Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 495 Afterwards Zhuge Liang (4000)

All of a sudden, there was a loud sound of gongs in the forest.

There are endless ringtones in response.

Not only Hao Meng was angry, but the soldiers scattered in the forest were even more anxious than him.

They have never encountered a situation like today.

In fact, when they heard the sound of the gong, they had already quickly assembled towards Hao Meng's side. However, due to some special terrain and obstacles, they couldn't come directly and had to choose to bypass these terrain and obstacles.

As a result, this detour led to a problem.

They were sure that they were trying to gather in the direction of the sound of the gong, but for some reason, as they walked and walked, they found that the sound of the gong was actually getting farther and farther away.

Even if several groups of people were indeed close to the sound of the gong, they thought they would see Hao Meng when they turned the corner.

In the end, when I turned around, I didn't see any trace of Hao Meng and others. When the sound of the gong came again, I found that the sound of the gong had become farther away. It was unreasonable...

"What the hell is the general doing? Why is he beating the gong to order us to assemble, but running around so that we can't find him?"

"It's no wonder we are running around by himself!"

"Listen! Listen! The sound of the gong is getting louder and louder, and he is getting anxious. Even walking a monkey is not like this..."

"It doesn't treat us as human beings!"

"Shut up! If anyone talks nonsense again and it reaches the general's ears, don't blame me for not pleading for you!"

"..."

Soldiers in many groups couldn't help complaining.

Originally, they had already endured a lot of hardships when they came to this wilderness. Not only did they not sleep well at night, but their daily rations were also very rough. It is getting less and less, and it is impossible for Lu Bu to send someone to deliver food, so Hao Meng has ordered to reduce the quota of soldiers in the past few days, and even the crude rations cannot manage enough.

The soldiers had long had some resentment in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it clearly, and now some people's dissatisfaction finally showed up.

"Bang bang bang! bang bang bang!"

The gongs of the assembly became more and more urgent, as if they were urging them to die.

The military order was like a mountain. Although these soldiers were depressed, they could only speed up their pace further under the leadership of Shi Chang, and went to join Hao Meng.

However, Hao Meng's figure was never seen, but he was very anxious about these things.

It is routinely prohibited in the army. Once the assembly gong is heard, no matter what the soldiers are doing, they must put down what they are doing. At the latest, they must go to the assembly within a cup of tea. very long.

But now these chiefs didn't see other groups, always thought that others had already arrived at the assembly point, and only they had something wrong here, so they became more and more anxious.

"Hurry up! Hurry up, everyone, or I will lose my head!"

The head of a group was so anxious that tears were about to fall. He really didn't dare to stop for a moment, and led his soldiers around in the woods like headless chickens.

"How long do you listen."

A calmer soldier beside him said in a timely manner, "There are still many bells in the forest responding to the assembly gong. This should mean that there are still many people like us who have never joined the general. I am afraid it is not ours." The problem is, as the saying goes, the law does not blame the crowd, if everyone goes wrong, the general will not be able to punish you alone anyway."

"Oh, you make sense."

Na Shichang was stunned when he heard the words, wiped off his sweat and said in deep thought, "But it shouldn't be, this forest is only a few miles around, and it usually takes less than a moment to cross it, how could there be such a thing?" Many people can't join the general, why is that?"

"..."

Those long words caused the rest of the soldiers to fall into silence.

The calmer soldier's face gradually changed, and he said with a worried expression: "Boss, speaking of this matter, do you feel that there are many strange things tonight?"

"What's so strange?"

Very puzzled.

"You just said that this forest is only a few miles around, and it doesn't take even a moment to cross it."

The soldier said with a strange expression, "But we have been walking in this forest for an hour. As far as I know, although we need to bypass some obstacles, the overall direction of travel should be north. After walking for so long Why haven't we crossed this mountain forest?"

"?"

Shi Chang was speechless for a moment.

The rest of the soldiers also straightened their necks with astonishment on their faces.

"and also."

The soldier then frowned and said, "There are more than [-] groups of us scattered into the forest to investigate. If the forest is only a few miles away, the distance between each group will not be too far to walk. How long should we meet with people from other groups, but why have we walked in this forest for an hour without encountering people from other groups, as if we are the only ones in this forest?"

"?!"

The extremely long pupils trembled unconsciously.

The rest of the soldiers also felt a little chill in their vests, subconsciously moved closer, and turned their heads to look behind them unconsciously, only then did they feel a little relieved.

"also."

The soldier also tightened his neckline, and continued, "Boss, it's not the first time we have come out with the general to do business, and we are not people who do not distinguish between the south, east and north. When the general hit the gong just now, we were indeed There is really no reason to go further and further in the direction of the sound of the gong, and it is not the first time for General Hao to lead the army. How could he not know that he should stay where he is when the gong is struck and wait for us to go to assemble? Therefore, I think General Hao I will definitely not run around, let alone make fun of the sound of the assembly gong, this is a military order signal, no jokes are allowed at any time, how could General Hao be so confused?"

"Gollum!"

Shi Chang swallowed subconsciously.

After the soldier's well-founded analysis, he and the other soldiers finally realized that this matter was not as simple as they thought.

"So, could it be that we have been bewitched by evil spirits, so although we can hear the sound of gongs and bells, we cannot see other people, nor can we be seen by others?"

It was very difficult for Shi Zhang to speak out what was in his heart, "No, no, it should not only be that we have been bewitched by evil spirits. Listening to the faster and faster gongs and bells, other people seem to be bewitched by evil spirits as well. Everyone is trapped in this forest, they can only hear each other's voice but cannot see each other, no matter how long they walk, they can't get out of this forest with a radius of only a few miles?"

"..."

What Chang thought in his heart was also what everyone thought.

It's just that he said it so bluntly, which coincided with the guesses in everyone's minds, and immediately felt a sense of confidence, which made everyone even more frightened.

"This...how is this good?"

Shi Chang was already pacing back and forth in a panic, like ants on a hot pot, and muttered to himself as an afterthought, "I have thought about it for a long time, how can I not get my shoes wet when I often walk by the river? What's more, to do this immoral thing of digging graves is to harm the morality, and there will be no good end in the end. This is good, the retribution finally came. This is the punishment that heaven sent to people like us. If we can't hide for fifteen years, we are destined to be trapped here to death this time, what should we do, what should we do..."

"How long..."

Seeing that the leader has become this kind of virtue, the other soldiers are naturally more frightened and more and more bewildered.

This chief is obviously not a qualified grassroots leader, but this kind of grassroots chief in this era is basically some veterans who were lucky enough not to die in the war, and they were basically tenant farmers like ants before they became soldiers. He has not received much education, and even the training in the army is very simple. Naturally, he can't be expected to have any leadership skills. Already very qualified.

"I've already said that. The thing we dug up a few days ago was 'Tai Sui'. I knew 'breaking ground on Tai Sui' was a bad omen when I was very young. Something must happen. However, General Hao still doesn’t believe in evil, so instead of leading us to retreat quickly, he put away that ‘Tai Sui’ and stayed here to continue digging the grave.”

A younger soldier was also crying, sat on the ground with a look of despair and howled, "This is good, we have offended 'Tai Sui', and 'Tai Sui' is now bringing disasters to trap us to death Here, even if I want to withdraw now, I can't withdraw..."

It was fine if he didn't howl, but when he howled, the bell that was still ringing nearby stopped instantly.

"?!"

These people couldn't help being even more shocked.

Why did the ringing stop suddenly?
Could it be that they have been separated from the world forever? !
However, they had forgotten that although they could not see people from other groups for a while, the sound could be transmitted like the sound of gongs and bells.

People nearby have heard the words.

Therefore, no matter it is the person who has already noticed something is wrong, has already guessed in his heart, or those people with a simple mind and a fat heart, they have already listened to these words in their hearts at this moment, and have the same understanding of their current situation.

In addition, there have been rumors in the military camp that "breaking ground on the head of Tai Sui" is a bad omen.

This naturally becomes "yellow mud falling into the crotch"-it's either shit or shit.

Could it be that this is really a disaster from the "Tai Sui", and we have been trapped here to death?

At this moment, no one cared who made the howl just now, and whether they would be punished for the crime of cholera. People are selfish, and their first consideration is their own situation.

What's more, everyone can't see anyone now, and the howling just now is not a rare dialect accent, so it is not easy to judge who it is.

"How can this be good?"

Anyone who heard these words fell into surprise.

Looking back and thinking about what happened tonight, those unexplainable and weird things immediately emerged, and the more I thought about it, the more frightening I was.

Can't see others...

Can't get out of the woods...

He clearly heard the sound of the gong, but he walked around but couldn't find Hao Meng and the others anyway...

In particular, the sound of the assembly gongs is getting faster and faster, as if urging them to die...

They quickly imagined that they were not the ones who encountered this situation, even Hao Meng and others who led them here had the same problem.

After all, the assembly gong has been ringing for quite some time.

Under normal circumstances, the assembly gong would only ring once, and no one dared not to come to the assembly, otherwise it would be a capital offense, and no one dared to make fun of their own heads.

at this time.

"Which bastard is talking nonsense to shake the morale of the army. When I see you, I will behead you as a warning to others!"

Unfortunately, Hao Meng was nearby, and he heard the howling, and immediately cursed furiously.

However, at this moment, his mind was also a little shaken.

Because even he has never encountered such a tricky thing, so naturally there is no way to give a reasonable explanation, even if it is an explanation that can deceive himself first.

However, he is an experienced general after all, and he knows that the more it comes to this kind of time, the less he can teach his soldiers to think wildly, otherwise it will not only greatly affect the morale, make the army's morale loose, and even mutiny may occur, making things worse Even more out of control.

and so.

His priority now is still to find a way to gather these soldiers as soon as possible, and take them out of this forest before talking about other things.

As for whether the "commitment to Tai Sui" caused the catastrophe, or there are other mysteries here, it is not the time to think about these, and there is no time to delay...

But now the problem is.

He could only hear the voices of his soldiers, and he couldn't see the shadows of these soldiers at all. How to gather them together?
Just when Hao Meng was at a loss.

When Cao Xing next to him couldn't offer any constructive suggestions.

"General?!"

A group of soldiers holding torches suddenly appeared not far away. When they saw Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others, they immediately cried out in surprise, and ran over while screaming.

The strange things Hao Meng and others encountered were precisely because Zhuge Liang had laid the legendary "Eight Arrays" in this forest.

If Wu Liang and the others were here, they would naturally know that the people or things in the "Eight Arrays" are not completely impossible to meet, it's just that the probability is pitifully small.

When Wu Liang and others visited the "Mu Cemetery", they encountered the corpse of the big yellow dog that had been put in the formation and starved to death before they could decipher the "Eight Arrays".

Now that Hao Meng and the others are divided into more than 30 groups and scattered in the formation, the probability of people from different groups meeting each other is naturally much higher.

However, this may not be beneficial to Hao Meng and others.

Even if Hao Meng and this group of people are now together, it is only one less group, which cannot solve their current predicament.

But this matter instantly boosted Hao Meng's confidence.

"Don't panic, everyone, and don't listen to the nonsense of that bastard just now. Now that I have joined a group of people, I can prove that although there are some weird things in this place, it is not actually a strange place. Quarantine us!"

Hao Meng was overjoyed, and immediately raised her voice and shouted to the soldiers in the forest, "From now on, people in the same group must not move separately. The chiefs will continue to ring the bell, and then choose the nearest people first to join, and then gradually After the assembly is complete, I can assure you that as long as you obey orders, I will definitely take you out of here safely!"
