Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 751 Strange Fish (4000)

Wu Liang wasn't sure what Miko Hu was planning.

Witch Hu didn't know what Wu Liang was thinking.

In this way, the two had their own ghosts, and continued to explore the rest of the cave.

As for the seven scrolls of bamboo slips left by Xu Fu and the clothes in the box, Wu Liang did not intend to take them away. After all, it is difficult to keep clothes for future generations, and once the seven scrolls of bamboo slips were soaked in seawater when they returned, Most of the ink marks on it will also be severely damaged. The best way is to keep the above content in mind and record it after going out.

After such a search.

The two and one monkey had no other important discoveries, but this was also expected by Wu Liang, because of the existence of "Yangshenzhi", everything here has formed a cycle that can "destroy corpses and wipe out traces":

People who have eaten black soil will turn into rocks after death, and will soon shatter into broken stones that are hard to see the original appearance;
Those who have never eaten the black soil will definitely be resurrected by some animals on the island using "Yangshenzhi", and will eventually turn into the black soil that makes them flock to it, without even a scum left.

As for Xu Fu's corpse.

Of course, there is no need to look for it anymore, maybe some of the gravels that he stepped on just now are part of his body, and it is impossible to distinguish them.

"Now we are going to the reefs in the north of the island to confirm some things recorded in the bamboo slips. On the way, I will relay some of the important contents to you."

Wu Liang didn't miss it either, and nodded to Miko Hu, and walked in front.

"it is good."

Witch Hu also didn't express any opinion, and followed Wu Liang step by step.

In this way, the two soon came to the place where the witch called "squatting in the pit" before, because Wu Liang called her before, and later saw her emerging from behind the rock, so it was not difficult to determine the exact location.

It turned out to be just around the corner.

"Wu Taishi..."

But the maiden stopped him, a blush appeared on her face, she seemed extremely embarrassed but hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter, girl?"

Wu Liang asked intentionally.

"No, nothing."

Witch Hoo didn't even dare to look into Wu Liang's eyes, she lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes coyly, "Just can I ask Wu Taishi to bypass this place, I just left some filthy things here for convenience, Afraid of dirtying Wu Taishi's eyes..."

"I see."

Wu Liang laughed, thinking to himself, "Could it be that the witch Hu has not deserted?" But he waved his hand indifferently, and said solemnly, "The reincarnation of the five grains is the way of heaven, and how can the reincarnation of the heaven be filthy things, Miss Hu Don't take it to heart, and I won't care about these details, it's fine."

"Wu Taishi doesn't care, but I can't help myself. Please understand Wu Taishi."

The witch insisted, and raised her hand as a gesture of please, pointing out another way for Wu Liang.

"Miss Hu, we are running out of time, how can we take a long way if there is a shortcut?"

The more Witch Hu tried to stop, the more suspicious Wu Liang became. After saying this, he ignored Witch Hu and walked forward quickly.

Then there was a bad smell wafting into the nostrils.

Wu Liang frowned slightly, looked sideways at the rock, and actually saw a small lump of extremely fresh excrement, and this excrement seemed to have very little water, and it was dry like a product of constipation.

This……

Wu Liang felt overwhelmed, could it be that I was overthinking it?

Miko Hu is really just here for convenience, just staying for a longer time because of constipation?
But this still can't explain Miko Hu's attitude towards "Yu Shen Zhi Tong Yao". No matter what the reason is, she has no reason not to regard Xu Fu's handwritten bamboo slips as a treasure, and even a little bit of care?

at the same time.

The witch Hu has already rushed up quickly, standing between Wu Liang and the poop, and urged Wu Liang with a blushing face: "Wu Taishi, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly."

"Exactly, let's go."

On the contrary, Wu Liang was a little embarrassed this time, he gave a dry laugh and led the witch Hu to walk out of the cave.

……

Standing on the top of Yushan Mountain, the reef group on the north side of the island does not seem to be very big, but when you get closer, you will find that the scale of this reef group is really not small.

Wu Liang visually estimated that the reef group covers an area of ​​about one square kilometer, which is almost as large as Yushan.

The only difference is that Yushan is a cone-shaped mountain, while the rocks in this reef group have many stone pillars similar to those on the Gobi Desert. The huge mushroom, which is more than ten meters high, looks like a maze of irregular rock walls.

On the way here, Wu Liang had briefly talked about some of the important content in "The Essentials of Yangshenzhi" with the witch Hu. Naturally, the witch Hu had some understanding of Wu Liang's purpose for coming here, and she was already looking around to help when she arrived here. Look for the remains of giant beasts recorded in "Yang Shen Zhi Tong Yao".

But the reaction of the old macaque king was a bit abnormal.

It seems to know what is in this reef group, and it is also a little afraid of the things inside. When it reaches the edge, it pulls the hemp rope around its neck and refuses to enter.

Besides.

Ever since it came out of the cave, it seemed to have some fear of the witch, and it always avoided her deliberately when walking on the road just now, trying to walk on Wu Liang's side as much as possible.

Wu Liang kept these details in his heart, especially its reaction to this reef group, which made Wu Liang think that there might be some unknown dangers in this place, but the matter has come to this point, no matter what he did before leaving Zuzhou It is necessary to enter the reef group to check it out, otherwise this will be the biggest regret of this trip, and you will not be able to sleep in the future, and the next time you come to this place, I am afraid it will be more than ten years later, and things may have changed by then.

In the end, Wu Liang beat the old macaque king quite humanely, and then forcibly dragged him in...

Not for anything else, just want to use the old macaque king to give myself a warning. After all, some senses of animals are actually stronger than humans, not to mention that it was once the king of this place. Although it can't speak or write, There are definitely more things to know, and you must be able to respond in advance before the danger comes.

In this way, it was not long before entering the reef group.

"Wu Taishi, what do you think this is?"

The witch Hu who was behind him suddenly stopped him, Wu Liang turned around and saw that the witch Hu had some small gravels in her hand at some point, and she had pieced them together.

"fish?"

Wu Liang was slightly stunned, and moved closer to observe carefully.

This is indeed a fish, but it is not big in size, and it probably only looks like a stick. Although the fin part no longer exists, other features of this fish can still be clearly seen.

Its head is relatively blunt, its body is slender oval, its head is slightly larger and its tail is slightly smaller, its mouth is relatively large, and its upper jaw is slightly longer than its lower jaw. This is...

Wu Liang also didn't have much research on fish, so he couldn't distinguish the specific species of this stone fish through these characteristics.

But looking at this fish from the perspective of a foodie, Wu Liang thinks it is very similar to the small yellow croaker that later generations often eat.

Moreover, the small yellow croaker was originally produced in the coastal areas of the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea in China, and Zuzhou is located on the coast of the East China Sea, which is completely correct.

So just treat it as a small yellow croaker.

At this moment, the little yellow croaker had been broken into six small stones. If it was thrown separately on the ground, Wu Liang would only treat it as a few inconspicuous small stones, and could not piece together such a complete fish.

So Wu Liang looked at the witch with doubts and said, "Miss Hu, where did you find this thing?"

"right here."

The witch Hu Ze turned her head and pointed to a small hole in the reef that was slightly bigger than a fist, "This stone fish is in this small hole, maybe the small hole doesn't have much space, so after the stone fish is cracked, , did not scatter around, and kept the shape of the fish, I just took it out intact."

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly, what the witch said was reasonable.

"Moreover, the rock used by this stone fish is very similar to the rock on the Jade Mountain. Although there are no traces of jade, it already feels cold at this moment."

The witch said seriously again, "So I speculate that this stone fish may not have been carved manually, but was transformed after eating black soil and dying, as recorded in "Yao Shen Zhi Tong Yao."

Wu Liang nodded again, and said with concentration: "It is indeed written in "The Essentials of Yangshenzhi" that fish will also eat the black soil formed from corpses, but it is different from animals such as humans and macaques. Fish, birds, and snakes have eaten black soil. It will not lose fertility, but it is not stated in "Yuan Shen Zhi Tong Yao", whether fish will also turn into stones after eating black soil, so..."

Speaking of this, Wu Liang realized another problem that was not a problem, and glanced sideways at the witch.

Although Miko Hu's speculation is well-founded, there are not too many loopholes in the words.

But after all, this is something that is not stated in "The Essentials of Yangshenzhi". The witch Hu not only discovered the stone fish first, but also took the lead in making such a guess... It always gave Wu Liang a feeling that he was slowing down and was being guided. a feeling of.

Then Wu Liang shook his head again.

It's also possible that he was overthinking. After all, he also admitted that this problem is not a problem, and there is nothing to prove, let alone any obvious loopholes.

"So what?"

The witch asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, put away this stone fish first, maybe it can be used later."

Wu Liang smiled and said.

So the two continued to grope among the reefs. Although this place looked like a maze, it didn't have many dead ends like a maze. You only needed to go around some obstacles to go deep into it.

And as they continued to go deeper 20 meters.

"Ah!"

But the old macaque king suddenly screamed again, his eyes were staring at the front and refused to take a step forward, and he even stretched out his forelimbs to cling to the rock beside him, no matter how Wu Liang pulled, even if he tried to fight Also indifferent.

"Attention, there may be something frightening ahead!"

Wu Liang didn't really hit this guy, but he raised his vigilance, temporarily tied the old macaque king to a rock, and pulled out the copper dagger at the back of his waist.

In front of him is still a wall-like reef, with only a gap less than one meter in the middle to pass through.

And behind this gap, there are tall rocks, completely blocking Wu Liang's sight, unable to see what is behind.

"Ok!"

The witch also responded, and hugged the iron chisel she had picked up in the village before, with a look of worry on her pretty face.

"This place is narrow, and it's difficult for two people to walk side by side. I'll go in first and take a look. You will stay here for the time being and follow my orders."

Wu Liang said seriously again.

"it is good."

The witch nodded solemnly.

So Wu Liang held the copper dagger and slowly touched the crevice of the reef less than one meter away.

Apart from the facing reef behind the gap, there is a mezzanine that is also less than one meter wide on the left and right sides. When you look up, you can only see a very narrow piece of sky, which is the true line of sky.

However, these reefs are more than ten meters high, which not only affects the light in this interlayer, but also gives people a very strong sense of oppression, as if they will be caught by the reefs on both sides at any time.

"call--"

Wu Liang took a deep breath, forcibly resisting this powerful sense of oppression, and chose to grope along the mezzanine to the right.

After walking about three meters in this way, he found a slightly larger pit on the reefs on both sides, and in this pit, he also found a path made of crushed stones. of whole fish.

This stone fish is very different from the previous "little yellow croaker".

Its body is ellipsoidal, looks like a submarine specimen, and its size is similar to the rugby of later generations, so it should belong to the dolphins recognized by later generations.

But the difference is.

Its mouth is different from the dolphins in Wu Liang's cognition. It has a flat protruding beak like a bird's beak, but the beak usually has no teeth, but in its mouth like this, two rows of sharp edges can be clearly seen. There are even a few more pointed and longer tusks at the very front of the mouth.

If you have to say what this fish thinks...

Wu Liang thought of a group of extremely strange creatures in later generations—the platypus.

But unlike the platypus, this rockfish should definitely belong to a fish. It also has gills and fishtail fins on its back, which platypus does not have.

And if Wu Liang remembered correctly, the platypus should have no teeth in its mouth.

"Could it be a fish from ancient times?"

Wu Liang really couldn't tell what kind of fish it was, so he had to keep its characteristics in mind for the time being and continue to explore.

In this way, he moved forward a few steps, and Wu Liang discovered the same pit on the other side of the reef, and there was also a stone fish similar to the strange fish just now in the pit, except that this stone fish The body is slightly smaller.

"This……"

Wu Liang took out the Suihou bead and completely illuminated the poorly lit interlayer. Only then did he suddenly discover that the high place and the rock in front were covered with similar pits!
