"Bah chi...ba chi..."

Walking on the mud, every step is accompanied by wet and sticky movement, and every time you lift your feet, you need to fight against the suction force of the mud on the board.

Wu Liang had a very difficult time walking.

After only walking twenty or thirty meters, his legs were already feeling obviously tired, so that he simply resorted to laziness, without lifting his feet, and just rubbed the wooden board under his feet on the mud step by step.

slide.

Looking back at Dian Wei.

Wu Liang couldn't help but feel envious. Although this guy couldn't walk on flat ground in this mud, it was obviously much easier than him... This guy's physical fitness was really strong. It couldn't be compared. No wonder Dianwei was a long-term worker back then.

Sometimes, the host's wife is willing to pay the bills.

It took half an hour like this before Wu Liangcai finally crossed the distance of a hundred meters.

At this moment, he was out of breath and just wanted to find a place to sit down and have a good rest. Unfortunately, there was no place for him to rest behind the muddy river bed.

Dian Wei, on the other hand, remained calm and stood aside, looking around with a serious look on his face.

After taking a slight breath, Wu Liang persisted and began to carefully explore the dragon-locking pillar in front of him.

When I stood on the island in the middle of the river and looked down at it, although I could see that the Dragon Locking Pillar was not small in size, I did not feel how majestic and tall it was. But now when I stood under the Dragon Locking Pillar and looked up, this feeling came out immediately.

Already.

Just like what I saw before.

The column of the Suolong Column facing the lower reaches of the river is currently wrapped in a thick layer of slippery material similar to a mixture of algae and silt. The original appearance cannot be seen clearly, but the column that faces the river still has this wetness.

There is obviously much less slippery material, and it is not difficult to see the condition of the column surface.

There is indeed something engraved on the surface of the Dragon Lock Pillar.

The first thing Wu Liang saw was a large cloud pattern located at the bottom of the Locking Dragon Pillar. To be precise, this should be the cloud tail pattern, which is the edge pattern of the cloud pattern.

Looking up slowly, Wu Liang saw a huge tail among the cloud patterns.

This tail looks like a fish's tail, with fish-like scales distributed on it, but if you look up along the tail, you will find that it is as slender as a snake.

Continuing to look up, a pair of sharp claws like eagle claws appeared...

dragon!

This must be the legendary dragon!

Although very few people have actually seen a dragon in this era or in later generations, and even the dragon was once regarded as a made-up mythical totem, for everyone in the Celestial Dynasty, the image of the dragon has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they can be picked up casually.

Anyone can draw a dragon neatly. Whether the drawing is good or not is another matter, but there will definitely be no mistakes in the relevant main features.

Wu Liang continued to look up along the dragon-locking pillar, and the image of a dragon surrounding the dragon-locking pillar came into view.

The antlers are like a deer, the head is like a camel, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, the scales are like a fish, the claws are like an eagle, and the ears are like an ox... There are some slight discrepancies in the details, but this is definitely the image of the legendary dragon. There is no other image in the world.

I can't find anything with such characteristics.

But in addition to these, this dragon also has an extra pair of wings.

Therefore, it should be Yinglong, and it must be the restored image of the Yinglong skeleton that Wu Liang and others had seen before. Compared with that Yinglong skeleton, the image on this dragon-locking pillar is naturally more majestic and majestic.

However, the sense of oppression brought by the Yinglong Skeleton is stronger. It is a sense of oppression that is closely related to death!

Continue to look upward.

At the upper end of this locking dragon pillar, there is still a large cloud pattern, but the difference is that there are four protruding things at the end of the cloud pattern, which look like four nails driven into the locking dragon from the four directions of east, west, north and south.

The huge nails in the column form a cross, so that when viewed from only one direction, the shape of the dragon-locking column is somewhat similar to a Chinese watch.

Locking Dragon Pillar...

Wu Liang frowned slightly, somewhat confused as to the function of the dragon-locking pillar.

Why does this thing not seem to be used to cut off the earth's energy, but more like it is used to nail the Yinglong I saw before and make it permanent?

What if I stay far away and cannot go to heaven?

Moreover, this dragon-locking pillar is very different from the dragon-locking pillar that Wu Liang learned about in history books.

As far as he knew, there seemed to be related legends in ancient Taoist books. Although in the description of ancient Taoist books, the Suolong Pillar was also a stone pillar with cloud patterns and dragon reliefs on it, it should be a divine dragon in the traditional sense.

, and not the giant dragon Wu Liang saw now.

Moreover, there are no settings that look like four huge nails on the Dragon Locking Pillar in ancient Taoist books.

There seems to be an existing dragon-locking pillar in later generations.

However, the dragon-locking pillar is located in the Shu region in the southwest of the Celestial Dynasty. Legend has it that when Dayu was controlling floods in the Cuokai Gorge area of ​​Wushan Mountain, there were twelve dragons that were stubborn and unyielding, endangering living beings and making the floods bigger and bigger. Later, these dragons were killed by the Great Yu

Yu captured him, locked him on a stone pillar, and beheaded him. From then on, the mountain where he killed the dragon was called the Dragon-Slaying Platform, and the huge stone pillar next to the Dragon-Slaying Platform was the Dragon-Slaying Pillar.

However, there is a huge difference between that Suolong Pillar and this Suolong Zhu.

Wu Liang once traveled and saw that the Suolong Pillar in Wushan was just a naturally formed and isolated stone pillar without any carvings or traces of artificial carving.

Come to think of it, the related legends and stories are just made up by people.

With these in mind.

Wu Liang stretched out his hand with leather gloves and peeled off the layer of mud covering the dragon-locking pillar, and finally saw the essence of the dragon-locking pillar.

Preliminary observation shows that the material used for this locking dragon pillar should be relatively common sandstone.

The surface of this kind of rock is rough, and its structure is not as stable as marble and granite. It is more susceptible to erosion by wind and water, but it is easier to carve and shape.

Of course, nothing is absolute, and sandstone produced in some special environments is still very strong.

The sandstone used in the locking dragon pillar in front of us is a relatively solid type. Otherwise, even if the Yellow River changed its entrance to the sea in the past ten years, it would cause greater damage to the ordinary sandstone.

At this moment, the lines on the locking dragon pillar are still very clear, but some places that should have been sharp and angular have become a bit smoother, which can be seen.

By now.

Wu Liang has initially completed the exploration of this dragon-locking pillar.

The harvest was not huge, and Wu Liang did not intend to completely clear out the dragon-locking pillar, which would definitely consume a lot of manpower, so he could only put it aside temporarily.

"Brother Dianwei, please take down the Luoyang shovel. Let's test it here."

After coming back to his senses, Wu Liang said to Dian Wei.

He had prepared the Luoyang shovel in advance before setting off, in order to verify his previous speculation that there might be an ancient tomb of a certain ethnic group here.

Dian Wei had been in the Hu army for several years and was equally familiar with the use of the Luoyang shovel.

In a short time, he had assembled the Luoyang shovel, inserted the shovel head into the soft mud, and then cooperated with Wu Liang to knock the Luoyang shovel into the ground section by section.

"What is that thing?"

Seeing this scene, Hua Tuo asked like a curious baby.

"That is also the invention of the talented brother, the only one in the world, but you don't need to know the specific function, and only the talented brother can use that thing. Even if ordinary people get it, it is just an iron that is not easy to use.

shovel."

Zhuge Liang maintained a sense of superiority and acted mysteriously.

But what he said was quite right. Only Wu Liang could distinguish the soil brought up by the Luoyang shovel. Although everyone in the Hu army often operated it by hand, they still did not master the secret.

And Wu Liang had no intention of passing on the secret. He knew better than anyone else that once this thing became popular in the late Han Dynasty, it would definitely be a disaster for the ancient tombs of the Celestial Dynasty. In later generations, it might not only be

It is no longer a question of Han tombs with nine rooms out of ten being empty, but all ancient tombs are empty.

"Wu Taishi is truly the most peculiar person I have ever seen."

Hua Tuo did not inquire deeply about this issue. He just sighed, "Being able to come up with so many inventions and creations that are unique in the world... I would like to take the liberty to ask.

I’m asking a vague question, I’m afraid Wu Taishi is not just a Taishi Ling? I’m afraid you are not ordinary officers and soldiers, right?”

"What do you mean by this?"

Zhuge Liang looked suspicious.

Everyone in the Hu army also looked at Hua Tuo cautiously. Could this guy have seen through their background and guessed what they usually do?

If so, keep an eye on him.

After he gets out, it will be up to the young master to decide whether to include him in the Hu army or to kill him and silence him...

They felt that Wu Liang would most likely incorporate Hua Tuo into the Hu army. After all, this man had just received the inheritance of "Bian Que" and his medical skills must have reached a level that no one could match. Such a person would be very useful to the Hu army.

It was useful, and Wu Liang had always loved talents, so how could he be willing to kill him?

What's more, for a long time, except for some people who cornered them and threatened their lives, Wu Liang rarely killed anyone... Of course, if he really wanted to take action, he would definitely kill them all and leave no one alive.

Down.

"I feel that you are very similar to an organization that walked the world before Emperor Wu, especially Wu Taishi. Whether it is his ability or temperament, he is almost a replica of the leader of that organization."

Hua Tuo said.

"I wonder what organization Doctor Hua is talking about?"

Yu Ji asked next.
