Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 349 The True Evil (4000)

Listening to Wu Liang's divine communication with the "River God" and "Water Ghost", everyone who thought they were doomed gradually became less nervous.

Because the situation has been completely reversed under Wu Liang's "behavior".

In this desperate situation, Wu Liang not only created a vitality that they could not have imagined, but even faintly controlled the "river god" and "water ghost" through constant threats.

At least as it stands now.

It is no longer the "river god" that dominates the situation, but Wu Liang.

"My son, this mouth."

Yu Ji also no longer wanted to ask "Lost Soul Xiang" to die happily, but shook his head with admiration and some regret and sighed, "As long as the old man can speak half as well as him, he won't be as good as him." Having lived such an old age and still achieving nothing, maybe I have obtained the Dao fruit many years ago..."

Speaking of this, Yu Ji seemed to suddenly realize that he accidentally missed something important, so he quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Fortunately, he usually talks about things like "Taoguo" and "Tiandao" when he has nothing to do. In addition, under the current situation, no one cares about these details, so no one What to think about.

"It's up to you? I think it's better to forget it."

Yang Wanli glanced at Yu Ji, took the opportunity to pick up the words, and said habitually, "Young master is just a good talker, he is a brave and resourceful person. If it were you, he would be in the situation just now. , do you have the guts to jump down here to catch that 'Water Ghost'? Not to mention that the Young Master has seen through everything at some point, knowing that stopping the 'Water Ghost' can make the 'River God' throw a rat-raiding weapon, you have this Are you capable? I don’t know who just cried and shouted to the young master for the ‘Lost Soul Fragrance’ and committed suicide early, so don’t put gold on your face.”

This time, it is very rare for Yu Ji not to reply, but nodded in agreement, quite convinced: "You are right, the old man is very different from the son, so the son is the son, and the old man can only be the old man, how can that be?" on a par."

"You still have some self-knowledge."

Yang Wanli hummed and said, facing Yu Ji who easily surrendered, he also lost the motivation to raise the bar, and finally stopped tit for tat.

"Your son is not really a historian who intends to rebuild ancient history, is he?"

Sun Ye who was at the side asked quite suspiciously, "If someone else gets this opportunity, they must be eager to leave this place as soon as possible. Instead of leaving in a hurry, your young master has tried his best to inquire about the private affairs of the patriarch. This is something I hadn’t thought of at all.”

"..."

Everyone didn't know how to answer for a while.

They had followed Wu Liang for some time, and they already knew that Wu Liang was not an ordinary tomb robber.

But what is his ultimate goal, Wu Liang has never discussed it directly, and they have never asked him directly, so no one really can say clearly.

It is also the first time Wu Liang has spoken out about the term "historian" today. Whether this is a rhetoric to fool the "God of the River" or a true thought in his heart is still unknown.

But sometimes.

They also felt that Wu Liang was indeed like a historian.

He was not interested in the gold and jewelry in the tomb, but was most interested in the document records in the tomb. He not only had to carefully check the arguments, but also recorded the valuable things in it.

The bamboo slips from different ancient tombs are the most common in Wu Liang's mansion.

Usually, when there was no tomb to steal, he would squat with Yu Ji in the room where the slips and slips were stored, and it would take a whole day to see it, which seemed to be a bit of a waste of sleep and food...

……

"..."

Hearing Wu Liang's provocative words, "Water Ghost" had a longing look on his face.

However, when it looked at the "River God" again, it suddenly struggled and shook its head for some reason, completely rejecting Wu Liang's "good intentions".

It didn't work?

Wu Liang was taken aback for a moment, the intention of his words was indeed quite obvious, he just wanted to find out the identity of the "Water Ghost" and the relationship with the "River God".

But at the same time, he really didn't have any evil intentions.

There is no particular harm to the "river god" or the "water ghost" by doing so, and it can add a sense of ritual to the friendship between them.

Anyway, according to his understanding, women still pay more attention to the sense of ritual.

Such as those acquaintance anniversaries, love anniversaries, wedding anniversaries, birthdays in later generations, etc. are often forgotten or ignored by men with thick lines, and some special things happened between the two, almost every day A girl can be like a treasure, so it can be seen.

But this "water ghost" seems to be a little different.

If it is not the difference in concepts caused by the different times, then it may be due to the differences in the experience and identity of the "water ghost" and the normal people, and some changes have occurred.

Wu Liang is more inclined to the latter.

Because Bai Jingjing and Wen Renzhao belong to this era, as well as the ten beauties in the family, they still show more or less attention to the sense of ritual, but it may be because of their social status that it is not as obvious as in later generations .

So... Wu Liang was thinking about what to say to make the "Water Ghost" and "River God" obey.

"stand!"

"River God" suddenly changed his mind for some reason.

"Ugh?"

Wu Liang thought he heard it wrong, and looked up at the "River God" in surprise.

But the "River God" didn't look at him, but looked at the "Water Ghost" solemnly, and said seriously: "I'm talking about biography! You have been with me for 17 years in this dark underground palace. New Years is the only time I can still feel that I am still alive in these hundreds of years. One day you will go before me. I have never given you anything, and I can’t give you anything. I will give you no matter what. A name, let this group of thieves and the world be a witness for us."

"ah--"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Liang clearly felt the body of the "water ghost" in his arms tremble suddenly, and a hoarse but trembling cry came out of his mouth.

Wu Liang couldn't understand the meaning of "Water Ghost", but from this cry alone, he could clearly feel the profound emotions contained in it.

"Clap!"

A drop of warm liquid fell on Wu Liang's hand that was holding the "water ghost" by the neck.

Wu Liang looked sideways at the face of the "water ghost".

At some point, "Water Ghost"'s pale and thin face was already covered with tear stains, and teardrops not quite as big as beans gushed out from her huge black eyes.

If it was before, when Wu Liang saw this face, he would only feel fear and uneasiness in his heart.

But at this moment, Wu Liang felt something else in his heart.

This is by no means because the "water ghost" is so weak that even he can easily subdue it...but he feels more and more that the "water ghost" may be a living person, a living person with a very pitiful background, otherwise she It should not appear in this dark underground palace.

"ah……"

While weeping, the "Water Ghost" struggled again, still shaking his head at the "River God".

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind."

"River God" said with a serious expression, "This thief is right. It is not harmful to me to write a biography for you, but it is very important to you. Ever since I became like this, my forgetfulness has become better." It's getting bigger and bigger, after you are no longer in this world, maybe I will completely forget you in a short time, so it might not be a good thing for someone to remember you for me."

"..."

This time the "Water Ghost" was still shaking his head, but the shaking was still smaller.

At the same time, her legs were still a little limp, so Wu Liang had to use some effort to support her while pinching her. Fortunately, the body of the "water ghost" was not very heavy.

"You thief, you need to memorize every word and every sentence I say next. If you dare to omit a sentence, or make it up after you go out, I will definitely not forgive you!"

"River God" finally said to Wu Liang again in a very strong tone.

"Don't dare to dare, this is related to the professional ethics of the villain, and the villain must take it seriously."

Wu Liang hurriedly nodded and smiled.

He knew in his heart that the "River God" agreed to make him write a biography for "Water Ghost", which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Firstly, it can satisfy my curiosity; secondly, it further guarantees the safety of myself and the army. After all, setting up a biography is something that can only be done after going out.

However, he will not relax his vigilance because of this, and he will not let go of the "water ghost" easily. This is their biggest reliance now, as long as the "river god" is gone, they can break their promise at any time.

After finishing speaking, Wu Liang turned his head and winked at "Linchong Lu Bus" again: "Old man, record every word and every sentence, don't let Mr. Gongshu's trust in us go down."

"okay."

Yu Ji responded, quickly took out a pen and paper, and got ready.

"Do you still have morals?"

"River God" did tease Wu Liang suddenly.

"Pfft!"

Unexpectedly, "River God" would say such words, Bai Jingjing couldn't help laughing out loud.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere eased a lot.

Wu Liang turned his head and glared at Bai Jingjing, and tried to defend himself: "Mr. Gongshu, that's not what I said, I am..."

"You don't need to explain to me, right and wrong are decided by the world, and I'm not a virtuous person..."

"River God" has indeed interrupted him, and directly recalled the topic, "You are cunning, you should have guessed it, she actually does not belong to Gongshuzhong, she is a living person just like you, otherwise you How dare you hold her hostage to threaten me."

"Her name is Zhao Ping, the duckweed's Ping."

"As you can see, she has no tongue, can't speak, and is illiterate. When she came to Gongshu Tomb, she couldn't even write her own name. I guessed this name based on her handwriting full of mistakes."

"Since you are from outside, you should have heard about the river god's marriage, right?"

"She is one of the wives sent by those self-righteous people outside to honor me. You should have seen the rest of the wives when you came in. They were all placed with those shoulders. Some of them have turned into dry bones. Recently The dead ones have also become rotting corpses... I dragged these brides' corpses and shoulders in, not really treating them as my wives, but just thinking that these women are also poor people, and I want to give them a resting place, don't take it easy After killing those fish and shrimp, it is also right to add some human flavor to the underground palace and pass my boring days."

"Only her. After I dragged her and the shoulder that sank into the river into the underground palace, she miraculously came back to life."

"When I first saw her come back to life, I was also worried that if she escaped, the secret of the underground palace would be exposed, so I immediately became murderous towards her."

"However, when she saw me, she thought she had already arrived in the underworld. I was the messenger of the underworld. When she saw that I was about to kill her, she neither frightened nor ran away. Instead, she acted very calmly, as if she had accepted her fate."

"I was bored at first, so I thought about testing her deliberately. I specifically explained to her the fact that she is not dead, and told her that I can help her leave this place. If she really wants to leave, I will immediately cut off her. Hope, kill her."

"Unexpectedly, when she found out that she was not dead, especially when she learned that I was going to send her out, she was trembling with fright, hugging me tightly and shaking her head. Although she couldn't speak, I knew her Meaning, she is actually begging me not to send her out..."

"This is the first stranger who saw me not only was not afraid, but begged me to stay in the underground palace."

"I know in my heart that there is no other way out of this underground palace except this underground river, and the passage dug by the Yuwen evildoers, if there is no outsider to help, it is absolutely impossible for her to escape alone, so I agree It's been a long time since I haven't seen anyone and I'm a little bored, but unexpectedly agreed to keep her."

"She's stayed here since then."

"On weekdays, I catch some fish and shrimp and bring them ashore for her to eat. She is also very obedient and never wanders around in the underground palace. If I go ashore sometimes, she will come to me and take care of me. aquatic plants, moss and mussels."

"Gradually, I got used to her company."

"When I have nothing to do, I will call her to my side, because the language is not good, and I am really bored, so I slowly teach her to read, so that she can express some complicated things to me, and I can also understand her past... I don't know when, I actually became curious about her past and wanted to know everything about her."

"It's been so peaceful for a few years, and it's because of her appearance that my boring life has gradually become more interesting."

"Gradually, she finally learned to write."

"I asked her why she refused to leave this dark underground palace?"

"She said that although it is dark here, it is much brighter than outside, and the real darkness is outside."

"I asked her again, why wasn't she afraid of me back then?"

"She said, although I look ferocious and terrifying, compared to the viciousness of the villagers outside, I am not so terrible. She has seen the real viciousness. Compared with me, those villagers are the real evil spirits. She I would rather die of old age in this underground palace, and never want to see those evil spirits again and return to the dark world.”
