Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 72 Tanned Corpse
"Miss Bai may have misunderstood. I just wanted to pay my respects to the remains of the tomb owner out of courtesy. I have come here and accepted a gift from the tomb owner. After all, I want to say hello, otherwise it would be rude."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Can opening a coffin have anything to do with etiquette? Thanks to you being able to say such a thing, it's really shameless. Pooh!"

Bai Jingjing immediately opened her almond eyes and scolded.

"Hey, just take a look and make sure you don't disturb the cleanliness of the owner of the tomb."

Wu Liang was not angry at all, he still said with a playful smile.

"Don't think about it!"

Bai Jingjing raised her chest resolutely, stood in front of the bronze coffin and glared at Wu Liang, as if "I'm in the coffin and I'm in the coffin and I'm dead".

What tricks are these young couple up to?
Cao Ting and the others looked at it inexplicably, because they didn't know Bai Jingjing's identity, they always felt like they had eaten dog food.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's up to you!"

Wu Liang's face turned cold, and he yanked the rope in his hand.

"what……"

Bai Jingjing was arguing with him with her chest upright, so she naturally lost some precautions. When she let out a scream, she was pulled away and slammed into Wu Liang's arms involuntarily.

"You! You despicable and dirty person!"

Bai Jingjing immediately blushed, and while hastily twisting her body to back away, she cursed angrily, as if she wanted to swallow him alive.

"You bumped into it yourself, what has it to do with me?"

Wu Liang chuckled, lifted the hemp rope that slipped around the back of Bai Jingjing's neck, and looked back at Cao Ting and the others who were watching the play with envious expressions on their faces, "Brother An Min, why are you still interested in the play? Open the coffin?"

"Oh... Come on! Let's drive together!"

Only then did Cao Ting come back to his senses, and hurriedly beckoned the rest of the people to walk towards the bronze coffin.

The last time there was no need to open the coffin at the tomb of King Liang Xiao, and Chen Jinshui, who entered the main tomb at the end, is now looking after Wu Liang's house. Only together can we be courageous.

Seeing this, Bai Jingjing could no longer care about the shyness just now, and immediately struggled and shouted to everyone:
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this kind of thing?"

"I told you to stop!"

"stop it!"

"..."

But no matter what Bai Jingjing yelled, Cao Ti and the others turned a deaf ear to them, and just used their saber and engineer shovel to cut the leather straps tied on the bronze coffin.

Yes, this bronze coffin was not sealed with nails.

Instead, a relatively ancient way of sealing the coffin was used. The coffin and the coffin lid were tied together with special leather straps, three horizontally and two vertically. The vertical boards were long and the horizontal boards were short. .

This method of sealing coffins has a long history, and even later generations still use it.

As far as Wu Liang knew, there is another folk saying that this method of sealing the coffin is to lock the soul with nails, similar to a magic spell, which will prevent the tomb owner from reincarnating.

A moment later, amidst Bai Jingjing's weaker and weaker yelling, all five pimps had been cut off.

Cao Ti and others looked back at Wu Liang, asking for his opinion.

"open it!"

Wu Liang nodded.

The three soldiers immediately inserted the engineering shovel into the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin, and then they all pushed hard together, and then all retreated together.

Just heard a loud bang.

The heavy bronze coffin lid fell to the ground, shaking up the dust on the floor of countless palaces.

After the dust had dispersed a little, Wu Liang also took out the copper dagger from the back of his waist, and cautiously came to the front of the bronze coffin, and looked inside from behind.

Only after looking at it did I realize that the so-called "Guangchuan Immortal King" actually only had "coffins" and no "coffins".

The so-called "coffin" is actually two things.

"Coffin" is the coffin containing the body of the owner of the tomb, while "coffin" is a layer of protective coat outside the coffin. The two together form the "coffin".

Previously, Wu Liang saw that the bronze hall was not small, so he naturally thought that it was also a set of "coffins" with two floors.

But the scene in front of him told him that things were not as he expected.

After opening only one floor, he had already seen the lying corpse of the owner of the tomb.

Different from those wives, concubines and servants outside, the corpse of the owner of the tomb is actually a "tanned corpse" covered in purple and black and even a little shiny!
The so-called "tanned corpse" focuses on the word "tanned".

The production method is somewhat similar to the process of tanning leather. The corpse is soaked in a special acidic substance. After soaking for a long time, some corpses will start to turn into leather. And the "tanned corpse" that is not easy to be corroded by moisture is made.

However, the preservation time of this kind of corpse is only relatively long, and it cannot exist forever.

Therefore, the "tanned corpse" found in the archaeological world of later generations is very rare, and the earliest one was only a male "tanned corpse" found in a tomb of a husband and wife in the Yuan Dynasty.

"Is this the corpse of King Liu Qu of Guangchuan?"

Wu Liang took out a multi-layered linen cloth prepared in advance and covered his face to resist the pungent sour smell, came to the head of the bronze hall, and carefully took out a jade seal placed on the right side of the corpse's head.

Turning over the jade seal, six small characters in seal script appear in front of you - "Liu Quxi, King of Guangchuan".

It should be right now.

Even in later generations of archaeology, the seal in the coffin is an important basis for judging the identity of the owner of the tomb. As long as the seal is found, the identity can basically be determined.

Only those ancient tombs where the jade seal cannot be found will be inferred based on some documents left in the tomb.

so……

The tanned corpse in front of him is Liu Qu?

Wu Liang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Psychologically, he still refuses to believe that this is true. Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan who has stolen countless treasures in history, was buried in secret after his death, and even arranged for a tomb guard to guard it. In the end, there was only this battle in the tomb ?

There is no yellow sausage problem!

There is no witch hazel jade coat!

There are no rare treasures!

Even the coffin has a coffin but no outer shell!

How could Wu Liang be so reconciled, subconsciously looked back at Bai Jingjing.

At this moment, the coffin was opened, and Bai Jingjing seemed to resign herself to her fate and stopped shouting, but when she saw his eyes, she immediately opened her beautiful eyes and shouted: "Shameless man, now that the coffin has also been opened, the owner of the tomb has also seen it. What else do you want?"

It was also this scolding that gave Wu Liang a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly remembered a detail recorded in "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes"!
"Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" mentioned that Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan, had injured his left foot because of stealing Luan Shuzhong, and said that his "foot was swollen, painful and sore, and he was not bad until death." That is to say, Liu Qu's left foot should be Leaving wounds.

It happened that the skin of the tanned corpse in front of him was well preserved, which became one of the important evidences for verifying the identity of the corpse apart from the seal!
