Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 465 Altar (4000)

After hearing these words, everyone's hearts also felt slightly chilled.

Fang Qiong was indeed scarier than she imagined, especially in terms of insight into people's hearts. She was completely watching people order food. Imagine if it was not Wu Liang at that time, but a reckless man who didn't like to use his brain very much. Just wiped her out, she had already figured out Wu Liang's temperament and way of doing things, so she dared to take such a risk.

This is also an extraordinary talent.

It's a pity that she was born in the wrong time and in the wrong place...

But the middle-aged man looked at the reaction of Wu Liang and others, but smiled again, and then said: "Leaving aside that girl, what I am most puzzled about now is your purpose. Originally, I thought you came here , because I captured that girl, and then learned the secret of the altar from her mouth, so I came here in pursuit of 'immortality', but now it seems that this is not the case, why did you come here?"

"altar?"

Wu Liang immediately noticed another key word in the words.

Obviously, the "altar" mentioned by the middle-aged man is the "Tomb of the Sun" recognized by Wu Liang and later archaeological circles. A special place of worship?

At the same time, this keyword is enough to prove that the middle-aged man has a very clear understanding of the "Tomb of the Sun", and he is the key figure in unlocking the secret of the "Tomb of the Sun".

"To be honest, we are just some historians who are looking for the truth. Therefore, compared with 'immortality', we are actually more interested in the little-known deeds behind those altars."

Wu Liang followed the middle-aged man's words and said, "It seems that you know a lot about the altar, and I would like to ask you about your identity. Could you please enlighten me?"

"So that's how it is... There are not many historians like you."

The middle-aged man smiled ambiguously, but he did not continue to delve into it, but continued, "Since you asked, I have nothing to hide. In fact, I have many identities, so many that some identities have long been I can’t remember, so let’s talk about a recent identity that you should have heard of, people in Shanshan now call me... the first king of Loulan.”

"!"

Hearing this, everyone in the Huan army was shocked again.

They have more or less known the biography of the first king of Loulan, and the records are quite detailed, even including the time of the death of the first king of Loulan, the specifications and methods of burial.

But now there is a living person who claims to be the "Loulan First King"?
Even if there is already a "Tomb of the Sun" that can make people "resurrect from the dead" as a base, although everyone knows that this is very likely to be true, they are still a little shocked in their hearts.

Of course, it was more of an accident...

"In this way, you were the one who led the construction of Jiani City and the founding of Loulan Kingdom hundreds of years ago?"

Yu Ji couldn't help but opened his eyes wide and asked.

"That's right, that happened several lifetimes ago. By the way, the story in the biography is actually written by me. The deeds in it are half true and false, just to hide my identity and origin. It cannot be fully believed. "

The middle-aged man nodded, looked at Wu Liang and said, "But you should be most interested in my first identity, right? It's about things related to those altars, right?"

"Please show me."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said.

"Then in exchange, you need to make an agreement with me first. After listening to me, you will remove my corpse from the wooden coffin and destroy it. Can you agree?"

The middle-aged man asked with a smile again.

"Okay, I promise you."

Wu Liang nodded.

"Get ready, let's talk as we walk, and when I finish speaking, we'll be almost at the altar."

The middle-aged man did not question Wu Liang's integrity, and said generously without the slightest worry.

It is said that Fang Qiong is a master of insight into people's hearts, so why not a middle-aged man?
Absolutely more than anything.

It should be known that through carbon 14 measurements, the "Tomb of the Sun" is at least 3800 years away from later generations, and it is about 2000 years away from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And judging from the tone of the middle-aged man, he is obviously the owner of the "Tomb of the Sun".

In other words, even if he keeps dying and coming back to life, life after life, he can be counted as having lived for about 2000 years if he can inherit memory, and a person with 2000 years of memory and experience, I don't know how many people and man-made disasters I have seen, and it is extremely difficult to deceive him even through the belly.

In addition, he had secretly observed what Wu Liang and others did in Shanshan, and he knew what they did in the Tomb of the Sun, so he had already made his own judgment in his heart.

Otherwise, how could he take the initiative to show up to meet Wu Liang and others, and generously admit his identity?

Besides.

In fact, Wu Liang and the others still have one thing to rely on him, and that is how to get out of this strange world, so far they still have no clue...

"Wait a minute!"

Just when the middle-aged man felt that the two sides had reached a consensus and was about to leave the bedroom, Wu Liang suddenly stopped him.

"Anything else?"

The middle-aged man looked at Wu Liang in surprise.

"Your Excellency, do you feel that I am about to help you with a practical matter, but your Excellency just gave me a story that I don't know the truth of?

Wu Liang laughed.

"?"

The middle-aged man was even more surprised. Before this, he thought he had seen through Wu Liang, but now he couldn't understand it.

"After all, you are a person who is good at making up stories. You can even falsify your own biographies. It's not a problem to make up another story to fool me, but I haven't been able to verify it yet."

When Wu Liang said these words, he was completely hesitant to speak.

"Are you afraid that after doing something for me, I will be trapped in this world and cannot leave?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and immediately understood Wu Liang's intentions.

"I don't mean that, but if your Excellency insists on thinking so... then let it be."

Wu Liang admitted with a shy face.

He had made up his mind, and now that it was a middle-aged man who wanted something from him, he could naturally make some more requests that were not excessive, let alone requests related to the fate of everyone in the Huan army.

"I've underestimated you. I'm afraid none of the most savvy businessmen in the city can haggle without you."

The middle-aged man gave him a disdainful look, but he was not really angry. Instead, he took a jade pendant from his waist and threw it at Wu Liang, saying, "Take it! , This world has a loophole for some reason, and the black dragon storm is caused by this loophole, so every time before the black dragon storm comes, occasionally there will be unlucky people who enter this world inexplicably, but unfortunately most of them No one can leave alive, and after death, the corpse will go outside inexplicably. The rumor that the group of businessmen you have inquired about strayed into the mysterious ancient city came from this. They were relatively lucky, only two people died. Individuals, and some who survived to tell the story, most of the rest were not so lucky, no one knew what happened to them, and when their bodies were found, they would just think they died in a sandstorm .”

"Let's get down to business, in fact, the next time the black dragon storm strikes, you just need to go back the same way, walk between the two huge stone tablets with writings on them, and then you can leave... But you don't want to wait, so take it with you." Take this jade pendant, you don’t need to wait for the black dragon to attack, you can pass between the two huge stone tablets at any time, and you can walk out smoothly. In addition, as long as you take this jade pendant, the next time you enter the camel grave time, you can also return to this world.”

"Thank you..."

Wu Liang took the jade pendant and inspected it carefully. The craftsmanship of this jade pendant was very rough. At first glance, it was not polished and carved by the craftsmanship of this era.

And the shape is also very strange, it is a small yellowish cylindrical jade strip, engraved with some unclear lines, one end is thick and the other end is thin, it looks like a small bamboo shoot or corn cob.

But Wu Liang knew in his heart that bamboo shoots would not grow in this place, let alone corn, which is a unique crop in South America and was not introduced to the Celestial Dynasty until more than 1000 years ago. He really doesn't know what the shape is...

So Wu Liang looked up at the middle-aged man.

"I can tell you, it's actually a fish."

The middle-aged man had already seen through Wu Liang's thoughts, so he said without taking him, "You probably still want to ask why this jade pendant can connect this world, and what is so special about it? I can tell you." , it was actually taken from my corpse, as for where it was taken from, you probably don’t want to know.”

"..."

Wu Liang instantly thought of the extremely popular "Nine-Aperture Jade" nowadays, and this kind of cylinder has such a thick and thin "Nine-Aperture Jade", there is only one place for a man to plug it...

Wu Liang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately showed disgust, then took out a sackcloth to wrap the jade pendant layer by layer, and washed his hands with the shochu that he carried with him.

In the eyes of many people, "Nine Orifices Jade" should be a funeral custom unique to the Celestial Dynasty, especially in the Han Dynasty. "Huang Chang Ti Pu" has become the standard equipment of the royal family and princes and nobles. It is not only a symbol of status, but also a vision of immortality and future rebirth.

But in fact, apart from the Celestial Dynasty, there are similar customs in the Western Regions and places farther afield, such as Egyptian mummies, which also stuffed some valuable things into the corpses.

Therefore, the statement of the middle-aged man may also be true...

……

Walking out of Jiani City again, when he came to the two huge steles, Wu Liang purposely set up camp here and ordered Yang Wanli to bring the jade pendant to verify the middle-aged man's statement.

How to verify?

Naturally, he carried the jade pendant and walked between the two huge stone tablets, and returned to Xenni City to see if he had returned to the real world.

It will take at least a day or two to go back and forth.

Wu Liang was not in a hurry, and the middle-aged man was not in a hurry, but he was a little bored, so he took advantage of this time to tell Wu Liang and others the story about him and the "Tomb of the Sun":

About 2300 years ago, this area was still a rich green land.

A tribe called "Sairi" thrived here, and the middle-aged man had just grown into one of the most elite fighters in the tribe.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and a tribe called "Tuman" invaded them in order to expand their territory.

The "Tuman" tribe had a large number of people, and the "Sairi" tribe soon fell into a disadvantage. Most of the fighters were killed during the resistance, and the rest of the tribe were forced to flee their homes.

At that time, there was a legend that there was a true god in Kunlun Mountain, so the priests of the "Sairi" tribe decided to go to Kunlun Mountain alone to seek the help of the true god in order to avenge their tribe and regain their lost homeland. No one knows what happened during the period, only that when the priest came back, he obtained a magical seed from the true god of Kunlun Mountain, and learned a sacrifice ceremony that people had never seen before.

Sacrificial life clan people built many altars.

That is the tomb of the sun that Wu Liang and others saw.

The priest ordered the people to sow this miraculous seed.

The seeds quickly took root and germinated, and a large green branch and leaf grew out. There was a red liquid flowing in the branch and leaf. No one knew what it was. The priest called this magical plant "Vigley".

Half a year later, when these altars were built, the priest held a special ceremony, and finally lay down with the clansmen in the wooden coffin in the center of the altar.

Strange things happened.

Not long after, when the clansmen woke up again, they appeared outside the altar.

But their original bodies were still in the wooden coffin in the center of the altar, and the clansmen didn't know what happened.

Before the clansmen could figure out what was going on, the priest killed a clansman in public. The clansmen were puzzled, but then something even more miraculous happened. Not long after the clansman died, he appeared again. At this time, through the explanation of the sacrifice, the tribe finally understood that this altar can bring them back to life continuously after death.

But this resurrection from the dead is not without cost, the souls of the clansmen will be trapped in the altar forever, until they are destroyed together with the altar.

At first, the clansmen did not understand what it meant that the soul would be trapped in the altar forever. It was not until a night later that they finally understood that once they fell asleep, they would be trapped in a dark cage. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape from it.

But the priest told them that this is the price they must pay for revenge, and this is just the beginning.

Then the priest ordered the clansmen to eat the mysterious plant called "Vigley", and the clansmen followed suit driven by hatred, and the plant was really extraordinary, after taking it, it could make people lose weight in a short period of time. The strength soared, I couldn't feel pain and fear at all, and even my spirit became extremely excited, eager to fight and kill...
