Chapter 8 Feudal Superstition Kills People

"Ah, this ......"

Cao Yu and the soldiers were taken aback by Wu Liang's superb performance, and then their expressions gradually became flustered, and they were a little overwhelmed.

There were even a few soldiers slowly retreating, trying to escape the tomb as quickly as possible, but it wasn't too far from the tomb gate anyway, and if they did, they might have a chance to escape.

"Don't move! The ghost of the tomb owner is here, and whoever goes out first will definitely die! ”

Wu Liang immediately shouted.

The soldiers trembled, and hurriedly retreated, not daring to move again.

For a moment, the carriage room was surprisingly quiet, and only the low and rapid breathing of everyone could be heard.

A moment later.

"This ...... How about that? ”

Someone couldn't help but ask softly in a suppressed voice.

There may be some people who don't fully believe Wu Liang's words, but in this situation, absolutely no one dares to take the lead in getting out of the carriage room and being the "mortal person".

After all, more than 100 people died in this place last night, who would dare to joke with their lives?

No one was silent.

Wu Liang also deliberately pretended to be deaf, further increasing the psychological pressure of everyone.

With the help of the light of the torches, he saw that some people's sideburns had already appeared with a flash of water, which was cold sweat......

After a few more moments of silence, the expected infighting ensued:

"It's all Chen Jinshui's fault, if he hadn't listened to the warning and damaged the terracotta warriors without permission, how could there be such a thing?"

Someone finally followed Wu Liang's previous guidance and pointed the finger at the soldiers who destroyed the Terracotta Army.

"Like, do you want to kill everyone?"

"If I die here today, I will ask you for an explanation if I become a ghost!"

"As far as your hands are cheap, how can you not be so brave when you kill the enemy!"

“……”

All of a sudden, everyone's negative emotions seemed to be ignited in an instant, and they turned into words of complaint and attacked the poor soldier.

"I ...... I didn't mean to drop, I don't know......"

In the face of everyone's anger, Chen Jinshui didn't dare to say anything, and explained again and again with a wrinkled face.

"Enough!"

Cao Yu shouted at the right time to stop everyone, and after glancing at Chen Jinshui, he said coldly, "Chen Jinshui's unauthorized actions have put his comrades-in-arms in danger, this board is temporarily recorded, and others need to take warning!" ”

After stopping everyone like this, he looked at Wu Liang who was sitting on the ground again, and said in a different tone, "Wu Liang, is there no other way?" ”

"This ......"

Wu Liang raised his head and looked at Chen Jinshui with great difficulty, and then a touch of unbearability crossed his face, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"If you have something to say, you can say it."

Cao Yu said.

"Ahh

Wu Liang sighed and said helplessly, "It's not that there is no way to turn the crisis into safety, it's just that ...... As the saying goes, there is a debtor, and it is this eldest brother who damages the terracotta army, and if we sacrifice him to the owner of the tomb, it may be possible to appease the anger of the owner of the tomb. ”

As soon as they heard this, the rest of the soldiers immediately looked at Chen Jinshui with complicated eyes, and their thoughts were overflowing.

Chen Jinshui's face was already pale with fright, his legs trembled and he repeatedly told Cao Yu and the rest of the soldiers to forgive: "I didn't mean to drop, I don't dare to come nonsense anymore...... Soldiers spare their lives, brethren spare their lives! ”

Cao Yu frowned, looking like heaven and man were at war.

It can be seen that he is not willing to sacrifice his soldiers, but at this point, he has no other choice, he can't harm everyone for the sake of one person, right?

Silently observing everyone's performance, Wu Liang originally wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at the moment, but felt that his vest was cold.

The heart said that feudal superstition is really harmful.

In the era and place where the people's wisdom was not opened, how many people were burned and drowned alive by those selfish foolish people because of the nonsense of the gods and goddesses, and sacrificed to those so-called monster river gods to ensure the safety of one party?

Isn't that what we're doing now?

Fortunately, Cao Yu and these soldiers were not so confused and selfish, at least no one immediately wanted to "sacrifice" Chen Jinshui, but under his unscrupulous guidance, the fear and desire to survive in his heart were magnified, and a trace of thought flashed......

Thinking of this, Wu Liang had completely lost the interest in continuing to scare Chen Jinshui.

Now that his goal has been achieved, from now on, no one in these soldiers should dare to act on their own, and that is enough, but the show still has to be done in a full set.

So, pretending to groan slightly, Wu Liang said again: "Or...... We can also try to atone for our sins, but it depends on whether the owner of the tomb is willing to give us this opportunity. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Cao Yu hurriedly asked.

Chen Jinshui's cry for mercy also came to an abrupt end.

"I waited for a group to kneel and bow twelve, sincerely pray for the understanding of the tomb owner, if the tomb owner is willing to let us go, the matter will be revealed, but if the tomb owner refuses, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do......"

Wu Liang is a serious way.

When worshipping God, first go out with the back of your left foot and hand upward, and perform three kneeling and nine bowing;

When worshipping ghosts, first go out with the right foot and palm upward, and perform four kneeling and twelve bows.

Although Wu Liang did not know whether such a number of rituals was popular in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he pretended to be a ghost at the moment, and he had to have a sense of ritual to be more convincing, and it didn't hurt to borrow it.

Speaking of this, seeing the flickering eyes of Cao Yu and the soldiers, Wu Liang said with righteousness and awe: "After worshipping, please wait with your eldest brother for a while, and wait for me to go out first to test it, if I die inexplicably, it is the owner of the tomb who refuses to give in, at that time, you don't have to pay attention to me, quickly exit the tomb and flee for your life, it is good to have one person alive." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Yu's face immediately changed, and he vetoed loudly: "Talented and virtuous brother, this move must not be!" If you want to escape from us, how can you let you go and risk your life first? ”

At this moment, even in front of all the soldiers, Cao Yu also commensurate Wu Liang with a virtuous brother, and it can be seen that Wu Liang's words have invisibly further increased his weight and trust in Cao Yu's heart.

All the soldiers also looked at Wu Liang in an instant, and they were quite touched and said:

"Wu Liang, I heard that you were a deserter in the past, and I looked down on you from the bottom of my heart, but now it seems that those rumors must have hidden secrets, you must have some troubles, or you have been framed."

"I obey you, you are a man!"

"After today, in addition to the military in the Yuanren army, you are the person I admire the most, you deserve it!"

“……”

Even Chen Jinshui, who was frightened by Wu Liang, was not a little touched, and after hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Wu Liang, I understand your kindness, I know that you are sending me to death, but one person does things one person, I should bear it if I make a mistake, how can there be a reason for you to send me to death, to be honest, I don't want to die, but I don't want to be poked in the backbone by my brothers alive, but I admit your love, if I don't die by luck tonight, I still treat you as a life-saving benefactor!" ”

"Brother Chen, don't be so polite......"

Unexpectedly, acting in this play actually had such an effect, Wu Liang hurriedly returned the salute with a little weakness, and couldn't help but recall the bridge in a famous sketch: "He still has to thank us." "Thank you!"

"No need to fight!"

As a military candidate, Cao Yu had his own judgment in his heart, until this matter was not suitable for a long time, and immediately shouted, "Chen Jinshui listens to the order!" ”

"The subordinates are here!"

Chen Jinshui hurriedly responded.

"After kneeling and bowing twelve, you come to take the lead!"

Cao Yu asked.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Chen Jinshui clenched his fists.

"Soldiers listen to orders!"

Cao Yu said again.

"The subordinates are here!"

The crowd clasped their fists.

"From now on, what Wu Liang said is a military order, and if there is any violator, don't blame me for not caring about the situation, do you hear it clearly?"

"Subordinates take orders!"

At this time, although they were still "in danger", the voices of the people had become loud and deafening, and they were neatly one.

Wu Liangzhi secretly rejoiced in his heart, until this moment he really grasped the right to speak in this operation, and no longer needed to convey instructions through Cao Yu, let alone cause trouble for himself, which was exactly the power he needed to carry out "protective excavations" in the future.
