Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 87
"After pulling out the silk, I suddenly discovered that what kind of silkworm god is wrapped in a giant human-shaped cocoon? It is clearly a shriveled caterpillar covered with poisonous hairs. It only looks slightly human when it is wrapped in a cocoon."

"However, the shriveled caterpillar has a piece of long black hair on the back of its head. If you only look at it from the back, it's easy for people to mistake it for a woman with fluttering hair."

"Later, the late king ordered someone to cut open the shriveled caterpillar. Seeing that it was indeed a caterpillar from the inside to the outside, he felt disappointed and resentful, so he wanted to burn it together with the stripped silk to vent his anger. The ancestors of the Yan family couldn't bear to see the silk. Turned into ashes in the fire, I begged for a long time to save a piece of precious silk, and it has been passed down as a family heirloom since then, and I have practiced the skill of flying over eaves and walls."

"Later, the late king found some documents inscribed on animal bones in the ancient tomb, which also said that the giant cocoon in human form was the silkworm god."

"It is said that more than 1400 years ago, there was a distinctive mulberry forest in the northern wilderness. Later, the mulberry forest experienced a fire. The fire burned for three years, and the tall and branchless strange mulberry trees were burned. At the end of the day, none of the silkworm gods survived, and the only remaining silkworm god left the strange mulberry tree and starved to death without eating or drinking. It has reached the verge of extinction..."

"Although the ancestors of my Bai family looked through a lot of historical documents to verify this, but since the Qin Dynasty, the remaining ancient books in the world are very limited, and only in the "Shan Hai Jing" can we find records about the silkworm god."

"But it's not completely untraceable."

"The strange mulberry tree mentioned on the animal bone was also mentioned in the "Shan Hai Jing", but it has long since disappeared. The remains of the silkworm god were witnessed by the king and my ancestors, and many characteristics are also similar to the "Shan Hai Jing". The description in Shan Hai Jing is similar, and the record of the animal bone is not only before the "Shan Hai Jing", but also more detailed than the "Shan Hai Jing", it is not difficult to judge which is true and which is false."

"I don't know what the young master thinks?"

Having said that, Bai Jingjing finally stopped, looked at Wu Liang intently and asked.

"I think the analysis of the elders of the Bai family is well-founded and convincing."

Wu Liang nodded.

To be honest, the historical documents before the Qin Dynasty discovered by later generations are indeed extremely limited, and it is obviously impossible to truly understand all the details of the world more than 2000 years ago, or even earlier, only through those limited historical documents.

Furthermore, what is recorded on that animal bone is actually the story of the extinction of two species...

In the eyes of Wu Liang, a modern person, this is completely a matter of no surprise.

After all, as far as Wu Liang knows, in 2020 alone, according to data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) global species conservation authority, in the past 10 years, 467 species in the world have been completely extinct.

In addition, there are many more species whose populations are in sharp decline and are on the verge of extinction.

Therefore, the silkworm god may really be a rare species that has long been extinct, but it has been given mythology by the "Shan Hai Jing" and some historical allusions.

"However... you first told the truth about the tomb guard, and now you mentioned the silkworm god to me, and you specifically mentioned the silkworm god Baosi. I'm afraid it's not just for telling me a story, right?"

Wu Liang leaned closer to Bai Jingjing with his butt pouted, and asked with a smile, "If I'm not wrong, the lineage of the Yan family is extinct now, and most of the silkworm silk that they passed down from generation to generation has fallen into the hands of your Bai family. Are you trying to bribe me with this silkworm silk to achieve an ulterior purpose?"

Bai Jingjing hid to the side with a look of disgust, and said seriously: "Although this silkworm silk is a treasure, it is not a thing buried by the ancestors. My Bai family is not good at martial arts, so it is not very useful."

"So, you want to exchange it for the Suihou Pearl?"

Wu Liang raised his eyebrows.

"Based on what I know about you, you are definitely not willing. Not only are you not willing, you are probably planning to go empty-handed."

Bai Jingjing rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.

"My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Miss Jingjing who knows me!"

Wu Liang looked like he hated seeing each other late.

"Therefore, I have no intention of exchanging the silkworm silk for the Suihou Pearl. I only want your promise."

Bai Jingjing looked directly into Wu Liang's eyes and said firmly.

"Miss Bai is very accurate at seeing people. I am the most trustworthy person. Others are as good as they are, and I am as valuable as I am. Miss Bai, please tell me!"

Wu Liang immediately straightened his body, his mouth was already laughing up to his ears.

"I want you to promise that if one day you can't keep the Suihou Pearl, or if you are dying, you will return the Suihou Pearl to the Bai family and teach my Bai family to return it to its original owner."

Bai Jingjing said word by word.

"Okay, I promise you, where did you hide Silkworm God Baosi?"

Wu Liang had already walked around behind Bai Jingjing and looked up and down, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find a place to hide things, so he aimed at Bai Jingjing's lower body with a look of shock.

"and also!"

Bai Jingjing ignored him and continued, "From today onwards, I will be the bead follower sent by the Bai family. Wherever Sui Houzhu goes, I will follow there until the day you fulfill your promise!"

"Miss Bai, I don't think it's necessary? You're still young, and you still have a lot of time. Why don't you waste your life for a small bead?" ?”

Wu Liang raised his head and asked, "Don't worry, when I really can't keep Suihou Zhu, I will definitely send it back to you."

"The daughters of the Bai family never marry. This is the ancestral motto of the Bai family."

Bai Jingjing said with a blank face.

"No, have you ever heard of a saying called 'good people don't live long, evil people live a thousand years', people like me, you can't survive me, you must die before me."

Wu Liang frowned.

"You know yourself a little bit, but the Bai family will send a new bead follower to replace me, so don't worry about it."

Bai Jingjing said.

"Is it worth it for you?"

Wu Liang finally became serious.

"It's not worth it or not. This is the life of the Bai family and mine."

But Bai Jingjing stopped looking at him, turned around and walked out of the tent, whispering, "Remember to inform me when you leave, I will bring Silkworm God Baosi to see you."

"You will regret it if you follow me. I'm not a good person, don't say that I didn't predict it!"

Looking at her chic back, Wu Liang warned in advance.

"Don't worry, I will bring a pair of scissors with me, don't say that I am unpredictable!"

Bai Jingjing said without turning her head.

It can be seen that she is in a good mood at the moment.

Perhaps it was because this was the first time since she met Wu Liang that she was not led by the nose?

But in fact, this decision has already been carefully considered by Bai Jingjing.

She knows better than anyone else that even if Wu Liang returns Suihou Zhu now, her fate will not change in any way, and the Bai family is the same, they are still guarding a hopeless tomb like a cold tool from generation to generation.

But now because of Wu Liang, her life finally has a slightly different color.
