Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 575 Light moss (4000)

In addition, Wu Liang also heard another layer of malice from Yan Lu's words.

Beautiful wife and beautiful concubine...

It was naturally referring to Bai Jingjing and Zhen Mi.

Regardless of the etiquette of this era or from the perspective of human nature, normal people usually don't always talk about other people's wives and concubines if they don't have some ideas.

Zhang Liang mentioned it before, and now Yan Lu mentioned it again.

Although it seems to be a casual statement, but if there is no concern in the heart, how can it be so casual?

"I hope you agree with what you say, and don't let your master's trust in you be betrayed by your wild thinking, otherwise...hehe."

Yan Lupi nodded with a nonchalant smile, and continued to lead them to the depths of the underground palace.

……

After about a stick of incense, the downward slope of the passage finally eased.

Wu Liang and the others finally came to a hall in the direction of the head.

This hall was the size of two basketball courts. If Zhang Liang's men had not lit many torches on the surrounding walls, it would be difficult for him to see the whole hall without Sui Houzhu.

There are dozens of stone pillars erected in the hall, which can only be embraced by two adults hand in hand, and only in this way can this underground hall of such a scale be supported.

And except for these stone pillars.

This hall is actually empty?
Wu Liang looked around for a week, only to find a huge stone gate opened for two carriages on the opposite side of the passage...

However, if you look closely, you can find that there are many traces of dust accumulation and moving objects left on the ground of this hall.

That is to say, there should have been a lot of things in this hall, but they have all been removed, so it became what it is now.

Is it the "solid meat" used in sacrificial ceremonies?

Wu Liang guessed in his heart.

I can't say for sure, but judging from the situation within the scope of the details that I can observe, there must be a lot of things stored in this hall, and the volume should not be too large...

at this time.

"That is……"

Wu Liang noticed a dark red mark on the ground about a foot away from him.

But at this moment, he couldn't go to the side of the dark red trace to examine it carefully, so he couldn't judge what it was left for the time being.

Following Yan Lu in this way, he took another step forward.

A strong smell of blood rushed to his face, and Wu Liang saw more dark red traces on the ground. Some of these dark red traces were large and some were small. anything in common.

"Son."

Dian Wei lightly touched Wu Liang's shoulder, and motioned Wu Liang to look to the right with his eyes.

Wu Liang turned his head and saw what Dian Wei wanted him to see.

It was a bloody handprint left on the stone pillar.

The bloody handprint was pressed about one meter from the ground, and then began to slide down, leaving a long red scratch on the stone pillar.

Next to this bloody handprint, Wu Liang also saw two long and thin grooves.

The trend of these two grooves is also irregular, but it seems that it is probably caused by cutting with a sharp weapon, and the incision of the groove is relatively new, it is absolutely impossible to leave it a long time ago...

"Has there been a large-scale battle here recently?"

Wu Liang frowned.

Those dark red traces must be bloodstains. The smell of blood on the face indicates that there should be such bloodstains everywhere here, and these bloodstains should also be left recently. Otherwise, the smell of blood will fade until it dissipates. The red part of the skin will gradually disappear, and it is difficult to maintain the current deep red color.

So who are the two sides in the fight?
One of them, Wu Liang, already had the answer, and it must be Jinyang Ling Zhang Liang.

This place is hidden in the backyard of the Zhang Mansion, it is impossible for anyone to break in, let alone a large number of people, not to mention that apart from Zhang Liang, there should be few people in Jinyang City who can organize a considerable number of people.

Just don't know how Zhang Liang's people suffered in this battle?
And the other side...

Wu Liang once again thought of those "solid meat".

This is undoubtedly a terrible guess. If it was the "solid meat" distributed at the sacrificial ceremony that fought with Zhang Liang's troops, then those "solid meat" would no longer be ordinary corpses, but could move freely, and even possibly Zombies with certain thoughts and IQs!

Then there must have been an astonishing and uniform corpse change in this place.

In other words.

The person who built this underground palace is very likely to have mastered the terrible witchcraft that turns the corpses of the dead into zombies!
This kind of witchcraft is not trivial, and there will be many pseudo-sci-fi movies about related themes in later generations. It goes without saying...

Although such villains in the movie are all fabricated, they are also alluding to the real world, which is by no means groundless.

Think about it carefully, except for a few notorious research institutes that appear in the news media, there must be countless research institutes secretly established by various countries in this world, and each country also has a restricted area that strangers should not get close to. What is being studied, and what cannot be seen?

Moreover, there are rumors of unnatural phenomenon research institutes in every country...

Thinking of this, Wu Liang couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Although he had stolen so many tombs, he had encountered many evil things, but he had never encountered such a thing that could directly face the army of the undead.

But now Zhang Liang and his group are still alive and well, and dare to enter this underground palace.

Even the "solid meat" was cooked and distributed to the people of Jinyang City to eat, which showed that even if there was an army of the living dead, it was not invincible.

When thinking so.

A group of people have reached the huge stone gate opposite.

At this moment, the stone gate is open, and the mottled bloodstains and traces of knives and axes left on it are even more mysterious. Even the entire ground under the stone gate is dyed dark red, and there is a slight sticky feeling when stepping on it. .

It is not difficult to judge that this place is likely to be the place where the battle is the most intense.

"..."

Now Wu Liang really wants to interview Yan Lu, or interview the accompanying soldiers.

He just wanted to find out what happened in this place, what the situation was like at that time, and whether there were any casualties in Zhang Liang's army.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it, I knew that these people would never answer his question.

So it's better not to open your mouth, don't make yourself uncomfortable...

But maybe there is one person who can answer my doubts, this person is Zuo Ci whose purpose is not clear at the moment, but I have to figure out what this guy is trying to do by forcing me to come here, so as not to be used as a weapon by him.

Just when Wu Liang was thinking so.

"You're a smart guy who can keep his mouth shut."

At some point, Yan Lu slowed down and came to Wu Liang's side, looking at him with a hint of appreciation.

"Why did Guan Shi make such a statement?"

Wu Liang asked with a low eyebrow.

"If ordinary people come here and see this scene, they will not be too scared to walk, and they will certainly not be able to control their mouths. They want to ask what happened here, but you are different. You have neither I was so scared that I couldn't walk, and I didn't ask questions immediately, and my performance was much better than what the old slave thought."

Yan Lu showed a genuine smile rarely, and praised, "The master just needs a stranger like you. If you don't have a different heart, the old slave can recommend you to be reused by the master."

"Strict management is absurd, how dare a villain have a different heart."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said.

"It's best not to be free. This time, you should do your job well and show your ability in front of the master. The old slave will speak well for you."

Yan Lu patted him on the shoulder again to encourage him, and then he strode ahead.

"..."

Looking at Yan Lu's back, Wu Liang couldn't understand it.

A slave with a brand on his face cannot be called an independent person at all, even in the eyes of his master, he might not even be considered a human being.

But after so many contacts with Yan Lu, Wu Liang gradually felt that his identity was not quite like a slave.

At least in Wu Liang's view, some of the words Yan Lu said were not words that a slave without independent human rights should say, and it felt more or less like acting like a slave.

Just like what I said to him just now.

Normally speaking, it should be Zhang Liang who thinks Wu Liang is good first, and then teaches Yan Lu to recruit Wu Liang, instead of Yan Lu thinking Wu Liang is good, patting his chest and recommending Wu Liang to be reused by Zhang Liang... ...This move is very much like a eunuch who has become a big eunuch in the court, and it is a bit out of bounds no matter how you look at it.

But when the eunuch grows bigger, if Yan Lu, a slave, is extremely favored by Zhang Liang, he can naturally grow bigger.

Perhaps Zhang Liang gave Yan Lu such a great power, which is understandable.

……

Next, Wu Liang and Dian Wei followed Yan Lu through several shorter passages.

And these passages are also connected to two halls that are slightly smaller than the previous one.

However, the situation of the two temples is similar, and some traces of dust accumulation and moving objects can be seen inside, but they are now empty.

The difference is that the two halls are not full of blood and battle traces like the previous hall, and there is no strong smell of blood in the air, but a damp musty smell instead.

These two halls were indeed much damper than the previous one, mottled moss grew on the ground and walls.

And what is extremely miraculous is that these mosses are exuding a yellow-green light spot at the moment, just like the mysterious nebula in the night sky, which makes this underground palace look more gorgeous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is resplendent.

Of course, it also makes it look even weirder...

The accompanying soldiers were a little nervous when they entered the two halls, which can be seen from their hands holding weapons tightly and their breath slowing unconsciously.

Wu Liang was also a little puzzled at first.

But when he took a closer look and found that the spots of light came from the moss itself, he no longer felt puzzled.

First things first, the moss should be harmless.

After all, Wu Liang has not seen Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci until now, they must be still ahead, that is to say, these two halls have already been inspected by Zhang Liang, if they are harmful, they will have no way to pass through these two halls Go to the front.

Secondly, Wu Liang really knows a kind of moss that can emit light——light moss.

Light moss usually only lives in an environment with very weak light or no light at all. This kind of place is not only difficult for vegetation to survive, but also other mosses are not easy to survive, but it is a paradise for light moss.

Ordinary people rarely see light moss, because if there is no special reason, people usually don't enter this kind of dark, cold and humid place that has no light all year round.

But this rare moss often appears in some archaeological books.

Because more than half of the places where ancient monuments and ancient tombs can be left are in such an environment, so light moss can often be seen.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Only in an environment where people do not frequent and animals, plants, and plants are difficult to survive, those ancient monuments and ancient tombs are less likely to be damaged and disturbed... and those places that are easy to reach, even if there are still some Most of the ancient sites have lost most of their archaeological value after hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, Wu Liang was no stranger to these seemingly strange light spots.

And what he really cares about.

In fact, it is the environment of this underground palace.

He had reason to suspect that there was an underground river in this place, because they did not go downhill later, so it is certain that the two temples behind and the dry hall in front should be at the same height.

And even at the same height, it stands to reason that there should not be such an obvious change in humidity.

Unless there is a water source near the two temples behind.

And in such an underground, if there is a source of water, it can only be an underground river...

When thinking about it like this.

"Master, the old slave brought the man here!"

Not long after walking out of the hall, he passed through a relatively narrow passage, and Yan Lu, who was walking in front, suddenly bowed down and gave a report.

Wu Liang walked out of the passage, and immediately saw Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci.

And behind these two people stood about forty or fifty soldiers who were also heavily armed and wore a long winter coat.

About ten feet away in front of Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci.

It is a black water river about three feet wide.

The river flows very slowly. If you don't look carefully, you will think that the river is in a static state.

On the other side of the Heishui River, there is a steep rock wall directly connected to the top of the underground palace. Even if you cross this river, you can't move forward.

Look back at the upper and lower reaches of the Heishui River.

The river bank on their side is also blocked by rocks that are integrated with the underground palace. If they want to move on, they can only enter the river to go upstream or downstream.

Besides.

On the Zhang Liang, Zuo Ci and Heishui River's wide river bank, Wu Liang also saw a large area of ​​water slowly flowing back into the river.

"This is……"

Wu Liang was a little puzzled, the river was so calm, how did the water marks come from?

Could it be... is there something in the river?
