Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 612 Zuo Ci comprehended! (4000)

But Wu Liang didn't immediately ask Zuo Ci to help with the interpretation.

Instead, he chose to skip the si skull for now and move on to the antiquities in other niches first.

Oracle bone documents are different from bamboo slips, books and other documents of later generations.

Because bamboo slips and books and other documents can be written with a pen, and with the improvement of productivity and craftsmanship, the acquisition of bamboo chips and paper has become relatively simple in a certain period of time, so that the production of bamboo slips, books and other documents Getting out has also become much easier.

On the other hand, oracle bone documents require the use of special tools for seal cutting, and each word on it requires a lot of effort.

In addition, these oracle bones are obtained through hunting, and the way to obtain them is relatively difficult. It is even necessary to select the parts and types with high density suitable for seal cutting among many oracle bones. This leads to the fact that oracle bone documents are usually only used to record some Very important events and divination notes.

under these circumstances.

The oracle bones used to record different events and different divinations will naturally be different. Let’s just say that, usually, the more important events or divination rituals, the larger or more precious the oracle bones used to record will be. Some relatively ordinary events or divination rituals will only be recorded with some relatively ordinary tortoise shells or small animal bones.

Wu Liang knew this rule in his heart.

Therefore, even if he can't understand the inscriptions on these oracle bone documents for the time being, he can still infer the importance and cherishment of these documents from the size and appearance of the oracle bones. The oracle bone literature here gives an approximate rating.

In this way, after grading all the oracle bone documents first, and then calling Zuo Ci to help explain, it can also reduce the probability of being fooled by Zuo Ci.

so below.

It took about a quarter of an hour for Wu Liang to check all the niches on this wall.

Inside, Wu Liang saw a short pottery knife that was not very sharp.

This thing is not sharp, and it is definitely not as strong as stone tools. It is definitely not comparable to the ceramic knives of later generations, but it can still be regarded as a relatively good self-defense weapon in that era, because people in that era did not have solid armor. , when facing a fragile human body, this kind of pottery knife can still cut through the skin of the human body, pierce the muscles of the human body, and cause fatal injuries.

Besides.

This kind of ceramic knife can also be used to cut meat and vegetables. It is also a good choice to use it as a fruit knife for daily use, but it is limited by the sharpness. The so-called "cut" and "cut" are actually similar to "saw". It can only be said that it can be used.

This discovery did not come as a surprise to Wu Liang.

Later generations of archaeologists have discovered pottery knives from the pottery age. Although it did not appear earlier than this pottery knife, the craftsmanship is better than this pottery knife, so this pottery knife cannot be regarded as a A product that has surpassed the times can only be regarded as an early product.

What's more, as early as the time when Danzhu's father, Emperor Yao, was in power, the ancient Tang Dynasty was called "Tao Tang", because Emperor Yao's tribe started with making pottery.

In addition to this short pottery knife, Wu Liang also found two pieces of jade that can only be regarded as semi-finished products in the eyes of later generations.

The shape of these two pieces of jade is not very clear, or there is no shape at all, but the layer of stone shell that was originally wrapped around the jade has been stripped, and there is almost no polishing process, so they are left in that pure natural state. placed in the alcove.

However, if these two pieces of jade are placed in the jade circle of later generations, they will definitely attract the attention of countless gambling dogs.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when jade was admired, it could also be sold for a good price.

Because these two pieces of natural jade are relatively large in size, each one is about the size of a fist like a Dianwei sandbag, and they are crystal clear and transparent, and can even be polished into glasses... Wu Liang's research on jade types is also not worthy of the name Professional, but he suspects that these two pieces of jade may be very valuable glass jadeites that have been speculated in later generations.

However, in later generations, only Burma was the source of jadeite, so it was also called Burmese jade.

I don't know where these two pieces of jade come from, even Wu Liang can't be sure that this is jade...

But one thing is certain.

This thing is so crystal clear, it looks much more precious than ordinary jade, and it is absolutely worth taking it out. Not to mention that it may be glass jade, even a piece of very ordinary glass in this era can be regarded as priceless. Treasures for sale.

Wu Liang decided to take them away.

But it's not for the purpose of dedicating to Boss Cao, what Boss Cao wants is the world, even the "Suihou Pearl", which is as famous as the "Heshibi" that was made into the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, can be handed over to Wu Liang for use, such jade is natural Can't bring her too much surprise.

It's not for exchanging money. Wu Liang is now a county at any rate. There are thousands of food towns below, and there is no shortage of money and food. The same is true for Boss Cao. In front of tens of thousands of troops, the money they got in exchange was also just a drop in the bucket, probably not even enough to plug their teeth.

He intends to take these two pieces of jade back to look for craftsmen to polish them into lenses, and then make them into "telescopes" that can see farsightedness, or "magnifying glasses" that can observe fine details, so as to meet his needs in certain situations. Tomb robbery needs.

In fact, Wu Liang also has a little understanding of the glass refining process.

Unfortunately, it is only a superficial understanding.

Many people think that glass can be obtained only by firing sand rich in "silicon dioxide". This is true, but in fact, if there are more purification processes in actual operation, the final refined product will definitely not be glass. , but "glass" with a lot of mineral impurities.

Although "glass" also has the characteristics of crystal clear, but the light transmission is far from enough to make the lens of the telescope.

But these two pieces of jade are different. Although they are not as translucent as glass, they have very few impurities. They are much more transparent than the glass jade that Wu Liang has seen in later generations. It is very close to glass, and this is definitely the best material Wu Liang can find to make "telescopes" and "magnifying glasses".

So it's just these two pieces of jade.

Wu Liang can already think that he has gained a lot from this trip...

……

The rest are some oracle bone documents.

In addition to the skull that he had seen just now, Wu Liang actually saw a human skull inscribed with deeds in the alcove.

There are also three talus bones from unknown animals, and five tortoise shells with a diameter of about [-] centimeters.

That's all that's in the niches of this wall.

Wu Liang also secretly classified these oracle bone documents.

The Si skull and the human skull were placed in the first echelon by him, and he believed that these should be the most noteworthy oracle bone documents.

And the three talus bones from unknown large and medium-sized animals were placed in the second echelon by him. They all seemed to be more important than the tortoise shells.

As for the five tortoise shells, they are much smaller than other oracle bone documents.

Wu Liang could take these tortoise shells out and study them slowly. Anyway, there are people around him who know Qi Wen, so it is not necessary for Zuo Ci to help explain it.

that human skull...

It seems that they can also be taken out together with these tortoise shells, so I just ask him to read and interpret the documents on the skull and the three talus bones, so as to effectively reduce the probability of being fooled by Zuo Ci.

Think so.

Wu Liang immediately picked up the pottery knife and modified the winter clothes he had been lying on just now, and then carefully packed the man's skull and five pieces of tortoise shells into the winter clothes, and then turned to look at Zuo Ci, who was stretching his neck to look over here, said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Fang, I'm afraid I will trouble you to explain for me again."

"I can't ask for it!"

Zuo Ci's spirits lifted immediately, he trotted quickly to Wu Liang's side, and impatiently approached those oracle bone documents.

"Wait a minute!"

But Wu Liang stopped him again, and said seriously, "Brother Yuan Fang, these oracle bone documents are already somewhat decayed. If you touch them casually, it is very likely to damage them. Therefore, Brother Yuan Fang must not touch them during the process of interpretation. If there is a need to move, it is better for me and Dian Wei to move."

The skull is relatively large, and the deeds are all over the body. If you want to read all the deeds on it, you have to move it and turn it over.

The same is true for the talus bones of those large and medium-sized animals.

However, Wu Liang still didn't want Zuo Ci to touch these oracle bone documents. The damage was caused on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was due to his understanding of witchcraft.

How witchcraft is passed down remains a mystery until now.

Anyway, Wu Liang's "skill of impeachment" was not obtained through study and practice, and Fang Qiong's "skill of ignorance" and Yu Ji's "skill of empathy" did not seem to be learned through study or practice. In this sense, witchcraft chose them, not they chose witchcraft.

"Contact" seems to be a way of inheriting some ancient witchcraft.

It's just that Wu Liang has touched these oracle bone documents intentionally or unintentionally just now, but he didn't feel any strangeness as if he had mastered the "art of impeachment". He couldn't decipher these deeds, so he couldn't pass them on, or the witchcraft recorded on them didn't choose him.

"got it."

Zuo Ci didn't raise any objections, and after nodding in response, he immediately lowered his head and began to observe the most eye-catching skull.

Wu Liang, on the other hand, was watching Zuo Ci's every move while holding a pottery knife.

So after about a stick of incense.

Zuo Ci finally turned around, took a breath and said to Wu Liang: "Your talented brother, what is recorded on this skull should be a divination event held by Dan Zhu during his lifetime about the rise and fall of the Tao Tang family."

"Oh? Brother Yuan Fang, please explain in more detail."

Wu Liang asked intently.

The Tao Tang family is the lineage of Emperor Yao and Danzhu, and as far as Wu Liang knows, Danzhu is the ancestor of the later Liu surname.

Although the reliability is uncertain, there is indeed a detailed genealogy of this lineage in later generations, and even since Danzhu, the descendants of each subsequent life can be said to have specific names and identities.

The most well-known figure among them is Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

In the genealogy of this lineage, he is the No. 70 fifth grandson of Danzhu, after a well-known family...

And if this genealogy is true, it also explains the rise and fall of the Tao Tang family to a certain extent. I just don’t know whether the divination events recorded on the skull have predicted that the Tao Tang family will have this day thousands of years later. .

Also.

When Zuo Ci said these words.

The fox servant on the side did not give any warning, which shows that Zuo Ci's words should not be lies.

"For the time being, I only saw this side of the deed. It's so endless that I really can't tell the complete record on it. I have to trouble Brother Xian to move this skull up."

Zuo Ci cupped his hands and said.

"Good to say."

Wu Liang immediately called Dianwei over, and the two of them worked together to lift the skull out of the niche, and then gently placed it on the stone bed not far away.

During this process, Wu Liang also carefully placed the wooden stick engraved with the word "Gun" on the bed, which was originally on the bed, to one side.

After Si's skull was stabilized, Zuo Ci stepped forward again, went around to another floor and bent down to inspect it carefully.

And at the same time.

The fox servant also jumped onto the stone bed lightly, squatted down in an elegant posture while staring at Zuo Ci, and at the same time staring at the deeds on Si's skull, it seemed that he was also carefully interpreting it.

Seeing that the fox servant was so dedicated, Wu Liang was naturally relieved a lot, so he patiently stood not far away and waited for the result.

In this way, it took about another incense stick of work.

Zuo Ci has moved from the back of the skull to the front, his brows are still slightly furrowed, and he looks extremely focused.

And that fox servant had already withdrawn his gaze from his skull, the corners of his mouth slightly raised his aunt's smile unique to foxes, and looked at Zuo Ci with a slightly weird expression, not knowing what he was thinking at the moment.

But there is one thing Wu Liang can be sure of.

Zhen Mi must have completed the interpretation of this skull through the eyes of the fox servant.

It's just that the fox servant's auntie demeanor made Wu Liang feel that Zhen Mi seemed to have her own ideas, and the situation was gradually getting out of his control.

I don't know if this is an illusion...

Just when Wu Liang was thinking so.

"Well……"

Zuo Ci suddenly let out a muffled snort, and his complexion instantly became ugly, even his legs were a little staggering, as if he might fall at any time!
"This is?!"

Wu Liang was someone who had been there, and immediately realized what was going on.

next moment.

Zuo Ci's pupils had lost their spirit, replaced by chaos, as if hysterical, he sat down cross-legged like no one else...

He's about to get settled!
That is to say, what is recorded on the skull is not a so-called divination event at all, but a witchcraft, and Zuo Ci has been selected as the successor of this witchcraft, and has entered the state of comprehension!
"asshole!"

Wu Liang wants to do something.

"Ow!"

The fox servant had already blocked Wu Liang, and shook his head at him with a very obvious meaning.
