"This... young master!"

The soldier immediately showed fear on his face and panic took the rope for Wu Liang to check.

The members of the Jade Army also held their breath. They had stolen many tombs before, but this was the first time this happened. How could there be no fluctuations in their hearts when they started this army in a bad way?

Liu Bei and others also showed surprise and suspicion on their faces.

Although they didn't know what was going on, Wu Liang had previously said that the function of a big rooster is to "distinguish evil". Now that the big rooster is missing directly, of course it will not be a good sign, but it is not clear what this actually means.

"Don't worry."

Wu Liang's heart was also "splied", but at this moment he was the one who could not be confused, otherwise everyone's emotions would be affected. So he said without changing his expression, "If there is really evil spirit in this tomb, this big rooster will only die and will definitely not disappear. Therefore, perhaps the tied knot was loosened, or perhaps the rope broke itself after being used for a long time."

“…”

However, these words did not completely dispel everyone's concerns. They did not respond directly, but still frowned slightly and looked at the black tomb passage not far away.

Wu Liang knew this.

Therefore, after saying this, he did not care about everyone's reactions and reached out to take the rope over and checked it carefully.

Wu Liang was also a little scared when he saw this, because there was a very neat cut at the end of the rope, which seemed to have been cut cleanly by some sharp weapon.

This is not a good phenomenon either.

Wu Liang thought of two possibilities:

One is that there may be a sharp blade or something in the tomb. When the big rooster passes by, it triggers the mechanism, causing the sharp blade to fall and cuts the rope;

Another type is that there may be some unknown thing in the tomb, just like the "门" I saw in the tomb of King Xiao of Liang before. Its sharp teeth must have the ability to bite the rope in one bite... After all, the big rooster is limited in power, and the rope used to tie it can only be thin and light, otherwise the big rooster will not be able to move freely. Therefore, the strength of the rope naturally has to be quite discounted. Not to mention evil things like "门", even an ordinary person can bite it off, but the incision will definitely not be so neat.

"How long should this rope be?"

Wu Liang looked at the soldiers and asked.

"If you go back to the young master, it should have been about eleven feet."

The soldier quickly replied.

"What about now?"

Wu Liang guessed that it would be better if the remaining ropes were still six or seven feet away.

"Seven zhang is a little more."

The soldier replied.

This further confirms that the big rooster definitely did not break free from the knot before disappearing into the tomb.

At the same time, we can also draw a conclusion that no matter what the big rooster has experienced, the place where the accident should be within a distance of more than seven meters deep into the tomb passage.

Why do you say so?

Because the remaining ropes are only more than seven feet long in total, even if the big rooster runs to the farthest place and has completely straightened the rope, the farthest thing that cuts the rope can only be at that position.

And it is not yet certain when the rope was cut off.

If the rope is cut off when it has not been straightened by the big cock, the distance will only be less than the length of the remaining rope...

"After the rooster was put in, have you always been waiting outside the tomb gate?"

Wu Liang then asked again.

It was more than seven zhang long, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, the actual length of ten zhang had not exceeded 2.5 meters. In this way, it was about twenty meters away. That is to say, no matter what happened at that time, the distance from the tomb gate would not be too far. If there was any obvious movement, it would definitely be transmitted along the tomb passage.

"If you are the young master, since he gave this rooster to the villain to manage, the villain has been raising it for nearly a year. During this period, the villain is delicious and delicious every day. In his spare time, the villain will release it from the cage and comb its feathers one by one with his hands. If anyone in our caravan has the most friendship with this rooster, besides the young master, he must be a villain."

The soldier suddenly turned red with sadness and sucked his nose, "So every time the rooster enters the cage... when he goes out to find food, the villain will definitely wait aside. The villain will wait for as long as it goes out. Even the thatched cottage is solved, and he dare not go far, for fear that it will get lost accidentally and let down the young master's trust in the villain. This time the same is true. The villain has never left the tomb gate for half a step."

“…”

Wu Liang was speechless. This guy is really enough. A simple question, why do you have to say so complicatedly?

But thinking about the question I just asked, I am afraid that the soldier understood his meaning as accountability. In order to avoid being wronged by him, he said it in such detail.

"You did a good job, I always see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart, otherwise how could I teach you this rooster to raise?"

Wu Liang smiled and relaxed for the soldier, then continued to ask, "I asked you this way, because I want to understand the situation at that time. Have you ever heard any unusual movements while guarding outside the tomb gate?"

"this……"

The soldier calmed down, frowned and recalled carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "Except for the rooster cried twice at the beginning, there was no movement afterwards."

"Understood."

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

It seems that there are no clear clues that can prove what the big rooster has encountered.

And this matter is definitely not possible to draw an accurate conclusion through inference. Now the tomb door has been open for three or four hours. The air in the tomb and the outside air should have completed the preliminary circulation exchange. Be careful that there should be no big problem when entering it...

After pondering for a while, Wu Liang finally turned around and said to Liu Bei: "Brother, I think that things have come to this point. In order to prevent the night from getting long and dreaming, we should go into the tomb as soon as possible. If there is really any problem, we can also withdraw and think of other ways as soon as possible."

"Ah? Oh!"

Liu Bei didn't know what he was thinking, but he was a little lost. He suddenly came back to his senses until he heard Wu Liang's voice and replied quickly, "My brother is right... But should I send a few warriors into it and simply investigate it? If nothing goes wrong, it wouldn't be too late for me to take risks in person. Otherwise, if my brother accidentally makes something wrong, I would be sorry?"

"I understand my kindness, but I have said before that entering the tomb is no better than other things. The warriors don't know the taboos, and I'm afraid they will commit a taboo by accident. Even if the tomb is placed in front of us, we will never be able to enter."

Wu Liang said with a serious expression again.

If you really feel at ease, Wu Liang would not take risks personally when he led the tomb robbers. He could have attracted a group of enslaves like Cao Bing did before to take the lead.

Just think about it, except for a few extremely special tombs, most of them can be flattened by such human-sea tactics, and he himself will not be in any danger. Unfortunately, the difference is that Cao Bing and Liu Bei and others are essentially different from his demands. They robbed the tomb just to make money. As for what they destroyed, what the monument was completely lost, or whether they could verify anything with their own eyes, these are not within their considerations, so it is understandable to use such a method.

"this……"

After hearing Wu Liang's words, Liu Bei suddenly looked embarrassed.

If someone accidentally violates a taboo that makes him unable to enter this tomb, then even if there is really life-saving treasure inside, it will be difficult for him to take it out again. This trip would be a useless task, which is naturally impossible.

Looking at Wu Liang so eagerly, Liu Bei asked with a little nervousness: "According to my brother's wishes, what should we do at this time?"

"This kind of place is different from the ground. The more people there are, the more likely it is to make a mistake. Big brother, second brother, third brother, you will bring a few of the most elite soldiers with me. After entering the tomb, you must listen to my orders and never make any decisions."

Wu Liang said seriously, "As for us, we will bring some magical tools that can ward off evil spirits. If there is really something wrong, please ask our elder brother and others to protect our Dharma. We will do our best to deal with it properly and will never give us a trip in vain."

"Just do as my brother wants, second and third brothers, you can pick a few elite soldiers."

Seeing that Wu Liang had made up his mind, Liu Bei nodded and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

...

Half an hour later, the preparations for entering the tomb have been completed.

Liu, Guan and Zhang brought a total of five elite soldiers. These five elite soldiers were strong and strong, including Liu, Guan and Zhang, and all eight were fully armed, which looked like they were going to fight a big battle.

Wu Liang brought back the backbone of the army, including Zhen Mi, who had just joined the gang, and brought all the magic weapons and protective props with him, and did not dare to take it lightly.

However, there is one thing Wu Liang did not carry with him - Sui Hou Zhu.

He temporarily handed the tight bag of Sui Hou Zhu to Bai Jingjing for safekeeping. Although this thing is very suitable for tomb robbery lighting, its significance and value itself make it not necessarily suitable for display in front of Liu Bei and others. It is better to be more careful.

Moreover, using torches on this trip is easier to detect the air condition in the tomb.

The two sides quickly met outside the tomb gate.

Liu Bei and others were obviously still a little nervous, their faces seemed more serious and restrained than ever before, and even their standing postures were a little stiff.

In comparison, Wu Liang and others are much more normal.

Even Zhen Mi, who had not been like the tomb robbers before, had a normal expression at the moment, at least much better than Liu Bei and others.

"Brother, I just remembered another important thing."

As soon as they met, Wu Liang called Liu Bei aside and said in his puzzled gaze, "Why don't you go to the tomb, right? You are now a villain, and your fate and fortune have been greatly affected. If you enter it, it may be easier to attract unknown things, which will also increase the danger of this trip. You must be careful."

This was when Zhen Mi was preparing just now, and only when she reminded Wu Liang in private was able to realize this problem.

Although Zhen Mi did not know that Wu Liang was the "villain" who Liu Bei committed a crime, she still reminded Wu Liang to stay away from Liu Bei after entering the tomb, otherwise if an unknown thing was caused, she might be implicated.

Wu Liang woke up instantly when he heard this.

Not!

Now that he, a "villain", is right next to Liu Bei, he almost wrote a huge word "mold" on his face. If Liu Bei is brought into the tomb in this situation, it may not be as simple as attracting unknown things, but as long as there is something dangerous in the tomb, 99% of them will not be able to escape!

By then, Liu Bei may not be a "lightning rod". It is likely to be a bright "unknown iron-sucking stone", which will cause many disasters that could have been avoided for no reason.

"Is this OK?"

Liu Bei's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

On the one hand, it is because this is his business. If he doesn't go in with him, it will be a bit unreasonable; on the other hand, he really doesn't want to go in. After all, people have the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. Now that Wu Liang said this, his mentor gave him a good step.

"This is also for the sake of my second and third brothers, so the eldest brother doesn't have to worry about it."

Wu Liang nodded with a smile.

Liu Bei felt relieved, but said helplessly: "Since that's the case, I will pray for you outside and wait for your safe return. Please be careful with the fourth brother."

...

The first part of the road was very peaceful.
