Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 448 Unreasonable Desert Plants (4000)

It took a lot of effort, Wu Liang felt that he was about to break Fang Qiong's fingers, and finally took the Suihou Zhu out of Fang Qiong's hand.

And at the moment when Sui Houzhu left his hand, Fang Qiong's tense arms immediately softened again, and he fell on the carriage uncontrollably, returning to the unconscious state of coma before.

It's as if nothing happened.

"call--"

Panting heavily, Wu Liang returned to Hou Zhu's pocket, but he was still thinking about Fang Qiong's appearance just now.

Just like what he realized before, Fang Qiong's state just now is like a drowning person grabbing the only life-saving straw. It is more like an instinct under the trend of human survival, rather than a conscious action...

"Young master, what is going on with this woman?"

Yu Ji came over and asked in a very appropriate way.

"Just now her eyeballs have been moving rapidly, which usually happens when people are dreaming."

Wu Liang pondered and analyzed, "And when I pulled out her eyelids and used the Suihou bead to shine on her eyes, she suddenly reacted and grabbed the Suihou bead tightly and refused to let go, so I suspect, Her current consciousness may be in a state similar to a dream, or it can be said that her consciousness may be imprisoned by some mysterious force, making her in a panic and helpless situation, while Suihou Zhuguang It just happened to be able to pass through the confinement of this mysterious force and shine into the dreamland she was trapped in. Therefore, under the instinctive trend, her body firmly grasped this piece of light, trying to get out of that dreamland. Break free."

The word "dream" used in Wu Liang's remarks can actually be replaced with "fantasy", which has almost the same meaning.

In short, Wu Liang now believes that Fang Qiong can't wake up now, not because of any physical problems, but because her consciousness has been imprisoned and blinded by some mysterious force, which makes her become a vegetative state similar to later generations.

"..."

After hearing this, everyone showed confusion, as if they couldn't fully understand the meaning of Wu Liang's words.

Yang Wanli scratched the back of his head, and said curiously with a smile: "My lord, what you said is too deep, can you take care of me, a vulgar man, and put it in a way that I can understand more easily."

Indeed, Wu Liang's statement is naturally easy to understand for future generations whose worldview has changed a lot.

But for the natives of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the Huan army, even if Wu Liang had said it very bluntly, it was still a brainstorm that made it difficult for them to imagine it concretely.

"To put it bluntly, I suspect that her three souls and seven souls are trapped by an unknown force, like being locked in a prison cell, so she can't wake up anyway, and the light of Suihou Pearl just Being able to shine into the prison cell through her eyes, she thought it was the only light of hope that could help her escape from the prison cell, so she struggled to grasp it and refused to let go."

Wu Liang tried his best to say it again in a way that is easier for everyone to understand.

"Young Master, I understand when I say that."

Yang Wanli nodded with a face of sudden realization, "If that's the case, can we also use this method to wake her up?"

"I'm afraid not."

Wu Liang shook his head and said, "Three souls and seven souls are not something outsiders like us can touch. We can only hope that the unknown force will loosen, or that Fang Qiong himself is strong enough to break free from the cage... But at this moment, Fang Qiong's The eyeballs have been moving, it is very likely that the unknown force has loosened, or Fang Qiong's soul is suffering some kind of torture that we cannot imagine, this may be an opportunity for Fang Qiong to wake up .”

"So to speak..."

After listening to Wu Liang's words, Bai Jingjing said intently, "Fang Qiong's situation just now happened, could it be because we are approaching the place that caused her mutation in the first place?"

"It's possible, so it's not necessarily a bad thing for us."

Wu Liang calmly analyzed, "If an unknown mutation happened to Fang Qiong in this strange world at the beginning, then she can appear in the world we were in before, then it means that as long as we find the right It is also safe and sound to return to the previous world, isn’t that the truth?”

"That's right! Young Master is right!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji regained his energy immediately, and said again and again, "If Fang Qiong can go out, we can naturally go out too. Hahaha, we really deserve to die!"

"I don't know who has been crying and screaming, dying?"

Yang Wanli hissed, and said in a strange way.

"That's not the old man, it's obviously Zhuge Liang, the old man is very calm."

Yu Ji resolutely dumped the blame on Zhuge Liang without blushing.

"I'm just a child. Isn't it natural for a child to feel scared when encountering such a thing?"

Zhuge Liang also watched his heart with his eyes, nose, nose, nose, and heart, and confidently came up with a move, four or two, and pushed the pot aside with ease.

"Hehe! You usually look quite honest, but when did you learn to be so brazen?"

Yu Ji asked in surprise.

"..."

Hearing this question, everyone froze for a moment, then turned their heads to look at Wu Liang in unison.

"Take your eyes off this general!"

Wu Liang stared, and shouted in a deep voice, "Whoever dares to look at me again will be demoted to three ranks and fined three months' salary after returning! And you, brother Zhuge, I'm also very curious about where you got this shameless skill from!" You learned it from yourself, you can say it boldly, no one would dare to pursue you with me around!"

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes, and immediately said seriously: "Look at what Brother Youcai said, with my extraordinary talent, can't I be self-taught?"

……

Amidst the laughter and laughter of a group of shameless people, the tense atmosphere eased a lot.

Wu Liang and others continued to grope forward in the camel grave.

Although there is not much to gain for the time being, but after passing through those two steles, and Fang Qiong's later strangeness, Wu Liang felt that they were getting closer to their goal.

After about another hour of walking like this.

They actually saw a small piece of refreshing green in this desert that was gray and yellow as far as the eye could see.

oasis?

If he saw an oasis in the desert on the north bank of the Kongque River, Wu Liang would not be surprised at all, because that place is close to a water source, and where there is water, it is possible to form an oasis.

But this oasis deep in the desert...

Could it be that there is a source of water in the "Camel Tomb", but there is no record of any rivers passing through the "Camel Tomb" on the map of Shanshan?

The possibility of groundwater is also extremely small.

If there is really groundwater underneath, it will be difficult for this area to become a vast desert, unless there are other unknown reasons suspected to exist like the desert on the north bank of the Peacock River...

"Young master, look..."

Seeing this oasis, everyone also stopped.

"Go and have a look, but be more careful. The distance between everyone should not be too far. If any dangerous situation occurs, help each other in time."

Wu Liang said seriously.

Standing in the distance now, Wu Liang didn't see any obvious water in this green land. The more so, the more Wu Liang felt that there must be a monster if something abnormal happened, so he had to take more precautions.

After coming up close in this way and seeing the nature of the green, Wu Liang's doubts did not decrease but increased instead.

Known weeks.

Because of the special environment of the desert, even if there is such a small oasis, the plants growing in it are affected by the environment and have a unique growth form.

The most prominent feature is that the leaves of desert plants are usually not too large.

The plants here do not lack light at all. If the leaves are too large, it will only increase the water loss of the plants, which is definitely not conducive to the survival of plants in the desert.

But the plants in this small oasis defy this rule.

Looking around, all Wu Liang could see was this kind of plant. Its leaves were oval-shaped, and the leaves were about the size of an adult's palm. The rhizomes connecting the leaves were rattans similar to creepers or melon seedlings. It is densely packed and stretches vertically and horizontally on the sandy land, thus forming such a green land.

"This……"

Although Wu Liang is not a botanist and has never done in-depth research on plants, he is very sure that this is definitely not a plant that should grow in the desert, even if there is a source of water under the desert, it shouldn't.

And a few hundred meters away, this oasis is close to the center.

Wu Liang and others saw a slightly higher place that had been wrapped by this kind of plant. Most of these places had a square shape, with high and low, wide and narrow, and there were some square or round gaps on it. , it seems to be a piece of architectural relics, but it is lower than normal buildings.

"You stay outside and don't act rashly."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, but still felt that this green land and these plants were very unusual, so he turned his head and said to the crowd, "Dian Wei and I will go in and check inside. If there is nothing unusual, you can come in later."

……

Soon after.

Wu Liang and Dian Wei have come to the suspected architectural ruins in the middle.

This strange plant did not bring them any obstacles, just like ordinary plants, even Wu Liang and Dian Wei stepped on it without any reaction.

However, Wu Liang still carefully pushed aside the vine-like rhizomes that covered the entrance of a "building" after putting on his gloves.

"Young master, I'm advanced!"

Dian Wei immediately squeezed over and thrust his halberd in first.

"Be cautious."

Wu Liang didn't try to be brave either, he nodded to make room for Dian Wei.

The Fangfangzheng entrance is just a little low, about 1.5 meters high, not to mention Dianwei, even Wu Liang would have to stoop to get in, but fortunately, it is wide enough.

While speaking, Dian Wei had already bent down and got into it.

After about a few seconds, Dian Wei's voice came from inside: "My lord, be safe! It looks like a residential house, but the construction method and materials used are quite different from those of Jiani City. It also looks much older than it is today, it doesn't look like it was used in the past few hundred years, I'm afraid it will only be earlier."

After following Wu Liang for such a long time, Dian Wei has also made a lot of progress. He has been able to make a simple description and evaluation of some ancient objects, but usually he doesn't like to speak out.

Wu Liang then drilled in and looked around the internal structure of this "building".

Those strange plants did not spread into the building, so the situation inside was clear at a glance.

This is actually a stone house built with flat stones, but some fine mud was applied to fix and fill the gaps between the stones.

The roof of the stone house is built with some thick beams and slightly thinner wooden branches, and then covered with a layer of mud mixed with hay for filling.

Normally.

The walls of such a stone house should be able to be preserved for a long period of time, but such a roof will collapse after being unoccupied and repaired for decades at most, and it is difficult to stand the test of time.

Wu Liang is not sure how long this stone house has existed for the time being, but the roof that still looks intact still surprises Wu Liang.

But think again.

The strange world he was in couldn't be examined with common sense, so this detail can naturally be ignored for the time being.

Besides.

In the alcove on the wall of this stone house, there are some relatively simple stone tools, including relatively sharp stone knives, a few small stone leaves, a few oval stone cores, and a few suspected arrowheads. Or a sharp stone for a spearhead.

In another alcove, there are several large and small pottery.

These pottery are roughly in the shape of bowls or pots, but they are not very fine. They look like they were made by hand. In addition, the surface and interior of the pottery are also very rough. They should be directly used as pumice stones in future generations. To use... Wu Liang knew that this kind of pottery should be made of clay with sand added. After all, it is not easy to find fine clay in the desert.

And such pottery, and utensils made of these stones.

It is no longer in use now, even in Jiani City, so Dian Wei said that the things here are much older than today, and there is no problem.

"If we analyze these stone tools and pottery, this building should belong to the 'Lop Nur Civilization' earlier than the 'Loulan Ancient City'...and the 'Lop Nur Civilization' and the Sun Tomb I'm looking for belong to the same period."

Wu Liang was pleasantly surprised.

This is enough to show that he has found his way. As long as he continues to search in the Camel Tomb, the Tomb of the Sun should not be too far away...

And just as Wu Liang was examining these things carefully.

"Master, there seems to be something under my feet, and it feels a little hard to step on."

Dian Wei suddenly pointed to the sand under his feet.

By the way, Wu Liang only found out after entering the stone house that it was not that the door of the stone house was too short, but that the sand had poured in from the outside to the inside over time, raising the ground inside and outside the house. Not a lot.
