Then Zuo Ci added with a smile: "The reason Zhang Liang and Yan Lu believed that the secret method of 'immortality' was hidden here was just because words with similar meanings appeared in the oracle bone documents, and laymen like them didn't know much about it.

These words created misunderstandings, hence the misunderstanding."

Zuo Ci's smile was enough to prove that Wu Liang had succeeded in bluffing.

But there was something hidden in this secret realm, but he didn't say it clearly.

Wu Liang really wanted to ask.

But at this point, he thought it was best not to continue asking questions, otherwise the persona he had finally built up in front of Zuo Ci would collapse.

In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this issue.

Now that he has taken control of the situation, he must enter the stone room to check it out in person. Even if Zuo Ci gives an answer now, he may not be able to believe it without reservation and will still only believe his own eyes.

Just when I was thinking about it.

"But now that Mr. Wu has controlled Zhang Liang, he has naturally grasped the chance of survival. If Mr. Wu just wants to escape unscathed, the problem should not be big. But from what I see now, Mr. Wu seems to still intend to take risks.

Go to that stone room to check, so I can understand that Mr. Wu is still somewhat interested in the things hidden in this secret place, right?"

Zuo Ci then asked with his eyes closed.

"It's better to say it's curiosity than interest."

Wu Liang nodded generously and said with a smile, "If I hadn't encountered it, I wouldn't have said anything. Now not only have I encountered this matter, but I have also been involved in this place. If I didn't go in and see it with my own eyes, wouldn't it be wrong?

Have you wasted all your efforts these days? And... Master Zuo Xian may have misunderstood. I only said that I was not interested in the secret method of immortality, but I never said that I was not interested in this secret realm."

"What do you mean, Mr. Wu?"

Zuo Ci had a look of confusion on his face.

"To be honest with Master Zuo, I actually have my own pursuits and ambitions. I have always regarded Sima Zichang (Sima Qian) as a role model in life."

Wu Liang suddenly said something that sounded completely unrelated to the current topic.

Zuo Ci was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked with a very strange mind: "Master Wu... could it be that he wants to be a eunuch?"

"???"

Wu Liang almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Although it is true that Sima Qian was corrupted and became an eunuch during his lifetime, when anyone hears that someone regards Sima Qian as an idol, their first reaction should definitely not be that they want to be an eunuch, right?

What's more, Sima Qian's experience and achievements are well known to the world. Even the illiterate people of the Eastern Han Dynasty can tell some allusions. Zuo Ci can tell that Sima Qian is a eunuch, so naturally it is impossible for him to know nothing about Sima Qian's experience and achievements.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Wu, please forgive me."

Zuo Ci saw that Wu Liang's expression seemed to be very happy at this moment, and he saluted with a smile on his face without sincerity, "I just suddenly thought it would be more interesting to say this, so I blurted out, just to make Bo Jun smile, Mr. Wu

Don’t take it to heart.”

"..."

Bad joke?

Wu Liangzhong was really angry and funny.

He had lived in Zhang Mansion for such a long time before. Although there was basically no verbal communication between the two parties, he could often see Zuo Ci sunbathing in the yard. Coupled with his understanding of Zuo Ci's life in historical materials, he had always felt that this was the case.

He is a mature, steady, unsmiling, and unpredictable expert.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Ci told him this kind of cold joke that was not advanced at all before he had even gotten to know each other well. It was really beyond his expectation...

"Uh... Mr. Wu, do you find it boring?"

Seeing that Wu Liang did not laugh with him, Zuo Ci finally noticed a hint of embarrassment, so he had to clear his throat and put on his previous serious look, and said, "Ahem, actually I can probably understand what Mr. Wu meant. Wu

Young master, you probably want to tell me that your ambition is to become a historian like Sima Zichang, who 'studies the relationship between heaven and man, understands the changes in ancient and modern times, and becomes a family.' This should be correct, right?"

"What's wrong with being a eunuch?"

Wu Liang asked sternly, "A woman will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword, but if I don't have that drag, I will no longer have any desires or desires, and I will have no distractions from now on!"

"???"

This time, Zuo Ci looked confused and even more embarrassed. He smiled dryly and responded, "What Mr. Wu said makes sense, but I am superficial..."

"But if I can master the legendary 'Art in the House' and become better at my brain, then it will no longer be a hindrance, but will be of endless benefit to me."

Wu Liang then asked, "Does Master Zuo Xian know what the 'skill in the room' is?"

Wu Liang is indeed a talented person. He can calmly bring the topic back to the things he is most interested in during this trip.

Influenced by Cao Zhi's "The Theory of Debate", from the first time he saw Zuo Ci, the words "the art of the room" kept popping up in his mind, which he was bound to gain during this trip.

Target.

No matter whether Zuo Ci has mastered the "art of the room" now, or the "art of the room" is still hidden in this secret realm.

He will definitely not miss it easily.

"This... I have heard a little about it. This is indeed a rare witchcraft. Mr. Wu's foresight and insight are admirable."

Zuo Ci smiled even more awkwardly, already having a tendency to not know how to answer the call.

From Zuo Ci's current performance, Wu Liang also came to a conclusion.

There is a high probability that Zuo Ci has not yet mastered the "skills in the room", and there may not be "skills in the room" in this secret realm. Zuo Ci, who at least has some understanding of this secret realm, must not know about it.

"Pfft hahaha..."

Wu Liang suddenly laughed, "Master Zuo Xian, don't be cautious. In fact, I was joking with you, but you were the one who started the joke. You can't blame me for that."

"..."

Zuo Ci's expression suddenly became complicated again, and he looked at Wu Liang, who was laughing, with a strange expression, like a mental patient looking at another mental patient who was more seriously ill than himself.

For the first time in my life.

He was a little disgusted with his old self. People who like to tell cold jokes when they have nothing to do are really annoying. Maybe when people heard me telling cold jokes in the past, they just felt boring and uninteresting just like I heard Mr. Wu tell cold jokes now.

And out of affection, you have to laugh with me, right?

at the same time.

"this……"

Zhang Liang, who was lying beside him, was also full of questions.

More unwillingness arose in his heart. If he was brought to this stage by a talented stranger with superior intelligence and strength, he would accept his fate.

But now it seems that Wu Liang has nothing to do with such a capable person.

"No more joking, let's get down to business."

Wu Liang also felt that the joke had gone far enough. He had already learned about the "Fang Zhongshu" thing, so he finally straightened his posture and said: "Master Zuo Xian is right, my ambition is exactly

To become a historian like Sima Zichang, I have been traveling around for the first half of my life. In addition to making a living, I am also following Sima Zichang's example of visiting rivers and mountains to collect relics and ancient events, and to collect and discard old news. Therefore, for me,

What I'm really interested in is not the secret method of the rare treasure, but the story of the secret realm itself. The reason why I decided to continue venturing to the stone chamber to investigate was to find out the truth behind this secret realm and to verify what I just learned from Yan Lu.

The authenticity of the past events I heard from my mouth.”

"Master Wu has great ambitions, which I admire."

After listening to Wu Liang's words, Zuo Ci's face became serious, and he bowed his hands and saluted.

However, judging from his appearance, it seems that he does not completely believe Wu Liang. After all, this ambition is a bit ambitious, and even ambitious is somewhat vain.

"Therefore, I have one more thing to ask of Master Zuo."

Wu Liang said again.

"Young Master Wu actually needs me for something?"

Zuo Ci looked at Wu Liang, as if he didn't believe his "lofty ambition" even more.

certainly.

This is because Zuo Ci does not understand Wu Liang.

If he knew Wu Liang well enough... it would only be more difficult to believe that Wu Liang actually had such "lofty ambitions", because Wu Liang's sometimes vulgar and shameless behavior was not worthy of such "lofty ambitions".

Wu Liang did not explain much, but just handed over his hand and said: "It may be possible to find some oracle bone documents later, but unfortunately I don't know much about these oracle bone documents, and Master Zuo Xian seems to have done some research on this, so

I need to trouble Master Zuo to explain it to me."

Zuo Ci was a little surprised when he heard this, but finally nodded and said: "It's just a matter of hands, I'll do my best."

"Thank you."

Wu Liang raised his hand again.

Then he glanced at the "Ox Horn Talisman" in his hand, and then at Zhang Liang not far away.

At this moment, the pain on Zhang Liang's face was slightly less, it should be that the injury on his arm had begun to numb, but at the same time, there was a "baffled" expression on his face. Apparently, he was interested in Wu Liang's "lofty ambitions".

Not only do they not believe it, but they are also dismissive.

Thinking like this for a moment.

"Show up, little fox."
