Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 395 Yuan Wei Mausoleum (4000)

To be honest, Wu Liang, like most people, is quite sensitive to arthropods psychologically.

If he didn't want to find out what's so special about this kind of thing, although he wouldn't scream like a girl when he saw something similar, he would choose to stay away as much as possible, and if he couldn't avoid it, he would just kill him... …

Having roughly observed the body of this "water turtle", Wu Liang can already be sure that this thing has nothing to do with the "turtle" in the traditional sense, and it is probably a special kind of insect.

As for whether later generations have discovered this species...

Wu Liang is not an entomologist, and his understanding of insects is still too little to draw conclusions.

However, in his personal impression, the insects that are usually seen in later generations are not so big, and they are rarely seen even in some popular science programs. Its back is about the same size as an adult's face, so it can definitely be called a giant insect.

In addition, this thing is not light in the hand. It doesn't feel like it weighs ten catties, but five or six catties is more than enough.

of course.

It is also possible that Wu Liang himself was ignorant. In fact, insects of this size had been discovered long ago in later generations, but Wu Liang did not know about them.

So carefully looked at the body of this big bug.

Wu Liang didn't find anything worth noting, so he had to carefully put it back to its original place, and picked up its beheaded triangular flat head similar to a turtle.

The outside of this triangular head is also not the skin and flesh similar to the water turtle, but the dark hard armor that is consistent with the body.

Its eyes have no eyelids and are directly exposed like most insects, but they seem to have the function of stretching and turning, which looks somewhat similar to crabs.

Then there's its mouth.

Its mouth is somewhat similar to that of a water turtle, it is a pointed mouth that closes up and down similar to a "beak", but because the head is flatter, this mouth is also wider, and the degree to which it can open is naturally wider. bigger.

Wu Liang has no way to determine whether this kind of thing is a legendary "spirit" through these external characteristics.

However, according to the legends he knew, "Spider" actually has a special organ that is very obviously different from other species, and this special organ is in the mouth of "Spider".

After observing the appearance of this big bug in this way, Wu Liang finally took out the copper dagger, and inserted it along the tightly closed mouth gap of this head.

"Crack!"

With such a forceful prying, the lower jaw of this mouth was broken by Wu Liang's prying.

at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

As if some mechanism was touched, there was a light sound from this mouth, and then some small things shot out from this mouth, and fell on the ground in the distance, making a slight "rustling" sound. .

The sound was like a handful of pebbles or gravel being shot to the ground.

Fortunately, Wu Liang was already prepared when he pried his mouth. Not only did he keep pointing it at places where no one was around, he even avoided the shadows of the crowd very carefully.

After all, if this thing is a "spirit", being shot by its "innuendo", or even just a shadow, may bring an indiscriminate disaster to human beings.

In short, it is better to believe that there is something than nothing.

If something really happened, it may not be too late to regret it.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang's heart tightened, and at the same time, his spirit lifted.

Because according to the ancient legends that he knew, the "creature" shot out gravel to harm people in this way, which shows that the direction he guessed before is very likely to be correct!

However, with a rigorous scientific research attitude, Wu Liang decided to further confirm.

He had already pried off the big bug's jaw, easily removed the jaw, and then turned the head over to check the internal structure of the mouth.

Unlike common animals, Wu Liang did not find a tongue-like organ in the mouth of this big worm.

However, he found a long strip of extremely tough meat on the upper jaw, and behind this piece of meat, there is also a small hard pillar similar to a bone. The small pillar is connected to the upper jaw of the big bug's mouth. At the same time, it is also connected to the middle of the horizontal piece of meat, forming a "T"-shaped structure.

This structure is somewhat similar to a slingshot, and a bit like a simple crossbow...

"Spirit! It is really a mythical creature in ancient legends!"

Wu Liang finally settled down.

Archaeological discoveries of later generations, no matter in the ancient books of the ancient Xia Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, have recorded the special organ structure of the "creature", and the content of the records is almost the same.

Although no real object or specimen of this legendary insect has been found in later generations.

However, during the thousands of years from the Xia Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there was no major discrepancy in this record, and in some cases it could be used as a reference to help Wu Liang make a relatively accurate judgment.

"mythical creature?"

Everyone looked at Wu Liang with doubts on their faces. Obviously, none of the people present knew what it was.

Wu Liang didn't hide anything, looked at Awang seriously and said, "According to my current judgment, it's probably this kind of water pest called 'Spirit'. This kind of pest is extremely dangerous. The so-called 'innuendo' refers to its harmful People's means, whether the sand shot from its mouth hits people or just hits people's shadows, it can make people sick and get sores, and invisibly kill people. If my judgment is correct, Ah The 'fox confusion' that Uncle Wang and the clansmen suffer from is probably also caused by the 'spirits'..."

Speaking of this, Wu Liang once again thought carefully of the "Silk Road Disease" that later generations of medicine determined, and the West named this disease "Behcet's Syndrome".

This is an immune system disease.

What are immune system disorders?

Later generations of medicine have a very scientific and mainstream explanation for this, but most of those scientific explanations only explain the pathology, and there are different opinions on the deeper cause of the disease. To put it bluntly, there is no definite evidence. Guess what is known about the scientific level.

For example, in later generations there is an immune system disease called AIDS that makes people turn pale when they talk about it.

For this terrible immune system disease, specialist scientists can clearly explain the symptoms, clinical manifestations, transmission mode, diagnosis method, as well as the methods of prevention and best treatment.

But if you want to teach them to name the origin of this disease, they can only tell you vaguely, "It may have originated from an African male who mates with a primate", because there are "studies that suggest that this The immune system disease is "probably" African in origin.

There is also the "ancestral meat backlash" called "prion" that Wu Liang encountered not long ago.

In a sense, this disease can actually be included in the category of immune system diseases.

But what is the origin of the first case of "prion"? Why can people be infected and transmit this virus when they cannibalize? Did the first human being eaten already have "prion" in the body? Then Where did the "prion" in the first human being eaten come from?

Let's delve deeper into this issue.

It could easily become a philosophical question of "Which came first, the chicken or the egg", and no one can explain it clearly.

And the problem that no one can explain clearly can only be explained by "quantum mechanics"?

And "quantum mechanics" is obviously an extremely mysterious force, a force that people can't see or touch. In the ancient Chinese culture, it can be "metaphysics" or "the way of heaven".

and so.

Some "immune system diseases" may also be related to "metaphysics".

After all, if you make a general classification of the etiology of this kind of disease, you will easily find that the spread and development of this kind of disease are more or less caused by people doing behaviors similar to "bugs" in games.

For example, the continuation of most species is sexual reproduction, which is commonly known as heterosexual mating, and in order to prevent different species from messing around, there is an unambiguous reproductive isolation between different species, but some species like to violate it. The rule is "card BUG", not to mention the same-sex mess, and different species will mess.

Another example is the well-known food chain.

Regardless of whether a species is at the bottom or the top, it is an indispensable part of the closed loop of the entire food chain. If the same species chooses to consume itself, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the entire food chain. This is also a "card bug" "the behavior of.

Players who often play games in later generations know that "card bug" in the game is a violation of regulations and will be punished by the game official.

Then in the real world, what kind of consequences will the "card BUG" have? Is it possible that the disease he cited was also punished by some mysterious power?

This brings up the word "Tiandao" again.

What is the "way of heaven"?
In the ancient culture of the Celestial Dynasty, the way of heaven is the "law of heaven and earth" hidden between all things in the world. It is a supreme and insurmountable mysterious power. From ancient times to the present, countless people have mentioned this power. It seems It doesn't exist at all, and it seems to be everywhere, silently controlling everything in the world...

It seems to have gone a little far.

Returning to "Spirits" and "Fox Confusion", although later generations of medicine have come to a relatively clear conclusion on the disease of "Fox Confusion", the "Spirits" in front of them ruthlessly shattered Wu Liang's previous cognition. It was smashed.

The knowledge he learned in later generations has shaped him into a worldview that is not easy to change.

So no matter what happens after time travel, no matter how mysterious it seems, he will try to explain and understand it in a scientific way, even if he is repeatedly beaten in the face, he still enjoys it.

But this time, he undoubtedly once again encountered a problem that science cannot explain.

"Shen" shoots the human body with sand in its mouth, and the human body gets sick as a result. This is understandable, but if it is true as described in the records, just shooting the shadow will also make people sick and get sores. There is really no way Explained with science.

It is even more inexplicable than the urine of "J" can rot and turn people into dry bones in a short period of time, and the "boy urine" of human beings can cause harm to "J"...

"This...how is this good?"

After hearing Wu Liang's words, Awang's brows were already furrowed, and fear and worry appeared in his eyes. As a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he understood Wu Liang's expressions without any obstacles, and he was not like Wu Liang. With so many dialectical viewpoints, even the world view has once again been shaken.

After struggling like this for a while, Awang suddenly knelt down in front of Wu Liang, and begged hard: "Since the young master can tell about this kind of pest, do you also have a solution? If so, on behalf of the clan, I implore the young master. Help us, we are willing to fully cooperate with you!"

"My lord, please show kindness and help us. Otherwise, the clansmen will have to leave their hometowns. I definitely don't dare to live in the manor that Uncle Awang left me."

Seeing this, Kabul quickly knelt down and begged for help.

However, this person is still as sincere as Wu Liang knew him, and he actually spoke out what was in his heart in front of Awang, as if Awang was dead and this manor already belonged to him generally……

Fortunately, Ngawang should know Kabul better, so he didn't become angry because of this, but just buried his head and knelt on the ground and continued to plead.

"Please get up quickly, both of you."

Wu Liang was just talking in his mouth, but he didn't approach them rashly. He nodded and said, "I know a rather old method, but it's hard to say whether it will work, but please don't worry, I Will do my best.”

The method he said is the ancient method of "Huzhuo clan" to drive away "spirits" recorded in "Zhou Li":

"Hu Zhuo's palm eliminates water insects. Drive them away with drums of guns and earth, and throw them with burning stones. If you want to kill the gods, use the mugwu to penetrate elephant teeth and sink them. Then the gods will die, and the deep will be a mausoleum."

Drums can be used to expel "spirits", and hot stones can also be used to frighten "spirits".

And if you want to completely destroy the "spirit", you need to use an elm stick, and then use an ivory cross to penetrate the stick, sink this kind of thing into the water, the "spirit" will die, and the abyss will become a mountain.

This method has obviously become "mysterious" again.

It is understandable that the "creatures" can be driven away with the sound of drums and hot stones, because this method can scare most wild creatures away.

But the crude "dharma implements" made of elm sticks and ivory can wipe out the "creatures"...

It can even turn an entire lake and abyss into a high mountain mausoleum. Isn't this even more exaggerated than the legendary "vicissitudes of life"?

Wu Liang was deeply suspicious of this.

Naturally, he didn't dare to say anything to Ngawang and Kabul.

But in the heart.

He wished he could be slapped in the face.

In this way, not to mention completely solving the plight of the local residents, the main thing is that he can also witness this heaven-defying spectacle that only exists in myths and legends. Just thinking about it is exciting.

Anyway, try it and you won't die.

Now the question is, where to find the necessary elm sticks and ivory?
