Chapter 23 The aftermath of the catastrophe

Is it because of the sound of the drum?

Wu Liang quickly thought that when Jian was acting so uncharacteristically, he just beat the unknown small drum and did not make any other unnecessary actions, and the same was true for the soldiers.

But why does this small drum have such an effect and can actually act as a deterrent to dogs?

Wu Liang gently stroked the small drum on his chest, feeling confused.

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

First of all, the drum surface has not deteriorated for hundreds of years, and is even as flexible as ever. This is the most unusual thing;

Secondly, King Liu Wu of Liang Xiao had a noble status and great wealth, but only such an "inconspicuous" burial object was placed in the coffin. This also shows that the small drum is unusual.

Could it be...

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

At that time, he also wanted to find out some information from Cao Chen to verify whether the rumor recorded in "Historical Records" was true. Unfortunately, Cao Chen didn't read much and 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 that strange cow?

But at this moment, Wu Liang did not have extra time to speculate and analyze in detail. Seeing this situation, he immediately beat the snare drum on his chest for the second time, trying to confirm the efficacy of the snare drum.

"Boom!"

"grumble--"

Huan was suddenly frightened again and took two steps back as if facing a formidable enemy.

it is true!

This snare drum can really intimidate Jian!

Although he hasn't figured out the reason yet, this discovery is enough to make Wu Liang ecstatic. Maybe this time, neither he nor these soldiers will have to die!

The soldiers also looked stupid at this moment. They still don't understand what happened and why the monster that was so aggressive a second ago suddenly became so honest now.

"Why are you waiting for such a good opportunity? Why don't you quickly run away with me!"

Wu Liang yelled quickly. He was not sure how long this shock would last, and he must seize this hard-won opportunity.

"this……"

The soldiers were still a little confused. They had made up their minds to die, so why didn't they have to die now?

"run!"

Wu Liang decisively set an example, turned around and ran away.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers glanced at Jian who was hiding in the distance and did not dare to come forward, and finally came back to his senses slightly.

"Run!"

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

"What you said is absolutely true..."

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

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

From behind came the unwilling roar of Jian Na.

But this time, it did not catch up immediately. As Wu Liang and others walked away, it gradually disappeared into the darkness behind.



Nearly ten minutes later.

Wu Liang and others finally saw a light of fire dozens of meters away.

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

Outside the stone gate, a group of people were waiting eagerly.

The leader is none other than Cao Zhen.

He had already supervised his soldiers to transport the gold in the money cellar. Seeing that Wu Liang and others had not returned yet, and because of Wu Liang's previous warning, he did not dare to take these inexperienced soldiers into the tomb easily, so as not to be a disservice, so he had to do it himself

He led a dozen soldiers to wait here.

"I'm coming!"

As the footsteps in the tomb passage got closer and closer, Cao Zhen finally felt relieved.

At this moment, he finally saw a ball of fire in the tomb passage, and then saw the running figures of Wu Liang and the soldiers. Cao Zhen laughed heartily, opened his arms to welcome him: "Hahaha, my talented brother and all the generals are safe and sound.

, it’s really great.”

Unexpectedly, Wu Liang had no intention of throwing himself into his arms. Instead, he shouted loudly: "Marquis, prepare to close the door!"

"close the door?"

Cao Chen was a little puzzled.

Wu Liang then shouted: "First order someone to half-close the stone door, and then close the door immediately after I go out. Don't delay!"

Cao Zhen was still puzzled, but seeing that Wu Liang's tone was extremely serious and did not mean to be joking at all, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly said to the soldier beside him: "Did you hear that? You still don't do what the talented and wise brother said!

"

"yes!"

More than a dozen soldiers responded, and immediately divided into two groups and stepped forward to push the stone door to a semi-closed state.

After doing this, Wu Liang and others finally arrived and jumped out one after another. Wu Liang shouted again: "Close!"

"Hey-bang!"

The soldiers quickly retreated and pulled the stone door together. After a loud noise, the stone door closed.

"Lend me Chang Ge!"

Wu Liang had already turned back, and without saying a word, he snatched the Chang Ge from a soldier's hand, reached into the crack of the door, hooked the jade stone, and pulled hard.

"Bang!"

There was another loud noise.

The tapstone fell down and rested heavily on the stone gate, and the tomb of King Xiao of Liang was finally sealed again.

"Young and talented brother, what are you doing?"

Looking at Wu Liang's movements in one go, Cao Zhen was even more puzzled. He looked back at the soldiers who came out with him, and finally picked the most intuitive question and asked doubtfully, "You are a talented and wise brother, you and the nine people are together."

When you entered the tomb, why were only six people coming out with you and three others?"

"They have sacrificed..."

At this moment, Wu Liangzhong finally calmed down, and his body, which had been exhausted to the limit, began to bite back. His legs became weak and he swayed a few times, breathing heavily.

"sacrifice?"

Cao Chun frowned slightly and was about to ask again when he heard two sounds suddenly coming from inside the stone gate - "Boom - bang bang!"

!?

Everyone was shocked.

Wu Liang felt a light touch on his hand and quickly used his last strength to pull out Chang Ge before he could take it back.

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

"Young and talented brother, why are you doing this?"

Cao Chun was frightened and asked again.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

Another blood-curdling scream suddenly came from inside the door.

Later.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

The sound of venting scratching at the door kept coming, which was even more terrifying than the scream. It made people's scalp numb and their teeth itchy.

!?

Everyone immediately became confused, retreating unconsciously while clenching their weapons to take precautions.

"call--!"

It was only then that Wu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief. What followed was aches and fatigue all over his body. His legs went soft and he lay down uncontrollably.

Lying down...it's so comfortable.

"Hahaha, I'm saved..."
