Queen Of Medicine

She was obviously frightened again when she saw the little girl holding the dominoes in her hand. She thought about the figure on the dominoes and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. If you take the sarcophagus in the middle as the center and the whole ground as a whole plane, the two bricks just stepped on are the raised parts of the figure on the dominoes. It is possible that the bricks corresponding to these raised parts are safe.

He walked into the tomb again and explored the way with a spear. Sure enough, the route was arranged according to a figure, forming a simple closed loop. On the other side of the wall, there is a long multi-storey shelf, which is full of all kinds of banquet tableware, which is about to allow the owner of the tomb to have fun all the time.

Zhuo Xi didn't dare touch any of them for fear of touching any mechanism. She observed the rows of patterns on the side of the shelf. In the corner at the end of the shelf is a box with the lid open and full of cups. There are bronze, glass and jade. The little girl's eyes lit up and praised her. It seems that these cups are very valuable.

She sighed that the slave was wearing coarse linen clothes and had only a pair of straw sandals on his feet, but the owner of the tomb even had such luxurious wine utensils for burial. It can be seen how rich and corrupt his life was. Several boxes against the wall behind the coffin were full of gold, silver and jewelry. The little girl leaned over with a cheer, picked up some beads, looked at Zhuo Xi timidly and asked, "sister, can I take it away?"

Zhuo Xi shrugged her shoulders and made no comment.

In the middle is a box of books. It was made of bamboo slips. She looked at it about. It was the seal script of the Qin and Han Dynasties. She could roughly recognize a few words. Most of them are art of war and political theory. Sure enough, the king won't forget to fight when he dies. Suddenly her eyes brightened and a corner of sheepskin appeared under the bamboo slips. This kind of sheepskin is mostly used for drawing. She immediately pulled it out and opened it. It was indeed a map, but it was not a map of the seven continents and eight oceans she was familiar with, but a whole continental map with the thirty seventh year of Zhongyong in the "Kingdom of Yudian" written on it. She looked and put the map in her pocket. He looked at the box again and was about to close it.

Xiaobai rushed over. He nodded the box with his head and the ground, and then looked at her with black eyes.

She held her forehead and sighed, "Xiaobai, if only you could speak."

"But can you tell me how you got in?"

Xiaobai nodded the box and the ground.

She said, "did you come in hidden in the box?"

Xiaobai nodded and shook his head.

She has a black line. What does that mean?

Xiaobai didn't understand. She swam to the side of the main coffin. There seemed to be a gap at the bottom of the sarcophagus. Xiaobai retracted the whole, stretched out his head and climbed out slowly.

She looked cold. "You said you came out of here?"

Xiaobai nods excitedly.

"Sister, is it right here?"

"It's possible." Zhuo Xi answered.

As soon as the little girl heard this, her face raised an excited look, and she was about to rush to the front of the sarcophagus. Zhuo Xi grabbed her. She calculated the route, and the sarcophagus happened to be located in the rectangular part where the two squares coincided. In other words, either the raised parts of the corresponding pattern of the bricks around the sarcophagus are safe, or only the location of the sarcophagus itself is safe.

But if there is no foothold around the sarcophagus, how did the person who came in to place the sarcophagus approach the sarcophagus and open it? From this point, it can be inferred that the raised bricks around the sarcophagus should be safe.

Zhuo Xi picked up the spear and tried tentatively. As expected, it was safe. The little girl happily jumped on the floor tile, squatted down and studied the sarcophagus.

Zhuo Xi lowered her head and looked at the box of books. Xiaobai swam back to her feet and drew a circle. She tried to carry the box as if it were fixed on the ground. She thought for a moment, took out all the books in the box and put them carefully on the safe floor tiles. As like as two peas around the bottom of the box, a row of identical totem patterns were engraved. She touched it one by one with her hands through the dim light. Sure enough, she touched a concave convex totem. As soon as she was happy, she was turning back and asked the little girl to pass her the dominoes. But in an instant, he was almost scared and shouted "no!"

The little girl is prying a crack in the sarcophagus with the bronze weapon Zhuo Xi took from the weapon rack. She is happily turning back to tell her sister the good news. As soon as Zhuo Xi's "no" came out, he clearly heard the sound of something crawling fast.

The little girl covered her ears and shouted at the same time. But soon she was speechless, and blood flowed out of her eyes, nostrils, mouth and ears. She whispered to Zhuo Xi, "sister, thank you. Dad said, "that jade dominoes is a keepsake for me to recognize my relatives in the future. Please take good care of it. If you meet someone who knows this card in the future, please live instead of me. Don't, don't make your relatives sad." She slowly sank to the ground, her eyes wide open.

Zhuo Xi's outstretched hand stopped in the air. He saw a black insect climbing out of the girl's nose and was about to rush to Zhuo Xi. Zhuo Xi was quick in eyes and hands, threw the spear and nailed it to the ground.

She looked at the tightly jointed Sarcophagus, carefully stepped over, took off the two dominoes hanging around the little girl's neck and returned to the bookcase. She closed the dominoes and poked them in, as if they were stuck in, but it seemed that something was missing. No response.

She took out the dominoes and observed them carefully. The middle of the dominoes is closed tightly, but the edge is a little strange. It is reasonable that the brand worn on the body may hurt the skin if it is cut so sharply. She looked around and saw the dagger made of animal teeth inserted into the straw sandals when she came in front. She snapped her fingers and took off the dagger. There is a square ring hanging at the end of the dagger, which is a bit like the key ring used in modern times. The circle is tied with straw rope, like an insignificant ornament. She took off the circle, closed the dominoes and put them into the circle. As expected, they were one.

She carefully stuck the new dominoes in the bottom of the box. With a roar, the sarcophagus moved backward and then left, revealing an underground hole. The underground cave and the sarcophagus also formed the shape of overlapping two square parts.

She hugged Xiaobai and laughed, "are you from here?"

Xiaobai struggled to nod.

"It's amazing, Xiaobai. How did you know I was here? How did you find this route? "

Xiaobai raised her head proudly, as if disdaining to answer her question.

Zhuo Xi carefully put the bamboo slips back into the box, pulled a piece of hemp thread from the edge of her coarse hemp clothes and tied it to the dominoes. Unfortunately, I glanced at the little girl. Then she jumped into the steps of the cave. She glanced at the box of books and sighed. If the world had arrived at the tomb, it would have been confused by all kinds of treasures and rare weapons and wine, how could she spare her sight to see the box of bamboo slips? Let alone empty it. But I don't know that my way of life is just hidden at the bottom of the most inconspicuous box of books. As soon as she pulled the rope, the dominoes turned an arc from the air and returned to her hand. The sarcophagus gradually closed. She was short and went to the underpass with Xiaobai in her arms.

Zhuo Xi swam out of the underground river to a water surface and dragged her heavy body ashore. Xiaobai poked her head out of her arms as if to ask, are you okay? That look is embedded in the small triangular face, not to mention how cute it is.

She was in a good mood for a moment. She wanted to catch some meat on her face. "It's okay. It's okay. It's just that she's been swimming for a long time and is a little tired."

She found a big tree and lay down. Her skirt came off and hung on the branch. At this time, it was the west of the sun. She lay on the ground, took a big breath of fresh air, and watched the sunset slanting on the coarse linen clothes, reflecting a soft light. She suddenly felt in a great mood. This is not only the feeling of the rest of life, but a new rebirth, a new free Zhuo Xi. She suddenly wanted to see what her face looked like, so she ran to the water and looked at herself with the waves. Sure enough, it was a completely strange face, with pretty facial features and a little childish. Even if it's good-looking or not, she always has low requirements for her appearance, as long as she doesn't have crooked melons and split dates.

Ha ha, ha ha, she laughed and lay back under the big tree. Xiaobai came with two red fruits she had eaten before. She already knew that the red fruit was detoxifying. She put the red fruit into her mouth and said strangely, "Xiaobai, you dived from the bottom of the water to the tomb just to save me?" Xiaobai nodded as if to take credit. Zhuo Xi kissed it moved, "you're great! After that, you will follow me to eat and drink spicy food. " Xiaobai twisted her body. She seemed to look at her and the red fruits on the ground. She seemed to say that now it's your food that I'm looking for. How can you take me to drink hot?

I don't know the origin of the original owner and it. It can risk its life and sneak into the groundwater with the detoxification fruit into the tomb to find the original owner who has been poisoned to the west, but now it's cheaper for her.

When it was getting dark, Zhuo Xi got up lazily, put on her outer skirt and walked slowly to the other side of the sun. She knew that after dark, there were some unknown dangers in the forest. She'd better find a place to stay for the night.

She searched for traces of people in the dense forest. There is a narrow path, which looks like it was left by a woodcutter when he cut firewood, but it seems that no one has been here for a long time. She walked along the trail and saw a tall building with its eaves exposed from a distance. She was overjoyed and ran forward quickly, but suddenly one hand stretched out from the nearby trees and grabbed her, and the other hand immediately put a knife on it.

The knife slipped from her neck and fell to the ground the next second“ "Ouch!" shouted a man in the back.

"What's the matter?"

Another voice leaned over.

Zhuo Xi turned around and saw two men dressed like bodyguards. One of them was covering his hands. The tiger's mouth was blue, which was obviously poisoned.

Another older bodyguard pulled out his knife and angrily scolded Zhuo Xi: "who the hell are you? What did you do to him? "

Zhuo Xi shrugged and didn't answer. Who told him to put a dagger around her neck as soon as he came up? Everyone has to resist, okay?

She patted Xiaobai in her arms encouragingly, knowing that it saved her.

"Little tiger, little tiger, how are you?"

The bodyguard called Xiaohu covered his hands and was sweating with pain. The blue color had covered his whole palm. He looked at the wound carefully and exclaimed in surprise, "it's a snake! It's snake venom! "

The elder bodyguard came back and bowed to Zhuo Xi and said, "girl, how offending my brother was just now. My brother and I were ordered to inspect the mountain. My brother just saw a stranger rushing here. I was afraid there was a situation, so he made a reckless move. It's our duty to ask you to spare my brother's life. "

"Yes, I just want to stop you and ask why the girl came and why." Xiaohu's speech was a little vague, but he still had a sharp pain and clearly expressed his meaning.

Zhuo Xi asked, "who ordered you to patrol what mountain?"

The elder guard said, "girl, my brothers are officers and soldiers of the 15th battalion of Bai Hui army under the account of marquis Guang'an. They are ordered by the king to guard the king's Mausoleum here. Today, we are on duty to patrol the mountain..."

"Brother Wu!" Xiaohu interrupted him.

Wu Xing comforted him, "I have discretion."

"Girl, we are really not bad people. Would you please detoxify my brother first and I will explain to you slowly?"

Zhuo Xi thought, lowered her head and called, "Xiaobai."

Xiaobai poked his head out of her chest, "do you know how to detoxify?"

Xiaobai nodded.

"Then go and find the antidote quickly." It slipped quickly down the ground and went deep into the grass.

Zhuo Xi looked up and saw the stunned expressions of the two brothers opposite“ Well, it will be back soon. "

Xiaohu glanced at her chest and blushed.

Zhuo Xi knew what he was thinking, chuckled and said, "little brother, don't your hands hurt?"

Wu Xing gave him a reproachful look and helped him to sit down. His hand was swollen like steamed bread, and the blue color was almost climbing to his elbow.

"I'm sorry. I scared the girl." He raised his eyes to Zhuo Xi, but changed his face when his eyes crossed the back of her hand.

"You... You..."

Xiaohu obviously saw the tattoo on the back of her hand, and his face looked angry and afraid.

Zhuo Xi raised her hand and looked at the tattoo on the outside of her wrist. Now she knows that this is the meaning of the funeral number.

She asked carelessly, "what's the matter?"

"You, did you come out of that tomb?" The tiger's tongue is about to knot.

"Yes." Zhuo Xi knew she couldn't hide it and admitted it generously.

Wu Xing drew out his knife. "I'm sorry, girl. Since you are a slave buried with me, how can you escape from the tomb? This is a great disrespect to the former king. "

Zhuo Xiqi said, "since I have escaped, what are you doing?" Do you want to send me back to continue to be buried?

"If you don't go back, I'll go to the tomb to collect the body in seven days. If a body is missing, I'll bury it with you. So, I'm sorry. " Wu Xing came up with a knife.

Zhuo Xi shouted while avoiding his moves, "if you kill me, you're not afraid of your brother's death?"

His move was a little hesitant, but he attacked again at the next moment, "a brother's life is not worth 250 lives in the whole camp!"

"Then think of a way to save your brother's life and the lives of the whole camp. Wouldn't it be good?"

Little tiger's eyes brightened, "brother Wu!"

Wu Xing stopped and looked at Zhuo Xi suspiciously, "do you have a way?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. How do I know there's no way?"

Xiaobai has turned back at this time, with a herbal medicine in her mouth. Zhuo Xi went up to take down the herbal medicine and handed it to Wu Xing, "do you think you should save your brother first or kill me next?"

Wu Xing put away his waist knife, took the herbal medicine, chewed it in his mouth and applied it to Xiaohu's wound.

Zhuo Xi picked up Xiaobai and said, "it's hard."

Little tiger looked at the little white snake in her hand with some fear. Wu Xing asked, "what's your plan, girl?"

Zhuo Xi thought, "how many slaves are buried in the tomb."

"The former king died, and now the king is kind and filial, sending a total of 1000 slaves to be buried."

"Let's bury them in the mausoleum. Then why kill them?"

"The funerary objects and utensils in the Royal Mausoleum are extremely valuable. If those Dalits are unwilling to die and destroy the utensils, what should they do?"

"Hehe, human life is not as noble as utensils in your eyes."

Wu Xing was stunned. "All kings, grandchildren and nobles have been buried with slaves. All of them are killed in the tomb, which can make their souls stay in the tomb forever and guard their masters."

"Then why do you have to clean up in seven days?"

"It's hard to avoid rotting and maggots when the corpse is left in the mausoleum. Seven days later, there will be another grave to bury bones."

"Why seven days later?"

"As usual, after seven days, all the grievances of the dead are gone. At this time, we should ask the wizard to make the loyal soul stay forever."

Zhuo Xi took a deep breath, couldn't understand their ideas, and asked, "how do you count the number?"

Wu Xing hesitated and said, "first receive the body, then cut off the wrist to the number mark, send it to the chief for acceptance, and ask the wizard to do it."

Over a dead man's wrist? Zhuo Xi can only ha ha.

She immediately found the loophole, "do you have a rule that it must be your left hand when you stab the number mark?"

Wu Xing immediately understood and was overjoyed. "No, most slaves prefer to use their right hand. They are afraid that the pain of tattooing on their right hand will affect their work. Only then do they generally stretch out their left hand, but few people prefer to use their left hand and tattoo with their right wrist."

Zhuo Xi spread her hand, "solved?"

"However, if you tattoo the body when carrying it, it may be easy to detect."

"Then go and make the prosthetic hand well first."

Wu Xing was about to say that the mausoleum is now closed for three days and no one is allowed to go in and out. Zhuo Xi waved her hand and said, "I see. Do you have any paint for tattoo? Lend me a hand. I'll arrange it myself. "

That night, she and Wu Xing dived back to the tomb.

When Wu Xing climbed out of the hole under the sarcophagus, his face was very gloomy.

He saw the little girl's bleeding body in her seven orifices and the black worm that died under the spear. He proposed to move the girl's body to the main hall. Zhuo Xi thought for a moment. If the bodyguard wanted to come in seven days later, it was bound to be restored here. She nodded and agreed. Wu Xing took the little girl's body and walked to the hall.

Zhuo Xi found a female corpse similar to her age and began to stab the same number in her other hand. Seeing Wu Xing watching, she suddenly asked, "it was you who slaughtered these slaves?"

Wu Xing was silent for a moment. "These slaves were going to be buried with us and were destined to die. If it weren't for us, it would be others."

Zhuo Xi said coldly, "slaves are also human beings, and they also have the right to live."

Wu Xing quickly put a long knife across her neck, "do you think you can live a normal life if you escape from here? You're a buried slave. What rights are you talking about? You deserve to die here. I can't kill you here too much. "

Zhuo Xi smiled back, "do you want to go back?"

"If you didn't threaten me with a tiger's life, why do you think I should listen to a slave? A slave is a slave. There is always only the obligation of obedience. Instead of risking fraud, I'd better kill you, the real burial object 826. I can't let the whole battalion take risks for you, a slave. "

"How can you prove that I am a slave buried with you?"

Wu Xing was stunned. Didn't he tell her before? He was stunned, but he saw Zhuo Xi quickly grasp his big knife and scrape the back of his left hand on the blade, scraping a layer of flesh.

She raised her bloody left hand. "With this bloody wound?" She turned her right hand holding the blade around her neck, put the long knife across the wall and put it on his neck. Her right foot had kicked into his knee socket at the same time. Wu Xing's foot bent and was immediately restrained by her.

She continued, "of course, you can also kill me and stab numbers in my other hand, but first, it's also a fraud. Secondly, with your skill, do you think you can easily kill me? Saving people's lives is better than building a level 7 floating slaughter. Besides, you just raised your hand and let me go. It's up to you to choose whether to make a fake on a dead person or on a living person you don't know if you can kill. "

Wu Xing had no choice but to watch her draw the tattoo, return to the main tomb, restore everything to the original state, and then return to Daying along the original road.

He asked her to stay for a few days and said that he would not let her leave until there was no problem after seven days.

She thought there was nowhere to go anyway. It would be better to stay for a few days first.
