Chapter 261 Gains, Complete Victory [Subscription Request]
"Lord Wei, it's not difficult to open this box, but you can't take out the things inside," Ling Jin said.
Dian Wei stretched out his hand and gently touched the box.
He looks rough on the surface, but he is actually very delicate.
Dian Wei also attached great importance to Mozi's things.
The box seemed to be made of solid wood, with clear wood grain and no other signs of manufacture.
Dian Wei placed his hand on the box and exerted a force to explore the internal structure of the box.
"The wood of this box is as strong as metal."
Dian Wei's hands were full of strength.
The two small doors of the box quietly opened.
The inside was surprisingly filled with the same black air as in the tomb, like a curtain covering up everything inside the box.
Dian Wei reached his hand into the black air to explore, and gradually became surprised.
"This box is empty... It's so large that I can't even touch the edge."
"We opened it several times and it was always like this. But it was definitely not empty..." Ling Jin said.
“You’re not opening the box the right way.”
Cao Cao's pair of secret armored beasts also came back with Ling Jin and Li Wufang.
Curled up into a ball, right at Cao Cao's feet.
As soon as he thought of it, the armored beast stretched out, and the armor plates all over its body trembled. It took small steps forward and quickly got into the ink box.
After a while, the armored beast came out of the box again and recited a scroll of bamboo slips.
"I know that the secret armored beast has the ability to find treasures, so when I encountered the ghost ship in the night well of Mozi's tomb before, I put the armored beast in and retrieved the Dingyin mirror. I also tried to use the armored beast on this Mogong box, but found nothing..."
Ling Jin asked, "How did Duke Wei do it?"
Cao Cao smiled.
He got it by cheating.
When I saw this box just now, the entry showed the following words:
[Baibao Mogong Box, Mozi's Library]
[His inheritance was passed on to his disciples before he passed away, but a small part of it is still left in this Mogong Library. Most of the scrolls in it are tricks that cannot be passed on, including an ancient tomb map that will reveal the secrets of the land veins of Shenzhou.]
[How to get the treasure: The inside of the box is like an attic, divided into five floors.]
One floor is vacant, and when you reach out to take something, it's always empty.
There is a hidden path inside that allows the armored beast to enter and reach the real book pavilion on the second floor, taking one item at a time. After using it, return it and you can take the next item.]
The Molou library built by Mozi was designed for easy carrying.
This box itself is a rare treasure.
If there were no hints, I don’t know how long it would take to figure out the mechanism!
Cao Cao lowered his head to look at the scroll brought out by the armored beast.
The scroll is hundreds of years old, but it is isolated from the outside world inside the box and has not been damaged.
This is the Mohist Classic, written by Mozi, with many contents in it, including "The Upper Classic, The Lower Classic, The Great Selection, and The Small Selection".
Different from the Mohist Canon that has been circulated in the world, it contains more content on non-aggression and defense at the end.
It is said that all schools of thought studied military tactics, and Mozi himself was well versed in military strategies.
He left fifteen chapters of "Preparation for the City Gate" on this scroll, four more than the eleven chapters in the regular Mojing.
The extra parts are the random notes of Mozi's occasional research on the art of attack and defense. Because they are not systematic, they have not been passed down.
At the end of the scroll, he also outlined several types of defensive arrow towers, including a discussion of some siege methods.
Cao Cao read it quickly first, closed his eyes and savored it for a moment before opening his eyes again.
His innate ability and insight is that he can draw benefits from the books of saints that others cannot see.
This Mo Gong Box is Mozi's library, and it is of great benefit to him.
Ling Jin, Li Wufang and others presented several items one after another, all of which were treasures they had just brought back from the large tomb outside.
Cao Cao checked them one by one, and found that they were all rare items. Then he talked about getting the elixir of life:
"There are treasures in Emperor Wu's tomb. Are you sure you can get them?"
"Emperor Wu!"
When they heard that the next target of the tomb raiding was Emperor Wu's tomb, both Lian Lingjin and Li Wufang were surprised.
Emperor Wu reigned for fifty-four years and achieved many things.
In his later years, he was superstitious about gods and immortals, was keen on Fengshan and suburban sacrifices, and he also relied heavily on eunuchs and spent money recklessly, which led to an increase in the number of refugees and frequent peasant uprisings.
But none of these can conceal his achievements and great talents.
The systems that have been passed down for thousands of years, and even the national territory, were all established by the Qin Emperor and Emperor Wu of Han.
Later generations simply developed on their basis.
Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi were the founders, so historians unanimously agree on their greatness.
Disturbing Emperor Wu's tomb will damage your luck and shorten your fortune and life.
Dong Zhuo sent Lu Bu to disturb Emperor Wu's tomb. At that time, some people said that since they disturbed Emperor Wu's tomb, both of them would die soon. This was exactly what they said.
"The tomb of Emperor Wu is the same as the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. It is located on the hole of the earth vein and blends with the earth's energy. It is very dangerous to dig the tomb of Emperor Wu."
Cao Cao: "But we will not enter the main tomb, we will only take specific items."
Ling Jin and Li Wufang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't involve the main tomb chamber, it would be much safer.
Starting from the second year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu recruited tens of thousands of craftsmen and corvées to build the imperial mausoleum in Maoxiang, Huaili County. It was completed in the second year of Houyuan, which took 53 years.
It costs a lot and contains countless treasures.
After Emperor Wu's death, his tomb was looted many times.
In the fourth year after his death, things from his tomb were circulating on the market.
However, even with large-scale destructive excavations, the Red Eyebrow Army was unable to dig open the main tomb chamber.
[Emperor Wu's Tomb, Tomb No. 13]
[It is the gatekeeper tomb of the mythological tomb, and there are mythological objects inside. Follow the direction map to enter the Changsheng Palace in the auxiliary room on the left side of the main tomb chamber, take the objects and leave, and do not touch the remaining treasures without permission.]
Cao Cao planned to follow the instructions in the entry and take the elixir of life and another item.
Li Wufang said: "Legend has it that Emperor Wu once got a Qilin. Another version says that he got a tree of immortality.
However, Emperor Wu waited until his old age, and the immortal tree was still just a seedling. "
"Near Emperor Wu's mausoleum, there are also the tombs of two famous generals, General Wei and General Huo. Even today, when you pass by the tombs, you can still feel the threat of war looming overhead and the murderous intent."
"What does the governor want?"
Cao Cao: "The Qilin and the Longevity Tree you mentioned are actually the same thing, called Qilin Wood.
The fruit it produces is called Qilinrui. On the trunk of the tree, with the spirit of the fruit tree, a bottle of elixir is being nurtured. Go into the tomb and take the elixir and Qilinrui.
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and a picture of a tomb fell into Ling Jin's hand.
Li Wufang looked at the tomb map and was secretly surprised.
The map is very detailed, with methods and locations of entering and exiting Emperor Wu's Mausoleum marked.
"Rest for a few days, then we can take action."
Cao Cao gave instructions and ordered Jin and Li Wufang to retreat.
Cao Cao turned his head and looked towards the window.
Yin went back to deliver the brocade and then came back.
Just now, when Cao Cao and others were talking, it lay outside the window, with its two paws on the window sill and its chin resting on its thick paws, like a melon-eating tiger, eavesdropping on the conversation in the room.
After Ling Jin and the other two left, Cao Cao waved his hand.
It immediately came in through the window.
This guy is huge, but he still maintains the agility of a cat.
Such a big figure jumped in from the window, but it gave people a very nimble feeling, and there was no sound when it landed.
It ran to Cao Cao and lay down beside him.
When Cao Cao stroked its head, it immediately showed an expression of enjoyment, squinted its big eyes, and moved closer to the person.
Cao Cao picked up a scroll on the table with one hand, and burst out laughing when he took a look at it.
"Dadian, Zhongkang, you two come in."
The two men stepped in from the door and stood in front of Cao Cao.
"This afternoon, a farmer outside the city reported to the government that they had just sold a batch of donkeys from other places, and four of them were lost in the past two days. The clerks below took a look and said they couldn't handle it, so they sent them to our front office. What does this mean? You two understand, right?"
"Leniency for confession."
Xu Chu stepped forward and said, "I stole the donkey. I am guilty. Please punish me, Governor."
Dian Wei grinned and looked very proud.
Cao Cao: "I will fine you one month's salary. During this month, your food allowance will be halved, and your meat allowance will be halved."
Dian Wei was stunned: "Maybe the governor made a mistake. It was Xu Zhongkang who stole the donkey, not me. He even admitted it himself."
"How could I not know that he took the blame for you?"
Dian Wei was stunned and asked: "What should we do then?"
Cao Cao angrily asked, "Who are you asking about what to do?"
"You two secretly made false confessions and disrespected the law. The same goes for Xu Chu. You will be fined and your food will be reduced by half."
Dian Wei immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said comfortably, "That's fine, I'll just take the punishment with him."
After driving these two funny guys out, Cao Cao called up another entry.
[In the past five years, you have personally led troops to fight 29 times, winning all of them. Your military talent has increased, and your current military talent value is 88]
This is the new annotation method given to the entry after his reputation reaches 5 million, with a comprehensive record of achievements.
Cao Cao remembered that the most powerful military strategists in history were Wu Qi and Bai Qi. They fought more than seventy recorded battles in their lifetime, a myth of being undefeated.
It was completely dark.
Cao Cao left the study and walked towards the inner house.
Yin jumped up immediately and followed behind as lightly as a cat.
When Cao Cao returned to the bedroom, Bian Mei, Diao Chan, Wen Ji and others had just left after discussing the marriage.
"Husband!"
Only Yu Qing was left in the hall.
When she saw Cao Cao, her eyes brightened up and she turned around to get something to show Cao Cao.
She was wearing a light yellow long skirt with a waistline. From behind, her long legs were round under the skirt, and full and curvy upwards.
She took back a scroll and handed it to Cao Cao: "My husband, please take a look at this, this is the wedding process, is there anything that needs to be added or deleted?"
Cao Cao took a quick look and saw that there were more than twenty items: "So many?"
Yu Qing raised her eyebrows, leaned closer across the low mat, and said softly, "Is it a lot? I think it's not enough!"
As the distance got closer, Cao Cao could even see each of her long eyelashes clearly.
Under the forehead as smooth as snow, the familiar peach blossom eyes were slightly rippling with spring water, and there was an intoxicating blush around the eyes. The thick eyebrows were slightly frowned, the nose was small, and the plump lips were slightly upturned.
The two have been together for five years, and time has not left even the slightest trace on her.
Her fair face was radiant with a soft glow. Maybe it was because of the blush or because the room was too hot, but her face was red, which made Cao Cao a little uneasy. He reached out and dragged her over.
"Oh, I haven't finished yet. I still have a lot to discuss with you about marriage. Don't you have plenty of time after taking a bath tonight..."
Yu Qing struggled for a few times, but finally gave in.
She stretched out one of her arms, supported the mat with her bare hands, squatted slightly with her long legs, and twisted her toes restlessly.
The night is getting darker.
Yu Qing fell into a deep sleep, but Cao Cao’s night had just begun.
Because of his true dragon physique, he is extremely energetic.
Cao Cao walked out of the bedroom with swaying steps and moved to the next battle site.
He was about to achieve a new achievement.
