"Spirit Lake absorbs souls?!"

After hearing Wu Liang's words, Bai Jingjing looked surprised.

Wu Liang's previous confidentiality work was very strict. Except for Yang Wanli and others who went out to inquire about the information in advance, everyone else knew nothing about the "soul-absorbing spirit lake" incident, including Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing.

Wu Liang knew the horror of "Spiritual Lake sucking souls", and at the same time he also knew the uncertainty of "Spiritual Lake sucking souls".

Therefore, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, although he made many puzzling arrangements in advance to take precautions, he never revealed the reasons.

For example: The soldiers of the Hu army were ordered to camp on the top of a mountain two miles away from here.

Another example: When visiting the tomb, the soldiers of the Hu army were ordered to leave four fast horses, and the remaining people retreated to the mountaintop camp.

This arrangement was very different from when he robbed the tomb before, and it seemed to waste some manpower. Even if there was no one guarding the outside when entering the tomb, it would increase the possibility of accidents.

So much so that when some soldiers went back and forth between Haihunhou's tomb and the mountain camp every day, they always felt that they had gone on a wrong path in vain. A small group of people had already begun to question Wu Liang's ability to lead troops, and missed the time when Cao Zhen was a gold-touching captain.

scene.

certainly.

That is to say, if we discuss it privately, no one dares to raise objections in front of him.

Not only because they are soldiers and Wu Liang is a general, but also because Wu Liang's "cruel" nature is sometimes revealed under his gentle appearance.

Even though not many people know about the time when Yang Wanli was "intimidated" by Wu Liang, many people witnessed the "ruthlessness" that Wu Liang showed when negotiating with the tombkeepers on the outskirts of Yuancheng.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Hu army have reached a consensus in private, that is, they would rather offend Cao Zhen than Wu Liang, which is too cruel.

This is a wolf in sheep's clothing!

At this moment, Wu Liang was not on the mountain, so a few soldiers had nothing to do and privately discussed Wu Liang's recent decision:

"I don't know what Colonel Wu is thinking. Why do we have to camp here? Not only can we not rescue him in time, but we also have to travel a lot of unnecessary distance every day. It's really nonsense. If Captain Cao is still here, he will definitely not

That’s the arrangement.”

"Yes, but they are different from each other. Captain Cao was born into a noble family. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also studied a lot of art of war when he was young. But Colonel Wu... you know."

"This is life. Some people are lucky enough to transform from slaves to captains in a few months..."

"Shut up! Captain Wu was also able to arrange it behind your back?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. We just don't understand why Captain Wu arranged it like this. Your ideas are more flexible than ours. Please analyze it for us."

"This... how do I know? Anyway, remember, our army has received several salary increases in a row, all thanks to Captain Wu! Also, you didn't go to Yuancheng with the army last time, so you didn't know that Captain Wu

What he did was actually much better than Captain Cao. If I were to tell you, he almost wiped out a group of 300 men under Lu Bu without even a single blow. Then he easily resolved the conflict with the tomb keeper when he turned around. Not only did he save

The next four scouts fell into the hands of the tombkeeper, and they asked the tombkeeper to voluntarily let them go into the tomb to hunt for treasure. Do you think he is powerful?"

"real or fake?"

"Isn't this some clever trick?"

"It seems like you can still see through people's hearts?"

"When have I ever told lies? Also, I would like to give you a friendly advice... Never offend Captain Wu. If he wants to be cruel, you will definitely not be able to bear it!"

"..."

"Anyway, you guys, please listen to me. If anyone dares to talk about this in private again in the future, when Wu Xiaowei takes care of you and you have no choice but to live or die, don't blame me for not only not interceding for you, but also taking the initiative to report you.

Pick it all off yourself!"

"..."

at this time.

"Rumble..."

Along with the dull noise coming from the ground, the hill where the Hu army was stationed also shook slightly, and many soldiers stood up quickly.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. These two blows knocked my engineer shovel down, but it seems to have stopped shaking now?"

"Is it an earthquake? I heard that there is a big turtle living underground. After a long time, the big turtle wants to turn over. As long as the big fish turns over, the ground above us will tremble."

"Is there going to be nothing wrong with Lieutenant Wu? Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Have you forgotten Captain Wu's order? It's not even six hours now, and Miss Bai hasn't blown the whistle either. Don't act rashly, everyone is on standby!"

…

"Brother Dianwei!"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing were under the dry well, and immediately raised their heads and called Dian Wei.

"Master!"

Dian Wei's face appeared above the dry well.

"Quick! Pull us two up, let's leave here immediately and return to the mountain!"

Wu Liang said anxiously, while he had already tied up the climbing knot for Bai Jingjing. As for himself, after Bai Jingjing went up, he would pull the rope and Dianwei would pull it, and he could climb up easily. There was no need for such trouble.

.

"yes!"

Dian Wei has a very strong execution ability. He never asks why when he gets an order and immediately starts to carry out the order.

In just a few breaths, Bai Jingjing, who had not yet understood what was going on, was pulled up.

Then Wu Liang quickly climbed up along the rope.

Then there was no time to explain, Wu Liang immediately ran towards the horses that Dian Wei had brought over in advance, and urged loudly: "Hurry! Get on the horse! Everyone get on the horse and return to the mountain as soon as possible!"

While speaking, Wu Liang had already jumped onto the horse.

Although the remaining three people did not understand what happened, seeing that Wu Liang's look and tone were very anxious, they quickly ran over, got on their horses, and followed Wu Liang towards the hill.

It was also at this time that a few people had some time to talk.

"This... Jia! Jia! Master, why did you do this? Did you and this girl encounter something strange in the tomb?"

Yu Ji spanked the horse's butt with all his strength, and finally managed to catch up with Wu Liang. He couldn't help asking in a high-pitched voice.

"Dear! Did you feel the earthquake just now?"

Wu Liang urged the horse to get off the horse with all his strength, and turned around to ask.

"I feel it, but this level of earthquake is not enough to threaten our safety, right?"

Yu Ji said in confusion.

"Otherwise! Didn't you say before that the Feng Shui pattern here is the 'Eight Evils of the Yellow Spring'? After the tomb owner is buried, he will be protected by the Eight Evils of the Yellow Spring and protected from outside intrusion?"

Wu Liang immediately said half-truthfully, "I did some calculations when the earthquake happened just now, and the result was actually getting worse! That means that now the 'Eight Evils' may be ready to show off their power, and the sudden appearance of

The earthquake is a sign. If we don't leave as soon as possible, we will suffer disaster. You know my divination skills, and I have never made any mistakes so far, so we must leave here as soon as possible!"

In fact, Wu Liang now recalls his previous encounters in the tomb and has noticed some signs before the earthquake comes - those burial insects!

Later studies have shown that before every earthquake, there are always some animals that are more sensitive than humans in other aspects, such as rats and snakes, which can predict the earthquake in advance and escape in advance.

Even the Celestial Dynasty had already made relevant discoveries as early as the Tang Dynasty.

This record was left in "Kaiyuan Zhanjing Dijing": "The rats gathered in the imperial city thoroughfare and started to scream, causing the local area to be slaughtered to pieces."

And those burial bugs probably sensed the coming earthquake in advance, so they fled in a hurry after opening the tomb...

It's just that at that time, Wu Liang was only thinking about robbing the tomb and ignored this detail.

Moreover, what Wu Liang was afraid of was not earthquakes. History records that there were no serious earthquakes here at this time, and the terrain of his generation was vast and flat. If an earthquake were to come, it would be difficult to directly threaten their lives.

What he is afraid of is the unpredictable "carbon dioxide" hidden at the bottom of Spirit Lake, which is the so-called "Spirit Lake Soul Absorbing" incident.

Although this earthquake does not feel strong on the ground, it is very likely to break the excessive high-pressure balance at the bottom of the lake. If so, the carbon dioxide gas will spurt out of the lake like a runaway horse, thus causing another earthquake.

A "soul-sucking incident from Spirit Lake" broke out.

Must be on guard!

"Drive! Drive! Drive! Horse, run fast!"

After listening to Wu Liang's words, Yu Ji immediately seemed to be on stimulants, beating the horse harder and harder, fearing that he would die if he ran a step slower.

This old boy, who has lived for nearly ninety years, has a much stronger desire to live than the average person.

It’s true that everyone has his own ambitions.

If Wu Liang had been allowed to live to such an old age as a boy, Wu Liang would have been tired of living long ago.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

Dian Wei and Bai Jingjing also fought hard to beat the horses. If they didn't do this, they would be far away from Wu Liang and Yu Ji.

…

at the same time.

"Bo Chang Yang! Wu Sima and others have come out of the tomb and are running towards us at high speed! In addition... there seems to be something strange about the lake below!"
