Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 418 Nine Orifices Jade (4200)

Hearing Bai Jingjing's warning, Wu Liang and the others also felt tense, and quickly looked at the camel.

"..."

Everyone held their breath, quietly listening to what Bai Jingjing said.

It's a pity that they don't have Bai Jingjing's hearing ability, and they haven't figured out why after listening for a long time.

But Wu Liang noticed a detail.

With the camel's four legs as the center, the lake water was spreading out circles of extremely fine ripples.

It's just that the nearby lake is only one foot deep, and it looks equally clear and bright, so if you don't calm down and look carefully, you will easily ignore this detail.

And this detail can prove one thing - this camel is moving!
It's just that the range of movement is extremely small, not even the slightest tremor, so it's impossible to see any clues from it with human eyes alone.

"It's an extremely small sound, as if something is slowly cracking..."

Bai Jingjing also knew that Wu Liang and the others might not be able to hear what she could hear, so she deliberately described the sound in a more specific way to help Wu Liang make a judgment on the current situation as much as possible.

"Be careful!"

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and said to everyone, "The corpses of the four people in the back also need to be carefully guarded against, and there must be no negligence. If there is any change, report it to me immediately."

"promise!"

The crowd responded quickly.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense. Everyone held the engineering shovels in their hands, and the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" they carried with them also remained ready to fire at any time.

It seems that a big war is about to come.

Everyone just waited quietly like this, no one acted rashly, even breathing as slow as possible to make no sound, only the unique gust of wind in the white dragon pile could be heard.

Seeing the situation below, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel worried, and Yu Ji who was beside him asked nervously, "Mr. Youcai brother, why did they stop moving all of a sudden? Could it be this small lake?" It's really weird, they were bewitched and locked down like that crazy sister said?"

"This……"

Yu Ji also noticed this situation, his old face had already wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he couldn't help complaining, "The old man just advised the young master not to make extra troubles, but the young master has his own ideas and refuses to listen to the old man's words, alas , now there is only me, an old man, and you, a child, who can't carry my shoulders and hands, if my son and the others are really bewitched, what should they do..."

"Sir, you can't say that."

But Zhuge Liang didn't lose his composure because of Yu Ji's words. After thinking for a while, he retorted, "Besides the two of us, there are more than a dozen soldiers here who are willing to follow Brother Youcai through life and death. The mind and the insight of the old man, coupled with the strength of these soldiers, is not impossible to accomplish anything, but now we have no way to determine what is going on with Brother Youcai, if we make our own decisions, we may mess up Brother Youcai Plan, I can't take the responsibility."

Yu Ji lived such an old age, and there are very few things in the world that can make him ashamed, so he didn't feel the slightest discomfort when Zhuge Liang refuted it.

He stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, his old eyes suddenly lit up, and said with concentration: "So, I have a way to verify the current situation of the young master and others, and at the same time, it will not mess up the young master's plan."

"Oh? Come and listen to the old man!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly leaned over and asked.

"Simple."

Yu Ji turned around and came to a soldier of the Tuan army, stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, please lend me your repeating crossbow."

Yu Ji was a backbone member that Wu Liang relied on very much, and the soldiers of the Huan army naturally had no reason to refuse.

After receiving the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" from the soldier, when Yu Ji looked at Wu Liang and others by the lake, he had already aimed the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" at the gravel ground at his feet, and then lightly pulled the trigger include.

"Snapped!"

Two iron arrows were shot out in response and inserted into the ground.

next second.

"?!"

Bai Jingjing, who was still in a state of stillness before, immediately turned her head and looked at the high ground where Yu Ji, Zhuge Liang and the others were with a puzzled expression.

"Miss Bai turned her head back, and the young master also turned his head. From this point of view, it seems that it is not because of an evil spirit, but that the young master may have discovered something unusual, and he is leading them to investigate carefully."

Seeing the reaction of Bai Jingjing and Wu Liang, Yu Ji quickly smiled and waved to Bai Jingjing, saying that everything is safe here, and at the same time, he was relieved a lot, and said to Zhuge Liang with a smile.

"Sister Jingjing's hearing is really amazing, she can hear clearly from such a long distance."

Zhuge Liang also sighed sincerely.

Yu Ji saw that Zhuge Liang did not praise himself for his wit, but instead praised Bai Jingjing's excellent hearing. He felt a little depressed in his heart, and immediately boasted: "The old man's skill in forecasting public opinion is also excellent, you It's just that I came a bit late, and I haven't seen the wonderfulness of the art of geomancy. I think that when the young master went to the tomb of Marquis Haihun in Yuzhang, Yangzhou, if I didn't have the art of geomancy..."

……

"What happened up there?"

Wu Liang noticed that Bai Jingjing turned her head suddenly, and looked back, just in time to see Yu Ji waving her hands with a smile, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely in his heart.

"Someone shot an arrow with a repeating crossbow for some reason."

Bai Jingjing said seriously, "But Yu Ji waved at us, there shouldn't be anything unexpected happened, don't worry about it for now."

"It's probably because we haven't moved for a long time, and we're worried that something went wrong with us, and we don't dare to disturb us, so we used this method to test."

Combining Bai Jingjing's description and seeing the repeating crossbow in Yu Ji's hand, Wu Liang already had some guesses.

"Ah."

Bai Jingjing nodded in agreement.

"Is that small voice still there?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"It has never been broken, and it is getting more and more frequent. Don't let your guard down."

Bai Jingjing replied.

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and the tiny ripples around the camel's four legs never stopped. It seemed that its body was most likely undergoing some unknown changes.

at this time.

"Crack!"

A sound that Wu Liang and others could hear clearly suddenly resounded.

And the source of this sound is also the camel.

Moreover, Wu Liang and the others also clearly saw that the camel's head shifted slightly to the right, and with this shift, some tiny dross fell from the camel's neck. The scum fell on the clear and translucent water, so it was very conspicuous.

"This is?!"

Wu Liang shrank his eyes, and while holding the vajra umbrella, he continued to observe the camel carefully.

I saw several tiny cracks on the surface of the camel's calcified, cement-gray neck, and through these tiny cracks, one could vaguely see a trace of dark red that seemed to be slowly oozing out...

This bright red is blood?

If it was blood, then the camel was most likely alive, because whether it was calcified or dead, the blood of a camel would coagulate quickly, and it was difficult to maintain such a color.

If it wasn't for blood...

That's hard to say, at least for now Wu Liang has no way to make an accurate judgment.

Followed by.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! . . . "

There were more noises that everyone could hear, more dross fell into the lake, and more and more cracks followed, and the camel's head was constantly shifting, as if it wanted to turn its head Come and see them.

at the same time.

The joints on its legs also started to show cracks, and at the same time, they were also bending extremely slowly.

it seems……

As Fang Qiong said, he was resurrected!

It's just that this severely calcified body restricts its movements. Before that, it must first break free from this armor-like restraint before it can regain its freedom.

If it is still alive, this is undoubtedly an extremely painful process. Even if it breaks free, it may only lead to death. This is definitely not as simple as just peeling off a layer of skin.

And if it's dead...

Then what is controlling its body and making it "live" again?
"Son..."

Everyone looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

"Hold on!"

Wu Liang shouted softly.

If it's just such a camel, even a "resurrected" camel, as long as they are careful enough and there is no mysterious force affecting them, it probably won't pose too much threat to them.

According to Fang Qiong's previous description, apart from being resurrected and dragging people into the lake, the things here don't seem to have any unsolvable mysterious power.

Therefore, Wu Liang wanted to see more clearly, trying to understand the truth of the camel's "resurrection".

……

at last.

The camel turned its head.

At this moment, its appearance has many cracks, and it looks like a pottery that has been broken and bonded again.

However, under the calcified epidermis, the bright red substance did not really seep out as Wu Liang thought, it looked like some kind of gel-like solid substance at the moment.

In addition, its eyes were also severely calcified.

It no longer has the agility that a living creature should have, and it doesn't even have a trace of moisture. The eyeballs are covered with a calcified gray-white hard shell, which looks like they have cataracts.

At the same time as he turned his head, several joints on the camel's four legs had already broken free from the shackles of the calcified layer.

It turned around slowly, facing Wu Liang and the others.

This is a very strong camel, which itself gives people a strong sense of oppression. At the moment, it is covered with "armor" composed of a layer of cement-gray calcification, which makes it look quite combative.

"Listen, everyone."

Wu Liang felt a hint of threat, and said without looking sideways, "If this beast attacks us, don't hold back, shoot and kill!"

The complete camel and the divided camel are also of certain research value to Wu Liang, because no matter what, Wu Liang will definitely slice it in the end, so as to see what it looks like inside and what it is. It can still "live" while supporting this appearance.

"promise!"

Dian Wei had already held two halberds in his hands.

Others also held an engineering shovel in one hand and a "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" in the other, ready to fight at any time.

The voice did not fall.

"PIA!"

The camel's wide feet lifted out of the water, and when they fell, they hit the water with a loud noise that can only be made by the Philippine National Diving Team when they dive.

It finally took Wu Liang and the others as targets, and walked towards them step by step.

At the very beginning, it seemed that he was still getting used to his already stiff body, so every step he took was relatively slow, and he looked wobbly and uncoordinated.

But after taking two or three steps, it seems that he has fully adapted.

Then the speed suddenly increased, stepping on a huge splash and rushing towards Wu Liang and others.

"Kill it!"

Wu Liang didn't want to take risks with an animal, so he gave an order immediately.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!..."

The sound of the beating spring of the "Warring States Repeating Crossbow" can be heard endlessly.

Yang Wanli and the five soldiers directly showed the momentum of emptying the arrow box, and while fighting and retreating, countless small iron arrows formed a not dense rain of arrows, and shot fiercely at the camel.

"Crack! Kick! Kick!..."

However, the effect is not very great.

The small iron arrow shot on the calcified skin of the camel, either it was directly bounced off because of the angle problem, or it was shot in, but it only penetrated to a depth of about an inch. Such a depth could not hurt the rough skin at all. The key point of a thick camel is not to mention such an "immortal camel", even an ordinary camel is probably fine.

There were also a few small iron arrows that just shot into the cracks in the calcified skin, and even shot into the camel's leg joints.

Although it was much deeper than other small iron arrows, it also did not prevent the camel from moving...

The camel didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and it still rushed towards Wu Liang and the others without hesitation.

at this time.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Two powerful piercing sounds sounded.

At the same time that Dian Wei was fighting and retreating, at some point he had circled around the camel.

Then he suddenly lowered his body, and lowered the two halberds, one son and one mother, and he found the right time to strike at the legs of the camel with lightning speed.

What is combat experience, this is combat experience!

The most effective way to deal with cavalry on the battlefield, especially heavy armored cavalry, is to break the horse's legs.

And facing this camel covered in calcified armor, naturally the same reasoning, no matter how fierce it is, as long as its legs are broken, it will be unable to use it even if it has strength.

"Shh! Shh!"

With two sounds, three of the four camel legs snapped.

"Praise!"

The camel's feet were empty, and its huge body fell heavily to the ground.

at the same time.

The two large wooden boxes on its back were also thrown heavily to the ground, instantly shattered into pieces of wood on the ground, and the contents inside were scattered all over the ground.

Jade? !
Wu Liang could not help but widen his eyes, but what surprised him was not the number of jade wares, but the shape of these jade wares, which seemed to be "Nine Orifices Jade"!
Wu Liang had seen quite a few of this kind of jade, and many soldiers of the Tuan army were no strangers to it.

As the saying goes, "gold and jade are in the nine orifices, and the dead will be immortal."

"Nine-orifice jade" is exactly the kind of jade used to seal the nine orifices of the deceased in the tomb. This kind of jade is usually not too big, and its shape is similar, but the jade materials used must be carefully selected and the best.

Also.

Wu Liang could tell at a glance that these "Nine Orifices Jade" were all jade objects buried with the corpse.

Wu Liang is also very familiar with the red or yellow marks on the jade wares that would only penetrate and melt after years of close contact with the corpse!
