Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 604 You were the one who joked first (4000)

Then Zuo Ci added with a smile: "The reason why Zhang Liang and Yan Lu believe that there is a secret method of 'immortality' hidden here is because words with similar meanings appeared in the oracle bone documents, and laymen like them don't understand it. The words are misunderstood, and therefore so misunderstood."

Zuo Ci's smile was enough to prove that Wu Liang had hit the bluff.

But there was something hidden in this secret place, but he didn't say it clearly.

Wu Liang really wanted to ask.

But at this point, he felt that it was best not to continue asking, otherwise the persona he had finally erected in front of Zuo Ci would collapse.

In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this issue.

Now that he has controlled the situation, he must personally enter that stone room to check. Even if Zuo Ci said an answer now, he might not be able to believe it without reservation, he would still only trust his own eyes.

When thinking about it like this.

"However, Mr. Wu has controlled Zhang Liang now, so naturally he has seized his chance. If Mr. Wu just wants to get out of his body, the problem should not be too big. But what Mr. Wu means now seems to be that he still intends to take risks. Go to that stone room to check, so can I understand that Mr. Wu is still somewhat interested in the things hidden in this secret place?"

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Ci asked again with empty eyes.

"Rather than being interested, it might be better to say that I am curious."

Wu Liang nodded generously, and said with a smile, "If I didn't meet him, I wouldn't say anything about it. Not only did I meet this matter, but I was also involved in this place. If I don't go in and see for myself, wouldn't I Wasting these days of effort in vain? And... Immortal Master Zuo may have misunderstood, I only said that I am not interested in the secret method of immortality, but never said that I am not interested in this secret realm."

"What does Mr. Wu mean?"

Zuo Ci showed doubts on his face.

"To tell the truth to Master Zuo, I actually have my own pursuit and ambition. I have always regarded Sima Zichang (Sima Qian) as a role model in life."

Wu Liang suddenly said something that sounded irrelevant to the current topic.

Zuo Ci was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then asked with a very clear brain circuit: "Mr. Wu...does it mean that you want to be an eunuch?"

"???"

Wu Liang almost staggered and fell to the ground.

Although it is true that Sima Qian was corrupted and became an eunuch during his lifetime, when anyone hears that someone regards Sima Qian as an idol, the first reaction should definitely not be to want to be an eunuch, right?

What's more, Sima Qian's experience and achievements are well known to the world, even those illiterate Eastern Han people can tell some allusions. Zuo Ci can tell that Sima Qian was a eunuch, so naturally it is impossible to know nothing about Sima Qian's experience and achievements.

"Hey hey, Mr. Wu forgive me."

Seeing Wu Liang's expression at this moment, Zuo Ci seemed to be very happy, and saluted without sincerity with a smile on his face, "I just suddenly felt that it was more interesting to say that, so I blurted it out, just for Bo Jun's sake, Mr. Wu Don't take it to heart."

"..."

cold joke?
Wu Liang was really angry and funny.

He had lived in Zhang's mansion for so long before, and although the two sides basically had no verbal communication, he could often see Zuo Ci basking in the sun in the courtyard, plus his understanding of Zuo Ci's life in historical materials, he had always felt that this He is a mature, stable, unsmiling, and unpredictable expert.

In the end, he didn't expect that Zuo Ci would tell him such a non-advanced joke before he got to know each other very well, it was really beyond his expectation...

"Uh...does Mr. Wu feel bored?"

Seeing that Wu Liang didn't laugh with him, Zuo Ci finally sensed a bit of embarrassment, so he cleared his throat and put on a serious look before, and said, "Ahem, I can probably understand Mr. Wu's meaning. The young master should want to tell me that your ambition is to become a historian like Sima Zizhang who 'studies the relationship between heaven and man, understands the changes of the past and the present, and becomes a family story', isn't that right?"

"What's wrong with being a eunuch?"

But Wu Liang asked sternly, "Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword, and if there is no such drag, I will no longer have any desires or desires, and I will have nothing else to do from now on!"

"???"

This time, Zuo Ci's face was changed to be dazed, and the expression on his face was even more embarrassing, he responded with a dry smile, "What Mr. Wu said is not unreasonable, but I am superficial..."

"However, if I can master the legendary 'art in the room', I can still be good at it. Then it will no longer be a drag, but it will be of endless benefit to me."

Wu Liang then asked, "Does Immortal Master Zuo know what 'The Art of the Room' is?"

Wu Liang is indeed a talent, and he was able to calmly bring the topic back to the things he was most interested in during this trip.

Influenced by Cao Zhi's "Debating the Way", from the first time he saw Zuo Ci, the words "the art of the house" kept appearing in his mind, and this is what he is bound to get in this trip Target.

Whether it is the current Zuo Ci who has already mastered the "art of the house", or the "art of the house" is still hidden in this secret place.

He will never miss it easily.

"This... I have heard a little bit about it. This is indeed a rare witchcraft. Mr. Wu's foresight and insight are admirable."

Zuo Ci laughed even more awkwardly, there was already a tendency to not know how to answer the conversation.

From Zuo Ci's current performance, Wu Liang also came to a conclusion.

There is a high probability that the current Zuo Ci has not mastered the "art of the house", and there may not be a "art of the house" in this secret realm, at least Zuo Ci, who already has some knowledge of this secret realm, certainly does not know.

"Pfft hahaha..."

Wu Liang laughed suddenly, "Master Zuo, don't be cautious, in fact, I was joking with you too, but you were the one who joked first, so I can't blame you for that."

"..."

Zuo Ci's expression suddenly became complicated again, looking at the laughing Wu Liang with a strange expression, like a mental patient looking at another mental patient who is more sick than himself.

For the first time in my life.

He somewhat dislikes his former self. It’s really annoying for people who like to say bad jokes. Probably when people heard me tell bad jokes in the past, they just feel bored and boring like I hear this Mr. Wu making cold jokes now. And because of the sympathy, I have to laugh with you, right?

at the same time.

"This……"

Zhang Liang, who was lying on the side, was also full of question marks.

More resentment arose in his heart, if he were to be brought into this position by a talented person with superior resourcefulness and strength, he would accept his fate.

But how it looks now, Wu Liang has nothing to do with such a capable person.

"Stop joking, let's get down to business."

Wu Liang also felt that it was enough to make jokes so far, and he had already learned about the "Skills in the House" by insinuating, so he finally straightened his posture and said: "Master Zuo is right, my ambition is exactly Becoming a historian like Sima Zichang, and I have traveled around in the first half of my life. In addition to making a living, I also imitated Sima Zichang's visits to rivers and mountains to collect old news and collect old news. Therefore, for me, What I'm really interested in is not the treasures and secrets, but the story of this secret realm itself. The reason why I decided to continue to venture into that stone room to investigate is also to find out the truth behind this secret realm and to verify that I was born in Yan Lu. The veracity of the past that I heard in my mouth."

"Young Master Wu has lofty ambitions, which I admire."

After hearing Wu Liang's words, Zuo Ci's expression also turned serious, and he bowed his hands in a salute.

But judging by his appearance, it seems that he doesn't fully believe in Wu Liang. After all, this ambition is a bit lofty, and the ambition is effective and even a bit nihilistic.

"Therefore, I have one more request to Immortal Master Zuo."

Wu Liang said again.

"Mr. Wu actually needs me for something?"

Zuo Ci looked at Wu Liang, as if he didn't believe his "big ambition" any more.

of course.

This is because Zuo Ci doesn't know Wu Liang well.

If he knows Wu Liang well enough...it will be even more difficult to believe that Wu Liang has such "great ambitions", because Wu Liang is sometimes wretched and shameless, no matter how you look at it, he is not worthy of such "great ambitions".

Wu Liang didn't explain too much, but just cupped his hands and said, "It's possible to find some oracle bone documents later, but unfortunately I don't know much about these oracle bone documents, and Master Zuo seems to have done some research on them, so I must trouble Master Zuo to interpret the meaning for me."

Zuo Ci was a little surprised when he heard the words, but he finally nodded and said: "It's a little effort, I'll do my best."

"Thank you."

Wu Liang bowed his hand again.

Then he glanced at the "Ox Horn Talisman" in his hand, and then at Zhang Liang who was not far away.

At this moment, the pain on Zhang Liang's face was slightly less. It should be that the injury in his arm had begun to go numb. At the same time, there was an expression of "inexplicable" on his face. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with Wu Liang's "big ambition". Not only do I not believe it, but also some dismissiveness.

So ponder for a moment.

"Show yourself, little fox."

Wu Liang didn't decide to go immediately, but shouted at the empty secret place.

"?"

Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang showed surprise again.

They all knew that a little fox broke into the secret realm before, but they always thought that the little fox was just a wild fox that had been wandering in by mistake, so they didn't take it to heart at all, but they didn't expect that the little fox was also related to Wu Liang.

next moment.

A little thing only one foot long jumped out of a depression not far away. The tail of the little thing had been broken. It was the little fox that broke into the secret realm before.

"Ow!"

Make two distinctive calls.

The little fox quickly ran towards Wu Liang, and then easily jumped onto Wu Liang's outstretched arm with a vertical leap, and climbed along his arm until he climbed onto his shoulder before squatting down gracefully.

"Dian Wei, bring that copper bell."

Wu Liang stroked the little fox's head, but said to Dian Wei.

"promise."

Dian Wei didn't have anything to say, he stepped forward and presented the corked copper bell.

This action frightened Zhang Liang, who was on the side, and said to Wu Liang quickly: "Mr. Wu has something to say, I am a useless person now, it is difficult to threaten Mr. Wu again, and Mr. Wu is leaving my life at this moment. Afterwards, when we leave the secret realm and leave the Zhang Mansion, it may still come in handy."

"Ha ha."

Wu Liang smiled noncommittally, but stuffed the brass bell into the little fox's mouth, then patted the little fox's head and said meaningfully, "You take this brass bell, and if I meet Dian Wei again later If you strayed into the illusion, you would take out the cloth stuffed in the copper bell and ring the copper bell four times, and then someone will pay the price."

"..."

Zhang Liang suddenly lost his voice.

"Mr. Wu's thoughts are really finer than the sharpness of a pinhole. Zuo admires it."

Zuo Ci praised him sincerely this time.

He has fully grasped Wu Liang's thoughts.

If the "Ox Horn Talisman Festival" that Zhang Liang handed over was the object to deal with this "psychedelic formation", then naturally everything would be fine.

But if Zhang Liang played some tricks, Wu Liang, Dian Wei, and Zuo Ci would stray into the illusion again, and Zhang Liang could stay out of it. At that time, Zhang Liang would turn into an "invisible force" again, You can do whatever you want to them, and they will undoubtedly become fish on the chopping board again.

And this little fox is obviously not affected by the "psychedelic formation".

Handing this copper bell to this little fox is equivalent to putting a knife on Zhang Liang's neck. Even if Wu Liang and others stray into the illusion again, it can be guaranteed that there will be no more "invisible forces" that can do whatever they want. "In this way, Zhang Liang's life can be saved temporarily for emergencies, and it also adds an additional insurance for subsequent actions.

"Ow!"

The little fox nodded heavily like a human being.

Such psychic communication also opened Zuo Ci and Zhang Liang's horizons. This is no ordinary psychic communication. Normal cats and dogs would never understand such complicated instructions, but this little fox clearly understood.

They suspected that this little fox might have become a spirit!

And Wu Liang, as its master, is even more unpredictable, making people unaware of its depth...

……

After making all the preparations, Wu Liang finally ordered to go deep.

Zhang Liang didn't need anyone to care about him. He only had his arms broken, but his legs were still intact. Except for the swaying of his body when walking, which would cause his arms to feel the stinging pain of the wound, it didn't affect his movement much.

However, what Wu Liang went to first was not the stone room in the center of the secret realm.

It was the stone platform where a soldier jumped off to commit suicide before.

There is no other reason.

Although there is a "psychedelic formation" to explain the strange behavior of those soldiers, Wu Liang still feels that there is something strange about this matter.

Also.

According to Yan Lu, the four corpses kneeling on the four stone platforms are the corpses of "Siyue", and Wu Liang felt that it was necessary to verify the identities of some of these corpses. If they were "Siyue", they should have Some identification items would be right.

After all, Danzhu placed their "dead bodies" here, which already had some elements of "punishment" and "show off", so they should not be deprived of items that symbolize their identities.

Also, a soldier who committed suicide had previously reported that the corpse was also "solid flesh."

If it is "solid meat", Wu Liang will still have the opportunity to experience some of the voices and smiles of the "Four Sacred Mountains" in person, which is also a rare opportunity.
