Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 199 Zombie? (4000)

Wu Liang was a little curious, how did Yu Ji judge that the strange tree in front of him belonged to "Yunyang".

The few words he knew about "Yunyang", at least so far, he has not found any common ground between the two, but Yu Ji seems to have identified this strange tree as "Yunyang". know the information?
"Old man, why do you judge that this tree is Yunyang?"

Wu Liang asked.

"This... this old man also learned from an ancient book, in which there is an introduction about 'Yunyang'. It is said that this tree can seduce people's souls, and those who have been seduced by their souls will only be left with an unconscious body. No matter how far you go, you will eventually be guided by the soul to return to the tree and sleep forever, and eventually become one with 'Yunyang'."

Yu Ji called for a long time and found that "Yunyang" did not respond, and finally turned around and explained to Wu Liang, "It is said that this tree has another name called 'Thousand Corpse Tree'. Although this tree is extremely rare, every 'cloud tree' When Yang' was discovered, there were hundreds of corpses under the tree, hence the name."

"The old man saw the actions of Yang Wanli and that soldier, and also saw that there are countless corpses here. These are the same as the records about 'Yunyang', so I guessed from this."

"The ancient book also said, don't try to escape when you see Yunyang, it will steal the soul of the suffering master unconsciously, even if the body escapes, the suffering master will come back after the soul stays here."

"The only way to survive is to shout the name of 'Yunyang'. If Yunyang responds to your call, it means that it has sensed your sincerity and agreed to let you go..."

Speaking of this, Yu Ji's face was very ugly, and he said as if he was doomed, "The old man called it for a long time, but it ignored it. What should I do? Come and call it together, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." !"

"This……"

What Yu Ji said was somewhat different from what Wu Liang knew, so Wu Liang asked subconsciously, "If Yunyang heard our call, how should he respond to us before he agrees to let us go?"

"As far as this old man knows, if Yunyang also responds to us with the word 'Yunyang', he will let us go."

Yu Ji said solemnly, "Come and call a few times to try it out. This may be our only chance of survival. Don't be careless!"

Hearing this, Wu Liang was taken aback again.

Finally found a common ground, could it be that Yunyang can really speak human language?

always feel weird...

Of course, Wu Liang is still more willing to believe Yu Ji's statement, because what Yu Ji said is more detailed than in "Baopuzi", and some things can be matched.

This shows that what Yu Ji knew about Yunyang is very likely to come from the same source as "Baopuzi".

It's just that whether these records are completely true is still open to debate... Sometimes historical inheritance is like a "spreading game". If the records at the source have no problems, then the more they spread, the more mysterious they will become, and the more they spread, the more they will deviate from the facts .

So after contemplating for a moment, Wu Liang asked again: "Not to mention us, did the ancient books that the old man read mention how to rescue the person whose soul was hooked by Yunyang?"

That's the purpose of their trip.

According to Yu Ji, from now on Yang Wanli and the soldier will be buried here forever, and finally become one with "Yunyang".

As for how to integrate.

Wu Liang and the others have already seen the fate of those corpses. They should be lying obediently under the "Yunyang", waiting for its roots to spread over, absorbing the body tissues in its body as nutrients, and finally turning into a corpse. shriveled mummy.

but.

After all, people die first, and then the roots grow slowly.

It is still the rhizome that entangles a living person and sucks them to death.

This is not easy to say.

Wu Liang is more inclined to the former, because at least the "Yunyang" that Wu Liang has seen so far is just a big tree, not a hand monster that can control its roots to perform violent movements at will.

"This old man can't talk about it..."

Yu Ji wrinkled his old face, and finally shook his head helplessly, "But since they have been hooked by 'Yunyang', 'Yunyang' will not return their souls, even if we forcibly take these two If people take them out, they just take away their bodies. Without their souls, they probably won't wake up again, right? Besides, if this action angers 'Yunyang', it probably won't let it go We, we are also doomed to die..."

"In that case..."

Wu Liang felt that the more mysterious Yu Jiyue said, the more suspicious he became in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still made a compromise decision, "Let's call 'Yunyang' a few times to see if it is Will respond to us, how?"

Wu Liang still doesn't believe that this big tree can speak human language, let alone that it can really seduce people's souls.

But what Yu Ji said seemed to be true, and Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing seemed to be listening carefully, even showing a little worry on their faces.

Wu Liang still decided to follow Yu Ji's statement and make a small attempt.

If "Yunyang" really responded, Wu Liang would be one head and two big, because this shows that what Yu Ji said may be true, and Wu Liang really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.

If "Yunyang" didn't respond, Wu Liang would feel more at ease. This is in line with the common sense Wu Liang knows.

And in this way, according to Yu Ji, it means that "Yunyang" will not let any of them go, and the four of them have no "retreat" at all, and naturally they will not have any burdens when they do anything ... Once a person is barefoot, he is no longer afraid of wearing shoes.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it relieved the pressure in the hearts of the other three people to some extent.

then.

"Yunyang—!"

"Yunyang—!"

"Yunyang—?"

The three of them yelled at the top of their voices one by one, and each of them waited for a few seconds after yelling, giving "Yunyang" plenty of time to react.

Even Yu Ji yelled twice more deliberately, wanting to try again to see if he was still alive.

But sadly.

"Yunyang" did not respond to anyone.

"It seems that 'Yunyang' doesn't intend to let any of us go."

Seeing this situation, Wu Liang was determined, and turned to look at the three of them.

"Unexpectedly, this evil obstacle is so vicious, and it wants to bury all of us here!"

Although the "barefoot" Yu Ji was still a little scared, but at this moment, as Wu Liang expected, he had more determination, gritted his teeth and scolded viciously, "If this is the case, what else is there to be afraid of? After all, there is no escape, and I have to teach this evil person to know the way of the old man, how can the old man's soul be so easy to seduce?"

"Anyway, let's see how Yang Wanli and that soldier are doing. Are they really going to sleep forever?"

Bai Jingjing temporarily skipped this topic, and stepped forward to remind her in due time.

Her father is a doctor, so she also has some knowledge about medicine.

Although it is not sure what this "Yunyang" tree will do to them, but it is certain that if a person does not eat or drink, even if he cannot sleep for a long time, he will not be able to live for a few days.

This is indeed a problem.

If Wu Liang wanted to rescue Yang Wanli and the soldier, his most urgent task was to solve this problem.

And if this problem could be solved, Wu Liang and the others would have found a way to deal with "Yunyang", and naturally they would have nothing to worry about.

But if he wanted to do this, he couldn't avoid "Yunyang".

Until now, Wu Liang's understanding of this strange tree is limited to the records in "Baopuzi" and Yu Ji's narration, which obviously does not conform to the scientific research spirit of a modern archaeologist.

At the very least, you should investigate all aspects before making a decision.

"Jingjing is right, Dianwei is fighting for me."

As he spoke, Wu Liang had already walked forward with the engineering shovel in his hand. Under the protection of Dian Wei, he raised the shovel and shoveled hard on a finger-thin root that spread from the strange tree.

"Chong!"

The engineer shovel cut off the rhizome easily, and made a crisp sound when it collided with the masonry laid on the ground.

Wu Liang immediately took a few steps back, carefully observing whether there was any abnormal movement in the strange tree.

result.

This strange tree is as calm as ever.

The severed rhizome was also like the rhizome of an ordinary plant, it was broken as soon as it was broken, and it did not roll and twist like an animal.

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang was relieved a lot.

It seems that the situation of "handling monsters" will not appear. This is luck among misfortunes. What Wu Liang is most afraid of is encountering such inexplicable things. Those things are really beyond the reach of ordinary manpower. .

So wait a few seconds.

Still seeing no movement from the strange tree, Wu Liangcai walked forward with Dianwei again, carefully observing the section of rhizome cut off by himself and the incision he made on the root stem.

A little crystal-clear transparent liquid has leaked out from the incision of the rhizome.

Wu Liang touched it with an engineering shovel, and found that the liquid was slightly viscous, and it didn't look much different from the juice of ordinary plants.

And the composition inside is not significantly different from that of ordinary plant rhizomes. In the middle is a milky white root column with some spiral lines like annual rings, and on the outside is a layer of rough rhizome skin.

Excluding the hundreds of strange corpses and the evil actions of Yang Wanli and the soldier, just judging from the root that he cut open, this is an ordinary tree, just look at the thickness of the trunk. The lifespan should be longer.

Also at this time.

"Huh!"

For some reason, Yang Wanli and the soldier lying beside the tree trunk opened their eyes suddenly as if they were stimulated, and sat up instantly!
"?!"

This was something Wu Liang hadn't expected before.

According to Yu Ji, if this strange tree is really "Yunyang", the two people should not wake up again after sleeping.

But at this moment, these two people woke up again, why?
Followed by.

Yang Wanli and the soldier turned their heads slowly like puppets, still looking in the direction of Wu Liang and the others with the same confused and unfamiliar expressions before.

"This is……"

Looking at the expressions of these two people, Wu Liang knew that although they were no longer asleep, they hadn't escaped from the previous state of bewitched.

Even, he was a little skeptical.

The two people suddenly sat up at this moment, probably because he cut off the roots of the strange tree, so he had some stimulation to the strange tree, and the strange tree couldn't respond, so he controlled the two of them to react.

After all, judging from the previous signs, these two people were most likely influenced or even controlled by the strange tree.

But then again.

Wu Liang chopped off the root of the strange tree, and then Yang Wanli and the two opened their eyes and sat up, but it took about ten seconds. If the two were really controlled by the strange tree, then the reflex nerves of the strange tree were indeed long enough up.

"Yang Wanli?"

Wu Liang collected himself and tried to call Yang Wanli's name, hoping to wake him up.

At this moment, Yang Wanli and the soldier had slowly stood up again, still staring at them intently, not knowing what was brewing at this moment.

next second.

"Shh!"

Yang Wanli and the soldier were no longer slow in their movements, they suddenly took big strides and rushed towards Wu Liang and the others.

Their running speed was extremely fast, not to mention that Wu Liang couldn't outrun them, even Dian Wei might not be able to match them at this moment.

"Dianwei, Yang Wanli and that soldier might attack us, stop them!"

Wu Liang immediately took two steps back, and shouted to Dian Wei in a deep voice.

Although Yang Wanli and the soldier didn't have any vicious expressions on their faces, the confusion and unfamiliarity were enough for Wu Liang to make such a judgment.

"They can't make it!"

Seeing this, Dian Wei put away his engineering shovel and stood in front of Wu Liang and others with his bare hands.

Obviously, Dian Wei didn't want to hurt the lives of the two until the last moment.

Wu Liang didn't make a sound to stop them. Although Yang Wanli and the soldier came aggressively, they didn't have any weapons in their hands. Under normal circumstances, Dian Wei alone would take care of the two of them, or even twenty of them.

The two sides quickly fought hand to hand.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

With two sounds, Dian Wei slapped down with two palms, and easily slapped the two rushing people back, and retreated several meters in a row before finally stopping the retreat.

But the two only paused for a moment.

Immediately, he rushed forward desperately, completely in an attitude of immortality.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Dian Wei went up again with both feet, forcing them back again.

It can be seen that Dian Wei actually withdrew his strength, otherwise, with Dian Wei's strange strength, kicking the two of them in the chest would have easily broken their ribs and sunk their entire chest cavity.

But going on like this is not an option.

Even if Dian Wei was amazingly powerful, there would always be times when he would run out of strength, and if Yang Wanli and the soldier were tireless in this situation, they would eventually force Wu Liang to make a choice.

If so, it would run counter to the result he wanted for this trip.

but.

Now Yang Wanli and that soldier are fully conscious like zombies... wait a minute!
Zombies?

Wu Liang suddenly thought of something!
