Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 60 Fierce Curse
Hearing the cry, Wu Liang had no choice but to temporarily abandon the strange traces he found, and went to Yang Wanli's place to check first.

"Lieutenant and Sima, please take a look. After the villain dug up the tomb-suppressing beast with deer ears and antlers, it was placed behind this huge rock, and it was covered with these branches before leaving!"

Yang Wanli pointed to a pile of dry branches and said.

The leaves on these branches have all dried up, but there is still a tinge of green in between. Besides, the broken parts of the branches look relatively fresh, and they were indeed broken or cut down recently.

But at this moment, apart from these branches behind the boulder, where is there any trace of the tomb-slayer beast?
"And here."

Yang Wanli turned around and came to an open space not far away, and said nervously, "There have been several tomb-suppressing beasts here before, and the villain can see them clearly, but now all these tomb-suppressing beasts have disappeared. Captain and Sima, please come and have a look, there are still some traces of excavation on the ground, the villain is not lying!"

Cao Ting checked the past carefully, nodded at Wu Liang and said, "There are indeed traces of excavation here, and although it has been filled and compacted afterwards, the soil quality is still somewhat different compared with other places. "

These traces are all obvious, Wu Liang naturally wouldn't waste his tongue on this, so after a moment of pondering, he asked, "Yang Wanli, when you followed Lu Bu to rob the tomb, would you steal these stone tomb-suppressing beasts?"

"Of course not. This kind of stone statue is worthless. We always only take the gold treasures in the tomb when we rob the tomb. Besides, we won't waste manpower to refill the pothole after the tomb is finished. This is the same as taking off your pants and farting." What's the difference?"

Yang Wanli replied with a wrinkled face.

But before he finished speaking, Cao Ting slapped him on the head, and said with a guilty look on his face, "Just say what I ask you, why are there so many irrelevant nonsense?"

After scolding, he still didn't forget to look at Wu Liang with pity.

After their soldiers had stolen the tomb, they had to refill it. This was the case with the tomb of King Liang Xiao last time, and it was filled like that.

Wu Liang automatically ignored that sentence, and continued to analyze intently: "In this way, it should not be Lu Bu who rushed ahead of us, nor would it be the two missing companions of Yang Wanli before. There is absolutely no need for Cai to do such a thing, that is to say, other people may have come to this valley, and the purpose may not be tomb robbery..."

Hearing this, Cao Ting and Yang Wanli immediately became nervous, looked around quickly and said, "Your talented and virtuous brother (Sima), who do you think it is?"

"It's hard to say yet."

Wu Liang didn't make any inferences hastily, but looked at Yang Wanli and asked, "Where did you dig out that tomb-suppressing beast?"

"This……"

Yang Wanli didn't quite understand what Wu Liang's question meant, but he still went to the places where there were excavation marks and recalled it carefully, and finally pointed to the ground on the far side and said, "It should be this place, little one." People remember that the tomb-slayer beast is on the far side, and the most exposed part."

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded, turned around and said to Cao Ting, "Brother Anmin, now you can order our people to cut some wooden poles of appropriate thickness and install the Luoyang shovel and engineering shovel that you carry with you. Tools can also be used as weapons, and if we encounter a small group of enemies, we will not be powerless."

"good!"

Cao Ting immediately ordered to go.

Wu Liang took Yang Wanli back to the front of the stele, pointed to the small dark brown dry mark and asked, "Yang Wanli, did you see this mark when you came last time?"

"This……"

Yang Wanli knelt down and looked carefully, then shook his head and said, "It was evening when the villain came last time, and it was already Haishi when the tomb-suppressing beast was dug out, so he didn't pay attention to this detail... Sima really has a delicate mind." The man, the villain admires it!"

"In the future, you don't need to come with me in such a false way. As long as you do things for me sincerely, I will reward you for your merits and will never treat you badly."

Wu Liang cursed with a smile, then took out the copper dagger from his waist, inserted it into the small piece of dark brown dry mark, dug out a small piece of soil, then crushed the piece of soil, stretched out his hand to twist a little and put it Sniff lightly under the nose.

Bloody smell!

Some stinking bloody smell penetrated into the nostrils, making Wu Liang cough twice.

But why is there blood here?

Do you fight?
This possibility can basically be ruled out. If it is a fight, there will definitely be traces of the fight nearby.

And if someone is injured, it is definitely impossible to leave such a small piece of blood, let alone emit such a pungent smell. This blood has obviously been stored for a while, and on this dry land, the blood is very It will seep into the soil soon, and there is no time to stink.

Then there is only another possibility: someone deliberately poured the blood belt that had been stored for a period of time here.

As for what the purpose is...

Wu Liang looked up at the wordless stele one meter away. The place where the blood was poured was right in front of the wordless stone stele, so it looked like a worship and offering ceremony.

However, as far as Wu Liang knows, the ancients usually sacrificed with blood, and usually the objects of the sacrifices were gods, such as the god of land, the god of grains, or even ghosts such as Jiaolong Daxian and He Bo, in order to obtain blessings bless.

But when it comes to offering sacrifices to the dead, blood is rarely mentioned.

"What the hell?"

Seeing Wu Liang's strange expression, Yang Wanli was very curious in his heart, imitating Wu Liang's example, he picked up some soil and smelled it.

It doesn't matter what he heard, Yang Wanli immediately opened his eyes wide, and said with a look of panic on his face: "Sima, it seems to be blood. The blood is poured here. Could it be used for worship?"

"Then what happened?"

Wu Liang looked at him with some puzzlement.

"Don't Sima know that blood can only be used to worship ghosts and gods. If it is used to worship the dead, it will become a very vicious curse, which can make the dead trapped here and cannot die, so unless you treat someone with deep hatred Enemies, no one would do that."

Yang Wanli persuaded solemnly, "Sima, pardon the villain, I'm afraid we will really have to come here for nothing this time. If this place is the residence of ghosts and gods, we may not be able to offend you. If this place is a mausoleum, then the tomb The master was trapped here by a curse and could not pass away. I don’t know what kind of horrible thing it has turned into. I’m afraid we can’t afford to be more guilty, so don’t rush in!”

"Hey! Let me tell you, where did you hear those words?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly after hearing this.

Longevity, someone is pretending to be a ghost in front of the king!
