji will go out and talk about the actions of the Liren Army and ruin Boss Cao's reputation. Boss Cao's reputation in this regard does not need to be damaged at all, and it is already known to all generations.

Even in this era, not long after, a scholar named Chen Lin published an article called "For Yuan Shao Yuzhou", publicly condemning Boss Cao's evil deeds of specially making Qiu Zhonglang, Mojin Xiaowei, and robbing graves everywhere. ... As for how it was exposed, it is hard to say. Soldiers of the Huren Army and officials who know the inside story cannot control the mouths of every insider.

At that time, Boss Cao was suffering from a headache and was sick in bed. Because he was lying down and reading Chen Lin's essay, he broke out in a cold sweat.

You see, this turned out to be a good thing.

And later, Boss Cao didn’t care about this at all. After Yuan Shao’s son Yuan Shang was completely destroyed, Chen Lin, who wrote "For Yuan Shao Yuzhou", joined Boss Cao, and Boss Cao still used him, and even praised him for his good writing. He ordered him to manage the recording room, and specially wrote military and state books for Boss Cao.

Therefore, Wu Liang is actually not worried that Boss Cao will punish him because of the exposure of the Huan army.

A big hero like Boss Cao, who has been criticized for many things all over his body, and doesn't itch if he has too many lice, would he care about such an insignificant matter?

He was mainly concerned about his own safety.

Grave robbery is a matter with a high risk factor. In today's war-torn era, apart from the faction of the warlords, in addition to being careful of the enemy troops of the opposing faction, as well as the anti-theft mechanisms and traps of the tomb owner, you must also be extra careful of your teammates!
There is a saying that "wealth and silk touch people's hearts".

People's hearts are separated from each other, and when there are really a lot of golden treasures in front of them, it is inevitable that some people with unscrupulous minds will have scheming thoughts, especially those who will go to the grave together.

Like Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing.

One is a well-known historical general who knows his roots and is famous for his loyalty.

The other one is a stubborn tomb guard, and he has a deadly handle in his hands... The exact location of Guangchuan King Liu's tomb and the current mechanism, even if he is killed, he can arrange someone to go to the tomb guard in advance He took it all in one go, and completely destroyed the mausoleum.

So you can absolutely trust.

But Yu Ji belongs to the kind of Jianghu alchemist who can only believe half of ten sentences. There are very few records of his character in history, and the records in official history are slightly negative...

Such a person can't be given too much trust before he grasps his dead spot.

Otherwise, it is irresponsible for your own life and career!

Therefore, even if Wu Liang intends to test Yu Ji's skill in the tomb of Haihunhou, he will not trust him easily, let alone let him join the Huan army to go to the tomb so soon.

even.

Wu Liang thought for a while, why don't he just verify his skill in public affairs first?
Then they asked the soldiers to take him away from the scene and put him under surveillance, not letting him know what the Huren army had done at all, so as to avoid any trouble on the way home. This is the safest way.

then.

"What's so difficult about this?"

Wu Liang said with a smile, "But before that, the old man has to help me find the ancestral grave, otherwise I still have some doubts about the old man's ability to look at public affairs."

"It's natural."

Yuji nodded.

"In addition, the old man will probably have to serve me for at least three years. Of course, these three years will not be wasted. I will teach the old man a unique meditation secret. I will tell the old man that when I opened my eyes and started divination The secret technique took three full years."

Wu Liang smiled again and said, "After the old man opens his eyes, I will teach you the essentials of divination and secret arts one by one, and I will never break my promise."

Wu Liang is best at climbing along poles. Since Yu Ji said that he can make any request, Wu Liang will naturally not be polite to him.

As for three years later...

Destiny!

Qualification!

Just now Yu Ji mentioned these two crucial factors for "becoming an immortal". If Yu Ji's destiny and aptitude are really not enough, Wu Liang can't help it, right?
As for Yu Ji's art of public opinion, Wu Liang is actually not sure if he has the "destiny" and "qualification" to learn.

Anyway, do your best.

As for why later generations also had the "Taiping Qingling Jing", those well-known archaeologists could not grasp the essentials of the art of geomancy after reading it, Wu Liang felt that it might have something to do with inheritance.

It is reported that this book had a total of 170 volumes at the earliest time, but it was already incomplete when it was handed down to the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

In the end, it was lost to later generations, and there are only 67 volumes left, of which 10 volumes are not "Taiping Qingling Jing" at all, but "Taiping Jingchao".

In this way, it was not until 1960 that it was edited, copied and put together again, and the outline of the 170 volumes was barely restored.

But this is no longer the original.

It is equivalent to the fake cheats circulated in martial arts novels, not to mention that cultivation is indispensable, and it may lead people astray.

"Thank you sir."

Yu Ji nodded happily, and then said, "Actually, this old man fully understood the "Taiping Qingling Jing" chapter on geomancy, and used it for three full years. It will take more time and effort to master the essentials."

Sure enough, it is adultery to grow old and not die!
I've been here for you for three years, and you've been here for me for three years. You don't want to suffer at all!

Then we'll see.

Let's see who can have the last laugh!
Wu Liang cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it. He grinned and said with a laugh: "In that case, come on, make room for the old man in the carriage, don't exhaust the old man!"

"Then thank you son for taking care of me."

Yu Ji also waited for the car honestly and unceremoniously. At his age, his legs and feet could not keep up with the pace of the Huan army.

"Oh yes, there is one more thing."

Wu Liang suddenly thought of something again, Sao Sao smiled and raised his eyebrows and asked Ji in a low voice, "Mr., how much do you know about housework?"

The "fangzhong" here refers not only to that kind of thing, but to a kind of physical fitness technique, the essence of which lies in "replenishing the brain and ears".

There is also a more popular saying: "If you want not to be old, you must also be good at your brain."

To put it bluntly, when doing that kind of thing, if you master the essentials and tricks, not only is it harmless to your body, but you can prolong your life while enjoying it.

"This...to tell the truth, and I have only scratched the surface."

At this moment, Yu Ji has regarded Wu Liang as a "smart person", so he no longer speaks the "secret words" that he said to ordinary people.

"Come on, come on, even if it's superficial, please explain it to me in detail, I really don't know anything about this."

Wu Liang resolutely helped Yu Ji into the carriage.

On the other hand, he forcibly squeezed beside Yu Ji, looking like a good student who "studies with an open mind"...

……

Nine days later.

The Huan army had already arrived in the city of Yuzhang County, and used some food to ask for a relatively simple courtyard to stay temporarily.

Yang Wanli and others also returned on time, and met with the people Wu Liang sent to the north gate early in the morning, and came back together to report to Wu Liang the news they found during the trip.

"Curse?"

Hearing Yang Wanli say this word, Wu Liang frowned slightly.

Yang Wanli nodded, and said seriously:

"Yes, I heard from the local villagers that when Liu He was banished as Marquis of Haihun many years ago, he led 4000 food towns to Yuzhang County to establish a state."

"In the early days of the founding of the country, Liu He forcibly occupied a large area of ​​fertile land cultivated by the villagers in order to build a city to house himself and the 4000 food towns. Therefore, the local villagers were dissatisfied, and finally united against Liu He."

"Later, Liu He sent a letter to rescue the soldiers, slaughtered the local villagers wantonly, and threw all the corpses into the lake, almost dyeing the water in the lake red."

"It was also at that time that the curse appeared."

"At that time, the Han army was throwing the corpse into the lake, the sky suddenly changed color, the earth trembled, and the crimson lake water suddenly rolled up, and after a while, a white cloud of gas formed on the lake, as ethereal as a fairyland."

"Immediately there was a loud noise, and a water dragon column with a height of tens of feet rose from the ground!"

"After a few breaths, thousands of Han soldiers fell to the ground. When people found out, those Han soldiers had already lost their breath. There were only corpses all over the ground. They couldn't see any wounds on their bodies, and their expressions were very calm. It's as if the soul was sucked away by some unknown force in an instant."

"In addition, the fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs in the lake are all dead, and white flowers are floating on the lake."

"The local villagers said that it must be because Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun, did so many injustices that angered the heavens, so he sent immortals to suck away the souls of those who helped the evil, even those fat fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs who ate corpses It didn't end well."

"Later, after Liu He died, his two sons also died suddenly after receiving the succession edict, which eventually led to the expulsion of Haihun Kingdom."

"The villagers said that this is also because what Liu He did before was against the law of heaven."

"When the gods sent by the heavens sucked away the souls of those who aided the evil, they cast a curse on Liu He's bloodline and the Haihun Kingdom. Not only is the country's fortune gone, but the bloodline that inherits the position of Haihunhou will not end well either."

Speaking of this, Yang Wanli swallowed, paused and finally returned to the topic: "I have found out that there is only such a lake in a radius of about two hundred miles to the north of Yuzhang County. The local villagers believe that the lake is protected by the aura left by the gods when they descended to earth. If they encounter injustice, or pray for rain and children, they will come to the lake to worship and pray. Now it has formed a kind of custom."

"It's just that it's not known whether Liu He, Marquis of Haihun, was buried here after his death. Those villagers can't tell. It's useless to ask..."

Emmm...

After listening to Yang Wanli's words, Wu Liang pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Did this kind of 'god descending to earth' ever happen again?"

Since this lake is now called Linghu Lake, and there is only such a lake within a hundred miles, then there should be no mistake, the tomb of Marquis Haihun must be here.

Therefore, the more critical issue now is this strange lake. We must first find out what is wrong with this lake.

Otherwise, if when the Huan army arrived at the lake to dig a grave, this strange lake suddenly had such a vision, not only the Huan army would be annihilated inexplicably, even he might not be spared, and his death was unknown.

"It appeared twice later."

Yang Wanli nodded and said, "One time, not long after Liu Baoshi, the third Marquis of Haihun, succeeded to the throne, Liu Baoshi saw the beautiful scenery of Linghu Lake, and originally planned to build it into a separate courtyard, but similar visions appeared after only half of the construction. None of the hundreds of craftsmen survived, and soon after, Marquis Haihun was expelled from the country."

"The other time was not long after Liu Huiyi, the fourth Marquis of Haihun, came to power. He didn't do anything outrageous, nor did he have any unreasonable thoughts about Linghu Lake. He even planned to follow the tradition that the villagers had already established. , bring people to Linghu to pray for rain and worship."

"It's a pity that the altar was only half built, and another vision appeared in the Linghu Lake. Not only did the craftsman die inexplicably, but even some of the onlookers were also sucked out of their souls."

"Shortly after, the Haihun Kingdom was expelled again, and there will be no more Haihun Kingdom in the world."

"Some villagers said that this is also caused by the evil curse that the heavens cast on the Haihun Kingdom."

"Liu He's blood is a sinful person, and the heavens don't want to be worshiped by him, so a vision was sent down to teach him to stay away from the Spirit Lake and not to get closer."

in this case……

Listening to Yang Wanli's description, Wu Liang has already begun to deduce the rules.

It was 63 BC when Liu He, the first Marquis of Haihun, came to establish the country.

Haihun Kingdom was expelled from the country for the second time, which should be around 8 AD.

The third time they were completely expelled from the country seemed to be around 104 AD.

63 BC → 8 AD → 104 AD.

The intervals are 71 years and 96 years respectively.

If the time error between the occurrence of the vision in Linghu and the elimination of the Haihun Kingdom is excluded, it can be deduced that the interval should be more than 50 years and less than 100 years.

Besides.

Although it may seem incomprehensible to see visions in Linghu every time, they all have one thing in common: corpses are thrown into the lake, cemeteries are built, and altars are built.

In other words, they were actually invaded by the outside world...

Deducing these laws in his mind, Wu Liang suddenly became worried.

Now it is 193 A.D., 89 years have passed since the last image of Linghu Lake appeared, which seems to be within the time interval of the vision of Linghu Lake that he deduced.

And this time.

He came here with the Huren army. Since the tomb of Marquis Haihun was to be excavated, construction must start!

For Linghu, this is naturally an intrusion from the outside world...

Will it trigger that terrible vision again?

Although the Haihun Country Site Museum has been built here in later generations, and the phenomenon of Linghu Lake has never been recorded in history, let alone in later generations, but it must be guarded against!
