Chapter 161: Exploring the Ancient Tomb and Whipping the Corpse of Lu Bu

Small town, old tomb:

Lu Bu was standing on the edge of the old tomb at this time.

Since it had already been stolen and excavated by Chai Qing and others several times, a large area of collapse had formed on the surface of the entire cemetery, revealing several gaps, and the breath of death was rolling.

Lu Bu tied up his horse, found a relatively large hole, and leaned in to look inside.

Rotten air currents poured out from below, sending chills down the body.

Drawing out the halberd, Lu Bu leaned over and entered.

The cave was very wide, and at first it was even possible to walk with a hunched body, but after walking out for about ten meters, it became slightly narrower, and darkness ruled the entire passage.

Lu Bu lit the torch that had been prepared in advance.

In front was a broken stone door, heavy slabs broken in the middle and flipped on each side, rusted chains broken, and damp air gushing out of the dark burial chamber.

Lu Bu shook the halberd in front a few times to make sure there was no obstacle, and after that, entered the burial chamber.

The burial chamber is not large, the walls made of stone on both sides have long been covered with moss, and a few silk clothes from the Later Han Dynasty are thrown on the ground. Due to the passage of time, the clothes are already showing signs of decay.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Lu Bu didn't touch those clothes, just from the color and texture, he could already be sure that the owner of this tomb was definitely not a rich and noble person.

From this, it can be inferred that this is not Yuan Shu's tomb.

Lu Bu's gaze scanned the tomb, and soon, it fell to a gap in a corner.

From here there is access to another burial chamber.

Chai Qing and the others are really veterans, and they can actually find the location of the bones through the structure of the wall.

Lu Bu came in.

A foul smell came to his face, and under the reflection of the firelight, Lu Bu's heart also rose to his throat.

He saw a corpse.

After forcing himself to calm down, Lu Bu confirmed that the corpse was the one who had come in with Chai Qing in the first place.

At that time, he rescued Chai Qing from everyone, but he could only watch another guy being hacked to death by those people and falling back into the old tomb.

Lu Bu looked up, but he didn't find the bare sky above his head, which showed that this guy didn't die immediately at that time, but crawled here, probably trying to use the ancients to protect himself.

Lu Bu tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Stepping past the corpse, Lu Bu saw the tombstone that had fallen to the ground.

The handwriting on the tombstone was blurred, and the firelight was dim, so it took Lu Bu a lot of effort to barely read the name on it—Guo Li.

Lu Bu's eyes instantly erupted with anger.

Lu Bu is too familiar with Guo Li.

Although this person's name has not been left in history, as a contemporary, Lu Bu, this name is synonymous with shame and spurning.

Guo Li once served as a staff member beside Yuan Shu.

After Yuan Shu obtained the jade seal, he was the first person to encourage him to become emperor.

After Yuan Shu failed, this guy turned around and took refuge in Lu Bu's side, and once wanted to transfer his concubine to Lu Bu in order to please Lu Bu, but Lu Bu refused.

Later, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and this guy teamed up with Chen Deng and Chen Gui father and son to make internal responses for Cao Cao, and tried to attack him from behind several times, but he was recognized by himself.

What Lu Bu couldn't tolerate the most was that after he was captured, this Guo Li ran to Diao Chan and Cao Jiangxian's side, trying to do wrong, if it wasn't for the two women fighting hard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Such a villain, after his death, someone still built a tomb for him and took Zhong's bottle with him?

Lu Bu was furious, and swung his halberd and slammed it on the tombstone.

The tombstone already showed signs of weathering, and was smashed by Lu Bu's halberd, and broke from the middle in an instant.

Lu Bu was still angry, and erased all the inscriptions with a halberd.

Turning around, Lu Bu saw two coffins placed side by side on the stone steps.

Actually, it can't be called a coffin, it's just a few planks scattered on the ground, and it's rotten to the point that it doesn't look like it.

The two corpses had also been air-dried, their skins covered with criss-crossing veins, and their hands were dry like thin chicken feet on the outside of their sleeves.

Lu Buti walked to the side of the corpse.

Although he has been dead for nearly a thousand years, Lu Bu can still vaguely see what Guo Li looked like at the beginning.

The other corpse should probably be his wife, the long hair has not yet rotted, draped diagonally on the thin shoulders, and there are obvious scratches on the top of the head, perhaps left when Chai Qing and the others took away the headdress.

Lu Bu had a sneer on his face and poked Guo Li's face with a halberd.

"You capricious villain, do you still know your little Wenhou?"

Guo Li's dusty face was as hard as iron, and it was cut open by the halberd, revealing the blackened bones inside, like a big grinning mouth, smiling at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was instantly furious.

"At the beginning, you and Chen Deng, Song Limit and others designed the current city, causing Ben Hou to abandon his wife and children, and die in the White Gate Tower, but he never thought that after a thousand years, Ben Hou is still standing here dignifiedly, but your generation has become a pile of dry bones."

Poke hard.

The bones on Guo Li's face collapsed instantly, and two eyeballs that had dried up into balls rolled out of their sockets and were crushed by Lu Bu with his feet.

"If it weren't for the villains such as Chu Er to frame him, why would Ben Hou have ended up here and become a vassal of the later generations?" Lu Bu plunged his halberd into Guo Li's body, slashed it with one arm, and threw it against the wall.

The bones of the dried corpse were shattered, but the skin was still intact, and it fell to the ground, turning into a strange mass.

Lu Bu still didn't understand his hatred, and swung his halberd and slammed it on the bones dozens of times, until the corpse turned into a puddle of mud, Lu Bu stopped.

"Despicable villain, but there are also women to accompany the funeral!" Lu Bu said, striding over to the other female corpse and overturning the corpse.

was about to swing the halberd and smash it down, but Lu Bu suddenly stopped.

He saw underneath the corpse, a string of blood-red beads.

The animal leather belts that connect the beads have long since rotted into mud, but the beads still maintain the original appearance of being strung together, and even the color has not changed in the slightest, and they are still bright red and crystal clear.

With trembling hands, Lu Bu picked up one of them.

The beads are cold, like ice cubes condensed in one place in winter, small as ripe pomegranate seeds, but like a small flame burning.

Leaning next to the torch, Lu Bu clearly saw the word "Lu" engraved on the bead.

A black mist formed in front of Lu Bu's eyes.

This is one of the dowry gifts I gave to Cao Jiangxian, a total of thirty-six beads, representing that Lu Bu was thirty-six years old at that time (note: when Lu Bu was hanged in the white gatehouse, he was Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old).

The word "Lu" on it was engraved by Cao Jiangxian himself later. The shape of each word is different, which shows that Cao Jiangxian was quite attentive at that time.

Unexpectedly, after his death, this bead string also fell into Guo Li's hands, and was taken to the grave by his wife as a treasure, if it wasn't for her pressing under her body, it is estimated that it would have been taken away by Chai Qing and others.

Lu Bu hesitated, did he want to bring this love thing from a thousand years ago to Cao Jiangxian, who had become his little sister?
