Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 453 The Only Boat-Shaped Wooden Coffin (4000)

Soon after, Wu Liang and others set up the tent.

Then began the inspection of Sun Tombs. There are hundreds of Sun Tombs. There are more or less. Naturally, the progress will not be too fast.

In this way, the time to eat and avoid the hottest period is eliminated.

After spending a whole day's effort, Wu Liang and others explored more than half of the Tomb of the Sun.

Before that, although it cannot be said that there was no harvest, the harvest was also very limited.

However, what Wu Liang can be sure of is that the inferences about the tombs of the sun drawn by the archaeological community of later generations should be good. These tombs of the sun should be built at least in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, and maybe even earlier, at the junction of the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. .

Because most of the utensils scattered in the tomb are fragments of very ancient stone, pottery, and bone wares, and occasionally one or two pieces of bronze fragments can be seen, which are also extremely primitive bronze alloys. Wu Liang can tell at a glance, This kind of bronze can't reach the strength of making tools and utensils at all, and it can make some small decorations if it is stretched to death. The production level is also very backward.

This whole day is also exhausting for everyone in the Huan army.

In fact, they didn't make much effort, mainly due to the consumption of energy.

Different from the experience of excavating ancient tombs in the past, not only did the trip to the Tomb of the Sun take a long time on the road, but after entering this strange world and even discovering the Tomb of the Sun, the investigation time was also much longer. It is also much worse, which is naturally a severe test for their spirit and will.

main.

This tomb of the sun is a little more peculiar in shape than the ancient tombs excavated before, and in such a strange world isolated from the world, so far it looks like a piece of ordinary ancient tomb remains, which is naturally The people in the Lian army were a little discouraged.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.

When Wu Liang and the others explored most of the Sun Tomb, they finally found something different.

It was a corpse lying on the ground, and it was located on the periphery of the Sun Tomb that Wu Liang and others were about to investigate next.

The body of the corpse was not wearing any clothes, the skin had turned a slightly dry yellowish brown, and the muscles and tissues under the skin had also dried out, making the corpse look thin and dry, showing a In the skinny state, it was only slightly plump than the completely killed mummies that Wu Liang and others had seen before.

And judging from the integrity of the skin, this corpse does not seem to have gone through the normal process of decay, but began to dehydrate and weather directly after death...

"My lord, it doesn't look like this corpse has been dead for too long, right?"

Yang Wanli was the first to discover the corpse, and while calling Wu Liang and the others to check it out, he expressed his opinion.

What he said "the death time will not be too long" is relative to this tomb of the sun. Wu Liang has said before that the tomb of the sun should have been built more than 2000 years ago or even earlier. All the corpses found were left with broken limbs and broken bones that were not even as good as rotten wood. Compared with them, this corpse was naturally considered relatively "fresh".

"should be……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and carefully came near the corpse under the guard of Dian Wei and Yang Wanli.

Although the corpse was lying on the ground, because there was no cover from top to bottom, and the organs on the body were only shriveled but not rotted, it was easy to determine the gender - it was obviously a female corpse.

The height is estimated to be about 1.4 meters, and there is no obvious trauma on the entire back, because it is already in a skinny state, and it can be seen that the bones are not obviously broken.

Wu Liang inspected it carefully, but couldn't see the cause of death of the female corpse from the back, so he said to Dian Wei and Yang Wanli: "You two turn her over and have a look."

"promise!"

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli responded, but they didn't do anything directly. Instead, they used an engineering shovel to insert it under the woman's body, and then pried it up carefully to turn it over.

There was also no obvious trauma found on the front of the female corpse, but it may be because this side has been less exposed to sunlight and hot wind, the preservation condition is slightly better than that of the back, and the muscles and tissues under the skin are slightly plump, and even the same yellow-brown skin It also has a slight elasticity, just like the tanned corpse seen in the tomb of King Liu Qu in Guangchuan.

"Young Master, this female corpse definitely does not belong to the Tomb of the Sun. Although this old man can't tell when she died, she is clearly incompatible with everything in the Tomb of the Sun. She must have come here later."

Yu Ji looked at the female corpse up and down, stroked his beard and analyzed seriously, "But the strangest thing about this old man is, what kind of woman would take off her clothes and come here, even if we haven't seen a living person here, or even a single I have never seen Asuka before, but the sun in the desert is no joke, the old man was too hot and did not wear a turban a few days ago, the top of his head was sunburned and peeled off a layer of skin, it took a long time to recover from the pain."

Everyone in the Liren Army knew about this, the old boy had a Mediterranean hairstyle without a single hair on his head, yet he dared to imitate others by not wearing a headscarf, of course he deserved it.

"Not to mention these, do you think the face of this female corpse looks familiar?"

Wu Liang asked intently again.

"Does it look familiar?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at the tawny, shriveled face of the female corpse.

Bai Jingjing slightly frowned and said, "You say it this way, the eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar to Fang Qiong, but it's hard to say that it has become like this. In my opinion, many people in the Western Regions seem to have this look. They all look similar, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets."

face blindness.

This is not unique to people of this era, and many people in later generations feel the same way.

Moreover, Easterners are blind to Westerners, and Westerners are also blind to Easterners. When a group of people's faces are put together, it is impossible to recognize who is who.

Wu Liang used to be blind to Westerners and people from the Western Regions. He always felt that everyone looked similar. Later, he watched the NBA and Victoria's Secret a lot, and it was gradually relieved.

What's more, the face of the female corpse was already a little shriveled.

The facial features have undergone changes to varying degrees, which naturally increases the difficulty of identification. It's no wonder that everyone can't see it clearly. Even Wu Liang took a few more glances before he felt that they were somewhat similar.

"However, the height of this female corpse does not match Fang Qiong's. Fang Qiong's height is close to six feet, while this female corpse is less than five feet tall. The difference is quite large, but it looks like the previous Fang Qiong. The height of the 'stone statue' is very close to..."

Zhuge Liang also said the difference he saw, but when he said this, he was suddenly stunned, and said thoughtfully, "Brother Youcai, do you think this is the same as that 'stone statue'?" Fang Qiong left behind in the same period, if you think about it this way, it becomes possible again."

"exactly."

Wu Liang nodded and said, "When I interrogated Fang Qiong before, I heard from her that she went to the Central Plains after she left Xuni City ten years ago, which coincides with the time when the 'witch' of Xuni City appeared. , which means that Fang Qiong did not lie about this matter, and if she left some footprints here, it should be ten years ago, just like the age of the 'stone statue'."

When he said this, Wu Liang couldn't help but think of the female mummy named "Loulan Beauty" discovered by later archaeologists in the Tomb of the Sun on the north bank of the Peacock River.

It's just that according to later scientific determination, the age of the female mummy should be around 45 years old, and the time of death has been more than 4000 years from later generations. will have any relationship.

But the location is probably in Xiaohe cemetery near today's "Camel Tomb".

Archaeologists also discovered the well-preserved corpse of a young female named "Princess Loulan".

The female corpse was placed in a boat-shaped wooden coffin, her eyes were closed tightly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she had just fallen asleep after being enchanted... I don't know if it has any relationship with Fang Qiong?
of course.

This is just Wu Liang's unfounded guess, it can't be counted, it can only be regarded as a whim at best, and it can't be taken seriously.

Shaking his head and throwing this random thought out of his mind, Wu Liang said again: "What the old gentleman said just now has some truth, but anyone with some common sense can't walk naked in this desert. This is also unreasonable, unless other people came here and took off her clothes, or for some special reason, she went to the desert without a trace, and it was too late to prepare clothes. There is nowhere to prepare clothes."

"What could that be?"

Bai Jingjing said again, "Even if it's too late to prepare, as a woman, it's absolutely impossible not to wear clothes on weekdays, right? Women in the Western Regions also know how to behave with shame?"

"I can't tell, so it's some kind of special reason..."

Wu Liang shook his head slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "But this is a new discovery for us, don't touch her again for now, everyone will search around, maybe we can find some clues related to her, so we have a chance to solve the problem. Unravel the riddle on her."

So Wu Liang and others began to split up.

However, everyone still maintains a distance of no more than 20 meters. Once someone encounters a special situation, make sure to take care of each other.

It took only 2 minutes to search.

Yang Wanli, who went to investigate in the tomb of the sun next door, shouted again: "My lord, there is also a female corpse here... No, there are several female corpses here, come and take a look!"

"How many female corpses?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly gathered together to check with Wu Liang.

Indeed, at the same time as Yang Wanli said, several female corpses suddenly appeared between the wooden posts of the Sun Tomb.

These female corpses maintained different postures, lying on the ground, lying on their backs or sideways, also without any clothes on their bodies, and the dry condition of the corpses was also very similar to that of the female corpses discovered before.

Not only that.

The appearance and height of these female corpses are as if they were carved out of the same mold as the female corpse found before, especially when they are placed together for comparison and comparison, they are exactly the same!
"This……"

Everyone showed astonishment.

This ordinary tomb of the sun has finally become weird now...

"Do you still remember Fang Qiong's previous experience?"

Wu Liang carefully inspected these female corpses, and said intently, "King Shanshan killed her three times, throwing her corpse once, burning her corpse once, and suppressing her corpse once, and we found Fang Qiong in the mysterious small lake of Bailong Lake. But Fang Qiong is still alive and well, that is to say, Fang Qiong should have many corpses, and these common female corpses in front of him are very similar to Fang Qiong's experience, even if they don't belong to Fang Qiong, they should It was also left behind by people with the same experience... We should be getting closer and closer to the truth now!"

The scene in front of him gave Wu Liang the feeling of watching "Resident Evil".

In that movie, there was such an impressive scene: the protagonist escaped from the research institute guarding her through all kinds of hardships. When she came outside the research institute, she was greeted by a pile of corpses. Big pit...

"..."

Everyone understood Wu Liang's meaning, but this did not affect them being so shocked by the scene before them that they could not speak.

"In addition, including the female corpse discovered earlier, have you noticed that the heads of these female corpses are all facing the same direction, and they all seem to have the same goal?"

Wu Liang continued.

"?"

Everyone heard the words and quickly looked at these female corpses one by one.

What Wu Liang said was right, these female corpses were all kept parallel to the ray formed by the wooden stakes in the tomb of the sun under their feet, and their heads were uniformly facing the center of the tomb of the sun!

and so……

Without taking the crowd to respond, Wu Liang had already walked towards the center of the Sun Tomb.

Dian Wei followed immediately, and the crowd reacted afterward, and they also followed in a crowd.

So come to the center of this sun tomb.

The crowd saw a dozen or so identical female corpses in the large circular pit built with sand and stones in the middle. They also fell to the ground with their heads facing the center of the circle in a radial position. It seemed that they would rather die than die here. the place to be reached.

And at the center of the circle.

Everyone saw a rather complete boat-shaped wooden coffin, and it was also the first coffin that was so completely preserved after they arrived at the tomb of the sun.

Even the coffin was covered with a lid.

And beside this coffin.

Wu Liang and the others finally saw a different corpse leaning on the side. It was a corpse wrapped in animal skin, and the degree of dryness was not much different from those of the female corpses.

The biggest difference is that this corpse is not a female corpse, but obviously a bald male corpse!
The most eye-catching thing is the emerald ring the size of a pigeon egg on the male corpse's hand, which is even a bit dazzling under the sunlight...

Wu Liang clearly remembered that when Fang Qiong was interrogated, she mentioned this ring!
