Wu Liang is not a hypocritical person.

Seeing that Dian Wei was so persistent, and he was not sure what would happen to him after entering this cave, he knew that bringing Dian Wei with him would undoubtedly make this operation much safer.

And with his understanding of Dian Wei, this man is not ordinary heartfelt.

If something happened to him inside, and Dian Wei didn't follow, for this resolute but stubborn person, I'm afraid it would only be worse than death......

So after a little silence, Wu Liang finally nodded and said, "Okay, Dian Wei and I will enter the cave together, and the rest of the people will wait outside......"

As a result, the voice just fell.

Bai Jingjing stood in front of him again, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this scoundrel?" Do you want to take the opportunity to get rid of me, a Suizhu person, and abscond with Hou Zhu? ”

Wu Liang naturally knew that Bai Jingjing was not talking about Suihou Zhu and Suizhu people, but he was just using this as an excuse to follow him in.

So he deliberately said with a straight face: "Jingjing, don't follow this time, until now I haven't figured out what the evil thing in here is, if there is any danger, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you, obedient!" ”

"Suizhu people only listen to Suihou Zhu's words, I will be where Suihou Zhu is, this is the oath I made to the ancestors of the Bai family when I left home, you don't count, I don't count if I say it."

As she spoke, without Wu Liang's reminder, Bai Jingjing had already followed Wu Liang's example and put the "gas mask" on her face, her eyes were extremely firm.

"Jingjing ......"

Wu Liang had already begun to consider whether to use the "Lost Soul Incense" to charm Bai Jingjing, but he felt very uneasy to put her charmed outside......

That's when it happened.

"If you talk this nonsense here again, Yang Wanli and they will go away."

Yu Ji also suddenly said angrily.

I saw that this old boy, who had always been "greedy for life and afraid of death", had actually put on a "gas mask", and had already bent down and crawled towards this half-meter-high cave.

"Old man, you are ......"

Wu Liangpo looked at Yu Ji with some surprise.

Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing insisted on following him in, which was relatively easy to understand, but Yu Ji's actions were completely unexpected by him.

This old boy has always hid back when he encounters dangerous things, and sometimes he can't even see a shadow, but this time he volunteered so much, which is really far from the old boy's usual temperament.

Even before this, Wu Liang felt that even if the two soldiers entered the cave with him, Yu Ji would definitely not enter.

"When I was in Yuzhang County, Yang Wanli, this kid, once saved the old man's life, this time he was killed, if the old man ignores it, he will definitely be poked in the back by you when he turns back...... At the age of the old man, face is more important than life. ”

Yu Ji's voice already had some hollow echoes.

Unexpectedly, the first person to enter this unknown cave was Yu Ji, an old boy.

Wu Liang finally stopped talking nonsense on this matter, just shook his head helplessly, and instructed the remaining two soldiers, "You must stay outside to answer, if we haven't come out after dawn, you will immediately return to the garrison and tell the Wanren army to stand by, and wait for the arrival of the Jun army to return to the generals who led the army." ”

"If you hear a whistle coming from inside the cave, you will also return to the garrison at once, and lead the people of the Qiang army into the cave to meet us."

"Do you understand?"

The two soldiers knew that their position was also important, and immediately responded, "Understood! ”

"Okay, let's go in too, but the ugly words will come first, if a few of you die here because of this, don't tell me when you get down, I didn't ask you to come in with you."

With such a joke, Wu Liang went into the cave for the second time.

To tell the truth, seeing the choice of Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji, Wu Liang was actually quite heartwarming.

This small team formed by him has become more and more like that, at least the members can rely on each other and hand over their backs to each other.

This small team has a soul before you know it.

"If you are together, you will live, and if you are divided, you will die."

Wu Liang suddenly thought of a classic line about touching the golden captain in the tomb robbery in later generations.

If there is no accident this time and Yang Wanli can be rescued, Wu Liang plans to let Yang Wanli and Yu Ji officially join his archaeological team.

He will give Yang Wanli the ring engraved with the word "three".

"Three" represents communication, which corresponds to Yang Wanli's responsibilities.

Yu Ji will get the ring engraved with "empty".

"Emptiness" represents emptiness, Yu Ji is dedicated to the pursuit of the way to become an immortal, and this so-called way to become an immortal in the eyes of Wu Liang is an ethereal emptiness, of course, it is also wishing Yu Ji to be immortal like the big snake pill, the old man has lived for such a long time, and he is still an old boy, it is really not easy.

Now.

The small team has been identified with five members.

Wu Liang didn't have to find the owner of all ten rings, but he was still very much looking forward to finding all kinds of talented people and absorbing them......

……

After entering the cave.

After only a few meters of climbing along the downward slope, they were able to stand up quite naturally.

It turned out that the entrance of the cave was only half covered by the accumulated mud, but in fact, the real height of the cave was nearly three meters, and the width was completely large enough for a carriage.

Even if Dian Wei walked up straight in front of him, he didn't feel cramped at all.

"It looks like this isn't a drainage system, it's an underpass."

Using Suihou beads to illuminate the nearby passage, Wu Liang made a judgment based on the specifications and craftsmanship of the passage.

If it is a drainage system, there is no need to build such a well-equipped one, let alone build such a wide one, and a passage as large as the entrance of the cave is sufficient.

Also, there is no structure such as a sink in the passage.

As long as it is a drainage system, there will definitely be a sink, just like when the bathroom was renovated in later generations, a certain slope must be left on the floor of the bathroom, so as to guide the flow of water into the drain smoothly.

The same is true of the drainage system, if there is no sink to drain it, the water will collect under the city and cannot be discharged, which will not only affect the service life of the building over time, but also give birth to some terrible viruses and eventually cause a plague, which is tantamount to digging a self-grave.

This discovery is naturally a good thing for Wu Liang and others.

The underground passage is much cleaner than the drainage system, and at least you don't have to worry too much about some unknown super virus, or even an ancient virus.

In this way, Yang Wanli followed the soldier and walked a distance.

Finally, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone.

Yang Wanli and the soldier stood on the fork in the road for a few seconds, and then, as if sensing the direction, turned around and walked towards the fork in the road on the right.

"The evil in Yang Wanli's kid is really not simple, it seems that an invisible silk thread has been born to pull him, controlling his every move, if it weren't for them to lead the way, we would have entered this cave, I'm afraid I don't know how to go."

Seeing this scene, Yu Ji frowned and sighed with an old face, and then said, "The old man suddenly feels that Fang Cai's decision seems to be a little hasty, and the old man thought about it carefully, if he even lost his life, what is the use of asking for this face?" I just don't know if it's too late for the old man to quit now? ”

"What do you think?"

Wu Liang was angry and funny, and asked rhetorically with a slanted gaze at the old boy.

The old man thinks...... You are all young people with a lively mind, you should have a few more witty words like an old man, this witty remark is relaxed in the hearts of both the person who said it and the person who listened, and the heart is relaxed This kind of ghost place is not so terrible. ”

Yu Ji is worthy of being a demon who can speak well, and after a little bit of his eyes, he turned the topic elsewhere, and looked at Dian Wei, who was the least talkative among several people, with a smile and said, "Dian Wei, why don't you give them an example first?" ”

This old boy is a real thief.

Knowing that Dian Wei was a person who didn't talk much, and knowing that Dian Wei would not deal with him, he dared to take Dian Wei out to make fun of him.

Heard Yu Ji call his name.

Dian Wei still walked in front without squinting, and didn't seem to hear it at all.

As a result, just when Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing thought that Dian Wei was too lazy to pay attention to his stubble, Dian Wei's muffled voice suddenly came from the front: "Although you can't have both bear paws and fish, but the boy and the old man can." ”

？？？

Hearing Dian Wei's words that suddenly popped out, Wu Liang, Bai Jingjing, and Yu Ji were stunned.

The three of them never thought that Dian Wei would take the initiative to respond to Yu Ji's ridicule, and this seems to be ridiculing each other, right?

It must be just a sneer, right?

It's too late!

Dian Wei, who has never talked nonsense, is actually arguing with Yu Ji!

After being stunned for a second.

The three of them finally reacted to what Dian Wei had just said.

And then.

"Kuku Kuku ......"

Wu Liang couldn't control his laughter in an instant.

"Poof!"

Bai Jingjing also couldn't hold back, and accidentally burst out laughing.

"Alas......"

Only Yu Ji looked embarrassed, and now the entire Hsmiling Army knows that he is an old boy, but there are not many people who dare to tease him in person, not to mention that there are not a few children in the Hsmiling Army.

However, after he was embarrassed for a few seconds, he saw that Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing were still smiling in "Kukuku", looking very painful, and he still deliberately explained to himself: "How can a person who seeks the Tao be called a boy if he is like a jade, the old man is called sincerity, there is a Tao is sincerity, how can a sincere heart be spiritual, how can a dishonest heart seek the fruit of the Tao?" ”

"Hahahaha......"

It's good that Yu Ji didn't explain, but with such a sour explanation, Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing couldn't help laughing.

What's even more excessive is that Wu Liang deliberately walked next to Dian Wei, whose face did not change, patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Brother Dian Wei, talk more after you can speak, or just make a biography, I will teach you if you are illiterate, and I will fund you if the money is not enough." ”

Seeing Wu Liang say this, Yu Ji's old face couldn't hang up even more, and he could even see that it was slightly red, so he also tried to find a scene from Dian Wei, so he stalked his neck and said: "Dian Wei, you laugh at the old man is an old boy, aren't you?" ”

"Wei was young and worked for a large family, and the lady of the family saw that Wei was strong and strong, so she secretly brought Wei into the room when the head of the family was out......"

Dian Wei nodded solemnly, then stretched out three more fingers, stabbed Yu Ji fiercely, and said, "Three times, four hours." ”

“……”

Yu Ji was immediately deflated after hearing this, and opened his mouth slightly but couldn't say a word.

……

And so it goes.

The originally somewhat frustrating atmosphere was indeed relieved a lot.

In the laughter, the group of four people had already followed Yang Wanli and the soldier around the underground secret passage for a long time, but Wu Liangdao did not forget his business, and made a mark on the wall every time he passed through an intersection to prevent him from getting lost when he went out for a while.

However.

When Yang Wanli and the soldier stopped in a relatively wide place, Wu Liang and the others couldn't laugh anymore.

They came to the side of a large tree.

To be exact, it should be the underside of a large tree.

Most of the tree's branches and canopy had reached through the top of the underground passage.

Standing in the secret passage, you can only see the thick trunks of trees two or three meters high below, as well as the intertwined roots of different thicknesses that have long been drilled out of the ground.

And between the roots of these trees, there is ......

Dense human corpses?!

The corpses had been turned into dry bones for a long time, and even the skulls had fallen to the ground or between the roots of trees.

The newer corpses were also wrapped in a layer of shriveled skin, which were dark and brown in color, and even outside the skin were wrapped in clothes that had not completely rotted, both male and female, old and new.

The roots of this big tree are wrapped around the bodies of these human corpses, and give birth to many hairs similar to the feet of a creeper or the tentacles of a morning glory, which either tightly cling to these corpses or wrapping around these corpses, looking like the "chu hand monster" in the ideology of later generations......

"Be careful?!"

Wu Liang and the others immediately stopped, not daring to approach these tree roots easily.

Everyone is afraid that these roots will suddenly come to life, and then bind them like real "hand monsters", and then end up like those dried corpses.

However, Yang Wanli and the soldier had already stepped on the roots of the tree and came to the side of the tree.

The roots didn't react in any way, and looked like some very normal roots.

And then.

Yang Wanli and the soldier did not make any radical moves, but silently leaned on the thick rhizome under the trunk and lay down on their backs, and slowly closed their eyes, as if they were just asleep.

Everything seems so harmonious, a beautiful picture of people and nature living in peace...... If it weren't for those rough estimates that there were at least hundreds of human corpses.

"This ...... Isn't this demon tree 'Yunyang'?! ”

Yu Ji shrunk his neck and hid at the back, frowning an old face and guessing.

"Yunyang?"

Wu Liang's expression changed slightly.

This kind of strange tree with a difference has been recorded in ancient books: "There are big trees in the mountains, there are people who can speak, and non-trees can speak. ”

This means that there is a big talking tree in the mountain, in fact, it is not that the big tree can really speak, but because there is a goblin called "Yunyang" hidden in it, as long as you can accurately call the name of "Yunyang", everything will be fine, otherwise......

It is not written in the record what happens if the name of the big tree cannot be called, and Wu Liang naturally has no way of knowing.

Moreover, it is a Taoist classic compiled by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, something written after the Sima family usurped Wei......

The reason why Wu Liang knew was because he had seen it.

And Yu Ji of this era obviously did not have the opportunity to see the later generations, but he was able to say this kind of strange tree like "Yunyang", doesn't this mean that this kind of strange tree has been recorded very early, but later generations have not found relevant ancient books?

But this still does not prove that the big tree in front of you is "Yunyang".

Although it was indeed weird enough and very creepy, it didn't speak.

Of course, Wu Liang didn't really believe that a tree could really speak, as for the goblin's words...... After seeing the "Xuan" in the tomb of King Liang Xiao, Wu Liang naturally did not dare to completely deny the existence of such a thing.

But.

The strange tree doesn't seem to be as ferocious as it seems.

Because Yang Wanli and the soldier had already laid down like a dish, but its roots had not moved at all, and everything around them was still so harmonious and calm.

Looking at the corpses that had turned into dried corpses, there was no trace of torture......

"Yunyang! Yunyang! The old man knows that you are doing the trick, Yunyang? ”

With such a guess, Yu Ji strengthened his courage and began to call directly.

“……”

The tree did not change in any way because of his call, and the roots were as motionless as ordinary roots.
