Chapter Twenty-Three: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

Is it because of the sound of the drums?

Wu Liang quickly remembered that when Qian was so unusual, he just beat the unknown drum and did not make other superfluous moves, and the soldiers were the same.

But why does this small drum have such an effect, and it can have a deterrent effect?

Wu Liang stroked the small drum on his chest, doubting in his heart.

Speaking of which, there is something unusual about this snare drum.

First of all, the drum surface has not been broken for hundreds of years, and even today it is as flexible as ever, which is the biggest unusualness;

Secondly, Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, has a noble status and a lot of wealth, but there is only such an "inconspicuous" funerary object in the coffin, which also shows the unusual small drum from the side.

Don't......

Wu Liang suddenly remembered the legend he had mentioned to Cao Yu before entering the tomb - the strange cow with feet on its back!

At that time, he also wanted to find out some news from Cao Yu to verify whether this rumor recorded in the "Historical Records" was indeed true, but unfortunately Cao Yu didn't read much, and he didn't even know about this rumor, so he had to give up.

Now that I think about it, is there any connection between this drum and the strange cow?

It's just that at this moment, Wu Liang didn't have extra time to speculate and analyze, seeing this situation, he immediately beat the small drum on his chest for the second time, trying to confirm the effect of the small drum.

"Boom!"

"Tss

Suddenly frightened again, he took two steps back as if he were facing a great enemy.

It's true!

This little drum can really shock the ruckus!

Although he still hasn't figured out what the reason is, this discovery is enough to make Wu Liang ecstatic, maybe this time he and none of these soldiers will have to die here!

The soldiers were also demented at the moment, they still didn't understand what was going on, why the monster that was aggressive a second ago suddenly became so honest.

"Such a good opportunity, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you run away with me quickly!"

Wu Liang hurriedly shouted, he couldn't be sure how long this shock would last, he had to seize this hard-won opportunity.

"This ......"

The soldiers were still a little puzzled, they had already made up their minds to die, and now they didn't have to die?

"Run!"

Wu Liang decisively led by example, turned around and ran.

Seeing this, the soldiers glanced at the Qian, who was hiding in the distance and did not dare to come forward, and finally came back to their senses slightly.

"Run!"

"Although I don't know what's going on, but just run, don't run in front of Wu Liang again!"

"What you say is extremely ......"

At this moment, everyone regained a glimmer of hope for life, and ran in the tomb of hope, and their steps were inexplicably much lighter.

"Babbling ——!"

There was an unwilling roar behind him.

But this time, it didn't immediately catch up, and as Wu Liang and the others went away, it gradually disappeared into the darkness behind.

……

Nearly ten minutes later.

Wu Liang and the others finally saw a firelight dozens of meters away.

Under the reflection of the firelight, two stone doors carved from white marble were clearly visible, and the thick running stone inside the door stood in the middle of the tomb, as if waiting for their return.

Outside the stone gate, there was a group of people waiting for them.

The person at the head is Cao Yu.

He had already supervised his soldiers to transport the gold in the money cellar, and seeing that Wu Liang and the others had not returned, he did not dare to easily bring these inexperienced soldiers to the tomb because of Wu Liang's previous warning, so as not to help him, so he had to personally lead a dozen soldiers to wait here.

"It's coming! Here it comes! ”

As the footsteps in the tomb got closer and closer, Cao Yu's hanging heart finally let go of a little.

At this moment, he finally saw a fire in the tomb, and then saw Wu Liang and the soldiers running, Cao Yu was already laughing, and opened his arms to greet him: "Hahaha, it's really good that the talented brothers and the generals are safe and sound." ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Liang didn't have the slightest intention of jumping into his arms, but shouted loudly: "Wait, prepare to close the door!" ”

"Closed?"

Cao Yu was a little puzzled.

Wu Liang then shouted: "Order someone to close the stone door halfway, and close the door immediately after I wait for me to go out, don't delay!" ”

Cao Yu was still puzzled in his heart, but seeing that Wu Liang's tone was extremely serious, he didn't mean to joke at all, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said to the soldier beside him: "Did you hear that?" Don't do what the talented brother says! ”

"Yes!"

More than a dozen soldiers responded, and immediately stepped forward in two groups, pushing the stone gate to a half-closed state.

After doing this, Wu Liang and the others finally arrived, and they jumped out one after another, only to hear Wu Liang shout again: "Guan!" ”

"Hey-bang!"

All the soldiers hurriedly withdrew and grabbed the stone gate together, and after a loud bang, the stone gate closed.

"Changge lends me a favor!"

Wu Liang had already turned back, and without saying a word, he snatched Changge from the hand of a soldier, and reached into the crack in the door to hook the tap stone and pull it hard.

"Bang!"

Another loud bang.

The tap stone fell in response, and hit the stone gate heavily, and the tomb of King Liang Xiao was finally sealed again.

"Talented and virtuous brother, who are you?"

Looking at Wu Liang's actions in one go, Cao Yu was even more puzzled in his heart, and then looked back at the soldiers who came out with him, and finally picked the most intuitive question, and asked suspiciously, "Talented and virtuous brother, you went to the tomb with nine people, why only six people came out with you, and the remaining three people?" ”

"They have sacrificed ......"

At this moment, Wu Liang's heart was finally settled, and his body, which had been consumed to the limit, began to regurgitate, his legs were weak and he shook twice with some weakness, and said with a pant.

"Sacrifice?"

Cao Yu frowned slightly, and was about to ask again, but he heard two noises suddenly from inside the stone gate-"Bang-dang!" ”

!?

Everyone was shocked.

Wu Liang only felt a lightness in his hand, and hurriedly used his last strength to pull out Changge, who had not yet had time to take it back.

But all that remained in his hand was a wooden handle less than two feet long, and the top cut of the wooden handle was neat and smooth, as if it had been cut off by some sharp weapon.

"Talented and virtuous brother, why is this so?"

Cao Yu was frightened, and hurriedly asked again.

"Babbling ——!"

There was another creepy scream from inside the door.

Subsequently.

"Whew! Swish! Swish! Swish! ”

The sound of scratching the door kept coming, which was more terrifying than the scream, and it made people's scalps numb and their teeth itched.

!?

Everyone was suddenly in a mess, unconsciously retreating backwards, while clenching their weapons and guarding carefully.

"Hoo ——!"

It was only at this time that Wu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed by the soreness and exhaustion that permeated his whole body, and his legs lay down uncontrollably as soon as he was weak.

Lying down...... It's so comfortable.

"Hahaha, saved......"

The six soldiers who came out with him were similar, and each of them had a smile on their faces that had survived the catastrophe, and with a smile and a smile, it was as if their whole body strength had been instantly drained, and they collapsed softly.
