Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 152 The Magical Huo Ranch! (4200 second change)
Previously, what Wu Liang was most worried about was the "Spirit Lake Absorption" incident.

He even once thought about whether he could use manpower to stimulate the "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" event to break out in advance while ensuring safety, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents during the tomb robbery.

It's a pity that he really doesn't have that ability.

But now, a large amount of carbon dioxide at the bottom of Linghu Lake has erupted, and it will enter the state of a sage for decades. This worry is no longer a problem for the Huan army.

Therefore, the excavation work of Haihunhou's tomb can officially enter the final stage of full force.

However, "Spirit Lake Soul Absorption" has only ended for a few hours now, so you still need to be more careful when going down the mountain.

Especially when entering the tomb of Marquis Haihun, you should be extra careful. After all, the lower the terrain, the easier it is for carbon dioxide to accumulate, not to mention that the ventilation conditions in the tomb are slightly worse than outside.

then.

Not long after, Yang Wanli summoned all the soldiers of the Tuan army.

Wu Liang ordered the soldiers to light the torches again, and while testing the air conditions down the mountain, they proceeded cautiously down the mountain.

So when they came to the mountainside where Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji died suddenly, the horrible scene they saw shocked the soldiers of the Huren Army who hadn't known the truth until now:

"This is……?"

"Why are there dead birds everywhere?"

"Why do all the animals in the forest die for no reason? Look, there are a few dead squirrels under the tree over there!"

"What exactly is going on?!"

"..."

At this time, the soldiers of the Tuan Army finally vaguely realized what terrible thing happened just now.

It seemed as if an invisible and intangible mysterious force suddenly appeared, and took away the lives of all... living creatures in this area, including Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji.

If Wu Liang hadn't rescued them in time, the two of them would have ended up like these birds and animals, turning into a cold corpse.

After all, they just passed by the two fast horses that Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji left behind.

Although Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji were alive and kicking at the moment, those two fast horses stayed there forever.

"..."

Thinking of this, almost all the soldiers were a little apprehensive, and they looked at Wu Liang unconsciously, but no one dared to look directly, as if they were in awe when they entered a temple to worship a god.

At this moment, Wu Liang seemed to have a divine power in their hearts that ordinary people could only look up to.

The divine power that can bring people back to life is definitely beyond the reach of mortals like them, and they can only be viewed with awe.

However, a few officers who could not suppress their curiosity sneaked up to Yang Wanli, who was more talkative, and asked secretly in a low voice: "Hey, Mr. Yang, besides Dianwei, you are the one who knows Xiaowei Wu best here. Come on, is our Captain Wu not a mortal at all?"

"How do you tell?"

Yang Wanli also held his throat and said furtively.

"Isn't this obvious? You look at the corpses of animals all over the ground. This place must have been punished by heaven not long ago. Captain Wu told us to hide on the mountain to escape the catastrophe. Do you think this is not magical?"

An officer said with an exaggerated expression, "If a mortal, how could he predict the scourge, and how could he calculate the place where he would not suffer the scourge, and guide us in advance to escape the catastrophe?"

"Well...you do have some brains."

Yang Wanli nodded thoughtfully.

"What's more, if it is a mortal, how can it bring people back to life? This is clearly a fairy art!"

Another officer then added, "The few of us saw it clearly just now, the white girl and the old Taoist priest had already lost their breath when they were carried up, and the three souls and seven souls must have dissipated long ago, but we Wu The captain used some supernatural powers to summon the souls of these two people back, so that they were brought back to life, is this something that ordinary people can do?"

"Well... what you said also makes sense."

Yang Wanli continued to nod, with an expression of "you are such a clever little ghost".

"There's still more!"

Another person spoke positively, "Uncle Yang, do you still remember what happened when you rescued that old Taoist? The old Taoist was really dead at that time, right?"

"I don't want to remember this matter again in my life! But... At that time, he had no breath, no pulse, and he was definitely a dead body... What do you want to say?"

Yang Wanli asked with a slight frown.

"At that time, Uncle Yang treated the old Taoist priest for a long time, and the old Taoist priest never showed any signs of returning to life."

The man blinked his eyes and exaggeratedly said to several people, "Later, when Captain Wu came behind Uncle Yang and just patted Uncle Yang on the shoulder, the old Taoist immediately woke up. What's going on? Wasn't it because when Colonel Wu patted Bochang Yang on the shoulder, he poured supernatural powers into the old Taoist priest through Bochang Yang's body, bringing him back to life immediately?"

"Oh, why didn't I think of that?"

Hearing this, Yang Wanli slapped his forehead heavily immediately, looking as if he had pushed through the clouds and mist to see a rainbow, "Let me just say, with my mortal body, how can I bring that old Taoist priest back to life? The captain's credit, he just doesn't want to show his supernatural powers in public!"

Therefore, if the old Taoist wants to find someone to take responsibility, he shouldn't ask me to take responsibility!

I was just a tool, a carrier!

The one who can really be responsible to the old Taoist priest must be Captain Wu who possesses supernatural powers. If the old Taoist priest comes to pester me again, I will tell him so!
Yang Wanli couldn't stop nodding his head in recognition of the officers before, but he didn't pretend to fool them.

As an aborigine at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Wanli had exactly the same worldview as these soldiers, the only difference being that he knew the rumor of "Linghu sucking soul" in advance.

As for when "soul sucking soul" will appear?
He also had no idea how to deal with it or where he could avoid this unpredictable scourge, and he was just following Wu Liang's orders all the time.

Therefore, in his eyes, Wu Liang is not a mortal at all, and he does not need these people to help him transform.

"Uncle Yang, tell us the truth."

Several officers nodded and said yes for a long time, then looked at Yang Wanli together, and asked solemnly, "When Captain Wu patted you on the shoulder and the supernatural power passed through your body, did you feel any different...no In other words, we just want to know what it’s like for God to pass through the body.”

"This……"

Yang Wanli didn't feel much at first, but after hearing what the officers said, he seemed to feel it immediately, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it.

"Yes! There must be!"

Yang Wanli recalled carefully, and tried his best to describe the miraculous feeling he "reminisced" to several officers who were looking at him eagerly, "At that time, I felt a warm current flowing into my body from my shoulders, it was a kind of numbness. It feels like I can't help but tremble slightly all over my body, it's indescribably comfortable..."

"Then, my heart beat fast, and my breathing became a lot faster. I started to feel hot all over my body, and I couldn't help but want to shiver..."

"Finally, the warm current finally passed over my body, and then slipped into the old Taoist's mouth with a 'swoosh'.

"Probably, that's how it feels. I don't have much education, and I can't go into details. Anyway, it's almost the same. If there is such a good thing next time, you will take the initiative to ask you to try it. It will make you happy. "

……

Not long after, Wu Liang and others arrived at the entrance of the dug Haihunhou's tomb.

Standing here, one can clearly see the situation in Linghu Lake. At this time, there are already large pieces of dead fish and shrimp floating in the lake.

Some dead fish and shrimps have been pushed to the shore by the waves, and some are piled up in the lake water near the lake shore, forming a thick layer...

"Soul-absorbing spirit lake" is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the creatures in the lake.

"These are all rewards from heaven. Now I am announcing a piece of good news. In the past few days, brothers have only eaten meat. Whether it is swimming in the lake, flying in the sky, or running on the ground, everyone eats with open stomachs. Want to eat Eat as much as you want, eat whatever you want, eat until you are full, eat until you vomit!"

Wu Liang decisively announced an exciting piece of good news.

These animals died of carbon dioxide poisoning. They are not poisonous in themselves and do not affect their consumption at all. The only problem is that too much is not easy to store, so eat as much as you can before they rot.

It can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

"Oh!!!"

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Tuan army cheered up and shouted hello in unison.

"But now we still need to get down to business first, and invite our big rooster to enter the tomb to drive away evil spirits for us."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

The tomb of Marquis Haihun has already been explored before, and the only thing to worry about at the moment is whether the carbon dioxide in the tomb exceeds the standard, so the process of ventilation and air testing can also be simplified a lot.

Drive the big rooster to the front, and the rest of the people follow behind with torches. As long as there is no abnormality, it means that the carbon dioxide poured into the tomb just now has almost dissipated, and there will be no more problems.

So under the leadership of Big Rooster and Wu Liang.

After exploring the tomb of Haihunhou, the Huan army officially entered the tomb of Haihunhou and began to work.

of course.

The first thing to carry must be the two sets of bamboo slips that Wu Liang had been optimistic about before, "The History of Qi" and "The Analects of Confucius".

Wu Liang personally commanded the soldiers to tie up the two sets of bamboo slips intact, and moved out a lot of volumes for safekeeping.

As for the gold in the tomb on the west side of the main coffin chamber, Dian Wei and Yang Wanli were handed over to supervise the handling. It was the same way as in the tomb of King Liang Xiao. Each piece of gold was engraved with a number and recorded in the book to ensure that it was safe.

In the process of moving the gold, Wu Liang returned to the main coffin chamber again.

After opening the coffin of Liu He, Marquis of Haihun, Wu Liang had already looked at the remains and funeral objects inside the coffin, but because of the sudden earthquake, he had not had time to inspect it more carefully, let alone restore the coffin, so he took Bai Jingjing to snatch it. There is no way to escape, so some simple finishing work needs to be done.

Before returning to the coffin, Wu Liang probed into the coffin.

"Linghu Soul Absorption" did not have any effect on Haihunhou Liu He's body and the sacrificial objects in the tomb, so Wu Liang carefully looked at it again from top to bottom.

This time, I calmed down and checked, but I didn't find anything worth "protecting", so I could restore the coffin with peace of mind.

Wu Liang took one last look, and then prepared to ask the accompanying soldiers to work.

But it was also this look.

"Wait a moment!"

Inside the coffin, another detail that was not easy to find caught Wu Liang's attention.

Although Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun, had already lost the qualification to use yellow sausage pieces and jade clothes when he was buried, he was buried with very rich assets, and he was definitely not an ordinary rich man in any era.

But what is puzzling is that the large coffin lining under Liu He's body does not look commensurate with his identity and funeral objects.

That seems to be... a large piece of rough and cheap linen?
This almost overlooked detail made Wu Liang feel very incredible.

This is like a well-dressed wealthy businessman, who is covered in extremely expensive custom-made suits all over his body, but on his feet is wearing a pair of double star shoes that cost tens of dollars.

No matter how you look at it, it gives people a very inconsistent feeling.

Wu Liang felt that this should not be negligence.

Because Liu He, Marquis of Haihun, neither he nor his family would wear linen. Therefore, in the Western Han Dynasty where thick burials were popular, the possibility of such negligence during burials was basically zero.

Then.

There is only one possibility!
This thing may not be ordinary linen, or it may not be linen at all!
With this in mind, Wu Liang reached in, lifted a corner of the linen cloth and twisted it with his fingers.

It seems that it is not ordinary linen!

Although this kind of cloth is as rough as linen, it is lighter in weight than linen, and its texture is slightly different... Wu Liang is wearing linen clothes now, and it is easy to tell the difference by comparing them on the spot.

"Then what kind of cloth is this?"

Wu Liang was even more puzzled.

So he immediately pulled out the dagger stuck in the back of his waist, and cut off a very small corner from the cloth.

Although he is not an expert in this field, he can't distinguish those fancy and extremely small types of fabrics, but he knows a stupid way to distinguish the raw materials of fabrics.

Fire.

Burn the fabric or thread ends with fire, and you can roughly distinguish the raw material of the fabric through the smell, smoke, and ashes left after burning.

The current fabrics do not have the fancy types of later generations. Once you identify the type of raw material, you can basically know what kind of fabric it is.

As a result, the burn didn't matter.

There was another miraculous scene!
I saw that this small piece of cloth that was already somewhat yellowed was not ignited under the burning of the torch, but turned into an extremely pure snow white in an instant as if by magic?

"This is?!"

Wu Liang was stunned for a moment.

Could this thing be the legendary Huo Ranch? !
The existence of "Huohuanbu" is recorded in many historical documents in ancient China.

The "Shan Hai Jing" says this: Legend has it that there is a mountain surrounded by flames in Kunlun Mountains. In this mountain grows a mouse that is bigger than a cow, weighs a thousand catties, is two feet long, and has hairs as thin as silk.

This mouse lives in the wildfire. When it is in the fire, it turns red all over, and when it goes outside, it turns white. When it leaves the fire, if you splash it with water immediately, the mouse will die if it touches the water. Its woolen cloth is made into clothes, which never need to be washed, and when it is dirty, just take it to the fire and burn it, and it will be as white as new ones immediately, so people call it "Huohuanbu"...
