Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 311 Cut in half! (4000)

The preservation of the mummy is not very good either.

Rather than saying it was a mummy, it was better to say that it was a skeleton with only a small part of dry skin remaining. Most of the dry bones had long been exposed without the dry skin wrapping.

However, compared with those coffin owners in those hanging coffins, the arrangement of dead bones still maintains a human shape.

This shows that the mummy may not have moved after death, and the posture it maintains at this moment may be the posture when it died.

Just looking at him...

After confirming that the one in front of him was a mummy with no signs of life or transformation, Wu Liang gradually calmed down after being startled, and carefully observed the mummy in the passage with the light of the Suihou Pearl.

A small portion of shriveled skin remained on the face of the mummy.

Although it is impossible to accurately judge the expression of the mummy through the incomplete dry skin, some inferences can still be drawn through his mouth that maintains a somewhat exaggerated open state.

In what state would a person open his mouth so exaggeratedly?

It's just a few things: an uncontrollable sneeze, a state of extreme panic, being surprised by something, or yawning after falling asleep.

Sneezing and yawning can basically be ruled out.

Because the posture of the mummy at this moment does not match it very well, it is obviously a posture that only occurs when a person dies suddenly, and when a person is facing the threat of death, the body usually secretes many substances that can keep the body awake or even excite. Matter, yawning is definitely impossible, and the possibility of sneezing is extremely small.

Then.

There is a high possibility that it should be panic and surprise.

But what is it that frightens or surprises the mummy?

This is another question worth exploring.

After thinking about it so deeply, looking at the dark passage behind the mummy, Wu Liang felt another chill in his heart.

The posture held by this mummy is most likely crawling outward.

That is to say, the thing that frightened or surprised him probably came from the depths of this passage... and Wu Liang was about to enter the passage to investigate now, so he felt a little uncertain.

the most important is.

In the current situation, it is obviously impossible to bring a few backbones of the Huren army as companions like the previous tomb visits, otherwise, if there is really something inside, in this passage that can only be used by an adult to crawl forward, you will think about it for a while. It is impossible to withdraw, and there is even no room for resistance, it will only lead to death for everyone.

In other words, this time I am afraid he can only rely on himself, at least he can only rely on himself to explore this passage.

And knowing that the legendary "Gongshu Tomb" is nearby, and even this passage may be the only way, Wu Liang will definitely not give up easily...

So think backwards.

Wu Liang first moved the mysterious small drum to his chest, and then confirmed that the Taigong Seal was in his arms, then put away the copper dagger and replaced it with a longer engineering shovel, then raised his head and shouted to the top: "Dian Wei!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Dian Wei's response immediately came from above the cliff.

"Tell everyone, I found a passage behind the hanging coffin, and now I want to go in alone to investigate, I temporarily tied the silkworm silk to the hanging coffin, wait for me for half an hour, if half an hour later I haven't come out yet, you take back the silkworm silk and let Yang Wanli come down to try to find me. If you find that I am dead at that time, you will give up this operation and ignore my dead body. To Bai Jingjing, you can divide the rest by yourself, and then return to Deng County to lead us together, disband on the spot or make your own decision on the return journey, understand?"

Wu Liang explained to Dian Wei loudly.

It’s just that for some reason, even he himself was a little moved by these words, and felt that he was actually a good leader, at least to his own people.

"..."

After hearing these words, everyone in the Huan army fell into silence for an instant.

It seems that this channel is not a simple channel.

It was not the first day for them to follow Wu Liang, and they knew him well enough, knowing what he had decided, they would definitely not be able to persuade them.

And there is no need to say more about those hypocritical words, Wu Liang basically does not accept this kind of thing, and sometimes even shows some disgust, even if it is hypocritical from the bottom of his heart.

"Dian Wei?"

Wu Liang knew that the people above must have heard his explanation clearly, but he might have started to be hypocritical again so he didn't respond, so he yelled again.

"Young master, please be careful, Wei is here waiting for your safe return."

Dian Wei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied.

"The surname is Wu!"

Bai Jingjing called out suddenly for some reason.

"what?"

Wu Liang just wanted to respond, but she continued, "Listen well, if you can come out unscathed this time, after you go back, I will promise you to violate the Bai family ancestor's precept once, and you will never break your promise!"

"?!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Huan army was taken aback, and turned their heads to look at Bai Jingjing with doubts.

They only know that Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing often stay in the same room late at night, but they don't know how far the two of them are, let alone what the Bai family's ancestral motto is, so they can't understand the meaning of Bai Jingjing's words.

As a result, Wu Liang's excited, even slightly frivolous voice came from below: "You said this yourself, everyone, give me a testimony, just say this... Dian Wei, pull me up now, I decided not to explore this channel, and replace Yang Wanli with me!"

"Ugh?!"

Everyone in the Huan army was taken aback again.

What kind of secret language are these two talking about, and why the more they listen, the more confused they become.

"?!"

Bai Jingjing's pretty face was also stunned for a moment, and then she blushed immediately, with a look of nervousness appearing between her brows and eyes.

Apparently she didn't expect Wu Liang to have such a reaction. He didn't talk about martial arts at all, and didn't have the bottom line that a human being should have. Let someone hurt your own bed, dirty!

"Wu Youcai, you shameless and filthy bastard! You'd better die inside and never come out, no one cares about your life or death!"

After being ashamed, Bai Jingjing became annoyed again, stomped her feet immediately, and shouted at him angrily, although she dare not say that she can turn her face faster than turning a book in front of everyone, but she is already a different person.

People couldn't understand it any more.

"This... old man, what exactly are sister Jingjing and elder brother Youcai talking about, why can't I understand a single word?"

Zhuge Liang's slightly childish little face was already full of confusion, he glanced at Yu Ji who was next to him, and asked weakly.

"A woman's mind, in fact, can I and other mortals guess it?"

Yu Ji stroked his beard and shook his head slightly, and sighed with the attitude of someone who has come here, "If you are still sensible, then listen to the old man's advice, and just be like the old man. Although the fruit of the Tao is hard to find, it is clearer than a woman's mind. A lot."

"..."

Zhuge Liang seemed to understand, subconsciously glanced at Huang Yueying beside him.

the other side.

Hearing Wu Liang's words, although he also didn't understand what Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing were talking about, Wu Liang's order would not be discounted by Dian Wei, and immediately responded loudly: "No! Please hold on to the rope, my lord. Pull the son up!"

Yang Wanli also hurriedly checked his equipment, ready to replace Wu Liang and go down to explore the unknown channel that seemed to have a huge risk.

"No need."

But Wu Liang suddenly changed his words and said, "Don't waste time, you just wait up there, remember what I just said, and remember what Jingjing said just now for me, and I will ask her to honor it later!"

Talking.

Wu Liang, who had made all the preparations, finally bent down and groped into the passage.

……

In a short while, Wu Liang had already arrived at the side of the mummy.

There were still some pieces of sackcloth left on the mummy, which should be the remnants of the mummy's previous clothes.

Next to the mummy, Wu Liang also found several strange tools.

Among them was a chisel made of metal half a meter long.

This thing looks like iron but not iron, and it is also a little different from Wu Liang's copper dagger.

Although a layer of rust had already formed on the surface of the chisel, the rust was very thin, not so much rust, but more like a patina formed from long-term use.

And the relatively flat front part of this chisel can just match the chisel marks on this passage and the previous small caves... From this point of view, those small caves and this passage should be chiseled out with such a chisel Yes, that is to say, this mummy should be the person who built this hanging coffin, or one of them.

Wu Liang temporarily pinned the chisel to his waist.

The material used in this thing is still intact after a hundred years in such an environment, and it can dig holes on the hard rock wall, and the tip of the chisel has not yet seen the slightest sign of curling, which is enough to show that this thing is a Good things, whether you take them out and use them as chisels, or melt them down to make other tools, they are all good choices.

Besides.

Wu Liang also found a bronze compass and an ink fountain made of wood.

This bronze compass looks not much different from Yu Ji's compass, but unfortunately, the degree of rust is much worse than that of the chisel, and the engraved symbols on it are almost unclear.

But this ink fountain is relatively well preserved.

The surface of the wooden part was painted with a layer of black paint, and there were no signs of cracking for the time being, and the wood itself was not as decayed as the coffin outside.

It's just that the hemp rope assembled in the ink fountain is not so powerful.

These hemp ropes have been broken and scattered, and the whole body shows a faded red color, which will turn into dry powder with a light touch... Presumably these hemp ropes should have been stained with red pigments such as cinnabar before.

There are many supernatural legends about the ink fountain, a carpenter's tool, in later generations.

It is said that this thing has the function of avoiding evil and exorcising evil spirits. Many Taoist masters even use this thing to drive away ghosts. It is also reflected in some zombie-themed film and television works. appear together.

Wu Liang was also not sure if this thing had such a function.

But what is certain is that the ink fountain is one of Lu Ban's inventions. The reason why there are such legends among the folks in later generations is probably inseparable from Lu Ban and Lu Ban's mysterious and mysterious "Gongshu Jing".

and so.

Wu Liang also stuffed this little ink fountain into the cloth bag he was carrying with him. Maybe he can ask Yu Ji and Sun Ye to take a look when he goes out later. As for the heavily rusted bronze compass...

Let's take it first, anyway, it's not big, it's not heavy, and it doesn't take much effort.

After doing this.

Wu Liang pulled the mummy aside with an engineering shovel, intending to continue to investigate further into the passage.

As a result, he discovered another frightening situation:

This mummy is not a complete corpse at all!

It had already been broken up to the waist, and now only the upper body was left, while the lower body was nowhere to be seen!
This time Wu Liang was not surprised.

He was just a little surprised.

With the light of the Suihou Pearl, Wu Liang looked into the depths of the passage, and within the range that the light could irradiate, there was no shadow of the lower body of the mummy at all.

Wu Liang then carefully inspected the bones around the waist of the ordinary mummy.

There are obvious fragmentation marks on the bones there, and these marks are also very old. This is probably the main reason why the mummy kept this posture and died in this place...

This is undoubtedly an extremely painful way of death, no different from a cruel half-cut!
Also.

Wu Liang swept away the dust on the ground behind the mummy with his sleeve, and after careful inspection, he soon found black dragging marks that were no longer obvious on the rocky ground.

This [-]% is the mummy crawling and leaving blood before death.

That is to say, before arriving at this place, only the upper body of the mummy was left.

In this case, people will not die immediately, and can maintain consciousness and action ability for a period of time, and the mummy used the last consciousness and action ability to crawl here, driven by the desire to survive, and then swallowed the last breath Tone...

At the same time as he drew this inference, the soles of Wu Liang's feet felt cold again.

This shows that there may be something more terrifying in this passage, and this thing may have the power to easily cut people in half!

"call--!"

Taking a deep breath, Wu Liang forced himself to calm down.

Now that things have happened, he is absolutely unwilling to give up easily, so he will still bite the bullet and continue to go deep into the passage to investigate.

But now he will be more careful to prevent himself from falling into the same tragic end.

After a little relief, Wu Liang finally collected his thoughts and continued to go deeper along the passage.

Now, he only climbed about four or five meters forward, and he has reached the end of this passage. The light of the Suihou Pearl also dispersed silently, and his vision suddenly became clear.

This is obviously a very grand cave, full of strangely shaped stalactites everywhere.

"Tick!"

The sound of water droplets not far away.

Following the sound, Wu Liang saw a meandering underground river.

　Thank you [Sonoda Shutdown] boss for the 5000 coin reward and support, I love you so much.
