Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 584 Quan Xian Ointment (4000)

"This……"

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not attack the tall soldier easily, after all, they were all in the same situation now.

"Ha ha."

Yan Lu sneered again, glanced at the tall soldier who was kneeling on another bamboo raft and kept begging for mercy, and said calmly, "Whoever kills this person can replace him, and he will become my confidant from now on. It has a place in Yangcheng."

Sure enough, Yan Lu would never let the leader of the chaos go, even if he was killed to scare the monkeys, he would not be kept.

And as soon as these words came out.

The soldier on the same bamboo raft as the tall soldier immediately moved.

One of the soldiers had already held the knife in his hand, and said to the tall soldier with a little apology on his face: "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, anyway, you will definitely not survive, and if I don't kill you, someone else will kill you." You, your life would be better off for me, and I will definitely take care of your family from time to time."

"Uncle Wang..."

Upon hearing this, the other soldiers also reacted, and took up their weapons one after another, fearing that they would be robbed of their credit if they were too late.

The soldiers on the other bamboo rafts were also a little ready to move, but unfortunately they were not as close to the water as these soldiers across the dark river, and could only watch helplessly as the opportunity for the salted fish to turn around fell into the hands of others.

But even so, these bamboo rafts were also approaching the bamboo raft where the tall soldier was, trying to find some opportunities.

"The second child of the Chen family!"

Seeing this situation, the tall soldier finally stopped begging Yan Lu for mercy, stood up and held his weapon in his hand and looked at the soldiers who were staring at him, "I treat you well on weekdays, if it weren't for me, you I'm afraid the whole family has starved to death long ago, and you want to fight me for this little self-interest? There are a few of you, you have followed me for a long time, have I ever treated you badly?"

"Uncle Wang, I, Chen Lao Er, remember your kindness in my heart, but now our lives have been controlled by others. I just want to live and live a better life. What's wrong with me?"

The soldier who took the initiative to defend himself said that the apology on his face was much less apologetic, and there was even a little sense of righteousness on his face.

"..."

The rest of the soldiers didn't say a word, they just continued to approach the tall soldier together.

The tall soldier was silent for a moment, and finally turned his head to look at Yan Lu who was watching coldly not far away, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Yan Lu, you have hidden evil intentions, you will die!"

Then he looked at the soldiers who were ready to move, and showed a contemptuous smile: "You are controlled by his Gu, you are not even considered human in his eyes, and you still want to live a good life in the future? Hehehe, you want to kill me, but I won’t teach you to get what you want, if you really want to take my head, then follow me if you have the guts!”

Before the soldiers understood what he meant, he had already jumped into the dark river.

At this moment, his armor hadn't faded off, and he fell into the water and sank quickly. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a swaying river.

……

Things have come to an end at this point.

Under Yan Lu's order, the remaining people continued to explore the upper reaches of the dark river with bamboo rafts.

And Wu Liang didn't order Dian Wei to seize the ship for the time being, not because he didn't have the opportunity and strength to operate, but because he wanted to stabilize Yan Lu, and first tried to figure out whether he and Dian Wei were also bewitched.

At the same time, they can continue to use Yan Lu and Zuo Ci to explore this secret realm. After all, they must know something about this secret realm that Wu Liang doesn't know.

of course.

These are not the main reasons why Wu Liang temporarily changed his plan.

The main reason is that Wu Liang has already discovered a fatal weakness of this group of people. As long as he can grasp this weakness, the crisis can be easily resolved, and there is no need to confront them head-on.

This fatal weakness is the Gu worm cast by Yan Lu.

Through what happened just now, Wu Liang can already conclude that it was the copper bell that induced the Gu worms in Zuo Ci and those soldiers to attack, and Yan Lu can only give orders to those Gu worms through the ringing of the bell, and he should not be able to act alone according to his own thoughts. Control the Gu worms in a certain person's body.

Otherwise, it shouldn't be the case that Yan Lu's bell-ringing Gu worms would attack collectively, and the bell-ringing Gu worms would go into hibernation collectively.

And when dealing with the tall soldier called "Uncle Wang", Yan Lu shouldn't make the Gu worms go dormant collectively, and then use words to induce other soldiers to do it.

If he could control the Gu worms in a person's body alone, doing so would be like taking off his pants and farting.

and so……

Wu Liang had reason to believe that as long as he could get the bell in Yan Lu's hand, he would control the fate of everyone present except Yan Lu, including Zuo Ci.

Compared with ordering Dian Wei to seize the ship, it is much safer for him and Dian Wei to venture deep into this unknown secret realm while avoiding the pursuit of Yan Lu and others, and it is also safer to use these people to extreme.

Besides.

If possible, Wu Liang actually didn't want to give up on Zuo Ci easily.

Based on his understanding of history, Wu Liang still insists that Zuo Ci is the one who unlocks the secret of this secret realm and is the closest to the opportunity in this secret realm.

This is a river he has never crossed, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to cross the river by feeling the "stone" Zuo Ci.

As for the missing Zhang Liang.

No one mentioned it anymore, and it can be heard from Yan Lu's words that at this moment Yan Lu has taken his place grandiosely, and completely regards himself as the master of the Zhang Mansion and even the entire Jinyang City.

This makes people have to wonder whether, as Zhang Liang's efforts, Yan Lu has long been dissenting, otherwise how could the power transition be so smooth, it seems that he has rehearsed it many times in his mind before.

Even Wu Liang had to be suspicious.

Since Yan Lu was able to plan so hard and put a Gu on all the soldiers present, the soldiers outside may not be spared, and even Zhang Liang, the master, may have already been tricked, but Yan Lu has other goals It's not finished yet, so it's still dormant until then.

After all, since entering the Zhang Mansion.

He also inquired about some things related to Yan Lu, but he never heard anything about Gu Art from anyone. Everyone only thought that he was just a loyal and mediocre slave.

So the Gu technique is very likely to be a secret that only Yan Lu himself knows...

When thinking about it like this.

The fleet suddenly slowed down, and the soldiers on the bamboo raft at the front loudly sent messages to the rear.

It turns out that the river channel of the dark river has become narrow and low here, so narrow that it can only allow the next bamboo raft to pass through it lengthwise, and it is also so low that everyone standing on the boat has to bend down, otherwise they will hit their heads degree.

Hear the description of the soldiers.

Wu Liang leaned out and looked forward. Sure enough, as the soldier said, the river in front had become a relatively narrow cave.

Although the water in the cave is connected to the dark river.

But it is not difficult to see that with the size of the strange beast they encountered before, there is obviously no way to pass through this cave.

That is to say, after entering the cave, there should be no fear of the strange beast coming back.

When Wu Liang and others arrived here, they had already exceeded the distance of a stick of incense, which meant that the soldiers who were sent upstream to investigate at the beginning could not have reached here at all.

As for what happened to them and that bamboo raft.

Naturally, it is not easy to say.

Wu Liang felt that he might also have encountered the strange beast that could swim around. In this way, the behavior of the strange beast seemed to be guarding this secret place, especially guarding the upper reaches of this dark river. prevent all outsiders from entering.

"Go ahead."

After hearing the soldier's report, Yan Lu waved his hand and gave a light drink.

So the fleet moved on.

Before entering the cave, everyone had already lowered their bodies and squatted on the bamboo raft, so it went smoothly.

After continuing to drive along the cave for a distance of about tens of meters.

"Wow—"

Everyone heard the sound of water again.

But this time the sound of water was not irritable, nor did it appear abruptly, but continued from light to heavy. It should be the sound of water flowing somewhere in front.

And now they are swimming against the current.

There is no need to worry about a sudden drop in front of a waterfall, at most it can only rise steeply, which is not a big threat to them.

"Master Zuo, what do you think?"

Wu Liang suddenly heard Yan Lu asking Zuo Ci again.

At this moment, six bamboo rafts were driving in this narrow cave one by one, and the ends of the bamboo rafts were almost connected together, and Zuo Ci's bamboo raft was right in front of Yan Lu, so they could already talk face to face.

"Hard to say."

Zuo Ci shook his head and said, "However, I can clearly feel that the yin here is a little lighter, which means that we may have entered the position of the formation, and perhaps we can see something you are interested in through this cave .”

The two of them were still talking vaguely.

Wu Liang didn't hear any more information related to this secret place, but Zuo Ci mentioned this, and he did feel that the feeling of coldness in this place has dropped a lot.

Looking at the soldiers who had been in the water before, they no longer shivered holding the torches.

This is enough to show that what Zuo Ci said is the truth, not just the feelings of individual people.

"Listen everyone, after passing through this cave, no matter what you see, without my order, no one should act rashly, and those who disobey the order will die!"

Yan Lu seemed to know what was inside, and immediately gave orders loudly.

"promise!"

All the soldiers responded quickly.

"It's the same for you two, even if Immortal Zuo summoned you, all your actions must obey Immortal Zuo's arrangements. If you dare to move around indiscriminately, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Yan Lu also mentioned Wu Liang and Dian Wei emphatically.

"promise."

Wu Liang also responded with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.

……

After a cup of tea, the cave finally came to an end.

Then everyone's eyes flickered, and everything in front of them suddenly became clear, even a little dazzling.

Just because the lights inside are brightly lit, compared with the darkness where they could only rely on torches for illumination before, they are simply two worlds, and their eyes couldn't adapt to the brightness for a while.

It wasn't until they had a closer look that they discovered it.

The light inside actually comes from the ubiquitous oil lamps that are hung from the dome or placed on the walls, and there is nothing special on the surface.

"Be careful, there may be someone here?!"

Seeing this situation, everyone immediately became nervous, holding their weapons in their hands and taking precautions.

It is impossible for outsiders to enter such a secret place, but this oil lamp needs someone to light it, which undoubtedly makes everyone suspicious of this secret place, worrying that they may encounter unexpected enemy attacks.

However, Yan Lu did not show any surprises, but ordered everyone very calmly: "Don't panic, let the bamboo raft land on the shore first."

"But Mr. Yan, I'm afraid it's not easy here. Isn't it a bit..."

Someone still hesitated and couldn't help persuading.

"Just do it."

Perhaps in order to reassure everyone, Yan Lu finally revealed some news to everyone at this moment, "The lamp oil used in these oil lamps is 'Quanxian ointment', which can burn for thousands of years without stopping. The oil lamp made as fuel is an eternal lamp that will never go out."

"Quanxian ointment?"

All the soldiers had obviously never heard of such a thing, and each of them showed doubts on their faces.

Wu Liang also reacted for a while before he understood what Yan Lu was talking about. This is actually a kind of ever-burning lamp called "merman lamp" mentioned in later tomb robbery novels. It is said that such an ever-burning lamp was used in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang .

And "Quanxian" is what later generations call "merman".

The name has also undergone historical evolution.

In the ancient books of the pre-Qin period, such as "Shan Hai Jing", the title "Quan Xian" is used.

Later, in the ancient books after the Jin Dynasty, the more popular expressions such as "Quanke" and "Yerren" began to appear.

Therefore, it is not a problem for Yan Lu to refer to "merman" as "Quanxian" now, but for ordinary people, this kind of expression is a bit of a mouthful and unfamiliar.

"Then isn't this oil lamp a rare treasure?"

A soldier reacted first, and then shouted in surprise.

"Don't listen to my words. Without my order, no one can easily touch every plant or tree here, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Yan Lu warned again in a deep voice, and when no one spoke, he ordered again, "Dock."

"promise."

The soldiers hastened to do so.

But Wu Liang has already begun to observe the source of this dark river.

At that time, there was a stone platform facing the underground river. The stone platform was obviously built artificially. In addition to using square bricks to accumulate, the three water outlets were also carved into the shape of dragon heads.

Although these three faucets do not look exquisite, they give people a very majestic feeling.

The sound of water they heard in the cave just now came from these three water outlets.

Besides.

On the square platform above the water outlet, there is also a big drum the size of a millstone placed upright.
