Standing by the huge human oil lamp, Liu Shibai silently stared at the flames with a pungent smell. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Eighteen, if the old man is right, these dry bones should be the Qingzhou Yellow Turban that was exterminated back then, except for the 30,000 Qingzhou elites, the rest are here. ”

"Lao Cao, your thoughts coincide with mine!"

Liu Shibai couldn't calm down for a long time, and secretly said in his heart:

Could it be that this is a success and ten thousand bones?

Just to boil a huge amount of human oil, you need to kill so many prisoners?

These are all ordinary people!

Cao Cao, he really deserves to be a hero!

With a secret sigh in his heart, Liu Shibai slowly turned around and looked around the cave.

I walked around, but I didn't get anything, and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary!

Liu Eighteen felt a little strange.

Could it be that he misjudged? Cao Cao's true bones are not in this underground cave?

Liu Shibai looked at Cao Xiong and saw that the old man was also looking around.

And Li Ergou and his wife stood on the edge of the mass grave and judged their heads, and they were amazed.

Slowly walking to Cao Xiong's side, Liu Shibai glanced at a huge human oil lamp beside Cao Xiong suspiciously.

These oil lamps surrounding the mass grave are a little different from the fire trough above the mountain stream.

The fire trough circles around the hall and is a whole. And the human oil lamp here in the mass grave is alone.

Each individual oil lamp is the kind of ancient Dading, Liu Shibai roughly counted, there are ten in total, and only one of them is different, which is the one next to Cao Xiong now.

This man's oil lamp is in human shape!

At first glance, it was a man in armor, his face was blurry and he couldn't see clearly, but he could vaguely see an iron helmet with a top on his head.

At the top of the iron helmet is a burning wick, and the flame seems to have a faint purple color.

The rest of the oil lamp is dark, and I don't know what material it is made of.

"Lao Cao, what's so strange about this lamp?"

Liu Eighteen asked suspiciously.

"There are ten people in the hall with oil lamps, and the rest of the nine are huge bronze tripods.

Only this humanoid oil lamp is not forged in bronze. ”

Cao Xiong's voice trembled a little when he spoke, as if he was extremely scared!

"Lao Cao, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Shiba's eyes moved, and he glanced at the man's oil lamp.

"Eighteen, don't you think it's too weird here?"

The corners of Cao Xiong's mouth trembled slightly.

"Yes, little master, it was fine when I first came in, but now that the lights are on, I feel that it is getting colder and colder. ”

Li Ergou pursed his mouth and explained with a grin.

"Cold?"

When Li Ergou said this, even Liu Shibai felt cold.

In the gloomy mass grave, there seems to be an invisible strange aura quietly spreading......

"Eighteen, eighteen, the old man has a strange idea. ”

Cao Xiong stared at the humanoid oil lamp in front of him in horror.

Liu Eighteen felt the gusts of wind around him, glanced back at Cao Xiong with a hideous expression, and said strangely:

"I have a little idea, let's talk about it together and see if it's the same?"

"Good!"

"One, two, three!"

Cao Xiong and Liu Shibai glared at each other, and at the same time raised their hands to point to the huge humanoid oil lamp and said:

"Cao Cao?"

Li Ergou stood beside the two of them suspiciously, and said strangely:

"Although I am uneducated, I also know some allusions, and I understand what you two mean.

Doesn't that mean that this humanoid oil lamp is Cao Xiong's bones?"

Liu Shibai glanced at Li Ergou in surprise, and said in his heart: I thought you were a fool?

"Uncle Ergou, what is the allusion you are talking about?"

Liu Shibai couldn't help but smile dumbly, and asked with a glare.

"Nine green lamps burn purple gas!"

Li Ergou shook his head and said.

"Smack!"

"I see!"

Before Li Ergou finished speaking, he saw Cao Xiong clapping his palms and roaring.

This roar spread far away in the cave, and the echoes rumbled for a long time, knocking down a lot of rubble on the roof of the cave.

Liu Shibai glared at Cao Xiong suspiciously, looked up at the pitch-black cave roof, and said dissatisfied:

"Be quiet, the roof of the cave has collapsed, and we can't get out! Lao Cao, what do you know?"

"Nine green lamps burn purple gas, which means that Lao Tzu's purple qi coming from the east is not a miracle of nature, but man-made. ”

Cao Xiong said with a terrible smile on his face.

"Artificial?"

"Legend has it that before Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, Guan ordered Yin Xi to see that there was purple gas coming from the east and knew that there would be a saint to pass through.

Later, I saw Lao Tzu riding a green ox, so it was called purple qi coming from the east, and now it is used as a metaphor for auspicious signs. ”

Cao Xiong explained softly.

"What does Purple Qi Donglai have to do with us here?"

Liu Eighteen wondered.

"It matters, purple qi is not a good omen, but a great omen.

Purple qi, in fact, is the condensation of the legendary yin spirit, lighting nine green lanterns, gathering thousands of ghost qi, and forming a trend of purple qi coming from the east.

Lao Tzu wrote a 5,000-word Tao Te Ching, in which the Tao is used to explain the evolution of all things in the universe.

Lao Tzu thought that the Tao gave birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things, so there was a saying that there was a law of earth, earth and heaven, heaven and Tao, and nature. ”

Cao Xiong frowned and explained slowly.

Liu Shibai looked at the human-shaped oil lamp strangely, shook his head and said:

"I still don't understand. ”

Cao Xiong sighed and said with a wry smile:

"So, do you know which of Lao Tzu's most famous words is?"

Liu Eighteen was stunned when he heard this?

The most famous?

"Hahaha, it's not easy, I know, my father told me when I was a child. ”

Li Ergou laughed triumphantly.

"Huh?"

Cao Xiong and Liu Shibai glanced at each other strangely.

This old guy is also in his sixties, isn't he usually stupid?

Is it wise and foolish?

"Which one?"

Liu Shiba's eyes lit up and asked deliberately.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and the king is unkind, and the people are ...... dogs."

Li Ergou squeezed his eyes and glanced at Liu Eighteen narrowly.

"I understand what Lao Cao means!"

Liu Eighteen glanced at Cao Xiong, who was also dumbfounded, and then said:

"Lao Tzu rode a bull to the west to send a letter to Guguan, and at the same time the purple qi came from the east, which is not a good omen.

This is Lao Tzu resolving countless unjust souls in the world, he uses himself as a green lamp, burns the fire of his life, and guides countless unjust souls who have turned into purple gas to reincarnate. ”

Cao Xiong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and at the same time looked at the human oil lamp burning with a purple flame beside him with a solemn face.

"Old Cao, I now understand that your ancestor Cao Cao was not a vicious murderer.

Whoever kills the people in this pit of bones and refines human oil may be someone else.

And after Cao Cao's death, he used his bones to forge green lanterns, turn purple qi, and guide thousands of unjust souls to go to another world......"

Liu Eighteen was silent for a long time and said softly.

"Ancestor, the descendant Cao Xiong has kowtowed to you!"

Cao Xiong couldn't cry silently, and slowly knelt in front of the burning humanoid oil lamp.

Seeing this, Liu Eighteen sighed slightly.

It turns out that history is not as real as people seem to seem!

The truth of everything is hidden in the unknown corner.

Cao Cao I was a hero, founding the Cao Wei Empire, how could he be a murderous tyrant?

Only an emperor who loves the people like a son can have this kind of mind, and after his death, he will turn himself into a green lantern ancient Buddha, and light the lamp to bliss for those who have died unjustly......

This is the purple qi coming from the east!

Good one, nine green lamps burn purple gas......

Note:
