Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 719 The Living Dead (4000)

"What kind of evil method?"

Wu Liang regained his energy immediately and asked questions.

"When I was very young, I heard old people in Qu County say that the monumentless tombs on Yuzhou Mountain are all righteous men who died in vain. Let the master return."

Jin Yu pondered and said, "They also said that many years ago, someone saw with their own eyes the decomposed corpses of those disciples crawling out of the graves and walking on Yuzhou Mountain like living people. The mansion, those disciples who have come back from the dead will regard it as an enemy and will never stop dying."

"The living dead?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly.

This story is a bit rough, without any details that can be delved into, and it is nothing new for Wu Liang, who has watched too many zombies and zombie movies.

However, for the aborigines who believed in ghosts and gods during the Eastern Han Dynasty, this may be regarded as a rather novel and weird story, which can at least scare a considerable number of people.

As for whether this is true or not...

"Has any of you ever seen such a thing with your own eyes?"

Wu Liang continued to ask.

"We've never seen it with our own eyes."

Jin Yu shook his head and said, "However, some of the monumentless tombs on the mountain have been broken open. Even after hundreds of years, it can still be seen that the pits left behind were some graves... an old man from Qu County It was also said that the people of Qu County helped collect the corpses of those diners back then, and the people of Qu County built their monumentless tombs.

"Then what about Tian Heng's mansion, have any of you ever entered it, or have some of you been killed by those revived retainers because of this?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"This……"

Jin Yu showed hesitation.

At this moment, Jin Wei, who had been standing silently by the side, took the initiative to take over the conversation, and said seriously: "When I first came to the island, I took people into that mansion, and the mansion was built with thick stone bricks. Hundreds of years have passed, and most of the houses are still quite well preserved. As for the legendary doormen who my father mentioned just now, I have not seen them. Nothing special was found."

"You actually sneaked into that mansion, you don't want to die!"

Jin Yu immediately stared at his son with old eyes, and said angrily, "I warned you not to plan on that mansion, have you forgotten what happened to the Lu family in the east of the city?"

"Father, that was just a helpless move."

Jin Wei quickly explained, "It's not like you don't know, we had just landed on the island at that time, and there was no shelter on the island, and there was a strong wind and heavy rain at night, and our boat couldn't cross the sea in the storm. In the county, if you don't find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible, everyone may not survive the night... I knew you would be reprimanded for this matter, so I didn't mention it to you. Besides, there is no you in the mansion I heard it was so scary. At the beginning, more than [-] of us went in together and slept overnight with a fire inside. Now, each of the [-] or so people is living well, and there is not even a single person who is sick. What happened to Donglu's family might just be an accident."

"It's because you are young and energetic, and the ghosts of those disciples can't hurt you for a while!"

Jin Yu was still very dissatisfied with the fact that Jin Wei had entered that mansion, and reprimanded in a bad manner.

"What Dad said is true, so except for that time when I was forced to do nothing, I have never brought anyone to that mansion since then, and I usually pass by the side to teach everyone to stay away."

Jin Wei knew Jin Yu's temperament very well, and immediately showed a simple and honest smile, and said along Jin Yu's meaning.

"As long as you know!"

Jin Yu glared at him again, and sure enough he didn't pursue it further.

Wu Liang took advantage of the situation and asked: "Uncle Jin, can you tell me about the Lu family in the east of the city that you mentioned just now?"

"Wu Taishi is being polite, why not?"

Looking at Wu Liang again, Jin Yu also had a smile on his face, and said respectfully, "I was still young at that time, the Lu family in the east of the city and my family used to be fishermen who went out to sea, and the sky was gloomy every day. Soon there will be a heavy rain, so the fishermen in Qu County dragged their boats ashore early. Unfortunately, the three brothers of the Lu family have already gone out to sea, and they never returned when the storm came down. This left the women of the Lu family at home. People were so anxious that at night, they knocked on doors and begged us to help find people."

"But that day and night, the storm was terrible, no one dared to go out to sea easily, so we had to go to the seaside with Mrs. Lu's family to meet them, and wait for the storm to be lighter before making a decision."

"Unexpectedly, the torrential rain lasted all night, and it didn't finally get smaller until the sun came out the next day. At this time, the lady of the Lu family begged us again. We are usually neighbors who help each other, so we went together Collect more than a dozen boats and go to sea to search together."

"Actually, before going to sea, everyone already had ominous guesses. The storm last night was by no means something that our small fishing boat could withstand. The hope of the three Lu brothers surviving is very slim."

"In the end, we found Lu's fishing boat on Yuzhou Mountain."

"The fishing boat was properly tied to the rocks by the beach, which means that the three brothers of the Lu family should have gone ashore before the storm officially came, and they still had time to pack up the fishing boat. If so, they should take shelter on Yuzhou Mountain at this moment. Rain, then this matter is probably a false alarm."

"As a result, everyone searched around the mountain, but they didn't find the whereabouts of the three of them."

"In the end, there is only one place left that I haven't found yet, and that is the Tian Heng mansion that is said to be guarded by the disciples who came back from the dead."

"I was also a young man at the time, and without saying a word, I followed the fisherman who was with me into the forbidden area, walked through the monumentless tomb into the overgrown courtyard, and immediately felt a chill from the sky, and couldn't help it. Played smart."

"Although it was still raining lightly at that time, our place is usually not very cold, and the chill in that mansion is extremely unusual, so I immediately thought of the legend about this mansion, and my heart suddenly became agitated."

"Looking at the rest of the group, they continued to walk as if nothing had happened. They didn't seem to feel the chill at all. When I asked them, they laughed at me for being timid and timid, saying that if I was afraid, I would go back first. , they go in and look for it by themselves, and they have to explain to the Lu family's wives what happened to the folks in the village."

"Speaking like this, I naturally can't go back, so I have to bite the bullet and keep up."

"Fortunately, nothing strange happened during this period. In the end, we found the traces of the three brothers of the Lu family in a side room of the mansion. Unfortunately, when we saw them..."

Speaking of this, Jin Yu's face showed obvious fear, and he took a breath, then lowered his voice as if avoiding something, "The bodies of the Lu family's boss and the Lu family's second child are already completely cold, the boss Lying upright on the ground, you can see the imprint of five fingers strangling desperately on the neck, the second child's head is bleeding, and the blood that flowed out has accumulated in a big puddle, only the third child shrinks in the corner of the wall and keeps shaking, He seemed to be terribly frightened."

"It took us a while to recover, and asked the third child what happened, but the third child seemed to not know us, and kept shrinking into the corner of the wall. When we got closer, he yelled in fright. , refused to say anything."

"We had no idea, so we had to carry the bodies of the eldest and second child first, then forcibly tied up the third child, dragged him down from the mountain, brought him back, and handed him over to Mrs. Lu."

"Later, there was no explanation for this matter. I only know that after the third son came back, he became crazy. He just locked himself in the room and shivered all day long, kept shouting cold, and kept saying that there was a ghost. Everyone said yes It was their three brothers who rashly entered Tian Heng's mansion, the eldest and the second were killed by the ghosts of Tian Heng's disciples, and although the third got his life by chance, he was also bewitched by evil spirits and became like this."

"Half a month later, the third son of the Lu family was found hanged in a forest outside the city..."

"None of the three male members of the Lu family stayed behind, and this matter has proved that Tian Heng's mansion is a haunted house. Since then, no one in Qu County has dared to go to Tian Heng's mansion lightly."

Hearing this, Wu Liangcai finally understood the reason why Jin Yu was so angry when he heard that Jin Wei had been to Tian Heng's mansion. He was afraid that his son would repeat the same mistakes as the Lu family's three brothers.

but……

Wu Liang thought about this matter carefully, and found many unexplainable doubts.

When he heard half of it just now, he guessed that this might be an ordinary murder case. The third child of the Lu family who survived was naturally the biggest suspect. Humans can do it.

But later I heard that after the third child came back, he shouted that he was cold and that there was a ghost, and he also hanged himself not long after.

Wu Liang was shaken again.

This shows that the third child did not exonerate himself by pretending to be crazy, and a person who wants to exonerate himself would not hang himself...

He probably saw something and experienced something unbearable for ordinary people, so he was extremely stimulated to become like this.

But what can you see in a mansion that has long been deserted?

Could it be that there really are the "living dead" that Jin Yu mentioned before?
Wu Liang was suspicious.

Jin Yu also said just now that the "living dead" happened a long time ago. Although Jin Yu couldn't tell the exact time, it was definitely a rumor left by his parents and grandparents.

Before the rumors were verified by himself, Wu Liang naturally would not believe them easily.

and.

This group of "yellow turban thieves" have been going up the mountain for several years. Although they basically would not enter or approach the mansion left by Tian Heng, they are all on the same small island. , why have they never seen the "living dead"?
Not only that.

Jin Yu's son, Jin Wei, even brought people into that mansion and spent the night there. They didn't encounter any strange things, and no one was bewitched by evil spirits. Now they are still alive and well, which is also a problem.

Can the "living dead" disappear out of thin air?
Can the innocent souls in Tian Heng's mansion also disappear out of thin air?
"Uncle Jin, Brother Jin, please wait a moment."

After pondering for a moment, Wu Liang said this to the father and son, and then called the backbone of the Huan army aside, and said to them solemnly: "Everyone, I want to go to the sea to climb Yuzhou Mountain, and go to the Tianheng mansion to check. Explore."

Now nothing has been found of Xu Fu's former residence in Qu County, and there are no clues worth investigating in the local rumors about Xu Fu.

Wu Liang had to change his mind and start with Tian Heng, who was related to Xu Fu. Although it might not be possible to find out anything, if he could find out the truth about this murderous house, it would be a harvest for Wu Liang. After all, Yuzhou Mountain has been connected to the mainland in later generations, and it has been renamed Yuntai Mountain, and the "Tian Heng Mansion" built in the late Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty has long since disappeared on the mountain.

"It's all up to the young master to decide."

Dian Wei immediately expressed his position expressionlessly.

"Just go, anyway, wherever you go, my concubine and sister Bai will follow."

Zhen Mi smiled indifferently, put her hand on Bai Jingjing's arm, and automatically included her.

"I came to the Central Plains with General Wu to increase my knowledge. The rarer the place, the more interested I am. Naturally, there is no reason not to go."

Prince Chamu also said.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang and Yu Ji were staying in the government office to check the local rumors written on the wall.

"The young master ordered it."

Yang Wanli expressed his attitude, but squeezed his voice and said deliberately instead of Yu Ji, "But if Yu Ji was here, he would definitely take two steps back first, and said with a bitter old face: 'If that place is really so evil, the old man thinks it's still not good. It's better to go, the purpose of my son's trip is to find Xu Fu's whereabouts, there is no need to go to this muddy water, so as not to cause trouble."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Yang Wanli and Yu Ji are a pair of life treasure enemies, when they are together they have to argue, and when they are not together they still have to make arrangements for each other.

If Wu Liang remembers correctly, Yang Wanli and Yu Ji became the origin of this relationship. It seems that Yang Wanli performed mouth-to-mouth CPR on Yu Ji when he went to Yuzhang County. Before that, the two had been inseparable. relationship with the river.

I don't know how the mentality of the two of them changed after the cardiopulmonary resuscitation...

But this is not the time to pay attention to it.

After Wu Liang laughed, he turned his head to look at the silent maiden, Hu, and suddenly asked, "Miss Hu, is it possible for those disciples who committed suicide to become the earth-bound spirits after death?"

"..."

The witch was taken aback for a moment, then responded, "Everything can become an earth-bound spirit, and the stronger the belief, the easier it is to become an earth-bound spirit."

"If Tian Heng's mansion really has an earth-bound spirit, it will be handed over to Miss Hu."

Wu Liang smiled.

Leaving aside other things for the time being, what he cares about is the chill in Tian Heng's mansion which is completely different from the surrounding environment mentioned by both Jin Yu and Jin Wei. This chill must have a source, and it cannot be produced out of thin air.
