Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 810 Annihilated? (4000)

Zhen Mi's explanation undoubtedly opened up a new way of thinking for Wu Liang.

However, more questions also appeared. The biggest question is, why did "Bian Que" appear in Qi Aigong's tomb?

According to the information Wu Liang obtained before, it can be judged that because Qi Aigong was cooked and killed by Zhou Tianzi without warning, this tomb must have been built after Qi Aigong died, and the person who presided over this matter could only be Qi Aigong's family members and his mother's younger brother Lu Shan, that is, the king of Qi Hu Gong Lv Jing appointed by the emperor of Zhou was killed soon after, and Qi Xiangong became self-reliant.

So analyzed.

Although it is hard to say whether "Bian Que" has any relationship with Duke Ai of Qi, it must have a close relationship with Duke Xian of Qi who presided over or participated in the construction of this mausoleum.

As for what kind of relationship it is, it's hard to say.

It's a pity that there are no other clues in this tomb except for the corpse of "Ren Tou Zhi" and the bronze tripod that is likely to belong to the member or descendant of the "Bian Que" organization.

So Wu Liang ordered to continue exploring the next tomb.

Facing the next wooden door that was also sealed, Wu Liang followed the same pattern, still using the big rooster to lead the battle, and after making such a test and confirming that there was no danger, he broke open the wooden door and stood outside to look around.

Different from the empty tomb in front, the things in this tomb are much richer.

At first glance, this tomb looks more like a living room. There are almost all kinds of beds, tables, and even a bookcase. Unfortunately, there are only three lonely volumes of bamboo slips on the big bookcase. I don’t know what’s inside. What is recorded.

Next to the bookcase, Wu Liang also saw an upright bronze figure of the same height as a person.

Although he could only see the profile of the bronze figure, Wu Liang could still tell that it was a man, and he could see the dots and intertwined lines on the bronze figure.

"Is this... the bronze acupuncture man?"

While Wu Liang was pleasantly surprised, he also regretted that he didn't bring Zou Xuan, whom Boss Cao had just rewarded, with him this time.

Zou Xuan is proficient in acupuncture and is naturally familiar with veins and acupoints. He may also have a higher understanding of pharmacology than ordinary people. If she was there, he might be able to make a more correct judgment on the things found here.

But it doesn't matter.

Regardless of whether there are any amazing discoveries, Wu Liang will definitely take samples of the things here when he leaves, and it will not be too late to bring them back to Chen Liu and teach Zou Xuan to help identify them.

As for the bronze man.

If it is really a bronze acupuncture figure, it would be amazing. As far as Wu Liang knows, the earliest bronze acupuncture figure known to the archaeological world in later generations should be cast in the Northern Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the bronze acupuncture figure were unknown as early as the Ming Dynasty, and it was really handed down. Only the Ming Dynasty recasts came down.

So if the bronze figure in front of Wu Liang is the bronze figure of acupuncture and moxibustion, it will undoubtedly advance the archaeological records of the bronze figure of acupuncture and moxibustion by more than 2000 years, and it will also add a lot of color to the glorious history of the Chinese dynasty.

Besides.

Only a dead body was left leaning against the table.

Different from the corpse in the copper tripod, this corpse didn't only have dry bones left, on the contrary, it looked very plump, and it was able to support the already dilapidated clothes.

Also, the exposed head of this corpse has not turned into dry bones, but because its back is facing the door, Wu Liang and others cannot see the face of this corpse for the time being... Even for a moment, Wu Liang I almost thought it was a living person. After all, from the perspective of the back, there was not much difference between this corpse and a living person.

But judging from the thick layer of dust covering the corpse and the torn clothes that could no longer cover the body without touching it, this person must have been untouched for a long, long time, and it is obviously impossible for him to be a living person.

"You are waiting outside as usual, Dian Wei and I will go in and check first."

Wu Liang explained to everyone, and walked into the tomb together with Dian Wei.

Although he had been staring at the corpse leaning on the table, he didn't go to check it immediately, but came to the bronze man who was closer.

After scanning it from top to bottom, Wu Liang concluded that the bronze figure was exactly that of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Although he has only a half-knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points, he also knows a few key acupuncture points, so he can infer one or two... Most importantly, upon closer inspection, Wu Liang found four slender acupuncture points on the body of the bronze man. copper needle.

These four copper needles were all pierced into the bronze figure. If he read correctly, they should be piercing the Baihui point on the top of the head, the temple on the side of the eyes, the Weilu point on the back, and the Zhangmen point on the front of the armpit. hole.

As far as he knows, these four acupuncture points belong to the "death points" of the human body.

I just don't know whether these copper needles can be left by someone to pass some information to the latecomers, or they simply forgot to take the needles away?

Or is there some mechanism hidden in the copper man?
Thinking of this possibility, Wu Liang observed carefully again, and then carefully removed the copper needle at the bronze man's Weilu acupoint.

The bronze man didn't change because of this, Wu Liang didn't hear any noise, and Bai Jingjing didn't remind him, so maybe he was thinking too much.

So Wu Liang removed the copper needles from the other three "death spots".

The bronze man still hasn't changed at all...

"It seems that I am thinking too much."

Wu Liang slandered in his heart, and he didn't find anything special about the four copper needles, but he saw some signs of wear and tear on the part where the copper needles pierced the bronze figure, which is of course nothing to say of.

So Wu Liang tapped the bronze figure lightly.

The bronze man immediately turned around with a "Dangdang" sound, and it could be heard that the inside of the bronze man should be empty.

However, with the industrial level of the Spring and Autumn Period, there is no way to make a one-piece hollow bronze figure. This bronze figure must have an opening.

So Wu Liang searched more carefully.

Finally, he found a small buckle on the back of the bronze man, and this small buckle happened to be located in a meridian on the back, which was hidden very secretly.

Wu Liang studied for a while and found the way to open the buckle.

In this way, only a light "click" sound was heard, and a tightly seamed back panel was removed from the back of the bronze figure.

Wu Liang looked inside the bronze figure again with the dim light of the Suihou pearl, and found several small hanging rings in the abdomen of the bronze figure, and five irregular wooden carvings were hung on the small hanging rings. Judging from the position and shape of the hanging, it is not difficult to judge that they represent the five internal organs of the human body.

"Amazing..."

Wu Liang sighed in his heart.

This is a bronze figure in an ancient tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is so similar to the bronze acupuncture figure in the records of the Northern Song Dynasty that has not been handed down to later generations, and it is also equipped with five internal organs.

However, there are still some differences.

According to historical records, the acupuncture bronze figurine in the Northern Song Dynasty was also equipped with the six internal organs and bones of the human body, and some of the setting functions can be used to test the acupuncture level of students, but this bronze figurine is obviously lacking in this aspect.

"Yang Wanli, this bronze figure is entrusted to you. When we leave, we will find a way to lead people to take it away with us. We must not protect it well, and we must not damage it in the slightest."

Wu Liang immediately turned his head and explained to Yang Wanli who was outside the door.

"promise!"

Yang Wanli quickly responded, "I will then order someone to make a wooden box, and then fill the wooden box with hay, so that the bronze man will not be easily injured, what do you think?"

"good."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, then temporarily put the bronze figure aside, and turned his gaze to the corpse and the bookcase with its back facing him.

The bookcase was next to the table, so it was also next to the corpse, so there was no precedence, so Wu Liang started to investigate the corpse first.

After walking to the side of the corpse in this way, he finally saw the state of the corpse clearly.

The dead body was sitting cross-legged on the futon behind the table, a small stove was placed in front of his legs, and a small clay pot was placed on the stove.

However, it is different from common clay pots.

In addition to a small lid on the pot, there are four small round holes located in different directions on the slightly upper part of the pot body, and the round holes directly lead into the inside of the pot.

"What is this?"

Combining with various previous discoveries, Wu Liang suspected that this pottery pot might be a container for decocting medicine.

But he is absolutely sure that he has never seen such a shape of decoction container, whether it is found in archaeology or the medicine pot passed down by the people in later generations, there is absolutely no such shape.

in contrast.

On the contrary, some incense tools have similar shapes.

And the four small round holes located in different directions are for the purpose of letting the spices in the clay pot waft out the aroma when burning.

Besides.

Wu Liang really couldn't figure out what the purpose of those four small holes was.
at the same time.

Wu Liang also found a dilapidated feather fan beside the corpse. This feather fan must have been made from the feathers of some large birds. Unfortunately, most of the light and thin feathers on it had disappeared, leaving only one The stalks of feathers are woven together, so it is impossible to tell which bird the feathers came from.

From this scene, it is not difficult to judge that the corpse in front of him should be using a feather fan to fan the small stove when it died, but it is not known what is being fired in the clay pot on the small stove.

But at this moment, Wu Liang's attention had already focused on the corpse in front of him.

This is the corpse of a man, and it seems that he should have grown old when he died, at least after middle age.

When approaching, Wu Liang was the first to discover that the corpse in front of him was actually one that had been planted with a stinging technique.

Through the nearly translucent skin of the corpse, he could clearly see the densely packed peanut-sized white eggs and the brown liquid soaked in the eggs.

It's different from the last time I saw this kind of thing.

This time Wu Liang already knew the purpose and usage of the worm bead, so he didn't feel afraid, and even felt a little excited: this is a work that pays off, Wu Liang thought it might be difficult to find the worm bead again, but Unexpectedly, such a large number of eggs were found in the end.

This may be related to the sealing of the wooden door.

In this way, the gnat eggs inside the wooden door and in the tomb passage outside are in two relatively independent spaces, so when the gnat eggs hatched last time, the gnat eggs here were not affected in any way.

But now Wu Liang still faces a problem.

If the eggs are starting to hatch now, how should he preserve and carry the hatched gnats so that they will come in handy when he needs them most?
Also.

Wu Liang is not sure whether these gnats are the same as the gnats he encountered before.

Because Yu Ji also said last time that the gnats are cultivated with the dead soul as the medium, the more pain the deceased experienced during his lifetime, the stronger the resentment and fear in his heart, the more poisonous the worms bred, and the more poisonous the worms will be. more and more powerful.

It is also because of this that no matter whether it is the corpses of men in the tomb or the corpses of pregnant women hanging upside down in the tomb, they undoubtedly do not maintain a ferocious and painful face, which is exactly what the practitioner needs.

But the corpse in front of him was completely different.

Wu Liang saw that although his body had already been filled with worm eggs, his expression was extremely calm, even looking carefully, there was even a little bit of kindness.

If this person is also a container for the caster to raise the worms, and if what Yu Ji said is true, then the power of the worms in his body will be greatly reduced...

the most important is.

In order to cultivate gnats, the caster can use such cruel means to treat others, so why he can teach this person to die in such a peaceful way is not in line with common sense.

Wu Liang was puzzled, but he could only continue to observe other details of the corpse.

So soon he found a small piece of jade between the corpse's legs.

Wu Liang took it out carefully, only to find that this small jade was exactly the same as the flying bird jade pendant found in the copper tripod before, and the word "Bian Que" was also engraved on the back of the jade pendant.

"Is this also a member or successor of the 'Bian Que' organization?"

It is not difficult to guess from the location where the jade pendant fell. This jade pendant should also be worn on the neck of the corpse. However, the rope hanging the jade pendant has completely rotted over time, so the jade pendant fell. between his legs.

If it is "Bian Que"...

Wu Liang once again looked at the weirdly shaped clay pot on the small stove.

What is being baked in that clay pot?

Eighty percent should be boiling medicine, right?
Then what kind of medicine was boiled, and why did this person die quietly in the middle of the boil, even before taking off the medicine on the small stove.

Since it is boiled medicine, then someone should take medicine, right?

Even if the person has died, why didn't the person who needed the medicine come to get the medicine?
At least judging from the situation at the scene, no one has moved this corpse, and no one should have moved the clay pots on the path...

Thinking about this, Wu Liang finally put his hands on the lid of the clay pot, trying to find out.

However, just when his hand just touched the lid.

"Brother talented, something is wrong, our big cock suddenly fell to the ground!"

Zhuge Liang's panicked voice suddenly came from behind.
