Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 583 Gu (4000)

"Jingle Bell!"

Yan Lu rang the copper bell in his hand without hesitation.

The light and crisp sound of the copper bell echoed in the river, and it was actually a little sweet.

But Wu Liang smelled some danger from the ringing of the bell. Under such circumstances, Yan Lu suddenly sacrificed such a small copper bell, he must have come prepared, otherwise those soldiers must be waiting for him to wreak havoc even more cruelly.

"..."

Although many soldiers didn't know what Yan Lu was doing, they were also a little apprehensive at the moment when they heard Yan Lu's warning before, and immediately set up their weapons to take precautions.

But after waiting for about two breaths... nothing happened.

"You son of a bitch, how dare you pretend to be a ghost when you are about to die!"

"Catch him. If he dares to act rashly, he will be killed. Now Zhang Liang has died under this dark river. From now on, Jinyang City will be our world. Brothers, good times are coming!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense anymore!"

"..."

The soldiers quickly became perverted again, especially a tall soldier who shouted extremely loudly from the very beginning.

The rest of the soldiers also responded to this person a lot. It is not difficult to see that he should be quite prestigious among these soldiers, and he will definitely become the leader of this mutiny in the future.

"promise!"

Several soldiers who were on the same bamboo raft as Yan Lu actually responded, and then supported the soldiers and approached the soldiers who had been surrounded by them.

The other bamboo rafts also made some moves, and gradually surrounded the bamboo rafts along the road.

"Prepare……"

Seeing this situation, Wu Liang was ready to order Dianwei to seize a bamboo raft by force while taking advantage of the chaos.

And he himself is always ready to jump into the river and swim to Dianwei.

Otherwise, once these bamboo rafts are taught to move closer together, it will undoubtedly be easier for soldiers on other bamboo rafts to take care of each other, and the risk of doing this will be a little higher.

Yet at this time.

"Hiss... Whoops!"

The tall soldier suddenly yelled strangely for some reason, and when everyone looked at him suspiciously, they saw that he was bowed and curled up on the ground like a shrimp, and his legs were still twitching.

"Uncle Wang, you... what's wrong?"

Everyone was just more puzzled, and hurriedly asked.

Several soldiers next to him came closer, grabbed his arm and tried to lift him up.

But when these few people managed to support the tall soldier, they screamed "Ah", so frightened that Ji Ling retreated to the other end of the bamboo raft, and even set up weapons to face him with his sword.

At this moment.

The crowd finally saw the state of the tall soldier clearly.

At this moment, not only his complexion was horribly pale, but he also had an extremely ferocious expression on his face. Even his eyes were bloodshot, and his veins were bulging. It didn't look like The appearance of a normal person.

"Cuckoo..."

His teeth clenched tightly, making a scalp-numbing rubbing sound.

the most important is.

Everyone could clearly see that there was a small thing surging under the skin of his face, and in the blink of an eye, it went all the way from the neck to the forehead, and then turned around the temple and the right cheek It came down and flowed down the neck again.

And this thing looks like there's more than one.

Before the last thing disappeared, another one had already appeared, and it also surged around under the skin of his face...the third, the fourth!

In just a few breaths, everyone has seen seven of these things.

No one could tell what was going on, they just felt that the scene in front of them was scary and weird, they were all shocked for a moment, they didn't know what to say, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts!"

In front of them, the tall soldier was already rolling on the bamboo raft, screaming heart-piercingly while rolling, and scratching aimlessly with both hands.

Just a few times, the exposed skin was already bloody, and he didn't even know that he had scratched off a few nails.

As the so-called ten fingers connected to the heart.

Even in later generations, pulling out nails is a torture that sounds scalp-numbing, and is often used to extract confessions by torture.

It can be seen that the pain this soldier is experiencing must be more painful than pulling out his nails, so the pain of nail falling off can be covered up.

But why is he suffering so much.

But no one can tell clearly...

of course.

The quick-witted person has already connected with the small brass bell in Yan Lu's hand. Just now Yan Lu warned everyone not to listen, but now he rang the bell, and the leading tall soldier immediately appeared in such a situation. It was very difficult People are not taught to make such connections.

Someone has subconsciously looked at Yan Lu.

At this moment, Yan Lu's expression was indifferent, and he was more convinced of the connection with this matter.

It's just that no one can explain clearly what's going on, but no one dares to act rashly anymore, it's just that there is a trace of fear in their eyes.

This move, however, did not spare others.

"This is... ah!"

"Ouch!"

"My stomach... how could it be like this?"

"Mother!"

A few seconds later, a similar situation occurred to more soldiers.

One by one, they bent down involuntarily like the tall soldier, screaming and rolling in pain, while scratching their bodies frantically, as if possessed by a demon.

And at the same time.

There is also something constantly surging under their skin, which looks extremely weird.

"?"

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang became more and more suspicious.

He had never encountered such a situation before, and he was really unable to determine what happened at this moment.

What worries Wu Liang the most is that.

He saw that Zuo Ci had the same situation. As far as he knew, Zuo Ci should have only come to Zhang's residence in recent months, and he has been detained in Zhang's residence since then.

This is somewhat similar to him and Dian Wei.

It's just that he and Dian Wei spent more time in Zhang's mansion, and naturally had less contact with Yan Lu.

But even so, Wu Liang had to worry that Yan Lu did the same thing to him and Dian Wei, even though he didn't feel any pain in his body until now.

And Dian Wei was also standing upright, without seeming to be affected in any way.

When I come back to my senses.

Except for him, Dian Wei, and Yan Lu himself, there was no one who could stand. Everyone was lying on the bamboo raft, rolling and scratching crazily.

The screams were endless, like purgatory on earth.

And the blood flowing from their bodies has gradually flowed into the dark river along the gaps in the bamboo rafts, and then a few red lines flowed into the black water of the dark river, like a few wisps of red paint merging into the black water. Among the ordinary paints, there is a bit of heart-pounding poignancy.

"Ha ha……"

Yan Lu apparently also noticed Wu Liang and Dian Wei who were not affected at all.

But when he aimed at Wu Liang and Dian Wei, there was no surprise on his face, just a weird smile.

This detail reassured Wu Liang a lot. Either it meant that Yan Lu hadn't done anything to the two of them, or it meant that even if Yan Lu had done something to them, it wasn't time for an attack yet.

next moment.

"Jingle Bell!"

Yan Lu rang the small brass bell in his hand again.

"Ouch..."

"pain……"

"Huh? It seems... better?"

The screams immediately became much quieter.

Although many soldiers were still lying on the bamboo rafts, they no longer rolled or scratched. Some soldiers even showed a trace of relief on their faces, panting and sitting up from the bamboo rafts with difficulty. He looked at Yan Lu in fear.

ring the bell.

It hurts so much.

Ring the bell again.

It's like being born again.

Even a fool can already be sure that what happened just now was exactly what Yan Lu did.

"Is this fine wine delicious?"

Yan Lu squinted his eyes and looked around the crowd, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this old slave just laid some Gu for you in advance, if you obey me obediently, this Gu will be safe with you, if you dare to disobey I, this Gu worm can also teach you to have your intestines rotted, and you will die suddenly after suffering all kinds of inhuman suffering."

Is it actually Gushu, one of the three great sorceries in southern Yunnan in folklore?
Wu Liang was shocked.

This is a bit troublesome. It is said that there are many ways to cast Gu, and some of them can be injected with just a handshake, while the more common way to cast Gu is "disease from the mouth".

Some Gu can be mixed into wine.

Some Gu can be mixed into meals.

It's almost impossible to guard against.

Wu Liang couldn't help but think of the meals he and Dian Wei had in Zhang's mansion these days. Although they were served with good wine and meat every day, Yan Lu arranged for these wine and meat meals. If he wanted to give Wu Liang and Dian Wei Wei Xia Gu, it's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand.

the most important is.

All the soldiers here, including Zuo Ci, were obviously bewitched by Yan Lu. It can be seen that Yan Lu would never overturn anyone on weekdays, so the chances of him and Dian Wei being bewitched are naturally much higher.

And the reason why he and Dian Wei were safe and sound when Yan Lu rang the bell.

It is possible that the eggs of Gu worms have not yet hatched or reproduced in their bodies, so the same symptoms did not appear. If it takes time, I am afraid they will end up in the same end.

But as far as the current situation is concerned.

The Gu that Yan Lu put on these people should not be the most powerful one.

Because according to folklore, the most powerful Gu can not only cause people to die suddenly and painfully, but can even affect a person's mind, or benefit or harm others according to the intention of the Gu caster. The most typical examples of similar Gu are love Gu and golden silkworm Gu.

but.

The emergence of Gu art in this era is not beyond Wu Liang's cognition.

Because voodoo does not only appear in folklore, the archaeological discoveries of later generations have been recorded in "Zhou Li·Autumn Palace" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Prescriptions", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and other Chinese medicine masterpieces that have a great influence on later generations are also recorded, and they are much more detailed than people's cognition, and even involve detailed analysis of the symptoms of Gu Zhong and medical prescriptions for treatment.

It's a pity that Wu Liang is specialized in the art, and Wu Liang didn't do much research on those great works of traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, he might have the opportunity to judge what kind of Gu Yan Lu used according to the records of these medical skills, so as to prescribe the right medicine to solve the problem.

However, he happened to remember the record in "Zhou Li·Autumn Palace":

"Shu's palm removes the poisonous Gu, attacking it with Jiacao."

This is the relevant record.

Among them, the "Shu family" is the same functional department established in the Western Zhou Dynasty as the "Huzhuo family" mentioned by Wu Liang when he encountered "fox confusion" in Liangzhou. It is specifically responsible for clearing the poisonous Gu.

And this sentence also happens to succinctly mention the method of getting rid of Gu worms - Jiacao.

The scientific name of this plant in later generations is Mino He, also known as Fushi.

It's a pity that Wu Liang doesn't know what this plant looks like, and most people may not know it. It is difficult to find and identify where it came from.

But soon Wu Liang thought of a way.

This plant is actually a kind of herbal medicine. You can go to the herbal medicine store and try to ask. If you can’t do it, there are two genius doctors Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing these days. Others don’t recognize this plant.

of course.

If Yan Lu didn't put Gu on him and Dian Wei, or if he could force Yan Lu to dispel the Gu for them with his own hands, that would be the best result and save a lot of effort.

The only thing to be thankful for right now is.

He and Dian Wei are no longer important in Yan Lu's heart, at least not more than Zuo Ci, so even if Yan Lu puts a Gu on the two of them, it should be at most the same level of Gu.

"..."

After hearing Yan Lu's words, all the soldiers fell silent.

The situation has obviously turned, no one can resist the pain of the poison, so naturally no one dares to challenge Yan Lu.

"Why no one answered, does anyone still want to drink as a fine?"

Yan Lu smiled lightly, and raised the brass bell in his hand as if to shake it again.

"From now on, the villain is willing to obey Duke Yan's orders, and he has no second thoughts!"

As soon as the words fell, it was the tall soldier who took the lead in the rebellion and bowed down first. His voice was louder than before, but he could only support the bamboo raft with his elbows while bowing down.

Because his hands were already bloody and bloody, the pain of cutting off his nails only followed at this moment, making his hands tremble non-stop, and he dared not touch any place.

"Willing to listen to Duke Yan!"

Seeing this person's statement, all the soldiers also hurriedly paid homage to Yan Lu.

Seeing everyone worshiping him, Yan Lu sneered again. He looked at the tall soldier and said noncommittally, "Since you obey me, you should show some sincerity. Uncle Wang took the lead in rebellion just now. According to the military law, what do you think should be done?" Is it reasonable to deal with it?"

Hearing this, the tall soldier panicked immediately, disregarding the pain in his hand, and hurriedly kowtowed his head more earnestly and begged for mercy: "Mr. Yan, forgive me, the villain was just momentarily confused, please give me a piece of paper for the villain." The way to survive, the villain will definitely remember this kindness in the future, and is willing to work for Yan Gong.”

But how did he know.

Since he was among these soldiers, he was destined to be a dead man, not to mention that Yan Lu couldn't keep this man, even if it was Wu Liang, he couldn't keep this man.
