Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 338 The Strange Spinning Machine (4000)

"Dian Wei! Yang Wanli!"

Wu Liang's complexion tightened, and he immediately drank.

"promise!"

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli understood what Wu Liang meant, and immediately put down what they were doing and turned back.

Dian Wei followed Wu Liang towards the direction Bai Jingjing was pointing at, while Yang Wanli stood by the rest of the people and quickly lit a torch.

The "back" that Bai Jingjing refers to is the direction that Wu Liang and others came in before.

In that direction, except for a large vertical burial coffin containing "soulless people" who may have mutated, looking forward, it is already a piece of darkness beyond the range of the Suihou Pearl.

As Wu Liang and Dian Wei moved forward, the light of Hou Zhu's light gradually moved, and the illuminated area also gradually moved forward.

After walking about three or forty meters forward like this, the two of them didn't find anything suspicious.

At this moment, Sui Houzhu's illumination area and Yang Wanli's torch's illumination area were about to separate, and at that time, an obvious dark area appeared between Wu Liang and the people behind him.

And this dark area is exactly the vertical burial coffin that has been making knocking sounds before.

"Go back first."

Wu Liang finally decided not to continue groping forward.

Although the sudden sound of footsteps was creepy, the vertical burial coffin was also not good.

Horror films from later generations told Wu Liang that it was definitely not a wise decision to act separately from everyone in such a situation.

So the two of them crossed the vertical burial coffin again and joined the crowd again.

When the situation suddenly appeared just now, Wu Liang wanted to find out what it was, at least to prevent it from happening, so he didn't have time to ask Bai Jingjing in detail, so he immediately led Dianwei to take action.

Now that he came back with nothing, Wu Liangcai finally asked Bai Jingjing: "Jingjing, how far away is the footstep from us?"

"If I heard correctly, it should be around ten feet."

Bai Jingjing said seriously.

Ten feet up and down...

That is a distance of more than 30 meters, which is just the limit of the exposure of Suihou beads.

Just now, Wu Liang and Dian Wei groped forward for about three to forty meters, and with the addition of the range of the Suihou Pearl's light, the distance they could see had reached at least six to seventy meters.

If Bai Jingjing heard correctly, and the thing that made the footsteps didn't move, they should have seen each other.

However it didn't...

"So, when Dian Wei and I went to investigate, did you hear footsteps?"

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, then asked again.

"That's not true. The footsteps only rang a few times. After I gave you an early warning, they never appeared again."

Bai Jingjing replied.

"Hiss... this is a strange thing."

Hearing this, Yu Ji immediately took over the conversation, maintaining that very characteristic bitter gourd expression, and said in surprise, "Everyone knows Miss Bai's hearing, and it is difficult for any movement to escape her ears." , just now she could hear the footsteps, and then the footsteps suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the young master and Dian Wei went up to check and found nothing. Could it be that we met someone who can shrink the ground into a foot, or something Can't you make good use of blindfolds?"

Wu Liang understood what Yu Ji meant.

His last sentence was put in later generations, it should be to say whether this thing can teleport or become invisible?
Wu Liang actually thought so too.

Since the footsteps appeared suddenly and then disappeared without a trace, and they were able to avoid Bai Jingjing's hearing, it seemed that there must be some special ability.

But it's not easy to say if it's not teleportation or invisibility.

Also.

It was not too early or too late for the voice to appear just when Wu Liang and the others opened the "machine seal" and were about to continue to investigate. This did not seem to be entirely a coincidence.

Wu Liang couldn't help but think of Sun Ye's previous statement about "the Underworld".

He said that the essence of "Yellow Spring" may be a "soul-moving technique", which can move a person's soul into a dead object, and the object will not be destroyed and the soul will not be destroyed, so that it can achieve immortality in a sense.

If this statement is correct...

Could the "footsteps" that Bai Jingjing heard be another sound?
At the place where the footsteps were heard just now, although they went up to check and found nothing unusual, there were some carpenter's tools and agricultural equipment invented and created by Lu Ban during his lifetime.

If there is something inside that is a magic weapon with the "soul-moving technique", and the soul hidden in the magic weapon sees that Wu Liang and the others are planning to open the coffin, they will deliberately make such a sound to try to scare them away ?

This possibility is not impossible.

It needs to be known that Wu Liang himself is a beneficiary of a special "soul-moving technique" from a certain level.

The body of "Brother Talented" can be regarded as a magic weapon, and Wu Liang's soul has been transferred into this magic weapon through some indescribable "soul transfer technique", becoming a glorious traverser.

But the beneficiary of his "soul-moving technique" should not be able to live forever.

Because although he only came here for more than half a year, as time went by, Wu Liang could still feel a trace of signs of aging on his body.

The most obvious ones are the forehead lines on his forehead. Perhaps it is because he often eats and sleeps in the open air, or he often needs to face dangers that are only one step away from death, so his brows are more wrinkled, and there have been more wrinkles on his forehead. A forehead tattoo.

However, this did not affect the sense of substitution of this face, on the contrary, it added a touch of mature temperament, which Wu Liang felt was acceptable.

and so……

If this man-made "soul-moving technique" really exists, Wu Liang has reason to suspect that the soul still maintains a certain degree of consciousness after being moved into a dead object, and can perceive changes in the outside world.

For example: be able to perceive the actions of Wu Liang and others, and send out some movements to warn when necessary.

But if only this level of "warning".

Wu Liang has always been bold, careful and thick-skinned. If he doesn't show something real, it's really not that easy to scare him away.

Think about it for a moment.

"Dian Wei, Yang Wanli, you two continue."

Wu Liang said seriously, "Listen Jingjing, if there is any movement, report to me immediately."

"promise!"

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli agreed, and went forward to remove the metal block around the small grave.

As a result, there was just some movement.

"Appears again!"

Bai Jingjing suddenly warned again, "Although this time is a little farther than last time, the sound of footsteps is still the same, and the direction has not changed!"

"A little farther than last time?"

Wu Liang was startled.

This is undoubtedly tantamount to directly overturning Wu Liang's previous assumptions.

If it is those carpenter's tools and agricultural equipment, it should be impossible to change their positions easily, not to mention that they have no legs or feet, even if they do, such dead objects can easily be seen if they change positions .

of course.

Seeing the clues means seeing the clues. It is undeniable that this situation is definitely more terrifying than directly encountering some evil thing that can run and jump.

Just imagine.

some late night.

When you are reading a novel on your mobile phone at home.

The light at home suddenly went out after flickering twice. You thought it was a blown light bulb or a blown fuse, so you got up to check.

At this moment, the lights returned to normal.

"Maybe the community had a power outage just now?"

You think so, but when you look back, you suddenly find that your inflatable girlfriend has moved from the bed to the sofa at some point, and one of the white silks on her leg has come off, and it is now tied around her neck. The red wig has also been replaced with a green one that you would never wear for her!
Scary or not? !
Is it creepy? !

What should you do at this time?
That's right!

If you have a male roommate, you should immediately ask him if he secretly cuckolded you and did something to your inflatable girlfriend.

If not... Then you can also think about whether you have been too indulgent recently, which has caused your memory to decline.

"Jingjing, give me all the honey candles you carry with you."

Wu Liang pondered and said to Bai Jingjing, "Dianwei, follow me to investigate."

"Give."

Bai Jingjing decisively handed over a small cloth bag.

There were more than a dozen honey candles in it, all of which were made of insect wax found in the tomb of Marquis Haihun. The items that must be carried with you when you enter the tomb will often replace the torch to test the air condition in the tomb.

After receiving the small cloth bag, Wu Liang and Dian Wei groped forward again in the direction Bai Jingjing pointed.

In no time.

The two have arrived at the position they had been before.

At this moment, some carpenter's tools and agricultural equipment not far away also emerged from the darkness again.

"Young master, look..."

Dian Wei was cautiously vigilant, and finally found some abnormalities this time, pointing to a small hand spinning machine more than ten meters away with a serious face, he said to Wu Liang.

This small handloom has obviously switched places!
Originally it was supposed to be on the right side near the rock wall, but now it was placed upright in the middle of the originally empty road. Although it did not block the retreat of Wu Liang and others, it was quite imposing.

And where it was originally placed, there is still a very obvious dust mark...

"Be careful, let's go and have a look."

Although Wu Liang was a little surprised, but after seeing that there were no other moving things around, he decided to bite the bullet and get closer to check.

Apart from doubts about the "soul-moving technique", he now has a little suspicion that someone is doing the trick.

Because this small handloom has no legs or feet, and there are no wheels installed underneath, and there is no trace of dragging on the ground, it doesn't look like it came here by itself.

the most important is.

Wu Liang knew very well that besides themselves, there was an unidentified "water ghost" in this underground palace. After they opened the bronze gate, this "water ghost" could naturally enter and exit the mausoleum freely.

Therefore, the possibility that the "water ghost" is deliberately playing tricks and scaring people cannot be ruled out.

As for the purpose, it depends on its true identity and position.

Coming to the front of the small spinning wheel like this, Wu Liang originally wanted to see if there were any handprints on this thing, so as to make a judgment.

After all, this thing has been placed here for hundreds of years, presumably it has already been covered with dust, if someone touches it, it will inevitably leave marks on the dust.

But looking at it this way, Wu Liang felt even more uncertain.

Because this small hand spinning wheel is spotless, where is it possible to leave fingerprints?

"This……"

When passing by before, Wu Liang didn't pay attention to whether there was any dust on the small hand crank car. If there was dust on it, it would definitely not be able to clean it to this extent in a short time, and during the cleaning process, it would definitely not Impossible not to make any noise.

This place is not too far away from the "Mechanical Seal", if there is any movement, it is absolutely impossible to avoid Bai Jingjing's ears.

Also.

If someone was really trying to frighten them with this thing, the scheming was no less than that of Wu Liang, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of pressure.

If this scheming is used to plot against them, they will definitely be more dangerous when they leave than when they came in...

"Young master, how to deal with it?"

Seeing that Wu Liang was thinking, Dian Wei couldn't help asking.

"Don't touch it yet."

Wu Liang came back to his senses, handed the small cloth bag containing the honey candles to Dian Wei, and said solemnly, "I will light up for you here, and you light all these honey candles and arrange them separately around here. If there is any movement, the light of these honey candles may be able to capture some clues for us."

"promise."

Dian Wei found a small cloth bag and immediately followed Wu Liang's instructions.

Not long after, more than a dozen candles have been successfully arranged. At this time, even if Wu Liang holds it and returns to the side of the "machine seal", he can still see the surrounding situation at any time.

No matter what is causing the trouble, at least it can limit its range of activities, so that it can no longer quietly come to a place only ten feet away from Wu Liang and others, and make some kind of moth to disturb their activities. action.

So go back to the side of "machine seal".

Wu Liang turned his head to monitor the situation behind him, and then instructed Dian Wei and Yang Wanli to dismantle the "mechanical seal".

This time it was much more peaceful.

Until Dian Wei and Yang Wanli completely pushed the metal blocks away, the weird footsteps did not reappear, and no other carpenter's tools and functional instruments changed.

"Young master, what you ordered is done, come and take a look?"

Yang Wanli came to report out of breath.

"If you stare at the situation behind you, don't blink if you can, don't miss anything."

Wu Liang said.

"Don't worry, son."

Yang Wanli straightened his chest, and said without looking back as he was already looking at the candlelight not far away.

Wu Liang nodded, turned around and came to the small tomb bag inside the "machine seal".

At this moment, he could clearly see the words engraved on the stele.

"My lord, there are many similarities between these characters and the ancient Qi script, but they are definitely not the ancient Qi script, but the Gu Lu script."

Yu Ji had already seen it, and hurriedly said to Wu Liang, "It says on it: The tomb of the eldest son of the Gongshu family named Gongshu, Ji of the State of Lu. From this point of view, the bones of Gongshuban are indeed buried here."
