Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 310 Burglary? (4000)

It is impossible for anyone to have no waves in his heart under such circumstances.

At this moment, Wu Liang felt like a piece of swan meat tied to a rope, while the creepy monster with a strange human face below was like a toad waiting patiently to be fed.

If it weren't for the fact that his current location is about a hundred meters above the river, even a toad of such a huge size probably wouldn't be able to grow such a long tongue, and this unknown monster doesn't seem to have the ability to climb rock walls. After all, it didn't take the initiative to climb up the rock wall to look for food, but just quietly surfaced that weird human face to show Wu Liang a "gap girl" smile.

Wu Liang would definitely call out immediately and ask Dian Wei to drag himself up the cliff as quickly as possible.

In this way, I adjusted my mentality slightly, trying to calm myself down as much as possible.

Wu Liang looked at the monster below again, although he still had some palpitations, but at least it was not as numb as before.

The creepy face of the monster was slightly flat, larger than the sewer manhole covers that are common in later generations. This is absolutely impossible to be a real human face, because there is no such a large human face in the world.

However, the shape and distribution of its facial features are very similar to those of a human face.

Eyes are eyes, noses are noses, and mouths are mouths.

Through its big mouth with the creepy smile of a "gap girl", Wu Liang even vaguely saw the row of sharp teeth in its mouth.

Although Wu Liang still doesn't believe that there is a so-called "river god" in this world, he really doesn't know what this monster is, and he is at a loss...

While Wu Liang was looking at the monster, the monster was also looking at Wu Liang.

But from the beginning to the end, it didn't make any drastic moves, it just floated quietly in the water, and the body that could only see a shadow under the water's surface occasionally swayed slightly.

Wu Liang also didn't understand what the monster meant by smiling at him all the time.

But if the monster just kept like this, Wu Liang would definitely not continue to accompany him. He still had more important things to do.

and so……

"Dian Wei!"

Wu Liang let out a howl at the top of the cliff.

"What's the matter, son?"

Dian Wei's voice came from above immediately, but he didn't poke his head out of the cliff like Yu Ji, but just shouted to Wu Liang. After all, he was still holding the "silkworm silk" in his hand. It is also Wu Liang's lifeblood.

"Did you see this monster below? First ask Yu Ji, Jingjing and Yang Wanli to hold Baosi for you temporarily, and you go to the side to find a few larger rocks and smash it on the head for me!"

Wu Liang shouted rather pessimistically.

Although he speculated before that at such a height, this monster should not be able to do anything to him, but the speculation is only speculation after all, and it is still impossible to take it seriously, after all, it is related to his own life.

So he had to try it out first.

Dian Wei attacked it first, so it should be easy to irritate it. If this monster can't do anything to him, it means that his previous speculation was correct, and he can relax and continue to explore the hanging coffin.

And if this monster is provoked, it immediately shows abilities that may be detrimental to itself.

Naturally, Wu Liang didn't dare to continue exploring the hanging coffin, so he asked Dian Wei to drag him up immediately, and then tried to get rid of the monster first before proceeding to the next step.

"My lord, this is the river god who can call the wind and rain. We have no respect for him. This is going against the sky. Maybe it will bring disaster to us. Please think again, my lord!"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Ji's exclamation came from above.

Although this old boy has a lot of experience, he is also the most superstitious person in the Tuan army, so every time he goes to the tomb, he is the most capable of making a fuss, telling some frightening folk rumors regardless of the occasion, and everyone The spirit is also very tense.

"so what?"

But Wu Liang said in a very bachelor way, "We are people who go against the sky. If what the boatmen said before is true, it smiled at me because it wanted to eat me. There is no reason for it to want to eat me. But I still want to give it face, hit its mother, hit me until it can't laugh!"

"promise!"

Dian Wei never disobeyed Wu Liang's orders, so he didn't care what Yu Ji said just now, after he answered, he didn't need to take a breath.

Just hear the "call".

A football-sized stone fell from the cliff and hit the monster still grinning strangely in the river.

"Wow!"

There was a loud noise, and water splashed everywhere.

It's a pity that the stone's accuracy was still a bit off, and it landed in the river water only half a meter away from the monster.

The monster obviously didn't expect Wu Liang and the others to be so instinctive, and was also taken aback by the huge movement and splash, and quickly thumped and sank into the water.

However, it did not leave, but dived to a place more than ten meters away, resurfaced the human face, continued to look at Wu Liang and grinned strangely.

next second.

"Wow!"

Another rock of about the same size fell down again, but unfortunately the accuracy was worse than before, and it landed about two meters away from the monster.

This is no wonder Dian Wei.

This cliff is nearly 200 meters high. With such a height and distance, even if you have practiced it, you may not be able to hit it accurately, let alone a target that will keep moving.

Just like basketball in the later generations, all those players have the same basic skills. I don’t know how many times they have practiced shooting. Isn’t it the same that they can’t even make free throws without any interference?
This matter is not only a matter of strength, but also the feel is very important.

What's more, what Dian Wei threw was a stone, not a hollow basketball. Such a big stone must weigh at least a few dozen catties, and it would be difficult for a thinner person to carry it, let alone throw it out.

But this time, the monster was still startled.

It flopped and sank into the water again, and then surfaced the human face in a farther place, grinning at Wu Liang again.

"Wow!"

When the third stone fell again, it fell about five meters away from it.

It seems that this is almost the limit of Dian Wei's power. Although Dian Wei's power is far beyond that of ordinary people, he is still an individual, and human beings have limits.

But this monster is very alert.

Even so, it still sank and swam a little farther away before surfacing.

"Brother Dianwei, it's alright."

Wu Liang finally opened his mouth to drink Dian Wei.

This monster has repeatedly made compromises, which has given Wu Liang a clear understanding, so he is relieved a lot, and is not too worried that it will threaten his life.

"Wei failed to hit the God of the River, please come down to me!"

Immediately, Dian Wei's guilty voice came from above.

"Brother Dianwei, don't blame yourself. I didn't intend to kill it, so it doesn't matter whether I hit it or not. On the contrary, with your help, I have obtained the information I want to know. Next, I will continue to investigate these hanging coffins. Please Brother Dianwei will lend a helping hand again."

Wu Liang said with satisfaction.

……

Then Wu Liang finally stopped being afraid of the "river god" and "the river god's smile".

Someone was pulling a safety rope as strong as the "silkworm silk" on it. Wu Liang knew it well, so he quickly adapted to his fear of heights, jumping up and down on the hanging coffin on the cliff like a monkey.

These hanging coffins are much the same.

After opening a few coffins for inspection, Wu Liang stopped opening the coffins, but focused on recording the arrangement of these hanging coffins.

During this process, Wu Liang also discovered some small details.

There are no hanging coffins placed on the cliffs in some places, nor are the logs supporting the hanging coffins inserted, but there are still some thigh-thick holes up to one meter deep.

These holes were dug by hand.

Whether it is the entrance or the interior, some very obvious traces of excavation can be found.

From these traces, it can be inferred that the chisel tool should be a flat chisel that is not too large, and the width of this chisel should not exceed 5 cm.

As for the material of this chisel, it is hard to say.

Ironware actually appeared in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and they were relatively popular. Many folk farm tools from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods discovered by later archaeologists were surrounded by ironware.

However, if it was an ordinary iron tool of that era, if you want to cut through such a rock wall that is very hard at first glance, the tool wear must be very serious, and the construction difficulty is naturally not trivial.

Even the fine iron used by the engineering shovels of the Huan army today is not easy to deal with such rock walls.

"Could it be that logs were inserted into these holes, and hanging coffins were placed on them, but after a long time, these hanging coffins and logs failed to withstand the ravages of wind and rain, and fell after breaking?"

Looking at these empty holes, Wu Liang guessed in his heart.

In the hanging coffin remains discovered in the archaeological world in later generations, there are many such cases of falling.

But after thinking about it, this guess doesn't seem to be very tenable.

After all, these holes are a full meter deep. If the log is inserted into it, even if it cannot support the hanging coffin and falls together, there should still be a part of it in the hole instead of being pulled out completely. There may be nothing left.

Unless these holes were not used to arrange hanging coffins at all, but were used for other purposes.

Or maybe someone came here later and used manpower to pull out the log...

Without other supporting evidence.

Wu Liang would not be able to deduce anything more through these holes for a while, so he had to put it aside temporarily and continue to investigate the remaining hanging coffins.

Soon after.

Wu Liang finally made a new discovery.

It was a hanging coffin that looked nothing special at first glance. Only when you looked closely did you discover that the coffin lid of this hanging coffin was not sealed with copper nails, but simply covered on top.

So it is.

When Wu Liang jumped onto the hanging coffin, the coffin lid shifted a little bit, so that Wu Liang was flashed, and almost lost control of his balance, and fell directly from the hanging coffin.

However, with the "safety rope", this situation can only be regarded as a near miss.

So Wu Liang just had shortness of breath for a while, his heart beat a few times, and he calmed down soon.

"What's the matter with this coffin?"

Wu Liang was naturally a little puzzled.

All the hanging coffins I had seen before were sealed with copper nails, only this hanging coffin was treated differently, of course Wu Liang wanted to check it out.

What's more, the coffin lid of this coffin has been staggered by a small hole because of his flash, and it can be lifted to see the situation inside with almost no effort.

But after lifting half of the coffin lid, Wu Liang was stunned.

Because there is nothing in this coffin.

Not a single bit of dead bone, no trace of funerary goods.

Even strictly speaking, this coffin cannot be regarded as a complete coffin.

Because this coffin lacks a coffin board, it is just an incomplete cuboid structure, like a semi-finished product.

And the less side is the side that is close to the rock wall.

What surprised Wu Liang even more.

It was because of the lack of this coffin board that the rock wall behind the hanging coffin appeared in front of Wu Liang unreservedly, and there was a black circular passage with a diameter of nearly one meter on it!

This passage is the same as the small holes he saw before, and there are some very obvious excavation marks in both the hole and the inner wall.

And it can be judged from these traces that the same tool should be used.

"This is……"

Wu Liang was also not quite sure what this channel was used for.

But he could see that the diameter of this passage could accommodate an adult of normal size crawling through it without feeling crowded, and could even easily retreat.

Wu Liang felt that he had to go in and have a look.

Although this move was a little risky, he felt that it would not be a loss to take this risk.

after all.

This unusual semi-finished coffin is placed here, it seems that it is to block this passage, so as to achieve the effect of deceiving people.

Even after discovering this passage, in Wu Liang's view, the hanging coffin full of cliffs has become a deliberate cover-up, in order to hide the semi-finished coffin that hides this passage, It may even be to hide the small holes dug out on the cliff.

Combined with the fact that there may be a "Gongshu Tomb" hidden here, and the description of Sun Yezu.

Wu Liang even suspected that those small holes were actually used to explore the tomb, just like the holes left after his "Luoyang shovel" explored the tomb.

And this passage is a hole dug through by robbers. The Gongshu Tomb may have been ransacked by a group of tomb robbers!
Think so.

Wu Liang finally made up his mind and completely lifted the coffin lid.

Then he took out the Suihou bead, held the bead in one hand and pulled out the copper dagger in the other, jumped into the half-finished coffin, leaned down and looked into the passage with the light of the Suihou bead.

This hope does not matter.

"I go?!"

Wu Liang suddenly took a deep breath.

I saw that where the passage extended about two meters inward, there was a horrifying mummy lying on the ground, with a withered hand stretched out as hard as possible, as if trying to climb out of this passage!
