As for whether the strange object dug out was "Tai Sui" and what happened in the woods that night, these are the questions Lu Bu will consider after they escape and report.

But one thing is for sure.

This time, Lu Bu was probably not sure whether there was a mausoleum in this place.

Moreover, he suffered a big loss, which was still unexplainable. Lu Bu felt that the gain outweighed the loss. He thought that he would not send anyone to this place again for a long time.

…

The incident ended with almost no bloodshed.

Except for the small group of troops who escaped, Hao Meng and Cao Xing's troops were all kidnapped by Zhai Gu and brought back to Yuancheng.

During this process, Wu Liang specially ordered Prince Chamu to pretend to be a member of the Bai family and take a few secret glances at Hao Meng and Cao Xing. Naturally, he easily discovered the aura of the "magic weapon" hidden in Hao Meng's arms.

But now that Hao Meng has fallen into Zhai Gu's hands, how to use this "magic weapon" without anyone noticing is another problem.

Wu Liang naturally did not want to deal with Zhai Gu.

After all, his identity cannot be exposed. Doing so will undoubtedly increase some unnecessary risks. There is really no need to risk himself and his brothers in the Hu army just for a magical weapon whose function is unknown.

Think about it.

Wu Liang finally couldn't come up with any foolproof method, but just when he had decided to suppress his curiosity, ignore the Lao Shizi magic weapon, repair it for a few nights, and then lead everyone to leave the Bai family and continue heading north as planned.

Bai Qiru brought back an unexpected surprise the next day.

It turned out that after being captured, some soldiers could not withstand Zhai Gu's torture and had already told Hao Meng and Cao Xing their purpose and encounter. After hearing their purpose and encounter, Zhai Gu also believed that there was no so-called mausoleum in the Valley of No Return. After all, Hao Meng

Meng and others have almost dug all over the valley. If there were any, they should have dug them out long ago.

What's more, he had no interest in the mausoleum in the first place. What interested him more was the few strange objects that seemed to be "Taisui".

Unfortunately, those pieces of "Tai Sui" were also taken away by the soldiers guarding the camp. Zhai Gu was disappointed, so he began to torture Hao Meng in an attempt to get the "Tai Sui" back.

Hao Meng could not withstand the torture, but could not tell the soldiers' escape route. In order to avoid further suffering, he took the initiative to offer the magic weapon given to him by Lu Bu to Zhai Gu, and explained the function of the magic weapon clearly.

It turns out that the magical weapon was called "Si Dan" by Lu Bu.

It was born from the gall of a one-horned sacred ox called "Si" recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Lu Bu didn't know where it came from, but he only knew that soaking it in water and taking it could cure the evil and poisonous miasma in the world.

However, the dosage must be controlled when using it, otherwise if the blister is slightly thicker, it will be a violent poison that can kill people in an instant.

When he heard the first half of the sentence, Zhai Gu was quite happy and couldn't put it down while holding the "Si Dan". But after hearing the second half of the sentence, Zhai Gu was startled again and immediately threw it aside and ordered someone to beat it.

Come to clean water and wash your hands that have touched "Si Dan" three times.

finally.

Zhai Gu felt that although "Si Dan" was good, it was not something he could control, and he was not willing to make fun of his own life, so he gave it to Bai Qiru, a doctor, to thank him for reporting the news in time. After all, he was able to capture Hao alive.

Meng and Cao Xing's team was a great achievement for him. He was thinking about how to thank Bai Qiru, so he happened to use this thing as a favor. And "Si Dan" is in the hands of Bai Qiru who understands medical theory.

If necessary, it can still be used by him, at least it shouldn't kill him if he can't control the dosage well.

So the magical weapon that Wu Liang had planned to give up, after going around in a circle like this, unexpectedly came back by some strange combination of circumstances.

The fate is really wonderful.

Wu Liang sighed in his heart while carefully looking at the "Si Dan" contained in the wooden box.

I saw that its surface was as rough as sand and gravel, and its shape and size resembled a pigeon egg. It was a relatively dull brown-yellow color. If you got closer, you could smell a slightly bitter fragrance...

Why does this thing look so much like a bezoar?

Moreover, as far as Wu Liang knows, bezoars are taken from the stones that naturally occur in the gallbladder of cattle. However, the origin of this "Si Dan" is also from the "Si" gallbladder. I always feel that this is not just a coincidence.

in addition.

The record about "Si" in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is: "Si is located east of Shun's burial, south of the Xiang River. It looks like an ox, black and has one horn."

The "one-horned sacred cow" is very consistent with the characteristics of an animal. Therefore, many experts in later generations have speculated that this "Si" may refer to the rhinoceros of later generations. Moreover, wild rhinos did exist before the Chinese dynasty, but the value of the rhinoceros horns was far away.
