Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 468 As constant as the moon, rising like the sun (4000)

The middle-aged man was very surprised by this.

He is more sure than anyone else that if Fang Qiong is not completely eliminated, Fang Qiong will definitely not give up the "Tomb of the Sun" altar, and she can do anything for this.

Even if it was forced to give up, the "Tomb of the Sun" altar should never be returned to him, which is completely unreasonable.

In addition, when he secretly observed Wu Liang and the others in Jiani City before, he found that Fang Qiong had fallen into a coma, and Wu Liang and the others were also very strict with her.

So he gradually began to guess that there is a high probability that Wu Liang and Fang Qiong are not in the same group.

Moreover, Wu Liang and others may not be the same kind of person as Fang Qiong, or their purpose is not to "resurrect the dead" at the altar of the "Tomb of the Sun" at all, but to have other purposes...

With such thoughts in mind, the middle-aged man decided to venture back to this world to meet Wu Liang.

However, just to be on the safe side, he didn't go directly to the altar of the "Tomb of the Sun" to find Wu Liang and the others. Instead, he turned back to the city of Jianni in this world and waited for Wu Liang and the others to come to his door.

In his opinion.

A cunning person like Fang Qiong, no matter whether he was coerced by Wu Liang and others, or had some kind of cooperative relationship with Wu Liang and others, would definitely keep a hand for himself.

So what kind of hand will she keep?

Naturally, it was the way to leave this strange world. As long as she didn't reveal this extremely difficult way to find out, even if she was dead, she could trap Wu Liang and others in this strange world to be buried with her.

And when Wu Liang and others found that they could not leave this strange world, what choice should they make?
Of course, it is impossible to stay in that desert forever and wait to die obediently. They will first find a way to replenish themselves to survive, and then continue to look for the exit...

And where is the only place near here that can supply supplies?

Of course it is the city of mud!

then.

He waited for Wu Liang and the others as he wished, and after confirming that there was no Fang Qiong in the team, he immediately tried to confirm Fang Qiong's death by using clichés.

Although Wu Liang never gave him an affirmative answer, he did not deny it at the same time. He had already got the answer he wanted.

It was also because of this that he decided to have a frank meeting with Wu Liang and the others.

Because in this world, there are not many people who can reject the "Tomb of the Sun" altar. Even if such people are not good people, they must have a minimum bottom line.

Also.

Wu Liang and the others put Fang Qiong's body back into the wooden coffin after they had dealt with it. I'm afraid they also wanted to see him.

He has been carrying this secret for more than 2000 years, and after seeing the cracks in the wooden coffin, he already had the idea of ​​letting go of this secret, so he just took this opportunity to give himself a complete relief...

……

"..."

After listening to the middle-aged man's narration, everyone was silent.

His story spans more than 2000 years, giving people a very unreal feeling, but everything can match this strange world, making it difficult for people to doubt it.

And to digest all of this, it also takes time...

"Fang Qiong can create something with his own ideas in this world, and even change the climate and environment of this world, can you do the same?"

But Wu Liang suddenly asked a question that everyone almost forgot.

"What do you mean by that? Can you tell me in detail what she created?"

The middle-aged man was immediately asked with a confused face, and asked in surprise.

"For example: turning a desert into an ice sheet."

Wu Liang said without hesitation.

He didn't doubt that the middle-aged man was pretending to be stupid. He probably really didn't know anything, and he didn't have the strange ability like Fang Qiong.

Otherwise, the middle-aged man would not have asked them to remove his body from the wooden coffin, let alone tell them so much.

And now far away from the "Tomb of the Sun" altar, if middle-aged men have the same strange ability, they can easily trap them to death, but they have no way to kill him like they did to Fang Qiong before, the situation is completely one-sided, He didn't even have to pretend.

"This……"

The expression of the middle-aged man was even more surprised, and he asked repeatedly, "She can turn the desert into an ice sheet? How is this possible? I have been lying in the altar of the 'Tomb of the Sun' for more than 2000 years. Apart from being able to continue to be reborn, why? Never feel that you are different from ordinary people?"

"I'm afraid this matter varies from person to person..."

Wu Liang shrugged.

"But none of the clansmen who were buried with me in the altar of the 'Tomb of the Sun' have ever been able to do this?"

The middle-aged man still looked puzzled.

"This strange world didn't exist at that time, did it?"

Wu Liang said again.

If the middle-aged man can't explain this matter, then he can't explain it even more, and maybe even Fang Qiong himself may not be able to give a reasonable explanation.

But if you compare the middle-aged man with Fang Qiong, you will immediately find some very distinct differences.

And these differences not only do not exist in middle-aged men, but also do not exist in most normal people.

For example: Fang Qiong's extremely split mental state, quite serious antisocial personality disorder, and very extreme personality and emotions...

Although it has not been confirmed, as far as Wu Liang knows, from ancient times to the present and later generations, all the rumors of haunted houses and haunted houses that have experienced phenomena that cannot be explained by science have an old owner with a similar prototype.

This is most likely not groundless.

Perhaps a person's spirit and thoughts are strong enough and persistent to a certain extent, and it is really possible to have a certain impact on things outside the body or a space, even if it is the spirit and thoughts left by the dead... Although no definite evidence has been obtained , but Wu Liang is very clear that even after nearly 2000 years later, there are still many experts and scholars conducting research in this area, and the research materials are rarely made public.

"This……"

The middle-aged man was immediately stopped by Wu Liang again.

"Not to mention this, just now you said that there seems to be a loophole in this strange world, which is why Fang Qiong was able to break in. At the same time, the weird plant called 'Vigley' has grown again. It should be ten years. What happened before?"

Wu Liang skipped this topic for a while, and then asked, "We arrived at that ruins a few days ago, and saw a round-leaved plant with red sap flowing, this plant should be the 'Vigley' you mentioned. 'Bar?"

"Exactly!"

The middle-aged man nodded seriously.

"But this 'Vigley' just grew in the ruins, and it didn't spread as fast as you described more than 2000 years ago. Otherwise, it shouldn't be on such a scale in ten years, right?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"indeed so."

The middle-aged man nodded again and said, "This is also a strange place for me. If it was like 2000 years ago, it would only take a few months for the 'Vigley' to occupy the entire 'Camel Tomb', but now the 'Vigley' Vigley', however, seems to be restricted by some kind, and only grows in the ruins, which is something I don't understand."

"In any case, this is a good thing, but if this strange world is as you feared, once the last wooden coffin is destroyed, this strange world will also overlap with the real world, whether there will be restrictions at that time Prohibition of 'Vigley' spreading..."

Wu Liang frowned and said.

Just now when he heard the middle-aged man talk about "Vigley", Wu Liang thought of some plants that have many similarities with it.

These plants are the main raw materials for refining harmful "poisons" in later generations. They will drag people and animals into an abyss from which they cannot extricate themselves like "Vigley", and turn all people and animals that come into contact with them into terrible creatures. The walking corpses of the dead, finally went to destruction in a daze.

Even as far as Wu Liang knows, there is another country in later generations that has a very similar experience to the "Sairi" tribe.

This country is located in Central Asia. 90% of the men in the whole country do nothing every day. They just keep chewing a kind of "tea" that will definitely be blocked if they write their names, so that most of the time they are in a kind of A paralyzed state of logical confusion.

Under such circumstances, this water-scarce country has basically given up basic agriculture, and the residents' drinking water problems are ignored. Instead, more than half of the fresh water resources are used to grow this extremely water-consuming "tea". To meet people's strong demand for this "tea".

According to experts' estimates, if this status quo is not changed.

The country's capital will be completely waterless in 2025, turning into a ghost town from which lovers of "tea" will perish along with them and sane people will have to flee in order to survive.

Is it very similar?
But "Vigley" is obviously more terrifying than that "tea leaf".

Not only will it drain the local freshwater resources, but it will also release salt substances that will turn the land that breeds all things into a barren land in a very short period of time!
Moreover, it can also turn addicted people and animals into stone statues, even after death, they still rely on it, fighting for him to the scum...

This should be the real reason why Lop Nur has become like this today, and it cannot be restored after more than 2000 years.

And what Wu Liang had to doubt was.

The mysterious disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan hundreds of years ago may also have an inseparable relationship with "Vigley", because... "Vigley", which has disappeared for more than 2000 years, has reappeared!

That is to say.

The guess that the "Lop Nur Drift" that he led to the investigation of Lop Nur before led to the disaster of the ancient Loulan may be wrong, and the guesses of scholars and archaeologists in later generations may also be wrong. It's this horrible plant called "wigley".

Now go back and think about it.

Fang Qiong's "stone statue" that they salvaged from that mysterious small lake before is very likely to be the masterpiece of "Vigley". Fang Qiong ate "Vigley" when he left this strange world, and finally died in the That small lake turned into a "stone statue", and when she turned into a "stone statue", the salt substances seeping out of her body turned that small lake into a terrifying "petrified lake" in the end!
Is this the terrible thing about "Ancient Poison"?

Fortunately, as far as Wu Liang knows, although many "poisonous" plants have been discovered in later generations, there are no plants that can be compared with "Vigley", and of course there are no suspected plants.

Of course, there may not necessarily be no discovery...

It’s just that since the establishment of the New Heavenly Dynasty, there has always been a zero-tolerance attitude towards such plants and products. Even if they found something during the inspection of Lop Nur, they would definitely control it and keep it secret forever, ensuring that even if it is used, it will definitely be used. in the right place.

After all, what Wu Liang knew was true.

Among the scientific expedition teams that later generations went to Lop Nur for research, there are always some top botanists. Among them, the mysterious disappearance of a well-known botanist has attracted the attention of all walks of life, and many incredible rumors have spread...

"..."

The middle-aged man couldn't answer Wu Liang's question.

Everyone in the Huanren Army was also silently thinking about Wu Liang's question.

Plants like "Vigley" shouldn't exist at all. Once it spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable... However, no one knows how to completely destroy it, because the middle-aged man has already said that in order to save For his own people, he has tried countless methods.

And even Wu Liang, who came from later generations, knows only four weeding methods:

One is physical weeding.

This method is nothing more than the most primitive methods such as shoveling, hoeing, cutting, and burning. This method can basically be ruled out. Middle-aged men have definitely tried it, so there is no need to think about it;
The second is to use grass to make grass.

To put it bluntly, it is to plant some weeds with strong vitality and good at robbing nutrients to squeeze "Vigley" to death, but this method can basically be ruled out. Now this place has become a saline-alkali desert where not a single grass grows. Wu Liang really can't think of it. There's no weed that can compete with "Vigley";
The third is animal weeding.

This method can also be directly ruled out. What happened to the animals that ate "Vigley"? The middle-aged man has already said clearly;

The fourth is chemical weeding.

That is to spray chemical pesticides to kill weeds. This method may be a try, but the problem is that Wu Liang has no idea what the ingredients of chemical herbicides are...

I feel helpless again, and the more I think about it, the more hopeless I become.

Wu Liang shook his head helplessly, feeling very powerless in his heart, at this moment he suddenly caught a glimpse of those two huge stone tablets obliquely inserted in the yellow sand.

"By the way, you should know what the symbols engraved on these two stone tablets mean?"

Wu Liang temporarily put aside the question of weeding, and pointed to the stone tablet curiously and asked the middle-aged man.

"This is the totem language of our 'Sairi' tribe."

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, and then explained to Wu Liang very solemnly, "The left side means that it is as hot as the sun; the right side means that it is as eternal as the moon. In fact, you Central Plains had a similar poem a long time ago. I remember it seems to be pronounced as 'as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun', which is almost what it means."
