Hearing the shout, Wu Liang had to temporarily give up the strange traces he had found and take the lead in coming to Yang Wanli's side to check.

"Captain, Sima, please see, after the villain dug up the tomb beast with deer ears and antlers, he placed it behind this boulder, and covered it with these branches when he left!"

Yang Wanli pointed to a pile of dry branches and said.

The leaves on these branches have all dried up, but there is still a hint of green in between, and the broken parts of the branches look relatively fresh, indeed recently broken or cut and placed here.

But at this moment, apart from these branches behind the boulder, where is there any trace of the tomb beast?

"And here."

Yang Wanli turned around and came to a clearing not far away, and said with a nervous expression, "There have been several tomb beasts here before, and the villain can see it very clearly, but now these tomb beasts are all gone, the captain and Sima please come and see, there are still some traces of excavation on this ground, and the villain is not lying about it!" ”

Cao Yu followed the past to take a closer look, and also looked at Wu Liang and nodded: "There are indeed traces of excavation here, although it was then filled and compacted, but there are still some differences in soil quality compared with other places. ”

These traces were all obvious, and Wu Liang naturally wouldn't waste his lips and tongue in this regard, so after a little muttering, he asked, "Yang Wanli, will you steal these stone carving tomb beasts when you follow Lu Bu to rob the tomb?" ”

"Naturally not, this kind of stone statue is not valuable, we have always robbed the tomb only to take the gold treasure in the tomb, and after robbing the tomb, we will not waste manpower to refill the hole, what is the difference between this and taking off our pants and farting?"

Yang Wanli replied with a frowning face.

But before he finished speaking, Cao Yu had already slapped him on the head, and said with a weak face: "I can say whatever I ask you, where is there so much irrelevant nonsense?" ”

After scolding, he didn't forget to look at Wu Liang with sympathy.

After their army robbed the tomb, they will refill it, and the tomb of King Liang Xiao was like this last time, and it looks like that.

Wu Liang automatically ignored that sentence and continued to concentrate and analyze: "In this way, it shouldn't be Lu Bu who rushed ahead of us, and it won't be the two missing companions of Yang Wanli before, the two of them have limited strength, if they want to make money, there is no need to do this kind of thing, that is to say, there may be other people in this valley, and the purpose may not be to rob the tomb......"

As soon as they heard this, Cao Yu and Yang Wanli suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly looked around for a while before saying, "Talented and virtuous brother (Sima), who do you think it will be?" ”

"It's hard to say yet."

Wu Liang didn't make a hasty inference, but looked at Yang Wanli again and asked, "Where did you dig up that tomb beast before?" ”

"This ......"

Yang Wanli didn't quite understand what Wu Liang's question meant, but he still walked to the places where there were excavation traces and recalled them carefully, and finally pointed to a ground on the very edge, "It should be this location, the villain remembers that the tomb beast is on the very edge, and the part that is exposed is the most." ”

"Hmm."

Wu Liang nodded, turned around and said to Cao Yu, "Brother Anmin, now you can order our people to cut some wooden poles of suitable thickness next to us, and install the Luoyang shovel and sapper shovel that we carry with us, the sapper shovel is both a tool and can be used as a weapon, in case we encounter a small group of enemies, we will not be without the strength to fight." ”

"Good!"

Cao Yu immediately ordered to go.

Wu Liang took Yang Wanli back to the stone tablet again, pointed to the small black-brown dried up traces and asked, "Yang Wanli, did you see this trace when you came last time?" ”

"This ......"

Yang Wanli squatted down and looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "The last time the villain came, it was evening, and it was already late when the tomb beast was dug up, so he didn't pay attention to this detail...... Sima is really a delicate person, and the villain admires it! ”

"You don't have to come with me in the future, as long as you sincerely do things for me, I will reward you for my merits and deeds, and I will never treat you badly."

Wu Liang scolded with a smile, then took out the copper dagger from his waist, inserted it into the small black-brown dry mark and dug out a small piece of soil, and then crushed this piece of soil, reached out and twisted a little and put it under his nose and sniffed it gently.

The smell of blood!

There was already some stinking smell of blood that penetrated into his nasal cavity, choking Wu Liang couldn't help coughing twice.

But why is there blood here?

Fighting?

This possibility can be basically ruled out, and if it is a fight, there must be traces of a fight nearby.

And if someone is injured, it is absolutely impossible to leave only such a small trace of blood, let alone emit such a pungent stench, which has obviously been stored for some time, and in this dry land, the blood will soon seep into the soil, and it will not have time to stink at all.

Then there is only one other possibility: someone deliberately poured blood belts that had been stored for a while here.

As for what the purpose......

Wu Liang looked up at the wordless stele a meter away, and the location of the blood pouring was just in front of the wordless stele, which looked very much like a worship and worship ceremony.

However, as far as Wu Liang knows, under normal circumstances, the ancients sacrificed in blood, and the objects of the sacrifice were usually gods, such as the land god, the god of five grains, and no matter how bad it was, it was also ghosts such as Jiaolong Daxian and Hebo, so as to obtain blessings and blessings.

But when it comes to worshipping the dead, there is seldom any mention of blood.

"What's that?"

Yang Wanli saw Wu Liang's strange expression, and he was very curious in his heart, so he hurriedly picked up a little soil and smelled it like Wu Liang.

Hearing this, it didn't matter, Yang Wanli's eyes immediately widened, and he said with a panicked face: "Sima, it seems to be blood, blood is poured here, is it used for worship?" ”

"So what?"

Wu Liang looked at him with some puzzlement.

"Sima doesn't know, blood can only be used to worship ghosts and gods, if it is used to worship the dead, it will become an extremely vicious curse, which can make the dead trapped here and unable to die, so unless you treat an enemy with deep hatred, no one will do this."

Yang Wanli solemnly persuaded, "Sima, forgive the villain, I'm afraid we're going to come in vain this time, if this is the abode of ghosts and gods, I'm afraid we can't afford to be guilty, if this is a mausoleum, the owner of the tomb is trapped here by a fierce curse and can't die, I don't know what terrifying things have become, I'm afraid we can't afford to be even more guilty, don't venture in!" ”

"Hey! I said, where did you hear that? ”

Wu Liang frowned slightly after hearing this.

It's a long time, someone is pretending to be a ghost in front of the king of understanding!
