Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

第236章 第230五张 痋术！（4000）

After a moment of silence.

Bai Jingjing finally said again: "I heard some extremely subtle sounds, as for how to describe these sounds...it seems very similar to the sound of water gnats crawling, it sounds sticky as if something is constantly wriggling. "

"These?"

Wu Liang frowned, reacted a little, and immediately grasped one of the key words.

As for the "water scorpion" Bai Jingjing mentioned, Wu Liang knew what it was.

That is actually the ancient name for "slug". Although this thing does not belong to the same family as snails in later generations, it looks like a snail without a back shell.

"Yes, it sounds like there are a lot of sound sources, but these sounds are too subtle, and I have no way of judging the specific number, but it should be at least four digits or more."

Bai Jingjing nodded and said seriously.

"Four digits...that's thousands of numbers, and you can even tell the difference with your ears?"

Cao Ang immediately looked at Bai Jingjing in surprise.

When Bai Jingjing was listening, he tried his best to listen carefully, but he didn't hear any sound, let alone hear so many details like Bai Jingjing.

In Cao Ang's view, this is very exaggerated.

"That's just my estimate, it can't be fully counted."

But Bai Jingjing still said it in a matter-of-fact manner. In Cao Ang's eyes, it was the most humble tone and the most arrogant words, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

"This is strange. What we saw was clearly a childish figure, but what you heard were voices that had nothing to do with it. What's going on?"

Wu Liang thought about it intently, and soon remembered the two damaged puppets before.

Is it really a group of bugs?
But... no matter how he contacted, he couldn't associate the weird childish figure he saw just now with the bug.

According to common sense, almost all actions of insects tend to be instinctive, although some social insects in nature will gather together to make some amazing actions.

But that's just an example, and sometimes it's just a coincidence.

And that weird childish figure just now obviously does not conform to common sense.

First of all, the appearance is very unreasonable. He can understand that some bugs gather together and can form various forms like fish schools in the ocean.

But it is obviously not a coincidence that can be explained by combining the childish figure twice in a row;

Secondly, the behavior pattern is also very unreasonable.

In Wu Liang's understanding, ordinary bugs usually don't have a high IQ, and all their actions are driven by instinct.

But this childish figure was obviously different. Seeing Wu Liang and the others approaching, it would immediately choose to run away, and even disappear without anyone noticing, as if playing hide-and-seek with them.

Perhaps this is also some kind of instinct?
But Wu Liang felt that the word "instinct" was far from enough to explain this situation.

Just like just now.

The childish figure leaned out half of its body at the corner, as if it was spying on them. It was really hard to imagine that a group of bugs could form such a vivid human posture.

"Perhaps that childish figure is a wronged soul wandering in the tomb, and the voice heard by Miss Jingjing is the voice of other things, the two are not directly related."

Yu Ji also wrinkled his old face, and said intently, "Didn't Master Cai just say that there may be bugs in this tomb? This sound may be made by the bugs you mentioned."

"What the old man said is not unreasonable..."

So far, Wu Liang has never seen the so-called "wronged soul", especially this kind of "wronged soul" that can appear in front of people, so he has reservations about it for the time being.

However, Yu Ji's words are indeed a direction worth considering.

Perhaps the childish figure and the voice Bai Jingjing heard are two different things, and there is no need to forcibly connect the two.

"So, having said all that, what should we do now?"

Cao Ang's words were relatively straightforward. Although he was also concerned about the speculations of Wu Liang and others, he was more concerned about the final conclusion.

This is a pragmatist.

"The tomb passage we are in now is a dead end, we can only go back the same way, but we must observe more carefully on the way back. If we can find out the source of the sound heard by Jingjing, we can first clarify some of the doubts."

Wu Liang thought for a while and said.

"What the talented and virtuous brother said is very true, then let's go."

Cao Ang nodded after hearing this, and immediately walked in front with two personal guards.

Except for Yu Ji, an old man who has not yet shown his superiority, Cao Ang is using this to protect Wu Liang and others. In his eyes, Wu Liang, Bai Jingjing, and Dian Wei are all extremely powerful in the Huan army. Important people are also the treasures that are related to the source of Cao Jun's military salary. No matter who is injured, it will be a huge loss.

But this time, he didn't chase after him as hard as he did when he came in. Instead, he slowed down and carefully inspected the tomb passage with Wu Liang and others, looking for any strange things as much as possible.

By now.

Cao Ang seemed to have a new understanding of Wu Liang's work.

Not everyone can do this.

The oppressive atmosphere in the tomb, and these things that are difficult to explain with common sense, even he had some palpitations just now, and even some cold sweat broke out on his vest.

At this moment, he finally understood Cao Ting's feelings.

No wonder that guy is not afraid of the bloody and cruel battlefield, but he keeps secret about the tomb robbery, and he is unwilling to relive the old dream again.

Now Cao Ang has a similar feeling.

Instead of fighting wits and courage with this kind of inexplicable, invisible, intangible thing here, he would rather face the enemy forces that are on the surface, fighting with real swords and guns.

At the very least, on the battlefield, you know what kind of enemy you are facing, instead of not knowing where to use your strength like now.

……

This time, everyone slowed down their pace and searched more carefully, and sure enough, they soon found some imperceptible traces.

I saw that just behind the corner where the childish figure stood, there was a small pool of inconspicuous wet marks, which made the color of the bricks and stones in this place look slightly darker than the surrounding ones.

"Brother talented and virtuous, come and see what this is?"

As the first person to discover the wet mark, Cao Ang immediately asked two personal guards to protect the scene, and then dragged Wu Liang over to check.

"This is……"

Wu Liang leaned forward to observe for a while, and then touched the wet spot with the engineering shovel.

When the engineer shovel was picked up again, a transparent silk thread was pulled out of it... This thing is a bit like the syrup thread pulled from the shredded banana, and it looks very sticky.

"Jingjing just said that she heard the sound of something sticky wriggling..."

Wu Liang looked at the crowd with a frown, and then expressed his speculation, "Could it be that the childish figure we saw is really related to what Jingjing heard?"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

The situation in front of them has undoubtedly linked the two together. Even if they are two completely different things, there must be some kind of relationship that they don't know about, otherwise, how could they appear in the same place.

"But there is only such a wet mark here, and there are no traces of movement around it..."

Cao Ting thought for a moment, then said with concentration, "In short, regardless of whether there is any relationship between the two, what I want to know most now is to know where this ghost thing has gone, and how can I find it to prevent future troubles?"

"It's hard to say right now."

Wu Liang actually had a guess in his mind, which was to "break the whole into parts".

If the childish figures they saw just now were made up of those bugs, they might disappear without leaving any traces when they were instantly disintegrated into pieces... After all, there is not much slime left here, that is, It is said that the mucus carried by those bugs is also very limited, and it is still possible to leave or hide without leaving any traces after being broken into parts.

As for where to hide.

This remains to be verified.

However, he saw that the walls here were very smooth, and the gaps between the bricks and stones were smoothed out with clay, and the clay was intact, so it was not easy to hide even small things.

At this moment, there are still many doubts in my mind that have not been solved, so Wu Liang will not rush to give a conclusion, but said: "Let's continue to search, every time we find a vision, we are one step closer to the truth, and everything will come to light .”

So the group continued to explore.

As a result, he walked out of the entire secret passage.

The crowd did not discover any other visions, not even the tiniest living thing, let alone the "bug" that Wu Liang had speculated before and had been heard by Bai Jingjing.

Now they are back in the previous tomb that was full of graves.

"What should we do now?"

Cao Ang asked again.

Before that, everyone went to check the place where the child's figure first appeared. There was no more mucus in that place, leaving only a little trace of dried dust.

Although this detail echoed the discovery just now, it did not bring them any more information.

"Since the 'Children's Figure' appeared in front of us twice, it will definitely come again. We might as well stay the same and continue to investigate the tomb we just opened."

Wu Liang said intently.

"I'm afraid that's the only way to go."

Cao Ang could only nod helplessly.

……

As a result, when everyone came to the tomb of Jiezi that had been opened earlier.

I saw another scene that made my scalp tingle!
I saw that the horrifying and strange corpse had turned into a headless corpse at this moment, but its head did not disappear, but rolled a few meters away, and its whole face was turned upside down. on the ground!

Besides.

A large puddle of yellow-brown liquid flowed out from the bottom of the tomb, and it had spread over several square meters. At the moment, it was exuding a disgusting stench, which made people breathless.

"This...cough cough...what's going on?"

Cao Ang hastily covered his mouth and nose with his hands, even so he was coughing non-stop due to choking, and even some tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably.

"Put on the gas mask before talking. By the way, remember to put on my newly improved charcoal bag."

Wu Liang couldn't stand the smell either, so he put on the gas mask he carried with him first.

As for the "improved charcoal bag", it is actually just a bit of strong-smelling spice slag mixed into the charcoal bag. Although this thing may not be able to completely isolate the smell, it can also play a role in mitigating it anyway. It's a reason that if you take a Huazi when you poop, you don't feel that the poop smells so bad.

This is a new invention that Wu Liang came up with after opening the coffin several times. After all, many coffins have been closed for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the corpse of the owner of the tomb is rotting inside, and the smell is really not good.

Everyone hurriedly followed suit, and instantly felt like seeing a rainbow through the clouds and mists, and they were full of praise for Wu Liang's improvement.

At the same time, however.

"Attention! There is movement in this tomb of the cat!"

However, Bai Jingjing has already made a new discovery: "It's the sounds I heard just now, there are things wriggling inside, a lot!"

"Could it be that what we saw just now is in it, and this corpse was also destroyed by it?"

Hearing this, Cao Ang suddenly regained his spirits, but this time he did not act rashly, but took the lead in asking Wu Liang for his opinion, "Your talented brother, as long as I order someone to push down this grave, it can be done immediately." Knowing what the hell is hidden here, what do you think?"

"Brother Zixiu, please be careful."

Wu Liang did not stop this time.

Between protective excavation and revealing the truth, if he can't achieve the best of both worlds, he will definitely choose the latter without hesitation, because it is very likely to be related to the safety of the trip.

What's more, there are dozens of other tombs of the same type.

"Just wait for your words, come on!"

Cao Ang gave an order, and the two guards walked around to the other side that was not covered by the yellow-brown liquid, rushed forward and kicked hard at the middle and lower part of the tomb.

"Crash!"

After a while of noise, the tomb of the cat has turned into a pile of rocks.

However, the headless corpse did not fall along with it.

Because it was firmly tied to a log with a diameter of about ten centimeters, the bottom of the log was embedded in the masonry ground, and it looked very solid.

at the same time.

Wu Liang and others saw an even more shocking scene.

It was seen that the skin of this headless corpse had cracked many openings, and the yellow-brown liquid was slowly oozing out along these openings.

And under the brown translucent crystal-like skin of this headless corpse.

It can be seen that thousands of maggot-like plump and strip-shaped worms are squirming crazily together, and even many worms as thick as little fingers have squeezed out of these cracked openings!

"Surgery!"

Yu Ji suddenly yelled, "I know, this is a thinning technique! It's a conscienceless thinning technique!"

　Thanks to [Ming Qiaoer] boss for his support.
