Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 885 The Missing Lock Dragon Pillar (4000)

"what happened?"

Hearing Dian Wei's cry, Wu Liang stopped and turned around.

"Young Master, Wei just suddenly remembered that Wei didn't see nothing while he was in a coma."

Dian Wei came up close and said solemnly, "Wei vaguely remembered that in the darkness, a pair of huge eyes condensed in the emptiness far above his head. The eyes made Wei feel unprecedented fear, as if some invisible force bound Wei's hands and feet, making Wei unable to move an inch, but the force was getting stronger and stronger, and finally Wei couldn't bear it and knelt on the ground , that strength also disappeared, and when Wei looked up again, those eyes were also missing."

"what's next?"

Wu Liang frowned, and asked.

"After that, Wei didn't know anything. This is the only memory that Wei left with a vague impression. It took Wei a long time to recall it before he remembered a little bit."

Dian Wei said quickly.

"Huge eyes..."

Wu Liang nodded while looking up at the sky above his head.

In this secret realm, the sun and moon will also rise and set as usual, but affected by the environment, the sun and moonlight are always blocked by a thin layer of smog, making it darker than the outside world no matter day or night.

At this moment, the wind has stopped and the rain has subsided, and the fog has also dissipated.

Wu Liang finally saw that round of moon haloed into a ball of yellow clouds in the thin smog. From the shape projected by the yellow clouds, it can be seen that this should be a round of early moon, and this is already the moon of the Huan army. The third eclipse experienced here...

As for the huge eyes mentioned in Dian Wei's words, there is no sign of them.

in this case.

These huge eyes should be the pictures and feelings Dian Wei saw in his subconscious mind. After all, Dian Wei has not opened his eyes since he fainted... But it is hard to say when he quietly left the camp.

"My lord, did Wei Fangcai do something disobedient?"

Dian Wei quickly interrupted Wu Liang's thoughts, and asked again.

He had already asked Yang Wanli this question once, but Yang Wanli did not tell the truth.

However, Dian Wei is a person who is rough and meticulous, and he has already noticed it when he saw the broken engineering shovel in the hands of the soldiers of the Huren Army, especially now that he saw the vajra umbrella in Wu Liang's hand that had been deformed to the point that it could not be closed. , and the blood stains on Wu Liang's hands due to the shattering of the tiger's mouth, he was even more suspicious.

Wu Liang turned around, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, you didn't do anything disobedient to me just now, and everyone didn't suffer any harm. Didn't you all see that everyone is doing well now."

"The young master's hand and the vajra umbrella..."

Dian Wei said.

"Just now we were besieged by those armors, and we suffered some minor injuries in a hurry. It has nothing to do with you, and it's fine."

Wu Liang still smiled.

Not only Yang Wanli knew Dian Wei's temper well, but Wu Liang knew it as well. If this guy knew that Wu Liang's injury was caused by him, he would definitely feel a great burden in his heart, and he would feel guilty for a long time.

Therefore, the most sensible thing to do is not to tell him the truth. If Yang Wanli can fool this matter, Wu Liang will naturally not tell the truth.

"But……"

Dian Wei wanted to say something else.

"Brother Dianwei, don't you believe me anymore?"

Wu Liang straightened his face immediately.

"Wei dare not."

Dian Wei quickly bowed his head to salute.

"My injury really has nothing to do with you, and now is not the time to talk about it."

Wu Liang's tone softened a little, and he patted Dian Wei on the shoulder and said, "Brothers have reached their limit now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to support them. It coincides with the occurrence of such a vision in the secret realm tonight, and it is very likely that some useful things will appear. Clue, since you wake up, you have to take responsibility, understand?"

"promise!"

Dian Wei raised his head and replied in a deep voice, finally no longer entangled with the matter just now, looking at his eyes, he knew that he had entered the state.

……

After comforting Dian Wei, Wu Liang first went to check the armor.

Carefully unloading those armors, the real masters inside also appeared in front of Wu Liang, and they were indeed the floating corpses that they had dug out before.

At this moment, these floating corpses have returned to their previous state, and they are paralyzed to the ground without any signs of life.

No one can tell how they put on these armors neatly, and no one knows why they were able to stand up just now, and they seemed to have consciousness and surrounded the soldiers.

"Doctor Hua, may I trouble you to select a few floating corpses and dissect them to see if there is anything special about them?"

Wu Liang checked for a while but found nothing, so he assigned this task to Hua Tuo.

However, he always felt that some unknown changes must have taken place in these floating corpses. After all, dead corpses are different from living people. Dead bodies are the same as stones and woods that do not have life in a narrow sense. If they are to perform certain actions or behaviors, they usually need some special means at the physical level to achieve.

"Wu Taishi don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Hua Tuo readily agreed.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, leaving some people to cooperate with Hua Tuo in dissecting, and then went to the excavation pit to investigate non-stop.

Having experienced the torrential rain just now, many low-lying places in the excavation pit have already accumulated water puddles. Fortunately, the heavy rain comes and goes quickly, and these puddles are still relatively shallow.

So down into the excavation pit.

Wu Liang found more armored floating corpses around, but these floating corpses all fell to the ground in disorder, apparently having lost their previous "vitality".

Wu Liang didn't pay attention to them either, and immediately led everyone to check the Suolongzhu and the copper tree suppressed by Suolongzhu.

The visions experienced tonight all happened after he ordered Dianwei to chop down the copper tree. Wu Liang had reason to suspect that these events were related to the copper tree.

But they hadn't gone far before they were blocked by something they had never seen before.

It was a lush tree.

With the dim light from the Suihou Pearl, Wu Liang stepped forward to distinguish it carefully, and found that it was actually a cypress tree.

The trunk of this cypress tree is more than one meter in diameter, and it should be about twenty meters high. Although it cannot be compared with many thousand-year-old trees, it is at least an old tree that has lived for hundreds of years.

The trunk of the cypress tree is slightly twisted, the more it twists upwards, the more twisted branches grow on the trunk, making its whole shape look a little weird and hideous.

But the tree is very healthy.

This can be seen from the extremely luxuriant branches and leaves on the crown of the tree. Wu Liang has seen many ancient trees that have been hundreds of thousands of years old in later generations, and he has also seen some in this era. These ancient trees have one thing in common, that That is, there are always some branches on the old tree that have died, leaving only a bare tree branch.

But this tree did not have a similar situation, not a single dry branch.

"Where did this tree come from?"

"Shouldn't there be any before?"

"Could it be a new growth..."

"How is it possible, this tree is at least a hundred years old, how could it be possible to grow in just a few hours, don't you want to joke with me!"

"..."

When they saw the tree, everyone showed suspicious expressions and dared not go forward easily.

"This……"

At this moment, Wu Liang's eyes were focused on the stone platform at the bottom of the big tree that was piled up with square stones.

The length and width of this stone platform are more than one zhang, the square is very flat, only a few stone bricks in the middle near the big tree are lifted by the top of the tree root...

"Is this the stone platform we dug up at the beginning?"

Wu Liang carefully compared the location, scale and shape of this stone platform, and came to a conclusion that he couldn't believe, and he said it to everyone with a little confidence.

When they excavated that stone platform before, they dug out a piece of rotten wood in the shape of a stake and a large number of rotten roots spreading under the stone platform.

And the diameter of the wooden stake seems to be more than one meter, which is consistent with the ancient tree in front of it.

But how is this possible? !
Even if that mysterious spiritual power controls Dian Wei and the floating corpses to rebuild this stone platform, it is absolutely impossible to come here from the old cypress tree high above the sky, right?
What's more, judging from the ancient traces of this stone platform, it is definitely not rebuilt.

the most important is.

Wu Liang looked at a pile of stones piled up not far from the stone platform. Those stones were dismantled from the stone platform before. What they looked like when they were dismantled, and what they look like now...

"That's right, the stone platform we dismantled before is exactly the same as this stone platform, and its position is exactly the same, even this big tree..."

Yu Ji hurriedly said, the more he said, the more frightened he became, "The location and thickness of this big tree are exactly the same as the rotten wood dug out below... What's going on? Why is this stone platform and this social tree The tree is growing again?!"

"long?"

I have to admit that the word Yu Ji is very expressive, and these things seem to grow out of thin air.

But why did they suddenly grow out?

Even though Wu Liang possessed a lot of insights from later generations, he was unable to give a reasonable explanation for the situation in front of him, and he couldn't even draw an inference.

"..."

Everyone in the Huanren Army was shocked by Yu Ji's words.

What Wu Liang couldn't explain, they couldn't explain even more. They just felt that this secret place was even weirder than before, and a trace of coolness was quietly attacking their backs.

But looking back at the strange insect stone sculpture not far from here, it still stands there in good condition, and it seems that nothing has changed.

But say it.

Since the Huan army discovered the stone sculptures of strange insects, except for Wu Liang who went forward to clean them up carefully, they hadn't actually moved them.

In order to confirm this point, Wu Liang deliberately walked up to the strange stone sculpture and observed it carefully.

At this glance, he immediately discovered the problem.

"If I remember correctly, when Dian Wei and I first used the Luoyang shovel to explore this place, we used the Luoyang shovel to carve out a mark on this monster statue. You should remember this?"

Wu Liang frowned.

"I remember."

Everyone nodded.

"But now, the imprint on this monster statue is gone... To be precise, it should have been restored automatically, without any signs of damage."

Wu Liang murmured and said.

"This……"

The look of surprise and suspicion on the faces of the people in the Huan army was even more intense.

Perhaps the word "long" can be used to describe the stone platform and the community tree, but which word should be used to describe the damage marks on the monster statue?

"By the way, there's that bronze statue!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly exclaimed, "I remember Brother Youcai bent one horn on the helmet of the bronze statue... Oh? Why did the bronze statue disappear? Where did it go?"

"This……"

Everyone in the Huan army looked around to look for it.

"keep the change."

Seeing this, Wu Liang said at the right time, "The bronze statue was dug out from the roots of the rotten tree under the stone platform. Now that the stone platform has been restored and the community tree has grown again, then the bronze statue should be in the community tree. under."

"Yes, yes, the bronze statue was indeed dug out from under the society tree, so now..."

Everyone just woke up.

In this way, if you want to verify the situation of the bronze statue, you need to cut down the community tree and dig up its roots. It's no small job.

"Leave it alone for now."

Wu Liang pondered, "Now we should find out whether there are other things that have changed here, and make a decision after a thorough inspection, especially the copper tree and the lock dragon pillar."

As he spoke, Wu Liang had already walked around the regrowth community tree and headed towards the direction where the lock dragon pillar was.

The Locking Dragon Pillar is very tall, and it is not far from here. Originally, this community tree should not be able to completely block it, but it is late at night, even if there is Sui Houzhu nearby, the sight of the people in the Huan army is still the same. It has been greatly affected, so I can't see it for the time being... At least that's what Wu Liang thinks.

But when Wu Liang bypassed the community tree, he stayed where he was again.

Because in his eyes, that tall and strong lock dragon pillar no longer exists!
Where is my lock dragon pillar?

Where is my so thick and so big lock dragon pillar? !

Wu Liang's eyes widened.

Everyone in the Huan army also widened their eyes.

In the excavation pit in front of him at this moment, only the big pure copper stump that was almost cut off by its roots remained.

Without the suppression of the Suolongzhu, the cross-section of the large pure copper stump was presented in front of Wu Liang and the others without reservation.

But they didn't see the annual rings like wood on the cross section, but only saw a black hollow like paulownia.

"This?!"

Everyone instantly remembered the nightmare just now.

In the dream, there was always a huge black shadow that couldn't see clearly instructing them to push down the dragon lock pillar that was pressing on the copper tree. Now that they don't need to push it, the dragon lock pillar has disappeared. What does this mean?
