Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 743 Blood Stains (4000)

"I don't think it should be Xu Fu."

Wu Liang said to the witch quite calmly.

"What is Wu Taishi's basis?"

The witch immediately raised her head and asked.

Seeing this Qionggou jade, the witch had already had a bad premonition in her heart, followed by disappointment in her heart, and after hearing Wu Liang's statement, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart, but This glimmer of hope is very fragile and still needs some support from Wu Liang.

"First of all, you have never seen the Qionggou jade carried by Xu Fu with your own eyes. All the information comes from the records of the Japanese shrine, so it is still impossible to conclude that this Qionggou jade must be the Qionggou jade carried by Xu Fu, let alone here The same jade is everywhere, and the production process of this kind of Qionggou jade is not complicated, and there may not be only two Qionggou jade of this style in the world."

Wu Liang explained rationally for the witch, "Secondly, even if this Qionggouyu is the Qionggouyu that Xu Fu carried with him, it can only prove that Xu Fu has indeed returned to this place after leaving the Wa kingdom, and it does not mean that this set of clothes is authentic. The owner is Xu Fu, Qiong Gouyu is just a dead object after all, if Xu Fu accidentally loses it, or gives it to others, or Xu Fu has encountered an accident, it may fall into the hands of others."

"But Qin Zhijun Xu is an immortal ancestor god, how could something unexpected happen..."

Witch Hu did not get any comfort and support from Wu Liang's analysis, on the contrary, she aggravated the disappointment and worry in her heart, but she still insisted with a little confidence, "According to you, it must be Qin Zhixu Jun Accidentally lost Qiong Gouyu, or gave it to the owner of this set of clothes as a gift."

"Maybe."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and did not argue with the witch. He just checked the suit carefully and found no other valuable clues before getting up and saying, "Go deeper, the truth may lie inside."

"Ah."

The witch responded obediently, but couldn't hide her inner worry.

There is one thing that she and Dr. Qi Litong absolutely did not lie, that is, from top to bottom in the Wa Kingdom, Xu Fu was indeed regarded as their national destiny and hope. It has reached the point where it is unsustainable. Many people die of hunger and anxiety every day. The situation is only worse than the big man today.

It is also because of this that when everyone has lost hope, they can only pin their only hope on Xu Fu, the "ancestor god" who once came from the sea like a god and brought them hope and change. , precisely because it was accidentally forgotten by the "ancestral god" Xu Fu.

Only by inviting the "ancestor gods" back again, will their lives be better again, and the prosperity and stability that has lasted for a long time will be restored.

And if Miko Hu finally brings back the news that "Xu Fu has already suffered an accident"...

The maiden really doesn't know how to face the long-awaited queen and the people of the Wa country. This will directly destroy their hope and belief. Without a common belief, there will be more serious turmoil in the Wa country, and the shrine she serves will be completely destroyed. Falling off the altar, even she herself, a witch serving the shrine, didn't know where to go.

……

The next road is still very smooth.

After about a cup of tea, they finally walked out of the narrow passage and came to a relatively open underground space.

This underground space is like an irregular circular underground palace. Its area is not too large, it is about a hundred and ten square meters, and it can be seen at a glance.

The rock walls, dome, and ground here are full of green and transparent jade, some of which protrude from the rocks, making the rock walls, dome, and ground not as smooth as the previous passage, and even a little rough. The big jade is so huge that it has reached the point where it blocks the line of sight.

Under the illumination of the Suihou Pearl, these exposed jade stones are more gorgeous and eye-catching, giving people a feeling of being in the Crystal Palace... If I want to make this feeling more specific, Wu Liang thinks of the later generations. The aquarium, but the top, bottom, left, and right of the aquarium are all blue sea water, and there are all kinds of fish in it, but here, the top, bottom, left, and right are all emerald green jade, which looks spectacular.

In the center of the underground palace, there is a jade pillar that runs through the top and bottom.

This jade pillar is very thick. According to Wu Liang's visual inspection, its diameter is at least one meter. Its shape is irregular and its surface is quite rough. It looks like the trunk of a crooked tree... But based on this Considering the structural stability of the underground palace, the existence of this jade pillar is very meaningful, and it definitely played a considerable part of the load-bearing role.

"It's over."

After simply observing the underground palace, Wu Liang found that there was no other passage to go deeper, and they had nowhere to go.

"..."

The witch, Hu Ze, stood quietly behind Wu Liang without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.

"?"

Seeing that there was no movement behind him suddenly, Wu Liang subconsciously looked back.

At this moment, the witch Hu was staring at the jade pillar, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her mouth was slightly opened, as if she was slightly shocked by such a thick jade pillar.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Liang felt that her reaction at the moment was a bit too much, so he asked.

"Ah...it's okay."

The witch finally came back to her senses, looked back at Wu Liang and nodded, "I heard Wu Taishi's words. If there is no other secret way here, we should have come to the end. What is Wu Taishi going to do next?" Do?"

"Let's take a closer look here first."

Wu Liang pondered and said, "This place should be called Qiongtian. If the legendary 'Yangshenzhi' really exists, then the possibility of growing in this place is very high. In addition, it is also possible to find some more similar to it here. Xu Fu’s clues, but girl, let’s talk first, I’m mainly here to investigate, if you have any ideas, you can communicate with me at any time, but don’t act without authorization, understand?”

"I would like to listen to Wu Taishi's arrangement."

The witch replied obediently again.

Wu Liang stopped talking nonsense, and then took the thick jade pillar as a clockwise direction to explore this "Qingtian".

The jade in this "Qingtian" finally had some traces of artificial forging, and after only two steps, Wu Liang found a rather obvious scratch.

This scratch is about 2 cm deep and about 30 cm long, and it looks like it should be made in one go.

Although Wu Liang has not tested the hardness of this special jade before, he can be sure that this kind of jade is not nephrite that is easy to carve, but hard jade that is relatively difficult to handle.

To be able to leave such a mark on such jade with one blow, not only must the tools used be suitable, but the person using the tools must also have a lot of strength.

However, this scratch did not provide Wu Liang with too many clues.

So Wu Liang continued to investigate.

After walking a few more steps like this, he immediately found a strange dark red trace on a large smooth surface of the ground.

This dark red mark is clearly the shape of a person lying on it, head, shoulders, arms, chest... This is the upper body of a person, as if a person has completed a rubbing on it, even when it should be On the imprint on the head, Wu Liang could vaguely see that it might be a person's profile.

"This is……"

Wu Liang lowered his body and took out a small brush made of ponytail from the cloth bag, gently brushed off some dust and impurities on the mark, and then touched it...

"This crimson mark is not stained on the surface of the jade, but immersed in the jade."

Wu Liang quickly came to such a conclusion, and his brows furrowed.

"Wu Taishi, what does this mean?"

The witch asked in bewilderment.

"This shows that people may have died in this place, and the corpses have been placed here for a long time, so that the blood of the dead or the corpse water when they rot have been covered here for a long time, making this piece of jade become a blood-soaked jade. Dead jade."

Wu Liang said seriously.

However, there is still a problem to be discussed. Many ancient jades have been unearthed in the archaeological world of later generations, including some nine-hole jades that were in close contact with the corpses of the deceased, and many jades were buried with ancient jades in the Han Dynasty and earlier periods. Jade.

However, as far as Wu Liang knows, there is a time gap of about 2000 years between the Han Dynasty and the later generations, but the nine-hole jade and gold thread jade clothes found in the Han tombs have been with the tomb owner's corpse for more than 2000 years. After being eroded for such a long time, it did not show such an obvious deep red, at most it was a little yellowish, and a few red streaks extended into it.

So if this imprint was also eroded by blood and corpse water, how many years must have passed, not to mention that unlike the airtight coffin, this place is directly connected to the outside world even if it is not open air. After the blood and corpse water flow out It will dry up soon, and it is difficult to erode jade for a long time like corpse water in the coffin.

What's more, there is also "Yangshen Mushroom" here. Usually, the exposed corpses will be patronized by those parrots, first turning into walking dead, and then turning into a pile of black soil and being eaten by them. It is impossible to lie in this place for a long time.

unless……

This special jade has another characteristic that is different from ordinary jade. It can absorb blood or corpse water itself, instead of being slowly eroded.

This guess is easy to test out.

"bass!"

While thinking this way, Wu Liang had already drawn out the copper dagger.

"?"

Witch Hu showed a puzzled expression, expressing that she didn't understand why Wu Liang suddenly drew his sword when he spoke well.

next second.

"I'm sorry, Brother Monkey."

Without further ado, Wu Liang pulled the old macaque king over, and before he could react, he stroked his finger lightly, and then a few drops of bright red blood dripped down on the same man. On a piece of jade.

"Ahh-!"

The old macaque king immediately cried out in shock and fear, trying to struggle but was forced by Wu Liang's pretentious power to dare not act rashly, so he had to hold his body as far away from the copper dagger in Wu Liang's hand as possible, while his legs kept moving. shivering.

"Don't make trouble, Brother Monkey, this is a paid blood donation."

As he spoke, Wu Liang had already put away the copper dagger that the old macaque king was afraid of, and took out a piece of dried meat from the cloth bag and stuffed it into the old macaque king's hand.

The old macaque king had never been subjected to such a routine of slapping a sweet date, so he was a little confused at the moment.

But Wu Liang just made a small cut on the finger of the old macaque king, and the tingling came and went quickly, and then looked at the piece of dried meat exuding fragrance in his hand, the old macaque king soon became stable After getting down, he squatted obediently on the ground and started chewing.

"Wu Taishi is really a good method."

The witch looked at this scene from the side, and she couldn't laugh or cry, "I just don't know why Wu Taishou suddenly took its blood?"

"I just want to verify the characteristics of this jade."

Wu Liang observed the few drops of blood, and in the blink of an eye, the blood had dried up a little.

Wu Liang wiped one of the drops with a sackcloth to check, but saw that there were two red blood streaks like capillaries under the jade at this moment, and the blood streaks were about 2mm deep into the jade... This phenomenon is actually not obvious. Not easy to see.

"This jade really sucks blood, and it doesn't need long-term erosion to form such a mark..."

Wu Liang murmured.

And at the same time.

"..."

When Wu Liang's attention was not on Witch Hu, Witch Hu's eyes immediately moved to the direction of Yuzhu, and an unspeakable throbbing appeared in her eyes, as if she saw something unusual.

She even moved her lips, as if she was talking, but she didn't make any sound.

"It seems that someone did die in this place, and it shouldn't be a normal death. There is a high probability that they were severely injured."

Wu Liang was still concentrating on analyzing the dark red mark on his feet, "If this kind of jade has such characteristics, then this underground palace may also leave other marks."

While talking, Wu Liang finally stood up, and continued to grope forward, trying to find more imprint clues in this "Qiong Tian".

The witch Hu Ze followed behind Wu Liang in silence.

In this way, he walked forward for a distance of five or six meters, and bypassed two hills with larger rocks and large pieces of jade. Wu Liang finally found a dark red handprint on the back of one of the jade.

"really."

This time Wu Liang was not surprised, he mused in his heart, "It seems that there was a rather tragic battle in this place..."

Just at this time.

The witch, who had been in a state of fugue just now, suddenly pointed to a place near the jade pillar not far ahead and shouted: "Wu Taishi, look at what that is?"

"?"

Wu Liang hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of the witch's finger.

I saw under the jade pillar, in the gap between several pieces of jade, there is a small clump of jade-like green things, because the two colors are very similar, and it is easy to miss if you don't go close and look carefully.
