Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

"Sir?"

Dian Wei and Yang Wanli rushed up to support Wu Liang.

The rest of the people also looked at him in surprise, no one knew what happened just now.

"Gollum!"

Wu Liang didn't say a word, but swallowed unconsciously.

Just now he saw that the thing drilled out of the bloody red soon showed a frightening face, it was not a human face, but...

Wu Liang couldn't tell what it was, he only saw that thing with sharp and dense mouthparts, and it rushed towards his eyes at an extremely fast speed. If he didn't hide fast enough, he even doubted it. That thing could directly rush out from the medicine man's eyeballs, and then enter his body through his eyes.

"My lord, what happened?"

Immediately, Zhen Mi stepped forward and squeezed Wu Liang's hand to comfort her, and asked softly.

"There's something inside this medicine man, and it's alive."

Wu Liang regained his composure, stared intently at the medicine man in front of him and said.

"There are living things?"

Hua Tuo suddenly looked suspicious.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and then said: "Doctor Hua, you just said that there is still a dismembered medicine man in this place, can you take me there to have a look?"

"This……"

Hua Tuo was obviously still digesting Wu Liang's discovery, so he nodded after being so dull for a while, "It's over there, please come with me, but I have carefully inspected the wreckage before, except for some flesh and bones that were destroyed by unknown people. The drug was soaked, and it was not completely decomposed like a normal corpse, and no other special features were found."

……

Soon Hua Tuo brought Wu Liang and others to an open space a hundred meters away.

There was only one small solitary grave on the open space, and there was a small decayed wooden board in front of the grave, but the wooden board was blank.

"After inspecting these wreckages, the old man couldn't bear to expose the corpses of this ancestor to the wilderness, so he took the initiative to bury these wreckages in situ."

Seeing that Wu Liang and others looked strange after seeing the grave bag, Hua Tuo took the initiative to explain.

"Since that's the case, Miracle Doctor Hua doesn't mind if I take out these wreckage again?"

Wu Liang said hypocritically.

"Wu Taishi also does good things that benefit the country, the people, and benefit future generations. Why should you care about these red tapes? I am not afraid of Wu Taishi's jokes. Sometimes I will do things that are not tolerated by etiquette and customs in order to find out the cause of the disease and treat more patients. things..."

Hua Tuo smiled in a reasonable manner, but he didn't repeat the details halfway through, and then gave way to Wu Liang and others, and then said, "Wu Taishi, please, I think this senior has knowledge, and he won't." So blame us."

"What Miracle Doctor Hua said is reasonable."

Wu Liang and Hua Tuo looked at each other and smiled, already guessing what those "things that are not tolerated by etiquette and customs" in his mouth were.

What is Hua Tuo best at?
Even people in later generations can immediately say that Hua Tuo's most talked about surgery is surgery, which is why later generations have honorable titles such as "surgery master" and "surgery originator".

Surgery requires surgery, and naturally requires more clinical experience.

If you can't know everything about human organs, blood vessels, nerves, and other important organs and tissues, then it is very likely that a knife will not save people, but kill them. …

How to accumulate such clinical experience?
Obviously, it is impossible to dissect a living person. This is not just a category that is not tolerated by etiquette and customs, but also a category of perverts and murderers.

Hua Tuo believed in "the benevolence of doctors", so naturally he couldn't do such a thing.

Looking at the development history of surgical medical technology in the world, dissecting dead bodies has become the only choice for Hua Tuo. Whether domestic or foreign, ancient or later, almost all the development of surgical medical technology starts from dissecting dead bodies.

Foreign doctors usually spend money to bribe officials and jailers, and ask for the corpses of prisoners who have been hanged from them, or simply stare at the execution ground, as long as a prisoner is hanged, they will go to steal it when the moon is dark and the wind is high. corpses, and even some doctors were arrested, and eventually hanged on the same gallows as those prisoners.

Compared with foreign countries, the surgical technology of ancient China developed slowly, and it was closely related to people's cultural customs.

For example, in the Han Dynasty where Wu Liang is now, he pays great attention to the dogma of "the body, hair and skin are the parents", and it is so serious that he almost never shaves or cuts his hair, so that every man has long hair and beard, and Wu Liang's occasional shave with a clean cut is a strange thing in people's eyes.

Fortunately, he is backed by Boss Cao, and he does not participate in politics and military affairs, and does not deal with those noble families, so he did not attract too much criticism.

Besides.

The Han Dynasty was also one of the dynasties that most respected burials. The corpse must be buried in a grand manner, and the whole body must be preserved. He arranges a ghost marriage, and adopts the offspring of his brother to the deceased to ensure that there will be successors... This is the case for the child prodigy Cao Chong. After his early death, Boss Cao found an unmarried dead daughter from the Zhen Mi family to marry He married in the dark, and adopted Cao Cong, Cao Ju's son, to Cao Chong as his heir.

In this context.

It is absolutely impossible for Hua Tuo to obtain dead bodies for anatomical research through formal channels, but he can still become an experienced "surgical master" in this way. It is self-evident what he has done during this period.

After figuring out this joint, Wu Liang naturally had nothing to shy away from, and immediately nodded to Yang Wanli: "Master Hua is one of his own, let's take the brothers to do it."

……

After the small grave was dug up, some broken arms and limbs were exposed in front of Wu Liang.

Wu Liang placed all of them on a square cloth, and squatted down to piece together the broken arms and limbs according to the structure of the human body.

Surprisingly, the wreckage was relatively intact, with only part of the chest tissue, right forearm and left calf missing.

By observing the fracture location, Wu Liang found that the soft tissue under the skin of the remains was preserved intact. Although these tissues have all turned into a state similar to a tanned corpse, it can still be clearly observed that the soft tissue that runs through blood vessels and nerves.

"I have checked carefully before. Except for the blood and pipettes that have been coagulated, this remains is the same as a living person in other respects, and there is no sign of decay or atrophy."…

Hua Tuo said at the right time, "It's a pity that the organs of the remains have not been preserved, and I don't know if they were lost when they were dismembered. In short, when I entered the holy mountain and saw it last month, its chest cavity was empty. One thing, so it is impossible to judge whether its organs are diseased."

"Besides these, does Miracle Doctor Hua have other discoveries?"

Wu Liang looked back at Hua Tuo, then asked.

Speaking of autopsy, Wu Liang was completely a layman. Now that Hua Tuo, the chief surgeon, was around, he naturally didn't need to play tricks. He only needed to listen to Hua Tuo's judgment and make his own judgment.

"Wu Taishi, please look here."

Hua Tuo simply leaned forward, picked up half of the broken leg at close range, pointed to the broken cross section and said to Wu Liang, "The only thing I am puzzled about is these small holes hidden in the body. After careful identification, this small hole actually runs through the eight extraordinary meridians in the human body."

"For example, this small hole is on the Yangwei meridian among the eight meridians, and this small hole is on the Yinyu meridian among the eight meridians."

While talking, Hua Tuo pointed out two small holes with a diameter of about 1 mm for Wu Liang to check, but then said, "But I don't know if Wu Taishi knows that the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body are actually invisible to the naked eye, so they are normal. Under the circumstances, such a small hole should not exist at all, and this medicine man should be the same as the medicine man I kept before being dismembered. In such a complete state, no one should be able to create a hole in the medicine man. Out of these small holes, this is what I am most puzzled about."

"Is that so?"

After hearing Hua Tuo's words, Wu Liang immediately picked up the stumps adjacent to it and compared them. Sure enough, similar small holes were found in the stumps adjacent to them. In contrast, it should obviously run through a line.

Continuing to inspect the patched medicine man's body along these small holes, he found that the missing parts were removed, and these small holes really extended all the way to the top of the corpse's head...

In fact, Wu Liang didn't have a detailed understanding of the Eight Extra Meridians and acupuncture points, but he also knew that both the Yangwei Meridian and the Yinyu Meridian were indeed a meridian that connected from the feet all the way to the top of the head, so it was not difficult to judge that Hua Tuo was here. Nothing was hidden.

At the same time, Wu Liang knew it very well.

The meridians of the human body are indeed invisible to the naked eye. Even medical experts of later generations can only deduce them from some ancient Chinese medicine books. Therefore, it is reasonable for Hua Tuo to be puzzled by these small holes.

So ponder for a moment.

"Doctor Hua..."

Wu Liang said thoughtfully, "As far as I know, the acupuncture points of the human body are located on the meridians. You can make the medicine man close his eyes and stay still when you give the medicine man a needle. Does this explain the medicine man's meridians and acupuncture points? It is still running until now, so the medicine man can move, and the needle you inserted into the acupuncture point makes the medicine man's meridians no longer flow smoothly, so the medicine man will be restrained smoothly?"

"However, the blood of these medicinal people has long been coagulated, and the organs must have lost their effectiveness long ago, and these organs are inseparable from the operation of the meridians. If these organs are no longer functioning, how can the meridians continue to run?"

Hua Tuo frowned, "Wu Taishi didn't know that meridians are very important to the human body, but according to my years of research, the human body is actually a sophisticated whole. Wait, etc., all of these activities are indispensable to the human body, and if any one goes wrong, it will inevitably lead to disorder in other aspects, ranging from serious illness to death, so there is absolutely no way for the meridians to run alone possible."…

"Well... that makes sense."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, and continued to concentrate on thinking, "But if... I bring up an unconstrained idea, if it is wrong, please don't laugh at Miracle Doctor Hua, we might as well make a hypothesis, if there is something that is not related to other organs. Under such circumstances, forcibly pushing the meridians to continue to run, is it possible to realize the situation that the body can still move even though the person is dead?"

"This……"

Hua Tuo was stunned when he heard the words, obviously he had never made such an idea.

"To tell you the truth, doctor Hua, I got a wooden armor suspected to be made by Yanshi by chance. This wooden armor has no flesh and blood. Although it has internal organs, after my preliminary research, I found that the internal organs of the wooden armor are Among them are some magnetic powders, and there are also some carefully arranged holes and silk threads in the wooden armor, and the distribution of these holes and silk threads roughly coincides with the eight extraordinary meridians."

Wu Liang went on to say, "The wooden armor formed in this way, although it is broken, one of its arms can still make some simple movements like a living person, and later I found a descendant of Yanshi , although this person did not inherit all the craftsmanship of making wooden armor, he confirmed that the operation of wooden armor is indeed related to the eight meridians, so I have such a guess, after all, this medicine man is related to wooden armor in some aspects Armor is very similar."

"If Wu Taishi's words are true, it is not impossible."

Hua Tuo murmured, "It's a pity that the medicine man has become like this. Even if there was something hidden in the body and forced the meridians to run along these small holes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to prove it now, unless..."

The words end here.

Hua Tuo turned his head to look at the small stone house he had built, and said with some reluctance in his tone: "Unless we cut open the complete medicine man for inspection, I'm afraid there is no other way."

Wu Liang could tell that although Hua Tuo's tone was a little bit reluctant, he was actually thinking of cutting the whole medicine man open.

As a doctor who strives for excellence, curiosity is the core driving force. Before he dared to do things that would kill his head if he was caught in order to understand the human body, he would give up his life. Now in order to understand this Puzzles, no matter how distressed they are, they must be ruthless.

"No hurry, let me check to see if there are any other details that I have overlooked."

Wu Liang temporarily stabilized Hua Tuo, and continued to check every detail on the remains of the medicine man.

After checking it from top to bottom, he finally found nothing worth noting, so he had to turn his attention to Yaoren's neck-cut head.

At this moment, the medicine man's head has his eyes tightly closed, and the eye sockets are deeply sunken. It seems that the eyeballs under the eyelids have been taken away long ago.

But Wu Liang still opened its eyelids.

Under the eyelids is the eye socket with a hole, and the soft tissue inside the eye socket is also very well preserved. If you look closely, you can also see a small hole with a diameter of about 1 mm in the innermost part of the eye socket.

The other eye socket is still the same.

"In this case, if the eyeball obtained by Sanmen Village is put into the eye socket, will this medicine man be able to 'live'?"

Wu Liang couldn't help thinking.
