Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 545 Expansion Screws (4000)

"!!!"

Such a voice suddenly came from the silent tomb, which startled everyone.

Even Guan Erye unconsciously gave a shock, and then pulled out the long sword from his waist with a "swish". If anything came out of the ear chamber at this time, he would definitely be hurt by him. differential attack.

The same is true for Zhang Fei and the soldiers under his command, completely looking like they are facing a big enemy.

After all, it was the first time for them to rob a tomb, and they lived in this era where all people believed in ghosts and gods. In addition to the previous "unfavorable start", it is reasonable to be highly nervous. After all, in many stories and legends of this era, ghosts and gods It is simply not something that can be dealt with by ordinary force, so this situation is definitely more exciting for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei than facing thousands of troops.

But in fact, Wu Liang and others are not much better.

They have only encountered many similar situations, and they will not react violently like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, but they also dare not take it lightly at this moment, and they are all ready to deal with all emergencies.

"..."

In this way, everyone seemed to have been tapped. They held their breath and stood quietly and listened carefully, hoping to judge what happened in the ear chamber through the sound.

But after this noise, there was no sound inside, as if nothing had happened.

After a moment.

"Jingjing, how are you?"

Wu Liang looked at Bai Jingjing, who had unusual hearing.

They didn't hear anything, which doesn't mean that Bai Jingjing couldn't hear anything either.

Bai Jingjing shook her head, frowned and said, "Just now, it seemed to be the movement made by some bronze or iron object falling on the ground and colliding with bricks and stones, and along with that movement, I also vaguely heard some small rustling sounds. , temporarily unable to hear what this small sound is coming from, but it seems to be a living thing that can move, because I can hear that the sound is gradually moving away from us, and now it is so far away that I can no longer hear any movement."

"Living thing……"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became even uglier.

The most fearful thing about entering the tomb is to encounter living things, because in this confined space that has been closed for hundreds of years, the living things that can survive will definitely not be good.

Even in the folklore, even if the living things in the tomb were not evil, it would definitely greatly increase the possibility of the corpse changing or fraudulent. This is definitely not a good sign for uninvited guests like them.

"Are you sure that the sound of this suspected living creature has gradually faded away?"

Wu Liang grasped the key points in Bai Jingjing's words, and deliberately confirmed it.

"determine."

Bai Jingjing nodded slightly, and said very briefly but firmly.

"Second brother and third brother, you stand back, Dian Wei will sweep the formation for me."

Wu Liang immediately passed through Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and led Dian Wei cautiously to the front of the ear chamber where the noise was coming from, and then slowly poked his head out to look inside under Dian Wei's guard.

"..."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei obviously wanted to say something when they heard the words, but they obediently shut their mouths when they saw the situation, and then voluntarily walked to Wu Liang and Dian Wei with their weapons in their hands, making a defensive posture.

Dian Wei saw that the two men were approaching Wu Liang with weapons, and they were also holding halberds in their hands, staring at them vigilantly.

Seeing that the two of them just spontaneously came to fight for Wu Liang, he nodded slightly to them, and guarded Wu Liang more attentively, but he never left the two of them from the corner of his eye.

……

This ear room is used to store funeral weapons.

Many mausoleums have this pattern, such as those Han tombs that were robbed before. The ear chamber at the front stores the buried weapons, terracotta warriors and other items, just like the gatehouse of the entire mausoleum, which means that there are soldiers and horses. Guarding the mausoleum for the owner of the tomb and guarding the gate of the yin house.

But at this moment, what Wu Liang saw was not a neatly arranged and clearly classified weapons room.

A lot of rusted weapons had fallen to the ground in a mess, and the wooden handles of some weapons were also decayed and broken, leaving only the metal parts that were relatively intact.

This is unreasonable.

Because whenever the tomb is buried with others, it must be placed neatly, and the door of the tomb will be closed immediately after the owner of the tomb is buried. Even if the erosion is damaged, it will definitely not become so messy, at least it should maintain the regularity of the previous arrangement.

It was precisely because the weapon room was too messy, and the dust was not completely preserved, Wu Liang couldn't tell which thing made the movement just now.

However, according to Bai Jingjing, it is likely to be one of these weapons.

"Everyone, don't panic, there is nothing foreign in here for the time being."

After observing it carefully, Wu Liang turned his head and said to everyone.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw that besides Dian Wei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also consciously standing by his side, and his sense of security suddenly increased.

One of these three people can be called the ceiling of the combat power of the generals of the Three Kingdoms. Wu Liang felt that he might be able to enter and exit seven times in Changbanpo all at once to protect himself.

"call--"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then gathered together to look into the tomb.

"Don't go in yet, don't destroy the traces left on the dust. Although these traces are very messy, we may still be able to find some useful clues."

Wu Liang stretched out his hand to stop the crowd, and then waved to the Huan army, "Jingjing, Yu Ji...and you, come and follow me into this tomb to check, be careful not to miss any details, and don't easily damage the dust left on the tomb." traces."

This "you" refers to Zhen Mi.

However, she is a well-known person in the local area, so it is inconvenient to call out her name in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, otherwise it may cause other troubles.

Bai Jingjing has an excellent hearing ability.

Yu Ji is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

As for Zhen Mi's words... In fact, in terms of knowledge and knowledge, Wu Liang thinks that she is definitely superior to Ji, and even her research on ancient characters is much better than Yu Ji. After all, she is a nine-tailed fox demon who has lived for thousands of years. These two aspects can completely replace Yu Ji.

But Yu Ji also has irreplaceable strengths, and his skill in public opinion is also very important, while Zhen Mi seems to be lacking in this aspect.

The three of them responded and quickly came to Wu Liang's side.

During this process, Zhen Mi's expression towards Bai Jingjing also quietly changed.

At this moment, she finally realized that Bai Jingjing was not just a vase and vassal that Wu Liang kept around to meet his physical needs, she was also a very important part of this small team.

Since joining this small team.

Except that Wu Liang is like a book, constantly showing abilities that are different from ordinary people, and constantly creating surprises and surprises for her.

Everyone in this small team is also gradually showing their own strengths. None of them is mediocre and useless. Everyone can be unique in a certain field if they are pulled out. In comparison, She herself was not that special.

At the same time, Zhen Mi has also realized it.

Wu Liang is indeed a person who can do great things, and if Wu Liang is willing, even without her help, he already has the ability to do great things to a certain extent, it just depends on whether he is willing...

……

After some inspection, they didn't find anything special in this pile of weapons.

On the contrary, the most eye-catching thing is the imprint left by something unclear in the dust on the ground.

These imprints are most likely footprints.

Because they are connected into many zigzag lines... But this "footprint" looks very strange, all of which are composed of long and thin dots of about 1 cm at most.

Wu Liang didn't know how to describe these small dots, he could only say that if you stab the ground with the tip of the long sword, the traces left should be the same as this small dots.

So if these elongated dots are the footprints of something.

From this, it can be deduced that the claws of this thing must be very sharp...

Following these footprints and slowly searching, Wu Liang and the others soon found a cave behind a broken wooden weapon rack that had fallen to the ground.

The cave seems to be only about 20 centimeters in diameter.

It was directly chiseled out of the hard stone brick wall, and on the stone bricks near the entrance of the cave, you can still see many obvious traces of cutting with knives and axes. Flattened stone chips and long-dried ash.

Also.

Looking into the cave by the light of the torch through the entrance of the cave, one can also see that the wall of the tomb made of stone bricks alone is about half a meter thick!

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Burglary?
Obviously not.

With such a small hole, only people like Yang Wanli who have mastered the "bone shrinking skill" by accident can enter and exit, and the distance should not be too long, otherwise they will not be able to move at all.

So some wild animal accidentally dug the hole?
Wu Liang still felt that it was impossible.

The most burrowing wild animal he can think of is the pangolin, but the wall is half a meter thick and is made of very hard stone bricks. The pangolin may not be able to do it even if its claws are all worn out. It is possible to dig through it, not to mention leaving these clear marks on it that resemble a knife and an axe.

unless.

Wu Liang has one thing that can accomplish this, that is, the "Diamond Diamond" that he brings with him, but even if the "Diamond Diamond" goes out, its small claws and teeth will not leave such a big hole. trace.

But one thing is worth noting.

That is, Bai Jingjing just heard the sound of rustling and fading away, that is to say, if there were any living creatures in the tomb just now, the hole may have been drilled out by that thing, and that thing is likely to be Get out of here through this cave.

"..."

Bai Jingjing, Yu Ji, and Zhen Mi also noticed the hole, and they also showed doubts on their faces.

"My lord, why don't you teach Yang Wanli to drill into the cave and check it out? If he uses the bone shrinking skill, he should be able to enter this cave?"

After pondering for a moment, Yu Ji suggested so.

"No!"

Wu Liang immediately vetoed it with one vote, "I don't know where this cave leads to yet, and the thing that can dig out this cave is very likely to be in the depths. If Yang Wanli encounters it after entering, I'm afraid it will be gone in no time." Being torn to pieces by it cannot teach Yang Wanli to take such risks."

"Uh... the old man didn't think carefully, and made a slip of the tongue."

Yu Ji immediately looked embarrassed, and quickly apologized. Although he always quarreled with Yang Wanli on weekdays, he didn't mean to kill Yang Wanli.

Wu Liang also knew what kind of person he was, so he didn't think about it.

Otherwise, no matter how capable Yu Ji is, Wu Liang will definitely kick him out of the Huan army, otherwise it will be a disaster after all.

"Jingjing, standing here at the moment, may you hear something coming from the cave?"

Wu Liang looked back at Bai Jingjing and asked.

"No movement."

Bai Jingjing shook her head and said.

That is to say, the thing has either gone far away, or is currently dormant in the cave, ready to move.

"Emmm..."

Wu Liang frowned and pondered, "In order to prevent that unknown thing from coming out of this cave after we leave here, we should seal this cave first, and then go deeper."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang had already bent down to pick up the weapons scattered on the ground.

Then put the weapons into the cave one by one, with the handle facing outward and the blade facing inward.

Bai Jingjing, Yu Ji, and Zhen Mi also helped to pick up the weapons on the ground and handed them over. After a while, more than [-] weapons had completely blocked the entrance of the hole.

"Dianwei, come in."

At this time, Wu Liang picked up the last weapon from the ground and inserted it into the gap between these weapons with great difficulty. As a result, the weapon was halfway inserted and could no longer go in, so he had to call Dian Wei in. "Insert this weapon as well. If possible, insert a few more through the gap as much as possible. When you're done, kick it with your foot. Make sure that all these weapons are tightly squeezed together to plug the hole."

"promise!"

Dian Wei immediately began to act.

Originally, Wu Liang could no longer insert weapons into the hole, but Dian Wei forcibly stuffed six weapons in. If it wasn't for the seventh weapon inserted, it would have been impossible to go any further, so that Dian Wei was so strong that he broke directly. I'm afraid I still have to continue to plug in.

In this way, these weapons together form a very common expansion screw in later generations.

If there is no force, it will be extremely difficult to remove this "expansion screw".

What's more, Wu Liang is sure that the thing is in the cave now. If it wants to come out of this cave to copy the back route of Wu Liang and others, the first thing it has to face is the "expansion screw" that is clustered together like a hedgehog. Even if the blade of a weapon is really powerful, it is difficult to strike without a body that is invulnerable.

Unless...the thing finds another way, but it is not easy, after all, even if the "diamond drill" drills the half-meter-thick wall of the tomb, it will also take a lot of effort.
