Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 249 A hundred causes must bear fruit (4000)

Seeing this situation, everyone took two steps back very cautiously.

After Bai Jingjing's hearing confirmed that there was no movement in the chest cavity, and there was no further change, Wu Liangcai came to the side of the "Mu Jiaren" carefully under the protection of Dian Wei. Peek inside.

Inside the chest near the upper left, Wu Liang saw an oval leather ball the size of a fist.

The ball is held by a small metal ring and fixed on the inner wall of the chest cavity. There are many meticulous stitches at the seams of the leather. This detail is somewhat similar to later generations of softball.

However, perhaps because of the age, the sutures in some places have broken and collapsed.

Some red unknown powder leaked out of the leather ball and scattered around the ball...

"If this humanoid corpse is the wooden armored man, then these leather balls are probably the wooden armored man's heart?"

Wu Liang thought to himself.

The shape, size, and fixed position of this small leather ball are very similar to the human heart, so it is understandable for Wu Liang to have such a guess.

Besides.

Near the "heart", Wu Liang also saw two leather balls connected together and fixed on both sides of the chest cavity. These two leather balls were larger than the "heart", and the stitches on them were also There were also different degrees of cracking, and white unknown powder leaked out of it.

The shape of these two connected leather balls is no longer a standard elliptical sphere, with a pointed top and a thick bottom, and their position and size are somewhat similar to the shape of human lungs.

Therefore, it is not too difficult for Wu Liang to make such a judgment.

the most important is.

After seeing the unknown white powder leaked from the "lung", Wu Liang suddenly had a new speculation.

Although I don't know what the ingredients of these powders are, their color seems to match the attributes of the organs and five elements of traditional Chinese medicine that Wu Liang knows.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and spleen belong to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The "heart" of this Mujia man is filled with red powder, and among the five elements, red is the symbol of fire.

The "lungs" are filled with white powder, and among the five elements, white is a symbol of gold.

So can it be inferred that the organs of the Mujia people are likely to be filled in accordance with the attributes of the five elements, for example: the kidneys may use black powder that symbolizes water in the five elements?

of course.

This was only Wu Liang's preliminary inference, and the Mujia man was right in front of him, so he had every chance to further confirm his inference.

However, since the "heart" and "lung" have been cracked and damaged, it is very likely that they have lost their effectiveness.

Otherwise, according to the records in "Liezi", this "wooden armored man" has a "heart" and should be able to speak, but it has never made any sound that can be called "words" from the beginning to the end.

But its eyes can still move, and its liver may still be intact.

Just now the arm has been moved, maybe the kidney has retained a certain function.

As for the powders that leaked from the "heart" and "lungs", Wu Liang will definitely collect them in different categories. After returning home, he will study and test them carefully. If those powders are really closely related to the intelligence and power of the "Mujiaren" The inseparable relationship will definitely become one of the greatest discoveries in the archaeological world, and even in human history!

With such speculation.

Wu Liang moved closer unconsciously, and continued to look at the Mujiaren's abdominal cavity, which was still covered by a layer of bronze, through the side.

It doesn't matter.

"There are dead bodies in here?"

Wu Liang took another sharp breath.

He didn't actually see a complete corpse at this glance, but saw two extremely small feet together.

These two little feet were only about six or seven centimeters long, and all ten little toes were hooked inwards. Even though Wu Liang was a man, he thought such little feet were very cute.

However, at this moment, the skin on the little feet was a yellow-brown color that had nothing to do with life.

Under the dim light of the Suihou Pearl, this layer of yellowish-brown skin looks somewhat similar to those corpses that were used to raise "bugs" seen before, but it is more crystal clear than those corpses, and it can even be said to be The translucent state is a bit similar to the colored glass of later generations...

"What corpse?"

Hearing Wu Liang's words, everyone couldn't help becoming nervous again.

But thinking that the abdominal cavity of this "wooden armor man" is so big, and Wu Liang has already stated that it is a corpse, the fear in his heart is naturally not as great as before, but the curiosity in his heart has the upper hand, and he slowly gathers up.

"It looks like it might be a baby's corpse. Brother Zixiu, Dianwei, please help me carefully remove the bronze plate on the abdominal cavity, then you can have a panoramic view of the situation inside."

Wu Liang glanced inside again with the faint light of the Suihou Pearl, and saw that there were no foreign objects or mechanisms that were particularly noteworthy, and the bronze plates on the abdominal cavity seemed to be the same as those on the chest cavity, but they were relatively easy to remove. The way to buckle on it, and finally said with a heavy tone.

the most important is.

Through the crystal clear skin of those little feet, Wu Liang didn't see anything similar to gnats or eggs under them.

Or in other words, except for a small amount of solid matter deposited at the bottom, that layer of skin is basically an empty shell at present, which can basically rule out the possibility of gnats in the corpse, and Wu Liang is naturally relieved.

"good!"

Seeing Wu Liang's calm performance this time, Cao Ang naturally wasn't as nervous as before.

Immediately responded, and walked forward together with Dian Wei, under Wu Liang's careful command, removed the layer of bronze on the abdominal cavity.

……

After a moment.

After the bronze layer on the abdominal cavity was removed one by one, the entire abdominal cavity of the wooden armor man was finally presented in front of everyone without reservation.

However, the scene in front of him made everyone at the scene frown.

"This is……"

They saw a corpse with its head down and its feet up.

The corpse was kept in a crouched posture, so it was only about [-] centimeters in length, even if it raised its head and straightened its arms and legs, it would not exceed [-] centimeters.

This is clearly the corpse of a newborn baby, at most no more than three months old, a male baby.

The seven orifices of the baby's corpse and all the holes in the body were also sealed in the same way as the corpses outside. The only difference was that there was a wound in the chest cavity of the baby's corpse from top to bottom to the navel. It is tightly stitched with gold thread to keep it in a complete state.

Also at this time.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the baby's corpse was just an empty shell, and the faint light of the Suihou Pearl could illuminate the scene inside through this almost transparent yellow-brown shell.

In addition to a layer of foreign matter resembling dried silt at the bottom of the shell, they also saw some severely desiccated bones.

The color of these bones is not pure white, but there is no sign of dark poisoning, but it is slightly yellowed, and many holes have appeared on it, which looks very crispy. The whole state is somewhat similar to the puffed food that is common in later generations, as if It shatters with a slight twist.

The most important thing is that these remaining dry bones are not the bones of a baby at first glance.

Even though most of the bones have long been broken, and some have even turned into broken bone stubble, the original length and thickness can still be roughly inferred. It is definitely not a bone that a baby can grow into, but an adult bone.

In particular, the skull with only half of it left, and the few teeth attached to the skull that only adults can grow, can explain the problem very well.

Besides.

These bones are almost all gathered in the abdominal cavity of the baby's corpse, even the half of the skull is the same, as if all the bones have been messed up and piled up randomly in a container, there is no rule at all.

"These dead bones are probably not the bones of the baby's body, and the baby probably didn't die normally, let alone be buried normally."

Wu Liang said his inference in a low voice.

If it died normally and was buried normally, the bones of the corpse would definitely be arranged according to the posture of the corpse, instead of being randomly piled up in the abdominal cavity like firewood as it is now.

Not to mention, there was no way that those remaining dry bones could be connected with a baby who was less than three months old.

"Young master means..."

Yu Ji seemed to have understood what Wu Liang meant, and said while stroking his beard and frowning.

"The nature of this baby's corpse is very likely to be the last coffin of Duke Qi Ai."

Wu Liang took a long breath and said solemnly, "The skin condition of this baby's corpse is very similar to the corpses outside that kept worms, and the sealing method is exactly the same. From this, it can be inferred that this baby died of worms most likely. technique."

"After the human body has been subjected to sputum surgery, all the tissues in the body will be quickly eaten up by scorpions, and the skin will quickly dry up, and eventually become as hard as bark and stone shells, forming a relatively closed space for scorpion eggs. Dormant, if the worms and eggs in the body are cleaned out at this time, such a complete empty shell can be formed."

"We all know that Qi Ai Gong died by cooking. His body must have been cooked into meat soup. In the end, only the bones may be left. If the cooking time is long enough and the heat is strong enough, even the bones will be destroyed. If it is damaged, it is impossible to sort it out and bury it completely, so a container is needed to place it."

"Since this container is not the shell of the wooden man outside, then this is the most likely possibility."

"in addition."

"Look at the position and posture of this baby's dead body. These are the organs where people give birth to the next generation, and this baby's dead body is head down and feet up, just like it will be when it is about to be born."

"This situation symbolizes the rebirth of a person. Pouring the remains of Qi Aigong's bones and meat soup into it is also very in line with the expectations of Qi Aigong's family. Since they can't leave the whole body for Qi Aigong, they hope that Qi Aigong will borrow another one. This form of reincarnation, to obtain a new life."

"In this way, the sutured wound on the abdominal cavity of the baby's corpse and the messy remains that obviously belonged to adults can be explained."

"..."

Hearing this, hatred appeared on everyone's faces.

"The old man thought so too, but before seeing the baby's corpse, the old man never thought that someone would hit such a young and innocent baby with such cruel methods in order to bury a dead person. It’s completely devoid of conscience, it’s extremely hateful!”

Yu Ji gritted his teeth and scolded, an old hand stroking his beard was clenched anxiously, making people worry that he might accidentally tear off that little tuft of goatee.

"When the robbery of this tomb is over, I will order people to crush the remains of Duke Ai of Qi into ashes, and then burn this ruined tomb to the ground. I want to see how he can regain his life!"

Cao Ang also cursed fiercely.

Although he has many lives in his hands in this troubled world, there may not be innocent people among them, but seeing such a terrifying and inhumane method at this moment, it is also difficult to be calm, and even more excited than Yu Ji.

"Squeak..."

"Gaba..."

Even Bai Jingjing, Dian Wei, and the personal guard gnashed their teeth and clenched their fists at the same time.

"Everyone, don't be angry. As the saying goes, every cause must have its fruit, and his retribution is us. Just imagine how many ancient tombs have been left in the world. Why the tomb of Duke Ai of Qi was patronized by our army? This may be a kind of God's will. "

Although Wu Liang also felt that this kind of burial was not something humans did, it was unnecessary to completely destroy the mausoleum because of his emotions, and it would not help the baby, so he turned his head and said in relief for them, "Now we Not only did he open his coffin, but he also took away his burial companions, he suffered a tragic death by cooking, and we robbed his tomb, the good times in the future may come to an end, isn't this a kind of retribution?"

"My virtuous brother's words are very true. It's not that he won't repay, but before the time comes, we will be his retribution, and he should have this calamity!"

After hearing Wu Liang's words, Cao Ang's complexion finally looked better, he exhaled a long breath, and nodded heavily thinking it was right.

"Speaking of which, what our Tuan army does is not necessarily bad, sometimes it is to obey the destiny and do justice for the heaven!"

Yu Ji was even a little proud and straightened his stooped body, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"exactly."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, seeing that everyone's emotions had dissipated a lot, and they shouldn't do anything impulsive, so he turned back and continued to check.

Around the baby's body, there were still several small leather balls imprisoned.

The location and shape of these leather balls are somewhat similar to the organs in the human body.

The leather ball similar to the spleen also cracked, and some yellow powder leaked out of it.

Yellow is a symbol of earth among the five elements.

The leather ball similar to the kidney also only had a tiny crack, and only a little bit of black powder leaked out.

Among the five elements, black is the symbol of water.

And the only larger globule that didn't rupture was undoubtedly the liver.

Inferred from this, the powder contained in the liver, if nothing else, must be the green color representing wood!
