Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 290 Diamond Diamond! (4000)

"The old man can understand the word 'disgusting', but the words 'diamond' and 'like meeting' confuse the old man...Do you know what this means?"

Yu Ji had already approached curiously, and after seeing the words on the box clearly, his face showed doubts, and he looked at Wu Liang eagerly and asked.

Wu Liang naturally knew what "disgusting impeachment" meant.

This is a kind of alchemy, or a type of alchemy.

If it is necessary to find a synonym for this kind of alchemy that is easier for future generations to understand, Wu Liang would like to call it the ancient oriental "white magic".

Because the "art of disgust" is a kind of alchemy specially used to deal with ancient sorcery.

However, if it is classified from the level of methods and methods, the ancient oriental "white magic" should be divided into two categories, one category is called "the art of disgust", and the other category should be called "the art of prayer".

"The Art of Prayer" is a relatively mild defensive alchemy.

Praying for blessings, eliminating disasters for disasters.

That is to say, by holding sacrificial activities, using dance, language and other methods while offering contributions, asking for blessings from the heavens, so as to save oneself from disasters, so as to achieve the purpose of resisting the scourge of magic.

The "art of disgust" is just the opposite.

As the saying goes, "The best defense is an offense."

The "art of impeachment" often uses active deterrence or aggressive methods to directly suppress and eliminate scourges or hostile forces, so as to achieve the goal of self-preservation.

of course.

This is not to say that the "art of disgust" is better than the "art of praying for relief". In fact, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. place to replace.

such as:

The "art of prayer" can pray for blessings and disasters for a region or an ethnic group, but the "art of disgust" cannot do it.

However, the "art of disgust" can directly restrain or even eliminate the evil or the individuals and organizations that use evil to harm people, so as to achieve the effect of never suffering future troubles. The "art of prayer" cannot do it, and can only choose to be passive defense.

If you want to compare in a way that most gamers in the future can understand:
That is, "The Art of Prayer" is a group skill, while "The Art of Disgust" is a single skill.

"The Art of Prayer" is a gain-type skill that specializes in defense, while "The Art of Disgust" is an output-type skill that turns defense into offense.

Everyone thinks differently.

If Wu Liang were to choose, he would definitely be more interested in the "art of disgust and impeachment". He likes the way of doing things with an eye for an eye and an eye for an eye.

"The technique of praying for relief" is more suitable for the kind of saint who "cuts the meat to feed the eagle, and sacrifices his life to feed the tiger".

Wu Liang knew that he couldn't be a saint, not even a good person, it's better not to force himself.

of course.

Just relying on the word "disgusted impeachment" could not allow Wu Liang to directly guess what was contained in the wooden box, everything had to be checked after opening the box.

As for "diamond".

As far as Wu Liang knew, it was a tool.

There is an old saying in China: "If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work."

Here is a tool commonly used by porcelain craftsmen.

When Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty studied diamonds, he found that this hard gemstone could not only cut jade, but also drill holes in jade or porcelain, so he called it "diamond".

Porcelain craftsmen usually need to drill holes in the brittle and hard porcelain when repairing porcelain, and the same is true for jade, so the old saying spreads among the people.

However, this old saying must have appeared now, and it is even less likely to appear in the Spring and Autumn Period. There was no porcelain in the Spring and Autumn Period. And using something like "diamond"...

and so.

Wu Liang had reason to suspect that the word "diamond" written on it did not refer to the kind of "diamond" he knew at all, but something that even he might not be able to understand.

Needless to say, this still didn't affect Wu Liang's interest in the wooden box with the word "Ruhe" written on it.

"Hard to say."

Wu Liang shook his head, reached into the hidden compartment, and took out the wooden box with the word "Ruhe" first.

It is a little bit overwhelming to start with, it seems that there are not small things inside.

Wu Liang looked at the wooden box carefully. There was no lock on the wooden box. Except for two small bronze hinges, it looked like a very ordinary wooden box, not like it was used to store any valuables. .

Meet everyone's curious eyes.

Wu Liang finally gently lifted the lid of the wooden box.

There was no exquisite lining inside the wooden box, only a roll of bamboo slips that seemed to be quite well preserved, and the hemp rope binding the slips was not even broken, only slightly yellowed.

"This is……"

Everyone stared intently at the bamboo slips inside the wooden box.

Influenced by Wu Liang's subtle influence, they are now more interested in the things with written records in the tomb. At least they can see many unknown histories and secrets from them, which is also very interesting. thing.

Of course, it would be even more wonderful if there is a large amount of gold and treasures in the tomb that you can ask for.

"Yu Ji, first check what's recorded here, and interpret what's in it."

Wu Liang checked it carefully again, and found that there was indeed only such a roll of bamboo slips in the wooden box, so he stood up and handed the wooden box to Yu Ji who was already looking forward to it.

Of course it wasn't that Wu Liang couldn't understand these ancient Qi characters at all.

After all, he is also a master of archaeology. If he wants to, he can at least understand 90.00% of the content as long as he squats down to identify each word.

But if you let Yu Ji, who has already studied "The History of Qi", read it, it will definitely be more efficient and save a lot of time.

Stuck in this place now.

They don't have as much time as they think.

"okay!"

Yu Ji couldn't ask for it, so he quickly took it happily, then sat on the ground and carefully spread out the bamboo slips and began to read.

……

During this period, Wu Liang was naturally not idle.

He took out the two wooden boxes with "Impeachment" and "Diamond" written on them one by one from the hidden compartment and carefully checked them.

The two wooden boxes were also not locked, and there was nothing special about them. After opening them, there were also quite well-preserved bamboo slips inside.

It's just that the two wooden boxes are slightly larger, and the bamboo slips in them have also become two volumes.

And on the outside of the bamboo slips, the words "upper" and "lower" are marked respectively, so as to divide them into volumes, so that future generations can read them in the correct order.

Wu Liang checked again carefully, and there were no other items inside.

At this moment, only the well-sealed oval clay pot remained in the dark compartment.

After checking these bamboo slips, especially before Yu Ji deciphered the slips in the "Ruhe" wooden box, Wu Liang didn't intend to take out the oval pot immediately, let alone open it rashly. mean.

He always felt that "like meeting" contained some very important information, at least he should give the owner of the tomb a chance to tell himself, and also give himself a chance.

"My lord, do you need our help?"

Yang Wanli also said that Wu Liang didn't do anything because he couldn't carry the clay pot, so he hurried over and asked.

Yang Wanli is slightly different from Dian Wei in this respect.

Dian Wei never guessed Wu Liang's meaning, or even if he guessed, he would never ask rashly. As long as Wu Liang's safety was not involved, he would just stand aside and guard silently, unless Wu Liang made a request.

This may seem a little blind, but it is definitely reassuring and reassuring.

Yang Wanli, on the other hand, is a little more tactful, which has something to do with his previous responsibilities. If he is not tactful, he will definitely not be able to do intelligence work.

In short, the two have their own characteristics. As long as they are used in the right place, they are both indispensable and important talents for the Huan army.

"No need."

Wu Liang shook his head and looked back at Yu Ji.

Yu Ji is still concentrating on deciphering the words in "RuMei", but his expression becomes more and more exciting as he looks at it, as if he has discovered something extraordinary.

Seeing this situation, Wu Liang did not bother him.

It's just a volume of bamboo slips, and if you give him a little more time, he can read it all. It's better to wait for him to read it and then translate it all. There is no rush.

Having nothing to do, Wu Liang simply sat down in the coffin and took out a roll of bamboo slips to check.

What he was looking at was the first volume of "Diamond".

Just as he unfolded the first scroll, Wu Liang first saw a picture on the front of the bamboo slips—a mouse?

This is the "mouse" occupying a total of four bamboo pieces. Although there are some gaps between the bamboo pieces, they are still connected together very coherently. The image of the "mouse" is very vivid.

The slender tail is in a slightly curved "S" shape, and the head is tilted to the right. It is lying on a black rock, and there are some lines drawn on both sides of the rock that should represent water flow...

"What is this?"

Wu Liangyue looked at this thing more and more like a mouse, with a body, a tail, and a head, but the long beards that a mouse should have were not drawn on both sides of the mouth.

With such questions in mind, Wu Liang continued to spread out the bamboo slips and look back.

Finally some text appeared later:
"Diamond diamonds are strange things, shaped like rats, with greenish-black dung color, born on rocks in the western regions hundreds of feet of water, the natives found them without water, engraved them, and they are indestructible, but they can only be broken by an antelope horn... "

WTF?

This is the "Diamond Diamond" of the Spring and Autumn Period? !

Wu Liang immediately read this paragraph carefully from beginning to end.

There were no punctuation marks in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although there were some small gaps between sentences, sometimes they were not very obvious. In addition, the ancient Qi characters needed to be carefully identified, which made Wu Liang doubt whether he had made a mistake. Or the meaning of some ancient Qi characters will be wrong.

But after reading it again, Wu Liang was still sure that he read it correctly.

"Diamond" is indeed a strange thing in the records, and it is a living creature that can shit.

The place where this strange creature lives is very strange. The bottom of the Western Regions is hundreds of feet deep. Without the aid of diving equipment, humans cannot dive to such a depth, unless they tie a stone and jump into the water...

But what surprised Wu Liang the most was that.

This kind of creature actually has the property of being invincible?
The word "englou" means engraving and chiseling in ancient China.

This passage does not explain what exactly is carved and chiseled with "diamond diamonds".

jade?Metal?wood?

Or other messy things, but it is undeniable that the Spring and Autumn Period discovered by later generations is an earlier period of handicrafts, whether it is jade, metal, or wood, some are carved or chiseled. There is no doubt about the craftsmanship of the engraving.

And the four words "invincible" gave Wu Liang a lot of room for thinking.

This thing sounds as if it is comparable to the diamond (diamond), which is recognized as the hardest gemstone in later generations, and may even be harder than diamond.

After all, even the diamonds of later generations are not "invincible".

Another detail.

It also immediately distinguished "diamond" from "diamond", making it impossible for Wu Liang to attribute it to the lack of scientific level of the ancients, which led to a deviation in understanding, so the possibility of anthropomorphic description of "diamond".

It's the phrase "It can only be broken with an antelope horn".

As we all know, "diamond" is the product of special arrangement of carbon molecules under special conditions, which means that the essence of "diamond" is carbon.

Therefore, the "diamond" is most afraid of fire, and high temperature can make it disappear.

And the weakness of "Diamond" is very miraculous, it breaks as soon as it is touched with an antelope horn, even Wu Liang can't explain the principle and phenomenon of this, but this obviously cannot be the weakness of "Diamond", And there is a very significant difference...

Just as Wu Liang was still digesting and thinking about what he had just seen about "Diamond Diamond".

"Son!"

Yu Ji suddenly cried out excitedly, and said excitedly with a red face, "Young master! We may not have to be trapped here to die, and the owner of the tomb has left a way for us to survive!"

"What did you say?"

Wu Liang immediately came back to his senses, stood up and asked with his eyes wide open.

"This volume of bamboo slips says that since we were able to come to the main tomb alive, it means that we have cracked the eight formations and the heavenly lock outside. This is enough to prove our ability, so we need to set up more traps It certainly can't stop us."

Yu Ji went on to say, "If we can still understand the mystery of Jiuquzhu, we will definitely be able to find his bones. At this point, he knows that he is doomed, so he can only admit it..."

"Since we admit defeat, why do we still need to set up these eight copper walls to trap us here? Is this a gesture of admitting defeat?"

Before the words finished, Yang Wanli couldn't help asking.

"The old man hasn't finished talking yet, so don't interrupt!"

Yu Ji rolled his eyes and scolded.
