Chapter 148: Water Dragon Pillar! (4000 first update)

"Spirit Lake Soul Sucking?!"

Hearing Wu Liang's words, Bai Jingjing looked suspicious.

Wu Liang's previous secrecy work was very strict, except for Yang Wanli and others, who went out in advance to find out the news, the rest of the people knew nothing, including Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing.

Wu Liang knows the horror of "Linghu Soul Sucking", and he also knows the uncertainty of "Linghu Soul Sucking".

Therefore, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, although he made many puzzling arrangements in advance to prevent it, he never said the reason.

For example, the soldiers of the Qiang army were ordered to camp on the top of a hill two miles away from here.

Another example: when visiting the tomb, he ordered the soldiers of the Jar people to leave four fast horses, and the rest of the people all withdrew to the camp on the top of the mountain.

This arrangement is very different from his previous tomb robbing, and it seems that it will also waste some manpower on the surface, even if there is no outside guard when entering the tomb, it will increase the possibility of accidents.

So much so that when some soldiers go back and forth between the tomb of the Marquis of Hailun and the mountain camp every day, they always feel that they have taken some unjust roads in vain, and there are already a small number of people who have begun to question Wu Liang's ability to lead the troops, and miss the time when Cao Yu was the captain of the school.

Of course.

That is, to discuss it in private, and no one dared to raise objections in front of him.

Not only because they are soldiers and Wu Liang is a general, but also because of Wu Liang's humble appearance, the "cruel" nature that is sometimes revealed.

Even if not many people knew about Yang Wanli when he was "intimidated" by Wu Liang, but at the outskirts of Yuancheng, the "ruthless coldness" revealed by Wu Liang when he negotiated with the tomb keeper was witnessed by many people.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Qiangren army have reached a consensus in private, that is, they would rather offend Cao Yu than never offend Wu Liang, it is too vicious.

This is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

At this moment, Wu Liang was not on the mountain, so a few soldiers had nothing to do and privately discussed Wu Liang's recent decision:

"I don't know what Captain Wu thinks, why do we have to camp here, so not only can we not rescue him in time, but we also have to run a lot of unjust roads every day, it's really foolish, if Captain Cao is still here, he will definitely not arrange it like this."

"Yes, but the two are different, Captain Cao was born in the scholar family, not only is he strong in martial arts, but he also read a lot of the art of war when he was young, and Captain Wu is ...... You know. ”

"This is fate, some people are just fate, they can go from slavery to captain in a few months......"

"Shut up! Captain Wu is also what you can arrange behind the scenes? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, what's the chief, we just don't understand why Captain Wu arranged it like this, your thinking is more lively than ours, give us an analysis and analysis."

"This ...... How does Lao Tzu know? In short, you remember, our army has risen several times in a row, all thanks to Captain Wu! Also, you didn't go to Yuancheng with the army last time, I don't know what Captain Wu did, he is actually much more powerful than Captain Cao, if Lao Tzu tells you, he almost wiped out a 300-person tribe under Lu Bu's command without blood, and easily resolved the contradiction with the tomb keeper, not only saved the four scouts who fell into the hands of the tomb keeper, but also asked the tomb keeper to voluntarily let him go to the tomb to hunt for treasure, do you think he is powerful? ”

"Really?"

"Isn't that a clever calculation?"

"It seems that you can still see through people's hearts?"

"When did Lao Tzu tell a lie? Also, I would like to advise you...... Don't offend Captain Wu, he wants to be ruthless, and it is definitely not something you can bear! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"In short, a few of you have listened to Lao Tzu, if anyone dares to talk about these things in private in the future, when they are cleaned up by Captain Wu and can't survive and die, don't blame Lao Tzu for not only interceding for you, but also taking the initiative to report and pick himself up!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

That's when it happened.

"Boom ......"

With the dull sound from the ground, the hill where the Hsmiling Army was stationed also shook slightly, and many soldiers hurriedly stood up.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, these two blows knocked my sapper shovel over, but it doesn't seem to be shaking anymore?"

"It's moving, isn't it? I heard that there is a big fish living underground, and after a long time, the big fish wants to turn over, and as soon as the big fish turns over, the ground will tremble. ”

"Captain Wu's side will be fine, right? Do you want to check it out? ”

"Have you forgotten Captain Wu's order? It's not enough for 6 hours, and the white girl didn't whistle, don't act rashly, and stay in place! ”

……

"Brother Dian Wei!"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing had already arrived at the bottom of the dry well, and immediately raised their heads and called Dian Wei.

"Head of the house!"

Dian Wei's face appeared above the dry well in response.

"Quick! Pull the two of us up, and we'll get out of here and head back to the mountains! ”

Wu Liang said anxiously, while already tying Bai Jingjing's mountaineering knot, as for himself, after Bai Jingjing went up, he dragged the rope and then Dian Wei pulled it, it was easy to climb up, and there was no need to be so troublesome.

"Yes!"

Dian Wei's execution is extremely strong, and he never asks why when he gets an order, and he starts to do it immediately.

In just a few breaths, Bai Jingjing, who hadn't understood what was going on, had already been pulled up.

Then Wu Liang also quickly climbed up along the rope.

Then there was no time to explain, Wu Liang immediately rushed to the horses that Dian Wei had already led in advance, and urged loudly: "Quick! Launched! Get back to the mountain as soon as possible! ”

While speaking, Wu Liang had already jumped on horseback.

Although the remaining three didn't understand what was going on, seeing that Wu Liang's expression and tone were very anxious, they hurriedly ran over and turned over and followed Wu Liang in the direction of the hill.

It was also at this time that a few people had a slight gap to speak.

"This ...... Drive! Drive! Childe, why is this move? Could it be that something strange happened to you and this girl in the tomb? ”

Yu Ji struggled to beat the horse's buttocks, and finally barely caught up with Wu Liang, and couldn't help but ask with his throat upside down.

"Drive! Do you feel the earth's movement? ”

Wu Liang tried his best to urge the horse to sit down, and at the same time turned around and asked.

"I feel it, but this level of ground movement is not enough to threaten our safety, right?"

Yu Ji was puzzled.

"Not so! Didn't you say before that the feng shui pattern here is the 'Eight Yellow Springs', and the tomb owner will be protected from the outside world after his burial? ”

Wu Liang immediately said half-truthfully, "When I moved, I pinched my fingers and calculated, and the result was that it was even more murderous!" That is to say, the 'Eight Evil Yellow Springs' may be ready to exert their power, and the sudden appearance of the earth is a sign, if we do not leave as soon as possible, we will suffer a catastrophe, you know my divination skills, and there has never been a leak, so we must leave this place as soon as possible! ”

In fact, Wu Liang now recalls what he had encountered in the tomb before, and has already sensed some signs before the earthquake - those burial insects!

Later studies have shown that before each earthquake, there are always some animals that are more sensitive than humans, such as rats and snakes, who can predict in advance and flee in advance.

Even the Celestial Empire had already made relevant discoveries as early as the Tang Dynasty.

Zhong left such a record: "The rats gathered in the imperial court and the city and roared, and the place was slaughtered. ”

And those burial insects probably sensed the arrival of the earthquake in advance, so they fled in a hurry after the tomb was opened......

It's just that at that time, Wu Liang was bent on robbing the tomb and ignored this detail.

And Wu Liang was not afraid of earthquakes, history records that there were no serious earthquakes here at this time, and the terrain of their generation is vast and flat, and it is difficult to directly threaten their lives if an earthquake comes.

What he fears is the unpredictable "carbon dioxide" hidden at the bottom of the Spirit Lake, which is the so-called "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" event.

Although the earthquake does not feel strong on the ground, it has a great chance of breaking the excess high-pressure balance at the bottom of the lake, and if so, the carbon dioxide gas will gush out of the lake like a loose horse, and the "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" event will break out again.

Don't be careful!

"Drive! Drive! Drive! Horses, run! ”

Listening to Wu Liang's words, Yu Ji immediately sat down as if he had been stimulated, and whipped even harder to sit down on the horse, for fear that he would die if he ran one step slower.

This old boy who has lived for nearly ninety years, and his desire to survive is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

But everyone has their own ambitions.

If Wu Liang had been allowed to live so old as a boy, Wu Liang would have been tired of living crookedly.

"Drive! Drive! Drive! ”

Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing were also whipping the horses hard, if they didn't do this, they would be thrown away by Wu Liang and Yu Ji.

……

Meanwhile.

"Uncle Yang! Wu Sima and the others have already come out of the tomb, and they are rushing towards us at this moment! Other than that...... The water in the lake below seems to be a little different! ”

A soldier who was in charge of monitoring the situation below came to Yang Wanli's side to report.

"Is there something going on in the tomb?"

Yang Wanli's expression tightened, and he quickly got up and came to the top of the mountain peak to look down.

I saw that Wu Liang and the other four were still riding horses and galloping below, with four extremely spectacular smoke and dust behind them.

The Tomb of the Marquis of Hailun was only two miles away from the hill where they had camped, and now they had already run half the way, and it would probably take a few minutes at most to run down the mountain.

If you go up the hill from the relatively gentle west side, you can also ride a horse, but the foot is a little slower, and it will take a few minutes.

Look at Naling Lake again......

At this glance, Yang Wanli was suddenly startled.

I saw that Linghu at this moment has changed from a beautiful cyan mirror to a ...... Yang Wanli didn't know how to describe it, he only saw that there was a large cloud of gray-yellow muddy water in the middle of the lake at the moment, which was constantly spreading around.

And at the center of the muddy water, the lake was already tumbling like boiling water, stirring up huge water streaks.

It was as if an unseen monster was writhing in the muddy waters.

"Uncle Yang, do you need to send someone down to pick up Captain Wu?"

The soldier then asked.

"No! Captain Wu gave an order before entering the tomb, if there is an abnormality in Linghu, we must not go down the mountain easily, do you want to disobey the military order? ”

Yang Wanli said immediately.

Is the rumored "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" going to appear?

Thinking of this, Yang Wanli was very nervous in his heart, but this was by no means the reason why he did not send people down the mountain, nor was he afraid of being punished for disobeying military orders, but he unconditionally believed in Wu Liang's arrangement.

After Liu Liu, the king of Guangchuan on the outskirts of Yuancheng, went to the tomb to see Wu Liang's ability, Yang Wanli had already thrown himself into the five bodies that Wu Liang admired, and he knew that any arrangement made by Wu Liang must have his own ideas, although he did not understand the reason too much many times, but he believed that what Wu Liang did must be the best arrangement.

If he makes his own opinions, he will disrupt Wu Liang's arrangement, and he may not be able to achieve good results at that time.

What's more, if the "Spirit Lake Soul Sucking" really comes out, this mountain is only less than 3 miles away from the Spirit Lake at most, is it really safe?

"But ......"

The soldier was one of the four scouts who fell into the hands of the tomb keeper at the beginning, and at this moment, seeing that Yang Wanli refused to send someone to pick up Wu Liang on the grounds of military orders, he wanted to say something.

"This matter needs not be discussed again! Come! ”

Yang Wanli immediately interrupted him with a raised hand, called the herald and said, "Pass my order, everyone is on standby, and they are not allowed to go down the mountain at will, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!" ”

……

Finally.

Wu Liang and the others rode their horses to the foot of the mountain.

"Ride up the mountain! Fast! ”

Wu Liang still didn't relax at the moment, and then shouted at Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing, and Yu Ji, and continued to instigate the horses that had begun to pant for breath.

So the four of them continued to forcibly drive their horses up the hill.

It's almost halfway up the mountain.

"Boom!"

A loud bang suddenly came from the direction of Spirit Lake.

Wu Liang hurriedly turned around.

But with this loud noise, a water dragon pillar dozens of feet high has risen from the lake, and at this moment it is like a giant dragon rushing out of the water, and the "roar" shook the heavens and the earth.

Here it comes!

It's finally here!

"Quick! Hurry up! Continue up the hill! It's too late! ”

At this moment, although the height difference between Wu Liang and the others and the lake surface has been dozens of meters, because the distance between this hill and the Linghu Lake is too close, even if a large amount of carbon dioxide is poured out, it will sink rapidly due to the high density, and the height of the gas layer passing through here will not be too low.

Therefore, it is necessary to climb as high as possible before the invisible and untouchable layer of gas covers it.

Heard Wu Liang's urgent shout.

Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji, who were shocked by the shocking scene in the lake, finally came back to their senses and hurriedly continued to gallop on horseback.

Phewβ€”β€”!

It's already windy.

Wu Liang and the others ran wildly towards the mountain for about a few tens of meters.

It's a pity that Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji gradually fell behind, and the physical strength of the horses under them seemed to be slightly worse, and they were already overwhelmed at the moment, and their speed gradually slowed down, and they were nearly ten meters away from Wu Liang and Dian Wei.

"Hurry!"

Wu Liang anxiously turned back and urged.

saw that the horses under Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji's seat suddenly stiffened, and they fell to the ground with a stumble.

And Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji, who fell down with it, were also like dead corpses, and they had no reaction at all!
