Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 315 Water Ghoul! ! ! (4200)

"who?"

In horror, Wu Liang subconsciously called out.

However, his voice was not loud. First, he was afraid of disturbing the "River God" who might come back at any time. Second, in such an extremely tense atmosphere, most people would habitually hold their throats and speak, and Wu Liang was no exception. .

"..."

pity.

No one responded to him, not even a little movement, the crooked figure that looked like a man seemed to be the darkness itself, and easily merged with the darkness.

"Hey, if you can hear me, I hope you can understand that I don't have any malicious intentions. In fact, I am just a passerby who accidentally got lost in this place. If I can find a way out, I will leave on my own."

After waiting for a while, Wu Liang then tentatively said to the darkness where the figure disappeared.

"..."

Still no response.

But Wu Liang didn't think he was blindsided.

The small stone that fell on the trail not far ahead is real. Under normal circumstances, if no one accidentally touched it, how could it roll down inexplicably?

Thinking of this, Wu Liang waited for a while, and then continued to bow to the darkness in front of him, and said seriously: "If you don't want me to continue to move forward, please show yourself. If you don't respond, I will Assuming that I have obtained your acquiescence, I will continue to move forward to find a way out, please forgive me if I offend you."

"..."

Still no response.

"Hahaha, don't hide, I've already spotted you!"

Wu Liang suddenly raised his tone and started bluffing again.

"..."

Still no response.

None of this is fooled...

Wu Liang felt a little numb in his heart, and some cold sweat was already oozing from his back.

Now that things have happened, he really can't be sure whether the figure that flashed past can understand his words, and he doesn't know whether that figure is a person, let alone what that figure means.

In this case, he naturally fell into a dilemma.

But there is one thing he can be sure of.

This figure must not be Yang Wanli who waited for half an hour without seeing him, and then came in to look for him according to the order, not to mention whether Yang Wanli could run in front of him inexplicably, if it was really Yang Wanli, this guy would definitely not dare to be in this situation. Under the circumstances, he played such a prank with him, because Wu Liang estimated that he would be able to beat him to death afterwards.

So pondered for a moment.

Although Wu Liang had no idea, he still decided to carry forward his fine tradition of being bold, careful, and thick-skinned, and continued to say to the dark: "Since your Excellency has not responded, it seems that your Excellency has acquiesced in my going forward. You are welcome."

Talking.

Wu Liang actually raised his foot and took two tentative steps forward.

He walked very carefully in these two steps, as if dancing on the tip of a knife, his eyes and ears were in a state of extreme concentration, as long as he found the slightest abnormality, he would immediately take evasive actions to avoid possible sneak attacks at any time.

however.

He didn't find anything unusual.

The flashing figure seemed to have really disappeared completely, or had really acquiesced in his actions, and did not give any warning or attack to him.

"This……"

In this way, Wu Liang felt even more uncertain.

If you agree, you agree, if you don't agree, you don't agree.

Anyway, it's okay to give me a happy word?

If you agree, everyone is happy.

If Wu Liang disagreed, he would go back the same way now, and then find a way to bring all the people in the Huan army in together, to see if he could discuss with this figure again by taking advantage of the large number of people, and finally came to a happy ending.

This kind of response is not given at all, but Wu Liang can't make up his mind...

Could it be that the figure I saw just now was not a living person at all, but other unknown creatures who could not understand human language, or even dangerous evil things?

In fact, I just saw that black hair-like thing in the dark river.

Some wild thoughts had already formed in Wu Liang's mind.

This is entirely due to some widely circulated folk horror legends heard by later generations, and even similar things have appeared in many film and television works and books.

Water ghoul.

In some places, it is also called water monkey, water ghost, or forbidden woman.

This kind of evil is formed by the unjust souls who died in the water and have not been reincarnated. It usually wanders at the bottom of the water, with layers of wildly growing hair floating in the water like water plants. If someone goes into the water, these hairs will hold the living tightly Entangled, trapped in the water and drowned alive, as its scapegoat, and then you can be reincarnated.

In addition, this kind of evil will sometimes go ashore to harm people, but it can't go far, usually on the bank of the river...

If this dark river connects with the Canglang River outside.

People in Shandu City often hold the "River God Marriage" ceremony here. There is also a folk custom of offering sacrifices to the "River God" to ask for his blessing. Many people must have died in vain in the nearby river. .

This provides some favorable conditions for the emergence of "water ghouls".

So when Wu Liang saw those black hair-like things growing in the water, there was a certain theoretical basis for his wild thoughts.

of course.

Before he actually saw this kind of evil thing, Wu Liang still wouldn't easily recognize his "crazy thoughts".

Because until now, he has not really encountered any evil spirits that are closely related to "Ghosts".

The "Ji" I encountered at the beginning seemed to be a mutation of a corpse, and it seemed that there was no trace of "humanity" that a "wronged soul" should have.

As for the "giant worm" I met not long ago, although that thing is theoretically related to the "wronged soul", it can only form a human form, and it does not show true "humanity".

In Wu Liang's mind, the "wronged soul" should have "humanity".

Mainly some negative emotions, such as hatred, resentment, anger, pain...etc.

Speaking from personal feelings.

Although "Yu" and "Giant Giant" both wanted to kill him at the time, Wu Liang did not feel "humanity" from them, but only felt the killing instinct similar to animals, which was in line with what he understood. The "wronged souls" of the two are so different that even Wu Liang feels that none of them can be regarded as "souls".

But honestly.

Now to let Wu Liang into the water, he must still be guilty.

He came to rob tombs, not to find evil things to formulate the Encyclopedia of evil things. If possible, he didn't want to touch those bad things.

Say.

Even if there are no "water ghouls" in this dark river, there is no guarantee that there are any dangerous creatures, such as piranhas, leeches, and "river gods", which are quite infiltrating...

……

Although there are some dilemmas.

But the flashing figure never responded, Wu Liang decided to enter after adjusting his mood.

If the opponent is a living person, even if Wu Liang is not as powerful as Dian Wei, he is not invincible in a fight. The copper dagger he carries with him and the chisel he picked up temporarily can be used to stand close to him.

If the other party is not a living person, but some kind of unknown evil thing, Wu Liang still has the Taigong seal and the mysterious small drum by his side.

Nor is it powerless to fight back.

This is called "have nothing to fear". Although Wu Liang may not have no fear in his heart, he still has something to support him to move forward, and it is not so easy to be scared off.

So go ahead.

He didn't see that weird figure again, but he found some scattered corpses one after another around the path.

These corpses were the same as the ones seen just now, they were all pierced through their heads from top to bottom, and they were naturally from the same group, and similarly, Wu Liang did not find any suspected murder weapons beside these corpses.

Due to the existence of that strange figure, Wu Liang didn't dare to be too distracted, so after quickly inspecting these corpses, he continued to explore.

But also after this.

He never saw that figure again, let alone heard any unusual movements.

So much so that Wu Liang really wondered if he had misjudged his vision before, and the small stone that rolled down the path before was actually just a small accident that happened by coincidence...

Keeping vigilance like this, he walked forward on this path for nearly ten minutes.

Wu Liang unexpectedly came to the end of the trail.

What stood in front of him was a steep rock wall that went up and down almost vertically. The height of this rock wall was unknown, and the light of the Suihou Pearl couldn't even reach the top.

At this moment.

In front of Wu Liang is a rock wall of unknown height, and the direction to the right is similar to the rock wall. Only the direction to the left and the path behind him can be walked.

But the direction of his left hand cannot actually be called a "road".

That is the dark river that extends all the way here.

At this moment, there are more "aquatic plants" that look like black hair in the dark river than before, and some of them have even floated to the surface of the water, looking like large groups of black duckweed, which is even more weird Unpredictable.

The only good thing is.

This dark river is no longer as wide as before, only about 3 meters wide.

Although Wu Liang was not a good swimmer, he was not a landlubber either. If there were no scary things in the river, it would not be difficult to cross it.

The question is, is it necessary to cross the river?
Wu Liang checked the vicinity carefully first, and found no other way out, or a secret passage that might be hidden. He naturally didn't want to believe that this cave that a group of people tried their best to come in to investigate ended here. Moreover, there is no way to fully explain the cause of death of those corpses that probably originated from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Especially those corpses whose heads had been cut open from top to bottom.

That obviously shouldn't be the masterpiece of the "River God". Even if he didn't see the whole picture of the "River God" clearly when he was outside, Wu Liang can imagine that it is difficult to have such a crime tool on him.

Without any choice.

Wu Liang had no choice but to look to the other side of the dark river.

The room for action on the other side seems to be much larger than the side where Wu Liang is, and the light of the Suihou Pearl cannot fully illuminate the rock wall at the end.

It was only vaguely able to see the outlines of some rugged rock walls in the darkness.

Wu Liang felt that he should get closer, so that the light of Suihou Zhu could illuminate the opposite rock wall.

Before that, because he had had some wild thoughts, he had been trying to keep a distance from the dark river full of unknown aquatic plants.

Firstly, it can make myself less distracted, and secondly, if there is really something in the river, it won't be so easy to hurt myself.

But now Wu Liang has reached a dead end and must find other paths.

"..."

Slightly calming down, looking at the dark river covered with "long black hair" a few meters away, even if he was only close to Wu Liang, he still felt a little guilty.

But this time he did not forget the magic weapon he carried with him.

Wu Liang had already moved the mysterious snare drum to his chest, and by the way, he also took out the Taigong Seal from his bosom, and unwrapped the layer of cloth wrapped around it.

then.

"Boom boom boom!"

Wu Liang stared at the dark river and beat the mysterious small drum on his chest.

The "long black hair" in the dark river has not changed in any way, just swaying gently in the seemingly calm river water as before.

This can actually be regarded as a normal phenomenon. No matter how calm the surface of the river looks, the water below the river may still have a non-violent flow.

It's just that this kind of situation is unavoidably not so normal in the eyes of Wu Liang, who already has "ghosts" in his heart.

"Boom boom boom!"

In order to further confirm safety, Wu Liang beat the snare drum on his chest again.

There were still no special changes this time, as if this was an ordinary dark river, in which grew some aquatic plants that looked like hair, quiet and uncontested.

"Is it really me who scares myself?"

At this point, Wu Liang was finally relieved.

Both the Taigong Seal and the mysterious small drum can be regarded as a sharp weapon to restrain evil things, especially the mysterious small drum. Although I don't know if it is invincible to all evil things, Wu Liang has only met "" The two real evils, "Yu" and "Giant Giant", can at least be intimidated by the sound of the mysterious small drum, and the success rate can be seen.

Now that the mysterious snare drum has sounded twice in a row, there is no change in the dark river, which can explain some problems.

Even if he knows that water can't transmit sound, part of the "long black hair" here is exposed to the water. If there are really evil things below, it should have some influence on it.

and so.

It should be because I thought too much, there is no evil thing here, right?
With this in mind, Wu Liang finally plucked up the courage to walk a few steps towards the river, and then raised the Suihou bead in his hand to illuminate it.

The irradiation range of the Suihou bead moved forward a few steps.

This time, Wu Liang was finally able to vaguely see that there was a rugged rock wall on the opposite side, but at a place below the rock wall, there was a very regular rectangular outline, which looked like a door embedded in the rock wall. on the door?
"?!"

Wu Liang was refreshed, and quickly walked a few steps forward until he came to the edge of the dark river, and held up the Suihou bead again.

It seemed to be a dark double door indeed!

at this time.

"Wow!"

A group of "long black hair" in the dark river suddenly moved.

Immediately after Wu Liang had no time to react, a pair of paper-white hands with sharp nails that described as withered bones suddenly stretched out from under the "long black hair", and grabbed Wu Liang's ankles, vigorously Drag him into the dark river.

"what--!"

Wu Liang turned pale with shock, his mind went blank for an instant, and Suihou Zhu fell to the ground unsteadily.

Instinct made him throw these two legs desperately, trying to break free from those cold hands, but those hands were tightly wrapped around his ankles, like two iron clamps, and he couldn't break free at all!
