Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 571 Not enough to count (4000)

"Solid meat?"

Wu Liang has seen this term in the novels of later generations.

The novel about "solid meat" is described as follows: hot wax is poured on the human body, and after cooling, the corpse can maintain a specific shape. This is the so-called "solid meat".

It's just that he doesn't know if the "solid meat" that Zhen Mi is talking about is the "solid meat" he knows.

"So there's something else you don't know."

Zhen Mi laughed and continued, "The so-called 'solid meat' is a living figurine made using a special method. Although there are many related methods, the ultimate goal is to keep the corpse from decaying for thousands of years Always maintain the posture that the producer needs the corpse to maintain."

This answer is similar to what Wu Liang learned from the novel.

Before that, Wu Liang thought that the so-called "solid flesh" was a fictional term invented by later novelists. Unexpectedly, such a term existed thousands of years ago.

"So you mean that the people in the city are inexplicably suffering from insanity because of this 'solid meat'. What is the basis?"

Wu Liang asked subconsciously.

"To be precise, it should be 'solid meat' made from 'Bu Xian Yang'."

Zhen Mi smiled sweetly and corrected, "Among the 'two-legged sheep', the 'unenviable sheep' has the heaviest yin energy, so it is also the most suitable 'solid meat' for arranging a huge formation. The only shortcoming is that it is buried in the ground all year round. If it gathers together with the Yin Qi from the ground and does not dissipate for a long time, it is easy to breed corpse poisonous miasma, and finally forms a forbidden area where no strangers should come near. If this corpse poisonous miasma is infected by a living person, it will not take long Dafa, the situation is not much different from those in the city who are suffering from insanity. Of course, this may be a good thing for those who are in the formation... The little thing of the concubine smells on the people who are suffering from insanity The taste of death is strong evidence that they have eaten 'solid meat' recently."

"People's life is not easy these days. You can't even see the smell of oil on weekdays, let alone eat meat. In addition, so many people have lost their minds together, so the only possibility is that the sacrificial ceremony a few days ago There is a problem with the meat distributed on the Internet!"

Wu Liang followed Zhen Mi's prompt and continued to push down, "Then the question now becomes, where did Zhang Liang find so many 'solid meat'? You said earlier that this 'not enviable' The 'solid meat' made from sheep is usually only used when one does not know the Great Formation, that is to say, Zhang Liang may have discovered an unknown Great Formation?"

"Do you still remember that I pointed out that the way of worshiping the person called Zuo Ci is the technique of 'wearying victory'?"

Zhen Mi nodded and said.

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

"From now on, it seems that he secretly used the 'skill of detesting victory' to suppress the poisonous corpses in this huge formation."

Zhen Mi analyzed intently, "In this case, that person named Zuo Ci is kind-hearted. He should have known that the meat distributed that day was 'solid meat', and he also knew that the people who ate 'solid meat' would have a bad heart." What happened, so I tried to use this method to suppress the poisonous corpses contained in it... and the person who distributed the "solid meat" was the real sinister person. He wanted to use the lives and yang energy of the people in the city to consume those corpses poisonous miasma, so as to achieve the purpose of entering this great formation."

This statement somewhat exceeded Wu Liang's expectations.

History books have never positively commented on Zuo Ci's character, and Wu Liang did not draw conclusions lightly. He also heard from Zhen Mi that Zuo Ci secretly used the "art of disgusting victory" during worship. Wu Liang became more suspicious of him and automatically He and Zhang Liang were classified into the same camp, and even at the beginning they thought he was the big boss hiding behind Zhang Liang.

On the contrary, Yu Ji, who has now become a veteran of the Tuan army, has a lot of records in this regard. The official history repeatedly mentions his life-saving deeds. It is a gentleman who benefits one side.

It is also for this reason that when Wu Liang first met Yu Ji, he had a lot of affection for him. This is the key factor for Wu Liang to recruit Yu Ji into the Huan army... Although until now, Wu Liang still believes that Yu Ji's so-called "fulfillment "Water to save people" is a trick of fortune tellers on the street, and Yu Ji also admitted that he really mastered only one skill of fortune-telling.

And for Zuo Ci.

Even after seeing him gouged out by Zhang Liang with one eye, Wu Liang still didn't regard him as a good person, let alone think about the kindness of the "art of disgust" he performed at that time.

And if it wasn't for Zhen Mi's evaluation at this moment, Wu Liang would continue to doubt it.

but.

Serious Zhen Mi is really more fascinating...

Looking at Zhen Mi's pretty face, Wu Liang was inexplicably distracted, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he said again: "Unexpectedly, Zuo Ci's actions are actually doing good deeds, but the corpse poisonous miasma is so simple. Can it be resolved?"

Just after asking, Wu Liang realized that he just asked nonsense.

If it can be resolved that easily, no common people in the city will suffer from insanity.

However, Zuo Ci's "art of disgusting victory" may not be ineffective.

After all, compared to the people in the whole city, the people suffering from insanity can be regarded as a small number at present, but I don't know if this situation will intensify in the future.

Wait!
At this moment, Wu Liang suddenly realized that maybe Zhang Liang gouged out one of Zuo Ci's eyes not only because he climbed down from the carriage and tried to escape, but because he also noticed that Zuo Ci secretly performed the "disgust" during the sacrificial ceremony. Therefore, he was punished so severely.

"Of course not."

Zhen Mi also seemed to have noticed Wu Liang's momentary loss of focus, and brushed her drooping hair again, then shook her head and said, "How can the poisonous corpses in the big formation be so easily resolved, he has done the most It only played a slightly suppressive role, treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

"The people in that city..."

Wu Liang asked subconsciously.

"I can only ask for blessings, but this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if you want to blame, you can only blame them for their greedy mouth and the evil people who distribute meat. You don't have to take it to heart."

Zhen Mi is indeed a nine-tailed fox demon who is both good and evil. She didn't take these human lives seriously, but said lightly, "What you should care about now is this huge formation, although I don't know what it is. I don't know who arranged this formation, but such a large formation, there must be something amazing hidden in this formation, we didn't get involved before, that's all, now that we have mixed in, we definitely don't We should miss it, not to mention that there are still people leading the charge for us now, we can wait for the opportunity to wait for the opportunity, and be the fisherman who will benefit in the end, even if it is worth taking some risks."

"..."

Wu Liang actually thought so too, but if there was any way to help those people, he wouldn't mind helping them.

He didn't think he was a good person, but when faced with these human lives, he couldn't be as carefree as Zhen Mi.

But if there was really nothing to do as Zhen Mi said, he wouldn't be unable to let go.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Wu Liang said again: "What you said is not unreasonable. Anyway, if I want to get out of my body now, I am still taking a risk. By the way, since your fox servants can sniff out those people The smell of death, so can you also follow the smell and try to find the location of the Great Formation?"

"If the formation is broken, there is no problem, but if the formation is not broken, the poisonous corpses will not float out of the formation, so this is not feasible."

Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "However, I will teach them to try, and also order them to run around in the city. Even if they can't find them by smell, they can enter places that ordinary people can't enter without anyone noticing, maybe It can also be rewarded.”

"Then I entrust this matter to you."

Wu Liang nodded and said, "In this way, you will search outside, I will lurk inside, and we will cooperate inside and outside, so that we can get more information, and we will be more confident in doing this matter."

After speaking, the two smiled knowingly.

For the first time after time travel, Wu Liang felt that he had met a confidant with similar tastes.

Many of Zhen Mi's thoughts coincided with his.

In this way, Wu Liang will undoubtedly have an additional "companion" with a similar heart and an equal "accomplice" in the future. Naturally, he can get twice the result with half the effort.

……

Although it has come to the "promised" twelfth lunar month.

But in the next few days, Zuo Ci still did not take any further actions, nor did he contact Wu Liang again.

The same is true of Zhang Liang.

It seemed that except for the servant who came to deliver meals every day, the others had already forgotten the existence of Wu Liang and Dian Wei.

And according to Zhen Mi Tuomeng, the situation of "insanity" in Jinyang City also reached its peak on the third day and then began to decline, and it had returned to calm on the seventh day.

There were no reports of casualties in the city.

Only Zhen Mi gave an estimate based on what those fox servants had seen and heard, and the number of deaths due to this alone should be around a thousand.

Today's Jinyang City can only be regarded as a county seat.

After being affected by the war, the resident population was only seven to eight thousand, and this time alone, one-seventh or eighth died, and often a regular plague hit, and that was nothing more than that.

The power of public opinion is still in the hands of Zhang Liang, the order of Jinyang.

He just defined this incident as an inexplicable plague. Under such circumstances, they can only do what Zhang Liang says, and they can only think about it.

……

This continued until the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the sky just darkened.

Finally there was some movement.

Wu Liang clearly heard a group of people walking into the courtyard where they were.

Then the door of Zuo Ci's room next door was violently kicked open, no one yelled loudly, and Zuo Ci did not make any movement.

Wu Liang only heard a familiar voice: "It's time, follow me."

This voice is not someone else, it is the steward of the Zhang residence.

During this period of time, Wu Liang has already learned some basic information about this steward. His name is Yan Lu, and he followed Zhang Liang when Zhang Liang became the commander of Jinyang 13 years ago. brand.

As for other situations, I can't find out more.

It should be that other people don't know much, after all, most of the people in the house didn't come here earlier than Yan Lu.

"Ha ha."

Zuo Ci finally let out a strange laugh with a hint of irony, and asked, "Are there enough sheep for sacrifice?"

"Master said, if you count enough, you have to lead the way. If you count enough, you have a higher chance of surviving. If you don't count enough, you are asking for trouble. You can ask for more blessings."

Yan Lu said in a cold voice, "Let's go! If you talk nonsense again, your other move will be useless."

"If I don't have another trick, it will be even more difficult for your master."

Zuo Ci's laughter was still free and easy.

"take away!"

Yan Lu immediately gave another soft drink.

Then there was the sound of footsteps walking away from the next door.

Through these short and vague conversations, Wu Liang has confirmed Zhen Mi's previous judgment.

Zuo Ci's previous technique of "disgusting victory" should indeed be a kind act, so he deliberately asked about the situation of "sacrificing sheep" in a mocking tone.

"Sacrificing sheep" should refer to the people in the city who died of insanity recently.

But Yan Lu's answer is probably not enough, more than a thousand people died, it is not enough, this battle is really big, Wu Liang couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

at the same time.

Tonight may be an extremely dangerous night for Zuo Ci.

Because "not enough" also means that the corpse poisonous miasma of the overwhelming formation or some restrictions have not been broken, and it is still a dangerous place that strangers should not get close to.

Zhang Liang taught Zuo Ci to lead the battle, it was tantamount to pushing him into a fire pit.

As for whether his body was smashed to pieces, or if he got a blessing in disguise like Monkey King and turned out a pair of piercing eyes, that's unknown.

However, Wu Liang was somewhat inclined towards the latter.

Because Zuo Ci in the historical records was blind in one eye, needless to say, that eye should have been blind at this time, that is to say, no matter whether Wu Liang appeared or not, Zuo Ci would definitely experience this catastrophe.

And the end result must be a blessing in disguise.

Because according to the historical records, he was still alive and well after that, and mastered the ability to play with Boss Cao and the princes from all walks of life, and became the most mysterious land fairy in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Wu Liang even had reason to suspect that it was this "disaster" that made Zuo Ci the future.

But the question now is, how can Wu Liang get involved in this matter.

It was obvious that Zhang Liang had no intention of teaching Wu Liang to participate in this operation, and he refused to disclose any information to him. He just regarded him as an alchemy tool that might be useful...

"It seems that this matter depends on Zhen Mi."

Wu Liang knew that he couldn't force it in now, so he had to immediately close his eyes and force himself to fall asleep. The time for dreaming that he had agreed with Zhen Mi was almost here.

Only by telling Zhen Mi the situation first, and teaching her to find out where Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci went and what they did, can they decide the next choice.
