Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 332 I Curse You! (4000)

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wu Liang immediately beat the mysterious small drum to suppress it.

This time the sound of the mysterious snare drum was still effective, and the knocking sound disappeared immediately.

But Wu Liang was already faintly worried.

Because he could clearly feel that the knocking sound was obviously much faster and denser than before, that is to say, the things in the vertical burial coffin were gradually becoming more and more manic, which was not a good sign.

After all, both the coffins and the iron chains that bound the coffins have gone through hundreds of years, and God knows how long they can last.

the most important is.

The things in the vertical burial coffin seem to be able to sense their every move and react differently, and being in such an increasingly manic unknown evil, I always feel that I am dancing on the tip of a needle now, in a place full of Swimming in the creek of piranhas, really no one can achieve peace of mind.

"Young Master, this old man thinks it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. No matter what you want to do, it's best to fight quickly..."

Yu Ji was even more worried than Wu Liang, and said with a trembling voice.

"Ah."

Wu Liang nodded.

He felt the same way, but there were some things that could not be rushed.

Just like now, the brass coffin suspected to be Lu Ban's "machine seal" is not far away. Although he wanted to open it immediately to check it, he had to be patient and figure out the situation before making a decision.

In particular, one must first figure out what is going on with the opened vertical burial coffin in front of him.

After all, this thing has a lot to do with other vertical burial coffins, maybe you can use it to understand the contents of other vertical burial coffins, instead of just crossing the river by feeling the stones like now, and it's full of piranhas the river.

And here's a detail.

Wu Liang felt that it was necessary to study it carefully.

The method of opening this vertical coffin, especially the groove dug in the direction of the coffin lid, seems to be artificial at first glance, and it is absolutely impossible for something to forcibly break the coffin from the inside out.

Besides.

The coffin and coffin lid are also well preserved, without any signs of damage, but there are some shallow scratches inside the coffin and coffin lid.

These scratches...

"Dianwei, protect me, I'll go down and have a look."

Wu Liang was also bold. Seeing that the inside of the coffin was empty and there was nothing strange in the ditch, he jumped into the ditch and approached the coffin to check.

"Wu Youcai... be careful!"

Seeing this, Bai Jingjing couldn't help screaming, but in the end she didn't stop Wu Liang.

"..."

Everyone held their breath and watched Wu Liang's every move quietly.

Wu Liang first came to lie flat on the coffin lid in the ditch, and squatted down to check the scratches left on it.

These scratches are very messy, but they are basically composed of four almost parallel lines, which are somewhat similar to human hands. After all, although humans have five fingers, when they really want to scratch, only four fingers can be used. .

And it can be seen that the nails that caused these scratches were not very sharp, otherwise these scratches could not be so shallow, nor would they be so wide.

This is also somewhat similar to the human hand.

After all, normal people don't keep sharp nails, which not only does not help life, but also causes a lot of trouble.

The only difference is the color of the scratches.

Some scratches are darker in color and some are lighter in color.

This is definitely not caused by the problem of the wood, otherwise it would be impossible for only the scratches to have different colors... Until Wu Liang saw something, he finally had a guess about the reason for the different colors of the scratches.

He saw a small curved flake at the end of a darker scratch.

This small flake is embedded in the wood of the coffin lid, which looks brittle and hard.

Wu Liang couldn't figure out what it was for the time being. In order not to accidentally destroy it, he didn't dare to touch it with his hands, so he took out a copper dagger and dug up the wood around the small piece to find out.

Fortunately, this small flake is not embedded deeply.

After digging a few times in this way, small flakes have fallen out of the wood.

Wu Liang saw the complete appearance of the small flake this time... It seems to be a nail that fell off by a person!
And judging from the size of the flakes, it should be the fingernails of a child younger than Huang Yueying!

The answer is ready to come out.

Those scratches were probably scratched by the children who were beaten into the "extinct pile" and put into the coffin alive. The difference in the color of the scratches is most likely due to the contamination of the children's finger scratches when they scratched desperately. , Pick off the blood from the nails!
"..."

Wu Liang suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest, he wanted to vomit but couldn't, and he wanted to swallow but couldn't swallow.

He can fully imagine the scene at that time, not to mention that there are several foreign movies about the "buried alive perspective" in later generations, so that he can feel a living person locked in a coffin without even opening his brain. The kind of despair and depression that is buried in the ground is called every day should not be called the ground is not working.

But now is obviously not the time to substitute this feeling.

Wu Liang took a few deep breaths and finally felt a little more comfortable, so he stepped on the coffin lid and continued to check inside the coffin.

There is no lining inside the coffin, nor is it painted, it is directly the color of the wood itself.

There are still some scratches of various shades of color on it, but they are slightly less than those on the coffin lid. This is a normal phenomenon. If anyone is put into the coffin, they will pay more attention On the coffin lid, because that's the most likely direction of escape.

And beyond those scratches.

Wu Liang also found some mottled traces that were slightly darker than the wood itself, but now even inside the coffin, a layer of dust has fallen, covering up these traces, making them inconspicuous.

Naturally, Wu Liang would not let go of any clues.

He first took out the gas mask he carried with him, then took a deep breath, and blew heavily on the places where traces were seen.

For a while, smoke and dust filled the coffin.

While stepping back, Wu Liang put the gas mask on his mouth and nose to prevent inhalation of the smoke.

Naturally, taking a breath is not enough.

After doing the same thing several times, and then wiping off the remaining smoke and dust with a silk cloth, the mottled dark traces inside the coffin were finally fully revealed.

But still not too clear.

Moreover, these traces are very messy, with strokes here and there, crooked and no typesetting, it is still difficult to understand the meaning.

However, given the color of these dark marks, it is not too different from the color of those dark scratches.

Wu Liang had reason to suspect that these things were probably also written with blood.

If so.

Then it must be to express some meaning, but Wu Liang carefully identified it, and he could only vaguely see a very non-standard word "Wu" from these traces.

Therefore, these traces are likely to be words.

"Yu Ji, come down and help me see if the traces inside this coffin are words, or what kind of words they are."

Wu Liang didn't quite understand it, so he had to seek help from experts in this field.

The old boy did not live such a long life in vain. When he helped him revise the "History of Qi" before, he already knew that Yu Ji read a lot of ancient books on Taoism and alchemy. The study of ancient characters is far beyond ordinary people.

"Dianwei, help the old man."

Seeing that Wu Liang was safe and sound down there, Yu Ji naturally had nothing to worry about, so he turned to Dian Wei for help.

In this way, Dian Wei was pulling at the top, and Wu Liang continued at the bottom, and finally picked up Yu Ji, who was not very flexible in his legs and feet.

Come inside the coffin.

Yu Ji also frowned and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't seem to see any clues, and then took several steps back to keep a distance before checking.

Only then did he finally laugh, stroked his beard and said with a proud face: "My lord, the traces on this are indeed characters, and they are exactly the ancient Chu characters, but it's possible that the ink was too dipped when writing these characters." It is full, making the ink smudge vertically downward, and it is a little blurred, so it is not so easy to distinguish."

"In addition, the person who wrote these characters may not be very skilled. There are several strokes written incorrectly, and some key radicals are omitted in some places, which makes it more difficult to decipher these characters."

"Fortunately, this old man is well-informed, and this little difficulty is not too difficult for him."

"I just need to look at it in general, and I can still see the meaning of these words. At least I can guess the meaning of them."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang suddenly had a new idea.

Yu Ji's analysis may be correct. If blood is used to write, and of course it is easy to flow downward on such a vertical coffin board with poor water absorption effect, making the writing blurred.

Also.

The "extreme household piles" are all virgin boys and girls.

Boys and girls are usually still in the learning stage and have not learned a lot of knowledge. The same is true for writing. It is normal to write some wrong strokes or lack radicals.

and so.

Most likely, these handwritings were left by the boy or girl who was buried alive in this coffin.

On this basis, Wu Liang realized another detail that could prove this point.

Those scratch marks and these handwritings are all located at the lower end of the vertical burial coffin, and the height does not exceed about 1.2 meters... That is to say, when the child was buried in it, he probably raised his arms only about 1.2 meters.

"As expected of an old gentleman, please interpret these words for me."

Wu Liang praised Yu Ji first, and then said seriously.

"Young master, please take a look."

Yu Ji smiled very usefully, and then pointed to a group of smaller marks inside the coffin like a teacher and said, "This is the word 'wu' in the ancient Chu script, and this word is not wrong. It’s just that the writing is a little smaller, it looks like a ball, and the word below is a word for “fear”. It’s just that when writing it, I wrote an extra stroke to make it look nondescript, but when you read it together, you can still see it. It can be seen that these two words are pronounced as 'I am afraid', which means 'I am afraid'."

"Young master, please look over here again. This is also the word 'wu', but this character is bigger and clearer..."

"..."

Although Yu Ji reminded Wu Liang to "quickly fight and make a quick decision", when it was his turn to show off his knowledge, he seemed to have entered a state of forgetfulness again. What he said was so detailed that he wished to explain the correct spelling and allusions of every word .

Fortunately, Wu Liang still prefers to listen to these things, and these things are also minutes, so he didn't urge them.

After listening to this for a long while.

Wu Liang finally figured out the meanings of all the traces inside the coffin: "Father", "Mother", "I'm afraid", "Save me", "I resent", "I want to go home", "I curse you".

These words and phrases can be easily associated together, and have a very strong emotional color.

Listen to Yu Ji's explanation.

Even everyone felt chest tightness unconsciously, and when they were connected with the fact of the "extinct family pile", they could naturally think of what happened in the vertical burial coffin back then.

Compared with the tragedy of Luban's pregnant wife falling from the sky and falling to her death, this is the real tragedy in the world.

A tragedy created by the most evil side of human nature!

"Dian Wei, take the old man with me."

Up to now, Wu Liang has conducted the most comprehensive inspection of this vertical burial coffin, and seeing that there is nothing worth noting, he finally said to Dian Wei above.

Although this vertical burial coffin provided him with some information.

But in fact, it did not provide any useful key clues on how Wu Liang would make a decision next, nor did he find out the final whereabouts of the corpse.

Going up the ditch like this, Wu Liang took another look at the vertical burial coffin.

The top of this vertical burial coffin is also engraved with a name.

"His name is Yu Wenji..."

Probably out of sympathy, or perhaps wanting to show some basic respect to the child who was buried here, Wu Liang pronounced the name solemnly.

This name, it seems that it should be a boy...

However, it was this unintentional act that caused Sun Ye, who was in a very weak state, to tremble suddenly. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Wu Liang in surprise, "What did you say is the name of the owner of this coffin?"

"Yu Wenji... what's wrong?"

Wu Liang asked back with some doubts.

Everyone also looked at Sun Ye strangely, expressing that they didn't know why he reacted like this.

"The word 'taboo', but the 'taboo' of 'taboo'?"

Sun Ye immediately confirmed it again.

"Exactly, do you know this person?"

Wu Liang nodded and asked subconsciously.

"There is this name on my family tree, and there is also a tablet with this name in the ancestral hall, and according to the genealogy records, this 'Yuwenji' is the last ancestor of my family whose surname is Yuwen. After his generation, my family ordered Tim Tian According to a ancestral precept, future descendants cannot inherit the father's surname, nor can they take 'Yuwen' as their surname."

Sun Ye also said in disbelief, "In addition, in my family tree records, this ancestor named 'Yu Wenji' seems to have only lived to be seven years old before he died suddenly. year!"
