Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 253 Fill in another fierce general! (4000)

Wu Liang didn't know what these two beads were.

However, there were no other items nearby except for these two beads, so Wu Liang could only associate the red light he saw just now with them.

of course.

Before he figured out the composition and function of these two beads, Wu Liang would definitely not touch them rashly, but just used the engineering shovel in his hand to scoop them out from the gnat slurry and examine them carefully.

The whole body of these two strange beads is blood red.

Judging from the heavy weight, it should be solid, the material is not transparent, and the surface is not smooth, but a relatively flat frosted state, a bit like a naturally formed pebble bead, but it is a very standard and correct round sphere.

"My dear brother (son), what is this thing?"

Everyone was soon attracted by the two beads Wu Liang found, and they looked over curiously.

"I do not know either."

Wu Liang shook his head, and patiently said to everyone, "However, these two beads fell from the giant gnat. I saw two clusters of red light on the giant gnat before, so I suspect that the two balls of red light have nothing to do with these two beads. It's about the beads."

"Brother Xian, are you talking about the eyes of that evil thing?"

Cao Ang immediately accepted the words, frowned slightly and said, "Just now when this evil thing rushed into the tomb, it turned into a giant face. At that time, its eyes were two groups of red light, which looked very frightening."

"Exactly."

Wu Liang turned around and asked, "Brother Zixiu, do you know what this is?"

"Hahaha, I don't know."

Cao Ang laughed dryly, shook his head and said.

"Although the old man doesn't know what this bead is, he has a guess in his heart."

Yu Ji took the initiative to speak at this time.

"Sir, please speak."

Wu Liang looked at Yu Ji again.

"The old man heard that there are certain things that can live for thousands of years and may give birth to demon beads. Dragon beads are in the jaws, dragon beads are in the skin, snake beads are in the mouth, fish beads are in the eyes, turtle beads are in the feet, and turtle beads are in the armor... The demon beads are the wisdom of these things. The essence condensed with life is the fruit of their cultivation over time."

Yu Ji said solemnly, "This mausoleum has been preserved for nearly a thousand years. These gnats may live longer than this tomb. If the rumors I heard are true, they may also give birth to demon beads. I don't know what it is for, or if it is a demon bead, but I still need to find out."

It's old fantasy.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was the setting of future fantasy novels.

Wu Liang thought to himself.

However, the saying about the demon beads did appear in some documents in the pre-Qin period.

As far as Wu Liang knows, many of the settings in the fantasy novels of later generations were actually adapted and created by the author based on ancient documents. Similar descriptions can also be found in some ancient literature on the way of cultivation and promotion.

In the history of the Celestial Dynasty, the pursuit of immortality, attainment of Taoism and immortality is an eternal topic.

Aside from the common people, there are countless emperors who are addicted to this way and finally succeeded in killing them, but this kind of trend has never been cut off, and even in later generations, there are still criminals who use this topic to commit crimes. Lie, and still some people believe...

It is also because of this that there are too many folk rumors related to this Tao, and various versions emerge in endlessly.

Taking history as a mirror, Wu Liang didn't quite believe the rumors in this regard.

After all, archeology is actually a scientific research work in later generations, and archaeologists are very rigorous scientific workers, not metaphysical workers.

However, after going through so many things, especially after seeing the giant gnat that seemed to have a certain IQ and self-awareness just now, Wu Liang could only have reservations about Ji's statement.

The most important thing is that it is very likely that these two beads were emitting red light just now.

Based on this alone, Wu Liang felt that it was necessary to conduct more in-depth research and experiments on it.

"What the old man said is actually a direction worth considering."

Wu Liang nodded noncommittally, and then did not rush to touch the two beads directly. Instead, he took out a cloth bag to wrap it layer by layer, and temporarily put it in the bronze coffin not far away. He will study it slowly after taking it out. .

By now.

The excavation of this Qiai cemetery has come to an end. Even if there are other worms in the tomb, Wu Liang already has a way to deal with it, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, there is still a lot of follow-up work.

For example, the "Taigong Seal" there, and the "Wooden Armor Man", and the two beads just discovered.

There are still many doubts about these things that have not been solved, and it is still unknown whether they can be solved. This is the follow-up work that needs to be completed urgently.

It's a pity.

Wu Liang did not find the same "epitaph" as Haihunhou's tomb in the Qiai cemetery, nor did he find other documents that recorded these funerary objects in detail, so the subsequent research work is a process from 0 to 1. One can imagine.

Maybe it's not enough just to bury your head in the research.

Among the archaeological methods that Wu Liang learned before, there is another method to solve archaeological puzzles: continue to excavate more ancient tombs of the same period or related to the tomb owner.

The ancient tombs of the same period have the same cultural background, so these ancient tombs can be connected in series for parallel research.

The cultural relics found in one ancient tomb are likely to be able to find relevant documents in another ancient tomb of the same period to get the answer.

The same goes for the associated tombs.

The burial objects in Qi Ai Cemetery are also very likely to be found in the ancient tombs of his ancestors, descendants, or even friends...

and so.

Research on "History of Qi" will continue.

at the same time.

Wu Liang also plans to list the important historical figures before and after the same period from the history he knows, and then review the archaeological excavation cases learned or understood by later generations, and find out the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period where the specific location can be identified and give priority to excavation, perhaps It is also possible to find related literature records.

"Not to mention the matter of these two beads, what shall we do next?"

Seeing that Wu Liang seemed to have finished his work, Cao Ang asked again hastily.

The only thing to blame is that the worm slurry is too disgusting, and the taste is extremely delicious. Not only Cao Ang, but everyone also doesn't want to stay in this kind of place for a moment.

"Have you slowed down yet? If you slow down, we'll be ready to leave the tomb."

Wu Liang smiled.

"Slow down, slow down."

Everyone nodded.

"In that case, let's go."

Wu Liang finally gave the order.

So Wu Liang, Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and the personal guard lifted the bronze coffin again, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji opened the way ahead, and the group dragged their exhausted bodies to the outside of the tomb...

……

When a group of people came out of the tomb, the sun had already reached the foot of the mountain, and a gorgeous fire cloud was burning in the sky.

In fact, not much time has passed between going here to enter the tomb after lunch, and coming out now, but everyone feels as if they have passed away.

Especially for a novice like Cao Ang, the vicissitudes and fatigue in his heart are indescribable.

As for the other guard who was "hugged" by the gnat giant, when everyone saw him again on the return journey, he had completely become a worm's paradise.

The gnats were crawling in and out of his body unscrupulously, and the blood mixed with the meat grinder like a meat grinder was slowly flowing out of his seven orifices as the gnats surged... Look It can be seen that although the corpse in the tomb was not sealed, the gnats still planned to eat him into an empty shell, and then use it as a breeding ground for eggs, which seemed to be the instinct of these gnats.

Cao Ang didn't hesitate, and after giving a gift, he poured kerosene for making torches on the body of the bodyguard, and burned it completely.

And after that, the joy of the rest of the life in everyone's hearts became less, and they all fell into silence.

As for the backfilling of the Qiai Cemetery.

Wu Liang's plan was to bury and hide the entire secret road under the ruins of the ancient city. Cao Ang immediately took care of it, and soon arranged for his direct troops to handle it secretly.

This saved some energy for Wu Liang and the Tuan army.

Wu Liang naturally had no objections.

……

The next day.

Wu Liang slept again until noon before waking up.

My muscles are sore and my body is weak. This is the aftereffect of yesterday's excessive exertion in the tomb.

After getting up from the bed and walking out of the house with such difficulty, I saw that everyone else had already woken up, but they all looked the same, even Dian Wei's eyes were swollen from sleep.

This is something that can't be helped, no matter how strong Dian Wei is, he is still a human being, and the strength he exerted yesterday was far greater than him.

"Young Master, General Cao came to look for you not long ago. He didn't bother you when he saw that you hadn't woken up. He just told you to go see him after you woke up."

Dian Wei stepped forward to report.

"It should be to ask about the next actions of the Tuan army."

Wu Liang nodded and said, "Now that the tomb has been robbed, he has not only harvested thousands of soldiers, but also harvested so many pearls. He is overjoyed with his satisfaction, and wishes to go back and return to give the envoy a surprise."

"What about us?"

Yu Ji came up and asked.

"Although it's spring now, the weather is still a bit cold. This time the brothers went out and suffered a lot. Let's go back to Chenliu to recuperate for a while, and make plans when the weather warms up."

Wu Liang said, "By the way, that set of "History of Qi" is also in Chenliu. Please trouble the old man to continue studying it after he goes back. There may be something useful to us in it."

"Don't worry, son."

Yu Ji said happily, his old bones are indeed a little bit powerless recently.

"I don't know when the young master plans to leave? The subordinates should make preparations in advance."

Yang Wanli came over at the right time to ask again.

"It depends on General Cao's intentions. This time, we will return with General Cao. This way, we don't have to worry about safety issues, and we can go comfortably with someone to take care of us."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Yes."

Yang Wanli responded, but again he was coy and hesitant to speak.

"Do you have anything else?"

Wu Liang asked strangely.

"It's nothing special, it's just...just..."

Yang Wanli was still hesitating, wanting to speak but not daring to speak.

"Look at your prospects, let me tell you for you!"

Yu Ji finally couldn't see it anymore, took his words and said to Wu Liang, "My lord, Yang Wanli also wants to go to the tomb with you from now on, and is willing to help you, but I don't know if you think of him or not. "

"Oh?"

Wu Liang looked at Yang Wanli carefully, and asked seriously, "Why do you have such an idea?"

"Returning to the young master, the young master has shown a kindness to his subordinates, and the subordinates have been thinking about how to repay the young master... After hearing what happened to the young master and others in the tomb yesterday, the subordinates became more and more panicked."

Yang Wanli clasped his fists quickly and said, "Although this subordinate is a surrendered soldier, he has been with the young master for some time, no matter how bad it is, it will be earlier than Mr. Yu. The young master can bring Mr. Yu to the tomb together, and live with Mr. Yu." They died together, but never brought their subordinates into the tomb, and did not give them the opportunity to live and die with the young master, so the subordinates were terrified, and boldly begged the young master to be fulfilled, and the subordinates would definitely risk their lives to protect the young master, and advance and retreat with the young master! "

"Yang Wanli, you don't have to worry about that."

Wu Liang didn't expect Yang Wanli to have such thoughts before, so he smiled and reassured him, "As the saying goes, there is a specialization in surgery, and I see that you are better at spying on news, so I entrust the task of spying on the news to you." , everyone just has a different division of labor, and there is no intention of favoring one over another."

While talking, Wu Liang was still thinking in his heart that after returning this time, he would distribute the planned rings to Yu Ji and Yang Wanli after returning this time, which could be regarded as giving them a clear core position so that no one would feel wronged.

"The young master is worried that his subordinates are not capable enough, and I'm afraid it will slow down the young master?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Wanli insisted again, "Don't dare to hide my son, although this subordinate almost died because of that demon tree, it was a blessing in disguise, and some unimaginable changes occurred in his body. Come and volunteer."

"Oh? What changes?"

Wu Liang asked strangely.

"This change was only discovered last night by my subordinates, and the young master will know it at a glance."

Yang Wanli cupped his hands again, and trotted to the brick wall next to the yard.

There is a small quadrangular square hole on the brick wall, and a cross is built with bricks and stones in the small hole, which is finally divided into four smaller square holes, forming a decorative pattern similar to the shape of windows.

Wu Liang could tell that such a small hole could only fit an adult's head through at most, so he still didn't understand what Yang Wanli wanted him to see for the time being.

Followed by.

A scene that made Wu Liang dumbfounded appeared.

After Yang Wanli came to the brick wall, he first stretched one arm into the small hole, and then his whole body suddenly twisted, and the joints all over his body "cracked" as if he wanted to tear himself apart. generally.

next moment.

Yang Wanli pushed forward suddenly, not only his head went through the small hole, but also his shoulders, which were much wider than the small hole, passed through miraculously!
