Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Yu Ji's words instantly opened up a new way of thinking for Wu Liang.

What he said was indeed very reasonable, aside from those fancy myths and legends, the related descriptions of Jiuli Kingdom and Chi You might indeed come about because of this.

After all, people always have various associations and rumors about things they don't understand, and they have not changed even in later generations.

As far as humans in ancient times were concerned, there were even more things they didn't understand. As the tribal alliance that first mastered copper smelting technology, Jiuli Kingdom, some of their behaviors were incomprehensible aliens in the eyes of other tribes, so It is indeed very easy to have similar misunderstandings and rumors.

However, it is not easy to verify this.

Unless Wu Liang was able to find records about this matter from other tribes other than Jiuli Kingdom, and he needed to find more records for comparison and analysis, then it would be possible to draw the closest conclusion to the truth through the details.

Unfortunately, as far as he knows, whether it is today or later generations, there are only a few records related to the battle before and after the battle, and the earliest can only be traced back to the "Shan Hai Jing" written in the pre-Qin period.

In addition, the earliest primitive hieroglyphic characters in the Celestial Dynasty originated from a tribal leader named Cang Jie, and Cang Jie was the left historian of the Yellow Emperor. That is to say, the real appearance of Chinese characters in the Celestial Dynasty and its promotion to a certain extent must have been completed when the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You After unification.

Therefore, even if Wu Liang really had the opportunity to find the remains of other tribes in the same period, I am afraid that it is basically impossible to find relevant documents. Incomprehensible ancient murals, these things also cannot clearly express the views of other tribes on Jiuli Kingdom.

Thinking about it like this.

"Sir."

Wu Liang looked at Yu Ji solemnly, "Your thoughts are very insightful, please compile them into a book after you go out, and then I will record them in the history book I plan to compile. Maybe this idea is not only Not only does it give us some enlightenment now, it can also provide a research direction for people who study historical facts in future generations."

"Hahaha, does the young master agree with the old guess?"

Seeing that Wu Liang's expression and tone were very serious, Yu Ji was a little embarrassed, scratching his thinning hair while laughing dryly, "Since the young master likes the nonsense of the old man, I should try my best to handle this matter well."

"We should discover some things in the future. Please pay more attention to the old gentleman. You don't have to stick to how the previous history books record this period of history. As long as it is a reasonable guess, the old gentleman can do whatever he wants."

Wu Liang said again.

Yu Ji smiled brighter, nodded again and again and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this old man is the best at this."

……

With the participation of Yang Wanli and those soldiers from the Tuan army who had previously repaired the gate tower, the efficiency of the excavation work was immediately improved by a large margin.

Next, more corpses and armored stomachs were unearthed one after another.

Similar to the previous discoveries, there is a height difference of about one foot between these relatively visible corpses and those armor stomachs, and this height difference of one foot seems to be a time difference of thousands of years, which is simply inconceivable. …

And as time went by, the looming problem of the Huan army gradually became apparent.

It's usually time to close work and eat for a while.

Wu Liang didn't tell everyone to rest, and Bai Jingjing and other women still stayed at the scene to help carry some soil instead of returning to Hexin Island to cook.

How could the soldiers of the Huren Army, who were already hungry and exhausted, feel nothing.

They kept secretly looking at Wu Liang, and it was self-evident what they were thinking in their hearts.

Wu Liang knew that it was impossible to keep this matter a secret, so he stood up and said loudly to everyone: "Brothers, I have two news announcements, one is good news and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"bad news!"

"Good news, I want to hear the good news first."

"I also want to hear the bad news first..."

Everyone stopped and chattered to respond, but in the end, the voices of bad news accounted for the majority... In fact, when Wu Liang asked this question, they had already had some guesses about the bad news. There are some signs, and some of them have also participated in the previous hunting supplies.

"Okay, let's start with the bad news."

Wu Liang nodded, and said helplessly, "The bad news is that we can't go hunting these days, our food has been exhausted, and I'm afraid we will be hungry from now on."

"..."

Everyone in the Huanren Army suddenly fell silent, and the one who should come has indeed come.

But after two seconds of silence, someone immediately said unwillingly: "My lord, isn't there some good news?"

"The good news is we still have clean water."

Wu Liang continued, "As far as I know, as long as there is water, as long as everyone endures hunger, it shouldn't be a problem to persist for another three to five days. However, all the signs that have been discovered now indicate that apart from the three gate towers, there is no problem in this place. There must be other ways to connect to the outside world, as long as everyone is patient, I am confident that I will find a way to leave here within this period of time!"

In fact, when there is water, people can live longer, definitely not just as short as three to five days. There are relevant research data on this matter in later generations.

But the premise is that consumption must be reduced as much as possible.

And since the Tau army wanted to excavate this ruins, it was impossible to lie still. On the contrary, they had to do a lot of physical labor every day, so it would be considered good if they could persist for another three to five days.

"Since the young master has said so, so what if we starve for three to five days, as long as we can get out alive, we will still eat meat and drink when we return to Chenliu!"

"My lord, after returning to Chenliu, can you give us a few jars of your drinkable shochu?"

"Young master, I want to eat beef once. I heard that every few months in Chenliu's Zhu family, the cattle are accidentally dropped to death. You and the third son of the Zhu family are brothers of the opposite sex. Next time you go back to his house, if a cow falls to your death, go to him." How about giving us a taste of something new?"

"Hahahahaha..."

"What are you laughing at, don't you want to try it?"

"Hahahahaha..."...

Everyone burst into laughter as they spoke.

"The cow accidentally fell to his death" was very common in the Han Dynasty, and it would only appear in a big family like the Zhu family. In fact, everyone knew what was going on. It was nothing more than the Zhu family wanted to eat beef, and the Han Dynasty According to the law, as an important production tool, farm cattle cannot be slaughtered. Unless the cattle die of old age or accidental death, they can be disposed of by the cattle owner themselves.

Therefore, the so-called "cow accidentally fell to death" of the big family is just a fig leaf on the bright side. In the ordinary peasant household, the peasant household who owns the cattle is at least in the category of rich peasants, and their cattle will never Even if the cow is frightened and goes crazy and kills his wife and children, he still is reluctant to kill the cow... These days, the life of a cow is much rarer than the life of a human.

"This?"

Seeing that the crowd could still laugh after learning that the food was exhausted, Hua Tuo couldn't help but wondered in his heart. He thought that the morale of these soldiers would definitely drop immediately.

Even, he has begun to worry about his situation...

Living in this era, he has been to countless disaster areas and met countless victims. He has seen the dead bodies of wild dogs eating and dying with his own eyes, and he has also seen the terrible scene of "human cannibalism".

People are hungry and anxious, but they can do anything.

And as an outsider, he will definitely become the target of everyone in the Huan army first. At that time, no matter whether you are a "miracle doctor" or a "Taishi Ling", in the eyes of a group of hungry and irrational people, there is nothing like a large piece of walking pork. Any difference... Besides, in this secret place, no one knows what they have done.

But the people in the Huanren Army gave him a different feeling now.

They didn't seem to be too worried about this matter, and they didn't have any doubts about Wu Liang's words, as if they really just needed to accept a hunger test for three to five days, and then they would definitely be able to leave this secret place , Go back to Chenliu, drink and eat meat, and eat beef that is comparable to gold in this world... Where did they get the confidence?

……

And what Hua Tuo never thought of was even more.

Not only did the people in the Tuan army not cause trouble due to the lack of morale due to the exhaustion of food, but they worked harder than before.

They even spontaneously decided to take turns to carry out excavation work day and night.

What a strange bunch of guys, as hard to read as Wu Taishi.

But that night, they still suffered some blows.

Hua Tuo was woken up in the early hours of the morning. Of course, the soldiers of the Tuo Army did not come to look for him, but Wu Liang. Since Hua Tuo heard it, he got up and followed to the excavation site.

It was only after he came out that he realized that the rest of the Huan army had all gathered around Wu Liang when they heard the movement.

In this way, we came to the excavation site together, only to see two corpses placed alone in an open space.

The two corpses didn't look much different from the others, and they were also badly decomposed, so Hua Tuo couldn't figure out why the Huanren Army should treat them differently.

After Wu Liang looked it over carefully, he quickly gave the answer. He nodded with a heavy expression: "Yes, it is indeed the two brothers who were dragged into the water by that strange insect before." …

"My lord, what should we do with these two brothers?"

Yang Wanli also asked in a heavy tone.

"At this level, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bring Chen Liu back to the earth..."

Wu Liang sighed helplessly, "I mean cremation. Take their ashes back. If there is a family record, they will be sent back to the home. Place the ashes in the Hall of Heroes, bury the ashes near the station, and then set up a row to stand in the Hall of Heroes for worship."

"If they know how the young master handles their affairs after death, they will be very grateful."

Yang Wanli sniffed and murmured.

Soon after.

The corpses of the two Tuan army soldiers were carried to Hexin Island, and two firewood piles had already been set up, and the two corpses were carefully placed on the firewood piles.

"Everyone, give the two brothers a ride!"

Holding a torch, Wu Liang came to the two firewood piles in person, took the lead to give a solemn military salute, and shouted loudly, "Two brothers, go all the way!"

"farewell!"

Everyone also performed a neat military salute, speaking in unison.

As the torch was thrown into the pyre, the raging fire ignited, and the light of the fire shone on the faces of everyone at the scene. Although there were no tears or crying, they were extremely solemn.

"..."

As an outsider, although Hua Tuo couldn't empathize.

But he could tell that this small group was different from any group he had ever seen. Although they had different positions and powers, everyone's life and dignity were equally respected, and no one was inferior to the other. , no one is humbler than anyone else, and no one is more damned than anyone else.

This is even more precious in this era when human life is so trivial, at least everyone here is treated as a human being.

For a moment.

Hua Tuo was a little envious, and wanted to join such a small group and become a member of it... Humans are always social animals. Even if they can walk alone, they would occasionally long to join a group that suits them and recognizes them.

……

After this simple funeral ceremony was completed, Wu Liang personally collected the ashes of two soldiers of the Tuan Army.

After the two wooden boxes containing the ashes were safely deposited, the excavation continued.

And this incident further increased the confidence of Wu Liang and the Tuan Army soldiers in getting out of this secret place alive. Although they were the same as those floating corpses, these two Tuan Army soldiers were the people they were most familiar with. Wu Liang and the others knew them very well. What happened, seeing their corpses here again undoubtedly further verified Wu Liang's conjecture that there must be a mysterious passage leading to the outside world below!

And Wu Liang believes that this must be a two-way channel, because those strange insects can go out.

In addition, Wu Liang felt that they should not be far from this mysterious passage, and the corpses of these two soldiers of the Huan army also proved that...

After this incident, the sky was already dark.

The people on shift didn't feel sleepy at all, and they had been hungry all day and night, and it was not so easy to fall asleep, so everyone unanimously decided to take advantage of the fact that their physical strength had not declined significantly due to hunger, and seize all the time to further advance the excavation. speed.

as of now.

The people of the Huan army have unearthed hundreds of floating corpses, all of which were placed in a large pit in the distance, and they will be burned after the excavation is completed... This is also a good thing for those floating corpses, after all, However, it is a dangerous place with a pattern of dead dragons. It may be very detrimental to their descendants and clansmen to teach those corpses to stay here.

And dozens of pairs of those armors were unearthed...

And so on until around noon.

Yang Wanli suddenly came to report: "Young master, our people dug out a section of copper pillar. The copper pillar was injured by an engineer shovel during the excavation process, and a lot of blue liquid leaked out of it!"
